Main text 3523 Elegy in the wind (XVI)

The Battle of Stam finally begins

The autumn rain brought coldness, and Anse's various ministries finally took out their elites. Team after team of flags of all races came out in turn like an endless wave, pushing and dragging various attacking tools. At a glance, , under the pouring rain, there are countless flying flags like the rolling sea, and the low wind is hunting, making people feel a huge visual Exciting, but this vast white covering the sky and the earth, but there is a suffocating desolation, the rain hits the soldiers' armor, turning into a vast white spray, 200,000 Ansel troops are in the tower The area outside the city of Mu is huge. On every hilly place, you can see the constant coming and going of the messenger cavalry.

I saw a large number of soldiers carrying various things that could be filled with water and throwing them into the water. They were obviously building attack routes in areas where they were blocked. The Anser people were not called barbarians for nothing. Although the overall weapons and equipment are lagging behind the average line of Opalo, as a player who has just entered the stage of Opalo's power, the upward trend shown is also very obvious. As a nation, when it rises, it will naturally gather quite a lot of outstanding talents. Regardless of the many internal conflicts in Anse, if it really faces a crisis, it can still make a unanimous decision in the shortest possible time.

Along the way to the east, there were consecutive battles and victories. The morale of the army was already at its peak. So many Martin Liya camps had been captured in the front. A mere Stam in front of us was nothing. It was just that everyone in the front was unwilling to contribute. , but it’s different now. After learning that Martin Li Ya’s famous general Yin Hu may have touched his body, On the other side, the heads of various ministries were really anxious. If they could not seize the camp in front of them as a stronghold before the arrival of Martin Liya's army led by Silver Fox, they would have to be attacked by the opponent on two fronts. In the pouring rain, have a wild battle with the Martin Liya Cavalry, known as the most powerful Barro in southern Europe.

The leaders of each Anse tribe are all experienced in battles. Even if they are not very clear about the disadvantages of infantry against cavalry, everyone still saw the scene where the imperial cavalry destroyed the Kata tribe before. The Kata tribe had tens of thousands of soldiers. The remaining troops, but under the attack of the imperial cavalry like a flood, even a mere The hundreds of meters of border line were not even finished before they were trampled and flattened by the horse hooves of the cavalry. During the battle that day, some of the heads of various departments were on the border, and some were in the dark, but no matter where they stood, , I feel chilled in my heart when I see it. It turns out that the disadvantage of infantry against cavalry is so great. With the same strength, they are simply crushed.

The destruction of the Kata tribe directly cut off all the tribes' intention to advance northward. Otherwise, it would not have been just because of the demise of the Ange tribe that all the tribes would have unanimously agreed to change the original northward march to the eastward overnight.

The military strength of Martinliya Kingdom has been exhausted, and the entire mainland is almost empty. Since the empire has promised to contain Martinliya in the Ilon Valley to the north where the main force of the Western Front is located, there is really no reason not to take the risk and give it a try, but no one has I thought that the fight was so smooth. At the same time, I didn't expect that the Kingdom of Martinliya, known as the number one Barro in southern Europe, would be so vulnerable to a fight.

Just one attack penetrated the border defenses, captured more than 20 camps, and advanced more than 300 miles into the hinterland. You know, the entire southern part of the Kalisu region is only more than 300 miles away. In order to seize the territory, the Anse tribe After decades of fighting in the Lower Calisu area, in the end You have captured this place of more than three hundred miles, and now, in just ten days, you have captured a territory as big as the southern part of Kalisu, and you have grabbed a lot of it. Now you have to secretly seize it. If people spit out the occupied areas, Anse's various ministries themselves will never agree.

After all, Anser still needs land and resources too much.

As a small force from the southern mountains, Anse is like a confident immigrant who steps out of the wilderness. He thinks that he is extremely powerful. Only when he truly sees the outside world does he realize that he is not actually a poor person. You may even fall unbearably if you are touched by the other party. At this time, a huge wealth is placed in front of you. Even if you know that it is very dangerous, you still have to give it a try. Who knows that this stretch of hand will actually bring this fortune to you? How is it possible that you want to make him vomit it out after grabbing the wealth? I will bite you even if I die, but the Anse Commander Arnowell is not someone who is dazzled by the immediate benefits.

Everyone knows Arnold Weir's ambition, which is to establish an Anse country, and use his own strength to overcome all opinions and force the entire Anse to agree to form an alliance with the empire to jointly attack Martin Liya. His vision and courage are also the same. Waiting for a while, naturally the empire's strategic intention of using the Dark Seer to force the Martin Liya army to withdraw troops from the battlefield of the Order State is very clear. Now the Martin Liya army's counterattack may arrive at any time, and the empire cannot withdraw from it!

On the one hand, he used the intelligence provided by the Imperial Army to mobilize all the elite combat forces of all ministries. On the other hand, he immediately sent someone to invite Estante, one of the leaders of the Imperial Army.

"Your Excellency Estante, as an ally of the empire, I, the Anser, urgently need the help of the empire." Arnold's generous body bowed slightly on the war horse. He is the commander of the 200,000 Anser army, and Anser is not a vassal of the empire. The two parties are just a cooperative relationship, and the other party is just an imperial general. "Such a posture is already quite low." Mr. Arnold Weir is polite. If your request is for our Imperial Army to participate in the attack on Stam, then I'm sorry, but our numbers are too thin. You also know that. We only have 2,000 people." Estante nodded sternly.

"Your Excellency Estante is too sensitive. Attacking Stam is something I am secretly responsible for. How could I possibly drive you to do this?" Arnovel smiled calmly, "The person in charge of our side is Mr. Lytle. Your Excellency has For any request, you should go directly to Mr. Lytle, right?" "Sir Lytle... it's a little inconvenient." Arnold smiled calmly on his face,

"What do you mean it's inconvenient?" Estante asked knowingly.

Arnold took a deep breath and showed a sense of heroism. He said bluntly, "There is actually no shame in saying this. Lord Lytle is a Calisu. Such an identity makes it really hard for me to trust him. We killed hundreds of thousands of Kalisu in the southern part of Kalisu. If Lord Lytle had not blocked our northward advance in the name of the Imperial Army, the number of Kalisu dead might have exceeded one hundred and fifty. One hundred thousand to two million, and the entire Carrie The population of the Su Kingdom is only over two million. It can be said that two-thirds of the population of the entire Kalisu tribe will be killed by us. In this case, we are also afraid that Mr. Lytle will take revenge and kill me and the two of us at some time. Bring an army of 100,000 Ansel to the ditch! "Haha, Lord Arnovel is really joking, how could Lord Lytle be such a person, but the worry is understandable, I don't know what Lord Arnovel has. Need our help? "Estant laughed and said, this Arnowell can suppress the entire Anser tribe and allow the Aruo tribe to rise rapidly in the past ten years. It is not just a means, but also a very good mind. For Anser's killing spree in southern Kalisu is unabashed

In fact, Arnovel sent people to look for Estante at this time. Estante had already guessed that Martin Liya's army might approach at any time, and the entire Anser main force was restrained by Stam. In terms of military strength, , the 200,000 Ansers are not afraid of the troops supported by Martin Liya, but the Ansers are all infantry, and even with a small number of cavalry, they are not good at sentry surveillance. The army attacks Stam, and if Martin If the Liya reinforcements suddenly appear, it will be fatal.

And looking at those who can serve as battlefield sentries, is there anyone more suitable than the two thousand imperial horse archers under his command? Of course not, not all cavalry can serve as outposts. Sure enough, I heard Arnovel say with a sincere expression, "Now the army's attention is in Stam's direction. Once Martin Liya's reinforcements approach, we will be in great danger. We We can only ask your Imperial Cavalry to serve as a security guard. "Of course, the Empire and Anser are in alliance, and this is what we should do." Estant looked calm. He nodded and said, "Actually, even if you don't request it, our rangers have already been released. Currently, everyone within ten miles is under the surveillance of our cavalry." "Also, I hope the empire can provide catapult assistance." Arnovel said somewhat tentatively that in the battle of Edinris, the imperial slings shocked the entire battlefield and even affected the direction of the battlefield, but since then , the Imperial Army never took out the slings again. In fact, everyone knew it well, because they were afraid that the slinging skills would be learned by the Ansers. "Okay! I will dispatch the slings to join the offensive." Estant His eyes flashed for a moment, and he nodded and said, "Thank you so much." Arnovel did not expect that Estante would be so straightforward. Although it is quite necessary, but the protection of the empire is too tight, Anser still obtained some catapult technology through various abnormal means, such as bribing imperial craftsmen and honey traps, but some key technologies are still not obtained. , the empire has aroused alarm. If it can take this opportunity to obtain the technology of catapult, it will be a qualitative leap for Anse's ability to attack fortresses.

With the promise from the empire, Arnovel deployed his army almost without stopping. The front attack line had just hit Stam's earthen wall that had been stained red with human blood, and then came the infantry of the brigade. As we caught up, pieces of chopped wood crashed into our eyes. In the water network, a simple pontoon bridge was built an hour later. Originally, only the front line in the middle could be attacked, but now they are approaching from the two lines and flanks. Now only 30,000 to 40,000 people from the front can push it up; It is the three fronts advancing together.

Wuwu...it seemed to have resonated with the earth on all sides. Countless similar horn sounds were continuous and exciting. The top of the military flag was flashing in the rain, and the footsteps of the large crowd moving forward were countless. The feet were lifted up at the same time, and stepped into the muddy water under their feet at the same time. The water suddenly burst out, and the muddy ground splashed and shattered under countless pairs of feet, or they were stepped deeply into the ground.

When the actual 200,000-strong army is fully mobilized, even if it is only about half of the front line, there will be a sea of ​​​​people spreading out in front of it. Stam in front is simply like a small island in front of a torrent of people, and it may be submerged at any time.

The sound of killing was loud. In this siege, the Anse barbarians finally showed their true colors as barbarians. The barbarians themselves represented the bravery and fearlessness of death. When there were no wooden ladders and long bridges, the Anse soldiers used them one after another. Climbing with bare hands, they are a race in the dense forest. One of the most basic survival skills in the dense forest is to climb trees. There are no trees here, but the earth wall in front of them is only about five or six meters. People step on other people's shoulders, and even It's just stepping on a human ladder, that's all They swarmed up like this, letting the Martin Liya defender above hold a spear in his hand and stabbing downwards crazily. "Poof" an Ansel soldier grasped the spear pierced into his body and dragged the Martin Liya soldier above him. Come down, let people come together from the soil The wall rolled down, and the bright red blood drew a striking red line in the air. The rain hit the earthen wall, and the water droplets washed down with a piece of blood. "Charge up!" "Capture Stam," Personal income does not need to be turned over! "

The messenger cavalry shouting orders flew past the soldiers rushing forward. Upon hearing the sound, the Anse soldiers' eyes immediately seemed to be filled with blood, and they squeezed in with their red eyes. No need to hand it over, it's too much. What a beautiful land, what a beautiful woman, and a lot of wealth. Since the Martinliya people can't keep these, then give them all to us! With all kinds of shouts, the Martin Li Ya army on the earth wall has been pushed back.

The elite combat power of the real armored Anser was immediately put into action, which caused considerable damage to the Martin Liya defenders. These armored Anser soldiers held up their shields and faced the arrow clusters shot like a heavy rain, with bloodshot eyes. , just pressing against the front through the gap in the shield

The position of the earthen wall has been reduced to a pile of gruel. The defenders of Martin Liya stood on the earthen barrier and used the spears in their hands to stab the Anse soldiers climbing below. The Anse soldiers who were shot came out of the earth. They fell from the base, pressing on more Anser soldiers below. Clusters of arrows fell like whistling locusts. You could constantly see the Anser soldiers hit by arrows falling from high places.

As multiple attack points fell into fighting, the weakness of the insufficient number of defenders in Stam City was also quite obvious. As a regular army, Stam's defenders, which only had more than 10,000 people, were almost completely disrupted at this moment, and more were fighting. It was a volunteer army with temporary equipment. These volunteers composed of Martin Liya civilians suffered heavy casualties under the fierce attack of the Anser Army. They were suppressed and retreated step by step.

"Kill!" Like a tide, he jumped up from the gap in the broken earth wall. The Martin Sharptooth military flag erected on the earth wall of the camp was cut off with a knife. It fell from a height and burst like iron as heavy as rain. The rain hit it and broke. Bead-like water lines flew down like a waterfall, and collided with the densely packed heads of people under the city, causing an uproar of blood.

"Bang bang" A round stone bomb hit an earthen wall like a meteor, and the mud flew away. The unabated stone ball deflected after being hit, and plunged into the crowd on the earth wall, like a huge whirlpool. After pulling in all the nearby Martin Liya defenders, they heard a scream of broken bones, and bright red human blood hit the collapsed earth wall with their broken limbs.

"Watch out for the slings!"

The nearby Martin Li Ya army was so frightened that they all backed away.
