Realm of Power

"Order! Grenadier attack!"

The messenger cavalry from this formation, with their horseshoes flying, galloped past a special formation like a sharp arrow.

The queues were arranged neatly, with military flags hanging in the wind, and they were wearing heavy armor. No one spoke, and the crowds were all in darkness. Everyone listened to the deafening sound of fighting coming from the front, and the only sound was the plain wind whistling through the gaps between the queues. , the entire continent of Opalo knows that the armor of the Imperial Army is all pure black, but the armor of the soldiers in this army is extremely dazzling red. The helmet is red, and the tassel is also red. From a distance, the neat queue looks like a burning red fire on the earth. Under the helmet are faces that have been tanned by the scorching sun, and slightly infected by the atmosphere of the battlefield ahead. They have a pair of gloomy red eyes, and on their chests are the most proud white thorn flowers in the entire imperial system, which represents their identity, the emperor's personal guards!

Twenty thousand imperial grenadiers are deployed here, not on the front battle line, but about a hundred meters behind the entire blocking line. The low-lying land in front forms a slope that blocks the view. The coalition forces on the opposite side are The force behind the slope of the low-lying land cannot be seen. As the secret ace force of the empire, facing the terror of these grenadiers in front of them, during the unified battle of Ikadiva that day, The largest and most brutal Battle of Staros, the last fighting will of the 300,000 Riedian Army was destroyed by the grenadiers, and the person who commanded the grenadiers that day was precisely the current Imperial Commander-in-Chief. Varisian, the method of placing grenadiers to lurk behind the army line, to put it bluntly, Varisian completely copied what the Falcon Emperor did in the Battle of Staros.

After hearing the order to prepare for battle, Franklin, the commander of the 4th Grenadier Regiment of the Imperial Guard, stepped out of the queue. He held out the white thorns coat of arms representing the Imperial Guard on his chest. He shouted to the grenadier captain who was arrayed in front of him, "I don't care how elite warriors you were once and how much glory you once carried. These are all bullshit in front of me." He can throw out all the explosive bombs and still come back alive! He is a qualified grenadier! "Remember, you are grenadiers now, not heavy infantry. Don't act like that." In the past, you were like heavy infantry, charging forward and fighting to the death. You no longer have that. You have replaced the sharp swords before. But you have more terrifying weapons, with your explosive bombs, let the group of coalition wastes on the opposite side know what is fear and what is the real god of war!" Franklin's voice spread far and wide! Far, murderous He glanced at everyone's faces before raising his hand, "Remember, if anyone withdraws before all the explosive bombs are thrown, I will chop off his head without mercy! There are no cowards in the Imperial Grenadier!" Franklin's lowered hand pointed toward the slope ahead. Countless Imperial soldiers are fighting fiercely on that line, "Raise the drums, move in with the whole regiment, defeat them!"

Franklin barked orders. At the left end of the grenadiers' column, hundreds of drummers stood. The tin drums were hung on the shoulder straps of their armors with long ropes, and they listened to orders. The drum hammers fell uniformly at the same time, bang! Bang! Bang! The neat and heavy drumbeats shot straight into the sky with a booming breath. As if being hit by the hostility of the world, the always clear sky was rumbled with continuous muffled thunder. The grenadiers are a branch of the brave. Not everyone can face the oncoming enemy. The brave and stable generals Throwing the explosive bombs lit in his hand, Fatty authorized each grenadier regiment to be assigned three hundred drummers. Such treatment was only available to the grenadiers in the imperial army.

"Forward!" Accompanied by the sound of drums, the Imperial Grenadier formations with their heads high and their chests high drove up the slope like waves. The red armor emerged like a red line behind the Imperial battle line.

Suddenly there was a rush of blood and noise, unfolding in front of all the Imperial Guards grenadiers. The attacking enemy rode a strange big horse (camel), ignoring the sharp infantry heavy guns and smashed the comrades in front of them. The body was penetrated, and blood mixed with bones and dregs spattered onto the face. He still rushed forward like a madman, relying on brute force to shake the imperial heavy infantry. The defense line was too numerous to count. Those who were stabbed in front were picked off from their horses by spears, and people from behind immediately made up for it. The feeling was like seeing a large nest of ants biting them. The sugar cubes that landed on the ground were endless, no matter how hard they were killed, the sight alone was enough to make people breathless. The density was so dense that even the corpse at the front could not fall down.

In order to break through, the 400,000-strong coalition army had completely spared no effort to surround this low-lying area, not caring about casualties at all. They lined up one team after another. Even the imperial heavy infantry was pushed backwards, like the hull of a ship heaving left and right in a storm.

The fierce battle has been going on for more than an hour. The entire defense line is full of fighting. Corpses are piled up half a meter in front. The enemies are still densely packed and impossible to count. They are just pressing on the slope layer by layer. At such a close range, Under the jostling and collision, the camel cavalry of the Aden Army were opening a gap. The commander-in-chief of the Aden Army, Duke Jinghua, was fully encouraging the camel cavalry to charge desperately. , showed a daze at the Imperial troops that suddenly appeared in the low-lying areas, but were not worried. The Imperial cavalry they saw at the beginning had been transferred to the right line for reinforcements. Although the Imperial infantry that came out were the same Wearing heavy armor, but there don't seem to be many in number. The front is almost penetrated. What's the use of having an extra 10,000 or 20,000 people filling in?

In the eyes of the coalition forces, the approximately 20,000 imperial troops should be the reserves mobilized by the emperor to fill the precarious holes in the defense line. The camel cavalry of the Aden Army has cut into the low-lying land like a machete. The reinforcements can play a minimal role. Once the defense line breaks through, the imperial troops behind the defense line will be scattered by the defeated soldiers, but soon, as thousands of soldiers Thousands of red fireballs flew over a distance of more than 30 meters, were thrown out from the army in an arc, and slammed into the group of Aden camel cavalry, boom, boom, boom...continuous The sound of the explosion and the blood filled by the burst of light covered the low-lying land. At the location of the explosion, the Aden Camel Cavalry was blown away like a toy in the hands of a child, "Asshole, what's going on!"

Duke Mali, the commander-in-chief of the Aden Army, who was behind the main force of the attack, was knocked off his horse by the hot wave of air and when he got up. He could only see a place thirty or forty meters away from him in front of him. Further ahead, there was already a cloud of smoke and dust. At such a distance and still like this, one can imagine what a terrifying scene it would be in the center of the explosion. In the diffuse smoke, dense For example, the sound of beans exploding is not very loud, but if thousands of explosions sound at the same time. And it continued to ring for several minutes, which was another story. Countless objects flew up in the light groups, some flew high into the sky, and then appeared indifferently in the eyes of everyone. The standard curve fell, and there were the corpses of the soldiers that were blown to pieces, and there were also the twisted and deformed shields that were blown up.

Broken weapons, countless dust and gravel. All the objects inside were like leaves flying in the wind in the exploding light group. They were light and fluttering, making various rotating postures in mid-air, but in the end they were all without exception. With the top facing down, it was smashed into the wet and soft soil below.

Although the explosive bombs are powerful, the camel cavalry in Aden are dense. It severely limits the power of the explosive bombs, and also creates a more concentrated killing surface. The heavily armored camel was like a wall. The torso was hit by countless small iron pieces. Blood was lying on the ground. The entire side was beaten into a sieve, and gurgling gushed out from countless large and small wounds. dripping with blood, dyeing the ground red like a stream, breaking into pieces The stone particles flowed inside. Even so, at least three to four thousand Aden camel cavalry disappeared like this, as if a piece of it was dug away from a huge black cloth, revealing a large and shocking bright red scar. , the entire battlefield almost stopped at this moment,

"Woo!" The shrill horn sounds from the front. If a sharp sword pierces the ear of Duke Mali, the commander-in-chief of the Aden Army, who has fallen into a semi-sluggish state, his pale and bloodless face will no longer have the arrogant and confident look it once had. , his eyes were distracted, as if his soul had been taken away in one fell swoop, leaving only a body. He couldn't believe that the terrible scene just happened right in front of his eyes.

Covered by a series of explosions, the damage caused was second to none. The worst thing was that the camel, the mount of the camel cavalry, was frightened into complete chaos. The camel had never seen such a thing. Even the most rigorously trained war horse, in such a dense explosion, It will also fall into panic and panic, let alone a camel.

The Aden Army's assault formation was completely in disarray. Many frightened camels crashed into the emperor's spear array. The imperial heavy infantry's bayonet was like a bulldozer, stabbing the out-of-control camel cavalry to death one by one! When the second round of explosive bombs exploded inside the Aden Cavalry, large pieces of iron and thin iron beads hit the Aden Cavalry fiercely, piercing deeply into the soft flesh of the Aden Cavalry and bringing up pieces of blood. Thousands of people died again

"Take it back, quickly, take it back!"

The Aden cavalry who launched the attack finally collapsed and turned violently, turning their heads and running away.

Behind them, the huge killing surface of tens of thousands of explosive shells was like a huge arc, cutting the 60,000 Aden cavalry into two large pieces. There was more than 20 meters between the first line and the second line. On a wide cross-section, the corpses of Aden cavalry lay all over the slopes and low-lying areas. Half of the hillside was turned upside down, and there were countless black pits densely packed like honeycombs.

The camel cavalry retreated in panic. Some people kept falling from the rolling camels because their camels stumbled. Their mail armor was violently exploded, tearing open countless small wounds, and bright red blood seeped out from the wounds. , countless Aden people with broken limbs lay in the muddy craters that were still smoking, and let out waves of weak shouts,

"The Aden people have withdrawn!" In the direction of the coalition forces, the Aden army's rollback would bring the other troops that continued to press to a standstill. The generals spared no effort to send troops forward in order to hold back the emperor and open a breakthrough for the Aden people. Buying time, but no one expected that when the defense line was about to be torn apart, the situation would turn around.

"Forward!, kill!" The scene just now, coupled with the panic of the Aden camel cavalry, was like a sudden tilt of one side of the scale, from one bulge to another, and the cold metal light showed a chilling feeling in the sunlight. , the two armies staggered, like two huge dragons rolling. Nearly 600,000 soldiers are gathered to fight each other. This is such a crowded area. Wherever you look, there are people fighting fiercely. Because the distance is short and they are fighting to the death, the southern coalition group has an obvious advantage in the narrow area, but the Imperial Army However, his morale was rising. As the camel cavalry's attack failed, the emperor's momentum finally burst out violently.

"Kill!" On the right side of the battle line, the imperial cavalry troops began to charge. The sound of galloping horse hooves was like rolling thunder in the heavy rain. The 20,000 imperial cavalry who had been waiting for a long time launched a strong attack at this moment. The earth was at this moment Trembling violently. The galloping cavalry was like a black sword forcibly piercing the side of the coalition troops. Countless cold lights rolled. It was the cold light caused by the imperial sword fiercely hitting the heads of the coalition soldiers. Yellow-white brains mixed with blood came out of the heads. It exploded out, and the war horses mercilessly knocked away from the coalition soldiers blocking the front. Thousands of light cavalry followed up at the same time, throwing javelins in their hands, stabbing the coalition heavy infantry blocking the front. turn

The war horses are like thunder, as unstoppable as the iron current. Countless iron-hoof war knives were like sharp knives, cutting along a certain incision visible to the naked eye, revealing the bright red flesh inside.

"Everyone come with me and stop the imperial cavalry at any cost!"

The commander-in-chief of Harvey's army, Duke Feitai, the mad lion, suppressed his face and turned red. He shouted to the cavalrymen behind him,

In order to break out of the encirclement, almost all the troops of Harvey's army surrendered, and other countries were similar to him. There were not many Guards left around at this moment, but compared to the threat of the Imperial Cavalry, even if the Guards died, there would only be Can fight to the death

Otherwise, once the imperial cavalry is allowed to break into the battlefield calmly, the entire coalition team may even be swept in. At that time, it will not be as simple as a temporary collapse, but a complete collapse, and the emperor will kill them all the way until the last person.

Think about the tragic situation of Fei Shan's army in the Battle of Bavaria. They ran for dozens of miles and were still followed and killed by the emperor. No one of the 300,000 troops survived, and you know how terrible this result was! (To be continued...)
