Chapter 122: The Battle at the Beginning of the Journey
You must know that Peng Qing's archery skills are definitely first-class archers, and it is often rumored in the army that Peng Qing once shot ten arrows in a short breath, and each arrow must hit a flying sparrow!
Thinking about it, the strength of the Marksman Battalion would not be much inferior to the archery skills of the elves in the Imperial Army in Lu Fan's heart, because their performance had never disappointed Lu Fan all along!
Lu Fan once inspected, and saw that Peng Qinglian actually let the soldiers shoot at each other, and each other's arrows were fired......
In a moment, the battle was over.
Lu Fan looked at the few strangely dressed people in front of him, and didn't know why they wanted to help him, the arrows in the army were already secretly on the string.
Although there are not many people in this team, their combat ability is that they have never seen strange ornaments on their bodies.
The people led by this group of people and horses saw that the clansmen of the Peerless Shadow Tribe seemed to be obeying the young general in front of them, so they quietly looked carefully.
His long gray hair was tied up, he was wearing black armor, and his thin figure looked a little thin.
The face seems to be a little less resolute than that of an ordinary general, and there are no sharp eyes like an eagle!
Seeing that the army was lightly hostile, he guarded his group, and led the way: "This young general, we have no hostility, we are the people of the empire!"
The little information that the leader had gathered from outside the valley was used to communicate it, and his attitude was very pertinent, neither humble nor arrogant.
can't squeeze and grovel, but also shows the attitude of his own people.
Lu Fan walked out of front of the formation and said, "Your tribe is brave and resolute, the empire will definitely reward your tribe for the merits of this battle!"
Lu Fan seemed to be talking to everyone, but he was saying it to the people who were the leaders of the previous ones.
"The royal family here has fallen, and we are willing to do our part for the glory of the empire to once again illuminate the darkness here," said another man beside the chief.
Looking at the dress of this group of people, Lu Fan really couldn't tell what kind of race this was, just looking at the first few people, their eyes had a green light, and they all had their own unique light like Liu Yan Yuying's group.
Suddenly, Lu Fan's heart sank, he had heard that people from the cannibalistic tribe would have green eyes, and they would even be inherited after a long time.
Don't......
However, Lu Fan was immediately relieved, in this war-torn frontier, human life is like mustard, don't say that it may be cannibalism, even if it is really cannibalism, it is not the first time Lu Fan has seen it.
After a long private chat,
Lu Fan promised these barbarian tribes that after capturing the royal capital, let this tribe assist in defending the royal capital of the Falling Moon.
All the way forward, the army marched at great speed, and the barbarian team of one hundred and ten men was able to avoid the sentinels everywhere with ease, and quietly obliterate them.
The long drive went straight in, and the fortresses were left behind to be guarded by military forces along the way.
The sun was setting in the west, and the army had surrounded the royal city.
On the city wall of the Falling Moon King's capital, a group of people surrounded this person in golden armor and with extraordinary bearing on the city tower, looking at the army surrounded by the city, this person's eyes were deep and silent.
To this day, it is superfluous to say anything, and when the decision was made to make a dangerous move, I had already anticipated today's possibilities.
Success and defeat have been like this since ancient times......
Looking at the array outside the city, the depression in his chest was unspeakable.
Suddenly, when he saw the group of barbarians in front of the formation, there seemed to be a green flame in his eyes, and his heart was shocked, and then the anger that could not be contained surged into his heart!
"Soldiers, are you afraid of death?" the golden-armored man asked in a snap
"Don't be afraid!!"
This is the sonorous and powerful answer of the moon man
"Men of the Falling Moon, are you willing to shed the last drop of blood for the country that gave birth to you and raised you?" the man asked again
"Yes!
"Shed the last drop of blood!!"
“......”
Many more simply slapped their weapons on their shields in response to their kings.
At this moment, their king was in high spirits, drew his sword at his waist, pointed his sword at the sky, and said, "Then fight!
"Fight!"
"Fight!"
The evening breeze was blowing, and it seemed that there was not a group of people standing on the city walls, but an unyielding will.
Lu Fan looked at this group of people, and felt sad in his heart, but he also had respect!
But the war can only go forward, maybe he is a wise king, but when he can't avoid it, he made an unknown choice......!
"Siege!" Lu Fan waved his sword and gave the order to siege the city.
The army marched forward like a torrent of steel, and various phalanxes advanced.
The man in the valley waved his hand, and at some point, hundreds of people emerged from the snow everywhere, carrying a hundred-year-old giant tree and rushing forward!
You can see that this is a giant tree that has been cut down temporarily, and there is still a little greenery on it.
The giant tree advanced from the main gate, and the Imperial army directly ascended the city with the help of a ladder. Although the defenders of the falling moon are not afraid of life and death, they are not iron-blooded soldiers who have experienced the baptism of war at the border pass, and they will be overwhelmed after a while.
What's more, there are less than 1,000 people defending the city, and the disadvantages are fully revealed......
"The city seems to be unable to hold it, and I ask the king to deign to move ......," the general who defended the city on the side said hurriedly to the king of the falling moon.
The golden-armored man glanced at the general and said sharply: "The man in the falling moon is not afraid of life and death, I was born to be your king, how can I escape alone!
Under the city
Lu Fan stood on his horse and said to the herald: "Tell General Peng Qing to shoot down the people in the golden armor in the city, whether you live or die!"
"No!" the herald departed immediately.
Lin Li led the army to attack the city, but he couldn't enter it for a long time, so Lu Fan had to shoot his king, the spiritual banner.
After all, the army has less than 10,000 people in total, and this is just the starting point here in the Western Regions!
It was dark, the city was captured, leaving only the broken city gate, and the mottled city wall, under the moon Lu Fan led the army into the city, and Lu Fan climbed the city.
Lu Lan led the cavalry into the city and fought against the recalcitrant ones, and Liu Yanyuying also fought the recalcitrant ones with the other commanders.
Ascending to the top of the city, by the moonlight, Lu Fan saw that the king of this domain was still standing at the head of the city, but he was hit by an arrow in his eyebrows and throat.
Holding the wall in one hand, and holding the sword on the ground in the other, his eyes are level......
Through the moonlight, I saw the golden armor, stained with blood.
Peng Qing didn't know when he also stood aside, looking at the king in front of him.
Eleven arrows were fired in one breath, and all ten arrows were dodged, only the last arrow hit the throat, but he resolutely did not fall, and the arrow in the center of his eyebrows was additionally supplemented, ending his pain!
"Bury him alive!" After speaking, Lu Fan walked down the city with an expressionless face.
Riding on his horse, he walked slowly towards the palace, the road was full of stumps and had not seen a single captive who had surrendered so far.
Lu Fan's heart was full of sadness, and the guards behind him silently followed.
Suddenly, a small group of men and horses appeared in an alley, there seemed to be four or five people, and as soon as they appeared, they started a bloody battle with the guards.
These four or five fish that slipped through the net saw the enemy generals who had attacked their homeland, so they came to intercept and kill!
One of the four-armed human clans threw the spear in his hand at Lu Fan, but he missed his head because he was too far away and passed by his cheek.
Lu Fan just looked at the spear indifferently and didn't panic, just indifferent to watching the spear shoot, and then slashing through the face, not hiding or worrying.
Watching the enemy and me fighting, he numbly watched the firelight, until Lu Fan felt a heat on his face, and the blood in the throats of several people splashed on his face, and he came back to his senses.
Rolling tears fell, and the first time Lu Fan was fighting with the enemy and me, he actually had sympathy.
Lu Fan continued to ride his horse forward, and couldn't help but speed up, and the cold night dried his tears and froze his blood.
Lu Fan worked hard to harden his heart, and Lu Fan thought that this might be the first time he shed tears for the enemy, and it would be the last.
There is no absolute right or wrong in war, there is only life and death.
To live, to live better, to live better for more people.
This is war!
Soon, he came to the palace, and Lu Fan saw a group of people gathered in front of the palace in front of a palace, chaotic, and the firelight was moving, as if there was something.
Approaching, I found that Lu Lan was also on the side, an ancient tree in front of him was strong and powerful, with branches lying in front of the temple gate, and on the broken stone slabs around him, there were several corpses, each with a gorgeous and unusual flower.
The barbarians on the side seemed to be afraid of this abnormality, and the few corpses on the ground were carefully identified as their people.
"General be careful, this tree is extremely demonic, maybe it has become a spirit, and it has already hurt dozens of people of our clan!" The barbarian man looked at Lu Fan and walked forward and said
Lu Fan saw that sure enough, this flower was a carrion corpse flower, as long as the seeds fell on the corpse, it could grow and bloom in a moment, and it would not wither until the nutrients of the corpse were exhausted.
Looking at the ancient tree again, although it is rooted in the soil, but the soil is turned outward, it seems that it was not originally here, but it has just taken root here, and I saw a broken stone slab in the ground, giving way to think of a possibility, this is a tree man.
Lu Fan once saw it in ancient books, describing that there is a kind of tree born in the ancient forest, such as a person can walk, like a tree can take root, born with spiritual wisdom, the legend is the heir of the gods, blessed by heaven and earth!
But all this is just a rumor, I don't want to see it today.
