Chapter 810: The Sudden Arrival of the Royal Forest Legion
Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard this, this time in order to cut off the supply line of the imperial army in Huangzhou, it was a large-scale military operation launched by the three leading generals of the Jin State and the Song State after consultation.
It was not only the 50,000 elite cavalry led by Wanyan Zongwang who came to Huangzhou, but also the 50,000 golden soldiers led by Wanyan Zonghan to contain the Fourth Legion of the Pang Wanchun Empire in Huangzhou.
In addition, Wanyan Zongbi led 100,000 Jin soldiers and 70,000 people from the Seed Master Dao to contain the three major army corps of the empire stationed in Shouzhou, Gwangju and Luzhou respectively.
According to the judgment of Wanyan Zongwang and others, now Sienna's Imperial Fifth Army is still fighting on the Jingnan Road, while the other four major legions in the Song Dynasty are all unable to move, so this battle is a sure victory.
Wanyan Zongwang came to the head of the city and looked south, and sure enough, he saw flags waving in the distance, and the long army formation composed of countless black dots was hurrying towards Macheng.
"Strange, which enemy army is this?"
As the army in the distance got closer and closer, the condescending Wanyan Zongwang had already seen the outfit of the other soldier, they were actually not wearing the black military uniform of the imperial soldiers, but a special costume with gold trim hanging on the black side, in addition to this, there were many strange types of troops in the team that seemed familiar.
Several flags fluttered in the wind, and there were two dragons with different images on the rectangular red flag, one was the golden dragon representing the eastern China, and the other was the black dragon representing the west.
Although the Kingdom of Jin does not border the Chinese Empire, as the two most powerful countries in this land, the monarchs and ministers of the two countries know that sooner or later there will be a war between the two sides, so they are trying their best to collect information about each other.
In the Chinese Empire, there was only one person who was qualified to raise the banner of this double dragon, and that was Li Nan, who was revered as the Emperor of Civil and Military Affairs.
After seeing this flag, Wanyan Zongwang immediately knew the specific information of this army that suddenly appeared.
The largest number of armies in the Chinese Empire were not the five legions, but those scattered throughout the provinces, responsible for maintaining law and order, and at the same time serving as the second echelon of local patrol troops.
And the strongest combat effectiveness is not the five major legions, but the Royal Forest Group Army, which has been stationed in the imperial capital Changsha for a long time and is responsible for guarding the emperor.
Now that the Royal Guards Army has appeared here, and has also unfurled the Emperor's exclusive banner, it is obvious what this represents.
The standard configuration of the Imperial Legion is 30,000 people, and the Royal Forest Army also has additional special troops, so Wan Yan Zongwang immediately shouted: "Pass the order, collect the troops, retreat, and we will go and join Yan Zonghan's army!" ”
Wanyan Zongwang deserves to be a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, his judgment is very accurate, and his orders are also issued in a very timely manner, but he ignores the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom who have changed after coming to the Song Kingdom.
After the city was broken, the golden soldiers are now scattered in the homes of the rich people in Macheng, some are searching for gold and silver silk, some are drunk, and they are raping silver women with animal nature.
After hearing the sound of the horn of the assembly, these golden soldiers who had been forbidden in the past more or less hesitated, they really couldn't bear these rich and beautiful women.
Wanyan Zongwang silently counted the time, and when the time for gathering was up, but there were less than six thousand soldiers exuding the smell of alcohol in front of him, he was really surprisingly angry.
Although he is now looking forward to executing every soldier who violates military discipline, he can't give up tens of thousands of people after all.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wanyan Zongwang could only hatefully look at the soldiers around him, and ordered: "Immediately repair the city gate, prepare for defense, and the others go and get those damn bastards back for me!" ”
After Yan Zongwang's people finally whipped most of the drunken Jin soldiers from the people's homes and from the women's bodies, the Imperial Imperial Forest Legion also came to the outside of Macheng and quickly completed the siege.
"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Empire! ”
After the Royal Forest Legion stopped, they immediately cheered and shouted in unison, and the voices of tens of thousands of people gathered together, like a roar, spreading towards Macheng and Siye.
Li Nan, who was riding on a white horse, picked up the binoculars and looked at the small city not far away, which was full of traces of fierce battles, and after finding the golden banner fluttering on the city, he knew that he was late.
Li Nan, who was a little self-reproachful, raised his horsewhip, pointed to Macheng and asked, "Who is going to take this city for me?" ”
"I want to go!" Lin Chong, the leader of the Royal Forest Legion, shouted for battle.
Wei Xiangman, the martial concubine who had been recuperating in Changsha City for a long time and had finally recovered from her injuries, also scrambled: "General Lin needs to command the battle, and such a trivial matter can be handed over to the concubine!" ”
When the two were fighting, they heard the sound of an urn in a high place and said loudly: "Leave the siege to us!" ”
Looking up at the person who spoke, Lin Chong and Wei Xiangman, who had always been arrogant, lost their temper, just like this person said, it is most appropriate to say that he and the troops he led are the most suitable to attack the city.
Seeing that everyone and His Majesty the Emperor had no objections, Marge, the three-meter-tall giant leader, immediately laughed proudly, then waved his hand and shouted confidently to his people: "Capture this city in five minutes!" ”
"Roar!" The giants from the world of ice and fire, hearing Marge's words, immediately raised their maces and giant axes that were two and a half meters long in their hands, and responded violently.
From where the Imperial Forest Legion is located, it will take at least four or five minutes to reach the gate of Macheng, and the meaning of the giant leader Marge is very simple, that is, when they reach the front of the city, that is, when the city is broken.
If anyone else dared to say this, there would definitely be people who accused him of arrogance, but no one doubted that Marg, the leader of the giants, said this.
Ever since these giants were brought back to this plane by Li Nan from the world of ice and fire, they have been recuperating in the empire.
With the abundant supplies provided by the Empire, and without the invasion of the Strangers, Night's Watch, and Wild Beasts in the past, the giants began to multiply on the land of the Empire, and the number of ethnic groups continued to expand.
There are now as many as 300 giants who have joined the Imperial Royal Forest Legion, although it may not sound like a lot, but the three-meter-tall giants wear heavy all-steel armor and carry heavy weapons weighing nearly three meters and weighing hundreds of pounds, each of them can be called a movable fortress of war.
At this time, those golden soldiers guarding the city wall, looking at the terrible giants who were striding towards Macheng, everyone was broken in their hearts.
Some of the veteran Jin men who had been in battle for a long time barely calmed their minds and bent their bows and arrows to shoot at the giants, but they were all blocked by the heavy armor on their bodies.
In fact, don't say that it is the bow and arrow of these golden people, even if they are hit by the most powerful eight-bull crossbow of the Song Kingdom, the armor on these giants can block them, and perhaps except for the gunpowder produced by the empire, there is no weapon that can hurt these giants.
