The city of Bessad, in front of the Empire Crossbow Car, blood flowed into the river, and the blood of red humans flowed down the city wall. The bodies of countless Aden heavy armored infantry infantrymen filled with arrows clusters were piled together. One Aden heavy A infantry covered in blood, leaned half on the battlement mouth, his eyes blurred, trying to see clearly in front, he saw the imperial marksman on the wall quickly rushed into these areas, raised his crossbow and shot at the Aden soldiers below

"Speed, occupy position"

"Below the target, shoot!"

These are more than five years old Central Army veterans, equipped with leather quiver, holding a strong infantry crossbow, no armor on their body, running light and agile, very fast, all the front ends of these imperial crossbow arrows are used to break The triangular arrow cone of the armor, this sharp arrow is in the range of fifty meters, enough to tear off any heavy armor. "Brushing" these crossbow arrows in the sun brings up a haunting white cold light, breaking the nail tip The arrow cluster in the mouth was firmly nailed to these heavy infantry. The front arrow was submerged into the armor, and soon blood leaked through the gap between the armor. Some heavy infantry crawled and crawled and released their hands, falling from the long ladder. Some breathing heavily, the slow pace is like a tortoise, these arrow clusters cannot kill the heavy infantry, but they can cause the heavy infantry inside to be injured and bleed. The heavy infantry is originally a weapon that depends heavily on physical strength. A large number of Bleeding will seriously weaken the fighting power of heavy infantry until the death due to blood loss

"Asshole!" Tobras had a sullen complexion. He thought that in front of his heavy armored infantry cluster, he would not be more strenuous than piercing through a piece of tissue, but he didn't expect it to be like this. This is also the case for the team. In this battle, it is inevitable to gain power, but did not want to play the situation is completely one-sided. This emperor team is so difficult to fight, the city wall is attacked and driven down by the other party. This has never been the case for the Aden Fourth Army. What happened just now, with heavy casualties. Tobras took a deep breath and could feel the shaking of the combat troops under his command. This battle is definitely considered to be the royal ace of the fourth army of Aden for more than ten years The most tragic battle, even if the scale of this battle is not large!

"Woo" The horn with a sense of majesty suddenly came from the sky. This was the sound of the horn of evacuation. The fourth army of Aden began to retreat. Even if the fourth army of Aden was called steel, it was also used by the Empire Crossbow The car's volley shot was exhausted, and dozens of steel iron crossbows saved shots at a short distance, completely ignoring any blockage, and it was completely beyond the range of human resistance. It can reach a penetration of 20 meters when worn. All the Aden heavy armoured infantry along the line were penetrated, which was simply too violent. The moment the hundred crossbow vehicles stopped, they were inserted into the city walls. The short guns were broken, and there were broken lances and heavy swords everywhere. The corpse, the flag of the cut off infantry regiment fell to the ground, and the Xingyue battle flag representing the triangular swallowtail of the team blew out in the silence.

The wall that was just mounted was recaptured by the imperial team again. The Aden 4th Army lost more than 800 people in this attack. This siege that was as smooth as a hurricane was in just one minute. The fourth army of Aden lost one-twentieth, and the imperial team's endless defenses shocked him. He thought that the imperial team had just fought with Prince Sotorosu for a day and night, and had exhausted his energy and fighting spirit. But I feel that the other party is not tired, it can even be said to be energetic.

What exactly is going on! Tobras doesn’t understand this counterintuitive situation,

The clear blue sky and white clouds seem to be shaken by the cries of the fighting below the ground, spreading layer by layer from east to west like fish scales

Minister of Imperial Affairs and Head of the Central Army, Hu Keqili, stood on a high hillside, holding a mirror to observe the situation of Bersad's entire battlefield calmly, with a solemn expression like a condensed statue. Behind them, the four commanders of the Central Army of the Empire were scorching in their eyes. Although it was five or six miles away from Bersad, they were condescending, and it can be seen that the Aden army of this attack was beaten back two days ago. Aden army is completely different

This means that this is not the Aden army in front, but a completely different army.

"Sir, seizing Bessad's move, it was indeed the Aden who had to save the weakness. The Aden changed their previous tactics that gradually advanced by relying on the accumulation of troops. In just three days, they sent two It can be imagined that the group of heavy soldiers with tens of thousands of people can’t imagine that this is not a trivial point, and maybe most of the Aden army will be mobilized."

A fluffy-haired, sturdy head of the Central Military Banner, behind Hu Keqili, hesitated and said, “It’s just a little less than three thousand people. Now the Adenites gathered in front of Bersad are probably more than three. Ten thousand people, a ten-to-one force ratio, is it too risky, or subordinate to another squadron to go up, this is more secure'

"Bethad's front wall is two or three hundred meters wide. Even if the Aden have more troops, they will be able to attack the wall without attacking more than five hundred. One hundred crossbow vehicles, two squadrons of heavy armored infantry, The crossbowmen of the two squadrons, as well as the reserve teams of the two squadrons, there are 3,000 people on the surface. In fact, they are hiding. There are five or six thousand. The Adenites will not think that this batch of new ones has just been replaced. The battle-hardened veterans have plenty of rest, regardless of their physical and willpower, they are at their peak. If they can't even handle this situation, then the title of the steel sword flag regiment of the fifth flag regiment of the Central Army of Silar can also be Take it off!" Hu Keqili grumbled coldly, put down the mirror in his hand

If Tobras heard this sentence here, he might be able to vomit blood on the spot. It turned out that the imperial team in Bessard City was not three thousand people, but maybe six thousand. It caused the illusion of three thousand people. The black-pressed Aden formation looked from a distance, but it was just a line on this desolate land. Although the Aden army had a large number of people, after a series of battles during this time, the emperor went up and down. I have roughly grasped the fate of the Adens. The armor rate of the Aden army is not high. Basically, only officers are armored. As a local garrison, the Adens, even the officers, do not have armor, but mostly wear light leather armor. , So once encountering intense fighting, the casualties of the Adenians are like cutting grass, and then they will quickly flee. Of course, this is mainly aimed at the local defense army of Aden, while the regular army of the Adenians is still stranded in the distant China and Belgium. Subregion

The emperor's raid really caught Aden by surprise, but with the prolongation of time, this raid war has really changed from a raid to a clear attack half a month later. Aden has mobilized its surrounding forces to counterattack. However, the imperial team defeated the garrison all the way and released a large number of slaves in the Aden slave master's manor at all levels. These slaves contained a large number of Aden's garrison forces. In this raid that affected southern Aden, the empire finally used more than 20,000 troops. Shengsheng involved all four provinces in southern Aden. Of course, this was not the real goal of the imperial invasion of the south.

"Guess what, where did this arriving army come from?" Hu Keqili flicked the corner of his mouth slightly and raised his hand to the commanders of the Imperial Banner behind him.

The heads of imperial flags looked at each other,

"It is a unit in the Gulf of Aden, lord!" one of the commanders of the Imperial Central Banner suddenly said

Hu Keqili nodded his head, "Yes, except for the defenders in the Gulf of Aden, I can't think of where the reinforcements will come from! The majority of the main Adenian combat troops are still in Centralbia, and they are still powerful. The Oasis Legion was pinned down because of the Great Oasis. The only elite troops that the Adenians can now adjust are probably only the troops stationed in the core area of ​​the Gulf of Aden, and there are heavy armoured infantry in this unit, which is completely inconsistent with the general Aden. The configuration of the army, according to the information provided by the Imperial Southern Intelligence Department, the Gulf of Aden, as the area where the king of Aden is located, is naturally the top priority. Not only are the elite troops with 60,000 people stationed, the noble private army of nearly 40,000 people, but also At least four naval fleets, and more than 130 Aden warships blockade the entrance to the Gulf of Aden. Anyone who wants to attack the Gulf of Aden must consider that once the attack stops, they have to face the Adens on the land and sea lines. The fierce strangling unfolded on the "

In the history of the Adenites, such a situation is not unprecedented. This is the case of the Falling Star War that broke out 50 years ago. The southern fine navy that had the advantage of the sea launched a raid on the Gulf of Aden. At that time, the southern fine navy was the overlord of the southern sea. ~lightnovelpub.net~ There are more than 170 warships and more than 30,000 troops mobilized. The southern fine navy first tore the entrance of the Gulf of Aden, then broke all the way along the bay, attempting to break through the capital of Aden in one breath. Just over thirty miles from the capital of the capital, the sea of ​​the Falling Star Bay was desperately blocked by 74 naval warships

In that war, 74 warships of the Aden Navy were sunk 61, wounded 13, and killed more than 8,000 sailors. Although the southern army achieved victory in the naval battle, it delayed the time and landed the troops. Quickly defeated by the forces gathered by the king of Aden, the 170 scarred navy warships that were scarred by the Aden were shut down by the slings on the coast of the bay. The wreckage of the navy warship once blocked the entrance of the bay, and the army The losses totaled more than 20,000. The naval sailors trained for many years in Nanxi suffered heavy losses, and the naval era of the tyrannical Nanxi entered the decline.

The Battle of the Falling Star Bay is also regarded as a turning point in the decades of war disadvantage between the Kingdom of Aden and the South. Without the support of the naval fleet, the Army of the South could not fight across the sea. Eventually, the influence of the South near the Gulf of Aden, It was soon replaced by the expanded kingdom of Aden. How to avoid the end of the Nanxi in Luoxing Bay has always been a question for the empire to consider. According to the emperor’s meaning, it is very simple. If the sea of ​​Aden is The elite army left the Gulf of Aden, and naturally there was nothing to fall in the Star Bay. The purpose of the invasion of the imperial team in the south was only one from beginning to end. The most important heart of the Aden people inserted a knife, that is, the Gulf of Aden. Before the main force returns, a sword seals the throat!
