Chapter 194: Demon Beast Corps
The camp of the army of Injin Fortress.
Zi Rui didn't know when she appeared beside Chu Jing and asked, "Your subordinates are really weak, why don't you take action personally, it should be easy to take down that general." ”
Chu Jing smiled and replied: "Of course it is easy to take down one person, even if it is not difficult to let Qin Jian kill him, but war, it is not a matter of one person, killing him, and other generals, it is impossible to kill him." ”
And he said, "Why don't you do it yourself? I just want to see my soldiers, who still need the tempering of war." ”
Zi Rui was thoughtful, in fact, she also knew that Chu Jing was afraid that the other party would be too anxious and fight to the death, so that her soldiers might suffer a lot of damage.
Now, what Chu Jing lacks most is soldiers, there are not many ordinary people in Renjin City, before the eldest prince attacked and did not start the war, many young and middle-aged people fled, and most of those who stayed were unable to take away their family property, greedy people, and lonely widows and children.
If you can't recruit many soldiers in Renjin City, then minimize the consumption of soldiers.
Anyway, after Tanya detonated the city wall, Yuanwang City was at her fingertips, so why worry.
After a while, Zhou Tai, Xu Sheng, and Le Jin came back to report.
The three of them knelt down in unison.
Zhou Taidao: "My lord, the strength of the three subordinates is unfavorable, and they have not been able to leave the other party's general, so that the other party has successfully withdrawn its troops." ”
Chu Jing waved his hand and said, "Don't blame yourself, you did a good job, now tell me about the damage to the army." ”
Zhou Tai immediately replied: "Thank you for the grace of the lord for not punishing, our armor is hard, except for a lot of armor that needs to be repaired, the number of casualties is less than three thousand." ”
Nearly 20,000 enemies were killed, but their own damage was less than 3,000, this battle loss ratio!
However, compared with the comparison between the foreign spear team and the Qing army, the gap is still one in the sky and one underground, and this is the case in close combat, because the armor is not flexible, and it is possible to die in the chaos if you fall from a horse, and it is difficult to be foolproof.
Chu Jing asked again: "Is there any news of Meng Shu?" ”
Zhou Taidao: "There is no news of General Meng yet. ”
......
When the army of Yuanwang City and the soldiers of Renjin City were fighting, Black Sheep City received a letter of help sent by the city lord of Yuanwang City.
The city lord of Black Sheep City spread out a map of the vicinity of Black Sheep City, observed it for a while, and said to himself in confusion: "Which direction is the army coming from? Giant Cloud City has rebelled? Or is it the Seven Princes? It can't be Renjin City, right?"
"Someone!"
A soldier guarding the gate came in: "What does the city lord command?"
"Go ahead, the head of the intelligence department called in. ”
"Yes. ”
After the soldiers retreated, an officer soon walked in.
"My lord, what's the matter with the next official?"
The city lord of Black Sheep City asked solemnly: "Can you send spies to investigate the pass built by the Seven Princes in the south every day?"
The officer said: "The subordinate sent people to investigate every day, and did not find any strange behavior. ”
"Didn't you?"
"Not really. ”
Seeing that the officer was so sure, the city lord of Black Sheep City was confused, could it really be that he came from Juyun City?
Repatriating the officers, the city lord of Black Sheep City thought for a while, whether it was from Juyun City or Renjin City, the number of people was definitely not large, and Yuanwang City would not be in danger for the time being.
But......
In the end, he decided to take his troops over to have a look, maybe this was an opportunity to make a contribution.
However, before the city lord of Black Sheep City walked out of the city lord's mansion, he received information from Yuanwang City.
"Is it Ren Jincheng? Chu Jing is crazy?"
The city lord of Black Sheep City only held the letter in his hand, then rode a fast horse and called to the soldiers behind him: "Quick, follow me to the barracks." ”
Soon, General Liu, who was left behind by the city lord of Black Sheep City and the eldest prince, poured out with 50,000 soldiers in the city.
Now that the matter is clear, it is not the decision of those who do great things to procrastinate, the city lord of Black Sheep City and General Liu hit it off, and immediately decided to dispatch all the horses and horses to cooperate with Yuanwang City, defeat Chu Jing in one fell swoop, and take the opportunity to take Renjin City.
And not only that, they also sent messengers, asking Juyun City to attack Renjin City, which was undefended, in advance.
It's just that the situation is really going so smoothly? Will Chu Jing suddenly become stupid?
At this time, Meng Huo had already been ambushed on the road between Yuanwang City and Black Sheep City, just waiting for Black Sheep City to send troops to aid Yuanwang City.
Encirclement and reinforcements, this tactic is simply too easy.
In fact, a big reason why Meng Huo chose to ambush was that the deterrent power of the Demon Beast Corps was too strong, and it was very likely to scare the two city lords, so that they only cowered in the high city and did not dare to come out to fight.
Chu Jing didn't have time to besiege the city, after all, the eldest prince could come to support at any time, so Chu Jing had to try to lure out the army of Black Sheep City, and Yuanwang City and relied on Tanya to directly blast open the city gate.
The technology of building city walls from the God Continent is too advanced, and because of the monsters, the vast majority of the people live in the city guarded by the high city walls, which makes the war extremely difficult, and most of them need to attack the city, and it is difficult to carry out the progress.
Fortunately, Chu Jing still has Tanya, otherwise facing the high city wall, it would be enough for him to have a headache.
Six or seven hundred blood wolves, hidden in the dense forests on both sides of the road, gave Meng Shu too little time, otherwise with the two magic medicines provided by Qin Yue, he would definitely be able to tame more demon beasts, but now there is only so little, which is much worse than the ideal.
The Black-backed White Bear, the Tanan Tiger, and the Savage Demon Bull Heavy Cavalry were further away, and they were too large to be as effective as the Blood Wolf Ambush.
Sure enough, the pathfinder scouts of Black Sheep City didn't care even if they found an ambushed blood wolf, and ran over directly.
This made Meng very happy, and it seemed that this ambush was more successful than expected.
Soon, the army of Black Sheep City galloped over, and the whole army concentrated on hurrying, without the slightest idea that they had entered the ambush circle of the demon beast.
"Woo......"
Meng Shu lowered his voice and sent out a long horn, which was a kind of horn city of demon beasts, and the sound of the blowing was also like that of the demon beast before it was alive.
"What is it?"
The city lord of Black Sheep City frowned and looked uneasy.
General Liu comforted: "This is a kind of demon beast, didn't the scout just report that he found the figure of a blood wolf? They may be preying." ”
The city lord of Black Sheep City nodded his head, feeling inexplicably uneasy in his heart.
"Brush ...... Brush...... Brush ......"
The grass on both sides of the road made a noise, and then one after another blood wolves sprang out, and they did not have the habit of saluting before the soldiers, they pounced on the soldiers, biting their throats, and before everyone could react, a large number of soldiers died at the mouth of the blood wolf.
"Damn, these blood wolves are preying on us!"
The city lord of Black Sheep City was shocked, most of the demon beast sieges only appeared in legends, and he had never seen a demon beast of this scale, six or seven hundred blood wolves rushed out together, even if it was a master who had experienced a hundred battles, he would be taken aback.
Although General Liu was also taken aback, after killing a blood wolf with one sword, he quickly calmed down, calmed down, and shouted: "Don't panic, these are just blood wolves, the weakest demon beasts, you can easily kill them." ”
General Liu is a master, so he can naturally kill a blood wolf very easily, but compared with the blood wolf of ordinary soldiers, the blood wolf of the demon beast is slightly more powerful, and the psychological quality of the soldier is definitely not as high as that of the general, which caused panic in an instant.
The soldiers cried and fled, not daring to use their swords to meet the blood wolf, because they knew that if they lost to the blood wolf, the fate that awaited them was to be eaten alive by the blood wolf, which was terrible.
There are 50,000 soldiers in Black Sheep City, and only a small part of the six or seven hundred blood wolves can attack, but the panic has a far-reaching impact, they don't know what is happening in front or behind, they only hear soldiers shouting loudly, as if the sky is falling.
The army was thrown into disarray.
But this chaos is only temporary, as long as General Liu kills a few more blood wolves and stabilizes the situation, the soldiers will soon be able to organize an effective counterattack.
It's a pity that after the blood wolf, there are still 10,000 troops of Meng Shu, as well as twenty-six black-backed white bears, fifteen Tanan tigers, and ninety-six fully armed barbarian demon cow knights.
In the middle of the long queue of Black Sheep City, the blood wolf suddenly attacked and caused chaos, while in the rear, the black-backed white bear and the Tanan tiger attacked at the same time.
Both the Black-backed White Bear and the Tanan Tiger have thick fur that ordinary swords can't hurt them at all, and unless they encounter a high-ranking soldier in the military, they can create even more chaos than a pack of blood wolves.
The Savage Demon Bull came from a long distance ahead with heavy steps, its attack method was even more weird and terrifying, the red eyes that emerged from the heavy armor, just a glance, the soldier suddenly turned into a stone statue, even if the strength was strong, it would not turn into a stone statue, and the clothes on the body could not escape the fate of petrification, and even the weapons were petrified.
At this time, the knight with a sledgehammer on the body of the wild demon bull will go up and give a hammer, no matter whether you are a stone statue or a flesh and blood body, under the sledgehammer, it is difficult to save your life.
There are barbarian demon bull knights in front, blood wolves, black-backed white bears and Tanan tigers in the back, and 10,000 soldiers to help, where have the soldiers of Black Sheep City seen this kind of scene, they collapsed directly, and they ran to the front of Meng Huo's army, threw down their weapons, and shouted loudly: "We surrender, don't let the demon beast eat me!"
Meng Shu was here, and immediately shouted loudly: "Surrender quickly, lay down your weapons, these demon beasts will not bite you again." ”
The shout worked, and more and more soldiers laid down their weapons, crawled down and surrendered, shivering with fear under the heavy snort of the blood wolf.
On the side of Black Sheep City, only General Liu, who had extremely high psychological quality, and the city lord of Black Sheep City, as well as their personal guards, were stubbornly resisting.
Fifteen Tanan tigers pounced one after another, the blood wolf was too weak for the master, but the Tanan tiger was strong enough.
The three-meter-tall Tanan Tiger roared into the battle.
Meng Shu also stepped forward to sweep the formation, and loudly persuaded: "Two, your men have surrendered, do you still have to resist stubbornly? Do you think you still have a chance?"
The 50,000 soldiers were frightened by a group of demon beasts and surrendered surrounded by 10,000 troops, which made General Liu and the city lord of Black Sheep City look ugly.
In fact, the city lord of Black Sheep City has long had the intention of surrendering, but General Liu's martial arts are strong, and if he surrenders too early, he is very likely to be killed by General Liu's dog jumping over the wall in a hurry.
General Liu is also loyal to the eldest prince, and has no intention of surrendering, the long sword in his hand roars, and he bravely fights with the Tanan tiger, grabs a gap, and cuts off a tiger's head with a sword.
"Hahaha, the little demon beast also wants to deal with me, I will kill you all today!"
The situation was irreparable, and General Liu was determined to live and die, and once again rushed to kill the Tanan Tiger.
This time, those Tanan tigers were frightened, General Liu's strength was extraordinary, and fifteen Tanan tigers dared to rush forward to fight with their numerical superiority, but now one of them was dead, which made them feel timid.
Of course, it was impossible for Meng Shu to watch the Tanan Tiger being killed, this was a rare demon beast with only fifteen, and the death of one was enough for him to feel distressed.
"Come on, give it to me, don't be stunned!"
Meng Shu held a big wooden stick, rode on the black-backed white bear, and rushed forward first, and the other soldiers also came forward to besiege with various weapons when they heard the order.
After General Liu was surrounded, the city lord of Black Sheep City, who was surrounded on the other side, immediately surrendered, but Meng Shu didn't have time to pay attention to him now.
"Another one to die!"
General Liu laughed, pointed his sword at Meng Huo, and said, "Can you control the demon beasts?" If I kill you, Your Majesty will have one less great enemy, and it will be worth my death." ”
After speaking, General Liu kicked under his feet, took off from his horse, and pointed a sword directly at Meng Huo's huge head.
Meng Shu is also not cowardly, when he grows so big, he has never been afraid of anyone, he has not served anyone, and he will not give up if he is not caught seven times in a row.
Meng Huo's large wooden stick was raised high, intending to resist the sword.
A sneer appeared at the corner of General Liu's mouth, he still uses a wooden stick these days, even if he knows how to control demon beasts, he is just a barbarian.
"Phew!"
The long sword pierced the big wooden stick, but it was difficult to penetrate a single bit, even if General Liu tried his best to bless it, the wooden stick did not have any cracks.
Although Meng Shu was not stabbed, he also had to bear the tremendous force of this sword, and his whole arm trembled, but he still opened his mouth and mocked: "Aren't you very powerful, come and kill me!"
The big wooden stick was made by Zirui from a branch of her body, it was extremely hard, Meng Shu originally wanted to engrave his name on it, so as not to be stolen, but he didn't expect to be unable to do it by all means, and now it is General Liu's turn to have no choice.
When General Liu and Meng were at a stalemate, Tananhu and other soldiers were not idle, and attacked one after another.
General Liu had to reflexively resist.
In the case of the death of another Tanan tiger, the serious injury of a Tanan tiger, and the casualties of more than 30 soldiers, General Liu was finally killed by the joint force, at this time there was no good meat on his body, and there were traces of tiger claws, tiger teeth and spears and swords everywhere.
Meng Shu also received a sword, but his skin was rough and thick, and he was not injured to the point, as if he was nothing.
The extremely tired Meng Shu sat on the ground, happy and distressed.
Happily, he took nearly 50,000 prisoners by himself, and he didn't even have to attack the city to get Black Sheep City.
It's those monsters that are distressed.
In this battle, the blood wolf that died the most, the blood wolf did not have a particularly strong defense, and it was easy to be killed by the soldiers, this time there were probably more than a hundred blood wolves killed, nearly half of which were killed by General Liu and the personal guards of the city lord of Black Sheep City.
Two Tanan tigers were also killed, one Tanan tiger was seriously injured, and two black-backed white bears were also killed by two masters in the army in the melee.
Although the wild demon cow was protected by heavy armor, one of them was still stoned to death by a soldier with a large stone, and three of them tripped and broke their feet, and they couldn't get up, and they were stabbed to death by the soldiers through the cracks in their armor.
Demon beasts are not omnipotent, otherwise they would not be driven out of the safe zone by humans.
Meng Huo was able to win a big victory this time, the most important thing was that he took the other party by surprise, and the soldiers of Black Sheep City lacked the determination to die for the eldest prince.
If everyone is like General Liu, putting their own life and death out of the way, Meng Shu may have the possibility of failure.
There are so many factors on the battlefield that the only conclusion that can be drawn is that it was won.
Meng Shu said to himself: "The lord said, if everything goes well, take Black Sheep City first, if it doesn't go well, rush back to gather, it should be smooth now, and you must report the battle situation here as soon as possible." ”
There was no cavalry under Meng Huo's hands, and generally horses and demon beasts lived together for a long time, and they would always be in low spirits, so Chu Jing canceled Meng Huo's cavalry regiment and let him use demon beasts to form a cavalry by himself, just like a heavily armed barbarian demon bull knight.
Therefore, Meng Shu sent several blood wolves, asked them to bring envelopes, and rushed to Chu Jing's camp as quickly as possible.
