2169 A tooth for a tooth (2)

In the early winter of September, the weather becomes cold, and the last breath of summer is completely gone.

The earth is autumn white, like a huge white carpet spread all the way under the hooves of the fat man's horse, the cold wave of early winter, wrapped in the cold air from the north, a closed fortress appeared in the distance, as the figure of the black iron horse appeared in the eyes of everyone, the fortress squatted up and down A cheer, the emperor came to the eastern front, for the third banner regiment of the imperial central army that broke through the Helena fortress and surrounded Nuren, it was like a stimulant, the morale of the whole army was high, waiting for the order to attack, and the emperor came with a full 27,000 people.

The two banner regiments of the Imperial Central Army and the Emperor's Guards Regiment are all units with excellent combat power, and the well-equipped index can definitely rank in the top ten in the empire-army, not to mention that the one hundred and fifty gates of the Imperial Thor pulled side by side with two horses also arrived with the army, which indicates that the Falcon Empire's attack on Feshan's eastern front is really starting at this moment,

The Nuren side was the first to feel the pressure, and the Imperial-Army, which was originally in an encirclement situation, began to change its tactics, and a group of Reichs in heavy armor drove into the battlefield, the battle flags fluttered, the black armor shone like the sea, and the helmets shook like fire in the wind.

The black Thor lined up in the distance made the eyes of the Nuremberg commander Gledatt red, he stood at the head of Nuren City and looked at the black army in the distance, his palms were sweaty, and finally figured out the reason why the Empire-Army broke through Helena a few days ago, and did not attack Nuren, the other party was too cunning, and even wanted to use Nuren as a bait to seduce Fei Shan's last troops, which was a clear intention of the base camp, but he could only do his best to put Fei Shan's last bit of combat strength into this place

As the order from the Ministry of War said, Nuren was already the barrier to the east of Faisan, and it was also the only place to the east of Faisan that could be defended at present, once Nuren was lost. The Imperial-Army marched from Nuren into the heart of the kingdom, and the danger of the kingdom's overthrow was imminent.

Thinking that the life and death of the entire kingdom were on Nüren and on his shoulders, Gledat could only secretly pray in his heart that Duke Pastanon, who was a reinforcement, would be faster.

Moreover, he had a very bad premonition, the time limit for the Imperial-Army to besiege Nuren without attacking was coming, such a large-scale reinforcement arrived, a large number of Thor arrived, and the real combat strength of the Imperial-Army had almost recovered. I shouldn't have the heart to continue to spend time with myself here,

Tomorrow should be the time to storm Nuren, and according to the current defense of Nuren, can it be stopped? Gledat is also beating the drum in his heart

I heard that Kyoto of the Gauls in the north of Obaro is known as a city that will never be captured, and the Falcon Empire - army broke the defense line, and was finally forced to surrender helplessly. How long can a little Newren last on?

Gledat's guess was correct, in fact, before it was completely clear, the Empire-Army attack began. The emperor's military flag was erected on a high place, the generals were full of enthusiasm, and the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army, which was already a little tired, was temporarily withdrawn, and the attack task was handed over to the Fourth Banner Regiment of the Central Army, which had been recuperating for a long time. As soon as it was ready, the Imperial Thor began to slowly raise the muzzle of the cannon, and the loud sound of "Boom!" began to shake the early morning in Newren. The huge fire gushing out from the Thunder God of a gate made the weeds and broken sand and gravel of the surrounding land in early winter begin to shake, shaking violently, and the sand spirit stones in the grass seemed to be about to dance, constantly being shaken up, and then falling again. It's like there are many invisible big hands, picking them up and putting them down, and they are like boiling water,

In an instant, there was chaos on the head of Nuren City, and black smoke rose one after another, as if scars and cracks were torn between heaven and earth.

The Faisan soldiers instinctively covered their ears, but there were still many people who were trembling by the sound of the explosion like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, their faces were pale, and they almost fainted on the spot, "Everyone dispersed" Before the officers' voices could be fully shouted, they were overturned by a huge wave of air, and their eardrums were also buzzing to the ground. No matter who it was, their first reaction was that the whole person was squatting on the ground, and for a few minutes they could not hear anything. The only thing that could be seen was that the black army formation opened out of the fog that filled the early morning, and the fog seemed to be under a huge and inexplicable pressure, and it was torn apart by clusters of red firelight, and the blinding flames seemed to illuminate the entire vast wilderness.

After a series of explosions, new flameheads rose and threw debris into the sky, giving a sense of the flame's indestructible destructive power. After an hour of continuous shelling, bright light clusters drew a beautiful and cruel arc representing death in the sky, and a series of muffled thunder swept the city walls of Nuren "Ah" The screams of one after another were mixed in the explosion, countless bricks and debris and soldiers were thrown into the air heavily, and many people were directly lifted off by the huge rolling wolf that exploded on the city wall, and fell down heavily from the city wall of more than ten meters The military flag of the new 17th Corps planted on the head of the city was dropped by a Thor nearby, the wooden flagpole was blown up and broken in two from the middle, and the military flag was like a butterfly flying in the air, circling and flying down from the height of the city tower.

Gledat was a little frightened, his face was completely pale, his whole back was leaning against the battlements made of stones, his face was hit by all kinds of flying small gravels, his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't stand up, he could only watch this qiē happen in front of his eyes in extreme pain,

Although I have also heard of how powerful the Imperial Thunder God is, I have seen it today, such a terrifying power, it is simply the power of the gods.The watchtower on the city wall is strong enough, however, in front of the Imperial Thunder God, these solid stone houses, like children's toy building blocks, have broken apart. Gledat was frustrated to find that if the Empire-Army offensive had been so fierce, not to mention holding on until the reinforcements arrived, it would have been a miracle if it had been able to hold out until noon and not collapse" Report to Your Majesty, the Fishan reinforcements have already passed through the Furlong Pass" An Imperial black-armored scout galloped up to a raised mound behind the black army formation outside Nuren, "Good work!" The fat man, put down the lookout goggles in his hand, nodded to the scout, and sure enough, it came!

The generals behind him paused for breath one by one, and His Majesty the Emperor said that Faysan's reinforcements would bypass Nuren and go straight to Helena, but he didn't expect to be right,

The city of Nuren was not in the eyes of the emperor, and the reason why he came in person was not only to cheer up the entire army on the Eastern Front, but also mainly because of Helena, at this time, the benefits of the Falcon Empire setting the battlefield in Helena were really revealed, backed by the eastern provinces and coast, which can be described as a natural geographical advantage

The terrain between Helena and Nuren is even more flat, it has always been a place of bloody battles that is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and the geographical location is very critical, like the throat of the passage, it has always been an area that cannot be lost, no matter which kingdom controls here, it is a node that is the top priority of the strategy,

For more than 100 years, the kingdom of Fessan spent countless efforts to build the two lines of defense of Nuren and Helena, and the garrison was never less than 100,000 people, so that it could withstand the advance of the Istan people.

Compared with the mountainous area of Bavaride, which was heavily armed and occupied by Fessan, and the coastal area where the ground was already overturned, the emperor finally chose to set the battlefield at Helena, which was not even expected by the Fisan army, and the losses that he needed to bear were much lighter.

The so-called four or two thousand pounds refers to places like Helena,

Because Fei San was in a hurry to respond to the battle, unprepared, and the loss of Helena at the key node, the advantages that belonged to Fei San were now reversed because of the loss of Helena's fortress, on the other hand, the empire had Helena as the central point, backed by the eastern provinces and coastline, the army could attack and retreat, even if it entered a long-term confrontation, it could not fall behind, the empire could afford to consume, and it was completely possible to wait for the opportunity to charge a blow, but on the contrary, Fei Shan's side, in order to fill this gap, had to put the last troops into it in a hurry,

If you can't get Helena back, this gap will be open forever, and the fat man believes that Feisan is also very aware of this, and if he can't take Helena back, rescuing Nuren is just adding fuel to the lamp, and he will only swallow up his troops here little by little.

So the real target of Fei Shanjun's army should be Helena,

The road connecting Helena from the hinterland of Fessan is the official road leading to Guò Nuren, and the other is from the difficult Furlong Pass to Guò, where it is not convenient for large armies to march, and the mountain pass is covered with snow all year round, and it is closed for most of the year, except for some daring smugglers, no one generally pays attention to this road, but unfortunately for the merchants of the Falcon Empire, that road is a lucrative golden line, so the Imperial Intelligence Department only knows about this road

This is also the reason why the Third Banner Regiment of the Central Army is obviously capable of capturing Nuren, but still adopts encirclement tactics. The Falcon wanted to use Nuren as bait and Helena as a filler to swallow Feishan's last strength in one gulp.

According to the intelligence, the Kingdom of Fesan has mobilized a noble private army of about 40,000 people to rush here, and the leading general is the famous general of Fessan, Pastanon. The Furlong Pass was unsealed in June, the snow began to fall in September, and the snow was difficult to travel at the end of October, that is to say, the current Furlong Pass is still passable, and the commander of the Fishan army will not let go of such an excellent fighter as long as he has a little brain, bypassing Nuren and going straight to Helena, such a tempting idea, any general will not be able to help but try, if he finds that the enemy is still gnawing Nuren to death, then this desire to try will become brave and decisive,

The people of Fishan really chose the Furlong Pass!(To be continued......)
