Realm of Power

The heat wave was rolling and hitting my face. More than a day had passed since Anser crossed the border.

The Ansers who appeared in front of Edinris changed from being scattered at first to being pressed in large swaths. Finally, regular troops of the Ansers began to appear. The nearby water sources either dried up and left only wet soil. , or someone is rolling on the ground in pain after drinking water. Looking around, the Edingris convex hull with the highest terrain is undoubtedly the most conspicuous target.

By noon of the next day, it was already very obvious that the Anser army was fighting an undeclared war. Looking out from the convex hull of Edinris, one could see patches of makeshift tents covering the ground. In addition to large numbers of The disgraced slaves and groups of elite infantrymen came out of the camp.

Su Feige stood on the observation deck of the Edinris convex hull, his eyebrows tightly knitted into the Chinese character "Chuan". It was unbelievable that these Anse people who came along the route they had set had not yet arrived. There are signs of a large number of epidemics. As the number of people gathering continues to increase, In addition, the attack on Edin Reese also began to become more fierce. The first wave was repulsed, and the second wave soon came out, taking turns like a never-ending wave, pushing and dragging all kinds of The attack tool was ready to destroy everything from the very beginning. Moreover, follow-up troops and horses are still joining this battlefield in a steady stream.

Standing in Edin Reis and looking west and east, during the day it was an endless stream of infantry advancing to attack, and at night it was a bonfire filling the entire field of vision, burning until the end of the sky.

Fortunately, after Su Feige was transferred to Edin Reese, he had strengthened the city defense system of Edin Reese as much as possible, blocking three of the original four gates with large rocks, leaving only one door for entry and exit. , and arrow towers that can support each other are also built on the outer walls. And to the south. Two more fences were set up to connect a passage directly to the underground water source in the bulge to maintain the smooth flow of the water source. In addition to strengthening the internal defense system, the city wall was also repaired as much as possible. There is also enough food stored in the bulge to last three months. No matter how much there is, there is no time to transport more. Guards and military equipment have also been replenished to a certain extent as much as possible.

The Martin Tooth Prairie during the rainy season is known as an incredibly beautiful area. The two largest rivers, the North Dabe River and the Yeni River, flow into the prairie from the east, like water splashed on a large green carpet. Pearls, large and small lakes formed on it are dotted like mirrors, and long and short rivers are intertwined in the green On the grassy ground, wild horses are galloping in groups, and the fragrance of grass and waves is everywhere. Being in it is like being trapped in an endless beautiful dream. The area is vast, and there are thousands of large and small lakes in the area. It constitutes the distribution belt of the major gathering places of the Martinliya Kingdom, covering more than three thousand miles from east to west and more than one thousand miles from north to south.

Even the fastest horse, traveling at a high speed of hundreds of miles a day without any rest, without any obstacles, would not be able to cross the Martin Tooth Prairie in less than a month. In the dry season, there is a heat wave. The rolling wind blows in the face, and the yellow dust shows the yellow dust of the hot and dry season. Soil covers most of the west, with severe water evaporation and drastic climate changes. It is windy and rainy in spring, and the south is dry and hot. The gentle hills, plains, deserts and mountains make up the entire prairie. Under this situation In order to compete for water resources and expand, all the nations that can exist have become brave and cherish force.

Standing on the sentry tower, the hot wind blowing towards my face was more chilling, and the grass and trees were moving on the vast land. In the hot air with large amounts of water vapor transpiring, the world was a transparent scene.

When people are in it, they feel so excited that their whole body is boiling in steam. To a certain extent, Sufige was prepared to defend to death from the beginning. The largest water source nearby is Eding Reese. As long as Eding Reese Don’t lose it, no matter how many people gather outside The enemy could not survive for five days, not to mention that he had polluted all the water sources along the way in advance. Without food, he could still survive for five or six days, but without water, he was afraid that he would not be able to survive for two days. He did not believe in his own Six thousand elites will not be able to defend it for even two days.

The area of ​​Edinris is not very large, and it is more than enough to defend it with such a force. Moreover, the giant wood of Edinris is used as a wall, and a six-foot-deep trench is dug out. There are six large sentry towers leaning on the wooden wall, like chains. Firmly guarding the only door that can be accessed now, Although the offensive launched by the Ansers was like a violent storm from the beginning, in just half a day, four to five thousand corpses were dropped in front of the Stingris bulge. The more the Ansers attacked, the more Meng, the more it proves that Anse people's situation is worrying, now they can only remain anxious. They rely on human lives to make up for it, but the Ansers are indeed a backward race. Not to mention the weapons and equipment, and there is no discipline at all in combat. They swarmed up and fled after not being able to hold on for a few times. After several attacks, they suffered losses. Four to five thousand people were killed, but even Edin Reese’s We haven’t even touched the gate, so it’s no wonder that they were suppressed by the Kalisu people and kept south of the Southern Mountains for decades. If Lord White Fox personally arranged the arrangement and pushed the 100,000 Kalisu southern troops into despair, I’m afraid it would be impossible again. In a few decades, this backward and ignorant race will not be able to cross the southern mountains.

It's ridiculous that such a backward and ignorant race still wants to invade the Martinli Ya Prairie! "Look, what is that!" "It's a siege tower. I'm afraid this siege tower is going to collapse!" There was a roar of laughter at the top of the city. Su Feige followed the direction of the laughter and glanced over. , I saw the camp of the Ansers in the distance opened again. This time, the number of the Ansers' army had obviously increased a lot, and the heads of people were densely surging, "Bang, bang, bang!"

Dozens of large drums beat loudly. Amidst the sound of the drums, the sea of ​​​​people pushed several siege towers that were obviously improvised forward slowly. Because the ground was soft and improperly used, siege towers could be seen from time to time. The wheels of the tower are stuck in the ditch, or are swaying, as if they may fall apart at any time. People say that the Ansers are a backward race that cannot even make slings. Such a siege tower cannot even stand there. You know when it will collapse, let alone relying on this This siege tower is used to transport soldiers to attack high places. This siege tower is obviously not made by Ansel. In all likelihood, it should be an antique that was taken out of the warehouse of the Kali Suan Army. It sways and creaks when pushed. There were noisy sounds, and a sign that they might fall apart at any time. It was such an Ansel, with such weapons and equipment, and it wanted to compete for the Martin Liya Prairie. No wonder the white fox had such a look in his eyes every time he mentioned the Anser people. The undisguised contempt is so obvious, "Archers at the ready!"

Looking at the Ansers getting closer and closer below, a Martin Liya officer shouted loudly. Immediately, a field of cold arrows were raised on the city wall, waiting in silent formation, ready to give aid to the Ansers approaching below. With the blow of the storm, the officer's lips couldn't help squirming, talking about the distance. When the surging crowd reached a distance of 100 meters, the officer shouted "Whoosh whoosh!" Countless arrow clusters flew out from the city of Edinris, drawing graceful arcs in the air. The sound of the bowstrings vibrating violently tore through the air, intertwining into a volley of arrows in the air for an instant. Zhangmi.com! As the cold light fell, the heart-rending shouts of countless people suddenly rang out, and the Anse people immediately threw themselves on the ground.

"嘡啷"

There was a harsh sound of metal colliding, and the arrows hit the siege tower and scattered sparks, which kept flying away.

And outside the long trench sixty steps away, Mu Yu's short arrow penetrated deeply into the armor, and the person who was hit by the arrow was covered in blood. In an instant, I don’t know how many people were shot over. Amidst the sound of drums and screams, another large group of Anse people carrying earth bags on their backs hurriedly threw the earth bags on their bodies into the ditch under the rain of arrows, and then the remaining people He ran desperately towards the siege tower,

On the edge of the trench, the sound of arrows being struck was heard, followed by screams. The bags of earth rolled down the trench together with the bodies of the people, stacked on top of each other. Even if someone just fell into the trench and tried to climb up using both hands and feet, But more earth bags were falling like rain, pushing them back again. They could only hear screams in the trench, which were high and low! Along the trench line, corpses piled up like mountains. Several siege tower vehicles were almost completely trapped in the piles of corpses, and they were unable to retreat. Outside the trench, the smell of blood was so thick that it was hard to breathe. I don't know how many injured people were struggling and howling in the blood-stained soil. In the battle formation, there is a place where corpses stand. Especially when attacking key points, the cost of human lives is horrifyingly cruel.

The Martin Liya people's compound bows are also famous in southern Europe for their powerful composite bows. Shooting a wooden feather short arrow at a distance of sixty paces is enough to break through iron armor, not to mention the Anse people who are scattered like a swarm of swarms in front of them. Even the clothes in the armor were in tatters. He kept falling down in front of the falling arrow clusters. He barely carried it forward for more than thirty meters. Then he collapsed again with a crash and ran back as if he was lifeless. "Haha!" There was a roar of laughter on the city wall. I can't remember which wave it was. It was like this every time. A few arrows were enough to collapse it. A nation that even the Kalisu people couldn't defeat. How much combat power can it have? It’s okay to hide in the dense forest like the Kalisu people, but they have to run out and embarrass themselves. I really don’t know how self-centered this mentality is! "Sir, this is already the eighth wave. Is today..."

An Arno officer with colorful feathers on his head looked hesitantly to the side of a strong man with a stern look on his face. He just looked ahead in the direction of Edin Reese, it was Luxir.

"Continue, don't stop until 10,000 people die today!"

This godly general, who was known as the crocodile among the Ansers, did not show any physical pain at the loss of more than a thousand people in front of him. He curled his lips coldly, saying that if there was anything to be hurt about, it was all. Logically speaking, for the driven Ange people, taking advantage of the current chaos is a good time to escape. It is not impossible to run away while they are in disarray, but But there are very few Ange people running away. Why? Because there are only 70,000 or 80,000 Ange people here, and more Ange people have been divided up. If one of them escapes, not only will the entire team be beheaded directly, Moreover, it will also involve members of this team who have been assigned to other tribes. Even if someone wants to run away, they will be pulled back.

Luxir's main mission now is one, dead people

The blood of tens of thousands of people was used to convince the Martin Liya army in Edin Reese that the main force of the Ansel Ministry was in Edin Reese. The camp layout looked like a gathering of more than 100,000 troops, and there was a steady stream of support troops. , in fact, the real Anser army only has 30,000 people, and the support troops that are constantly coming in are only 1,000 people. The illusion of thousands of scattered troops coming in and out, all this is fake. Anyway, the ground is covered with yellow dust. It is basically difficult to see clearly if the line of sight is more than 300 meters. Anyway, it falls in the eyes of the Martin Liya people on the opposite side. They all basically look the same, they are thin and dark, and they all look like monkeys emerging from the wild forest.

The Anse people are not fools. Arnovel, who has the qualifications of a hero, is a great talent that emerges from the Anse tribe in a century. He knows that if the Anse wants to establish a country, the Kingdom of Martin Liya and the Empire are two mountains that cannot be avoided. Since If you choose the imperial camp, you must take advantage of the full support of the empire to severely defeat the Martin Liya Kingdom. Otherwise, when the Martin Liya people react, they will definitely retaliate against Anser.

The only way is to strike first and inflict pain on Martin Liya people first, so that Martin Liya people have to admit Anse's founding of the country.

Naturally, the first to bear the brunt was Kathu, which is known as the economic center in the west of Martin Liya. Sufige would not have thought that on the day when the Anser army stormed Edin Reese, one hundred thousand An Se troops had already marched from Edin Reese. It crossed the Edin Reese in a mighty direction in the northeast, and headed straight towards Kathu, the important town of Martinliya Kingdom in the west.

At this time, the most important town of Kathu was already full of war. Because there was no war warning from Edin Reese, Kathu almost launched a desperate resistance in a hurry, using one Martin Fang compound bow after another. Damaged due to broken tendons, dozens of siege towers provided by the empire now became like hedgehogs, with dense layers of wooden feather tanks on them. The corpses were piled up so much that most of the wheels were covered, and it could no longer be pushed. The Anse army was like a nest of ants overflowing the city wall of Kathu, making a cry like a wild beast. Everywhere that caught the eye, there were The surging cold light of the sword

Alexi, the guard general of Katu in the Kingdom of Martinliya, was covered in blood. He held a spear in his hand and led his infantry to fight to the death. The Martinliya people only had three thousand troops in Kathu, because Kathu was not a front line, and The city wall of Kathu is ten meters high. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for the enemy to cross Edin Reese and approach Kathu, but now Edin Reese's sight has long been blinded. "Kill! Capture Kathu!" Under the personal command of the leader of the Arno clan, Arnowell, one hundred thousand Ansel troops rushed in and crashed into the walls of Kathu. They were in no particular formation. Climb up with the weapon in your mouth, rely on human life to tear open a breach in the Kathu defenders, and pour in like a tide.
