The surging Persians, at dawn, launched their first assault on the Han camp.

Everything happened very suddenly. It wasn't supposed to be the best time to fight. But the Persians, who came by night, were clearly no longer comparable to ordinary armies. Because any law in the world is no longer within their consideration.

The first to be attacked was the Wyvern camp stationed on the outermost side. The battle began at dawn and ended before the sun even came out. From beginning to end, it was just more than an hour of effort. But it was in this short period of time that the Wyvern soldiers felt their greatest threat since they formed the army.

Li Ling threw off his helmet and wiped the sweat from his forehead panting. The long sword in his hand fell to the ground, and beads of blood rolled down from the blade, staining the grass red.

The barrier outside the camp was littered with the corpses of Persian warriors. Most of them didn't have a chance to get close, and the extremely sharp nine-armed chain crossbow could easily shoot them ten feet away. However, even so, there were still nearly 1,000 people who brutally and brutally tore through the two pre-arranged defense systems during the first charge, and rushed in fiercely.

The five or six thousand Persians who attacked first were obviously dead. After accepting this task, they have already put life and death on the line. Under the dense rain of arrows of the Han army, no one retreated, and no one was afraid to move forward.

And not only that, but the most terrifying thing is that these Persians are very different from the samurai legions that the Wyverns have wiped out in the Western Regions. In addition to not being afraid of death, they seem to suddenly have a quality that surpasses ordinary people. It's as if under the power of anger, they lose their pain. There are many hideous-looking guys who have obviously been shot by crossbow arrows, but before their blood is exhausted, as long as the location of the arrow is not fatal, they will still continue to move forward and fight to the death.

The soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army, who had never seen this style of play, were caught off guard by surprise and surprise in this first wave of impact, causing certain casualties.

This is not to blame for their lack of experience. In terms of combat effectiveness, the Flying Dragon Army, as a rising star, has already grown into a real elite division after experiencing those few major battles. Even compared with the Red Fire Army, which fought side by side, it was not inferior.

However, the ferocity of the Persian warriors who rushed towards them on the opposite side greatly exceeded their expectations. On the battlefield of life and death, it is not uncommon for an army that is not afraid of death. However, like these Persians in front of him, he was obviously seriously injured, but he still slashed and killed indiscriminately with his teeth and claws, and this kind of large-scale madness was indeed very rare.

It seems that the Persian warrior who suddenly has the power of the wilderness, with scaly wounds all over his body, is like a mad tiger. After they engaged with the Wyvern Army, Ho Ho roared and made strange noises, and although the slashing in their hands was out of order, it was extremely powerful. There are even many people who have broken or discarded their knives, and even pounced on their opponents with open arms, gnawing and biting, trying to die together.

There were less than a thousand people, and in a matter of moments, hundreds of casualties were inflicted on the Wyvern Army. The advantage of crossbow arrows has lost its effect at this time, but fortunately, Li Ling, who was commanding the battle, saw that the situation was not good, and immediately led a team of people to immediately step forward to support, and after a desperate strangulation, these violent Persians were killed.

"General, how can these guys be so powerful! It's like a beast...... It's really horrible. ”

Looking at the hideous corpses on the ground, the soldiers of the Flying Dragon Army who surrounded them all had palpitations. They really couldn't understand how these people were so different from what they saw in the Western Regions.

Li Ling shook his head and wiped the blood and sweat from his face. Not only did the soldiers under his command not understand, but he was actually very surprised. There must be something strange about this! If Master Yuan Zhao was here, he would definitely know the reason. But now, everything is on your own.

"Don't think too much, let alone be afraid. Even if they are perverted, aren't they still dead! However, it should not be careless, depending on the situation, the Persians this time are only tentative small-scale attacks, and I believe that it will not take too long for the real battle to come. The order was given to go down and treat the wounded quickly, while the rest were ready for battle. Remember, we must do a good job of suppressing the crossbow arrows from a long distance, and try not to let them break through the defensive line as much as possible, that is in our best interest...... Also, hurry up and report the situation here to the Red Fire Army and other battalions, so that they can all know about it. ”

After Li Ling issued a series of orders, the sergeant was ordered to carry them out immediately and flew away. The military situation is like fire, and there is no delay for a moment. If you are prepared, you may be able to avoid many unnecessary casualties.

The generals of the other battalions who learned about the first battle of the Flying Dragon Army were also very surprised. The combat effectiveness of the Wyvern Army is well known to everyone. But now, even they have suffered losses in battle, and it is conceivable that the horror of the Persians is by no means an exaggeration. At the moment, he did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly adjusted his operational deployment. All the bows and arrows and nine-armed crossbows brought by the army were all brought out, and all the archers went into battle, and the sharp crossbow arrows were shining in the cold light of the sun. The soldiers who were on guard were ready for a fierce battle.

Strangely, however, from morning to noon, and then to the westward setting of the sun, most of the day passed, but there was no longer half a shadow of the Persians. Suddenly they hid their tracks, as if they had been frightened and retreated by the temptation of the early hours of the morning.

But Li Ling didn't dare to relax at all. After exchanging messages with several generals, he agreed that the Persians must be preparing a more ferocious attack. They may be taking advantage of the cover of the terrain to hide in unknown places, closely spying on the movements of the Han army's camp. Once a loophole is discovered, believe in the bloody storm

The attack is coming soon.

Vigilance and persistence, patience and waiting. It's a frustrating ordeal, and it's a torture before a big war breaks out. If you can ride a war horse and rush to kill, I believe it will be much easier. But on the premise of not stepping out of the camp, all the Han troops had to endure.

No one knows when the brutal fight will take place. Maybe after dark, maybe tomorrow, maybe ...... Right in the next moment! Obviously, he can feel the prying eyes of the enemy, but he can't take the initiative to attack, this feeling of aggrieved is undoubtedly an unbearable psychological torture for the Red Fire Army, the Flying Dragon Army, or other Han troops.

And in this brutal confrontation, the war on another battlefield is also full of frustration and a sense of defeat.

In the royal city, the afterglow of the remnant sun reflected the light from the top of the king's palace, and it felt a little dazzling. When Yuan Zhao lowered his hand and withdrew from the place where the injured and sick were, although his face did not show an abnormal look, the feeling in his heart was already very heavy.

The potion extracted from a large number of precious medicinal materials did not have a very obvious effect on the current epidemic. This is a fact that he had to ascertain after personally observing for most of the day.

Such a result is undoubtedly unacceptable to him. What went wrong...... Is the herb used wrong? Or is the formula you are using the right one? Or was the plague not the kind he had judged based on his known experience?

Walking from a somewhat dimly lit place to this well-lit place, his gaze was a little uncomfortable. Looking up at the afterglow of the setting sun, Yuan Zhao felt a little dizzy. This is a phenomenon that has never been seen before for him. After continuous day and night of continuous work, the iron body can't bear it. However, this is not the time for him to focus on these.

"Yuan Gong! Let's go eat and drink and take a break...... If it goes on like this, how can the body stand it! ”

The medical officer, who had been with him, said worriedly. Such a reminder, he has said countless times. This time, however, it was the same as before, and the answer he received was not a request to respond.

"How so? ...... drugs turned out not to work on the sick and wounded. ”

Yuan Zhao frowned and muttered to himself. From yesterday to now, he has watched several more people die in front of him. A sense of powerlessness that he had never felt before, filled his heart with frustration. It turns out that he is not an omnipotent god after all!

"Since ancient times, every time a great plague breaks out, there is no cure at all...... Why should Yuan Gong blame himself! ”

All the people who followed him around saw that in just a few days, he was no longer as bright as before, his expression was haggard, and his face was emaciated. No one is worried.

That's why we have to find a way to stop it from raging! Otherwise, not only will the lives of the people in this royal city be in danger, but I am afraid that in time, the entire Western Continent will lose control ....... ”

Hearing him say so sure, everyone's eyes showed a look of horror. Such consequences are indeed unbearable. The doctors were already powerless, and they didn't even know how long they would be able to hold out. Perhaps, tomorrow it will fall like everyone else.

"Oh no! General Gongsun and a few of them...... It's probably going to be gone......! ”

A Guardian rushed out of it and shouted, his voice full of anxiety. Yuan Zhao turned and walked inside, followed by the others. Sure enough, Gongsun Rongnu, who had been in a coma, was panting rapidly, his face was gray, and his life was in danger.

Yuan Zhao stretched out his hand to take the sealed elixir, and used a short knife to open the cover, his hand was a little rare trembling, and he was cut by the knife with a deep wound, and the blood flowed out without noticing. It is enough to see that he has lost his proportions.

"Pour them all ......!"

For the first time in his life, he lost faith in himself.
