In the dark night, looking at the town below from the high Baluta Fortress, it was full of bonfires lit by the coalition forces, like a river of stars around the foot of the fortress mountain, illuminating almost half of the outer wall.

The coalition soldiers lit a fire in the city, cooked food, the wounded soldiers were carried into the houses in the city first, and the fierce battle lasted all day, everyone was exhausted, and the two armies fell into a rare period of peace, Baruta is a military fortress, and the scale of the town derived from it is not large, it is the size of a medium-sized town, the population is about 5,000 people on weekdays, and there are about 50,000 coalition troops entering the city, and there is no way to accommodate so many people, and the low-status soldiers are mainly distributed on the streets, and only officers with status can be assigned to a residence to rest,

In order to prevent a sneak attack, the coalition army sent 20,000 people to block the mountain road leading to the fortress, "The first battle has taken the opponent's outer wall, although there are losses, but for the coalition army, it is still a good thing to stir up the morale of the army, this is the result of the army's hard work," the coalition commander-in-chief Leo Portty held a celebration banquet in the evening, which was unanimously agreed by the generals

"The Falcon Imperial Army is nothing more than that" "yes, I thought it was so powerful, it wasn't a cluster of defeats"

"It doesn't seem that the Falcon Army is too weak, but that we are too strong!"

At the celebration banquet to celebrate the success of the first battle, the generals held wine glasses and shouted loudly for victory, and some people shouted, "Raise a glass, let us take Baruta tomorrow! Then go to Putao, let the Northern Falcon Empire go back! Let our record become the most dazzling stroke in the history of Central European Baro!"

"To hell with the Falcon Empire, let's have another one tomorrow and the other side will collapse" Everyone expressed their optimism about the battle situation, raising their glasses in the building where the banquet was held, this was originally the house of the richest man in the town, although it could not be compared with the wealthy families in the big city, but it was better than nothing.

It's just that the food is a bit monotonous, and the situation in the city has long been gone, and the coalition forces occupying the city have combed through all the houses, and there is nothing! Even if there was before, before the Falcon Army gave up the outer wall, it had been removed, but fortunately, the generals were all people who were used to eating and sleeping in the open, and they didn't care about the food requirements, but there must be wine! "Long live, victory!"

"Can it really be so light?" said Marquis Rolla of Elila's kingdom as he put down his wine glass with a solemn face. There was a flash of worry in his eyes

"Yes, that's it!" Chief Dispatcher Leopold looked at this qiē with slightly narrowed eyes, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he felt a little satisfied, the Falcon Empire's strong combat strength is known to the entire Central European Barrow, Leopold was still worried that the armies would blame each other because of this, but now that it is good, the fear that the coalition generals originally had in the Falcon Army has also been swept away because of this battle. With such a mentality, when the coalition forces attack the Baluta Fortress, which only has one mountain road to pass through, tomorrow will they really move forward and fight a tough battle. The first thing is the fighting spirit!"

The next morning, when the sun shone across the sky, the red sun in the east began to shine on the town below Baruta, "Your Excellency. The enemy is gathering!"

Salton was woken up by his own lieutenant, who had been on the city wall all night and heard the adjutant's words. He immediately stood up, and immediately heard the sound of heavy, slow footsteps of "Sha, Sha!" in his ears.

The ground seems to be shaking a little. Following the direction of the adjutant's finger, his gaze looked at the entrance of the mountain road, and saw the coalition troops occupying the city below in formation, one after another waving flags in the wind, like red clouds flying over the forest, "It's really eager!" Toldon clenched his fingers together, and his eyes looked sharply at the wriggling black outline of the mountain road of the fortress, "My lord, it seems that the coalition forces want to repeat their old tricks, consume us first like yesterday, and press on the weak point!" he heard the adjutant next to him whisper

"Prepare the whole army!"

Salton raised his hand, and the fortress was built high on the top of the mountain, completely overlooking the entire mountain road, like a giant Z-shape

At the forefront of the line is a heavy infantry phalanx of the coalition army, wearing heavy armor, slowly crossing the blood-red morning light on the mountain road, behind this heavy infantry regiment, one team after another drove up in order, one after another huge phalanx tightly and orderly on the mountain road, like a long snake beast winding up,

"Good boy, how many people are there!"

The Falcon soldiers on the fortress all held their breath, there were no slogans, no sounds, but everyone's ears seemed to be ringing out of footsteps one after another. The slinger on the fortress tower began to pull the winch, the crossbowman leveled the infantry crossbow in his hand, the mountain road is where the real defense line of the Baluta fortress lies, from the Baluta fortress can cover the mountain road below, the soldiers are silently watching, the rhythmic rustling footsteps one after another, the silence is chilling, and the heaven and earth seem to only be left with the mournful horn in the direction of the town below. "Steady!, don't rush"

On the catapult, the captain looked at the soldiers with axes in their hands and cut the ropes at the next order, and shouted loudly, "Forward!"

The momentum of the coalition forces on the mountain road was like a rainbow, the advancing queue trampled the branches and shrubs along the way, the hazy dust and mist covered the sky, and tens of thousands of heavy infantry held their shields in unison, expelling a huge phalanx, and the bright rising red sun shone brightly on the armor of the coalition army.

The heavy infantry clenched their spears tightly, breathing violently. The face looked both stern and cold. "300 meters, my lord!" the adjutant cautiously reminded Salton, who had not yet given the order, "250 meters......" The adjutant's face was a little nervous, and the hearts of the crossbowmen on the battlements of the fortress were beating fiercely, no matter who faced the enemy like a sea, they all felt the strength of the other party from the bottom of their hearts, and involuntarily felt weak, not to mention the morale of the coalition army that broke through the city wall yesterday, and unabashedly put all their strength out, and the ranks were like the wings of a giant bird, and they had the momentum of swallowing Baruta in one bite. "Attack, rush up and attack!"

The coalition soldiers shouted, and the heavy infantry began to speed up, put down their spears in their hands, and rushed forward with their shields in an astonishing manner, like a torrent and a tsunami, trying to destroy the fortress walls with a single blow! Under the reflection of the blood-red sun of dawn, the advance of the coalition forces was less than a hundred meters away from the fortress, and the infantry line was like a long line that collapsed rapidly.

"Shoot!"

A white light burst above the fortress, and the crossbow arrows rained down like a storm, and in an instant, the front row of the leading coalition soldiers in the first row was crushed by this terrible counterattack momentum, and the queue in front of them was still forward, and the people who were hit by the arrows fell one after another. Terrible sounds resounded in the sky

"Keep going!" The narrow mountain road made it impossible for the coalition forces to disperse with all their might, and the soldiers in front of them were crushed, but there were still dozens of columns of troops standing like a mountain in the follow-up. The military flag is like the sea. It feels like being attracted to a maelstrom. The steel slashed violently, screaming and wailing creepy

"Trebuchet!" Salton raised his hand, the coalition forces were obviously using the depth and breadth of the infantry battle formation to wear down the counterattack force of the fortress, but the coalition forces would soon find out that their dense queue was a disaster!, the trebuchet of the fortress began to exert its power, and there was a sound of the rope breaking, and small black dots flew into the sky.

"Attention, it's the other party's stone!"

The coalition soldiers who were leaning towards the walls paused in their tracks, they were heavy infantry, but the trebuchets were powerful enough to kill them in a single blow. No one can be hit by a trebuchet unscathed, and it is useless in strong armor, and hundreds of pounds of fine iron armor can be completely shattered in front of a catapult like paper.

Clusters of flying arrows kept shuttling between the two sides, arcing with death. Like locusts across the sky and into the ranks of soldiers,

The coalition soldiers shouted hoarsely. Several black lines collided in front of the fortress wall,

The earth-shattering sound of fighting resounded in the sky, the bright red blood infected the earth with a piece of blood red, and the arrow shot from above hit the shield in the hands of the heavy infantry, making a crisp sound and being bounced away, and many soldiers in the back row were shot by the arrows that fell overhead, and let out a terrible scream, and fell down from the formation in pain

"Wait for all of them to go up, whoever dares to run back, I will be the first to kill him!" An officer of the coalition army half-crouched on the ground covered with mud and blood, blocked his whole body with a huge shield in his hand, and while pulling out the heavy spear inserted in the ground from the ground, he shouted to his subordinates who stood up and half-squatted in the same posture behind him, "Whoever is the first to rush up the city wall, I will promote him to captain" "The whole platoon of heavy infantry stood up and let out a fierce roar, and at the moment when the words fell, "Whew" A piercing whistling sound swept overhead, almost drowning out the shouts of the soldiers,

'Bang Bang" a round catapult pierced into the queue behind it like a meteor, crushing a bloody path on the bodies of several soldiers.

"Attention, spread out!"

The officer shouted in panic, and countless throwing stones smashed down, like a bowling ball hit by a huge iron ball, and the screams came and went.

The round stone projectile was like a scythe wielded by the Grim Reaper, and the rolling stone crashed into the pile of people, and the flesh flew sideways, and the low groan of the dying was low. Thousands of elites had all fallen to the ground at this moment, the heavy infantry armor on their bodies was twisted and deformed in the heavy blow, and the heavy warriors who had risen to the top just now had turned into corpses lying on the ground.

"Retreat!"

The troops in front of them, who had suffered heavy losses, were a little confused, but the mountain road was too narrow, people were crowded, those in front ran backwards, those behind ran forward, and those in the middle didn't know where to run at all, the killing continued, and the screams came and went. The heavy infantry of the shock was like a moth pounced on the raging fire.

"Your Excellency, Lord Boyev of the Forward Army requests to evacuate!" a herald cavalry galloped in

"Please refuse, Lord Sù Boyev, the road is too narrow for the other troops to give them a way out!" Leopold, the chief commander of the coalition forces, said with a grim expression, "Hold on, there is only one way, if they can't attack, then get out of the way!"

"Your Excellency, Lord Boyev is dead. The vanguard army collapsed!!The second echelon went up!" Soon the herald cavalry came galloping again

"Well, I see! I regret the death of Lord Boyev," Leopold frowned slightly, coiled his horsewhip in his hand, and looked at the other generals with a solemn face, "The necessary losses are inevitable, as the second wave of the offensive is in full swing." The strength of the counterattack on the fortress side will be weakened very quickly, and the catapult is not something that can be launched for a long time, one is that there are not so many cobblestones, and on the other hand, the catapult cannot withstand the pressure of continuous launches, if the army is withdrawn at this time, all efforts will be wasted!,

Just as he spoke. The slings on the fortress side suddenly loosened down, "Lord Leopold, your eyes are like torches!" The generals of the coalition army agreed, and at this time, in front of the fortress of Baruta, the attack line of the coalition army was suffering heavy losses, and finally pushed under the fortress wall, and they were greeted by the Hurricane Tomahawk heavy infantry known as the killer among the Nord soldiers.

The coalition soldiers who had climbed the city wall with great difficulty, and before they had time to catch their breath, they were knocked over by the overwhelming flying axes, and the shining battle axes were attacking from all sides, and the sonorous sound of fighting and weapons clashing. The white feathers on the heads of the coalition officers kept falling in the rain of blood, and they were burly. The Nord Hurricane Axemen, dressed in heavy armor, caused some frightened coalition troops to retreat in a panic, and some soldiers with pale faces ran back in a panic, although they were immediately killed on the spot by the officers, but this was a bad signal after all. A harbinger of the collapse of the front. "The second wave of the offensive has been blocked! The enemy's counterattack is very fierce!"

The front-line scouts brought new news, "Could it be that my estimation was wrong? The Falcon Army didn't suffer heavy losses yesterday?" Leopold looked at the battlefield ahead with some hesitation, and with a distance of hundreds of meters, he could also see that the infantry team occupying the city was violently driven down by the other side, and many soldiers jumped down from the city in a panic, "Forget it." Don't think about this, it's not a fake that our army has an advantage, the third wave, the fourth wave. All of them!" Leopold waved his hand and shouted to the herald cavalry behind him

The sound of a trombone representing an all-out attack came from the direction of the main formation,

"Stand up!attack!" shouted a coalition hoplite captain, the sound of metal armor scraping. Countless spears were raised. The polished steel shield glows red in the sunlight, like a sparkling river.

"One, two, one, two" came from under the siege engines with a burst of stirring neat shouts. In the creaking sound of the huge siege vehicle, slowly approaching, the soldiers below held shields, squirming like a swarm of ants, and in the sound of neat steps, tens of thousands of hoplites lined up in a phalanx followed the tall siege tower like a giant with the slogan, and slowly went up along the mountain road, "My lord, the enemy is ready to press the whole army" The adjutant's tone was a little strange "Well, I saw it!" Soldton's face also looked unnatural, it was really as Vicchia Falcon said...... It's just that the water was deliberately put on the inconsequential outer wall, and the other party really arranged it like this, they regret it!" "Yesterday's battle of the outer wall of Salton was not an all-out battle at all, and in the instructions of His Majesty the Falcon, it was mentioned that the outer wall was used as a bait, so that the coalition forces could put on a method of attacking the array with all their might. Salton was also skeptical, but now his heart has been shocked.

In the era of the Ikadivar Civil War, the Vekia Falcon was invincible and powerful in the world, and many people blamed it on the sophistication of the Falcon Army's weapons, but famous generals like Soldon who had fought to the death with the Vekia Falcon knew very well that the most terrifying thing about the Vekia Falcon was not the outrageous combat effectiveness of the Falcon Army, but the strategic layout of the Vekia Falcon like a god, which was always able to grasp the actions of the other party, and then used various factors to make the enemy's commander unknowingly step into various death traps, so that the generals of various countries were silent one by one when they mentioned that they wanted to fight against the Vekia Falcon

Inside the fortress, it must be filled!" With a shout, beside dozens of small catapults that had been temporarily assembled, the soldiers were busy piling up cloth bags into the projectile blue of the catapults, and more than a dozen shirtless and strong catapult throwers struggled to pull the winch with both hands. "Launch!"

With the commander's arm swinging down, "Whew!" Hundreds of cloth bags the size of wine bottles were violently ejected, and they were completely scattered like scattered flowers from a high place to the dense crowd of the two armies below. "Attention, catapults!" "The voice of the coalition army was a little hysterical, the tragic situation just now was still in the hearts of the coalition soldiers, only the sound of items shattering, the cloth bags flying down from the air hit the body, on the shield, on the ground, countless pungent powders scattered and fluttered, "This is?" Leopold, who saw this scene from a distance, was stunned, and the other generals didn't know what was going on, what was going on, was it snowing, "Ah, my eyes!" Suddenly, a soldier shouted, and there were twenty or thirty thousand coalition soldiers crowded under the fortress, and they were hit on their bodies by thousands of bags of quicklime, and the lime was scattered and shrouded, and the soldiers' eyes were stimulated with tears and could not be opened.

Many soldiers covered their eyes and let out painful screams, rolling on the ground, everywhere was a white and irritating powder, nothing could be seen, the soldiers whose eyes were burned by quicklime ran around in pain, the scene was completely uncontrollable, and some soldiers covered their eyes and drew their swords and slashed,

In the confusion, I don't know who shouted "It's the Molotov cocktail of the Falcon Army!"

Boom, it was a complete mess, the soldiers ran back frantically, the Falcon Army's incendiary bombs were still above Thor in Central Europe, and they were hit by Thor, at most they were crippled, and the strictest zhòng was to turn into a pile of minced meat, but if they were splashed by the Falcon Army's incendiary bombs, they would burn until you turned into charcoal, and the pain of drilling into the heart was that you could feel the hairs standing up even if you imagined it

"Order the whole army to retreat!" Leopold watched as the troops in front of him collapsed like a landslide, and the troops that had just been sent behind were also scattered, and he had no choice but to abandon this attack (to be continued......
