2000 Battle of Fame, White Steel
"Boom"
Thor's huge roar shook the snow in the woodland, and the snow fell loudly, just like white goose feathers and heavy snow falling in front of him, and the bombardier holding high the red flag waved his hand violently, "Release!" Dozens of Thor violently pushed and insulted the chest. Ropes of fire pulled, and tongues of fire erupted from each muzzle!
Clusters of debris rushed up into the sky, and the human body could be vaguely seen lifting up into the sky. Large expanses of snow were turned over by carpet explosions, scattered stones burst out,
"Forward, backward slash!"
The White Steel Legion of the Rela Kingdom, which suffered a sudden blow, although there was a brief panic at the beginning, soon showed an extremely excellent combat element, and in the face of dense falling artillery fire, the officers who were able to enter the strongest legion of the Rayla people were all officers with excellent combat experience and disposal ability.
They decisively suppressed the commotion, pushed the soldiers to charge in the direction of Thor's shooting, and the officer with a red strip of cloth on his head stood at the head of the advancing team, holding the command sword high in his hand, and led the whole team of soldiers forward without fear.
"White steel! white steel!"
The Rayla soldiers shouted feverishly and neatly, and the momentum was overwhelming, and rows of Rayla pikemen rose and fell forward, and behind them, there were more Rayla soldiers driving over in an endless stream,
The battlefield below was almost filled with Rayla soldiers! The neat shouts made the falling Thor cannonballs begin to look less terrifying,
At the front of each team, each Ryla officer wore a red strip of cloth on his helmet, standing out in a line of white glittering armor. Their bravery made the soldiers completely ignore the Thor artillery fire pouring down from the distant dirt slope, and the Rayla soldiers, wearing full armor, quickly formed waves of dense straggler lines, in fact, they could not be called skirmishers at all, but a phalanx-like line shoulder to shoulder!
The wind quickly blew away a layer of smoke from the distant Thor bullets, and when he could see the formation of the Rayla people on the opposite side clearly, Reposti, who was standing on the high place, put down the lookout scope in his hand. I gasped deeply, I ran into my opponent! The prediction just now was wrong, judging from the huge attack line spread out by the Rayla people, the elite army of the Rayla people from the distant camp was not 30,000 to 40,000 people, but definitely more than 50,000, and the three army lines exposed in the lookout scope in front were only used as the part of the front to open the road, and behind the three army lines, there were still about 20,000 troops to protect the heavy infantry group,
Now it's time to fight. These rear columns of Ryla infantry were also thrown into the charge by the enemy commanders,
Countless spears condensed with the cold dew of winter were like a big black carpet covering the entire battlefield in the lookout scope, and the smoke column fell from the ground, and there was an extra gap in the black carpet, but it was filled in a blink of an eye, and this black carpet was still surging forward at a uniform speed. Thor's cannonballs ploughed from the front to the back of the line, and red light clusters whistled and flew in all directions, exploding with each blow. and a mass of flesh and blood. "Forward, White Steel will never back down!" A delicately patterned Rayla command sword flew into the air with the explosion, spun around a few times and landed on the ground, still straight forward. The officers and soldiers fell together in the firelight, and someone stepped forward to fill the position, "Reload, quick!" The shellers on Thor's position all looked anxious. Barrels of snow splashed on the hot barrel of Thor's cannon, bursts of pungent water vapor, and it was the first time they had encountered such an opponent. The intensity of the Fifty Gates of Thor's bombardment was undoubtedly fierce, but the people of Rayla showed no signs of stagnation
Thor was placed on the positive slope of the hill of the ambush position, condescendingly, with a direct shooting distance of more than 500 meters. The soldiers of the White Steel Legion in the distance were completely in a passive situation, aiming directly at the artillery fire on the ground, and the condescending angle could exert the greatest power, and the shooting covered artillery fire presented a huge fan, and the Thor shells filled into the barrel of the cannon, and then spit out,
As the white smoke erupted downward in rows like a performance, columns of smoke could be seen, each in different postures, soaring into the sky. At first, the columns of smoke rose in rows almost at the same time, and then they were no longer distinguished. "Ahem!" the choking smell of white smoke filled the battlefield, slowly flowing. It was so choked that people couldn't breathe, and the equipment that was not just the northern legion was the old-fashioned Thunder God that was filled in from the general set, and at this kind of close range, it was no longer necessary to reset, and it was aimed straight at the black line below. Basically, you can fire directly at the dense impact fan of the Rayla people below!
Reposti put down the lookout glasses in his hand, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, the White Steel Legion is worthy of being the elite of the Rayla people, and the whole army has a fierce wildness, which proves that the commander of the other party is a very confident person, naturally he will not be stupid enough to think that there is no protective force near the Imperial Thor, but he still adopts such a crazy impact tactic, which is determined to be able to directly tear apart the blocking line of the Falcon Army according to the impact of saturation,
Ten minutes later, the forward line of the Rayla was approaching the wooden platoon set up below, so that there were three rows of sharp wooden platoons at the front, each twenty meters apart, and Rayla's infantry was destroying the first platoon, and some of them were in a hurry to climb over from above. I saw dozens of white lights flying out from the direction of the woodland from the front of the group of Rayla soldiers, and a piece of blood exploded directly on the impact point of "pounce", and the ballista arrows with metal tails directly ploughed a blood-colored path in the Rayla people, and more than a dozen Rayla soldiers were smashed into pieces, flesh and blood flew sideways, and the twisted and deformed shield rolled beside the corpse "Steady!"
In the sloping woods, the Imperial crossbowmen stared at the rows of Rayla soldiers advancing in front of the spikes of the wooden platoon below, and the crossbowmen captain next to them shouted "Shoot closer!"
Dozens of ballistas can play a very limited block, after the rapid launch of three wheels, the penetrating deterrent power of the crossbow arrows is also not working, "Forward, white steel!" Rayla's morale rose again, and the front was full of undulating Rayla shouts like waves, hundreds of imperial crossbowmen squatted in the woodland about a hundred meters behind the wooden row, the crossbow bows were flat, looking at the crowd crowded with large piles, the crossbowmen from the Imperial Central Army had a calm face, they were subordinates from Reposti, they had participated in many tragic battles, and they were a little surprised by the tenacity of the enemy in front of them, at most, they felt a little surprised,
The crossbowmen from the southwest and northwest regions showed a slight fluctuation, and the impact line of the Rayla people on the opposite side was not ordinarily ferocious, and these Rayla people were simply not afraid of death. Against the constantly rising black smoke of Thor, watching the whole team of people being dropped several times, Thor exploded in the crowd, almost as if it was erased from the ground, and the enemy behind was still steady and crazy, even if it was still a distance of hundreds of meters, the crossbowmen were also shocked by the enemy's momentum, the three rows of wooden rows were about sixty meters deep, and the people of Rayla cleaned two rows in a row with the ballista cart, and the last row was left behind, and the layers were all wooden stakes and wooden frames and earth and stone obstacles. It's not something that can be easily broken with human power. The rows of Rayla soldiers who swarmed here were stuck here, and the queue began to become chaotic, and the original uniform speed had slowed down. The woodland on the opposite side was still quiet, only Thor was still firing, and now it had turned to the wooden platoon area, and every time the "boom" exploded, it lifted the broken wood and flesh into the air together, and the last row of wooden rows finally pushed the Rayla people to the ground, crossbowmen. Shoot!" The aftermath of the command was still echoing, and suddenly a dense row of crossbow arrows flashed with cold light! The people of Rayla who were struggling in front of the obstacle were suddenly pushed flat by a large black scythe, and suddenly trembled and fell to the ground. The screams also rang out uncontrollably, horizontally and vertically. Everywhere there are people who have been planted headlong. "Forward, forward!" the Rayla also red-eyed, and as long as the officer did not fall, the command sword was always pointed forward. Give a loud order and let the soldiers rush out!
The bolts rained down again, and the Ryllians didn't stop. The rows were still pouring out of the area, and the formation was chaotic, but it was doubly dense. There was no queue to speak of, stepping on the corpses of their comrades in front, the officers shouted with unchanged faces, and the soldiers roared like wounded beasts, and began to charge without a queue, regardless of whether there were crossbow carts coming from the opposite side, so everyone rushed straight up with their heads covered, and the tens of thousands of elites of the White Steel Legion who served as the shock began with the attack. I didn't think about going back!
Under the flag base camp of the White Steel Legion, a middle-aged general wearing heavy armor was holding his head high, staring at the impact line in front of him, his short flaxen hair was erected upwards like stubble, the face outline exposed on the side of the helmet was resolute and bursting, the red general's cloak hung from the shoulders of the armor to the waist of the war horse, the face of this general Rayla still did not waver in the slightest, he was the Prince Gawin Howard who took over the White Steel Legion of the Marquis of Fit, the younger brother of the current King Rayla, a military commander known for his stubbornness and arrogance,
He watched as the dense flow of his subordinates struggled in the far-reaching wooden row area, and the dead were incalculable one by one. But there were many more that crossed panting, surging upwards in droves, and the last row of stakes formed a triangle, twisted together with thick metro wires, and the feet were inserted into the soil to fix. Slammed deep into the ground, the Rayla soldier gasped and rushed up to the ground. Finding that they could neither get around nor move away, they could only be pushed by manpower, and the impulse of the Rayla army was huge, and in the blink of an eye, a full crowd had gathered in front of this row of wooden stakes.
It was only fifty meters away from the woodland where the crossbowmen in front of them were, and even the soldiers of the White Steel Army in heavy armor began to fall in large numbers in front of the dense crossbow arrows, like small flying insects covered with spider webs, some white steel soldiers erected a shield wall, but in front of the heavy crossbow arrows that roared wildly, blood was constantly splashed among the people, and the screams were grounded.
"Shield wall, quick!" some officers ordered loudly, and some officers went crazy and slashed the connection points of these wooden stakes with their command swords, and the soldiers were also smashing with their heavy flails in their hands, except for seeing the wooden stakes being beaten to a shaky degree, which had no effect at all, and some officers simply took the soldiers, threw away their weapons and shields, and slashed in the frozen hard soil with their hands, as if they wanted to dig directly into the ground to pull up the stakes, and the more people gathered, the more they gathered, it almost became a human wall. The bolts poured from the heights flew by, and there was no time to miss,
Thor had stopped attacking, and the heavy ballista that had just looked like a heavy ballista was now a big killing weapon, the bowstring was constantly pulled, and dozens of cold rays of light were like the scythes of the god of death, harvesting towards the enemy infantry that could not be denser than dense, in such a range, even the heavy armor and shield were as fragile as paper! The blood mist was no longer splashed in clusters, but in clusters, as if gushing. Fragments of the target's human body that had been hit by the half-moon-shaped front end flew in all directions, and flesh alleys were ploughed out of the crowd. A large amount of blood gushed out almost at the same time, and the snow on the ground was melted, and even the ability to absorb blood was lost, and the red liquid flowed like a stream from the adobe!
"The other party can't stand it anymore, order the fifth and seventh infantry regiments to press with all their might! We must destroy the other party's Thor!" Prince Gavinhowar's face was stern and ordered to the herald cavalry behind him, this time he participated in the general battle against the northern part of the Falcon Empire as a royal family, which greatly boosted the morale of the people of Rayla on the front line. For His Royal Highness the Prince with a special status, Fett naturally took great care of him, handed over the most elite White Steel Legion under his command to him, and also sent several generals who were familiar with the battle to assist, behind this middle-aged general, several legion generals looked at each other after hearing the order,
One of the generals stubbornly said, "Your Highness, the Falcon Imperial Army has always been good at defense, and when the situation is unknown. I hurriedly put the main force of the legion into it, but I am afraid that something is inappropriate, is it clear that the situation will be clear, and then put the two main infantry regiments into it!!"
"Stupid!"
Prince Gawin Howard waved his horsewhip with a displeased face, and said in an unceremonious tone, "Since the main force of the Falcon Imperial Army is attacking the Fifth Legion, the enemy in front of us is just a small force responsible for containing reinforcements. It is the sharpest breakthrough spear in the entire coalition army, with the 50,000 elites of our White Steel Legion, they chose to retreat in the first battle, where will the face of my Rayla Kingdom be put in the future! The other countries in the coalition army will also laugh at us!" The general's face was embarrassed when he was scolded. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness, there are more than a plurality of Thor on the other side, as well as heavy ballistae that only have a large army, and a large number of crossbowmen. Judging by this, the Falcon Army on the opposite side was by no means a small force, and the other side arranged three rows of wooden platoons in advance. Obviously, there was a plan for a long time, and the concentrated shooting in the wooden platoon inflicted great casualties on our legionnaires, and also forced us to completely lose control of the formation...... Your Highness. Our army has already suffered heavy casualties...... "Shut up!" Prince Gawin Howard looked at him with cold eyes, raised his horsewhip and pointed to the opposite side, and said sharply
"As long as you break through the enemy's block in front of you and take down the enemy's Thor, our army can encircle the main force of the Falcon Imperial Army that is attacking the Fifth Legion from the side, so whether the other party is a large army or not, for our army, it is an enemy that must break through, rather than procrastinating, it is better to give it a go, don't you feel it, although our army has suffered a lot of losses, but the momentum is like a rainbow, and it has been pressed up, in such a dense attack line, the opponent's crossbow Thor can no longer be suppressed, and only need to advance another fifty meters, and the other party will collapse!”
The battle has lasted for an hour, and the battle losses of the White Steel Legion on the opposite side are at least more than 10,000, if the morale was like a rainbow before, after the heavy casualties of several consecutive blocking lines, the morale of the other party has also reached the time when the oil well lights are dry, and the last blocking line is consuming the last bit of fighting spirit of the Rayla people, and the other party can no longer support it, even if they are already within reach of victory.
"It's over!" Reposti looked tired and withdrew his gaze from the flesh and blood strangulation line dozens of meters away, the front end of the Rayla people finally collapsed after being overwhelmed by casualties, and a large number of soldiers began to turn to flee, even the officers couldn't suppress it, these fifty meters became the death line of the Rayla people! Dozens of heavy ballistae with great power and deterrence were shot at a range of tens of meters visible to the naked eye, and even the most brave soldiers would lose the courage to charge after being hindered again, and they saw the corpses that fell in front of the stake stacked layer by layer, and the officers and soldiers of the Rayla people were slaughtered in this way. With the powerful impact of the heavy ballista, the soldiers of the Ruibai Steel Army in the front row of the wooden stakes were almost beaten into a pile of rotten flesh and stumps! From east to west, less than 100 meters of frontage, the corpses of the Ruila people who died in various postures were already covered.
The Rayla people in the back were still moving forward with inertia, and were ploughed over by a dense number of crossbow arrows. In a short period of time, it almost pierced the thick shock queue of the Rayla people, and the flesh and steel were mixed together! The pure white white steel armor was already soaked in red blood water, and the hot human blood flowed out of the corpse, melting the snow on the ground, turning into a trickle, and the entire hillside was like a blood-red waterfall.
"Your Highness, the 2nd Infantry Regiment has collapsed!"
"Your Highness, Lord Joshua, the commander of the Third Infantry Regiment, requests to withdraw!"
In the place where the flag of the White Steel Army is located, the herald cavalry who came and went brought bad news, Prince Gawen Howard, who was full of confidence just now, had a face like ashes, and the surrounding royal escort cavalry, the generals were pale, looking at this slaughter-like battlefield. A royal guard who had come in by virtue of a relationship was holding on to the tree next to him, almost throwing up.
"The whole army retreats to rest!" Prince Gavin Howard swept his eyes over the entire dead line piled up with Rayla's soldiers, gritted his teeth and gave an order, he also saw that the White Steel Legion was completely defeated in front of this dead line, and the soldiers had a hesitant look on their faces, if the other party launched a counterattack at this time, then the entire legion would completely collapse and become a rout army that could not be controlled at all, it would be really a shame and a big shame! (To be continued......
