Power and Empire Chapter 3830: The death knell of Aden (4)

At the head of Bursad, arrows are like rain

The fourth army of Aden has more than 20,000 troops spread out, facing a Bossard with a width of three to four hundred meters. The line is neat, row after row of archers, long axes, and lances. , Tall and strong, armor from the neck. As soon as the legs cover below the knees, even the wind blowing there has a **** smell, the whole array seems to be a huge slot,

Facing the rain-splashing arrows of the imperial defenders above the city, the five thousand front team of Aden's Fourth Army moved forward like a tide. The heavy-armored Aden heavy infantry used huge large tower shields like door panels. The "ahhh" round sling on the head roared from the city wall and rolled into the Aden soldiers below, like a road roller, a **** deep scar was pressed out of the dense crowd. As the bowstrings loosened by countless imperial archers brought a flashing arrow with cold light, it hit the tower shield below, making a crisp sound like a torrential rain, heavy infantry covering the wall, heads surging, shouting like a tide

No matter how strong the emperor team is, there are only three thousand people!

The fourth army commander of Aden, Toblas, was riding on his horse with a cold expression. The cool morning breeze in September caused a long blue ribbon on the top of his helmet to flutter, following his gaze as if The Fourth Army spread out like a huge half moon. The line of attack formed by a line of formation was like a red waterline waiting in the sun, and the entire attack array was like a huge arc. The iron armor is clenched, and a white light is reflected in the morning light. A breeze gently lifts the Aden Army's star and moon battle flag, the whistling sound of the streamer, and the suffocating smell of killing in the silent air. The army destroys the city!

"The whole team goes forward!"

"Stay steady, pay attention to the queue"

The sound of the arrows one after another, countless clusters of arrows are like waves hitting a stone, exploding countless reds on the attack line of the Fourth Army of Aden. It is the color of blood. The attacking troops of the Fourth Army of Aden are in the arrows. Moving forward in silence in the cluster, no matter how many arrows are shot on the head, no matter how many companions fall on the way forward, it is like a steady forward iron current, which does not start to accelerate until fifty meters, a block of thick steel made of square shields. The wall eventually turned into an unstoppable torrent of steel, crashing crazily under the wall of Bersad, rows of wooden ladders were erected, and pressed heavily against the moss-covered crevices of the walls.

"Kill, rush forward!"

Soldiers of the Fourth Army of Aden climbed the walls of Berthard densely like ants full of huge sugar cubes, holding tower shields along the long ladder, wearing excellent and unusual heavy armor, and the weapons in their hands. A heavy weapon such as a flail hammer, which fought in close combat, just showed a head at the crevice of the city wall. The imperial spear from above was stabbed like a forest.

Ah! Amid the screams, the **** body fell from a height

The companions who climbed the wall behind didn’t even look at it, but with red eyes and shields, they continued to move up. The most tragic place of the siege was in the battle for the crevices of the walls. No one could rush up. He is not a veteran of the battlefield, and he rushed forward and did not dare to rush and chop. He just tried desperately to withstand his shield and cover the gap behind him, allowing more people to squeeze up. This is the advantage of heavy armored infantry, as long as If you can stand firm, you can tear a hole. Although such a hole is small, there are not many people coming up one after another, but once such a hole is torn, it is like a hole in a strong dam, like It’s like filling up oil and finally dragging down the other party completely

"It really deserves to be the two armies of the royal capital. I am afraid that this attack power is no longer under the power of the empire!"

A general of Aden said in a low voice with an ugly face. Other generals of Aden also looked shocked. Although they are generals of the local garrison, it does not mean that they have never been on the battlefield. In the war on the mainland, and the war with the Erot Empire in the following years, many of them participated in the war as auxiliary forces, but it was the first time they saw the violent siege war like this. **The defensive strength of the team is really surprising. The coverage of the fourth army of Aden made them stunned. This is the first time everyone has seen the fully armored Aden Army.

This is mainly because the standard armor on the Obaro continent is a very expensive luxury item in the Aden army. The armor represents the capital of a power, especially in the Obaro region, the Gaul Empire, and the Gang. Non-empires and others have realized a vast empire more than a hundred years ago, and the level of armor forging has already been in full swing. In ordinary troops, half body armor has been realized, and elite troops even have plate armor. This situation is completely different in the Kingdom of Aden.

Although the Kingdom of Aden has risen in the Gulf of Aden area, as long as the kingdom itself maintains a structure where the central area and surrounding lords coexist, the main body of the government is still the slavery system. The Gulf of Aden in the center of Aden is close to the coastline and naturally lacks forging. The iron ore and other minerals in China have not been forging developed areas since ancient times, and the great monarchs outside the core area prefer to use cheap slave army as a consumption force in foreign operations. The slave army is not unique to the Kingdom of Aden, but There is only one Kingdom of Aden that can pull out half a million slave army in one go.

Since there are a large number of slave armies that can be used as cannon fodder, the heavy armored infantry dedicated to melee combat in the Central Army of the Kingdom of Aden is also quite rare. For slave owners in various places, slaves are not eligible to be armored and can The armors were all the slave owners’ own guards, and the regular army of the Kingdom of Aden had not forcibly required the entire army to wear armor thirty years ago. One was because the armor of the entire army was too expensive. The area of ​​Aden was hot and humid, and iron armor often After a few years of squeezing, it will rust. Not to mention the defensive power is greatly reduced. There are still too many failures in the real battle. Another reason is that the Gulf of Aden is hot. In many cases, wearing full-body armor will consume too much physical strength for soldiers. , So the standard equipment of the Aden army is often lightweight leather armor

This is also the reason why the 18,000 Aden army besieged the Three Thousand Emperors Army and hit the iron plate.

And now, the fourth army of Aden, which is truly armored, has also encountered the iron plate. The excitement of the Aden people has not been maintained for more than ten seconds. In the blink of an eye, countless heavy hammers are flying from the direction of the city. As for the generals of Aden who were shocked just now, their faces were immediately dull, and there was this operation. . . . I saw that the soldiers of the Fourth Army of Aden who climbed the city wall suddenly seemed to be swept by a strong wind, and rolled over like a bean explosion. The body hit by a metal hammer fell from the city head in an irregular curve, twisted and deformed. All the objects that were hit are like leaves flying in the wind, making a variety of different rotating postures, and they were knocked off their heads without seeing clearly what they were opening, and they were knocked off their heads as soon as they landed. The striking arc brought by the heavy hammer swept one piece, even the shield was broken countless

The Aden soldiers who climbed into the city were close to each other in the front row and the back row. They were so crowded that they could hardly breathe. They were hit by this hammer head-on.

"Tear the entrance to the city, everyone moves forward!"

"Where's the fifth team, the fifth team should keep up!"

"Damn, where are people dead!" The heavy iron hammer hit the shield of Aden's heavy infantry, the iron bar broke, and the shield with the person exploded like a squeezed tomato

Pay attention to the side. During the chaotic battle, someone shouted and saw a row of wheeled carts like rectangular boxes appearing on the side circular pedestal, where the imperial infantry who had stood there were all looking to both sides at this time. Disperse, make way for these weird wheeled vehicles like boxes, it feels like the waves are being separated,

The shocked faces of the generals of Aden have not disappeared, and their mouths have opened again, what the **** is this! The generals of Aden had secretly thanked themselves that they did not hit the city wall last night, otherwise the emperor's army would look like a big killer specially prepared for the siege enemy, and they would all be smashed on their heads, only the Fourth Army. . . . . . The generals looked at Tobris, who looked like a statue in front of them.

"Hehe, Tobris wants to take advantage of it. He thinks that our army will attack all night, the Imperial Army team will be exhausted, and it will be able to take it in a battle, but he didn't expect it...hehe...not far away. An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of Trosu’s mouth. The other Aden generals thought that Toblas led the Fourth Army to attack Bersad and wanted to stand up, but Soto Rosso, who was more familiar with the royal family generals It's another kind. Toblas is full of pride, but he is really a tough fighter on the battlefield. It is definitely not the kind of stunner who doesn't care about anything, just draws the stunned head on the knife, and he has no 18,000 people. After the fight, why does Toblas think his Fourth Army can be taken down?

Toblas’s judgment was not wrong. Although the Imperial Army still counterattacked vigorously until now, the Fourth Army of Aden did rush to the city wall. This alone was enough to make himself and other Aden generals feel I am ashamed, but Toblas has not fought against the Empire, so I never thought that the Imperial team is definitely a master in defense. The generous and towering huge round pillar fort is the famous deputy fort of Bersad. These wheels were placed on these pillars from the beginning. Although everyone saw them, they all naturally mistakenly believed that they were storage boxes used to hold various materials. Now that they were pushed out, everyone knew that it was originally. A weapon

"What is it!"

"I don't know, I haven't seen it"

"Some people in General Aden also talked in a low voice. They surrounded and beat up the Three Thousand Emperors Corps. They fought hard for a day and night, but they didn’t get their fart. The Fourth Army tore the city wall in half an hour. The gap, from the bottom of their hearts, they also want to make the Fourth Army suffer a bit, otherwise it doesn’t appear that they are too incompetent. The Royal Capital’s double armies are really good, and the equipment is excellent, but this momentum of fighting forward, even if it is. The empire’s powers are nothing but the case. I really didn’t expect that the Aden royal family still has such powers in their hands. Compared with the Aden Fourth Army, they feel that their troops are not even worthy of soy sauce. They were in the same situation last night. Attacked in turns with several times the force, how many times the troops rushed up and ran back in front of the imperial crossbow shooting, and the Aden Fourth Army’s combat power was not only amazing, but also showed an extremely efficient attack rhythm.

In just two or three seconds, the planks in front of the long wooden box wheels were suddenly opened, and there were densely packed small squares. Each long wooden box was composed of eight squares, each of which was composed of up, down, left, and right. At this moment, the squares are filled with clusters of arrows like honeycombs. The cold light of the metal arrows is reflected in the sun.

"It's the Hundred Ballistas of the Empire quickly dispersing!" Someone reacted and shouted silently.

"Hundred Ballista..." Hearing the shouts from the city wall, Toblas, commander of the Fourth Army of Aden, who thought he had a chance to win, couldn't help but change his face. He was not only fourth. The commander of the army, or the deputy commander of the Aden Military Department, how could he not know what the Empire Ballista is! This is a big killer specifically designed to deal with intensive city battles. Although the Ballista is not as famous as Thor and Incendiary in the previous battles of Oubaro, it is because the Ballista is not an attack weapon. If you talk about defending the city Combat power, the powerful explosion of a Hundred Crossbow chariot in a sudden, can definitely make a **** path in the crowd in an instant

The emperor team even brought a hundred ballistas! Toblas’ face was blue, and his breathing was heavy. According to his visual observation, there were more than 20 Imperial Ballistas on the side of Shizhu Fort. If converted into archers, nearly two thousand Imperial Archers launched a straight line. Shooting, any army facing such a sudden change will be a massacre, not to mention that the forces of the Fourth Army are crowded on the wall at the moment, even if it is Toblas, it is the entire back at this moment. The cold intentions that are invading the bones are rushing towards the head frantically. The eyes are bloodshot, and the calm face is full of anger

And all this is just a short ten seconds, the Empire Ballista "pop! Pop! Pop!" There was a sound like a rainstorm falling to the floor, like a sudden explosion of a vase, rushing up the city wall. The side of the heavy armored infantry of the Second Fourth Army sounded, a waterfall of cold light, pupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupupu. The continuous ejection of the long crossbow arrows forms a series of long shadows in the air. The crossbow arrows of the Hundred Crossbow Arrows are all specially made, and they are at least half a meter in length~ IndoMTL.com~ At this moment, under the huge launch inertia, these half a meter long The steel crossbow bolts lashed at the back of the heavy-armed infantry in Aden like a whip. "Ah!" The screams broke out. The defenseless Aden soldiers were stabbed from behind by the steel crossbow bolts pierced by a long line. The bright red blood came from behind. The front torn chest exploded, even if wearing heavy armor, it was useless before such a terrible mercury rushed through the ground. Before the heavy armored infantry of Aden had time to cheer, they were swept by this fierce blow. Doubt about life

A heavy-armored infantry in Aden who was shot through the body looked at the blood-stained arrow protruding from his chest with a stunned face, and his eyes were full of disbelief, what kind of weapon it was. . . . They are the kings of the Aden infantry, wearing heavy armor and perseverance. They have always been responsible for the task of meat grinders on the battlefield. They are also the courage of the army. They are always the most decisive. Power, but at this moment, even the bravest heavy armored infantry in Aden was stunned, countless dense clusters of arrows like fire dragons shot at them, and the proud heavy armor turned out to be as thin as paper

"Papa Papa" a hundred arrows were shot, blood shot, the whole battlefield was like the most terrible nightmare, screams, blood, death, dense like locusts, the sound of arrows tearing the air, making a miserable sound like death With a violent swipe of the sickle, the soldiers of Aden on a road were suddenly shot by fire dragon-like arrows, broken spears, incomplete shield guns, broken fingers and broken bodies, and the blood spurted out like rain, tragically. Wailing, stinging everyone’s eardrums, and flying flesh and blood on the impact line,
