Realm of Power

The situation in front of them was completely out of control. Liugang City, which was originally thought to be a supply place, turned into an empty city at this moment. The Aden landing force, who thought they would win the first battle and make a lot of gains, found themselves like a punch with all their strength. It hit the air. Not only did it not hit anything, it even sprained its wrist. The army only carried ten days of rations, and it had been consumed at sea for five days. If no food could be found within five days, the 60,000 Aden army would There will be a shortage of food Dilemma, and facing the solid walls and clear wilderness of Liucheng Port, let alone supplies, there is no food at all. Such a simple and cruel reality is placed in front of the entire Aden Army. Now that they heard that food was found, in the silent conference hall , although the generals of Aden said nothing, they all looked eagerly at Field Marshal Cateus, "Sir, since it was God who allowed us to discover food, we should follow the will of God!" Someone among the generals whispered.

Cateus took a deep breath and glanced at the eager red eyes of the generals. Although he felt that there was something wrong with the discovery of food at this time, Cateus did not think that Six Cities Port had the ability to compete with tens of thousands of people. The Aden army is capable of fighting, so what if there is an ambush? Do the Central Asians really dare to attack tens of thousands of Aden elites?

Cateus' eyes fell on two of the Aden generals, and he ordered sternly: "I now order Abel's 7th Army and Gulabok's 11th Army to immediately follow the fleet to the north. They must catch up with each other and bring the food. Cutting it off, the opponent only has three or four thousand city guards, and your two armies combined exceed fifteen thousand. Even if you really encounter a trap by the Central Asians, the combat power of your two armies is enough to deal with it. You must be there. Bring the food back before the sun rises tomorrow!"

"Yes, Marshal!" The two Aden generals stood up and saluted with joy on their faces.

Seeing Cateus handing over this huge military achievement that was almost free of charge to the two of them, the other generals' faces were full of envy. The Aden 7th Army and the 11th Army were both newly added units, and their combat effectiveness was only considered In the middle and lower part, if it is a frontal battle, these two legions can only be placed on the side and cannot serve as the main force at all, but Cateus It is reasonable to assign this task to these two legions, because these two legions are light-armed troops that are easy to move, which will help minimize the number of ships dispatched by the navy. The navy still needs to be responsible for the main force. In Liucheng Port If supplies cannot be provided, having one more transport ship return for transportation will provide additional protection.

"Go ahead, don't let me down." Cateus looked serious and nodded in return.

Soon, one hundred and fifty transport ships loaded with two legions, escorted by fifty Aden naval ships, left the main force of the huge fleet floating on the sea of ​​Liucheng Port, awkwardly made a turn, and adjusted their direction. , splitting the waves towards the north. At the front of the fleet was a long and narrow hull, extremely fast sailing clipper guiding the ship. This was the guide ship sent back by the exploration fleet to report. Following the direction of the coastline, The fleet is extremely fast under the influence of ocean currents

"How far is it from here where the convoy was found?"

Abel, the commander of the 7th Army, stood on the guide ship and glanced at the coastline that was like a huge arc on the side. He looked at a road extending forward like a long dragon. He couldn't see the end at once and his eyes narrowed into a line. This batch of food is a matter of life and death for the entire landing army. This time Asia The Ding Kingdom invaded Central Asia with all its might, and if there was a disastrous defeat in the first battle, and the news spread back, no matter how highly regarded Marshal Cateus was by His Majesty the King, he would not be able to escape the domestic calls for punishment. Marshal Cateus is still like this , as one of the first generals to land in Aden, China, the consequences will probably be even worse."

"Judging from the time, we should be able to catch up at night!" the captain who guided the captain answered him

In the dark night, the moon with a white aperture moves through the fog, revealing a large area of ​​incomplete light and shadow.

The fat man stood on a soil slope, with his head on his back, looking at the sea under the moonlight in the distance. The white moonlight reflected on the blue sea, as calm as a huge piece of blue glass. Behind Lu Yangyu is a large dense forest. In the lush season of June, the dense trees have lush branches and leaves. It is so dense that even sunlight during the day can hardly penetrate the leaves directly and shine on the ground below, let alone at night. The empire's 20,000 troops are in this dense forest, of which 13,000 are They were the imperial guards, and the other six thousand were the infantrymen of the Imperial Bank Banner Corps who accompanied Lu Yangyu south.

In front of the forest, countless bonfires were like starlight. Thousands of Imperial Guardsmen wearing Zhongbia leather armor were sitting around the bonfires. The light of the bonfires illuminated hundreds of transport vehicles lined up next to the camp. on carriage

Lu Yangyu was wearing a piece of Zambian armor and had a general's sword on his waist. He looked a bit like a soldier. He walked up from behind, his eyes fell on the back of the emperor in front of him, he hesitated, and said in a solemn voice, "Your Majesty, Six hours have passed since the people from Aden came into contact. Have people noticed something? This is the highest point on the edge of Longchang, and it is close to the coastline. The terrain is high in the middle and low on the four sides. When the fire is lit at night, people in Aden will be able to see clearly. If you want this batch of food, it should have rushed up by now."

"It doesn't matter whether the people of Aden realize that this is a trap or not. What's important is that they know that here is the food they are bound to get! And don't you think that the wind tonight is mixed with other scents?" Empire The corner of the emperor's mouth curled up in disdain, his eyes shining like stars in the night sky, drifting on the vast lawn in the distance intentionally or unintentionally.

"Other scents?"

Lu Yangyu's face showed a hint of surprise at first, then his expression changed immediately.

The emperor didn't say anything. He really didn't pay attention. But at this moment, the feeling of danger made his hair stand up. He could also smell the wind blowing towards his face. There seemed to be a strange smell. , it feels like some kind of spicy plant, this kind of Lu Yangyu is no stranger to the smell. The people of Aden have the habit of using this plant to bathe. Over time, the whole body will have this smell. The people of Aden have become accustomed to such a smell, but for other people, these smells are very strange. easy to identify

The lawn in front is full of Aden people!

Lu Yangyu's body trembled and he looked forward. The camp was downwind, and this smell came from upwind. How many people were needed to make the wind smell like this?

Just when Lu Yangyu wanted to take a closer look, he heard the grass two to three hundred meters in front of the camp moving. It seemed like something was scraping the grass that had grown up on both sides of the road over the years, like It was an invisible big hand that was deliberately suppressing something. Not only did the people from Aden come, but they also stayed for a long time, so that the wind smelled like this.

"Attention, enemy attack!" A shrill cry came from the sentry tower of the camp.

"Kill!" There was a roar of killing, and the grass in front seemed to come alive. Countless black shadows suddenly surged out from inside as if they were equipped with springs. Countless broken grass roots were blown by the wind. It exploded, and under the light of the camp fire, you could see countless Aden soldiers wearing light armor, holding small bucklers in their hands, pushing toward the camp gate like a wave.

"The whole army is pressing forward! Don't fall behind the Eleventh Army!"

Abel pointed the scimitar in his hand forward, and his slightly hoarse voice was like a dull thunder. Under the cold moonlight, the Central Bian camp in the distance was so eye-catching. Under the bonfire of the camp, the bright Aden scimitar was like a fiery red tear. As the night fell, as the first group of Aden soldiers rushed out, more Aden soldiers jumped When they came out, the Aden people had been in the grass for an hour. In order to avoid setting fire to the food if they were discovered by the camp, the tens of thousands of Aden soldiers were like lurking wolves, and they only dared to follow the dense bushes and grass on both sides of the road. Slowly approaching the camp, the moment it approached the camp, it finally turned into a torrent

"Advance, kill"

"Come in and protect the food!" The people of Aden shouted wildly. The ground in front of the entire camp was churning. The impact of tens of thousands of people was like a huge arc that was extending infinitely.

The defensive force from the camp also broke out at this moment

"shoot!"

Countless arrow clusters suddenly burst out from the camp, creating dazzling red lines in the night sky, just like countless stars falling down in the dark night. "Pfft!" Countless blood spattered on the Aden army that rushed forward. It exploded, and before the Aden light infantry who were desperately moving forward could get close, they immediately fell over. The Aden soldiers covered in blood stood up staggeringly, and the gate of the camp in front of them opened by itself.

"The door is open!" the people of Aden cheered happily. These Zhongbia people were indeed young people who had never been on the battlefield. They actually opened the city gate by themselves at such an important moment.

"Charge!" The Aden soldiers swooped down and the ground shook. The confused Aden soldiers saw a stream of heavy armored iron reflected in the firelight of the camp speeding towards them.

"Cavalry, there are cavalry in the camp"

The Aden soldiers shouted in horror, bang bang bang, and powerful cold light struck them heavily. When they saw clearly that what was coming out was a group of black armored cavalry, bright red human blood was already in front of their eyes. Shooting out, the stumps and severed arms were twisted into the air by the cold light. The powerful war horses were like a storm whipping up a terrible rain of blood.

"Stay steady, don't mess up"

The small shields that the Aden soldiers hurriedly protected their chests were smashed into pieces like paper. The heavy cavalry guns that came forward side by side felt as if they had been slapped on the chest by a giant. The heavy steel guns were covered in blood. The flowers burst out from the body pierced by the thorns , and then penetrated deeply into the second person's body, stringing the two people together like skewers of candied haws. After defeating the Aden troops at the front, the cavalry team turned back, stabbing the blood-stained cavalry lances in their hands. A long line of blood was drawn on the ground

"What's going on? How could this happen?" Abel looked at the scene in front and felt that his scalp was numb. The situation in front was completely chaotic. Under the flickering light of the torch, his troops had already rushed out from the camp. The Central Asian troops were in a melee. The surprise battle that they thought had the advantage turned out to be one-sided. In such a dire situation, even if the cavalry rushed out of the camp, there were still a large number of heavy infantry coming out. These were wearing black heavy armor and the metal shields in their hands were like huge iron nails, forcibly squeezing the Aden army. The battle line was like a black hammer, hitting the front of the Aden Army hard.

In this kind of ultra-close squeeze battle, the advantage of the heavy troops is so obvious. The Aden people prefer light and fast scimitars. Under the ferocious spike flails and heavy axes of the black armored heavy infantry, even if they are wearing double The captain-level layer of ring armor was also knocked out like a spiral. As long as they were in the collision position, the Aden soldiers broke like brittle wood. The opponent fought fiercely, almost advancing in a row.

Collapse! Just collapsed like that?

Abel was dumbfounded as he watched his infantry collapse under a single impact. If it was a charge ahead, now it was backlogged in front of the camp, unable to even retreat. A large number of people rushed forward, and a large number of people were bleeding. Rolling down, although these prairie people are cavalry, the scimitar of the Aden light infantry slashed hard on the opponent's thick black armor, only a ray of fire flashed, while the opponent's thick and long weapon just swung fiercely, on our side Just a bloody head,

Is this the Zhongbia City Guards? Are you kidding me? After all, my Ninth Army was also a force that participated in the Cornelia War. They had been to the real battlefield in the battle involving millions of people, but in front of these so-called Zhongbia soldiers wearing black armor. In front of the city guard, his soldiers were like a child holding a lollipop who rushed into the house of a group of strong men holding thick wooden sticks to rob someone. In this way, it was like being beaten. The opponent's heavy infantry held the shield and used the tomahawk in his hand like a bloody wave. Before the person could react, his hands and feet were cut off, and a blood red wave followed the night. The wind blew and hit the face of the person behind. In the huge collision, the opponent rushed forward, and his side was chopped down piece by piece.

The disparity in combat power is too great!

"Hold on." Abel's eyes narrowed unconsciously. The opponent's strength was too strong. Now he could only rely on Gulabok, who attacked from the other side of the camp, to succeed.

"Guards move forward!" Abel commanded in a deep voice through gritted teeth. At this time, there was only one way to fight to the death. He did not believe that there were more troops in the opponent's camp to defend. When did the Zhongbia people become so powerful? Aren't they just ordinary cowards? Abel didn't have time to think about this issue now, even if he was Sending out all the current strength of this formation is the best way at present. He believes that the Central and African troops will panic when they find out that they are being attacked from behind.
