Chapter 571: Thousands of Lives Testing
Boom!
In the big tent, Wan Yan, whose skin was as red as containing explosive flames, slammed the table in front of him with a slap, and his hair stood up, which really responded to the sentence "angry hair rushed to the crown".
In the first battle during the day, the overall losses of the Crazy Dragon Army and the Sand Demon Army were not large, and they only lost four or five thousand people in total, they originally had almost more than 30,000 people, but now the number has only been reduced to more than 25,000, at least in the face of the literary and artistic army, there is still a fighting power.
However, the problem is that all the golden soldiers who were submerged by the flood with countless electric rays under the city not only had their armor shattered by the thunder, but even their bodies had suffered the double blow of the flood impact and the thunder electric shock, although the injuries were not too serious, but at least for a short time, it was difficult for them to recover their combat strength.
A long-planned flood not only prevented Wanyan Kang's offensive this time, but also greatly delayed the efficiency of Wanyan Kang's siege, and in the case of only ordinary doctors, it would take at least three or four days for those golden soldiers to recover.
In addition to these golden soldiers who were paralyzed by electric shocks, there were only four or five thousand sand demon soldiers left under Wanyan Dare's command, and with such a small number, let alone attacking the inner city, even if they wanted to defend the city wall, it was very hanging.
What's more, Wan Yan dared to raise his head and looked in the direction of the inner city with great shame, just now, the two Six Realms under his command with more than a thousand sand demon soldiers wanted to test the defense of the inner city, but they crashed into the feng shui maze arranged by Zou Buyi in advance, and were broken by Cai Xudong and others one by one, and all of them were captured.
Taking a deep breath, Wan Yan dared to look at the remaining four Six Realms in the tent, and sighed: "Let's rest well first, recover our combat strength as soon as possible, and then we will think of attacking the inner city." β
With a sneer, Wan Yan dared to turn his head to look at the east, his eyes flashing with a smug light: "Since the outer city has been taken by us, then the inner city is not far away, not to mention, the prince is ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a hurried report from outside the tent suddenly came from far and near, and with an uproar, a scout carrying seven golden order flags rushed into the tent, knelt down on one knee, and said hurriedly: "General, it's not good! The literary and artistic armies of Luqu and Diebu sent troops to attack the hinterland of our country a few days ago, and the three cities of Lintan, Zhangxian, and Minxian have been broken one after another, and Wushan is now in danger. β
"What?" Wan Yan dared to hear this, his face changed greatly, and his heart was even more angry, he never expected that the literary and artistic army of Luqu and Diebu did not come to reinforce Zhouqu, but brazenly entered the hinterland of Gansu Dao.
At the beginning, Emperor Wanyan led his army south, and hundreds of Black Lotus Sect Spirit Masters were killed along the way, and almost all the Black Lotus Spirit Masters in Wushan, Zhangxian, Dingxi and other places between Lanzhou and Lixian County lost their combat power.
And in order to meet the Song Dynasty and Wenbang, Wanyan first transferred the elite of the cities in Gansu Province, making the cities extremely empty, with the combat power of the Thunder God Army and the Rock Tiger Army, if you want to break through these cities, you don't need to spend too much price.
Seeing that Yan Dang's face turned pale, the scout hesitated slightly, took out another edict, and hesitated: "General, this is Your Majesty's handwritten letter, and the general is ordered to immediately deal with the thieves who invaded the hinterland of our court, and there must be no mistake." β
After receiving this handwritten letter, Wanyan dared to look gloomy as water.
He couldn't have imagined that the literary and artistic armies of Diebu and Luqu would ignore the lives of the friendly troops here, and all of them entered the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.
Of course, although this approach is tantamount to completely abandoning Zhouqu City, Wanyan dare to say that the approach of this group of people is simply choking their own vital point.
Let's continue to attack Zhouqu City, Wan Yan Dare is really not sure that he will be able to break Zou Buyi's spirit array in a short period of time.
But just retreat like this, Wanyan Dare has completely lost its meaning in attacking these days, regardless of losses.
The steel teeth were clenched, Wan Yan dared to pace back and forth a few times with his hands behind his back, and suddenly his steps paused, and he said coldly: "Order the whole army, immediately pull out, and the whole army retreats!"
"General!" Hearing his order, several of the Six Realms exclaimed.
As soon as he raised his hand to stop everyone, Wan Yan dared to grit his teeth and said: "Needless to say, the inner city of this Zhouqu is shrouded in formations, and it is extremely difficult to break through in a short period of time. β
"In addition," he raised his head, and a murderous cold light flashed in the corners of Wan Yanda's eyes, and he sneered, "Send someone to the inner city to send a message to them and tell them that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince led a large army to attack Minzhou eight days ago, and if you calculate the time, the fortress of Minzhou has almost been broken." β
*ββ*ββ*ββ*
In an oasis more than ten miles west of Wushan City, there are thousands of cavalrymen with thunder and lightning patterns engraved with their whole body armor, some of them sit on the ground to eat, and some take buckets of lake water and carefully wash their horses.
In the crowd, Yang Renjie put his hands behind his back and looked to the south with a solemn face, Xiang Beibei stood behind him, reaching out to put his hand on his shoulder.
After receiving the news from Fu Feng, Yang Renjie, like Fu Feng, initially planned to rush to Zhouqu City for reinforcements immediately, but this decision was quickly stopped by Song Kai.
His reason is close to Wu Xue, even though Xi Chulei is extremely fast, but to rush from Luqu all the way to Zhouqu, not to mention the time it takes, it also consumes great horsepower, even if he arrives in time, I am afraid that he will not have the strength to fight.
Since Wan Yan dared to besiege Zhouqu City with an army of 80,000, since it was useless to go over, the best way was to encircle Wei and save Zhao, and use Yang Renjie's unparalleled talent in cavalry and the powerful combat power of Xi Chu Lei Cavalry to directly enter the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom, and there was no need to occupy the city, directly burn and loot, forcing Wan Yan Dare to retreat.
If it was an ordinary time, Song Kai's strategy would naturally not be of much use, anyway, Yang Renjie and the others would not dare to attack Lanzhou City, which had the Eight Realms in charge, and the rest of the cities also had masters, even if the Thunder God Army could break through one or two cities, it would be enough for them to have no spare strength to deal with other cities.
But now is different from the past, in order to deal with the Song army, the garrisons in Dingxi and other places have almost been withdrawn, where can the weak defensive force stop the unparalleled Thunder God Army, not to mention Yang Renjie, Xiang Beibei, Song Kai, the three six realms joined forces, even if it is a cavalry siege, it is enough to conquer all the battles.
In eight days, the Mandarin Duck Army, the Beast God Army, and the Red Shirt Army stationed in Zhouqu City suffered heavy losses, but the Thunder God Army broke through three cities, and the number of golden soldiers killed was several times the loss of the Literary and Art Army.
In a corner of the oasis, Song Kai sat cross-legged, at this moment, the death spirit rhyme that swirled around his body was a thick pale mist that almost turned into substance, and every time he breathed, the death spirit rhyme would unconsciously overflow a few points, and the terrifying death power infiltrated everything around him, turning it into powder.
*ββ*ββ*ββ*
Late at night, Minxian County Ya.
Under the orders of Wu Xue and Fu Feng, a soldier of the Mingyan Tiger Army took off his heavy and thick armor one after another, and replaced it with leather armor that was countless times lighter than that was hidden in the city and produced by the Jin Kingdom.
At this time, a large number of war horses had already been brought over, Wu Xue snapped his fingers, and everyone in the Yanhu Army, who had changed into new equipment, turned over their horses one after another, and then under the leadership of a smiling and flattering Jin man, they quickly rode out of the city and galloped towards Lixian County in the east.
*ββ*ββ*ββ*
After confirming that Wan Yan Dang had indeed led the army away, the south gate of Zhouqu City suddenly opened, and more than 5,000 soldiers of the Beast God Army who survived the battle rode huge green wolves, and under the blessing of the wind that surged out of the void silently and silently, they galloped towards the east like a violent wind.
Among the wolves, Xu Xuanrong, Cai Xudong, Jiang Taiheng, Pu Jianzi, Zhao Ji, Shi Chuan, and Li Yimeng sat on the back of a giant wolf, with extremely solemn expressions.
After knowing that Yan Diyi would divide his troops to attack the Minzhou fortress, everyone was surprised, they had all heard that Yan Diyi was powerful, and Cai Xudong had personally fought with him, which was a terrifying enemy that even Yao Ruoyu and Zhang Ziqiang were invincible to.
With this kind of character leading the team, just with Fu Chaozan and Ren Jiasheng, even if they can hold the Minzhou fortress, they are afraid that it is already close to the limit, so they don't dare to hesitate at all, the red-shirted army stayed in Zhouqu City, Xu Xuanrong and others set off first with the beast god army, and Yu Jieyi led the mandarin duck swordsmen to follow.
*ββ*ββ*ββ*
Minzhou Fortress.
Countless hellbladers with countless demon patterns painted on their faces were arranged in neat military formations, and on the temporary high platform in the depths of the army, Emperor Wanyan, who was wearing a golden python robe, stood with his hands down, and the two feathers on the golden crown of his hair stood high, and the Tsar's halberd turned into a phantom and suspended behind him, and the strong and domineering Hell halberd soul rushed to the heavens and the earth, almost dyeing the sky to the color of hell.
Pursing his lips, Emperor Wanyan looked a little impatient, and after eight days of attacking day and night, he failed to capture this fortress that originally belonged to Dajin.
In fact, every time he was about to break through the defensive lines on the walls, the literary army would launch a new weapon to crush his own offensive.
For the first time, it was the tens of thousands of sand soldiers he summoned to forcibly attack the city, and when he was about to force all the literary and artistic troops off the city wall, a wide and tall tower shield suddenly appeared on the city.
This kind of shield is extremely tall, at least two or three people can only move it together, the shield is engraved with countless runes and spiritual patterns, and it has the effect of disturbing the true qi and spiritual energy, and the attack of tens of thousands of sand soldiers of Emperor Wanyan fell on the tower shield without any effect, but they pushed the tower shield to squeeze all the sand soldiers off the city wall.
How could the arrogant Wanyan Emperor Yi be willing to admit that his sand soldiers were restrained, and launched three attacks in a row, but each time, the fierce sand soldiers stopped in front of the tower shield, and they couldn't invade the city wall for half a minute.
The second time, under the cover of tens of thousands of sand soldiers, three thousand hellbladers led by two Six Realms rushed towards the city wall, and when they saw that they were about to approach the city wall, suddenly the ground under their feet exploded, black smoke billowed out like a mushroom cloud, and the violent and dense explosion killed more than a thousand hellbladers.
There were no spiritual energy fluctuations, no true qi agitation, and there was no warning at all, and the ground under their feet exploded directly.
Inexplicably, Emperor Wanyan didn't believe in evil, and after recalling the defeated soldiers, he personally led two thousand hell blademen to kill the city wall, but not long after he came out of the battle, the ground under him exploded directly, if he hadn't been prepared, the first time the true qi was released to suppress the explosion, I am afraid that most of the two thousand blademen he brought out would also be killed and injured.
After tossing for more than a day, Emperor Wanyan finally found a few clues, ordered people to dig up most of the ground of the battlefield, and finally found a large number of spirit runes engraved with the fire explosion spirit method underground, but before they could tear off the silk threads connected to the city on the spirit runes, Fu Chaozan and others detonated these spirit runes for the first time, and as a result, they killed more than a thousand hell bladers.
The third time, he finally dealt with all the Flame Burst Spirit Runes, and Emperor Wanyan immediately summoned tens of thousands of sand soldiers, covering thousands of Hell Bladers to kill the city wall.
This time, the literary army actually seemed to accept their fate, and did not use any more means, but when the hellbladers forcibly attached themselves to the city wall and climbed up with the sharp blades on their hands and feet, one by one cylindrical iron bars with countless sharp teeth were thrown down from the city wall.
These iron bars are engraved with dense rune spirit patterns, and they have just been thrown, and they have spontaneously attracted the wind spiritual energy around them, causing the entire iron bar to rotate wildly, so that the sharp teeth on its surface are like countless crazy cutting blades.
Hundreds of crazy spinning and cutting iron bars rolled down the city wall one after another, and for a while, the entire fortress wall could be described as a river of blood, I don't know how many hellbladers were torn apart by the sharp teeth on the iron bars, and many more were pierced by the sharp teeth and rolled down with the iron bars.
Fourth ......
Fifth ......
Sixth ......
Dozens of novelty inventions that have never been seen in this era have completely collapsed every offensive of Emperor Wanyan, even if Emperor Wanyan is the first on the splendid list, and his conceit military talent is not inferior to the world, but in the face of these unheard of ordnance, he is still beaten and embarrassed.
In every encounter, if it weren't for the tens of thousands of sand soldiers he summoned to block many attacks, I am afraid that the ten thousand hellblades under the command of Emperor Wanyan would have all been killed.
"Still too naΓ―ve?"
Squinting his eyes, Emperor Wanyan looked back on the achievements of these days, Rao is pure heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, and muttered: "It seems that I have to work harder in the academic work of the soldiers! It's just a Minzhou fortress, two unknown young generals, can stop me for so long, if I change those prestigious strong generals, will I be beaten into?"
Disgusted by the word "", Emperor Wanyan frowned, then shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, the test is almost over, my attainments in the art of war are still a little weaker, let's break the city first!"
Before the words fell, the Tsar's Halberd behind him suddenly turned from virtual to real, and at the same time, the Hell Halberd Soul that was originally gathered in a few zhang around his body suddenly exploded, and in an instant, countless evil ghosts roared and the wails of the dead souls resounded through the heavens and the earth, which made the faces of the people in the city change greatly.
In the eight-day battle, he did not hesitate to lose four or five thousand hell blademen of the prefecture-level troops, but it turned out to be just Emperor Wanyan in order to verify the art of war he had learned over the years.
At this moment, when Emperor Wan Yan was holding the Tsar's halberd in one hand and was about to make a personal move, it may also symbolize that the Minzhou Fortress, which had lasted for eight days, was about to fall completely.
