2183 Eye of the Storm (8)
The fat man saw King Feishan's local military flag, which appeared in the direction of about a thousand meters in front of the fortress, and then there was a rapid sound of horns tearing through the cold wind before the night fell, and the prepared Feishan army team began to line up, and the dense spears were like patches of cold light flashing steel jungle from the snow-white earth,
The 300,000 Fei Shan army is naturally impossible to spread out all of them on this line, but what you see in front of you is still more than 100,000 people in the front, and the equipment can be seen in the past, there are light and heavy armor, the weapons are all the standard weapons of the regular army, and a small number of mobile light cavalry are pressed in the direction near the frozen lake,
The other Fei Shan army should have been left a little later as a reserve, so that it is the correct arrangement, if they have three times the superior force, they will not swarm all the troops up, in the face of the sudden appearance of the three large fortresses, it is a fool's business to lay all the troops in one breath, and send them in turn, in order to tear a gap in the solid defensive line as soon as possible,
"Command the whole army, the people of Feishan should attack the city overnight, let everyone pay attention!" The fat man's gaze was withdrawn from the Feishan military flag fluttering in the distance, and he ordered behind him, his face was not nervous, but showed a touch of relaxation, King Feishan is an old fox, thoughtful, and likes to do things like leisure and work, I am afraid that King Feishan will be like Soladin I, after learning of the storage of the three fortresses, he immediately ordered the 300,000 troops that had been driven out to retract again + ≠ back as a turtle,
However, as more and more Fei Shan's troops fill the battlefield, such a possibility becomes more and more slim, and when he sees the appearance of Fei Shan's army's main formation flag, the fat man knows that the other party has bitten the hook, and at this time, the other party will no longer have a way to retreat, because if the Fei San soldiers see that the upper echelons of the kingdom have three times the strength of the army, they will be frightened and retract, which will be the most fatal blow to Fei Shan's military morale. In such a great war that would determine the fortunes of the country, King Faisan did not dare to take such a risk, because King Faisan was old,
No matter how bold a person is when he is young, he will have a common problem when he is old, that he is strict in doing things, and if there is a trace of danger, he will choose to take a look first, and this kind of mentality is destined that King Fishan will not choose to retire at this time.
Otherwise, once there is a riot, he will put himself under the butcher's knife of the Falcon Emperor**, since he will not evacuate, it will be a strong attack! The fat man believes so, in fact, in the face of the huge gap in strength, with the completion of the three ice city fortresses in just a few days, it is no longer very important,
The Fisan people didn't know that they had wasted their last chance to fight, if the other party had noticed an anomaly in the scouts in those days. He ordered the whole army to be slaughtered at any cost, and the only thing he could do was to leave a palace army, and then immediately lead the main force of the army to move closer to the coast, because there were still 30,000 northland warriors there. At the same time, you can get support from the Imperial Navy at close range, but the other party obviously doesn't have the courage, and it's too late to come now!
Since all the chips are pressed on Bavaried. Then let's leave it all!
If you want to say that the biggest gain of the Falcon Emperor ** in the Bavaried region for more than a month, that is, he has hoarded a large amount of war materials, and the Emperor ** is in charge of the southern governor of the empire, Varisien, who controls the largest foreign trade area of the empire. There is also Berlante Bonnie of the Gangfei Northern Legion, who controls the entire Central European Baro trade route, and the Imperial Guard, in order to maintain a strong suppression of the Faisan army, what the two of them do is to continuously transport war materials.
All thought that once the attack order was issued, the first to tear through the defense line of the Fishan army, as the commander of such a large number of troops, Varisian had already asked for the right to allocate weapons from the fat man, the base camp of the imperial navy was in the south of Gangfei, Varisian had long coveted the naval arsenal, to say that the heavy weapons there were the largest in the emperor's ** regiment, it must be the naval arsenal of the Admiralty, the army was equipped with heavy ballistas and Thor were counted according to ten, and the navy was calculated according to fifty, and a dragon's tooth battleship was fifty Thor! There are also a total of eight heavy ballistas in front and behind to suppress the opponent's boat,
Holding the authorized edict of the Emperor's Majesty, Varisian led people to open the door of the Admiralty's arsenal, and the rows of well-maintained Imperial Ballistae and the dimly glowing Imperial Navy Thor in front of him made Valisian's breathing almost stop,
The long convoy of horses of the Gangfei Southern Army has been transported to the front line for more than a whole month, and you can imagine how much it has been hoarded, not to mention military rations and supplies, just taking the heavy weapons from the naval arsenal as an example, it has reached an outrageous level.
There are 550 imperial heavy crossbows for loading warships, more than 300 Thors of the Imperial Navy, and a huge number of Thor bullets, and Varisian has not even let go of various types of trebuchets, for Varisian, as long as it can tear apart the opponent's city wall, it must be pulled away, because Varisian's initial battle plan was to break through the defense line of the Fishan army, and without heavy weapons, how can he break through the defense line of the 300,000 Fishan army?
Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Imperial Navy was still fighting in Strant, Varisian could be said to have almost emptied the arsenal of the Imperial Navy this time, he had already planned it, as long as His Majesty gave an order, he would use these various types of heavy weapons to concentrate on a section of the city in one go, first smash open a big hole, and then lead everyone to hug it in one breath, as long as it can be victorious, and when the Admiral Minister Dustrenkai returns, he will be investigated, and His Majesty will also be on top
But I didn't expect that the situation would change so quickly, I had prepared so much and didn't have a chance to use it, the Central European and Baro coalition forces withdrew, and the cavalry of the Eastern and Western Courts also withdrew, not every time I had the opportunity to use such a large number of heavy weapons! Such a large number is enough to raise the overall level of the Fei Shan Army
Now, these weapons are listed on the ice-like back wall, three large fortresses, each fortress has nearly a hundred Thor gods, not those imperial heavy ballistas leaning against the ice wall battlements, which are the exclusive weapons of the enemy's heavy infantry, one hundred and fifty meters away to penetrate the heavy armor is like playing, as for the trebuchet, it was placed in the fortress by His Majesty the Falcon very despicably. His Majesty said that there were no good trees in this wasteland, and the other party would never have thought that there were such a number of trebuchets arranged in the city, waiting for the other party to collide
Looking at the black pressure on a catapult lever like a giant, Varisian felt excited from the inside, come on, come if you want to die!
"Woohoo"
The sound of a military horn overhead reached the eardrums. King Fei Shan immediately took the position of the formation, and looked at the three frozen fortresses in front of him in disbelief, as if he was swinging, there really were three fortresses! The old man's pupils shrank unconsciously, and his face was as old as grapefruit peel. The gloomy one wanted to drip water, and originally thought that the so-called defense line of the Falcon Emperor ** could have a simple ice wall that was already an unprecedented miracle, who would have thought that in just a few days, what he saw was three large fortresses with complete garrisons and towering deep ditches, how did the other party do it?
It's freezing cold, unconsciously. How did you go from a defender to an attacker!
King Fessan's hand holding the horsewhip waved fiercely, and the wings of his nose, which was very dissatisfied in his heart, snorted heavily, and his eyes swept over the Marquis Mandy, the deputy head of the Ministry of Military Affairs, who was about to stare out, and asked in a cold voice, "Mandyqing." Didn't you say that you knew everything about Bavaried, then you could tell me that these three fortresses would have cost countless manpower and material resources at first glance, and that it would not have been possible to complete them in three or four years. Could it be that it grew out of the ground?"
Feeling the fierce killing intent in the eyes of His Majesty the King, the back of the Marquis Mandy, the deputy minister of military affairs, was already drenched with sweat, and he rolled to the ground from the war horse "The subordinates are guaranteed by the honor of the Mandy family." There was absolutely nothing here before!"
"So, you don't know anything about what is here?"
King Faisan's gaze became colder and colder, and Marquis Mandy's face was as pale as a piece of paper, the appearance of these three fortresses was too incredible, as an experienced battlefield veteran, how could he not know what the appearance of these three big fortresses meant, and it was no wonder that His Majesty the King did not give himself a little face,
Originally, it felt like a stable battle situation, but it suddenly became uncertain.
In this kind of battle of hundreds of thousands of people, the two sides compete with the pressure of one queue after another, and it is the oppressive victory of the gap of the large cluster to tear apart the entire defense line, so that there is a collapse pursuit of dozens of miles, hundreds of miles of land is lost, and even the legendary speed of the army under the royal capital can be overnight, if it is in the unobstructed wilderness, King Feishan would have ordered the attack long ago
The three-fold strength advantage of this side is enough to suppress any opponent, even if it is the Falcon Emperor**, the opponent's overstretched strength is a shortcoming that cannot be restrained, as long as a hole is torn, the Falcon Emperor** will burst like a barrel that can't carry more wine,
Victory was within reach, and so did Faisan's generals,
But now, all the things have changed, and it has become more difficult, these three fortresses are like a loud slap in the face of Fei Shan's entire army, everyone can't know how the Falcon Emperor ** did this, but the army has been pulled out, not to mention the three fortresses, even the sword mountain and the sea of fire can only move forward, but this time I don't know if there is a sea of fire, but the iceberg is certain!"
A general Fei Shan looked at the sky that was beginning to get dark with worried eyes, and some soldiers who were talking to each other, and said in a condensed voice, "The Ice Fortress of the Falcon Emperor ** has begun to shake the soldiers' fighting spirits, if you don't give the attack order immediately, your subordinates are worried that by tomorrow, the legion that will be the main attack will lose its sharpness,
"Say so, but what are we going to do to siege the city? The army has just arrived, but there are almost no siege equipment, so we can't let the soldiers touch the ice wall!" Someone in General Fisan said indignantly, attacking the city at night is a very miserable thing, not only because the night is not clear to see the other party's arrangement, but also because the night in Bavaried is too cold, the iron armor is like a steel thorn on the body, and the howling cold wind is like a knife, which is a kind of torture for the soldiers! The army was tired and ill-prepared, and it was pointless to force the soldiers to storm the city at this time.
"What's meaningless!, our soldiers are cold in armor and can't afford to fight for a long time, isn't the Falcon Emperor**?" The general who raised the attack said with a red face, "In the same harsh environment, the side with strong troops will inevitably have more advantages, as long as it is broken, the other party will be scattered," On the contrary, it is an extra night, which is equivalent to giving the Falcon Emperor ** a night of ample time to arrange, and it is easier for the army to pass through the ice ditch under the cover of night, the Falcon Emperor** It is famous for its long-range weapons, and if you can't see it clearly, what are you talking about long-range shooting!" "Okay, don't fight, I've already decided, the attack will start tonight!"
King Fei Shan waved his hand with a stern face, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he pointed to one of the Fei Shan generals and said, "Paula Qing is right, it is too dangerous to delay one night in vain, you must know this Falcon Emperor** Behind the steppe people, there are 100,000 cavalry of the steppe people, although the distance is two hundred miles, but if the grassland cavalry gallops with cavalry horsepower to help, the other party is likely to arrive here tomorrow afternoon, and then we will be the result of the enemy on the back of the abdomen, facing the 100,000 iron cavalry of the Falcon Empire, how many people do you think the 300,000 army can go back alive?
"This ......" The faces of the generals changed, this is the extension of the Bavaried region, the edge of this plateau, so in terms of terrain, it is not all like the ravines in other regions, for example, the front end of the three fortresses of the Falcon Emperor ** is the terrain of a horse and a flat river, once the 100,000 steppe cavalry kills back, under the impact of the cavalry horsepower, the 300,000 army may not be able to block the impact!
His Majesty the King's thoughts were correct, there was only one day and one night left for Fei Shan, and if he couldn't take the fortress, all the efforts Fei San had made before would be in vain! In this case, who dares to stand up and ask to waste this night, but the lack of siege equipment is also a problem, in the end King Fishan decided that the task of this night is to fill the ice pits outside the three fortresses, and wait until the siege equipment arrives in the early morning of tomorrow, you can launch an attack on the city wall with all your strength, and fight fiercely all night, Fishan army can take turns to rest with the advantage of troops, but it will be difficult for the emperor who defends the city to fight! The order will go down, from now on, any team that receives the order will not be delayed, and it will be taken down for me tonight, even if it is filled with people!" King Fesan ordered loudly, and the determination in his voice made all the generals of Fissan feel a trace of misery, one day and one night, can this be taken down? (To be continued......)
