Chapter 545: The Battle of the Royal Court
"Okay, I got it. The young man put his sword into its sheath, and immediately got up and dressed himself, and strode out of the tent. This young man is naturally Han Yi, after a year, his accumulated military merits have made him rise to the commander of the forward battalion, leading a battalion of 300 people.
That night, 300 men rode out of Longguan City and headed west. After a night of running, Han Yi led the forward battalion to Mingquan Sand, where they hid behind the sand dunes, waiting for the Blue Wolf Tribe's men to pass by.
At this time, not far from Mingquansha, there was an army of about 500 people approaching. They were all dressed in gray fur coats and hats, and half of their faces were covered with black cloth to protect them from the wind and sand.
"Commander, here they are. ”
Two black-clad scouts rushed up to the sand dunes and came to Han Yi's side to report.
"Wang Tong, give the order to go down and prepare to attack. ”
"Yes, General. "Han Yi's original Wu Chang Wang Tong has now become his guard.
The three hundred people behind him received the order, and they all pulled out the steel knives on the horseback, and all of them looked serious and did not dare to make any sound. All the war horses were sealed with their mouths, and there was a dead silence on the surrounding sand dunes, and even the sound of the wind seemed to be silenced by this solemn atmosphere, which was inaudible.
Seeing that the five hundred centaurs of the Blue Wolf Department entered the attack range, Han Yi suddenly raised the steel knife in his hand.
"Kill—"
With a hard grip on his legs, the war horse immediately rushed out.
"Kill-" An earth-shattering shout of killing sounded behind the sand dunes, and the people of the Blue Wolf Division passing below were startled and immediately became a little flustered.
All they saw was a large herd of warhorses rushing down from the sand dunes on the left, with an unparalleled momentum. Soon, the two sides collided together, swords and soldiers collided, and blood splattered everywhere.
Han Yi was like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the core of the Blue Wolf Army, and wherever he passed, no one was his general.
"Stop him, stop him. When the leader of the Blue Wolf Clan saw Han Yi rushing towards him, he was like a killing god, and the momentum made him pale and roared in panic.
The surrounding cavalry immediately rushed towards Han Yi, but those guys couldn't hinder him at all. The steel knife cut off one figure after another, and he quickly rushed to the leader of the green wolf tribe, slashed it with a knife, and threw his huge head into the air.
......
Seven years later, the Eagle Ministry of the Royal Court.
An army of 100,000 surrounded the stone-built city and attacked it frantically. The shouts of killing and screams came one after another, and the tide shook the heavens and the earth.
"Battering ram, out. ”
In the middle of the army, on the tower of a mobile city, a middle-aged general wearing silver armor and a cyan wind calmly issued an order. The herald immediately waved the command flag, and the three centaurs immediately rushed out, gathered together, and the men and horses on the left and right sides raised their circular shields to form a moving steel fortress and slowly advance.
"Arrow battalion, salvo cover. ”
The order flag waved again, and in the rear of the army, the bows of the four 3,000 divine arrow battalions on the left and right sides were like a full moon, and 12,000 arrows flew into the sky, turning into a dense rain of arrows.
"Snort-" In an instant, countless Eagle soldiers fell under the rain of arrows. The soldiers who were still alive all hid and did not dare to come forward at all.
"Boom—" There was a loud bang, and the entire city wall shook violently.
In the tower, the faces of the warriors of the Eagle Department who were in charge of the command changed greatly.
"No, they used battering rams. He stood up abruptly, "Hurry up." ”
A bundle of thorngrass, which was still green, was doused with fire oil, lit and thrown from the castle tower, and immediately billowing smoke spread out.
"Look, General. On the upper floor of the mobile city, someone next to the middle-aged general exclaimed.
Seeing the enemy using wattle grass, Han Yi didn't show any surprise. The soldiers who were responsible for moving the battering ram couldn't stand the smoke and all retreated, and countless arrows fell on the city, causing heavy casualties for a while.
"Prepare the crossbows, trebuchets, General Ben is going to blow down that tower. The middle-aged general said fiercely.
The flag was waved, and on the left and right sides, thirty arrow towers with a height of six meters moved out, each with two floors, and three huge crossbows were arranged on each floor. Behind the thirty towers, fifty trebuchets were lined up, and the soldiers quickly loaded the boulders.
"Put. ”
"Boom-" Hundreds of four-meter-long stainless steel spears were shot out by crossbows and aimed at the towers on the city walls.
"Huhuhu-" The trebuchet threw hundreds of pounds of boulders, and meteors smashed into the tower.
The soldiers who raised their heavy shields in front of the tower to protect the tower all widened their eyes in horror when they saw the overwhelming spears and boulders. Before they could react, the spear fired, piercing the heavy shield in front of them with a thud and then through their bodies.
The tremendous force carried their bodies upside down, some of them smashed through the wooden gate and flew into the tower, and some were directly nailed to the earthen wall by spears.
"What's going on?" roared the warriors in the tower. However, he saw a terrifying scene, and huge stones flew towards the castle tower where he was.
"Boom-" The roof of the castle tower was smashed through, and the earthen wall in front of it was smashed down. After dozens of boulders fell, the tower became precarious.
"Shaojun, retreat quickly. ”
A soldier rushed to the warrior's side, pulling him to leave, when suddenly a great force flew away with him, but a steel spear pierced his body and pinned him to the wall.
The warrior turned his head to look, and countless spears were fired.
"Nope. His frightened voice.
"Shh
Another round of boulders fell, and the tower was directly reduced to ruins. Seeing this scene, all the surrounding soldiers fell into a panic, lost the command of the main general, and it was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
On the mobile city tower in the center of the army, the middle-aged general who saw this scene showed a smile. This middle-aged general is naturally Han Yi. After seven years of campaigning, he has been promoted from the commander of the forward battalion to the general, commanding 100,000 troops.
The battle against the royal court of the Eagle Department should have been presided over by Li Ying, the general who was stationed in Longguan City, but the general was injured in the battle a year ago, and if Han Yi hadn't arrived in time, he would have been dead on the battlefield.
It was also due to the defeat in that great war that the general was recalled to the capital by the imperial court, and Han Yi was also promoted to general to preside over the frontier war. During this year, the remaining four divisions of the Qiang tribe were successively captured by Han Yi's troops, and now the Eagle Department is the last one.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the city gate to be broken by a battering ram, and the soldiers flocked in excitedly.
"Wang Tong. Han Yi immediately shouted.
"The end will be. ”
Han Yi looked at Wang Tong who was kneeling in front of him on one knee, after more than ten years of fighting, his face was full of vicissitudes, and his temples were white. Following Han Yi, Wang Tong's current official position has also been promoted to the level of a general, and if he goes one step further, he can become a commander and lead a battalion of soldiers and horses.
"Ben will now order you to lead a team of men and horses into the city to capture the Lord of the Eagle Tribe. ”
"Yes, the last general commanded. Wang Tong's excited body trembled, and he hurriedly took the order, turned around and left. Han Yi completely gave this credit to him in vain, obviously wanting him to use this credit to make his official position go further.
After several hours of fighting, the curtain finally came to an end. Almost all of the recalcitrant Eagle soldiers in the city were killed, and only a few surrendered their weapons.
It took a few days, and the Eagle Department had been completely subdued by Han Yi. It didn't take long for him to receive an order from the capital to return to the court.
Returning to the capital, Han Yi entered the palace under the solemn formation and accepted the reward. After nearly ten years of conquest on the border, Han Yi finally stepped onto the pinnacle of military generals, became a real general, and was even more knighted as a martial marquis.
However, what Han Yi didn't know was that his knighthood directly made countless princes and nobles in the capital secretly hate him.
Leaving the palace and returning to the marquis's mansion given by the emperor, Han Yi changed his silver armor and wore only a black robe. He sat alone in his study, his eyes closed and he was sleeping, and some broken images flashed in his mind for no reason.
I don't know when it started, but he had some more memories in his mind that didn't belong to him. Every time I dream back at midnight, the last picture in my mind is always the sad faces of women, as if he had failed those women.
Every day after that, Han Yi always lived in seclusion, almost did not interact with any princes and nobles, even if someone took the initiative to invite him to participate in the party, he refused all of them, even if it was the invitation of the prince.
Those princes, nobles, and princes, after trying many times, knew that Han Yi didn't like to associate with people, so they didn't waste time on him, and instead began to win over Han Yi's generals.
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, and three years are fleeting.
On this day, Han Yi was reading and writing at home as usual, and suddenly at the gate of the Marquis's Mansion, a team of forbidden soldiers wearing iron armor appeared, they directly ignored the warning of the steward of the Marquis's Mansion, rushed directly into the mansion, came to the backyard, and surrounded the pavilion where Han Yi was.
"Master, they ......" The housekeeper rushed to Han Yi's side, anxiously wanting to say something, but Han Yi raised his hand to stop him.
"Alright, you all stand down, I'm the one they're looking for. Han Yi didn't seem to have any surprise at the arrival of the forbidden army, he calmly finished writing the last word and put down the wolf's pen.
"Marquis Liewu, this commander is ordered by His Majesty to take you to Dali Temple for investigation. The commander of the forbidden army calmly looked directly into Han Yi's eyes and said.
"Okay, I'll go with you. ”
"Sir......" exclaimed the butler.
"Steward Liu, I'm not here, and I'll be in charge of the affairs of the house. ”
"Sir, don't worry, I will definitely take care of everything in the Hou Mansion. ”
"Let's go. Han Yi walked up to the commander of the forbidden army.
On the left and right sides, someone immediately stepped forward, ready to put a chain on Han Yi. Han Yi's eyes were cold, and the hearts of the two forbidden soldiers immediately beat wildly, and they actually had the feeling of being targeted by the flood beast.
"Your Majesty hasn't convicted Ben Hou yet, Commander She, are you sure you want to put chains on Ben Hou?"
