Realm of Power

The four towering and thick outer wall pillars of the Paput King's City are all made of the strongest granite. They extend out of the inner and outer two-story city walls that are as high as superimposed. In front of the city wall, a series of temporary siege towers are in the dark. An array of Feize troops moved slowly, and huge slings roared from a distance, hitting the wall of the royal capital fiercely, testing the defense power of the royal capital of Paput, which had made the enemy stunned many times.

"shooting!"

On the city wall, a dense rain of arrows shot out from the sky, and at the same time, they fell in fatal arcs towards Feize's army. The arrows hit the cold shield and bounced away like water waves, then penetrated into the city. Feize's charging ranks were instantly overturned like a wheat field hit by hail. However, compared to the huge number of enemies, such long-range attacks were obviously unable to suppress them. On top of the earthen ramparts under the city wall, countless Fezer soldiers set up siege ladders like ants, waving their weapons and shouting as they climbed up. , like a nest full of ants clinging to a huge sugar cube, "Press it down!"

The heavy infantrymen of the Paput Kingdom standing in the front row held up their shields, like an iron wall.

The thick-bodied Papt heavy warrior took turns with a flail with thorns and blood in his hand. He unceremoniously emerged from the crenellation of the wall. Feize's soldier slammed it at him. "Poof", he saw a blood explosion in front of the city wall, and the flail The blow hit the body, and even the heavy armor couldn't withstand it. Suddenly, the body was covered in red and white. The dirt exploded inside the armor, and all kinds of broken limbs fell from high places. However, there were too many Fezer soldiers climbing up, and the Paputs had no time to retract their flails. The Fezer spearmen who rushed up had already thrown their spears in. The bodies of these strong Paput men, with blood falling like rain on the faces of the soldiers on both sides,

"Come forward!"

"Press it down!"

Massacres were rolling down on the outer wall like a chaotic mess. Everyone was holding a bloody melee weapon. The dark people crowded together, filling the colliding battle lines. The Fezer people pressed them regardless of life and death. On the top, heads were rolling. pbtt It was like a flood trying to break through the defense of King Papute in front of them. There were piles of blood and blood, and there were pools of blood everywhere on the walls and roads, which were trampled red by countless footprints. The dying man is still crying and struggling. Before he could completely fall down, he was stabbed into the body by various weapons from the opposite side, including everyone in between. The only thing that can still be thought of in my mind is wielding a weapon.

The corpses of soldiers from both sides piled up quickly here, and blood continued to flow down the slope of the city wall where they were fighting. The ground had become muddy in the rain a few days ago, and now it was even more wet and slippery. People who fell from the city wall would still roll into a ball in the muddy water as long as they were not allowed to fall to death! There are also unlucky people who fall on the spears of their own people,

"Lord Varov, the captain of the fifth squadron of the Fourth Army, was seriously injured!" "Lord Freder, the captain of the seventh squadron of the fifth army, died in the battle."

The report of battle damage from the front made Fei Zejun Commander-in-Chief Ao Mu's expression stern, his thin cheeks as hard as a knife. Next to him was a good-looking young man, wearing a gorgeous and pure black armor. Appearing to be extraordinarily heroic, the young man looked at the brutal battle in the distance, stared at the impact line made entirely of human corpses, and swallowed hard.

"General Omu, is it really possible to continue fighting like this?" The young man hesitated. Although he had been on the battlefield, he had never had the opportunity to see a bloody battle like today. It was like a battlefield meat grinder, each and every one of whom was alive. The regiments drove up, leaving behind piles of flesh and blood. One wave collapsed, and another wave came up. Such a rapid and massive consumption, even if Feize's army had 200,000 people. I also began to feel the pressure. I filled in more than 20,000 people in one morning, and only one tenth of it was lost. However, the results obtained still only focus on the battle for the city wall. What is going on? It is not about the garrison strength of King Papt's capital. Are there not many left? So what is fighting with the army under his command?

"Your Highness, the order has been issued and cannot be changed casually, especially under the current circumstances, because this is the last strength of the entire army. Once it is lost, I don't know what will happen!" Omu raised his face calmly. With one hand, he asked the cavalry behind him to order another regiment to be pushed up.

‘We can completely evacuate and go back the way we came! "The young man who was called His Highness glanced slightly. He is the eldest prince, but the commander-in-chief of this battle is Omu, so he can only choose to obey, but he does not think Feize's 200,000-strong army will definitely defeat him. I have to hit my head and bleed under the capital of King Papt. With an army of 100,000 in hand, they can return calmly. How dare the Paputs who have been trapped in the royal capital come out to pursue them? However, Omu rejected his proposal at the meeting, and the other generals actually chose Omu. The purpose of the order is to fight against the royal capital of Paput.

How could he be happy watching the elite teams of the kingdom being consumed like this? According to his assumptions, although he did not capture the capital of Paput, he had at least reached the capital. The reason for his final retreat was for the strategic consideration of preserving the kingdom's combat power, which would not affect his reputation. Damage, on the contrary, he has achieved such brilliant results in his first command of an army, which just proves his extraordinary military ability. Why should he let himself fight against the capital of Paput just for that little bit? What is the so-called glory of a soldier? His Highness the Grand Prince has determined that Omu is causing a sudden increase in casualties to the army for his own selfish reasons.

"Your Highness, if I could go back, I would have ordered the evacuation long ago!"

Omu was very clear about His Highness the Grand Prince's dissatisfaction. After being silent for a while, he said, "Our army has gone too deep. If we return along the original route, I'm afraid there will be no chance of returning to Feize. There are still three Falcon Empires to the north." Thousands of cavalrymen are on the line of Paput coast. They are waiting for us to evacuate. As long as we give the order to evacuate, our army will no longer be able to control it in the chaos. Even an army of 200,000 people will be unable to control it. It's just a piece of loose sand. Hundreds of miles away on the Paput Plateau, our army will have no place to hide. Just like at the end of the North-South War, hundreds of thousands of coalition troops will be crushed by the imperial cavalry as soon as they lose their fighting spirit. , when it comes to pursuit operations, no one in the entire continent can be the opponent of the imperial cavalry. The Paput Plateau is our burial place. On the contrary, our army stormed the capital of Paput, which the other party could not have imagined."

Omu's voice paused and continued, "As long as the Royal Capital is captured, this war will end. With the support of the Paput Royal Capital, we can wait slowly for the arrival of domestic reinforcements. By then, even the Imperial Army will We can only watch helplessly. This is the safest way at present. If you want to return to Feize, the first thing you need to do is to find a support point that can avoid the cavalry attack. The Paput King’s Capital in front of you is the best."

"But the casualties of our army..."

"Instead of dying under the hooves of the imperial cavalry, it would be better for them to die gloriously on the wall of Paput!" Omu took a deep breath and tightened his hand on the riding whip. "Your Highness, you should trust your subordinates. Each of the generals has experienced hundreds of battles. Although they are now under the capital of King Paput, they are all like me and can already feel the roaring spears of the imperial cavalry like meteors, so. They stood by me without hesitation.”

As for the city wall, Ruosanwek's face became more serious. The combat effectiveness of the Papt Army was really a bit sluggish. Although it had a royal capital garrison of 30,000 people, under the full force of Feize's army, the casualties were almost total. Straight up, Feize people are really risking their lives this time, this Feize elite army has been fighting fiercely for more than a month. Finally glowing with the nature of a blood beast." The seventh and ninth garrison teams in the royal capital requested to withdraw, and the eleventh garrison team was completely destroyed. ""The Royal Swordsman Corps of Lanlis has collapsed, and Marshal Langlis was seriously injured. "Even Kingdom Marshal Langlis was seriously injured and was carried down. The heavy swordsman regiment with a full strength of 6,000 people was directly overwhelmed. It was the swordsman regiment directly under the Paput royal family, similar to the king's royal guard. ,

"Your Excellency Ruose, I'm sorry, the performance of our army is really...!"

Marshal Langlis of the Paput Kingdom was lying on a wooden board covered in blood. He was carried to the side of Rothean Vick by two equally embarrassed Papt knights. His face was full of shame. This old man, about fifty years old, had his armor deformed and dented after being beaten. He was vomiting blood, and there were seven or eight flung arrows hanging in the gaps between the armor leaves on his body. The left arm was not completely covered, and an armor-piercing arrow penetrated deeply. The arrow shaft was broken off, and a piece of dirty linen was pulled out and wrapped around it. Fortunately, the marshal of the small country is wearing armor made by the empire, otherwise he would be a hedgehog covered with arrows now.

The empire is famous throughout the continent of Opalo for its sharp long-range attacks, so the imperial army's standard armor also has maximum defense against the opponent's long-range arrows as the first requirement.

After several improvements, the heavy armor of the Imperial Army absorbed the characteristics of the combination of Zhongbia scale armor and heavy plate armor. Except for the special fatal parts, it was equipped with light mirrors similar to the Zhongbia scale armor. Even the thick ones were The stabbing spear can be deflected, and there is a layer of soft silk under the armor.

This design can effectively reduce the friction between the nail plate and the skin, making the wearer more comfortable. It also has a special effect on the penetration of arrows, because most arrows are often useless after penetrating the outer armor plate. The impact is too big, there is silk to block it, even with a silk diamond After entering the flesh, you only need to pull the silk to pull out the inserted arrow, without the need for complicated and painful surgical operations. With this layer of softened silk wrapping, the pain caused by sharp objects is actually not obvious. , after excessive bleeding, there was a numbness in the injured area. It was as if his right arm suddenly became ten times heavier. Only when I was waving, did I feel the swelling pain one after another.

"Marshal, there is no need to worry about it. As a soldier, you have done your best."

No matter how much he despises the fighting power of the Paput Army in his heart, Northanvik will not break the heart of this old man. The reason for this situation is not entirely due to the combat effectiveness of the Paput Army, but because no matter who suddenly confronts the two One hundred thousand mad dogs who were forced into a dead end would probably be the same.

These 200,000 mad dogs are Feize's army who are trying to climb up the city wall even if they are trampling on the bones of their companions. This is the seventh day of Feize's army besieging Paput's capital. The Emperor of the Falcon Empire goes south, and the Central Eight-Nation Team Fezer declared war. These news were enough to tilt the entire war situation, and finally made the original Still thinking about the surrender of the Paput people, Feize's entire army decided to make a desperate move and conquer the capital of Paput at all costs. The capital of Paput was completely unprepared for a deadly battle. Although Feize's army surrounded the capital, but at the beginning I still proposed negotiations, but who knew that it would turn into a fight to the death in the blink of an eye?

Now both the Paputs and the Fezer people know one thing very clearly. The victory of this war is determined by time. The Central Eight-Nation Alliance declares war at the same time, which is equivalent to cutting off the retreat of 200,000 Fezer troops. If the Fezer people If he didn't fight to the death, he would be waiting for death. Fei Zejun, who was forced to die, decided to use his life It is understandable that the emperor wants to take a chance. It does not matter if the Emperor of the Falcon Empire goes south or the eight central countries declare war. As long as the Paput capital can be invaded and the Paput people sign the surrender agreement, Will the Falcon Empire still engage in a large-scale decisive battle with Fezer for the benefit of a small and perishing country? No, although the Falcon Emperor is powerful, he never dares to do something that does not have enough benefits!

"That's it, please." Marshal Langlis nodded awkwardly. The fall of the outer wall was equivalent to pulling the battle line to the second line currently in charge of the Imperial Bank Guard Flag Team. The overwhelming arrows, from the Imperial shooter The fingers were like the cold stars in the sky drawing a gorgeous arc in the sky, and then fiercely plunged into the Feize soldier's body on the outer wall, tearing open the Feize soldier's armor, piercing into the flesh fiercely, bringing up a cloud of blood mist, A group of people fell from a height "Second team ready"

The squadron leader responsible for commanding the Imperial Army stood on the pillar fort, spat out a mouthful of bloody spit, and continued to raise his hand. He looked at the raised hand of his captain, and the Imperial archer focused on the crossbow and read the string. Load the arrow, pull the trigger, and with the trembling sound of the crossbow string collapsing, short arrows with triangular drill bits fly out again, and are submerged in the turbulent metal confrontation on the outer wall. There is no need to distinguish between friend and foe, because even if There are also Paputs on it, who will also be torn into pieces by the huge number of Fezers.

"The outer wall has been taken down!" The Fezer Army was excited. Although the imperial army's crossbows caused heavy casualties to the Fezer Army, the Fezer Army also learned the lesson of the Fourth Army's failure in Caneloa and cut down Large tracts of woods were made into wooden shields, and huge tree trunks were tied together and erected as arrow shields, and bows and arrows were sent out at the same time. Using arrows and shields as cover, he launched an exchange of fire with the imperial archers on the city wall. In the end, at the cost of more than 20,000 casualties, he concentrated the two most elite legions and broke through the outer wall of King Papt's capital in one fell swoop. At this moment, Feize's army's all-out attack seems to have filled every corner of the surrounding world, and victory is just around the corner.

"Your Highness, if there are no accidents, we should be able to win it this afternoon!" Commander-in-Chief Ao Mu of Fei Zejun looked away from the fighting city with a smile on his lips (To be continued.)
