The night is gradually darkening, the afterglow of the sky seems to be nostalgic for the land covered with snow, which can not be dissipated for a long time, obliquely shining on the bare dry hard land, the endless earth rises in the distance towards the north, reflected in a faint gold, the wilderness after the sun sets, snowflakes float, the night falls low, the night wind blows violently, rolling up the thick snow flakes on the ground, the sky and the earth are vast, it is completely impossible to see the road ahead, and the temperature has dropped to the lowest,

A troop marched hard through the snow,

"How far is Biye Valley!" Algernon Katya reined in his horse in the wind and snow, wrapped his hand in chain mail, and patted the snow flakes on the shoulders of his armor heavily, and the night wind blew his face painfully,

"Beyond the hillside in front, five miles further north is the Biye Valley, where the Duke has already led an army of 20,000 bangors and is waiting for you!" replied in a loud voice to the henchman sent by Francis, holding out the cold wind blowing in his face,

The night wind is howling, and if you don't shout with all your might, it's basically difficult to hear clearly, "The whole army stops!" Algernonkatya didn't give the order to speed up, but a hint of caution flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand, and the marching queue stopped in the night, "Lord Commander-in-General, who are you?" The Bangor guide who led the way turned back at a loss, "It's nothing, our army has been running for three days, and the soldiers are already very tired, before the big battle, let them rest and recuperate!" Alex, you immediately lead a team of scouts to the front to see what is going on!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" the attendant nodded, and galloped away with a few horsemen, and disappeared into the night

"Your Excellency the Consul, my Duke has completely good intentions, and there is no need for such a ...... The guide's face was flushed with embarrassment, what kind of army rested, it was simply a distrust of the duke

Algernonkatya looked ahead with a grim face. didn't mean to explain to him at all, compared with the lives of tens of thousands of troops, the so-called face is really not worth considering, and the other party is still a small country like Bangor,

Soon, the attendant officer brought back the news from the front, "The subordinate is in a forest in front, and sure enough, he found Francis, the lord of Bangor, who sent troops according to the agreement, and nothing unusual was found outside!" Knowing that when he entered a kilometer away from Biye Valley, he began to see the shadow of the opposing patrol, and in order to avoid startling the snake, his subordinates could only choose to withdraw first."

"God help me!"

Hearing the officer's return, Algernon Kraft raised his head and looked at the snow falling in the sky, a relieved look on his face for the first time

I thought it would be very wolf bèi's retreat to the southwest, but no one expected that the peak would turn around. The Bangor region, located on the side of O'Acha, suddenly and secretly fell to its side because of an old grudge with the Falcon Army, although it was a detour from Bangor. It was farther than crossing directly from Denia and the Rosend, but the Bangor region was more conducive to raid battles, and because of the famine and cold, there were hardly any people to be seen on the roads of Bangor. Even the villages along the way, many of them are empty,

In this case. For the secret march of the army is extremely beneficial, five days ago, the southwest army was divided into two, one part continued to put on a fanfare retreat posture to confuse the falcon army, while the two outer parts secretly entered Bangor, after 7 days of travel, the 60,000 southwest army that endured cold and hunger, difficult to approach the direction of Biye Valley, and Bangor, at the same time, also sent an army of 20,000 people to assist the southwest army, as the sworn enemy of the falcon army, Duke Francis was very eager,

On the night of December 23, the snow was falling heavily

The 80,000 men of the combined army of the southwest and Bangor approached the Wild Valley, the logistics center of the Falcon Army, in the snowflakes flying in the sky, and almost before they had completely entered the distance of 500 meters, Duke Francis, who was on the flank, had already excitedly given the order for a general attack.

"Attack, kill the Vecchia falconer bounty of 10,000 coins, make the baron!" all kinds of slogans to motivate the soldiers, sounded in the dark night, and the Bangor soldiers shouted slogans scatteredly, rushing out of the wind and snow all over the mountains,

On the other side, Algernon Katya, who was trying to reduce his voice, almost fell off his horse in anger, not afraid of god-like opponents, afraid of pig-like teammates, this time the participants were infantry, and they charged from a distance of 500 meters, is this Francis a pig?

500 meters, even if it is a full sprint, it will take a few minutes, and by the time you run to the side out of breath, you will just hit the fierce counterattack of the opposing defenders, and the enemy will already set up a defensive line and wait for it

"Lord Commander-in-Chief, what should we do now?" Looking at the Bangor Army that rushed up from the flank, the Southwest Army was also stunned, without the order from above, the army did not dare to charge, but the Bangor Army rushed up, can they still hide on their side?

"Order the whole army to charge! I hope the Vekia Falcon hasn't been scared away!" Algernonkatya gritted his teeth and drew his sword, tens of thousands of Southwestern Army followed closely behind the scattered Bangor Army, like layers of waves pressing towards the slope of Biye Valley, countless spears flashing with cold light, appearing in hundreds of hazy snowflakes, surging towards the tide

"I didn't expect that I was only worth 10,000 gold coins, which is really cheap!" On the opposite slope where the combined army launched an attack, hearing a shout from afar, the corner of the fat man's mouth showed a helpless wry smile, the news of the Southwest Army's attack tonight has long been in the hands of the fat man, to be precise, since the moment the Southwest Army entered Bangor, the fat man has been waiting here for the moment when the prey falls into the trap, "Arrow car preparation!"

The fat man raised his hand with a cold face, looking at the enemies swarming in front of him without the slightest fluctuation,

As his hand was raised, a faint sound of wheel axles turning sounded from behind him, and a whole hundred arrow carts, driven by more than two thousand falcon soldiers, slowly revealed their hideous faces from the dark night.

These arrow carts were modified after the conquest of Roude, based on the arrows captured in the war.

After the transformation of the Falcon Imperial Research Institute, the original honeycomb loading arrow cart was divided, and the arrow cart currently equipped with the Falcon Army is divided into two types: double bow and arrow cart and triple bow cart, the head of the three-bow arrow cart is very large, and it is generally only equipped on the warships of the Imperial Navy, with a stable bracket, and the range can exceed five hundred steps for the first time, and the terrible penetration and lethality can penetrate the deck of the enemy's warship, which is close to the strength of an ordinary ballista

, while the two-arrow cart equipped with the army has a shorter range. There are only two crossbows fired in a row, but they are moderately sized and can be pulled away at will by a carriage, and they have the mobility to cooperate with the army.

"Load the preset target. A hundred meters in front of the projectile"

Only a shout was heard, and the operators of a hundred bow carts were busy with a hurry. Shaking the winch that pulls the bowstring with a loud cry,

The two crossbow bowstrings on the cart made a tooth-aching creak as the winch was pulled, and finally buckled firmly on the tooth machine behind it. The crossbowman held a heavy crossbow bolt made of pig iron and quickly put it into the arrow trough,

Each ballista can be loaded with five iron arrows about one meter long at a time, the largest of which is as thick as a filial arm, and the top is a half-moon-shaped sharp knife, even if a heavy cavalry is shot, a large hole will be broken out of it, not to mention ordinary infantry, and the four arrows next to it are thinner, so that they can scatter freely and irregularly. Therefore, the tail feathers are not set when casting with a mold, and the swarthy pig iron shines with a chilling light in the cold night.

Generally speaking. Heavily armored infantry are not afraid of bows and arrows, and even if they are shot, if they are not shot in important parts, they are only wounded, but if they are shot by such powerful weapons, they have basically no chance of survival. "Rush forward and capture the Vekia Falcon alive!" the Bangor soldiers who were charging did not know that one of their feet had stepped into the Ghost Gate, and the slope of the torches dangling in the darkness in the distance looked like glittering gold in front of them. The slow reaction of the Falcon Army made the soldiers of the Southwest Army who followed behind also begin to get excited, and the dense crowd of people, like ants climbing on a sugar cube, "Shoot!"

Suddenly, a sharp command sounded in the darkness, the sound of crossbows and bows was like a torrential rain, and the salvo of a hundred arrow carts was like a sharp blade of the void in the cold night. Countless clusters of arrows shot down from the slope, from the front of the dense Bangor soldiers, "Ah" The Bangor soldiers who were shouting just now fell one after another in the rain of arrows, a tragic scene. The dense soldiers, as if hitting an invisible wall, let out a terrible scream, and the corpses rolled down in unison and dragged a few meters down. The Falcon Army has fought back!"

The screams came to an abrupt end in the darkness of the night, and the Bangor officer's body was shot through his horse in a terrifying crash. Flew out heavily for several meters before falling, smashing on the snowdrift below, the bright red human blood stained the snow red in an instant, and the situation of the "poof" soldiers was even more unbearable, the Bangor soldiers in front were mostly light infantry, only to see a white cold light in the crowd, making a sound similar to the flesh breaking, from the body of the arrow soldier to the past, in the rear a bloody blood stain, and then shot heavily into the body of another soldier, like a string of blood gourds inserted into the snow,

"Puff puff" The sound of blood exploding from the body, the shredded flesh splattered, and it was dark in the night. Countless points of blood bloomed in front of the slope 50 meters, accompanied by the crisp sound of broken muscles and bones, the screams of the deceased before death, in the dark night to hear the creepy people, countless giant crossbows swept like a violent wind, sweeping one after another enemies into the air with a huge impact, the crossbow arrows were as thick as children's arms, and once the heavy arrows made of fine iron were shot, the target was immediately smashed to pieces.

That's good, they died a good death compared to their comrades who were swept off by arrows. Because the crossbow arrow has no tail feathers, once it is shot out, affected by the wind and its own mass, there is no fixed ballistic trajectory at all.

After shooting through the target, many crossbow arrows without tail fins circled in the air from the projection position, like high-speed spinning tops, swept into the crowd behind, breaking the bones of one soldier after another, and the blood rained everywhere, and before they could shout for help, they were trampled to death by their companions who were scattered in front of them. "Damn!" some timid Bangor soldiers were stunned by the sight in front of them, and the soldiers in front of them flipped over in a row, poofing" The sound of sharp weapons piercing into their bodies was suffocating and terrifying in the dark night when they couldn't see the specific situation.

Behind the arrow cart is the traditional project of the Falcon Army, crossbow arrows, and countless oncoming white threads and shadows pass through the direction in an instant. Before these Bangor soldiers could reach the ground, they were already shot by countless clusters of arrows, and the bright red blood fell like a rain of blood falling from the sky, staining the ground covered in white ice mist red

"Retreat, retreat everyone!"

The mournful shouts of the front-line officers in Bangor. The Combine's offensive was a mess, the front collapsed like a landslide, countless clusters of arrows shot in from behind the Bangors who turned and fled, corpses fell one by one, everyone hated themselves for missing two legs,

"It's really not enough to succeed and more to lose!"

Algernonkatya rode on his horse, his eyes looked angrily ahead, his teeth itched with hatred, and the 20,000-strong Bangor army had just broken up after fighting. Although the front suffered heavy losses, the number of casualties was definitely less than five thousand, and the large army behind still rushed up, and was scattered by the rout army that retreated from the front.

Behind the Bangor Army was the Southwest Army, and compared to the rabble of Bangors, the Southwest Army still maintained a strict queue, and many fell in front of the oncoming arrow curtain. But the infantry behind still moved forward without fear,

Numerous heavy crossbows crashed into the army of the Southwest. Suddenly like a hammer that slammed into the flour pile, in the air, countless blood rain accompanied by stumps flew into the air, bloody wind and bloody rain, the strong smell of blood hit the face, the southwest infantry who fell behind the face of the broken meat, some soldiers fell, the soldiers in the back row will consciously make up for the front

"The Su zhì of the regular army of the empire is still good! Since we have put on a decisive attitude, we have only one way to face the battle!" The fat man took this scene into his eyes, and he had to praise it. Loudly ordered Besukaya next to him, "Let the herald blow the battle trumpet!" "Woo" A fierce trumpet sounded through the night sky, and the falcon soldier clenched his spear tightly, and his breathing became fierce and rapid. The face was stern and cold, and the huge siege shield was propped up. The steel shield shone in the dark night, and behind it was a neat forest of guns pressed by the black, and the sharp one-foot-long blade exuded a terrifying murderous aura. A sharp spear made of stainless steel. From afar, it looks like a long river of silver

"It's!"

Algernonkatya's bloodshot pupils suddenly dilated, looking at the infantry ranks that suddenly appeared on the top of the opposite hills, looking at the countless black eagle flags fluttering in the wind, the Southwest Commander-in-Chief who felt that he saw the hope of victory, suddenly felt a sudden palpitation, he faintly had an ominous premonition, this was completely by virtue of the feeling beyond ordinary people, at this moment, the opposite military formation suddenly changed, and a group of archers wearing red armor suddenly appeared from the opposite military formation

"Shoot!"

A thousand extremely taut bowstrings made a muffled sound that tore through the air, and the special long arrows that burst out of the way sharpened the rotating air flow of the Dao Dao, crashing into the formation of the southwest infantry charge, and the sound of a split cloth sounded, which was the sound of the arrows tearing through the air strongly

"Ahh A soldier of the Southwest Army was hit by a cluster of arrows head-on his helmet, the powerful impact force directly shattered his sturdy helmet, penetrated from the forehead, the whole head was blown into pieces by a strong force, the corpse rolled out more than ten meters, a thousand thumb-thick longbows and arrows like a big net, the heavy infantry of the Southwest Army who rushed to the front was torn into pieces, often an arrow pierced the body of a heavy infantryman, and the remaining strength was inserted into another heavy infantry, the soldiers in the front rows were almost all covered with arrows, and the solemn Southwest Army column was like a dam that was knocked open, and people fell down in a line, and at least more than 1,000 corpses were dropped in a short distance of two hundred meters,

"Infantry formation!"

In the dark night, the voices of the commanders of the flags sounded, and as the order was given, 12,000 Falcon Southern heavy infantry with spears in their hands stood neatly on the front line from behind the slope, and the giant shield spear, like a long wall of spikes, suddenly erected in the cold night,

"Spear!" the voices of the officers stretched out their commands came and went in the dark night,

The soldiers of the first row crouched down and rested the five-meter-long spear shaft on the ground, pointing the spear point forward, and the second row of spearmen rested the spear shaft on the shoulders of the first row of soldiers, and the third row of soldiers also rested the spear shaft on the shoulders of the second row of soldiers. Three neat rows of spears pointed diagonally ahead, the dense tips of the spears glittering with the terrifying edge of metal in the cold night.

Guns are like a forest. The phalanx is like a mountain!

In the dark night, revealing the hideous killing machine that he should have, the compact array is like the most solid barrier, as the rushing southwest army gets closer and closer, the spears fall, holding their breath, just waiting for the "stab" command, thousands of spears in the first row will be stabbed out at the same time,

"Kill!" The two armies finally collided brutally, countless bayonets stabbed forward at the same time, and a miserable cry sounded in front of the formation, blood splashed, and the snow was bright in the array of guns, and the blood was like snowflakes flying in the night in an instant, exploding in front of the slope,

"Kill, kill, kill!" After the spear stab, all kinds of melee heavy weapons flew in the air, denting the armor of the enemy on the opposite side, and even wearing heavy armor, the defense line formed by the falcon infantry shook significantly

"Kill, advance, capture the Vekia Falcon alive!" In all kinds of shouts, the charging momentum of the 60,000 Southwest Army was already deeply embedded like an arrow, and the impact was like a heavy wave, hitting the cliff wall composed of 12,000 Falcon hoplites.

The waves scattered, the sharp spears in the hands of the hoplites stretched out neatly from the middle of the defensive belt composed of shields, blood splashed, and the heavy spears were like dense thorns, deeply penetrating into the body of the infantry of the Southwest Army.

The fat man looked at this scene coldly, he was waiting,

Because of the limited troops, he can only take this kind of defensive battle launched by using the terrain, of course, he can use Thor to bombard the Southwest Army below,

But if this is done, it is entirely possible that the Southwest Army will quickly withdraw from Biye Valley without fighting.

Once this opportunity is missed, it will be very difficult to seize the main force of the Southwest Army.

The only way is to use himself as bait and use the 25,000 Falcon Army to engage in a battle with the superior enemy that can give the other side hope of victory, so that Algernonkatya will be dragged to death

The victory of this battle depends on whether the Southwest Army is still in Biye Valley at dawn.

When the sky is bright, even if the other party wants to escape, there will be no escape!

Looking at the soldiers shouting on the battle line, the fat man's fists were clenched together, and from the very beginning, he knew that this battle would be beyond the unusually tragic,

And the fact is that the situation on the battlefield began to enter a tragic stalemate, even in the dark night, the two sides fought on the crossed fronts, like two giant dragons tumbling together,

Sword shadow sword light. Flesh and blood flying, whether it is the Falcons in heavy armor or the Southwest Army, the two sides are completely a hand-to-hand battle with bayonets.

With the heavy armor and terrain advantages on their bodies, the Falcon hoplites were like stubborn rocks under the impact of the tide, and did not take a step back.

The battle line is like a huge maelstrom of melee. This maelstrom is constantly rolling, producing a great deal of blood and sacrifice (to be continued......
