Chapter 496: The Thirty Thousand Army Annihilated
Kill.
30,000 horses.
Ling Li was shocked.
Shuang Baisui said: "Zhang Ming, these 30,000 horses have been killed. The barbarian emperor can't be pressed in by a large army! Didn't you say it would drag on for time? ”
"Procrastination is procrastination." Zhang Ming said calmly: "But these 30,000 horses, although most of them are injured, as long as they are given time, in less than a month, at least 10,000 of them can continue to go to the battlefield." Do you want to have 10,000 more enemies in the next month or so? ”
A few people understood.
Xue Aofeng said decisively: "Order, open the city gate, and the whole army will set out." Kill! ”
Kill.
The families of the Snow Clan obeyed orders.
After the heads of each family gave an order, 50,000 horses rode out on giant deer and demon pets, and rushed towards the barbarians who were ready to retreat. The barbarians had already given the order to retreat, and at this time, the Snow Clan's army rushed out, and the barbarians had already lost their fighting spirit.
The barbarian soldiers who were carried were discarded, and the barbarian soldiers who could still walk desperately fled, while those barbarian soldiers who were only slightly injured and did not affect the battle could only flee without their lives when they saw the army behind them pressing in. For a time, 30,000 horses trampled on each other and fled in all directions, and no matter how much the commander of the army organized to resist the Snow army, it was in vain.
The snowfinches of the White Knife Gate fell one after another, and Zhang Ming drove the bronze sparrow to stop in front of the barbarians.
All night.
The barbarian tribe of 30,000 horses was slaughtered more than ninety percent.
The Snow Triumph wins.
But no one celebrated, and everyone knew that the battle had only just begun. There is still more than a month to go, and the barbarians will come with more men and horses, and there will be more tough battles to fight.
……
Of the 30,000 troops, less than 2,000 men and horses ran back.
Prince Cordo stood above the city gate, looking at the embarrassed group of barbarian deserters, his eyes full of anger.
It's only been a few days?
According to the original order, the two generals with 30,000 horses should find the two princes within five days and escort them back. However, after these six or seven days, Shuofeng City received no news at all, and knew that this morning, but two thousand deserters ran back.
Castle Lord's Mansion.
Prince Cordo stared at the squad leader in front of him and said in a cold voice, "Say." What the hell is going on? What about your Lordship? What about my army of thirty thousand? ”
"It's gone. It's all gone. The captain of the bull head squad gasped and said, "We have been attacking in the vast mountains for five days in a row. Every day the Snow Clan is defending to the death, and we see that we can break through the vast mountain, but every time we are resisted by the Snow Clan. In order to save the two highnesses as soon as possible, the two great commanders kept letting us attack the city. We attacked day by day, and every day we were wounded, and by the sixth day, almost all of our brothers were wounded. There was no way, the Grand Commander could only give the order to retreat. But...... But unexpectedly, we were about to withdraw our troops, and the Snow Clan rushed out. There are so many people, so many Snow Clan people rush out, the brothers are dead, and the two Grand Commanders are also dead. ”
The captain of the bull head squad said vaguely, but he could hear it.
Prince Cordo said angrily: "You said that my army of 30,000 was wiped out, and it was in the vast mountains!" ”
"Yes." The bull-headed team nodded straightforwardly and cried bitterly: "All dead." We were chased all the way, and those who could escape fled back. Those who did not flee were dead. ”
Prince Kordo's face was full of anger, and he pointed to the head of the ox and said, "Behead this cow for me, and I want his heart to stew and eat." ”
"Lord of the Castle. Spare your life. The bull cried out in terror.
Prince Cordo ignored it and looked angrily at the people below.
A deer-headed commander spoke: "Lord of the city, I have also asked about the people below. 30,000 people attacked the vast mountain for five days, but not only did they not break through, but they were also injured and disabled. Then, the Snow Clan army came out of the pass, and when the 30,000 troops withdrew, they were all repulsed. Here's how it happened, but there are many doubts about what happened here. ”
Doubt?
Prince Cordo said coldly, "What do you want to say?" ”
"Lord of the Castle." The Great Commander of the Deerhead spoke, "According to normal circumstances. With the strength of the Snow Clan, it can't resist our 30,000 army at all. However, the Snow Clan was able to resist for five days in a row, and left our army with countless wounds, and when the 30,000-strong army retreated, it dealt a fatal blow. And for some time, there was no news in our city. So, obviously, the Snow has everything planned. While consuming the strength of the 30,000-strong army, they also sent people to intercept and kill our scouts. These are all planned by them. ”
Kordo's eyes were slightly angry and said, "It's planned, so what?" Now that my army of 30,000 is gone, I don't care if he planned it or not, I must break through the vast mountain, find the two highnesses, and set foot on the Snow Clan. ”
Many of the great commanders present nodded in agreement.
The Great Commander of the Deer Head said urgently: "Lord of the City, you must not be impulsive. Judging from the last general, if you say a bad word, I am afraid that the two highnesses will no longer be there at this time. ”
Those present were shocked.
A wolf-headed commander said angrily: "Lu Qian, what are you talking about! How dare you curse that two highnesses are dead! ”
"You dare to speak disrespectfully to the two highnesses, Lu Qian, you don't want to live anymore?" The other Grand Commander also said angrily.
The Great Commander of the Deer Head hurriedly said: "Several, it's not that I'm disrespectful. Listen to me. The fact that the Snow Clan was able to send a large army to guard the Cangmu Mountain can only show that they want to take the Cangmu Mountain, so that the land of the Snow Clan will never be invaded by our barbarians again. You can look at the map, the vast mountain and the Tianshen Mountain are connected, and the poisonous fog on the Tianshen Mountain is perennial, and it only dissipates once in 20 years. It would have been at least two months' journey to spare these two mountains, and the nearest side was still barren. Therefore, the Snow Clan's occupation of the vast mountain is not accidental, but deliberate. Moreover, in order to occupy the vast mountains, the most important point is that there can be no army of our people on the hay plains. If the two princes, even if there are only three or five thousand people left, with the mobility of our wolf horse, the Snow Clan will not dare to garrison the army in the vast mountain at all, because once the fight starts, they will only suffer from the enemy. ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
The Great Commander of the Deer Head continued: "Therefore, if the Snow Clan dares to occupy the vast mountain and defend it with a large army, there is only one possibility, that is, there is no barbarian invasion in the Snow Clan's realm. They had no worries about the future, so they dared to set up camp in the vast mountains to resist our attack. ”
Many of the barbarian commanders were silent.
Prince Cordo frowned and said, "So, the two highnesses have been taken down by the Snow Clan?" Or even already dead? ”
"Yes." The Great Commander of the Deer Head nodded and said, "The Fourth Prince is in Winter City, and the news that has come back is that it has been besieged. The second prince went to the rescue and had already entered the Valley of the Wind. At present, the most likely thing is that the second prince was attacked in Qingfeng Valley and the whole army was wiped out. And the Winter City of the Four Princes has been breached. That's the most likely thing to happen right now. ”
The crowd pondered.
A fox man frowned lightly and said, "Impossible. ”
No way?
Everyone looked.
The fox man spoke: "According to the analysis of time. If what the Great Commander of the Deer said is true. That is to say, the 25,000 men and horses of the second and fourth princes were all destroyed in two days. Is it possible that 25,000 men and horses will be destroyed in two days? When did the Snow Clan have such strong combat power? I'm not saying that the Great Deer Commander's guess was wrong, but it is impossible for the Snow Clan to have such a strong combat power. Break through the city of 5,000 people, I believe, but can the 20,000 horses of the second prince really be killed in two days? ”
Everyone was stunned.
Several people hurriedly shook their heads and said, "Impossible." His Royal Highness the Second Prince, there are only six masters of the Distraction Realm around him, an army of 20,000, more than half of which are elites, and their strength is above the Yuanying Realm, how can they be destroyed in two days, this is absolutely impossible. ”
The Great Commander of the Deer Head said in a deep voice: "There is no impossibility. Have you forgotten how our army of 30,000 was destroyed? In one night, I saw that there were 30,000 troops, and less than 2,000 people were recovered. The army of 30,000 was gone overnight, and the army of 20,000 of the second prince and two days was a long time? ”
Everyone was stunned.
The fox man opened his mouth slightly, and wanted to say something.
Prince Cordo slapped the table and said coldly, "That's enough." It's not impossible now. I now want you to straighten out all the soldiers and horses, no matter whether the two princes are alive or not, I will break through the vast mountain. ”
"City Lord." The deer-headed commander stood up and said hurriedly, "It's time for our army to set off. However, while setting off, it is best for the lord of the castle to ask for the support of the barbarian emperor. The Snow Clan occupied the vast mountains and defeated 30,000 of us in one night, so there will be no shortage of numbers. Moreover, after more than a month, the vast mountain will be covered with heavy snow. At that time, if we can't take the Vast Mountain, then the Snow Clan will have at least four months of buffer time, and if we want to take the Vast Mountain again, then there will be no chance. ”
