Realm of Power

At the end of late autumn, war spreads in Aden

The Falcon Empire, which had just conquered the Upper and Lower Erro Empire, launched an attack on the Aden region from the north and south, finally breaking the battle line that had been peaceful for nearly two years. Just like the North-South War that started two years ago for the hegemony of the Europa continent, Hundreds of thousands of troops are fighting, and millions of people are displaced like rootless duckweeds. But at this moment, the war is spreading across the territory of the Kingdom of Aden.

In early August, the offensive of the Imperial Army was like a sword that easily pierced the defense line of the Kingdom of Aden. Then in just one month, all the provinces in the southern part of the Gulf of Aden were involved in the war. The Gulf of Aden The northern desert area was invaded by the Imperial Army for more than 400 miles at the same time. In order to quickly resolve the Imperial invasion in the south, the Aden Fourth Army, one of the famous two armies of the Royal Capital of Aden, marched into the south to fight.

In early October, a large-scale slave riot suddenly broke out in the southern part of the Gulf of Aden. The Second Aden Army, one of the two armies in the capital of Aden, left the capital.

In mid-October, the Aden army and the imperial army launched a battle in the southern city of Persad... As an inconspicuous episode in the prelude to this war, only a few words were hastily recorded in the records of later generations. In Fangde Hills, the war between the Empire and the Kingdom of Aden has truly begun at this moment.

Shu Ge, the commander of the Third Banner of the Imperial Guards, rode up to the hills in front of him. His eyes scanned the land in front of him sharply. He frowned slightly with the thick brows unique to the Kugit people in the grassland. The area in front of him was called Luofande Hills. , a full 130 miles away from Persad, the center of gravity of the southern war,

The land in front of us is like a broad carpet-like meadow extending into the distance under the hooves of the horses. Under the white morning light, swaying with the wind, the scenery is spectacular and beautiful, but the morning frost is like snow, adding a bit of coldness and warmth. It was tragic. Hundreds of corpses with arrows stuck in them were lying on the ground. The horses that had lost their owners lowered their heads and were eating grass. The blood under the corpses had solidified, turning the ground into bloody mud.

A group of imperial cavalry in black armor were flying past, picking up the fresh wet soil on the ground without mercy and throwing it into the air. In the distance, more soldiers of the third banner of the Imperial Guards The cavalry spread out like a huge fan. Under the sun, it looked like the Kugit grassland. The sparkling light that spread out in the morning slowly moved forward along the scattered woodlands, hills, and river valleys. A group of more than a hundred horsemen were lightly armed archers, slightly behind, with quivers on each side of their waists. The wolf-toothed barbed arrows were pulled out one by one from the corpses along the way. These corpses were all Aden cavalry.

"The ability to encounter our cavalry and retreat calmly seems to be the regular army of the Aden people, and it should be the ace army among the regular army."

The imperial cavalry officer who reported the battle situation to him also spoke highly of the heroic fighting of these Aden people. The encounter broke out in the early morning. 1,500 imperial cavalry encountered the opponent. At first, the imperial cavalry thought it was a private army of nobles. , so he didn’t care, but as the intensity of the confrontation between the two sides increased, the emperor The national cavalry officer quickly realized that the opponent was not a private army of aristocrats, because the opponent fought very tenaciously, wore fine mail armor, and was skilled in combat. It had exceeded the scope of ordinary aristocratic private armies. If the opponent's armor was not thick, it would not have been able to stop them. If our bows and arrows are fired within ten meters, the opponent's losses will be much smaller.

"Ten-meter shooting!" Brother Shu narrowed his eyes slightly. The archer's shooting within a distance of ten meters is a very advanced skill. It mainly uses heavy arrows and is aimed at heavy-armored targets. From these insertions in front of him, Judging from the corpses covered with arrows, many of them were wearing fine armor. This was something that had been suffered in the past. The Aden people I encountered were unique. Even the most sophisticated cavalry from the private army of the Aden nobles that I encountered earlier were only half-armored. However, these Aden cavalry in front of me were all made of steel plate armor, even though the thickness of these steel plate armor was not too thick. , and its defensive power far exceeds that of private cavalry.

Brother Shu looked at the corpse under the horse's hooves and agreed with this. Even when he was being chased by archers at night, he was still able to break out of the encirclement, and his retreat was orderly. It was also based on excellent defense. Such an elite force Cavalry can't suddenly appear Come on, everything on the other side shows that an ace cavalry of the Aden people is targeting them. In other words, the Aden people have continued to send more troops, and they are cavalry units with quite good combat effectiveness. However, this cavalry unit did not go to Bosa. Virtue, biting myself

Brother Shu furrowed his brows and was secretly shocked. This was so unreasonable. Aden left Persad in the center of the southern battlefield untouched, but instead bit him fiercely. The meaning here was very obvious. It's not for Persad, it's for myself. The other party wants to catch me.

It has to be said that the Aden command is also a discerning person. If you hit the snake seven inches, the cause of the slave riot in the southern part of the Gulf of Aden is the third flag of the Imperial Guard, so many slaves, so many manors, if Without the Third Flag of the Imperial Guard stirring things up inside, such a situation would not have been possible.

Therefore, the other party followed them all the way, wanting to completely annihilate themselves, and to put down the slave rebellion in the southern Gulf of Aden from the source, because as long as they find an opportunity to rush into the central area of ​​the Gulf of Aden, they can incite more Aden slaves○31xs网●Rise up and riot

In fact, Brother Shu had several opportunities to break into the hinterland of the Gulf of Aden. However, as the heart of the Kingdom of Aden, the political, military and cultural center, and the face of the entire Aden royal family, Brother Shu must have been heavily guarded. Brother Shu knew that he broke into the central area. In the end, it will inevitably attract heavy troops from the capital of Aden to pursue and intercept them. It is better to just stay in the capital. The king was wandering around, and the other party would definitely not take the initiative to attack without knowing it clearly. By the time the other party realized that he was not going to attack the capital of Aden, he had already returned from the capital of Aden, and was under the watchful eye of the main force of the capital of Aden. , evacuated calmly, not only severely irritating the Aden people, but also slapped the Aden people hard,

It's just that Brother Shu didn't expect that the Aden people would take the initiative to bite him, but the other party didn't expect that his imperial cavalry was horse archers, and it was also composed of sharpshooters drawn from various departments in the East Courtyard. He was caught off guard and the other party wanted to bite him. The striker was immediately stunned by the shot and left behind Hundreds of corpses were evacuated, but one has to admit that even in a disastrous defeat, although many of the Aden cavalry responsible for cutting off the rear were shot to death by arrow clusters, they stubbornly delayed until the other side withdrew before dying here one after another. These Aden cavalrymen were The combat effectiveness of the cavalry aroused Brother Shu's vigilance

Brother Shu's guess was correct, he was indeed bitten

The King of Aden was so furious that he even dispatched all the royal troops in order to quell the slave rebellion in the south in the shortest possible time. The role of the Third Banner of the Imperial Guard was undoubtedly crucial. What he encountered with Brother Shu was exactly what happened. It was one of the two armies of the Royal Capital that quietly left the Royal Capital of Aden. The Aden Second Army is not very good at cavalry combat, but they also know that it is impossible to encircle and annihilate a field cavalry group of 5,000 people on the open ground, so the Aden Second Army just falls behind. , looking for an opportunity to annihilate this imperial cavalry.

"Sir, we lost one hundred and sixty-two brothers, and the imperial army finally went to Boreihes."

Deep in the birch, the fierce and calm eyes of Ramdorek, commander of the Second Army of Aden, were watching the smoke and dust on the distant horizon rising with the wind. Behind him, there were densely packed Aden soldiers wearing light armor. Cavalry. The Aden people are most famous for their camel cavalry. This does not mean that there are no cavalry. In fact, the Aden people The war horses of this species are sturdy and powerful, making them an excellent choice as war horses. The Kingdom of Aden itself has four standing cavalry regiments, with a total of more than 60,000 cavalry. However, the regular cavalry of Aden are currently in Central Asia. The King of Aden Both have two armies, one is a Marine Corps and the other is a Cavalry Corps

For this imperial cavalry force that broke through the defense line, Aden finally released its trump card, the Second Army of the Kingdom of Aden

A mere 20,000 to 30,000 imperial troops can overwhelm Aden and have to dispatch both royal armies. What the hell is going on in this world!

An inexplicable dark color flashed in Lamdorek's eyes. In recent years, in view of the aggressiveness of the Falcon Empire, the Kingdom of Aden has shifted its strategic focus to the east, and finally achieved brilliant results in the Central Asian region. Therefore, the entire country of Aden has Everyone thought that the Kingdom of Aden's national power was at its peak, and everyone thought that the Kingdom of Aden was about to enter the ranks of an empire. However, the cruel reality tore this shallow fig leaf into pieces.

Only tens of thousands of imperial troops entered the south, while Aden has mobilized more than 200,000 troops, but it is still a stalemate.

The sudden slave uprising in the south made the situation in the south even worse, and even threatened to tip the balance of the entire southern battlefield. More than 100,000 Aden troops faced off against the Imperial Army in Besad. The military supplies of these 100,000 Aden troops They were all transported up from the back, and now, this slave riot has cut off the logistics line of the southern battlefield. If the riot continues, the defeat of the southern battlefield is just around the corner.

The South can no longer delay and must fight quickly.

At a military meeting held in the capital of Aden, the King of Aden ordered Tobras to die on the southern battlefield. Within ten days, His Majesty the King would see the report of Bertsad's victory and fight back with more than 100,000 troops. If you can't defeat a single Persad, then all the Aden generals on the southern battlefield can die! The King of Aden, who has always been known for his stability, was now forced to kill people, because news just came that the Imperial Army had penetrated hundreds of miles into the Grand Oasis without anyone noticing, and fought four battles in five days. The Kingdom of Aden was in danger. Nearly 50,000 troops were killed and injured in the Grand Oasis. It can be said that the Grand Oasis annexation plan proposed by the old coach Eagle Woods was completely bankrupt, and the decades of hard work that the Kingdom of Aden had poured into the Grand Oasis were in vain.

The Kingdom of Aden not only lost its general control over the Grand Oasis area, but also lost half of its troops. This is a great irony for the Kingdom of Aden, which originally wanted to use the Grand Oasis to deter other vassal forces.

Other vassal forces that had already resigned themselves to their fate showed signs of getting ready to move again after hearing the news. The royal family of Aden sent four princes overnight to sit in front of these vassal forces. However, this was only a temporary measure after all, and it could really suppress these vassal forces. Yes, it still needs to be a glorious victory,

At this moment, the Kingdom of Aden is eager for a victory that can prove Aden's strength more than ever.

Ramdorek, as General Aden, one of the two armies in the royal capital, has always been known for his sharp perception. He immediately proposed that the main cause of the rebellion in the south was the intruding imperial cavalry. This imperial cavalry is the empire. The most terrifying trump card, the 20,000 imperial cavalry cannot shake our overall situation in southern Aden, but these imperial cavalry Taking advantage of the high mobility of the cavalry, they quickly rushed in, swept away, killed nobles, and freed slaves. It was like an extremely sharp knife. Before Aden had time to fully react, it had already struck hard at the foundation of Aden. Cut off, the Aden nobles as the basic rulers were massacred, and a large number of Aden slaves were released. This is the most deadly

The regular army in Aden has gone on an expedition to Central Asia, and the regional garrison troops have gone to Bassad. Faced with the attacks of the imperial cavalry and countless rioting slaves, the nobles in the southern territories only dared to hide in the castle and everyone defended themselves. , if it continues, southern Aden will have achieved After the victory of the counterattack against the imperial invasion, it will be absolutely impossible to return to the original state in less than ten years. If this intruding imperial cavalry is not dealt with, quelling the rebellion in the south will be a joke. At the meeting, Ramdorek He invited himself to the southern battlefield and received the consent of the King of Aden.

"Just bite the imperial cavalry, and we'll start when the sun goes down!"

Ramdorek squinted his eyes and waved his hand. Golden sunlight began to cover the hills, dyeing every tree golden. Ramdorek raised his head and glanced slowly in the air. The rising golden sundial gave an order to the messenger cavalry behind him. The disastrous defeat of the forward cavalry was nothing, although hundreds of cavalry were lost. soldiers, but it also broke the myth of the invincibility of the Imperial Cavalry. The reputation of the Imperial Cavalry across the world still has an impact on his subordinates. But in the battle last night, everyone saw that the Imperial Cavalry would also be hacked to death. , will bleed. Facing the desperate breakout of the forward troops, the imperial cavalry can only stare.

"As long as the imperial cavalry are made of flesh and blood, that's enough."

Ramdorekmi snorted, and the cavalry moved forward like huge waves in the light. The ground under the hooves of tens of thousands of Aden Rui horses was like iron plows shattering the earth, snap. ! Snap! Snap! The broken grass clippings scattered in the wind as the horses' hooves rose up. The crescent-shaped helmets of countless Aden cavalry fluttered in the wind. The light from the distance shone obliquely, like a large red field burning the earth. The screen spreads infinitely in front of everyone's eyes,

"The whole army continues as before." The slightly hoarse voice was like a dull thunder, igniting the blood in the original body of the Aden cavalry. The forward row of war horses spread out one after another, like a huge arc extending infinitely.
