The spring breeze blows, the ice melts and the snow melts into the gurgling water in the mountains, the emerald color of the earth brings vitality, and the distant mountains and rivers extend to the edge of the earth like a picture, and in the misty drizzle, it is displayed in front of the eyes of Adjutant Andalin, the adjutant of the regiment, in a lazy and intoxicating manner.

Pushing open the office of his teacher Hasenrimbaud, the familiar figure met Andaline's eyes, the room with the curtains closed, only the candlesticks on the wall illuminated the whole room, the room looked very dull, the head of the Gallic Empire's 400,000 imperial army in the Lasti region, Hasenrimbaud, was napping on his desk at this time,

Hasenranbo's face was tired and pale, his hair was unkempt, his hands were intertwined on his abdomen, and his slightly pale temples indicated that he was no longer young, and that the journey from the imperial capital to Rasti was no longer easy for the fifty-one-year-old Hasenrimbaud

The offensive of the Falcon Imperial Army may be launched at any time, Hasenrampo did not dare to delay, held a military meeting overnight to arrange combat tasks, and when the meeting was over, the time had unconsciously reached the second half of the night, dragging the tired body to sit down in the office, and after taking a break in the preparation room, he had to immediately rush to the Eastern Front to inspect, although the Eastern Front had a particularly strengthened Gallic Fifteenth Army, but Hasenlimpo was still a little uneasy, the Seine River guarded by the Eastern Front is the source of the river network in the entire Rasti region, at this time of the year, the heavy rain falling from the sky and the meltwater on the snow-capped mountains in the highlands will flow into this river in large quantities, the river water soars, and it is difficult for people and horses to swim across, if you add the garrison of the army, it is enough to form an impregnable natural barrier that discourages the Falcon Army,

Andalen gently walked over and carefully put her hand Chinese jiàn on Hasenlimpo's desk, a slight noise made the famous Gallic general raise his head, and saw that it was his disciple and adjutant, Hasenlampo patted the dust on the general's uniform on his body, and coughed dryly, "Ahem, is it dawn?" "Yes" Andalin replied, moving to the window. When the curtain is opened, the rain flies outside, and the raindrops hit the glass, like a contemplative charm

"It's still raining!" Hasenrambo's meaningful eyes narrowed slightly, "Is there any news on the Eastern Front?"

"Not for the time being, according to the teacher's instructions, I will send someone to go once a day," replied Andalyn, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of complicated feelings

"But the eastern front is more than 50 miles away, and it has been raining for days, the roads are muddy, and the bridge to the eastern front has also been washed away by floods. Our men had to go around the forest of Naples, coming and going, and even on fast horses, our men would not hear from them until the afternoon at the earliest!" "Afternoon? I hope nothing happens, I don't know why, I always have a sense of foreboding!"

Hasenranpo rubbed his swollen temples and smiled bitterly at the corners of his mouth, this tiredness is not only the body, but also the heart. Now there are rumors about himself everywhere outside, one theory is that he has half of the empire's troops, and he can revive the empire with a raise of his hand, and the empire can also die. It is even possible to establish himself as emperor, and there is a ridiculous theory that he has signed a secret agreement with the Eagle Emperor, and the two of them are planning to divide the entire Gallic Empire equally" and "Hasenlimbo has already secretly defected to the Falcon Empire. Otherwise, why did the Falcon Imperial Army stop in front of the Sixth Legion for the whole winter after defeating the Eighth Legion of Gaul like a rainbow? It's simply an incomprehensible act!".

For these rumors full of malice and speculation, Hasenlimpo has no care, and no energy to care,

He knew that the people who said these words were the generals of the Kyoto Praetorian Guard who temporarily rushed from Kyoto to reinforce Rasti when Rusty was nervous, and when they arrived, the Falcon Imperial Army had stopped advancing, and saw that all the glory halos had fallen on him, which undoubtedly made the eyes of these Praetorian Guard generals who thought they were superior to each other

Last winter, the Falcon Empire's uncharacteristically proposed armistice negotiations, which gave everyone a delusion,

That is the ferocious Vecchia Falcon, who is also afraid of the empire's General Hasenrampo, in the situation of the empire's stormy and windy and the defeat of the two battlefields in the east and west, the Gauls who live in a kind of bad news and unrest every day, suddenly find that there is also a peerless famous general on their side, and suddenly it is like seeing the morning star in the dark night, singing praises to Hasenrimbaud, and placing high hopes on it,

Even the fat man himself did not expect that his decision to suspend the offensive would create a Gallic "god of war"

In the taverns of the Gauls, in the midst of the noise of the night, it is common to hear such high-spirited words as "A toast to the well-being of Lord Hasenranpo!" and "Lord Hasenlimbo will definitely defeat the barbarians of the northwest who do not know the height of the sky, and let the glory of the empire shine on the northwest", "Come, a toast to Hasenlimpo, the god of war of the empire!"

In some public performance venues, the most popular repertoire is "The Imperial God of War Hasenrimbau vs. the Wicked Falcon King" The program of the show is basically the old-fashioned and upright knight defeating the monster, but the knight becomes an actor who plays the role of Hasenrimbau, rushes into the palace of the Falcon King with his soldiers, and cuts off the rumored falcon battle flag that can take people's souls, and with a terrible howl, a black clown with a red crown on his head and a feather costume on his whole body is the Vekia Falcon, and the actor who is majestic and dressed in the costume of a Gallic general stomps on the ground with one foot, dying and struggling, begging for mercy, crying bitterly, slapping himself, and the actor who is dressed as Hasenrimbaud looks at him with disdain, holding up the Gallic broadsword in his hand, full of momentum and might, make a gesture that you want to cut down violently,

The picture freezes in this scene, and usually at this time, it is the climax of the play, "Kill him, kill this devil!"

The spectators raised their hands, their mouths let out hysterical shouts, and the spectators would not hesitate to throw cheap copper plates to smash the black clown, and finally as the broadsword fell in the excited eyes of everyone, a human head as a prop was thrown onto the stage by the actors, which was a sphere made of leather, with a mouth and nose drawn with charcoal, and red dye poured into it, which looked bloodstained,

Behind the stage, the high Gallic military song "Song of the Gallic Warriors" sounded. The scene was so exciting and uplifting that everyone sang along, and the repertoire even reached the Rasti region, and there was even a troupe of performers who dared to run to the place where the two armies met, and the Gallic soldiers let out a triumphant shout, which attracted the attention of the opposite, and soon, several stone-throwing shells dragged the black smoke. The stage was blown to pieces on the spot, causing more than a dozen casualties, and no one dared to do it anymore

But in areas where there was no chance of attack, this was still the case, and the Gallic soldiers often went to see it in droves, and to be honest, Hasenrampo himself went to see it secretly, only to be reluctant to leave before he saw his glorious image. It's too much of a joke, how can war be child's play, the soldiers have seen too much of this, and they really think that the Falcon Army is an opponent who will fall at the first touch. In fact, in the situation of last year's defeat, Hasenranpo himself didn't know how he could stop the pace of the Falcon Empire's advancement!

In the afternoon, the sound of galloping horses' hooves woke the napping guards. A wolf bèi imperial cavalry was covered in muddy water, and the wind servant had just stopped his horse and jumped to the ground, and Andaline hurriedly walked over. This is exactly the person she sent to the Eastern Front, and the appearance of the cavalry made her beautiful eyebrows frown slightly, "What's the matter, Schroeder!" Andalene asked with a solemn expression, "East...... The Seine River on the Eastern Front has been lost!" The Imperial Cavalry gasped for breath, took the kettle from his companion's hand and poured it a few times, before he said intermittently, "I don't know what the situation is, I just crossed the village of Slasher on the middle line, I saw the road full of the rout of the 15th Army, the people were panicked, chaotic, officers and soldiers were there, they were retreating towards the urban area of the middle line, I found a familiar officer to ask, he told me that the eastern front had been lost, and the Falcon Army launched a battleship to rush onto the river bank and directly broke the river defense line!" The 15th Army Corps suffered heavy casualties"

"The battleship rushed up the river! What is the situation" A trace of shock flashed on Andaline's face, and she hurriedly walked up to the second floor, pushing open the door with a pale face, and her unusually eager expression made Hasenranpo in the room feel a hint of foreboding

"Is it the people who went to the Eastern Front who have come back? What is the situation there, I am going to inspect the Eastern Front!" Hasenlimpo said uneasily while putting on his cloak, "Although I know that there will be no problems on the Eastern Front, there is always a feeling of uneasiness today, if I don't go, I will not feel at ease!"

"Teacher, you don't have to go to the Eastern Front!"

Andalyn took a deep breath of cold air, looked at Hasenlampo who was picking up her sword, and said slowly, "The Eastern Front has been lost, the Falcon Army has broken the defensive line of the Fifteenth Army with warships, and the Fifteenth Army has collapsed, suffered heavy casualties, and is retreating to the middle line!"

"What!"

The cloak slipped from Hasenrampo's hand and fell to the ground, and the whole person was stunned, his face in disbelief, as if he had been stomped on, and the Eastern Front had been lost? How could it be, what the hell was going on!" Hasenranpo asked a series of questions from his mouth, but Andaline couldn't answer him, only that the Falcon Army had used the warship

"Battleship! Eastern Front, Upstream Seine...... The other party will not want to ......" Hasenlimpo seemed to think of something, his face suddenly lost his blood, and he no longer cared about the cloak that fell to the ground, but quickly ran to the wall with the map hung, his expression was solemn and terrifying, and his eyes were looking for the Seine on the eastern front

"That color, it must be that color!" Andalene heard her teacher staring at the map, and suddenly let out a voice that resembled despair

The center of gravity of the center of the Rusty theater of operations, the city of Nase,

This is the easternmost city on the central line, and it is also the pass where the Seine River enters the urban area of the middle line, from where the Seine is divided into several tributaries, and the Nasers built a fork in the river a long time ago, and the Gauls here have 8,000 defenders, and the Gallic 15th legion, which is guarding the upper Seine, is a horn.

Crossing the Seine on the Eastern Front, Crossat immediately sent 20,000 lightly armed infantry to pursue the scattered Fifteenth Army Corps to complete the complete occupation of the upper reaches of the Eastern Front

In front of the Northwest Legion, it was only a city with walls and a moat connecting the river, lacking the fortified trebuchet towers and arrow towers of a fortress, and no corner structures to resist the approach of infantry clusters.

This kind of defense is simply effortless! Croissat, riding on her warhorse, said inwardly

The Gallic defenders were obviously unaware of the news that the Fifteenth Legion had been dispersed, and were horrified by the Falcon Army, which had suddenly appeared under the city of Nase. Anxious alarm bells rang over the city, and the walls of the city were filled with panicked Gauls, archers and archers were placed in groups on the walls,

Below the city, 20,000 infantry of the Northwest Legion with shields and spears in their hands were divided into four phalanxes, and 15,000 Northwest archers with strong bows swung up in an array of attacks under the city, and the metal shields reflected dazzling white light in the rain, like a large snowy ribbon of light, and the neatly arranged armor and bayonets could not be seen at a glance.

The black armor was swarthy in the rain. The oppressive force gathered together was like a black tide that was about to rush up, the Gauls on the opposite city wall, at this time, their faces were pale, and the unfathomable and mysterious feeling of the falconry army below gave people pressure and frightened them even more, this is not the farce they watched before, this is the real army of the Falcon Empire, representing killing and powerful, invincible, and never lost in the battle with the Empire!

"What's going on. Isn't the upper reaches the defensive area of the Fifteenth Army Corps?" the soldiers asked in a low voice

"Yes, how could these falcons come down from upstream, the Fifteenth Legion!" the Gallic soldiers on the walls of the city were terrified, and they saw horror in each other's eyes. At this moment, a black spot suddenly rose from the rear of the Falcon Army under the city,

"Attention. Trebuchet!" suddenly resounded with a terrible shout from the city walls

"Trebuchet?" the soldiers looked up blankly, their faces pale as they looked at the countless boulders with various sharp water chestnuts, like a flock of birds suddenly flying through the air. From the white sky rain, with a terrible sound of wind fell from the sky, thundering on the heads of the whole team's comrades, and brains splashed. The minced flesh flew everywhere, and under the blow of the boulders, the Gauls saw their companions, and thus became a bloody scrap of minced flesh on the city walls.

"Damn!" This terrifying effect is dozens of times greater than the actual killing effect. The Gallic soldiers didn't even have time to dodge, the metal shields were smashed and deformed, and huge stones rolled over the queue like raindrops, and the soldiers on the entire road were smashed into pulp in an instant.

It was the first time that many Gallic soldiers had faced such terrible siege weapons, and seeing their comrades die so miserably, the horror took control of their already terrified hearts, and the neatly arranged shields in their hands were torn apart by the dense blows of stone-throwing, and the ranks of soldiers were completely disorganized

"Siege the city, my lord!"

The Northwest generals below have excitedly asked Crolister to fight, and the Seine River has been a spectator, so that the fierce fighting spirit in the hearts of the Northwest generals has been stimulated like a fire

Crollissat was still sober, in the order of His Majesty the Falcon, to let the battleship enter the middle line city area along the river, whether it can take Nase as quickly as possible will be the top priority of the entire campaign, and it is also the real role of the Northwest Army, take the river pass, let the battleship enter the river channel of the middle line city area, this is also thanks to the Gauls,

During the winter recuperation period, the Gaul side, in order to strengthen the defense of the urban area, connected the river between the city areas with the moat, and all the moats were widened three times, almost as wide as the entire river channel, that is, the warships entered the inner river channel of the city area and could attack any city at will,

In order to allow the battleship to have the ability to suppress the city wall, all the dragon tooth battleships have been raised to the side of the ship, which can directly attack the city wall from a high position, in order to be able to apply to the navigation of the inland river, the bottom of the ship is also a flat bottom, so it can quickly impact the embankment without toppling,

Chrolysat unceremoniously pulled all the more than 300 trebuchets he used to cross the river to fight under the city of Nase, and the Gallic defenders were caught off guard, and he watched the Gallic defenders howl under the blow of the trebuchet with cold eyes, and then ordered in a deep voice, "The archers press the cover, and the whole army begins to attack the city!"

"Forward!" The Falcon infantry captains raised their loud voices, and the 20,000 infantry of the four infantry platoons began to approach the city wall, and the 15,000 Northwest Army archers raised their compound strong bows neatly in the direction of the city wall.

"Shoot!" there was a minus sound, and the bowstring shook like a torrential rain

"Boom, Boom, Boom!" Heaven and earth were filled with terrible shocking sounds, dense arrows as dense as raindrops, once again fiercely bombarded the heads of the Gallic defenders, and the range of the composite strongbow used by these northwest archers, although not as terrible as the terrible Thorn Tile Longbow, was far more than the eighty-meter range of the Gallic archers' laminated bows,

As the fifteen thousand shooters neatly let go of their fingers pinching their tail feathers, dense black dots burst towards the city like a burst of black clouds, like waves crashing on the hard rock wall, turning into a splash of terrifying bright red, and the sound of "puff puff" sharp weapons piercing into the body and broken bones rose one after another in the raindrops, which was a symphony of killing.

"Squeak"

More than a dozen huge siege engines slowly moved forward under the impetus of the infantry, and the wooden coke wheels swayed as they approached the city walls in the muddy rain.

'Bang Bang" The heavy baffle slammed into the city,

Kill" With a shout that resounded across the battlefield, countless cold and radiant Falcon Army horizontal spears rushed out from the place where the baffle fell,

The dense spearheads are like a wall of countless sharp thorns, the sound of heavy footsteps is like a pedal clanging, and between the lightning and flint, it is like a heavy war saber slamming on the interface of the city wall, (to be continued......)
