Chapter 382: Convergence (2)
Tie Kun and Mu Lian handed over their mounts to Hu Cong's care, and hurried to the direction of the Chinese military camp with Mu Tu. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Dashuai!" Tie Kun whispered, asking for Mueller's reception, but before they could open the big tent, they heard a faint sound of smashing objects in the big tent, and they heard a "whoosh" sound, a table whistled through the tent curtain, and the three flashed, and the table "snapped" and smashed on the black dragon wooden flag post in front of the tent, shattering to the ground.
"Get out of here, get out of the way, I told no one to disturb me, you dare to disobey my orders!" roared in the big tent.
The three of them looked at each other, but walked towards the tent anyway.
As soon as he entered the tent, he only heard a "whew", and a battle axe carried a chilling and astonishing wrinkle, smashing his head and face into the face of the iron kun. The loss was also Tie Kun in front, and in a hurry, a pair of iron fists condensed the fist prints of the surging light, and the sound of "bang" was like a thunderbolt that suddenly bombarded down in two phases, and the energy generated by the exchange blew the items in the big tent to the ground.
It was also thanks to the fact that the material of the great tent was extremely strong, that it did not fall down immediately.
The black rock slab under Tie Kun's feet had been shattered, and before he could recover his strength, another axe was chopped down with the momentum of wind and thunder, and this time Tie Kun knew that between him and Muller, the difference in strength was even, and it was difficult to resist this axe, and his huge body flashed to the side with incredible agility, and he heard a "stab" sound, and the extremely tough curtain behind him broke in response.
"Big brother!" exclaimed Mutu in a deep voice, reaching out to release a black glow that bound the impulsive and irrational Mueller like a rope.
Mueller and Mutu were the twenty-ninth and thirty-fourth sons of Muhao, the king of the Black Stone Khan, respectively, but they were on the same mother's knees, with Mueller being the eldest and Mutu being the third.
And the tribe where their mother clan is located is also one of the six most powerful tribes in the Black Stone Khanate except for the royal Mu clan, which is why Mueller has the ambition to compete for the throne of Khan.
Mu Lian's mother clan, in the country of Black Stone Khan, is only as strong as the Iron Cliff clan, which is somewhat insignificant, so among Mu Hao's many children, the status is also the lowest.
Mu Lian also stepped forward at this time, her eyes were purple, and she said to Mu Eller in a rosemary voice: "Mu Le, come and see me!" Mu Lian, who was already drunk and lost his mind, subconsciously looked at Mu Lian, and instantly lost his consciousness in Mu Lian's strange pupils.
Tie Kun also came over at this time to help Mutu hold the limp Muller, and only then did the three of them see that the tent was in disarray, and there were several corpses that had been split in half or had their chests sunken in it, presumably because Muller was unwilling to face the previous series of setbacks.
Muller could not command the army for the time being, so Mutu could temporarily take over the burden, and summoned the barbarian generals who followed Mueller to garrison Dazhai to inquire about the details of the previous battle, and there were also barbarian generals from the Iron Cliff Department among them.
After Tiekun was robbed of military power, more than 3,000 soldiers of the Iron Cliff Department were incorporated into the rear led by Mutu, but there were also 14,500 men who were stationed in the camp with Mueller in advance.
Fortunately, Tie Kun returned to the Iron Cliff Department over the years and passed on the methods taught in the training record to the children of the tribe, so even if he was robbed of military power and not in Dazhai, the barbarian generals in charge of the troops on his behalf in the Iron Cliff Department also knew how to grasp the fighter.
When the first wave of the offensive did not tear apart the shield formation of the Longxiang army, the barbarian generals of the Iron Cliff Department knew that things were not good, and took the initiative to ask Muller to fight, asking to attack the flank of the Longxiang army, in fact, to break away their own soldiers from the increasingly crowded barbarian battle formation and gather them on the right flank.
When the Wind Flame Heavenly Machine hidden in the ice was prohibited, and when it absorbed enough Xuanyang Gangyuan to melt the ice clouds, the soldiers and horses of the Iron Cliff Department were the first to break through and leave, and they were still well preserved.
This is also the key reason why the drunken Muller, when he heard the voice of Tie Kun, lost his mind even more.
Listening to the narration of many barbarian generals, Mutu was so angry that he gritted his iron teeth and panted heavily.
Tie Kun's heart was cold, that familiar figure lay in his heart, like a mountain that could not be crossed, but he knew that it was impossible to persuade Muller to do anything, it would only bring him death in a short time, and when it was a priority, he should first think about how to preserve the strength of the Iron Cliff Department in the next battle!
All three sighed, packed up their tents, and waited quietly for Muller to wake up and make plans.
The whistling north wind poured in along the cracks in the tent, blowing the brazier almost to extinguish, but they had no intention of ordering the tent door to be repaired, but fortunately the demon was not afraid of the cold, and for a while, there was no other sound in the tent except the howling north wind and the thunderous snoring of Muller.
***************************
Wu Cheng said goodbye to Huayang Cave Mansion and went all the way to Guanhe City.
When he arrived in Guanhe City, he discussed with Zhou and other generals, and summoned Wu Jingyin and others, and the news of the reinforcement of Tonghekou in the afternoon spread throughout the city.
Early the next morning, tens of thousands of people had already surrounded the camp in the east of the city.
On the school field, the three thousand soldiers were all dressed in excellent armor and were in good spirits waiting for the review. It is also to show enough sincerity, the 3,000 county soldiers who were transferred to participate in the war this time are the real elite cavalry of Tianshui County, and the most basic equipment is the green cunning war horse and the quenching gold level armor.
After Wu Cheng's lengthy words were finished, Wu Jingyin and the others waved their arms majestically and ordered the army to set off to Yucheng Ridge in the north!
The people outside the camp were thunderous again, in their opinion, the Huayang Sect, which had been languishing for decades, was finally about to rise, as long as the thousands of miles of fertile land between Yuchengling and Hengshan were recaptured, would the good days of Tianshui County be far away?
A group of people consciously moved out of the way, watching the rolling iron horses step out of the quaint and mottled city gates.
Although there was no response from the wind and flame airship, the feet of the green and cunning war horse were extremely fast, and they slept in the wind and food along the way, and went north along the cliff at the western foot of Qintong Mountain, and rushed all the way to the mouth of the Tong River three days later.
Chen Hai and Liao Yunkui had already received the summons from Linghu, and they had already arranged to be stationed in the camp here, and on this day, they specially asked Zhou Jun, Wu Jinglin, Zhou Jingyuan and others to greet them outside Dazhai on their behalf.
And Chen Hai and Liao Yunkui were also waiting in front of the garrison arranged for the reinforcements, and they also arranged banquets for Wu Jingyin, Wu Yao and other reinforcement generals.
"Master, there are 300,000 horses in the Tianshui County Army, and they said that they sent troops to help, but they only sent these 3,000 people. Qi Hanjiang watched the three thousand people in front of him settle in the camp one after another, full of dissatisfaction, and complained to Chen Hai in a suppressed voice.
Chen Hai smiled bitterly: "They are the way of smart people, seeing that our Longxiang army has already won the victory at the mouth of the Tong River, if Wu Zhou and the other clans have nothing to say, they will lose far more than face." However, they still have cowardice in their hearts, worried that there will be repetition on the Tonghe estuary, and they have just had an awkward quarrel with Liao Yunkui, so they will not immediately send 100,000 troops to reinforce them. Although only a few people were sent, they had already expressed their attitude towards joining the war. Moreover, they still don't know what the attitude of the lord clan is towards our dragon army, and they can't show too much courtesy, so that they are isolated among the clan clans. So, they're working hard!"
"......" Qi Hanjiang scolded dumbfounded, he was extremely talented in martial arts cultivation and even marching formations, but he was really not good at Taoism and human feelings, conspiracy and calculation, thinking that compared with the lord in this regard, he was probably as far as Xuan and Dao tires.
Wu Jingyin is Wu Jinglin's brother and Wu En's second son, but he is much older than Wu Jinglin, he is more than sixty years old at this time, and his cultivation is stuck in the late stage of the Ming Qi Realm, and it is difficult to improve, and he is also the most core general of the Wu clan in the Tianshui County soldiers in addition to Wu Cheng.
In the early years, Tongkou City was subordinate to the Yuchengling defense line, and Wu Jingyin still remembered the scene before Tongkou City was abandoned.
Even after the Tianshui County soldiers were placed in the Yuchengling defense line, the demon barbarians were not in a hurry to destroy Tongkou City, and even operated Tongkou City for a time, and finally more than 40 years ago, Tianshui County and Hexi joined forces to destroy Tongkou City, so that the demon barbarians would not have a long-term stronghold in the north.
In the First World War more than 40 years ago, Wu Jingyin also participated, and he also watched the complete destruction of Tongkou City with his own eyes.
Time flies, time flies, he has seen a lot of broken cities, and he only came with blood when he set off, but there was no hope for the state of Tongkou City.
But now in front of him, it is like a long-standing hero.
Although the newly built sections of the city wall are less than two meters high, under the auspices of Su Yuan, Zhou Jingyuan and others, the method of building the city is different from the tradition.
Long Xiangjun was not in a hurry to enclose all the city walls, but first collected the remnants of bricks and gravel inside and outside the city walls, transferred two refining furnaces from Liquan, and then mined four or five hundred catties of iron ore every day at the northwest foot of Qintong Mountain, more than 300 miles away from the mouth of the Tong River, and transported it into Tongkou City with a wind flame airship, opened the furnace to make iron, and poured the melted iron juice directly onto the dilapidated old city wall.
Pour a layer of iron juice, spread a layer of gravel, and slowly increase the height layer by layer.
In such a short period of time, in the depths of Qintong Mountain in the east of the Tonghe estuary, iron ore was excavated, and tens of thousands of strong laborers were dispatched to mine iron ore, and an average of 3.5 million catties of iron ore mining capacity per day was quickly formed, which was also the embodiment of the strength of Tianji Academy Palace and Longxiang Battalion.
Of course, Wu Jingyin suspected that Chen Hai had been prepared for the seizure of the Tonghe estuary for a long time, so he acted so quickly.
Although this method of building the city is extremely slow, and the walls built plus the remnants of the city walls are only more than two meters high, the foundation is extremely strong and indestructible, and it can be described as a real city of gold and stone.
Then, inside and outside the main city wall, one to three rammed earth retaining walls and ditches were built.
Wu Jingyin can also be regarded as a good general, seeing the deployment of the walled city at the mouth of the Tong River, he also knew that Chen Hai did not want to completely block the demon barbarian soldiers from the city, but more importantly, to limit or suppress the action of the besieging barbarian soldiers, and then the generals of the Long Xiang battalion, relying on the low and strong main city wall, repeatedly fought bloody battles with the demon barbarian soldiers, and finally held the mouth of the Tong River.
In order to implement such tactics, the main city wall even left more than a dozen gaps of different sizes to facilitate the entry and exit of their own infantry soldiers and celestial chariots.
In the past, Wu Jingyin would have felt that Chen Hai was too arrogant, but with the previous several victories at the bottom, who can be sure that this will not be a meat grinder battlefield that devours countless demon barbarian soldiers?
At this time, it had only been more than half a month since Chen Hai took Tongkou City, and a ruined city had been re-armed, under the bloody sunset, glowing black and blue, mixed like a beast waiting to devour people, standing in the thousands of miles of wasteland.
At this time, hundreds of miles away in the northwest direction, there was a group of hundreds of demon elites riding all kinds of war beasts slowly southward.
The barbarian general at the head was dressed in red heavy armor, covered with green scales, and short, sharp fangs protruding from the two corners of the thick blood lips, and under his crotch was a fierce green barbarian beast.
The Dazhai where the remnants of Mueller were stationed was already in the field of vision of this barbarian general, with a hideous smile on his ferocious and ugly face, and slowly walked forward with the elite soldiers behind him......
