Realm of Power

The early winter sun is like a layer of pale white clouds projected from the blue sky of varying thicknesses, shining on the fields that have been harvested outside Xinjing in Central and South Africa. The temperature is even lower. Sun Qizhu is holding a hemp willow tree. Stick, tiredly looked around, there was a long queue of refugees fleeing from Xian County, Aden The army suddenly turned around, and Xianxian County was already in flames of war. The 20,000 Chinese and Belgian defenders fought desperately. They didn't know whether they were dead or alive. At first, they just regarded Luzhou in the south as a joke. Unexpectedly, Xianxian County turned into a After entering the battlefield, the confused, cautious, and frightened expressions were mixed with the cries of children, hunger and exhaustion.

This time it was not just Xian County that was shaken, but the entire periphery of Xinjing was moved. They all thought that Xinjing was safe enough, but who knew it would suddenly become a battlefield. With the tragedy of the first two Imperial Capital catastrophes, millions of people turned into Withered bones, who dares to say that this time will not be the third catastrophe. People are panicked. Villagers from all over the country gathered in a crowd of 300,000 to 400,000 people outside Xinjing.

Three days have passed, and the court should also take action. I don’t know how many pairs of eyes are looking eagerly at Xinjing, which is just around the corner. Is it true that the court will have to wait until the Aden people defeat Xian County before the court will respond? ? Most people still looked at it calmly and cautiously. Generally speaking, refugees will cause mutiny and cause instability in public order, but this time it will be short-lived. Most of these people have been peaceful farmers and village households all their lives. Since childhood, I have never left the one-third of an acre of land near the village or county. After escaping, most of them are afraid and fearful. It is difficult to leave their homeland. What's more, the Chinese and Bian people are the ethnic group with the strongest homeland complex. If they are not forced to , whoever wants to come to this strange place will always go back! "Wait a minute, the court's 100,000 troops are stationed in Xinjing, and His Majesty has decided to lead the expedition himself. General Tang Yu, who has defeated even the empire, is in charge of military affairs. He will definitely be able to repel the Aden people and allow everyone to return safely. Home"

Such words have been spreading since this morning. People's hearts should cheer up, but the reality is that soldiers were defeated one by one from the front. They were holding steel knives and spears, and their faces were full of hesitation and fear. Yesterday, In the evening there was looting and massacre in the outermost camp. Sun Qi escaped in a dark corner, but soldiers who came from nowhere killed the villagers who fled with Sun Qi. They looted property, killed everyone they saw, raped the most beautiful girl in the village, and cut off all the Then the next day, on a row of wooden poles in front of the soup kitchen, Sun Qi saw a series of bloody human heads hanging high on the wooden poles fluttering in the wind, like countless ghosts and ghosts. in silent cry

A stout-looking officer spoke about the God's Tomb in all directions with a lively expression. Under the flagpole, there was already a sea of ​​people surrounding him. As the officer spoke, bursts of cheers continued: "Well done, that's how it should be!" ""It was too gentle to give the people of Aden a gap, and the skin cramps should be removed."

"What...what's going on?" Sun Qi was completely stunned. Although the heads were bloody and horrific, and some even had their faces chopped off, the villagers who lived together day and night could still vaguely see it. Looking at these villagers Sun Qi's mind was filled with the flash of the killing knife and the shrill screams of the woman last night. What was going on with the gap these people were talking about? "You're new here, haven't you seen the Dead Head before?"

A young man next to him curled his lips and raised his eyes to his forehead, thinking that Sun Qi was frightened. He said with a hint of arrogance and disdain, "These are the gaps between the people of Aden, and they are the ones who brought them to the people of Aden." Otherwise, how could the people of Aden know the direction of Xinjing? The people of Aden gave them a lot of property, but this could not protect him. To save their lives, the army just made a surprise attack last night and killed them all in front of the people of Aden. The court ordered that these heads be hung up to warn those who betrayed the country that this is the consequences of betraying the country. In fact, the Aden people are not that scary. The grassland cavalry were blocked by us at the beginning. The Aden people who are completely infantry are nothing."

Sun Qi's body trembled, and he tried to defend himself, but when he opened his mouth, there were waves of killings, which were so overwhelming that Sun Qi covered his ears and took a big breath. In his eyes, his The world is peeling off and shattering piece by piece. How could it be possible? Why? "But they are not from Aden, they are just ordinary villagers..." "Sir Tang Yu, I can only suppress it temporarily this time, and because of insufficient military spending, let the army Doing something like this will be a big trouble if it gets out of control. Who did it? "In the distance, Yu Fenlong, the Prime Minister of China and Biya, who was dressed in casual clothes, flashed his eyes. His hair was shaking slightly in the wind, and he looked pretty good. anger

Tang Yu, the head of the military department, had a look of shame on his face, and said with a wry smile, "The person who took action was a captain from the Third Army. You also know that the general of the Third Army, Ji Yang, was the one who gathered tens of thousands of refugees." A big thief, he acts impulsively, and most of his subordinates are gangsters. People, although the ministers of various ministries promised to give out the money, but until now, they have not even got a tenth of it. Jiyang sent this school captain to ask for it, but he was heavily fined. He made such a mistake in anger, I have asked Jiyang to go to Xian County for rescue, which can be regarded as fighting for justice." "You asked Jiyang to go to Xian County for rescue. Is it reliable?"

Yu Fenglong couldn't help but twist his eyebrows tightly. In order to calm down the internal chaos as soon as possible, the Zhongbia court once signed a peace negotiation with the Yu Yelu family and recruited a large number of volunteers who were wandering between them. Among them This Jiyang is the largest one. The so-called volunteer army is naturally a mixture of dragons and snakes. At best, they are volunteers, but at worst, they are the thieves who gather in the mountains and forests.

Yu Fenglong said in a condensed voice, "The current position of Xianxian County is very delicate. It is the last barrier to Xinjing. The Aden Army is pressing down on Xianxian County and deliberately does not advance forward. They hope to use Xianxian County as a bait to attack our army." In the end, all the combat power was drawn out, and the defense line in Xian County was completely destroyed, and our army was annihilated, and then they entered Xinjing and completely wiped out the entire Zhongbia. ""It turns out that your Excellency has seen it too!"

Tang Yu's stern expression changed slightly, he clenched his fingers together and said in a solemn voice, "It shouldn't be a problem. He is a tough guy. When he faced the prairie cavalry, he was trampled on three ribs and still kept fighting. He is not a weakling who surrendered to the alien race." Yu looked at Xinjing in the distance, hesitated and said, "Relatively speaking, I am more worried about the internal affairs of Xinjing. From His Majesty the Emperor to the ministers, they all believe that Xian County must not be lost, and even moved among the refugees." The idea of ​​recruiting soldiers" "I will do my best within the government. At least I can hold them back for a while by asking the ministers to provide military expenses."

Yu Fenglong took a deep breath. Everyone said that he, Yu Fenglong, was a speculator, but he, Yu Fenglong, knew better how the tree fell and the hozen dispersed. His power came from the emperor, and he was the prime minister when the court was there. The emperor is gone, and he, Yu Fenlong, is nothing, but the ministers in the court are not like that. They defeated the imperial capital twice. It didn't have much impact on them. The emperor had been missing for more than half a year. For them, it was just a matter of changing the person in power. How should everyone live? For them, life and death in the court were far less important than keeping the little wealth of their own family. More importantly, if the court asks them to come up with money, then it will really cost them their lives. "Rejecting the imperial loan and wooing the people of Aden to move north was done by Yu Fenglong himself, which caused outrage and resentment. The people of Aden who were originally just causing trouble in Luzhou suddenly went to the outskirts of Xinjing. Such a big mistake was made. Naturally, it was Yu Fenglong who Feng Long should go and make up for it, why drag everyone along? The expedition was raining, and the ministers in the court were even more furious. It was originally agreed upon, but I don't know who was secretly working together to say, "Without money, the army cannot move. If the army cannot move, the emperor cannot control the expedition himself." Military spending, which had just begun to improve, suddenly stopped, leading to things like last night happening.

Xian County, on the left side is a concave and convex depression. The soft soil is not conducive to the construction of fortifications. Huge stones streaked across the sky and hit the broken city wall hard. Stone chips were flying everywhere, arrows were flying down like raindrops, blood and shouts of killing continued to ring up and down the city. The Aden people hit the city wall like a giant siege truck, and the huge baffle suddenly leaned against the wall. On his mouth, he was hit by a fire arrow and splashed with oil. Burning, the soldiers of Aden howled and fell from the city tower. They were trapped in Xian County for three days. Reinforcements finally arrived from Zhongbia Xinjing. Twenty thousand people from the Third Army of the Zhongbia Court entered the Xianxian battlefield, bringing Congxin with them. With a large amount of supplies coming from Beijing, the Third Army was firmly established in Xian County.

Because of the addition of fresh troops, the Xianxian battlefield has entered a stalemate. The Aden army's siege equipment began to appear in large numbers. Huge building trucks and siege engines kept coming. But what made Xianxian the most nervous was the distant Aden. On the military formation, the huge slingshots lined up in a row, with their super long range and staggering destructive power, caused hundreds of defenders to fly bloody in just one round." News came from the Zhongbia court. Emperor Biya wanted to conquer Xian County in person

"Marshal Hebia of the Aden Army narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the broken city wall of Xian County in the distance. Behind him, a dozen Aden generals stood tall and straight. One of the generals said with an excited face." The marshal's plan succeeded. The army stopped moving forward, which indeed attracted a big fish. As long as we capture the emperor of Zhongbia, Zhongbia will belong to us in Aden." "You are right. China and Bia are vast. It is impossible for our army to capture every city. We can only hit it with one blow, fight quickly, and capture the emperor of China. Only then can this war end early," He said. Biya stretched out his hand and made a gesture of holding something." And the emperor of Central Biya has already escaped twice. Record, if they escape again, the significance of our army's raid on Xinjing will be weakened by more than half. Because of this, our army deliberately put on a false appearance here to lure them to leave Beijing, just to stabilize the opponent. Current news shows that, The other party has not yet noticed our army's intentions, and the reinforcements they have mobilized are only about 20,000."

"Fei Lie!" Hebia stopped, looked at a general behind him, and said sternly, "Your eight thousand cavalry have been preparing for three days. If you break through Xian County in front of you, you must rush to the center as quickly as possible." How long do you need to get to Bia Xinjing City?”

"If we run at full speed, we can reach the new capital in one day and one night." The general named Fei Lie replied decisively. His appearance was not outstanding, but his temperament was like the scorching sun in the sky, which made people feel a sense of excitement. The burning sensation makes it impossible to let it exist. As a famous cavalry general in the Aden Army, Ferret lives up to his name. The light cavalry under his command has the reputation of galloping cavalry. This time, he also came with Hebia. Sharp weapon, front In several battles, Hebia did not let him fight, just to seal his throat with a sword at the last moment. The most taboo thing about an army expedition is to be deeply surrounded by the opponent. And China and Bibia have a vast territory, and one Luzhou can only allow 200,000 people to fight. The Aden Army was in dire straits. If they fought like this one by one, it would be completely impossible to conquer Central Asia in a short period of time. Therefore, Hebia was the one who made a dangerous move. He chose the opportunity to directly march to Xinjing, and then unexpectedly handed over this Throat-sealing sword "Okay, I will bet your day and night. Tonight, I will order the entire army to attack Xianxian County. I must open a gap for you as soon as possible. Your eight thousand cavalry will rush to Xinjing through the gap in advance." Hebi Ya nodded firmly with a look in his eyes. Zhongbia would never have thought that eight thousand Aden cavalry would rush to Xinjing through a gap in advance. The purpose of these eight thousand cavalry was to prevent the Zhongbia emperor from escaping again.

"Yes, my subordinates, get ready now." Fei Lie saluted respectfully, mounted his horse and ran towards his troops. Fei Lie's light cavalry was a real assault force, with a semicircular tower shield embedded in the armor on its left hand. He holds a low-hanging spear in his right hand, and is wearing light cavalry armor on both sides. He wears a blue spire on his head. The war horse is lightly dressed. Some of them were armored in front, and they didn't carry much weight. The sun shone on these assault cavalry, and the color they emitted was a dark red color that seemed to cool the air a bit. They were the first in the Aden army. The sharp sword that pierces China's Xinjing is also the key to whether the 200,000-strong army can turn around and march northward to achieve full success.

In the dark night, the silent air exudes waves of faint flashes

His eyes swept across the flames of the broken city wall in Xian County in front of him. Marshal Hebia, who was dressed in military uniform, slowly raised his hand, and then suddenly lowered it firmly, as if he was trying to cut through the gloomy night in front of him.

"This formation orders the entire army to attack!"

The messenger cavalry who issued the order held up torches in the dark night, like meteors flying past. In the invisible darkness, the tens of thousands of Aden siege infantry accelerated like an avalanche through the arc of the slope, without much hesitation. They advanced neatly almost at the same time. The flags behind the armor fluttered in the wind. The archers in the rear row neatly raised the powerful recurve bows in their hands. The wind blew violently, rolling up the vast mist on the earth.

"Tonight, the city is broken," Hebia shouted loudly
