1675 Assault on Gangfei (2)

The chaotic scene in front of him made Ramia, who was messy in the wind, full of horror,

The area of the explosion was at the forefront of the military formation, and the white light brought up scorched his retina, and the squadron of the first row of the Gangfei Army in front of him suffered the most violent blow, the soldiers were like a row of thatch lifted by the wind, thrown into the air without a sense of weight, and then fell, the entire row of soldiers was pushed, the three heavy swordsman squadrons were affected, and the soldiers in the other annexes were so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they could no longer control the choice of retreat, hoping not to be swept into the explosion

"It's the thunder god of the northwest, it must be the thunder god!" Ramia's expression was pale as if she had thought of something, "My lord, what is Thor?" A general who had just not been in the army asked curiously, "A mysterious weapon of the Northwest Navy!" Ramia held the reins of the war horse under his crotch with his hand, his face was solemn, and he replied speciously,

In fact, he himself has never seen the true face of the rumored "Thor", only knows that in the battle of the southwest, the Gangfei Navy, as the main force of the strategic attack, encountered a fierce resistance from the Northwest Navy, and the Gangfei Navy not only suffered a heavy defeat, but also lost the initiative of the entire strategy, and the original plan of the sea and land to jointly attack the southwest was completely aborted, and the army's unilateral offensive was finally contained by the Southwest Army, and finally had to be withdrawn, and the results of the January struggle of more than 100,000 troops were in vain.

The news that the Northwest Navy warships are equipped with a long-range new weapon called "Thor" also came out after the war, and the Gangfei Navy immediately submitted a report to the Gangfei Emperor after learning about the specific situation of the original naval battle, saying that in the navy, the Northwest Navy already has the strength to dominate the sea area, and the Navy is intensively studying countermeasures, but as an army, Ramia did not expect that he would encounter the navy's weapons "immediately order all the troops to retreat!"

Ramia ordered loudly with a panicked expression, according to the report of the navy, the range of the opposing Thor was between 500 and 800 meters. Far beyond ordinary catapults, the power of the explosion is enough to penetrate the armor of any non-warship in active service, "If even the armor of a battleship can penetrate it, the armor worn by the soldiers is as thin as a piece of paper! The shamelessness of the other party has reached the point of despicability" Ramia looked sad and indignant,

The other side first shot and killed the former standard-bearers in disregard of the rules, and then launched a fierce attack without warning! A chaotic explosion was like a hooligan who did not hesitate to use any means and had no sense of honor to speak of

Although the heavy bombardment caused many casualties among the Congo soldiers. But it was not enough to inflict fatal damage on the large army that numbered more than 100,000 people, and in the forward area with the most intensive shelling, at least more than 5,000 of the best non-elite soldiers were shrouded in fire at the first time.

The scorching waves that rolled up from the explosion point, and the nearby troops that hit were all unconsciously backwards away from the explosion area, and the hundreds of originally solemn queues now became somewhat scattered. It was like being hit with a stick, especially in the area where the blow had been hit, the queue was completely chaotic, and the soldiers were running around in the explosion against the orders of the officers. The soldiers were lifted into the air like fallen leaves, and the ownerless horses bowed their heads and wailed in the open space where fireballs fell from time to time.

After the explosion lasted for half an hour,

The white line shot from the head of the fortress city weakened. That's part of Thor's barrel that needs to be cooled down in turns, and it can't continue to fire fifty Thor at the same time, only sporadic shooting continues. Finally stop completely. "It seems that the persistence of this weapon is a weakness!"

Ramia's eyes narrowed slightly, and he was very keenly aware of this, some things, as long as he knew the weakness, it didn't seem so terrible, he withdrew the army to a place a thousand meters away from the fortress, and lined up again, and the Gangfei cavalry, who had originally retreated, immediately held the military flag again, and began to rush over like a performance, "Sure enough, I still don't give up"

The fat man looked at the Gangfei people who swooped down again in the distance, and put down the lookout in his hand with a smile, the Thor of Ruilin Fortress is only fifty, and the damage that can be created is very limited, at most it is a deterrent, the fat man ordered the shelling in the hope of taking a look, the reaction of the Gangfei army under the sudden blow, the rapid withdrawal of the other party, and the lack of chaotic queues, all show that the Gangfei army in front of him is not a miscellaneous army, but a real Gangfei Empire's regular army,

The Gang Fei people's phalanx formed an attack line according to the queue, the soldiers were mainly sword-wielding infantry, mixed with a part of the heavy shields, the main battle class of the Gang Fei was a kind of heavy armor wearing silver and bright colors, with a white tassel up to half a meter long fluttering on the helmet, and a heavy swordsman with a two-handed sword of up to 2 meters in his hand, and a heavy spearman wearing a whole piece of forged plate armor, and a heavy pikeman with joint protection iron armor under it,

These pikemen did not have the shields of heavy pikemen, but in their left hand there was a semicircular tower shield inlaid in the armor, and the phalanx formed by these soldiers was the soul of the Gaul procession, and from a distance, it looked like a dense forest with a cold metal light, a tight array, forming rows of steel walls on the wasteland outside the city, and the military flags fluttered in the wind, making a crackling sound, "Forward"

Armored non-infantrymen shouting "attack" The slogans began to march towards the fortress in parallel, this time they learned to behave, the queue took a vertical line, like a long dragon to delay backwards, even if they encountered an explosion like the one just now, the damage that could be created was very limited, behind them were several large siege tower vehicles that they had not seen just now, huge arrow cluster baffles and three layers of height, like a giant beast emerging from the fog, below the siege tower car, was the attack line of the phalanx swordsmen, these soldiers in heavy armor, the pace was as slow as the siege tower, although they were wearing heavy armor and holding heavy swords, the whole body was extremely tightly protected, well-trained, not panicked, the expression on the face was not relaxed at all,,

Without much hesitation, almost at the same time, the battle column advanced smoothly and orderly, and the heavy feeling of the cold light bursting with guns like a mountain gave people infinite pressure, like a collapsing mountain pressing on

"Your Majesty, can we fight back?"

On the walls of the fortress, five thousand Falcon Army archers were neatly half-squatting behind the battlements, and their cold eyes fell on the Gangfei soldiers who came slowly in the distance.

"Don't worry" The fat man waved his hand, looked at the Thor soldiers who were cleaning the barrel, and said, "Even if it's pretended." It also has to be like a little bit, if Thor doesn't launch once, the enemy won't be able to press all the way!"

Ten minutes later, the line of attack of the Congo-African army approached 200 meters from the fortress

"Shoot!" shouted the fat man decisively

The Thor on the "Boom" fortress roared again, the fire and white smoke spewed out from the fortress at once, and sporadic explosions blocked the advance of the Gangnon people, and from time to time the queue of Gangnon infantry was blown up, and the explosions continued to fall in front of the fortress,

Weapons and corpses that exploded in the air and flew in mid-air. The result is the most beautiful and tragic scenery, but because the queue is a vertical queue, even if the explosion is nearby, the range that can be affected is very limited

Ramia looked coldly at the violent explosion in front of the fortress, and realized that it might be due to time, this time the bombardment was obviously not as good as the last one, and the damage caused was not large, only thousands of soldiers were hit and blown away, for the hundreds of queues that were still moving forward in the back. Such losses are almost minimal,

Ramia waits, waiting for Thor, the most powerful defensive weapon in the Reef Fortress, to lose its effectiveness, as long as Thor enters the cooldown period. His own army of hundreds of thousands will storm the Fortress of Ruilin,

The last explosion was heard, and then quickly fell into silence

"Great! it's now," said Ramia in the distance, raising his horsewhip. I couldn't wait to shout excitedly, "The whole army presses and takes the Ruilin Fortress!"

"Woo ......"

The fat man raised his head with deep eyes, and listened to the trombone of Gangfei's all-out attack resounding through the sky. Sure enough, the Gang Fei Ren commander jumped into the trap very cooperatively, he waved his hand, and said calmly, "Order the shooter to prepare to shoot, 150 meters, hit him first, slow down the speed of advancement, and lure more troops in"

The second line of defense of Fort Reylin was activated, and the first thing that broke out was the crossbow fire on the fortress wall, and with the captain's terrible scream, rows of crossbow arrows with cold light were thrown from the fortress wall to the opposite sky, "Whoosh! Whoosh!" Dense points of light covered the color of the sky in an instant, like a torrential rain pouring down from the fortress wall,

"Pay attention to the rain of arrows, erect shields" The heavy infantry in the front row looked at the cluster of arrows whistling overhead, their faces turned white with fright, and they raised the heavy shield in their hands in unison, covering their bodies behind the shield, forming a huge tortoise shell in the front of the military formation, "popping" Countless white lines quickly fell from the air, although there were shields to block, the ranks of the Gauls were still as if swept by a huge iron anchor, the fierce collision sound, like waves crashing on the reef, splashed out of the blood of countless soldiers, the arrows inserted from the gap in the shields, often shot through the lower body of the heavy infantry, the consequences were also very strict, the fallen person could not die for a while, the part holding the arrow let out a tragic wail, "Whoosh! whoosh!" The second round of arrow clusters soon came, and the queue fell again, and a dozen queues of heavy infantry slowly advanced against the arrow clusters, and people continued to fall from arrows, and the road they walked was covered with corpses.

"Bow forward!

When the heavy infantry stepped into the 100-meter line in front of the fortress, Ramia ordered the 20,000-strong Gang Fei archers in his team to push up, and the flying arrow clusters continued to shuttle between the two sides, one after another with the arc of death, like locusts across the sky, shooting into the bodies of the soldiers on both sides, the Gang Fei infantry queue approached the city wall, and the huge siege tower slowly advanced under the crowd of soldiers, "Forward, take the Ruilin Fortress!" Ramia excitedly rode his horse forward, and he could feel that the resistance of the fortress was rapidly weakening, and the archers began to suppress the opponent's archers.

The infantry set up a human ladder under the fortress wall, the two armies collided cruelly on the fortress wall, countless bayonets stabbed forward at the same time, a miserable cry sounded in front of the formation, blood splashed, and in an instant it was like a red flower flying in the night on the fortress wall, both sides held a variety of melee heavy infantry, dogs and teeth were staggered, and the armor of the enemy on the opposite side was also dented into it, even if he was wearing heavy armor, it was difficult to avoid death in the chaos

The fat man, dressed in heavy armor, was escorted by several guards, and walked up the stairs of the inner city road of the fortress, standing at the top of the highest part of the fortress, he looked at the dense crowd below. The infantrymen who climbed the fortress wall like ants looked up at the sky again,

Before you know it, it's already evening. The afterglow of the sun was shining from another section of the earth mountain range, shining on the tragic battlefield in front of him, like a sharp sword cutting through light and darkness, dividing the earth into two, "Let's start!" The fat man said to the guard behind him with a cold face, "Yes, Your Majesty" A guard untied the infantry crossbow on his body and raised it towards the sky overhead, "Whoosh" A cluster of arrows flashing red light flew into the sky with a whistling sound that resounded through the battlefield, flying higher and higher, straight into the sky, "This seems to be the signal of the Khan King!"

The East Courtyard Wanfu Chang An Huer stood on the cliff wall on the side of the fortress, his head held high. Looking at a red line straight into the sky, he muttered to himself, behind him, fifteen thousand Dongting shooters half-squatted in the grass of the mountain, and there was a faint shout of fighting like a tide below,

No one noticed that the terrain of the entire New Ruilin Fortress is a huge U-shape, and the two wings of the wide mountain form a whole with the fortress, which is a typical funnel. The closer you get to the fortress, the more you undoubtedly fall to the bottom of the funnel, imperceptibly, on the slope of the funnel leading to the fortress. The Gangfei army has exceeded 80,000 people, and the other 50,000 people are still pouring into the bottom of this funnel, "Everyone enter the attack position!" An Huer withdrew his gaze from the direction of the red line, and smiled fiercely at the long-awaited Dongting shooter behind him, "Brothers, open to kill." Kill one, and the Khan will reward him with a gold coin, hoping that his clan and family will have a good life this winter. It depends on how many times your bowstring can be pulled!" "Haha!" The Dongting archers let out a burst of laughter, and the entire row of Dongting archers suddenly appeared on the mountain walls on both sides of the fortress where the two armies were fighting, and the grassland skilled archers on both sides added up to 30,000 people, neatly raising the powerful compound bow in their hands downward, "shooting"

With an order, tens of thousands of bowstrings of oxen built horns were loosened from the calloused fingers given to the steppe cavalry, and the bowstring bounced back to its original place from the half moon, still unabated and trembling afterimage, and the arrow clusters flew from the shooter's hands and feet like meteors to the sky overhead, like a gorgeous waterfall of streamers rising from the top of the mountain, roaring down, crossing a beautiful arc, and killing the valley

The Gang Fei people who had not yet noticed it only felt a strange sound suddenly coming from the top of their heads, and the dense queue was shot down in a row, and countless clusters of arrows shot down like locusts, and the densely crowded Gang Fei people at the front of the fortress seemed to step on a huge wind outlet at the same time, and countless white lines pierced into their flesh with a whistling, "Attention, there are ambushes on both sides!"

A Gangfei soldier looked at the flickering cruel metal flickering on both sides of the mountain, and before the mournful shout was fully shouted, it was shot into a bloody hole by countless arrow clusters from both sides, and in the eyes of Gangfei, the sunset that came at this moment was as bright red as blood, bringing a bloody hideousness,

The speed of fire of the grassland shooter is absolutely incomparable to that of the inland shooter, just a few breaths, it is already three splashes of arrows flying down, the first to suffer is the inhuman shooter, the grassland people seem to have the worst protection, and the only opponent who can threaten themselves, the bowstring is moving rapidly, and the uncountable arrow clusters are overwhelming with the bowstring, covering the original autumn yellow color of the hillside,

Like a waterfall of metal rain of death, the Gangfei infantry in this area seemed to be slammed by a large invisible hand, their bodies leaned back, and countless sharp wolf's teeth and arrows pierced their bodies from the oblique angle, and a wail, human blood stained the earth red, "Retreat!"

The infantry in front was completely disorganized, and retreated in a panic in the face of the cluster of arrows that flew like locusts, but nearly 100,000 people were crowded on a narrow terrain, and suddenly wanted to retreat, basically almost crowded together, in the face of the rapid fire of the steppe cavalry, the unprotected Gangfei soldiers fell in pieces of arrows, and their fallen corpses were piled up in the U-shaped area in front of the fortress, and many of the corpses were looking at the sky with stunned faces

Don't mess around, stand firm!

The Gang Fei officers loudly maintained their respective troops, the heavy shield infantry was pushed out, the soldiers quickly erected tall and heavy tower shields, and nailed their feet firmly to the ground, but Gang Fei people soon found that the left and right sides were flying arrow clusters, located at the angles of the two ends, the shield wall was useless, the arrow clusters continued to shoot in from the side of the body, the soldiers fell like swept leaves, the officers tried to maintain the formation, although one by one was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and one did not choose to retreat or flee.

Soon, however, the deaths of their comrades made it difficult for the troops to hold their steady, and the corpses of their companions piled up at their feet, and in front of the eyes of the Gangfei soldiers, the mountains were full of enemies with bows and arrows. The arrows were like a wave that could not show their wits, and under the continuous shooting of thunder, the soldiers could not withstand it at all, and it was impossible to even stabilize their footing, and they retreated step by step. One by one, they were shot dead, and the corpses fell on top of the corpses below, quickly piling up a layer

"Bastard!" Ramia, who was pressing the formation behind, was completely stupid by the sudden situation in front of him, the other party did not hesitate to risk introducing more than 100,000 people into the fortress area, just for the sake of the current killing blow, the other party is either a genius or a madman!

The soldiers scattered around under the random arrows, let the officers scream loudly, the scattered soldiers scurried like headless flies, everyone was running for their lives, the cruelty shattered the Ramian passion, victory, it turned out to be so far away, this is not war, this is a massacre, naked slaughter,

When the arrows stopped, the archers of the East Court, who were eager for wealth, found that there was nothing left to stand on as a target, so they finally gave up unwillingly.

The fat man stood at the top of the fortress, looking at the ground lying below that was full of corpses,

The white tail clusters of countless arrows, like a blank flower with no end in sight, fill the earth, trembling slightly in the wind,

In less than 1 hour, more than 60,000 Gangfei troops were ruthlessly annihilated, and the Gangfei army that broke away from the U-shaped area was also bleak, and evacuated to the rear in a panic, of course, the fat man would not let the other party escape from the palm of his hand so safely (to be continued......
