Realm of Power

The city wall of Getaiya is not very high, only seven or eight meters high. It is completely incomparable to the solid fortresses in the Barrow area of ​​Northern Europe that are often 20 or 30 meters high. It can be seen just from the technical aspects of building the city wall that Southern Europe The Barrow region is obviously weaker than the Nordic Barrow region, but this does not obscure the glorious aura of the Northern Falcon Empire in the Battle of Getaim.

That battle can be seen as the northern civilization's defeat of the southern civilization. From then on, the development of the southern civilization was cut off!

In fact, the civilizational baseline of the entire European Barro continent has always been centered on the Nordic Barro and radiated in all directions. The source of civilization in the Nordic Barro region can be traced all the way back to the powerful Feiya Dynasty that lay on the north coast of the inland sea thousands of years ago. Although Due to the expansion of the Feiya Dynasty to the east, a huge change occurred at the junction of the Feishan and Istan regions, which caused the entire dynasty to overthrow overnight. The major forces under the dynasty rose up one after another. The Feiya Dynasty, which had been briefly unified, had a great impact on Northern Europe. The level of civilization in the Luo region has been greatly improved

Although the dynasty fell in one fell swoop, the various foundations passed down from the Fiya dynasty made the Nordic Barro region overall surpass other regions. The great empires in the Nordic Barro region, such as the Gallic Empire, the Congo Empire and other regions, were Three hundred years ago, the great unification of the region was completed, and the development process from region to kingdom to empire was completed.

However, the baseline of civilization in the Barrow region of southern Europe was the collapse of the Holy City more than a hundred years ago. The civilization of the Holy City was suddenly interrupted. The powerful princes on the coastline who belonged to the Holy City established themselves one after another. The Istan Empire, the Eero Empire, the Kingdom of Aden, The huge half-arc formed by the Order State and other regions, although Although the main body inherited the development of the Holy City Civilization, it also came into contact with the influence of the northern part of the Inland Sea earlier, and gradually began to get rid of the sequence of the southern civilization. The branch achieved the unification of its own region more than a hundred years ago, and Begin to seek the path to achieve Barro hegemony in southern Europe,

Without the strong rise of the empire, or within 30 to 50 years, it is really possible that a powerful civilization would rise along the Barro Coast in southern Europe, complementing the northern civilization. It is a pity that the empire went south. To a certain extent, it was the northern civilization versus the southern civilization. The knife in the middle was the cleansing of southern civilization! ——Excerpted from "The Great Battle of Getaiyami that Overwhelms the Country!" 》Chapter 2 Volume 7

The heavy rain covered the city, and under the black sky, outside the city of Getaiyam in the center of the earth, it was already covered by countless swords.

Various flags rolled in the rain, and dozens of Martin Liya carts filled with soldiers creaked in the mud. Behind them, there were a large number of infantrymen pushing hard, like giant snails with shells on their backs. Slowly moving towards the front, suddenly the whole carriage shook, and the wooden wall panel in front was struck by some huge force. It tore open, sawdust flew everywhere, and a shrill scream came from inside. It was a powerful and heavy Imperial crossbow that directly penetrated the baffle of the cart. Under everyone's eyes, you could see a bright red arrow coming from the cart. It's going to explode inside. "Keep moving forward, don't stop!" Although the officer behind the truck turned pale with fright, he still shouted loudly.

As the distance got closer and closer, the imperial crossbows at the head of Getaiyam City were already turning. The Martin Liya people hiding behind the carts could clearly see the cold light of the steel arrows on the front of the imperial crossbows.

Although the two-story ballista is not small in size, it is not much larger than the height of a thumb at a distance of 100 meters. But now that the distance is extended to 30 meters, it is already quite huge, so the Imperial Ballista At first, they did not shoot at the ballista, but mainly killed the infantry formation under the ballista. But now, the commander in front of the heavy ballista drew his sword and moved forward, shouting with all his strength, "Shoot!" Don't let them lean against the city wall. "Beng, Beng, Beng," the sound of trembling bowstrings constantly tearing through the air. Steel crossbow arrows shot through the cold light, making a loud snapping sound like rain hitting a pipa. The steel crossbow arrows were powerful. The impact on the wooden trolley was like a rolling storm. The wooden trolley was knocked around with an alarming force. Many of the trolleys even had their supports broken and collapsed.

The Martin Liya people tried their best to stall for time. The first wave of attacks overwhelmed at least 50,000 troops. It was a dark and crowded place. Many carts were paralyzed in the middle. The Martin Liya people behind them looked at the people nearby. The city wall was so close that it could no longer control anything. He held up his wooden shield and rushed towards the city wall.

"Charge, charge up!" Tens of thousands of Martin's troops climbed like mountains and seas, clinging to the not-so-high city wall of Yagtaimu like ants crawling on honey.

However, at a height of seven or eight meters, there are weapons in their mouths, people stepping on people's shoulders, and among them there are many strong figures of Martin Liya wearing exquisite armor. These people's weapons and equipment are obviously much better than those of the soldiers, and the fighting is extremely Those who are brave, fearless and fearless of death, and often rush forward despite the dense fire of spears, are these elite officers.

These are the middle and lower-level officers in Martin Liya's army. They have reached the threshold of tribal aristocracy. Martin Liya is awarded honors for military merit. The titles and military positions belong to each family. Generally, the eldest son inherits the army. The only way for the other second sons to get titles is to go to the battlefield. For decades, the Martin Liya people have been like locusts from the Martin Liya prairie. Generally sweeping across southern Europe, Barro and suppressing the neighboring countries are in a state of disbelief. This is because middle and low-level nobles such as Martinliya are extremely aggressive. According to the tradition of the Martinliya people, when a man from a noble family reaches adulthood, if he does not have military merit, If you are alive, you will automatically be demoted to the head of the slave in the family. Although you still have a certain status, there is a huge difference between a master and a servant!

If you don’t want to be a slave, you must either become a soldier, win military honors and become a family branch, or die on the battlefield. The tradition of the Martin Liya people is so cruel and ruthless. This is how generations of young nobles of the Martin Liya are driven to the battlefield. The tradition of Ya people being able to stab their own allies for profit is actually due to this inhumane rule. Whether they can get military honors or not has a great impact on them. "Everyone, follow me!" Officer Martin Li Ya wore a coat Be tenacious and take the lead in every battle Soldiers rarely hide behind, which can be said to be a huge boost to the morale of the entire army. There are many talented people among them. After fighting one battle after another, there are also many people who have jumped from middle to lower-level officers to upper-level generals, and Martin is strong in the middle and lower ranks. Officer's desperate play This can be seen in this battle. In the absence of siege equipment, climbing directly to attack the city is the most primitive tactic of using human shoulders to climb up the seven or eight-meter-high solid city wall of Getaiya. , broke through this important place guarded by the imperial army! It seems that as long as you exert a little more strength, you can crush the city wall and crush it with your feet!

Only this time, these tough Martin Liya officers also met their opponents.

A Martin Liya officer struggled to split open the spear thrust from above, quickly crossed the city wall, and saw the imperial spearmen in front suddenly dispersed. His eyes flashed with cold light. Two spears with a length of six meters, one on the left and one on the right. It was thrust towards him. With such a long spear, the Martin Liya officer had no room to resist. He was directly pierced by the gun.

With a painful groan, his whole body hung on the stabbing gun. The battle-experienced officer Martin Liya still had his eyes open in disbelief. He also had one hand holding the stabbing gun tightly and it was him. Stabbing the spear on the body and slashing violently with the long knife in his hand, but this was completely in vain. The length of six meters was not at all like the one in his hand. The one-meter-long sword can reach a distance. The imperial soldier on the opposite side looked at him as if he were a defenseless chicken. Only then did he realize that this six-meter long gun was fixed on a support frame. , there are two to three imperial soldiers behind each spear, thrust forward with the strength of several people, who can stop it!

The Martin Liya people who crossed the city wall were a little confused for the first time. Many of them were even pushed directly out of the battlements and fell from the heights screaming. The Martin Liya people below were also frightened. They saw their troops. The warriors in the body made various rotating postures, and were smashed down hard. There were various wailing sounds, blood rose in the air, and the people who rushed up looked like they had seen a ghost. In this way, you bump into each other and push each other into a huddle, trampling on each other. Some people lie down to avoid, but their bodies are stepped on by their panicked companions. This is a tactic Varisian learned from Zhongbia. On the city wall, They are all temporary heavy guns that are six meters long and fixed with brackets. There are three or four of them facing each other in a crenel. They cannot kill you, but they can also push you out of the crenel. They are quite practical and cost-effective. low! Rows of icy-cold spears pierced the armor, raising a dark red color like flowers. The elite officers the Martin Liya people relied on most suffered heavy losses, and had to leave dozens of possessions and carts to withdraw like a tide.

"Although the opponent looks fierce, in fact, he has no intention of attacking at all. What exactly does Martin Liya want to do?"

Varisien's eyes fell sharply on the wooden city that was being built in the distance, and his brows were tightly knitted into the shape of a river. He had deliberately compressed the perimeter before, and now he deliberately arranged a large army to attack fiercely, and then withdrew after a slight setback. What do you think? It all seemed to be stalling for time. Varisien vaguely guessed that it was related to the three wooden cities. Suddenly an idea flashed through Varisien. In his mind, the other party would not want to use these three wooden cities to confine the Getaim here. After all, among the three holy capital acropolis, the other two are defended by the Order State, and only the Getaim is The empire is responsible. If the Getaimu can be restrained, the success rate of capturing the other two acropolis will be greatly increased based on the absolute strength of the Martin Liya people.

Cage tactics!

Varisien's eyes were stern and he couldn't help but take a breath. No wonder the other party suddenly mobilized the captured members of the Order to repair the three wooden cities with all their strength, even regardless of life and death. The number of corpses thrown away every day reached hundreds. It turned out that there was no It was just a matter of grabbing time. Unfortunately, when I saw this, it was already too late. The outlines of the three wooden cities had already taken shape, looking south from the city head. , you can see three huge wooden cities forming horns with each other. The Martin Liya infantry that had just attacked and retreated stopped in front of the wooden city. Groups of auxiliary troops behind them also moved the newly built cities like an endless wave. The cart was rolled out again, and on almost every hilly place outside the wooden city, there was a wooden tower set up by the Martin Liya people, which looked like a half-finished spider web.

It’s clear that the imperial army is going to be trapped here! As long as the Holy Capital can be captured, it will actually directly cut off the retreat of the 50,000-strong imperial army of Getaiya. By then, the imperial army of Getaiya will be surrounded by layers of 500,000 Martin Liya people. This is basically treating yourself as a hostage!

I didn’t expect that I, Varisien, would still have this day.

Varisien couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth slightly. The commander of Martin Liya was really bold to a certain extent, but he had to admit that as long as the opponent continued to implement offensive tactics against Getaiyam and used human lives to delay time, even if If you see this, what can you do? As long as the other party captures the Holy Capital and uses its 50,000 imperial troops as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the empire, even His Majesty the Emperor will have to choose to negotiate. Anyone who can think of this is definitely a very sinister person. A genius, I just don’t know who it is! silver fox? It should be impossible. Stam of the Silver Fox suffered a disastrous defeat and has fallen from the altar. Although he has not become a street rat that everyone shouts about, he is unable to have any command over Martin's army. Then there is only one person. Oh, the Spike who drove the Silver Fox away from the battlefield of The Order.

The emperor once mentioned that this Spike seemed reckless and seemed to be a character who only knew how to show off his muscles. However, from his ability to squeeze the silver fox away, it can be seen that this person is actually quite bold, thoughtful and courageous. Extraordinary, this seemingly bold tactic that makes people unexpected for a moment really fits this evaluation.

"Come here, tell the cavalry to prepare!"

Varisien turned around with a cold face. The opponent wanted to use his life to delay time, and wanted to use attacks to delay him. How could it be that easy? Even if I couldn't rush out, I would still stab the opponent with blood on his hands. That's it. In the distance, the Martin Liya people are indeed preparing to continue the attack. The second wave of attack Already prepared, the infantry who retreated in front made adjustments, and more shields were put up. This time it was not just carts, but catapults mixed in. The sound of horns came from the distance, and the dense infantry clusters , the shield is like a layer of tumbling waves in the rain,
