1945 Counterattack (10)

Salton stood on the wall of Baruta, looking coldly at the coalition attack line below, the opposing side's troops of more than 100,000 people lined up on the outer wall, and the open space in front of him was filled with black oppressive troops.

Despite the anticipation of the strength of the frontal enemy, Salton saw that his eyebrows were tightly knit together at the sight before him, and the noise of the attack in front shook the ground. The banners of the coalition troops were as turbulent as the waves of the sea, and the herald cavalry on tall horses galloped between the troops, and the appearance of the army was shocking.

Dozens of infantry teams lined up in a lineup that marched forward in unison, which could be called a sea of people, military flags swept across the land, and each infantry team was extremely neatly lit up with spear stabbing phalanxes, and above each phalanx fluttered their respective military flags. Shield!" the commander ordered,

The amazing arrow carts on the city wall are constantly bringing up a chilling light, like a hammer hitting it head-on, drilling into the front of these queues, bringing up a spray of red blood mist, but for a large queue of more than 100,000 people, the impact of these shots can be almost negligible

With the sound of shouting, the various teams of the coalition army walked neatly around the circle, woo woo woo! The ten-meter-long battle horn of the Wu Dua Kingdom tore through the sky, the Wu Duya barbarian warriors with braided hair raised the small round shield in their hands, the lightly armed warriors of the Silas Kingdom pulled out their throwing spears and roared at the same time, and the white steel legion of the Rela Kingdom, all of them were covered in white steel and heavy armor, and the red tassels on their heads danced like fire, and they all raised the iron long shield, with a suffocating rhythm. Like the sea's undulating threads, there were hundreds of siege towers in the middle of the infantry phalanx, when the tide of black pressure troops poured into the distance of two hundred and fifty meters from the first line of defense of Baruta

"Order the trebuchet to attack!"

Thorton ordered the Piercing Bannerman behind him, who raised the flag in his hand and violently drew a V, and with one sharp whistling sound, began to tear through the sky between the two armies, behind the first outer wall of Baruta. A black dot rose up, like a sparrow rising in the air, and the dense large bags of stones quickly flew into the air, and suddenly dispersed in the air like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers.

"Attention, catapult!"

The coalition troops below shouted in a panic, and countless stones expanded sharply in their panicked vision. There was a sharp whistling sound in his ears, and thousands of stones fell from the sky with a terrifying momentum, like a dense meteor shower falling on the attack line of the coalition forces, splashing a series of blood-red waves.

Creaking on the watchtowers of the city walls. A series of crossbow machines appeared on the battlements, and a row of metal arrows emitted a cold cold light, which was chilling to see. The crossbow shooters in the back quickly wound up and took aim. "Report ready! Request shooting!" said one of the officers to the soldier behind him waving a flag in his hand

"No need to ask for instructions, tell all the ranged troops, shoot freely!" Thorton shook his head, there were too many enemies, and at this moment, as the commander of the first-line confrontation area, he needed more power, the chess player conveyed the order back, and the ballista that received the order began to pour fire on the enemy group on the opposite side

"Ahh

A coalition soldier screamed and flew out. A stout crossbow bolt pierced his body, and after hitting the shield behind him, it immediately spun around, like a bowling ball that had been hit. Even several soldiers next to him were killed. There are more and more arrows, and they are getting more and more dense. A grunge or a low pop from the ears and shoulders of the coalition soldiers, followed by a low curse moan, the uneven armament of the coalition forces, most of which were equipped with iron shields. And the weak mountain kingdoms, most of which are equipped with wooden shields,

And in front of the Falcon's ballista metal arrows that struck sharply. The wooden shields were torn apart in the slam blows, and more and more people were hit by arrows, and the phalanx that had crossed a hundred meters in front of them was obviously withered, and it was no longer possible to keep the queue, and the dead and wounded soldiers lay on the ground, and the wounded soldiers curled up in pain on the ground

The moans of the dying mixed with the whistling of arrows, and the lost teams began to slow down, and the entire line of attack began to become concave and convex, and the later teams walked past them with expressionless faces, the soil under their feet soaked in blood and slippery, "Help" the wounded soldiers shouted in pain,

"What do you want to do!Keep going, leave these Sokasa people alone!" One of the soldiers hesitated for a moment, and was reprimanded by the captain behind him with a stern face, "Whoever stops here will wait for the same fate as them! The arrows of the Falcon Empire will soon cover here! You can't save them!"

"Bastards, you cold-blooded bastards!" an officer with an arrow in the leg scolded, but no one paid attention to him, and the follow-up troops continued forward, and the swift arrows rained down,

"Forward, take the wall!" The various teams rushed towards the outer walls of Baruta just like the spring tide, and the defenders immediately launched a counterattack behind the walls, arrows raining down like torrential rain, and stones flying down in large numbers like flying black, and the ground trembled sharply. The stone fell in the crowd and smashed a big hole in the ground,

"Okay, there's no need to record, if you can take down the outer wall in the first attack, then according to the strategic goal, it won't be a problem to take the Baluta Fortress in ten days!" Chief Dispatch Officer Leopold waved his hand to the recorder behind him,

"Report to Lord Fit, Lord Fit's Fourth Army is already approaching the city, and a battle is about to begin!" said the herald.

"I said that Lord Fit's White Steel Legion must be the first to approach the city wall!"

Hearing the good news, Leopold happily turned around and smiled at the other coalition generals and said, the coalition generals who were watching the battle were also very excited, and they were eager to try one by one, and some people said, "That bastard of Fett still has some ability, so quickly hit the city wall, everyone go back and prepare for reinforcements!" "Don't worry! Don't forget, this general attack is just a tentative attack!" Leopold said calmly Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, even if you capture the outer wall, it will only open the way to the Baluta Fortress, and the battle has just begun, and some battles have been fought!"

At this time, he felt a cold gaze pierce him from behind. He didn't have to look back to know that this was the Marquis of Rolla of the Kingdom of Ayali, if there was anyone who opposed this general attack, it was the Marquis of Rolla of the Kingdom of Aryali, and the reason for the other party was that the 10,000 cavalry of the Falcon Army broke through to the border. Moreover, the deployment of troops on the Falcon Empire's side is not clear, and it is very unwise to launch an attack on such a scale without understanding the movement of the opponent's 10,000 cavalry, the number of 10,000 cavalry is not much, but it is not much less, if the Falcon Army launches a sudden counterattack with 10,000 cavalry, it will inevitably cause great losses!"

Leopold turned to look at Rolla with a solemn face, "My lord, I know you are against pressing it so unreservedly, but this is a matter decided by the coalition meeting, even if it is the chief dispatcher. I also only have the power to execute" "However, Your Excellency can control the rhythm of the attack! I always feel that the opponent's counterattack is not violent!" Luo La took a deep breath, he is a veteran who is only fifty years old, his temples have appeared white like frost and snow, soldiers have suffered a stroke and slept in the open during the march, and most of them are scarred, and they tend to look older than ordinary people after middle age

Luo La's voice paused, looked at the battle that had been fought in front of him, and said in a condensed voice, "I always feel that this battle is too smooth." The other party has swept through the Falcon Empire Army in the north Gaul and the Gangnon people, others may not know the combat power of the Falcon Army, but don't forget, my lord, our Yiyali Kingdom is close to the southwest of the Falcon Empire. More or less know the toughness of some of the Falcon Army, which claims to be indestructible, invincible in defending the city, and well-equipped. Fearless death is only part of it, what is even more terrifying is that the Falcon Army also has a burst bomb that can blow up the entire city wall, and a thunder god who has the ability to destroy a qiē. But until now, I haven't seen any of the falcons on the other side show any of them" "If Lord Rolla is worried about this, you can rest assured, although I, Leopold, am not a famous general, but I am not a mediocre person who lets everyone go to death, in fact, our man-made man has already investigated clearly, because Baluta is far away from the Putao area, the big killing weapons you mentioned have not had time to prepare!" However, even without these, the crossbowmen of the Falcon Empire are equally strong, and if you instigate the army to press it like this, you are afraid that it will ......" Marquis Luo Wax was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said hesitantly

Leopold said lightly, "War always kills, as the chief dispatcher, my duty is to get everyone to work together"

At this time, the outer wall of Baruta had become a hornet's nest within 100 meters of the east and south gates, and Solton, who had become famous for defending the city, had quite a lot of experience in defending the city, and he concentrated here a hundred of the 150 ballistae of the legion.

Because this is the most vulnerable area, Salton predicts that the opponent will definitely place the strongest troops in this direction, facing several times the enemy, if you want to make it afraid, the first thing to do is to break the opponent's sharpest spearhead,

Sure enough, the White Steel Legion, the strongest in the coalition army, stepped on the foot of this wall trap with one foot, "Forward, kill!" The soldiers climbed up the city wall along the tower,

The large crossbow machine mounted on the castle tower fired crossbow arrows at the same time, and swept out arrows one by one. The soldiers in the front row didn't even have time to shout for help, and they were instantly hanged to pieces. Everywhere you go, it's a piece of flesh and blood. In this terrible metal storm, the heavy infantry in white armor is also as fragile as paper paste, "There is an ambush!"

The white steel army of the kingdom of Rayla, who was cheering for the first to ascend the city, was completely stunned, and the soldiers below watched in amazement as pieces of corpses fell from the top of the city wall and smashed on the bodies of the soldiers below, screaming, groaning, blood, and death trampled on each other, and the thick steel arrows swept past like locusts, and the arrows, flying stones, fell densely like hail, and the soldiers below screamed and cried, you hit me, pushed the ground into a ball and trampled on each other; some people dodged, but they were pushed down in panic, "This is!" Leopold's face suddenly lost his smile.

The herald cavalry who came to report just now rushed again, "The enemy's counterattack is too sharp, the casualties are too great, General Fett requests to disperse the army temporarily!" "Evacuate? How can this be done!" A trace of hesitation flashed on Leoper's face, the White Steel Legion is the spear of the whole army, if the White Steel Legion retreats, the advantage gained just now will be in vain, "Tell Lord Sù Fit, no matter what, please hold on for a while!" The plain and gentle Leopold was so stubborn at the moment. This shocked all the generals of the coalition forces. "Everyone, now is a great opportunity!" Leopold turned around like a whirlwind, his eyes shining brightly, looked at the other coalition generals, and said, "The main force of the defenders has all been attracted to the east and south gates, and the other defense lines must be empty!

The generals immediately understood everything, "What the chief dispatch officer meant." Sound from east to west?"

"Exactly!" Leopold shouted, turning around, "the enemy forces are already the last to counterattack, and they are all focused on the side of the White Steel Legion. As long as the White Steel Legion can delay for a while, we can completely break through from other aspects! Our army has the upper hand, as long as we put a little more pressure on the defenders, they will completely collapse" "Your Excellency, give the order!" The coalition generals agreed with Leopold's opinion, from the tactical arrangement, such an arrangement can be described as quite ruthless, and the Central European Barrow coalition will also gather stars this time,

Although the commander-in-chief Leopold's combat ability is average, his advantage is that he is as good as a stream, and it invisibly plays a role in coordinating all parties and eliminating the estrangement between various armies. The generals of the coalition forces of other countries are also the elite of various countries, and they are very aware of the heavy burden on their shoulders, this time the Central European Baro countries signed a military alliance with the Gangfei Empire, which is essentially equivalent to tearing the face with the Falcon Empire in the north, and the victory or defeat of the Putao battlefield is already the Armageddon of the entire Central European Baro and the northern overlord Falcon Empire, although the Central European Baro countries do not like Gangfei, but they don't like the strong and breathless Northern Falcon Empire "Time is pressing, I will simply arrange it!" Leopold held out his finger and pointed to the front line of the fierce battle in the distance. The troops belonging to the main formation of the Chinese army were divided into two routes, and the north and south lines of the city wall were attacked respectively, and at this time, the sun at the beginning of summer was already setting. The four coalition corps stormed from the other two sides, fragmenting more and more gaps. Fierce battles were born at every breach,

"Sure enough, it came up!"

The corners of Salldon's mouth grinned, the main body of his legion was the elite troops of the former Nord Kingdom. During the time of Ikadiva, the Nord infantry were notoriously formidable, but it seemed that the coalition forces had swooped down on the outer walls of Baruta. In fact, the onslaught has achieved very few results until now, but there is a feeling that it is difficult to pull out of the quagmire, and the battle lasted until 11 o'clock in the evening, when the coalition forces began to show their superiority in strength

Salton decisively chose to abandon the outer walls, and finally, Leopold heard the long-awaited cry of the coalition forces finally coming from the front line, "Occupy, occupy the outer walls!" The voice of the coalition chanting in ecstasy echoed in the night. , you can see the point of light holding the torch gradually overflowing the outer city wall,

"We made it!"

Leoper's face was also moved, originally he was worried that if the coalition army and the Falcon Empire army lost the first battle, it would be a heavy blow to the morale of the coalition army, and the outside world spread the ferocity of the Falcon Empire army, which also made all the coalition generals feel like an iron block in their hearts, now it's okay, victory! The first battle is victory, and in one fell swoop, he took the important outer city wall from the hands of 60,000 falcon troops

"The Falcon Army is nothing more than that! Sure enough, it's better to meet than to be famous!Come, send the whole army into the city!" Leopold's lips twitched slightly, and the army entered the town outside the fortress of Baruta.

"Lord Leopold!" Rolla shouted behind him, "Lord Raola, what else do you say?" Leopold stood still, "Look, the report is correct, the Falcon Army doesn't have those things!If there is, they will use it anyway!" "But my lord, I still think there is a problem, so the army should not rush into the city......" Rolla looked hesitant

"Alright, I'll keep an eye on it!" Leopold interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and his expression was stern, "The army has been fighting fiercely all day, and you can't ask the troops to stay outside the city!

Rolla shook her head in frustration, "I don't know! ”

That qiē is just your conjecture?" There was a faint feeling of unhappiness in the bottom of his heart, Leopold suddenly got very tired of Rola, and poured cold water on everyone at such a moment of ecstasy, no wonder the people of Elila's kingdom were regarded as freaks by other people, Leopold took a deep breath, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said coldly, "Lord Rola, if you think of what the trap is, you can come and sue me"

He led the guards as he strode past Rolla, leaving Rolla alone in place. The east and south gates were all occupied by the coalition forces, and at the open gates, the coalition teams were pouring in. "My lord, are we just giving up the outer wall?" At the Baruta Fortress, a general of the Southern Army asked unwillingly, "What can we do if we don't give up?" The outer wall is too long, for the other side, it is an advantage that can fully deploy the troops, but for us, the troops are at a disadvantage, rather than where to fight three times the enemy, it is better to throw this burden to the coalition army!"

Soldton's gaze swept over the points of light that had poured into the city under the cliff walls of the fortress, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth

"It won't be long before the coalition forces will find that capturing the outer wall is a cocoon for them, and now the road to attack the fortress is only a mountain road, and even if the other side has superior forces, it can only send one army at a time!" (To be continued......)
