Chapter 1 City Break ~ Defeat
Hongtian Continent. The era of cold weapons. War will always be the leitmotif of this era.
The continent is dotted with large and small countries.
Every day new kingdoms are established on the continent, but at the same time, every once in a while, countries of all sizes die.
Various reasons; "Either the lord of the country is mediocre", "or the talent is withering", or the country's military strength is in decline due to unexpected circumstances......!
There seems to be no real hegemon on the continent, only alliances.
Every country, from the Son of Heaven to the common people, is walking on thin ice and ...... carefully!
It's a world of the jungle.
Civilians on the mainland pray for the reunification of the continent almost every day.
This world? Let all the hearts of civilians be traumatized......!
Report!
A voice came from outside the tent, and before the sound could be heard, it penetrated first.
Hiss......!
The horses neighed and the horses' hooves were raised, but they were held back by the men on the horses.
I saw a young and thin figure dressed lightly dressed from the horse and running quickly towards the tent.
Because he ran too fast, he was driven up by clouds of yellow sand and dust behind him.
Entering the tent, the young, thin man landed on one leg and clenched his fists; "General Qiqi, our army has stopped the siege according to the general's order. Our army suffered more than 8,000 casualties, and the enemy suffered countless casualties. ”
The general, who sat at the top of the center, waved his hand.
The young man below folded his hands and did not turn around, but directly bent his back and retreated.
Wait until the outpost scouts retreat. The old man in the center spoke; "What do the generals think?"
The one who is in the center is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Wu State, Ximen Hu.
This attack on Chu was led by Ximen Hu to the soldiers of the three armies, all the way from the border pass of Chu and Wu "Golden Dragon Valley" to the capital of Chu.
Although Ximen Hu's speech at this moment is tepid, he can be said to be under one person in Wu except for Emperor Laozi, above millions of people, how can his power be monstrous?
The Kingdom of Wu has stood in the Hongtian Continent for so many years and has not been swallowed up by other countries. That's all because of the Ximen Tiger suppressing it.
If you look at Ximen Tiger carefully, you will find that he is surrounded by evil qi and blood, and his eyes are even more terrifying, like a hungry wolf that has been hungry for a long time, exuding a faint blue light.
In the country of Wu, no one dared to look into the eyes of Ximen Hu. It seems that the emperor would not do such a boring thing.
However, the emperor of Wu also said to his eunuchs at a certain time, saying that the eyes of Ximen Tiger are not the eyes that people should have at all.
After Ximen Hu spoke, someone finally replied.
A general in the lower right arched his hand; "The last general believes that the state of Chu has run out of food, and now at this time, no one will help the state of Chu, and the death of Chu is a foregone conclusion."
Simon Tiger snorted heavily; "If it weren't for the stubborn resistance of the people of Chu and the mentality of burning jade. How could Yan Guo and Zhao Guo next to them not interfere? ”
Ximen Hu looked up at the outside of the tooth tent and sighed softly; "The people of Chu...... If they had surrendered earlier, the strength and territory of our Wu Kingdom would have doubled? At that time, we will be a powerful country on the Hongtian Continent. But ...... now? What a respectable and hateful Chu people! ”
Instead, Ximen Hu's slightly regretful face immediately turned into ruthless indifference, and the glow returned to Ximen Hu's eyes, and he said coldly and powerfully; "General Zhang was ordered."
A middle-aged man with a big scar on his face suddenly stepped out of the line and calmly arched his hand; "The end will be."
Ximen Hu's cold voice continued to echo in the military tent; "Pass the order, and the whole army will attack the city at noon tomorrow."
Then, Ximen Hu's eyes looked around at the people on the left and right, and roared in a fierce and violent tone; "With General Zhang as the vanguard, after all the generals are ready to attack the Chu State? All the officers above the centurion level in the Chu [***] team were killed, and none were left. ”
The generals who were doing it below were all infected by the Ximen Tiger above, and they were all full of fighting spirit and all got up to face the Ximen Tiger with a bang, their bodies bowed forward slightly, and they all replied sonorously and powerfully; "Order."
Ximen Tiger waved his hand; "Let's all go down and prepare."
None of the generals had any objections, and all of them withdrew one after another.
Ximen Hu was left alone in the huge military tent.
This time, Ximen Hu ordered the killing of all officers above the centurion level in the Chu State, and that was justified.
This battle with the state of Chu did not last long. But it was indeed the most difficult one for Ximen Tiger to fight since he fought so many battles.
It stands to reason that centurions and above can be regarded as military generals, and they should have been the targets of surrender. But all the officers of Chu State were loyal, loyal to the point that they were a little scared of Ximen Hu without self, which made Ximen Hu, who had intended to surrender them, break off the idea of surrendering early.
Think about the wars for more than a year, from the sneak attack on the border town of Chu to the current capital of Chu State, every one is a hard battle. There were a large number of casualties on both sides in each of these battles.
If it weren't for the sudden death of the emperor of Chu, hundreds of officials would have gathered in the capital of Chu. If it weren't for the most important pillar of the soul of the Chu State, the "Hongwu" general would also hurry back to the capital of the Chu State.
If it weren't for various reasons, the Ximen Tiger army raided and took the Golden Dragon Valley, and then killed the Chu State in one go? In normal times, there is General Hongwu guarding the Golden Dragon Valley. Even if Ximen Tiger raises the strength of the whole country of Wu, it will be difficult to capture the Golden Dragon Valley.
It was a natural barrier set up by God for the Chu State, and it was not something that could be easily taken down by manpower.
Don't look at the current Ximen Tiger's army majestically stationed under the capital of Chu? This is at a terrible price.
In this war, in the next ten years, Wu Guo will not think about attacking the city and plundering the land, they can only stay in their own homes to recuperate. There may be a possibility of being coveted by other countries, after all, the consumption of Wu in this war is too great.
In the first battle of Wu and Chu, Wu's national strength was seriously consumed, and the elite soldiers and horses suffered countless losses.
But it has come to this point, and Ximen Hu and they can only ride a war horse and drag the halberd to the end.
、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、、
On the city wall of the capital of the state of Chu, a man with a steady temperament and a golden armor stood on the city wall.
He stood there, and his back alone gave people a sense of calmness like a big mountain.
The word immovable as Tarzan was applied to him in the slightest.
He is the soul of the Chu State, "General Hongwu".
At this time, his right hand rested on the hilt of the saber at his waist. The eyes were extremely overlooking the Wu army camp under the city wall.
The old general Hongwu asked as he looked into the distance; "The crown prince, the princess, the queen mother, and other royal bloodlines have all left the capital safely?"
One of the guards behind Hongwu replied; "I have left, and my subordinates are personally supervising. The Praetorian Guard, the Yulin Army, and Ah Er, Ah Hu and others escorted together. ”
Konoe said again; "The escorts are all absolutely reliable people, and they are all natives of the Chu State. They left last night, and by the hour, they should have reached safety. ”
After a long time, the old general Hongwu hummed; "Then I'll be relieved......!"
There was sadness in his voice, as if he had let go of everything......! Don't worry about anything anymore......!
The old general turned his head and looked around.
Every soldier's armor was bloodstained with blood, and every soldier's face was covered with wounds and exhaustion.
But in their eyes, there is no fear in sight, and there is no helplessness in them.
Some are just deeply determined ......!
The old general Hongwu, who had no warning, suddenly burst out laughing.
It was a smile that was both relieved and helpless.
After laughing, the old general Hongwu shouted loudly and presumptuously; "I, a man from the Chu Kingdom, who can surrender...... Who can submit? We will not surrender, we will never give up. ”
The soldiers around were also infected when they heard General Hongwu's bold words. They all opened their loud voices and shouted out the words that General Hongwu had just said.
"I'd rather die than surrender"
"Never Say Never"
"I'd rather die than surrender"
"Never Say Never"
Excited emotions are always contagious, and after a while, the entire capital of Chu resounded with a wave of howls from the bottom of their hearts.
It was a kind of roar without fear of death, and it was even more adulterated with a kind of anger towards the heavens, angry that the heavens would not bless the Chu country.
After Hong Wu said this sentence sonorously, he was thinking fiercely in his heart; "Want to defeat our Chu State? Is that easy? Don't pull hundreds of thousands of people to cushion your back? When I arrived in the Netherworld, I didn't have the face to see my emperor? ”
The old general Hongwu stared at the Wu army camp with dead eyes. The light in his eyes flashed with murderous energy.
"It seems that it won't be long before the army of Wu will attack the city?"
Hongwu turned to look at the guards who had followed him for six years; "Amagi? In fact, you can also follow the prince and princess together? Why do you want to stay with me, bad old man? ”
Look at this favorite guard who can stay with his bad old man on his last stretch. Hong Wu was happy and sad in his heart, after all, he was still so young.
Amagi is neither humble nor arrogant; "My life is the general's. The general is there, and the Amagi is there. ”
"Good! Good! Good! ”
The old general Hongwu said three good words in a row. It can be seen how happy his mood is at this moment, Hongwu looked at Tiancheng; "When the Wu army attacks the city, let's kill him."
The next day, God may know that today is an extraordinary day? The weather was gloomy and gloomy. By noon, the Wu army camp was already shaking the sky with drums.
The final battle is just around the corner.
The siege is about to begin.
Ximen Tiger stood alone on the makeshift military exercise platform.
Yesterday, there was a overwhelming sound in the capital of Chu State, which made Ximen Hu vaguely realize that today's siege is not so simple.
Probably the most intense, the most tragic battle.
In the intervening decades? I don't know how many battles Ximen Tiger has fought? The heart is already as solid as a rock.
No outside factor could interfere with him.
A rudimentary timer standing next to the stage indicated that noon was approaching.
Wait until the hourglass runs out.
Simon Tiger drew his saber at his waist. Pointing to the capital of Chu State, the long word "attack" was roared out by Ximen Tiger.
Just one word? but millions of corpses were ambushed.
The general's order was heard. All the soldiers thought it was a reservoir that opened the floodgates.
Rush......!
The soldiers of the Wu army flocked to the capital of Chu in a desperate manner.
This moment? People are like ants.
The howling, the neighing of horses, the chaotic sound of horses' hooves, this is war.
And the capital of Chu is like a young strong man standing at the mouth of a reservoir, resisting the torrent, allowing the flood to hit.
Look at the dense crowd of people below. Listening to the sound of shouting and shouting to kill, General Hongwu's face did not fluctuate in the slightest. His eyes were fixed on Wu Jun who was rushing forward. General Hongwu silently calculated the distance in his heart.
"Archers ready, trebuchets ready."
Seeing that the distance was enough, the old general Hongwu drew his sword and shouted; "Put it on me."
Suddenly, countless arrows poured down, and a rain of arrows was falling in the sky, and countless large stones also fell from the sky.
Shout...... Boom's military arrows break through the air!
The sound of thud, thump, thump stones falling was loud and clear.
The soldiers of the Wu army fell in pieces, either by arrows or by stones, and some were unlucky, first by arrows and then by stones.
Countless people fell in an instant.
Although there are many people below, it is only a drop in the bucket for hundreds of thousands of troops.
The soldiers of the Wu army rushed forward as if they had been stimulated, whether the people around them fell or the people in front of them fell, for those soldiers who were still alive, the dead were 'stumbling blocks'.
Arrows and stones can only be used in a specific area, and the soldiers of the Wu army soon arrived in the city, and the arrows are no longer of much use, only stones can be used.
Countless siege ladders were erected on the walls of the capital of the Chu State, and a siege pillar was pushed by dozens of people, moving slowly.
On the way, people kept falling, but they also kept replenishing, and for every time they fell, someone would go up to make up for it.
The siege pillar never stopped, because its mission was to reach under the city gates, breaking through the ancient gates that had stood on the mainland for hundreds of years.
Before the enemy entered the city, no matter who it was, they could only stay on the walls and fight.
Hong Wu was no exception, I saw him pick up the big stone at his feet, gritted his teeth and smashed it hard at the enemy's head.
General Hongwu is old. But the strength is not to say.
The old general raised a stone with both hands and smashed it down with a thud.
When the stone hit the target, not only the people on the ladder were smashed down, but even the ladder was broken, and the strength of the old general could be seen.
However, after throwing down a stone, the old general Hongwu started scolding; "His grandmother is old, but she can't do it!"
Throwing down a big stone, the old general Hongwu hurriedly got up and straightened his chest, and moved his hands.
The old general was really tired during this time.
With that throw just now, the breath that the old general Hongwu held in his chest was also vented. If he was told to throw it, it wouldn't be that strong.
The throw just now contained a lot of the spirit of the old general Hongwu.
And the Tiancheng side also had a great harvest, and every stone thrown could hit the Wu soldiers who were climbing up.
Although he does not have the domineering spirit of the old general Hongwu, the heavenly city is endless, and the succession is powerful.
He's not like Hongwu throwing a few stones and having to take a break.
Amagi is powerful.
He was immersed in selfless lifting and throwing stones.
These? It's all thanks to the "Body Refining Chapter" that Amagi inadvertently obtained.
"Refining the Body" is divided into two directions.
Amagi often soaked in a wooden barrel according to the medicinal juice brewed in the first half of the "Body Refining Chapter", and his physical strength was refined by the medicinal juice and the outside world.
Of course, the medicinal juice Tiancheng in the second half of the "Body Refining Chapter" has also been refined, but Tiancheng has not been soaked after being soaked in a wooden barrel once.
It felt so uncomfortable and torturous, like tens of thousands of ants biting you inside your body. It's not sad to make Amagi die and live.
After that, Amagi hadn't used the second half of the "Body Refining Chapter" potion anymore, and from time to time he would use the first half of the "Body Refining Chapter" to take a bath.
Not to mention. I don't know if it's because there is too much medicinal juice in the pre-soak part or what? After Tiancheng used the potion in the later stage, he made a comparison in his heart, and the result was that the difference between before and after was different.
Of course, Amagi also knew that the front and back should be used together.
It was also mentioned in the "Body Refining Chapter" that when the first half of the medicinal juice has no medicinal effect on the body, the second half of the medicinal juice should be used instead.
If you compare the human body to a container, the first half is water, which fills the container. The second half of the potion expands the container, allowing it to hold more.
It's just that Tiancheng is too lazy and too lazy to pursue, otherwise his current physical strength, don't talk big, if he insists on using the second half of the potion? Then every blow he can now achieve the effect of the blow of the old general Hongwu just now, and it is continuous, and it will not be like the old general Hongwu is now, throwing a few pieces and having to breathe back.
But even if it's a bath with the previous potions. The cumulative effect is also amazing. Amagi's current physical strength and endurance are also terrifying.
I saw that the heavenly city was on the city wall, constantly running back and forth, and where the people were about to climb the city wall, the heavenly city would run and take a stone bigger than a basin and throw it down.
When he was done, he would look around the Celestial City, and he would go wherever there were enemies climbing up.
For a while, Amagi alone managed to drive a long distance.
Amagi was running around tirelessly like a machine.
Amagi was immersed in the joy of smashing stones, but he didn't know that many people around him were dumbfounded.
General Hongwu was also very surprised at this time. muttered in his heart; "How can this kid have such good physical strength?"
