"However, the summoner's strength is not enough to penetrate into the hearts of the people." Qi Longyuan snorted coldly, he pointed forward with the Fang Tian Painting Halberd in his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Clear the obstacles for the army and rush to ......"
If a summoner is not strong and special enough, why are people all over the continent proud to be a summoner?
"Rush ......"
Huo Zijian, who had already turned back, suddenly exerted force under his feet, dragging a giant weapon, and instantly rushed out of dozens of meters with erratic steps, and with the next force, he had already rushed into the flock like a tiger, and between the contact between the two, countless stumps and broken bodies flew into the sky.
Immediately after, Qi Longyuan once again flew to a place a hundred meters away like a demon god, and a blood-red field with a diameter of sixty meters appeared proudly, and the elemental power smashed down violently, most of the warriors who were shrouded in it vomited blood and died on the spot, only a few people did not die because of the slightly smaller strength they received, but under the pressure of the elemental power, they were unable to stand.
In the next second, Gong Leng and Wei Renyan also fell into the crowd one after the other, and as soon as they fought, they brought great damage, seeing that many enemy soldiers were cut off by them, or their heads and arms were thrown away.
Qi Longyuan suddenly launched a counter-charge, which not only caught the enemy by surprise, but also opened up a space for the ensuing cavalry battalion to charge.
Just when the remaining summoners launched a counter-charge against the crowded enemy troops without hesitation, the vanguard of the cavalry battalion two miles outside the city had already rushed into the entrance of the city gate, let out a powerful and confident shout, and rushed towards the enemy without flinching.
After a few breaths, the vanguard had not yet rushed into the ranks of the enemy troops, and several tall and burly soldiers behind them carried portable missile launchers on their backs, and as soon as they went out of the door, they launched one missile after another.
Boom boom, this indiscriminate bombardment, almost hit Qi Longyuan and others, but the effect was also very good, the violent explosion caused the enemy soldiers to turn on their backs, blood flowed like a river, and after such a fierce attack, the enemy troops were still able to hold on, and immediately dispersed.
The army of the cavalry battalion poured in like a tide, and the generals guarding the city pass knew that the general situation was gone, and they were powerless and too late to restrain the army, so they secretly fled one after another.
The army of the Xiao cavalry battalion all entered the city, Xiao Chen took Zhu Jingyao and the two of them to jump off the city wall, such a high city wall, if it was an ordinary person, if it was an ordinary person, it would have to be crippled if it didn't fall to death, but the three of them were all summoners, and this distance was not enough to threaten.
The vanguard battalion of the cavalry battalion chased the enemy for a while, and then under the leadership of their respective commanders, they converged according to the previously established plan and quickly advanced towards the west of the city.
Although they attacked the city, they were worried that the enemy would come to catch the turtles in the urn, and they had to pass quickly to ensure safety.
Yun Lang, Ren Kangde and others found Xiao Chen one after another, and everyone's secretly relieved expressions were silently looked at by Xiao Chen.
Needless to say, the combined army is advancing in one place.
It didn't take long to come to the vicinity of the actual combat base in the sporadic battle, and the fat cat had already relied on his sense of smell to greet him with monkeys and other pets, and Liu Rushi, who was chasing behind, was also secretly relieved after seeing Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen is the key for everyone to display their talents, if something happens to Xiao Chen, they can't finish eating and walking, what is there to give them a stage to display their talents?
"My lord, I have good news for you." Liu Rushi said happily.
"Hehe, Xiao likes to hear good news now, Lord Liu, please speak." Xiao Chen said happily.
"Here's the thing, trapped in the city today, Xia Guan was anxious, so he sent out many people to inquire about the news, Xia Guan couldn't help but go out and take a turn, as a result, Xia Guan found that many military camps in the city had already been empty......
"This, Lord Liu, we're pressed for time, so you'd better really pick it up, right?" Xiao Chen thought to himself, why do these officials in Honglu Temple like to talk about causes and consequences?
"It's that the lower official didn't think about it well, in a word, after you set off, the lower official took people to the Zhencheng garrison barracks, and found that a batch of supplies had just arrived, because there were not enough people, they didn't even get off the car, and the lower official saw that there was a cheap advantage to take advantage of, so he brought all the people back."
"Oh? How many truckloads of supplies are there? Xiao Chen was immediately overjoyed, no matter what the materials were, they all needed, not to mention the transport vehicle, which was simply a joy to be overjoyed.
"There are a total of thirty trucks, which is the January supply ......of Zhencheng Yiwei, which is a supply of 10,000 people," Liu Rushi said with a smile.
"Okay, well done, Lord Liu, you've done a great job." Xiao Chen happily arched his fist at Liu Rushi to congratulate him.
"Hehe, it's also the luck of the lower officials." Liu Rushi was also very happy, thirty truckloads of supplies, he grabbed them without hurting anyone, how to count it is a great credit.
"I'll put this on record and I'll talk about meritorious deeds later, Lord Liu, let's go take a look at the vehicles and supplies?"
"I've already asked people to drive the vehicle to the west of the city, Lord Xiao, please."
Among his peers, Xiao Chen listened carefully to Liu Rushi's explanation and knew the ins and outs.
It turned out that after Xiao Chen and the others left, Liu Rushi became more and more uneasy, and he suddenly remembered that there was a military camp not far from here, and he wanted to create some chaos in the city and relieve some pressure on the east and west cities.
With this thought, Liu Rushi couldn't sit still anymore, he immediately took some people and quietly went to the barracks, but when he arrived at the ground, Liu Rushi found that there were only a few old, weak, sick and disabled guards in the barracks, and they controlled the enemy army without much effort.
After a little cross-examination, Liu Rushi learned that the main force of the military camp had already left the city, because the war broke out in the east of the city, and the remaining people in the military camp who could fight were basically taken away by the guards.
In the barracks of 10,000 people, only a dozen or so people with little combat effectiveness were left to guard, and there were still 30 vehicles of materials parked on the playground of the army, and the materials were in good condition.
Liu Rushi did not hesitate to encroach on these materials, not afraid of the enemy's military pursuit, and at the same time, he also wanted to use these materials or vehicles to let the vehicles hit the gate if the gate of Xicheng was not opened.
Xiao Chen didn't know Liu Rushi's thoughts about being a loser, otherwise he would definitely scold the other party.
As early as when he left the imperial capital, Xiao Chen was worried about supplies.
Prior to this, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion had obtained a batch of weapons purchased by Xiao Chen, and then a batch of weapons hidden by the emperor, so they were not bad at the moment.
However, with the depletion and no source of supplies, sooner or later they will face the problem of lack of ammunition, after all, they still have a long way to go from their ancestral land, and there will be many fierce battles to fight on the road.
In addition to the supply of weapons, what the cavalry battalion lacks most at the moment is living materials.
Those who have no food or drink, and those who are beaten with iron can't stand it, not to mention that they have to travel long distances?
Of course, the necessities of life can be purchased in the city on the way, but who can guarantee that the cities they encounter along the way are still in the hands of the royalists or neutralists?
Recklessly entered the city controlled by King Langya to buy supplies, fearing that he would set himself on fire and expose the weakness of lack of materials.
When he was stationed in the barren mountain, Xiao Chen even thought about fighting to raise the war, going out to rob the merchants and villagers, and it was a big deal to give the other party a batch of wishing beads afterwards.
But these ideas are not very safe after all, and they are not quite in line with Xiao Chen's concept of how to live in the world.
Now, with thirty truckloads of supplies, their 4,000 soldiers can at least hold out to their ancestral land.
The army of the cavalry battalion was divided into three groups for the speed of marching, and marched side by side from the three major ranks, along the way, some of the defenders of the earthquake city hid in the dark to attack the army, and at the beginning, the soldiers of the cavalry battalion also fiercely counterattacked one or two.
But the further back, the more attacks, but the effect of the counterattack is very small, Yun Lang learned, he ordered all the soldiers to ignore the sporadic sneak attack, quickly get out of the battle, if it is really troublesome, bombardment with missiles, the use of artillery to fight mosquitoes, to deter.
When Xiao Chen arrived in Xicheng with the army, the three gates of the city had been opened, and the soldiers and summoners of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion who arrived first had firmly guarded everywhere, and the rest of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion were leaving the city quickly and calmly.
Xiao Chen was also supported out of the city, and when he arrived outside the city, Wei Hancheng and the others had been waiting for a long time, and their team of students and officials seemed incompatible with the soldiers gathered in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion.
The soldiers of the cavalry battalion, under the leadership of the officers of each brigade, assembled two miles away from the city, two miles was a relatively safe distance.
Wei Hancheng also reported the loss to Liu Rushi and Xiao Chen, this raid on the West City Gate, two military attaches and a student were killed, these three people had a card to return to the city for the dead, and returned to the imperial capital in an instant, but they didn't know what the fate was waiting for them.
Xiao Chen was also a little uncomfortable in his heart, more than fifty powerful summoners, in the face of Xicheng Pass, where most of the main force was withdrawn, still attacked suddenly, and there were still three casualties, which made him speechless.
This batch of students and officials selected by the emperor still need to be cultivated?! Xiao Chen sighed in his heart.
"My lord, when we broke through the gates, we captured a number of mounts." Wei Hancheng saw that Xiao Chen was unhappy, and hurriedly threw out the good news that had been prepared a long time ago.
"Mounts? What mounts? Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"The Black Rhinoceros, a mount for the royal family, is scarce in number and is only for the use of the Secret Service Battalion." Wei Hancheng said with a smile.
"What is a black rhinoceros?" Xiao Chen had never heard of this name, and he asked curiously, "Is it a pet?" ”
"It's not a pet, it's a war horse, my lord, the black rhinoceros is the first creature we humans have tamed since we came to this world, with thick skin and thick skin, walking like flying, mountaineering and wading like walking on flat ground, walking in the mountains, and killing enemies are the first choice......"
"Sounds pretty good, by the way, where is the black rhinoceros? How many rides? Xiao Chen finally became happy.
"Just at the foot of the mountain in front, there are five riders in total, and they are all the inventory of Earthquake City." Wei Hancheng said with a smile.
"My lord, five black rhinos, this is definitely a windfall." Liu Rushi beat the drum on the side.
"Really? Lead me and march in the wilderness, I should have a mount of my own, right? Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Of course, five black rhinos, except for adults, who else has this qualification?" Liu Rushi said with a smile.
