Volume 1 Shu Pass Chapter Chapter 73 Vanguard Legion
Shah Limutto rode atop the majestic Heavenly Feather Dragonbeast, and his heart grew with more and more contempt as he watched the shrinking alliance of the three clans behind him.
This time, the 100,000 Heavenly Demon Clan's vanguard legion led by him was all an air cavalry legion composed of dragon sky beasts, equipped with the most sophisticated weapons and equipment, which made his confidence burst.
The Dragon's Sky Beast is a regional specialty of the Tiansha Clan, a mount that can be used in aerial combat, covered with extremely hard dragon feathers, and its sharp double grip can easily tear through its prey. They have a concave back in the middle of their backs that can be used for the saddle of the knight, allowing two people to ride together, and their fully spread winged bodies are a little bigger than the griffons of the Terrans, and they are extremely fierce and imposing!
Sha Limuto looked around, densely packed with Tiansha Clan air rider warriors, and pride arose. He saw that he was not far away, following the Linglong Sky Beast Legion, and the 100,000 Namei Clan Pegasus Legion, the 50,000 Guigu Clan Kumio Legion, and the 50,000 Yudu Clan Yuyu Legion, and the disdain on his face was even worse.
They don't deserve to be compared to the warriors of my Tiansha clan!
When the three of them, Jie Limutu, Guigu Zhi Jian, and Saint Charm Ansom, led the elite of the 300,000 empty beasts of the coalition army and gradually approached the first pass of Shu Pass, the horn was already sounding in the pass, and the alarm bell was ringing for a long time. They wisely landed on the ground for repairs thirty miles away from Shuguan, with the coalition's 300,000 air cavalry troops.
Ansom and Guigu Zhijijian, with 200,000 allied troops of the Three Clans, were stationed in the rear of the army of Sha Limuto. Xudu Talib was in the rear, leading the 200,000 cavalry corps of the three tribes and the Zizhong corps, closely following the air cavalry army, and was approaching them. Obviously, they were on the ice and snow, and their speed was obviously much slower than that of the air cavalry army, and the long expanse of snow was covered with soldiers of the three clans hurrying away.
The vanguard of the Tiansha clan did not have land cavalry this time, and Zizhong was all under the unified responsibility of friendly forces. The 100,000 Linglong Sky Beast Pioneer Legion, they only carried dry food and a full set of equipment, and came to the front line of Shuguan, and at this moment they were repairing thirty miles away from the Shuguan city wall.
Shah Limutuo is currently waiting for the follow-up 200,000 land cavalry to come to converge, and is even more waiting for the specific time when the follow-up larger-scale alliance army legions will arrive at Shuguan.
He's going to set the time for the siege!
He wants to fight, but he can't let the warriors of his clan die in vain!
The original plan of Shah Limutuo was to make a time difference, when he led the vanguard army to attack a certain point along the fifty-mile-wide Shu Pass, during this time, the follow-up 5.5 million alliance army could arrive in time, and could be fully engaged in the siege battle in a timely manner, and the army of the Four Clans Alliance took Shu Pass in one fell swoop.
Open the gateway to the Eastward Terrans!
After consulting with the other three, he decided to lead an army of 300,000 vanguard air cavalry at noon today, with the Sky Horse warriors of the Tiansha clan taking the lead in attacking. At the same time, Ansom divided 50,000 elite Pegasus, and also drew ordinary elite air cavalry from the Xudu clan and the Guigu clan, with a total of 200,000 air cavalry troops, who will follow Sha Limutu to attack the city together. The remaining 100,000 air cavalry, led by Ansom and Zhijian, were in the rear, ready to support or meet the siege vanguard army of Shah Limuto.
Ansenmu and Zhijijian, although they were noncommittal to Sha Limuto's plan, they didn't want all the 100,000 elites of the Tiansha clan to die under Shu Pass in vain. They readily agreed to the siege plan of Shah Limuto, and generously handed over half of the empty horsemen to him for unified command and threw them into the siege.
They were happy to test the truth of Shuguan.
What's more, the armies of the alliance of various clans will arrive one after another, and they believe that even if Sha Limutu fails in the siege, it will not have much impact. Soon the alliance corps in the rear, the 5.5 million army will arrive, and the 200,000 vanguard rear army that is about to arrive will press the formation, and Shuguan will definitely not dare to go out of the pass to pursue.
A win-win situation, they are naturally willing!
And Sha Limuto is eager to capture Shuguan's first achievement!
If you attack Shu Pass in one fell swoop!
They are a celestial clan, and the benefits will be maximized!
It will be remembered by the world and admired by all races!
"Report, report!"
"General Limuto, the air cavalry reconnaissance battalion found out that the 200,000 cavalry behind him could arrive in about half an hour. Among the 5.5 million Alliance troops who arrived in a hurry, 150,000 air cavalry troops were expected to arrive within two hours. Among the legions of the alliance army, the remaining three million cavalry legions, infantry legions, and Zizhong legions, carrying all kinds of heavy engineering equipment and Zizhong, will rush to the city of Shuguan in five hours, please decide!"
The coalition air cavalry reconnaissance battalion kept sending military intelligence reports, all about the arrival time of the follow-up coalition army. Shah Limutu had specifically explained to the reconnaissance battalion that it was important to accurately detect the movements of the Alliance army before he could determine the best time to attack.
"Very good! After ordering the whole army, repair for half an hour, bury the pot to make food, eat and drink enough, and recuperate, I will lead you to break through the Shu Pass, long live the allies!"
"Break through Shu Pass!"
"Long live the Allies!"
"Break through Shu Pass!"
"Long live the Allies!"
The 300,000 vanguard air cavalry army, in the continuous military camp where they settled, suddenly resounded one after another, piercing the sky, inside and outside the vast corridor of thousands of miles, constantly sounding, the momentum was huge, and it spread far away to Shuguan, which made people's hearts tremble!
......
"Hmph! I can't measure my strength, just with an army of 300,000 vanguard air cavalry, I want to capture my Shu Pass, wishful thinking!"
Shu Pass, the top city wall, Chen Jiu's ninth uncle Chen Weidao sneered, he was the supreme commander of Shu Pass, and he was also the general of Zhenxi of the Shu Han Dynasty. His words made the generals at all levels, who heard the clamor of the alien vanguard army opposite, become quite nervous, and their tense mood immediately relaxed, revealing their relaxation before the war.
"General, the sons and daughters of Shuguan can't wait to drink the blood of the alien race! I also ask the general to give an order, let me lead the air cavalry, go west out of Shuguan, smash the invading enemy, and kill all their vanguard army, so as to strengthen the prestige of our army!"
Many generals had relaxed expressions and asked for battle.
"Fool! There are many crossbow beds, bows and crossbows like clouds, arrows rain like shuttles, guns like mountains, javelins like arrows, fire oil like seas, swords and guns like forests, countless soldiers, and many powerful firearms provided by Chen Jiu's bastard boy. If you don't let those god-damn alien races shed their blood under Shu Pass in advance, how can you easily fight with that damn alien race in the wild. Good steel is naturally used on the blade, if you want to fight, there is an opportunity, why rush for a while. Let them first shed thousands of miles of blood under the walls of Shuguan, and then it will be the time for Shuguan Erlang to kill them all!"
Chen Weidao's "idiot" scolded many generals with shame!
When they were excited, they forgot the fundamental role of Shuguan!
"The general has taught me a great lesson, I'm waiting for Meng Lang!"
They laughed one after another, the tension of the big battle completely disappeared from their faces, and their expressions became more determined, and the hearts of generals at all levels were full of confidence in victory.
The general Chen Weidao, worthy of being a model of old scheming, quickly dissolved the monstrous momentum on the opposite side, and also completely appeased the unstable hearts of many generals in Shuguan.
It can be seen that the Chen family in Shuzhou led the troops.
There is a set of royal strategies, which is convincing!
......
After half an hour of repair, the four alien vanguard air cavalry armies, after waiting for the follow-up cavalry and Zizhong Corps to arrive, soon began to sit on the empty beasts under the urging of Sha Limutuo, preparing to attack the first pass of Shu Pass. The direction they chose to attack was the position above the city wall on the left side of the city led by the Barbarian Tartars, the dragoon lightning army, and the first artillery battalion of the Thunder New Army led by the barbarian Tartars.
"Boom!"
"Woooooo
The noisy drums and horns of the attack sounded, and thirty miles away from Shuguan, the elite vanguard air cavalry army composed of the four ethnic coalition forces sat on the empty beast mounts, and they rushed to the Shuguan city wall with their swords unsheathed, javelins clenched, bows and crossbows ready, and murderous spirit.
Start the first round of tentative sieges!
The higher they fly, the more ten, fifty, one hundred, two hundred, and three hundred zhang gradually parallel to the top of Shuguan.
The final height is only slightly higher than the city wall!
Three hundred zhang is the limit height that many elite soldiers can withstand to fight the enemy freely. Even if the empty beast can hold on to this height, the knights above the empty beast cannot support it for a long time in the fierce battle.
This is the experience of thousands of years of major alien tribes attacking cities!
This is also the result of the Shu Han Dynasty's fight against foreign races and the construction of Xiongguan!
Three hundred zhang, nearly 1,000 meters high for air combat, is the ultimate altitude!
If it is no matter how high it is, the knights above the empty beast, and even the empty beast, after going through violent movements, will soon fall into an inexplicable state of qi deficiency, nausea, fatigue, dizziness, loss of control, and even coma, resulting in a great reduction in combat power, and even falling into the air, with no bones left!
All ethnic groups in the Zhongzhou continent call this phenomenon "the punishment of the canopy"!
The end is magical!
If Chen Jiu knew, he would definitely laugh, but he wouldn't tell them: "This is caused by high oxygen deficiency! Wearing an oxygen mask can solve it perfectly, what a simple thing!"
Of course, the exact reason for this is still undecided!
