: 1486 The Battle of Life and Death in Rwanda Ak (5)

The storm was like a wild horse that fluttered from the edge of the earth, and the dark clouds rolled over, with the waterfall-like rain water turning the hard wild ground into a difficult mud,
"Booming" thunder and thunder screamed, and the confusing silver lightning continuously cut through the sky above the head, illuminating the neat Gaulic array in front of Rwanda Aka City, and the shining electric light instantly illuminated the face of the soldiers of the Southwest Army,
The Hundred Thousand Army was divided into thirty squares, each square of three thousand people, and finally formed a hierarchical defensive line. The Gaul soldiers were mainly infantry, with a small amount of cavalry, and the Southwest Army as the South Africa. There are more cavalry in the front-line troops in combat than in other regions. There are about 30,000 cavalry in the 100,000 army, which are mainly arranged on the flanks of the main array, which can make up for the inconvenience of the square array.
These cavalry helmets floated a half-meter long white tassel, thick armor was washed in the rain, and the upper body was a forged plate armor. The lower part was a metal armor with joint protection, and the left hand was used for protection The tower shield of his right hand held a cavalry lance with a length of five meters high in his right hand, and the sharp point of the gun was facing upward. From a distance, it looked like a dense forest shimmering with metal cold light.
Strict arrays form a row of steel walls on the wasteland outside the city. The military flag flutters in the wind and rain, making a crackling sound. The cold raindrops hit the faces of the cavalry and infantry, along the cold armor Flowing to the ground,
Although the weather was very cold, no one complained that the armor on the body was too heavy, or left to shelter from the rain without permission. From morning to noon, Yan Zhen's queue was not in disorder. It can be seen that the Southwest Army is not a crowd of people,
To some extent. The Southwest Army can be said to be an elite of hundreds of battles. In the decades of confrontation with the Gange-Philippine Empire, the Southwest Army has fought hundreds of battles, with a total of more than 400,000 casualties, but the Southwest Army still looks like a barrier. Standing in the southwestern part of the empire, the ferocious Gang-Philippine empire was blocked from the gate of the empire. It can be said that it is one of the most resistant troops in the Imperial Border Guards, so that within the Gaul Empire, the Southwest Army has the title of "Steel Legion".
"Woo" The long and passionate trumpet sounded through the sky. The regular Gaul empire wearing the Gaul Empire armor began shouting the slogan "Attack!" and began leaning against the wall, behind them. It’s a large siege car just built,
The huge arrow cluster baffle and three levels of height, like a giant beast revealed from the rain mist, below the siege tower car, is the attack line of the phalanx infantry, because of the lack of wood. The Southwest Army had to run a few miles away to cut down the wood. In the previous attacks, the siege car had not come close to the city wall, but it was destroyed by a catapult on the wall, like a pile of huge The stone pile was paralyzed on the road.
These soldiers' pace is as slow as the siege tower, although they are wearing heavy armor. Holding the tower shield in hand, the whole body is protected very tightly up and down, well-trained, not panic, but the expression on his face is not easy,
A sparse rain of arrows shot down from the far wall, and a dozen soldiers hit the ground with arrows, but the others continued to move forward.
100 meters in front of them, a wide moat ditch lay there, like a giant beast with a sprawling blood basin. Even in heavy rain, the air was filled with an unpleasant pungent smell.
This is where the Southwest Army soldiers feel distressed
The small city that seems to be broken in one blow, Rwanaka, even has a five-meter-wide moat. Seeing pity, even if it is the most experienced front-line officer, I don’t know what the use of such a wide moat is. Just to increase the difficulty of siege building? But unfortunately, the commanders of the Southwest Army found that they still underestimated the enemy, that is, this river blocked the footsteps of 100,000 troops for four days.
A few days ago, when the most elite siege troops braved the rain of arrows on the city walls, they desperately built wooden bridges on the moat and made thousands of soldiers rush across the river. Suddenly, a fierce fire was like a dragon Swept the entire moat,
More than one hundred thousand pairs of eyes witnessed the terrible scene with their own eyes. All the soldiers on the bridge were lit by the burning fire like candles, just like the fire people were chasing around, even if they jumped into the river. , The flames burned everything on the river, all kinds of screams, and even let the two warring parties truce
The first attack was frustrated, the Southwest Army adjusted its tactics and immediately launched a second offensive
The heavy infantry of more than 10,000 people took cover, and 15,000 archers threw rockets into the city in sequence, hoping to directly burn the entire city. As a result, they were just approaching a distance of 150 meters. The sudden attack from the mysterious weapon on the city wall, hundreds of huge metal forged arrow clusters, just like the legendary giants shot the sunstroke clusters from the bow of the sky, poured into the queue of archers,
Even if the heavy infantry was blocked by the shield wall in front, the powerful giant arrow directly penetrated the heavy infantry and the archer in the back. The flesh and blood that was squeezed and exploded were like being dragged out of a long red road. The scene was extremely tragic. Although the loss of the archer is not large, it is only more than a hundred people, but no matter how the officer scolds, he has not dared to take a step forward anymore. The angry Argenon Kaja scolded the archer as "cowards"
Today, the weather finally showed a favorable change. The heavy rain poured down, the broad moat that had been burning for several days, and finally no longer flames. During the flow of the water, many black things could be seen undulating with the waves. Some Southwestern soldiers who saw the situation were pale and their legs and feet were soft~EbookFREE.me~"" Some people even couldn't help vomiting. They were corpses. Countless corpses that had been burned by fire were completely dehydrated or carbonized. The people of Mi Ba are at most less than one meter, and they are completely curled up like shrimps. Black is the color of death.
"Go forward, retreat from the latter to escape!"
Behind the officer's urging voice, the wall in the distance was washed slightly white in the pouring rain, and the blood-stained battlement mouth was particularly sad in the rain. The scattered wall walls were covered with catapult bombs. trace,
In the flying white raindrops, the figure of the opponent's tenacious archer appeared from time to time at the gate of the collapsed battlement.
After several days of confrontation, the Southwest Army's trebuchet gradually gained the upper hand. Although it was unable to cross the moat, the continuous impact of the trebuchet from outside the city also caused a small part of the wall of Rwanaka to collapse.
"Miri, do you say that the Falcon Army will really bite Rwanaka?"
In the distance, Markus, the commander of the Sixth Army of the Southwest Army, who was looking at the siege troops, carried his hands on his back, with a dignified look in his eyes. Next to Markas, he was a middle-aged general with linen hair and a large area of ​​raindrops. Flowing down the lines of his shiny mail armor,
"From the current point of view, it should be so!" The middle-aged general called Mi Li smiled at the corner of his mouth. The other party might be very proud. It is also a great thing to say 10,000 troops against 100,000 elites. But unfortunately he didn’t even know that Lord Lord has actually set up a celestial net here, using the enemy himself as a bait to hook the entire Falcon Army! Now we just need to wait for the prey to enter the net!"
