32. Defeat the Demon Empire
Since the Berserker Legion of Misty City has formed its combat strength, the continent has also entered the autumn, and this time is often the time for the Demon Martial Empire to enter the Longyan Empire to plunder.
Sure enough, on this day, Mo Fei received an edict from Emperor Tyran to let the Berserk Legion fight. Order Mo Fei to lead his team to take over the border town on the border with the Demon Empire.
After a few days of preparation, Mo Fei took 8,000 berserkers, 2,000 crossbowmen troops, and forty crossbow carts to the border town to take over the defense.
Mo Fei led his troops for more than twenty days, and finally arrived at the border town before the Demon Warrior Empire crossed the border and plundered. The handover to the original border guards was quickly completed.
"Now, it's a matter of defense or offense. "The initiative is already in the hands of Mofei. Mo Fei has always believed that offense is the best defense. With such a long border, how can you know where people are coming in? But if you attack first, then how can the other side have time to trouble you.
The 20,000 troops left behind during the change of defense did not just drive back to the interior, but the main defense responsibility was changed to a military commander. After Mo Fei made up his mind, he called the original city defense chief. When Mo Fei told him what he meant, looking at the commander with wide eyes, Mo Fei knew that it was impossible to count on him.
So Mo Fei said: "For this attack, your department is responsible for logistics, and the attack is entrusted to me to carry out." ”
Sending away the former city defense chief, Mo Fei opened the map and looked at it carefully.
Not far from here, the Demon Empire also has a small border city. To say that it is small is just compared to the other big cities of the Demon Empire.
Historically, when the Demon Martial Empire plundered the Longyan Empire, it was in this small city that it gathered. As for logistics, they don't talk about logistics at all, and the supplies are all looted, and if they bring supplies to them, they will have a lot less. They usually only bring food that can reach the border between the two countries, and then replenish it with looting.
"That's it. Mo Fei muttered to himself.
The Demon Martial Empire never thought that the Longyan Empire would choose to take the initiative to attack. Except for a few small outposts on the border, there were few soldiers. Every year, the Longyan Empire can't defend itself, so why don't they say anything about entering their borders. Because of this, he developed the consciousness of arrogance and arrogance, and felt that the Longyan Empire was nothing more than that.
In order to achieve a quick goal, Mo Fei ordered the 20,000 border guards to leave 10,000 to defend the city, and the other 10,000 to escort forty crossbow carts to meet behind, and he set off with 10,000 elites overnight and advanced towards the destination.
After crossing the border of the Demon Empire, they all attacked the outposts they saw, and did not let any of them go. Because of this, knowing that the Mo Fei soldiers were approaching the city, the army of the Demon Martial Empire found that the enemy had already hit their lair.
Seeing that only 10,000 people dared to attack a city with 40,000 troops stationed, although the other side's warriors looked quite brave. But the leading generals of the Demon Martial Empire were still so angry that their noses were crooked. He immediately issued a battle order, ordering 10,000 border guards to act as the vanguard and go out of the city to destroy this army that dared to enter the territory of the Demon Empire. In his opinion, the armies of the Longyan Empire are all vulnerable, and his own army of 10,000 is more than enough to deal with them.
When the frontier vanguard of the Ten Thousand Demon Martial Empire rushed out of the city in a chaotic manner, they rushed towards the side of the Berserker Legion in a swarm. I saw a dense array of arrows shot from the Berserker Army, and in this case, there was no need to aim at all, just pull the trigger.
When the two armies finally connected, these soldiers of the Demon Empire finally found that they were facing death. Yes, it was death calling them.
Mo Fei's crossbowman forces had shot nearly half of the vanguard of the Demon Empire before the two armies could get closer. Fall back and cover each other in groups of five, aim at each other and continue to shoot. The rest of the troops, under the frenzied attack of 8,000 berserkers, did not last long before they were cut down. Soon, the Berserker Legion retreated, lining up for the next wave of attacks.
Most of these 8,000 berserkers only suffered some skin wounds, and the inferior weapons of the Demon Empire could only slash them.
The general at the head of the city was stunned, and the 10,000 men were gone in a moment. And the other party doesn't seem to be hurt. Enraged, the general himself led 20,000 troops out of the city to line up. This time they brought War Warcraft. At this time, the 10,000 border guards who were responsible for escorting the forty giant crossbows also arrived. Mo Fei ordered preparations and ordered the 10,000 border guards to protect the ballista and not to leave.
"Order, the ballista troops aim at the opponent's monsters and attack freely. ”
Mo Fei gave the order to attack before the other party gave the order.
I only heard the sound of a whistling sound breaking through the air. Countless arrows shot at the demonic beasts in front of the opponent's formation. In an instant, those previously invulnerable demonic beasts fell into a violent situation. You know, Warcraft are also wise, and when they are asked to face death, no matter how good a beast tamer is, it is impossible to control them.
At this time, the opponent's 20,000 neatly arranged team was rushed back by the demonic beast, and the formation was immediately chaotic. When Mo Fei saw this, he hurriedly ordered the ballista to attack the opponent's army instead, and the crossbowman advanced into the range to attack, and the berserker guarded, charging immediately after a salvo.
When the ballista received the order, it immediately pointed at the opposing team, and a little aim was a rain of arrows, the arrows of this ballista were different from the repeaters, and the arrows of this ballista were often exhausted after shooting through several people. At this moment, the opponent's 20,000 people fell like mowing grass under the impact of their own demonic beasts and the attack of the crossbowman troops who shot at close range. Of the 20,000 people, less than 1,000 fled back to the city.
"The ballista enters the siege range and attacks the enemy at the head of the city. Mo Fei gave the order at the right time.
For a while, the ballista reached the siege distance, and another rain of arrows was poured on the guards on the city wall. For a while, the defending troops who were still rejoicing fell in large pieces at once, and the rest were all lying on the city wall and did not dare to show their heads.
Mo Fei looked at it and gave another order: "The ballista is on the rocket and attacks at the maximum distance." ”
At this time, the soldiers defending the city on the other side saw that a firework with a flashing red tail flew over their heads and fell into the houses in the city, and for a while, a raging fire ignited. In the continuous rocket attack, the entire border town was in a sea of fire.
"Withdraw. Mo Fei gave the order to withdraw the troops. There are only 20,000 people on their own side, and the other party will come to retaliate several times more than themselves. Retreat to the city and find a way to strike at the opponent. Mo Fei would not be so arrogant as to think that his troops were truly invincible.

"This time, the Misty City Lord led the Berserk War Legion to attack the Demon Martial Empire, and entered the territory of the Demon Martial Empire, advancing forty miles. In the decisive battle under Feiliu City, the border city of the Demon Martial Empire, in this battle, the army of the Misty City Lord annihilated the more than 40,000 people gathered on the border of the Demon Martial Empire. Only more than 6,000 defenders survived. Before retreating, the Misty City Lord ordered a rocket attack on the opponent's city, and the Demon Empire's Feiliu City has now been destroyed by fire, and even if it is rebuilt, it will take about a year. ”
"Haha, okay! What's the reaction from the Demon Empire?" Emperor Tyran asked happily. has been suppressed by the Demon Martial Empire for so many years, and it is rare to raise my eyebrows once.
"The Demon Empire has sent a note of protest to our country, severely condemning our country for sending a large army to attack their country, and saying that if they do not hand over the leading generals, they will send a large army to wipe out our country. The official in charge of diplomacy replied.
When Emperor Tyran heard this, he fell into deep thought. The overall strength of the army of the Demon Martial Empire is much stronger than that of the Longyan Empire. He had to heed the warnings of the Demon Empire.
"Your Majesty, this is all a consequence of the Misty City Lord, and the minister suggests that Your Majesty issue an order to arrest him and hand it over to the Demon Martial Empire to prevent the situation from expanding. "The Chancellor of the Exchequer always remembered that Mo Fei had taught his son a vengeance and made their family lose face. Now hurry up and fall into the ground.
"Your Majesty, by all means, now our country has finally produced a general who leads the army, and with 10,000 people, he has defeated the opponent's army of nearly 50,000, and this kind of talent is destroyed by ourselves. It will only make other countries laugh. Besides, even if we hand it over, will our empire be safe?" it was Murphy's eldest brother, Count Caesar, who spoke.
"I think it's ............"
"This ...... How's that good?"
"Don't ...... like that"
"That's all it takes, Your Majesty......"
The court of the Imperial Diet was in chaos, and in the end, no one could convince anyone.
When the content of the controversy in the court spread. Vivien was also indignant when she heard this. These ministers usually act as a prestige, but when they encounter threats, they will only make compromises. People who knew Mo Fei well all sweated for him.
Inside the Imperial Capital Academy. Mona, who hadn't seen her for a few months and had a thinner face, became even more dissatisfied with Vivien after hearing about Mo Fei. Mo Fei fought for his royal family and won a great victory, but he still had to face the situation of being handed over to the enemy country to deal with.
Mona, who is worried about Mo Fei's safety, can only find her grandfather to find a way now. As one of the most powerful people in the empire, Mars still has a lot of weight in the empire.
"Little Mona, it's useless for you to worry, although your grandfather and I have some right to speak, but the final decision is still with Your Majesty. Now there are half people in the court who support and oppose it, and no one can convince anyone. Even if he finally plans to hand him over to the Demon Empire, I don't think that kid Mo Fei will be caught with his hands tied. His Misty City is not to be slaughtered. "Mars is an old man, and he can see problems more accurately than Menna, and he is not worried about Mofei's current situation. Just seeing that his granddaughter has been haggard for Mo Fei in the past few months, Mars can't help but feel a little distressed.
Putting aside Mo Fei's own power, there are still many powerful figures in the empire who support him. Besides, there is a princess relationship. It's not that easy to deal with Mofei.
Reality soon gave everyone the answer. On the night of the meeting, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and several other ministers who had advocated for the handling of Murphy were assassinated.
Since you can't make up your mind Emperor Tyranny, then I'll help you make a decision in Misty City. Although Mo Fei is not there. But the Council of Elders of Misty City unanimously passed a resolution to assassinate the Chancellor of the Exchequer and others.
The next day, Emperor Tyron did not react much to the assassination of the Chancellor of the Exchequer and others. New officials were reappointed, and the handling of Mofei was never brought up again.
Although in the end, the empire did not mention the matter of dealing with Mo Fei again. However, the previous indecisive attitude of Emperor Tyranny still caused a gap between Misty City and the Empire!!
