Realm of Power

Under the scorching sun, a crowd of ants-like people surrounded the operation. The roughly polished stone bullets were carried into the cradle pocket of the catapult by strong men. Dozens of shirtless men pulled the thick ropes hard. The winch made a grinding sound as it tightened. At this moment, the air seemed to pause, and everyone's eyes fell on these giant-like catapults.

Starting in the afternoon, the Anser army began to no longer take human lives to attack the walls of Edinris, but instead dragged out rows of large slings.

Following the slogan, pull it to the limit and then suddenly release it. Stone bullets, large and small, were ejected. Drawing an arc in the air, it flew towards the protruding sentry tower of the city wall like a heavy rain. I saw large and small stone bullets colliding with the sentry tower violently, and heard a dull and vibrating sound. The army formed a formation in front of these catapults to prevent the city defenders from attacking and destroying these precious offensive tools.

On the wall of Edinlis, the guard Su Feige looked stunned. He pressed his hand heavily on the pile of earth that was hot in the sun. It seemed that he could not feel the hot hand at all. He just looked at it with a fixed look, which was absolutely impossible. The Anser army's large catapults made their brows knit together. It was really eye-opening. Where did the Anser people get these catapults? And they are definitely large catapults specially used to attack strong wall fortresses. ,

You must know that the construction technology of large catapults is a high-end technology that only a few large countries with considerable military strength have mastered even in the Obaro region. For Anse, whose technology is still in a semi-primitive stage, it was originally in Nankari. During the Battle of Su, it was only with the help of more than twenty catapults provided by Martin Liya that the city wall was broken open, and the southern wall defense line that had blocked the Dark Seers for decades was finally captured. Only two months had passed. How could the Se people have mastered the construction technology of large slings?

A large trebuchet is not only a shell, but also has extremely strict requirements on the matching parts, especially the parts at key positions. If the parts cannot meet the requirements or the quality is not good, once such a large trebuchet is put on the battlefield, it will be destroyed. Disaster, imagine a huge tower crane with a height of more than ten meters slamming down on the people below during use, or the catapult falling apart as a whole under the sudden expansion of the huge elastic force, sucking in all the people nearby. The tragic scene

After being slightly stunned, Su Feige showed a disdainful smile. He didn't know where the Ansers obtained the catapult construction technology from the Kalisu people, but they didn't even have the most basic experience in using it. No, so they pushed it up forcibly. Just look at the size of these catapults. They are simply They are striving for the bigger the better to obtain these tightly structured catapults. Lower races like the Anser believe that the larger the catapult, the greater the power. How could they know that once such a huge catapult collapses, there will be so many casualties? Secondly, the most terrible result is the blow to the morale of our own army.

Even the bravest and toughest veteran will feel discouraged in his heart when he sees his side's catapult suddenly collapse during the battle, causing a mess in the rear. He will curse his side for having a pig teammate. How can he continue to feel like that? Fight on!

Moreover, the Anser people really want to use slings to capture Edin Reese, which is simply a fantasy. You must know that in the eyes of outsiders, Edin Reese is just a convex bump on the high ground, and the outer city wall is not very tall, but after Martin Decades of continuous construction and excavation by the Liya Guardians have actually hollowed out most of the entire convex hull where Edinris is located, and the entire mountain has become part of the fortress. Attackers will be desperate after breaking through the outer wall. It was discovered that they had destroyed nine The gap that was torn open by the strength of Niu and Hu is actually just a layer of clothing for the Edinris Fortress. What lies in front of the invaders is the main body of the fortress consisting of nearly half of the convex mountain, and there is only one road spiraling up. Climbing up layer by layer, there is no other way, and the large sentry towers at the four corners are enough to turn this only road into a dead end. Without several times more corpses to fill in, I am afraid it will be difficult to even stand. to, let alone capture the high-up command tower.

It is said that the most important thing in a siege battle is spirit. Edin Reese is destined to make the attackers despair.

"Boom"

"boom"

Huge slings rained down on the outer walls and sentry towers, bombarding them unhurriedly. The four sentry towers were the first to bear the brunt. The slinging shells in the distance seemed to have eyes. They were not only powerful, but also extremely accurate, often Six or seven out of ten shots can always be hit. Even if the four sentry towers are completely made of solid large stone bases, part of the shooting platform above is made of wood. Withstanding such a violent bombardment, one could immediately see the specially reinforced sentry tower on the convex hull of Edinris. Under the heavy bombardment, rubble was smashed and scattered, and human body parts were also seen flying around. It was tragic. The screams suddenly started, and some battlements were blown out of the way, revealing the panic-stricken defenders inside. Every time the bombardment hit the target, the Anse army on the opposite side let out overwhelming cheers.

"What the hell is going on? Who made these slings?"

Su Feige's face began to change from mocking to serious. It had been more than an hour. The Anser's tall and obviously problematic large catapults had not collapsed until now. Instead, they were The range of the bombardment is becoming more and more precise. It feels like the previous hour or so was just like letting the other party debug it.

"Sir, something is wrong."

One of his subordinates told him, "The technology of building a catapult and the technology of using a catapult are two different things. Building a catapult is the skill of the craftsman, and how to use the catapult accurately is entirely the skill of the person who operates the catapult. In the end, , weapons like catapults, in addition to a rough shooting angle calculation, more depends on the operator. The author's touch and rich experience, distance, wind direction, and projectile landing point are able to use such a large catapult to such an accurate level. These require a lot of experience accumulation. It is absolutely impossible for someone like Anser to do this. A rookie who has never touched anything before can only be a veteran, and a veteran among the elite."

Hearing his subordinate's words, Su Feige curled up his lips slightly and said, "Generally, only experienced veterans can operate weapons like slings well, but no one dares to say that the Ansers are completely blind." Su Fei Ge raised his head and glanced at the gradually darkening sky, and said in a cold voice, "Try it during the day." After the attack, the Anse people may come up at night and pass on my order. No one is allowed to go down the city wall tonight and no one is allowed to disarm. I don't believe that the Ansers are all made of iron. As long as they don't have water for three days. , the Ansers themselves will collapse, and then everyone will be able to kill them all!"

The sky shrouded like a huge black curtain, the heat of the day quickly dissipated, and the bombardment of slings from Anser gradually stopped. Outside Edin Reese, a campfire covered the ground, and the coolness of the night breeze swept away the day. The heat dissipates,

Luxir, the leader of the Anser Army, stood under the huge catapult, staring at these behemoths, and couldn't help but touch his palms. This is the empire's large catapult. Sure enough, no matter how many times he looks at it, it will always impress people. The feeling is still shocking. When, I secretly thought that if I could also have such a combat tool, I am afraid it would be a real one. Just as they were qualified to join the powerful nation of Oparo, they thought that the catapults of the Martin Liya people were already at the top level in the mainland. However, when the Imperial Craftsman Battalion pulled out thirty large-scale Imperial siege catapults that had been produced overnight. , still made everyone take a breath of air when they looked at this giant-like creature that was more than 20 meters high.

At the southern wall of Calisu, Luxir had seen the destructive power of catapults. The catapults supported by the Martin Liya people were generally four to five meters high, and the largest was only ten meters, which was different from the large-scale empire in front of him. The siege catapults are completely incomparable. They are just halfway there. Although the Anse people cannot build catapults, they also know from the most intuitive sense that the larger the catapults, the more powerful they will be. horrible,

"Sir, the other party accepted the food, but the woman we sent was returned!" A general from the Arnuo tribe came from the darkness and reported with an ugly face behind him.

"Returned?"

Luxil's eyes flashed with a trace of annoyance, and he hit the support of a catapult next to him with his fist. "Did you not work hard enough and intercepted all the beautiful ones?"

"Sir, what we sent is definitely the most beautiful one, but the commander of the empire simply refused to let us enter the camp," the Ano general said with a very depressed look on his face.

These catapults were naturally built by craftsmen in the imperial army. As part of the cooperation, the empire sent two craftsmen groups to accompany the army, and a total of 500 siege tower craftsmen assisted in the construction of siege equipment. For Anser, this was absolutely It's a piece of cake. Who doesn't know that the imperial army has the best combat power in the world, half of which Their combat power is all outrageous weapons and equipment from the elite of the empire. Just like the large-scale siege engine launched by the craftsman battalion this time, Anse was dumbfounded. It turns out that slings can be built so big. It turns out that slings can be built so big. It can be ejected so accurately. The Imperial Army claims to be indestructible, and it seems to be true.

No kind of city wall can stop the indiscriminate bombardment of such a large-scale catapult!

What's more, with such a key technology right in front of you, how could you not be tempted? However, if you want to use force against the empire's craftsmen, it's obviously not possible. Since you can't use force, Luxir's mind turned around and he chose the beauty trap. They were all men, and they were soldiers who were out all the time. Luxir didn't believe it when he saw beautiful women. Some of these imperial craftsmen refused to stay.

As long as a few can be left behind, it is not easy to obtain the construction technology of the empire's large catapults, and mastering the construction of large catapults will be of vital significance to Anse's rapid entry into the ranks of regional powers after the founding of the country. See Look at the current trend of Oparo Yun Tandang knew that whoever had a bigger fist would have the possibility to become the regional hegemon. In order to keep a few imperial craftsmen, Anse also spent a lot of money, especially selecting a dozen beautiful slaves from the Ange tribe. If you send it over, who knows you will be blocked from the camp!

Forget it, let’s talk about this later!

Luxir sighed and turned to look at Edin Reese's position in the darkness. It was also brightly lit. How should we attack this strong wall? Even if you fill in all the tens of thousands of people in the secret grid, you still won't be able to achieve effective results! Now there is also a problem in the army. Some soldiers have begun to suffer from hysteria. Due to lack of water, some soldiers could not help but go to nearby water sources to get water for drinking. Then they fell ill. On the first day, more than 100 people fell ill. , in just two days, the number of people who fell ill has surged to more than 300, and the water shortage in the army is even more serious, and the time given to myself is running out." Your Excellency, Ai, Commander of the Fourth Flag of the Second Army of the Southern Empire Stant asked to see "an Arno guard came to report

"That Estante? What is he doing here!"

Luxir frowned. This Estante was the commander of the Imperial Army who was responsible for guarding the Imperial Artisans this time. Two thousand Imperial cavalry surrounded the entire Imperial Artisans, preventing him from sending women in. , this is this person. Could it be that Estante saw through his own thoughts and came here to mock him on purpose? Using women to win over those craftsmen is indeed a somewhat unsightly method.

"Sir, it doesn't matter if you meet him." The Arnold general standing next to Luxir said in a low voice. "My subordinates heard that the empire destroyed the northern continent in the counterattack, although the nominal commander was Lytle, but it was this person who actually commanded, especially against North Korea. The psychological warfare of Ellensburg, the first strong wall on the mainland, has now been regarded as an incredible and magical example by the entire Opalo, and what we are facing this time is the strong Edin Reese. The empire specially sent this person, I’m afraid it’s not just as simple as protecting the craftsmen.”

"Let him come over. Since the empire is willing to help us take down Edinris, it shouldn't harm us."

Luxir nodded hesitantly. Soon, an imperial young man wearing a black imperial uniform came to Luxir. Luxir had a smile on his face and saluted the young man. , this person is Estante sent by the empire. Thinking of the sensation of the Battle of Hokuriku, the almost incredible speed of recruiting 100,000 troops in just a few days, and sending 60,000 all the way south to the invincible Hokuriku nobles. The army killed them all in one night,

That courage and cold-bloodedness are enough to make any soldier moved.

And for such a young talent, Luxir couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The empire's generals were as bright as the starry sky. It was worthy of being the continent's hegemon that had risen in just a few years. On the other hand, Anse spent a lot of time and effort. His strength is only occupying a southern area of ​​​​Calisu. It is completely incomparable to the empire that can destroy a country in just ten days." His Excellency Estante personally led the craftsman group to come to assist. I, the Arno tribe, are very grateful. , if anything You can tell me anything. As long as I can do it secretly, I will definitely not let you..." Luxir said with a serious face. "Is it true that you can tell me anything? Then I want to withdraw tonight. Can we go? "The young man smiled back, interrupting Luxir to continue speaking, with a sly glint in his eyes. "This... Luxir didn't expect that he would be interrupted, and his face turned blue. white, inner He also cursed angrily, saying that he was a fool. How could this guy be even more foolish than himself? He could take a polite word seriously. That was all he said. "Haha, I was joking." Estante looked at Luke. With a smile on his face, Sil took out an order book from his arms and handed it to Luxir who was opposite him. His face suddenly became serious. "But this is a real order, just received from the combat base camp." "book" empire "I'm an Anser, not an Imperial person." Luxir's eyes flashed and he said calmly. He could faintly feel that the other party was not joking. "This is not an imperial order, but an order from Arnovel." It is signed by your Excellency and is given to you. It says that starting from tonight, I fully accept the command of this battle." Estante's mouth was cold and his eyes were as sharp as a blade. The story of Luxir also flashed in his mind. information

Arnowell's confidant generals are brave and fearless in fighting to the death, but when it comes to thinking about strategies, they are a little lacking. In the pursuit of Kalisu in the south, other armies are afraid of the Kalisu. After all, they are ten An army of ten thousand, an opponent that has not been defeated in decades, and much better equipment. If they are really forced into a dead end and fight to the death, I am afraid that No one had a good harvest, only Luxir led his troops to bite the tail of the 100,000 troops evacuating from the southern wall of Kalisu. They foolishly fought for a day and night, and were counterattacked by the Kalisu army several times. He was killed at one point. If it wasn't for Martin Li Ya's army to stab him in the back, or he would have been counterattacked by the 100,000 Kali Sunan Army.

But the so-called rough man is not completely unscrupulous. He ordered the army to sit back and watch the Kalisu army and the Martin Liya people fight to the death. It was him, although he was severely reprimanded by Arnovel after the war, and Luxir The famous Leng Tou Qing among the Anser people also made the Martin Liya people want to use this matter to push various ministries to oppose the Arnuo tribe, but in the end they failed. But in fact, everyone knows that without Arnovel's order, There's no way the stupid Luxir could have such a cunning mind!

His eyes were fixed on the signature of the order book for a full minute. No one knew what Luxir was thinking. Then Luxir raised his head and took a deep breath. "Since it is the handwriting of His Highness Arnowell, I "Follow the order." Estante secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that the other party would be stunned, but his face still remained. Ran looked extremely confident and said, "In this case, I will issue the first order, please order the entire army to evacuate overnight." "You bastard, Edin Reese is right in front of you. You only need to add a little more force to kill him." "Come on, if you evacuate now, all your previous efforts will be wasted." The Anuo general next to him cursed angrily.
