Chapter 430: Revenge

Two quarters of an hour later, a short, powerful, high-pitched trumpet sounded at the head of the city, which was another short, but the most commonly used trumpet in the vassal states, and a dozen or even dozens of hundreds of people blew this trumpet in unison, and the sound of the trumpet was extremely loud and inspiring.

Hearing the horn outside the city, it is known that the royal guests and the Zhi army have all retreated into the city, and the three flying whistles at the head of the city are still burning, and the Song and Xu cavalry quickly broke away from the left flank and retreated to the north, while the Jin and Wei troops fought and retreated into the city according to the plan.

However, at this time, the ugly state of the Jin and Wei armies was fully revealed, because there was no coalition army within hundreds of steps behind the right flank of the barbarian army, and as soon as the Jin and Wei armies retreated, the barbarian army on the right wing had no worries and went all out to counterattack the Jin and Wei armies on the way to retreat.

The Jin army went out of the city with 10,000 cavalry, the guards were 10,000 cavalry and 10,000 infantry troops.

The Jin and Guard cavalry seized the road and fled, and the patriotic cavalry couldn't even care about their own infantry at all, so they pulled up their horses and turned their heads and ran, how fast and how fast they wanted to go, it was definitely more amazing than charging into battle.

The cavalry of the Jin army is also the division of tigers and wolves, and when they found that the guards were in charge of the army, they ran over directly on their horses, and they couldn't see it when it was dark anyway, and no one knew whether the barbarian army was guilty or a man-made disaster of the coalition army.

So the two armies retreated into the city in a panic, and stayed more than 100 steps outside the city pursued by the barbarian army, and the Song and Xu cavalry returned to the horse gun to kill from behind, at this time the right wing of the barbarian army was facing south, and the face was facing north, and it was already dizzy by the coalition army to call and kill in turn, coupled with the chaos of the formation, out of the big array, the Song and Xu cavalry came from the south to the north, and an impact was to crush it.

At this time, thousands of weapons in the city are ready to go, thousands of arrows are fired in a roar, countless arrows are dropped from two hundred steps away, the left flank of the barbarian army pursues Song and Xu on the way, and the giant arrow stone pill is hit head-on, and the arrow and stone hit by thousands of people.

Seeing this scene in the telescope, Bailiyan (Wei Xian) sighed:

"War, Ah......"

"My lord, why are you sighing?" Jiang Jie was puzzled.

"You are still young, and when you become the commander of an army one day, you will know that it is not easy to be a general. Now that I've said it, you don't understand it. ”

"Oh......" Jiang Jie was even more puzzled, but he didn't dare to ask more. Then he said: "My lord, our army won a big victory in this battle, and the barbarian army does not seem to be as ferocious as the previous rumors. ”

Bai Liyan shook her head, her face solemn:

"Not necessarily, there are three reasons for today's victory, one is to violate common sense by surprise, the barbarian army is caught off guard, the second is that the two armies are fighting in front of the general, our army's morale is extremely strong, and the third is the elite of the coalition army, each army is equipped with fine iron blades, and the royal guest is equipped with steel blades and chain mail, which can be called the elite of the elite.

If the two armies face each other in the field in the future, most of the coalition army will still be equipped with a large number of bronze blades, and the barbarian army will have war fangs, flying eagle beasts, fierce beasts, and hundreds of thousands of cavalry, and there will be no chance of victory against our army in the field, and it is still reluctant to defend the city.

The general even suspected that the enemy attacking the front of Tiannan Pass this time was by no means the main force of the enemy's elite, and his general's ability to command the army was extremely ordinary, even abnormal. If it is calculated according to this, the barbarian army came to attack the first pass in the world with 300,000 ordinary soldiers, which is enough to show that the elite of the barbarian army has not yet arrived. ”

A hint of foreboding swam in the heart of Baili Yan at this moment, and in today's battle, Jin Xuedi lost his level, and his combat power was overpowered by the coalition forces. Thinking that the imperial speed order arrived in Chenling three months ago, and the beacon tower along the way was not lit with red cloud beacon fire, Cao Chi was judging that Jin Xuedi's prediction that the general trend was behind, most of which was not groundless.

At the end of the year and the beginning of the war, the combined forces of Song and Xu withdrew to the city one after another, and the arrows and stones flew at the head of the city, and the barbarian army was forced to threaten, leaving a large number of corpses, and quickly retreated 300 steps away.

After a crushing defeat in the first battle, Dezik, the commander of Mubat's legion, became angry and shouted to attack the city overnight:

"Nakikas, when can the damn trebuchet pull me here!"

"It will take the second half of tonight to assemble one at the earliest, and two can be assembled at noon tomorrow."

"Go, herald camp, before dawn I will hear the roar of the boulder here, go quickly."

"Yes, Legion Commander."

At this time, the deputy commander of the corps, Temir, held the golden order in his hand and led the cavalry to the avant-garde camp:

"Dezick, the herald brings His Majesty's order that Mubart's legions must not engage in battle without permission."

"That was before the order was delivered!" Detzke emphasized.

"But now that the army has been lost, you should immediately report the news to Your Majesty and ask for the forgiveness of the Moon God."

"The moon god will forgive the fearless warriors, and the gods will punish those filthy bugs, and I, Dezik Herro Val, swear in the name of the gods, and the northerners will be punished."

Detzke shouted, with no intention of retreating, or rather, His Majesty's order only required him not to send troops to war, and there was no more detailed order.

In the second half of the night, the combined troops of Song and Xu withdrew to the city one after another, and the royal guests set fire to the trench cars, and the first battle came to an end temporarily, with a total of 105,000 people leaving the city, and less than 87,000 people returned to the city alive.

On the second day, the sky was slightly bright, a layer of mist floated on the surface, and the dead were floating outside the gate, and countless banners and weapons were overturned horizontally, and there was a dead silence and lifelessness. The mist soaked the yellowed grass, and the undried blood flowed with red blood, adding a bit of lifelessness under the mist.

The soldiers of the coalition army went out of the city one after another to collect the corpses, rescue the wounded, and clean up the trophies left on the battlefield yesterday, at this time, a low and lengthy elephant roar suddenly broke the silence of the battlefield, and someone immediately exclaimed:

"War Fang, it's War Fang!"

The fog was thick in the distance, and it was impossible to see how many mammoths had fallen to the bottom for miles, but the ground shook like an earthquake.

The elephant chimes rang out for several miles, and Bailiyan woke up in a dream and snored continuously:

"Jiang Jie, Jiang Jie!"

Hearing the news that Baili Yan called him, Jiang Jie rushed into the account:

"My lord, what's the matter?"

"What sound?"

Jiang Jie listened carefully and found nothing:

"It seems to be the sound of iron pots and pottery bowls, and many dead horses were brought back from outside the city this morning, and all the armies were killing horses and cooking meat."

"No, it's an elephant, an elephant!"

Baili Yan was stunned, the camp where the Xian army was located was in the northwest corner of Tiannan Pass, eight or nine miles away from the south gate, and it was impossible for Jin Xuedi to pull the mammoth under the city without filling in the trenches, at least two miles away.

In this way, the mammoth is ten miles away from the north of the city, and the elephant song belongs to the low-frequency sound wave, which can only be heard by the elephant itself at a distance, and now it can be heard by human ears ten miles away, and it is obvious that the size of this elephant is far beyond the standard of knowing elephants in previous lives.

"Jiang Jie, follow me to the South Gate quickly!"

"No!"

The temperature this morning is obviously much lower than yesterday, Bailiyan put on his battle robe and was about to turn over his horse, when a royal guest came on horseback:

"General Wei, the imperial marshal has an order, and the armies are quickly hidden!"

Baili Yanmeng was stunned, and couldn't help but think to himself, the north of the city is still eight or nine miles away from the south of the city, what kind of weapon will throw the projectile ten miles away. He hurriedly asked:

"What the hell is going on outside the south of the city!"

"The barbarian army dispatched the battle fang, and the stone machine has been dragged to three miles south of the city, and the eagle attack is coming, please General Wei quickly go to the Tibetan Cave to hide."

"Trebuchet" is the name of the super giant trebuchet used by the coalition army to the barbarian army, this kind of trebuchet can throw four stones from three miles away, or even four miles away from the limit, can throw six stones from three miles away, and can shoot twelve stones from two miles away, or scatter projectiles, the power is extremely vicious, far more than the range of the giant trebuchet that the Ligong faction can build two miles, and the destruction of the city wall and the city is huge.

Just as he was hesitating, a shrill horn suddenly sounded in his ears, and then everyone shouted in the distance:

"The barbarian army is attacking with eagles, dodge quickly."

Bailiyan subconsciously looked up, only to see a dark cloud in the faintly bright sky, and the speed was jaw-dropping. took out the binoculars and looked at it, his face sank instantly, and his eyes were almost blackened:

"Fuck it, there's an air raid!"

Hundreds of flying eagles and beasts claw ropes, and there are thirty or fifty catties of heavy stones tied to the lower end of the ropes, flying overwhelmingly over Tiannan City. Without waiting for Bailiyan to come back to his senses, the big boulder in the sky fell into the sky, and the huge stone fell hundreds of meters into the air, and the power was so great that it was like a landslide.

"Bastard, Jiang Jie, retreat!"

"My lord, where are you going!"

"There is a hidden soldier cave nearby, quickly lead our people over!"

"No!"

Jin Xuedi domesticated a giant eagle that was comparable to a small helicopter all year round, domesticated them to lift dozens of pounds of boulders with their claws, and flew above the heads of the coalition forces to carry out air raids.

In this regard, the coalition forces have no means of countermeasures, whether it is a bow or a bed crossbow, it is impossible to send arrows to four or five hundred meters, or even a thousand meters in the air.

Even if the accuracy and hit rate of the airdrop of a giant bird like the Eagle Beast are questionable, the fear and destructive power it brings are unquestionable.

In addition, the Eagle can carry slightly lighter stones in the air for a long time, and as long as it sees a target that is not golden-skinned, it will reflexively release its claws and throw down the rope tied to the stone.

For this reason, the coalition forces have been building anti-aircraft bunkers on the ground and underground for many years, as well as hiding bunkers. There is also an underground troop transport tunnel two zhang deep underground, which is used to hide and transport troops. Even so, the Tibetan Soldier Cave could not hide hundreds of thousands of people or hundreds of thousands of horses, and it was impossible to completely eliminate ground mobilization.

Once the air raid begins, there will be hundreds of flying eagle beasts at the least, and the maximum number can reach thousands, and the air raids will be carried out 24 hours a day, for several days, until the flying eagle beasts are tired and no longer flying, so they will cause great casualties to the coalition forces defending the city.

Soon after the start of the air raids, copper pots with a diameter of more than half a meter were erected on earthen platforms more than 10 meters high in various parts of the city, and pine oil was thrown into them and set on fire.
