Realm of Power

"Kill!" The Aden army came madly, with countless swords and guns flashing, and people like a frenzy. Under the city, corpses piled up like mountains, and blood flowed like rivers. The air was filled with the sound of bowstrings vibrating like the fluttering wings of wasps, and an overwhelming number of feathered arrows and arrows were scattered. The Aden people were covered with corpses, stretching towards the city wall. The trench, which was neither wide nor deep, was filled with flesh and blood, and the wounded were still wailing and struggling.

"Kill!" From a high position, the heavy steel spear of the Imperial Army on the top of the city was pointed at the Aden people who climbed up. It was Monza. The shield sawdust suddenly flew everywhere, and the shield covered with blood was stabbed to reveal the white. Wooden stubble, with blood shining into the sky, flew high, and the Aden people who were shot fell from the top of the city, screaming in agony. There were corpses on the first, second, and third floors below... The ears were ringing, and there were screams and curses everywhere.

The people of Aden shouted "Long live Aden" and the imperial army responded "I want you to die!"

Then came the crash of weapons, sparks flying, the groans of the wounded,

Kill, kill, kill, the empire's heavy armored infantry crowded the city top. The first column used all their spears, and immediately someone shouted at the top of their lungs, "Change the column, change the column!" On top of the spears in the back row, Although the Imperial Army is inferior in numbers, the iron defense line composed of heavy armored infantry will kill you or me with one shot. The feet are greasy and full of human blood, and the thick smell of blood is pungent.

The Imperial Minister of Affairs Hu Keqili stood in the strong wind, his eyes sternly looking at the crowds of people in Aden like ants in front of the city wall. Tens of thousands of Aden troops swarmed up, like mountains and seas. If it weren't for Persad, he would be able to be defeated. The area of ​​​​climbing the city is only three to four hundred meters. With tens of thousands of people swarming up, the shortcoming of the Imperial Army's insufficient strength is enough to cause the battle line to collapse.

But now, Persad is still as stable as a rock.

As the number one person on the imperial side, Hu Keqili has followed the Emperor of War from the beginning of his rise to power. He has experienced more than a hundred battles and captured more than a thousand places. The brutality of the siege battle, once it spread to the plundering of the city wall area, was basically filled with human lives, and the walls of Persad were not It is not high, but under the reinforcement of the Imperial Army, some sections of the city have turned into bottomless pits dedicated to devouring the opponent's troops. Just like the several hundred meters of city wall in front of them, the Aden people think that having more people is an advantage, but they Forget that the attack power in a siege battle is determined by the number of troops that can be invested in a specific area at one time

The Imperial Thunder God's random bombings that seemed to waste ammunition were actually intended to cause the Aden army to be out of touch. Sure enough, the Aden army, which was advancing steadily at first, quickly turned into a chaotic swarm in order to reduce casualties. And up

There is no doubt that the heavy armored infantry of the Aden people were left behind by their own people. The Aden army that ran the fastest and was best able to climb to Persad first must be the most mobile light assault infantry among the Aden offensive forces. , a head-on confrontation in a small space, there is no trickery at all, it is a exchange of blood with your sword and my sword.

The ferocious long and heavy weapons of the imperial heavy armored infantry were smashed down together, including flails, heavy guns, long-handled battle axes, and even long-handled maces. An Aden officer yelled and rushed forward to make the first batch. The "glorious troops" who boarded the city were all beaten to a pulp. The light armor of the Aden assault troops was torn to pieces like brittle paper. The Aden people who had just climbed to the top of the city were crushed to pieces.

The spears were broken, the blades were blunted, and the daggers were broken. The imperial heavy armored infantry on the opposite side was cut like a hedgehog all over their bodies, and they could still smile and kill the Aden people who climbed up with their heavy battle axes while they were covered in blood. They were pushed down from the city wall in piles. Even the people of Aden, who had high morale, faced this crazy counterattack and saw these imperial spears wearing heavy armor like demons. They were all chilled and heartbroken. These imperials Soldiers are not human beings! It's a fierce demon!

The people who collapsed in front and the mountains of corpses under the city were under the city. Under the city of Persad, the messengers rushed back and forth to report to him one after another.

"The 15th local army is up!"

"The Rosia Province Guard Corps is up!"

"More than half of the garrison of Setero Province was lost in battle, please stand down!"

"Lord Snarling calls for reinforcements!

The fighting was particularly intense. The fierce fighting caused the vision of those inside to be extremely narrowed. The withdrawn troops gathered again, ready to respond to the attack in front of them at any time, even one horse long. Everyone seemed to feel the brutality of the fighting. It was spitting out white air in the cold rain and kept neighing loudly! Everyone's eyes turned to Toblas, who was standing alone in front of him.

In the pouring rain, the Aden army along the attack line was like the tide hitting the dam, turning into pieces piece by piece. On the battlefield, too many corpses of men and horses had been piled up. On the originally muddy and wet ground, all Puddle after puddle of red water formed. The generals of Aden, who originally had the advantage in military strength, expected to invest their own forces one after another. Stabilize the array, make up for the losses, and always maintain the attack pressure on the city of Bosad. Even if the Imperial Army is made of steel, it will inevitably be strangled layer by layer, until the Imperial Army can no longer fight. Unable to hold on, he finally collapsed!

But the actual situation is that the massive investment of troops was blocked because the terrain could not expand.

The troops that collapsed in front and the troops that surged up from behind were squeezed together, and all the formations were in chaos.

From a distance, one can also see the imperial ballistae sweeping down below on the top of the city of Bassad.

Toblas has always been known for his decisiveness. He is calm and realistic on the battlefield. In the battle formation, he is decisive and decisive without any sloppiness. But now, he has lost this calmness. Looking at the fierce battle at the top of the city, Tobras's hands were trembling slightly. There were too many dead people. The battle had been fierce for two hours. He originally thought that the city had been broken and looked back. Now he found that The top of the city was like a bottomless pit, swallowing up teams one after another. Countless elite soldiers and generals just disappeared, but the imperial eagle flag on the top of Persad City still remained. The old majestic fluttering, his troops paid a huge price and sacrifice, but at the end they found that the heavy armored infantry of the Fourth Army, which was the main force in the attack, could not get up. The slower heavy armored infantry ran to Bossard out of breath. When we got to the city, the front was already blocked. Earthen bags and corpses were mixed together, covered in blood, and it was no longer clear whether they were human beings or soil. Stacked like a mountain, the earth bags and corpses were piled up layer by layer, already as tall as a person!

Strictly speaking, this was the first official battle between the Aden army and the imperial army. The 80,000 Aden regular troops were seriously injured and the formation was in chaos. The chaotic hedgehogs gathered behind them again, fighting for their last bit of strength. What has supported them in their hard work until now is the fact that victory is in sight. There is really no reason why they cannot defeat 80,000 people against 20,000 people. The Imperial Army is made of men, not steel.

From the fierce fighting in the morning to the afternoon, Toblas readjusted the order of the attack, each time launching with a scale of 20,000 people. The heavy equipment of the Imperial Army finally stopped attacking. The Aden soldiers who came forward were all numb, and countless corpses were piled on top of each other. In a narrow area of ​​just over 300 meters long and wide, there were bloody blows, fierce collisions of more than 100,000 people, and a life-and-death fight. The front of the Aden army rushed to the wall of Bassad a total of eleven times, but was driven away without exception. Come down, Toblas himself doesn’t know whether he can come down the twelfth time.

At this moment. The most important thing to do is to withdraw the troops to recuperate and wait until tomorrow to fight again. But now the Aden army has reached the end of its battle and is extremely exhausted. Tobras suspects that if an order is given to retreat at this time, the most likely outcome is that the whole army will respond to the attack. They completely lost confidence in conquering Persad, and the army lost their fighting spirit. There was no need to fight this battle.

"Look, what is that?" Suddenly someone shouted, and in an instant, as if an invisible sharp knife suddenly cut down, the advancing queue of the Aden army stopped, and an Aden general wearing a colorful feather looked even more expressionless. Hesitantly broke the silence and shouted sharply, "The whole army retreats immediately!"

More Aden troops turned their heads and looked to the side in astonishment. In the white smoke-like rain curtain, a black line was rapidly lengthening and expanding at an alarming speed. Soon, the black line turned into a sight. The endless black ocean is a sea of ​​people. I don’t know how many people are rushing towards the side of the Aden Army.

"Attention, a large number of rebellious slaves are approaching from the northeast!"

"A large number of rebellious slaves were found in the northwest!"

"To the east, a large number of rebel slaves were also found approaching from the east!" The Aden scout cavalry rushed out of the rain curtain in a hurry, and fell off before the horse could stop.

"Are we surrounded?" The surrounding Aden soldiers were even more commotion.

Under normal circumstances, of course they would not be afraid of any rebellious slaves, but now, the army is exhausted, and the morale of all armies has suffered a heavy blow. Seeing thousands of rebellious slaves pouring in from the other three directions, the area It was as shocking as the crowd covering the entire earth. Even the generals of Aden were ashen-faced. "The whole army immediately moved closer to the Fourth Army and fought out!" Tobras's face was ashen and his eyes were bloodshot and he shouted.

Persad is a trap! It's ridiculous that I thought that the advantage was always on my side, but I didn't expect that the empire would have such a back-up plan!

It is impossible for the rebel slaves to gather suddenly, and at such a moment, it must be the empire's layout. The empire's commander in Bossard would not hesitate to drag himself into a bitter battle, so he would definitely not just use these rebel slaves to scare him. He is so simple. Although he did not participate in suppressing the rebellious slaves, he also knows that the number of rebellious slaves currently reaches hundreds of thousands, and those in front of him, even if they are only one hundred thousand, are enough to overwhelm his side.

The most serious thing is that Toblas knows that the hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands are already the last heavy army group in Aden. Once they are overwhelmed and dispersed in Besad, the Kingdom of Aden will be difficult to have any more troops in a short time. No force can stop the Imperial Army's attack!

Being able to get people out is a victory! Toblas no longer dares to have any extravagant hopes
