Chapter 519: The Great War Begins
Wedge: Fighting on the battlefield is brave, fighting after the battlefield...... It's guesswork and wisdom
After a day and a night of siege, and without any substantial resistance from the Deserted Mansion, 10,000 giant scorpions demolished almost one-third of the thickness of the outermost wall. This is already a very exaggerated speed, you must know that this city wall is more than 2,000 meters later, but it was built by using the Spirit King to cut the mountain and open the stone, and it was destroyed by one-third in one day. By the next day, the army of the Scorpion Clan had doubled, and the 20,000 Scorpions continued to attack the fortress. Scorpion Rumo and Scorpion Cai stood in front of the camp gate, they didn't have a combat mission today, it was their turn to rest.
"The army of 20,000 giant scorpions has not yet made a move, and it is really calm," said Scorpion Rumo, who looked at the magnificent city in the distance from here every day. "She should be well aware of the number of giant scorpions, and this change may also be expected by her," Scorpion Cai said, "In another day, she should be able to break through this first line of defense, but she still can't be careless, why she can be so confident always makes me a little concerned", Scorpion Rumo said. "Maybe she thinks 20,000 people are not worth it, but we can't add more, after all, the initiative is still in the hands of the other party," said Scorpion Cai, "Sometimes it's not a good thing to have the initiative," Scorpion Rumo said.
Another day passed, and in the evening, the scorpion army once again increased its troops to the fortress, the first two times during the day, and this time it suddenly attacked at night. The vision on the plain is not good, and there is the cover of night, even if the vision of the spirit is perverted, it is difficult to tell how many troops the other party has increased in this environment for a while. In the fortress, Huang Yao Nian'er and Liao Yun were cultivating in the house, and there were hurried footsteps outside, "Young Master Qi, the Scorpion Clan has increased its troops again, the number is unknown", and after a while, the voice of the soldier who summoned the message sounded. "Got it, the three armies don't need to panic, and they defend themselves as usual", Huang Yao Nian'er said, "Respect the order", the soldier who summoned the message left, and she closed her eyes again and fell into cultivation, as if everything was expected by her.
In the middle of the night, the two women were still cultivating calmly, and the footsteps of the messenger soldiers sounded again, "Young Master Qiyu, the Scorpion Clan has broken through the first city wall", this time the voice was a little dignified, "How many people are there this time", the voice of Huang Yao Nian'er came from the house. "Thirty-six thousand giant scorpions," replied the messenger, at first he didn't know the number because of the darkness of the night, but then the other party continued to attack the city and wanted to know the number of people. "Got it", Huang Yao Nian'er's voice was still calm, "Young master, the people from all sides are waiting in the main hall, ready to discuss how to retreat from the enemy", the messenger said, "Tell them not to worry", Huang Yao Nian'er said. The arraignment soldier's heart beat a big drum, he stood and hesitated for a long time without moving, "Go, just say so", Huang Yao Nian'er's voice sounded again, "Honorable Order!", this time he did not hesitate again.
In the conference hall of the fortress, many leaders or commanders who came to support were gathered together, and they all came to support sincerely, so they were naturally very worried about the current situation. As soon as they saw the summoned soldiers come out, everyone immediately stood up, "Where is the young master of Huangyao?", everyone frowned when they saw that Huangyao Nian'er didn't come out at all. "The young master asked me to tell everyone not to worry", the summoning soldier conveyed the words of Huang Yao Nian'er, "Don't worry??What do you mean", the prince of Lingming Mansion was full of doubts, "The soldiers have already arrived in the city, don't worry?", others also questioned.
"Good commander, what's going on, could it be that the young master of Huangyao has already told you the plan to the commanders", everyone turned their eyes to the various commanders of the wasteland. "If that's the case, why are we in a hurry here", the good commander was also helpless, "Then what should we do, seeing that the army of the Scorpion Clan is driving straight in, if you don't care, the other party will increase its troops again tonight, I'm afraid it will not be impossible to break through the second city wall", the wolf of the beast domain said. Although there are many people who are worried, there are also people who don't care about their appearance, such as the cold spirit smoke in the cold abyss domain, and Yan Man is even more gloating, her purpose is just white pupils, and the so-called support is just a disguise. Because of the prophecy, the white pupils must be in the deserted mansion, and they are almost found in the towns of the deserted mansion, since they are not in the mansion city, they are in the military camp.
"Everyone, please go back, we are also very confused. However, the young master was in charge of the army at the age of six, commanding the whole deserted mansion, and there has never been a single omission in the past ten years, plus there is Miss Yun, since they have not said it, it means that everything is expected by her, we all believe her, and please believe her", said the good commander. "There's no need to go back, since the good commander doesn't know about it, it seems that it must be a top-secret strategy, I'm going to go to the city tower to watch the battle, and see what tricks the young master of the wasteland can use to retreat from the enemy", Wolf Ju left the hall after speaking. Many people also went with him.
The attack of the scorpion clan became more and more fierce, but the second city wall was also very strong, because it had never been eroded by the wind and sand, nor was it affected by any war, and the strong city wall did not have many cracks even if tens of thousands of giant scorpions dismantled and hammered hard. The 36,000 giant scorpions demolished the first wall quickly, but it was only a hole, not the entire wall, so if the scorpion clan wanted to increase its troops, it would have to tear down the first wall even bigger. In addition, no one knows if there will be a sudden attack on the side of the Wasteland, after all, the first city wall is several kilometers deep, and it is not easy to retreat if it is really difficult. Because of the combination of these factors, the advance of the scorpion clan tonight finally chose to retreat near dawn, and only 5,000 giant scorpions were left to continue the siege in the holes in the city wall.
Everyone in the city breathed a sigh of relief, it seemed that because the second wall was stronger than expected, the other party could only temporarily withdraw due to the possibility of being suddenly attacked by the Deserted Mansion. They also somewhat understood a little bit of Huang Yao Nian'er's thoughts, if their side did not move, they would make the opponent fearful, and when they attacked the city, they were afraid of being sneak attacked, and they were afraid that there was some big move waiting for them. But the question is, whether this kind of ultimate move exists, and if it doesn't exist, this invisible threat won't be able to flicker for long. Thinking of this, everyone frowned again.
"Young Master!", Huang Yao Nian'er and Liao Yun also appeared on the city, "Why didn't you go to rest?", Huang Yao Nian'er was slightly surprised, "Young Lord Huang Yao, it's really not a secret, the decisions of your mansion in the past few days have made us very confused, so we watched the battle here all night last night", Ye Bing, the commander of the reinforcements of Xianye Mansion, said. Huang Yao Nian'er smiled slightly, and her eyes were full of light that she had mastered everything, "Thank you for your concern, but everything is expected, and everyone has also seen that the scorpion clan's capture of the city mostly relies on the beast body of the giant scorpion race, so this pair of teeth must be removed to sit back and relax", Huang Yao Nian'er said. There was a touch of decisive killing and coldness in the eyes that controlled everything.
Everyone was stunned, if it weren't for the delicate appearance of the person in front of them, they would all regard each other as a domineering man who looked down on the world, and it seemed that he really deserved to be the commander of tens of millions of troops in the Desert Mansion for more than ten years. That's what everyone thinks. Although they themselves are in charge of the army, the army without the baptism of war and the army of the wasteland are not of the same grade.
"I don't know what the young master's clever plan is", everyone was full of spirits, before they came, they were all first-class leaders in their respective mansions, so they naturally had arrogance, but after these days of fighting, they found that Huang Yao Nian'er's decision-making was mostly blindfolded, and they couldn't keep up with the speed of people's heads. That's why they all have a correct mentality, and that's why they made a statement on the city tower last time and are respectful now. "Wait and see, I don't think it will be too long, and we should see the results tonight. Even if you can't pull out this tooth, you can put it away properly," said Huang Yao Nian'er, staring at the moving army below.
Time rolled forward on the giant wheel of war, and night fell again, this time it was the turn of Scorpion Rumo to be apprehensive, he had already attacked the second city wall, and the other party didn't even make the slightest move, which made him feel as if he had fallen into the middle of the city. "Why, what are you worried about", Scorpion said, "Commander, what is the task tonight", Scorpion Rumo asked, "add 10,000 men again, and break through the second wall at once", Scorpion Cai said. Scorpion Rumo frowned, the advice he gave at the beginning was to increase the giant scorpion attacking the city little by little, but it should be rotated, that is, five thousand in the morning and ten thousand in the afternoon, three thousand in the evening, and twenty thousand in the second half of the night, so that the wasteland could not be fathomed. The purpose is to make the punch prepared by the young master of the Wasteland not know which target to choose, but now that he has increased his troops again, he has a bad feeling.
"What's wrong, is there anything wrong", Scorpion Cai also frowned, "I always think that the people of the Wasteland will make a move, 30,000 giant scorpions, if they are eaten, I am afraid that the siege of the city in the future will be very difficult", Scorpion Rumo said. "Are you too sensitive, today is a thousand giant scorpions attacking the city every day, how do humans know that there will be more troops at night, and at first it will only increase the number of people as yesterday, and then suddenly increase the number of troops. Even if they react, the second wall will probably be breached," Scorpion said. Scorpion Rumo didn't speak, there was nothing wrong with Scorpion Cai's words, but that feeling just lingered. "Commander, I'm going to see the Realm Lord, please be sure to stay still until I return," Scorpion Rumo hurriedly left the camp.
It didn't take long for the main camp to send out to increase the troops again, and the military order in the scorpion clan has always been prohibited, so although the scorpion Cai wanted to listen to the scorpion Rumo, but the two departure orders were not changed, and the second time it was necessary to increase the number of 10,000 people, so in the end she also issued an order to send troops. Just when the human form of tens of thousands of giant scorpions was advancing towards the fortress, the scorpion Rumo also came out of the main camp, and his face no longer had the previous solemnity and hesitation, but a surprised expression, "Sure enough, he is worthy of being the realm master! It seems that in human words~Jiang~ is still old and spicy."
