Power and Empire Chapter 3853: Bleeding Star and Moon (8)
The horseshoe splashed in the mud and rushed in the rain. Dozens of Aden cavalry rushed from south to north
These Aden cavalry men's horse clubs are covered in mud, their armor is full of rain, wet and heavy, and a neighing sound is heard. A horse of Aden cavalry slams into the mud, and the Aden cavalry on horseback measures Unprepared, he was violently thrown a few meters away and rolled several times on the ground before he stood up with difficulty.
"Old man, are you too?"
The Aden Cavalry's eyes were dull, watching the mucus sprayed from the nose and mouth of the horse that had fallen into the mud, and his belly was recovering desperately, but he couldn't get up no matter how hard he struggled. He looked at the bleak fur and the scrawny horses. With the last bit of effort, the Aden Cavalry had a complex expression, murmured a few prayers, drew out his saber, and plunged into the neck of the mount.
The Aden Cavalry hoped that the horse who had been with him for many years would suffer less dying pain, and felt the horse's breath gradually weakening by touching the horse's mane with his hands.
Beside him, the other Aden cavalry also stopped their horses, just quietly watching what happened in front of them
There was no shock, only watching the horse blood spatter in silence, staining the Aden cavalry into a blood man.
A cavalry officer sighed, "Another one fell down, and the army was out of food. Even if the horses were eaten up, the horses worked hard. What kind of battle is this all fighting, the advantage of hundreds of thousands of people, Frozen was facing a mere 20,000 people who did not dare to attack. A battle lasted for a week at most. Frozen was dragged out for half a month. The rear was also looted by slaves because of the riots, resulting in the looting of the army’s rations. The fighting continued. Up to now, the horses have been driven out temporarily, and the food they carry is limited, and there is no way to go to the army to fight. It is a miracle to be able to survive until now. If the food is not available, I am afraid that even people will not eat it. Of the "
In the words of the Aden officer, there was a lot of grievance. As one of the two armies of the royal capital of Aden, hundreds of thousands of troops confronted the 20,000 emperor team, and they can make people laugh out of their teeth. They are the ace of the royal family of Aden. When did they experience this embarrassment? The army’s food has basically been eaten, and even stopped the food supply to the tens of thousands of slave armies. The tens of thousands of slave armies are now digging wild grass roots to eat, and the regular army is not much better. They have begun to slaughter horses to satisfy their hunger, of course. All the horses killed were used for transportation, but no one dared to say that the horses would not be killed later,
The battlefield of the siege of the two sides a dozen or so days ago has completely changed its appearance. A Thor cannonball fell, and black smoke rose up on the built boss. The earth that was soared by the explosion had not completely fallen down yet, and it was another one. The shock wave flew up to the impact. I don’t know how many times the damp land has been plowed back and forth by the artillery fire. The ground is full of pits, large and small. The dark red blood is shocking, and slowly seeps out from the soft soil. The ground of Bethard is red, everywhere. The grass and shrubs were blown over, leaving broken guns and arrows and black corpses all devastated, and the bodies of countless slaves filled the trenches outside the city.
The land in Berthard is wet and soft, with few rocks or the like, and there is a serious lack of wood nearby. All the materials of the Aden people were transported from more than ten miles away. Now that a large number of horses used for transportation have been slaughtered, it has been completely turned into human transportation. In order to save food, the Aden people did not use slaves even more. The degree of parsimoniousness, the long dragon drawn by tens of thousands of slaves makes people feel shocking,
Toblas mobilized tens of thousands of slaves to gradually push down the defenses outside Berthard, and a new wooden wall was built under Berthard to block bows and arrows above
Because of the imperial cavalry's heart attack, Toblas deliberately placed rows of sharp points on the wooden wall seats, like rows of sharp teeth facing the sky. In ten days, he lost three of them. More than 10,000 slaves, an average of two to three thousand slaves per day, Toblas finally pushed the siege line to Bersad to a position less than 50 meters away from the city wall, but because it was too close to the city wall, he came from the head of the city. The artillery fire became more and more fierce. The fires shot directly from the city wall and exploded on the wooden wall. The limbs and various debris all flew up and interweaved various weird patterns in the air. The regular army of the Aden people was not. Those who dare to stay with the wooden wall are slaves who can lose if they stay there
The news that Ansiadin was destroyed by the Imperial Navy’s shelling also spread here.
Toblas held an emergency military meeting. At the meeting, Toblas took out the order that the King of Aden had just sent, "Your Majesty, Strict Order, within five days, you must take Persad"
"Five days..."
The generals of Aden present here are a little ugly.
The fierce artillery fire of the Imperial Army is obvious to all. Recently, at the head of Persad, the Imperial Army demonstrated a new weapon. Several spheres floated in the sky. At first, the Aden Army did not notice. A shelling by the ** team directly exploded the material storage warehouse in the 11th local military camp in Aden, and the Aden army discovered that there was something more on the head of the city of Bethard, these slowly rising spheres. He seemed to be a condescending **** of death, watching closely the every move of the Aden army under the city. No one knows when, the imperial Thor on the city’s head will suddenly intensively cover a certain area, and most of that area is where supplies are stored and where senior officers rest in tents.
The people of Aden feel that in front of Bertha’s new weapon, they are like a naked girl with no secrets at all. The commander of the Eleventh Army in Aden was even caught by Bertha during the night’s rest. The German shelling, half of the guards around him were reimbursed, and I was seriously injured, and was picked up from the mound by his subordinates. Counting the 47th and 29th local troops who were attacked before, there are already three. General Aden was shelled at night. Two of them died on the spot and one was seriously injured. The shadow was so strong that the generals of Aden had to keep their eyes open at night before they dared to sleep.
Later, the people of Aden discovered that as long as it rains that day, the Emperor ** team will not raise the terrible flying ball. The generals of Aden were secretly relieved and secretly thanked the frequent rainy season during this period, otherwise they were afraid It is to be named one by one by the Thunder God of the Imperial Army team!
These flying **** are actually hot air balloons
As the Minister of Imperial Affairs, Hu Keqili obtained a batch of hot air balloons from the Imperial Navy’s Minister Dustlenko. Hot air balloons are no longer a secret thing for the Imperial Navy. The role was to find targets on the sea, but it was the first time it was used in the Imperial Army. Because the wooden wall built by the Aden army blocked the line of sight, Hu Keqili thought of the hot air balloons in the hands of the navy. These hot air balloons were not only for observation The general situation of the battlefield is reported at any time on the movement of the Aden army. In order to consume the defensive materials in the city, the Aden army has launched many fake attacks, which also caused a headache for the Bersad defenders.
Now that the hot air balloon is condescending, the movement of the entire Aden army is clear at a glance. The fake attack by the Aden army has been difficult to work, and the imperial defenders are mainly anti-visitors. The hot air balloon is used to determine the location of the Aden army’s material warehouses and senior officers’ tents. When the bombardment was launched suddenly in the middle of the night, a large area was directly covered without precision, and the bombardment was directly covered. Not only the Aden’s material warehouses and senior generals were threatened, but also the large-scale siege equipment built by the Aden army with a lot of manpower. This sudden bombardment caused heavy losses, and the bombed Aden army was panicked. The already stretched rations were bombarded three times by the Imperial Thunder God. The fire caused made the Aden people even more eager to cry.
"My lord, today the Aden Army has been mobilized very frequently. It does not seem to be a temptation. There are signs of a full-scale attack.
An imperial official looked hurriedly behind the imperial minister Hu Keqili standing on the head of the city. Hu Keqili stared at the busy scene of the Aden army outside the city like ants carrying. I also think that this time the people of Aden are going to move real, otherwise there is no need to push all the siege equipment up, and those Aden slave armies are even more miserable, and large groups of them have been withdrawn. And the skirmish line pulled out by the Aden people behind them, like dogs and sheep, drove these Aden slaves, some of them walked slowly, the Aden officer swung a knife and slashed in the crowd, splashing a lot of blood, and the Aden slave army More panic and fear, pushing each other and wriggling
More than a hundred thousand people spread out in front of Berthard~IndoMTL.com~The rain is filled with spears like forest, and the flags in the rainwater are like pulling out a band of red clouds in the rain, and this huge piece of The outline is constantly squirming and expanding, like a continuously elongated and widened fan. Behind the huge number of slave troops is the regular army of the Aden Army, lined up one after another with regiments, regiments, brigades, and squadrons. The phalanx was tight and neat, with no slogans, no sound, only the sound of rain, and the two armies were silent. There seemed to be only rhythmic rustling of footsteps left between the heavens and the earth, and the silence was chilling.
"It seems that the people of Aden are going to move for real this time. The order goes on and the whole army is ready for combat." Hu Keqili's cold face finally had a wave of fluctuations. This time the Aden army made it clear that they would not hesitate. At all costs, we must also take down Berthad
It's just a pity. Hu Ke has a strange look in his eyes. Did the people of Aden really think that it was half a month ago when they had to confront the more than 100,000 Aden army with 20,000 people? The war situation is ever-changing, not to mention that more than ten days have passed, and the other party still thinks that he is the superior side of the military, and really thinks that there is nothing wrong with the empire!
"Send a signal and tell the Harvey people that if they want to go home, they will move closer to Berthard. If they win, the Empire sends them back. If they lose, they will fend for themselves!" Hu Keqili's voice paused. Once, raise your hand and say
