Realm of Power

Countless fireballs in the distance were like countless meteors in the sky, trailing long tails of billowing black smoke. They were as fierce as a heavy rain and smashed open the wall of Maju Fort in Yanzhou, which was already shaking. I heard the sound of flesh and blood being hit and exploding.

'Ah!' screams were everywhere, and a large number of round balls could be seen, like marbles coming from a distance, smashing down with a violent whistling sound, not only smashing the defenders above to stagger, but also making them bloody. , even the crenellations on the city wall were smashed for unknown reasons. With just a few pieces, countless rubbles were seen like a heavy rain. Under the powerful potential energy, they were directly scattered and swept away the nearby Wang Tingjun holding shields. Such a tragic situation of being completely suppressed caused the Wang Tingjun in the entire city section to fall one by one. His face is as pale as dust, his military spirit is shaken,

"You bastard Yelujun is obviously a grassland man, how can he be more shameless than the Central and Asian people before?"

"Damn it, if you have the ability, come forward with real swords and guns, right? What kind of skill do you have to use the tactics of the Central Bian people!"

Countless stones swayed against the bloody smoke, some jumped angrily, yelled, and some were at a loss. More Wang Tingjun did not even dare to reveal their bodies, otherwise they would be hit by the thrown stone balls. No matter how thick the armor is, the fleet will never die. Well, those warriors who were still yelling and yelling a few days ago are basically corpses now, and they are all dead in pieces. The Yelu army outside the city seems to especially like to beat up and down like this. If anyone dares to come out from the city wall, they will immediately be fired with hundreds of stone bullets.

After experiencing it a few times, if someone dares to provoke him like this, the Wang Tingjun soldiers next to him will take the initiative to kick him over. What are you doing? It doesn't matter if you are seeking death. 2. Damn it, don't drag other people down, okay? Yelu's army will smash them down indiscriminately. If you die, you will die. You know how many people will die with you!

"Forward, warriors of the Yelu family"

A clear and moving voice was blown by the war wind. Under the fluttering military flag of the Yelu family, Yelu Qiyeguang was dressed in red general armor of the Yelu family, with a long black ponytail, and a beautiful face that looked more like a soldier. The newly born Valkyrie pointed at the castle ahead with a sharp and wind-cold scimitar.

"go ahead!"

The Yelu family's cavalry rushed between the teams. The Yelu army cluster crowded around hundreds of siege tower vehicles was like a huge sea of ​​people surging forward, so dense that it even covered the ground in front of Maju Fort. , nearly 100,000 soldiers made Fort Maju in front look like a reef about to be submerged in front of the waves.

"Forward!" With an earth-shattering cry, the round wooden wheels under the tower truck began to crush heavily on the muddy ground, leaving two deep withdrawal marks. The Yelu infantry following behind raised their The shield, withstanding the rain of arrows from the Northern Court Army, pushed these giant-like siege towers to slowly emerge from the mist in front of White Horse Castle.

"Shoot these things belonging to the Central Asians and never let these things get close."

On the Maju Fort, the Wang Ting army was shooting arrows in the direction of the tower car like crazy. Two queues of Wang Ting archers took turns to throw arrow clusters into the sky. The rockets burning at the front hit the animal skin outside the siege tower. Although the arrow cluster was firmly nailed to it, the flame could not burn because of the obstruction of the animal skin. I saw the flame hanging on the animal skin and fluttering for a few times, and then extinguished on its own.

The royal court shooters on the Pony Castle were dumbfounded. How could they shoot like this?

There are only 5,000 Royal Court troops in the entire Maju Fort, but under the city are a hundred thousand Yelu troops who are holding the power of Lian Kelianjie. After this period of tempering, the morale of the army has become like a sharp weapon unsheathed, even if there is an iron tower in front of it. The city will be chopped down with a sudden force,

What's more, because Maju Fort is backed by Zhongbia, it was never imagined that it would face attacks from Zhongbia when it was first built. Therefore, most of the high walls are facing the north grassland, towards Zhongbia. The city wall on the front is just a random stone structure, which is not stable at all, so there was the miserable scene in front of it where the broken stones were shot indiscriminately.

Bang bang bang,

The tower crane's pedals fell heavily on the broken city wall, building wooden bridges directly to the opposite city wall. The shouts of "kill" were like a storm rising into the sky. The world was gloomy, and black heads were moving on the wall. The two armies finally fought fiercely. impact Together, people crowded together, one siege tower crane after another, the squeezed black spots fell below, countless weapons collided with each other, making crackling sounds, and the Royal Court defenders were forced in like wild wolves. At the end of the road, he roared like a wild beast.

"Come on, traitors who betrayed the royal court, sinners who betrayed the Immortal Heaven, I will eat you!"

"Kill"

"Fight them!" screamed shrilly, and the fight on the overcrowded city wall turned into violent slashing with melee scimitars. Human blood formed dark red streams on the ground, and was sprayed by countless people. The feet were stamped hard, blood splattered everywhere, and the scimitar was broken. , hit the enemy with a tomahawk, and when the bow and arrows were gone, he picked up a handful of arrow clusters on the spot. This was the battle for Yanzhou, and it was not a decisive battle between the old and new royal courts on the grassland. This was a war without concessions. , a desperate blow with all your strength, which is surprisingly powerful.

"Your Highness, I just received news that an hour ago, 20,000 royal guards were dispatched in the direction of Shangjing." A cavalryman from the Yelu family galloped over to report.

"Oh? Did you finally come out?"

Staring at the already strangled Maju Fort in front of him, Yelu Qiyeguang's eyes flashed with a strange brilliance. His fingers under the iron sheath clenched into fists, and he finally printed Wang Tingwei, the new king of Khan. The 20,000 Royal Court Guards, the strongest force in the Royal Court, finally gave up their plan to defend the center of Yanzhou and go to Beijing, and headed towards Maju Fort. It was really good news that God had wished for. Finally, nearly ten thousand Yelu troops were not left in vain. soldiers lost

"Your Highness, it seems that the situation is better than we imagined."

Next to Yelu Qiyeguang, a beautiful woman with a straight nose and a bun on her head, wearing a silver-white ring-shaped gemstone headdress with a beautiful appearance and a bit of heroism, said in a light tone. "Finally, the siege and evacuation of the city some time ago has worked. Wang Ting's idea that they can win by holding on to the capital has been completely shaken, so they took the initiative to send Wang Ting's guards, preparing to use the best skills on the grassland. A field battle will determine the outcome of this war. If the opponent plans a surprise attack, the Wang Ting Guards will definitely not carry any heavy siege equipment. Our army can completely wait for work in Baiju Castle and force the Wang Ting Guards, who have excellent combat capabilities, to attack. Baiju Castle, I just hope that Her Royal Highness the Princess will remember the promise she made to us. After the victory in the Battle of Yanzhou, she can set aside an area of ​​hundreds of miles for my Alger family to settle down."

"As long as we defeat Wang Tingwei and capture Yanzhou, it's only a few hundred miles away, but my Yelu family still doesn't care about it." Yelu Qiyeguang withdrew his gaze from the Baiju Fort in the distance, smiled faintly, and looked at Algernonju. Lia said that this time the Yelu Army launched a large-scale attack on Yanzhou, this woman did come up with a lot of good ideas, the most important of which was to target the 20,000-strong Wang Ting. Wei, Wang Tingwei, as the pro-army of the new Khan, is well-equipped and loyal and fights fiercely. Even if it is against the Baihe pro-army of the Shang Yelu family, it is still better. Moreover, it has Yanzhou and Shangjing as its backing, and may attack like the wind at any time. Come, give the Yelu army that attacked Yanzhou a violent beating. Regardless of the fact that the number of the Yelu family is said to be 100,000, if they were to face the 20,000 Wang Ting guards in a head-on field battle, it is still unknown who would win and who would lose.

Since the Yelu family emerged in the central part of Zhongbia, the influence of the royal court in the north has become weaker and weaker. Just like in the northwest, there are not a few grassland tribes who have left the royal court and embraced the Yelu family. Compared to the Yelu family just in the south, The glorious battle to defeat Xinjing and Linhang in China Ji, Yanzhou is already the last fig leaf that the royal court can try to maintain. If Yanzhou is lost, the royal court's status will inevitably be severely damaged. It will be difficult to order all ministries in the future. This is what Yelu Qiyeguang thinks. To capture another aspect of Yanzhou,

In order to save the last bit of face, Wang Ting will not withdraw from Yanzhou. Since there is no way around it, he can only carry it to death.

But when it comes to dealing with Wang Tingwei, the generals of the Yelu family collectively lost their voices. They are all prairie people. How could they not know the power of Wang Tingwei? Although the number is fixed at 20,000, the number of heavy cavalry may reach five or six. Thousands of people, ordinary prairie cavalry can't stop them at all.

"The whole army came up like a flood. It penetrated the unsuspecting Yanzhou outer line in one day. It should be possible to completely defeat the Yanzhou outer line before the royal court could fully react, and then conquer an entire city in one day. The speed of the walled city is directly towards the straight line to Beijing in the center of Yanzhou at an alarming speed. To advance "" I believe that even the Wang Ting will be frightened by such a result. Although the price paid may be higher, as long as the Wang Ting believes that there is no sense of security for the imperial guards in Beijing, they will definitely send out the Wang Ting guards. To reverse the situation, our army will give it a heavy blow based on the occupied city wall."

"If we advance in a straight line, do we have to build one ship a day? In this way, the losses our army will have to pay will probably be twice as much as expected." A general of the Yelu Army hesitated to put forward the opinion. A straight line approach to Yanzhou and Shangjing itself means that it needs to break through. All the barriers in front must be blocked at a rate of one per day. Such a requirement is quite difficult even for the Yelu Army, which has a large number of siege equipment. After all, the siege equipment is dead, and those who actually rush to fight are still alive.

"Although it costs more, if we can draw out the Wang Ting Guards, as long as we press them in large enough numbers, invest enough ordnance, and fight fast enough, the Wang Ting will not be able to notice the losses of our army, and they will even think that our army The momentum is like a rainbow. If Wang Tingwei is not dispatched, he will not be able to defend the capital even if he goes to the capital."

Algernon Julia's face was calm and understated, her beautiful face as white as a sculpture, as if she was talking about something that had nothing to do with her. At the military meeting before taking Yanzhou, she proposed a plan for everyone to An idea that shocks everyone,

This is a tactic that has never been used by anyone before. The idea of ​​turning against guests, even made the generals of the Yelu family who participated in the meeting pause for breath. Then everyone looked at this unusually beautiful woman from the Western Continent and couldn't help but wonder. There is an extra chilly feeling,

I had long heard that this woman was known as a troublemaker in the Western Continent. She was murderous and ruthless. She was even closely related to the collapse of the once powerful Gallic Empire. She was finally driven out of the mountains by the Falcon Emperor. She thought she was just a murderer. I didn't expect that a woman who was more beautiful and more cruel would have such extraordinary insights!

Even Yelu Qiyeguang was moved. This method is feasible.

The Yanzhou Barrier is a wall-to-wall fortress built by the Central Asians who have invested countless human and financial resources. Especially with the core area of ​​Shangjing as the center, it spreads out in all directions. The castles are densely packed like a honeycomb, with a width of fifty or sixty miles from front to back. , anyone who wants to cross this area, the only The way is to attack layer by layer. No matter how many troops there are, fighting like this will delay the time. The morale of the army will plummet after a long time, not to mention the heavy casualties. Why has no one thought about it? Are those side effects just a straight-line approach to Shangjing?

When the Yelu family's army of more than 100,000 attacked Yanzhou, it was just like this that Longyang consumed it step by step. It took more than a month to reach Shangjing with more than 100,000 people, and there were 50,000 to 60,000 casualties. But in the end, such an offensive Shangjing was still blocked at the core of Yanzhou. Although he had enough siege weapons this time, in fact, Lu Qiyeguang was also unsure about conquering Shangjing. The shadow of the last attack on Shangjing was too great. If the Yelu army attacked Yanzhou, Wang Tingjun would definitely think that they could rely on Yanzhou's solid barrier to give the arrogant Yelu army A lesson learned. No one expected that they would completely change their approach this time.

They would open a gap with uncountable war equipment of the Central and African armies, and then advance towards Beijing at an unbelievable speed. At the beginning of each battle, they would inevitably bombard with uncountable catapults, showing an unstoppable attack power. If they were I'm afraid Wang Ting will be fooled, not to mention that this raid on Yanzhou was originally with the intention of having a decisive battle with Wang Ting in Yanzhou.

"In front of the order, speed up." Yelu Qiyeguang ordered with an excited look. As the order was issued, countless infantrymen of the Yelu family used these siege towers as stairs and pounced directly on the fortress crenellations opposite, slashing fiercely with swords and swords. Kill, the huge numerical advantage is like a mountain Pressed down, the Royal Court defenders on the Maju Fort melted like snow under the sun. In less than an hour, the red and black armor of the Yelu Army was like a sugar cube covered with ants, submerged. In front of us is the barrier fortress known as the Yanzhou Shangjingyan.

"Your Highness, Maju Fort has been taken!" A Yelu Army scout who came from the front line knelt down on one knee in front of Yelu Qiyeguang's horse. Black smoke billowed from the Maju Fort behind the scout. I'm afraid not many people know that, in the direction of Shangjing, the 20,000 Wang Ting Guards, the most powerful of the Royal Court, are rushing towards them with murderous intent (To be continued. ＠中文＠Novel w.)
