Chapter 769: The Attacking Non-Desert Army
Glorious Palace, Kyaukyang Palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ethan IV, with a pale face, and several imperial generals were standing around the topographical map of the salty continent, talking in a low voice. His expression was solemn, and he coughed twice from time to time, and then his face became more and more ugly.
Gan Guyu and Yin Yimo walked in with the palace people, and when they happened to see this scene, their hearts couldn't help but sink.
"Your Majesty, you are seriously injured and can't get out of the line of fire, admire and admire. Gangu Yu groaned slightly, and then walked forward with a smile.
The moment Ethan IV saw Gangu Yu, he couldn't help but feel a sense of relief in his heart, but he glared at him and snorted softly: "If you are in the mood to make fun of the widow, it is better to come and see how to deal with it now!"
Yin Yimo couldn't help but say, first helped Ethan IV to sit down on the throne to rest, and then turned around and came to Ganguyu's side and explained to him softly.
After the battle three days ago, the Fei Mo army did not stop at all, but drove straight into it under the leadership of the four sages, and attacked the gate of the main family compound where the Yanhua family had lived for thousands of years that night.
At that time, the Yanhua compound was not unmanned. In addition to those who were seriously injured and couldn't walk, there were also a group of gray-haired old people.
The leader was Tang Yan, the former Great Elder who had been released from the Natural Forest by the High Priest.
Where can these old people let go of the family foundation they have lived in all their lives? If their hearts are dead, they will stay, vowing to live and die with their homeland.
But naturally they don't want to die in vain.
Because of the hasty evacuation, a large amount of valuable property, grain and grass were left behind on the side of the Yanhua compound, but these obviously could not be left to the upcoming Feimo army, and they must be destroyed.
So these old men used this as bait and turned the entire compound into a dead place full of traps.
However, the four sages of Feimo, who were played by Gangu Yu, finally had a long memory this time, and did not rush into the Yanhua compound to loot, but let Biluo, who was more proficient in magic arrays and forbidden techniques, observe outside for a long time.
No matter how exquisite Yanhua's trap is, how can it be able to resist the deliberate vigilance of a Dharma god? So, Biluo directly started outside the compound, and in a matter of moments, he destroyed the trap laid by the old people of Yanhua.
Seeing that they couldn't do anything, the old people had to immediately activate the last self-destruction mechanism in the compound, and the flames of the burning sky suddenly burst out from the ground. And they launched the final death charge against the Feimo army.
Although these old people are high in rank and prestige, their strength is mostly limited, and even Tang Yan has become much weaker during these days of exile and house arrest. In front of the four Dharma gods, how much point can their struggles have?
A one-sided massacre.
Subsequently, Bi Luo ordered the Third Magician Regiment under his command to quickly extinguish the fire. However, this fire was obviously not an extraordinary fire, and it was not afraid of water invasion, and soon the courtyard that had stood here for more than 8,000 years, along with those tempting treasures and important material information, as well as those Yanhua people who were seriously injured and dying, were all burned to ashes.
Unable to obtain the materials they needed in the compound of Yanhua's main family, the Feimo army, which was already hungry, did not dare to stay at all, and attacked inlandly overnight, looting along the way.
The people of the Non-Desert Continent, who had suffered from the vicious anger for several months, naturally ignored the fatigue of continuous combat at this moment, and burned and looted in a retaliatory manner. Every time the Feimo army passed through a village and a town, it was like a locust tide crossing the border, leaving not a single inch of grass.
Fortunately, most of the people gradually moved to the rear as early as the beginning of the war, otherwise this night would have ended up in a river of blood. However, there are still people who do not want to leave their homeland, but they are taken away in their sleep.
This looting lasted for a whole day and a night, and it was not until the people of the non-desert continent finally had to stop and recuperate. At that time, they were already under the city of Juanlan.
Juanlancheng is an important town in the southeast of the salty continent, one of the centers of grain trading in the whole continent, and the first line of defense set by Ethan IV to block the Feimo army.
However, there are no natural hazards to defend in this important commercial town, but for the convenience of transportation, official roads and canals are well connected. The army of the Guangyao Empire, as well as the remnants of Yanhua whose flames of vengeance were burning brightly, had no choice but to retreat again after leaving countless corpses here.
And this time, there is no longer that kind of domineering flame that is not afraid of water invasion, and the four sages of the non-desert will not give the city defense army a chance to destroy materials again.
Before, the Feimo army burned and looted all the way to feed the war, but in addition to venting their anger, the harvest was not rich, but they were finally able to fill their stomachs.
And after occupying Juanlan City and seizing a large amount of food and materials in the city, they finally gained a firm foothold on the salty continent.
Hikari obviously understood this, so he temporarily stopped continuing to advance, and instead sent a legion of magicians to start cleaning up the surrounding environment with Julan City as the center, and at the same time arranged for people to hunt down the eyeliner left by Ethan IV in the city.
"The latest intelligence indicates that the enemy forces have taken full control of Juanlan City and all areas east of it. Yin Yimo pointed to the red area on the map in front of him and said.
Gan Guyu smiled bitterly in his heart, and on the surface, he had to pretend to be calm and light in front of the generals: "Well, their progress is not beyond our expectations. It should be said that my brother looked up to them before. ”
Yin Yimo glanced at Gan Guyu: "But after occupying Juanlan City, they finally didn't continue to slaughter, those ordinary people who didn't have time to escape." ”
"After all, they also have to consider the follow-up governance issues, as well as the difficulty of tackling tough problems in the future. Gangu Yu sneered, "If they continue to kill like this, won't all the people they will face in the future will be those who have the mentality of fighting to the death with them?"
Ethan IV snorted heavily: "Before, I vented my anger, but now I have begun to build a base camp for myself." These people have a good hand at calculating!"
Yin Yimo frowned and said, "The problem is that until the imperial capital, we really don't seem to have anything to defend, so we can only use human lives to delay their speed......"
"That's right, it's to drag them down with human lives. Gangu Yu nodded and said, "As far as their manpower is concerned, as long as our magician can forcibly replace a knight or magician on the other side, even if the level is lower than ours, it is not a big loss." ”
"Fighting a war of attrition with living forces, no one agrees to this. Ethan IV said in a low voice, "But now the battle loss ratio of the magicians on both sides is one and four, and it will continue to increase. ”
"Hehe, even if it's a hard work, you have to pay attention to ways and means, and it will be too much of a loss for us to hit us head-on. ”
Gangu Yu smiled and pointed to the area west of Juanlan City: "After Juanlan City, it can be regarded as the boundary of the Southeast Plains. Even if there is no natural danger, the terrain is always relatively complicated, right?" )
