Volume II Southern Beacon 1160

"Someone, take an arrow" Out of prudence, Hu Keqi asked the guard behind him to take an arrow, pinching the white tail feathers of the arrow cluster, Hu Keqi turned the arrow cluster in his hand back and forth very carefully, and pulled it hard,

Very strong, with a certain degree of bending, because the main attack power of the Falcon Army is placed on the range, so the fat man is very strict about the manufacturing of arrow clusters, just like the arrow clusters in front of him, in the middle of the arrow shaft also with a subtle mark indicating the construction of the arrow cluster, just like the arrow shaft in front of him has an inverted triangle mark, which is from the manufacturing plant of the three northern counties,

He was also concerned about Pollard next to him, his eyes showed a hint of surprise after glancing at the arrow cluster in Hukochli's hand, and suddenly he said with an epiphany, "I think I know the answer to the Dorok people's collection of arrows!" "Oh, is there anything unusual?" Hukochli turned his head to look at him in confusion

"Come here!" Pollar waved his hand to the guards behind him, the guards walked over, and Pollar pulled out an arrow cluster from the opponent's quiver, "Look, my lord, this is our Western Military Arrow Cluster!"

"Hiss" Hukochili looked at the arrow cluster in Pollal's hand, and suddenly gasped, at this moment, he also knew the purpose of the Dorok people, and the problem was solved, when the two arrow clusters were put together at the same time, the difference between the two was immediately revealed, the same sturdy, but the arrow cluster in Pollard's hand was obviously thick and heavy, compared with the light and strong assault crossbow arrow cluster in Hukoqili's hand,

Not only is the length of the arrow shaft in Pollard's hand longer, but the tail feathers and the triangular iron arrowhead in front are significantly heavier, which is obviously specially made to strengthen the penetration of mountain hunters against the enemy's heavy armored troops, and the assault crossbow arrow cluster in Hukochili's hand is short and sharp because the cavalry target is rarely the enemy's heavy armored troops, so the arrow cluster is short and sharp, and it can exert good power at close range, but if it exceeds 50 meters, its penetration will be greatly weakened "The shooters of our Western Army are all hunters from the southwest mountains.\\ So they weren't used to using crossbows, but rather composite powerful hunting bows!" Polavin explained to Hukochili, "The Great Central Army used crossbows," "so as long as you compare the different clusters of arrows, the other side will quickly know the defensive arrangement on the river, and it seems that the Dorok people also feel that there is more than just one army defending on this section of the river! The weapons and arrows they use are still hoarded in the pre-Rydian period, or maybe the other party wants to use this method to choose a specific target and open a gap,"

"What a cunning opponent!I think I know what they're looking for, they're looking for those Ryordians," Hukochili said with a pale face, "and on this line, those temporarily recruited Ryordian soldiers are undoubtedly the biggest weakness of the line. It is undeniable that these Ryordian soldiers fought bravely, but except for some veterans who had served in the army, most of them were ordinary Ryordian civilians, "These people are simply a group of rookies who don't know anything about the cruelty of war, and the reason why they desperately resist is because their relatives are behind this line of defense, and in the face of the situation that the whole family dies when the line of defense is broken, they bravely and fearlessly fight with the Dorok people." But the lack of necessary experience and blind bravery also led them to suffer the greatest casualties"" Hu Keqili's voice stopped, and said with some confusion, "Compared to the casualties of about 2,000 people in the regular army. In the past two days, the original 8,000 Ruierdian people were counted yesterday and there were less than 3,000 left, and I have ordered these remaining Ruierdian people to be withdrawn from the first line and temporarily arranged in some not fierce second lines as reserves, otherwise I don't know what face to face the Ruierdian refugees who are looking forward to the rear of the defense line when they are counted after the war...... Too many civilians have already been drawn into this war, if there is a silver lining. I'm not going to start a civilian fight!"

"The adult's heart is still too soft!"

Pollard sighed with emotion, his mouth opened, and in the end he still didn't say anything, no one knew the current crisis better than he did now, and after a series of fierce battles, not only did the Western Army do its best. Even the two Central Army Flag Regiments that rushed to the aid later were also pushed to the front line as reserves.

The army staggered for several days, from the very beginning of the battle for the bridge, until the current full-scale offensive, the Dorok people lined up in a sea of attack queues, constantly impacting the falconry's crumbling defensive line, several times, it was the central general Hukochili personally led the guards cavalry to drive down the enemy who broke ashore,

Although the Guards Cavalry is strong, but in such a series of battles, the original 4,000 Guards Cavalry is also exhausted, no matter how good the troops are, they can't afford the consumption of such a bitter battle.

It can be seen from Hukochili's emaciated cheeks that although he can hold the defensive line, the Guards cavalry is also tired and tired, and there are many battle losses, and even Hukochili himself doesn't know whether the next attack will be able to hold on to the extremely exhausted Guards cavalry.

"Order the troops to stop shooting for the time being!"

Out of helplessness, Hukochili issued such an order to the defending troops, the Dorok people's temptation is too insidious, use arrow clusters to identify the army, and when the Dorok people figure out the defensive arrangement, they will inevitably concentrate the main force and launch a key attack on the weak point of the defensive line, in the face of the enemy's key care, Hukochili is not sure that he will be able to bear it,

It was not until sunset that the Dorok people finally stopped their temptation, and seemed to be tired, and retreated back to the west bank from the front line of the tidal flats opposite the river, and saw the sun setting at the end of the river, and the Dorok army slowly retreated, and the falcon soldiers on the east bank of the river breathed a sigh of relief

"Come on, arrange it, and strengthen vigilance tonight!" Hu Keqili was still a little uneasy, and personally patrolled along the riverbank, and the calm Dorok camp on the opposite side was reflected in the light of the setting sun, and the smoke and dust were billowing in the spears like a forest, and the huge camp stretched from the riverbank tidal flat to the dirt slope on the west bank of the river, and the mountains were all over the field, like a wall that overwhelmed people.

This is war, either you die or I die,

Before the other party falls, it is a defeat to fall! Both the Falcon Army and the Dorok have done their best by the side of this river, and all the sharp energy is only tenacity and will

At night. The night was silent, and in the silence of the night, there was only the sound of water flowing on the river, and the sentinels of the falconry patrolled along the river.

"The river is a little rushing tonight!" said a veteran on the patrol with some confusion

"It's a bit of a hurry, it's always a rumbling sound, why is there a little clanging sound tonight!" another patrol soldier glanced cautiously at the surface of the river, the calm surface of which was filled with white mist

There was no moonlight tonight, as a thin layer of mist floated on the water as it was close to the riverbank. The Falcon Army hung strings of torches along the river, in case the Dorok took advantage of the night fog to sneak attack, and the red flames reflected in the misty river water, like a starry sky, making the soldiers a little nostalgic for the night lights of their hometown

"Attention. Enemy attack!"

A terrible shout suddenly came from the guard tower in front, and at the moment when the patrolmen were stunned, it was like a black cloud suddenly floating down from the upper reaches of the river. The huge warship appeared from the white fog, and this scene frightened the patrol soldiers on the shore to almost sit on the ground, and under the light of the torches on the river, I saw the Dorok warships appear one after another, densely packed, and their figures covered the entire river! "Woo woo" represents the sound of the enemy's attack The sirens completely tore apart and looked at the calm of the river, like a stone thrown into the lake, and the entire river beach was in chaos, "Dorok people! boat!" All kinds of panicked shouts rose one after another, along the river bank. The Falcon Army's defense was completely disorganized, and there were people scurrying around everywhere, and everyone was stunned to see the behemoth that appeared on the surface of the river

On the fourth day, a contest that decided the life and death of the two sides kicked off in this way.

When Hukochili rushed out of the tent. What he saw was that the sails on the river were dense like clouds, and the blood-red Dorok battle flag on the side of the ship was fluttering in the wind, and at this moment, his heart almost stopped beating, "Careless!" Hu Keqili's eyes were bloodshot, his fists were clenched, and he stood in the wind with a sad expression,

He finally understood why the Doroks had been standing still all day, just trying to arrange their own army and calling it a day, just waiting for their fleet to arrive.

With a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, he looked at the dark river in the distance, as for where these warships came from, Hukochili had already guessed that there was always an inland river from Paravon to Kulma Fort, which was a fact that everyone knew,

The occupation of Kurma and the transportation of a large number of supplies and troops to the Dorok Mountains through this inland route are an important part of the Falcon Majesty's strategy for Dorok.

But no one expected that the Dorok people in the mountains would go the opposite way and transfer warships from Kurma, the size of these Dorok warships is not strictly speaking, if according to the standards of the Falcon Navy, the size of these warships is comparable to the dragon's tooth ship, but in such a narrow continental inland river, such a warship is enough to control the entire battlefield,

Hukochili could already imagine that the Dorok people only had to build some planks between the warships, and they would be bridges across the river.

And the number of Dorok warships almost covered the bank of nearly 2 kilometers, when such a huge attack surface was completely open in front of the strong front of the Dorok people, what did their weak defenders use to block?"Assemble, prepare for battle!" The camp below was also a mess, knowing that the enemy was about to attack in a big way, the soldiers hurriedly climbed out of their tents, hurriedly sorted out their armor and weapons to prepare for the fight, and the atmosphere instantly became extremely tense. "Whew...... "Pop" a piercing whistling sound swept across the sky,

Everyone looked over in unison, only to see a big stone in the air in an arc and fly towards the river, with a loud bang falling into the water, setting off a huge splash.

Catapults deployed behind the positions have already spontaneously fired at the enemy, and now in this situation, any orders are superfluous, everyone knows that the moment of life and death has come ......)
