Volume 1 When the Storm Blows Chapter 19 November 4th
Yao Hong took the water bag from the horse's neck, leaned over and put the water of the Salin River into the water bag, and after seeing the water bag filled with water, Yao Hong was relieved, turned his head to look in the direction of the imperial capital, and promised his father what he did, and he finally did it.
Xuanping soldiers camped on the banks of the Salin River, more than 500,000 troops marched more than 120 miles a day, which can be called a speed, of course, thanks to Xuanping's political achievements over the years, and the people began to recuperate, and the population of Xuanping increased dramatically, the expedition was 20 to 40 years old young adults, even if a large-scale long-distance march, sleep at night and the next day's physical strength will be restored.
Just after the end of the day, in the border camp, Lu Yu was resting with warm felt, and the strong wind outside the camp rolled up and slapped the water of the Salin River. The rumbling sound, like the sound of a huge wave rolling, made Lu Yu want to sleep with his head covered, and he didn't care about it.
Lu Yu is a White Goose Spy, and the White Goose Scout is the most elite of the Xuanping Scout Force and even all the troops in Xuanping, and there is no one.
Compared with the Blood Eagle Fence when the Northern Yuan Empire was at its strongest, the Blue Sparrow Scouts on the northern border were also created by extracting part of the white geese.
Nineteen years old, what a beautiful time, it should be a carefree life without heart and lungs, and the sea of stars in his eyes. In my heart is splendid flowers, and in my dream is the breeze and bright moon, not the swords, guns, swords, halberds and white bones of the forest. Alas! Damn war, the fate of the bitch.
Orphan is the innate term of the two brothers Lu Feng and Lu Yu, and fate is not too ruthless after all, giving them a way to live. Six years ago, after the death of the old woman who adopted the two brothers, the two joined the army and joined the front-line troops against the demons to quell the rebellion.
The total number of troops in the country is more than one million, and the number of white goose scouts is only 300 people, all of whom are good at one in a million, surveying the enemy's situation, searching and exploring the way, and proficient in military raids. The word elite is no longer enough to describe its brilliance.
Lu Yu thought about the work of the changing of the guard tomorrow morning, and then he would be able to see the tribe of the demon clan when he entered the west of the Salin River, and he didn't know if the demon clan really retreated.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, the ice rain began to fall, and Lu Yu dreamed in a daze that he was riding a war horse with iron armor and crossed the frozen holy river Migri River in the heart of the demon race. The first one rushed into the holy city, followed by Xuanping's hundreds of thousands of troops, and he took the lead in entering the Demon King's palace, stepping on the throne of the Demon Lord. Looking back, the hall was full of the trembling bodies of the demons and the excited and joyful faces of their brothers, what a glory it would be!
Before he dreamed of his own marquis and worshiped the prime minister, Lu Yu sat up violently holding his chest, and the violent and heavy wheezing sound and the sweat that continued to be generated on his forehead made his comrade Li Wuxian, who had not yet fallen asleep, unharmed.
"Nightmare?" Li Wuxian asked with concern.
"My brother, something happened!" Lu Yu gasped and replied. Tears and sweat were intertwined on Lu Yu's face, all saying that brothers are heart-to-heart, and the sudden heartache just now told him that his dearest person may have passed away forever, and his only relative in this world is only his brother Lu Feng, as for the parents who abandoned their two brothers, Lu Yu can't talk about hate. But I didn't feel anything.
Don't bother to explain. Lu Yu hurriedly got up and dressed and left the camp with sadness, Li Wuxian was not worried that Lu Yu would go alone, so he gathered the remaining brothers in the camp to follow Lu Yu together. A group of nine people crossed the Salin River and advanced towards the hinterland of the demons on this stormy night.
"Someone's coming!" As soon as he crossed the river, he didn't go far, and Li Wushu shouted, and the nine people immediately formed a row. Drawing a knife in his right hand, holding a bow left and right, his upper body leaned down, and besieged the black spot that was getting closer and closer in the distance, the target was getting closer and closer, Lu Yu was the first to see the person who came,
"Cao Zhao!" Lu Yu quickly dismounted and came to Cao Zhao's body, holding the crumbling Cao Zhao, and looking closely, Cao Zhao's whole body was wrapped in red liquid, his left arm was gone, and his back was from his right shoulder to his left waist, a huge crack was spreading and tearing open, and the ghost knew what Cao Zhao relied on to insist on here.
Before crossing the Heavenly Trench Mountain, the White Goose Scouts explored the territory of the Demon Clan, and after the army arrived at the Salin River and stationed there, they once again expanded the scope of exploration. Men of fifty men were divided into three routes, and they probed the flanks of the army and the west bank of the Saalin.
Cao Zhao is the one who went to the west bank of the Salin River, and it stands to reason that with the combat strength of the White Goose Scout, even if he encounters the main force of the demon clan, he should be able to retreat completely, and he will not be injured like this.
The white goose spies are very human, and they understand many things at a glance, Cao Zhao fell to the ground, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, fortunately, it was in time, Li Wuxian saw Cao Zhao's lips moving slightly, and quickly leaned over to his ear, Cao Zhao didn't say a word of nonsense, and said word by word with his last strength: "Fifty miles, the demon army, two hundred thousand, retreat!" ”
Li Wuxian opened his mouth wide in surprise, Cao Zhao actually let him retreat, only 200,000 demon troops, how could he let Cao Zhao say such a thing as retreat.
didn't have time to think about it, Li Wuxian hurriedly got on his horse and went to the camp of the Chinese army, there must be a demon when things happen, and he must report to the saint quickly. At the same time, there were also two teams of men and horses on the left and right sides of the Xuanping army rushing towards the direction of the camp.
Not long after, Tao Jing walked into the camp tent of the Chinese army, his eyebrows were twisted into a Sichuan shape, the demon clan went and returned, the battle was fought early and late, since he came, he was not afraid of fighting, but it was too appalling for the demon clan to suddenly increase its troops by 300,000. It can't be said to be a one-sided situation, but this makes Xuanping no longer have the slightest advantage at all.
It's not that Xuan Ping didn't find out the old bottom of the demon race in advance, there is no way, the difference between the human race and the demon race is too big, even the "autumn cicada" who claims to know the affairs of the world can't penetrate into the domain of the demon race, and can only rely on elite scouts like the white goose scouts to explore and investigate before and after the war, but over the years, they also roughly know the details of the demon race, with a total of seven legions, each with a strength of 100,000. This is the regular establishment of the demon race, due to the number of races, food, environment and other factors, the demon race can not afford more troops, when there is no need to fight, except for the third legion guarding the imperial city and a small number of garrisons in various places, the rest of the legions are in a state of disbandment, and will only be called back when there is a war.
Therefore, the war with the demons can only rely on hard fighting, it is a collision of absolute strength, and now there is no force suppression, Xuanping is really in crisis.
Tao Jing looked at Yao Hong, who was looking down at the latest military map that had just been drawn. Feeling the inquiring gaze of Tao Jing and several generals, Yao Hong did not raise his head, still measuring the territory of the demon clan on the map with his hands, and drew a few marching routes from time to time.
"Changxing. Send the Divine Battalion into battle! Yao Hong said solemnly to Yao Changxing.
"Yes, Brother Huang, it's time for the Shengong Camp to appear." Yao Changxing replied with a command.
The Marquis of Jiangling looked dazed, and asked Yao Changxing curiously, "Shengong Battalion?" What kind of army is that? "The Marquis of Jiangling knew that there was a mysterious army behind the army this time, and the scale was not small, and no one was allowed to approach, so he was always curious but no one was puzzled.
Yao Changxing winked at Nanping Hou and deliberately sold a pass, in fact, not only Nanping Hou didn't know, but the only people who knew about the existence of the Shengong Camp in addition to the Shengong Camp itself were Yao Hong, Yao Changxing, Tao Jing and Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.
The demons have prepared a killer weapon like the beast army, Xuanping is rich in resources, and the people are excellent, how can they not prepare some generous gifts for the demons?
Xuanping's Ministry of Industry is a person who often has whimsical ideas, after taking office as the Ministry of Industry, on the time of the catapult, crossbows, chariots and other equipment made important transformations, after many years, again and again perfected, three years ago finally but a breakthrough was made, all kinds of weapons are more than a step in power, three years ago the establishment of the Divine Battalion, secret training, as the battle of the finale of the troops.
Yao Hong left the map with both hands, sat down heavily, his eyes were bloodshot, even if there was a Shengong Battalion, but it could not determine the trend of the war, otherwise it would have been good to send the Shengong Battalion to fight at the beginning, or establish a few more Shengong Battalions, the Shengong Battalion would be the same as the Demon Beast Legion, it was amazing at the beginning, but after a long time, the enemy could always find a way to deal with it. Moreover, no matter how much cold weapons are transformed, there are limitations, and no matter how powerful they are, they will not be exaggerated. In the end, it is still manpower, material resources, and national strength.
Chicheng Hou Li Changzhi was worried about Yao Hong's body, and said comfortingly: "Holy Lord, the sudden increase in the number of troops of the Demon Clan by 300,000 sounds amazing, but in my opinion, it is just a patchwork of old and young, sick and disabled, and it is not much of a threat to us. ”
Guo Tai also nodded and agreed: "Yes, if the demon clan had such a large force, it would have declared war a long time ago, and it would never wait for us to enter their nest." ”
Everyone thought so, Yao Hong also nodded, and asked the generals, "Are you ready?" ”
"Everything is ready!" The generals replied in unison.
As early as after Li Wushu and others reported the military situation, several Wuhou generals began to arrange. The whole army is in a state of readiness, and even the demons may not really attack tonight. But it's always right to be careful.
On November 4, the wind and rain were raging, and the chariots of different shapes were pulled to the front of the army by the tall warriors covered with iron armor, and the soldiers on the chariots were also covered with armor. At the back of the convoy were rows of soldiers in black uniforms armed with repeaters, which were inaccurate to say because they were lighter than regular repeaters. More arrows are fired at once. The power is also greater, the Shengong Battalion calls it a light crossbow, in addition to the light crossbow, there are a thousand bed crossbows, crossbow arrows are like guns, and then there are huge catapults, at a glance you know that they are improved high-quality finished products.
After a brief moment of consternation, the soldiers immediately returned to a state of readiness for battle.
The battle of fate, tonight.
