Chapter 479: Shocking
It was already dusk, and the evening breeze was blowing on the prairie, and the green grass rustled. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Zuo Vulture, with the unconscious Yuanhai, surrounded by hundreds of remnants of the general, galloped westward, but his heart was cold.
At this time, Zuo Vulture's mind was blank, not that he didn't think about it, but that he didn't know what to think at all.
The road under his feet was very familiar, and he could even recognize that these traces were left by the reinforcements he led the day before yesterday, but he couldn't have imagined that in just over a day, Qinhaidu City would fall, and he would take this remnant of the army to re-embark on this road, what face did he have to face the patriarch and go to see the Zongzi of the Tuoba Department to pull the banner.
With a "poof", the distracted Zuo Eagle didn't even protect Yuanhai and let him fall from under the brocade saddle.
Although the bleeding had stopped, Yuan Hai, who had fallen to the ground and rolled twice, still moaned a few times unconsciously.
The left vulture hurriedly came down and carefully helped Yuanhai to the green beast. Seeing this man fall into a situation where he didn't know life and death in order to save himself, he was full of remorse, his legs were weak, he knelt on the ground, and cried in the grass.
It's just that the grassland is empty, and the howling and crying dissipates not too far away with the gentle evening breeze, and all the generals have become lost dogs, and when they see the left eagle like this, they are all panicked, and they don't know what fate awaits them in the end.
***************
Chen Hai sat on a double-wheel bronze car, holding a secret talisman scroll and looking at it carefully, moving forward with the copper swaying in the depths of the grassland.
At this time, the stars had already risen, and the Tuoba Department a hundred miles away stopped, and the Iron Cliff Army also stopped to reorganize the formation and dig the stove according to Chen Hai's wishes, and was not in a hurry to press up.
After a short period of effort, the smoke of the cooking stove rose, if it weren't for the murderous elite soldiers accompanying him, what a good night tour scene it should be.
In the distance, a spirit hoof flew through the clouds and flew directly towards Chen Hai's side.
Linghu's elegant figure hovered in mid-air for a while, landing on Chen Hai's shoulder, looking left and right, unusually handsome.
Chen Hai put down the scroll, stroked the feathers of the spirit hoist with a smile, took down the secret letter tied to the scale claws, and raised his arm to let the spirit hoop break through the air.
Opening the snow-white letterhead, Chen Hai smiled slightly, and said to Cang Yi, Zhang Xiong, and Granny He, who came over: "Senior Brother Yan is very sharp in using soldiers, and at this time, he has already taken down Qin Haidu......
The Black Yan army retreated north, although the hunger and cold were severe, and the casualties were heavy, but the people who followed Yan Yuan were all determined people, and it was not surprising that they could take Qinhaidu so quickly. Zhang Xiong said.
Chen Hai nodded, thinking that as long as Yan Yuan knew the meaning of Qinhaidu and dared to sacrifice, it would not be surprising to take Qinhaidu before the enemy had time to adjust its military deployment.
Chen Hai asked people to hurry up and tell the news to Tie Kun in the front camp, and soon they heard the barbarian generals in front of them shouting excitedly, who knows what it means for the Black Yan Army to take Qinhaidu first......
********************
Almost at the same time, Tuoba Banner also received the news of the fall of Qinhai Ferry.
Although he has always been worried that Yuanhai and Zuo Eagle will not be able to hold Qinhaidu, he never thought that Qinhaidu would fall so quickly, his heart was cold, standing under the moonlight, his huge body trembled slightly, a year ago he led his troops to cross the Tong River to the east, who would have thought that a year later he would face such a mountain and water.
Zuo Vulture was too hasty on the way to flee west, and hurriedly sent a message to inform him of the defeat, and he wrote very little about the fall of Qinhaidu, but the words were full of remorse and shame, and he wanted to rush over to ask Tuoba Banner and Zuo Yang to plead guilty, and Tuoba Banner hated so much that he wanted to tear the letter to shreds.
Even if the 20,000 war cavalry of the Black Yan Army gathered before them, Qinhaidu, which had been in business for so many years, was lost so easily?
After decades of conquest in Hanhai, no matter what kind of predicament, Tuoba Banner was finally able to find a solution at the most critical time, but now, he was completely panicked, why did so many Terran elites pour out of Yaoshan, and why did the Black Yan Army raid Qinhaidu after hibernating Chimei Lake without hesitation?
There are too many puzzles, he can't see through them, he can't solve them, this battle is left to fate, how else can he fight?
This kind of powerlessness is something Tuoba Qi has never had, and it almost completely destroys his spiritual will, Zuo Yang and the other generals are also full of ashes, and they really don't know what they are going to do next?
The next morning, the sun poured light and heat on the prairie as usual, but for the generals of the Tuoba Division, they did not feel the slightest warmth.
Qin Haidu fell and the way back was blocked, not that Tuoba Banner could cover it, Qin Haidu was a thousand miles away from them at this time, although Zuo Hu had not escaped back, but within a thousand miles of left and right, there were still some large and small barbarians living in water and grass, and the news was also spread.
These barbarians originally chose to belong to the Tuoba tribe, but overnight, they all chose to flee from their habitat, unwilling to interfere with the Tuoba tribe anymore.
Today, the Tuoba Department changed its direction, no longer advancing in the direction of Qinhaidu, but pulling out the camp to the northeast and the river bay area where the Tong River flows into the Hanhai, embarking on a more uncertain road.
What made Tuoba Banner even more vigilant was that the Iron Cliff Division's movements had accelerated today, and by the time it was dusk to set up camp, the distance between the two sides had narrowed by thirty miles.
Tuoba Banner can no longer judge the situation now, after all, if he wants to bring back the 80,000 elites under his command, there are not many options left for him.
************************
The moonlight was like water, shining on several figures running wildly in the night.
At noon, the 10,000 cavalry behind Zuo Vultures met him, and they were really taken aback by the tragic situation of Zuo Vultures and Yuan Hai.
Could it be that the thousands of guards in Qinhaidu only escaped from them?
The commander of this army learned that the pontoon bridge was still there, so he wanted to take this opportunity to rush over in one go and recapture the Qinhai ferry.
Zuo Vulture stopped his thoughts expressionlessly, the pontoon bridge is just a chain of dozens of fishing boats with iron cables, which can be destroyed at any time, the Black Yan Army is not in a hurry to destroy, on the one hand, it is possible that the main force of the Black Yan Army also wants to cross the river and march westward, on the other hand, the Black Yan Army is more likely to deliberately leave the pontoon bridge to lure them to attack.
After handing over Yuanhai to the reinforcements, Zuo Vulture hastily ate something, and then rushed over with a dozen horsemen to join Tuoba Banner.
By the time they arrived, it was already late at night, and the camp of the Tuoba tribe was plunged into darkness, and occasionally a few bright lights were dotted, which looked extraordinarily decadent.
When they approached the barracks, someone had already greeted them from afar, and when they saw that it was the left vulture, they bowed down and saluted, and they were about to take the left vulture to the Tuoba banner tent.
The left vulture, impatient with their grinding, asked the direction and ignored the noise of hooves, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army.
Tuoba Banner is like passing in fire and water these days, and when he can't sleep at night, he sits in the tent in a daze, turning over and over in his mind, all of which are scenes of his own fiasco.
It wasn't until the sound of noisy hooves sounded outside the account that the arrival of the left vulture was discovered. As soon as the color was correct, the left eagle opened the curtain and rushed in, and when he saw Tuoba Banner and Zuo Yang, he fell to the ground and cried.
In the dim light, Tuoba Banner tried several times to stop the left eagle from screaming, but to no avail. It took a while for the left eagle to stabilize his emotions.
"Zongzi, I'm afraid that you and I will be in trouble this time. Left Eagle said in a choked voice.
Tuoba Qi frowned, he knew that the fall of Qinhai Ferry was too big a blow to Zuo Vulture, so he waited patiently for him to tell him the details of the fall of Qinhaidu.
"The Black Yan Army seems to be weak in Chimei Lake, but when the soldiers arrived outside Qinhai City, they used a heavy crossbow to blast open the west gate of Qinhaidu in just two or three breaths, and the sons and daughters had no strength to resist at all......"
Zuo Vulture's words stunned Tuoba Banner and Zuo Yang on the spot.
He knew the city defense of Qinhaidu, and he also advocated the repair of the city and the construction of the bridge attached to Qinhai, the whole body of Qinhaidu City was built with huge stones, and the city gate was also made of thousand-year-old solid wood, wrapped with an inch thick of fine copper.
It can be said that even if the Dao Dan Realm powerhouse personally took action, it would be impossible to destroy the city gate in a short period of time.
Tuoba Qi grabbed the left eagle's shoulder and asked in disbelief, "What? You said that the human race only took three or five breaths to destroy the city wall of Qinhai Ferry?"
Zuo Vultures nodded, and replied sadly: "Yes, the heavy crossbow they used, I have never seen it, the rate of fire is unimaginably fast, and the crossbow arrows they shoot are also unimaginably sharp - the son of the sect and the patriarch, please look at it......"
The left eagle reached out and took out a black iron arrow more than a foot long from his bosom and handed it to Tuoba Yan.
The cluster of triangular arrows was badly deformed and bent, but it was not difficult to judge how sharp it was when it was fired, and the remaining blades shimmered with cold light, and this crossbow arrow was actually made of quenched iron that was hard to find on the grassland, and it was stained with blood.
It is really unimaginable that a crossbow arrow weighs twelve or thirteen pounds -- you must know that a wooden pole war spear may only weigh more than a dozen pounds.
Tuoba Qi's big hand trembled, these quenched heavy arrows were so exquisite, and the materials were so precious, he really couldn't imagine what kind of power this kind of crossbow arrows would be when shot out with a heavy crossbow.
"There are not many such heavy crossbows of the Black Yan Army, but the rate of fire is unimaginably fast, and when it takes a breath, it can shoot almost twelve or thirteen such heavy arrows, and the city gate is torn open by this kind of heavy arrows, and it doesn't even hold up to twenty breaths. ”
Tuoba Banner didn't see the appearance of the Heavenly Machine Repeater when it broke out, so naturally he couldn't guess the power of the Heavenly Machine Repeater. But as long as what Zuo Vulture said is true, then the cavalry brave generals that Tuoba is proud of will have no place to use at all.
Haosheng comforted Zuo Vulture and asked him to rest first, but Tuoba Qi fell into deep thought in the tent again, and felt that his heart was sly and painful.
Suddenly, he remembered a serious matter, the two Terrans of Yaoshan and Chimei Lake were obviously connected, and the Terrans of Chimei Lake had such a terrifying war crossbow, would the Yaoshan Iron Cliff Tribes not have them? Why didn't they use them at such a critical moment?
The expectation of turning his head to fight for a jade piece was also disappointed, Tuoba Qi sighed silently, sat there, I don't know when, the sky was blue, and the noise outside began again, but for today's behavior, Tuoba Qi had no idea at all...... Maybe you can only take one step at a time?
