Realm of Power

Under the city of Bosad, the earth was white in autumn, and the breath of early winter was becoming more and more obvious. The main force of the empire that the people of Aden had been waiting for finally appeared on the battlefield. Groups of imperial troops wearing heavy armor appeared in the direction of Bosad. The battle flag flutters, the black armor sparkles like the sea, and the red tassel on the top of the helmet sways like fire in the wind,

The black thunder gods lined up on the wall of Persad, and dozens of imperial ballistae made of steel were once again pushed up the city wall by the soldiers. They were not pushed directly to the battlements, but two or three meters behind the battlements. At this position, bundles of refined iron crossbows were piled on the ground. The Imperial infantry heavy crossbowmen squatting near the Imperial crossbows all wore armor made of Carefully crafted by military craftsmen, a whole plate of steel protects the chest, and the arms are made of scales made of tough leather strips and armor. These imperial heavy crossbowmen piously poured a red juice on the front of the arrow cluster. , and then placed each one flat in the gap behind the battlement, like a sign that the devil is marking the life that is about to be harvested,

The Imperial Army regiment of 24,000 people finally gathered in the direction of Bossad, like a sword that had been sharpened, waiting for the wind to draw blood. This killing atmosphere was wrapped in the desolate wind, and the Imperial Army flag was also there. Tight as a knife in the wind

Tobras, commander of the Fourth Army of Aden, glanced at the head of the city of Besad, which was waiting in front. He slowly raised his right hand, and his expression changed from excitement to seriousness. The entire Obaro knew that the Imperial Army was known as the defender of the city. Invincible, but Aden’s general troops gathered on the Bassad battlefield at the moment The strength has reached 150,000, while the Imperial Army has only 20,000 people, which is almost seven times the force ratio, giving the generals of Aden absolute confidence. Now even a fool knows that the Imperial Army has fallen into In the trap, there is no suspense about victory or defeat. The difference is whether they are all annihilated or missed.

If seven times the force cannot defeat a single Persad, we Aden soldiers should commit suicide in shame! Toblas took a deep breath,

Hundreds of infantry teams were spread out densely in front of Persad, making it a sea of ​​​​people. Military flags rolled across the entire land, and spear formations were lit up in perfect order above each infantry team, as if a sword full of ferocious murderous intent was about to be unsheathed. In front of these regular army ranks were densely packed large numbers of slaves, 80,000 The number of slaves serves as the largest cannon fodder group for the attackers. They are densely packed with people, like a black tide. Eighty thousand cannon fodder is used to fill the walls of Persad. It is not enough!

"Take Persad, take Persad!"

Countless swords and guns were raised together, and they let out bursts of shouts like landslides and tsunamis. Under the military order, thousands of troops moved forward, and tens of thousands of people swarmed the forward attack line. Just the deafening shouts all around were enough to stimulate the excitement. human adrenal gland A large amount of secretion gives people a feeling like being attracted by a large whirlpool. Life and death are all forgotten. Groups of slaves roll in one after another like waves, covered with arrows, suddenly killed by heavy crossbows, and densely attacked by longbowmen. The arrows were swept in rows,

Bang bang bang! Crossbows filled the sky, and the Imperial heavy crossbow arrows with diamond-shaped blood grooves as thick as a child's arm plunged into the attack line, causing a bloody mess. Countless white lights flew from the top of the city. The Aden Slave Army Company was Before he could see anything clearly, he was head-on and beheaded. The blood from the sky fell like raindrops. Flesh and blood flew everywhere on the front line. The slave army wearing only cloth clothes was so powerful and heavy. The crossbow arrows often pierce the first person's body, and they have to pierce two or three people before they suddenly plunge into the ground. The sticky human blood flows down the fine iron arrow shaft, and soon forms a The pool of blood mixed with the minced meat and the stumps torn apart by heavy arrows were scattered around like broken toys, and long paths of flesh and blood that were more than ten meters long were directly punched into the crowd!

"Come on, all the slaves press forward. Those who retreat will be killed on the spot!"

The Aden army supervisors frantically pushed rows of Aden slaves up. Countless heads were densely packed under the city of Persad. The ground was like a chess piece. The Aden people never regarded the lives of slaves as life, not to mention that these lowly slaves were used for consumption. The imperial army's defensive firepower and 80,000 slaves are enough.

The densely packed heads are pushed forward, like a kind of hypnosis, and the human blood boils like boiling water. Whether they like it or not, they will be swept forward by the advancing army.

White smoke rose up from the top of the city. There was a roar and violent explosion. Hundreds of fireballs with long black tails roared down. Huge air waves exploded to the surrounding areas, and the eardrums were shaken and buzzed. The first reaction of the unprepared Aden slave was to squat on the ground. For a few minutes, nothing could be heard. The only thing that could be seen were balls of fire, and the remains of severed fingers falling from a high place like rain. The surrounding air seemed to be affected by a huge and inexplicable wave. The pressure was the same, as if scars and cracks were being torn apart in the earth.

The red fire shredded into pieces, and the dazzling explosion flash instantly illuminated the entire vast wilderness. The bright red fire became increasingly fierce, and the wooden flagpole was severely broken into two pieces from the middle. The star-and-moon flag was like a sky. The flying butterfly pieces were circling and dancing, and the explosion was like a volcano rushing out of the ground, standing The people on top were thrown into the air at once, and then scattered like a goddess scattering flowers. Layers of corpses piled up into small mounds, and blood flowed along the cracks in the ground. You can feel human blood when you step on it. The injured people were pressed in the pile of corpses and screamed for help. No one had time to pay attention.

"Mom!"

"Run!"

The slave army in front was still gritting its teeth, but now it was completely blinded. Like a duck being squeezed, the Aden slave army collapsed in the dense explosion of fire. Many people instinctively covered their ears, or Many people were shaken by the sound of the explosion like a thunderbolt, and their faces turned pale and they fainted on the spot. After a while, debris and ashes piled into the sky, making people feel the indestructible destruction in the explosion area. The bright light clusters were still drawing beautiful and cruel arcs representing death in the sky, sweeping away like a series of muffled thunders. The Aden slave army was full of people fleeing, "Go back and continue the attack!"

"Kill anyone who retreats without permission!" Aden's regular army supervisors arrayed themselves behind the slave army. The spears in their hands came down together, like a long sharp line blocking the back of the slave army.

The thin figure of Captain Flos, the captain of the Aden war team, stood at the back of the war team. Looking at the mountains and plains in front of the slaves who were unable to stop themselves from collapsing, he raised his hand with no expression on his face and shouted "Archer" to the two war team supervisors. Qian Yading Archer Chao He raised his bow and arrow at 45 degrees in the air and brushed. As Flos's arm fell violently, a large white light flashed. The arrows hit the crowd of escaped Aden slaves like a storm. The whistling and falling arrow clusters were like the god of death waving past. The sickle, ah! The slaves in Aden howled miserably, and bloody arrows were shot into their chests, and pieces of flesh flew out from their backs. Such a tragic sight scared other slaves who escaped and stopped in their tracks.

"Go back, if you don't want to die, go back and continue the attack." Flos shouted sternly, and the slaves turned around again,

The fire was still burning under the city. A large number of slave troops pressed forward and were quickly defeated. The empire's firepower on Persad made all the Aden generals who watched this scene pale. The battle situation was in full swing. In the eyes of Commander Toblas, the firepower of the empire is indeed shocking. The three-layer strangulation line composed of the Imperial Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow, and Thunder God was so daunting that even the Aden regular army would not be able to get close to the city wall of Persad without leaving behind four or five thousand corpses. But now the Emperor has sent such a noble The firepower is poured on low-value slaves, which in itself is a precursor to victory for our side.

"Now that the Imperial Army is bitten, don't try to run away again. Send the order and let the slave army attack day and night. Regardless of the loss, the Imperial Army must be nailed to Bossard!" Toblas said with a smile at the corner of his mouth, behind him The long cloak of cicada flowers and vines with dark gold patterns was fluttering in the wind. He did not take the losses of the slave army into consideration at all. The slave army was just cannon fodder. If they didn't die, how could they stay and consume the scant food?

"Sir, I just received news that the six troops we sent to transport food were blocked by refugees. The number of refugees who attacked the convoy this time was huge. Two troops have been overwhelmed and the food was looted." The adjutant said from The horse came up from behind and whispered in Tobras's ear breathlessly.

"What's going on? There are more than 2,000 private troops in each team. How could they be overwhelmed by slaves?" Toblas looked shocked and confused. The refugees brazenly attacked the supply convoy escorted by the military. This was completely impossible before. However, this summer, the southern Gulf of Aden suffered from a drought that lasted for more than three months, and there was no rain. Naturally, there was no harvest, and for this war, Toblas, as the deputy minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, not only obtained tens of thousands of slaves from major families, but also in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, surrounding areas All the grain was purchased as military supplies for this war, which exacerbated the food shortage in the south.

There was not much food, but all was taken away by the army in the name of combat supplies. Now even the small nobles in the south are hungry. The food crisis in the southern Gulf of Aden has become very obvious, and large numbers of people have appeared in many areas. It is common for everyone to starve to death, but for the noble lords in the southern Gulf of Aden, the food crisis But it has become the most rare time to make a fortune. In order to increase the price of food, the noble lords even secretly united to hoard food. This resulted in that there are only two types of people who currently have food in their hands. One is the army, which obtains food from the region. All the food was turned into military supplies, and the other kind was the noble lords who hoarded food.

"Sir, do you still remember the imperial cavalry that forcibly broke through that night? They attacked many plantations in the rear and freed all the slaves in the plantations. In order to eat, these slaves have begun to gather to attack and capture the food stores. Little lords, according to reports from the next two provinces, more than 170 plantations were looted by the imperial cavalry. Thirty-seven minor lords were killed, with mountains of corpses and rivers of blood flowing. The castles of many regional lords were also attacked by refugees... The adjutant looked ugly and hesitated to speak. He was originally broken into A cavalry is not a big deal, but now that all the surrounding troops have been gathered by Tobras in the city of Besad, the area behind is empty.

Even the slave army of the regional nobles was drained. Thousands of imperial cavalry rushed in, and they were completely plundering without any resistance, plundering the lords and freeing the slaves. It was written in such cold words. But when you are really there, you know the tragedy. The Aden nobles who oppressed the slaves were tortured and killed by the slaves. More and more slaves were released. Several areas north of Bassad have been It's a whirlwind of chaos, everywhere is in chaos

After listening to the adjutant's words, Tobras couldn't help but gasped. He didn't expect that these slaves had developed to the point of intercepting military supplies. How audacious! For these despicable slaves who executed their masters, they should be nailed alive to the tree trunks on the roadside and let the crows peck out their eyes and their internal organs. "My lord, if reinforcements are not sent immediately, I'm afraid..." Adjutant Cautiously reminded

In Lushan, the fighting was fierce. The scarred Aden infantry raised their shields and swords, desperately maintaining the defense line. Around them, at least tens of thousands of Aden refugees surged towards them. Most of these refugees were killed by the emperor. The Aden slaves released by the * team were wearing various styles of clothes and holding

Several feather arrows passed by the sides of his head and ears, and the strong wind they brought up made the Aden Army General Jacob's cheek hurt. There was a scream from behind, and then a body fell heavily on Jacob's back, and then he felt the hot liquid splashing on his back. It was obvious that it was the blood pouring out of the man behind him. Pushing away the body on his body, Jacob's face was so ugly that his whole heart went cold. It was simply too much. Strictly speaking, Jacob was not a combatant. He was just an officer in charge of logistics and transportation. He is twenty-six years old and comes from a famous family in the south of Aden. He came here on behalf of his family this time just to get some military glory. Who knew he would encounter such a scene?

The slaves, who have been hungry for two or three days, can no longer care that this is a military logistics transport team. People are crowding and hugging each other, like hungry wolves that have smelled the smell of blood. People gathered around me, and it was like hell for more than a day. There are fires everywhere, columns of smoke rising everywhere, and corpses everywhere. Half of the two thousand family private soldiers under Jacob's command have been killed at this moment. The weapons of those private soldiers have also fallen into the hands of the slaves who besieged the transport team. The people who were shot just now The arrow cluster coming over is,

Above the low ancient city wall in the smoke and dust, just rounds of arrows flew out. It fell on the Aden slave who wanted to get closer, splattering countless blood. The Aden slave, whose eyes were red with hunger, still stumbled forward. Soon, all he was treading on were limp corpses. When everyone fell, their eyes were wide open, as if they were waiting for something.

Everything around him turned blood red, and Jacob's chest rose and fell rapidly as he panted. Every time I took a breath, my lungs hurt. Fortunately, this transportation team was a private soldier of the Jacob family. Because it was structured with the family as a link, its combat effectiveness was quite strong. When Jacob found that he could not escape suddenly, Jacob retreated to Lushan, where the terrain was easy to defend. But the transport carriage can only give up
