Realm of Power

"Rumble" A bright lightning flashed across the dark night sky, and the rain hit the ground under the horse's hooves, making crisp sounds.

"Sir, you can confirm that we have been bitten." The rain hitting the metal scales was like a piece of white mist dispersing. Amidst the rapid sound of horse hooves, the imperial scout cavalry in light armor rushed to the commander of the Third Banner of the Imperial Guards. Brother Shu reined in the horse violently in front of him. Brother Shu's eyes were sharp and the corner of his mouth curled slightly. The people of Aden had really spent a lot of money this time. Taking advantage of the unexpected wind and rain, they rushed forward like hungry wolves.

After a short period of contact, the opponent's number of troops has been roughly figured out. There are more than 24,000 people, including more than 10,000 cavalry. They will definitely crush the Third Banner of the Guards, which has only 5,000 people. Strength, the Aden people think highly of themselves. There are 24,000 elites. If they don't chase themselves, but invest in the direction of Persad, I believe that even the well-prepared Lord Hu Keqili may not be able to withstand it.

It’s okay to come!

It’s time to come!

Brother Shu stared at the hilly sideline in the hazy rain. Even if it was an iron-clad army, it was still composed of people. It can be seen from the armor on the corpses of hundreds of Aden cavalry killed in the previous confrontation. The armor of this Aden army The rate must be very high. In this era, the rate of armor equipment often represents a The eliteness of combat troops, just like the Imperial Army, often achieves brilliant results in defeating superior enemies with inferior forces, is closely related to the high armor rate of the Imperial Army, and the Empire's heavy armored infantry and heavy cavalry are even more important. Known as a meat grinder on the battlefield, it is a force that will frighten any enemy of the empire.

High armor coverage will definitely affect combat effectiveness.

The opponent has a considerable number of cavalry units, which are tenacious in combat, skilled in riding skills, and have high armor coverage. The sophistication of this unit is definitely one of the best among the Aden army.

But Brother Shu is not worried. In his eyes, this is a tired army, or a group of heavily armored soldiers. Can it run in such mud?

A sinister smile appeared on Brother Shu's lips. The situation in front of him reminded him of some similar scenes in the past. When the Dongting cavalry went south to attack Ruildian, what they encountered were Ruildian's heavy armored cavalry. At that time, Brother Shu was already a A commander of ten thousand cavalry, when he went south to Ruierdian, he had defeated Ruierdian's heavy armored cavalry. Brother Shu was very familiar with the weaknesses of heavy armored troops, and now The Dongting cavalry who came with him the first time had one horse and three quivers, each with twenty arrow clusters. Two quivers were long-stemmed light arrows with ordinary feathers. They were mainly aimed at targets with light armor or no armor. There was also another quiver. It is the Mitsubishi heavy arrow forged by the Imperial Army. The steel-forged heavy arrow is twice as heavy as the ordinary arrow cluster, and the range is shortened to fifty meters. The actual launch distance is generally within thirty meters.

To shoot a heavy arrow, you have to hold the opponent's head and loosen the bow string. Even double heavy armor may not be able to block such a close shot. If it is during the day, shooting at such a close distance will inevitably lead to a fierce counterattack by the opponent. , but it’s night now, a night of heavy rain, a night of mud on the ground.

If the original difficulty was eighty, then it is now only twenty. And for the remaining twenty difficulty, Brother Shu has already given himself considerable protection, that is, the river in front of him is not that wide. The rapids of the river hit each other, and the power of the river was even more powerful in the pouring rain. Even when the water rose, the width of this river was not more than thirty meters. Such a river channel would not have much effect, but it could slow down the direct charge of the opponent's cavalry. Enter,

Immediately reach the river, Brother Shu is waiting,

The shiny ground washed by rain is like a solidified statue-like figure,

The opponent had the advantage in terms of strength, but we were not without merit. The opponent obviously swooped in from the hinterland of the Gulf of Aden in one go. After marching for several days, they immediately attacked him after finding his whereabouts. It was inevitable that the army would be exhausted. And the rain in front of me, It rained at the right time, which made it impossible for the opponent to even make short-term repairs. If the opponent did not want to be soaked by the rain, then the opponent's best choice was to launch a full-scale attack on themselves tonight, otherwise the morale of the army would be ruined. It will inevitably decline rapidly,

In order to bite him and find the perfect opportunity to defeat him in a battle, the opponent pursued him tirelessly. Seeing that the duck was right next to his mouth, he would definitely not let him fly away. And the opponent's confident military advantage, It will make the opponent naturally ignore the weakening of this river. There are 24,000 people, a force of nearly five to one. If it were him, he would also directly press forward with a wave of his hand.

In the face of absolute power, what tactics and considerations are needed? Just overwhelm them. As long as you overwhelm them, the opponent will be finished.

What to do if we can’t win, or what to do if the other party forces us through? What else can I do? Just run. I am a light cavalry. If I don’t run, I will die! Only with the blessing of an inconspicuous river, he was able to defeat 24,000 Aden elites with 5,000 cavalry, and wiped out the enemy army with just a small river. That was His Majesty the Falcon Emperor, not himself.

Brother Shu is very clear about his position. I am a cavalry archer. There is no need for me to fight with the opponent!

The sound of the river rushing and impacting, the sound of rain falling on armor, the military flags standing in the rain, and even being wrapped around the flagpole after being soaked through, the rows of imperial horse archers were silent and solemn, letting the cold rain hit them. On the face, water dripped along the gaps in the armor, forming a muddy pool under the horse's hooves.

"Huhuhu" white mist sprayed out from the nose of the war horse, which seemed to be a little unbearable in the solemn atmosphere before the battle. The horse's hooves scratched the ground dissatisfied, huh huh huh, in silence, there was only heavy rain pouring down,

"People from Aden are so slow." Brother Shu took a deep breath.

"Rumble" silver light flashed, and the roaring sound of thunder was like a series of unstable bubble explosions. A black line began to emerge from the mound in the distance, and then more black shadows layered on top of each other. emerged, and in the rain, dense dull sounds sounded like drums, and the Aden cavalry appeared, a bright scene The white color flashed away in the rain. It was the flash of armor. Just as Shu Ge expected, the armor rate of these Aden cavalry is really high, and they are all polished and shiny metal plate armor. These Aden cavalry The cavalry should be the vanguard of the entire brigade. They did not notice the opponents standing silently in the darkness in the distance. They were approaching in groups from the south road across the mountains.

"Rumble"

The war horses flew through the mud and low grass and shrubs on the ground. Under the horses' hooves, the bushes rolled up and made a whining sound. It seemed that there were only rhythmic roars left in the world. These Aden cavalry clenched their teeth. For a whole day behind the Third Banner of the Guards, the scouts from both sides clashed several times, all of which ended with the retreat of the Aden scouts.

The scout war means nothing, but the imperial scouts piled the heads of the war dead together and built them up in Beijing like a demonstration, but it made the eyes of the men in Aden full of blood. This was a humiliation and a provocation. Already aware of his arrival, he did not run away like a bereaved dog. Instead, he built a temple with the heads of the war dead.

The Empire is fond of fortifying the capital, which has long become a symbolic method for the Imperial Army to express contempt for the enemy, because the entire European continent knows that the Empire built a capital in the Bavaria Heights with three The heads of one hundred thousand Feishan elites were collected from King Feishan and his 69 generals and 376 captains. Their heads stood like a monument of flesh and blood for two full years in the perennially cold ice and snow of Bavaria. When the emperor was angry, 300,000 heads fell to the ground. It was a humiliation for the entire Feishan region, and it was also The empire established its absolute rule over the Feishan region, and the fierce flames of the empire made the entire Obaro tremble.

But that's Feishan, not Aden

The people of Aden would not accept such humiliation, let alone the Second Aden Army, one of the two armies of the royal capital.

"Seize the opponent's commander, and I will also use the imperial heads to build a temple, standing on the side of this beautiful Rables River." The commander of Aden's Second Army, Ramrekla, stopped his horse and looked at the river ahead. , the target stopped, Ramrek's eyes were quite playful,

"Pass the order, cavalry, infantry, and light infantry advance in three lines."

Ramdorek's eyes narrowed into a thin line as the rain hit his face. The rainwater flowed down his eyebrows and onto his cheeks. The other party actually chose to face him in the heavy rain. In addition to being courageous, it can also be said to be stupid. He found out Already? No more running? Sure enough, the Imperial Army has always been arrogant. They actually think that a small river can block their attack, and treat themselves as idiots like Martin Sharptooths!

The advantage of having more people is that you can divide your troops. Even if you divide your troops into three parts, any part will still have more troops than the other party. The other party will soon know what a stupid decision it is to use the river to bless you. The river is so Long, the terrain is not suitable for defense. As long as the river stretches, it will be a breakthrough. When the opponent is at a disadvantage in terms of strength, he does not choose a terrain that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but instead chooses a river that may be a breakthrough everywhere.

As long as there is a position that is breached by you, you can launch a pincer attack.

Not to mention, on this rainy night, the hoofs of the war horses will sink into the mud, and the opponent's impact and mobility will inevitably be affected. The opponent is an idiot, and actually chose such a decisive battle location and The environment of the decisive battle. The corners of Ramdorek's mouth turned up slightly. The balance of victory finally tilted towards him. He didn't take the risk and just took a bite.

The other party regards themselves as the miscellaneous local troops they encountered earlier. Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain why the other party chose to fight here. If it were you, you should choose a wide place. The river in front of you is a barrier. It's also a drag,

"Rumble" the silver light danced wildly, like a huge spider web that suddenly flashed up and then disappeared.

Ramdorek's face turned grim again, and victory was close at hand.

Aden ordered the cavalry to take out a specially restrained long horn from his waist, put it in his mouth and blew it hard. The long tune was like a long and exciting sound coming from the long horn in his hand. The penetrating rain curtain makes people's eardrums hurt, but it also makes people's blood boil, just like the mountains are towering and the earth is vast.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Woo woo woo...

"Woo woo... resonant, countless similar horn sounds, continuous and exciting, the Aden army began to divide into three groups, and black lines were squirming. These black lines will soon cover the area next to the river. Full, the sound of heavy marching footsteps came, countless feet were raised at the same time, and at the same time Put down, the muddy ground splashes and breaks under the feet of countless pairs of feet, or is stepped deeply into the ground. The rain in the sky hits the shoulders of the Aden soldiers, like a large white flower blooming, with countless thorns. The guns stood brightly in the rain, like patches of forest, shining brightly under the cold rain.

After the cavalry came the Aden infantry groups, which continued to move in from a distance. The so-called river with a width of 30 meters was like a small river that could be filled in at any time. Stream, so many people, the light-colored armor of the Aden Second Army showed the coldness of metal in the heavy rain curtain,

Twenty-four thousand people, tight and orderly

"Three lines advance, cavalry, infantry, light infantry, three lines forward."

Loud shouts swayed in all directions, and the cavalry conveying the order ran past in front of rows of solemn queues. Under the gaze of countless pairs of bloodshot eyes, the horses' hooves splashed in the hazy white rain. Marked circle, the target is in front, rush over and kill them all! Amidst all kinds of low shouts, there were crowds of people. They secretly drove out from the capital of Aden and rushed towards them in a fierce and windy way. I heard that it was these imperial cavalry who massacred a large number of Aden nobles. I heard that it was these imperial cavalry that made the south Caught in the chaos of the slave rebellion, as long as these imperial cavalry are killed, the rebellion in the south will be quelled, and the southern army will smash the invading imperial army into pieces in Bessad.

"Everyone move forward!" An Aden officer pulled out his sword, and countless crowds of people moved forward like a bursting embankment. Like black covering the sky and the earth, with arrogant momentum, they stepped into the people in front of them one by one. In the river water, a large amount of frost-like water vapor splashed,

"Yeah!" There was a trembling sound in the air, and countless luminous white threads came out of the rain curtain, mixed with the raindrops falling from the sky, like a flash of light that suddenly appeared from the ground and went straight to the sky, and then in White arcs were drawn from high places and fell into the crowd of Aden people stepping into the river. Those who were hit by the arrows screamed in agony.

The sound of bones cracking caused by arrow clusters made a creepy crunching sound. The sound of sharp bloody arrows piercing the back of a person's head was like the sound of breaking a solid shell. The lifeless corpse was swept downstream by the current. , piece by piece, like black spots rising and falling on the water.

Bright red floats on the water like a thick layer of oil
