Chapter 220: Confrontation across the river

Closer to find that there are a lot of guards on the city wall, see that the armor is indeed the soldiers of the Qinglong Kingdom, but from the gap in the armor, poke out a little animal hair, it should be lined leather armor, after the Qinglong Army found the black dragon, did not prepare for war, but are all on the spear, kneeling on one knee, maybe they know that the black dragon is the mount of the third princess, thinking that His Royal Highness came to guide.

The black dragon flew over the city wall, landed in a clearing in the city, buffered two steps forward, and lay on the ground.

The Soul Chasing Whip was automatically released, and the lynx and I slid to the ground along the dragon's back, and a group of soldiers of the Green Dragon Army ran in the distance, led by a big man.

This dragon is the best proof of identity, I don't need to report to my home, the other party directly to me to pay homage, after I explained the intention, the Han officer gave me a wry smile: "Honorable envoy, I'm afraid you have to run in vain." ”

"Oh? Why? I asked, with my hands behind my back and a frown.

"Listen." The Han officer pointed to the north.

I listened closely, and I could faintly hear a rumbling sound, like thunder......

"At war?" I asked.

Dahan nodded: "The battle is fierce, our brothers-"

He pointed back and continued, "-I only replaced it last night, and I suffered heavy casualties. ”

I looked at the Qinglong soldiers behind him, the ones who trotted over were naturally not dead or wounded, but I could also see from my mental outlook that they were all tired.

"Where is your supreme military chief?" I asked.

"On the front line."

"Prepare the horse and take me to him." I say.

"Yes, Honorable Envoy!"

I turned around and looked up at the black dragon, "Hey, go back, thank you." ”

The big black dragon pursed his lips, whined, leaned down again, licked the lynx again, and then took off and went straight into the sky.

"It seems to like you." I tease the lynx.

"Hee-hee, I like it too." The lynx laughed.

"Then when it cultivates to adulthood, how about I marry you to it?" I'm kidding.

The lynx frowned: "Master, it's a mother's. ”

"Really?" I looked up, but I could still see clearly, the black dragon had become a black spot, but in retrospect, it seems that I really didn't see the black dragon's Jiji, if it was a male, according to the same proportion, it should be a big one.

The demon evolved into a human, I think it's very strange, no matter how big the animal form is, after becoming a human, it is about the same size as an adult, a lynx, a tiger, a dog, and even a big snake into a sperm, and it is very easy to explain that it becomes a human being of the same volume, a wasp becomes a sperm, an elephant becomes a sperm, this three-story dragon becomes a sperm, but it also becomes the size of a normal person, it is a little inexplicable, very unscientific, which also reflects from the side, the limitations of human science.

The officer ordered three horses to be brought in, mounted on them, and he led us through the town, through the north gate, and galloped to the front line.

The Qinglong army was very fast, and after five minutes, the flames of war burned into our sight, and the Qinglong army seemed to be on the defensive side, defending along the river, with only a line of loose stones piled up, from east to west, lined up on the shore, and there was no vertical defense.

I counted, cavalry, infantry, artillery, archers, can add up to two or three thousand people, and on the other side of the river, are all soldiers wearing silver armor, it should be the Xuanwu army, the terrain over there, mainly mountainous, there are several hills, they rely on the favorable terrain, condescending, are bombarding the position of the Qinglong Army with artillery fire, pressing the artillery and archers on this side, huddled behind the stone bunker, most of the time can not raise their heads.

With the help of fire support, the Xuanwu army organized a swimming crossing on the shore, and about three or four hundred people had already boarded the boat and were heading towards this side, but fortunately, the river was very wide, about 500 meters, and the river was relatively turbulent, and their raft was improvised, and the speed of progress was not fast, and it would not be able to pass for a while and a half.

I was about to speed up when the officer rode my horse and stopped me: "Honorable Envoy, further on, you will be within range of the enemy's artillery, for your safety, please change your clothes with the lowly." ”

The armor was still draped over the lynx, and I was wearing a jacket, which was really eye-catching, so I stopped, and the three of them came behind a big rock, and the officer took off his built-in fur armor and put it on for me, and I put on my helmet, and came out again, and ran to the rear of the Blue Dragon Army position in a low-key manner.

On the other side of the river was mountainous, but on this side it was a plain, and the abrupt two horses (the officers did not come) still attracted the attention of the Xuanwu artillery on the opposite bank, who raised the muzzle of the guns and began to shoot at us, and it was still more difficult for the artillery to hit a single cavalry in motion, and at a distance of two kilometers, I was shot three times, and none of them hit.

However, one of the shells fell on the side of me and the lynx, about fifteen meters away, and exploded on the ground, blowing a crater out of the ground, I clearly felt a strong shock wave, before in the battle of White Horse City, I was bombarded by the artillery of the Blue Dragon Army, and the power of the two was not at the same level at all, and the shock wave was like a spring breeze.

It seems that the Xuanwu Kingdom has studied and understood the Type 94 Island Country Mountain Cannon, copied it, and sent it to the front line to participate in the war, which is very efficient.

After running to the stone wall position, I turned over and dismounted, and got behind the bunker to hide, because the artillery fire here was much more intense, and one of them, who looked like an officer, bent over and looked at me suspiciously: "Who are you?" ”

"The envoy of the third princess." I pulled out the letter of the third princess, and there was her big seal on the cover.

"Ah, Honorable Envoy!" The visitor fell to one knee.

"Excuse me, who's the supreme commander here?" I asked.

"Wait a moment, I'll call General Qin over."

"No, you can take me there." I'm afraid that the commander is in command and can't pull away.

The officer took me and the lynx eastward along the stone bunker, and after a hundred meters or so, I saw a stone wall that was noticeably thicker, and the archers in the wall were all taking time to release arrows into the river, and there was only a small man with a cloak in his hands, huddled behind the bunker, shivering.

The officer ran over and patted the shoulder of the little cloak: "General Qin, the envoy of the third princess is here." ”

Nima, this is General Qin? How can you be so cowardly as a mouse?

General Qin put down his hand and raised his head, but he was a good-looking girl with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looking only sixteen or seventeen years old, I was going to teach her a lesson, but I thought about it or forget it, the girl went to the battlefield, it was difficult for her, I looked left and right, and found that the real exercise of command was a bearded man with a sword, he was not afraid of the artillery fire of the Xuanwu army, standing facing the river, commanding artillery and archers, and intercepting the Xuanwu troops who were crossing the river.

"See the Honorable Envoy!" General Qin said coquettishly.

"Get up, who is that man?" I asked, pointing to my beard.

"It's a lowly lieutenant general, General Niu Zilong."

I nodded and walked to the bearded side, and Miss Qin had to follow me out, hide behind me, and go over together to pull Niu Zilong back to cover from the front of the position.

"What are you pulling me for? Who are you? Niu Zilong was very dissatisfied, and blew his beard at me and glared.

"This is the envoy of the third princess, uh......" Miss Qin look at me.

"Chen Yang." I stretched out my right hand to Niu Zilong, and he looked at my hand in confusion.

I retracted in embarrassment, forgetting that they didn't shake hands in the demon world.

"See the Envoy." Niu Zilong gave up.

"Can you hold this wave?" I asked directly, I had to take advantage of the truce between the two sides before I could go over to negotiate.

Niu Zilong's face was embarrassed, he looked at the raft that was approaching on the river, and then looked at the remnants of his own position: "Honorable envoy, you have also seen that our number is too small, and it has been resisted for a day and a night, and on the side of the Xuanwu army, two thousand reinforcements came an hour ago, this wave may be ......."

"Then withdraw, don't let the brothers die in vain." I say.

I don't care about the gains or losses of a position, or even a city, I just want a truce, and I have to go over and negotiate.

"Withdraw?" Niu Zilong's eyes widened, and then, he narrowed his eyes again, and looked at my battle armor, "You said that you are the envoy of the third princess, do you have a token?" ”

"You dare to doubt the deity?" I crossed my hips and glared at him.

The officer who led the way before hurried over: "General Niu, he has a handwritten letter from the third princess." ”

Niu Zilong believed it, but his eyes rolled again: "Venerable envoy, if you command it properly, this wave can still be pushed back, just -"

"Just a few brothers to death so that you can complete your feats?" I interrupted him, "Stop talking nonsense, pass my order, and the whole army will return to the city!" ”

"All withdrawn?"

"All withdraw, you stay," I pointed to Miss Qin, "follow me to the Xuanwu Kingdom to negotiate." ”

You have to have a representative of the military, and the negotiations will be like that.

Niu Zilong wanted to say something, but Miss Qin gave him a look: "Tsk, don't say it, Brother Zilong, carry out the order." ”

Niu Zilong reluctantly ordered: "Withdraw!" ”

Soon, the whole army began to retreat backwards, although on the way to retreat, it was hit by the artillery fire of the Xuanwu Army, but because the action was sudden and rapid, it did not cause many casualties.

When I was out of the enemy's vitality range, I saw Niu Zilong regroup his team on the plain and stopped, as if he wanted to counterattack at any time.

"You ride over and tell Niu Zilong that if he dares to disobey again and refuses to return to the city, I will cut off his head." I shouted angrily at the lynx.
