"Attention, here we go again!"

On the left came the shouts of the infantry commander with a little fear, and the soldiers who were still running around stopped almost at the same time, everyone raised their heads, and hurriedly looked for any corner where they could dodge, the arrows fell, and a red blood flower appeared on the city wall, as if it had been slapped by a wireless big hand, and the Marquis of Pembeuf saw his soldier's body being shot backwards by the falling arrows, "Come on, help me!

Not far away, a soldier hugged the leg that had been shot through in pain, and shouted bitterly, but no one paid attention to him,

No one knows when the next wave will fall, and it is a fool who is still running to save people at this moment, the city is in chaos, the red human blood mixed with the rain stains the ground red, and the corpses with arrows are inserted in the body, and the city roads are covered horizontally and vertically, and in the stream formed by the rain, it looks miserable.

In the midst of heavy footsteps, several knights of the guard of O'Acha, dressed in heavy armor and holding large tower shields, walked up the chaotic city wall, and behind them were the Marquis of Pampeuf, who had gone to the city in a rage.

As soon as he climbed the city wall, the archers' arrow clusters that roared and fell from the sky gave him a dismount, and countless arrow clusters, like a swarm of locusts bursting out of the rain curtain in the distance, came towards the entire area of the city wall, "Attention!" The knights nervously raised their shields, the sound of arrows hitting the shield of the guard knights, like raindrops falling from the air, the Marquis of Pampoff hid behind the shield, listening to the dense impact sound, his face was a little pale, if there was no shield of the guard knights, at this moment his whole body was absolutely full of the enemy's sharp arrows, and after the rain of arrows, the Marquis of Pampoff was angry and shouted loudly to Kemi, the garrison officer on the city wall, and several heavily armed knights stood cautiously on the periphery with shields,

"Why not fight back. What are our archers doing?!Will they not pull their bowstrings until we are all corpses?"

The Marquis of Pampeuf rebuked the garrison Kemi, no wonder he was so angry, although O'Acha was a marquisate with weak military strength, but as the capital of the O'acha region, O'Acha Fort also had a standing army of 3,000, including 500 archers, 500 heavy infantry from the Lord's Palace, a 200-strong knighthood, and the knights and hoplites were not arranged on the city walls. They lined up behind the gates to deal with enemy attacks on them. "My lord, it's not that we don't fight back, it's that we can't fight back!"

Garrison Officer Kemi was scolded by the bloody dog, and could only return with an ugly wry smile: "The enemy is cavalry, most of our archers have no experience in shooting cavalry from a distance, and they are not at all threatening to the galloping cavalry,

Moreover, the opposing side fired at a distance of 100 meters. Coupled with the heavy rain in front of us, it took our archers three to five seconds to just watch the clusters of arrows fly past from the time they spotted their targets to the time they shot them. By the time the arrow cluster fell, the opponent's swift cavalry had already slipped away, but the opponent's arrow cluster could cover the city wall arbitrarily. Because we're immobile!"

Garrison Officer Kemi's voice stopped, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he said with an ugly expression, "Tell the truth." The opponent's archery and riding skills are quite exquisite, just like those steppe enemies we encountered in the battle of Ekatse fifteen years ago.

"The Battle of Ekhaze Fifteen Years Ago......"

Panbof's face changed, it was a very painful memory, fifteen years ago, a great battle that made the entire northwest tremble, and suddenly broke out as today, the barbarian Slavic king who rose in the wilderness of the northwest suddenly gathered 100,000 troops to the south, and the northwest region bore the brunt of it, and at that time, the main force of the empire was fighting in Seattle in the southeast, and only the 30,000 people of the Julils family in the northwest could resist this enemy,

It was a battle of great disparity, both in terms of the number of troops and the commanders, on one side was the king of the barbarians who dominated one side, and on the other side was the fledgling son of the unknown Julill Lsford Castle.

That war swept the entire Northwest into it,

In order to delay the advance of the main forces of the Slavic kings and try to consume the living forces as much as possible before the battle, Fort Julilsford, who had just become the commander of the Fifth Army of the Reich, did not hesitate to force the northwest regions to defend and fight with the Slavs inch by inch of land, and transferred the main force of 30,000 back to the hinterland.

In the fourth month of the war, the six regions near the border fell one after another, and the Slavs' troops reached the Ekazer Mountains, which are known as the natural barrier in the northwest, which is the largest Hengduan mountain range in the northwest of the Gaul Empire, which is more than a thousand miles long from west to east, the mountains are towering, the snow is covered all year round, and the huge glaciers between the snow peaks cannot be crossed by the army at all.

The Slavs did not expect that at the other end of the Ekatse Mountains, Fort Julilsford, took advantage of the Slavs' turn to bring 30,000 main forces through the most difficult Hengduan Mountains.

This is an adventure, a big adventure with 30,000 lives as a bet, the Ekazse Mountains belong to the alpine region, the temperature is extremely low, the glaciers continue for hundreds of miles, the mountain roads are rugged and difficult to walk, on both sides are the thousands of blades of cliffs formed by the ice valley for hundreds of millions of years, the white fog is swirling, the bottom is not visible, the slightest carelessness is to be crushed bones, and the bones are gone

The 30,000 troops of Fort Julilsford stumbled all the way, marching far from the side of the mountain, freezing to death and frostbite, and the number of people who fell into the deep valley was incalculable, passing through the Ekazer Mountains, less than 6,000 men remained of the 30,000 army, and it was with the remaining 6,000 men that Fort Julilsfoll suddenly launched an attack from the rear of the Slavs, cutting off the supply of the 100,000 army in one fell swoop,

Nalaze, who occupied the Slavs and hoarded a large amount of grain, spent countless efforts by the Slavs to loot and hoard hundreds of thousands of tons of military rations here and burned them cleanly, just as Julilsfort said in the negotiations with the fat man, cutting off the backup supply, even if the army of millions has only one way to collapse, the Slavic coalition army is composed of various departments, and as soon as the military rations are cut off, it will suddenly become a mess,

The various ethnic groups blamed each other, slacked off in battle, and then encountered Fort Julilsford on the way back in a hurry, and then pursued and killed Fort Julilsford, less than half of the 100,000 troops could really escape back, and in that battle, Fort Julilsford's reputation rose rapidly, and faintly had the reputation of a new generation of famous generals of the empire, and thus from the deputy commander of the Fifth Legion, to the real commander of the Fifth Legion, and after three months, he served as the chief of the strategy of the Northwest against the Slavs

But for the entire northwest region as the main battlefield, the Battle of Ekazor is a painful memory, even Oacha such a region close to the coast was not spared, they encountered the most elite cavalry troops under the command of the Slavic king, in the period of food difficulties, in order to solve part of the crisis, the Slavic king sent this army into the mountain woodlands to hunt, this cavalry force is mostly composed of the Shun Dongting steppe people,

The Slavic region was connected to the steppe region, and some of the losers and exiles in the steppe tribal wars fled into the Slavic region, and gradually formed such elite cavalry, although the number was small, but they were fierce and good at fighting, fast horses and long bows, and the Oacha people who were completely beaten lost their armor and had no power to fight back,

At that time, the Marquis of Pampeuf was still a personal attendant of the old marquis, and Kemi was the captain of the guard, and the two of them still remembered the swift wind and lightning of the steppe devil in that war.

The war with the Slavs ended in the sixth year with the killing of the Slavic king at Fort Julilsford, and parts of the Northwest Land were already in ruins, and the Slavs, who had been cut off from logistical supplies, had no scruples, killing people and setting fire on the way to retreat, doing everything, and even plundering children and women as military rations.

Afterwards, everyone realized that from the very beginning, the Julils family used the entire northwest region as a bait to consume the power of the Slavs, more than 17 countries were attacked, the heads of nine regions, more than 200 lords and knights under their command were killed in battle, and more than 170,000 soldiers were killed and wounded in other battles, and more than 1.5 million civilians were killed and wounded

This kind of thinking has made the attitude of many regions begin to waver, especially when Fort Julilsford was transferred to the northwest to fight against the Slavs, and even regarded the northwest region as the rear as a place to provide the materials and soldiers he wanted.

For example, the fuse that caused the entire northwest turmoil this time was that Fort Julilsford ordered all slaves in the northwest to be surrendered.

Slaves belong to private property in the empire, which is the source and symbol of wealth, and many countries have a large number of slaves in their estates, especially in the four core areas of the anti-Julils family, O'Acha, Southend, Svenburg, and Bangor have the most slaves, and if they are all handed over, the economy of some areas will collapse, and the wanton behavior of the Julils family finally triggered a collective revolt in the northwest region.

In the Northwest, the rule of the Julils family resembles that of tyrants, and the situation is similar in the rest of the empire.

The wealthy clans that were born from Imperial Kyoto were like veins sticking out of a big tree, grabbing land through military expansion, and they all used their spheres of influence as a place to provide various resources to a greater or lesser extent.

It's just that the Julils family happened to be unlucky, and the vacillation in Kyoto finally made people dare to raise the flag of rebellion (to be continued......
