Chapter 334: The Last Madness of Armageddon
Lu Hanyang stayed in England and prepared for a protracted war with Arthur, and did not have much hope that the escaping blood shadow would be completely solved by the rest of the people. Although this war that determines the belonging of the world has begun, it is himself and Arthur who really decide the victory.
Unless there is another strong person who breaks through the demigod or even the last step among the rest of the people, after he divides the winner here, the winning side will definitely have the strength to reverse the pattern of the entire world again.
However, there is no such player yet, and everything is decided between Lu Hanyang and Arthur. And unless the rest of the people are blood shadows, even if they break through, they will only have a swing in the balance of victory between the two of them.
Because the foreign players except for the blood shadow have all signed a slavery contract with Lu Hanyang, after these breakthroughs, it is the strength of Lu Hanyang's side that has increased. On the other side, Arthur's men are not without the possibility of turning the tables, and his twelve minions have the slightest potential to be inferior to those of foreign players.
This is the reason why Arthur chose this profession in the first place, or the legendary King Arthur's ability is not super combat power, but super command ability. The great king who can make the Knights of the Twelve Round Table completely return to their hearts is definitely a convincing existence.
So if it weren't for the blood shadow breaking through the demigods or even stronger, then it would just be adding weights on both sides of the balance of the confrontation between Lu Hanyang and Arthur, and if Lu Hanyang didn't break through the last layer, he wouldn't be able to break through the gate of heaven. And Arthur can't completely kill Lu Hanyang if he doesn't take the last step of promotion.
Therefore, to make a summary, in fact, it fell on the heads of Lu Hanyang and Arthur in the end, and the rest of them just added some more weight to the victory.
But how easy is it to break through the last step? Lu Hanyang pinned his hopes on the people of the Tang Dynasty to continue to provide him with powerful feelings, and then transform them into his own true yuan, which he had already asked Xuanzang to do.
And Arthur transformed the originally hopeless breakthrough into the changes he had already experienced, linked the last step to the breakthrough of the twelve minions, and completely attached his hope of breakthrough to the level of the twelve minions to break through to the demigod level. As long as all twelve minions have broken through to become a demigod, he can make himself the last step through the transformation of the Heavenly Gate.
Both of them have their own plans, and they have even begun to put them into practice, so that the final outcome of this war has not been revealed for a long time. However, the final answer is unknown, but the war in the mundane world has not stopped, and in the mundane, the final decisive battle between the Tang army with the onmyoji-style god and the European army with the artifact given by King Arthur has begun.
The Tang army was wearing dark armor, holding sharp soldiers, spears flashing with cold light, and the armor reflected the color of blood. At this moment, the final Armageddon between the Tang army and the European army began.
On the European side, the iron armor they wore was a whole piece of plate armor, which was completely different from the scale and leaf armor of the Tang Dynasty, and the bulky armor gave them super defensive power, but it also deprived them of speed and agility. Despite being one of the two most powerful legions in the world right now, they both fought on horseback, and they didn't need their own physical strength to support this iron jar-like armor.
The two armies did not carry out the offensive and defensive battles of the city, but directly pulled up a large army in the field, charged and killed each other, crushed the enemy, and then won the victory, which was the most direct way, giving up the garrison of the city, but there was no way to do it.
Because these cities do not have high walls, they are all surrounded by residential areas, and the center is a castle architectural style. This is the urban style of the West. There were some low walls in the territory close to the Tang Dynasty before, but the more you pushed west, the more the walls gradually disappeared.
Because in this era, the population of the West is indeed much worse than that of the East, and the army organized by more than a dozen countries in Europe is equivalent to the Tang Dynasty that has just ended the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
And even if the war is lost, the civilians will not suffer much damage, at most the house will be destroyed in the battle, and the new lord will take over the castle and the civilians inside.
Therefore, in the absence of a city wall to garrison, the Tang army directly came to a field decisive battle with the enemy, and at this time, the Tang army had reached the vicinity of Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire. Compared with the troops sent after Europe, but the territory that was fought was almost the same.
Because of the appearance of Onmyoji Ampei Qingming, the advance speed of the Datang army was much faster than that of the Europeans, which made the Datang send troops for nearly a year later, and still fought against the European army.
The armies of the two sides confronted each other on a plain near Constantinople, and built a continuous series of tent camps on each other, separated by only a dozen kilometers, and even the smoke of the other party's cooking could be clearly seen.
This area is the venue for the decisive battle, here, the Tang army is lined up into dozens of phalanxes, each phalanx is 10,000 people, all waiting for the arrangement of Li Jing, the general manager of the march. The same is true for the European legions on the other side, but their commanders are twelve old fellows, kings from the twelve kingdoms of Europe.
In the history of Europe, there were many times when kings were in battle, and it was a war that decided the fate of the whole world. Therefore, on this battlefield, the European countries attached great importance to it, and the kings of their twelve kingdoms all came in person to take charge of the artifacts of the Knights of the Round Table in their respective countries.
It is precisely because of this system that they have no way to fight with one heart, and each has its own abacus. At this time, these people had to twist into a rope in the face of the Tang army, because they knew that if they still had different intentions at this time, they could not be the opponents of the Tang army.
"Alice, as the king of the Kingdom of Prussia, are you willing to put the Iron Legion in your hands into this death charge of ours? We need warriors to break through the so-called formation of the Orientals! An old guy with a white beard said to an old guy with a black beard.
"Charles, my old friend, has your Louis Legion in France been formed? If you do, then I'm willing to hand over my Predator. The old man with a black beard replied.
"Then it's decided, one legion for each country, a total of 120,000 people, form a death stormtrooper, and directly carry the artifact to attack the formation of the Orientals." A group of old fellows decided, and in the end, they went crazy, and handed over all twelve artifacts to the charging death squad, so that they could deal a heavy blow to the eastern army.
This method may seem like a brain-dead method of selecting people to rush into the enemy's camp and carry out suicide attacks, but this practice was very popular in ancient times, and such legions would be formed in the face of difficult wars, in order to fight the hardest battles at the lowest cost.
Not only Western countries, but also in ancient times, those legions that have been passed down through the ages, what backslaught army, what camp, what tiger and leopard cavalry, these are all death squads, as long as it is the most difficult battle, hand over to these legions is half of the victory, such a legion has a very high damage rate, but the probability of making contributions is also the highest among all armies.
It's like the first person to climb the enemy's wall in the siege, and it will be recorded, and when the achievement is celebrated afterwards, it is definitely a great achievement.
Therefore, the Westerners have formed a death squad of 120,000 people, this team can be described as extremely powerful, generally speaking, the number of death squads is not very large, but this time it is obvious that the Westerners are doing everything to win, because the strength of the Easterners is not worse than them, and the magical Eastern formation bonus makes their army very defeated in the previous battle.
Therefore, they formed a huge death squad, even if they fought these 120,000 people, they would use their artifacts to wipe out the Orientals, which was their real purpose.
So at this time, on the outskirts of Constantinople, after facing each other for several days, the two sides finally launched an attack, and the Westerners 120,000 troops rushed towards the Oriental weapon, and one by one the soldiers on tall horses, holding crosses and swords in their hands, shouted the names of their respective countries, and calmly died at this moment.
And on the side of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing has already prepared the formation, the long snake formation, the goose wing formation, and other military formations on the art of war have all been used, and he has been looking forward to this war for a long time, and all the things he has learned in his life have been used in this battle, and this kind of exhilaration, which Li Jing has never had.
Even Li Jing felt that the enemy was a fool, and there was no root in his brain. Because in this battle, the opponent will only have one thing: charge, charge forward, crush with the body of a soldier, crush with more than the enemy, and crush with the iron armor of his own strong defense.
This is a contest with no wisdom, only brute force, and while Li Jing shows what he has learned, he feels that such an enemy is really a bit insulting to the gully in his chest. But although this is the case, as the head of the Tang Dynasty's Western Expedition, he will never joke with the lives of his soldiers because of the recklessness of the enemy.
So in this war, Li Jing still integrated the power in his hands, and used the greatest strength to win this battle beautifully. It's like the battle array he has set up now, and all the gods of Ampere Qingming are hidden in it.
"Roar...... Boom ......" As the Western army got closer and closer, and the Eastern Tang Army also had more than a dozen 10,000 troops facing the front, the two sides collided like two tides, and there was no word between them, only the blades and blood in their hands had a dialogue.
With the two armies fighting together, the Tang army suddenly retreated to both sides, suddenly revealing a large open space in the center, and on the opposite side and on both sides, all the soldiers were wearing heavy armor and holding huge tower shields, which were superimposed together to form a wall-like area, trapping the Europeans in the center.
"Despicable Oriental, can you dare to fight General Ben one-on-one?" The surroundings were besieged, and then countless arrows continued to shoot out from all directions, and one arrow after another was densely packed like a black cloud directly from a distance and instantly came to the side, and then killed countless European soldiers. This made the leaders of the European legions unbearable, and shouted loudly that they wanted to fight to the death with the Tang soldiers.
But the Tang army ignored them at all, but still shot at these guys behind the shield, and countless arrows were thrown at the European army like a shower, causing countless casualties to these Europeans, after all, there are still a few Europeans who can afford to wear tin cans on the battlefield.
That kind of full-body armor can only be worn by real knights, and only nobles are qualified to wear it. Ordinary soldiers are plate armor, and they are not real iron armor, most of them are leather armor, and in the face of the arrows of the Tang army, their armor cannot be completely defended.
And there is another point, the arrows used by the Tang army at this time are not ordinary arrows, but are constantly processed along the way, and the arrows, arrow shafts, and arrow feathers are transported separately and only begin to be assembled together on the battlefield. On the way, all the arrows were processed, not to change the shape or anything, but to bury all the arrows directly with the manure of the war horse.
Such an arrow looks the same as before, but it has a little rudimentary form of a biological weapon, which is the wisdom of the ancients: the poison of dirty arrows. When this arrow hits the human body, it will infect the wound with some germs, causing inflammation and even plague.
"The cowards of the Tang Dynasty, no one dares to fight? Roar...... "The European generals in the encirclement were still yelling at this time, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent, and in this straight-up battle that was close to a duel, the enemy was actually playing tricks. This is an insult to the sacred battle.
And with the passage of time, nearly half of the European armies were gradually killed, which made the generals of Europe who led the charge completely angry, so they began to launch their own side of the background, and a snow-white light appeared on the battlefield, and suddenly the European soldiers either appeared healing light, or light armor, etc., for a time the European army became extremely strong.
"Kill the Europeans with the artifact! General Ampere Harumi! Li Jing stood in front of the handsome tent behind him at this time, watched the pillars of light rise in front of him, and suddenly said to a little man in armor beside him.
This is An Pei Qingming, Lu Hanyang's first test product, and he is also the onmyoji of the Japanese slave country. At this time, he served as a general in the Tang Army, and it was obviously his role in the army during this period of time that made him mix up such a military position.
