Realm of Power

On the side of the river, black smoke was billowing, and the sound of fighting continued to be heard. A deathly silence enveloped the crowd. No one shouted or cried. The Martin Liya people just stared blankly at the Martin Liya who was torn apart by the Thor Cannon. In the Yamoto Formation, they watched the cavalry guards, who had high hopes, scattered in chaos after being hit hard, and their performance was not much better than theirs.

"What are the escort cavalry doing? Aren't they trying to break out of the encirclement with all their strength?"

In front of the Imperial Thunder God and the Imperial Army advancing from the north, the remaining soldiers of Martin's Tooth Army were injured, tired, worn out, and their clothes were in tatters, but their eyes still shone with arrogance, which was from the attack. The Wei Kingdom began to be invincible. For several months, it marched more than 2,000 miles north and conquered the south. Fang and Martin were almost conquered by two big countries with equal national power. Even though they were now facing a desperate situation and their bodies had not eaten for more than ten hours, their bodies were so weak that they could fall off their horses, but they were still there. Keep fighting, until this moment, they still can't believe the facts happening in front of them

"What else are you fighting for? The adults have all run away." A voice shouted. Martin Liya Cavalry seemed to have lost its soul. The long knife in his hand slipped from his fingers to the ground. Lian Jia, who was facing the Empire's heavy armored cavalry, just closed his eyes. Eyes covered

Just a dozen hours ago, they still firmly believed that they could seize the Holy Capital, that they could completely win the final victory of the second North-South war that had lasted for more than two months, that they could triumph in triumph, and that the Kingdom of Martin Liya would be conquered. Climb to an unprecedented peak and become the leader of the powerful Barrow nation in southern Europe. They have so many unparalleled powerful troops and prestigious kings. The brand army firmly believed that in the vast land of the Holy Capital, the Martin Liya Cavalry was unrivaled. However, in just two or three hours, right in front of them, the Martin they were proud of Li Ya's backbone was broken one by one, and the extremely brave legions were defeated one by one, trampled by the black armored heavy cavalry, and bombarded by the Imperial Thunder God.

But even so, they, ordinary Martin Liya soldiers, are still persisting. Those ignorant and simple ordinary Martin Liya soldiers firmly believe that their side has the absolute advantage in this battle, and the sudden attack on the Holy Capital from the front makes them even more confident about victory. Full of confidence, Martin Liya won the final victory in this battle, as naturally as the sun rising from the east.

Until now, thousands of defeated troops are rolling in, and even the cavalry guards have chosen to flee. They are watching their companions in front of them being submerged like a river by black armor, and watching the invincible legion in their hearts. They were defeated before their eyes, and the heroic soldiers were trampled and hacked to death. The Martin Liya soldiers were so angry that their chests felt like a ball of fire. Their anger was also filled with fear: Could it be that the hundreds of thousands of elite Martin Liya army main force, Did he really lose like this? Under the personal command of the heroic and capable Lord Spike, with so many outstanding generals and so many brave lords, Martin Liga, could it really be such a complete defeat?

They urgently needed answers. Now, they saw the answer. The army flags of our formation were fleeing southward in panic.

No matter how much the Martin Liya Army did not want to believe it, in the face of the three-dig-one tactic adopted by the imperial army when attacking the city, as the Imperial Infantry Corps disembarked in the north, they began to use long-range crossbows to kill the chaotic Martin Liya cavalry on a large scale. , the persistence of the Martinliya lords in this battle completely collapsed. At first, one lord began to flee south, and then it affected other lords. If the Martinliya people once regarded themselves as the sun that saved the southern European Barro , and now the sun has gone out.

"Everyone, run for your lives, we are surrounded!"

"Run quickly, the adults are all running away." In this dark and chaotic night, everything was in chaos. The officers could not find the soldiers, and the soldiers could not find the officers. The defeat of Martin Li Ya's army was like the collapse of a river. tidy. Squeezed from three sides, the defeated troops fled in large numbers towards the downstream direction. Tens of thousands of people collapsed, and a catastrophe was imminent. Who could care about other people's affairs? In the chaotic flow of people, a Martin toothed war horse let out a long neigh, and its front legs were fierce. He knelt on the ground, spitting out white foam from his mouth, and fell headlong. This was a sign that his horsepower had been completely exhausted. After several hours of fierce fighting, more than ten hours of running around, it had become the last step to crush the combat effectiveness of Martin Liya. root straw

As the first war horse lost strength and fell to the ground, like a chain reaction, more horses continued to fall to the ground.

"Pa"

They fled in droves, and people and horses were crowded together. I don’t know how many people were trampled to death and injured. In order to run faster, Martin Liya’s cavalry drove the horses with all their strength. The final result was often like this. The horses lost their strength, and Martin Liya was even more injured. The situation of the army is even worse. However, the distance is only four or five miles. Martin's Liya war horse already lacks endurance, and now it is even more difficult. Countless people fell to the ground. Nearly half of the Martin Liya people had turned into pure infantry. The Martin Liya cavalrymen who were thrown off their backs by their horses were everywhere. They were bleeding profusely, but no one stopped. Give them a helping hand, there is really no way to save them, everyone is exhausted, the troops and horses can no longer support them, no matter how you save them, you can't save them!

The collapse of an army of more than 100,000 people, the battle in which combat effectiveness and fighting will were completely destroyed, and the escape of the command group were not only a physical blow to them, but also a heavy psychological blow! This road back to the south is like a nightmare. "I can't run anymore, stop running, just die, it's all death anyway, die early!" Martin Sharptooth panted, lying on the ground like a chopped down log. , with their faces turned upward and pale, staring at the white sky with round, lightless eyes. The imperial cavalry slowly coming from behind slashed them one by one. Even if they could be saved, they could not be saved. It's better to be happy,

"Crash" is like the congested water being cleared at once. The heavy bow of the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship split open the floating corpses blocking the river in front, and the Imperial fleet moved down the river.

"If there are no other changes, there is no need to wake me up. I want to take a good rest."

The emperor opened his mouth and yawned, withdrew his stern eyes from the river, stretched out his hand to Salton, and then walked to the cabin behind to catch up on his sleep. This battle, although it was only a few hours of fighting, But it took several months of preparation, in order to realize the strategy of luring out the elite of Martin's army. For strategic purposes, they even fought fiercely on the Western Front for more than a month before they temporarily changed the main force of Martin's army. They transferred Silver Fox, who had been unwilling to step into the trap, and let Spike, who was in urgent need of performance, take the stage. As expected, Spike Living up to his expectations, a raid on the Holy City finally got into this big net.

close the net, ambush, block

In the end, he closed the door and completely locked up the most elite cavalry group of hundreds of thousands of Martin Li Ya army here. Every step here, any careless step may lead to the loss of the whole game. Finally, he finally closed this door. The Taoist net has been restrained. I am afraid only the emperor himself knows how many brain cells were damaged.

Last night alone, the emperor stood on the bow of the ship with the cold wind blowing in his face, the whole night. The emperor is also a human being. Staying up all night in such a cold weather is very harmful to the body.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Salton's expression was filled with unparalleled admiration. In his heart, he could only surrender. This battle really made this famous Nord general feel like a miracle. Standing on the bow of the Imperial Dragon Fang battleship, he simply Wherever Dun looked, he was even more moved. This battle Although the actual battle only lasted just over two hours, it was extremely brutal. Even though Salton watched the whole process, he did not understand that the emperor used an infantry group to kill an enemy that was nearly twice as many as himself on this flat land. How did the cavalry group do it?

The empire's black-armored cavalry were sweeping along the river. No matter on the north or south banks of the river, there were countless military flags of various armies discarded along the way. The patterns on the flags were various and colorful. Birds, lions, iron walls, and giant elephants, which embodies the most glorious and proud symbols in the history of Martin Liya, are now all thrown like garbage on the riverbank that has been stained red with blood. The end is terrifying as far as the eye can see. The battlefield, the piles of corpses, the broken spears inserted on the battlefield, the area where the fiercest battle broke out last night, the area passed by the Empire's heavy armored cavalry, the remains of the corpses, broken limbs, and the protruding hands, The feet are like flags planted on them.

On this bloody battlefield, corpses were piled up as far as the eye could see. Even the rising sun was stained with a layer of blood red by the battlefield, rising slowly. In the bright light of the morning light, one can clearly see that stretching along the river, there are broken spears, machetes and heavy swords everywhere, as well as human and horse corpses lying in the shallows of the water and turning white.

Many Martin Liya people died, and even more Martin Liya people surrendered.

Along the way, the imperial cavalry could be seen constantly collecting Martin Liya prisoners. There was a long string, at least ten or twenty thousand in number. The only regret is that there are not many important generals and nobles among them. Lord Martin Liya fled downstream under the desperate protection of the escort cavalry. This elite force, which was regarded as the last resort by the Martin Liya people, indeed lived up to his expectations. In the name of guard, the other Martin Liya cavalry have collapsed and are either fleeing or rebelling. After the resistance, they chose to surrender, but these cavalry guards with long white tails on their helmets were still resisting in an orderly manner under almost complete desperation. Every time the imperial cavalry approached, these cavalry guards would come forward without hesitation and fight with the empire. The cavalry slashed at them with swords, and soon they were killed by the imperial cavalry because they were outnumbered.

"If the Martin Liga people knew what was downstream, I'm afraid they wouldn't continue to make unnecessary sacrifices like this."

Salton took a deep breath with flashing eyes. The emperor ordered Salon's 50,000 Southwest Army to cut off the lower reaches. Moreover, when Salon's Southwest Army passed by the Holy Capital in the south, they also took the goods that the original empire had hoarded in the Holy Capital. A large number of heavy crossbow vehicles were also brought downstream for deployment. Under such circumstances, even if Martin's sharp teeth The main force of the army did not suffer a disastrous defeat. If you want to forcefully break through the downstream obstruction, you have to pay a considerable price. What's more, now that the main force of Martin's army has been defeated across the board, everyone is already in panic. Facing the powerful killing of the empire's heavy ballistae, can they still How much courage do you have to break through the death line set by the emperor himself?

The early morning light finally began to show white on the horizon, and a large area of ​​Martin's Tooth Army began to appear in the distance. It was a black line at first, and then turned into a large area. As the distance got closer, everyone could see that Martin The opponent who was wrong with the Li Ya army, the fierce Martin Li Ya people in the past, was now in chaos and disarray. , and what really made the Temple officers hold their breaths was that each of these Martin Liya people was stumbling. There were only a small number of cavalry, and more of them were walking. How could this be possible, breaking into the Holy Temple? Yes, but the hundreds of thousands of elite cavalrymen have become infantry now. Where are the horses? Moreover, each of them was pale and their feet were shaking. They looked as if they had just been trained to run back and forth for fifty miles. They were not dead yet, but they were almost dead from exhaustion. This made the temple officer's heart explode. , it’s really shocking

"Oh my God, what happened to the Martin Liya people?"

"Did the empire really defeat the main force of Martin's Liya army returning southward in the upper reaches!" The officers of the Holy City couldn't help but look at each other, showing a hint of shock. They thought it was a joke before, but now they realized that they were the joke. , the hundreds of thousands of Martin Liya cavalry groups that were considered invincible actually moved downstream, and they seemed to be running for their lives.

How is this possible! The pupils of the old Templar Commander Hu Sa suddenly tightened, and his face couldn't help but change. Then he fell behind the bald, one-eyed man in front of him who was wearing heavy armor like an iron tower. The strong man was naturally the governor of the southwest region of the empire. Salon, behind Salon, dozens of Imperial heavy ballistae lined up in a line began to adjust their shooting schedule.

Hu Sa couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart. He couldn't help but glance at his mouth. The empire didn't leave any chance for the Martin Liya people!

"Get ready, wind up!"

Every ten Imperial heavy ballistas are equipped with an officer, wearing the black Imperial officer uniform. Like nails poking in front of the crossbow machine array.

The large number of Martin Liya people emerging in the distance did not trouble the imperial soldiers operating the heavy ballistae. They skillfully and quickly pressed the sharp arrows into the heavy ballistae one by one and used special steel tongs to force them. The machine strings were pulled open, and a harsh sound of machine string steel wires could be heard. Loud commands sounded from all over the position from time to time: "The first squadron is ready!"

"Second Squadron is ready!"

"The Eighth Squadron is ready!"

"Lord Qi, all sixty-nine heavy crossbow crews are ready!" An imperial officer respectfully reported to Salon.

The Martin Liya people in the distance had stopped. Under the golden morning light, a Martin Liya royal flag fluttered lonely in the wind. The stopped Martin Liya people silently gathered under this flag. Foolishly and dreamily, I looked up at the flag above my head. The fluttering flag attracted them like a magnet attracting iron powder. More and more people gathered, and they gathered together densely. Under the Martin Li Ya King's flag, the young commander wrapped in gauze immediately stopped. Spike's eyes were red, and he looked at the escort cavalry in front of him. A burst of sadness came to his heart. The soldier was tired and weak, his armor was broken, and his face was weak. His face was as pale as death. They just breathed more than the dead, but the moment they saw the king's flag, they still clenched their weapons without hesitation. "Your Highness! This subordinate has neglected his duty and may not be able to continue to protect His Highness." The commander of the escort cavalry looked at Si Parker "You are my Martin Riya" The best warrior, I am proud of you!" Spike felt a pain in his heart, took a deep breath and nodded, the escort cavalry, in the history of the Martin Liya people, there are only escort cavalry who died in battle, and never surrendered. Cavalry Guard "Cavalry Guard, follow me"

The commander of the escort cavalry turned around and raised the long sword in his hand. There were about three to four thousand escort cavalry who had gathered. In front of them was a sniper attack composed of Salon's 50,000 Southwest Legion and the Empire's heavy ballistae. line, but these escort cavalry rushed forward without fear. They knew very well that it was impossible for them to rush to the imperial position, and the empire would not even leave them a chance for a final hand-to-hand battle. They couldn't fight bloody battles, couldn't fall to the ground with the enemy in the fierce fighting, they could only fall down powerlessly in front of those whizzing and screaming flying irons, but no one hesitated, and no one was timid. To protect the cavalry, you are willing to die!
