Chapter 1098: Iron and Blood Battle
Snow fell, a heavy snowfall, enveloping the northern land, cold wind, freezing three feet.
But at the time of the Armageddon exhibition, all the bad weather could not stop the blood surging, Lindong City, the largest central city of the Northern Xuan Empire, had been surrounded by war at this moment, burned into a scorched earth, and the land around the city was ten miles away, dyed with blood.
The army of the Shenlong Empire has been attacking for a whole day, although the loss is not small, but Luo Tianwu has not stopped, Lindong City is a hard bone, but it must be gnawed down, the Beixuan Empire gambles with the fortune of the country, and Luo Tianwu must also pay the price.
Fighting for national strength is a kind of consumption, this is the last thing Luo Tianwu wants, but she has already done this, such a big sacrifice, there will be something to gain.
"Pass the order, transfer the 16th Corps, the 18th Corps rear flank attack, the 19th and 14th Corps retreat to rest, and tell the generals that within three days, they will definitely capture Lindong City and destroy the will of the defenders of the Northern Xuan Empire."
"Yes, Marshal." At the time of this kind of battle, it is of course Gisaier who can stay by Luo Tianwu's side, although Gisaier is a fierce general on the battlefield, but at this time, he must follow Luo Tianwu's side closely, not only to ensure her safety, but also to listen to orders at any time and prepare to attack.
Giselle is not only a general, but also one of the imperial concubines, in the name of being tough in the army, and cooperating with Luo Tianwu's big war plan, he also paid a lot.
At the same time, somewhere in the northwest canyon.
A long convoy of grain was attacked, and this was the bait that Qingyue used to lure the Ice Cavalry.
The other party's thirst for food and grass made them know the danger, but they still did not give up the desire in their hearts, the strength of the Beixuan Empire was too consumed, and many people would die without grain and grass, as a tribe, they could only be self-sufficient, such a large food transportation team could meet the consumption of their tribe for a month, maybe more people could spend the winter and pick up a life.
Qingyue prepared three ambush locations for the other party in the food team's itinerary, and this is the second one, and the other party can't bear to make a move.
"Star envoy, send the order down, seal the exits at both ends of the canyon, and force them down."
The star envoy left, Qingyue smiled indifferently on her face, turned her head and shouted, "Master Li." ”
"I've seen Niangniang, what does Niangniang command."
"Did you bring the person I wanted?"
"The previous batch has already been brought, more than 10,000 people, and more than 30,000 followers, because of the long distance, it is estimated that it will take about three days."
Qingyue nodded, and said with great satisfaction: "The Li family master has done a good job, this credit will be remembered by the palace, and when he returns to Dragon City, His Majesty will have his own reward." ”
The head of the Li family immediately said: "Don't dare, don't dare, serving the empire is also the glory of our family, this northern war, we have gained a lot." ”
This time, the master troops of the family who followed Qingyue, although they have lost a lot to this day, but they have gained a lot, take the Li family as an example, the gains are ten times, under the huge benefits, this small casualty is not worth mentioning at all, the heritage of the family, so that they are willing to make greater efforts and harvest more wealth and benefits.
Qingyue knows what the family wants, so she gives it very neatly, and she works the battlefield, which really doesn't care at all, but these people from the family don't know that Qingyue's heart has begun to prepare to collect wool, although the family is a sharp weapon in her hands, but it can't be excessive, when the Northern War is over, half of the family here will disappear.
Only those who obey the orders of the empire can survive, and Qingyue knows that the head of the Li family is a smart person, and talking to a smart person is simple.
This time, Qingyue ordered that the masters of the family attack and captured the clansmen of the Ice Plains Tribe, these tens of thousands, or not all, but it is enough, if the Ice Cavalry is loyal and does not surrender, then these tens of thousands of tribesmen will die under the sword, although Qingyue is just a woman, she will never have mercy on the enemy.
This approach is inappropriate in the end, so Qingyue will let the family take action, even if an explanation is needed in the end, someone will take the blame, and the family is the best candidate.
The head of the Li family may have guessed it, but he didn't dare not follow, along the way, the fate of the family has been united with Qingyue, and the head of the Li family is also very clear, the woman in front of him looks delicate, but the means are ruthless, and now she controls the shadow guard of the Shenlong Empire, and is deeply trusted by the emperor, if she is dissatisfied, they are the people of the family, I am afraid that it will be difficult for one of them to go back alive.
To kill them, of course, they would not be blatantly killed, but the head of the Li family did not dare to take such a risk.
Indeed, after the family has gained a lot of benefits, some people have become surging and can't see the situation clearly, these people should be among the swept away, the head of the Li family knows very well that the imperial concubine in front of him has not made a move, just because they are still needed, once the Northern War is over, the fate of these people will definitely be miserable.
This is the Shenlong Empire, everything is based on the interests of the empire, and you can't see the situation clearly, and you deserve to die.
Therefore, he has this conjecture in his heart, but he will not say it, he will die by himself, and he can't blame anyone.
30,000 ice cavalry, impacting tens of thousands of grain transport teams, of course, the ice cavalry is the union of more than a dozen tribes in the ice field area, and the 30,000 cavalry has already drawn out the soldiers of the various tribes in the ice field, so the Li family master and their family masters will move so smoothly, of course, it is also because the Beixuan Empire has emptied the private armies in various places, and they are all filled in the second line of defense.
After Bear City, there are no troops to guard it at all, so they can come and go as they please.
"Chief, chief, it's not good, the entrance to the canyon is blocked by boulders, and we are trapped in the canyon and can't get out."
A guard general looked anxious, rushed in with tattered armor, and knelt in front of the cavalry leader who was stationed on the high platform of the horse, he was the guard general who was left behind and guarded the rear road, but there were a thousand cavalry under his command, and he was defeated so easily.
Hundreds of masters of the world shot in unison, and a thousand cavalry, of course, were defeated like a mountain, and almost in a few breaths, they were killed, and there was no strong counterattack at all.
The leader was middle-aged, with a bronze face, and after hearing this, he frowned tightly and asked sharply, "How many people are on the other side?" ”
"Leader, I can't see it clearly, the other party is a master, intercepting and killing our cavalry, a few faces, all my 1,000 cavalry fell, and the general was seriously injured, so he fled back to report to the leader."
"Shoot the arrows." On the high cliffs on both sides of the mountain gorge, there was a cold order, and the next moment, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the cavalry who were attacking the grain transportation team landed one after another, and the screams came one after another.
When the leader saw it, his face darkened, in fact, before this operation, some people raised opinions, I am afraid that it was a trap set by the other party, but unfortunately, food and grass are too important for several major tribes, in addition to self-sufficiency, they also want to save the tribesmen, so even if it is dangerous, it is worth a try.
Now it seems that the other party has indeed set a trap with grain and grass.
"Quick, rush over, pass the order, attack the back valley, be sure to break through the opponent's defense, or we will die here today."
"Chief, what about all this grain and grass?"
With a slap of "snap", the leader was anxious and scolded: "I don't even have my life, what kind of food and grass do I care." ”
Looking at the appearance of this general, you can know how big the temptation of grain and grass is.
After the cavalry found out, they gave up the grain and grass, ready to break through, 30,000 cavalry is also considered elite, these people live on the ice field, they have grown up on horses since they were children, they are natural cavalry, and the physique is very amazing, wielding a war knife, breaking through layers of barriers, until they rushed to another entrance to the canyon.
It's just a pity that this place is surrounded by heavy troops, in addition to the heavy cavalry of the 30,000 Shenlong Empire, there are more familiar faces, these are the clansmen of the various tribes of the Ice Plain, they are tied together by ropes one by one, their faces are pale, and their bodies are trembling with fright, they were originally the most innocent civilians, just to survive, and they don't want to participate in the war in the world, but unfortunately, there are some things, and they can't help it.
The 30,000 cavalry, stopped at this moment, looked at the formation in front of them menacingly, and were angry in their hearts, eager to rush over immediately, tear the other party to pieces, and save their own clansmen and relatives.
The soldiers parted ways, and a war horse slowly stepped forward, it was Qingyue wrapped in a white robe and cloak, Qingyue looked indifferent, glanced at the cavalry troops in front of her, and a cold chuckle appeared on her face.
"Cold, surrender, or these people of yours will all die."
Ice Storm was the leader of the Ice Plains Cavalry, and he was so angry that his blood was rolling, and he shouted loudly: "Who are you, you are so shameless, the things on the battlefield should be spoken by the soldiers, and they should not affect their relatives and families, you are too much." ”
"War is not child's play, you Ice Cavalry have caused countless troubles to my empire, this Emperor Concubine is going to deal with you this time, she is ready to let your Ice Cavalry, and even the entire Ice Plains tribe, all be destroyed, but at this moment in the big war, this Concubine feels that you are still useful, so as long as you surrender and use it for me, you can all live."
He shouted coldly: "Although my Ice Cavalry is not a soldier, as a native of the Northern Xuan Empire, how can you surrender to the enemy at such a moment, since you are the imperial concubine, you should use the way of a soldier to compete with me, and use the means of persecution by the clansmen to insult the name of the imperial concubine!" ”
"Concubine Ben is not a warrior, she just wants to solve the most troublesome problem in the simplest way, she only needs a result she wants, and that's enough, cold, Concubine Ben asks you again, do you surrender?"
"Don't you think that I, the Ice Plains, will never be threatened by anything-----"
Qingyue swept her cold eyes and shouted softly: "Kill!" ”
One after another, the war knives fell, and the rows of captured Ice Plains people died under the butcher's knives, and a killing word, more than a hundred living lives, disappeared like this.
This is the difference between her and Luo Tianwu, but on the bloody battlefield, there is no right or wrong, only victory and defeat, instead of using the lives of imperial soldiers to consume the Ice Plains Cavalry, it is better to use the clansmen of these Ice Plains tribes to grind away their fighting spirit.
Qingyue has never been a benevolent person.
Luo Tianwu said that no matter what method he used, he only needed one result, and that was to destroy the Ice Cavalry Clan.
It's really because the Ice Plains Cavalry has brought a lot of trouble to the logistics of the Northern War in these days, and the Armageddon is about to begin, Luo Tianwu doesn't want to miss a big event because of this thorn, so he will let go of power and let Qingyue deal with it.
The method is indeed a bit shameful, but the effect is very good.
"Chief, rush over, kill them, kill them."
The ice storm did not order the charge, because more than a hundred people fell, and more than a hundred people were pushed to the front of the formation, and a long knife with a bloody handle had been placed on the necks of these people, and it could be slashed down at any time.
