Chapter 20: Rushing to the aid of the Black City
Because the tent had just been built, there was no time to place the seats inside, only a few simple wooden planks, Li Brahma took off his coat and cushioned it before letting Li Fanyin sit down. Li Fanyin looked around and said, "Brother, are you staying here?"
"Hehe," Li Brahma laughed dryly and said, "No way, this is a military camp, the conditions are a little worse, just adapt to it." โ
"However, you are different, you are the eldest grandson of the patriarch, and you will be the patriarch in the future. Li Fanyin's face was full of unwillingness.
Li Brahma said sharply: "Even if the patriarch comes, it's like this, don't say things like this in the future." โ
But...... Why don't you come back and live, I miss you. Li Fanyin pouted, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice.
The scene was silent for a while, and Li Fanyin's words almost made Li Brahma cry, he had lived with his sister since he was a child, but he didn't expect the first time they were separated for so long.
Li Brahma raised his hand and touched Li Fanyin's head, knowing that he had spoken a little heavy just now, "You also said just now, my brother will be the patriarch in the future, if he doesn't have military merits, he can't do it, and I can't embarrass my father."
Li Fanyin muttered, "Dad knew that you wouldn't come back, so he asked me to send you something." After speaking, he took out a pair of armor from the storage ring, the armor was ordinary, and even a little old, and it was also covered with slash marks.
Li Brahma couldn't sit still, was slightly shocked, and said, "This is the fire armor, given to me, what is that dad wearing?"
Li Fanyin replied, "Dad said that he doesn't need it anymore, and you will inevitably go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, so let me bring it to you." โ
The Fire Armor is Li Yuanhao's personal armor, which is a real magic weapon, and has a rare fire attribute buff, which was rewarded by the family for Li Yuanhao's great contribution last time.
Li Yuanhao has the armor from the fire is even more like a tiger with wings, in the past few years in the eastern Xinjiang has made countless achievements, the orcs are even more innocent, if Li Yuanhao is the spiritual sustenance of the entire eastern Xinjiang garrison, in the eastern Xinjiang from the fire armor is an absolute symbol of Li Yuanhao.
Father's request for Fanyin to bring the Fire Armor to protect himself is a purpose, and more importantly, an expectation of himself.
Li Brahma silently put the armor into the storage ring, full of spirits, eager to go to the battlefield and fight to the death with the orcs, "How is the situation in Dongjiang now?"
"I don't know about this, my mother has never let me go out, but my father rarely comes home, and even when he comes back, he is busy dealing with military affairs, and I don't think the situation is very good. โ
One question and one answer, the brother and sister chatted casually, from military affairs to life. Even if it's an ordinary friend, there will be an inexplicable joy after not seeing each other for many years, let alone a pair of brothers and sisters. Li Fantian even moved his hands and feet, either pinching Li Fanyin's face, or pinching the itchy flesh on his waist, which made Li Fanyin laugh coquettishly.
Time is always lost inadvertently, and Li Brahma didn't feel tired during the chat, and even showed signs of getting more and more excited, eager not to come back what he hadn't said in the past few days. If Li Qing hadn't broken in, they wouldn't have known how long they would have talked.
"Li Qing, what do you want to do. Li Fanyin puffed out his cheeks and was slightly angry.
"It's not Brother Tian, it's an emergency gathering. Li Qing rarely did not explain to Li Fanyin at the moment.
Li Brahma stood up, Li Brahma had already been accustomed to life in the army in the past few days, said to Li Fanyin to wait a minute, and ran out, and pulled out Li Qing who was explaining to Li Fanyin.
The Doll Army camp has long been in chaos, you go east, I go west, you put on my shoes, and whose pants do I put on. Although the Doll Army has experienced three days of military life and has slightly reduced its childishness, after all, the time is still a bit short, and it still can't be compared with the veterans, and an emergency assembly is a bit busy. Li Brahma took Li Qing to the meeting place after a lot of waste.
Seeing that the soldier was so unprecedented, the commander didn't scold, so he took out a document directly from the bag and read it out loud, "The warrant of the General Staff of the Wolf Smoke Legion." Ordered, Li Brahma and Li Da, the commanders of either battalion and the second battalion, each led 1,500 men to reinforce the two cities of black and white, and set off immediately. After the commander finished speaking, he turned around and left the field, leaving only Li Da and Li Brahma stunned on the spot, and he became the battalion commander inexplicably. It was Li Da who reacted first, and said to his subordinates, "Go back to the camp immediately and prepare, and gather here in two minutes,"
"Brother, what's going on outside. As soon as Li Brahma returned to the military tent, Li Fanyin asked nervously.
"It's okay, it's just that I'm going to leave again, this time to the Black City. After Li Brahma finished speaking, he added another sentence, "Don't worry", and he didn't care to say a few more words.
Li Fanyin looked at the back of the tent and clasped his hands tightly.
The two black and white cities are the largest military fortresses in eastern Xinjiang except for Shouyang Pass, one east and one west and Shouyang Pass form a corner of each other.
This time the orcs attacked suddenly, Li Yuanhao adopted the strategy of clearing the wilderness with a strong wall, returning to defend and defending, except for the two cities of black and white, the army of the sentry card retreated to the rear city, the original black city was guarded by Bai Ziqi's first division, and the white city was guarded by Lin Ruhai's second division, plus the local militia who retreated this time, the number of people in the two cities of black and white also reached nearly 20,000 people.
And after the orcs captured the Walloon Fortress, they have been harassed by the Li family's army, and even the orcs may be inexplicably hit by an arrow if they in the wild. Basically, the orcs are attrition every day, and the Li family army comes and goes without a trace by virtue of its familiarity with the terrain, and sometimes the orcs are not easy to bite the Li family army and dare not chase deeply.
So much so that the orcs can race with the snail at the speed of the march, and finally see the next human city, but they have already gone to the empty building and can't even find a piece of iron.
This continued until the orcs arrived in the city, and it took a few days for the city to be well prepared. Within range of the archers, the ground was covered with thistles, pits, and bundles of arrows piled up on the walls, but none of them frightened the valiant orc warriors. With a "woo hula" orc warriors rushed directly to the black city, the first batch of orc warriors filled the trap, the second group of warriors wasted the arrows on the upper floor, and the third group of warriors had not yet set off, and the right wing of the orc army was in chaos.
General Lin Ruhai personally led the defenders of Baicheng to rush over and slammed the right flank of the orc army, the orcs finally adjusted the defensive line, and the left flank was in chaos, and Li Weiqin led the third army to come to support. was besieged on three sides, but fortunately, the orc army was numerous, and there was also the elite division of the Nine-Tailed Fox Legion, but there was no situation where the whole army fled.
However, fighting on three sides is still a taboo for soldiers, and it will deal a major blow to the morale of the army. As the orcs withdrew from the battlefield, the Li family's second and third armies also slowly retreated to the defense area.
There were casualties on both sides of this battle, and Yun Sen, the commander-in-chief of the Orc Legion, didn't say a word in the big tent, not because of how many people died today, the cheapest thing in the Beast Mountain is human life.
This war gives Yun Sen a warning, no matter which city you attack, as long as you can't attack it for a long time, you will be attacked from three sides, although the orcs have a numerical advantage, and the Li family's army has no way to take him, but this kind of pull will just fall into Li Yuanhao's arms.
This expedition is to take the Li family by surprise, and if it is too delayed here, the advantage of the orcs will not be so obvious. Then there is only one way, divide the troops.
However, the division of troops is detrimental to combat effectiveness. However, this time it is not necessary to destroy the Wolf Smoke Army, the most important thing is to put pressure on the Li family. What's more, the orcs are still stable in terms of numbers.
Yun Sen pondered repeatedly in his heart, and finally made up his mind, "Okay, let's divide the troops." Yun Sen slapped the table and shouted. A loud shout startled the generals in the tent and knelt on the ground.
Yun Sen saw the people kneeling, his heart was unhappy, and he said with a gloomy face, "Tomorrow the troops will be divided, the Agni Legion will be responsible for feints to defend Yangguan, and the first division of the Nine-Tailed Fox Army will feint to attack Baicheng, and you two will do your best to drag down the defenders of the Li family, so that they will not be able to support Heicheng." I personally led the rest of the Nine-Tailed Fox Legion to attack Heicheng. Do you understand everything?"
"Understood," the generals replied
"Remember, no one can be let go, otherwise military law will be involved," Yun Sen said to the commander of the Fire Legion. Yun Sen was the most worried about the Flame Legion, and today was the first chaos in the Flame Clan, resulting in an unstable formation.
The Captain of the Fire Legion, Katfu, lowered his head and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the lower officer will not let him fly even a fly." Carter trembled, although he was at the same level as Yun Sen, how could a second-rate legion leader compare with the elite of Beast Mountain.
"Hmm" Yun Sen nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go down, get ready"
Such a large transfer of the orc legion naturally could not hide from the Li family's scouts, and in less than an hour, the movements and numbers of the orcs were placed on Li Yuanhao's desk. Years of conquest have already cultivated Li Yuanhao's keen intuition, and there must be a greater conspiracy behind such a large troop movement.
No. This is to be precise, it is a yang conspiracy, and the soldiers are divided into three routes, pointing directly at the two cities of black and white and guarding Yangguan. As long as someone with a little brains knows the intentions of the orcs, but Li Yuanhao does not dare to send troops to attack.
First, there are a large number of orcs, and second, Li Yuanhao still doesn't know if the orcs have a trap. Pull a hair and move the whole body, Shouyang Pass leads the crowd out, and the two cities of black and white will definitely respond, and then it will be a large-scale field battle. Leaving a fortified city to go out into battle with the orcs is not something a fool would do.
Just when Li Yuanhao was distressed about this, the reinforcements mixed by the family guards happened to arrive at Shouyang Pass, and the family guards were all the elite of the family, at least they also had the strength to build a foundation, and those ordinary soldiers who refined their bodies could not be compared. The soldiers were very fast, and Li Yuanhao simply listened to the report of the person in charge of the family guard mixed army and issued an order for reinforcements. The mixed army temporarily stayed in Yangguan, after all, Shouyangguan is the first fortress in eastern Xinjiang, and it must be guarded by heavy troops.
