Realm of Power

More than 10,000 horses were abandoned on the south bank, and nearly 100,000 Martin horse cavalry on the north bank could only watch like this, watching the compatriots who were driven into the cold winter river struggling in the river, shouting incessantly while rising and sinking, and On the river bank, heavily armored by the Empire The cavalry squeezed the Martin Liya Cavalry, who could hardly stand. The man who was killed fell over on his back. Countless arrow clusters as dense as locusts stabbed into his body at once. Blood spattered out, and he screamed shrilly, as if from the sky. Exploded out of the chest!

"I can't stop it anymore, let His Highness go quickly."

"If you don't want to die, just leave. Get in the water. Get in the water quickly."

The sound of weapons breaking through armor, the sound of people groaning and screaming, the sound of war horses whining and falling to the ground, and the heart-wrenching sound of sharp weapons cutting into flesh and blood, sounded so densely that the south of the river seemed to have become a It was similar to Shura Field. In order to prevent the Empire's heavy armored cavalry from rushing into Spike's position, the Martin Liya Cavalry pressed forward like crazy, using their flesh and blood to block the heavy armored cavalry's advance.

Spike climbed onto the stone bridge under the cover of the guards. The last line of Martin Sharptooth Cavalry finally couldn't hold on any longer. Behind them was the icy cold river. Under the crowd of people and horses, many people entered the river. On the water of the river, There were people and horses swimming desperately towards the north shore everywhere, and soon they were floating There was a layer full of human corpses and horse corpses, crowded together. As the river water turned left and right, there were so many that even the turbulent river water was stuck, turning into circles of chaotic whirlpools and crashing into these corpses. On the way, tens of thousands of Martin Liya cavalry crossed to the south bank, but in the end less than a thousand returned to the north bank.

On the south bank, the imperial heavy armored cavalry stopped twenty meters away from the stone bridge. On the north side of the stone bridge, none of the Martin Liya people were standing anymore. They were either corpses or injured and struggling in the mud. The two lines The surrounding Xiting cavalry were like shooting targets. Several arrow clusters hit a wounded soldier at the same time. Soon, these wounded soldiers were no longer around. One of them said something. They attacked all the way. Most of the black heavy armor on the imperial heavy cavalry was dark red. It was the blood of the killed Martin Liya people. The weapons in their hands were even dripping with human blood. The armor of the men and horses was like The iron barrels looked like they had just rolled out of bloody water. The stopped horses were still spraying white smoke heavily from their noses.

Behind the Imperial heavy armored cavalry sweeping through, corpses were strewn across the land. Broken swords and spears were everywhere, and almost deformed corpses of men and horses were trampled. Tens of thousands of such corpses were crowded into a place no more than three or four hundred meters away. in the range,

"Tamp" a heavy sound of horse hoofs came, and the Empire's heavy armored cavalry dispersed from the middle. They saw an Imperial cavalry general wearing heavy armor slowly coming out of the corridor that the Empire's heavy cavalry gave way to, and ten meters away from the opposite side. Under the sharp-toothed gaze of the ten thousand people, he glanced disdainfully and took a quilt in his hand. The severed Martin Liya military flag was randomly thrown into a puddle in front of the horse's hooves. The military flag was embroidered with gold thread and had the eagle shield on it. The puddle on the ground had long been dyed red by human blood. The flag fell. Entering it, the pure gold spire on top of the military flag is quite eye-catching even in the pool.

The imperial general glanced at the Martin Liya army on the other side of the river, looking like a hungry wolf looking at its prey, which made the Martin Liya soldiers feel a little scared because such a scene was so weird. The heavy armored cavalry is like a devil, and behind it is a battlefield of flesh and blood like a huge grinding wheel.

The cold wind blowing across the wetland from the other side of the river hit my face, and it was as cold as a knife.

For both warring parties, the bloody smell that pervades the entire world has already turned the coldness into a sky-high fighting spirit. The other side is obviously showing contempt and provocation.

"It is the main flag of the Eleventh Army of Lord He Hui!"

On the north bank, someone among Lord Martin Liya recognized the flag, and his face was even more ugly. It was the main flag of the Eleventh Army that had crossed the river to the south bank. The Eleventh Army could be the main force in crossing the south bank, and it was extremely powerful in itself. A strong army, and why is Martin Liya's famous veteran general? How long has it been since this war? The powerful force that could rank in the top ten of Martin's force turned into corpses on the other side of the river. Even the legion commander He Li was unable to evacuate in time and was crushed into mincemeat by the imperial heavy armored cavalry. The main flag of the 11th Army was directly used by the Imperial Army to humiliate it, perhaps because it was too eye-catching.

An army of 100,000 people was hit hard in the face by a mere 30,000 to 40,000 people from the opponent. This kind of thing has never happened before in the history of the mighty Martin Liya.

At this moment, there was a sound of silence on the north bank. Countless Martin Liya cavalry just held their weapons tightly, and their eyes were horribly red. This time they were really embarrassed. After beating the south bank, they were beaten again. People rushed back from the south bank. This embarrassment can be said that the main force of Martin's Liya Army, who was still arrogant at the beginning, was completely lost.

Tens of thousands of casualties and a large number of wounded soldiers were slaughtered on the south bank. Miserable sounds came through the river wind.

Stay steady, you must stay steady, you must not mess up your position, it's just a small mistake, it doesn't count, as long as you can fight through it, fight back! Spike's face was even more terrifying and cold. He murmured in a low voice, clenching his hands and trying to suppress his trembling shoulders. The numbness and trembling of his body resonated with the whole world, and a buzzing sound filled the surrounding air. Here, the bloodthirsty impulse and the lingering fear after being injured will all be mixed together.

If he was still the former crown prince of the Il clan, just a reckless man known for his force, then this humiliation would be nothing. Many people had been defeated by the imperial army, and even the Silver Fox was not killed in Stam. I lost my armor and almost lost my life, but this is no longer the case.

He is Spike. He is regarded by the lords of the three tribes as Martin Liya. He is a wise commander who has not been seen in a century. He is a young and handsome man. For this raid, everyone planned together for more than half a month. Five hundred thousand Martin Li Ya's man moved forward with blood. Everyone went all out and fought for two days without any regrets. In the end, he had to retreat due to the situation. But no one thought that they would be blocked here. If they lose confidence, the lords of the three tribes who have already supported themselves will be shaken. I feel sorry for these people who have come all the way for the rise of Martin Liya. The Martin Liya people whose bones are buried in the Holy City, in order to cover their evacuation, resolutely cut off the life and death of their subordinates who fought until the last moment.

However, the two stone bridges in front of him were already in deadlock. No matter what he did, he could not let hundreds of thousands of troops pass through the two narrow stone bridges in one go. And if he could not gather a considerable amount of troops, then the situation just now would happen again. As a result, how could the situation become like this! Spike couldn't figure it out. He had rehearsed this assault on the Holy City no less than a hundred times, calculated various possible scenarios, and thought he was 100% certain. But at the moment when the imperial army launched a counterattack, everything went into chaos. The two fronts thought they had been defeated, and the Imperial Army unknowingly took the southern front's rear route. This completely subverted all the possibilities he had imagined before.

Not to mention, here, hundreds of thousands of highly mobile cavalry, on a flat terrain, could not suppress a mere 30,000 to 40,000 imperial troops. He had never fought such a battle before. Such a battle. The situation is even more incredible. He was not defeated, but he had to retreat because of the situation. He had enough military advantages, but it was difficult to move because of the terrain.

What's this! Is this also a war?

He considers himself to be a strategic genius. Even if he is still a little far away from the mainland's top strategists, it is only a little. He is confident that with the absolute advantage of troops and the first move, this gap can be ignored. Regardless, although the opponent is recognized as the God of the Continental Army, he is still a human being after all. Faced with a strong attack by an army of 500,000 Martins, and the Holy City being cut off in one fell swoop, even if the opponent is really a god, it is absolutely impossible. To resolve this crisis in a short period of time,

And what he has to do is to hold on for three days. After three days, no matter how the battle in the Holy Capital goes, he will be a successful star. He will be a famous star who fought against the God of the Continental Army and escaped unscathed. He will also seize the world. With unimaginable support and prestige, the El clan will inevitably rise. Even if they are no longer a royal family, they will still become the most powerful person in Martin Liya.

However, it has only been two days now, and I have taken advantage of all the time, place, people and people. How come I am now in a difficult situation? Impossible, this is really inconsistent with his imagination. Spike's brows were knitted together, and his mind was even more chaotic. His clenched fingers dug into the palm of his hand, and there was a heart-breaking pain.

It was so smooth when they came here that the 100,000 troops divided into three ways to cross the river without any difficulty at all. Even I didn't even bother to cross this river, but I didn't expect that the empire just crossed it. The other bridges were demolished, leaving two stone bridges, and it became a dead end that no one could fight or move forward!

Only now did he realize that in the hands of real strategic masters, it turns out that all the mountains and rivers of the earth are powerful soldiers. Compared with this, how superficial and ridiculous it is for him to be proud of raiding the Holy City." No, His Highness is probably confused. "

The lords of the El tribe noticed the wry smile on the corner of their crown prince's mouth, and were shocked inwardly. After all, His Highness Spike was still a little younger after all, and his combat experience was far less rich than those of those veterans on the battlefield. Many of them were At that time, facing the ever-changing battle situation, what I reacted to in the shortest time was still what experience pointed out. As the commander of an army of more than 100,000 people, I was confused and thought that I couldn't win. How could I fight in the future? At the critical moment, a middle-aged Il tribe lord stood up decisively and said, "Your Highness, this bridge was deliberately left by the imperial army. We can't be fooled anymore, but there are too many of us than the other side. If we don't walk on the bridge, we There are other ways, we can build a floating bridge to get over! "Floating bridge? "Spike's heart was shocked, and his somewhat distracted eyes began to regain their vitality. Yes, why did he forget that he could build a pontoon bridge, the simplest way? There are a hundred thousand troops, and there are enough horses, and there is woodland on the side of the river. , it is very convenient to cut down and transport wood on the spot. This river It’s only about thirty meters, and it won’t take long to build a pontoon bridge large enough for the army to pass through! If one is not enough, then hundreds of thousands of them will always be enough.” , not only can our army quickly cross the river, but we are no longer afraid of interception by the imperial army! "The Il clan lord paused. At this moment, someone is needed to excuse Crown Prince Spike from his previous mistakes. He deliberately showed an annoyed look and gritted his teeth and said, "We were all deliberately left behind by the imperial army. The two stone bridges confused my eyes, so I didn’t even think of the most basic solution. "The imperial army was too cunning and deliberately left two stone bridges to lure us. Let’s build a floating bridge and kill them." "Yes, build a floating bridge and kill them." past! "

The faces of the other lords were excited. They were like wild dogs that had been kicked hard for no reason while sleeping on a winter night. They roared with murderous intent in their teeth.

Which scene just now stimulated them too much? The empire bullied people too much. They relied on heavy armored cavalry to crush them on this unique terrain. If the army was not restricted at the stone bridge, a few thousand imperial heavy armored cavalry would be nothing. Since the stone bridge If it's too small, then just build a pontoon yourself. There is a woodland not far away, as long as there is enough wood Enough, you can fight as many as you want. As long as the army can cross the river smoothly, even if it encounters another sudden attack and crushing, the troops behind can support it, instead of being like now, they can only watch their compatriots being killed. , swept away by the rapids, and thrown into the pile of dead people like abandoned dogs!

Spike regained his composure, glanced at the black army of 100,000, and once again felt the strength coming back. He straightened his back and said firmly, "Give the order and go all out to build the pontoon bridge!"

Martin Li Ya's army mobilized across the entire line, leaving only 20,000 people to monitor the other side of the river. The other 70,000 to 80,000 people rushed to the woodland on the edge of the river, quickly mobilizing manpower to cut down the trees on the side of the river, using the weapons in their hands as logging axes. The woods in winter are already dry, and they are even more susceptible to brittleness in the cold winter. Following the bursts of slogans, large tracts of tall forest trees tilted and fell, and the thick trunks hit the ground heavily, causing smoke and dust to fly.

As the core of the rule of the Order State, the Holy City is also called the God's Chosen Land by the Order State. The forest vegetation has not been cut down for countless years. Some of the tall tree trunks are even more than 30 or 40 meters tall. They are simply connected. No need, just tie it up a little, as long as Pushing it over, you can directly set up on the opposite river beach. A large number of war horses are used as horses to pull wood. The smoke and dust they drag fly up. From a distance, there are more than 100,000 people. From a distance, they look like countless small black spots. Countless torches light up the river bank. The north shines red "Your Majesty, after being forced back to the north bank, Martin's army began to build a pontoon bridge on the river!" An Imperial Guards officer walked into the military tent and reported to the black-haired emperor who was examining the map in front of him, "Oh, it seems Not all of Martin’s teeth are filled with them. There are still smart people out there, and finally someone thought of the pontoon. It seems I don’t have to sit there all night! "The black-haired emperor's black pupils shrank slightly, and he stood up suddenly, pressing his right hand heavily on the map, with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth! Upturned

The two stone bridges are just prefixes used to inspire Martin's army. The real trump card is actually the rushing river.

If you have a pair of eyes that can penetrate the black night and stare down from high altitude, you can see that at a secret fork seven or eight miles upstream, more than ten large imperial transport ships are linked by iron chains, lying on the river, like a A huge pontoon bridge connects both sides of the bank, and the waterway It became violent and turbulent here, and the impact of the hull and deck made a snapping sound, and even rolled its half-meter-high water waves. With such a huge impact, as long as the iron chain was disconnected, these large transport ships would be under the influence of the beam. , turned into the most terrifying heavy hammers and went straight downstream,

On the south bank of the river, outside the Imperial Emperor's military tent, 50,000 Imperial Guardsmen who had gathered from the direction of the river were already waiting solemnly. Their armor was clanking, their battle flags were straight and collapsed with the wind, and they were densely packed with towering cold spears pointing toward the sky. , like a long silver arc dividing the earth, the infantry encircled and suppressed the cavalry. Grouping is difficult, but if this cavalry group has traveled long distances and fought fiercely for two days and two nights, the people and horses have not eaten since seven or eight hours ago, and they still have to run around for transportation in this cold night, in the bitingly cold Build a pontoon bridge in the river, and eventually face a huge catastrophic impact

Both military mentality and human physical strength have limits. What will happen if the limit is exceeded? I also want to know!
