: 1923 The Empire Strikes Back (7)

At dusk, the sun was slanting on the waves-like hills, and the exhausted, not just 60,000 army finally saw the giant fortress of Barthoni, which was like a giant beast. The solid wall was as usual, but the military flag was blue. The flag of the Gang of Non-Empire became the military flag of the Falcon Empire in Black Phnom Penh,
　　
"Bartoni Fortress...is lost!" A non-soldier stared into the distance desperately, his lips trembling and muttering to himself, rushing to the trembling legs of the hilly road for more than twenty miles in a row. , Sit down on the ground, prolonged rolling hills, the chilly wind blowing from the wilderness, 60,000 Gang Fei army has no array at all, because it was ordered to march quickly, the officers were able to restrain the team at the beginning , But as more and more soldiers were left behind, the queue began to be scattered and uncontrollable, "Get up right now, everyone is not allowed to stop!" An officer will soon come over, "I can't move, I can't really run Moved! How can the human leg run better than the horse leg! "An older soldier sits on the ground breathlessly," yeah, the other party is a cavalry, we are infantry, and chasing is simply impossible!"
　　
The soldier’s words aroused the anger of the other soldiers. The nearby soldiers all rushed in and said loudly that they were driven out of the mountain road for more than 20 miles, and it was not enough to stop to rest. Is that still a human order? Do you have officers to come down? Walk, let us ride a horse, not to mention 50 miles, even 100 miles we will go!
　　
"The war is imminent, the enemy may launch an attack at any time... and this is the above order." The officer explained ugly face to the surging soldiers, "No matter, you must not die on the enemy's hand but first exhausted! "I don't know who shouted in the crowd, and immediately received a response from hundreds of people, all sitting on the ground at once. This trend quickly caused a riot in the Gangfei's forward army, and the general in charge of the forward army walked anxiously back and forth.
　　
　　 "Tata"
　　
　　 A team of cavalry came up from behind. Boai Kasa, who rode on the war horse, glanced at the soldiers sitting all over, shouting hoarsely, "Whose army is this is a blatant violation of the order! Hurry, gather immediately, we are going to attack Bartoni The fortress must be recaptured! ""Sir, the soldiers are indeed exhausted! Let them rest!" The officer said breathlessly, soldiers sitting on the ground breathlessly all around, running continuously In the hilly land of more than twenty miles, even the iron hitters can't stand the "rest?" Boai Casa glared angrily at this name. He snapped and said, "The distance from the Bartuni fortress has been made up to three miles in front. The enemy has just experienced a siege battle. Even if it occupied the Bartuni fortress, it is still unsettled. The opponent's strength is only 10,000, and we have 60,000 people, as long as we attack with all our strength, we will surely be able to get the fortress back again," but now you look at what these guys are doing. At the core of the battle is the gate to be blocked by the 60,000 army, but we have lost Bartini even without a real confrontation! If this is passed, we are the biggest laughing stock, rest? Don’t joke. Order the troops to assemble, I want to counterattack!" Master, now I'm afraid I can't fight back! "The adjutant's mouth smiled with a wry smile and pointed to the soldiers around him
　　
"Although we lost the fortress. But we still have 60,000 troops. If we attack at this time, I am afraid that even the troops can't keep it!" "Stupid! If you can't get back the Bawuen Fortress. Under the two sides of the enemy, wait. We and the 60,000 Army will have no other choice but to collapse and die! "Boai Kasa gritts his teeth and raises his whip." Every minute now is about our lives."
　　
　　 "Assemble troops, we must get back the Baturni fortress as soon as possible!" Boai Kasa called up his men and discussed the counterattack with a gloomy face
　　
　　 "Adult, the army is exhausted and lacks food. In this case, it is necessary to attack the strong Barthoni fortress, it is really..." An infantry commander's face looked ugly
　　
"I can see all of this, but you should also think about it. The other party transferred tens of thousands of their own troops from the main fortress with a false and indiscernible retreat, and then hit us with the high driving force of the cavalry. There is almost no time difference. The loss took the Baturni Fortress. If this news is passed back, waiting for you and I will have only one result..." Boai Kasa's voice paused, his eyes swept over several generals, and several non-generals were silent at the same time. , Even the opposing general closed his mouth under his gaze, and the air suppressed the feeling of freezing.
　　
　　Yeah, unconsciously, the other party has already pushed themselves to the dead end!
　　
　　Damn, why is this so! An infantry commander gritted his teeth, and if the opponent did not show up, he directly attacked the Bartoni fortress and pursued it, or at most it was a misjudgment. The cavalry turned to the Baturni fortress in front of their own army,
　　
If the generals did not say anything at all, it would be a real delay in the warplanes and panic to avoid the war. When such a big hat is pressed down, all your efforts in the military world will be turned into running water, and it will still be a question of whether you can survive. Just before the war, the Ministry of Military Affairs issued a death order. "We must fight hard to prevent the Falcon Army from advancing southward. In this battle, those who are greedy and afraid of death, and fear of evasive behavior, will be executed on the spot."
　　
　　The War Department Supervision Team is sitting in Warika, less than fifty miles away. The sharp blade is waiting to find a strong head to stand up.
　　
The Boai Casa and the generals who lost the Bartuni fortress are undoubtedly the best hangings used by the war team to deter the small night. If you do not counterattack the Bartuni fortress, the war team will arrive tomorrow, thinking that your head will be The war team circulated the entire 200,000 southern army as a proud demonstration, and the unruly generals also felt the chilling chill that had spread to the neck.
　　
"Everyone understands, my decision is not for myself!" Boai Kasha was full of blood, and his right hand slowly pulled out his sword. A fierce sword was inserted into the soil under his feet, and his eyes swept the generals. "Whether you are willing to be circulated to the whole army like a column, humiliating your family, making your family look ashamed, or fighting like an imperial soldier, even if you splash the walls of Barthoni with three feet of faithful blood! The duty of the soldiers! At least you don’t need to involve your family members. Make a choice! ""I agree to participate in the attack!" An infantry commander hesitated. I agree. "I also agree. "Another infantry commander looked at his colleagues and said to himself." Although I am handsome, I do not want to be treated by the whole army! "Several other generals also said Agree, between fighting desperately and killing because of the disadvantage of combat, soldiers are used to choosing the former.
Since there is no objection, the battle is scheduled tonight. Everyone goes back to gather their troops, build siege equipment, and attack at night. The strength of 10,000 people can’t believe that it can’t beat the Bawunni fortress!
Boai Kasa’s dignified gaze with a trace of decisiveness
is either the Falcon Army death light, or our death light! Because we did not carry more than three days of military food! , Sir! "The generals looked firm, saluted neatly, turned and left
　　
There is no starlight in the black night, and the torches in front of the Barthoni Fortress are spreading like a starlight on the front of the Guangping. The dark clouds are pressing against the sky and the sky is covered with sky. A thunderous thunder rumbles. The sword usually cut through the sky at the top of the fortress. At the same time, the faces of the soldiers of the two armies were also illuminated, "The heavy rain in spring was at this time!" The fat man raised his head to look at the flashes of electricity in the sky and stood on the city wall with a hand outstretched. He was wearing black armor. With a gaze that looks like a demon god, it swept across the army of 60,000 soldiers who put forward a desperate battle,
　　
　　 More than ten square formations are full of Lin spears, and archers are arranged on the flanks of the main formation. At the forefront is the famous Bai Fei heavy armored infantry in the non-Southern Army,
　　
　　The white long tassels fluttering on the helmets of these non-white feather infantry helmets, the upper body is a forged plate armor. The lower part is an iron armor with joint protection, the left hand is a tower shield for protection, and the right hand is holding a cavalry lance with a length of five meters, the sharp point of the gun is facing upward, and it looks like a cold metal flashing from a distance Of the jungle,
　　
There was depression in the air, the military flag fluttered in the night breeze, a crackling crackling sound, la la, flashing like light to illuminate the earth, Boai Casa pulled out the saber slowly, held it high, shouted with all his strength "The whole army attacked! The long and heated sound of the trumpet sounded through the sky at the same time,
　　
　　 "Offense!"
　　
　　The non-infantry formations shouted slogans, leaning against the city walls like a tide, behind them. It is revealed that the large siege building just built, the huge arrow cluster baffle and the three-storey height, like a giant beast revealed from the night, below the siege building is the attack line of the phalanx infantry,
　　
　　Because of their hasty preparations, these siege vehicles wobbled when they were simply pushed, but the soldiers below were as slow as the siege tower, and they were 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 wide moat ditch lay in front, like a giant beast with a mouth in the dark. This was once a weapon used to stop the enemy from approaching the city wall, but this time it became a cut-off for blocking the local army. This trench needs to be filled with at least 10,000 troops, "Lift the shield and pay attention to the enemy's arrows!"
　　
Bai Yu heavy infantry lifted the tower shield neatly in his hand, and his pace was firm and powerful. The front line of Bai Yu heavy infantry looked at the city wall from the metal surface that was put down. They saw a stretch of crossbows on the wall, holding the shield. Fingers tightened, that was the metal flash at the front of the Falcon’s arrow cluster, "Your Majesty, do you want to start?" Hu Keqili asked beside the fat man. "No hurry, wait any longer! , We don’t have a second chance to launch an attack!"
　　
　　 The fat man looked cold and looked up again at the gleaming silver sky. A large raindrop began to permeate the battlefield. This rain really came at a time when the breath of spring rain was enough to cover up many things!
　　
The defense of the Bartuni Fortress is very complete, and the supplies are staggering. With only one stone thrower, it reaches 150. If it is a normal siege, it is impossible to reach the city wall without twice the strength. It can be seen It’s just that the non-humans are here to fight against themselves, but the true defense of the city is to make the enemy completely desperate to "go forward!"
　　
　　 The white Feather infantry was accelerating, the heavy armor stepped on the ground thumping, and his mouth gasped
　　
A sparse rain of arrows shot down from the far wall, and dozens of soldiers fell into the ground, but the others continued to move forward. 200 meters in front of them was the moat ditch under the responsibility of Bai Yu heavy infantry, Bai Yu heavy infantry The tower shield is used to fill the pit. Thousands of metal tower shields are dropped, and even the deepest ditch will be covered, 100 meters. The shooting on the city walls began to intensive, crossbow arrows like locusts hit, and Bai Yu heavy infantry holding tower shields desperately forward "bow archer forward, cover!"
　　
　　Boai Kasa raised his hand and shouted loudly, with a smile on his face,
　　
　　 He attributed the attack to the lack of strength of the other party. The Bartoni Fortress is a large fortress capable of accommodating 50,000 people. The other party has only 10,000 troops, spread out on the city walls. There will inevitably be a weak attack. As long as the White Feather Infantry fills the moat, the army behind can be swarmed up. What about the Falcons? Can they fight five each? The strength advantage is the biggest advantage! The other party seems to have picked up a bargain. In fact, it's not a cocoon. If you don't enter the fortress by 10,000 cavalry, it is really a difficult job to wipe out such a dense all.
　　
　　 The winged non-archer started to move. Fifteen thousand archers moved forward neatly in sequence, just approaching a distance of 150 meters. Suddenly, a chill of cold light screamed. The speed of these cold lights is so unresponsive, or it is too late to wait until the reaction comes, and I see dozens of cold lights like the legendary giants shooting the sun-shot arrows clusters with the bow of the sky. Pour in from the archer's queue, "Papapap" flesh and blood flew, powerful giant arrows directly penetrate several archers together. The squeezed flesh and blood was like dragging a long red road among the archers. The scene was extremely tragic. "This is the crossbow car of the Falcon Empire?" The smile at the corner of Boai Casa's mouth solidified instantly, he did not I have dealt with the Falcon Army, but I have heard other colleagues mention this kind of thing. This is a killing machine on the battlefield. No one can block the Falcon Army’s crossbow arrows. Even the heavy infantry shields cannot "the other party has this Why didn’t you deal with heavy infantry?
Boai Casa felt his head was not enough. He looked at the forefront of the white feather infantry and approached the moat. He always felt that something was wrong. If he was on the defensive side, he must be The most powerful weapon will be used to destroy the heavy infantry of the main siege, but the opponent uses a powerful crossbow car to defeat his archer. Why? What is the other party covering up?
　　
100 metres!
　　
50 meters
　　
　　 20 meters,
　　
The non-white feather heavy infantry trot all the way to accelerate, the moat in front was clearly visible, the first row of infantry began to put down the tower shield, when approaching the moat, the tower shield was thrown down in the hand, and the metal shield fell below , Made a weird sound, but in the messy running sound, the infantry did not care about this. They jumped from the place where the shield was dropped, with the shield underneath, they would not be injured, but a pungent The one who jumped in the first row of taste almost fainted. "What is the situation! What is the enemy laying underneath?"
　　
The non-heavy infantry squatted down and groped for a while. Under normal circumstances, there were spikes and various barbs under the moat, but this time, he felt the liquid of China Resources, the black liquid that was almost invisible at night, No wonder no one sees it at all, the smell of nose is here
　　
　　 "Is this?" The gang infantry spread his hands and was confused.
　　
　　 "Shoo" a red light shot down from above the city wall,
　　
　　 "Hoo!" The red light soared into the sky, and a violent flame swept through the moat like a dragon.
　　
Tens of thousands of eyes on both sides witnessed the terrible scene with their own eyes. All the heavy infantry near the moat were lit by the burning fire like candles, just like the fire people were chasing, even if they were rolling on the ground. It's useless, flames burn everything on the moat ditch, all kinds of screams, and even let the two warring parties truce "fire, a big fire!" Some Gangfei soldiers who saw the situation ahead immediately paled, Legs and feet are soft,
　　
Someone couldn't help vomiting, and countless human bodies burned by the fire disappeared in red light, and those who wanted to run were also ignited, and the flame could not be extinguished. "Go forward, retreat the latter to escape!" The non-military officers shouted in panic, but it was useless. The long ditch with flames in front made all the attacking troops feel desperate,
　　
　　 As soon as the non-soldier soldiers began to collapse, the low morale caused the troops to completely lose their fighting will
　　
"Let's start attacking!" The fat man standing on the city wall raised his hand calmly, this time with 10,000 guard cavalry as a transport team, he dragged a thousand fuel bombs and 20 crossbow vehicles, and it was indeed given. Just a big surprise for non-humans, the sound of the chopped cable being cut off behind him, the violent howling, even covering the screaming screams below,
　　
　　Dark sky and rainy night~EbookFREE.me~150 heavy trebuchets and 2,000 longbowmen on the stone pedestal of the fortress fired at the same time, huh! call! call! It was like a huge black sickle swinging violently from the wall, and the metal cold light rain hit the Gangfei infantry queue below. The strong crossbow car steel arrow made the panic Gangfei infantry seem to be a hidden giant. A punch in the front collapsed the bridge of the nose, and the infantry shield directly turned into scrap metal. The entire row of soldiers flew out for several meters, even more than ten meters. The body wearing heavy infantry armor was twisted into an unnatural posture in the air, flesh and blood The body is like paper,
　　
　　 In front of the gangly army that broke up completely, the gate of the fortress made of steel slowly opened,
　　
　　 "Sword out, the whole army assaults!"
　　
　　Foreign general Hu Keqili's sword, the elite guards of the five thousand empire pulled out the guard's long sword neatly, such as light and electricity, and black armored horses swarming out,
　　
The ground trembles violently under the feet, stands unsteadily, the horseshoe bangs near the ears, the neat black armored cavalry is heavy like a towering mountain, and it quickly presses against the non-collapsing array. The non-infantry infantry did not even have the first cry When it was too late to call it, it was lifted off by a huge impact, and then fell under the iron hooves in the back row, which directly turned into minced meat! The front non-humans abandoned their weapons, ran wildly, and over the mountains,
　　
　　 "Lost, why is this, the other party has only 10,000 people, but I have 60,000 people!" In the chaos, Boai Casa was ripped off from the battle immediately by the defeated army, and was finally passed by the warhorse cluster! I don’t even know where I’m wrong!
