Chapter 145: Five Cities in a Row
An hour later, the army was assembled.
Taking advantage of Yue Fei's pre-war mobilization to boost morale, Yang Ye secretly found Zhou Xiaoning.
"City Lord Zhou, what about the 20,000 troops you mentioned, when will they arrive?"
"Hehe, when it's time to appear, they will naturally appear, and you don't have to worry about General Yang."
Zhou Xiaoning sold a pass, after all, what he said now about the inherent enchantment, Yang Ye and they couldn't understand it, since this is the case, Zhou Xiaoning didn't bother to bother with that tongue, everything should be based on facts.
"How can you make me not worry about this."
Yang Ye thought so in his heart, but on the surface, he didn't lose Zhou Xiaoning's face, and after confessing, he went down to adjust the combat deployment.
After about half an hour, the whole army marched and went straight to the base camp of the demon army.
Because Zhou Xiaoning blessed the whole army with the Wind Spirit Technique, the marching speed was greatly increased, and three hours later, that is, at one or two o'clock in the morning, everyone could already see the city walls.
Zhou Xiaoning cautiously released his divine sense to perceive it, and sure enough, the three military camps in the east, west and south were already empty, and there were only five thousand demon soldiers left in the city to guard them, and there were only ten demon generals left behind, and the strongest one was only in the early stage of the sixth order, which posed no threat to him at all.
"City Lord Zhou, look at this city......"
Yue Fei's face showed a look of embarrassment, no matter how empty the defense in the city was, the city wall that was more than ten meters high was an insurmountable obstacle.
The art of war is cloudy, attacking the heart is the top, and the siege is the bottom. You must know that if the besieging party wants to storm and take a city, it often has to pay three times as much as the city to defend the city, or even more sacrifices to succeed, and that is still when the siege equipment is complete. And at the moment, although they have more than 10,000 troops, nearly 20 top-level soldiers, but the siege equipment is only a ladder built from local materials, if you want to take this city, you have to pay half of the casualties, the price is too great, and the gains outweigh the losses.
"I understand General Yue's concerns, so let me break this city wall."
Zhou Xiaoning stood up confidently, stretched out his right hand to the side, and with a fold of golden ripples flashing, a sword inserted in the golden scabbard emerged, and finally landed on Zhou Xiaoning's hand.
It was too late, it was too fast, Zhou Xiaoning drew his sword out of the sheath and swung his sword to slash.
I saw a golden sword qi flying out, getting bigger and bigger, and the thick city wall was like a big gap made of tofu in front of this sword qi.
"This, this ......"
Although Yue Fei is a famous general, it is the first time to see this kind of scene, and he was speechless in surprise for a while, is this really what human power can do.
"General Yue, now that the demon army is in chaos, isn't it time to attack?"
"Yes, yes, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, I order the two of you to be the vanguard, lead the Beiwei army to rush into the city, be sure to guard the gap for me, and open the way for the follow-up army!"
"The last general commands!"
Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing responded excitedly, and then led less than 2,000 Beiwei troops to rush over.
The Beiwei Army is an elite cavalry unit formed by Yue Fei, although it is only a four-star top class, it is not far behind a five-star class, and it can be said to be the elite of the elite. In its heyday, there were a total of 8,000 people in the Beiwei army, but after many battles, there are only so many left.
Although there were only less than 2,000 troops, the Beiwei army still showed the momentum of galloping thousands of horses, but in one minute, they ran nearly a kilometer away, and entered the city through the gap in the city wall cut by Zhou Xiaoning.
Most of the demon soldiers had not recovered from the shock of the broken city wall at this time, and they died under the butcher's knife of the Beiwei army for no apparent reason.
The demon generals in charge of guarding this wall have not tried to gather their forces and borrow the surrounding buildings for street battles to suppress the advantage of cavalry to the greatest extent. But as soon as he gave half of his order, he was broken by Niu Gao, who had greatly increased his strength, and he couldn't die anymore.
The shouting and killing sound of the city wall on this side immediately attracted the attention of the other defenders in the city, and the three thousand demon soldiers under the leadership of the Nine Lives Demon General rushed to the rescue, and the demon general of the early sixth order that Zhou Xiaoning sensed before was among them.
However, at this time, the follow-up Yang family army had also entered the city, and the father and son of the Yang family had seen Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing kill so well before, and they couldn't help it for a long time, and eight people and eight guns stopped the eight demon generals with fifth-order strength respectively. And their respective wives swept around, and when something was wrong, they went up to help, so that those demon generals could see what it means to be husband and wife working together, and its benefits are gold.
As for the demon general with sixth-order strength, he didn't even dare to move at this time, his hand was tightly gripping the steel knife, his muscles were tense, and he didn't dare to relax in the slightest.
"Oh, it's a bit interesting, after I can still stay awake after I am a dragon, it can be regarded as a little capable, no wonder Yuan Lu Zhi is relieved that you stay and receive the base camp."
Zhou Xiaoning watched the demon coming, I have to say that the demon army is almost the same in his eyes, that is, the strength is stronger, like this kind of public-faced general, Zhou Xiaoning didn't bother to pay attention to it at all. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to figure out Yuan Lu Zhi's location in the Demon City of the island country, Zhou Xiaoning would have slapped him to death a long time ago.
I have to say that Zhou Xiaoning's luck this time is really good, this demon general was the first to follow Yuan Lu Zhi to the present world, although his strength is not good, but it can be regarded as a high level of hard work, he is one of the few henchmen of Yuan Lu Zhi, in his mind, but there are a lot of secrets of Yuan Lu Zhi and the demon army.
This guy is also very tough, Zhou Xiaoning cast illusion on him, he struggled for more than ten minutes before he completely fell into the illusion, and once Zhou Xiaoning asked about things that might endanger Yuan Lu Zhi, his spirit would resist violently, and he almost broke through Zhou Xiaoning's illusion control several times.
But in general, the results were quite satisfactory to Zhou Xiaoning, not only did he get the location of the demon city of the island country, but also the defense deployment of each city was clearly known, and even the spatial intersection that Zhou Xiaoning didn't find before was also obtained from him, which saved Zhou Xiaoning a lot of effort.
All the generals were pressed and beaten, and the difference in strength was huge, and one side was like a frightened bird because of the destruction of the city, and the other side carried the anger of revenge, and the morale was high, unless Yuan Lu Zhi suddenly came back, the city would definitely be broken.
Indeed, after ten minutes of fighting, the demon defenders were all killed, while the Song Dynasty coalition army had only a few hundred people with varying degrees of severity, and none of them died. And these injuries were quickly healed under Zhou Xiaoning's spell treatment.
Since Zhou Xiaoning joined as an alliance, and the command of the Song Dynasty coalition army was still on Yue Fei and Yang Ye and others, he didn't get any benefits except for killing the sixth-order demon generals and the demon soldiers he took away when he broke through the city wall.
However, with Zhou Xiaoning's current net worth, he can't look down on this little profit, and only the big explosion after killing Yuan Lu Zhi can make him look forward to it.
The next half hour was the time for the Song Dynasty coalition forces to clear the scattered demon soldiers in the city and collect military supplies. And Zhou Xiaoning also took the time to go to the Yuanlu Zhi Treasure Room.
The barrier has been opened, and the contents have been emptied.
Although Zhou Xiaoning had expected it before he came, he still felt a little disappointed when he saw this scene. Otherwise, the plan can't catch up with the changes, and his previous spatial imprint is in vain.
Yuan Lu Zhi led the army to attack the defense line of the city wall, and all the good things that could be taken away were taken away, so the Song Dynasty coalition army did not gain much, that is, they found some dry food left for the defenders, but that little thing was not enough for the Song Dynasty coalition army to eat for a day, and it was not as much as Zhou Xiaoning took out.
I had always heard that the Yue family army and the Yang family army were extremely strict in governing the army, but today Zhou Xiaoning can be regarded as having seen it, and when the horn sounds, no matter where the soldiers are distributed in the city, they will come to gather within five minutes.
The spatial intersection connecting the island country is on the square in front of the city lord's mansion, but it was temporarily closed by Yuan Lu Zhi, and if you want to open it again, you must activate it with enough space power.
This is not difficult for Zhou Xiaoning.
I saw that Zhou Xiaoning's left eye switched to a dragon pupil, and then a gray light shot out from it, submerging into the air, causing a ripple.
As time passed, the ripples became more and more intense, and after about ten seconds, a whirlpool appeared, and through the center of the whirlpool, a different scene could be seen from the square in front of the door. It was in the demon city of an island nation, and it looked like it was supposed to be a garden.
As time went on, the vortex grew larger and larger, until it finally stabilized to a size that was only large enough for three people to pass side by side.
"All the soldiers, rush with me!"
The Yang family's army, which had been on call for a long time, rushed straight over like a tiger descending from a mountain under the leadership of Yang Ye's father and son. Although they had just finished a battle, with the medicinal effect of Baicaodan, the previous physical exertion recovered in a few minutes.
The city on the opposite side obviously didn't expect the enemy to appear directly in the city, and was caught off guard, and another city was easily taken.
However, these two cities are the connection of the spatial intersection, and there is no room for error, and Zhou Xiaoning does not dare to guarantee that closing the permanent advent point and completely destroying the city will not have a bad impact on the spatial intersection, so these two cities are temporarily retained.
After each of them sent 1,000 troops, and Yang Yanping and his wife, Yang Yanding and his wife were stationed, Zhou Xiaoning, Yue Fei, Yang Ye and others continued to set off, using the same method, with lightning speed, and connected the three cities, but this time Zhou Xiaoning was not so polite, and directly closed the permanent advent point, completely destroying the three cities.
