Realm of Power

There was a sound of sharp swords flying through the air, and countless arrow clusters shot out like rain and hit the entrance of the Nammu Bridge. Where the arrow clusters fell, the corpses of Harvey people had piled up to a height of more than half a meter, and the shrill sound of the horn sounded at the entrance of the bridge. Coming from the direction, Harvey's military flag moved backward like a tide, announcing the failure of another round of attack.

"Your Highness, General Ruya is injured, and the Fourth Army's attack failed again."

A swift cavalryman from the Harvey Army came galloping towards him, his white cloak behind him being blown up by the wind. The news he brought made Sethi, Prince of the Harvey Kingdom, frown even more tightly. He was wearing a large red cloak. Fluttering behind him, the sword and shield flag of Harvey's army was blown straight by the wind blowing from the bridge entrance. There was anger on his livid face.

Behind him, more than a dozen generals of the Harvey Army looked ugly and remained silent. Looking at the gradually darkening sky, no one dared to speak out at this time. In order to capture the sunk Nammu Bridge in front of them, even Seth The Fourth Army, which His Highness most relies on, has been sent up. If they are allowed to go up again, the result will probably be What's worse, who doesn't know that His Highness Sethis's Fourth Army is mainly composed of well-equipped Harvey swordsmen. Under military orders, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of them, they will move forward without hesitation. But just now, the Fourth Army He continued to push forward four times, but he couldn't even cross the Nammu Bridge in front of him, and more than a thousand lives were lost in vain.

The main reason is that the bridge entrance is too narrow. Although the Namu Bridge, which is pulled up by eight huge iron cables, is the pinnacle of iron cable bridges in this era, it mainly ensures that it connects the north and the south. It is a little short of width, only seven or eight meters wide. It is built according to the standard of two large carriages running in parallel. Under normal marching conditions, this width is enough for smooth flow. There is no obstruction, and the Namu Bridge has only been built to such a width. There are also considerations to limit the load-bearing capacity of the bridge. Otherwise, once it is overweight, it will inevitably cause the bridge to collapse over time. But now, for the tens of thousands of Harvey troops gathered at the entrance of the Namu Bridge, Said, this has become the biggest shortcoming, no matter how many troops there are, it will be useless in the face of natural dangers like Namu Bridge.

When the troops cannot be fully deployed, the number of people who can rush forward in each wave can be only two to three hundred people, and on the opposite side, the emperor's army is densely packed and the crossbows raised towards the bridge entrance flash, at least three hundred people can rush up. More than a thousand, and until now, I don’t know how many troops the Imperial Army has sent to the other side of the bridge!

How many more times are needed and how many people need to be filled in? No one has any idea!

"Atulie, can you give me an explanation? There are only two hundred logistics troops stationed at such an important choke point. Are you treating the life and death of tens of thousands of troops as a joke?" Sethi took a deep breath. With a breath, he looked away from a distance, looked at a strong man in Kobe with a face ashen as a knife, and said in a solemn voice,

This strong man is two meters tall. He is wearing a thick suit of armor and can be said to be like an iron tower. He is the commander of the Eighth Legion in charge of Nammu Bridge. At this moment, this iron tower-like man is in the game. Stina's pair are slightly slender Under his eyes, he suddenly knelt on the ground, lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, it's not that my subordinates are neglecting their duties, but because His Highness's order requires my subordinates not to station heavy troops at Namu Bridge, so as not to cause the emperor's rebellion." Attention team!”

"My order?" Prince Sethi's face was ashen, and his eyes narrowed into a thin line as he stared at Atulie.

"Your Highness, I really didn't panic. This is your Highness's personal order!" Atulie's expression turned pale. He clearly felt the strong murderous intention from Prince Sethi. He knew that the Nammu Bridge was accidentally lost, leading to the retreat of tens of thousands of troops. Cut off, this responsibility is not as simple as a mere dereliction of duty. The army will not accept it without one or two bloody heads. He hurriedly took out an order book from his arms, raised it high above his head, and said in a shrill voice call

Looking at the order book that Atulie held high above his head, Prince Sethi's eyes became even more cold. The other generals looked at each other with strange expressions.

Atulie, this idiot who only has muscles, can't understand the situation at this time. Even if it is really an order from His Royal Highness, what is the use? The army's retreat has been cut off, the morale of the army is floating, and the people are panicked. In front of tens of thousands of people in the army In this regard, only by getting rid of the person responsible will undoubtedly suppress the The most effective way to float in the army, if Atulie takes it upon himself, His Royal Highness the Prince may not necessarily kill Atulie, detain him, and dispose of him after returning to the country. But now, the generals feel a little cold in their hearts. , this idiot Atulie is 100% dead,

Although no one dared to look at it, they all knew in their hearts that this order was absolutely true.

Who doesn't know that when Prince Sethi received an emergency military report from the country, the first thing he thought of was to withdraw to the country. However, the imperial army on the opposite side was really pressing too hard, and they were almost face to face for dozens of miles. , the prince was worried that once he ordered to retreat, he would inevitably encounter the empire. The army was crushed, and it was feared that few of the tens of thousands of Harvey Kingdom's troops could survive as cannon fodder at the Harvey Kingdom border, so they adopted a stratagem of concealing the truth and replacing the elite from the front line with miscellaneous and weak troops. As long as the emperor did not immediately attack the entire front Attack is completely impossible to detect!

It is said that they are hiding from the sky, but in fact, they are using the lives and deaths of these more than ten thousand old and weak people to buy time for the army to retreat. Once the Imperial Army discovers that the main force of Harvey's army is retreating, they will inevitably attack across the board. Only tens of thousands of old and weak people can still What do you expect? His Royal Highness will not care whether you live or die.

"The entire continent knows that the Imperial Army has no tradition of killing prisoners. As long as these old and weak soldiers surrender quickly, there will be a way to survive. If they follow us and withdraw, they will be more likely to encounter mishaps on the road, so letting them stay is also For their own good! "This is His Royal Highness at the military meeting. Although some of the generals disagreed with the original words spoken at the meeting, they had to admit that this was the only thing that could be done at the moment. The brutal Martin Ligues were plundering the country of Harvey, and as the border line was completely defeated Collapse, the Kingdom of Harvey has already opened its doors in front of the ferocious Martin Fangs.

How could Martin Liya let go of such an opportunity!

In addition to the 50,000 Martin Tooth army that initially broke into the Kingdom of Harvey, more than a dozen lords of the Martin Tooth region near the border also began to pour into the Kingdom of Harvey, as if they were following the lions. They are like jackals that eat. Although the strength of these lords of Martin's Tooth region is not strong, with no more than four or five thousand people, and only one or two thousand as few, when it comes to cruelty and destruction of the Kingdom of Harvey, they are far more powerful. The main force of Martin's Tooth Army surpassed the siege troops along the way and destroyed the Harvey Kingdom's defense system.

In front of the main force of Martin's Tooth Army, there are still 30,000 royal troops led by King Harvey, pressing down on them. The two armies are anxious in the key towns on the Western Front.

However, these regional lords did not even have any restrictions. They burned, killed, looted, and did whatever they wanted. In just a few days, they wiped out all the Harvey villages and towns on the border, killing enough Harvey people. There are more than 100,000 people, and 30,000 to 40,000 Harvey people have been captured as slaves and sold back to the country. It can be described as shocking. He pointed out that many of them were the wives, children and children of the Harvey Army who were stranded in the southern part of the Order State. The border had been opened. Judging from the current situation, more Martin Fang troops would inevitably flow into the Harvey Kingdom. If If the army continues to stay in the country of the Order, they really have no choice but to go back and bury the corpses!

In this case, who can still sit still!

Even if Sethi does not want to return to the country, the army will force him to return, otherwise it will be the result of a mutiny in the army. In order to make it realistic and not attract the attention of the Imperial Army, the Harvey Army even There were no heavy guards on a choke point like the bridge, but no one expected that the imperial army would bypass the front line and stab the Namu Bridge with a knife.

"Nonsense, when did I give such an order? You have neglected your duties and caused the army's current predicament, but you want to blame it on me? What's the use of keeping people like you? Someone will come. Tulie pulled him down." Prince Sethi's eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. He rushed past angrily and waved his hand towards the murderous guard behind him. "Yes, Your Highness."

A dozen guards rushed forward like wolves and tigers, and pressed Atulie's strong body to the ground.

"Your Highness, your subordinates really... Wuwu." The tall Atulie pulled him back like a dead dog. The order that Atulie regarded as a life-saving straw was picked up by a guard and crushed into a shape. The dough was mixed with soil and stuffed into Atulie's mouth! Half a minute later, the guard came to Prince Sethi with a bloody human head supported on a wooden tray. Looking at the bloody head of Atulie, Sethi's cold eyes showed no mercy, and he waved his hand. , so what if it was your own order? Do you still want to blackmail me at this time? The army's retreat has been cut off, and the whole army is on the verge of mutiny. If you take out that order, you can only say that you are seeking death! "Your Highness, the entrance to the bridge is narrow and it is difficult for the army to deploy. The emperor only needs to use strong bows and crossbows to keep our army at bay. Moreover, my subordinates are worried that the emperor's attack on the Namu Bridge and cutting off our army's retreat will definitely Not just to block our army in It's so simple here. The longer our army delays at Namu Bridge, the more dangerous it will be." A general from the Harvey Army said in a cold voice, "You mean, the Imperial Army uses Namu Bridge. As bait, and then catch all our troops? "

Sethis' face was filled with shock. The sudden seizure of the Namu Bridge by the Imperial Army did not surprise anyone. This prince was not a member of the royal family who fell in the Battle of the Holy Capital, but a genuine prince. , the younger brother of King Anxi III of Harvey Kingdom. Six years ago, Anxi III, the third prince, suddenly died suddenly after the king. Under such circumstances, he was able to defeat several other competitors, lead 20,000 Harvey Royal Guards into the royal capital, and finally sit on the throne of King Harvey. Sethi, who was the deputy commander of the Royal Guards at the time, can be described as It is a great achievement, otherwise the Harvey royal family’s most proud opportunity in decades would not have been given to Prince Cesti.

At the beginning, the religious group's national cavalry was tyrannizing the Harvey people's necks. The opportunity to counterattack after decades of planning was naturally handed over to the most trusted confidants. The troops selected were naturally the most elite in the Harvey Kingdom. And Prince Sethis lived up to the expectations of the people in the country. With a thunderous offensive, he swallowed up six rows in the southern part of the Order State in one go. Province, and used means to exclude their biggest competitors, the Martin Liga people, and manipulated the Ikar logistics line, occupying the entire southern part of the Order State in one fell swoop. They only needed to stabilize their position and use the resources, population, and soldiers in the occupied area If it turns into a real combat force, it may not be impossible to form a confrontation with the Imperial Army in the northern part of the Order Country.

From a tactical point of view, there may be some flaws, but from a strategic point of view, His Highness the Prince is ruthless. "Your Highness, do you still remember how the Kalisu people in the dense forest were wiped out in just ten days?"

The general of the Harvey Army took a deep breath and said in a solemn voice. As soon as he said this, there was a sound of gasping all around. Even Prince Sethi's face changed. There were two hundred thousand soldiers. The Kalisu Kingdom, a small regional power, in the dense forest known as the invincible land, was divided among the empire, the Martin Liya people, and the Anser people in just a few days! It has been regarded as the fastest broken record in the entire Obaro Kingdom.

This major event that shocked the entire Obaro has only been less than a month ago, let alone destroyed. The Carisu Kingdom is still a member of the four southern alliances led by the Harvey Kingdom. The Carisu Kingdom The kingdom's instant destruction may be a shock to other countries, but to the Harvey people who are also allies, it is truly heartbreaking! "Martin's sharp teeth stabbed him in the back, and the imperial army moved south at the same time. The Kalisu army had an army of 200,000, and they were crushed and collapsed."

The Harvey general raised his head, his eyes flashed with sharpness, and he said in a cold voice, "Martin Fang launched an invasion at the most critical moment. The empire that originally fought passively turned into an active attack. Who can guarantee that the empire is not fighting against Martin Fang?" People have secretly joined forces. Although the outside world thinks that the Southern Martin Liya people and the empire are in a state of war, but look at Carisu How did the kingdom perish? The empire first captured the capital of Kalisu and forced the main force of the Kalisu army to return. Then Martin's sharp tooth army inserted a knife in the back and attacked and destroyed the 100,000 main force of the Kalisu army. The coordination was seamless and impeccable. Directly. If the destruction of the Calisu Kingdom, which is said to be impossible to break, is a complete coincidence, this kind of coincidence is too worthless."

"The situation our army is facing now is almost exactly the same. It's just that the positions of the Emperor's Army and Martin's Tooth Army have been reversed! And don't forget, the one facing us is the Battle of the Holy Capital. Known for his decisiveness, the famous imperial general Reposti dared to attack a hundred thousand coalition troops with only thirty thousand imperial troops!"

"You mean, the Imperial Cavalry blocked our army here to attack us! A general of the Harvey Army glanced at the nearly black sky, and couldn't help but show a hint of fear in his eyes. The Imperial Cavalry is good at attacking at night. In the name of the Imperial Cavalry, no one in the entire continent knows about it! The Imperial Assault Crossbow is like a hurricane sweeping in at high speed at night, not to mention the Imperial Heavy Armored Cavalry known as the Iron Crash. Tens of thousands of Harvey troops are now crowded in front of the Namu Bridge. Once they encounter the Imperial Cavalry, When the cavalry rushes into battle, there is really no other way but to jump off the cliff!
