Realm of Power

"Call all generals to come to my military tent!"

The Marquis of Birmingham withdrew his sharp eyes from the officer sent by Spinrian. He was silent for a few seconds, then turned and walked towards the door of the military tent. Camps were centered around his tent, and wooden fences were piled up. They spread out in all directions, and the passing light cavalry spread out like a big net. Although they both belonged to the Sam tribe, they Unlike Spinrian's troops who came from several territories, the Marquis of Birmingham's troops came from one area. Their equipment was not bad, and they were all very familiar with each other. Almost as soon as they received the order, the generals gathered in Birmingham within ten minutes. In the Marquis' tent, the generals also felt something was wrong from the solemn face of the Marquis of Birmingham.

"Sir, I just saw one of Spinlian's men entering the camp. Is there something wrong up front?"

A general asked cautiously. The other generals also looked at their tight-lipped superiors, their faces slightly moved. Is there really something wrong with Spinlian's 100,000-strong army? Impossible, that was an army of 100,000, and 50,000 Sam elites were transferred directly back from the battlefield of the Order State.

"Spinlian indeed sent people to ask for help. The enemies who attacked them were huge in number, and they were very cunning. They first annihilated Spinlian's peripheral troops, and then launched a full-line attack. Waiting until Spinlian realized something was wrong. "It's already too late." The Marquis of Birmingham took a deep breath and spoke out the news he received from the reporting officer.

"Spinlian's 100,000-strong army was..." The generals all took a breath of air. Spinlian had an army of 100,000 people. Even if the private armies of the lords on the periphery were unable to fight, Could it be that the 50,000 Sam elites who followed Spinrian and returned from the battlefield of the Order State were not worthy of a fight? And what does it mean to have a huge amount? They had seen Spinlian's 50,000-strong army before. They were really strong. They had experienced many battles since they invaded the Kingdom of Harvey, and both their energy and fighting will were at their peak.

The arrogant and powerful general who attacked the city and conquered the city, killing people like hemp, and his eyes were red when he looked at everyone. He had humiliated these people at first, and even mocked them as moles who only dared to hide in holes in the ground to steal food. Rat, you don’t even have the guts to set foot on the imperial soil, and now, these 50,000 troops have sent for help. What does this mean? The generals had expressions of disbelief on their faces

"If Spinrian's army of 100,000 people can't stop it, what can we do with only 20,000 people?"

"Yes, our army's combat power is far inferior to Spinrian's, and we don't know exactly how many troops the opponent has. I'm afraid that even if we go to rescue, it will only cost 20,000 more lives, and our 20,000 troops are trailing behind. , nominally supporting the army, but actually unwilling to get too close to Spinlian, although everyone We both belong to the Sam tribe, but who doesn’t know that Spinlian is the Crown Prince’s confidant, and we adults have always been close to the second prince. This time, it was because of the royal family’s order that we reluctantly sent 20,000 people. Could it be that Do you really want us to fight to the death? "The generals looked ugly, but they were actually scared.

Spinlian's request for help mentioned that the number of enemies was huge. Isn't this a trap? You, Spinlian, have an army of 100,000, and you say that the opponent's numbers are huge. If 20,000 of us are still alive, what is the size of the enemy on the other side? Considering that such a large number of enemies may be approaching here at this moment, who would have the guts to settle down here and discuss whether to save Spinrian?

"My lord, the empire is so cunning. Even people like Silver Fox have been ambushed. We need to be more cautious. The situation is unknown. We'd better figure it out for the time being." Another general said in a low voice.

"Yes, this is how the Anxili family's 100,000-strong army was defeated. We cannot make the same mistake again."

"Adults, be careful, impulsiveness is the devil."

The generals all quickly agreed with bright eyes. Now they are desperately trying to find all kinds of excuses. Spinlian's life and death has little to do with them, and there are things like the Battle of Stam, the Battle of Stam, Because of unknown circumstances, Silver Fox's 100,000-strong army was defeated by the Imperial Army one by one, resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire army. No, with this foreshadowing, the generals all said, "The empire must have a heavy army ambushed halfway, waiting for us to go. Sir, don't be fooled easily, otherwise if you fall into the emperor's trick like the silver fox, Not to mention being ruined and ruined, it’s not worth it to join the Anxili family’s 100,000-strong army.”

"Since everyone thinks that we can't act rashly, I can only do it with reluctance. Pass on the order, put the entire army into combat readiness, and immediately send scouts to the surrounding areas. It is best to be able to understand the specific situation of the enemy."

The Marquis of Birmingham looked at the anxious and red faces of the generals, and let out a long sigh. He looked as if he was extremely guilty for not going to the rescue. In fact, the devil wanted to rescue Spinlian, he was the most important. I want to say, let us withdraw to the border immediately, but I really can't say it, but rescue is definitely impossible. Spinlian's 100,000 troops have filled in, and only 20,000 of our own are going to Seiya. Sewing? But by withdrawing like this, once the news of the destruction of Spinlian's 100,000-strong army spreads back, he would be passive. The generals were right. With the experience of Silver Fox's tragic defeat, he would be even worse than Silver Fox. He didn’t even know he was dead!

"Yes, sir!" the generals replied in unison,

The Marquis of Birmingham did not know that just when he was holding an emergency meeting, in the middle reaches of the river beach in the camp, the Imperial General Estante bent down and stretched out his hand to test the speed of the water in the turbid current of the river. In the afternoon, the weather was gloomy, Thick rain clouds were pressing overhead, and Estante, who looked calm, heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the downstream direction, and a small black dot was galloping quickly.

"Lord Estante, we found the camp of Martin Liya Army five miles downstream." The imperial scout came galloping from the downstream direction, reined in the horse in front of Estante's horse, and reported loudly and breathlessly.

"What is the size of the enemy?" Estante raised his head and asked without moving.

"About 20,000 people!"

"Then it should be the case. Martin Liya Kingdom indeed sent a partial force to the side!"

Estant nodded, with a smile on his lips. As the nominal adjutant-general of the coalition forces, Estant's status in the coalition forces was far more awed by the coalition leaders than the little-known Crimson Erdo. Among the coalition leaders In his eyes, this famous imperial general and gold medal fighter who has risen like a comet in the past two months is the real commander of the imperial army this time, and the crimson Erdo is just a puppet.

So at this moment, the dozen or so coalition generals beside Estant all held their breaths, not daring to take a breath, but their eyes were full of admiration. As expected, Estant is indeed one of the famous generals in the mainland. Special, just taking advantage of the other party's opportunity to ask for help, he found the partial division mentioned in the intelligence. You know, even the Empire's Southern Intelligence Department, which provided the intelligence, did not Dare to be too sure about the existence of this partial division, because it is said that this rearguard army, which is the main support of Martin Liya, was a secret order personally given by the Martin Liya royal family, because Stam's defeat had an impact on the morale of Martin Liya's army. Extremely, in order to avoid another huge defeat, we specially arranged a partial force as a support. It is just a guess to find the person who wants to find out the information.

And now, the speculation has been confirmed

"The entire army rested on the spot and spread out in a fan-shaped encirclement an hour later."

Estante ordered to the coalition generals behind him. The sound of countless feet stopping, the neatly arranged armors and bayonet rifles could not be seen to the end. The crowds were surging, almost crowding the upper reaches, 400,000 coalition troops, 20 Ten thousand people are on the front line of Crimson Erdo, and one hundred thousand people are behind as a reserve team. The remaining one hundred thousand people are searching here under the leadership of Estante. At the front is a forward composed of three thousand imperial cavalry and thirty thousand coalition infantry. The eyes of the coalition generals flashed with wonder. In the strange light, no one made a sound, only the sound of horses' hooves trampling restlessly back and forth on the ground. Under the iron helmets with various symbols, there were excited faces. This battle will completely eliminate Martin Li Ya's power on the Western Front. The military power that can tear open the defense line of the most powerful country in southern Europe is unimaginable for the generals of these eight central countries. Now, they will personally attack and rewrite the shame of the soldiers of the eight central countries. Thirty years of history!

"Hua Hua" the rain fell from the sky like short beads, and a layer of white water curtain covered the surrounding area of ​​the earth.

In the middle reaches of the river, the wind blows in the face, mixed with moist water vapor, and shrouded in a layer of catkin-like mist. A blurry, rapidly expanding black line appears in the middle reaches of the river, and the faint sound of horse hooves hitting the ground is heard. sound. The horse's hooves stepped on the soft soil, making a snapping sound. Scout Martin Liya, who had just dispersed, stopped his horse and nervously raised his head to look in the direction of the sound. A shrill sound suddenly resounded throughout the land. "Empire cavalry!"

This sound was like an explosion. The black-armored cavalry swept across the ground like a strong wind, galloping towards the downstream river beach. The rain hit the armor and a burst of white water appeared. When this black line entered the field of vision of the scouts of Martin Liya Army, , already less than a mile away from the camp. Because of the extremely fast speed of the advance, the black army of imperial cavalry The line arrived almost at the same time as the alarm sent back by the Martin Liya scouts. While hearing the urgent report from the Imperial Cavalry, the Martin Liya men watched dumbfoundedly as a black line flew down from the upstream position. The alarm from the scout made The Martin Liya soldiers in the camp were stunned. No one expected that the imperial cavalry would come and kill them at this time.

"Oh my god, it's the Imperial Cavalry!"

"Quick!"

"What are you doing to prepare for the battle?" It was like an explosion.

The camp suddenly became a mess, with soldiers running around, the cavalry running towards their horses, and the infantry putting on their armor in a panic. The messy situation was like a hornet's nest being stabbed.

"My lord, the Imperial Cavalry has been discovered!" The equerry stumbled into the Marquis of Birmingham's military tent and loudly reported.

"How is it possible? How did the imperial cavalry find this place? Even Spinrian only roughly knew that we were downstream." The Marquis of Birmingham suddenly stood up, with confusion in his surprised eyes, as if he had been tapped on the tail. Like a rabbit, he had no idea who started the fire. After frowning for a few seconds, The Marquis of Birmingham punched the table with an angry look. "I was really killed by Spinrian this time. The Imperial Cavalry must be chasing his messenger for help and found ours." The Marquis of Birmingham guessed that the Imperial Cavalry was chasing the messenger for help. came, but he guessed another thing wrong, that is, the imperial cavalry’s target was his partial division.

"Sir, the Imperial Cavalry is coming!"

"What! What are you doing in a daze? Order the infantry to go up first!" The Marquis of Birmingham shouted with a pale face. Although he was a lord's private army, he had a cavalry force of three thousand people, which was considered among the lord's private armies. It is quite a rich family. You must know that although the Martin Liya Kingdom claims to have hundreds of thousands of cavalry, it is actually impossible to support such a number of horses. The real number of cavalry is only about 170,000 or 80,000, and the rest are infantry.

It's just that the Martin Liya infantry exists as cavalry to assist the infantry, so Silver Fox's direct army can drag out a group of 30,000 elite cavalry. In fact, it is already one-sixth of the cavalry strength of the Martin Liya Kingdom, so the 30,000 elite cavalry Stam was overthrown by the First World War. Even the wealthy Ansili family could not bear it. They were so distressed that they almost vomited blood. For Martin Liya, it was even more shaken.

The Imperial Cavalry was coming with such ferocity that the Marquis of Birmingham did not dare to invest his precious cavalry force into this collision for a while. Everyone knew how powerful the Imperial Cavalry was. The Martin Liga Light Cavalry was completely unable to compete with most of them from the front. The armored imperial cavalry started fighting. There was no need to let the expensive cavalry troops be lost in vain.

"I, the warrior of Martin Liya, have never fallen behind, and the infantry followed me!"

Someone in the Martin Liya army shouted loudly, and they saw General Martin Liya rushing out first. Behind him, a large number of Martin Liya infantry came out.

In front of the Martin Liya infantry, the imperial cavalry has rushed in with a strong wind, bang bang bang! The man in front was immediately knocked away, unable to dodge and stabbed down by the cavalry's spear. The sound of metal clashing was mixed with the shouts of fighting. The two troops were entangled like two metal monsters squeezing each other, with swords, swords, shadows, flesh and blood. Flying, galloping war horse They passed each other, and the imperial cavalry above was shaken and thrown off their horses. The Martin Liya infantry rolled to the ground during the squeeze. Bright red human blood spattered from the horses passing by, and the horses' hooves stepped heavily on the blood flowing In the rain, blood spattered on the armor.

The first wave of impact caused the defenders at the Martin Liya camp to be torn apart.

The imperial cavalry rushed in like a torrent, and the imperial cavalry drew out their large barbed flails for close combat. It was thrown around in the crowd, and when it hit the shield, sawdust suddenly flew everywhere, and the white wood stubble was exposed. Martin Liya infantryman stabbed the spear in his hand desperately, regardless of whether it could hit the target. The spear tore open the armor of the war horse and penetrated deeply. The war horse neighed tragically. The impact of three thousand imperial cavalry completely attracted Martin. The attention of the Liya Army and all the scouts originally sent out were withdrawn and used as cavalry combat forces. No one noticed the black mass of spears and spears surrounding the perimeter.
