Yaki's hot wind is the same as ever, it has been sweeping over the land since humans set foot on the land to establish settlements, and this hot wind blowing on people does not bring the slightest coolness to people, but it can make people's blood boil.
On a nameless mound, a knight sits on horseback and looks into the distance. The man looked to be in his early twenties, with slightly curly hair and light wheat-colored skin, which was really lackluster in terms of appearance, especially the three terrible scars on his face, from his forehead to the end of the right side of his face. The strange eyes are even more striking, his left eye is black, and his right eye is dark blue. In the past few years, this characteristic of his appearance has spread throughout Yaqui, and he is the husband of Queen Alfret of Palchi, Prince Li Tianhao of Dils.
Li Tianhao, who is twenty-six years old this year, looks slightly younger than his actual age, but he is filled with a majesty that makes ordinary people tremble, which he has gradually accumulated in the past eight years of his career as a horseman. Just eight years ago, he was a very amiable teenager with an innocent smile, and now his smile is still bright, but he usually has an inviolable majesty. It's no wonder that eight years ago he was just an exiled merchant wanted by Yaqui, and eight years later he was the commander of an army of 200,000 and the real power of Palci. With almost all the talents of Palci, Dils, Nubia, and Yaqui under his command, the once mighty empire of Yaki is now his easy prey, and what he now looks at is Memphis, Yaki's last capital.
Located at the southernmost tip of the Namra Delta, this ancient city is a strategic point for the region. It has existed as a fortress since its inception, and has evolved over the years to become one of the largest cities in Yaqui, but it has never had the military value of an abandoned fortress, and although the expanded walls are not particularly strong, its inner city is still built on the basis of the original fortress, which is notoriously strong. Even Li Tianhao, who has an absolute superior strength, cannot be said to be able to take the city easily.
Under the persuasion of the second chief of staff, Brooks. Figor, the chief priest entrenched in the temple of the god Ra, submitted to Palci on the condition that one of them would be self-defeating and the others would be spared, and the priests of the god Ra all turned to submit to the rule of the high priest of Ankadirme. As a result, the remaining priest army also joined the Palchi army, and the 40,000 men of Brooks and Wei Song were able to smoothly move north to join Li Tianhao's siege force; Further north, during the assault on the port of Arizenda, Gernus and Hector also succeeded in clearing the Nara River delta and encircling the enemy in the port of Arizander. It should be said that the time is ripe to attack Memphis, but Li Tianhao has not given the order for a general attack for a long time, because he is still waiting for one thing, that is, all the siege equipment is completed.
Dominated by Pocker. A new type of weapon developed by Wei Song and Yamoga is being intensified. It was an improved type of catapult, and after careful investigation and experimentation, Pokel developed this catapult based on the wood of the subbasic land, except that the range was slightly closer to that of the Paz catapult, the production process was simplified, the loading speed was increased by 30%, and it was also easy for soldiers to operate. Therefore, in the final battle against Yaji, Li Tianhao decided to make 500 of these catapults to reduce unnecessary casualties among the soldiers. With these catapults, it should be easy to blast through the impenetrable outer walls of Memphis. Five hundred catapults could then attack the inner city walls with an unprecedented density of attacks.
Due to the short range of these catapults, they are difficult to move once they are in place. Therefore, if the enemy army in the city attacked, it would be easy to destroy it, and the Battle of Memphis was just too much to avoid this embarrassment, because the number of Yaqui troops in the city was only a little more than 10,000, and in the face of an enemy ten times his size, a rash attack was tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. Müller, who was in charge of making the catapults, said that it would take three days at most to complete the work, and what Li Tianhao wanted to see most now was the last moment when the 500 catapults were erected. A frightened look on the face of the Yaki Army in the city.
"It's been eight years, Father, and it's finally coming to an end." Li Tianhao whispered to a certain place in the sky.
"Boss, boss! How did you get here? ”
A familiar voice interrupted Li Tianhao's mourning for his deceased relatives, and he turned his horse's head and galloped towards him all the way. His apprentice Alam said, "I still want to ask you, what are you doing here!" ”
Alam ran to him, reined in the horse's head, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and complained: "Boss, you didn't say hello to me when you came out, but Mr. Wei Song found out and reprimanded me, saying that what if you encounter the Yaki Army alone?" As a result, I slipped around and finally found you, so go back with me. ”
Li Tianhao couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "How dare the Yaji Army attack easily? Besides, even if they come out, I'm not afraid, what's even more ridiculous is that you came alone, may I ask if I really encountered the Yaki Army, and you arrived in time, the situation would be different? ”
Regarding Li Tianhao's sarcasm, Alam was completely silent: "Boss, it's not right for you to talk like this." Indeed, I also think that ordinary Yaqui Army can't help you, but what if it's the Count of Libera? It's not going to be good, is it? I don't think you're going to lose to Libera, but I'm afraid it's hard to say with his men, right? With my help, even if the other party brings a thousand men, the two of us can make sure that we can defeat them. ”
"Doesn't it seem like you've made a lot of progress in bragging? I think you're going to be a second in Senas in the future. ”
"Where," Alam continued, unashamedly said, "Boss, wait and see, my braggadocio will definitely surpass Lord Xenas, and in the future people will call Lord Xenas the second in Alam." ”
"It's shameless, you've lost your interest. Let's go, let's go back. Li Tianhao shook his head helplessly.
Alam continued to gush in the back: "This is not my ultimate goal, my highest goal is that people will praise my swordsmanship in the future, and then call the boss the second of Alam." ”
"That's the kind of thing you can talk about after you win Libera and defeat Senas and me. In my opinion, it is unknown whether you can beat Eglius at the moment. ”
"Boss, you should also try to give your apprentice some encouragement, blindly hitting will hurt the apprentice's young and fragile heart."
"I'm not so confused as to praise the brazen people who climb up the pole."
"Boss ??????"
The endless bickering between the two masters and apprentices was wafting in the hot wind of Yaki, and judging from the content of the conversation alone, it was really impossible to imagine that these were two generals who led the army, let alone connect with the bloody storm that was coming.
