Chapter 1200: The Army Comes from the West

"Let's click".

After all the hardships and dangers, the cavalry is finally hanging the chain on the custom iron ring at the end of the crossbow arrow.

After completing the task, the team leader breathed a sigh of relief, and looked around, a team of 100 people, only four people could stand, and the rest were either killed or seriously injured and fell to the ground.

Seeing the team looking over, the wounded on the ground grinned, "Captain, you guys go, leave us alone." "It's hard to come here, and it's not easy to go back.

It was almost impossible to rush out with them.

When they took on the task, they were ready to die.

The team was extremely tough, without saying a word, rushed out with a wounded man on his back, and the remaining four people saw this, and did the same, one on his back, braving the rain of arrows, running back and forth.

Whether you can survive or not can only be left to fate.

When the division commander in the distance saw it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Yes, this is like my soldiers." Order, send a team of men up to answer, and the rest provide fire cover. ”

"No!"

As he spoke, a group of cavalry rushed out.

The cavalry in the front row bent their bows and arrows one by one, pouring arrows into the city to interfere with the enemy's attack.

When the city guard saw it, he said in a cold voice, "Do you still want to leave?" Stop them! "If the enemy is allowed to come and go like this, then the face of the Great Zhou Army will be lost.

"No!"

The two sides poured arrows on each other and fought happily.

Perhaps it was really the blessing of God, under such a dense rain of arrows, all ten cavalry successfully joined the receiving troops, and none of them were left behind.

When the city guard saw this, his face was gloomy.

The real change of color of the city guards is still to come, and after the cavalry returns, the Great Xia Forbidden Army has a new move. I saw eight of the tallest and most powerful ironclad beasts, wearing a sleeve pole and pulling an iron chain, and began to move.

The long chain straightened at once.

At this point, the secret weapon of the Great Xia Forbidden Army was fully revealed, and it was actually to pull down the city gate through the crossbow arrows that penetrated into the city gate, combined with the brute force of the ironclad beast.

"Drink!"

Under the command of the knight, the eight-headed ironclad beast unified its strength and rushed forward, and its hooves even trampled the ground down because of its excessive grip, which showed its great strength.

"Moo~~~"

The ironclad beast's head leaned forward slightly, and its front paws grasped the ground hard, struggling to move forward.

Under the fierce pull of the ironclad beast, the city gate made a "crunch~~crunch~~" sound, and the door bolt had begun to deform, looking overwhelmed.

Seeing this, the faces of the defenders at the head of the city changed greatly, and they understood the true intentions of the enemy army.

"General, what should I do?"

Thinking that if the city gate was pulled down and the 200,000 Great Xia forbidden troops rushed into the city, the Great Zhou soldiers turned pale.

The city guards were also helpless.

The iron chain oil cannot be splashed, and it is even more immune to arrows, even if it is smashed with stones, because the iron chains are already tightened, and the stones will be bounced off when they hit it, and it will not help at all.

It seems that the only way to do this is to get out of the city on your own initiative, but this is also the worst way.

"Crunch~~~Crunch~~~"

In just a moment, the city gate was completely deformed, and it was about to collapse.

"There's no way, get ready to fight!" The defenders of the city knew that they were powerless to stop the enemy from breaking through the city, and their only option was to fight the enemy in the city.

Hearing the general say this, the faces of the surrounding soldiers changed, and their eyes turned uneasily.

With their 70,000 people, how could they defeat the 200,000 Great Xia Forbidden Army? Even the Imperial Forest Army, the strongest in the imperial court, was beaten by the Great Xia Forbidden Army in the case of superior troops.

What's more, they are only one-third of the enemy's number, and if they really want to fight, they will definitely die. Thinking that the east gate has not been blocked, there are already soldiers planning how to get out of the battle smoothly and escape to the east gate.

"Boom!"

The West Gate was the first to be overwhelmed and fell to the ground with a bang.

"Charge!"

Ma Chao, the commander of the Second Legion, waved his spear and gave the order for a general attack.

"Kill!"

After receiving the military order, the cavalry rushed towards the city gate like a flood, ignoring the arrows shot overhead, and in the face of absolute numbers, the rain of arrows could no longer pose much of a threat to the army.

The vast army ran on the bluestone streets, making a "da-da" sound.

At the end of the street, the Great Zhou army hurriedly formed a formation, looking at the rushing army in fear, and their legs and stomachs were trembling. The great reputation of the Great Xia Forbidden Army is really terrifying.

It was a completely asymmetrical battle.

Almost at the same time, the north and south gates were also breached, and the third and fourth legions followed into the city, and the three-way army was like a game, bound to set off a monstrous slaughter in the city.

Huo Qu, who was outside the city, saw that he was sick, and his expression didn't even show a trace of excitement.

Such a result had long been expected by him, for the Praetorian Guard, taking Hirayama Castle could only be regarded as a warm-up, and then they would set off a monstrous wave in the entire Kyoto Province.

In just one morning, Pingshan City was completely taken by the Great Xia Praetorian Guard.

In fact, the three major armies fought in the city for less than an hour, and the Great Zhou army completely collapsed, and there was no longer the will to fight, either surrendering, or fleeing to the east gate, without any war.

The city defenders were trampled alive into meat sauce in the chaos of the army.

After killing the defenders, the Great Xia Forbidden Army did not hesitate, and directly set fire to burn more than ten large granaries in the city, leaving not a single grain of grain.

The flames shot into the sky, billowing smoke that could be seen from afar.

The Great Zhou court was simply clothed and fed, and the grain that was finally scavenged from the hands of the people was burned down, and the people in the city saw it with tears of distress.

The reality is so cruel.

Although the Great Jin Dynasty and the Central Plains Province were short of food, they could not take it away, so they could only burn it.

Without this batch of grain and grass, the military operations of the Great Zhou in the Great Jin Dynasty were unsustainable, and it was basically announced that the Great Jin War was dead halfway. In this case, if Da Zhou still wants to attack Dajin, he can only ask for hardship.

What's more, the destructive power of the Great Xia Forbidden Army has only just begun.

After burning the grain and grass, the Great Xia Forbidden Army did not hesitate, and after a full meal in the city, they took the prisoners of war and retreated like a tide. This batch of prisoners of war is the secret weapon of the Great Xia Forbidden Army to knock on other cities.

In the next two days, the Great Xia Forbidden Army made persistent efforts and won three more cities, without exception, these cities were all grain and grass transit stations set up along the way, and the whole was served in one pot.

In three days, the military rations of the Great Xia Forbidden Army were useless, and they were all solved on the spot.

Under the command of Huo Quzhi, the army sent by Wu Qi to rescue could only follow the Great Xia Praetorian Guards to eat dirt, and they couldn't even see the shadow of the forbidden army.

This time, Da Zhou was completely panicked.

The wave of fear set off by the Great Xia Forbidden Army spread rapidly from west to east, and if it were not for the tradition of not disturbing the people, I am afraid that it would have triggered a wave of displaced people.

Even so, it is a panic.

Even the people of Handan City began to tremble, fearing that they would become slaves of the country when they woke up. Calculating the time, with the advance speed of the Great Xia Forbidden Army, there are still two days at most, and they can be killed under Handan City.

That's when something strange happened.

On August 13, the Great Xia Janissary Army, which was about to reach Handan City, suddenly made a big bend, bypassed the boundary of Handan City, marched all the way, and killed the border between Kyoto Province and the Qing Dynasty.

It seems that Handan City has the existence of the Great Xia Janissaries who are afraid of it.

"What's going on?"

The people of Handan, who lived for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, felt inexplicable. Living at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many well-informed people among the people of Handan, who know that in addition to the three thousand guards in Handan City, it is the capital garrison division.

This army will not make the Great Xia Forbidden Army jealous at all.

Someone joked: "Could it be that the king's prestige makes the enemy cowardly?" Those who say this do not believe that their king can have such a prestige.

Even King Xia can't do this.

This incident has become the biggest mystery in Handan City, and only a few people know the inside story.

…………

Handan City, the royal palace.

Knowing that the Great Xia Praetorian Guard suddenly bypassed Handan City, Di Chen sighed regretfully.

It turned out that just when the Great Xia Praetorian Guards were majestic, Emperor Chen finally invited reinforcements, which were the forbidden troops from Qin and Tang.

The two countries promised that if the Great Xia Janissaries dared to attack Handan City, the forbidden armies of the two countries would immediately teleport to Handan City to fight a counter-encirclement of the Great Xia Forbidden Army and frustrate the spirit of Great Xia.

Among them, Qin Shi Huang was the most active.

Come to think of it, the last time Meng Yi and Meng Tian refused bluntly, it still made the first emperor of the ages feel very faceless, and decided to find a place on the battlefield in Handan.

As for worrying about the head-on conflict with Great Xia, the two emperors had already seen through it.

The situation in Huaxia has developed to this point, and regardless of whether Qin and Tang intervene in the Central Plains War or not, there is no room for relaxation between them and Great Xia.

One day, the two sides will meet on the battlefield.

In this case, what difference does it make if you are one day earlier and one day later.

What Di Chen and the others didn't expect was that the news of their conspiracy was detected by the secret agents of Shanhaiwei, which then aroused the vigilance of the Great Xia Praetorian Guard, and they did not approach Handan City at all, making the Six Nations Alliance miss the opportunity in vain.

"This favor is for nothing, what a bastard."

In order to invite reinforcements from Qin and Tang, Emperor Chen did not benefit much, and it took a lot of effort to persuade the two countries to officially intervene in the Central Plains War. I never thought that it would end up like this.

For the legendary Shanhaiwei, Emperor Chen was impressed for the first time.
