Chapter 909: Killer King Haide
Hyde rode on a huge warhorse, his thin body growing smaller and smaller on the broad back of the horse.
In front of Hyde, tens of thousands of elite Crusader cavalry at Zhenshui Pass were rushing frantically.
As each of the cavalrymen passed by Hyde, they felt a pair of sharp eyes staring at them, as if a knife had scraped over their bodies, and their backs were cold.
Behind Hyde, dozens of silent generals followed, all of whom looked at the thin back in front of them in awe.
No one dares to despise him, because he is the murderer Hyde.
In the Han Empire, no one knew who Hyde was, but in the Kingdom of Heaven, Hyde was a very prosperous figure, and even no one dared to call Hyde by his name.
Hyde was born into a very humble birth, the illegitimate child of a prostitute, and no one knew who his father was, because of his special birth, as a teenager, Hyde was a very withdrawn child, he had few friends, he never even talked to people, and was once mistaken for a mute.
While in prison, Hyde had murdered seventy-six people, including a 2-year-old baby. At the age of 10, he developed three childhood traits that could lead to a serial killer: wetting the bed at an age when it shouldn't be, being brutal to animals, and setting fires.
Some people say that Hyde, like Du Juan, is inherently evil.
At the age of thirteen, Hyde showed an amazing talent for killing, crafting a tiny crossbow of incredible power without anyone's help, and he liked to sneak into someone's home at night, then shoot or strangle adult males, violently, murder, and dismember women and children, and then put his emblem on the wall, on the mirror, and even on the dead when he was done. When he was caught, he maintained his usual arrogance.
By the time Hyde was seventeen years old, he had seventy-six lives in his hands, seventeen of whom were clergy members of the church.
Hyde's story is so mysterious and dramatic that no one knows where he learned his skills.
In the Kingdom of Heaven, there is a death penalty, and it stands to reason that a person like Hyde will die a thousand times, but Hyde did not die, because there are too many death row prisoners in the Kingdom of Heaven, and it will be Hyde's turn at least twenty years later......
……
While Hyde was waiting for the death penalty in prison, during a prisoner's dinner, Hyde killed in anger because the food was unpalatable, and his killing tool was a sharpened volcanic stone, and in just a few incense sticks, he killed twenty-nine felons, and the fatal parts of those prisoners were in the carotid artery.
That murder incident made Hyde's murder exceed 100, and he became famous in prison, becoming the spiritual idol of many criminals.
Hyde is silent, but has a strange charm, many people are willing to obey his orders, in prison, in addition to his freedom, he is the king, even some prison guards, do not dare to offend him easily.
It stands to reason that even if Hyde does not carry out the death penalty, he will never want to get out of prison for the rest of his life, but God seems to be particularly concerned about this perverted killer.
Once, there was a turmoil in the kingdom of heaven, and some forces tried to overthrow the regime, and in order to avoid the spread of the situation, it was decided to secretly assassinate.
Because there are many masters around the opponent, and the assassination mission cannot be leaked, in the end, it was decided to select warriors in prison, and if the task is completed, you can get the monarch's pardon.
In fact, this is an assassination mission with no return, and even if the mission is completed, the possibility of coming back alive is extremely zero, but Hyde came back unharmed.
This brilliant mission allowed Hyde to make a name for himself in the military, which began to use Hyde to assassinate some of the opposition forces.
At the beginning, the military hoped that Hyde would die during a certain mission, and this hot potato was naturally solved, but Hyde's luck was surprisingly good, not only did he complete all the tasks, but he also had a large number of fans in the military.
In the assassination mission after assassination, the core power of the Haide Dynasty is getting closer and closer, and when it comes to the invasion of the Han Empire, Haide has repeatedly made military exploits, the imperial military propaganda, and Haide has been inspired by God to change his evil and become a high-powered general.
Hyde's brutal nature is undoubtedly revealed in the Han Empire, every time the city is attacked, as long as the resistance is fierce, after the city is broken, the city will be slaughtered for three days, the corpses are piled up, the blood is flowing like a river, the people of the Han Empire, as long as they hear the name of Hyde, they will be terrified and flee......
……
Hyde was in a bad mood, for he had already received the news that General Milley and General Rossi had died on the battlefield and were hanging on their heads.
In the army, Hyde had only one friend, and that was General Milley.
General Milley can be said to have contributed to Hyde's ability to get to where he is today, because it was General Milley's idea to dig Hyde out of prison back then, and he recommended Hyde to lead troops to fight, and it was also General Milley.
It can be said that if it were not for General Milley, there would be no Hyde who is in the scenery today.
Undefeated God of War!
Hyde's thin cheeks showed a hint of ferocity.
From the moment he set foot on the territory of the Han Empire, Haide began to pay attention to Zhou Sen, and he knew everything about Zhou Sen clearly.
Hyde doesn't pay attention to Zhou Sen because he has built a historical feat, but because he is the hottest figure on the bandit list.
Bandits.
Killer King!
In Hyde's view, he has too many similarities with Zhou Sen, not only are they both bad people who have gone from the most evil people to the stage of power, but also they are both extremely vicious people who are surprisingly lucky.
All along, Hyde boasted of being a bandit who was taken care of by God......
Four hours, it was not easy to get to Bafang City, because more than an hour had passed by the time Hyde received General Milley's letterhead.
However, this is not difficult for Hyde.
In the crusaders, Hyde is synonymous with cold-bloodedness, few words, cold temperament, extremely strict management of the army, often whipping his subordinates, angering others, up and down, the slightest carelessness, will be splashed with blood five steps, even some senior generals of his same rank, he is afraid to avoid him.
During a siege battle, Hyde personally supervised the army on the front line, he found that someone was hiding behind and was sluggish, and was immediately arrested, and then, after the victory of the city break, he personally operated the knife and tortured several soldiers to death, the bloody scene made the soldiers fighting on the battlefield scattered.
In more than a year, the Crusaders who died at the hands of Hyde, not a thousand, but five hundred, mentioned the name of General Hyde, and the Crusaders all changed color.
After several hours of rapid marching, the 50,000 Crusader cavalry were exhausted, but no one dared to stop, because a pair of vicious eyes seemed to be staring at them all the time......
……
It's getting dark.
Bafang City is getting closer and closer.
A hint of vigilance rose in Hyde's heart, because it was so quiet that the insects, snakes and ants seemed to be dead, and it was suffocating.
There is no doubt that Hyde's military talent is extremely high, and he has been able to be invincible in this year's time, not by luck, but by real strength.
It is precisely because of Hyde's amazing military talent that General Gore let him take charge alone, and it is precisely for this reason that General Gore loves and hates him, after all, Hyde is too cruel to soldiers, although he can fight, he has no general's style, and he is inferior......
……
There is no doubt that this is a huge ambush circle.
Although Hyde was brutal, he was not impatient, and even more calm than many high-ranking generals, even in the midst of thousands of troops, he was able to think carefully.
When he approached the four miles of Bafang City, Haide was already sure that the bandit Zhou Sen had already set up an ambush for him, and now, he was only waiting for him to get into the ambush circle.
A grim evil smile tugged at the corner of Hyde's mouth.
In the eyes of the crusaders, Hyde rushed to Bafang City in a hurry to rescue General Milley, but in fact, Hyde had long known that General Milley was dead, and he was not eager to avenge General Milley, but to prevent Zhou Sen from escaping.
Now, Bafang City is approaching, and Hyde is not in a hurry.
Ambush Circle!
If he attacked the city now, he would definitely fall into an ambush, but Hyde never thought about attacking the city at this time, because at this time, the sky was just bright, the line of sight was not good, and at this time, Bafang City was waiting for work, and the Crusaders were exhausted, and even if they were victorious, they would pay a heavy price.
It has to be said that Hyde is a rare military genius, and when he was in Zhenshui Pass, he had already decided to set up camp after rushing to Bafang City, trapping hundreds of thousands of refugees in Bafang City......
The dawn shrouded the entire Octagon City in a veil of mystery.
The Crusader cavalry had long been scouting and gathering information.
Information continued to flow from far and wide into Hyde's makeshift tent.
Hyde stepped out of the tent and stood in the doorway.
Sunrise.
The sunrise in the hinterland of the Han Empire is the most majestic and magnificent...... Suddenly, a thin parabola rose from the inky blue clouds, and this line was bright red and shimmering with golden light, like a boiling solution, and then rushed upwards like a rocket.
Hyde looked up at the sky, but he was not in the mood to see this magnificent sunrise, because he was thinking.
Wrong.
This Bafang City has a mysterious atmosphere.
What was most incomprehensible to Hyde was that some of the soldiers riding the Black-Winged Kunpeng seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and so far, he had not received any information from the air.
In the more than a year of war, Hyde is very aware of the importance of air intelligence, the crusaders were able to defeat the fierce soldiers of the Han Empire, completely thanks to the understanding of the dynamics of the Han Empire's army, often able to use their strengths and avoid weaknesses, and concentrate superior forces to attack the opponent, if the advantage of the black-winged Kunpeng is lost, the two armies will face each other, and I really don't know who will kill the deer, after all, the army of the Han Empire is not easy to mess with, especially those who are strong, their combat effectiveness is extremely terrifying, and all of them are invincible. Just by killing the three great gods of the Han Empire, the crusaders lost a number of masters.
What intrigues will the other side have?
Hyde knew Zhou Sen very well, and he knew that Zhou Sen was extremely thoughtful, and in his life as an outlaw, there were hardly any major mistakes.
There is no doubt that this is a formidable opponent.
Hyde was convinced that no matter how powerful Zhou Sen was, he would never be able to use hundreds of thousands of refugees against his elite Crusader cavalry, armed to the teeth.
In Hyde's opinion, this time it was not a battle of luck between him and Zhou Sen, because he had an absolute advantage.
Perhaps many people don't know what the concept of 50,000 cavalry is.
In the battles of the past year, a cavalry of thousands of men of the Heavenly Crusaders defeated tens of thousands of soldiers of the Han Empire.
While Hyde was thinking, at the same time, Zhou Sen was also thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of the crusaders and the Han Empire's army, because if you want to recover the Han rivers and mountains, just relying on Zhou Sen's courage will not help at all.
The main force of the Crusader army was the rangers, that is, the light cavalry, with one man, two horses or three horses, with super power and endurance, and the large corps mostly used drag tactics. The main force of the Han Empire was the infantry squadron, which was good at frontal attack, and the cavalry was mainly used for reconnaissance and the chariot was responsible for outflanking. In the past year, the millions of troops of the Han Empire have been dragged to death, and the heavy cavalry has been dragged to death by the light cavalry. The Han army had no chance of winning a decisive battle in the field, not to mention, because of the black-winged Kunpeng, the crusaders had an asymmetric advantage in the mastery of intelligence.
Faced with the superiority of the Crusaders, it was almost impossible for the Han Empire to defeat the Crusaders.
Unless......
Unless it is also dragged in a towing way.
The most advantageous way for the Han Empire was to use the city as a base to bring in, outflank it, and then use the mobile troops to raid the old nest and use the resources of the whole country to kill the crusaders.
The problem is that now that the Han Empire has completely fallen, it is no longer feasible to use cities as a base to introduce outflanking and the like.
Leaving aside other reasons, the Han Empire had obvious strategic advantages, great national potential, richer resources, a large population, great strategic depth, and higher war potential.
In Zhou Sen's view, the Han Empire almost perished for too many reasons, both institutional and military, and the root cause was the inherent disadvantage of the farming people to the nomads, and after losing the vast territory, it was even more difficult for the Han Empire to form cavalry units that could compete with it.
Thinking of cavalry, Zhou Sen thought of the powerful military industry of the five star fields, there is no doubt that the cavalry of the Crusaders is similar to a mecha-like existence, mobile and flexible, and highly aggressive.
Now, the Han Empire has lost its strategic depth, and it is no longer possible to form a large-scale cavalry confrontation, and the only reliance is on the hundreds of millions of people of the Han Empire.
If the Han Empire is full of smoke, then no matter how strong the crusaders are, they will not be able to resist the ants biting the elephant to death.
The problem is that it is not easy to get the people of the Han Empire to engage in a campaign against the crusaders!
A wry smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Sen's mouth.
No one knows the people better than Zhou Sen, because he has been messing around in the Shen Jiadong compound for a long time, and for the people at the bottom of society, they don't care who rules who is whom, they just need to have a bowl of rice to eat.
In fact, the interests of the ruling class have no meaning with the interests of the people at the bottom, and it is precisely for this reason that when the Han Empire was defeated, few of the people of the empire stood up to resist.
Unless......
Zhou Sen thought of "unless" again.
Unless, the crusaders acted perversely and adopted iron-blooded tyranny, which made the people of the Han Empire feel the crisis, and when life and death were at stake, there would naturally be countless people with lofty ideals who dared to stand up and resist.
Let the people of the Han Empire resist spontaneously, even Zhou Sen, who is a strong point, feels a little unreliable.
At present, Zhou Sen believes that the only chance for the Han Empire to turn defeat into victory is the Xiongnu.
Because, the Huns are also a nation on horseback, subconsciously, Zhou Sen glanced back at Fan Ni'er who was bathed in the golden morning sun, and Fan Ni'er, who was wearing a bathrobe, was formed by the golden sunlight into an extremely beautiful silhouette......
……
Finally, the first rays of sunlight pierced the darkness.
Hyde looked at Bafang City bathed in golden sunlight, and above the head of Bafang City, stood a young man with long hair in golden armor.
Zhou Sen.
Undefeated God of War.
Hyde's icy gaze suddenly became extremely sharp, and the fierce battle intent boiled in the air.
Almost at the same time, Zhou Sen's deep gaze also fell on Hyde.
Although the two were miles apart, they seemed to be close to each other.
Hyde was murderous.
Zhou Sen smiled.
Why is he laughing?
Am I being tricked?
Looking at the golden-armored long-haired young man standing on the city wall like a mountain, Hyde was puzzled, he thought of countless possibilities, but he couldn't think of any way for Zhou Sen to defeat him.
Theoretically, as long as he does not move and takes advantage of the Rangers, it is impossible for the opponent to cause harm to him, even if he is strategically against the sky.
In a sense, as long as Hyde does not forcibly attack the city, he is already invincible.
Inexplicably, Hyde had a hint of anxiety on his face.
If it had been before, Hyde would never have been in this situation, because the Crusaders were very aware of the movement of troops and horses of the Han Empire, but now, the Black-winged Kunpeng has lost its effect, and all the scouts sent out have disappeared.
The Crusaders can be said to know nothing about Bafang City, like a blind man touching an elephant, which has never happened in the previous confrontation with the soldiers and horses of the Han Empire, which also makes Hyde feel extremely uncomfortable.
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of horses' hooves.
Under the morning sun, Hyde saw that the scout was rushing towards him in a panic, and vaguely, Hyde had a bad premonition.
"General, general is not good......" The cavalryman turned over and dismounted dozens of feet away, and rushed to Hyde's body to pray.
Katsa!
Hyde's scimitar was pulled out in half, revealing a shiny blade.
"General, the embankment from the Huangshi Reservoir in Bafang City has been dug up, and the water will soon overflow under Bafang City." The soldier shuddered and hurriedly prayed.
"What...... The Yellowstone Reservoir has burst its embankment......"
"Oops......"
“……”
Before Hyde could speak, a group of generals behind him had already become a mess.
"Those who shake the morale of the army will be killed"
Brush!
Hyde screamed, the scimitar came out of its sheath, and the bright scimitar drew a bright line in the air, and finally, the line fell on the soldier's neck, and the soldier was just about to open his mouth to speak, but the head had already landed, and a pair of big eyes stared blankly at the sky, dead and blind.
In the distance, there was a commotion, and it was clear that the water from the Yellowstone Reservoir was already approaching the camp.
Around Hyde, there was a suffocating silence.
No one dared to challenge Hyde's authority, and in the eyes of the Crusader generals, Hyde was not a large army with troops, but a criminal who regarded life as a mustard, but no one dared to speak out.
"Don't panic, everyone, the water level of the Huangshi Reservoir is not high, and the terrain of Bafang City is flat and vast, a small Huangshi Reservoir is impossible to flood this Bafang City. In addition, the city of Bafang is lower than we are, and if the Crusaders were to be flooded, it would be the city of the eight directions that would be flooded first. ”
"General Hyde is right, our Marco military division said that even if all the water from the Yellowstone Reservoir is released, it will only submerge to the position of the horse's legs."
"Hahaha...... It's just the position of the horse's legs. ”
"It turns out that Marco has known for a long time."
“……”
At the mention of Marco's military division, a group of generals immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and the originally solemn atmosphere was much more relaxed, and people joked with each other.
Even if the water floods the Bafang City, the Crusaders still have an absolute advantage, because the Crusaders are all cavalry, and the horses they ride are all high-headed horses, and if Marco's military division says that the water will only flood the horse's legs, it will never drown the horse's belly.
In the Kingdom of Heaven, people have an almost blind worship of Marco's military master.
The water gradually flooded under the Bafang Castle.
Hyde's high-pressure tactics combined with the persuasiveness of Marco's words stabilized the originally rioting crusaders, and the soldiers began to systematically withdraw to higher ground......
As the riots subsided, Hyde stared at the golden-armoured long-haired young man above the tower.
Hyde is empathetic.
Hyde had to deduce the other party's intentions.
Why should the other party do something that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves? You must know that digging up the Huangshi Reservoir will not do Bafang City the slightest benefit......
