Realm of Power

"Your Highness, the longer we stay here, the more unfavorable it will be to our army's situation. Please make a decision early, otherwise I'm afraid..." General Harvey glanced at the Namu Bridge in the distance and wanted to say something. Then, the generals of the Harvey Army felt a chill unconsciously, and all looked at the commander of the army, Prince Sethi.

His Highness the Prince stood in the dark night, staring sharply in the direction of Namqiao in the night. His fingers were clenched and his face was livid. He thought he had deceived the emperor, but he did not expect that the situation would reach such an extent. Namqiao This road is impassable, so the only option is to go downstream, but there are dozens of miles of mountain roads downstream from Namqiao. The army turns downstream, fearing that it will not arrive until at least dawn, and during this period, who knows? There is no ambush by the emperor's killing moves! "Report, the left wing of our army found the Emperor's troops approaching! "A swift cavalry galloped over with flying hooves," reported, the traces of the Emperor were found fifteen miles away from the right side of our army. "Another swift cavalry came galloping, in Prince Sethi reined in his horse from the front and gasped. The news he brought made everyone's hearts sink. The emperor's team really wanted to use Namu Bridge as a bait to annihilate themselves.

If it was a month ago, who would be afraid of whom! The Imperial Army is here, just fight. Although the Imperial Army has excellent combat power, these 80,000 Harvey troops are also the elites in the country. It is absolutely impossible for the Imperial Army to take them by force.

But now, the morale of the military is fluctuating, the people are panicked, and the word "returning to the country" is on everyone's mind. Who is willing to fight with the emperor! In addition, the retreat route of Namqiao is now cut off by the empire.

Standing in the howling night wind, Harvey's army looked even more desolate. The country was being plundered by the enemy, but they could only watch helplessly, watching their relatives being killed, humiliated, and captured. Being sold, for a while, the only silence was the crackling sound of torches in the night wind, and everyone's eyes were looking at Prince Sethi in front of him.

Prince Sethi glanced at the faces staring at him under the firelight, gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and ordered, "I know you want to go back, I want to go back too! Pass the order, Third Army With the Fourth Army as the forward, the Eighth Army in charge of the two wings, and the Sixth Army in the rear, the whole army turned to the lower reaches of the river, from where we crossed the river "Return home!" "Go back to China!" "Let's go back to China"

The generals raised their arms and shouted in unison. After hearing Prince Sethis's statement, the generals of each army were obviously relieved. They were really afraid that His Highness the Prince would be knocked unconscious and they would fight to the death in this Nammu. If the bridge collapses, the death of one or two thousand people is nothing, but the time that can be used to evacuate is wasted here, that is the most fatal thing.

The encirclement force of the imperial army has been revealed.

If they don't jump out before the Imperial Army completes the encirclement, then all the 80,000 elites of the Harvey Kingdom will really be left here.

Not to mention how much damage the annihilation of the 80,000 Harvey troops will cause to the Harvey Kingdom, just such news will have a fatal impact on the Harvey people who are eagerly looking forward to the return of the army. The generals are not convinced. Dare to think! That kind of hope has been extinguished, and the Kingdom of Harvey is really on the verge of national destruction and extinction. "Did you hear that, the whole army turned downstream!" "We go downstream, cross the river from the downstream, we are going back!"

Hearing the shouts of the generals returning home, Harvey's army was full of joy. The morale that had been low after the failure to attack the bridge suddenly became high. Knowing that they were crossing the river from the lower reaches to return home, Harvey's army marched faster than normal. The next step is to learn more, cold light armor, spears like a forest, military flags rolling in the wind, countless torches gathered into a long dragon rolling downstream, with momentum like a rainbow!

At the other end of the Nammu Bridge, an imperial general wearing black imperial general armor looked at the Harvey army on the other side of the river heading towards the lower river, and then he breathed a sigh of relief on his nervous face, "Sir, Harvey people Heading towards the lower river! "The young adjutant beside him said excitedly, "If it were us, it would be the same." The imperial general snorted solemnly. "Sound" is still a good arrangement by Mr. Reposti. He just placed an infantry on each side of the Nammu Bridge in advance and then appeared at the appropriate time. In fact, it was only the Fifth Flag Regiment and the Eighth Flag Regiment that moved closer to the Nammu Bridge. These two flag regiments are both infantry flag regiments, with a total strength of only 20,000 people. They do not pose much of a threat to Harvey's army of 80,000 people. They are just a kind of mentality. It's just a matter of tactics. It was the Harveys who messed up their positions, thinking that our army was going to encircle them, so they were so scared that they went downstream. "To be honest, I'm also very surprised. Our army only has 60,000 people. Why? The Wei people will think that we have the strength to encircle them." The adjutant hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "Haha, if you know, then you are not the adjutant, but the boss of Reposti. Such a famous mainland general!" The imperial general grinned and laughed. "With the strength of our army of 60,000, it is naturally impossible to encircle Harvey's army of 80,000, but don't forget. Yes, we have cut off the Namu Bridge. Do you think our raid on the Namu Bridge is just to cut off the Harvey Army's retreat? ""Sir, what do you mean, the raid on the Namu Bridge has other purposes?"

The adjutant looked confused. After all, he was a young officer and had never done anything. Compared with the old foxes in the imperial army who had climbed to the level of flag commanders, most of these imperial flag captains were from the Imperial Guards and followed the emperor. He had extensive knowledge around him and had been tempered by many battles. In addition, the emperor would occasionally act on a whim. Telling the intentions and subtleties of some battle arrangements, even if they only understand 10% or 20% of them, for these flag commanders who were born in the Guards, they will have better vision and strategy than the flag commanders in the general army. Much stronger, which is one of the reasons why the Imperial Central Army has more outstanding combat capabilities than the other legions.

"Two armies are facing each other. It is a situation where they are evenly matched. Suddenly one side cuts off the other side's retreat. As long as the other side is not a fool, the first thing they think about is whether the other side wants to completely annihilate them! This is completely a kind of danger awareness. "Instinct." The imperial general smiled and said coldly, "This is what Lord Reposti wants us to do." The real purpose of taking down the Namu Bridge in the first place is to make the Harvey people have the illusion that we want to eat them by force. In fact, with our 60,000 troops, we want to defeat enough people. It is simply impossible for Harvey's army of 80,000 people to encircle him, but in the face of our army's assault on Nam Bridge, the other side has to consider this issue."

"I understand, Mr. Reposti asked us to raid Namuqiao just to make the other party get into trouble!" The young adjutant's expression changed, and his voice trembled as if he thought of something. "But if the Harvey people are not fooled, Woolen cloth?"

"If we don't fall for it, we will die here, so this is an extremely dangerous move. We can only gamble." The imperial general sighed deeply. In order to induce Harvey's army to take the initiative to attack, he had to make a dangerous move. The problem is that the sword takes the wrong direction. If it is done well, it will be a magic stroke that causes the opponent's entire army to shake. If it is done wrong, it will be like a mantis mantis who overestimates his capabilities! If the commander-in-chief of the Harvey Army can remain calm and remain unmoved, but continues to fight against the Namu Bridge, which is only guarded by more than 3,000 people, at night, even if the Namu Bridge is easy to defend and difficult to attack, if the opponent is willing to spend tens of thousands To fill the gap with one life, it may not be possible to open the chokepoint of Namu Bridge.

After passing the Namu Bridge, Harvey's army had a smooth road back home, and the Imperial Army could only stare in disbelief!

Fortunately, Harvey's army still did not calm down. In fact, it is very difficult to calm down. The country was invaded and the retreat was cut off. Now, imperial troops with unknown intentions are once again found on both wings. No one can calm down, haha. The Wei people were obviously confused and could not even maintain normal judgment. They stepped on the lower reaches of the river that Lord Reposti specifically asked the opponent to choose.

The general watched the torches of Harvey's army rolling towards the lower reaches, and said in a solemn voice, "From here to the mouth of the river crossing downstream, there is a mountain road of dozens of miles. It is absolutely impossible to reach it in one night. In order to gain time, Harvey's army It must be advancing at full speed. After one night, even if it is made of iron, it must be exhausted and its combat power will be greatly reduced. When the exhausted Harvey army The moment they choose to cross the river, what awaits them on the other side will be 30,000 imperial cavalry who have been recuperating for a whole night! The Harvey people are on their own death road. Who can blame this empire! The general curled his lips slightly, turned around and ordered to the admiring adjutant behind him, "Report to Lord Reposti, Harvey's army has moved down the river!" "

In the early morning in the suburbs of Namu River, the sky was gloomy. In the white sky, a group of crows flew over the black broken walls that had been ravaged by the fire, and landed on the charred walls.

From the direction of the vast fields, the morning breeze blew away the scorching heat. The southern part of the Order State suffered considerable damage during the invasion of the Three Kingdoms. Nearly 60% of the villages and more than half of the cities were looted and ruined, especially Ha The Uyghur army was plundering the southern part of the Order State, and they wished they could undo all the hard work they had put in over the past few decades. Take it back, in the morning light that has not yet fully risen, an imperial cavalry came from the position above the river, reined in the horse in front of the famous imperial general Reposti who was wearing the black armor of the imperial general, and shouted loudly, "Sir, Harvey Army." Three pontoon bridges have been built at the river crossing. "How many people have already crossed the river?"

Reposti raised his head and glanced at the sky. The imperial cavalry were lined up behind him. The red tassel hats on their heads were swaying in the wind, and their black cloaks were fluttering in the wind like clouds. The march of Harvey's army was really real. It was quick. It only took one night to travel dozens of miles of mountain roads, and they immediately started cutting down trees to build pontoons after arriving. Such efficiency shows how eager the Harvey Army is to return home.

Three or four miles away from the river, the river beach where the Harvey people are swimming is just a large mound in front of them. The horses of the Imperial Cavalry are kicking the ground uneasily and screaming twice in a low voice. The entire team of black lines , just from these cavalry The back of them spread across the wilderness on the opposite side and gradually dispersed into an irregular quadrilateral. The neatly arranged armors and spears were reflected in the faint morning light. "More than 10,000 people have crossed the river and are forming a team!" "Imperial scouts respectfully report" "My lord, take action." "

The imperial generals looked at Reposti with some red eyes. This time, the battle for the commander of the Empire's Southern Ouba Army basically depends on one hand. You must know that in Carisu, rival Salton's second in the south. The army made the empire famous, and the glasses of the Opalo countries were shattered on the ground. In just ten days, The overlord of a small area was wiped out, and more than a million Kalisu and the entire upper back of Kalisu fell into the hands of the empire. It can be said that all the guns and oars were wiped out in a chat and laughter, and Salton's name also jumped due to this battle. After becoming a famous general in the empire, in comparison, Lord Reposti, who shined in the Battle of the Holy Capital, seems a little inferior! "No hurry, wait a moment." Reposti's eyes flashed, and he raised his hand and waved. "There are only more than 10,000 people. The opponent can still choose to lose pawns to save the commander. We need to wait until the opponent's commander's flag crosses the river." OK!"

On the opposite side of the river, Prince Sethis, commander of Harvey's army, stood on the river embankment. Looking at the white waves rolling southward in front of him, he felt a touch of sadness in his heart. This place had been occupied by Harvey and was already occupied by Harvey. The land of the Kingdom, but now, they have to leave it here and escape in a hurry. It is really ironic to say that the Harvey Kingdom has been planning hard for so many years, but in the end it was all in vain! "Your Highness, our army has passed ten thousand people, and we still haven't found the emperor's shadow. He should be heading here. Without further ado, please cross the river, Your Highness!" Several Generals Harvey came behind him, and they were alone. He knelt down and persuaded. Under the persuasion of the generals, Prince Sethi gave up the idea of ​​waiting until the last soldier crossed before crossing the river. After more than a dozen Surrounded by a number of guards, he boarded the pontoon. Moving with him, there was also the golden lion flag of the Harvey army commander. He stepped on the opposite river bank just now. Here, the Imperial Swift Cavalry was already carrying The message came over, "Sir, the enemy's flag has crossed the river." "Pass my order, target, the flag of Harvey's army, let's start!"

Reposti looked up sharply and heard the sound of weapons being unsheathed. The 5,000 imperial melee cavalry at the front of the queue all raised their cavalry spears and surged toward the river beach, roaring fiercely. The wind from the river suddenly hit the sharp blade formed by the spears. On the top, the group began to move forward. Countless horse hooves were lifted and put down. The soil on the ground was lifted up, like a slowly unfolding fan. Thousands of cavalry and horses gathered like a wall and pushed forward, like a black tide. The same long line is rolling in, the sky is filled with smoke and dust, and the wind is blowing backwards

"Papa pa pa"

The bright line formed by the imperial cavalry's lances was like a sharp sword that slammed into Harvey's line of troops running in panic on the river beach, rolling up large amounts of smoke, dust and blood. The cavalry behind them were still advancing, and the whole row was advancing. The queue is like a torrent rushing through, and they hit a dam intensively at the same time. The targets are all pointing in one direction, where the commanding flag of Harvey's army is. Shoot the man first, shoot the horse first, and defeat the enemy before defeating the king! Cut off the commanding banner of Harvey's army, and the exhausted Harvey's army will inevitably collapse!
