Power and Empire Chapter 3839: The death knell of Aden (13)

Under the city of Bersad, the earth is white in autumn, and the breath of early winter is becoming more and more obvious. The main force of the empire that the people of Aden have been looking forward to finally appears on the battlefield, and a team of heavy armored empires appear in Bertha. In the direction of Germany, the battle flag is flying, the black armor is sparkling like the sea, and the helmet top is swaying like fire in the wind.

The black Thors lined up on the wall of Berthard, dozens of steel and iron imperial ballistas were pushed up the wall by soldiers again, not directly to the battlement, but two behind the battlement. At a position of three meters, bundles of fine iron crossbow arrows were stacked on the ground. The heavy infantry crossbowmen crouched near the imperial ballista. The armors on their bodies were all carefully crafted by military craftsmen. The entire plate of steel protects the chest, and the arms are Tough leather strips and thinly concatenated scale armor, these heavy crossbowmen of the Empire piously slaughtered a red juice on the front of the arrow cluster, and then placed each branch flat in the gap behind the battlement, just like A sign that the devil is marking the reaping of life,

The imperial legion of 24,000 people finally gathered in the direction of Bethard, as if the swords had been sharpened and sharpened, waiting for the wind to see blood, this kind of killing aura engulfed the bleak wind, and the imperial flag was also in the wind. Tight as a knife in the middle

The commander of the Fourth Army of Aden, Toblas, swept his gaze across the front of Berthard, and slowly raised his right hand, his face changed from excitement to seriousness. The entire Obalo knew that the Empire The army is known as invincible to defend the city, but the total strength of the Aden side gathered on the battlefield of Bersad at the moment has reached 150,000, while the imperial army has only 20,000, which is almost seven times the strength ratio, giving the Aden generals absolute confidence. , Now even fools know that the imperial army has fallen into a trap, and there is no suspense about the victory or defeat. The difference is just annihilation or slippage

If seven times the strength of the army still cannot beat a Berthard, all the Aden soldiers of my generation should have committed suicide in shame! Toblas took a deep breath,

Hundreds of infantry units spread out in front of Berthard, which can be called a sea of ​​people. The flag swept across the entire land, and the spear-stabbing phalanx was lit up extremely neatly above each infantry team, as if a murderous sword was about to be unsheathed. In front of these regular army teams, there were densely packed slaves, 80,000. A large number of slaves are the largest cannon fodder group on the offensive side. There are densely packed people crowding the people, like a black tide, with 80,000 cannon fodder filling the walls of Persad, how can it be enough!

"Take Bethad, take Bethad!"

Countless knives and guns were raised up, shouting shouts like landslides and tsunami. Under the military order, the army moved forward and tens of thousands of people swarmed forward on the attack line. It was just the shouts of the surrounding sky. The adrenal gland secretes large amounts of people who are enough to stimulate, and it gives people a feeling of being attracted by a maelstrom. All life and death are thrown behind their heads. One group of slaves rolls like waves, covered by clusters of arrows, and killed by heavy crossbows. Swept in rows by the longbowmen’s dense clusters of arrows,

Happiness! Crossbows and crossbows were all over the sky. The imperial heavy crossbow arrows with diamond-shaped blood grooves as thick as a child’s arm, plunged fiercely into the attack line and set off a **** blood. Countless white lights flew from the city head. The Yaden Slave Army Company was I didn’t see anything clearly, so I had my head cut off. Bloodstained to the sky fell like raindrops, and the army of slaves who only wore clothed flesh and blood flew on the front line. The heavy crossbow arrows often shot through the first person’s. The body needs to pierce through two to three human bodies before it tends to plunge into the ground suddenly. The viscous human blood flows down the fine iron shaft, quickly forming a pool of blood mixed with this piece of flesh, which is hit by heavy arrows. The shredded limbs, scattered around like broken toys, were directly punched out in the crowd more than ten meters long of flesh and blood!

"Go on, all the slaves will be pushed up, and the latter will be killed on the spot!"

The Aden Commander team frantically pushed up rows of Aden slaves. Numerous heads were densely packed under the city of Bersad. The earth was like chess. The Aden people never regarded the lives of slaves as life, not to mention these lowly slaves. Eighty thousand slaves were used to consume the firepower of the imperial army to defend the city. How could it be enough?

The densely packed human heads are pushed forward, like a kind of hypnosis. Human blood is boiling like boiling water. Whether you like it or not, it will be swept forward by the advancing force.

White smoke rose from the top of the city, rumbling, and violent explosions. Hundreds of fireballs with long black tails whizzed down. A huge wave of air exploded to the surrounding area, and the eardrums were also shocked. The ground was buzzing. The first reaction of the unprepared slave of Aden was to squat on the ground and hear nothing for a few minutes. The only thing that can be seen is the masses of fire, like the following The broken finger remains like rain falling from a height, and the surrounding air seems to be under huge inexplicable pressure, as if torn scars and cracks in the earth.

The red flames were torn apart, and the dazzling exploding flashes instantly illuminated the entire vast field. The bright red and fierce flames became more and more intense, and the wooden flagpole was blasted into two fiercely in the middle. Xingyue The flag hovered and danced like butterflies flying in the air. The explosion was like a volcano rushing out of the ground. The people standing on it were thrown into the air at once, and then scattered like celestial flowers. Layers of corpses were piled up. After reaching the hill, the blood gurgled along the cracks in the ground, and when you stepped on it, you could feel the stickiness of human blood. The injured were crushed in the pile of corpses and screamed for help. No one had time to pay attention to it.

"Mom!"

"Run!"

The slave army in front could still gritted their teeth. At this moment, they were completely beaten up. The slave army of Aden, like squeezing a duck, disintegrated in the fire, and many people instinctively covered their ears. , There are still many people trembling all over by the sound of the explosion like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, their faces pale and fainted on the spot, debris and ashes piled into the sky, making people feel the indestructible destruction of the explosion area, and the bright light clusters are still there. A beautiful and cruel arc representing death was drawn in the sky, and a series of thunder-like sweeps across the fleeing crowd of Aden slaves,

."Go back and continue attacking!'

"Retreat without authorization, kill!" Aden's regular army supervising team is arrayed behind the slave army, and the spears in their hands are all down, like a sharp long line blocking the slave army.

The thin figure of the leader of the Aden Superintendent Frost stood behind the Superintendent team, looking at the mountains and plains in front, the unstoppable collapsed slaves, raised his hand expressionlessly on his face, and shouted "bow shooter". The two thousand Aden archers of the supervising team raised their bows and arrows toward the air forty-five degrees, brushing them, and as Fros’s arm fell violently, a large white light flashed, and the arrows hit the fleeing Aden slave crowd like a storm, and the arrows fell down. The cluster is like a sickle swung by the **** of death, ah! The slaves of Aden howled miserably, **** arrows shot in from their chests, and pieces of meat flew out from their backs. Such a tragic sight scared the other escaping slaves to a halt.

"Go back, go back and continue attacking if you don't want to die" Frost shouted sternly, and the slaves turned around again,

The flames were still burning under the city, and a large number of slave armies were pressed down and quickly collapsed. The firepower of the empire in Bersad made all the generals of Aden who watched this scene pale. In the eyes of Commander Toblas, the imperial firepower is indeed daunting. The imperial crossbow bolts, heavy crossbows, and the three-layer strangulation line composed of Thor, even the regular army of Aden will not leave four or five. Thousands of corpses don’t even think about getting close to the walls of Berthad, but now the Imperial Army is pouring such noble firepower on low-value slaves, which in itself is a sign of our own victory

"Since the imperial army has been bitten, don't want to run anymore. Let the slave army attack day and night. Regardless of the loss, the imperial army must be nailed to Berthard!" Toblas said with a smile, and he darkened behind him. The long cloak of golden cicada flowers and vines wafted in the wind. He did not take the loss of the slave army in his eyes at all. The slave army was cannon fodder. If it didn't go to death, would it be possible to stay and consume the little food!

"My lord, just got the news that the six troops we sent to deliver food were blocked by the refugees. The number of refugees who attacked the convoy was huge. Two troops have been washed down and the food was looted. "The adjutant came immediately from behind and whispered shortly in Toblas' ear

"What's the matter, each team has a private army of more than 2,000 people, how could it be destroyed by slaves?" Toblas's face was shocked and inexplicable. The refugees brazenly attacked the convoy of supplies escorted by the military. This was completely Impossible, but this year’s southern Gulf of Aden region suffered from a drought that lasted more than three months in the summer. The rain did not fall, and naturally there was no harvest. For this battle, Toblas took the lead in the military affairs department. Not only did I get tens of thousands of slaves from major families, but also in the name of the Ministry of Military Affairs, all the surrounding food was purchased as military resources for the war, which aggravated the food shortage in the south

The not much food was taken away by the army in the name of combat military resources. Now even the little aristocrats in the south are hungry. The food crisis in the southern Gulf of Aden has become very obvious. There has been a large number of starvation deaths, but for the noble lords in the southern Gulf of Aden, the food crisis has become the most once-in-a-lifetime fortune. In order to increase the price of food, the noble lords even secretly united to hoard food. As a result, there are only two kinds of people who currently have food in their hands. One is the army, and all the food obtained from the region is turned into military resources, and the other is the noble lords who hoard food

"Do you remember the imperial cavalry who forcibly rushed past that night? They attacked many plantations in the rear, freeing the slaves from the plantations, and these slaves have begun to gather to attack and take down the stock for food. There are little lords with food. According to reports from the next two provinces, more than 170 plantations have been ransacked by the imperial cavalry. Thirty-seven little lords have been killed. The corpses are already piled up and bloody. Chenghe, many local lords’ castles were also attacked by the refugees... The adjutant looked ugly and he wanted to stop talking. It was not a big deal to be rushed into a cavalry, but now all the surrounding troops have been attacked. Toblas gathered in Bersad city, the area behind is empty

Even the slave armies of the nobles in the area have been emptied. These thousands of imperial cavalry have entered, completely looting, plundering the lords, and releasing the slaves without any barriers. These words are just such cold words. That's it. But if you are truly on the scene, you know the tragedy. Those Aden nobles who oppress slaves have been tortured and killed by slaves. More and more slaves have been released. Several areas north of Bersad have been It’s a gangster, everywhere in chaos

After listening to the adjutant's words, Toblas couldn't help taking a breath. He didn't expect that these slaves had already developed to the point where they began to intercept military supplies. It was so bold! For these humble slaves who executed their masters, they should be nailed to the trunk of the roadside alive and let the crows peck at their eyes and their internal organs

"My lord, if you don't send reinforcements immediately, I'm afraid..." the adjutant warned carefully

Lushan, fighting to shook the sky, the scarred Aden infantry raised their shields and long swords, desperately maintaining the line of defense. Around them, the Aden refugees with the least number of tens of thousands surging towards them, most of these refugees are The slaves of Aden who were released by the imperial army are wearing various styles of clothes and holding them in their hands

A few feather arrows flicked from the top of the head and the ears, and the strong wind brought up a pain in the cheek of General Jacob of the Aden Army. There was a scream behind him, and then a body fell heavily on Jacob's back, and then he felt the hot liquid splashing on his back. Regardless of whether it was the blood gushing out of the person behind him. Pushing away the corpse, Jacob’s face and its ugly look from the surroundings made his whole heart cold, which is simply too much. Strictly speaking, Jacob is not a combatant, he is just an officer in charge of logistics and transportation. At the age of 26, he was born in a famous southern Aden. This time he came on behalf of his family, but he wanted to do some military service. Who knew he would encounter such a scene?

Slaves who have been hungry for two or three days~ IndoMTL.com~ I can’t care at the moment. This is a military logistics transport team, crowded with people, crowded with people, it’s like smelling blood Like the hungry wolves, they gathered in groups, and after more time this day, it was like hell. There was fire everywhere, plumes of smoke rising everywhere, corpses everywhere, Jacob’s two thousand family private soldiers, half of them were killed at this moment, and the weapons of those private soldiers also fell into the hands of the slaves who were besieging the transport team. The cluster of arrows coming here is,

On the low and low ancient city wall in the smoke and dust, only rounds of arrows flew out. It fell on the slave of Aden who wanted to get close, splashing countless blood. The slave of Aden, who was already hungry and red-eyed, still stumbled up, and soon, all the limp corpses were stepped on under his feet. When everyone fell down, their eyes were wide open, not looking at them, as if waiting for something.

Everything around him turned blood red, and Jacob's panting chest rose and fell sharply. Every time I breathe, there is a burning pain in my lungs. Fortunately, this time the transport team is a private soldier of the Jacob family. Because it is structured with the family as a link, the combat effectiveness is quite strong. When he found that he could not break away, Jacob retreated the personnel to Lushan, which is easy to defend. But the carriage can only be abandoned
