Chapter 113: Fighting the Heavenly Wolf (3)
Zhenxue Pass and Sky Wolf City are only a short distance of more than a hundred miles. Even if the official road is wide, it pulls the 300,000 army into a long straight line. So much so that when Bai Jin's forward troops could see Sky Wolf City, Qi Weng, who was in charge of the palace, had just stepped out of the gate of Zhenxue Pass.
The troops that attacked were all composed of the Lanzhou army, and the Xuanjia army, which had come all the way to support, was unexpectedly left in Zhenxue Pass by Bai Jin.
In fact, Bai Jin also had some thoughts, and the reason why he left the Xuanjia Army was because Qin Ming and the others kept knocking on the side, and he didn't think much about it and swept their face. Second, because Bai Jin is also afraid that Zhenxue Pass will be lost, if Changsun Liang really ascends to the top and shouts and occupies Zhenxue Pass, then his army, which is sandwiched between the two cities, is afraid that it will be destroyed overnight.
Even if he didn't think the Eldest Sun would rebel. Just in case, he still decided to leave enough forces to garrison Zhenxue Pass, which can be regarded as ensuring his retreat.
Anyway, the Xuanjia Army also needs to rest, so they simply keep them. At least in terms of not colluding with Changsun Liang, the Xuanjia Army is more trustworthy than any of the old Lanzhou troops.
Qin Ming generously left nearly 10,000 old and weak soldiers behind. And he himself personally led the well-equipped Lanzhou army to Sky Wolf City with Bai Jin.
He also shamelessly said that he was afraid that the Xuanjia soldiers would not be familiar with the situation in Zhenxue Pass, so he allocated the most elite descendants to help them stay in Zhenxue Pass. In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see that these veterans who specialize in logistics can't play any positive role except for continuing to deduct the grain and grass of the Xuanjia Army.
The military merits of this great war, he is bound to win. Stationed in Lanzhou for many years, he boasted that he was well versed in the combat power of the barbarians, and in his heart, although the barbarians were numerous, and the people were brave. However, there has always been a lack of experience in large wars, and a conflict of 100 people can still be used to gain an advantage by virtue of its flexible and mobile characteristics. Once they enter the scale of tens of thousands of people, they will definitely not be the opponent of the Lanzhou army with skilled formations.
Besides, this time there are 300,000 troops for his disposal, and even if the barbarians come, they are just a rabble, and they only need to charge with heavy horses to break the so-called wolf horses of the barbarians.
As for Heavenly Wolf City, Qin Ming even had some doubts that the city walls built by the barbarians would crumble and collapse when the soldiers attacked the city.
Bai Jin's vigor at this time was even better than Qin Ming's, in Apocalypse City, he was just a third highness who followed behind his eldest brother. Although the identity is noble, in the eyes of the real superior, it is just a dispensable chess piece.
But now he has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and when he stomps his feet, the entire northern border will tremble. This power is not far greater than that of his ancestors. You must know that when the Emperor of the Apocalypse raised his army, he was only Bai Jin's age.
Bai Jin is now constantly thinking about how far this conflict will end.
As we all know, he led his army to provoke the barbarians, and he fought under the guise of the Chiyang Sword Immortal to fight the barbarian monarch.
Although he has full confidence in Chiyang, it is rumored that the contemporary Maharaja Tie Mugan is also
A true heavenly master. Which of the two is stronger or weaker, Bai Jin is not very sure in his heart.
At that time, if the Chiyang Sword Immortal could not win, or if it was a miserable victory, it would not be difficult to achieve the goal of establishing prestige for himself.
Once you get there, then you need to fight a big battle with the barbarians, relying on the absolute crushing of military strength to boost your prestige in the north.
But in such a large-scale conflict between the two countries, there must always be a reason.
Thinking of this, Bai Jin glanced back at the formation team led by Qi Weng. In addition to the Lanzhou army, there were also seven or eight scattered teams, and the number of these teams was only nearly a thousand, and the few were only a few dozen. The clothes on their bodies are even more varied, without the slightest trace of overall planning, obviously they are all from different forces.
No one could have imagined that these people who were dressed up a little shabby were really barbarians. And these barbarians are the biggest reason to ensure that Bai Jin is justified in provoking conflict.
In fact, since the reign of the contemporary maharaja, the barbarians have strived for unity and eliminated estrangement. Although there are still tribes like the bears who like to prey on others, they are much more peaceful than before.
But in the past, vendettas and divisions between the various tribes of the barbarians were commonplace, and almost every month the tribes would be exterminated in the attack on each other.
The most direct result of a long-term struggle is that there is a winner and a loser. The victor is like the wolf clan, the bear clan, and the eagle clan, who have strengthened their own clan, obtained more resources, and have the capital to develop for a long time.
In addition to losing wealth and population, some will even lose the land left by their ancestors.
Most of them ended up joining other people's tribes, while a small number ended up in exile.
Great Yan has no interest in exterminating these lost dogs, on the contrary, in order to show benevolence, for such tribes, as long as they are willing to declare their allegiance to Great Yan, they will gain the right to reclaim barren mountains on the border. For thousands of years, it has been so.
Those who are in Bai Jin's team are the descendants of those people. Although they are down, some of them represent tribes that are even older than the three major tribes today. The grievances and grievances in it, if studied in detail, are enough to write a complete set of secret histories of the barbarians.
Bring these people along, and you can casually find a plausible past grudge. The so-called 'unreasonable and unforgiving!'. The barbarians under his jurisdiction want to settle accounts with the barbarians in Sky Wolf City, so it makes sense for him to help.
Bai Jin had even prepared a text, he planned to count the 'crimes' of the barbarians under the Heavenly Wolf City, and then launch a punitive attack on the Heavenly Wolf City on behalf of the Great Yan Emperor.
The 300,000 army doesn't need to have much success, as long as it grows big, so that the people of the entire Lanzhou have to see what a strong leader they are. In front of them, the barbarians will have only one way to go, surrendering.
And in order to prevent the barbarians from holding out, he brought out all the heavy talismans for the siege, once these guys are launched, it will be difficult on the walls of the Sky Wolf City
lest you leave a few large holes that are difficult to repair.....
As the Chiyang Sword Immortal who provoked this conflict, he seemed to be the most calm and free. For some reason, he wore a suede jacket that only barbarian nobles wore at celebrations, with ornate embroidery on the cuffs between the collars, and the shape looked like a group of winged flying beasts roaring at the sun.
Everyone thought that the reason why the Chiyang Sword Immortal was dressed like this was to provoke the barbarians, coupled with the respect of the people's identity, no one dared to raise objections.
In contrast to the gorgeous clothes, the face of the Chiyang Sword Immortal was somewhat monotonous. All the way to the march, he didn't say a word except for a few words when Bai Jin inquired. The corners of the eyes and eyebrows seem to be still, and they are bland and even make people feel a little palpitations.
Three days have passed since the young man of the bear clan broke through, and even if no one informs him, the barbarians in the entire Sky Wolf City know the news that Bai Jin's army has been launched.
After the trade, the Great Yan people who moved into Sky Wolf City have already left ninety percent one after another, and the vacated blocks have been directly converted into military camps. Because as more and more barbarians came to support, there was no longer a place to camp around Sky Wolf City.
In fact, there are many barbarians who have come to Sky Wolf City for the first time. The Great Snow Mountain is too vast, if it weren't for the leader saying that there was a war, I'm afraid these barbarian warriors would never have left their territory for the rest of their lives.
It's a pity that the Sky Wolf City they saw has long lost the diligence and simplicity of the past, but it is full of uneasiness and anxiety. This made them feel very complicated, both envious of the barbarian inhabitants of Sky Wolf City for having such a majestic city, and despise them for being weak while enjoying comfort.
As the 'Messenger of the Gods', Chu Ye was the only one in Heavenly Wolf City who could still move freely at this time. But in order to save unnecessary trouble, he still borrowed a black ghost bow robe from the Maharaja.
After the battle on the top of Chiyang Mountain came, Chu Ye immediately guessed who the other side of the battle was, although he didn't know why Lao Jiu risked his life to try to stop the Chiyang Sword Immortal. But as Lao Jiu said in the end, this is the choice he made in order to make up for the regret in his heart.
Perhaps rather than continuing to endure pain in the midst of old injuries, Lao Jiu hopes to die a heroic battle for the obsession in his heart.
At this time, Chu Ye was only alone, and Xiao Weiyu was originally with him, but early this morning, Dahesa sent someone to come and invite her away. Chu Ye looked at them sincerely and wanted to protect Xiao Weiyu, so he didn't refuse. After handing over the Aoxue Sword to Wei Yu, he let them leave.
He, on the other hand, has his own things to do. This impending conflict in the north will definitely be a fierce battle. Bai Jin, as one of the parties in the big battle, will definitely appear in front of the battle.
On the day her mother was taken captive, Bai Jin probably knew something. Chu Ye couldn't think of a better opportunity to get close to him than this. Now that he has the strength of the middle grade of the Xuan Rank, he has also learned several powerful exercises, as long as he fights with all his strength, he will not be able to do nothing
A chance to take Bai Jin in the midst of the chaos.
Therefore, after sending Xiao Weiyu away, Chu Ye disguised himself as a ghost archer and came to a hill outside the city.
I wanted to lurk in this place with a wide field of vision so that I could grasp the battlefield dynamics at any time, but unfortunately, when Chu Ye had just arrived here, he saw a familiar fat figure and hundreds of barbarian warriors following him.
Not wanting to be discovered, Chu Ye turned around and wanted to leave, but the fat man's eyesight was amazing, and he found him in an instant.
Hearing the sentence "Big brother, what's wrong with you!" Chu Ye finally resisted the urge not to beat people.
