Chapter Twenty-Six: A Bold Resistance
The casualties were counted, Billy Eugene almost blew up his lungs, and in the opponent's attack of just ten minutes, his 200,000 army was actually only 110,000, except for being directly killed by that unknown weapon, the rest of the soldiers were shocked into the sea by the huge air wave generated by the explosion, choked to death.
Looking at the corpses of soldiers, the fragments of ship planks, the wreckage of bed crossbows, and the disappearance of the entire Derek division, Billy wanted to jump into the sea in grief.
He now finally understood why Chu Ning's army had lost.
I also understand Prince Sauron's mood and motivation for wanting to destroy the other party urgently.
This kind of powerful weapon is beyond the scope of normal people's comprehension, no matter what it is, if it is equipped on a large scale, it can easily destroy a country, which is a huge threat to many forces in the entire Moya, and it is a threat at the strategic level.
For the Free Federation, if you can't control it, there are only two paths left, either destroy it or be destroyed by it!
Either way, its users, the Sang clan, would become the public enemies of the entire Moya Continent.
Billy was an extremely intelligent man, and immediately thought about the value of this weapon, and the impact it could have.
At present, the number of such weapons is limited, otherwise it is estimated that all of them will die at sea. Moreover, the West Island, Assyria and other countries do not know that the San people have mastered this weapon, so doesn't it mean that as long as they eliminate the San people, it is very likely to discover the secret of this weapon?
If the Free Federation's army had mastered this weapon, what would it do with it?
Thinking of his father-in-law, Sauron, Billy felt a faint sense of fear, mixed with a little fanaticism.
"It seems that the threat of the Sang clan is too great, if you can't get rid of them this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance in the future!"
Billy's face was cloudy and he muttered to himself.
……
Xie Feiyun finally saw what the real elite was, and the cavalry of more than 1,000 people on the opposite side slaughtered the elite cavalry of the 1st Division in only half an hour. Especially the hundreds of people in front of them, all of them were strong archers, and the shooting range actually reached 300 meters, who would have thought that they would guard against the opponent's bow and arrow from 300 meters away?
That's not all, just when the soldiers under his command rushed to the opponent's flank and were about to outflank the attack, those ghosts with wooden boxes on their backs actually appeared again!
They hid behind wooden crates, one by one armed with crossbows, these crossbow arrows were so powerful that they were the nemesis of the cavalry.
At least four or five hundred soldiers of the 1st Division died before they rushed to them, who would have thought that those guys would run faster than rabbits, pick up wooden boxes and hide behind those yellow-armored cavalry.
Then the two sides began to handover the handover, and they didn't know which force those yellow-armored cavalry belonged to, all of them were amazingly powerful, and they were all brave and brave in cavalry and foot combat, and the general who commanded the army was actually on a par with himself.
The most important people were those who carried wooden boxes, they used wooden boxes to form a simple position, and protected one of them, who was armed with an oily green longbow, and constantly attacked the generals of the 1st Division, 100 commanders, 5 brigade commanders, and more than half of them died under his arrows.
Although the other side also suffered casualties, the battle damage was really disproportionate.
This is probably the most aggrieved and torturous battle Xie Feiyun fought, he was entangled by the opposing generals, and could only watch his subordinates being slaughtered continuously, and in the end, he had to flee in a hurry with hundreds of remnants.
Xie Feiyun didn't dare to look back, just desperately whipped the war horse under his crotch. That archer is so terrible that his archery can only be described as superb, and if he doesn't escape, he will definitely die under the opponent's arrows.
What kind of force is the other side? Powerful cavalry, powerful weapons, and a flying feather!
If it is the hidden power of the Sang Clan, then the Sang Clan is too terrifying!
No way! General Billy had to get the news to him......
Seeing that the enemy ran away without a trace, Gao Ran, Qiu Ye and others all breathed a sigh of relief, although the enemy was destroyed very heavily in this battle, they were also the end of the strong crossbow, they simply cleaned up the battlefield, and simply bandaged the wounds, and rode north to join Sang Nan and others.
In order not to leave any clues for Billy, the bodies of more than 200 of the war dead were also taken away by them.
They waited at a pass twenty miles away, called Shuangfengkou.
It was a small fortress built between two mountains, and the inside of the fortress could only accommodate two hundred soldiers. Strictly speaking, it is more like a watchtower, and its main role is to warn.
The mouth of the twin peaks is only seventy miles away from Ice Dragon City, Chu Ning was defeated and was forced to shrink his defense, there was no large army stationed in the south of Ice Dragon City, but Chu Ning still left a lot of light and dark checkpoints around to monitor Ice Dragon City's every move.
If you want to go around the Twin Peaks Pass to Ice Dragon City, you need to walk an extra five miles.
After discussing with Wang Che, he decided to take a risk and take the remaining more than 2,000 people to fight a blocking battle at the Shuangfeng Pass, trying to eliminate the living forces of the Free Federation's reinforcements, while slowing down the speed of the other party's convergence with Chu Ning.
For this reason, Sang Nan also sent people to rush to Ice Dragon City, and conveyed his thoughts to the patriarch Sang Haiyuan and his father Sang Baihua, asking them to send troops to deter Chu Ning's army, while he would meet the opportunity to act, and after completing the task of blocking, he rushed to Ice Dragon City to meet everyone.
Taking advantage of the gap before the other party arrived, he and Wang Che and others planted 200 mines under the surface of the pass at the Shuangfeng Pass, which stretched for almost seven or eight miles along the channel.
These mines, after repeated tests by Runye, can withstand a pressure of 400 catties without exploding, that is, a normal person walking on them will not cause an explosion. However, if cavalry and baggage vehicles are pressed on it, it can be easily detonated.
Runye once explained in detail how to use landmines for Sangnan, but it was the first time for Sangnan to plant so many mines at the same time.
For the location of these mines, Sang Nan and Wang Che and the others also took great pains, and the little belongings that Runye brought from Spindle Valley had been almost used by them, so they must make good use of it. Sang Nan speculated that when the other commander-in-chief saw that the pass was empty, he would definitely send infantry to explore the road first, followed by a large army, and as for who would come first and who would come after the cavalry and baggage vehicles, he could not accurately predict.
After Qiu Ye, Gao Ran and the others arrived, Sang Nan sent people to take them to the ambush site and hurry up to rest, because what followed was a tragic battle.
"Childe, are you going to play real this time?" Qiu also sat on the ground, baring his teeth and bandaging the wound on his finger, but asked Sannan in a solemn tone.
"Take care of yourself later, maybe there will be a surprise!" Sang Nan lay on his back in the grass, with a grass stalk at the corner of his mouth, biting gently. (To be continued.) )
