2498 Falcon Down (8)

On the southern border of Istanbul, on the road on both sides of the mountain, a huge chariot suddenly stopped, and several priests of the Order in wide robes knelt in front of the chariot, one of them was reporting the news of the death of the chief knight with an ugly face, and the chariot was "enough" A slight imperceptible angry voice, although it was with anger, but it fell into the ears, but it was like a gentle and pleasant mountain breeze, "brush"

With the chariot as the axis, more than 100 Templars wearing the crest of the Tree of Wishes knelt neatly on the ground, and 100,000 Templar soldiers were lying on the ground, their white armor reflected in the sun, the white light was like the sea, and the wind swept the banner whirring. The aura of slaughter rose to the sky, and the towering bayonet spears were as solemn as a forest.

The death of the Grand Knight of the Falling Mountain has spread throughout the Templar Army, the famous Grand Knight Chief, the commander of hundreds of thousands of Southern Coalition Forces, fell in a raid like this, and has become the laughing stock of the South, "The Grand Knight of the Falling Mountain is dead, why are you still alive?"

In the white curtain on the car, the Pope of the Wish Tree of the Order, wearing a golden papal robe and a black silk waterfall, slowly stood up from the altar, looking at the sky in the distance with extremely holy eyes, his lips squirmed, his pupils were dark, two streams of blood flowed from the corners of his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly, "Take him down and let him return to the sacred tree!" "Your Majesty, I really ......" The high priest also wanted to defend himself, several Templars had already rushed up like wolves, dragging the pale face of the Grand Priest of the Order from the front of the car like a dead dog, a few days ago he was one of the three major priests of the Order, no one looked at this poor high priest again, the army of the Order has always been in charge of the sacrifice and the Templars at the same time, and this time it was the same, it was this High Priest of Ha Fengluo who went to the coalition with the Grand Knight of the Falling Mountain, from the moment he received the news of the death of the Grand Knight of the Fallen Mountain. The top brass of the Order knew that this High Priest of Hafengro was dead, and if it was someone else, it would be the Grand Knight of the Fallen Mountain, the personal father of His Majesty the Contemporary Pope, although the current Pope had only waited for the Pope for three years, but absolutely no one would come forward in such a situation, "This matter must be returned with blood!" The anger from the southern high-ups, the Southern Coalition urgently drew strength from the reserve forces, plus some troops who returned to the team. A total of twenty fully manned corps quickly converged towards the base camp of the coalition forces, and the commanders of the countries were newly established.

The commander of the Harvey Kingdom, the Duke of Ferty

The Commander-in-Chief of the Wish Tree Order, the Grand Knight of "Iron Wall" Peima

The general of the Fezer Kingdom, Rokoti Valisi

Duke of Jinghua of the Kingdom of Aden

Grand Monarch of the Kingdom of Martin Lya, Master Anliu

Prince Musk of the Kingdom of Ikar

At the base camp of the coalition forces, the six supreme commanders of the coalition forces, examining the list of battle losses in front of them, were silent, their eyes showed sadness and grief, the night of June 29. The Hungarian army attacked the base camp of the southern coalition army at night, and when the black smoke rolled out of the morning light, the Hungarian cavalry retreated like a tide, but the impact was spreading rapidly. The rapid assault of the Hungarians, a night of bloody fighting, and heavy losses on the part of the coalition forces, more than 27,000 people were killed. The commander-in-chief of the coalition forces was killed in battle, and six of his generals were killed and eleven wounded. The entire coalition command was almost half paralyzed, in addition to the most heavily lost Order, there was also a royal cavalry regiment in the Harvey Kingdom that enjoyed a long history and glorious war history, so it was brutally damaged, and two hundred children of the Wang family who were specially sent by King Harvey to the base camp of the coalition army for internship killed more than one hundred and fifty people, including the three nephews of His Majesty the King, Duke Feitai, the commander of the Harvey Kingdom, finally resisted the urge to order the commander of the day to drag and feed the dogs,

Compared with two months ago, the coalition army sent troops to Iran, defeated the invasion of the eastern provinces when the morale was high, the current coalition army can be described as demoralized, the generals one by one seem at a loss, in the Istanbul Empire Kyoto as the center of the radius of hundreds of square kilometers, gathered nearly 200,000 troops of the coalition army, but in the hearts of these coalition soldiers, there is no sense of security, the coalition base camp is still attacked, other camps are even more difficult to say, the impact of 50,000 Hun cavalry, the forced coalition camp has to adopt a policy of contraction, in strategy, on the contrary, it presents a ridiculous situation of being suppressed"If we can't win a victory in a short period of time, the morale of the coalition army will never recover, and we can't catch up with the cavalry of the Huns, can't we even beat the army of the opposite empire?" Among the commanders of the six countries in the base camp of the coalition army, Duke Feitai of the Harvey Kingdom roared loudly and clapped his hands at the battle map on the table, "Our army has 200,000 people, and the follow-up strength is nearly 500,000, in terms of troops, we have an absolute advantage, even if it is two against one, we will win!" The Falcon has the Thor to deal with the swarm, and a frontal assault is not good for us!" Prince Musk of the Ikar Kingdom had a sad face, and his eyes were solemn, the Ikar Kingdom Army sent 60,000 camel cavalry this time, Prince Musk didn't want to be placed on the front line of the impact, the Falcon Empire's Thor was too famous, and almost all the Obarro countries had formed a consensus, that is, if you want to face a Falcon Imperial Army with Thor, the losses will be two to three times, and the Falcon Imperial Army on the opposite side is close to 200,000, do you want to fill in 600,000 people?" It would be nice if we could contain the Thor of the Imperial Army!" Darius, the Great Monarch from Martin Sharp, suddenly pointed to a point on the map of the map with his hand as blue as the ocean, and said in a condensed voice. I think we have all forgotten an important issue, that is, the purpose of the Falcon Empire's troops is to rescue Istanbul Kyoto, in this case, we can use Istanbul Kyoto as a bait to lure the Falcon Imperial Army out of defense, Thor as a field weapon, but it is almost useless in the battle of sudden encounters"

"Istanbul Kyoto!" The eyes of the commanders of the six countries fell on the finger position of the great monarch Darius, and his face was invariably moved, the method that Darius said was not impossible, Thor was cumbersome, and in encounters such as surprise attacks, it could not play a role at all, which was equivalent to cutting off the biggest reliance of the Falcon Empire army, the great monarch was in the kingdom of Martin Lieya, which was equivalent to the title of duke, but the power was much greater than that of the duke, not only with independent territory, thousands of slaves, but also a large private army. For example, this Darius brought a private army of 70,000 men.

"Then, let's attack on Istanbul Kyoto, and I, the Harvey, can be the main force of the attack!" the Duke of Fertai nodded in agreement

"Yes, knock out Istanbul first!" the other commanders agreed, and that night, a coalition of fifteen teams began to move. The total strength was between 150,000 and 200,000, and they were accompanied by the governors of the Istan region, who acted with the main forces of the coalition forces and were organized into six combat teams, although not very effective in combat. The number of people is huge. There are as many as 60,000, and the total number of troops is close to 250,000, which is an astonishing number, and the number of troops attacking Istanbul and Kyoto even exceeds the Falcon Empire army on the opposite side.

"Woo...... Whining...... Woohoo......"

At noon, the long sound of the military horn echoed in the Great Plains of Istanbul, and Varisian received a report from the front, and his heart became inexplicably nervous. Is such a large-scale mobilization of coalition forces really here to retaliate? But how can the direction of the mobilization be in the direction of Istanbul and Kyoto? Could it be that the other side is going to eat Istanbul Kyoto in one bite and then turn around to deal with itself? This is also too illogical, what does the coalition army want to do?" I thought that the other party would retaliate, so even seven or eight deep trenches were dug outside the camp, waiting for the other party to hit the head and break the bloodstream, but the other party actually put on such a posture of disregard. Stand on the watchtower high above the camp and look out over the southern horizon. It was already a chaotic chaos, and the whining trumpets sounded. The various units are urgently assembled. Infantry clanged and the iron pieces of armor sparsely cracked, and groups of infantry marched in the direction of Istanbul

"Tell Yaosin that the main force of the coalition forces is heading in the direction of Istanbul Kyoto!"

Varisian said to the herald behind him with a solemn expression, Yaosen's 50,000 cavalry is the main mobile force of the imperial army, after the raid on the base camp of the coalition army was successful, the 50,000 Hun cavalry returned to repair for three days, and then released again, the advantage of the Hun cavalry is high mobility, and the rapid attack

In particular, the leader of the army was the lone wolf Yaaosen, under his leadership, the Hun cavalry may have appeared in front of a coalition camp in the morning, and at noon, they fired arrows outside a coalition camp a hundred miles away, and the 50,000 Hun cavalry, divided into countless squads, like sharp arrows, spread over the roads, fields, plains, woods, meadows, deserts, villages, woods, and brown fields of the Kyoto Plain of Istanbul. The golden fields and pastures put a lot of pressure on the 200,000-strong defensive line of the coalition army, and after the 30,000 cavalry of the coalition army were lost, this situation was even more difficult, and it was not until the camel cavalry of the Kingdom of Ikar arrived that the situation was stabilized

Duke Fetai, the commander of the Harvey Kingdom, stood twenty miles away from Istanbul Kyoto, squinting at the infantry cluster in front of him, the big red cloak hanging from his shoulders to the ground, just like two huge octopuses before engaging in hand-to-hand combat, the first contact was their long tentacles, and the small fortress on the outskirts of Istanbul Kyoto was naturally the first to be uprooted.

More than a dozen staggered black pillars of smoke went straight up to the clouds, and the raging flames came out from these stone bunkers, like a red fire snake entangled in them, where the black smoke rose, it was the reflection of one piece of metal after another, dense swords, and the dust raised under the queue was overwhelming, and the 60,000 infantry of the Harvey Kingdom directly crashed into the outer defense line of Istanbul Kyoto as a precursor, and the Kyoto side of Istanbul was completely unprepared, how could it not have been imagined that the main force of the coalition army would turn the spearhead and destroy these small castles.

As the sun rose, more than 100,000 coalition troops lined up and advanced in a skirmish.

As far as the eye can see, at the end of the horizon, it seems that all kinds of flowers are blooming everywhere. A series of dense flags, queue after column, unable to see the end and the end, the vast battlefield, densely covered with soldiers and horses ready to attack, the herald galloped between the battle formations, forming the queue.

"These bastards, bully the weak and fear the hard!"

The new emperor of the Istan Empire angrily scolded at the military meeting, these southern coalition forces did not dare to find trouble with the Falcon Empire, so they sprinkled all their anger on Ista Kyoto, it was really not a thing, it was not easy to suppress the impact of the Great Prince incident, but I didn't expect to encounter such a problem again,

In any case, the main force of the coalition forces has put forward an array to capture Istanbul Kyoto, but Istanbul is the core of the Istanbul Empire after all, and the heritage of the empire for many years is not easy to mess with.

After the Imperial Navy cut off the sea route to Istanbul Kyoto in the south, more than 100,000 former soldiers of the Istanbul Empire who were originally stranded in the territory of Fesan were released back to China, although they had great resentment towards the country, but in the face of national crisis, there were still a large number of soldiers who joined the army of the new emperor.

These professional soldiers with rich combat experience joined, so that the combat power of the Kyoto Army of Istanbul has increased a lot, although the strength is still controlled at the limit of 80,000, but there are more than 20,000 veterans, with these troops, the confidence of Istanbul Kyoto is also a lot, and a large number of ordnance from the Falcon Empire was transported in, so that the combat effectiveness of Istanbul Kyoto rose sharply, in June, the new emperor of Istanbul has signed a secret treaty with the empire, completely recognized the Falcon Empire as its suzerain, and used all the rights and interests of the ten southern provinces as collateral to loan 10 million gold coins to the Falcon Empire,

This time, the new emperor of the Istanbul Empire personally sat in the main camp of Kyoto, standing on the wall of Kyoto, which had not experienced war for a hundred years, looking ahead, seeing the faint black outline of the tide on the horizon, and taking a deep breath, "It has finally begun" The coalition offensive echelon of twenty teams was rolling towards the city wall, the metal light of iron shields and spears flashing at the head of the formation, the earth made an overwhelmed sound, it was the sound of countless feet stepping down, the cold light flickered spears stretched out in front, rushing forward, and the spears like a forest were straight forward, as if a high-speed moving circle of light appeared out of thin air on the earth. "Bang, bang, bang!" A dense black shadow was thrown from the head of Istanbul, which was a catapult above the city, and below the city walls, thousands of coalition infantry rushed in. The moment the huge slings rolled into the crowd, the scattered blood flowers bloomed like flowers on the earth," (To be continued......)
