Realm of Power

Black smoke columns rose into the sky along with the burning flames. The crackling fire illuminated the sky red. The air was filled with the smell of being burned, and then, the sounds of footsteps and shouts mixed together. As far as the eye could see, the road was full of people running back and forth, with hurried footsteps and various shouts.

"Hurry up, the Aden people have already attacked. Go to the city quickly. Several villages have been massacred. Do you know that all the people have been killed, leaving no chickens or dogs behind?" Various voices gathered. In the crowd, it became intermittent, the night wind howled by, and the fire assisted the wind, pushing the fire on the field far away, like a long red and black carpet, looking from a distance, from the vicinity of Xinjing Most places within fifty miles are like this.

"Part of the Aden Army has arrived in Feng County. Most of the villages along the way have been burned down by the Aden people, and more than 80,000 of our civilians have been massacred."

"The Yuyang Army has experienced great fluctuations. The number of captains who requested to fight exceeded 130 points."

"Han Fengze, Yiyang, and Fang Ze also submitted a petition for war, requesting the military to revoke the military order strictly prohibiting going to war."

The adjutant stood in front of Tang Yu, opened the report in his hand, and read it one by one. Tang Yu stood in front of the huge formal diagram, with bloodshot red eyes. He originally thought that after the Aden Army broke through Xianxian County, it must be directly Force Xinjing, so in order to avoid unnecessary losses , Tang Yu strictly ordered the army not to go into battle without permission, but no one expected that after the Aden army broke through Xianxian County, it did not rush in like a blazing prairie fire in front of them, but spread out the entire army of 200,000 people, just like mowing grass. A brutal sweep was launched throughout the Xinjing area.

The flames of war were like wildfire starting a prairie fire. The 200,000 Aden troops who entered with all their strength after defeating Xian County were like a huge shock wave that quickly spread throughout the entire region.

Villages big and small, far and near, are filled with black beacon smoke rising into the sky, and dots of flames are still burning on the city walls. In the fields, dark red blood and corpses are intertwined to form a tragic picture. Most of the corpses are from generations. For civilians living in the Xinjing area, the Aden Army plundered food and supplies and either drove away or massacred the Central Asians. , many streets were dyed red with blood, the dead and the undead were mixed together, the painful moans continued, but most of the moans had become weak, countless corpses and the dying were lying together, further away What we are dealing with are the civilian prisoners who are not dead but are in despair and the Aden army who is jealous of murder. Of course, it is not that there is no resistance from the Central Asian army.

Even the civil servants in the court became anxious. This time the emperor was determined to fight to the death. For the civil servants who had originally made up their minds to run away, it was a bit fatal. If the emperor does not leave, who dares to go first? Walk? There have been two previous catastrophes in Imperial Capital, and everyone knows that once the Aden Army breaks through Xinjing, there will be a brutal massacre.

The shadow of the war has fallen. Merchants with business have to transfer their interests and are worried about damage to their family property, so they have to inquire about changes in the war situation from familiar officials; above the court, officials with various interests involved need to communicate in private; impassioned scribes Discuss government affairs and express your thoughts. All these things are happening in a hectic and lively manner.

When the real flames of war are raging, when a large number of aliens come like a tide, no matter what their identity is, soldiers, civilians, generals and civilians are all involved in this huge whirlpool.

The map that Tang Yu looked at was all blood red. Every village and every city was marked with various numbers. The ones in red were those that had been massacred and plundered. At a glance, it was full of big red letters. It covers one-third of the map, and the nearest location is already on the edge of Xinjing.

It has been two days since the Aden Army broke through Xianxian County. The area of ​​the breakthrough was more than 80 miles. With such a large depth, in order to collect supplies and food, the Aden people must have dispersed most of their troops except the main army. , the favorable conditions of the right time, right place and right people are emerging on the Chinese side, and the news Tang Yu is waiting for now is what he believes will ultimately determine the success or failure of the entire war.

That is a local force in the critical Xinjing area, the Hu Yang Army. The Hu Yang Army is only a local force with only four to five thousand people. However, when the Aden Army rushes in across the board, if this army can defeat the Aden Army, Appearing from behind will definitely cause the Aden army to panic. Tang Yu has promised Hu Yangjun that as long as the opponent They were able to launch harassment behind the Aden Army, and after the war, the enemy was officially incorporated into the Chaotang Army. However, the Hu Yang Army's reply was delayed, mainly because the Lu Family Army was tragically ahead, and who among the current local armies was still there? Dare to believe in the court, but Tang Yu's thinking is still standing in the center of the court, so he did not expect this

At this moment, a captain walked in hurriedly, "Sir, I just received a report that the Fifth Army in charge of guarding Yi County was at war with the Aden Army."

The sun is tilted, and black smoke is already billowing within a hundred miles of Xinjing in China and Biya.

"What on earth are the court doing? The people of Aden are all on the edge, but the order to go to war has been delayed. Do we really want the entire New Kyoto to turn into a slaughterhouse!" A Zhongbia general stood with a sad and angry expression. At the top of the ancient city, looking at the Aden Army camp spreading below the city, the long sword in his hand was fierce He slashed hard on the battlements and spattered a cloud of sparks. As a Central Asian soldier, in the face of such a national disaster, he should have stood up to fight, but the order from the military headquarters was strictly prohibited from going into battle. There were only a hundred thousand troops, but he watched helplessly. Watching the killing of aliens, this kind of cowardice is a shame for any soldier

"Sir, I just got the news that the Fifth Army is at war with the Aden people." A messenger brought the news,

"What, the Fifth Army has started a war! Has it been confirmed?" The middle-aged general's eyes lit up and he asked again

"It has been confirmed. It is said that the Fifth Army fought against the Aden Army in the afternoon and killed many Aden cavalry. Then it triggered about 40,000 Aden Army to attack Yi County in revenge."

"Okay, Mr. Lin is ruthless enough. He will definitely take a bite when he seizes the opportunity! He doesn't care about military orders. The fighter plane is ahead. It is a crime to delay in vain."

"Send the order, and prepare the entire army for war. While the Aden Army has a slight foothold, we will take down the Aden Army outside the city tonight!" The middle-aged general snorted angrily, and the numbness and trembling in his body were related to the whole body. The heaven and earth are resonating, a humming sound fills the surrounding air, and bloodthirsty impulses are mixed in every inch of the heaven and earth.

"Sir, the military has strictly ordered us to go to war," an adjutant next to him reminded carefully.

"Who does the military have to care about now? The Fifth Army has already fought, but nothing has happened. As long as we can win, who will care whether we go to war without permission?" The middle-aged general waved his hand with a stern look: "You He is also an old man who came out of the battle with the grassland people. He still doesn't know the level of those in the military department? Those who carried out the orders strictly back then had no idea how tall the grass was on their graves. This time the Aden Army broke into the Xinjing area, burning, killing and looting along the way. However, because of this, the original large group of 200,000 people had already been in Xinjing. The area around Beijing is spread out within a hundred miles. The Aden Army currently appearing in front is only thirty or forty thousand people at most. Moreover, the Aden Army is infantry. Even if the attack is unfavorable, it will not be a big problem if it has a fortified city at its back. Why should we gamble? A handful! It’s not good for the Aden army to bump into anyone’s head, but to happen to bump into my head, Han Qiao’s head, can only be regarded as bad luck for the Aden people!

"Yes, I'll go and deliver the order right away." The adjutant's expression perked up and he left quickly. Just as the superior officer said, there was no punishment for the Fifth Army's violation of military orders. Moreover, under such circumstances, a soldier's bounden duty is to fight. , is to drive out these alien invaders. As long as we win, who will say anything!

In the wilderness outside the city, the cold wind of early winter whistled through the wilderness filled with the smell of blood and war smoke. Countless stone throws drew tracks in the sky and hit the opposite city wall heavily. Every collision, It was like a whirlpool was being blocked, and the ground was shaking. Facing the giant trebuchet of the peak level of Opalo, the city walls near Xinjing obviously lacked protection. In just an hour, cracks were created.

The sudden battle that broke out on October 9th was an unprepared chaos for the commanders of both sides. The 20,000 Central Asian troops stationed in Yi County suddenly launched an attack on the Aden Army. The main forces of both sides finally had the first victory. After a collision, under the dark sky, a Central African military officer was walking The advancing queue stopped in front of them. The light of the torches was sparse and extended little by little into the distance. The array of thousands of people, in this marching atmosphere, actually seemed mysterious and quiet. When buzzing whispers came, , then the silence was shaped deeper, and the night birds flew over from the sky. The officer reined in the reins, listened attentively, then jumped off the horse, and was about to lie down on the ground, with his ears attached to the ground, when suddenly there was a noise. There was a low and short shout, which was the alarm sound from the surrounding scouts, and then there was a sound of metal clashing. In the sharp and ferocious shout, the swords were chopping together, and sparks exploded in the darkness.

The "enemy attack" team of thousands of people realized the sudden change in the atmosphere. The first thing was a slight tremor in the air. The grass fell low on the field beside the bushes, and the soil particles trembled slightly in the grass. Then the sound gradually became louder, and the slight horse hooves gradually turned into a rapid roar. Suddenly, the war horses rushed from the bushes. Out, one horse, ten horses, a hundred horses... the galloping cavalry rushed towards the wilderness like a torrent of conflict. The knights on horseback were tall and rough, wearing foreign clothes. Human armor, wearing an iron helmet that covers the entire face, with only a cross as a lookout, what else could it be if it were not the Aden cavalry? In front of the rows of cavalry pushing in like a mountain, there is a line of sharp long cavalry spurs. The spear tip is made entirely of fine iron. With the addition of the impact of the cavalry, the impact force formed is enough to penetrate any tough protection.

"kill"

The shouts of foreigners came occasionally like a cold wind. Hundreds and thousands of cavalry rushed over here, bringing with them a little bit of fire. But after a while, the light spread out, like a sharp knife. Influx, horse hooves trampled, blades slashed wildly, tearing apart these scattered Central Asian soldiers crazily. The horse team rushed into the dense infantry array with a bang, one team after another, like a crazy pile driver, Continuously ramming into the crowd of Chinese and Belgian soldiers. Thousands of swords flew on the front line, blood exploded and splashed, and the horses and people were smashed into a pulp in this crazy front. The cavalry on the war horses rushed into the dense crowd with their swords.

"Kill, fight them"

"I am not a coward who is afraid of death."

In this situation, even if there are people who are greedy for life and fear of death in the battle formation, or even those who are greedy for life and fear of death, there is no possibility of retreating. The distance of the war is shortened to zero, and the field of vision sweeps forward along the earth. Biya held the weapon in his failed hand and raised it high, turning into a staggered arc of stabbing spears in front of his field of vision.

He let out a hysterical roar and burst into tears. Looking at the clumps of black shadows coming like a tide, he waved his hand violently, "The soldiers stood in the front line of the horse formation. All the soldiers squeezed in the front line were on horseback, holding long spears and raising them towards the slope. Suddenly, a wave of In the snow-like forest of spears, I saw the charging Aden cavalry crash into each other, and blood spread like flowers. The war horse neighed violently. Before the cavalry on top could react, they saw several hook-like objects being fastened on them. No matter how sophisticated the armor on the Aden cavalry was, they were still pulled off the horse, fell to the ground, and were immediately killed. The body pierced by countless spears, blood has bloomed in the wilderness

"Asshole, why did the Central Asians react so quickly?" The Aden cavalry officer leading the team was startled by the scene in front of him. The cavalry was condescending and had always taken advantage, but this time it was as if they were possessed. , the Aden warriors who were still fighting fiercely seemed to be pulled down by an invisible hand. War horses, this strange sight, made everyone feel numb. After using his eyes enough, the Aden cavalry officer saw the reason. It turned out that some Central Asian soldiers had a special hook gun. This kind of In a chaotic battle, as long as the cavalry is attached to the horse, the cavalry can be pulled down with force.

This is all thanks to the years of fighting with the prairie cavalry. In order to face the surprise attack of the prairie cavalry, the Central and African troops also learned various ways to deal with the cavalry. Just as the pikemen set up their spear formations, another team held down The hook's replacement, the four-meter-long barb, is waiting, specially used to pull the cavalry on horseback. I don't know how much grass it was at the beginning. The original cavalry was damaged by this move, because this weapon is called the death hook. The Aden cavalry was unprepared and fell into the attack one after another. Even if they were not stabbed by the spear, they could not avoid the hook spear in the crowd. Hundreds of The people's cavalry was reduced by half in the blink of an eye. The embarrassed Aden cavalry retreated hastily, and behind them came the cheers of victory from the Central and Belgian troops.

The Aden army is not that good either! The victory in Yi County greatly boosted the morale of the Central Asian troops. At the same time, the 200,000 Aden troops spread out in a radiating pattern toward the northeast and southeast, like a spread out barb net, also receiving the news. After the news, they moved towards Yi County
