Realm of Power

Although the general attack of the Martin Liya people on the Holy Capital was expected, the surprise tactics adopted by the Martin Liya Army were unexpected. In just one day, half a million Martin Liya troops cooperated seamlessly and attacked the Holy Capital. What rushed in from this direction were 150,000 elite cavalry. They launched almost at the same time as the infantry groups from both sides surrounded the three acropolis. Yes, hundreds of thousands of troops were launched at the same time. The mission goals of each legion. Even the Southern Intelligence Department of the Empire, which had a mole among the top leaders of Martin Liya, was only a hindsight this time. The overall situation of the war, the information known Still rough, all I know is that overnight, half a million Martin Liya people swooped down on the front line of the Holy Capital like a tide.

The army of half a million people was just a number in the battle report, but the feeling of being in it was something else. Around the Holy City, the towns where the Knights Templar troops were stationed were attacked by a tidal wave of Martin Liya cavalry. Submerged, under the dark sky, ten The 50,000 Martin Liga cavalry charged back and forth around the retreating troops of the Templar Knights. Flames and blood bloomed in the wilderness. The main force of the 100,000 Martin Liga cavalry plowed bloody plows through the crowd, tearing them apart crazily. With all the organized troops from the Holy City. At the same time, the remaining 50,000 cavalry were divided into two lines and spread out in a radial pattern to block any reinforcements approaching the Holy Capital.

Suklisha, fifteen miles north of the Holy City

The reason why Salon, the governor of the southwest region, one of the five most important ministers of the empire, was interested in setting up the base camp of the empire's 50,000 southwest army here is because although Suklesa is not a big city, it has always been used as a holy capital to block the invasion from the north. The enemy's barrier is more than ten miles long and wide, and the Russ River in the north flows into the advantageous position of the Great Plains. The situation is directly opposite the waterway outlet of the Northern Great Plains. Five miles to the northeast is Alysia, the waterway hub in the northern part of the Order State. It greatly facilitates the transportation of various war preparation materials for the Imperial Army. Such a strategic location is ideal for For the Imperial Army with waterway transportation capabilities, mastering Suklisa is equivalent to guarding its own logistics line.

Martin Liya's army raided the Holy Capital. The outside of the Holy Capital was blazing with flames. The Imperial Army reacted immediately. Salon immediately ordered to summon the entire army. Because the incident happened suddenly, Salon had no time to wait for the Emperor's order. The 50,000-strong army ventured out, and in the dark night, the Empire's swift cavalry also came flying in, bringing shocking news one after another.

"Martin Li Ya's army has arrived at the Holy Capital City"

"More than 20,000 members of the religious regiment were surrounded by Martin Liya people during the retreat, and the entire army was wiped out."

"Martin's army has surrounded the Holy Capital"

Salon's sturdy body immediately stood on a slope, his eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the fire-stained sky in the direction of the Holy City. As a famous general of the empire who had experienced hundreds of battles, Salon could already feel this through intuition. The force of the Martin Liya people when they pressed into the Holy Capital was probably at least 100,000 or more, otherwise it would have been impossible to create such a momentum. Behind Salon, several imperial generals also had extremely ugly expressions on their faces. The Martin Liya soldiers passed What method was used to penetrate the Acropolis of the Holy Capital? Why is there no news at all? If the Martin Liya people dare to directly attack the Holy City, then the city of Getaiyam, which Lord Varisian is personally in charge of, is probably in danger! "How is the situation in Sulu City?"

Salon withdrew his gaze from a distance and asked in a solemn voice, Sulu City is the closest city to here. In this situation, even if Salon's 50,000 emperors were killed under the Holy Capital City, it would not have much effect. Well, on the contrary, there is no terrain that is sufficient to rely on. On such an open plain terrain, there is no difference between arriving at the Holy Capital and willingly committing suicide.

"The Martin Liya people have invaded Sulu City and are burning and killing them."

The Imperial News rider reined in his horse ten meters in front of Salon, and the news he brought made everyone couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

The flames burning in Sulu City can be seen clearly from a distance of more than five or six miles. It is conceivable that this city located north of the Holy Capital is suffering from the ravages of the Martinliya people. The wind blows across the mountains. The post seemed to be filled with hot breath, and everyone's eyes fell on Salon standing at the front.

The Holy City was attacked. To rescue or not to rescue? What if we get caught in an ambush by the Martin Tooths? Since the situation is irreversible, we can only try our best to reduce the unfavorable situation to the minimum.

"Second order, let's save Sulu City first. With Sulu City as a stronghold, even if we encounter the main force of Martin's cavalry, our army can deal with it calmly." Salon's eyes were cold and sharp, and he turned to the generals behind him and ordered. The sudden outbreak of the battle , leaving him no time to figure out the situation. The 50,000 xi under his command The southern area is mainly composed of infantry, and the Martin Liya people have a considerable number of cavalry groups. Under unknown circumstances, it is extremely dangerous to approach the Holy Capital without authorization on terrain like the Great Plains of the Holy Capital. What he needs most now is, Find out how many troops the Martin Liya people used, and how many troops were on the front line of the Holy Capital?

"Yes, sir." The five generals of the Empire's Southwest Army secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to return to their own troops. As expected, Lord Salon finally gave up on rescuing the Holy City! Although I don’t know how many troops the Martin Liya people used to attack the Holy City this time, it is at least more than 100,000.

"The whole army is marching towards Sulu City!" The imperial swift cavalry with the flag flying behind shouted the order and ran from the side of the infantry group. As the order was issued, the 50,000 imperial regiment hidden behind the mound prepared and set off. The loose team became more and more dense. An hour later, Salon's troops encountered Martin Liya's cavalry, in the dark of the night, hundreds or thousands of cavalry, fiercely rushed towards the Imperial Army, with a little bit of fire, but not long after, the light spread out. , countless cavalry, the two sides encountered each other on the plains about three miles away from Sulu City.

"Swish, swish, swish", more than a dozen light points rose to the sky from the position of Martin's Sharptooth Cavalry. It was the cavalry who ignited the arrows wrapped in fire oil cloth while running, and soared towards the sky as a signal to discover the enemy. This shows that The enemy is definitely not just those in front of them, there are more Martin Liya people nearby, otherwise the opponent would not send a signal immediately. The Martin Liya cavalry on the opposite side mistook Salon's troops as troops approaching the Holy Capital. Why? It might be easy to let it go,

"Send the order, and the whole army will be in formation." Salon withdrew his sharp eyes from the dozen or so fires. The situation in the Holy City is still unclear, but one thing is for sure, the opponent's main force should not be here, then Simply eat part of the opponent first and cut off the tentacles of Martin Liya in this direction.

"Formation"

The neat sound of the Imperial Army's army shook the entire night sky in an instant. Thousands of Imperial infantry were crowded together in the field, with their shields raised and spears like a forest. The Imperial crossbowmen stood in the center of the queue, already holding their hands. The cocked crossbows all pointed outwards, and then, in the middle of the formation, the second formation shouted "formation" and then the third formation,

The Martin Liya Cavalry, which was approaching rapidly, had not fully seen the enemy on the opposite side. Countless spears were already flashing with cold light in the night. More than 20,000 crossbow shooters suddenly raised their crossbows toward the sky at a 45-degree angle. , the neat and uniform movements showed extremely skillful cooperation. With a command, the bowstring vibrated, black clouds rose, and arrows were like locusts, flying across the night sky towards the Martin Liya Cavalry in the distance.

"Attention, arrow attack"

When the achievement made the Martin Liga Cavalry flip on their backs and roll over, the imperial formation looked like a ferocious beast with its bloody mouth open. Arrows flew continuously with almost no pause, which made Martin Liga Cavalry's eyes tremble. Straight up, I felt an overwhelming cover composed of dense arrow clusters, and I was caught off guard. At the same time, the Martin Liya Cavalry faced the countless cold rays of light. Their faces were frightened, and their hands were hurriedly stirred up. They were completely in a mess. The Martin Liya Cavalry was already red-eyed in chasing down the rebels of the religious sect. Under their iron hooves, Under this situation, the resistance of the infantry of the Order State was almost negligible. Most of them were crushed all the way and massacred after being dispersed.

Therefore, these Martin Liya cavalry did not think much and rushed directly towards Salon's troops. However, they did not expect that the attack from the opposite side would be so sharp. Before they had time to dodge and react, the terrifying cry was already close to their ears. "Pfft" the sound of metal piercing into the body, countless arrow clusters piercing into the body, like a storm, beating hard on Martin's teeth. The cavalry's weakly defended bodies were beaten backwards with terrifying blood. Especially the horses that had been hit by arrows were neighing miserably, and their bodies were filled with dense arrow clusters. Their tail feathers were tilted and fell. Under such a saturated attack, it was like... With some huge force, thousands of cavalrymen at the front of the cavalry charge were directly brushed away, revealing a terrifying open space. "Throw the gun!"

In an instant, I saw that countless spears were like broken raindrops, crossing arcs, flying from the sky, and falling densely on the heads of the Martin Liya Cavalry. Puff puff, blood spattered everywhere. Bright red human blood exploded from Martin Liya's body Come, the body that was shot bounced up heavily under the strong impact, and then was penetrated by another stabbing gun. Some corpses were even pierced by three or four short-throwing spears, and the corpses were supported and hung in a suspended position. "The opposite side is not a religious group. **! "The whole army retreats!"

At this moment, Martin Liya Cavalry felt that something was wrong. Looking at his companions who were shot to death intensively, he felt cold all over his body. It was so miserable. The dense arrow clusters and cross-thrown spears almost turned the human body into a There is a big flower garden for flower arrangements. There are also shooters in the teaching team, but there is absolutely nothing like this. This number of shooters, not to mention heavy hurlers, equipment such as lancers has always been a luxury item among infantry. The cost of a good lancer is very high, even more than the price of a good sword. It can cover such a large area with such luxury There is only one country equipped with troops that can throw spears, and that is a wealthy and powerful empire.
