Power and Empire Chapter 3616: Dead Door (18)

Martin Liyajun decided to build a pontoon bridge to cross the river, and more than 100,000 people drove them. The tall tree trunks with their branches were dragged directly to the river bank, and seven or eight trunks as thick as thighs were tightly tied. At the same time, it is the embryonic form of the temporary floating bridge. The river in front of you is not narrow, but it is definitely not the size of a big river, that is, the width of 20 to 30 meters. If it is not exactly the season of winter invading bones, even this floating bridge is No need, the sturdy Martin Liya cavalry can swim across directly, so Spike has planned the raid route for so long, but he has never seen the river in front of him, which is absolutely inconspicuous on the map.

Lords Spike and Martin Liya, never thought that this river has become a dead line for more than one hundred thousand army

"Speed ​​up, don't care about stability and instability, as long as you can reach the opposite bank of the river"

"Don't lie on the ground and pretend to be dead, as long as you cross the river, you can lie down for as long as you want!"

"My lord, let's have a hot mouth first, otherwise I really won't be able to handle it"

"Stop kidding, how can I have time for food in this situation"

The officers of Martin Liya were red-eyed, riding a horse drawn back to motivate the soldiers. The provocative move of the Imperial Army greatly inspired the morale of the Martin Liya army that had already begun to sink, but The exhaustion of the human body cannot be concealed. Many Martin Liya soldiers have begun to panting, and many more are hungry, staggering and trembling cold. They were cut off from the back road, and the army has turned from the Holy Capital to the south line in an emergency until now. , A full ten hours have passed, running and fighting continuously, coupled with the cold winter, the Martin Liya army is relatively thinly dressed, many cavalry hung everything that can be wrapped on their bodies, still It’s a creak that can’t be suppressed by cold teeth. In winter, the human body is consumed quickly. Now it is cold and hungry. Hungry is even more hungry. Of course, these are commands for Martin Liya, who has become anxious because of the previous fiasco. In terms of layers, it’s basically ignored

"His Royal Highness, the pontoon is basically ready, I believe it can launch an attack soon, let's eat some food first!"

A lord Martin Liya came to Spike’s back, and placed a roasted golden horse leg on the plate respectfully behind Spike. The other lords were already beginning to grow up. They eat special food, and they are not soldiers. Although they are fighting in a large army, there are no more than a hundred guards around them, and the attendants who are in charge of daily meals on weekdays. It’s not their turn to endure the hardships of sleeping and eating.

"You have started to slaughter the horses?" Spike sighed a little helplessly, his eyes fell on the piece of horse meat, his face changed slightly, the Martin Liya people attached great importance to the horses, and Martin sharpened his teeth. People have always believed that wild horses are the best gift given by the prairie. It is strictly forbidden to slaughter wild horses in Martin Liya, let alone war horses.

"His Royal Highness, don't get me wrong!" The lord of the Yier tribe said with a shy face. "The dried meat that he carried was hung on the war horse and was blown by the wind for more than two days. It was so cold that it could break people's teeth. The war is about to come. What if you don’t have a bit of hot food to eat, and your Highness doesn’t need to care too much. This horse is no longer able to lose its strength. Instead of wasting food for the wolf, it’s better to let it have the honor to worship His Highness.”

"I hope so, after all, this is not in Martinria, and it is not unusual to slaughter horses because of the war. It's just that everyone knows that they haven't said it, so why bother yourself too much. If you can’t cross the river tonight, then that’s the big problem.” Hearing what the lord said, Spike smiled bitterly at the corner of his mouth. He sat down and took a piece of horse meat and stuffed it into his mouth. The smell of horse meat was hot and fragrant. In his mouth, it seems like it is about to melt. Spike feels that this is definitely the best food in his generation. He unconsciously looks at the other side of the river,

Under the shining of countless torches spread over the North Shore, the black imperial cavalry looked like lines after another, piece after piece of metal reflection, densely packed swords, as far as you can imagine, waiting for the army to start attacking the pontoon bridge , The opposing emperor team will definitely not look at this name, most of the opponents are archers, there will be a tragic event!

At four o'clock in the morning, the Martin Liya army began to gather. In the wet and cold second half of the night, rows of wooden pontoons appeared on the Martin Liya army. There were so many that even the Martin Liya people could not count it. Pike was riding on a war horse, his eyes fell on his army spread out on the front line. The horses and horses formed a rough sea. The spears with colorful ribbons could not see the end and the end for a while, the vast river beach. , The armies of the major lords and the messengers galloped back and forth. Some time ago, the Shengdu area encountered the rainy season and the winter, and there was a large amount of water from the northern coast area, which caused the river to rise, and the beaches on both sides were also invaded into puddles everywhere. In the wetland, one stepped on it, and there was a clattering sound. On the south bank of the river, countless imperial black-armored archers were standing on the opposite side. Their iron armors were washed away, and their blades were frosty. Below, I kept spitting out a long white breath

The armies of the major lords moved out across the board, and there was no reservation. Martin Liya cavalry all dismounted and fought, and temporarily adjusted 20,000 infantry into archers, crowded and lined up next to the riverbank and pontoon bridges. Thousands of shooters are also deployed in Muzha. Spike was covered with a white cloak and a black armor inside. He slowly raised his right hand under the eyes of everyone. The lords were also silent, with a strange light shining in their eyes.

"Master Pei Sulie!"

"I am here!"

"My lord is also invited to lead the Sixth Army as the main offensive force to try to attract the attention of the Imperial Archers, Spike said

"Yes, Your Highness!" The voice of Lord Martin Liya was almost solidified and heavy

"You don't have to be too reluctant, just attract. If the casualties are too heavy, you can decide to retreat." Spike nodded slightly towards him, the Lord Martin Liya stunned, and said quickly with excitement. In the cold night, the wind swept across the face like a knife, one by one Martin Liya team covered the front of the river beach, the military flags were rolling, and each queue held a wooden raft of amazing length. Under the eyes, Spike was tall and tall. With the saber out, with a swipe forward, the sword's edge is dazzling, "For Martin Liya, everyone moves forward!"

Martin Liya has a fascinating self-confidence about his absolute superiority in military strength, thinking that as long as he can cross the river at the fastest speed, all problems will be solved, but he is delayed here for an hour or two. , I am afraid that there will be other unforeseen changes. It is indeed that some of the tactics of the emperor’s army have been made big, and the prelude of the war has been kicked off.

"Team Forward""

Amidst the hoarse shouts, the soldiers of Martin Lifang boiled with enthusiasm, and a spirit of seeing death filled their hearts. There was a loud bang on the river beach, like a boulder falling from a mountain, and the Sixth Army The pontoon unit consisting of twenty team phalanxes rolled forward, and the front was shining with the metallic light of armored shields and long spears. Countless people held the pontoons and rushed straight into the river. The speed was as fast as a tsunami, unstoppable like an avalanche. A pair of feet stepped into the icy river water, these Martin Liya cavalry completely regarded themselves as infantry, put the shield on the front, and rushed forward,

"Let the arrow!"

The sky suddenly darkened, and from the opposite side came dense arrows like locusts. Even the iron shield was penetrated by clusters of arrows. Martin Li was shot by the rain of arrows and charged at the forefront. In the dense queue of the Ya troops, there was no time to scream, countless clusters of arrows hit the front, but in the face of the falling arrows, Martin Liya people still advanced, a large number of heavy shields stacked on top of the front, forming A metal wall nearly two meters high, the people behind quickly threw the braided pontoon into the water, and at the other end, seven or eight people pressed hard to prevent the wooden raft from being swept away by the torrent, but swayed. I leaned on the other side of the river
