Chapter 2202: The First Battle
"What?"
The second prince of the Demon Emperor, who received an urgent report for help, stood up suddenly, "The Winged Demon Legion sent over has been surrounded and annihilated?"
"They are besieged by more than 300,000 troops?"
"Isn't the strength of the entire defense line of this Blood River Fortress only 500,000? Yangmen Fortress, how can there be an army of 300,000?"
One question after another emerged from the mind of the second prince of the Demon Emperor chasing the sun, which made the face of the second prince of the demon emperor chasing the sun more and more pale.
In his vision, how can he not understand that this is Ye Zhenqi's best move.
Since he marched into the army, he has taken every precaution and fought steadily, but he didn't expect that he was still calculated by Ye Zhen.
At least in terms of troops, it does not correspond at all.
Their known strength exceeded 600,000.
"Report, His Royal Highness the Prince, the Great Zhou Huoyan Army appeared in the Cairo Fortress, the offensive was fierce, the Cairo Fortress Department, request for support!"
"Huoyan Army, isn't this the elite under the command of the old thief of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion Ji Yuan on the Human and Demon Battlefield, why is he here?"
Subsequently, the expression of the second prince of the Demon Emperor chasing the sun became more and more ugly.
The Winged Demon Legion, arguably the fastest and fastest mobile force under his command, is now trapped in the Yangmen Fortress and must be saved.
However, the other troops rushed to the Yangmen fortress at full speed, even if they only brought the elite, it would take two hours.
And two hours later.......
As a last resort, the second prince of the Demon Emperor slightly changed his offensive against the Blood River Fortress, and personally rushed to the rescue of the army and the Winged Demon Legion of the Yangmen Fortress with 120,000 elites.
At the same time, an army of 80,000 people was sent to support the Cairo fortress, and as for the Blood River fortress, after the 200,000 troops were withdrawn, there were still 400,000 troops, and the offensive could be maintained.
However, on the way to the rescue, the second prince of the Demon Emperor was puzzled.
Obviously, he was armed with millions of soldiers, and came to the Blood River Fortress to take Ye Zhen's head.
Why didn't the war start long before he became exhausted?
It doesn't make sense at all.
Moreover, when such an elite unit as the Huoyan Army arrived at the Blood River Fortress, he didn't get any news at all, which was really .......
Despite this, the second prince of the Demon Emperor is still very optimistic about chasing the sun.
In two hours, the army of Yangmen Fortress and the Winged Demon Legion should be able to hold on, right?
Even if there is a loss, it is within the range of what can be afforded.
It's just that the second prince of the Demon Emperor couldn't dream of chasing the sun, Ye Zhen, just Ye Zhen alone, would restrain the Winged Demon Legion to death.
A geomagnetic field turned the Winged Demon Legion into a living target.
And Ye Zhen's Beihai Tianlang Army used a tyrant-style crossbow covering tactics that ordinary people couldn't imagine.
Attack speed, unusually fast.
Less than half an hour after the reinforcements came out, the second prince of the Demon Emperor received an urgent message.
This urgent news made the second prince of the Demon Emperor's hand shake violently, and his face was unbelievable!
Annihilated!
Fifty thousand Winged Demon Legion, except for the Winged Demon Legion Leader and three personal guards who escaped, the other Winged Demons were all wiped out.
After this urgent message, it was an even more urgent letter of help from the demon generals who attacked the Yangmen Fortress.
The army of Yan has been surrounded by the army of the Terrans.
Please help urgently, quickly.
Under Ye Zhen's incomparably fierce offensive, he didn't even have the confidence to last for an hour!
Along the way, the second prince of the Demon Emperor was anxious to chase the sun by one letter after another asking for help, and his mouth was about to burst into flames.
Hurry up, and in two hours, I finally arrived at the Yangmen Fortress.
However, in the Yangmen Fortress, what was waiting for him was the elite under the command of 100,000 He Qi who were waiting for battle, and the 80,000 Beihai Tianlang Army.
As for the demon army that attacked the Yangmen Fortress before, there are still 50,000 remnants, and they are making the last resistance under the siege of more than 100,000 troops!
After a little contact, the second prince of the Demon Emperor was frightened by the firepower poured by Ye Zhen's Beihai Tianlang Army.
There are 100,000 elites under the command of the Celebration Period, and Ye Zhen's Beihai Tianlang Army can pour out their firepower to their heart's content.
His 120,000 reinforcements, let alone to rescue the remnants of the trapped Yangmen Fortress, are afraid that they will all fall into it.
This discovery startled the second prince of the Demon Emperor chasing the sun.
In an instant, I thought of the fate of the Demon Emperor's Seventh Prince Congyun.
In less than half an hour, the second prince of the Demon Emperor chased the sun and decisively withdrew his troops, throwing down thousands of corpses.
And Ye Zhen did not pursue.
In fact, the crossbow arrows brought by his Beihai Tianlang Army today have already consumed more than seventy percent, and they can no longer support a high-intensity battle.
Moreover, the fierce battle of more than three hours and nearly seven hours made the soldiers under his command extremely depleted, and they could no longer continue to fight.
As for attacking the remnants of the Yangmen Fortress, Ye Zhen was naturally annihilated at the smallest cost at this moment!
In the barracks, the second prince of the Demon Emperor Chasing Sun stood solemnly in the tent, silent, with a bitter face.
swore to take Ye Zhen's head, but he didn't expect that in the first battle, Ye Zhen gave him an extremely heavy blow.
Skillfully taking advantage of the asymmetry of intelligence, he concentrated superior forces and annihilated the troops he sent to attack Yangmen Fortress.
At the same time, the troops he sent to attack the fortress of Cairo were also severely damaged by the Fire Swallow Army, which was known for its elite!
In the battle of Yangmen Fortress, 200,000 mixed troops and 50,000 winged demon troops were wiped out.
According to later statistics, the 250,000 army only caused less than 40,000 casualties under Ye Zhen's command.
Of the 40,000 casualties, most of them belonged to the command of the Northern Theater of Operations.
However, the price paid by Ye Zhen's side was 20 million crossbow arrows of various colors.
The consumption of crossbows and arrows of the 100,000 Beihai Tianlang Army led by Ye Zhen within three hours has reached the level of crossbow consumption of a million-level legion.
In this battle, the Fire Swallow Army showed extremely strong combat power.
100,000 against 200,000, at the cost of more than 13,000 casualties, annihilated 51,000 demon troops, and the rest were defeated for thousands of miles.
Counting the corpses left under the Blood River Fortress, in the first battle, the number of troops that caused the second prince of the Demon Emperor to chase after the sun exceeded 310,000.
In an instant, the number of the army of the second prince of the Demon Emperor chasing the sun was sharply reduced from one million to seven hundred thousand.
And at this moment, the second prince of the Demon Emperor chasing the sun can be regarded as figuring out the real number of troops under Ye Zhen's command.
The number of troops under Ye Zhen's command is as high as 800,000, and even after this war, it is still as high as 700,000.
In terms of troops, it is still superior.
Oh, by the way, when the enemy army attacking Yangmen Fortress was completely annihilated, the last 30,000 demon elites who were still resisting surrendered one after another in despair.
After distributing the prisoners of war merit with He Qi, Ye Zhen took a little less head, but he got the most elite 20,000 demon prisoners.
The number of demon war slaves under Ye Zhen's command has increased to more than 30,000.
As for military merits, they are still the same, a small number of them are reported, and most of them are sold to supplement the ordnance consumed.
However, after this battle, the battle situation of the Blood River Fortress immediately became different.
Before, the second prince of the Demon Emperor chased the sun and came with millions of soldiers, and he wanted to set foot on the Blood River Fortress.
But after this battle, the second prince of the Demon Emperor chased the soldiers of the sun, and it became embarrassing.
It is not possible to divide the troops, and he does not dare to divide the troops excessively, for fear of being surrounded and annihilated again by Ye Zhen's concentrated superior forces.
To some extent, it was Ye Zhen who took the initiative.
As for the second prince of the Demon Emperor chasing the sun, it was also extremely embarrassing and uncomfortable.
He knew that the current situation was a shortage of troops, but even if the number of troops under his command exceeded eight million, at this moment, he could not draw a large number of troops from other battlefields.
In a short period of time, the Blood River Fortress can only be attacked with the existing forces.
Even if the troops are insufficient, they can only silently look for fighters.
In this case, the originally critical battle situation of the Blood River Fortress has entered a relative stalemate, and it has entered a relatively peaceful period.
There were small frictions and skirmishes, but there were no major battles.
In this case, Ye Zhen, as the commander-in-chief, suddenly became idle.
