The outskirts of Nord Kyoto

The night was quiet, only very faintly starlight, but whether it was starlight or not, not many people were sure.

Today is the 3rd of August' it should have been said that there was bright moonlight, but the sky seemed to be bad, and a large number of dark clouds blocked the moonlight, and the whole sky looked gray, as if it were going to rain, and the air was very sullen, and there was not the slightest wind.

Heaven and earth are like a huge steamer, and even if you don't do anything on it, you will sweat profusely.

In fact, it hasn't rained in Kyoto for half a month, and the sun is shining in the Yorkhua area near Kyoto in the south-central part of the continent when the rains continue to rain continuously.

From the end of July to the present, the sun has dried the earth as if it were smoking, and the moisture on the ground has been completely dried.

In this rare hot season, it is impossible to sleep in such an environment, and even taking a nap is very difficult, and I don't feel very much during the day, and I feel wet and sweaty as soon as I quiet down.

The Yorkhua region is located on a hill on the outskirts of Nord Kyoto, which is second to none in this area, and both the Nords and the Falcon Army seem to have their eyes on this almost bare hill.

The Yorkhua area at night was unusually quiet, and both the approaching Falcon Army and the defending Nord Army were trying to reduce their noise as much as possible so as not to expose their targets

Antodi's fingers rested lightly on the copper buckle of the crossbow, and his eyes were fixed on a moving Nord soldier a meter away, and around him, several senior sniper crossbowmen of the Falcon Army were quietly lurking.

They hid in the ruins between the two armies, using waist-high bushes as cover, quietly sticking out the firing slots of their crossbows, and then lay there motionless.

From a distance, there was no sign of a lurking man, and they looked like wolves, keeping a close eye on the ground ahead, and would pull the trigger at once and shoot a deadly arrow whenever they had the chance.

This was a tactic for the Falcon Army to pull out the Nord castle at a fixed point, but the soldiers of the Marud army were also shrewd'After hundreds of painful snipers in a row, the Nord soldiers also mastered some rules to evade these deadly marksmen.

The senior shooters of these falcon armies generally do not shoot lightly, because these senior shooters of the falcon army are very arrogant, once they shoot, they must take a life, otherwise it will be a very humiliating miss, so as long as they are not exposed to the outside of the castle, these senior shooters generally will not waste valuable shooting opportunities

Watching the target disappear into the battlements of the small castle with great regret, Antodi put down the infantry crossbow in his hand, and gently leaned on the ruins and quietly looked at the black battlefield.

In fact, in such a dark night, where he could barely reach his fingers, he could hardly see anything, and the most he used was his ears, listening carefully to the movements around him. With a stick of grass in his mouth, he put his beloved crossbow down against the wall, and with his right hand, he picked up a small stone and threw it into a bush of grass ten meters away

"Antodi, you bastard......

A low scolding sound was mixed with a muffled sound, and there lurked another veteran shooter, Moraes, who was slowly chewing the dry bitter tea leaves in his mouth, and he was about to fall asleep, but in fact he was not asleep at all.

The Falcon has no plans for a large-scale attack at the moment, and the task of the senior crossbowmen is more to test the holes in the Nord defenses, and all the senior crossbowmen will lurk until the morning and then return to the camp, and report the weaknesses they find to the legion headquarters.

This kind of temptation has lasted for almost 10 days, and under the collection of various intelligence, Varisian has basically figured out the location and troop configuration of the 21 small castles on the front line.

All that was needed now was to wait for the four siege Thor to be transported from the three northern counties, and Varision believed that this kind of temptation could maximize Thor's limited cannonballs, and if not all of them could be blown up, at least a breakthrough could be opened

"Senior Interceptor Shooter Captain Antodi came to report" Antodi stopped outside the military tent, straightened up and gave a military salute to Varisien, who was studying the map inside,

"Come in" Varisian withdrew his gaze from the map and looked up,

"General!" said Antodi, who walked into the tent and stopped in front of Varisian's map

"You came this time because of one thing," Varisian scooped up a report from the table where the map was placed, looked at Antodi with a bright gaze, and asked with a cautious face, "You submitted this report, right? Can you tell me about the specific situation you found? For example, the sound or the specific location at that time, the more detailed the better!"

Antodi quickly straightened up and replied with a look of reminiscence, "The place where I found the anomaly was in a hole 20 meters away from the ruins where I ambushed, it was an accident, I wanted to hide and rest, but I overheard some noises, as if rats were crawling through the ruins, the sound was a bit exaggerated, and the weight of these rats was indeed a bit exaggerated. Vaguely, it seemed that a lot of tiles had been trampled on, and most importantly, I heard the voices of people, not loud, but I can guarantee them in my reputation as a veteran crossbowman, and those voices were definitely the sounds of people talking!"

"Well, thank you very much for your information! you may have discovered a big secret" Varisien looked down in thought as he listened, and then asked Antodi to draw the landmark of the cave where the sound was found on the map,

"My lord, how can you be interested in such a thing?" After Antodi left, an adjutant next to him asked curiously, "It's normal for the cave to have abnormal sounds, it's a war zone now, maybe there are one or two frightened beasts hiding in it!"

"What do you know!" Varisian turned to look at him with a stern face, and tapped his finger on the map, "Don't you think the location of this cave is very special? This cave is no more than a meter from the small castle in the Yorkhua area, and it is only a kc meter from our frontier, which is a vital meter!

"Dig ...... Dig a tunnel!" The lieutenant was obviously frightened, and the others were also attracted by this sentence, Varisian's idea of breaking the Nord blockade by digging a trench had only been told to the fat man, but for the big logarithmic people, Captain Varisian's way of fighting seemed to be preparing for a strong attack, and suddenly asking everyone to dig a tunnel was too unexpected!

Varisien's face was full of sternness, and his tone was full of murderous intent, and he said loudly, "I know you all want to know, how can we break through the defense line of the Nords, now is the time to uncover the mystery, the enemy digs, we also dig, but we dig straight all the way to the city of Nord Kyoto, do you still have any questions about this?"

"No!" Everyone in the legion headquarters hurriedly straightened up and responded loudly in unison, Everyone can hear that the legion commander is serious this time. **...,

"Did you hear? This time the Falcon Army is going to dig a trench all the way to Nord Kyoto!" Rumors about this kind of rumor also quickly spread from the side of the Varisian army, this shocking news, also made the Nord Kyoto side feel very speechless, Varisian, the most cunning fox under the command of the Falcon, this guy's combat style has always been a headache for opponents

"We must use some necessary means to fight back" At the headquarters of the Nord Kyoto Defense, the Nord Minister of War came with the command of His Majesty the Nord King, "If the Falcon army really digs the trench under the city of Kyoto, it will be an insult to the Nord Kingdom and the supreme king" The Minister of War put the king's edict on the table with a sad face

"This is very difficult!" said the commander of Nord, who was in charge of the defense of Kyoto, "Now the troops are scattered to various small castles, and it is difficult to assemble in a short time, and it will take troops to counterattack, and now I have only 3,000 troops left in reserve, and it is still some second-line troops, so I can't let one of them go up!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty has already given the order for the army to assemble, this time we will not draw troops from you!" someone else will be the main attacker," the Minister of War calmly took out an order from his bosom

"What is this?"

"The main force of the counterattack this time is the five thousand Praetorian Guards of His Majesty!" said the Minister of War with a stern face, "You should know that the combat power of these five thousand Praetorian Guards is enough to be worth 20,000 elite soldiers, if it is placed on an assault point, even the Falcon Army will not be able to resist, Your Majesty needs you to provide a point that can be broken through, and provide enough containment in the event of a Praetorian Guard's assault, and the rest will not be left alone!"

"Praetorian Guards! Your Majesty has used the Praetorian Guard!" The Nord defense officer stood up from his seat with a shocked face, the Nord Praetorian Guard is composed of the children of traditional martial artists, all of whom have received strict training since childhood, and their equipment and combat effectiveness are all top in Nord, and His Majesty has scooped out the last force at the bottom of the box, which shows that now the Nord Kingdom has indeed reached the point of running out of oil

On August 13th, it was clear and windless,

On the hill at the front of the Falcon Army, Varisian rode on his horse, staring at the horizon ahead, before the morning light shone across the sky, the red sun rose in the east, and under Varisian's eager gaze, the earth under his feet trembled slightly, and there was a shock on the distant horizon. On the edge of the horizon appeared a swarthy forest,

And the flags waving in the wind were the red cloud bands flying over the forest, and the outline of this forest was constantly wriggling and expanding, and the long black lines that advanced became more and more obvious, and the five thousand Nord Janissaries slowly advanced under the cover of the flanks of the ten thousand local troops.

There were no slogans, no sounds, no other sounds except for the sound of footsteps. p>> p

"Prepare!" Varisian waved his hand to the herald behind him, he expected that the Nords would not be able to hold their breath, but he didn't expect it to explode so quickly, digging trenches and digging under the Nord Kyoto City, such a bold statement means that this place is still 20 miles away from the Nord Kyoto, and there are countless trenches along the way, if you want to dig through the Nords' strong defense line to the city of Kyoto, as long as you think about it, you know how crazy it is, but the Nords' thinking has always been proud,

As the order was given, the mournful horn of the Falcon Army sounded at the same time, and the Falcon Army was also gathering. In the center, on the right and left flanks, a staggering number of 30,000 troops were assembled, like a thick wall blocking the direction of the Nords' advance...,

At about seven o'clock in the morning, the Nord advance reached the predetermined junction line and stopped at a distance of about a kilometer from the Falcons. But there were still bursts of dull footsteps echoing and concussions, which were the follow-up troops coming in a steady stream, and the Falcon army did not move.

The two armies had a tacit understanding to keep a distance of one mile from each other. As the red sun rises on the horizon in the east. The sharp-eyed Nord soldiers could slowly see the formation on the opposite side.

The combined forces of nearly 60,000 troops on both sides gathered in a low-lying area less than ten square kilometers wide, and both armies were observing each other's military appearances, and the soldiers' hearts were beating fiercely

King Yagrolk, who had not appeared for a long time behind the Nord army, was also observing the opponent's army, this was not the first time he had faced the Falcon army, but such a formal battle between the two sides was the first time that the news of defeat came back from Anrod's side, which made the haggard old man suddenly realize that if he hadn't taken any action, the Falcon army from Anrod's side would form a situation of flanking left and right outside Nord Kyoto,

This was the last time Roude unabashedly put all his strength on the table.

The heralds rushed in like a stream, bringing news from the armies,

At about half past seven in the morning, the Nord's armies were ready for battle, and the heralds rushed from the rear, shouting "Advance!" The powdery broken leaves were swept up by the autumn wind, raising a hazy dust mist that covered the eyes of the soldiers of the two armies,

Tens of thousands of Nord heavy infantry began to speed up, and the bright rising red sun shone on the armor of the Nord soldiers, shining brightly and dazzlingly.

"Ready!" On the Falcon side, the soldiers also clenched their spears tightly, and their breathing became fierce and rapid. The face looked both stern and cold, the huge siege shield was propped up, the steel shield shone in the daylight, and behind it was a neat forest of guns pressed by black,

The sharp one-foot-long blade exudes a chilling murderous aura, and a sharp horizontal spear made of stainless steel. Even in the face of the heavily armed knights, the crossbowman half-crouched in the gap between the shield walls, his blazing eyes staring at the long line pressed on the opposite side like arrows. The arrows on the crossbow shimmered in the sunlight, looking like a silver river from a distance

"It's!"

Yagrolk's bloodshot pupils suddenly dilated, looking at the boundless ranks on the opposite side, looking at the left and right wings on the opposite side like the wings of a giant bird, and looking at the countless black eagle flags fluttering in the wind, the monarch who had been crisscrossing the continent for many years suddenly felt a sudden palpitation, for the first time, he had a faint foreboding, he didn't know that he was facing the strongest military formation of the Falcon Army, completely relying on the feeling of being beyond ordinary people

At this moment, the opposing military formation suddenly changed, and a group of archers wearing red armor suddenly appeared from the opposite military formation

"Shoot!"

The three thousand extremely taut bowstrings made a muffled sound that tore through the air in a first-order formation, and the special long arrows that burst out of the Dao Rotation of the Dao collided with the formation of the Nord heavy infantry charge, and the sound of the cracked cloth made the faces of the Nord people pale, this was the sound of the arrows tearing through the air forcefully

"Ah" A heavy infantry was hit head-on by a cluster of arrows, and the powerful impact directly shattered his sturdy helmet, penetrating through his forehead, his entire head was blown to pieces by a powerful force, and the corpse rolled out more than ten meters,

Three thousand thumb-thick longbows and arrows are like a big net, tearing the Nord heavy infantry rushing to the front into pieces, often an arrow pierces the body of a Nord heavy infantryman, and the remaining strength is not reduced to insert into another heavy infantry, the soldiers in the front rows are almost all covered with arrows, and the Nord army that is accelerating is like a dam that has been knocked open, and people are piled up and people fall in a line, and at least more than 800 corpses have been dropped in a short distance of two hundred meters,

"Thorn Tile Longbowman!"

There was a gasp in the Nord army, although there was no fighting,

But everyone has long heard of the reputation of the strongest archers in the Falcon Army, it is said that this kind of longbowman can penetrate the heavy armor of cavalry and infantry within KC meters, and even shields can penetrate within 50 meters.

"Retreat, retreat now!"

>α>The Nord army, which was still imposing just now, was like being slapped on the head, and they were scared and panicked

The rumbling footsteps suddenly stopped, and only the white arrow tail trembled in the cold wind between heaven and earth, and in the first confrontation, at least more than 2,000 Nord soldiers became victims in a daze,
