Chapter 179: The Blue Gripen Flag
The fighting in Anxi City was still going on, and Bayintu and Walden were now having a headache when they looked at the great city built on a high slope and strangled the passages. The city of Anxi was built on the river, and the rushing Zharim River was so deep and fast that it could not be crossed at all. After hundreds of years of continuous improvement and expansion, the scale of Anxi City is larger than that of Zhenbei City, and this is an important frontier trade town, so Dayan set up Anxi Protectorate and Anxi Taishou Mansion here. Therefore, Anxi City is a giant city with complete military and political departments and complete functions. The rushing Zarim River was diverted into a deep, wide moat, which flowed back to the main channel of the Zarim River after a circle around the city.
This moat alone blocked the Sky Wolf Army for half a month. Filling in the soil didn't matter, a bag of soil was thrown into the river, and it was washed away without even a bubble. In desperation, I had to cut down trees to make bridges and extend them to the opposite bank little by little. Just to cross this moat, Bayintu lost no less than 20,000 people. Fortunately, Walden arrived with an army of 100,000 and a lot of siege equipment, and also brought a large number of ballistas and thunderbolts, which suppressed the attack of the Anxi defenders, and reluctantly built several wooden bridges, and the wolf cavalry began the real siege battle.
The Great Governor of Anxi, Tai Limu, was a member of the Dongyi clan, whose family once followed Yan Wushuang to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, so he was knighted. Because of this, the Tailimu family has always had a close relationship with the Yan family, and since Yan Chengyu was suppressed by Emperor Suzheng, Tailimu was also excluded and sent to Anxi as the chief governor. And Anxi is too guarded by Mo Feibai, but he has a relationship with King Yan, so Mo Feibai and Tai Limu, the two old brothers who are connected with the same fate, came to Anxi City together to defend the border for the country, and this time the two brothers fought side by side against the wolf ride.
Although this Anxi City is far away from Dayan, the military and government are harmonious, and the army and the people are like a family, which is simply a piece of paradise on the grassland. And although it is a frontier, it is a trade hub that communicates Dayan and Manggul, and the annual tax revenue is a lot of wealth. This also allowed Terim, a war maniac who liked to use two wheel axes, to arm his army to the teeth with a lot of money.
To say that it is enough for an Anxi Governor to have forty or fifty thousand soldiers and horses, Manggul will not attack Dayan, and the Anxi Governor's Mansion is to deal with the horse bandits and tribal rebellions on the grassland, and there is really no big battle to fight. But Tailim couldn't stay still, so he expanded the army and trained the army if he had nothing to do. Especially during the civil strife in Dayan, he vigorously expanded his army and was ready to return to the Central Plains to quell the rebellion at any time. However, the imperial court seems to have forgotten the existence of this Governor's Mansion, and the two brothers have no one to pay attention to and no one to ask, and they have written several times like a stone in the sea. Tai Limu was so angry that he wanted to lead the army back to the Central Plains to ask what was going on, but Xin Mo Feibai's calm personality persuaded Tai Limu, which allowed the Anxi Protectorate to have the self-protection ability of an army of 150,000.
The two brothers waited and waited, but they didn't wait for Emperor Dayan's will, but they waited for the Sky Wolf to come. The two brothers looked at the full moon and golden wolf flag in their eyes, and their anger rose from their hearts. When will it be Dayan's turn to be bullied by these wolf cubs, if he didn't say anything, he started fighting.
The city defense facilities that Tailim had nothing to do to change finally had a place to use, and groups of celestial wolves who rushed up cried wolf howls when they were beaten. The gunners of Anxi City are also very accurate, saying that the wooden bridge in the middle of you will never touch the one next to it, and the use of fire oil is more skilled than Ma Qimeng, and Bayintu and Walden's wolf riders will face not only the rain of arrows, but also the baptism of thunderbolt fire rain. It's been almost three months, and no one has been able to climb to the top of the city, and the corpses of the Sky Wolf Rider are piled up under Anxi City. In order to avoid the outbreak of the plague, at the end of each battle, the corpses would be burned with fire oil on the castle. In this way, the more the wolf riders fight, the more scared they become, who wants to fight this death-to-death battle where there is no hope of victory and no return.
For this reason, Bayintu and Walden had to stop their attack, and their thunderbolts were almost gone, so they had to report the situation to Sumedo for reinforcements. It is useless to besiege Anxi City, behind Anxi City is a wide and sturdy stone bridge across the Zarim River, and all kinds of material resources transported from Manggul are endless, and there is no need to worry about being intercepted by the Sky Wolf Cavalry, so if you want to capture Anxi City, you have to find another way.
At this time, in the Governor's Mansion of Anxi, Tairim and Mo Feibai warmly received a distinguished guest from the Manggul Kingdom, the Generalissimo of the Manggul Kingdom, Duke Rommel. Duke Rommel was a beautiful man with blond hair and blue eyes, and although his neatly trimmed beard was gray, it was difficult to hide the demeanor of his youth.
"Your Excellency Duke Rommel, on behalf of the military and civilians of Anthy City, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to your country for the selfless assistance you have provided to us. I wonder why His Excellency the Duke came to Anxi City? Mo Feibai asked.
"Your Excellency, my old friend. I have come this time at the behest of His Majesty King Manggul to inform you of the situation in Dayan, as well as the proposals of His Majesty the King of our country. Your Excellency, this is a letter from His Majesty the King. ”
Mo Feibai took the letter and opened it, his face became solemn and abnormal. Mo Feibai knew about the civil strife in Dayan, but in recent months, he didn't know many things due to news barriers. Looking at the situation of Dayan being chaotic into a pot of porridge, and looking at Emperor Su Zheng, who was constantly cutting the land and retreating, Mo Feibai's face was flushed with anger, and his chest rose and fell rapidly. He handed the letter to Tai Limu, and after reading it, Tai Limu slapped the table and roared: "What kind of bullshit court is this, what kind of waste emperor." The faces of the ancestors have been lost by them, and if this continues, won't the entire grassland become the world of wolf cubs? ”
"My elder brother Tailim, His Majesty the King wrote this letter five days ago, and when I came to Anxi, our intelligence already showed that Zhenbei City had been besieged and Wolf Mountain had been lost. That is to say, now the entire steppe is already the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, and your Anxi City has been separated from Great Yan by the Heavenly Wolf Khanate. ”
"This, how should this be?" Mo Fei rubbed his hands together in vain.
"Then what else is there to say, hold Anxi City and wait for the day when Dayan's army comes back." Terimu shouted.
Rommel appeased the old brothers, and he said to the old brothers seriously: "Our army's intelligence shows that the 200,000 troops of the Great Khan of the Heavenly Wolf Khanate, Sumeduo, besieged Zhenbei City, and 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Zhenbei City did not surrender until death, and all of them starved to death in Zhenbei City. Sumedo closed the four gates of the northern city of the town and renamed it the City of Warriors. Oh, allow me to salute these 100,000 warriors. ”
Rommel took off his helmet and bowed his head in silence in the direction of Zhenyuan City, and Mo Feibai and Terim also stood up and bowed, and the old brothers were already in tears.
"My brother, Dayan and Manggul have been brotherly states since ancient times, and at the time of crisis when Manggul was invaded by Beijung, it was the great Marshal Yan Wushuang who led LinkedIn's brave Northern Army to help us defeat the invaders and protect the lives and freedom of the Manggul people. The friendship between our two countries is cemented with blood and is unbreakable. Now that Dayan is in crisis, please let us help you. My 200,000 heavily armored cavalry is across the river, so let's fight side by side again. ”
The three hands were clasped tightly.
Su Meiduo's 200,000 troops finally arrived in Anxi City, and Su Meiduo couldn't help but express heartfelt admiration when he looked at Anxi City under the blue sky and white clouds.
"It's such a beautiful city, and if there is no war, I believe it will be even more beautiful."
"Great Khan, I am willing to lead the army to take this beautiful city and dedicate it to you, only you who are beautiful and noble can have such a city."
Since Jebeli needed to garrison Wolf Mountain to guard against Dayan, it was Jimut who commanded the 200,000-strong army this time. Sumedo smiled and said: "My warrior of Jimut, I value action more than words, go ahead, show the majesty of your warrior." ”
Just as the army led by Jimut approached the city of Anxi, bullets rained down on the city, and the sound of fierce explosions resounded through the heavens and the earth, and Bayintu and Walden had to retreat to safety with their troops. They have not yet regrouped, the gates of Anxi City have been opened, and the drawbridge has been lowered. A large detachment of cavalry rushed out of the city, and after they had rushed through the moat, they quickly lined up in large formations and prepared for the charge.
The army led by Jimut was about to arrive, and he couldn't help but frown when he saw the army opposite. Seeing that the 200,000 cavalry were neatly divided into two camps, the 100,000 cavalry on the left side was familiar to every Sky Wolf Cavalry, that was Dayan's cavalry, the bright red golden dragon battle flag, and the black and bright armor were enough to explain everything. And the 100,000 cavalry on the right has never been seen before.
Jimut: "What kind of troops are the 100,000 men on the right?" ”
Bayintu: "It should be Manggul's army, and it must be their elite heavy cavalry, you look at their banner." ”
The heavy cavalry of the Manggul Kingdom are all dressed in silver armor, and the helmets are blue, if it is not for the war, such a costume walking on the street will definitely attract the eyes of countless girls. This is how Generalissimo Duke Rommel explained it.
"We love all beautiful things, our soldiers are the pride of the Manggul country, war is cruel, there will be sacrifice when there is war, then let us leave this world with glory and beauty."
This sentence is a good reflection of the character of the Manggul people, who are enthusiastic, free, unrestrained, romantic and proud. Therefore, the soldiers of Manggul take great care of their armor and uniforms, and they must keep their uniforms neat and tidy at all times and polish their armor shiny. Therefore, the army of Manggul on this continent is not necessarily the most capable of fighting, but it must be the most beautiful army.
Equally beautiful was the banner of Manggul, behind Duke Rommel was a huge dark blue banner fluttering in the wind, on the surface of which was a lion with wings outstretched, a crown on its head, claws waving, and a mouth open to roar.
In the legend of Manggul, the Gripen is the embodiment of the gods, representing strength and victory. The dark blue flag, the silver Gripen, and the purple tassels make this flag solemn and beautiful. Blue is the color of the eyes of the Manggul people, especially the eyes of the Manggul girl, which is the blue sea that makes people immersed in it at a glance, and purple represents nobility and purity, which is the color of the Manggul king.
The Manggul people are generally tall, and even the war horses produced by Manggul are taller and stronger than the war horses ridden by Dayan and Sky Wolf, which is why the Manggul heavy armored cavalry, even the people and horses are wrapped in thick armor, but they can still maintain a high-speed impact.
Duke Rommel conceded to Terim, who gave him a great military salute, and on this occasion, the two armies fought in tandem, and the one with the highest rank was the main general. Rommel drew his shiny sword and pointed it straight at the sky.
"Warriors of Manggul, brothers of Dayan. Five hundred years ago, the great Marshal Yan Wushuang once commanded the soldiers of our two countries to resist the shameless aggression of Beirong. In that great war that decided the life and death of Manggul, the blood of the soldiers of our two countries was shed together. Today, in the sacred Hall of Heroes of Manggul, the names of the warriors of the two countries are still engraved. Today, in the beautiful city of Anxi, our brothers' gang has been invaded by the descendants of Beijung, and we must not tolerate the slaughter of our brothers, and we cannot tolerate the separation of our relatives from life to death. The glory of God is undefiled, and the light of freedom hangs over all nations. Fight, warriors. Fight, follow in the footsteps of heroes. God bless Manggul, God bless Dayan. ”
"Great Yan Wansheng, Manggul Wansheng!" 100,000 Yan cavalry shouted in unison.
"God bless Manggul, God bless Dayan, God bless my king." 100,000 heavily armored cavalry shouted in unison, and the knights drew their swords and clenched their spears. The loud trumpet has been sounded, this is the order to attack. Rommel's sword and Tyrim's wheel axe were pointed at the wolf rider at the same time. (To be continued.) )
