Realm of Power

"Kill!"

On top of the Holy Capital City, he saw that the spears of the religious legion who were crowded on the city wall were actually being pulled back. A Martin Sharptooth elite officer who had just climbed up the city wall could hardly believe his eyes, and then he Seeing a large instrument appearing in front of him, it looked like an enlarged form of a huge crossbow. This brave horse climbed onto the wall. The Dingliya warrior was like a mouse seeing a cat, and his shouts suddenly stopped. Although the thing in front of him was not very clear in the night, its unique and ferocious shape had been used in the attack on the outskirts of the Holy City some time ago. In the movie, many people in the Martin Liya Army were shot by this kind of thing and got phobia. This is an imperial heavy ballista! A powerful weapon that can penetrate heavy armor from a hundred meters away.

Being pointed at by such a thing, at this moment, the scalp of the brave officer Martin Liya was numb. He didn't care about anything. He turned around and wanted to jump down. There were people below. He might not necessarily die if he fell, but if Being hit like this, even if it doesn't hit the fatal part, is fatal. The reaction of this Martin Liya officer was very quick, and at this moment, another Martin Liya soldier happened to have exceeded the limit. , I heard a deafening and painful sound The trembling sound "Puff puff!" The sound of metal cutting through flesh, the scattering of five crossbow arrows shot out by the empire's heavy ballistae, like five arcs of sickles snapping from the body of the Martin Riya infantryman The waist swept over while just jumping Officer Martin Liya, who was leaving the city, looked at his body in disbelief as a line of blood shot out from his waist. Only then did he feel the severe pain from his waist, which was neatly cut open from the waist." Imperial heavy crossbow..."

The shrill voice of the Martin Liya officer, and then the half-cut body was directly hung down from the gap in the city wall, hitting the crowd below. The bright red human blood mixed with internal organs was like rain exploding in the air. Below The infantrymen looked at this scene in complete confusion. Everyone wanted to cheer, but in the blink of an eye...

Officer Martin Liya was famous among the middle and lower-level officers for his bravery and aggressiveness, and he was extremely brave in every battle. The highest record was that after he attacked the city wall alone, he was stunned to hold on to the opponent's dozen soldiers. A full five or six minutes of all-out counterattack. You must know that the siege battle is the most brutal, especially when the siege party is completely filled with flesh and blood. The moment they board the city , you simply can’t imagine how many enemies you will face, how many pairs of eyes will look at you teasingly on the top of the city, ten, twenty, fifty, or even a hundred, who can attack and still hold on. One minute is quite good. One minute is enough for the people following you to come up. Maybe whether the entire city's defense line can be defeated depends on not being killed in that minute! "Kill, press on!"

The 30,000 Martin Li Ya army, who had been recharging their strength all night, could not be frightened by this childishness. They held up their shields and continued to climb against the arrow clusters falling like raindrops from the top of the city. At this moment, coming from Chengtou The fierce roar from the side suddenly covered everyone's eardrums, and the Martin Liya people saw hundreds of light spots concentrating on the crowd. "Puff puff puff", blood exploded from the body, and pieces of meat flew, accompanied by the people and horses. Broken muscles and bones The crisp sound and the screams of the deceased before death were even more horrifying. These light spots set off a bloody storm in the crowd. The bloody scene in front of them caused a commotion in the Martin Army below, because this was not the first time for them. Encountering this kind of situation, in Getaiya, the imperial army's thunder gods and heavy ballistae once caused them to bleed like rivers. No matter how brave the warrior is, they are all lambs to be slaughtered in front of these extremely powerful imperial weapons. general vulnerability

And now, they encountered another "Attention, disperse" in the Holy City.

The officer leading the attack on the city shouted loudly. Dots of cold light coming from the direction of the city head crossed the distance of tens of meters at an extremely fast speed and exploded again inside the crowd. The location where they were hit was like being hit. The front of the heavy hammer was dented, and even the steel shield was twisted and flew into the air, not to mention the human body behind it, especially the scatterbow arrow without tail fins. The moment the human body was concentrated, it flew forward at high speed. , due to the loss of balance after the collision, it was like a high-speed rotating top, violently sweeping into the crowd behind it. Once it exploded, it was within a range of two or three meters around. The bones of the people who were hit were broken, and blood rained everywhere. "Pfft" The sound of sharp weapons piercing the body made the people around them look ugly. They were not afraid of death, but it did not mean that they could face this kind of naked killing calmly. "Come forward."

The Imperial heavy ballistae on the top of the city frantically poured out firepower towards Martin's army. Pieces of cold light scattered and exploded in the crowd. Many of the ballistae were off-kilter, greatly reducing their power. But even if In this way, it still puts heavy pressure on Martin Liya's army from soul to body, and the flaming arrows in the sky continue to It stopped, and the light and darkness were extinguished. Countless people and horses moved forward densely. Countless sharp weapons were slashing and killing each other. Both sides of the fierce battle were gnashing their teeth and bleeding. There were swords and swords everywhere. The battle line was completely turned into blood red. There were people holding hands. The soldiers with heavy shields stood up staggeringly from the pool of blood. Up and down the city, countless canines were fighting.

The fire was burning and roaring in the wind. The battle lines between the two sides spread out and filled the several-mile-long section of the Holy Capital. From a distance, it looked like a huge fire dragon raging at the top of the city. "Archer, shoot."

The archers on both sides just raised their bows and fired indiscriminately upwards. The heavy ballistae on the top of the city made the 30,000 Martin elite troops specially sent by Spike have little effect for a while. After all, it was just a wooden ladder attack, and they went up in one go. There were only one or two people trying desperately to hold on to the gap, but soon They would be beaten into bloody holes by the crossbow fire. After losing two squadrons in continuous battles, Spike ordered a temporary withdrawal. However, with so many people, it was not possible to withdraw at once, and because of the large number of people, it was overcrowded. , many troops were trapped in the chaotic flow of people and could not move.

Sulu City

The fire dyed the sky red, and what Salon saw was a tragic scene of corpses on the ground. A large amount of blood flowed along the muddy ground. Corpses were everywhere, and the human blood under his feet was like a small stream, which was even greater than that of a human being at one time. On the insteps, in the bloody mud, there are naked bodies that have been stripped naked. Many corpses are soaked in the mire filled with blood and water. Look at It looked so white that it made people frown. The Fourth Army of the Il tribe broke through Sulu City. Although it was only a few dozen minutes, it also caused this small city to suffer a disaster. Salon glanced at it. I can't help but frown slightly. This is even the case in Sulu City, which is twenty miles away from the Holy Capital. So, you can know what it will be like around the Holy Capital by just thinking about it.

Salon's insistence on coming to Sulu City not only cuts off the possibility of the Martin Liya people to continue going north, but also has another meaning. Although Sulu City is not big, it is the gateway to the north of the Holy Capital. Whoever controls Sulu City, It is equivalent to taking the initiative in and out of the Holy City. In other words, if Martin is now in control of Sulu City, Salon could only stare at the Li Ya Army under Sulu City. As for bypassing the urban and rural holy capital of Sulu and marching in, that was just a joke. Outside the Holy Capital was the main cavalry force of the Martin Li Ya Army. In the Holy Capital, On this flat terrain, even the imperial infantry that swept across northern Gaul did not dare to say that they could fight against the main force of Martin's army.

Because until now, Salon doesn't know how many Martin fangs he faces!

"Rumble"

A loud voice rang in the sky above his head. Salon raised his head in shock. A series of raindrops like broken beads hit his face. A soft and cold feeling came from his cheeks. Salon's face couldn't help but change. Raining at this time is definitely not a good thing for the Holy City, because the rain will Letting the Imperial heavy ballistae get wet and thus affecting its power. Although the situation in the Holy City is unclear, Salon can also guess that Hu Sa of the Templar Knights will not let go of the hundreds of Imperial heavy ballistas he left in the Holy Capital. He doesn’t use the ballista. Although he is an old-fashioned person on weekdays, he is absolutely unambiguous in the overall situation.

In the direction of the Holy Capital,

The cold rain seemed to directly clear the soul, causing the two sides fighting fiercely on the battlefield to stop involuntarily. It filled the field in front of them like broken beads, making the furious battlefield in front of them become even more blurry, stretching for several days. The area inside seemed to be covered with a layer of mist in an instant.

Martin Liya's generals looked silent. They really failed. The rain came at the wrong time. It was pouring heavily. It was difficult to even open your eyes by then, let alone storm the Holy City. This raid failed. The next time I'm afraid it won't be that easy

It's really because the Imperial heavy ballistae has such a fierce reputation. I don't know how many powerful Oparo troops were killed by the Imperial heavy ballistae. It's not that the heavy ballistae is so lethal, but that the heavy ballistae is powerful. Attacks can often blow people up and break them into pieces, which can cause a heavy blow to the morale of the surrounding troops.

Spike stood high and stared at the Holy City in front of him. He seemed to feel the fluctuations in the minds of the generals and lords. He waved his hand indifferently and glanced disdainfully at the corner of his mouth: "The empire has suppressed this southern hegemony." With such a heavy investment, in order to protect the Holy City, they will naturally do everything possible, but even if the Holy City has these imperial weapons, what can they do? Just take a few more breaths. When daybreak, our army's siege equipment is completed, and with hundreds of thousands of troops rolling into the city, even if the Holy City is a piece of iron, as long as no reinforcements arrive, we can definitely take it down within one day. "" Yes, as long as Reinforcements cannot arrive, and the Holy City cannot hold on for a day." Martin Liya's generals' faces perked up, so what if the Holy City possesses the imperial army's powerful weapon?

Spike was well prepared for the possibility of encountering the empire's big killer. In this battle for southern hegemony, except for the main force of Martin's army being stagnated in the Holy Capital, the other battles were all fast-paced and huge. The cavalry of Mu Tetsu Ryu rushes for thousands of miles or fights against each other. , as the Kingdom of Martinliya with the largest number of cavalry in Barro in southern Europe, it is being trampled by the imperial cavalry in its own land. This kind of shame, tonight, I want to let the empire also bear the feeling of being raided, the Holy Capital It is already in the bag. Unless the imperial army comes in person, the struggle will be in vain.

As the architect of the entire combat plan and the commander of the half-million Martinliya army, Spike was able to gain the support of everyone and make everyone willing to obey the command, creating the Martinliya Kingdom. For decades, the generals and lords of the three tribes A situation of unity is not just as simple as relying on a seemingly feasible plan.

No matter how good the plan is, someone must execute it. This raid was originally a jumping attack that bypassed the Acropolis. The level of risk was no less than dancing on the wire. Once the wire broke, it would be half a million Martin teeth. The life and death of the army,

Half a million Martin troops were divided into three echelons and resolutely entered the battlefield. Even if half of the troops were used to surround the three acropolis, the number of Martin Liya troops around the Holy City at this moment was nearly 250,000.

Among them, 150,000 troops attacked the Holy Capital, 60,000 troops were responsible for clearing the surrounding areas, and nearly 40,000 troops did not enter the battlefield, but were located on the left wing of the intruding troops. These were 40,000 powerful elite cavalry of the Il tribe. , and this is where Spike convinced all the generals and lords. If the imperial cavalry rescues the Holy City, then these 40,000 elite cavalry from the El tribe will attack immediately.

The Emperor himself is located in the north of the Holy Capital, and he is the one who truly makes Martin's Tooth Army feel fearful. In the first North-South War, it was the uncanny command of the cavalry of this military god emperor. If he grasped one point, he would kill 700,000 soldiers. The coalition forces were defeated, so what the generals and lords of the Martin Liya Army were most worried about was this. If the emperor seized the opportunity to use cavalry to attack the Holy City when the army was besieging the Holy City, then he would be attacked from both sides. What would he do?

If you want everyone to attack the Holy Capital with peace of mind, you must have a barrier that can withstand the imperial cavalry. However, this barrier cannot be used if the number of people is too small or if the combat power is too weak. It must be able to withstand the onslaught of the imperial army jumping over the wall. He is willing to risk his life to buy time for the army to retreat. In a sense, he is trading himself for the life and death of the entire Martin Army. Even if he does not die in the end, he will probably be crippled.

After capturing the Holy Capital, this army will not get any benefits. If the empire goes south, it will have to carry it to death. Who is willing to bear the responsibility? But without such a barrier, it was simply impossible for everyone to go all out to execute the plan. Spike finally sent his direct descendants to take on the most dangerous task, using 40,000 elite soldiers of the El tribe. The blood of the soldiers was used to build a barrier that ensured that if the attack was unfavorable, the armies could retreat along the original route. However, it was hard to say how many of the 40,000 cavalrymen responsible for blocking would be left!
