In order to cover the actions of the Southern Army, the fat man himself led the Central Army to approach Sukogad along the central line, and the golden falcon flag really attracted the attention of the Gauls for the first time, and in the evening of the next day, the Central Army had arrived 10 miles in front of Sukogad, the second largest city on the Danni Plateau.

"Your Majesty, the front is Su Ke Jiade!" Hu Keqi, the central general, rode his horse from the front and pointed at the city in the distance that was hidden in the rain with his horsewhip, "Su Ke Jiade!" The fat man looked forward on the war horse, in the desolate weeds, the rain was vast, the huge stone fortress was like a huge side knife extending outward from the city area, and finally in front of the five miles or so, the boundless Danny high protozoa in front of him was cut off, like a fierce beast squatting in front, there were many concaves on the gray stone face, showing that it was not afraid of the powerful destruction of large siege equipment at all, at the beginning of the construction, Sukogad was the strongest barrier of Danni City, it is said that the Gauls who built it at the beginning used this big fortress to resist the invasion of the western barbarians, hundreds of years of wind and rain, so that this big fortress became a city, this is a fortress city with a military nature higher than the city nature, with a population of 80,000, but the real population in Sukogad City is less than 30,000, and the rest of the population is in the surrounding villages.

"Have you found people in the nearby villages?" the fat man raised his horsewhip, stopped the war horse under his crotch, looked at a large area of cut down woods on the outskirts of the city, frowned slightly, the scene along the way was already very depressing, the Gauls obviously ordered the troops to sweep the villages along the way in advance, no one could see, only the rain was pouring in the vast land,

Sure enough, Hu Keqili shook his head in embarrassment, and replied in a solemn tone, "Still not." The cavalry sent to patrol the surrounding area reported that the villages and towns within a radius of fifty miles were empty, and it seemed that the Gauls had indeed moved all the inhabitants away in advance, leaving nothing of grain or timber, and it was really impossible to move away, so they simply burned down the houses!" Hukochili's voice stopped, glanced at the ruins of a village not far away, and said, "It must be a sudden heavy rain that disrupted the orderly retreat of the Gauls, who used force in some areas. We found large stains of blood and new graves in some villages, traces of violent rushes!" "It seems that the Gauls are preparing to clear the wilderness!"

The fat man's eyebrows were twisted together, and the sight before him was really unsightly, and the burned and half-ruined village was bathed in rain. The dark stone walls exude a desolation, and the howling of wild wolves can be heard in the wilderness. This indicates that the Gauls had already emptied the area of population. Just like Sukogad in front of them, the Gauls wanted to turn the entire Danni plateau into a battlefield, and when they looked at the city from above, they could see that even the houses on both sides of the street had wide planks at the top to connect them, as you can imagine. Whoever stormed the city would be beaten by Gallic archers who stood on the heights of their houses and shot arrows downward.

"The Gallic general who held fast to Sukogad was called Trensk, and he was known for his defensive skills in the northern Gallic army. In the battle of northern Gaul, with 5,000 troops, he withstood the counterattack of the main force of 30,000 Slavs, and was hated by the Slavs as "nails" Algernonkatya put this general with the spirit of "nails" in Sukogad, obviously trying to knock off a few of our front teeth! Your Majesty, what should we do now, should we start a siege battle or camp on the spot!""Hehe, he really dares to think!" The corners of the fat man's mouth rose, "Order the troops to camp outside the city!" The fat man raised his hand and raised his horsewhip, and did not immediately start attacking the city

Groups of Imperial cavalry quickly cleared several small barracks outside the city of Sukogad, and in the afternoon, the overwhelming black infantry cluster drove over from the horizon, it was a strange sight, above the black line was a hazy white light, and when I got closer, I realized that it was the cold light of the infantry army's bayonet guns,

The rain hit it and was also split by the battle intent of the black army array, like a huge crescent moon of glorious glass,

The tents of the camp were stretched out outside the city for a full three miles, and the rain hit them, and the roofs of the tents were white, many of which were empty, but they were large enough to house an army of 100,000, which was to confuse the sight of the Gauls, and the fat man ordered the guards to plant their battle flags on a high place, and the 40,000 infantry of the Central Army formed a half-arc crescent formation under the city of Sukogad, and the silent momentum of tens of thousands of troops was under the gloomy sky. It's like a shiny sword that has been washed, all thinking about tearing apart the target in front of them. Boom'" A muffled thunder rolled through the sky, enveloping the heavens and the earth in a desolation.

At the same time, the falcon battle banner was blown by the strong wind, as if it was about to beat the war drum, and a wave of killing air rushed straight to Xiao Han, "Order the crossbowmen, hit it first!" The fat man stood on a high place outside the city, and said to the herald behind him, the horn blew wildly in the rain, under the dark sky, the white raindrops hit the black armor in the rows, and the artemisia grass in the corner of the wall also withered under the murderous aura of the sky, and the black pressed one

The army lined up a mile wide battle formation, hundreds of heavy ballistae were neatly pushed forward by the soldiers, the wheels moved slowly on the muddy ground, the metal bodies were cold with murderous intent in the rain, and thirty meters in front of them were 30,000 imperial crossbowmen lined up in a neat array. "Forward, March, Shoot!"

The crossbowmen slowly moved forward with the queue, their fingers on the tight bowstring, pulled the bowstring into a half-moon shape, and raised it at a forty-five degree angle above their heads, the bowstring made a "creak" sound, only to hear the word "put", and 30,000 crossbow arrows burst out at the front of the military formation at the same time.

The dense arrow clusters are like a huge blade, tearing apart the rain curtain in front of them, and the terrible arrow clusters shoot out sounds, constantly drawing beautiful white lines in the rain and wind, turning into a metal torrent of death in the rain curtain, and a scream of ghosts and wolves came from the opposite city wall. After four rounds of firing, the crossbowmen in the front had advanced to a hundred and fifty meters below the city of Sukogad, and the heavy crossbow cart quickly put a heavy arrow crossbow into the slot of the crossbow cart than the soldiers behind him, and by this time, the crossbowmen in the third formation had already set up their crossbow arrows;

"Put!"

As soon as the commanders gave the order, the sound of death sounded again at the head of Sukogad City, and countless heavy crossbow arrows up to a meter long flew out with a terrible roar that pierced the air. The phalanx of crossbow arrows placed in front of them also began to shoot into the sky, and the arrows that fell from the sky clanged down on the heads of the Gallic soldiers, and fell on their shields and armor in an unimaginably dense manner. In an instant, screams were repeated, and the Gallic soldiers at the forefront were pierced by long arrows, blood bloomed on the city walls like flowers, and the soldiers fell one after another, "Bastard!"

The commander of the Gallic garrison, Trensk, felt that he was about to go crazy, and it was no secret that the Falcon Army was rampant with crossbows, but the feeling of being beaten in such a comprehensive way was enough to make a proud commander want to vomit blood. Does the other party really think that the other party can break through the strong walls of Sukogad with just a cluster of arrows? There is a limit to joking! Tremke gritted his teeth angrily, and decisively ordered the hardest hit subordinates to abandon part of the city wall, hoping to drag the Falcon Army into hand-to-hand combat to avoid the Falcon Army's extremely sharp crossbow and scatter, but until the sky turned completely black and the Falcon Army's long-range coverage stopped. Nor did he come near the walls of Sukogad,

The first day of engagement ended with a dull end.

Trensk, who was ready for a hard battle, stood on the walls of Sukogad and was a little dazed. He held on to the battlements and looked at the full camp of the Falcon Barracks outside the city, although in general, the Falcon Army did not suffer a single casualty in this battle, and Trensk's subordinates suffered more than 3,000 casualties.

But while Trensk was annoyed as he inspected the wounded barracks, he also rejoiced in his heart. It turns out that the Vikia Falcon is nothing more than that, and it seems that the golden Raptor Banner can really fall on the land of the Danny Plateau, as Lord Algernonkatya said. The city of Kozi, known as the gateway to Danni, was defeated by the Falcon Army, and Algernon Katya personally led a large army to suppress the battle, but it was still defeated by the Falcon Army, but here, in Sukogad, the 100,000 Falcon Army could not make a little progress! After this battle, his reputation will inevitably resound throughout the land of Gaul

"Send a battle report to Lord Algernonkatya immediately"

Trensk turned around in a good mood and said loudly to his subordinates behind him, "Just write that the Falcon Army braved the rain to raid our Sukogad with infantry, our army fought bloodily and killed countless enemies, although the battle losses were 3,000, but it also made the Falcon Army's attack crushed, and it was impossible to push forward in Sukogad for a day!"

Algernonkatya, who got the latest battle report, smashed his fist on his desk excitedly, time is really precious for this battle, and it is very cost-effective to drag the Falcon Army for a day at the cost of three thousand men, because every day passed, the scales of war are tilted towards Gaul,

When the eyes of the Gauls were dragged to Sukogard,

Statunko's Southern Army Cluster had crossed the western front of the plateau and easily reached Rasya, one of the three targets, a small mountain city, the defenders did not even have five thousand men, and the southern army of the Empire was completely confused in the face of the sudden pressure, black smoke shrouded the sky over this ruined mountain city, the military flag torn into rags was blown by the wind, and it looked particularly sad under the cold rain, just a full-scale attack, the battle line of the Gallic defenders collapsed, the soldiers were scattered, Retreating in confusion, the remains of Gauls were all over the walls of the hill city hundreds of meters,

The forward troops of the Southern Army easily took control of the city in only 2 hours, leaving 5,000 people to clean up the remnants of the war

The first day was satisfying for both sides, and no matter how good the previous mutual guesses were, the real Battle of Danny is only now begining! In the early morning of the next day, Statunko was already standing on the loess mound northeast of Bodegul, looking at the city by the river in the distance with a very cautious gaze, the southern army of 40,000 men was divided into two parts in the middle, and pounced on the target cities of Bodegul and Scandhan respectively, in the early morning, when the light of the sky illuminated the horizon, the two armies of yours launched a powerful offensive against the unaware Bodegul and Skan walls at the same time,

As the fat man expected, because the Gauls didn't think that the Falcon army would go around in a big circle just to raid these three cities of no strategic significance, so at the moment of the battle, the defenders of the two cities looked at a loss, not realizing that in front of them, it was a full legion of the Falcon Empire,

Yesterday's torrential rain had already caused all the patrols to take refuge in the city, and the defenders at the head of the city looked loose. So when the Falcon Army's trebuchet pierced the sky in the first morning light, at the same time threw the ignited fuel bombs at the city wall like meteors, and the dense small red dots even stunned the defenders who had just opened their eyes, and forgot to ring the alarm bell for a while, today is a cloudy day, a brief pause in the rainstorm season, the wind is very strong, and the "pop" incendiary bombs with a long black and red smoke smashed on the walls of the two cities, turning into a beautiful and dazzling red light,

Loud explosions. Awakened by the Gallic troops who were still asleep, the carriages that were running through the streets were frightened and scurryed, and the citizens of Gaul watched like headless flies as countless little red dots crossed the walls and turned into the red of death and smashed down. Boom" debris scattered in the area where it was hit, and scattered red shatters ignited all around. The horses are running. The earth trembled in the dense and violent explosions, and the low ruins of the city walls flew sideways, it was really a scene like the end of hell, and the black thick pillars of smoke rose to the sky, and the explosions raged like fire dragons on the shattered and collapsed south wall.

The Gallic defenders were completely stunned. He could only curl up in the hidden soldiers dug in the wall, and looked at his companions surrounded by fire outside with frightened and helpless eyes, and let out a terrible howl, and jumped from the towering city wall with flames burning all over his body. The trumpets of the attack resounded through the sky.

"Forward!"

In the sound of neat commands, the black infantry phalanx opened out like a rising tide, hundreds of queues moved forward slowly, several shield walls composed of dense shields, revealing a chill that could freeze blood under the gloomy sky, towering spear clusters had been lowered, and the temporary formation of the long ladder to climb the city was revealed in the heavy morning fog, and slowly approached the city wall under the protection of the military array

"It's the Falcon Army, fast, fast hair trebuchet"

At this moment, the Gallic soldiers in the city reacted, and the terrible shouts resounded through the city, the defense facilities of the two cities were very complete, and the trebuchet tower and arrow tower were equipped, as the commander's raised hand fell violently, the trebuchet was extremely tense and the rope popped out, and the huge stone was thrown into the air, and then quickly came down, like a huge hammer rolling and smashing down, the position that was hit was often the dusty of people on their backs, a huge stone projectile, enough to plow a blood mark in the queue, even if the soldier wearing heavy armor was crushed under the boulder, it would turn into a pile of bloody minced meat, the hoplite's shield will deform and bend into the air, and the person will also be knocked out

"Long live the Falcon!"

A loud shout broke the dark clouds over the battlefield, and six phalanxes of infantry began to pounce on the walls, and the earth seemed to be sinking. Immediately after the acceleration, and finally into running, the cold light of the large weapons flashed brightly, and the reaction of the Gauls had been expected for a long time. The infantry of the Southern Army of the Falcon Empire did not flinch in the face of the tragic scene, but accelerated the speed of the impact, and the damage that the loose trebuchet could cause was almost negligible for a legion of tens of thousands of people, and the Southern Army rushed under the city wall like a tidal wave, and the long siege ladder took up the not very tall city wall,

"Steady, don't retreat!"

The Gallic soldiers of Chengtou Mountain have begun to be in chaos, the officers loudly drove away the chaotic soldiers, but the floating military spirit made his shouts look very pale, the soldiers in front of him were constantly beaten back, some nervous soldiers slashed with weapons in the crowded crowd, either you die or I die, the feet are slippery and greasy, it is a corpse that is stepped on, it is impossible to distinguish whether it is his own people or enemies, the thick smell of blood chokes the nose, only makes people think of "kill, kill, kill!"

The falcon soldiers who attacked the city wall were already red-eyed, and the corpses were gradually piling up on the city road, one layer, two layers, three layers...... The soldiers felt their ears buzzing, there was a fighting everywhere, the Gallic defenders were already in a rout, and the second wave of tomahawkers recruited from the Nords rushed to the walls,

These heavy axemen are all very strong, wearing heavy armor is like a thick wall of steel, the long-handled axe in the hand is definitely a sharp weapon for killing and chopping, the Nord people are the strongest infantry in the traditional sense, for every Nord heavy axe, there is nothing in their eyes that cannot be split, the heavy and sharp battle axe, without any scruples, smashed on the shield of the Gauls, only to hear the sound of a heavy object concave and convex, the battle axe even the person with the shield was torn into two sections, the flesh and blood flew, terrifying, with a rush of blood, the big head was split into the air by a sharp blade, and the Gallic infantry was completely frightened, Looking at these black-armored strong men who killed people like chopping vegetables, I don't know who was the first to turn around and run away, and then more soldiers turned and fled, and their actions became the last straw that crushed the Gallic defenders,

Scandner was the first of the two cities to fall, and the next evening, the Falcon Banners flew over the city of Podgul

The next day, the Falcon was still blocked under the city of Sukogad and did not attack, but a high platform had been erected under the city wall to place Thor, and Trensk spent another day in fear.

Just as he was once again proudly sending a victorious military report to the rear, Algernonkatya's order had arrived in advance,

Holding the order, Trensk's face turned pale, and he could not have imagined that Algernonkatya had given him such an order: "Give up Sukogad! Give up Glenburg, and the whole army will move closer to Danny!" (to be continued......
