Chapter 263: Expedition
Yi Qingfeng swept to Mu Qianqian, Xiang Chen and others after a few ups and downs, and he slammed the corpse of Hulk in his hand in front of Sivani and other Shadow Clan ace troops and said: "If you don't want to die, listen, your general has been killed by Yi, if you resist there is only one way to die, Yi advises you to hurry up and arrest it, and leave yourself a way to live." ”
The Shadow Clan warriors all set their eyes on the High Priest Sivani, and seeing that the matter had come to this point, it would be impossible to recover the defeat if they continued to fight, Sivani sighed after struggling again and again, "That's it, everyone surrenders." As he spoke, he knelt on the ground first, and the other Shadow Clan soldiers also threw their weapons on the ground and bowed their heads.
Guristan, Arthur, Duran and others were naturally happy to accept the surrender of the enemy, and they ordered the undead army to escort the surrendered enemy towards the stone cliff city, and won a big victory without losing too many soldiers and horses, which can be described as bloodless, and the undead and Prince Arthur, Duran, Yi Qingfeng and others were all overjoyed.
That night, the three armies were rewarded with a celebration wine in Stone Cliff City, and all the soldiers were doubly excited under the influence of alcohol. Guristan came to Yi Qingfeng, Arthur, Mu Qianqian and others with a wine glass and said: "Heroes, the undead can defeat the Shadow Clan army today and capture their many generals alive, all heroes have made great contributions, on behalf of all the undead soldiers, I would like to give you a glass of heroes, thank you heroes for your great help." As he spoke, he drank all the wine in his glass.
Yi Qingfeng, Arthur, Mu Qianqian and others also drank all the wine in the cup, and Arthur said, "How is the general going to deal with those enemies who surrender?"
Guristan said: "This general intends to use this as a bargaining chip to force the Shadow Clan King to sign a letter of surrender, and never invade the undead territory again in the future, I have sent someone to the royal city to report this matter to the king." ”
Arthur said: "It's very good that the general has this idea, and there is no reason to say no to the Shadow Clan, most of their soldiers and horses are now prisoners, if they still resist stubbornly, it is tantamount to asking for their own death, presumably Durini will not be so stubborn." ”
Guristan said: "What Prince Arthur said is extremely true, the ultimate victims of the war are the innocent people and the soldiers who died, this general Rong Ma has seen too many fights, killings, and parting with death in his life, and he really can't bear to see his compatriots die in the war again." ”
Prince Arthur said: "The general is really a bodhisattva, admirable. Today is a day of great joy, let's forget the sad thing and enjoy the joy of victory with the soldiers. Saying that, he walked out of the hall with everyone and went to the camp to congratulate all the soldiers on the victory, and it was a night full of laughter, singing and dancing, although venting the joy in their hearts.
A few days later, due to the unfavorable situation, the Shadow Clan King Durini agreed to surrender and promised not to invade the undead territory again, and in exchange, Guristan also released the captured Shadow Clan generals such as Sivani, Fivo, and Yore, as well as thousands of soldiers. After successfully completing the task of recovering the lost territory and driving out the invading enemy, Guristan, Yi Qingfeng and others returned to the dynasty, and when they returned to the royal city, they were naturally rewarded by King Gurio and enthusiastically supported by the undead people. Gulio knew that Yi Qingfeng, Arthur and others could force the Shadow Clan to surrender this time, so he treated them as guests, and specially chose an extremely elegant and spacious mansion in the palace for everyone to live in, and entertained them with good wine and food every day.
Time flies, a few days have passed in the blink of an eye, since the return of the class teacher Yi Qingfeng and others have no official duties, every day they just eat, drink, laugh and have fun in the royal city, and the life is not happy. On this day, Yi Qingfeng, Xiang Chen, and Wu Renliang got together again to chat, Wu Renliang was full of praise while drinking the wine in the gourd: "Sure enough, one side of the water and soil makes one side of the wine, the wine made by the undead is fragrant and sweet, and it has a different flavor than the wine made by our humans, I don't know what the two of you think?"
Yi Qingfeng said: "The taste is really good, but it feels a little stronger, and it is a bit strong when you drink too much." ”
Xiang Chen said: "You two don't patronize and talk about wine, don't you have anything else but wine." Let me tell you, that **** saw a good place in the city, where there is not only wine, but also stunning beauties dancing, and there are many new things that we have never seen in the Wanchen Continent, I saw a lot of people around playing with colorful cards in their hands, and some people are playing ball on a table full of balls with a slender stick in their hands, in short, there are many new things, do you want to take a look?"
Yi Qingfeng and Wu Renliang were moved by the words, and they said: "There is such a good place, how can there be no reason not to take a look." With that, the three of them smiled and walked towards the door.
Suddenly, a loud shout came from the house: "Stop, don't go." The three of them looked back and saw Mu Qianqian standing at the door with an angry face, Yi Qingfeng said: "Qianqian, let's go to the city for a walk in idleness, Xiang Chen has found a fun place, why don't you go with us." ”
Mu Qianqian said: "I'm not going, are you happy now, you know to go around and play all day long, and you have forgotten why we are here." ”
Xiang Chen said: "I haven't forgotten, how can I forget, I remember it every day." It's just that if you don't go into battle to kill the enemy, what's the harm in going to the city?"
Mu Qianqian said: "Don't go, it's not a matter to play every day like this, let's go to Prince Arthur and General Duran to discuss and see what they plan to do next." ”
While everyone was talking, Grace came over from outside the courtyard and said, "Brother Qingfeng, Sister Qianqian, you are all here, King Augustus has sent someone to summon us, Brother Arthur and General Duran have already entered the palace first, they asked me to inform you to enter the palace quickly, it seems that there is an important matter to discuss." ”
Yi Qingfeng said: "Okay, there is something to be done, so let's go to the palace quickly." So saying, he went with the others towards the king's palace.
It turned out that King Augustus had just received a secret letter from Jack, in which Jack asked Augustus to immediately send Arthur, Duran, Grace, Yi Qingfeng and other enemies who were very threatening to him to the Elven City, otherwise he would start a war with the undead. According to the information coming from the vicinity of the sound of the stream, Jack has deployed an elven army to hoard there, ready to invade the territory of the undead at any time, in addition to Jack also spent a lot of money to hire the notorious dwarven mercenaries of the Spirit Wind Continent to participate in this operation, it seems that this time they will also eradicate Arthur and others at all costs.
After listening to Augustus's story, Arthur looked resentful, he knelt down on one knee in front of Augustus and said: "King Augustus, I have a common enmity with Jack and the thief, this enmity is invincible, I will not be blind to death, the king promised that as long as we help the undead to repel the enemy of the Shadow Clan, he will lend troops to his subordinates, and please don't lose your word." ”
Augustus said: "The prince is invited to get up quickly, you have no jokes, how can this king not keep his promise." Now that the heroes are the closest friends of the king and the undead, Jack dares to lead the army to attack, and the king will help the prince kill this thief and avenge the blood hatred of the dead King Muen. ”
Prince Arthur, Grace, Duran and others said in unison: "Thank you to the king, I will never forget the king's great kindness." ”
Augustus smiled: "You don't need to be polite, we are in the same family now, and I am afraid that there will be a lot of things to take care of each other in the future." Guristan obeyed the order, from this day on, Prince Arthur's order is the king's order, and you must do your best to assist the prince to restore the kingdom and defeat the Jack rebels, without mistake. ”
Guristan said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty, the last general will do his best to assist the prince." ”
Augustus said: "Very good, then all the heroes are ready to go, this king looks forward to the early triumph of everyone." ”
Prince Arthur, Duran, Yi Qingfeng, Guristan and others immediately withdrew from the palace, and then began to be busy with the expedition. Early the next morning, the crowd led tens of thousands of troops out of the royal city in the direction of the land of Liusheng at the border.
Let's say that the mercenary troops hired by Jack this time are all composed of a group of outlaws, they do everything evil for money, what kind of murder, arson, robbery, and other things are from their hands, and they are notorious in the Lingfeng Continent, but this group of outlaws is good and brutal, and the troops of various countries have nothing to do with them, and over time they gradually developed into a large-scale armed force, with as many as 20,000 people, and have many muskets, artillery and other lethal weapons.
On this day, a vanguard of the hired support army detected that Wu Renliang and Xiang Chen were about to pass through a dangerous place with 5,000 soldiers and horses, so they ambushed in advance and prepared to attack the opponent in advance.
At this time, the leader of the mercenary army, Ximi, was looking into the distance intently with a pair of binoculars in his hand, and suddenly many figures appeared in his field of vision, and it was the five thousand soldiers and horses led by Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang. Himi took the binoculars to a sergeant beside him, and then said to the more than 1,000 soldiers in ambush around him: "Everyone listen, the enemy will appear soon, and then listen to Lao Tzu's command, now they are all hidden for Lao Tzu, don't expose the target." As he spoke, he lay down in the grass.
As Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang's troops got closer and closer, they gradually entered the range of firepower. Himi shouted, "Everybody fights." For a while, the gunfire was loud, the artillery roared, and the arrows were fired in unison, Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang's troops were caught off guard and were beaten on their backs, and the two shouted while resisting the attack: "Everyone scatters and lies down." ”
The soldiers and horses were chaotic for a while, Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang led their soldiers and horses to temporarily withdraw from the enemy's firepower, and at a cursory glance, there were more than 100 dead and wounded, Xiang Chen was furious and said: "This group of bitches raised it, it turned out that they were hiding here to sneak attack us, Renliang, we can't swallow this breath, we have to get it back." ”
Wu Renliang said: "Then we must get it back, they don't seem to have many people, it is estimated that they are not the main force, we will not suffer a loss in fighting." ”
The two men did what they said, with the musketeers and artillery at the forefront, followed by a large number of archers and infantry. As the artillery roared towards the hill where the enemy was ambushed in front, Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang led the army to start a counterattack, and Himi was not to be outdone, relying on the advantage of geographical location to fight back, for a time the sound of guns and artillery was endless, and thousands of arrows were fired together, and the two sides launched a tug-of-war.
A vicious battle was fought to the ground, with heavy casualties on both sides, and although the Himi side made the opponent pay a heavier price, they had no choice but to have insufficient troops, and if they fought to the end, they would inevitably be wiped out. After a burst of fierce firepower, he led the soldiers and horses to flee quickly, Xiang Chen and Wu Renliang were unwilling to give up, and led the troops to chase for a ride, but the enemy had fled far away, and seeing that the pursuit was hopeless, the two had to order the troops to camp in situ and wait for the rear army to catch up.
