Realm of Power

"The catapult has collapsed, run quickly." Fezer's soldiers ran under the wooden frame of the catapult that exploded like raindrops, and the broken wood flew across the crossbow.

In order to be able to smash through the solid earth barrier on the opposite side, each catapult was built to be huge. The supporting base alone was three to four meters long, and the horizontal long arm was nearly ten meters long. The soldiers below were pulling the winch with all their strength. Watching helplessly, the nearly ten-meter-long arm suddenly pressed down They came down, completely unprepared, in a mess, running in panic, but before they ran a few meters away, white lines with violent roars had already crossed the mist-filled river in front, like a sudden arrival. A heavy rain fell on their heads,

"Retreat, retreat." The Fezer troops behind were so frightened that they ran backwards without any orders, and automatically distanced themselves from the catapult troops in front. Everyone could see that the target of these imperial heavy crossbows was The catapult troops were too forward, and the area near the collapsed catapult was already a mess of blood and flesh. Broken limbs and arms were everywhere. The wounded soldiers were wailing on the ground, blood mixed with the river water, and amidst the eardrum-piercing whistling sound , Feize looked blankly at these thick arrows made of all metal, and almost in the blink of an eye, more than twenty catapults were smashed into an ant's nest. The huge impact directly crushed the wooden shelves where the catapults were scattered. Some heavy crossbow arrows did not hit the target, but plunged into the Feize crowd behind them. The powerful impact was not inferior to the impact of the heavy cavalry, and they immediately dragged up bursts of blood in the crowd.

Under these metal arrows, the human body is as thin as paper. Only flesh and blood are seen flying everywhere, crying for father and mother, and the miserable cry for help is "Help me, save me", but no one goes up to save the person. , everyone is running, even those catapults that have not been attacked, but have been opened. At this moment, the expressions of the operators next to them were also hesitant and defeated. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to run, but their legs were weak from fear.

"Ignore the catapults and retreat immediately!" Omu gave the order with a serious expression. He did not expect that the Imperial Cavalry would even carry such an infantry combat weapon. Although the opponent's attack only covered the entire catapult attack line One-third of the total, but the tragedy caused is obvious to all.

In fact, before his order came down, the Fezer soldiers near the catapult in front were already swarming towards the back, and the abandoned catapult on the river beach was swaying here and there. The corpses were like a wheat field after a hurricane, lying all over the river beach. The intermittent firing of heavy crossbow arrows made Feizejun completely give up the possibility of continuing to use slings.

"Omu-sama, do we still need to attack as planned?"

Prince Feize looked at the scene on the river beach and swallowed hard. The imperial army's defensive power was shocking. The terrible scene caused by it even made him faintly shaken, not to mention the expressions of the generals. It must be getting ugly at the moment. Even soldiers, after seeing such fierce long-range firepower from the opponent, would not have the guts to launch another brutal battle to seize the river.

"His Highness believes that we cannot cross this river. Is there any other way for us to go back?" Omu looked calm, glanced at the other generals, and just raised his whip and said coldly, "Everyone, cross this river. There is no other way." The obstacles that prevent us from going back are already here, so there is nothing to retreat from. Since it is a war, there are immortals."

"Yeah, we're all here, we only have one way to move forward!"

The generals' decadent spirits were shaken. After all, they were all elite troops of the Kingdom of Feize, and none of them were vegetarians. Since the Battle of Paput, they had been overcoming obstacles all the way. Under extreme disadvantage, they still encouraged the entire army to attack Paput with enthusiasm. In the royal capital, which battle was not filled with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood? Why are you so frightened by the little loss before you here?

Seeing that the generals finally had some energy, Omu continued to strike while the iron was hot, and deliberately curled his lips slightly and said, "As a soldier who fights for his life on the battlefield, he only knows how to rely on the power of weapons. The army of the Falcon Empire is also With such skill, if it comes to close combat with real swords and guns, I, the Feize warrior, can definitely defeat them!"

"Ha ha!"

The generals laughed when they heard this. The Fezer people are originally a barbarian tribe in the southern and western coast areas. Since the founding of the country, they have fought in the south and north, and plundered slaves everywhere, forming a completely different barbarian culture from the eastern kingdoms such as Aero and Aden. For too many Advanced strategies have always been ignored. Once they let go of their inner fears, Generals Feize suddenly became more courageous, and they no longer realized how terrifying the Empire's heavy crossbow was. It was nothing more than a war instrument.

"Everyone, we have fought against the emperor in the battle of the Paput capital. As long as we are ruthless enough, the emperor will choose to retreat. Then think about the cars full of treasures and supplies behind us. If we can't go back, we will have to go back." Why are you going south?" Omu Yongyan. Yu removed the impact of the defeat in the first battle and continued, "As for how to fight the Northern Falcon Empire, the entire Obarro continent has reached a considerable consensus after a painful lesson. Both the south and the north believe that the first priority is to restrict The other party is terrifying Most of the opponents who fought against the Emperor were defeated before they even got close. If the Emperor's long-range killing weapon was removed, the Emperor's combat power would be equivalent to that of a first-line elite. He is not an imperial soldier as reported by the outside world. It's as exaggerated as three or four soldiers from other countries. They are all made of flesh and blood. Is it true that the emperor has a bronze head and iron arms and an immortal body? "Yes, as long as you can get close, tens of thousands of emperors are nothing!" The Wampaput people were not destroyed by us."

Someone among the generals hummed and said, "The Imperial Army has excellent weapons, but its troops are seriously insufficient. Our army's strength is more than three times that of the opponent. Even if it is ground, it can grind the opponent to death. As for the Empire's heavy crossbow, although it is sharp, it is still weak after all." Everyone knows something and has already had a way to deal with it. Tomorrow, everyone will cut down strong trees to form a large arrowhead and select elite soldiers. The soldiers form a death squad, and they will definitely be able to capture it. ""That's it, everyone goes back and prepares to attack again tomorrow!" Omu waved his hand. Although he lost the first battle, it was only a loss of a few hundred people, compared to an army of more than 100,000 people! No matter what, he himself didn't believe that a cavalry unit of the other party had withdrawn here. How many more metal heavy crossbows could he carry? "Lord Omu, is there really no problem tomorrow? I have heard that once the Falcon Emperor deploys its defenses, its combat power can sweep away more than three times the enemy, even with Wrigley. I'm afraid..."

When the generals left, Prince Feize, who had been silent all this time, hesitated. Along the way of the Paput War, he was directly involved in the tragic Battle of the Paput Royal Capital. His Highness the Prince looked at the war in a different way. He was getting deeper and deeper, and how could he not see that Omu was inciting the generals to use the lives of soldiers to fight for a bloody path like they captured the capital of Paput. The problem was that the situation was not as adverse as it was at the beginning. Only by capturing the royal capital can we have a chance to survive. Now we are returning home, and we are returning home with a mighty and victorious army. Do we need to let so many soldiers die?

"Your Highness, there are some things that I shouldn't say as the commander of the army, but since His Highness is asking, I can only tell the truth, yes. I have indeed made preparations to let tens of thousands of soldiers die on this river!" Omu hesitated. After a moment, he looked towards the distance Ka Mian: "Although what I just said about the emperor is worthless, in fact, it is just self-deception." "Deceiving yourself! Lord Omu, although I am not the commander of the army. But I am still the supervisor of the army in name. You need to give I have an explanation!"

Prince Feize's body trembled slightly and his eyes widened. He didn't expect that he just felt something was wrong. This is really the case. Are the lives of tens of thousands of Feize warriors really so worthless to you? You point your finger casually. Are we going to let them die? "In the eyes of His Highness, what should be the combat strength of the Imperial Army?" Omu said calmly, "It is naturally the most powerful army in the Obarro Continent. I heard that the total population of the Falcon Empire is nearly 300 million, but the combat troops are only 500,000." , It is conceivable how elite its combat power is, but what Lord Omu said just now is right. If its long-range combat power is restricted, it will only be elite at best. "Prince Feize suppressed the surge in his heart. anger, talk Talking about it, as a royal family, the Falcon Empire he knew was naturally not limited to the military. Feize had a population of only more than 30 million, and even had 500,000 troops. The empire had a population of 300 million, which meant 500,000 soldiers. Army, so in the heart of the eldest prince, he still feels that the elite of the Imperial Army is mainly based on excellent military equipment. The excellent military equipment of the Imperial Army is recognized by the entire Oubaluo Continent." Eh? Your Highness also thinks so. "?"

On the contrary, Omu smiled coldly, "The Emperor made his fortune from the northwest coast and swept across Barro in Northern Europe. As long as it blocked its long-range weapons, it could be defeated. If it were so simple, Gaul would not be destroyed after a series of defeats." If you lose, Gang Fei will not be weak enough to be annexed. This seems to be a simple truth, but most people just turn a blind eye! ""Isn't it true?

Prince Feize took a breath of air. "I heard that the emperor's long-range combat mode has actually surpassed this era. Thor, heavy ballista, infantry crossbow, one after another form a superimposed attack line. You can only know it if you are there." How terrible that is, Ren Under such a cover, there is almost no possibility of survival for any flesh and blood body. Under the dense clouds of arrows from the emperor's gun, even the bravest warrior will not be able to feel confident at all, because it is beyond the reach of a warrior. A bottom line that can be tolerated”

"I didn't expect that even the eldest prince would believe the propaganda that the Falcon Empire used to build momentum." Omu shook his head and smiled slightly. "On the battlefield, there are even spear formations who dare to stop the iron cavalry, let alone the power of the arrow clusters. ? Can the dense arrows penetrate the steel shield? An exaggeration that exceeds the limit of what a soldier can bear, "If there is a well-prepared imperial army on the other side of the river bank, I will choose to wait without hesitation. Although the river surface has surged due to floods, it will subside in a few days." , we can definitely find other routes through "

Aomu took a deep breath and twitched his mouth. "But now, the other side of the river is just a tired empire army, which is seriously insufficient in both manpower and combat readiness. If our army defeats it in one fell swoop, the Papt region will no longer be able to stop our military force. If we don't seize this opportunity, once the enemy gives way to Kanyaro and allows us to enter the southern part of Papt, they will continue to harass our army with the high mobility of their cavalry. Although our army has more than 100,000 elite soldiers, the generals have their own thoughts and the army is slow to move. In the end, only half of them can return. Fezer is successful! "Of course, this is just the superficial statement." Aomu paused, shrugged his shoulders, looked at the confused Prince Fezer, and said with a wry smile, "The real reason is that our army's rations are limited, and I'm afraid that the whole army cannot support until reaching the southern border. These bastards only know that the car is full of property, but few of them have enough rations. In addition, the army's journey has been greatly delayed compared to the expected time. Since half of the people are destined to die, let this half of the people die where they should die! "A trace of red flashed in Aomu's eyes,
