Volume 1 The Northeast War Chapter 8 The Battle of the Nu River Ends
But the soldiers thought that the imperial capital Blue City was behind the Nu River, and thought that if they were defeated, their families would be ruined, and they pounced on the half-beast army with a roar.
In front of the dam bridge, the soldiers of the Purple Kingdom gradually reclaimed the occupied bridge section.
Suddenly, the half-beast army launched an illusion, and the overwhelming tide overwhelmed the world, and the tiger guards, who had never seen such an aura, suddenly became in awe.
As soon as the momentum dropped, the half-beast army attacked, and for a while, the bridge was captured by the half-beast army again, devouring the soldiers of the Purple Kingdom step by step.
After the wave, the sky was full of yellow sand and flew with a hundred catties of boulders, and all of a sudden the soldiers of the Purple Kingdom retreated, and the half-beast army was about to break through the dam bridge.
Just at the last moment, Chen Ming shouted: "This is all an illusion, it can't affect us, stabilize your mind and hold the line of defense!" After all, he is the commander who has fought many battles with the half-beast army, and he knows their methods well.
But at this time, the soldiers of the Purple Kingdom were already panicking, and there was still anyone listening to him.
The defeat was like a mountain, and after a while, the dam and bridge had been captured, and at this time the Nu River and Cangjiang River were no longer in danger to defend, even if Chen Ming had the intention to resist, it would be useless, because the retreating soldiers insisted on retreating to the rear with them.
Li Chuan saw that the Cangjiang River, which was garrisoned by nearly 120,000 troops, had been breached, and watched as the soldiers of the Purple Country were chased up and killed by the half-beast army, and fell, his eyes were as red as blood.
"Defeated, defeated. ”
At this time, the army had been defeated, and the soldiers of the Purple Kingdom were fleeing towards the rear with their armor thrown away. At this time, everyone has only one thought.
The Half-Beast Army's offensive is so swift, can Blue City still hold it?
At this point, the end of February and early March of the 178th year of the Purple Kingdom, the defense line of the Nu River and Cangjiang River was lost!
。。。。。。。。。。。。。
On the Nu River, on the Cangjiang Dam, the Great Wizard of the Half-Beast Army, Heihe, the Second Wizard Gudu, the Third Wizard Snake Xixi, the Six Wizard Tiger Roar, and the Half-Beast Army did not pursue.
Because before they came, they also knew about the Purple Country, as long as they crossed the Nu River, even if it was a fast passage to open the gate of the Purple Country, Blue City was just a historical imperial capital of the Purple Country.
In the afternoon, they cleaned up the battlefield, and in the evening, they gathered again and marched forward, because the seven wizards guarding the Witch God Castle came with news that the Demon King was about to wake up.
After receiving the news from the Seven Wizards, the morale of the Half-Beast Army was even higher, and the Great Wizard of the Black River immediately led the Half-Beast Army to advance and prepare to capture the Blue City.
However, in the battle of the Nu River, the 350,000 half-beast army could only continue to fight, and the Purple Country lost 50,000 troops.
More than 30,000 of the 60,000 Southwest Tiger Guards were killed and wounded, less than 10,000 of the 30,000 forbidden troops were lost, the Nu River defenders were killed and wounded, and the Northeast Dragon Guards also lost 3,000.
The news was transmitted back to the imperial capital Blue City, up to the current emperor of the Purple Country, Baya Xintu, down to the three sects and nine streams, all of them were shocked, the purple defense line from the northeast to the Blue City, was defeated so quickly, the enemy army seemed to be not dragging the mud and water at all, and drove straight into the Blue City.
"The Nu River and Cangjiang River are lost, and the Half-Beast Army will arrive in Blue City in a few days, how can this be good?" Baya Xintu, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the Shangshu Pavilion, was a little panicked.
Sitting on both sides were Yang Hua, the president of the Purple State, Li Chuan, the commander of the southwest, Chen Ming, the commander of the northeast, and Lin Shu, the commander of the forbidden army, and Shu Ce, the brother of Liguo.
"The Half-Beast Army can command fierce beasts in addition to all kinds of illusions, and this is what I have learned from many battles with the Half-Beast Army so far, and there is not much else. "Commander Chen Ming has basically said everything about the situation of the half-beast army in this attack.
After hearing this, Ge Shuce asked, "Why did the Half-Beast Army invade my Purple Country on a large scale? The Purple Kingdom has never had a conflict with the Half-Beast Army, what is their purpose?"
"According to Commander Chen, this half-beast clan came out of nowhere, and what their purpose is not the most important thing now, but how to face the invasion of the half-beast army next. Yang Hua followed Ge Shuce's words and continued to ask: "Now that the Blue City Forbidden Army plus the retreat from the Nu River has 30,000, and the royal guards have 5,000, what is your current strength situation?"
Li Chuan: "There are still 20,000 Southwest Tiger Guards. ”
Chen Ming: "There are less than 10,000 Dragon Guards in the Northeast Army. ”
"Li Chuan, you said that there are still 20,000 Tiger Guards, why are there less than 20,000 people entering the city?" Yang Hua suddenly asked.
When Baya Xintu and Ge Shuce heard this question, they were shocked in their hearts, Li Chuan dared to hide soldiers privately!
"Your Majesty, listen to me slowly. Li Chuan said calmly: "In the battle of the Nu River, our army suffered heavy losses, but from beginning to end I have never seen the fierce beast battle that Commander Chen Ming said, except for the mixed battle of water snakes, and the half-beast army is to build wooden boats to cross the river, and the beasts naturally cannot be transported, so the minister believes that these fierce beasts will inevitably bypass the Nu River and take the mountain road to the Blue City, so after the Nu River was lost, I sent three thousand soldiers to cross the Nu River in a roundabout way to find the enemy beasts to prevent the beasts from joining the battlefield It is not good for our army. ”
"Commander Li Chuan thought it through. Ge Shuce cast a trusting glance at Li Chuan.
Baya Xintu said the most worried point.
"Will Blue City be able to hold off the attack of the Half-Beast Army?"
Chen Ming shook his head, Li Chuan frowned, and suddenly fell silent.
"Your Majesty, for the sake of your safety, it is recommended that you retreat to the rear first, and the Blue City Ministers and others will do their best to drive back the Half-Beast Clan. Yang Hua said suddenly.
For Baya Xintu, this year is only twelve, and he is still young, although Yang Hua's remarks are timid, but they are the best protection for Baya Xintu.
"Your Majesty, the old minister also thinks that what Yang Hua said is reasonable, the Baya royal family only has your bloodline, if there is an accident in the Blue City, the old minister is ashamed of the entrustment to the emperor!"
Baya Xintu heard Ge Shuce and Yang Hua say this, and he also thought that he had stepped back, since he took the throne, he had been frightened and had not made any political achievements.
Li Chuan and Chen Ming naturally knew that the current emperor was young, but the Purple Kingdom was now facing an unimaginable disaster, the half-beast clan had already occupied the northeast, and the emperor didn't think about the way to stop the enemy's recovery, but thought about retreating to the rear of the battlefield, and couldn't help but feel cold.
"Behind the Blue City is Baya, what does Your Majesty think?" Yang Hua asked.
Baya Xintu looked at Goshuze, and Goshuce nodded.
"Then go to Baya, and the Blue City will be handed over to the commanders. Baya Xintu looked at the few people present with solemn eyes.
The Purple Country is facing a great enemy, but Baya Xintu is thinking about retreating first, completely ignoring the safety of the people of Blue City, this move Li Chuan and Chen Ming saw in their eyes, and they were very disappointed in Baya Xintu, the emperor.
And the half-beast army camp is here.
The Great Wizard Heihe, the Second Wizard Gudu, the Four Wizards Snake Xixi, and the Six Wizards Tiger Roar.
"The seventh sister sent a message that the demon king is abnormal, and it urgently needs to be repaired by the witch's blood, otherwise the demon king will not be able to wake up, and our witch clan will be completely under a curse and cannot recover. ”
"Great wizard, how is that good!" Tiger Roar was a little flustered, and he looked extremely terrifying when he was in a hurry.
"As long as we obtain the blood of the witch and let the demon king enter a hundred years of sleep, the curse on our body will naturally be broken!" Hei He's black robe covered him, and he couldn't see the figure under the cover.
Gu Du was not as impatient as the tiger roared, but calmly analyzed: "The soldiers of the Purple Kingdom are better equipped than our half-beast clan, and it will take some time for our beasts to make a detour, when does the Great Wizard think he will attack Blue City?"
In the first battle of the Nu River, although the Purple Army fought against the 350,000 troops of the Half-Beast Clan with 120,000, the Purple Country only suffered 50,000 casualties, and the casualties of the Half-Beast Clan were twice as many as those of the Purple Country, which was because the Half-Beast Clan had no armor protection.
"We must get the demon blood in half a month!" Heihe said firmly.
"But we've lost a lot of people after a series of battles, is this a price to get back the demon blood value?" said Snake Xixi with some heartache.
Heihe's black robe seemed to ponder for a while before saying: "Compared with the current death and the awakening of the demon king, all the sacrifices are worth it, if the sacrifices of these clansmen can make other clansmen break the curse, I believe that the clansmen will definitely choose the latter." ”
"By the way, the illusion of the day before yesterday suddenly failed, what is the reason for the investigation?" Heihe suddenly asked again.
"Not yet, some time ago, my tiger herd suddenly lost control, will something happen?" Tiger Roar said worriedly.
"Don't worry about these for the time being, pass the order, rush to the Blue City, and fight quickly!"
So, the half-beast army rushed towards the blue city.
——————
Blue City, Li House.
"Li Si, don't you go out to take a look when you come back?" Li Chuan shouted as soon as he entered the courtyard.
Hearing this, the house ran seven feet tall and wore the majestic armor of the forbidden army, this person was Li Si.
"Dad, you're back, where is the third brother?"
"The half-beast army is attacking and fighting all the way, where can I take care of him. Li Chuan waved his hand and said: "It's okay not to say it, as soon as I say it, I will be angry, you said that a good person is handed over to you, why did such a big thing happen?"
Li Si had a bitter look on his face: "Dad, you don't know, Lu Qi is arrogant and self-righteous, I haven't fully gained Yang Hua's trust in the forbidden army, last time I took my third brother into the palace, halfway Yang Hua said that he had something important to say to me, and then asked Li Daxiao to take him into the palace, I didn't expect such a thing to happen." ”
"This time it's also Qi'er's luck, he didn't die after a trip to Changping Yuan, if he dies, how can I be worthy of his mother's trust." Li Chuanzou frowned, and his forehead could form a Sichuan character.
"Qi'er, this kid's life is hard, and now he is suffering from such crimes, I hope he can see it, maybe he can be like his father in the future!"
For Lu Qi, Li Chuan didn't know what he wanted from him, he hoped that he could make contributions like his father, but he didn't want him to end up like his father.
"Dad, is the third brother your own son?" Li Si asked puzzled.
"Who are you listening to, why don't you hurry up and find him, I will arrange the people on the labor side in the third battalion of the Tiger Guards, find him and bring him back, let him not go out, the half-beast army is about to attack Blue City, I will go to the barracks when I come back to get something." Li Chuan pointed at Li Si and scolded, and then commanded.
Li Si naturally knew the news that the half-beast army was going to come in, and he was going to escort Baya Xintu to Baya City at night, and he was pressed for time, so he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went out.
And speaking of Lu Qi, although he didn't go to the battlefield in Wuyang, he could be regarded as seeing the ruthlessness of the battlefield, and then under the Twin Peaks, he also joined the battlefield and killed a few half-orcs, and later in the Nu River, although he didn't have the opportunity to play in the back, he also began to boil with blood, and he seemed to find that he liked the taste of blood, which was the taste of the battlefield.
After the Nu River was lost, he saw his father-in-law Li Chuan from a distance, only to see Li Chuan wearing red armor, straddle the war horse and gallop to retreat, and thinking of what he had done in the Blue City and the bastard things he committed in the palace, he had no face and did not dare to see him, and then followed the other three thousand soldiers and left, and did not return to the Blue City.
He followed the troops for about three days before stopping, and he didn't know where he went, so he asked someone: "Your Excellency, why didn't we go back to Blue City, but went northeast?"
"Your Excellency, don't you know that this mission is to stop the half-orc beast herd from coming to the blue city, and buy time for the half-beast clan to deal with the blue city. "The person who talked to Lu Qi was also a big-headed soldier, but he was much older than him, Lu Qi was only seventeen years old this year, and looking at his burly body, he was at least twenty-seven or eighteen.
"Your Excellency joined the army at such a young age?"
"Alas, I don't want to either, but I saw a beautiful woman taking a bath, and I came in a daze. "Lu Qi really didn't know how he got involved in this war.
"Little baby, have you fought with an orc, have you been scared to pee your pants?"
Lu Qi was disdainful when he heard this: "Go, I haven't seen any scenes, I'll tell you the truth, I not only fought with the half-beast army, but also killed several orcs!"
"Heh, looking at the small body, you can still kill orcs?" someone teased.
"What's the matter, don't believe it, don't believe the old man, we have two tricks?" Lu Qi said with a smile.
In the Blue City before, I haven't been in contact with these characters, they are all bad teenagers eating, drinking and having fun, either going to the land of fireworks or knocking on the door of the widow's house, but since being exiled to the northeast, there are too many things that have happened, although it is only less than a month, but Lu Qi can be regarded as figuring out how to fight with these people in this kind of place, just to tell some yellow jokes or interesting stories.
"After two moves, right, I don't think it's necessary, let's just break our wrists, if you lose, you have to call the other party Daddy, do you dare to compare?" The big-headed soldier commander is actually still very strong, although he said that he has grown a little longer and is a little older than he is anxious, but after all, he is a young man, and Lu Qi's old and immortal voice poked him in the heart, and he was going to draw a dao to compare and compare at the moment.
Lu Qi was already arrogant, how could he admit defeat, but when he was about to agree, he suddenly had a swelling pain in his stomach, and his face seemed to be embarrassed as if he was holding his breath, so he said: "Compare and compare, but you have to wait for the master to come back and then compare, you sit here and wait for the master to come back." ”
As he spoke, he ran away and looked for a convenient place.
In the eyes of others, it was a real fear of running away.
After all, Lu Qi had been in the Li Mansion in Blue City, and he had received the so-called higher education, so he would not be able to find a spacious place to solve people's three urgent things, and ran a few hundred meters in one go, and then followed the path all the way up a hillside, and squatted down in a bush of grass and trees.
Hey, the Northeast is really not a fucking good place, this pants are blown cold in the north, and half of his ass is frozen red, but Lu Qi can't feel it, but after crackling and solving it, he moaned a few times comfortably.
After solving the problem, he stretched his waist and looked into the distance, startling him, countless groups of fierce beasts rushed towards him like a mountain and a sea, and he almost lost his soul when he saw this scene, but fortunately, the cold wind in winter blew in time, and he immediately woke up.
Hurriedly ran back to the resting position, everyone saw Lu Qi come back, and was about to step forward to count a few times, when suddenly the ground shook, and in front of them were first a hundred or so orcs riding war horses, followed by rows of wolves pressing the formation, in the middle there were tigers holding their minions, and finally the queen of the giant elephant hall, rushing in the direction of Blue City in an orderly manner.
When the three thousand soldiers saw such a scene, they were stunned at first, it was obvious that the tiger guards in the southwest had never seen the beasts attacking the city, but Lu Qi had seen it, and suddenly shouted: "Run, this is a half-orc herd, and it will definitely be unlucky to meet them." ”
