"Can't you see it," saw the veteran Tofica speechless in front of his eloquence, and the young adjutant said with a contemptuous expression, "It is no longer the era when there were many countries, and in just two years, they have plundered most of the continent by means of violent conquest."
"After years of conquest and the continuous accumulation of contradictions in the country, the Falcon Empire has already become a strong outsider, and there are countless opponents in his land, as long as we raise the banner of liberation, we will definitely be able to push that tyrant to the ground!"
"What nonsense......"
The corners of Tofika's mouth twitched subconsciously, his obvious garlic nose snorting, and finally decided not to argue with this arrogant and ignorant adjutant,
There is no doubt that Tofika has decided in his heart that if he continues to say this, there will be no results, although the parliamentary army is claimed to be 150,000 troops, in fact, the number of troops participating in the war is only 110,000, and the unique tribal parliamentary system of the Roque people has made this army from the beginning of its formation, like a stunted deformity, and the troops belong to the parliament and the tribe, which leads to the reason why the military order is not uniform.
The clans were mixed with the orders of the parliament, and under the great slogan of the southern expedition, all sorts of ambitions and aspirations were mixed in this army,
There are the southerners who hope to take the opportunity to expand the results of the war and seize more land, there are the parliamentary factions who hope to take the opportunity to unify the forces of the various races, and there are the young radicals from the Dorok aristocracy,
"The changes in the mainland are the time for our generation to rise!"
In the eyes of these young and enthusiastic radicals, the advantages of the Dorok Mountains can be described as quite superior, with the plateau at their back, and the border line connected to Ruierdian and Ryde, these young people who have never been on the battlefield, most of the radicals think. Now is the perfect time for the Dorok Mountains to rise strongly,
They lashed out at the Doroks' centuries-old defensive policy, and instead advocated that they should take the initiative to attack and let the flames of the secondary war burn in other people's lands. The faction was composed of middle- and upper-class aristocrats, mostly young people, who were young, enthusiastic and transformative, and generally had an excellent education at the Paraven College in Raldian. has an unusual understanding of things,
Because they were influenced by the idea of a great power in Rui Erdian, when these young people returned to Palaubun, they were already accustomed to the eyes of a centralized and unified country. to look at the current complex contradictions within Doroke
"The Falcon Army is good at attacking fortresses, and if they all shrink into the fortress, it will be a dead end," the veteran Tofika repeatedly emphasized, although he could see that the young lieutenant was tired of hearing it, and he did not believe that he would be attacked by the Falcon Army.
As the adjutant said, the Pomion region has rugged mountain trails. And the Mid-Levels Fortress is a one-man fortress, and unless the Falcon army is crazy, it will definitely not come to attack here from a long distance
"If you and I can guess the Falcon Army's eastward direction. That's not to talk about the perverted Vicchia Falcon," the veteran Tofika once again refused to sign his name on the mobilization order, which undoubtedly annoyed the youthful radical adjutant
"No wonder everyone calls you that, coward, if those 2,000 soldiers were infected with the plague in the mountains, it was all done by you, the executioner," the adjutant waved his hand in annoyance
"From the day you join the army, death is always something that needs to be faced directly!" Tofika stood up without being salty, no matter what the adjutant said, he scoffed, feeling that what he said was complete nonsense. The young adjutant almost couldn't bear to do it, and it was not easy to endure it. But his face was already very ugly,...,
"Order everyone to cheer up, something may go wrong this time..."Tofika didn't do anything, ignoring the adjutant's angry eyes, and gave orders to the two henchmen standing at the door
However, the voice did not fall. Suddenly. Tofika heard a dull loud noise, which seemed to come from the direction of the fortress gate, and before he could understand it, he heard a huge explosion one after another, followed by a panicked scream, and it seemed that many people were injured. The henchman who walked to the door looked at the position on the left side of the door. Almost stunned. After a long while, he exclaimed, "Enemy attack!"
"Sure enough, it's coming!" Tofika subconsciously licked his somewhat cracked lips,
Ignoring the dumb idiot adjutant standing beside him, he came to the pillar of the room, pulled out the knight's sword hanging from it with a bang, and strode out of the door with a strong back, like a pillar supporting heaven and earth
The chaos has left the entire fortress full of people scurrying around, most of the soldiers don't know what is happening, although this is a military fortress, it has not been attacked for decades,
"I'm the fortress guard officer Tofika, everyone follow me to the city wall!" Tofika was worthy of being an experienced general, and he shouted loudly while holding his flag high, so that the panicked soldiers nearby quickly calmed down, and several guards hurriedly followed him. Running directly towards the location of the fortress gate,
"Hurry up, everyone go up to the wall!"
Seeing that the commander of the fortress was still so brave, the defenders of Dorok, who were dazed by the enemy attack, grabbed anything that could be called a weapon in their hands, and ran towards the city wall as quickly as mad,
Beside them, the captains of the infantry tore open their organ-like throats and shouted, pushing and kicking with their hands and feet until they pushed the last stranded soldier up,
The sky that was originally black has now been stained with a red luster, and more than a dozen places in the city have been thrown in by incendiary bombs and China from outside the city.
About 20 meters away from the fortress gate, Tofika raised his head, and he saw a huge fireball blazing in the air with a dazzling trace, like a meteor smashing on the stables dozens of meters away.
"Papapa" countless fires burst like squeezed watermelons, the sporadic firelight fell on the thatch on the top of the stable, and soon ignited, crackling in the night wind, the panicked neighing of the horses resounded through the night sky, revealing a terrible tragedy, they kept hitting the fence of the stables with their sturdy bodies, and the firelight above their heads was falling, igniting the hay laid on the ground
"Hell. Immediately go and put out the fire, and let all the horses go!" Tofika shouted loudly, horses can be described as very expensive strategic materials in Dorok. The Dorok Mountains do not produce horses, these are all exchanged for trade from the northern steppe people, the mountain roads are tortuous and difficult, and the carriages are difficult to use, so the ancient way of carrying horses has become a very common situation for the Dorok army.
In order to support the great army in the south. Most of the horses of the Dorok Parliamentary Army went to the Southern Army to transport supplies, although these horses in the stables were some bad horses and old horses, but even these were all in exchange for the connections of Tofi cartoon Guò, and the loss of any one of them would mean that the next transportation of food would reduce the ration of about 100 people
"Boom" There was a dull and terrifying sound of rolling thunder, and ten beautiful and bewitching flames bloomed on the walls of the fortress in an instant, and a thin section of the fortress wall was even half collapsed. The soldier standing above screamed and fell from above, and the steep mountain wall in his eyes slammed into the pile of rocks below, and the bright red blood stained the stones...,
"It's the Thor of the Falcon Army!"
Tofika, who had just walked up the city wall, paused slightly. With his fists clenched, his already heavy face suddenly became extremely ugly, and under the bombardment just now, he saw that the city gate had been completely blown over, and in the thick white smoke and rubble, he seemed to be able to see countless soldiers in black armor holding spears, like ants swarming towards the position of the fortress gate.
"Gate, block the gate immediately!" Tofica shouted with a wave of his hand and pointed at the location of the gate with the knight's sword in his hand, and he immediately drew 2 heavy squadrons from his limited strength, about 500 troops, to the front door of the fortress that had been blown to pieces.
These hoplites were the only heavy forces in the fortress, and they wore the heavy matrix chain mail of the Dorok spearmen, and they half-held the huge Zheng-shaped shields used by the Dorok heavy infantry in their hands, and with the assistance of a servant infantry next to them, they could slowly lift the heavy 5-meter spear in their hands.
Use a shield as a support point for the spear. The whole person was covered behind, and five hundred spears five meters long, like a huge circular thorn wall, completely blocked the narrow gate gap,
If anyone dares to rush through the gate, he will be pierced by at least ten spears in an instant.
These sturdy, rock-like heavy infantry are known as the "Matrix", a unique defensive arm of the Doroks.
The hoplites of the Dorok people are different from other countries, because it is a mountainous and dense forest area, and the Dorok army is mostly light infantry, but in order to cope with the brutal siege warfare, the Dorok people also invented a kind of hoplite called the matrix,
These infantry are all composed of tall and strong people, the body is a heavy two-layer connection, the shield in the hand is wide and can almost cover most of the body, the heavy five-meter spear often requires the assistance of two people to be able to lift, once placed on the shield, unless it encounters the impact of an extremely powerful cavalry cluster, such a matrix is enough to make the opposing attacking infantry pay several times the price in vain
Outside the fortress
Blanco, the commander of the Fourth Banner of the Western Legion, was holding his goggles and looking at the reaction in the distance, but instead of looking at the blazing fortress and gates, he decided to take a gamble and bet that the Doroques would arrange an ambush here
The "Boom" entire row of Thor spewed dazzling fire from his side, and the red light shone on his body, merging with the surrounding mountains.
At that moment, the earth roared, and it seemed that the whole night was lit up, as if the mighty gods were speeding through the sky in a chariot, and the flashing light also illuminated a corner of the mountain peak on the left.
There, countless black shadows were crawling among the weeds, coming towards their location, and the reflection of weapons and armor in the night was so obvious
"Hehe, there's a problem!" Blanco put down the lookout goggles in his hand, and ordered behind him with a cold face, "Longbow prepare! Target the slope 210 meters away, cover"
"Squeak" five hundred longbowmen wearing half-body light armor quickly raised the huge half-arc bow of one and a half meters long in their hands, showing a 45-degree angle, the Mitsubishi arrows flashing with cold light, in the flashing firelight around them, like shining red sparks flew out, the collapsing bowstring vibrated with a violent whistling sound, and countless black shadows flew from the queue of longbowmen to the black night sky like meteors
At this moment, it seemed that something was wrong. The black shadow, which was still slowly approaching, suddenly increased its speed, and the arrow cluster above its head also reached the highest peak, quickly turning into a metal turbulence and flying down
"Poof!poof!poof!" The sound of the sharp weapon piercing was so clear in the dark night, and a dull scream of pain also came and went in the direction where the arrow fell. ...,
found that it had been exposed, and all the enemies who had the idea of sneak attack jumped out,
"Rush forward and kill them all!" Realizing that there were only a few archers not far away, the black shadow that came suddenly shouted excitedly,
By throwing the torches, Blanco finally saw the faces of the attacking enemy.
This is a typical mountain lightly armed troops, wearing light leather armor, and the weapons in their hands are also small shields and long swords based on hand-to-hand combat, the number of people is about 2,000 people, and the black pressure is spread all over the slope 200 meters away, and the sharp shot just now made them lie down about 100 people
The scene in front of him still made Blanco take a deep breath of cold air. It can be seen that the Commander of the Dorok is a rather vicious person, and knows the most important thing to solve in siege warfare. It is not the enemy's difficult heavy troops, but the long-range troops located at the rear of the attack sequence, and this unit is arranged on the left side, that is, when it encounters a siege, it will fiercely come behind the besieger, and then rely on the advantage of the lightly armed mountain infantry to quickly leave the battlefield and form a pattern of internal and external containment.
If it weren't for the fact that he felt something was wrong, he followed the battle plan and launched an all-out surprise attack. I'm afraid that this 2,000-strong raid force can easily kill all the Thor troops and the archers behind it, and then it will be almost impossible to rely on the infantry to conquer this fortress based on the mountain
"Ready!" Watching the enemy enter the range of a hundred meters, Blanco raised his right hand again, and this time it was not just the longbowman who pulled the bowstring. Among the weeds in front of the line of archers, fifteen hundred half-crouched heavily armed spearmen looked intently ahead,
The black and dark heavy armor seemed to blend into the night, and even the sharp tip of the spear in his hand blocked the luster with earth.
Only the eyes of the soldiers were full of red killing intent, and the rustling sound of the opponent's feet on the weeds became clearer and clearer as the distance approached, but none of the soldiers moved, like rocks in the weeds in the night
The veterans in charge of the ambush this time knew very well how close they could stab and kill with a single stab, and their queue was like a huge arc, half-crouching in the waist-high mountain weeds, quietly waiting for the prey that was about to be caught.
"Assault, kill them all!"
The Dorok on the other side shouted hoarsely,
Ignoring the oncoming cluster of longbows and arrows, he launched a swarm charge, like a crazy wolf pack that smelled blood,
"Ah" arrows fell like raindrops in the air, and the whole row of soldiers was shot by the arrows, and their bodies trembled and fell to the ground, but the soldiers behind were still marching forward with high morale on the corpses of their comrades,
The rustling of weeds under their feet was like an inspiring war drum, and at Bronco's behest, the longbowmen's firing density became more and more sparse, which undoubtedly inspired the Dorok to the end of the assault,
"Kill!"
At a distance of 30 meters, the wave of Dorok assault was like hitting a, completely stopped,
"Kill"
Countless black-armored pikemen burst out of the waist-high mountain weeds as if by magic, and the sharp spears pierced through the leather armor of the Dorok people in the front row, piercing them into bloody holes like shredding pieces of paper.
The corpse was pierced by the spear in the hand of the black-armored soldier, and then stabbed into the body of the second soldier, and all kinds of screams made the night as terrible as hell.
"There are ambushes!" After dropping a row of corpses, the Doroks retreated in a panic as if they had been knocked with a stick, and they found that the long swords in their hands could not pierce the opponent's heavy armor at all, and the opponent's weapons were so powerful that when a shot was stabbed, almost a corpse fell, and the whole scene was completely one-sided slaughter,
The Doroks were completely stunned, they did not expect that they would encounter a strong resistance at such a close distance from the target, and the officers behind shouted "Rush over!"
Forcibly driving the soldiers forward without fear of death, the two queues collided together, the chaotic crashing sound in the night wind, the smell of blood, as more and more people were killed, the blood had washed away the dirt on the front end of the falcon heavy pikemen, revealing the terrifying tip of the spear that was infected red, plus the thick heavy armor on the body,
"We are surrounded, and the enemy is all heavy spearmen restraining us!" I don't know who shouted, and the ranks of the Dorok people suddenly became chaotic,
The hoplites are the natural enemies of the light infantry, not to mention that everyone knows that the heavy pikemen of the Falcon Army, which were originally designed to fight against the heavy infantry of the Ryordian and the Nords, are the best troops in the army, and are known as the spear tips of the Falcon Army.
"Shoot, don't let one go!" "Blancot" shouted without hesitation (to be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
