Realm of Power

Chuan Yi sighed and said, "I have to admit. This method is stupid. But Zhou Chuan quoted it and it worked!" There was a hint of helplessness in the fat man's words.

"Did you know! Now not only I, Samour, but almost all the forces are trapped by this invisible force! The entire Kyoto is full of royal spies, and with the cooperation of assassins who may appear at any time to disrupt the situation, no Kyoto force dares to risk The danger of being exposed has something to do with the foreign lords. If I guess correctly, this matter should be done by the Kyoto royal family. Only they have the strength to use this stupid method of killing everyone to contain everyone. "

"No! You guessed it wrong!" Isa Moriel shook her head, staring at the black sky in the distance with twinkling eyes, clenching her fingers unnaturally and saying, "It is impossible for the Wikiya royal family to have so many people, and they are willing to use their own lives to do so." If there is one, you can't escape the eyes of our assassins, and you must die in exchange for victory. This is the style of those Gangertians with a fanatical spirit of chivalry! It's not unusual for them to take special care of you."

"Damn! No way!" The fat man looked thirsty, and he felt that what Isa Mohor said was quite reasonable. If this matter was based on the Myer Dian people, all the mysteries could basically be explained. This time the Yin Erdian people People are obviously here to cause trouble. Obviously, a stable neighbor of Wikiya is not what Yin Erdian wants to see. Maybe he really wants to make the muddy waters of Wikiya even more muddy. As long as an important figure of one force is harmed. When it comes to the assassination, the entire Kyoto will definitely be in chaos.

The fat man's face darkened and he said, "How should we deal with this bloody siege tactic? Time is getting increasingly urgent. If they are allowed to continue making trouble, our Samor's Kyoto plan will be greatly affected!"

"Kyoto Kefa Xiao?" Isa Mohor smiled with a bit of playfulness. "I knew that there would be unrest wherever you were. I also heard about the forcible dissolution of the Kyoto Federation. I didn't expect you. To counterattack so quickly, it seems that the rumor that Fat Samour’s heart is smaller than the eye of a needle is not without some truth!”

Isamoor turned around, his eyes shining green in the dark night, like a cheetah lurking in the dark night. He said confidently, "This is not difficult. We just need to send people to thoroughly check whether there are any seedlings recently." Groups of Erdian people enter Kyoto, such as circuses, caravans, or other open places where it is easy to hide people but can carry large amounts of supplies. The two attacks all used war horses. This is the best clue. Even if they transported the war horses into Kyoto in advance, they still needed to have enough food to feed them. Now that Kyoto is in short supply of food, I believe they must have hidden the war horses and food in a relatively secret place. In the camp, we only need to use these characteristics to find out the specific location. When the time comes, it’s not a matter of adults.”

"It's easy to hide supplies and war horses in an empty place without people? Is it possible?"

"The fat man frowned slightly, as if he was remembering something. The beautiful figure of the girl yesterday flashed in his mind, and his expression changed unnaturally several times.

Suddenly turned around and told Hu Keqili, "Immediately lead the 800 Guards Cavalry to search all the warehouses in front of the Jones family villa. If you want to say that the most deserted place in Kyoto and the easiest place to hide supplies and horses, it must be there." "

Hu Keqili nodded and accepted the order, and was about to leave when he was stopped by the fat man's cry. His voice was cold and he said, "Remember, the situation is not yet clear. It is not clear whether it is an enemy or a friend. In order to avoid possible troubles, here is what you have to do." Keep it secret, don’t let others know what we do, and don’t let anyone know if necessary!”

Jones Family Warehouse

In the dark night, the spring rain was like freezing. The raindrops beat on the pine roof, making a drum-like ticking sound. The light of the flickering torches shone on a few sentries wearing coarse cloth mail armor. A dozen war horses were in the stables behind.

"What the hell! How long do you think we have to stay like this! We can't freeze people to death because of horses." Several sentries gathered in front of the fire outside the stable with reluctance, cursing, and stamped their feet from the cold.

The cold wind blew across the fire, making the sound of crackling sparks, but this light was meaningless in tonight's cold night. The sky and the earth were all black. Outside a row of dark and empty warehouses, this light was particularly conspicuous.

The weather outside was too cold, and the freezing cold weather that had just ended seemed to come with the spring rain, and shining silver light flashed across the sky. Like the branches of an old tree. After a dry winter, this year's spring rains came earlier and more intensely.

"Stop talking, three more brothers were injured today, two of them had their hands cut by people from the Western Conference. Another one was stabbed in the thigh, compared to them. It's okay for us to stand here and be cold. What!" The sentry captain, who had finished feeding his horse, squatted down in front of the fire and rubbed his red, cold fingers.

"Well." A sentry stood up and looked at the black sky around him in confusion, but in the heavy rain, let alone seeing anything, he couldn't see clearly even ten meters away.

He saw a group of dark shadows of warehouses entrenched in the distance, which made him feel a kind of fear coming from his heart.

He trembled, "You really didn't hear anything?"

The companions looked at him with disdain, knowing that this sentry was famous for being afraid of ghosts, and joked, "It must be those wilderness ghosts who died unjustly. You know it too. Last spring, the Kugits killed a lot of people here." ! Countless people have been beheaded and their waists broken. They must have taken advantage of the heavy rain tonight to find a replacement! "

"Oh my God! There is really a ghost." At this time, the sentry saw a black shadow flashing past the warehouse in the distance. He was so frightened that he shouted and huddled next to the fire and shivered. Others looked proud. all laughed

"Okay, stop making trouble!" The mature and steady captain of the sentry waved his hand into the darkness and said with a smile.

"Then Tulum. Come out! Tucker has been scared to tears by you!" the sentry captain said. causing the others to laugh even louder,

"Damn it! Tucker, this kid, must have hid in the warehouse again! Doesn't he know that those supplies cannot be moved?" The captain of the sentry shouted several times, but saw no movement, and stood up angrily. I dusted myself off and walked towards the warehouse door not far away.

"Bump!" A black shadow fell from the top of the warehouse and hit the wet stone slab in front of him.

It was a corpse with mutilated flesh and blood, and the lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the corpse's pale face, "The captain of the tower sentry shouted out, and a thick palm covered his mouth from behind,

"Woo" While he was whimpering and struggling, the biting cold blade cut across his throat like the sickle of death. Hot blood spurted out from the throat of the silent sentry captain, and his body twitched and fell, revealing Hu Keqili's cold face.

"Have you found out?" Fatty kept working in Yichuan until Hu Keqili brought people back from the warehouse, and asked Mengan with a solemn face※

"Yes! Sir, you are really good at predicting things!" Hu Keqili said with admiration. "In addition to finding 138 high-quality war horses, we also have hundreds of sets of weapons and armor, and a large amount of food, which is enough to equip a squadron. Use! I really don’t know how they brought so many things in.” "Did anyone see it?" The fat man frowned slightly and continued to ask. He didn't expect this undercurrent to be so powerful. As long as there were enough manpower, nearly a squadron of fully armed soldiers could easily ambush Kyoto in the middle of the road. Any leader of a force is put to death,

Hu Keqili responded with regret, "It's a pity that we didn't find any big shots. We only found a few guards guarding the horses and warehouses. We have solved it secretly and followed your orders. We transported all the weapons, horses and food we collected." Come back. Now that Kyoto is under embargo, such a large amount of supplies can’t be bought with just money, so this should give them some peace of mind!”

"Well, what you did was wrong!" The fat man nodded with satisfaction when he heard that all the supplies had been seized. Without enough war horse supplies, he believed that the strength of those assassins would be greatly reduced, at least they would no longer be as unscrupulous as before. Missing a hit, he fled far away.

The fat man waved his hand to Hu Keqili. Let the guards who had been busy all night go down to rest, then turned around and said to Isa Moriel, "I have done everything I should do. They have suffered such a big loss. I will definitely try every means to find someone." , this is the scope of your secret assassination intelligence responsibility! Within three days, I want to know who they are! What do they want to do!

At dusk the next day. The people of Isa Moriel have good news. A Miao Erdian circus named Makino Harufeng is purchasing weapons, horses and food on the black market, and is extremely generous. The price is three times higher than usual.

It's a pity that the underground forces in Kyoto have received warnings from the families behind them, in this sensitive atmosphere. No one dares to contact these Miao Erdian people of unknown origin. Now the big guys in Kyoto are gathering. The wealthy Stian family in the north and the Falcon Samour in the south. The situation in Kyoto is extremely tense.

Especially after the assassination of an important member of the Stian family in the north, both sides almost became red-eyed, and a large-scale killing could break out at any time. This was a battle for supremacy between the north and the south of the kingdom, with corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood flowing.

In this case, a large amount of weapons and supplies were sold to unknown people for the sake of immediate small profits. The slightest carelessness may lead to disaster.

"Isn't the Black Hand Leader in Kyoto! Let him negotiate! I believe he will know what to do!" The fat man handed the order book in his hand to the person sent by Isa Mohor to report the news, and asked him to give Hu Kokili called,

"Sir, are you looking for me?" Hu Kesi performed a military salute.

The fat man looked at him with a serious face and said in a serious voice, "Immediately send someone to investigate whether there are any abnormalities in Yin Erdian in the Dehreim area. I don't believe that these Dehreim people will come to Wikiya Kyoto for no reason." Crazy, not to mention that the envoy sent by Mildian's country was also attacked this time. If this is just to make the water more confusing and delay our or everyone else's actions, then I really have to reconsider. Need to stay in Kyoto”

Hu Keqili was shocked by the fat man's words. He didn't expect that the fat man would value these assassins so much. There are thousands of elite troops stationed in Samor. Even if the opponent sends out all their troops, they can't hurt the adults at all. However, Hu Keqili quickly felt relieved, "Yes, the commander of this assassination team can even use his own people if necessary." Do it without hesitation, so ruthless! This is simply perfect! The task has been accomplished. An unscrupulous madman! It is really not a profitable thing to fight against such a madman. Since there is no profit at all, the adults will not be very interested. And from the fat man's words, Hu Keqi had a hunch. The root of this matter may be the distant Dhrim region!"

The fat man here had just ordered an investigation into the Dehreim area, but a short while later, Hu Keqili, who had just accepted the order, trotted in from outside with an anxious face, holding a fiery red military intelligence battle report tightly with his fingers. shouted anxiously

"Sir! This is an urgent report from the Northern Army! At noon the day before yesterday, a heavy infantry regiment of the Sixth Knights of Yin Erdian built a camp in the Yassen Corridor in the north of Djerpo, and an unknown number of people continued to arrive. Cavalry troops are stationed one after another , in order to avoid unexpected situations, Lord Caesar Sauron has urgently mobilized the two flag regiments resting in the territory of the Tire family to go north. Because the other party has a large number of cavalry troops, he has specially sent a request for help to the Legion Headquarters, requesting the Guards Light Cavalry from the Legion Headquarters. reinforce!"

The fat man sneered a few times, his eyes became more solemn when he looked at the emergency battle report, and his lips twitched slightly, obviously very angry. The Yin Erdian people are really good at this, and the Miao Erdian people are playing from Kyoto to Jerbo. distance time difference,

Due to the distance, even with Samor's excellent water transport capabilities, it would have been two days before this report arrived from Djerbo to Kyoto, and even ten days later according to normal land travel time.

By then, the main force of Miao Erdian had already assembled at the border, with the cavalry clearing the way and the infantry behind. The Djerpo area is mostly a plain area, which is a natural killing ground for the Yin Erdian cavalry.

Without the support of the main force and insufficient cavalry, even if the northern army garrison, with the support of two flag regiments, used infantry to fight against the iron hoof spears of the Mildian Heavy Knights, they would not be able to escape the fate of the entire army being annihilated.

By then, even if the fat man rushes to Jerbo day and night, it will be half a month later. The Jerbo area has already been taken over by Miao Erdian.

After a while, the fat man slapped the life-threatening battle report on the table and sneered, "Haha. The elites of Parahan Military Academy are really extraordinary." It made a scene in Kyoto, attracting everyone's attention. Hands, secretly attack our Djerbo area, indeed there are two hands." The fat man gritted his teeth and continued, "If I don't play you to death this time, I won't be Governor Samour! "

Spring rain is like beads, and April is the rainy season for the entire continent. The humid ocean monsoon dispels the cold air and brings abundant rainfall. Large raindrops pour down from the black sky, hitting the gray-white rocks and black muddy ground. , bursts of soil appeared, white flowers splashed,

On both sides of the Satsuma Li River in the north of Djerpo, the Myridian army and the Samor army going south faced each other with a forest of spears. The Samor falcon war flag was flying on the south bank of the river, and the Myridian retinue and infantry were heavily lined up on the north bank. , there is only a stone bridge a few meters wide and more than 30 meters long in the middle. The rushing river water hits the stone bridge pillars, causing billowing waves.

This is the Tutunke Stone Bridge in the north of Djerpo, and the Lijiang River passes by here. Divide the Jerpo soil into two. This is the natural barrier of Jernagan. After learning about the emergency situation of Miao Erdian's heavy troops moving south. Caesar Sauron wisely chose this section of the river that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

The rain was pouring, just like Caesar Sauron's current mood. The Yin Erdian army on the northern river bank has been increasing continuously from morning to now. One squadron, two squadrons, one flag regiment increased to three , then four, five thousand, ten thousand, and now it is close to twenty-five thousand,

The Gangerdian people's formation, which was slightly thin at the beginning, is getting thicker and thicker. It is so dark that it almost crowds the opposite river bank. In terms of total strength, it even exceeds the Samor army on the opposite side. Caesar Sauron raised his head and looked at the blurry rain scene in the distance. The lion and dragon flag of the Yin Erdian Sixth Army disappeared and appeared in the opposite army formation.

Caesar Sauron couldn't figure out the intentions of Commander Yin'erdian on the opposite hillside. He originally wanted to take advantage of this lonely stone bridge and use the powerful long-range attack power of the Samor army to make Yin'erdian's army continue to invest and suffer losses. Let the elite blood of Miao Erdian dye the stone bridge red,

But now it seems that the commander Miao Erdian on the opposite side is very smart. He has not used his superior strength to launch a battle to seize the bridge. Instead, he has stayed there without attacking or retreating. The endless supply of backup troops is like the constant placement of the scales. The neighing of war horses and the noise of soldiers became louder and louder, and a depressing atmosphere enveloped the river bank.

On the east bank of the Satsuma Li River, the Myridian military formation, Appleton, the leader of the Sixth Knights of the Myridian. He also kept calming the irritable war horse under his crotch with his hands. Behind him was a squadron of heavily armored knights. The ferocious heavy horse armor and spears formed a steel pierced wall.

Appleton looked up at the increasingly heavy rain above his head, with a sly smile on his lips. As the commander of the legion stationed in the Dehreim area all year round, he was far more interested in Samour, a newly rising neighbor, than other Yin'er. General Dian is more aware of the powerful long-range attack power of the Samor Army.

In order to understand Samour to the fullest extent. Appleton had obtained several Samor infantry crossbows from secret sources. I found that this weapon seems simple, but in fact it has many internal skills. Even after hiring a large number of skilled craftsmen, no one has been able to copy it. Either the range is too short or the penetration is not enough.

Although these craftsmen did not copy a qualified crossbow, they discovered a weakness of the Samor crossbow.

That's water, in the replication process. Craftsmen discovered that crossbow strings would become damaged when damp or water penetrated them. Becoming weak or breaking the string is the fatal flaw of the Samor crossbow.

"The heavy rain poured down" was really a God-given victory for Miao Erdian. Appleton was very patient. Appleton was waiting, waiting for the Samor heavy crossbow at the Lehou Bridge entrance to get wet, and waiting for the Samor army's most powerful weapon to gradually lose its effect in the rain.

It has been raining heavily all morning. No matter how powerful the Samor army's heavy crossbow is, it will turn into a soft-footed shrimp after a while, without the powerful crossbow. The heavy infantry with which he had an absolute advantage could defeat the opponent in one fell swoop. Appleton was laughing. It seems that he has seen the rich Jalbo Fort opening its door to him,

That's a fat and oily Samour! Just grab it and you'll be able to feed yourself for several years.

Appleton calmed down his excitement, waved to the herald behind him and said, "Order the archers to press forward. The Third Regiment of the Infantry Flag Regiment will begin to climb the bridge!" Because the stone bridge was too narrow and the defensive measures of the Samor Army were unknown. , Upton decided to first invest an infantry flag regiment to explore the road.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo out out out from the other side of the river.

"Heavy crossbow ready!" Caesar Sauron raised his right hand with excitement. It seemed that the Yin Erdians finally lost their composure. The heavy shield soldiers at the front of the Samor army lined up to both sides, revealing the infantry feet held up inside. An elite crossbowman.

Although the heavy rain made the vision in front blurred, the rivers were flooded, and the wind and rain were heavy, the dense arrows emerging from the Samor army column on the opposite side made the Yin Erdian heavy shield soldiers who were about to step onto the stone bridge feel trembling. Shivered. In a life-and-death struggle, the brave one wins when we meet on a narrow road!

"Assault!" Yin Erdian heavy infantry shouted, holding shields and swarming onto the stone bridge. The densely packed heads were like ants wrapped in a ball, and people were crowded together. Shield after shield, the cold rain hit the armor of the soldiers on both sides. The cold water droplets could not extinguish the fire of killing in the hearts of both sides. On the battlefield, either you die or I forget!

"Shoot!" the crossbow captains in the Samor army shouted in unison,

Dense crossbow arrows flew up from the other side of the river, and black arrowheads covered the sky like locusts. The whistling dense arrowheads gathered into a black dragon,

The east and west sides fought each other, knocking over all the Miao Erdian heavy infantry who had no protection from both sides. Because the shield could only protect the front, there was no way to deal with the crossbow arrows coming from the side. They could only watch helplessly as their companions continued to attack. After falling down, the crowded stone bridge became a killing ground for Samor crossbowmen. The Miao Erdian infantry who rushed onto the bridge seemed to have hit an invisible thorn wall, and fell down with arrows inserted all over their bodies. After several rounds of Samor's crossbow fire, the entire stone bridge was covered with corpses, and there was no one left standing.

This bloody and violent scene made everyone in the Yin Erdian army on the other side of the river pale. Although they had known that the heavy crossbow attack of the Samor army was powerful, it was a different feeling to actually see and face it. Thinking of their own bodies being shot by arrows. Hedgehog, I can't help but make Yin Erdian's heart feel cold.

"Very good! Order the second team to come forward." Appleton's face was cold, as if he was not the only one who died on the stone bridge because of his talent. The squadron was surprised. The team just now was just a bunch of cannon fodder. The powerful power of Samor's crossbow made him feel palpitated, but Appleton had already seen the hope of victory.

Just now, Appleton, who was observing carefully, had discovered that the shooting intensity of the Samor crossbows had been greatly weakened. In the last round of shooting, the number of shots fired by the Samor crossbows on the left was seriously insufficient.

Appleton even saw a few weak crossbow arrows falling lightly into the river and drifting away. With such penetrating power, not to mention the heavy armor of medium-heavy knights, even ordinary heavy infantry. can easily resist

A sneer appeared at the corner of Appleton's mouth. The Samor army on the other side of the river was already exhausted! As long as he invests a few more waves of troops, the crossbow bow that Samor is famous for will be completely turned into a pile of junk. At that time, he only needs to invest the elite heavy knights behind him, and the battle will be decided. Samor will lose this battle. !
