Realm of Power

The fire in front of Haitang Bay was blazing, and the surrounding area was red. Realizing that it was no longer possible to carry out a surprise attack, the Marquis Saya, commander of the Hérault Third Army, simply turned the surprise attack into a strong attack. An astonishing number of Hérault soldiers gathered in front of Haitang Bay, wearing The heavily armored heavy infantry stood at the front holding steel tower shields, with torches like a forest, and clusters of flames swaying and dancing in the cold wind, reflecting Eero's army clearly like a sea wave. "Archers at the forefront!"

Saya, the commander of the Third Army of Eero, looked at the messy Laffa people in Haitang City, with a sinister smile on his lips, and raised his hand. The Eero archers wearing light armor and holding war bows in the gaps between the heavy infantry began to spread Kai , facing forward The outer wall of Fang Haitang City, which is made of natural rocks, raised the Eero war bow in his hand. Under the reflection of the torch, countless flashing metal arrows flashed across the eyes of the Leaffa people on the city wall in an instant. "It's Archers!

"Bastard, despicable Eero!"

The people from Liaffa who were still aggressive in front looked at the bow and arrow raised by Secret Mummy below, and suddenly there was a commotion. Those who reacted quickly immediately found a place to hide. Those who had no place to hide ran towards the wall behind, "Shoot!"

Waves of orders came from the direction of Erro, and the people of Lyaffa saw the cold light of the arrow clusters pressing down like a layer of black clouds, and the people of Lyaffa were in a mess everywhere. I saw the black cloud formed by arrow clusters fluttering against the city wall, and it suddenly turned over. The screams became earth-shattering after the people arrived. The crowd suddenly started to stir, arrows flew across the city wall, and the soil on the city wall flew down like raindrops. The people of Leaffa who were hiding behind were hit by arrows that pierced through the wall, and they let out another heart-rending scream. Some people couldn't die for a moment, so they rolled on the blood-soaked ground to fight for their lives. Blood spurted out. The formation was so dense that thousands of Lefa soldiers rushed to the courtyard wall no more than a hundred meters away and rushed to the front row. The wave of people, as long as they can't find a place to hide, there are corpses piled on top of each other, human blood mixed with mud The soil flowed like a stream, screams were heard in front, and screams suddenly came from behind. But it was the people who turned around and ran away. The traditional light armor of the Liaffa pirates faced the heavy bow of the Erro archer. It was almost defenseless, and under the rain of arrows, it was wiped out almost instantly!

Under the rain of arrows, there was the city wall of Haitang Bay where the Hérault infantry pounced like a black line. And outside the long trench 60 steps away, the Hérault archers desperately drew their bows and fired arrows, one after another with miserable groans. The cry has never ceased. On the city wall, from time to time, clusters of arrows penetrated deeply into the wall, and mud spilled everywhere. The penetrating power of Erro's strong bow caused the Liafa people to change their expressions when they saw this scene, "Sir, Lord Saya's third army broke through the outer wall of Haitang City, and the Liafa people suffered heavy casualties."

In less than an hour, the news from the front made the middle-aged man on a Hero battleship on the sea outside Haitang City look up. He was only in his mid-thirties and was wearing a black Hero military uniform. His face was rough, and his eyes were still as sharp as lightning in the night. Behind him stood several officers of the Eero Navy.

"Sir, the Army has succeeded, do we need to follow up?" an Eero naval officer couldn't help but ask.

"No need, the army has the responsibilities of the army, and we have our missions." The middle-aged man waved his hand, looked at the red sky in the direction of Haitang City, pressed the corner of his cloak, and said in a cold voice, "Third The army can Laying down the outer wall of Haitang City was expected. The trench dug for the outer wall of Haitang Bay was not particularly wide and deep, and Luzhai was only two stories long. The real core was the inner wall, where the Grand Duke Liaffa's Palace was located. Not only Made entirely of stone It consists of a trench wall, and there are stable watchtowers on all sides. Haitang Bay is backed by the sea, and there is no open forest around it. It is almost a large tract of tidal flat sand. There is no wood that can be used to build siege equipment. Fei Shan's army originally lacked The siege equipment failed to attack the Grand Duke Liaffa's palace for a long time, so the Liaffa people cooperated internally and externally, and burned the Feishan Navy's flagship Antalya in one fell swoop. The morale of the Feishan Navy suffered a heavy blow, and they had no choice but to withdraw.

But now the situation is completely different. Due to the heavy blow from the Imperial Navy, other pirates who originally belonged to the Liafa pirates have been defeated and dispersed. Many of them are veterans with rich combat experience. The departure of these people has Let the combat effectiveness of the Liafa pirates be greatly reduced, otherwise the Imperial Navy would not choose to release the Grand Duke of Liafa. The Liafa people are extremely ferocious at sea because they have been supported by fisheries for hundreds of years, but if they are placed on land warfare, they will only be trivial. The Principality of Liaffa, which has tens of thousands of people, is not only It is barren and does not have any minerals. Even iron tools need to be purchased from other countries. How can they compete with us, Eero? However, as the largest pirate group in the inland sea, the Lefa people still retain a few people even though their strength has been greatly reduced. ship The ships have all been stripped of all weapons and used completely as merchant ships. Once the Liaffa people escape on the boats, it will be difficult to conceal what we did in the Sunset Canyon. Intercepting these escaping ships is far more difficult than it is now. Competing with the Army for food is much more important."

"Yes, I understand."

The Eero naval officer returned to his original position with an embarrassed look on his face, with a faint stern look in his eyes. This raid on Haitang Bay is of extraordinary significance to the Eero Empire. The wealth of the Liafa pirates in Haitang Bay is said to be enough. Millions of gold are a life-saving money for the current Eero. Whoever can capture Haitang Bay first will undoubtedly be the biggest contributor this time.

Although the middle-aged man standing on the bow of the battleship looked calm, when others were not paying attention, there was a look of struggle flashing in his eyes. He could only see such a huge achievement right in front of him and could not take action. His eyes were also wild. Red, Hérault is a powerful country in terms of army. Although it has a long coastline, it is extremely weak in terms of navy. Looking at the navies of other countries in the inland sea The region is turbulent, and wars are raging one after another, like dragons in the sea fighting for the kill. However, as the navy of the Eero Empire, it can only be used as a patrol force hiding near the coastline. Everyone in the Eero Navy does not want to one day be able to truly become an army. The inland sea area plays a decisive role, but now, the opportunity is so close, but they can only watch helplessly, how can they be willing to do so!

In front of the Grand Duke Liaffa's residence, flames and smoke filled the sky, and the sound of fighting was deafening. They were pushed here from the unfavorable outer wall in one breath. The Liaffa people had lost nearly half of their troops. The fire in Haitian City was soaring into the sky, and the Aero soldiers rushed into Haitang. In the city, the first thing to do was to set fire to all the houses in Haitang City and start a massacre of the Leaffa people in Haitang City. The order from above was not to stay. One alive, the Aero soldiers swept past, and countless Liaffa people ran out of the house. They were stabbed with swords and spears by the Aero people who were surrounded outside, and fell into a pool of blood one after another. Seeing this scene, high up in the mansion Grand Duke Liafaya's expression on the city tower was even more ugly. The Aero people not only wanted to occupy Haitang City, but also wanted to kill everyone in Haitang City and completely wipe out the entire Haitang City.

As the fire suddenly broke out in the city, houses were burning one after another. The people of Leaffa were killed along the way, and corpses were scattered everywhere. Even the corpses had to be stabbed a few times by the Aero people before they could leave. The area of ​​Haitang City was not large. As fewer and fewer Leaffa people could be trained, the Aero soldiers began to gather towards the Grand Duke's Palace. The red-eyed Aero soldiers were completely indifferent to the fighting power of the Leaffa people. They were still worried in their hearts when they passed by the outer city wall. After the first battle, all that fear had been wiped away. It turned out that the people of Liaffa were so weak. The gate of the rich Haitang City had been opened, and countless wealth was waiting. Kill them all, rob them all, and burn them all, almost without a trace. After completing the assembly of the army, a squadron of Hérault heavy infantry began to attack the Grand Ducal Palace of Liaffa without permission.

"Come in and kill everyone in Leah"

These hundreds of Hérault heavy infantry did not have any offensive equipment. They just relied on scattered arrows from behind to cover themselves. They stepped through the sea of ​​fire and rushed through the smoke, like a group of ants rushing towards the Grand Duke's Palace. Everyone knew that Liaffa The Grand Duke was once one of the largest pirate leaders in the inland sea area. Naturally, the Grand Duke's Palace of Liafa must also be the collection place for the proceeds of years of plundering by the Liafa people.

On the ramparts of the Grand Duke's residence, Duke Liafaye kept holding on to the crenels and staring at the burning Haitang City. He watched the city that he had devoted his life turn into a bloody hell, and the hand he had clenched rattled. . On the grounds of the mansion at his feet, the Liaffa people who had withdrawn into the Grand Duke's Palace were transporting large quantities of defensive materials onto the walls. The Grand Duke's Palace was built with real stone structures and a lot of effort was put into it. , even the Feishan people’s catapult didn’t Defeat it, and behind the Grand Duke's Mansion is the port of Haitang City. The Grand Duke's Mansion is like a gate, cutting between the corridor between the general residential area and the port. Once you find that you cannot defend the Grand Duke's Mansion, you can still drive several large ships docked at the port. Leaving Haitang City,

"The Ninth Squadron has begun to attack the Grand Duke's Palace!"

The sound of fighting was like a trigger. More Hérault infantrymen were involved in the attack on the front door of the Grand Ducal Palace. But this time, the diagonal angles formed by the arrow castles on both sides of the Grand Ducal Palace caught the Hérault infantry who attacked the front door unprepared. Especially the trench at the front gate of the Grand Duke's Palace, which is four to five meters deep. The Hérault soldiers stared at the arrow clusters shot down from the Arrow Castle. Barely holding on to their position, they tried their best to move forward. Arrows shot from high places swept over them. From time to time, someone staggered and fell into the pile of corpses in the trench. I don’t know how many people tried to cross the trench. The arrows The rain swooped down like locusts. Even the armor of the Hérault heavy infantry was shot in vital parts and fell down screaming.

"Go up the siege ladder!" Saya, commander of the Erro Third Army, appeared below. Looking at his subordinates who suffered heavy casualties, he loudly ordered with a stern face. The Erro military has not been paying attention to Haitang City for more than a day or two. They have sent people long ago. He had figured out the layout of the city, so he had already prepared his own siege ladder. Under his loud orders, huge brown billowing smoke sounded like thunder.

"Swish"

There was a heavy sound, and there were longing figures in the smoke and dust. The heavy armored infantry carried the diamond tower shield straight under the thin wall, and the armor on their bodies was wrapped like iron knots. After the tower shield, they rushed towards the long ladder that was still leaning against the fort wall, and followed the long ladder. Once pressed on the battlement, the people below were immediately pressed tightly. Along this long ladder, the heavy infantry of Eero went up in a line. Behind these heavy infantry, there was no telling how many shooters were lined up in the smoke. Rows of arrows were sprayed over non-stop. The Liaffa shooters above It fell like dumplings from the pot. In front of a long ladder, two Liafa people smashed several large rocks downwards. They saw the climbing Aero soldiers still trying to climb up. In a panic, he grabbed the push rod and tried to push the long ladder down together. As soon as I got up the ladder, I heard a loud roar. But it was an Eero officer wearing a red cherry blossom on his iron helmet who jumped up to the wall. The two Liafa soldiers felt a huge force hit their chests. The Eero officer took another step forward, and there was a streak of blood. Explode "Hold him off and don't let the Ero people come up"

The Liafa people have been frightened. If they were attacked by sneak attacks before, then now it is a real desperate fight. The elite warriors of the Ero people are a very terrifying force and are very famous throughout the south. The Eero Army was completely defeated by the Order State. , Most of the people in Liafa have a contemptuous attitude, but this time they realized that the real Aero army is so tough, no wonder it can compete with other countries with infantry, the Aero people are like chicken blood. , has launched three consecutive attacks, paused for a moment, and then jumped in again! There are at least four to five hundred corpses lying outside the Grand Duke's palace, but there is still no sign of stopping! Instead, the laggard light cavalry kept coming and going. "The 8th Squadron went to replace the 3rd Squadron, and the 4th Squadron covered up from the east section."

Saya, the commander of the Third Army of Ero, gave the order. His face was ashen as he watched the troops who were attacking again being driven down by the Liafa people. Some of them could not even gain a firm footing and were pushed down from above. The miserable screams The shouts had already made other people below feel fear and uneasiness, and they issued orders angrily. He did not expect that after the outer city was captured, this inconspicuous small inner city would be so strong, and once the decision was made to attack the city during the siege, If you want to conquer the city, you must take advantage of it. Attack with flesh and earth, wood, gold and iron, after several advances and several retreats. The morale of the army immediately dropped.

So once you start attacking the city, since there is still a chance to break the city, you can't let it go easily! Ants and moths invade the city, causing heavy casualties while the city is still engulfed. This is the bloody reality of siege warfare in the era of cold weapons at any time! "

Time is running out. "Saya glanced towards the east. The fierce battle had lasted for more than three hours. A white light appeared in the distant sky. It was a sign of dawn. Once dawn, he wanted to cover up Haitang City. It’s very difficult to do this in case of an attack!
