Chapter 1198: Fiasco

"Your Majesty, I haven't seen any action from the enemy since we defeated the enemy last time."

In a valley in Henghua Mountain, a tent stands in the center of the valley. In front of the tent, a masked woman was stroking the harp, and beside her, there was a bubbling tea smell.

After listening to the report of her subordinates, the woman did not stop, and she was still playing the piano gracefully.

The sound of her piano is sometimes soothing like a flowing spring, sometimes it is sharp like a waterfall, sometimes it is crisp like a pearl falling on a jade plate, sometimes it is low back like a whisper, and the sound of the piano is in harmony with the sound of a group of birds in the sky dancing with the sound of the piano, with the change of the sound of the piano and revealing different formations.

After about a quarter of an hour, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and after a shock of the birdsong, the birds dispersed.

If Shang Ji knew that Himiko, who had always been mysterious, was in such an inconspicuous small mountain range, I am afraid that he would not have sent Tai Shi Ci and Dian Wei to deal with this matter!

I saw Himihu wave his hand, and the piano in front of him disappeared, and the maid next to him immediately stepped forward to clean up the seat, and then heard her speak: "Don't worry about them, how many people have we gathered now?" ”

"Your Majesty, the forces gathered here have just broken half. However, the enemy has recently strengthened the blockade of the coastline, and it is difficult for the follow-up troops to come back. ”

The woman who came to report was also a woman, bowing her head and saying.

"Half? In other words, is it only 50,000? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, but all the ninth-order elites in the Servant God Legion have been assembled in place, and most of the people who remain in the Wa Kingdom are ordinary Servant Divine Guards at the peak of the Eighth Order."

Himihu frowned, but after a while, he was relieved again, and said loudly: "It can't be delayed any longer, 50,000 is enough, give Shenwu an order, and prepare to act!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The maid had just retreated, when suddenly another maid hurried in her footsteps.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, it seems that the enemy army is planning to set fire to the mountain and trap us!"

"Set fire?"

A contemptuous smile appeared at the corner of his mouth when he heard this, and he snorted coldly: "I don't know whether to live or die, I didn't know how to cherish the way I let you live before, and today I will let you die without a place to live!" ”

After speaking, a cold color flashed on Himihu's face, and he waved his hand: "Pass the order, and the whole army is ready for battle!" ”

…………………………

On the periphery of Henghua Mountain, a large number of fire oil, straw and other ignition materials are piled up at the foot of the mountain, and some of them are ready.

Tai Shi Ci, Zhang He, Xu Huang and the others glanced at each other, and then Tai Shi Ci waved his hand.

The soldiers who had been prepared for a long time drew their bows and arrows, and shot rockets into the straw and oil.

The straw soaked in fuel encountered an open flame, and the fire burst out, and in a blink of an eye, a flame dragon surrounded Henghua Mountain, and the fire swallowed the tongue of fire, and quickly spread to the mountain.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Henghua Mountain presented a scene of a sea of fire.

"Be on guard, beware of enemy dogs jumping off the wall!"

Tai Shi Ci waved his hand and ordered in a loud voice.

Tai Shi Ci didn't think that a mountain fire would burn the enemy army to death, as a ninth-order army, it would be ridiculous if they were burned to death by this ordinary mountain fire.

When a formed ninth-order army acts, it has the power to open mountains and cut off rivers, and if necessary, it can even forcibly demolish a city without using siege equipment!

The ultimate goal of setting this fire was to force out the enemy troops hidden in the mountains and force the enemy troops to start a decisive battle in the plain area that was most conducive to the Shang army's battle.

According to Tai Shici's estimate, there are more than 30,000 eighth-order troops, more than 100,000 seventh-order soldiers, and a large number of auxiliary troops such as county soldiers, and there is no problem for this force to eat this ninth-order army of less than 5,000.

It's a pity, Tai Shi Ci calculated it, but he didn't expect that the number of enemy troops was not five thousand, but a full fifty thousand!

In fact, both the Shang Ji and the high-level think tanks of the Shang Ji Army miscalculated the army they needed to face.

In Shang Ji's consciousness, this mysteriously appeared army was a special operations army used to harass the rear and block transportation risks. At the beginning, the bearded military general made a brief report to Li Heng before he died in battle, but he did not mention the fact that the enemy army had sneaked through several times.

And the Inhuman player who reported the situation saw that the beard was wiped out, and he was deeply afraid of being implicated, and he didn't know where to run for a long time.

With the death of the bearded army, the Shang army greatly underestimated the size of this army, and never imagined that Himiko, as the supreme leader of Yamadai, would come to Chenzhou in such a risky way.

In the plain at the foot of the mountain, Tai Shi Ci was completely unarmed, leading more than 10,000 Sun Divine Horsemen to prepare for the momentum, surrounded by bows and crossbows, and the main battle powerful troops such as ice shield warriors, dragon spearmen, and furious battle axes were arranged on the front line, and behind them were a large number of auxiliary troops.

"Boom!"

Ahead, there was a sudden loud noise from the burning Henghua Mountain, and then the momentum of the spreading sea of fire suddenly stagnated, and then the sea of fire was like a torn cloth, split in two from the middle.

Towering trees that require several people to hug can be easily broken like matchsticks, the sea of fire is cut open, trees are shoveled down, mountains and rocks are shattered, and the army of gods is on the scene with this almost furious posture!

"Like...... Something is wrong! ”

Tai Shi Ci looked at the sea of fire that was quickly extinguished, and his heart was slightly uneasy, the combat effectiveness of this army seemed to be much higher than expected?

However, time did not allow Tai Shi Ci to think too much, the speed of the enemy army was very fast, almost in the blink of an eye, and the army of gods who were still halfway up the mountain rushed to the foot of the mountain like a torrent.

"Attack!"

Zhang He, who was in charge of commanding the infantry group, immediately shouted, and the crossbowmen, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately released the sharp arrows in their hands, and a rain of arrows shot out from the sky, rushing towards the enemy soldiers who had not really shown their faces.

"That's not right! Wrong! That's not the right amount!! ”

The smoke and dust dispersed, and Xu Huang, who was ready to go, turned a little solemn, and after a while, his expression changed greatly, and he shouted loudly: "The situation has changed, the number of enemy troops is far more than five thousand, quickly inform General Zhang He and General Taishi!" ”

In fact, there was no need for Xu Huang to remind them, Tai Shici and Zhang He also discovered the problem one after another, and in just such a short period of time, the number of enemy troops who rushed out of the mountains and forests was more than 5,000, and there were obviously more troops in the smoke and dust behind.

"Damn, where is this five thousand? That's 50,000! ”

Looking at the steady stream of troops, Tai Shici couldn't help but scold.

Immediately afterward, something even more worrying happened to him.

The overwhelming rain of arrows completely covered the enemy's advance troops, and on average, one person could evenly distribute dozens of crossbow arrows, but the actual casualties were few, and even the momentum of the enemy's charge was not disrupted.

This also completely confirmed what Xu Huang said, the enemy army is a ninth-order army!

As soon as he thought that he had to face a full 50,000 ninth-order army, Tai Shi Ci felt like his scalp was numb.

"The order is given, the first, second, and third array infantry meet the enemy, the Sun Divine Cavalry Brigade, the Tomahawk Cavalry Brigade, and the First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Cavalry Brigades immediately retreat in the direction of Anping City, and the other armies retreat freely."

At the critical moment, Zhang He didn't care about his status, and directly roared and ordered.

Although the Servant God Legion is a foot soldier, as a ninth-order foot soldier, one of the Shang Ji troops present is counted as one, except for the 10,000 Sun Divine Horsemen who hope to escape under their pursuit, other armies can't outrun the Servant God Legion even if they are cavalry!

Zhang He immediately made a decision, at the expense of the hoplite corps and all the county soldiers, to buy time for several main cavalry corps to retreat, and try to preserve the vital forces.
