Obaro mainland, southwestern border, Ruilin fortress outpost

"Captain, will the non-humans really come? It's been three days, and I haven't even seen a ghost shadow!" The young sentry Mokad stood curiously on the top of the hill, looking out at the plain below

The arrival of late autumn gave the mountains with yellow. The defensive wall of the fortress is solid granite. The soil that has been heavily rained only last night. Under the sunshine, the vague white smoke evaporates, and when seen from a distance, it seems that the earth is smoking, light The smoke drifted with the breeze, making everything around him unreal

"It's not clear, the above order, no matter what, you must call jīng God first!"

Beside Mokad, a 30-year-old middle-aged veteran stretched his limbs, lifted an infantry crossbow from under his feet, aimed at a chirping sparrow against the sky, put down the crossbow, and found Mokad a little nervous , Laughed, "Don't be so nervous, we are just a fortress outpost. If the non-humans really come, their goal is to be a fortress, not our broken tower on the top of the mountain!"

"Although I know it, I'm still a little nervous!" Mokad said awkwardly

"Nervous? Do you need it? I can safely say that if you don't want to come, you will be beaten badly when you come!" Veteran Lincoln Tower scorned his lips and raised his finger to the mountainside position. Ruilin Fortress said, "Now it is not your Southwest Army's defense of this place. This time it was directly defended by the Imperial zhōngyāng Army. It is said that there were hundreds of Thors withdrawn from Rasti, and this time it was the Thors. Installed on the fortress of Ruilin Fortress, what else are you scary?"

"Raytheon! Really!" The recruit Mokad looked excited. He was a soldier of the Southwest Army. After the reorganization of hundreds of thousands of Southwest Army, only 30,000 soldiers were left. The other soldiers would either disband and go home. Or else, it is incorporated into the local army to be responsible for maintaining regular security. After all, the development of Southwest has been hit hard in the war, and the strength of more than 100,000 people can have an immediate effect on stabilizing the hearts of people in Southwest, and on the development of Southwest economy and agriculture.

During the Battle of the Southwest, Mokad had seen the power of the Falcon Army Thor, no matter how strong the flesh and blood. Under the power that shakes everything, it is irresistible. Those dense assault teams, under the fierce artillery fire of the opponent, are simply group suicides. Every fireball falls. It means the end of several lives, even the bones are gone. The jīng sharp infantry, which commanders are proud of, are equally difficult to escape

The current location of Mokad and Lincoln Tower is the highest point of the left wing cliff wall of Ruilin Fortress. Even without the lookout, you can see the distant land in front of the fortress.

In front of the fortress, there is a winding road that leads to the unknown distance, this road. Guarding the most important northeast throat of the southwest border, countless people's corpses and blood were once left. It was from this road that the inhumans had just burst into the southwest.

After receiving the report of the success of Navy Secretary Dusteren Kage's attack on the island, the fat man knew that his war with Gangman had broken out

Gang Fei has always been eyeing the Southwest, the battle of the Southwest. The imperial navy severely damaged Gangfei’s navy, and now even directly occupied the hub of Kathyli Island, blocking the Gangfei’s road from the sea and land to the southwest. The only way now is by land. With the transfer of two empire zhōngyāng troops to Ruilin fortress, two Thor squadrons directly under the zhōngyāng army entered the fortress. These are the troops that have just been withdrawn from the Rasti area, combat experience and combat morale Are at the top

"How is Gang Fei's reaction?"

Inside Ruilin Fortress, the fat man raised his head and gazed at the huge military map hanging on the wall, inquiring about the southwest governor Salon

"Three days ago, there was an unusual movement in the garrison that was just outside the border! The border guard, which originally had only 30,000 people, increased to 70,000, then it became 110,000 yesterday, and it was frequently sent to our border defense line. "Scout" the solemn report of God Saron

"Border defense? What are the main positions?" The fat man frowned slightly.

"From Yame in front of the Ruilin fortress to Barone, the length is 50 miles!" God Saron replied respectfully. "The garrisons in these two areas are the previous southwest troops, and there are not many troops, only less than The strength of 20,000 people, but as the Gauls' first line against Gangfei, they have very strong barrier groups. The last time the Gangfei entered the southwest, they entered from here. All the barriers were evacuated by Gangfei Being destroyed is not an advantage for our army!"

"Since you do not have an advantage, then withdraw!"

The fat man issued an order with certainty, saying, "We cannot enter the two-line battle ahead of time. In the Gaul-Kyoto area, Hu Keqili should be able to grasp the rhythm of negotiations with the Gauls, which will make the Gauls temporarily not notice us. A sudden battle with Gangfeiren,

"As long as the combat time is short enough, we can completely solve the problems in the southwest before the Gauls respond, and the necessary retreat can let Gang Fei follow up. We need to be able to make a final victory, enough for Gang Fei to artificially Frightened, and finally gave up peeping into the Southwest!

"Your Majesty means to put Gangman into the border first? Then defend and counterattack!"

"Not letting go, but tempting!" The fat man raised his hand and clicked on the map on the wall. He ordered the troops in the area in front of the Ruilin fortress to withdraw from line to line, and gave up the line from Yamato to Barone little by little. Give Gangfei people a little sweetness, so that they will unconsciously come to the direction of Ruilin Fortress! Bring all the Gangfeiren border guards, we are waiting for them here, we will defeat their border guards here Army, and then directly into Gangfei territory, so that Gangfei talents will feel afraid, they can not touch us, but we can hurt them heavily!"

"It turns out that the subordinates understand!"

Saron nodded with a smile. As the governor of the Southwest, he also hopes to solve the hidden danger of being impersonal in advance. After all, the main role of the Southwest is to serve as an important logistics base for entering the hinterland of the Gaul Empire. The goal of the empire is still Gaul. It is not wise to start a full-scale war with Gangfei, and if it is not possible to directly invade Gangfei, the two-line battle will make the Falcon Empire fall into a very unfavorable situation.

In this way, the border garrison that received the order began to withdraw orderly

A team wearing silver-shining mail armor and a serpentine sword on their waists scolded some of them dumbly and looked at the empty land in front of them. These lands were once the buffer zone on the southwestern border, and the battlefield where the two sides scouted the cavalry for multiple confrontations. How many colleagues donated blood and stained the dust here

"It seems to have taken the initiative to retreat!" Gang Fei's scout captain carefully observed for a while, then the corner of his mouth said unnaturally. "Did something happen in the southwest?

"Captain, what shall we do?" asked the scout cavalry beside him

"Reported to the Legion Department, this matter is a bit strange anyway!"

The captain of the scout waved his hand, and there was some slack in the gods, and they reported the situation. The response was to immediately occupy the evacuated area. After continuously occupying one end of the border, the Gangfen Fifth Army, which was in charge of the border defense, began to enter the second line of defense of the border.

Gangmiya, the chief of the Fifth Army Regiment, is an experienced combatant. He has planned a strategic advance to the southwest many times. He is very familiar with this fortress located in the throat. He stands in the distance and looks at the fortress. , Eyes full of complex emotions. When the non-Army forces withdrew from the southwest because of the fighting forces, he once destroyed the Ruilin fortress that kept the road, but he did not expect that the Falcons would take over the southwest. The new fortress was rebuilt immediately,

The new fortress in front of him, although much smaller than the previous large fortress, was like a pentagonal edge. Let all the cities be under attack, which is obviously more suitable for the guards to play, and the defense will not rise but rise.

Although the original Ruilin Fortress was dangerous, it did not completely block the road to the southwest, but now, this new fortress has abandoned its huge volume, but it is just stuck in the middle, and it is slowly undulating on both sides of the fortress. The mountains stretch slowly towards the north and south. However, this gentle extension suddenly became steeper at a distance of less than two kilometers, and the composition of the mountain is no longer soil, but granite with moss. The strength of these granites is very hard and new. The fortress construction is obviously the stone used here. The two wings of the fortress have been closely connected with these granite mountains, just like a giant with open arms, cutting off the road from the non-human to the southwest, wanting to enter from here Southwest, the fortress must be destroyed,

"Order the army to gather!" Ramia estimated the defense of the fortress and felt that although it had been strengthened, it was only a small fortress after all. Under the pressure of the army, it was as fragile as a piece of paper.

"Is Lord Lamia going to attack?" a subordinate asked

"It's true!" Lamia smiled irresponsibly. The news about the Navy's defeat has already spread throughout the Gangfei army. The Emperor Gangfei was furious for the fall of Kathyli Island, blaming the navy for its ineffectiveness, but the navy's main force Has been transferred to the south to participate in the joint operations of allies. It is difficult to transfer in wartime. The Gangfei Emperor can only put hope on the army. The Gangfei Fifth Army Corps, which is responsible for border defense, has just received an order to seek fighters and take revenge on the southwest. Action, if you can open the southwestern gate again, His Majesty the Emperor will launch a third personal expedition to the southwestern region

End of august

Gangfei troops entering the border began to gather in front of Ruilin fortress

The lights are like stars, the hazy moon has risen into the air, and in the wilderness, countless tents and branches have been erected, like a forest suddenly appears on the flat ground, between the camps. In the open space, the cotton-like mist was blown by the wind, and everything became hazy. Except for the 70,000 people of the Gangfei Fifth Army, in mid-August, I felt that it might increase again when I entered the southwest again, the Gangfei Emperor An additional 50,000 people from Gang Fei Third Army were added, and a total of 120,000 Gang Fei troops spread out in front of Ruilin Fortress

The fat man raised the look-up mirror in his hand and examined the lineup of Gangfei from the lens

At the beginning of the Southwest War, the Northwest Navy was responsible for the counterattack at sea. This was the first time that the Army had confronted the country. As a Gang-African empire that confronted the Gauls of the Nordic Barrow overlord for 100 years,

The fat man needs to get a more accurate assessment. The look glass he uses is the third generation of the look glass of the Imperial Navy.

It is more dense and distant than the one I used earlier, and the objects three kilometers away seem to be in front of me, and even every movement of the swaying dogtail grass in the breeze can be seen clearly. Chu.

In the distance, the Gang-African army is at a distance of 500 meters, and the array is overwhelming. The first to appear in the sight of the observation mirror is the black army flag that the Gang-Nan people are waving in the wind. Eye-catching.

Follow the military flag moving at high speed. It’s a group of wind-curly clouds that are generally flying out of the non-cavalry. They wear light silver armor, with a golden feather on the top of the helmet, and the weapon behind them is not a cavalry lance, but a nail hammer with a special broken armor.

The cavalrymen each held a black flag in their hands, and appeared on the ground with ease, the flying horseshoe, the silver armor, and the flag fluttering in the wind. The wind entered the open space in front of the fortress.

It was a stretch of land, empty, only countless dogtail grass stretched their bodies in the wind. The dense horseshoes of the non-cavalry stepped over the grass of the dog's tail and plunged them all into the muddy land.

This team of cavalry stopped in front of the fortress, Yaowuyangwei laid out a straight line, hundreds of flags flew in the wind, and it was the tradition of the flags to erect before the siege.

"Idiot!" The fat man snorted in disappointment at this apparently bad practice that was still preserved in the age of knights, and put down the lookout mirror in his hand. Said coldly behind him, "Ikasa, get rid of those flag bearers"

"Yes, my majesty!"

The long bow flag squadron leader Ikasa's mouth widened, showing a cruel smile.

Just 200 meters away, the non-light cavalry who held the military flags were promoted, and they talked and laughed easily. Suddenly, there were several sounds from the oblique rear. Well-trained light cavalry can naturally hear the sound of sharp arrows breaking through the air. Immediately after that, they did not wait for their response. Then I heard a few mumbles. Immediately following the sound of "Giggle...", it was the sound of a few unlucky ghosts whose throats were worn by people

"Pa" a dozen military flags rolled down with the corpse from the battle horse,

Looking at the former companion, he grieved painfully holding the arrow shaft inserted into the throat. Several flag bearers saw dumbfounded. They still couldn't figure out the sharp arrows from there, and then several sounds of arrow feathers breaking through.

This time the flag bearers were ready to squat down quickly on the warhorse, and immediately heard the three sounds of "Ding Ding Ding". After the sound of the arrow breaking through the armor, several people fell in pain, but It was Arrow Feather who wore the armor of the cavalry directly, this time, it was still the throat.

"Damn..., spread out! The flag hussars roared in a panic, an uproar, and shouted back loudly

"It seems that the other party is not easy to deal with." Lamia, who was standing in line in the distance, stared at all this with dignity. Under his 73,000 army, 110 infantry squadrons had already formed a team of 1,000 troops. The flag bearer's fleeing made him dare to be a bit more bearish. No one had thought that the opponent's hand would have such a long distance. Now it is already difficult to ride a tiger. The army is ready to attack and spit directly. At this moment, the air passes There was a sharp voice across the sky,

"Boom"

A thunder **** fell on a large number of assembled non-infantry infantry, bursting a thick black smoke, in the vicinity of the black smoke, objects flew up, some flew high into the sky, and then in the crowd In his gaze, he fell with irregular curves. There were broken corpses and wreckage, as well as a whole war horse that had been blown up, broken lances, and countless dust and gravel.

Especially the inhuman weapon xìng weapon snake-shaped sword, it is like the leaves flying in the blast of the air, fluttering, making various rotating postures in the air, but in the end, the top is down Slammed into the cháo's moist but red blood stained soil.

"What is this?" Ramia was completely stupid, and the torrent of the non-military array was cut off in an instant, and there was no time to react.

Lamia suddenly felt that the sky seemed to be torn apart, and there seemed to be countless sharp objects piercing the dull sky. It was a voice with a breath of death, like the roar of death, and like a ghost crying wolf released from hell.

Booming

A whole row of white smoke from the walls of Ruilin Fortress came out, and a whistle of white light slammed into the crowd of gangs of non-human beings. A continuous explosion exploded, and waves of smoke enveloped the ground in front of the fortress. There became a smoky smoke. In the diffuse smoke~lightnovelpub.net~ The fire caused by the explosion seems to be more dazzling than the sun just now. Every red light-like explosion seems to cause the earth's vibration, and the continuous explosion seems to be the earth. Trembling.

In the smoke of smoke, Thor fell into the queue of the non-human as if it were raindrops. Turned that area into a dead sea of ​​blood and fire,

The non-soldier was blown dizzy and ran around, but there were too many people. The queue of more than 100,000 troops was completely chaotic and crowded together.

Suddenly came and exploded, it came so fierce,

Directly and simply, harvesting countless lives, the scorching hot waves rolled down like rows of flies, not just infantry,

There are many Gangfei soldiers who have not even understood what is happening, but have already crushed their bones.

The dense explosion broke into a wall of fire visible to the naked eye, cutting off the distance of 500 meters to 700 meters. Almost instantly, the land was filled with all kinds of corpses, and the fierce artillery fired the cavalry. Both the horses and the war horses were torn apart, and the horses were frightened and rushed, rushing through the panicking crowd, trying to cross the blockade of death. The chaos caused is no less than the explosion
