Realm of Power

"In the Battle of Hong'an Valley, the combined strength of both sides was less than 100,000 people. Compared to the scale of major battles that often involved hundreds of thousands of people in the early days of the empire, the scale of the battle was inconspicuous. The two sides in the battle were only the Empire's Southern Second Army. It was part of the army of the Ministry and the Kingdom of Kalisu, but it was recognized by later historians as this battle. It was the empire's shift from strategic passivity to active attack in the Barro region of southern Europe. The opening battle, and the time when this battle broke out turned out to be during the Empire's annual meeting. What happened during the imperial annual meeting in the sixth year was so different from the past. Among them, the strange escape of the Four Nations Alliance in the South, The empire's conspiracy and strangulation caused scholars who studied the history of the empire's southern invasion to call this battle a "deadline to escape from" - Astansu, Volume 2, Chapter 5, of "Emperor's Southern Expedition"

Under the gloomy sky, the horse's hooves stepped into the wet soil in front of it that was not yet dry. A Kalisu officer with a pale face rode his horse towards the package that was shot by the arrows, praying in a low voice with uneasiness in his heart." Don’t shoot arrows, don’t shoot arrows.”

Fortunately for this officer, the imperial cavalry did not fire arrows, but allowed him to carefully pick up the package. The hundreds of imperial cavalry at the top just looked at it coldly. The imperial trooper who shot the arrow cluster The marksman even put down the longbow in his hand. Until the Calisu officer returned, the imperial cavalry did not move at all.

Such a strange scene, there was a low discussion from the Kali Sujun side who saw this scene

"What's going on? What was the shot?" "How do I know? I'm not the Imperial Army."

"These Imperial cavalry are sensible. If they really dare to shoot arrows at Godin, we will all rush forward and chop them into pieces." A Carisu officer with a haughty face stared at the Empire in the distance. The black-armored cavalry loosened his fingers on the knight's sword and curled his lips in disdain.

"Why are you so nervous? I don't think that these few hundred imperial cavalry are so brave that they dare to challenge our army of tens of thousands in person. You think too highly of the imperial soldiers. They are also human beings. They are just like being chopped down by swords. He will die too!" Another Carisu officer next to him said with a sneer. "But Godin is so lucky. He can show his face in front of tens of thousands of people. Even if the imperial army does nothing, as long as he can come back safely, the chance of getting promoted after the Battle of the Royal Capital will be higher than ours. Much higher. If I had known that the imperial cavalry would not move, I should have taken the initiative just now."

Not far away, the dispatched officer Carisu had returned. The officer stopped his horse in front of Su An Lilong. At this moment, he dared to breathe a sigh of relief and handed over the package in his hand. "Sir, I got the things back."

"Well done, your courage will be rewarded accordingly. Now open it and see what the Imperial Army has packed inside!" Su An Lilong did not mean to take the package, and raised his hand towards the officer. He just vaguely felt that this package must be unusual, but as a general of the Calisu Kingdom, he , if he didn’t even dare to open a package sent by the imperial army, what would the soldiers of the Kalisu Army think when they saw this scene? He nodded to the adjutant named Godin and ordered him to do it in front of everyone. He opened the package in front of him to show that he was not afraid of the empire at all, and he would not be intimidated by an unknown package!

“It doesn’t look like an important item, it’s just wrapped casually.”

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on this package, and there were various voices of discussion. If the experienced Elliot was here, he would never commit such a stupid act. Even if the enemy took the initiative to throw something over before the battle, even if it was There was no threat, but it couldn't be opened casually. Unfortunately, the veteran Elliott was still in the rear. When he heard that the Imperial Army appeared in front and took the initiative to shoot a package, it was already too late! In full view of everyone, the adjutant untied several layers of cloth on the outside of the package and glanced at the contents inside. Before he could see clearly, he was retching from the smell of blood. A smell of blood also hit his face from the direction of the package. Floated out "What is this!"

The adjutant did not expect that there was a bloody ball inside the package in his hand. When he missed it, the package fell to the ground, and a bloody ball rolled out from it along with the inertia. Although it was a little blurry and stained with the soil on the ground, But he still saw that it was a human head, and the slightly clear face was still revealed in front of everyone. It was the head of a middle-aged man, with an angry look, as if he was still fighting, "Who is this?" ! Are we Karisu people?"

Ordinary soldiers did not recognize this head, but the royal officers who saw this head were like five thunders. They all shook and immediately knelt on the ground. "These bastards of the Imperial Army are Your Majesty, Your Majesty." His Majesty’s head, your Majesty will never die with eyes in peace, and you are willing to save your Majesty’s head. Come with me if you want to seek revenge! A royal officer had already rushed out, holding the bloody head, his eyes were red and he was kneeling in pain. The Carisu royal officer behind him drew his sword angrily and shouted, "Everyone, come to me." Go up and chop these imperial cavalry into pieces and avenge His Majesty the King! "There were shouts and various sounds. That head was the head of King Carisu who was beheaded by Lytle himself. "Everyone, rush, kill those imperial troops and avenge His Majesty the King! "

Other officers of the Calisu royal family drew their swords one after another. The imperial army had gone too far. They captured the capital of the Calisu royal family, beheaded His Majesty the King, and now sent His Majesty the King's head in such a humiliating way. As long as he was a normal person, no one would be able to do so. Fa couldn't hold it back, and the two-headed snake array that was originally a tight formation was suddenly in chaos. Who cares about the array of the officers of the Kalisu royal family at the moment? They rushed forward with their soldiers and headed towards the empire in front of them. The cavalry rushed over

"Don't mess up, everyone, don't mess up." Su Anlilong shouted loudly, but except for the border guards, the other royal troops were willing to listen to him. Under the leadership of the officers, these royal troops ran like crazy from the middle of the queue to the front. What? Array, all coordination has been completely forgotten. The only thing that flashes in everyone's mind is to kill all these imperial cavalry. Regarding Su'an Lilong's forced border guards to stay still, many officers of the Carisu royal family are still yelling at Su's cowards and incompetence. General, the disgrace of the Kalisu soldiers,

"One hundred and twenty meters ahead, crossbow shooters ready!"

Bai Dan, who was standing high up immediately, looked at the Kalisu army that suddenly came in front of him like a landslide and tsunami. Instead of retreating, he shouted sternly with a stern expression.

"Brush" is as chilling as the cold wind blowing through the forest,

Behind the mound where he was, a field of arrows flashing with cold light stood up densely. Fifteen thousand Imperial crossbowmen lined up in three thick horizontal rows and raised their crossbow arrows into the air. Behind the crossbow shooters, the Empire The melee infantry remained silent with murderous intent. As soon as the Kalisu army left the Karu Fortress, they were spotted by the imperial scouts who had been waiting for a long time. After learning from the captured officials of the Kalisu Royal Capital Military Headquarters that most of the Kalisu officers in the Karu Forest were children of the royal family, Estante decided to use this tactic to stimulate the Kalisu army. Unexpectedly, The effect was so good that not only did the opponent not realize that he had left the protection of the forest, but his command seemed to be out of control!

300 meters!

200 meters!

150 meters!

Bai Dan stared at the surging crowds in front of him. The countless Kalisu people rushing towards this side were as numerous as the earth submerged by the tide. Bai Dan slowly raised his right hand, and with his fierce movement When the force fell, it was like a large black cloud suddenly rising from a high mound. Countless arrow clusters were like a bird with huge wings spread across the sky. They flew up to a certain height and then began to fall down, like a metal waterfall. Pounced hard, with random arrows like locusts!

"What is that!"

The pupils of the charging Carisu royal family officers shrank suddenly. At this moment, they almost forgot to move forward. Countless sharp arrows, like beautiful and fast white shadows, dazzled their eyes, carrying an extremely powerful force. Penetrating, effortless stabs as they shoot into the body, red blood pouring from the penetrated The body was squeezed out, pouring out from the crack torn by the arrow. A crowd of people fell on their backs, and the area covered by the arrow cluster was directly hollowed out. But that was not the real horror. They were being shot by random arrows and running around. At that time, from the side of the mound in front, black lines began to emerge from the forest land.

"Kill!"

The earth thundered, and the charge of tens of thousands of imperial cavalry was like a thick arc of cold light hundreds of meters long that cut into the side of the Carisu royal army. It was like a dull knife rubbing the edge open. Under the disbelieving eyes of the royal officers, the armor of the soldiers of the Kalisu Army was directly exposed. The shattering sound of the collision was like a series of firecrackers. The imperial cavalry's spears were fiercely inserted into the crowd of the Kalisu royal army in an unstoppable array. The front end was like a huge arrow, followed by two lines. The torn saw blade thrust in and pulled apart, and a team rushed forward, The second team pressed in, and the third team, the ground trembled under the heavy hooves of the war horses, and the cold light of the armor was frightening. The cavalry above held the horse's side rifle, the tip of the gun pointed forward neatly, "Papa Papa" Carisu The royal army was crushed and broken by the impact like dry wheat stalks in front of the imperial iron stream. It cracked, and the sound of tragic screams was mixed with the collision of metal and flesh. At this moment, it was like a river rushing into the vast plains. The Kalisu royal army, which had no array at all, was smashed into pieces. In the roaring empire, The front of the cavalry group was like a log pushed open by a heavy hammer. Fracture occurs under powerful multi-layered attack

"The border guards are in formation. Anyone who attacks the formation without authorization will be killed!"

At this moment, the Kalisu Border Guards, who Su Anlilong served as the leader of the smuggler, showed their high quality as a border army and immediately gathered their 3,000 heavy infantry and 2,000 shooters to move closer. These border guards maintained as dense a battle as possible. row, raised their heavy shields and spears, and Su An Lilong also knew very well that at this time The real big trouble at this moment is not the imperial cavalry chasing the royal army, but the royal army rushing towards them after collapsing. These guys will directly overwhelm their own array and lose the protection of the array. Such a large group of imperial cavalry would be massacred in front of them!

"You bastards, what are you still doing here? Go and block those cavalry!"

The fleeing royal army was killed by the imperial cavalry behind them, and the officers lacked combat experience in such a chaotic situation. When they saw the array of border guards, they immediately ran towards this side. A few royal officers who were accustomed to being arrogant even pointed fingers and yelled, trying to rush in and escape. The border guards' spears were stabbed directly into their bodies without any ceremony. With expressions of disbelief, the bodies of these officers were paralyzed. Falling in a pool of blood, the soldiers of the royal army who saw this scene were so frightened that they ran and shouted, "The border guards have killed Mr. Xiko, the border guards have rebelled!"
