Realm of Power

Main text 2502 Thunderstorm (Twenty-two)

At the entrance of Kanyaro Bridge, countless Feize soldiers were frantically attacking the defense line at the bridge entrance. Heavy rain was falling from the sky. People were flipping over in the mud, and the sounds of killing and screams were mixed together. The scene was as chaotic as a pot of boiling liquid. It's like porridge, and the soldiers on both sides are like crazy. As if, everyone in the sword and gun array was fighting independently, and amidst the screams, some people were having their arms and heads chopped off. Blood was splattered high in the sky, and the mud turned red. The wounds were immediately covered with blood. Chopped, severed heads and limbs floated on the surface of the mud.

"All troops launch an attack, including reserve teams. I want to capture the bridge entrance in the shortest possible time."

Nasrbad looked at the brutal fighting in the direction of the bridge entrance, and finally showed a hint of pride on his lips. The emperor's troops were already insufficient, and now they have even transferred the most important cavalry. The only infantry crossbowmen left behind at the bridge entrance are , the problem is that these Imperial crossbowmen have been shooting continuously for more than an hour. Even if the Imperial crossbows are powerful, they will appear tired in such heavy rain, let alone pulling these Imperial crossbows with great lethality. The crossbow is made of people, the crossbow is a dead thing, but the human body is made of flesh and blood. It can be pulled continuously for more than an hour. According to the slowest shooting frequency of the imperial crossbow, which is five or six times per minute, every hour, every imperial crossbowman must pull at least one After two or three hundred times, so many times, the crossbowmen on the opposite side were almost at the point where it was difficult to lift their arms. If not, how could they have allowed their troops to rush to Qiaokou in one breath!

"Order, everyone enter the water!" After receiving the order, Feize's soldier captain held out his chest and shouted loudly to the soldiers, with an expression as excited as a chicken blood. Even a blind man could see the current situation. The emperor on the opposite side The attack could no longer be sustained. A breakthrough at the bridge entrance in front was imminent, so we just needed to work harder. It is possible to break through the bridge entrance defense line blocking the front, but the bridge entrance is too small to carry the attack line of tens of thousands of troops at once.

"Papa pa pa"

The water splashed everywhere, and countless Fezer soldiers jumped into the river. This time, they were no longer the so-called cannon fodder servants, but the real Fezer field troops. Holding round shields in their hands, a crowd of hundreds of meters long jumped into the river like a duck, and the river rolled. Large waves and huge waves also look small in front of such a huge crowd.

Fei Zejun, who gathered in the direction of Shiqiao, was third and fifth. The strength of the Sixth and Seventh Legions, except for the Fifth and Sixth Legions that suffered heavy losses, the other two legions are almost intact, with a total strength of more than 109,000 people. At this moment, with an order, the number of people surged.

"go ahead!"

"For Fetzer. To go home!"

All kinds of loud shouts, the frustration and resentment of more than 100,000 people who had been blocked in this river for several times, completely broke out at this moment. The sight of densely packed Fezer soldiers jumping into the river was quite spectacular. Thousands of rafts were floating on the river. The waves rolled in and overturned them. Many people fell into the water, but more rafts made up for it. Hundreds of people fell into the water. The meter-wide Leri River was full of people, and crossbow shots from across the river became sparse and ineffective, although arrow shooters kept falling into the water. But it already seemed insignificant in the face of tens of thousands of troops forcibly crossing, with huge rocks roaring from overhead trebuchets slamming down. Huge splashes of water exploded one after another on the river, and the rafts hit by the boulders suddenly turned into pieces. Even the people above can no longer be found. "Sir, Hashiguchi can no longer support it!"

The report from the front made Salton's face become more solemn. Without the long-range fire suppression, the pressure in the direction of the bridge suddenly became huge. Although the Imperial heavy infantry had good combat power, it could not withstand the opponent's rush in, and then Fang's Imperial crossbowman was also exhausted. The thumb that pulled the bow string had been cut and dripping with blood. The Imperial crossbow was equipped in the second generation. It is a convenient and labor-saving pulling lever device. However, in such heavy rain, the pulling lever and the bow string have already slipped. All the imperial crossbowmen use the most primitive and laborious method, which is to use their feet to open the bow string. Many crossbowmen have lost their strength. If the battle continues, the condition of the Empire's heavy ballistae will not be good either. Rain has caused problems with the machine springs of the ballistae. Only a dozen or so of them are still shooting.

Salton glanced at the entire battlefield with a desolate expression, knowing clearly that the defense line could no longer be held at this moment. If he did not withdraw, the entire army would be destroyed!

"God, I just want to get recognition. Is it so difficult?!" Salton looked up at the sky, his lips trembled, and he murmured in a low voice. His hair was completely wet from the rain, and his short hair was short because of his lack of strength. Finally, the battle line was shaken, the cavalry force was transferred away, and they continued to hold on. The only result was that even Caniyaro was lost. Although the order to withdraw has been sent to Roseanwick, I am afraid that it will not be possible to withdraw in a short time. The Fezer people downstream will definitely try their best to hold Roseanwick back, abandon the bridge entrance, and defend Kanni Yaro, waiting for the cavalry to come back for reinforcements is the only way now. But in this case, it will be difficult to fulfill the order of the Ministry of Military Affairs to hold on for ten days.

"To be able to use such a disadvantaged force to follow all the way from the capital of King Paput, to fight several fierce battles, and to contain four times the enemy's elite to such an extent, even if the Ministry of Military Affairs wants to pursue it, I, Salton, have a clear conscience. It's just a pity. My virtuous man fought bloody battles in a foreign country, but in the end, he still could not get the glory of the winner!"

With a sad look on his face, Salton suddenly turned around and loudly ordered, "Send the order, abandon the bridge entrance, and all troops withdraw into Kanyaro."

"Rumble"

Before Salton's voice of giving the order could be fully uttered, a deafening explosion came from the direction of the bridge entrance. Salton saw a long tail of thick black smoke flying towards the bridge entrance from the downstream direction. Coming, this tail was followed by a very sharp sound of breaking through the air, and then something seemed to hit this side heavily, "Rumble"

There was another crisp explosion. This time, Salton saw clearly. He only saw a huge fire coming from a distance and exploding at the bridge entrance. The Fezer soldiers near the fire were as tall as toys. Throwing it high, for a moment, the area near the landing point seemed to be shaken by an earthquake, as if a pair of invisible big hands smoothed everything above it easily.

Feize's soldier was completely frightened by the sight before him. Just as Leng Shen was doing it, bang! Bang! Bang! There was another series of explosions, and the stone bridge trembled in the explosion. Even the solid stone bridge was bombarded with debris, and countless tiny dots were flying. The Fezer soldiers above were so frightened that they fell to the ground. Some jumped from the bridge into the river in a panic, struggling desperately. "Help! Help!" Countless hands were flopping on the water, struggling and shaking. After a wave came over, I saw only a few hands shaking helplessly on the water. The ripples of water just disappeared silently.

"It's the Imperial Thunder God!"

Narsbad, who thought he had a chance to win, trembled slightly while riding on the horse. Just as he felt that victory was in sight, he immediately felt a basin of cold water pouring down on his head, making him unable to recover. Here How come there is a low-power Thor? Why is the Emperor's Thunder God in the downstream direction?

These were all unbelievable questions, but they didn't make him feel completely heartbroken, because he had already seen the answer, and saw several large merchant ships appearing downstream. These merchant ships are working hard to move backwards upstream. They look like a group of overweight ducks floating on the water. However, these ducks are not cute at all, because the thunder bullets that are constantly shooting upstream will destroy Feize near the bridge entrance. The infantry suppressed the explosion so much that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. It was fired from these things that looked like merchant ships, but were actually modified warships. The bridge entrance was hit by such a violent explosion, and a piece of space suddenly became empty.

"Don't worry about the bridge entrance. It's the same as rushing to the earth barrier on the opposite side!"

Narsbad shouted orders to the messenger cavalry behind him. Although the Imperial Thor is powerful, it can be seen that there are not many Thors on these modified merchant ships. Hitting and blocking the bridge entrance is already its greatest strength. Facing an attack line hundreds of meters long on the river, these thunder gods can only stare blankly.

What's more, there are not only the Fezers but also the Imperial Army on the riverside fortress. The other party should not be determined to blow up their own people as well.

At this time, the earthen forts on the river bank that served as the defense line were filled with armor, swords, and corpses everywhere. On the opposite side, Feize people crossed over from the river like a tide, pushing upward desperately. The fighting has reached fever pitch, and the battle line between the dikes and dams is like a bottomless black whirlpool. The few Imperial troops were sucked in one after another, and only the mutilated corpses were spit out. Bloody water flowed into the river. There were so many corpses on the earthen embankment that even the Imperial soldiers could not stand. When they stopped, they could only fight and kick the dead bodies into the river with their feet.

"Come on, charge on!"

Feize's infantry captains jumped from the wooden platoon to the shoal on the other side. They yelled rudely, roared angrily, and pointed their swords forward fiercely, pushing Feize's soldiers into the water in groups. The imperial defense line in front was already there. It's on the verge of collapse, but it can't be broken through. The bloody scene of countless corpses overlapping can last for several days. Unable to eat, they fought to the death. Countless spears collided in a dense forest. Many people rushed up and were shot down. The layers were intertwined and mixed together until the ground trembled violently under their feet. These Feize soldiers They were shocked to see a huge black cloud coming quickly from the mound not far downstream.

"Downstream flank, Imperial Cavalry!"

I don’t know who shouted in the chaos, black armor rolling, one row, two rows, three rows... Those were mountains of imperial cavalry charging into the formation, those imperial cavalry that had been transferred, these cavalry looked like Although he had gone through the battle, he didn't suffer any losses, and he actually came back again.

"Hold still, don't run!"

"Raise your guns, if you don't want to die, raise your guns quickly!" Chaotic shouts arose one after another from Feize's army. Whether it was from the direction of the bridge entrance or Feize's soldiers who were storming the earthen fortress, the first reaction at this moment was to run away. The black cavalry rushing down like a flood cannot be stopped by human power at all.

If you don't face the pressure of countless war horses pushing the bloody light, you will never be able to understand it. When you are in front of you, you are boundless, tall and long, weighing more than half a ton, and the speed is like a speeding electric switch. Every inch of bone in your body, the cavalry above does not even need to wield weapons, they only need to put down the bayonet to harvest the heads like cutting wheat straw. All courage and courage will appear so pale and feeble at this moment.

"How to set up a spear formation? Come and try it!" Feize's infantry are still chasing each other. Who can guarantee a more complete spear formation? So seeing the appearance of the imperial cavalry, all Feize's soldiers thought It was completely blank, and I could only feel the ground beneath my feet bumping up and down like waves.

The black torrent coming from the mound quickly expanded in the eyes, with a blood-colored piercing spear, and finally turned into a point of light in the eyes of the pupils.

"puff"

The light spot, as fast as lightning, pierced through the body, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. It lasted less than a second, and there was a roar of broken bones and flesh.

Feize's soldiers in the direction of the bridge entrance were pierced through.

There was almost no time to react before the war horse was hit hard and flew away. The war horses rushed in crazily, bang! Snap! "Pa" dense rows of cavalry spears poked out from the backs and chests of the densely packed Fezer soldiers at the bridge entrance. The power of the high-speed impact was concentrated on one point.

At that moment, unless they were heavy infantry wearing two layers of heavy armor or could survive, ordinary armor would be like a piece of paper in the face of such power, without any hindrance. Lifting them up with their pierced shields, many Feize soldiers were scattered in the blood mist.

The war horses took turns trampling over their corpses, which were no more tattered than tomatoes.

"Lord Narsbad, didn't you say that all the cavalry went to Omu? So what are these?" The heavy losses at the bridge entrance made a General Fezer angrily ask. He was an imperial cavalry man. The arrival of the enemy has basically completely cut off the possibility of occupying Shiqiao. The result of the bloody battle of tens of thousands of troops is equivalent to wasting it.

"I don't know what happened, it must be Omu's fault."

Narsbad looked at the group of Imperial cavalry appearing on the other side of the river, his eyes full of viciousness, and gritted his teeth and said, "According to the plan, the Imperial cavalry should be trampling the main force of Omu downstream, but these cavalry killed them so quickly." Come back, where is Omu? After all, we have 50,000 to 60,000 troops. What is Omu doing? Isn’t that bastard selling us all?”

"I'm afraid Omu really sold us out!"

One of Feize's generals turned pale, and the other Feize's generals suddenly fell silent. Omu had always advocated for traveling south lightly, but they were ignored by the generals. Everyone knows the current situation, carrying so much property Reaching the southern border is basically very difficult, but the generals deliberately avoid it

"What a fool, he not only deceived me, but also everyone else!" Narsbad laughed angrily, and hit his thigh hard with the riding crop in his hand. The pain made him grin. Why didn't he look at it? When they came out, they were divided into two lines this time. Omu deliberately arranged his cronies to be the first line. , the other generals were on the front line. Looking back now, from the time he formulated this two-line attack plan, Omu may have been planning to discard all the troops who were unwilling to abandon their property. If not, how could these imperial cavalry be like this? Come back soon? Originally, I wanted to let Omu attract the attention of these cavalry, killing two birds with one stone, but I didn't expect that now I have become the dog behind closed doors! (To be continued.)
