Chapter 827: The Legion in the Clouds vs. the Ma Family's troops
On the plain, the two armies rushed together, and although Ji Ya's Yunzhong army was small in number, it was overwhelming under the leadership of Chun Yu Wuji and Venia. In particular, Vinya's pair of embroidery hammers swept through the Ma family's army and fell to the ground, and other people's attacks were blocked by her impeccable brilliance, and people with a little insight naturally recognized Vinya's identity.
Although the Moon Wolf Clan has been extinct in the north for nearly twenty years, the reputation of the fighting nation is still undiminished. A mere girl had such courage that she alone tore a hole in the Ma family's phalanx.
If Vinia is a big killer used to charge, then the Lion King Chun Yu Wuji, who is closely behind him, is the leader of the army, the whole army is headed by him, the veterans are divided into left and right, and the recruits form a rushing formation in it, and follow Vinia all the way to defeat the sharp edge of the Ma family.
Seeing this, the generals of the Ma family could only agree to cast the Imperial Spirit. The Ma family has a unique sealing technique, and Daozu Ma Ling'er relied on his own intelligence to refine the method of the Imperial Spirit. To be able to become a thousand-year-old family, in addition to the knife technique, the Ma family's ability to control monsters and ghosts is also one of the reasons.
However, the Ma family has always been cautious, and tried not to use the method of imperial spirits on the battlefield as much as possible, unless it was a monk like Chai Shengnan, or bandits like Wohu Mountain and Wulonggou.
The reasons are simple, one is the problem of ability. The disciples of the Ma family can defeat the monster first, and then use the sealing technique to lock it into a special wooden card, and when necessary, they can be summoned as an escort to fight, but the sealed monster is only left with the original thirty percent of the combat power, and at most it can only summon two, which is very weak.
And another reason is the problem of reputation, the demon clan has always been the enemy of the human race, isn't the demon cloud sea guarding the northern frontier just to defend the demon clan from going south? ordinary people in the rivers and lakes or the people under the original Yan land rule know that the Ma family has the ability to seal and control spirits, and those subdued monsters are driven like slaves, so they will not have any resistance to the Ma family.
But what do the newly incorporated people who have been gradually expanded think? The Ma family colludes with demons and monsters to harm the human race? There are many ignorant people in the Star Dou people, and the reputation of the Ma family will inevitably be damaged, and the newly occupied places will have to work hard to appease, so it is better not to use them in the war in the first place, anyway, those monsters with only three successful powers will not necessarily have any great effect.
However, in the unfavorable situation of the battle, there are not many cares, and in an instant, several giant beasts appeared on the battlefield, or there are monitor lizards, or orangutans, and there are also wild boars, bear-shaped monsters, and all of them are six or seven feet tall.
When fighting, it is necessary to anticipate that the other party will release the monster, Chun Yu Wuji immediately commanded the army to retreat, no matter how strong the veterans of the Yunzhong Military Region are, they are flesh and blood, those Ma family's imperial spirits, even if they only have thirty percent of the power left, such a huge size, the lethality will never be small, and some monsters will also breathe fire and acid.
The army in the clouds retreated, but Venia, who was in the lead, still rushed to kill regardless of it, compared to her small size, a bear-shaped giant demon in front of her was even more terrifying, and knocked over Vinia's war horse with a slap.
Venia rolled on the ground a few times, stood up slightly embarrassed and said, "Good time!" After that, she put the double hammer on the ground at will, and in the face of the bear paw that came again, Venia grabbed it directly without dodging or dodging, and threw the giant bear out with a twist.
The giant bear landed and rolled a few times, enough to crush and crush hundreds of soldiers of the Ma family, the giant bear lay there howling and ready to get up, but Vigna rushed to step on the body of the giant bear, and then jumped up and punched the giant bear in the heart. The giant bear kicked its limbs into the air, and its entire chest was punched out of a flesh pit, and the ground under its body collapsed.
At this time, there was a roar in the distance, it turned out that he had made a plan before the battle, and he was full of firearms in the rear, and this time he almost took out the family funds of the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau, in order to be afraid that the iron cavalry of the Ma family and the spirit monsters were too sharp, and if these recruits were not used, they could at least use the firepower defense line for a while.
Just let Venia take the lead in the charge, and Chun Yu Wuji led the troops forward, just to kill the opponent by surprise, once the opponent made a killing move, the troops immediately retreated behind the firepower network. Sure enough, after blocking the attack of the troops in the clouds, the trolls just now covered up and killed them, and they were hit by a round of artillery bombardment. Including where Vigna was located, it was covered in fire.
Venia naturally didn't care, at the beginning of the battle, Ji Ya had the intention of letting her be the vanguard, but she was afraid that she would not obey the military order if she was happy. In the end, Venia said that she could fight as much as she wanted, and she was not afraid of anything anyway. Ji Ya had seen the power of the moon wolf in the tyrant, so she took Venia to the outskirts for an experiment. With her cultivation, she couldn't even break through Venia's defense with all her strength to use the Fire Spirit Immortal Technique, so the firearms of the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau basically couldn't hurt Venia.
Sure enough, after an explosion, the smoke cleared, leaving Vigna standing in place, untouched. Those giant beasts have also fallen to the ground, if they could have escaped from the fire network before, but now they have been ambushed by the Ma family, and only thirty percent of their strength is left, then they will basically be blown up and can no longer die.
The high-level of the Ma family is also angry and has a toothache, and they also know that the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau has firearms, otherwise they will not dare to start a war, and there are many restrictions on firearms, in order to use them better, they are either placed on the city wall, or placed in front of the battle, so that they can adjust the best angle. Unexpectedly, this time they were placed behind the battle, and even sent their own army as bait, and they killed one or two thousand Ma family's army in one or two thousand pieces.
Seeing that it was almost time to eat, there was a smell of gunpowder around her, and there was no one standing, Vignia lifted a pair of embroidery hammers and carried them on her shoulders, and came back with a swagger.
These series of operations made the other party speechless, the firearms were lined up behind the array, and the Yunzhong Army could attack and harass under the leadership of the monster of the Moon Wolf Clan just now, and if the Ma family counterattacked, it would be introduced into the firepower network. The Ma family can only defend passively now, although there is a Northwest Manufacturing Bureau, but the firepower of the Yunzhong Army cannot be unlimited, and the coverage just now must only be a few times. But the Ma family can't try with human life.
It's not difficult to break the game, but it's too disgusting. At this moment, a scout came to report the news, and the generals of the Ma family opened it to take a look, and it turned out that they had discovered the movement of a large number of light cavalry.
In order to sneak attack Xuanmen Pass, Ji Ya led 5,000 light horsemen to set off overnight. Even if Ji Ya deliberately detoured, the five thousand cavalry would still be discovered after all.
Everyone in the Ma family suddenly realized, no wonder the Yunzhong Army is so strange today, it seems that it is to cover this surprise attack force, according to this route, if it is not to raid the rear of the army, it is to prepare to attack the Xuanmen Pass, the military capital distribution point. Either way, it's not a good thing for the Ma family.
And for Ji Ya's real purpose, everyone also has their own opinions, after all, the light cavalry around the path is also the Ma family's cavalry's forte, Xuanmen Pass is not dangerous, but it is also a pass, and the cavalry siege seems unrealistic. But it was also a risk to use 5,000 men to sneak up on the rear of the army. So it's really hard to say what this cavalry is going to do.
It's just that in the current situation, it is impossible for the Ma family to divide too many troops to rescue, and after a wave of artillery fire, the Yunzhong Army has no intention of withdrawing, but starts to organize the formation again. There is no plan to take it after a slight gain of the upper hand. It seems that the other party is indeed preparing to spend here.
According to the Yunzhong Army's style of play just now, the next wave of attacks will come in a short time, the Ma family is passively defensive, if there are fewer people, they will definitely suffer, after all, their vanguard is a moon werewolf who punches and kills trolls. But if you organize a counteroffensive, you will be covered by firearms, so you can only be pinned down here.
In the end, the Ma family discussed a result, and Ma Wencai led 5,000 cavalry to pursue Ji Ya. If the other side is an attacking battalion, the two sides will meet halfway. If the other party is going to the Xuanmen Pass, as long as they promise to stick to it for a while. Then these 5,000 horse cavalry can cooperate with the inside and outside of the Xuanmen Pass and block the opponent under the Xuanmen Pass.
Here, because of the main force of the Yunzhong Army, at most five thousand cavalry can only be allocated to Ma Wencai, and the cavalry in the cloud is also good, and in the case of five thousand against five thousand, the Ma family may not be able to gain the upper hand. Therefore, he did not ask Marven to forcibly annihilate the enemy, as long as he could destroy the other party's intentions and retreat this enemy army.
……
After arranging Ma Wencai's pursuit troops, the remaining generals ordered to change the military formation, while pondering the next move.
"Since the other side is using artillery as the rear position, why don't we also arrange artillery fire on the front line, so that their harassing troops cannot charge?"
"No, our artillery fire is limited, and the range and power are far inferior to those of the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau, if they find out that we are deployed in front of the formation, what if they also move the position forward to cover it?" Because of the prestige of the Demon Cloud Sea and the regulations of the Yunzhong Military Region, there is not much outflow from the northwest, mainly the Southeast Manufacturing Bureau controlled by the craftsmen.
The power of the Ma family has both strong soldiers, iron horses, and even monsters that can be driven, although the artillery is powerful, but it also has shortcomings such as inconvenient movement, reliance on ammunition, high damage rate, difficult to preserve, and even layout and adjust the angle in advance. In addition to being used to conquer fortified cities, the Ma family is generally not used to fight between the two armies.
"Otherwise, the whole army will retreat, first avoid the range of their artillery fire, and if they attack again, it will not be too late to counterattack. ”
"I'm afraid that the other party will chase and kill behind, not to mention that the soldiers and horses in the clouds are not weak, it is the monster that charged just now, whether it is a monster or artillery fire, she has not been harmed. If she comes out again, she will be defeated if she doesn't manage to retreat. ”
"Hehe, when did my dignified Ma family be afraid because of a little woman?"
"You're not afraid to fight her yourself. ”
"I ......"
Monks generally do not directly participate in war, and even if they do, they will never use immortal methods to kill and injure people, unless they set up some kind of formation for the enemy to attack. As for the martial arts master, even if he can annihilate thousands or tens of thousands of people, there will be a time when he will be surrounded and killed by the army. But the Moon Wolf Clan is different, they not only have combat power and destructive power, but also have the strongest defense. Under this defense, she can destroy thousands of troops without injury, even if her strength is limited, as long as she knows where her bottom line is, she can calculate the right time to kill in and out. It's no wonder that the Demon Cloud Sea must find a way to destroy the Moon Wolf Clan in the first place, this force is too strong and uncontrollable.
Of course, there is no way, there are many masters of the Ma family, such as Ma Yubai and the like of 'Double Moon and the Same Day', as long as they besiege and kill, even the wolf clan will not escape death this month. Back then, the extermination of the Moon Wolf Clan was also the Demon Cloud Sea to gather masters from all walks of life, rather than sending an army.
If Vignya is now making trouble in the Ma family's territory, these old bones will naturally move. But it is inconvenient for them to participate in ordinary wars, after all, the Ma family has hole cards, and other forces are not without them, and these old guys will not make a move until the time of life and death, and this time they will start a war with Yunzhong County, and there are many differences within the Ma family, so they can't be called at all.
Seeing that there was no practical way to argue for a long time, a middle-aged man who looked at a relatively high rank said, "What if you use air power?"
"How many are there in the family?
"This ......"
"And what can you do?"
"In my opinion, it's better to withdraw the troops, in the end, this war is too cost-effective. ”
The flying monster itself is relatively difficult to catch, and only thirty percent of the power is left after the imperial spirit, except for being smarter, you can release some small spell attacks. The others are no different from a carrier pigeon, and can be shot down when there are enough feathers.
The flying class that can really form combat power, it is really rare, and a lot of losses have been lost in the previous interception of Chai Shengnan and the attack on the Cloud Pass, and the rest are difficult to form. For this big war, whether they support or not, the people of the Ma family agree on one thing, that is, the cost of the war is not cost-effective.
Yunzhong County is garrisoned by a strong army, and it can't be defeated at all. Even if it is defeated, the Ma family is not in the mood to govern this barren land. The only reason for starting a war is to curb the development of neighboring countries, but this is also a tailwind, once the war situation is unfavorable, the base camp and the ghost city will never increase investment, especially to put the extremely rare flying monsters on this battlefield.
……
Chun Yu Wuji led the troops back to the position, and Huang Ping and Chang Xiu, who were arranged in the artillery position, greeted him, and Huang Ping said bluntly: "The general is mighty, this battle is hard." ”
Chun Yu Wuji's armor was stained with blood, but he didn't see fatigue: "Hehe, it's the first time I've seen such artillery coverage, if I come a few more times, the tens of thousands of people on the opposite side can be flattened." ”
Chang Xiu said: "This time it also caught them off guard, and next time they may not be easy to chase after them." ”
Chun Yu Wuji turned over and dismounted: "I also know that they will not be so stupid." But our artillery is used so much at one time, is there enough shells?"
Huang Ping said: "General rest assured, they will not attack easily this time, I am not worried about the shells that have been produced during this time, but I am worried that the artillery can not be stopped." ”
The loss rate of artillery is very high, even the best craftsmen of Da Zhou can't avoid it, just now in the round of shooting, each cannon was fired multiple times, all the barrels were already piping hot, and some of the aging ones even began to change color. Therefore, Huang Ping was worried that before the ammunition ran out, the artillery would not be able to hold up first.
The Northwest Manufacturing Bureau manufactured firearms in order to resist the demon clan low, after the war in northern Xinjiang that year, all kinds of repairs required silver money, and the demon clan would not invade south within a hundred years of defeat, so the manufacture of artillery slowed down. Unlike the southeast craftsman, it is already chaotic and can only develop on its own, so the arms business is very popular. There are still rules in the Northwest Yunzhong Military Region, and the allocation of funds from the imperial court is small, and the craftsmen have not been able to start work for a long time, so they have begun to do private work. Even reselling weapons with some officers, of course, it was only some swords, guns, swords, shields, artillery, and other weapons that they did not dare to buy.
After Ji Ya unified Yunzhong, he integrated the Northwest Manufacturing Bureau to resume production, but the Ma family came too quickly this time, so he could only concentrate the existing artillery and then go all out to produce ammunition.
At this time, Venia, who was trotting all the way, came back with a small hammer: "Have you opened your meal?"
Chang Xiu smiled: "Okay, General Chun Yu and Xiao Venia will go to dine first, and there is no need to rush for the next wave of offensives." ”
Although there was a double guarantee from Ji Ya and Venia, several people were still worried about Venia, but the tens of thousands of lives in the army could not tolerate sloppiness, so seeing that she had not returned, Chang Xiu also ordered the cannonball. Unexpectedly, the artillery fire that killed one or two thousand people in the Ma family did not hurt this eldest lady at all. Everyone has truly understood the power of the Moon Wolf Clan.
