The storm drifted like a wild horse from the edge of the earth, and the black clouds rolled over, carrying a waterfall of rain that turned the hard wilderness ground into a difficult mud,

"Boom" thunder roared, and the chaotic silver lightning constantly pierced the sky overhead, illuminating the neat Gallic Imperial army formation in front of the city of Rwanacre, and the shining electric light instantly illuminated the faces of the soldiers of the Southwest Army.

The 100,000 army is divided into 30 phalanxes, each square array is 3,000 people, and finally forms a hierarchical defensive line, the Gallic soldiers are mainly infantry, mixed with a small number of cavalry, and the southwest army as a front-line force fighting with the southern Gangfei, the number of cavalry is more than other regions, 100,000 troops, there are about 30,000 cavalry, mainly arranged on the flanks of the main formation, which can make up for the weakness of the phalanx is inconvenient to turn

These cavalry helmets fluttered with white tassels up to half a meter, the thick armor was washed in the rain, the upper body was a whole piece of forged plate armor, the lower part itself was an iron armor with joint protection, the left hand was a tower shield for protection, and the right hand held a cavalry spear with a handle up to five meters, the sharp tip of the spear was facing upward, and from a distance, it looked like a dense forest with a flickering metal cold light.

Tight arrays, forming rows of steel walls on the wasteland outside the city, military flags fluttering in the wind and rain, making a crackling sound, cold raindrops hitting the faces of the cavalry and infantry, flowing down the cold armor to the ground,

Although the weather was very cold, no one complained that the iron armor on their bodies was too heavy, or left to take shelter from the rain without authorization, from morning to noon, the queue of the strict formation was not chaotic at all, which shows that the Southwest Army is not a rabble,

In the decades of confrontation with the Congo Empire, the Southwest Army fought hundreds of battles, large and small, with a total of more than 400,000 casualties. But the Southwest Army is still like a barrier, standing in the southwest of the empire, blocking the fierce Gangfei Empire from the gate of the empire, and can be described as one of the most durable troops in the imperial border guards, so that within the Gallic Empire, the Southwest Army has the title of "Iron Legion".

The long and passionate sound of military trumpets resounded in the sky, and the regular troops of the Gallic Empire, wearing the armor of the Gallic Empire, shouted the slogan "Attack!" and began to lean against the city wall in parallel with the slogan. Behind them, there were large siege engines that had just been built,

Huge arrow clusters and three layers of height, like a giant beast emerging from the rain and mist, beneath the siege carts, was the line of attack of the phalanx infantry, because of the lack of wood, the Southwestern Army had to run miles away to cut wood, and the previous attacks. Before the siege vehicle could get close to the city wall, it was smashed by the trebuchets on the city wall, like a huge pile of stones paralyzed on the road.

The pace of these soldiers was as slow as the siege towers. Although they wore heavy armor and held tower shields, their whole bodies were extremely well protected and well-trained. Not flustered, but the look on his face was not relaxed at all,

A rain of arrows rained down from the distant walls. A dozen soldiers fell to the ground with arrows, but the others continued to advance,

100 meters in front of them, a wide moat lay there, like a giant beast opening its hideous bloody mouth, even in the heavy rain, the air was filled with a foul pungent smell,

This is what makes the soldiers of the Southwest Army distressed

Even the front-line officers with the most extensive combat experience did not know the use of such a wide moat, and it was just to increase the difficulty of attacking the city and building bridges? However, it was a pity that the commanders of the Southwestern Army found that they still underestimated the enemy, and it was this river that blocked the footsteps of the 100,000-strong army for four days

A few days ago, when the most elite siege troops, braving the rain of arrows on the city walls, desperately built wooden bridges with wooden planks on the moat, allowing thousands of soldiers to rush across the river, suddenly a fierce burst of fire swept the entire moat like a raptor,

More than 100,000 pairs of eyes witnessed the terrible scene, all the soldiers on the bridge were lit like candles by the flames, like a fire man scurrying around, even if he jumped into the river, it was useless, the flames burned on the surface of the river, all kinds of terrible screams, and even made the two warring sides stop fighting

The first attack was frustrated, and the Southwest Army adjusted its tactics and immediately launched a second offensive

Covered by more than 10,000 heavy infantry, 15,000 archers threw rockets at the city in sequence, hoping to directly burn the entire city, but just approached a distance of 150 meters, they were suddenly attacked by mysterious weapons on the city wall, hundreds of huge metal forged arrow clusters, just like the legendary giant's sun-shooting arrow cluster shot by pulling the bow of the sky, poured into the ranks of archers.

Even if there is a shield wall of heavy infantry in front of it, the powerful giant arrow directly penetrates the heavy infantry and the archers behind it, and the flesh and blood that is squeezed and exploded is like being dragged out of a long red road, the scene is extremely tragic, although the loss of the archers is not large, it is only more than a hundred people, but no matter how the officer scolds, he does not dare to take a step forward at all, and the angry Algernon Katya scolded the archers for being "cowards"

Today, the weather has finally changed favorably, the rain is pouring down, the wide moat that has been burning for several days finally no longer bursts out of flames, and among the surging water, you can see a lot of black things rising and falling with the waves, and some of the southwestern soldiers who saw the situation clearly turned pale, their legs and feet were weak, and they vomited. Some people can't even help but vomit, it's corpses, countless corpses that have been burned by the fire, because they are completely dehydrated or carbonized, a person of one meter eight is now less than one meter at most, completely curled up like shrimp, black, it is simply the color of death

"Forward, retreat to the latter and run away!"

The sound of the officer's urging came from behind, the distant city wall was slightly white in the pouring rain, the bloodstained battlements looked particularly miserable in the rain, and the scattered city walls were covered with traces of trebuchet bullets.

In the flying white raindrops, the figure of the opponent's tenacious shooter appeared and disappeared from time to time at the collapsed battlements.

After several days of fighting, the trebuchets of the Southwestern Army gradually gained the upper hand, and although they could not cross the moat, the continuous impact of the trebuchets from outside the city also caused a small part of the walls of Rwanaca to collapse.

"Miri, do you think the Falcon Army will really bite Rwanacre?"

In the distance, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Southwest Army, who was looking at the siege troops, put his hands behind his back, his eyes showed a trace of solemnity, next to Marcas, was a middle-aged general with flaxen hair, and a large drop of rain flowed down the lines of the shiny chain mail on his body, "From the current point of view, it should be so!" The middle-aged general known as Mi Li smiled at the corner of his mouth. The other party may still be very proud, with 10,000 troops against 100,000 elites, it is a great thing, but unfortunately he has no idea that the Commander-in-Chief has actually laid a net here, using the enemy himself as bait to hook the entire Falcon Army! Now we just need to wait for the prey to enter the net!" (To be continued......
