Chapter 55: Lust Makes Trouble
At the end of 182 AD, after more than a year of fighting in the north and south, Xiao Ying came to the famous NPC city of the Xiongnu - near Irkutsk, a city very north of the Xiongnu king's capital Shan Yuting, which can be regarded as a deep behind enemy lines. After more than a year of campaigning, Xiao Ying's current army is about 35,000, of which there are nearly 15,000 Xuanjia Tiger Guards left, about 10,000 cavalry originally recruited, and the others are all captured and surrendered for more than a year, but the original 20,005 troops are all the elite of the elite, including about 500 Praetorian Guards, about 3,500 pro-guards, and nearly 8,000 guards.
As the saying goes, each other is born from the heart, although there is no change in appearance, but Xiao Ying, Gongsun Yue, Du Cheng and Qiao Rui's temperament has undergone earth-shattering changes, standing quietly like a sharp blade, and truly has the unique iron-blooded temperament of a soldier. In particular, Gongsun Yue is even more heroic and hearty, rich and charming. Another important gain is that Du Cheng and Qiao Rui already have the ability to command independently. I don't know if it's because NPCs are upgraded faster, when players are generally around level 45 now, Xiao Ying is now level 54, while Du Cheng is level 72, Qiao Rui is level 63, although it is not very high, but it is still possible to command an army of about 20,000, plus the current cavalry army has been promoted to many low-level generals, and it is still okay to carry out large-scale war layout.
"It's almost time for us to turn back to the Central Plains, all along, we have avoided the city of the royal court (Xiongnu court, official), so as not to suffer too many casualties, and also to avoid the Xiongnu trying to encircle and suppress us, my idea is to try to attack the city before leaving, whether it can be attacked or not, we will quickly return to the Central Plains! What do you mean? During the small meeting of the four, Xiao Ying finally put forward the idea in his heart, attacking NPC City has always been his deep thought, and he feels very unwilling not to get a vote before leaving, although in doing so, half of this army may have to stay on the prairie forever, but the idea of harvesting NPC City and fighting aliens still makes him want to stop. Although now the Xiongnu royal court also has the task of issuing a wanted horse commandment evil shadow, but after all, they only regard the evil shadow as a horse commandment, if you really focus on it, when you release a large-scale task to encircle and suppress, it will not be as easy as it is now, and it is difficult to say whether you can return to the Central Plains!
"It's naturally good to be able to attack, but will the loss be too great? After all, it is not easy for our army to train either! Du Cheng pondered and took the lead in expressing his position, seeing that his attitude was not very appropriatory. But after all, Xiao Ying is the lord, and it is useless for them to oppose what he decides, so they can only try their best to help the lord complete the task is their primary consideration.
In the end, Xiao Ying still couldn't resist the idea of deeply attacking NPC City, and the four of them discussed it, and finally decided on the most feasible plan and went on their own missions.
A day later, Xiao Ying stood straight on the high mountain near the giant city of Irkutsk (don't tell me that there are no mountains in the grassland, and almost all cities are close to the mountains and water), looking at the giant city in the distance, his brows furrowed, and he was silent. Next to it is Gongsun Yue, who is tenderly snuggling, although she has lived a continuous iron-blooded battle life for more than a year, the relationship between Xiao Ying and Gongsun Yue has improved a lot, and Gongsun Yue has become more dependent and gentle, and has not lost the gentleness and virtue unique to ancient female surnames because of long-term battles.
At this time, Du Cheng and Qiao Rui were nowhere to be found, and the 15,000 Xuanjia Tiger Guards of Xiao Ying and the 1,500 personal guards of Gongsun Yue who were hiding on the high mountain, and the others all followed Du Cheng and Qiao Rui to fight on the other side, this time it was more like a desperate gamble, with the most elite army to surprise Irkutsk, no matter what the result, immediately and quickly evacuated.
"I don't know how General Du and General Qiao are now, it's been a long time, and the army in the city doesn't seem to have made any big moves!" Gongsun Yue said worriedly, her brows furrowed, and she seemed to be talking to herself, in fact, Gongsun Yue did not approve of this plan to attack the Irkutsk Giant City, after all, those armies were also living people in her eyes, unlike in Xiao Ying's eyes, those armies were still NPCs in their bones, and they could only be regarded as a bunch of data, although they had been with those armies for more than a year and had deep feelings, but after all, they were not like Gongsun Yue's family-like feeling, nor were they like Du Cheng and Qiao Rui's brothers-in-arms, and they could be recruited again when they died. It's just that I have to re-recruit, and I don't have as much combat power as I do now. It can be said that Xiao Ying is still relatively ruthless in his bones.
"Don't worry, it's not so fast, it will take a while to gather the army! Not to mention, it will take time for the news to arrive! Xiao Ying responded lightly as if he didn't care, in fact, he was more anxious than anyone else, and he couldn't express his current mood if he was so anxious, his heart was like pressing a stone, he didn't vomit or feel unhappy, and his body felt a little weak. After all, 15,000 troops can't hide in the mountains for a long time, not to mention that he is also worried about whether Du Cheng and Qiao Rui will be able to lure out Irkutsk's army, after all, they only have more than 20,000 troops, although they are all elite, but in terms of quantity, they are really a bit unsuitable.
"Yes! But I'm still worried about them, the situation has become more and more severe recently, and it is a bit difficult to gallop freely, not to mention attracting a large number of troops! Gongsun Yue sighed secretly and said worriedly.
"Don't think about it! Du Cheng and Qiao Rui have followed us countless times, you don't know their abilities, the most important thing for us now is to rest well, how to better complete our own tasks is the primary problem! Xiao Ying said lightly, hugging Gongsun Yue and turning around and walking towards the deep forest. The words are good, but if Du Cheng and Qiao Rui can't complete the task, Xiao Ying and Gongsun Yue will have to run away in disgrace, and this task is one ring after another. Although Xiao Ying also knew that it was really reluctant to lure out the army of Irkutsk City with Du Cheng and Qiao Rui's 20,005 troops alone, he was always unwilling not to try.
What Xiao Ying didn't know was that in a small city hundreds of miles from the city of Irkutsk, fierce and brutal battles were going on all along. A thick bloody aura enveloped the small city, as if it was about to devour it, and the outside of the city was densely covered with corpses, civilians, players, troops, almost everyone, and the 20,000 troops led by Du Cheng and Qiao Rui were almost all covered in blood, and a tired but determined look appeared on their faces at the same time.
It's been almost a day, Du Cheng and Qiao Rui led an army of 20,000 like mules grinding, constantly circling around the small city, and a little away from the small city, like loyal patrols, but they should be regarded as predators, all the creatures seen outside the city, regardless of men, women and children, civilian armies, all encountered were slaughtered and crushed with lightning speed. The walls of the small city are covered with all kinds of troops with bows and crossbows, but the arrogant army outside the city has been hovering outside the range of bows and crossbows, and they are visible to the naked eye, watching their compatriots fall under the iron hooves, slaughtered and then crushed......
His red eyes are like beasts that choose people to eat......
Finally, the gates of the city, which were not very tall, slowly opened, and countless cavalry poured out like a tidal wave, and the sharp weapons shot back with blood-colored light......
Night is falling!
The blood-colored remnant sun, human life is like grass! Where should we go......;
