Chapter 151: Jade Water City
When Lin Qu's head was cut off by the flame thorn and his broken body fell to the ground, there were cries inside and outside Anyuan City.
One is cheering, the other is full of despair.
The flame thorn flapped its wings and flew over Anyuan City, and the white head of Lin Qu's temples in his hand was still dripping blood. He looked down and saw that the entire Anyuan garrison began to disperse.
Some people knelt on the ground and begged to surrender, some fled to the city, and of course, there were also officers who organized soldiers to fight back, but in front of the surging army of snakes, it was just a bubble, which would break at the slightest touch.
I gently tapped the railing, my eyes retracted from the head of Anyuan City, and looked at the horizon in the distance.
More than half of the sun had sunk underground, night was pouring in from all directions, and the temperature on the edge of the Tagor Desert had dropped dramatically.
From the morning to the slaughter of the 2,000 Yasuto defenders who had been lured out of the city, to this time, in just one day and five battles, the strongest pass in the north of the Izumo Empire was breached.
I don't know if the snake people are too strong, or the Izumo army is too weak?
Looking at the corpses of snake people looming under the castle, the Izumo army was probably not weak......
Because of the darkness, the army of snake people did not enter Anyuan City indiscriminately - the terrain in the city is complicated, and the defenders of Anyuan still retain a lot of strength, if they are stopped by a strong general, they may be ambushed.
Therefore, the snake people only left 10,000 troops to control the northern city wall, and the rest later withdrew to the large camp outside the city.
In the big tent of the snake people's army, the lights are bright, the fire thorn has returned, and many snake people generals are also there, I don't know if they are discussing the next battle, or have they already celebrated in advance?
Tonight, there was only a crescent moon in the sky, and in the dim darkness, I could only vaguely see the outline of Anyuan City. What's going on in that city at this time?
There must have been a lot of routs who secretly fled from Anyuan City at night. Perhaps there are also remnants of generals who are gathering the remnants of their troops, vainly trying to rely on the buildings in the city to engage in street battles with the snake people army in order to delay the snake people's southward steps?
At dawn on the second day, the army of snake men sent 3,000 snake men into the city cautiously and gradually advanced along the streets.
At first, there was no movement, but a third of the way into the city, ambushes began to emerge from all corners, shooting from a distance with bows and crossbows, or fighting at close quarters!
A street battle broke out suddenly.
I stood in a corner tower at the head of the northern city wall of Anyuan, which had been captured, and looked down at the city condescendingly, with no shock in my eyes.
Compared with yesterday's siege battle, today's street battle undoubtedly seems a little childish, and it is just a dying struggle.
It's just that I still can't help sighing, there is Chen Qi in front and Lin Qu in the back, and now who is gathering troops in the city to block the snake people from going south?
It is indeed too difficult to bring down an empire that has lasted for hundreds of years.
My eyes suddenly froze, no matter how difficult the Izumo Empire is, it must be defeated. Because this is a war, a war to the death!
At this time, the situation of the battle also changed, because the army of snake people began to send reinforcements into the city, not large brigades, but elite squads.
An elite squad with a big fighter as the main and more than a dozen fighters as the auxiliary.
There are dozens of such squads, and they shuttle through the streets, constantly rushing to the aid of the 3,000 snake men who entered the city first, and accurately and effectively killing the stubborn defenders in the corner of the city.
It's just that this speed is too slow, and it wasn't until the night of the third day that the remnants of the army in Anyuan City couldn't stand the losses and took advantage of the thick night to evacuate.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the army of the snake people officially entered Anyuan City - it took two days to defeat the defenders in one day, but it took two days to clear the remnants, which is not ironic.
But everything was finally going well, and one part of the army of 100,000 snake people stayed behind to defend Anyuan City, while the rest began to attack on both sides.
Like the northern border of the Gama Empire, the northern defense line of the Izumo Empire naturally cannot have only one Anyuan Castle, and there are other passes to assist.
It took more than ten days for the entire pass on the northern border of Izumo to be occupied by the snake people.
And the strength of the snake people on the border of Tagor Izumo has also reached 400,000!
Leaving 100,000 snake men to garrison the border passes that originally belonged to the Izumo Empire, the remaining 300,000 snake people began to move south and capture the cities of the Izumo Empire.
These battles were not important, because the Izumo Empire's army was all thrown into the Izumo Gama battlefield, and the country was empty.
And the Izumo Empire's northern border army has also been defeated by the snake people, although many troops have escaped, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation.
At most, those cities are only defended by some local armies and clan sects, and as far as the snake army is concerned, it is just a layer of eggshells, which can be shattered when knocked out.
Our eyes fell on the "Jade Water City".
"The dividing line between the northern and central borders of the Izumo Empire is the line between the Qiyue Mountains and the Luan River Valley. Among them, the Qiyue Mountains are in the east, and the Luan River Basin is in the west, and the two places constitute a natural danger, which is difficult for our people to overcome. โ
In the council hall in Anyuan City, Yue Mei had already come here from the Snake Man Holy City, and a snake man general was following a large military map, explaining the battle situation to Yue Mei and many snake people in the hall.
He pointed to a river between the two regions and said, "Your Majesty, if our clan wants to go south to attack Izumo City, the best choice is to follow the jade water between the two places. โ
"The jade water is in a north-south direction, not only can our army go down the river by boat, but with the power of water transportation in this river, the logistical pressure of our army can also be greatly reduced."
Yuemei nodded and said, "It's just that Yushui is so important, the Izumo Empire will definitely gather heavy troops to defend it, right?" โ
The general nodded, his finger pointed at an inconspicuous small city on the bank of Yushui, his face became serious, and he said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, this is the cityโJade Water City!"
"This city seems to be small in scale, but it uses jade water as a pool and a pure mountain as a plug, completely choking the land of jade water."
"If our clan wants to go south along the jade water, we must first break through this city!"
I was also standing in the lobby, although it was only a corner, but I could hear it clearly, and my eyes fell on the small city.
Now the Izumo Empire is empty of troops and cannot defend the entire vast northern border.
If their higher-ups weren't stupid, they would definitely abandon the entire northern border and gather all their forces to deploy on the front line of Yushui City. In this way, they tried in vain to contain the army of the snake people in the north of the Qiyue Mountain Range-Luan River Valley.
Then transfer back the army from the battlefield of Gama Izumo, and then go north to attack the snake people and retake the entire northern border.
It seems that the next focus of the attack is Yushui City.
But the next moment, a battle report made everyone in the hall frown.
"Urgent report, more than 8,000 people from the Yanling Commander Department who attacked Tiantu City...... Annihilated! โ
