Chapter 39: Three Thousand Miles
Along the way, the horses were non-stop, galloping, and fortunately, it was this carefully selected Lingfeng war horse, if it was replaced by an ordinary war horse, it is estimated that it would have been tired and paralyzed.
Xiao is one of the best horses in a hundred miles to step on the mountains and the red sky, and he can't bear such a long distance with a very heavy armor. After a day of galloping together, they also had to slow down to give the war horse more time to breathe.
There was nothing to say all the way, three days later, Qin Tian led 1,800 rangers to arrive at the Longwei army camp in the east as scheduled, and everywhere he went, all the soldiers gave way and let them go, no need to check their identities, the fierce tiger flame spear, that is the symbol of Qin Tian, under the whole world, no one can imitate.
Not everyone can subdue the Flaming Tiger, not even Sima Lelin, who is the most talented in cultivating the Imperial Beast Scroll. Of course, hunting or domesticating some tigers, or many people can do it, but the ordinary tiger size is not suitable for riding, endurance is not suitable for long-distance running, only the body is strong enough, the strength is large enough to be suitable for riding combat, and the tiger that meets this requirement is at least one in a million, definitely the king of kings, full of arrogance, how can it be so easy to tame?
Even if it can be forcibly tamed, it is difficult to achieve life and death, and maybe when it will fight back. Therefore, today, the only person who can control such a flaming tiger is Qin Tian.
Qin Tian was eager to save people, and did not wait for the report, and went straight to the big tent of the Chinese army, the commander of the Longwei Army who was in the tent, Prince Huang Xuantai had already heard that his subordinates had reported it, and hurriedly went out of the tent to greet him.
As soon as I saw Prince Tai, I could see that no matter what his military talent was, he was extremely particular about the etiquette of dealing with people, and he must be a very good person. In the face of the sudden arrival of Qin Tian, although Prince Tai was a little surprised, he did not slack off, hurriedly welcomed into the tent, personally rolled the curtain for Qin Tian, invited him to take a seat, served good tea, and treated him respectfully, just like treating Emperor Yan.
For this war king, who was much younger than himself, he did not have the slightest contempt, and very well implemented the words of equality that Emperor Yan and Qin Tian said when they swore an alliance.
As the old saying goes, don't hit a smiling person when you reach out.
Seeing Huang Xuantai, who was the prince, such an attitude, Qin Tian was anxious in his heart, and he couldn't get angry with him, and he could only ask very politely how the battle situation was in the east, and how the young men who came with the two thousand Flame Army were doing.
Prince Tai was also very reasonable, understood Qin Tianzhi's worries, and immediately brought together the battle situation in the east.
It turned out that the Dongji Dynasty, like other countries, sent 300,000 troops to the Great Yan Border, eyeing the tiger. The Eastern Pole Dynasty was also extremely warlike, although it did not launch major wars as frequently as Tianchu, but over the years, it had also harassed the cities in the east.
This time, the momentum of the Eight-Nation Alliance has become one, and his Eastern Pole Dynasty is the most active one except for Tianchu. Soon after the arrival of the 300,000-strong army, they launched several attacks on the Longwei army, and although there was no all-out decisive battle, it was also extremely fierce.
Just after the arrival of the two thousand Flame Army, the Dongji Dynasty launched several attacks, but the scale was not large, with the strong combat power of the Flame Army, and the outstanding command of Zhuge Jingyun and others, the Great Yan Army won several battles in a row, killing many Dongji soldiers.
But the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for the Eastern Extreme Army to forcibly break through the formation of the Flame Army with a numerical advantage. Later, the Eastern Extreme Army continued to launch several large-scale attacks with the superiority of troops, and the Great Yan Army was defeated in battle, and the 2,000 soldiers of the Flame Army took the lead, and the last one was wounded, and even Helian Wuji was seriously wounded.
However, Zhuge Jingyun and Mu Yiyi coordinated and commanded the Longwei army to practice the formation, and they were still able to resist the enemy's attack, making it difficult for the Dongji army to advance for a while.
Who knew that after the war, when the Flame Army was extremely poor, the Dongji Army actually bought off some Longwei Army soldiers, and with the concealment techniques and drugs they were good at, they secretly robbed Mu Yiyi and the other five people.
What's even more excessive is that Jiao Kadu, the commander of the Eastern Pole Army, erected three pillars several meters high in the camp on the second day, tied Helian Wuji, Ma Jinchao, and Jiao Zhongkang to them, and threatened to expose them to the sun for ten days to tell the dead of the fallen soldiers in the East Pole.
And Mu Yiyi and Zhuge Jingyun have been imprisoned, saying that they will kill Helian Wuji and the three of them to sacrifice the flag and marry the second daughter as concubines to establish their authority.
Hearing this, Qin Tian couldn't hold it back, and the teacup in his hand instantly turned into crumbs, and the tea splashed everywhere.
When Prince Tai saw this, he didn't blame him, and actually stepped forward to clean it up in person. Immediately, Qin Tian felt gaffe, and it was not easy to get angry, so he could only press down his anger and ask Prince Tai, what day is today.
Prince Tai replied that it was the fifth day. After listening, Qin Tiancai was a little relieved, the rest of the Flame Army, in two days, should be able to arrive, after a little rest, should be able to rush to the rescue.
Qin Tian asked again, where is the sergeant who collaborated with the enemy. Prince Tai's face was ashamed, and the person who collaborated with the enemy was a soldier of the Longwei army, who was on duty that night. The battalion commander, the captain, and the captain have all been beheaded for public display, and the ordinary sergeants have also been punished on the spot by the angry Flame Army soldiers.
Although these people have been corrected, they are indeed from the Longwei Army, as the commander of the Longwei Army, Prince Tai believes that he has an unshirkable responsibility and solemnly apologizes to Qin Tian. But in the face of Prince Tai's attitude, although Qin Tian was not angry in his heart, it was not easy to attack. I can only say a long sigh, and this matter will not be talked about for the time being.
The 200,000 Longwei army, plus 60,000 reinforcements from the two cities of Yi'an and Mo'an, a total of 260,000, and the 300,000 Dongji army, which can be regarded as the closest number of people in all battlefields, is also the reason why Qin Tian has always been the least worried, but he didn't expect such a big mess.
Of course, if it is said that in such a large-scale war, the life and death of only five people is not a big deal, but these five people were carefully selected and cultivated by Qin Tian, for Qin Tian, no one is missing, this is the promise given to them at the beginning, not to abandon or give up.
After understanding, after more than a dozen fierce battles in the past, the casualties on both sides should be about the same, probably around thirty or forty thousand. In all fairness, Prince Tai felt that the combat power of the Eastern Pole Army was still slightly higher than that of the Long Wei Army, but later Zhuge Jingyun and others commanded the Great Yan Army to fight the enemy in formation, so they improved their combat power to a certain extent and fought a tie with the enemy army, which was also the biggest reason why the Eastern Pole Army was especially targeting its five people.
At present, it seems that the overall strength of the two sides is still relatively intact. After pondering deeply, Qin Tian discussed with Prince Tai, these days to temporarily rest and recuperate, hold high the battle card, and summon generals at all levels to come and listen to the dispatch, Qin Tian personally arranged for them to practice the formation, although it is impossible to do it in a short period of time, but it can still improve the combat power to a certain extent. Then wait for the rest of the Flame Army to arrive.
