Power and Empire Chapter 3835: The death knell of Aden (9)

The camp of tens of thousands of troops was forcibly attacked. It was not clear how many men and horses rushed in in the dark. All I saw was the shouts of killing everywhere and the flames everywhere. The black cavalry who broke into the camp did not fail to lose their horses. But most of them are wounded but not killed. These black armored soldiers who were wounded and fallen off their horses have arrows hanging on their armors. They are ferocious in iron armor. Without the horses, they carry the swords and horses and follow the simultaneous battle, with the arcuate blades flashing cold , Just sturdily and fiercely crashed into the crowd that frightened back, like a tiger entering a flock, killing the soldiers of Aden back again and again, opening the way for the companions behind,

Such an enemy, the people of Aden have never encountered it.

Such fierce and undaunted madness, even the fighting Aden soldiers were horrified. The chaotic array had not yet stood firm. When they saw the opposite rushing up, they immediately ran around.

"Asshole!"

Toblas's face was blue, and the muscles on his face were twitching. He organized three defenses and failed. It has already been seen that the number of imperial cavalry who stormed the camp was not very large, and five or six thousand cavalrymen died. , Otherwise the other party will not just rush forward blindly, but directly crush his own army. The big reason for the miserable situation now is because of the Aden army’s own problems

The command system of the garrison in these places has its own respective parts. Under normal circumstances, there is no big problem. However, in the face of this sudden attack, this shortcoming was completely exposed, and the soldiers could not respond completely. Without the officer, the officer could not find the superior. The general's order was sent out like a stone sinking into the ocean. There were tens of thousands of people in the sky, but they were fighting each other. They watched the black torrents that swept up the blood and rained down one team after another. Countless Aden soldiers wailed and screamed in front of their horses. Rows after rows were chopped and stabled, blood splattered like spring water, turning the dry battlefield into **** mud in a blink of an eye.

"My lord, please order firefighting immediately, save the Eleventh Corps!"

A **** general of Aden ran up to him with a stern face, asking for the position of the 11th Corps that this general Aden said, it was the imperial cavalry rushing forward frantically. Looking down the direction of the exit, black has already occupied most of the field of vision. All the imperial black cavalry is like a sharp sword that has been gathered quickly, rushing out from the completely torn gap, come, woooo" horn The sound is blowing crazily in the darkness

At the position of the 11th Corps, the fire was blazing into the sky, and a large number of tents filled with supplies were seen burning, illuminating the sky, dyeing the earth red, reflecting on this torrent of black armor, full of ferocious and **** pressure , The imperial cavalry rushed to the Eleventh Corps. . . . . . The Eleventh Corps is over. All the Aden people who saw this scene sighed unanimously, guilty. The Eleventh Corps is a logistics Corps. Although there are six thousand soldiers in total, only two thousand soldiers are really equipped with combat weapons. , The other four thousand are logistics personnel. Such combat power is not a big piece of fat in front of the imperial cavalry who even pierced through the camp.

The imperial cavalry rushed out of the camp from the 11th Corps and threw burning objects such as torches on the tents of the 11th Corps along the way.

"My lord, the order cannot be given at all, we can't save the 11th Corps"

General Aden whispered with a weird face, the imperial cavalry who had killed the camp full of blood was rushing out from the gap of the 11th Corps. Who would dare to stop it? In fact, everyone was secretly relieved. The 11th Corps was only a logistics regiment. It couldn't even rank up in the battle sequence. If you die, you will die. The point is that these empire kill gods are finally gone, otherwise they will cause another disturbance. Fan, I'm afraid that there will be corpses all over the camp. It's good to go now. As for the 11th Corps, I can only blame bad luck. The 11th Corps is a logistics unit from the southern province of Haguwari. , So it’s the safest place to be placed at the end of the camp.

Unexpectedly, the empire had already noticed the location of this logistics corps. In the past few days, the Aden army has been transporting a steady stream of supplies, mostly concentrated in the direction of the 11th Corps. It’s a bit difficult to not pay attention. The breakthrough in Hu Keqili’s plan for the five thousand East Court cavalry is to point directly to the 11th Corps. Since he chose the weakest position of the Aden army, naturally the logistics force is the weakest. By the way, it’s okay. Set a fire, in order to rescue logistic materials, even if Aden finds that the number of imperial cavalry invading is not large, it is difficult for a time to mobilize forces to pursue the pursuit

"Everyone follow me to kill!"

Shu Ge rode his horse horizontally, his horse neighed and ran wildly, protruding from the rear of the Aden army camp. The Aden soldier hit was like encountering a circle of high spinning tops, knocking out, full of flesh and blood. On the ground, more than 3,000 people from the 11th Corps were swept in by the imperial cavalry cluster, as if they had encountered a thick layer of absorbent paper, each of which was full of blood soaking up the Aden Star and Moon Banner on the ground. , Gradually became dignified as iron, this brief raid came to an end as the sound of horseshoes gradually became scarce,

The chaotic Aden army regrouped. The counted number of teams and the sparse team made many Aden captains face ashamed. When the courage of blood was frustrated, their high morale quickly fell back

Before this raid, the morale of the army in Aden has reached a considerable height. There are tens of thousands of troops in this side, and the opposite emperor team has only 3,000 people, which is almost a twenty-one disparity. , As long as you rush up to fill the city of Bersad, I did not expect that the Bersad, who said that there were only three thousand emperors, would come out tonight with a number of elite cavalry. Who will pay? It is said that there are only three thousand people in Bethard, and everyone will drew knives and cut him.

Last night’s imperial cavalry have all seen clearly, and I dare not say how many, but it is definitely above the figure of three thousand. In other words, the imperial force in Berthard is definitely not what it looks like. Three thousand people, a conservative estimate, should be multiplied by five. Toblas grumbled, his fingers clenched, and he said in a deep voice, "Give my order and put out the fire with all my strength!"

It was noon since the fire in the camp was extinguished. The battle damage report was sent to Toblas. More than 1,700 people were killed and more than 4,000 were injured. Among them, more than 30 were trampled to death due to the chaos. , With such a tragic report of battle damage, Toblas’s face was extremely ugly. The real battle hadn’t started yet, he had lost 5,000 people on his side, and the morale of the army suffered a severe setback. Many of the assembled troops were A large part of the air left, the wounded and **** wounded soldiers were even more shocking to watch. The soldiers rushed between the teams, a cloak of muddy water flying carefully behind them, and the armor was bloodied and embarrassed. To the extreme!

The Aden army, which was originally high-spirited and prepared to attack Bethsad, was defeated by the cavalry raid.

In the following three full days, the Aden Army was doing one thing, that is, large-scale felling of surrounding trees, adding a large number of wooden spurs, and thickening the defenses outside the camp. Each of these wooden spurs Both are nearly two meters high. There are sharpened wooden stakes in front. No matter how powerful the horse is, it is impossible to jump over these wooden ones. The follow-up Aden reinforcements are still arriving, and the mountains and plains are full of camps for the Aden people. . The light of the bonfire is like a sea of ​​light. The patrol cavalry of the Aden people patrolled with torches in the night. The fire light walked like a dragon, shuttled back and forth. There were circles of wooden fences and rows of wooden horses. I don’t know how many clothes they drove. The ragged slave expanded the original camp from two to three li to seven or eight li

In this case, even if the emperor’s army replayed its old skills, it would never have been able to penetrate the Aden army’s camp again. Obviously, the Adenites were awakened by a cavalry raid. After the city’s psychology, the Aden generals began to show their ought to have the combat command ability, the absolute superiority in military strength, step by step, not seeking to be able to defeat Bersad in a single battle, but preparing to use the greatest weapon that Aden has mastered, that is. The slave army, at this moment, the slave army in the direction of Berthard has reached 80,000, as long as it has enough equipment. The Aden army will expel the slaves and fill the trenches with their lives. Then the strong bow saves cover. Fill in the trenches and pile up soil, and use simple long ladder ants to attach moths to the top.

This kind of siege method has been used in Aden for 80 years. Although the method is stupid, it is easy to use. It becomes to see whether the two sides can continue to invest in the consumption of troops, and the lack of troops is the biggest weakness of the Imperial Army. Although the city of Persad is not large, it is not easy to maintain the comprehensive defense of the city wall. The attacker chooses the focus and concentrates his forces to attack and fight. The guards must maintain the integrity of the entire defense system, and cannot be completely unprepared anywhere, otherwise, once the gap is torn, the entire line of defense may be shaken!

Toblas now stares in the direction of Berthard more than a hundred times a day, looking for a weak position on the wall. The imperial cavalry slapped him, and he will return it in Berthard. No matter how strong the imperial soldiers are, it is impossible to stop the impact of 80,000 slaves! Under the flagpole hung by Toblas, more than 40,000 Aden’s armies with seven to eighty thousand slaves are like a large swath of ants digging in layers, constantly approaching the offensive line to the city wall, everywhere. The head moved, crying and screaming all around. There are figures of Aden soldiers pulling slaves everywhere, like a pack of wolves running around, even if some young and strong slaves want to resist, but driven by force, it is like a large swarm of ants moving

Toblas was immediately on the raised platform in the camp, but he looked coldly at the scene like **** on earth

Toblas is waiting, waiting for the Imperial Army team to complete the assembly in Bersad City, so that he can defeat the invading Imperial Army team in one battle,

There was a mournful sound in the distance. Slaves crossing the line fell to the ground from time to time by arrows shot from the direction of the city wall. The large number of slaves in Aden already ignored the arrows. They crowded together tremblingly. Sort out the road ahead as quickly as possible and clear the route for the Aden army’s siege equipment.

"My lord, there are fewer and fewer arrows shot from the walls of Berthard. In the first two days, more than 500 slaves were shot and killed every day. Now there are only more than 100, and the shooting distance has changed from the original One hundred meters has been shortened to fifty meters. This shows that the imperial army on the city wall lacks supplies, and has had to retain arrow clusters to cope with the possible outbreak of war! A General Aden said at a meeting.

"It would be great if you could test it out. If you encounter a weapon like the Imperial Ballista again, at least our army will not be caught off guard as it was last time!" Someone suggested that with the rapid increase in military power, a large number of slaves will continue to flow. Then, the generals of Aden were also eager to try. Anyway, there is a slave army as cannon fodder, and their courage has increased. It seems that even if these tens of thousands of people are all dead, it is not difficult to drive tens of thousands of people to come and die. It is so dead, and it is a great deal to be able to defeat an army that is invading the empire!

"The casualties of less than 20,000 people are acceptable. We can use the slave army to test it."

The meeting quickly confirmed the decision to send a slave army to test, and two slaves in a team of ten thousand people were selected.

In order to strengthen the impact of the slave army and meet the needs of testing the defense of the emperor, the Aden Army equipped the front row of these slaves with typical light infantry bucklers and wooden spears. Such armaments are insufficient for attacking large fortresses. , But it’s enough to conquer the walls of Bersad. Driven by more than a dozen large siege towers ~ IndoMTL.com~ 20,000 slaves followed tremblingly, like dense ants all over the surrounding siege towers. , Retreat is death, advancement or there is still a way to survive, and there are a large number of slaves standing on the wooden planks built inside the siege tower, their bodies swaying from side to side as the siege tower moves, like layers after layers of people piled inside. Become a hill

The generals of Aden are standing on the boss, calculating the distance of the siege tower advancing in their hearts

One hundred meters, eighty meters, fifty meters,

I heard a shout from above the city wall. Arrows, dense as raindrops, came towards the approaching siege tower. The steel arrow cluster blasted the siege tower with howling fiercely. Puff, puff, sharp weapon piercing sound, like waves lapping on the hard. On the rock wall, it turned into a patch of scary scarlet splashes, "It was the tip of a sharp arrow that pierced and exploded. The plank of the siege was directly pierced by the heavy crossbow arrow, and the inside of the siege tower The slave soldier crashed down

"Add a layer of baffle in front of the siege tower, it should be able to block these crossbow arrows"

Toblas said in a condensed voice. The other Aden generals nodded, secretly crying out for luck. Fortunately, these slaves were used as temptations. Otherwise, the Siege Tower as the main force of the siege would be the live target of the Imperial Army. Just after Toblas’ words fell, a intensive roar sounded at the head of Berthard, and a dozen or so fireballs with thick black smoke tails flew towards a siege tower, rumbling, and the flames exploded. The sawdust flew away, and the siege tower that was hit was blown up. The fire ball exploded directly inside, like a watermelon being squeezed by force. The sawdust of the siege tower flew about ten meters high. A huge flame came out from inside, and the slave soldier with the flame jumped down miserably from the height

The "Hulala" siege tower broke from the top third of a fireball, and the generals of Aden turned pale!
