Realm of Power

"We've taken it, we've taken the capital of Paput."

Feize soldiers raised their weapons and cheered loudly. As the imperial flag troops retreated into the royal capital like a tide, they desperately moved forward. Feize soldiers suddenly felt their eyes light up. The arrow clusters that covered the sky disappeared without a trace. They were wearing heavy armor. The heavy infantry like iron gates also disappeared, and all the enemies on the second line of defense withdrew at once. Some soldiers wanted to chase but were shouted back by their captains, "Go and die!" The enemy retreated so quickly, obviously intending to give up. Who can say that there is no ambush ahead? The plateau royal city of Paput itself is mostly made of stone houses. They are like a huge stone maze, a natural fortress. Occupying the city wall only opens a corner of the plateau capital, and there is still a long way to go before the actual occupation. But now that the outer wall has been opened, occupying the plateau capital is only a matter of time.

"Sir, the enemy has withdrawn into the inner city. Our army has taken down all the outer walls of King Paput!" A cavalryman on horseback jumped off the horse that had just stopped. With an excited look on his face, he kneeled violently Kneeling in front of Aomu, the commander-in-chief of Fei Zejun, Fei Zejun's battle flag flapped behind Aomu in the strong wind.

"Sir, let's enter the city immediately."

Feize's generals were also very excited. Although the decision to storm the capital of Paput was confirmed at the meeting, who knows how many troops there are in the capital? If the opponent's troops are sufficient, and the Paput people have spent hundreds of years to build the royal capital's strong walls, it may not be possible for Fezer's 200,000-strong army to smash their heads and bleed like Fezer's Fourth Army in Kaniloa. The entire team was lined up, and fell over like weeds blown by the storm under the dense rain of arrows. Casualties were calculated in thousands. The pile of corpses under the royal capital was almost as high as a man, and the soldiers who were climbing were all under their feet. It was a shocking red blood mark. ◎, If the outer wall of the Paput Royal Capital cannot be defeated, the longer the delay, the faster the morale of the army will be depleted. If the soldiers think that even if they die, they cannot defeat the capital in front of them, even if they are twenty Wan Dajun's advantage will collapse immediately

This is a big gamble, and Omu is betting on the opponent's lack of preparation. The opponent also believed that King Papt could not withstand the desperate attack of 200,000 Feize troops.

As long as the opponent's heart is shaken, this life-and-death battle can only be won.

Omu didn't know yet that King Paput had been scared away, and now he was only holding the Imperial Bank's flag guard. Otherwise, he would have ordered the entire army to hide in the capital of Papute, and guard the plateau capital from both inside and outside. Let's loot it thoroughly, otherwise 200,000 Fei Zejun will fight to the death for nothing more than wealth, women. If you want the soldiers to be willing to risk their lives but fight, you must give them enough benefits and benefits. Before attacking the city, the permission order to plunder the entire city has been conveyed to the entire army. As for the food stocks in the royal capital, there is no need at all. Worry, the king's capital is the center where the entire kingdom's supplies gather, in previous wars. He also intentionally or unintentionally drove the Paput nobles towards the royal capital. Just this rich and wealthy noble house was enough to solve the food and material problems.

fine. Down!

Omu glanced at the black smoke billowing city wall in front, turned to look at His Royal Highness Prince Feize, who was also ecstatic, stretched out the riding whip in his hand, and said with a smile, "Your Highness, the capital of King Paput is in front, please His Highness ordered the entire army to enter the city."

"Do I give orders?"

Prince Feize's hand holding the riding crop trembled. His face was slightly startled, and then showed uncontrollable ecstasy. Omu was so interesting.

The order to enter the Paput Royal Capital was given by himself, so history will only record that he captured the Paput Royal Capital. Aume had pushed this huge achievement in front of him. At first, he was dissatisfied with Aume's attack on the royal capital. He no longer knew where he had flown to. It was said that among the famous generals of the kingdom, Aume I have always been known for being decisive in my methods, but I didn’t expect that there is such a wise and interesting side, reciprocating favors and benefits. Exchange, these are the natural characteristics of the royal family. Prince Feize expressed his acceptance of this great favor with bright eyes, and said as a gesture of goodwill, "General Omu, I have always thought that you have the ability to become the royal minister! If I can return to the country, I will definitely recommend you to my father to serve as the Minister of Foreign Affairs."

"Your Highness, you're welcome." Commander-in-Chief Feize's face showed relief. His fingers that were holding the riding crop finally loosened, as if he saw the sun shining behind the dark clouds. Now he is really relaxed. Just now he was actually pretending. , such a thing as being confident cannot be done on a battlefield where information changes all the time. can exist, victory can only be achieved step by step. Finally, the bet is right. Now there is still one last step. The temptation of plundering a king's capital is certainly exciting, but such an order cannot be given by oneself, otherwise it will be regarded as Returning to Feize, he will also become the target of public criticism for this matter.

Generals who are too glorious often do not end well. If this order comes from his own hands, then he may bear the reputation of causing heavy casualties to the kingdom's 200,000 troops for his own greed! There is a kind of person who has a natural protective ring for doing this kind of thing. To others, ordering the looting and massacre of the city is a kind of bloody cruelty, but for this kind of person, ordering the robbery and massacre of the enemy is a manifestation of the king's style. , will only be appreciated by a large number of important ministers. Instead of getting into trouble yourself, it is better to leave it to such a professional person who carries thunder. This kind of person is a royal family, and there is exactly such a mascot next to Omu, Prince Feize. Your Highness

"Enter the city." Prince Feize raised his hands and shouted loudly at the top of his lungs, causing the entire army to thunder. "Long live, long live your highness." On August 27, Feize's army, which had been fighting for a month, broke into the capital of Paput. , King Paput absconded, and the Imperial Bank flag team lurked until the night when the detachment broke out.

At this time, on a plateau thirty miles away from the capital of Paput, there was a sound of howling wind, blowing straight from the dark sky, across the earth, and the imperial flag crackled. With the sound of the sound, Salton, the commander of the Second Army of the Southern Empire, quietly looked at a trace of red light on the horizon in the darkness in the distance. The light and shadow shone on the edge of the sky and earth in the distance, like a red line. That was the capital of King Papt. direction

"Sir, King Paput has fallen!"

The news brought back by the scout cavalry made the famous Nord general known as the Broken Lion inadvertently stare at the red line in the distance for a moment, and then turned away. That light was the light of fire! Fezer's army's all-out attack on King Papt's capital was beyond everyone's expectations. Salton, who was responsible for leading 20,000 imperial cavalry south from the northern coast, also waited for half a day at the planned ambush position. No trace of Fezer's army was found. Under the circumstances, he quickly led the cavalry troops towards the royal capital, and what he saw was this scene

It was dark and windy, and one could see such tragedy from dozens of miles away. One can imagine the situation in the direction of the capital.

"Sir, do we still want to move forward?"

A general following Salton asked that the fall of King Paput would have a very terrible impact on the entire war situation. To a certain extent, the empire could be said to have lost, because no matter what was behind the empire Whether the Paput Royal Capital can be recaptured? The fact that the Royal Capital fell is there. The protection claimed by the Imperial Bank is already in name only.

The desperate fight of Commander Feize's Army really made the empire seem helpless. This is the naked strength. In this land, Feize's army has a huge advantage of up to 200,000 people, which is enough to defeat the best soldiers. The strategists also feel a headache. The opponent has no need to abide by the rules of playing cards. Now that he has won the capital of Paput in one fell swoop, it is equivalent to having a firm foothold on this plateau.

"Stop advancing. We only have 20,000 people, and we are still cavalry. Even if we see the capital of King Papt, what will happen? Report this situation to the Ministry of Military Affairs immediately!"

Salton turned around and waved his hand. The Second Southern Army was transferred to the north coast of Papt in June, echoing the Imperial Bank Flag Guard entering the hinterland of the plateau, forming a vague strategic control force. Guarantee that even though the Paput army is not as powerful as the Fezer people, they can still hold on. It took Feize people two months. These two months have given the empire plenty of preparation time. With Feize's army breaking through the capital of Paput, the empire's military operations may be considered successful. According to the emperor, Feizeren has the habit of not taking any chances, this time he can be regarded as having his tiger’s beard lifted.

"Is the emperor's target Feize's mainland? With Feize's domestic troops freed up, directly attacking Feize's mainland is a very feasible strategy!" Salton couldn't help but stare at the red line of fire in the distance. After a while, the emperor never considered placing the main battlefield in Papt from the beginning to the end.

At this point, Salton also looked at the fire in the distance and suddenly thought of what kind of person the emperor was. Even if Fei Zejun went against the rules and played rebelliously, he would not play the card of King Papt. After getting rid of it, the only possibility is that the emperor wants to use King Papt as a trap and let Feize's 200,000 troops jump into it on his own.

Whether it is dispatching troops to assist under the cover of the Imperial Bank, or mobilizing the Southern Second Army to arrive at the northern coast of Paput, and assuming a posture of moving south at all times, it is actually more like a show for people to watch. In the end, the Empire After pushing forward the Central Eight-Nation Alliance and cutting off Fezer's 200,000-strong army, Road, they were clearly forcing the Fezer people to jump over the wall and attack the capital of Paput. With this thought, Salton felt that the situation in front of him began to become clearer. Feize's army occupied the capital of Papute against the odds, and laid out a The attitude of sticking to the treatment seems to be stable, but in fact it is equivalent to putting oneself in a dilemma.

In order to rescue Feize, Feize must mobilize more troops to break through the blockade of the eight central countries. From this point of view, even if Feize is a big country that has dominated the west coast for a hundred years, how many elites will it be able to continuously mobilize? I heard that due to the blockade of the sea area in Feize, many supplies in the country are in short supply. The supply of 200,000 troops has been hard fought for two months. It is already the end of August, and winter will be in two months. Food supplies will be even more scarce. Lack of it, the real strength of the empire has not yet been dispatched, and the Kingdom of Fezer is already gritting its teeth over there.

The emperor only used a small amount of troops. Not only did he divide the Feize Kingdom's troops, but it also depleted its national power. This was a huge profit! Let the enemy weaken unconsciously, fall into a desperate situation without realizing it, launch the final blow at the critical moment, and determine the direction of the entire battle in one battle. Isn't this the emperor's sinister style? (To be continued.)
