Volume 1 Once Upon a Time in the South There was no war on the Southern Front

The City Lord's Mansion of Xituo City.

"Your Highness, the sentry has just come back to report, and there is no change in the Tingxiao people today. It seems that after last night's battle, these people are a lot more honest. Beacon said with a smile.

"Last night's battle, the city guard worked hard. Onian said flatly.

"Where, where. The princess is really ashamed of her duties, if she can kill the generals earlier, she will not put Her Royal Highness in danger. Beacon said ashamedly.

"No one could have imagined that those Tingxiao people would spend such a lot of money and even take out the magic potion of 'Jin Ye Xing'. Lai Wu comforted.

"Now that they all know the identity of His Highness, it's a bit strange that they didn't attack in a big way. Alvin said.

"Could it be that we are scared?" said Chen Zhu with a smile.

"After a cursory glance at the airship this morning, there should be more than 20,000 Tingxiao people under the mountain. "They shouldn't be so easy to give up. ”

"It seems that it is still not to be careless. O'Ann said in a deep voice.

"Report! Urgent military situation, the Tingxiao people under the mountain have moved!" At this time, a sergeant rushed in from outside to pray.

"What's the situation, tell me quickly!" the beacon duck said quickly.

"The Tingxiao people under the mountain have fought with a troop, and it seems that the banner is His Majesty's royal iron horse. The sergeant hurriedly replied.

The Beacon turned to look at the princess on the main seat, and Onian immediately stood up, leaving everyone and walking briskly outside.

"Let's go, let's see. The beacon immediately followed.

The princess walked out of the court, and as soon as the staff fell, the person was already floating in the air. Before everyone could get out of the house, the figure had already swept over Xituo City, crossed the towering city wall, and flew directly to the foot of the mountain.

The beacon duck was afraid that the princess would make any mistakes, so he climbed to the roof of the city lord's mansion in two steps, jumped over the roofs of the private houses, and followed the princess closely.

"Let's go and get the airboat up first, and you go after the princess. Lai Wu glanced at Alvin and said.

Alwyn nodded, and after the levitation technique, there was a crack in the sky, and the figure was already a hundred paces away.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Originally, these Tingxiao people at the foot of the mountain were going to launch a new round of offensive against Xituo City in the afternoon after repairing for a morning. After all, after learning that the amazing female magician was the princess of the Yafei Empire, Onian, the originally demoralized Tingxiao people suddenly ignited their fighting spirit again. The leaders of the mercenary groups, large and small, began to discuss how to extort the ransom after the princess was captured, and how to distribute the ransom after it was received. The greed and optimism of these Tingxiao people are really quite admirable.

But before noon, there was a sound of iron hooves on the provincial road connecting Xituo City and Newin City, and these Tingxiao people came out of the camp and were shocked, it was actually the royal iron cavalry of the Yafei Empire. Now they were even more convinced of the identity of the sorceress.

When the Tingxiao mercenaries saw that the Yafei Royal Iron Cavalry was only 10,000 horses, they didn't care, and they didn't plan to stick to the camp, but chose to fight these Yafei reinforcements on the wide provincial road.

So the two armies faced each other, and a big war was about to break out.

"Brother Nanton, these Tingxiao people look very miscellaneous, right?" Duke Qishan glanced at these Tingxiao people who had set up a formation from a distance.

"If it's not a miscellaneous game, how can forty or fifty thousand people not be able to defeat a city of Xituo with five thousand defenders?" Duke Nanton sneered contemptuously, "After all, they are all mercenaries, and where can they have any combat effectiveness." ”

"Yes. Kasugi nodded.

"Let's go, rush into battle!" Duke Nanton's face flashed with a hint of murderous intent, and then shouted at the soldiers of the whole army: "Soldiers of the Empire, it's time to make these Tingxiao people who don't know whether they live or die pay the price!"

"Roar, roar, roar!" The royal horsemen, who had been running for a day and a night, did not show any fatigue, and still burst out with a roar like a torrent. Obviously, these 10,000 spears have long been hungry and thirsty.

"Kill!" the Duke of Nanton shouted and rushed out first, followed by the Duke of Shanshan. Two veterans who are over half a hundred years old, chatting about juvenile madness, taking the lead, rushing to the forefront.

Seeing the two managers so heroic, the Royal Iron Knights were even more imposing.

When the people of Tingxiao saw the posture of ten thousand horses galloping and the mountains roaring and the tsunami, they couldn't help but retreat. The cavalry was so frightened that they had to meet it.

As soon as they clashed, the Tingxiao cavalry of about 5,000 people was instantly crushed and directly cut into two strands from the middle. The Tingxiao infantry in the back row was immediately affected, although they had a huge shield in their hands and had already set up their formation, but when they encountered this high-speed impact of the Sapporo war horse, they couldn't resist it at all, and the entire front collapsed instantly.

At this time, Oniehn, Alwin, and Beacon Owl also went to the hillside to watch the battle at the foot of the mountain from a high vantage point.

"Your Highness, do you need to lead the defenders out of the city to annihilate the enemy? The beacon owl watched the battle and hurriedly asked for instructions.

"Then the trouble is guarded. Onian nodded.

The beacon owl took the order and left, after all, this was a good time to fight for his feats, and he naturally couldn't let it go. It's like Laiwu, who has already lifted the airship into the air, and is heading towards the hillside at full speed.

"This regular army is different, these Tingxiao mercenaries are not opponents at all. Alvin sighed as he looked at the chaotic Tingxiao people at the bottom of the mountain.

"For a while, I will just see how the Maine elite trained by Prince Ressa fights, yesterday I only saw them defending the city, and now we can see what they look like when they rush to kill. O'Ann said.

"It's a pity that the mountain road was destroyed, and it is estimated that it will not be able to rush up. Alvin said lightly.

While the two were talking, the empty boat of the Quartet Mercenary Group finally arrived.

"Let's go, go down the mountain and slaughter the Tingxiao people. Lai Wu called out to the two men on the hillside from the airboat.

Alvin looked at O'Ann with a smile, and seeing her blinking thoughtfully, he took the girl's slightly cool hand, and the two figures jumped into the air.

The airship did not stop, and went straight to the sky above the provincial battlefield.

"All martial arts, give me a bright spot in your eyes, aim the crossbow and release it again, don't hurt your own people, do you understand?"

"Mages, I don't need to say more, these Tingxiao people at the foot of the mountain are now meat targets, all kinds of magic put up, be careful not to hurt these royal knights. Alvin also began to command the magicians in battle.

"Laiwu, I seem to have seen your father. Chen Zhu looked at the fierce battlefield below and said suddenly.

Kaiba followed Chenzhu's gaze, "Don't say it, it's true." ”

"Ha, Laiwu, your father is quite two-handed, this martial arts cultivation, I feel that you are not as good as him as a son. Alvin also looked over, and saw that the Duke of Nanton's long sword was killed by a courting mercenary as soon as he entered and exited, and his technique was quite neat, so he made fun of Lai Wu.

"Yes, no matter how you look at it, your dad is better than your kid. Chen Zhu also joined the ranks of taunting Lai Wu.

"What do you mean, collectively mocking me?" Lai Wu said with a smile, "Okay, do you mean you want me to go down and show my hands?"

"Yo, why do I feel you're scared?" Alvin laughed.

"Huh. Lai Wu sneered, and then shouted at the steering wheel: "Langyun, the airboat descends a little, let me lead the people down." ”

At this time, it was Langyun who was piloting the empty boat, and after the quarrel in the morning, Aoi locked himself in the room. However, Langyun has been learning almost secretly in the past few days, and now he can drive alone.

So the airship descended a few feet, enough for the martial artists to jump off the deck without getting hurt.

"Come on, brothers, follow me!" Lai Wu roared, and the banner of the Quartet Mercenary Regiment in his hand was thrown by him with all his might, firmly inserting into the charred black soil, and then he was the first to plunge down and kill into the chaotic war group.

"Don't be in a hurry, follow in batches, go down with fifty or fifty, and don't worry about the back. Xia Ye commanded order on the deck.

"We're going down too, we can't just let Laiwu be in the limelight. Keba and Chenju spoke to Elwin, and both of them flew down with murderous expressions.

"Magicians and crossbowmen are firing at full risk, so take care to cover your melee martial arts. Alvin watched the battle below, directing the rest of the people on the airship.

The Tingxiao people, who were originally in a scattered formation, were caught in a bitter battle with the Yafei Royal Iron Cavalry, and at this time, when they saw the ghostly airship appear above, their hearts were cold.

All kinds of magic fell from the sky and exploded in the area where the mercenaries gathered, and although these fires and electric shocks were not comparable to O'Nien's earth-shattering posture, they were enough for these Tingxiao people to drink a pot.

Although more than 20,000 Tingxiao people had a numerical advantage, in the face of the royal iron cavalry with an intact formation, these numerical advantages could not be brought into play at all. Coupled with the continuous magic bombardment in the air, the scene was almost one-sided at this time.

And at this moment, the things that made these Tingxiao people desperate came one after another, and a burst of high-pitched shouts broke out on the mountain, obviously the defenders of Xituo City had killed out of the city.

Perhaps at this moment, the leaders of these Tingxiao mercenaries would regret that their greed had driven them to a dead end, and if only they had ordered a retreat when they saw the 10,000 Yafei reinforcements, they would only be chased and killed by these cavalry for a while, and they would not be completely annihilated under this Xituo city.

However, it is difficult to buy a thousand dollars, and I know it early.

"Look, the Maine defenders are coming down. Alvin said to Ornian beside him.

"Hmm. Look at it. Onian looked at these neat Maine elites, and took advantage of the high line of sight in the empty boat, and was unwilling to let go of a single detail.

The mountain road was blown up by O'Nien's magic yesterday, and it was full of potholes and rugged, but it didn't seem to be a problem at all for these Maine elites, who saw that they were all in good shape, their steps were not disordered, and the speed of the march was not affected at all.

"These Maine elites are fighting with Prince Ressa in the Trasares Mountains, and these are childish to them. Onian expected this to happen.

The Tingxiao people, who had already been beaten to the ground, were completely desperate now, looking at the tiger and wolf division running down the mountain, all of them looked like ashes.

The formation behind the side of the Tingxiao mercenaries began to retreat after encountering such a strong insertion, and a handful of mercenaries from the northeast had already begun to disregard the life and death of their companions, and spread their legs.

"You see, have you never seen these Maine elites in formation?" O'Nian reminded.

Alwyn looked at it in amazement. These Maine sergeants work in teams of eight and fight in small teams. A team consisted of two giant shieldmen, four pikemen, and two crossbowmen. Eight men worked in tandem, with two giant shieldmen at the front, four pikemen at the sides of the group, and two crossbowmen at the end of the group. Once in contact with the enemy, the Shieldmen immediately retreat to the sides of the squad and switch to the Spearmen, while the two Crossbowmen hide behind the Shields and wait for the opportunity to shoot crossbow arrows to kill the enemy. The crossbow, which could only be used at a distance, was used in hand-to-hand combat, and Alvin had to admire Prince Resa's imagination. And looking at these crossbow arrows with a strange inky glow, it was obvious that they were smeared with some kind of magic potion. Once those Tingxiao mercenaries were hit by this crossbow arrow, they looked like crazy and began to slash and kill their own people.

"Don't say it, these Maine sergeants don't even have a single wounded in this kind of hand-to-hand combat. The mode of battle developed by Prince Resa is really quite powerful. Alvin sighed.

"Not only that, haven't you noticed that these Maine soldiers and martial arts are terrifyingly high? Even my father's royal iron cavalry is dwarfed by them. Onien said with a frown.

Alvin couldn't help but nod in agreement.

At this time, in the battle situation below, Nanton's father and son have already killed each other.

"Father, you won't come to save me, will you?" Lai Wu took back a sword after a stab, and the two Tingxiao mercenaries became the souls of the sword.

"I came to relieve the siege of Xituo City on the orders of His Majesty, what does it have to do with you kid?" said Duke Nanton Zhengse, and with a light swing of the long sword in his hand, he pierced the thigh of a certain Tingxiao mercenary.

"I'll just say, why are you so kind. Lai Wu said with a wry smile.

The two glanced at each other, and then began to slaughter the mercenaries of Tingxiao.

Under the combined attack of the Royal Iron Cavalry, the defenders of Xituo City, and the Quartet Mercenary Regiment, it was only past noon, and the encirclement and suppression battle against the Tingxiao people on the provincial highway had come to an end. The more than 20,000 Tingxiao mercenaries actually failed without making any decent resistance, except for the more than 1,000 people who escaped, the rest were wiped out. Some of the leaders of the Tingxiao mercenaries wanted to surrender when they saw the situation, but the Duke of Nanton did not accept them.

After this battle, the main force of the Tingxiao mercenaries was completely wiped out, and the battle on the coastline of Yaofan came to an end.
