Realm of Power

The sky was gloomy like thick ink, and there was no sun in the afternoon. The air was filled with the cold and dry desolation before the heavy rain. The wind blowing against my face was like a comb blowing through the withered yellow grass stems on the white alkali land in front, blowing these withered grass with the wind. Raise up,

"Have you figured it out? Is this really the fish that slipped through the net in Azshara?" The voice was slightly hoarse, like a broken bellows. A white-haired veteran was riding on a war horse. From a distance He withdrew his gaze from the outline of Azshara's city wall and looked at the person next to him. The subordinate asked. On the veteran's thin cheeks, a pair of cold eyes were revealed. The body standing straight on the horse did not appear too old, but more like a heart standing in the cold wind. Gushu, as the most senior king** People, the king's great weapon that had been hidden for ten years, came to the fore in the battle of the royal capital. Gan Kefu had been in the border defense army system for sixteen years. He was very clear about the strengths and weaknesses of the border defense army and the contradictions among the internal generals. In the battle of the royal capital, Gan Kefu The war seems to be the king’s ten years of hard work In fact, the layout is not as stable as the coordination made by this veteran with many years of experience, and it definitely does not have such results. Not all generals can face the disadvantage of twice the number of troops, and dare to persist in winning even when they abandon most areas. belief

For two old men who are over a hundred and twenty years old together, this is the last and most glorious gamble of their lives.

Using the massacre of the southern nobles as bait, they emptied the Royal Guards of the Royal Capital, giving the illusion that the Royal Capital was under-strength, and then induced the military to rebel. Just like playing chess, they gradually reversed the military's advantage step by step, and finally used the military to The internal conflicts between the two sides instigated the rebellion of half of the military's forces, and finally worked together to bring down the military chief. Feletri was completely cornered and slaughtered all the main forces of the southern vassal army. Not only did he consolidate the royal power that had been dispersed for hundreds of years in one fell swoop, but it also opened up the possibility for Feize to expand to the south. If this script continues, Fei Li will Zequan may recover within ten years, and fifteen years later. Annexing the eight central countries, it has the strength to compete with the Falcon Empire, the dominant force in the north.

But now, everything is in vain, with the sudden emergence of the legendary Southern player Lytle. And they captured the important town of Azshara in one fell swoop, and at the same time issued various announcements to the outside world, denounced the Fezer royal family as not having the qualifications to be a king at all, being despicable and having no credibility at all. They massacred their own nobles, massacred their own officials, massacred the allies who helped them, and secretly executed many opposition forces. It was simply a model of ignorance and perverse behavior. The current Feize royal family is a group of villains. At the same time, Lytle also announced that he would respond to the call of Prince Fezer to become the new king of Fezer! This is what makes the Fezer royal family jump the most. This joke is a bit too big

The people of Fezer, who were filled with joy and celebrating the victory of the royal family, were dumbfounded. This change was too fast. The tragic battle in the royal capital had just ended, and the signs of civil war had already dyed half the sky red.

Only a few people knew that Lytle was not dead that day. Under the blockade from the upper levels, most of the Fezer people believed that the southern vassal army was dead due to the slaughter of the royal army. I didn't expect to miss such a big fish, Lytle, a legendary general in the South and a very famous figure in Fezer. At this moment, they not only captured Azshara, but also announced their support for His Royal Highness the Great Prince's ascension. For the Fezer royal family, who were eager to take advantage of the victory and unify the domestic royal power, this declaration was undoubtedly like a declaration in front of the entire South European Basin. Luo slapped Royal Feize's face hard. Prince Feizer is said to have gathered more than 100,000 troops, and there are now 70,000 to 80,000 troops on Lytle's side. In other words, the royal capital area is not as good as when the military rebels and only needs to deal with one direction, but east and west. The war is going on in both directions!

What annoyed the royal family the most was that because of Lytle's declaration, many other provinces that had sent envoys to express their allegiance to the royal family suddenly became swayed again. The supply of supplies that the royal capital had just restored with great difficulty suddenly became unstable. It was cut off seven or seven hundred and eighty-eight

The king's 300,000-strong army seems to be so powerful that even the eastern and western armies cannot compete with it. But if you look closely, you will find that it is not like that.

The royal army's 300,000 troops are now entrenched in the royal capital. There are not even 10,000 troops in the outer provinces. Most of the supplies need to be purchased at huge sums from the west coast. One more day of entrenching means one more day of consumption, and The troops under Prince Feize, who announced that he would become the new king, forced three or four major provinces to side with the prince in just a few days. There was a steady flow of logistical supplies.

Even a fool could see the embarrassment of being pinned to the royal capital despite the strong strength of the royal army. On the contrary, His Highness the Prince did not immediately march to the royal capital to seek help like the military did. For the decisive battle of royal power, the strategic layout is to launch a sweep of the provinces outside the royal capital one by one first, and continue to accumulate strength like a snowball. I believe that it will not take too long to gather a force that is not inferior to that of the royal capital.

For this reason, King Feize, who was already bedridden, once again summoned Duke Gankefu. "The problem in the royal capital must be solved in the shortest possible time. Otherwise, once the eldest prince gathers enough power, it will be more difficult to eliminate it." It would be much more troublesome to kill Feletri. The army turned around and asked Gan Kefu to personally lead the most powerful direct army among the 300,000 royal troops to Azshara. He must kill Lytle, the face of the Fezer royal family, in the shortest possible time. The greatest disgrace is to be wiped out!”

After incorporating the 5th, 8th, and 12th armies of the original border defense army, the army directly under the royal family has expanded its strength from the original 100,000 to 180,000, and through weapons seized from the military Equipment, a comprehensive change of equipment has been completed, and in the center of the royal capital In the central square, the morning mist casts a shadow over the soldiers and horses standing on the forest-like walls like a long line with no end in sight. The white-haired Gan Kefu walked through the passage in the middle of the military formation. The solemn military formation, shining swords and armors, were blowing in the wind. The fluttering double-headed eagle battle flag, the dark and deep faces of the soldiers. Because of the king's request, Gan Kefu, who had been preparing to go south, had to order the directly under the army that had completed preparations to move towards Azshara.

After being confirmed to be Lytle, the 180,000 direct troops began to camp outside Azshara.

Gan Kefu personally looked at the fortress in front of him, his eyebrows tightly knitted together.

Azshara Fortress is worthy of being the frontline used by the royal army to resist the expansion of military power for decades. It is renovated every three years, and with the various creativity of the royal armies in the past, many additions have been made to this fortress. Not only is the scale more than double what it was at the beginning, but the two sides of the castle that were originally just watchtowers have now been replaced by large cylindrical auxiliary castles. From a distance, they look like a giant Four The giant footed beast is entrenched in the center of the earth, with the Lafite Mountains across the royal capital area behind it. People feel insignificance and powerlessness in front of such a huge fortress. Such a fortress itself is a battle that consumes a large amount of the opponent's troops. Built with capital, if the troops are fully deployed, it will become a meat grinding ground that will make the enemy bleed like a river. It is already a portal-like existence. Occupying it is equivalent to stepping firmly into the hinterland of the royal capital.

"What a mistake. We only stationed less than 3,000 soldiers in such a choke point before. Now if we want to take it back, I'm afraid we will lose more than 30,000 people." Duke Gankefu sighed deeply secretly, Azshara Fortress, The maximum garrison strength is enough to accommodate 50,000 people, but previously the king's army was fully After shrinking into the royal capital, such a fortress was basically abandoned. Later, it was re-garrisoned. Because the elites were almost transferred to the directly affiliated legions, the strength of the garrison was seriously insufficient. Even with three thousand people, it was already considered a heavy force, and no one was there. I thought that someone would stab me hard here,

The so-called slave army currently occupying Azshara numbered 70,000 to 80,000 people. Not only did they fill the inside of the fortress, but they also built a circle of simple earth walls around the pillar forts on all four sides. Behind the earth wall, The main body is gray solid granite. The three-story stacked and staggered city wall structure is like a huge and dense spider web entrenched on the land. The densely packed spires and arrow towers exposed during the period are enough to make anyone who wants to forcefully capture this fortress feel uncomfortable. toothache,

But in the eyes of veterans like Gan Kefu, the strength of Azshara Fortress is not terrible. No matter how strong the fortress is, it can only be defended by people. Although the fortress in front of you is strong, it is not the kind that can last for a long time. The slave army did not only have simple weapons and a small amount of armor as expected. Although it was only a visual inspection, what he saw was enough for Gan Kefu to see a lot.

This nominal slave army is nothing like Bilu Lanshan's slaves. Instead, they are all neatly equipped with armors and sophisticated weapons. Although they lack a bit of elite aura, they have already reached the level of ordinary soldiers. Who would believe that there is no support from the Falcon Empire behind this slave army? Lytle slipped through the net that day and was lucky enough to survive. How could he turn around and immediately pull up so many troops? Could it be that an army of tens of thousands of people suddenly emerged from the ground?

Only the emperor who occupied the west coast and owned three million slaves could have such a skill! Could it be that His Majesty the Emperor did this just to make the situation in Feize's country even more muddy? Or is it to let the royal family's military power be crucified in the royal capital?

Although the Feize Kingdom was forced to form a nominal alliance with the Falcon Empire due to the situation, both sides knew very well that they were doing a lot of secret stabbing. If it weren't for the noble army's delay in making a decision, and the army's move south was imminent, King Feize has the idea of ​​using 300,000 royal troops to regain the west coast that was previously ceded by secret treaty. On the contrary, the Falcon Empire is looking for opportunities to mess up the plan of Feize Kingdom! Now the main force of the king's army only has 300,000, and it is still struggling to deal with it. It is like a taut thread. Once one side is broken, what will be the result? Gan Kefu tilted his head and glanced at Ai in front of him. Sarah, I don’t know why, I feel an unknown feeling in my heart,

At this moment, a scout cavalry galloped over. Before he could reach Duke Gankefu, he had already reined in his horse and shouted in a panic, "Emergency battle report, Lord Curedia was frustrated in Blue Valley, Retel The Lord died in battle, and the noble rebels have escaped from Blue Moon Valley!"

"What, how is this possible!" Gan Kefu's old face seemed to have been hit hard by someone. He was almost in a trance for a few seconds. He finally knew where his ominous premonition came from. He assigned three thousand heavy cavalry to How could they fail in the face of tens of thousands of noble troops in Kuredia? What is Kuredia doing? What is Retel doing? (To be continued.)
