Power and Empire Chapter 3602: Dead Door (5)
? The stern horn echoes in the sky of the holy capital
The Martin Liya army is gathering, like a huge black tide covering the direction of the earth. After half a night of repairing each, Martin Liya's infantry group also arrived on the battlefield, a large number of siege equipment was After launching, the steel shield is like snow, and the spear is like a forest. Archers in light armor swiftly press on from both sides.
His Royal Highness Spike announced before the army attacked that the legion first invaded the holy capital. The most rich temple area in the holy capital is whose spoils. Hearing this promise, Martin, who was still a little depressed and complained last night. Liya lords, one by one suddenly seemed to be hit with chicken blood. They only wished that the horse would grow out two more legs, wishing the infantry under their command could fly, wishing that the archer who held the line could shoot a thousand meters! They rode horses like meteors flying across the sky and came to their legions, drew their swords and shouted, cheering their soldiers on, "Everyone dismounts, who is the first to attack the walls of the holy capital, give the baron, a bounty Ten Thousand Empires Gold"
Hearing the shouts of the lords, the eyes of the Martin Liya officers in the array began to turn red, and the hands holding the hilt of the knife suddenly tightened. Ten thousand imperial gold is only a drop in the bucket for the lords Martin Liya. As long as they can become the No. 1 in the Sanctuary, the rumored temple with piles of treasures is their trophy. If possible, it is fifty thousand, and one hundred thousand gold coins can also be taken out
But for the low-level Martin Liya officers, 10,000 Imperial Gold is second. They value the real title. The Martin Liya cavalry jumped off their horses and held the circular cavalry shield in their hands. , Breathing violently hurried up. His face looked serious and cold, especially the low-level officers in the Martin Liya Army. This time all the accumulated possessions were taken out. The half-length heavy armor seized from the Harvey was made of steel. Buckler, helmet I don’t know which sect nation’s Templar knight’s cross top helmet, under the iron bar of the nose, a pair of red eyes, the breath between the nose is full of heavy
Baron! A real baronial title, not a military honour or something, this is more refreshing than ten thousand imperial gold
Many of these low-level officers are the second sons and third sons of the lord's vassal family. They are not born like the eldest son in the clan to get the title. They can only get the lord by fighting and snatching. Many people have been on the battlefield for seven or eight years, even more than ten years of old fritters. They still haven’t touched the side of the knighthood. Military merit awards are used by high nobles to inspire. The magic weapon of the army under their command, although they are lords, according to their title level, the title that can be taken out is also quite limited, and the actual situation is more than ten times more difficult than this.
The main reason is that the number of titles is not enough. Martin Liya has been arbitrarily expanding in the Southern and Northern Wars for decades. Although the territory has expanded a lot, more titles have been sealed off, and the lord’s titles have been in his hands earlier. There are basically people, a carrot and a pit. You don’t have as many titles as you want. The reason why the titles of the Martin Liya nobles are the most valuable is because every title is a real title with a fief, and it is not similar. Honorary title, and once the title is granted, it is protected by the laws of the kingdom. Even if the family of the three major clans wants to take back the title, it will only be possible to wait until the opponent has no successor or automatically deprived of it because of lack of military exploits
So the lords Martin Liya are all war madmen who are extremely keen on expansion. It is also because if there is no reward that can be obtained in their hands, the army commanders below will not listen to you, so even if they are just low-level A baron is heavy enough to drive everyone crazy! And this time, in one breath, the titles of seven or eight barons were thrown out by the major lords. For the rumored property of the temple, the major lords also gave up.
"The baron may be very attractive to the people below, but not very attractive to everyone. Seeing that everyone is so interested, then I will add a little bit to everyone, who can be the first to defeat the defensive line of the Holy Capital , I handed him Kutamu. "As the commander-in-chief of the army, the Prince Spike of the Yier tribe raised his hand to the distant holy city wall, with a smile on the corner of his mouth. Last night’s attack was unfavorable. The battle for the sacred capital of the southern hegemony was just a game of hunting. What you are looking at is who can win the prize in a leisurely manner, rather than dozens of them. The great army of Wan has been fighting for several months, and the two major military groups have fought each other to death!
"His Royal Highness refers to Kutamu, known as Shuimu Fenglin?"
Different from Spike’s randomness, the faces of the other lords all changed in unison. Kutamu is a province near the neighboring capital, and it is an area controlled by the Yier ethnic group. In terms of territory, it is A real Marquis Territory is not comparable to the Baron Territory they took out. In other words, His Royal Highness Spike took out a Marquis Territory, my God! The lord who had reacted couldn’t help but breathe in the air. His Royal Highness Spike’s handwriting is really amazing. Such a masterpiece is unique in Martin Liya’s war history, even if it was a Martin Liya person more than a hundred years ago. At the time of the rise, the decisive battle with the then regional hegemon Haka Ren, although it also threw out seven or eight baronial titles in one go, no marquise's place was thrown out!
"Yes, it is the collar of the Marquis of Kutamu" Spike smiled slightly.
It’s no wonder that the rich and powerful lords all have shocked expressions. In fact, if the baron only affects the balance of power within the lords, then a marquis is enough to affect the balance of the three tribes. Below the marquis, there are three barons, and the fief of the marquis that Spike throws out is a piece of water in the neighboring capital. I don’t know how many people are jealous. Of course, the former owner of such a good place. It will not be an ordinary person. This fief is actually one of the three fiefdoms controlled by the crown prince Spike. It belongs to the place controlled by the three major tribes of the Yi family. In that Martin Liya, it is absolutely a first-class one. Jia Fengmao, any lord who gets it will grow a lot in power, and it will also determine that in the next ten years, it is expected to become one of the five most powerful lords outside the three tribes. This is for any lord. The temptation to refuse
"His Majesty is so generous, I will do my best!" The lords replied neatly, their expressions eager to try. They knew that Spike was determined to win this battle, not only because of the North-South hegemony, but also involved Il The clan is about to retreat from the throne, and the successor Sam clan will not accept it
If Spike can win this battle and the prestige rises sharply, even if the Sams become the new king, the Yirs can still control the core of Martin Liya's power, because Martin Liya's power is in the hands of the lord Yes, the three major clans are essentially the alliance of the major lords. It doesn’t matter who can get the loyalty of the lords, whether it is a royal family or not
At the beginning, the silver fox led the Ansili family to gradually surpass the other two tribes in ten years, and even had the temptation to strongly integrate the domestic three-ethnic structure. It was because the lords of the three tribes worshiped the silver fox, and Stam During the battle, the Silver Fox was fainted repeatedly, completely losing the level it should have. It seemed that the Ansili family was hit hard, but what was really shaken was the confidence of the lords of the three tribes to fight the empire. If even His Highness Silver Fox was What do they do if they fail miserably? The main force of the empire is on the battlefield of the Holy Capital. For a period of time, the Martin Liya Army was panicked. At this time, the new commander of Silver Fox, Spike, suddenly showed amazing talent, whether it was before the war. The courageous plan of the main force led the main force to attack for fifty miles overnight, and attacked the sacred city overnight. The original anxious predicament was torn open, so that the army of Martin Liya who was in hesitation could see the hope of victory, and even the victory was Half of the hand was held in the hand, and all that was left was the final blow!
Spike has proven that he is not inferior to the original silver fox, and in terms of rewards, Spike's mind is much more generous than the silver fox.
At the beginning, Silver Fox only took out a baron from the corner of Ansiri’s house. His Royal Highness Spike is a complete marquis, and it is also a fertile land next to the king’s capital. This is completely incomparable. Sex! At this moment, even the lords of the Ansili family who supported the silver fox at the moment have to give Spike a thumbs up secretly. Martin Liya can have this, and it is definitely a century of the Martin Liya kingdom. Fortunately, if His Royal Highness Spike really defeats the empire this time and smashes the ambition of the empire to go south, then there is nothing wrong for everyone to support His Royal Highness Spike as the new Lord Martin Teeth!
"Let the order go on, take the holy capital, and add another baronian!"
The major lords decisively commanded their respective cavalry, anyway, they can only count if they are won. Two barons are exchanged for a marquis, how can they make a lot of money! The commanded cavalry nodded, turned and ran to the front of the army that was still moving, with a loud voice, stirring the Quartet "The latest order of your lord, whose army is the first to take the holy capital, and add another baronial"
"What! What did the cavalry call just now?"
"My God, did I misheard, add another baron!" The boss of Martin Liya's officers' eyes opened, feeling crazy, today is this lucky day? It’s not that they didn’t hear clearly, but that they couldn’t believe their ears. After a baronie, add another baronie, that is, two baronies. This is incredible. Although the baronie is the smallest in the realm, it can be mastered. The families of the two baronies basically already had the majority status of a marquise, even if they encountered some weak and declining marquis, they were also eligible to sit on an equal footing, and the entire forward queue of the Martin force tooth army turned into a violent commotion at this moment.
The Martin Liya army, which was still lined up, suddenly accelerated like a flood of collapse.
"Everyone, go forward!"
With the sound of overwhelming shouts, dozens of tall siege towers that were built temporarily were pushed by the combined efforts of a dozen soldiers on both sides, and the wooden axles that were not regular circular made a clucking sound, and the heavy tower began. Slowly forward in the sway, rolling two heavy deep marks in the black mud below, the first heavy drum sounded, and then the battle drum sounded side by side, ten sides, one hundred sides, one thousand sides , The drums on the entire front are loud and deafening. Each drum here is only about 30 centimeters long, covered with wild cowhide, and even other animal skins with interlaced patterns. Although the drum head is not large, the number is amazing.
The Martin Liya people are originally the migrating people of the prairie. Every year during the flood season, the Martin Liya long boat is full of migrants. The large one is more than 20 meters and can carry 40 or 50 people, and the small one is A long canoe for four or five people, a hundred boats, along the flooded river, with the water flowing straight to the hinterland of the prairie, at the same time, at the bow of the boat, a round drum made of a hundred wild cowhide, with The violent thunder and drums, like raindrops, announce the arrival of the rainy season and the signal of migration to all the places passing by. This has always been the tradition of the Martin Liya people. For every Martin Liya person, this dense Drums can ignite the blood in their bodies
"Capture the Holy Capital"
"Martin will win with his teeth"
Thousands of chests made a sound at the same time, rumbling like thunder in the sky, like a violent wind blowing the flag on the wall of the holy city.
The Templars on the walls of the Holy City turned pale~IndoMTL.com~ Holding the weapons in their hands, they even felt heavy. Are Martin Liya monsters? After beating for more than four hours last night, the dead are still piled under the city. They are almost two meters away. How long will it take to regain their vitality? I thought that Martin Liya would not recover immediately when his morale was frustrated. However, I didn’t expect that it was only a bright day and it was only more than three hours from the last time. It was such a morale-like sight, Martin Liya. What did the tooth guys have eaten, one by one is like being beaten up with chicken blood!
The archer of the Templar began to raise the compound bow in his hand towards the swift and violent sea of people in the distance. The front end of the compound bow, the cold light of the Mitsubishi arrow supplied by the empire, let it run down. The Martin Liya infantry in the front raised their bucklers, blooming on the ground like flowers,
"Stay steady, don't mess!" The temple officer next to the bow archer shouted hoarsely, but almost immediately, his voice was drowned in a terrible bowstring tearing sound, which was the launch of an imperial heavy ballista , The range of the Imperial Ballista was far beyond that of the archer, and dozens of white lights were seen flying away, flying like a meteor over a distance of more than two hundred meters.
Papa, papa, at the point of landing, in front of this terrible impact momentum, Martin Teeth infantry was pierced by a line like paper and mud, everywhere the armor was broken, and the metal twisted shield flying in the sky.
