Chapter 441: Total War

Qianrenxia Pass is a pass that makes everyone stand here in awe.

As soon as March 15 passes, the yellow sand inside the pass will be filled with white flags fluttering in the wind.

That was a deep memory for the soldiers who guarded the pass back then.

Today, Major General Jia Jiangjun, who was guarding the pass, looked at the surging tide of black pressure outside the city wall, and his heart rose to his throat.

I haven't seen anything like this in years.

"Light the beacon!"

Major General Jia Jiangjun ordered, this beacon tower in Qianrenxia, in a moment, ignited black wolf smoke!

Many years later, the desert in the northwest once again ignited such wolf smoke.

This is a signal of an invasion from a foreign enemy!

"Nomads, here!"

The simple words were passed on to the ears of the soldiers defending the city, and everyone's hearts rose to their throats.

Looking at the Red Eagle Iron Cavalry like a black sea, Jia Jiangjun seemed to remember the scene that was vivid in his purpose back then.

On the black armor, a blood-red eagle was outlined, the non-commissioned officer at the front of the team waved a large flag, the heavy cavalry slowly drove towards the city wall, and the light cavalry escorted the siege vehicles and ladders, slowly approaching the pass.

On top of that, there are the fearsome nomadic sorcerers who summon dust, frost, falcons, and vultures.

The last time there was such a siege was more than 10 years ago.

The generals of the Cloud Empire's Western Desert spent five years driving the nomadic army of the Red Eagle Federation out of the Westbound Desert, and they were no longer seen in the Westbound Desert.

"The scouts of the westward desert are all killed. ”

A partial general reported that these days, they have already felt the imminent movement of the nomads.

In the westward desert, there would have been seven scouts overnight to prevent the nomads from going south, but in the past few days, the scouts who went out to patrol have never returned after walking out of the Qianrenxia Pass.

I'm afraid that I have been captured alive by these people.

Jia Jiangjun looked at this terrifying nomadic army, they were even stronger than more than ten years ago.

Their iron riders are stronger, and their warlocks are more numerous.

Moreover, they have also made more siege engines and ladders, and it seems that they have been waiting for this day all along.

He clearly saw that among the enemy's iron horsemen, there was a strong man with a yellow beard, this strong man was naked, and on his chest was a very terrible scar.

Jia Jiangjun was very familiar with this man, a tribal leader among the nomads, and his name was Chekov.

This damn yellow-bearded bastard has a very lengthy surname, so much so that Jia Jiangjun doesn't even want to deliberately memorize it.

He carried this big knife in his hand, and the adjutant beside him suppressed a scout sent out by Jia Jiangjun.

The scout, gritting his teeth, stripped of his shirt and pinned to the ground.

Chekov defiantly stretched out his middle finger at Jia Jiangjun on the city wall, and then, the big knife was raised, and he directly cut off the scout's head!

Blood enters the wind and sand, and the skull is stained with dust!

Then, the heavy cavalry behind him began to move forward, escorting the ladders and siege vehicles to gradually approach the Qianrenxia Pass.

In the valleys on both sides of Qianren Gorge, those warlocks of the Red Eagle Federation were also in place, unleashing fierce winds and ice and snow, and fiercely slaughtered the defensive circle of Qianren Gorge!

"Stabilize the magic circle and wait for General Song to rush to help!"

"Turn on the trap and set up the repeater!"

"Let these damn nomads see how good we are!"

After Jia Jiangjun finished speaking, the soldiers who were waiting for the battle began to move.

The Mo family's crossbow, the rune cannon studied by the castle tower.

They all set up the walls and smashed them at the heavily armored cavalry.

But these guys have learned to use formations, and rows of formations rise directly above the huge shields of the heavy cavalry, blocking all the bows and crossbows and cannonballs used.

The first wave of attacks did not bring any visible damage to these heavy cavalry.

"Array mages arrayed! Break the shield wall!"

Jia Jiangjun commanded very calmly, and there were hundreds of skilled and powerful formation mages in Qianrenxia Pass.

These formation mages urged the Heavenly Thunder Formation to protect the city, and suddenly, the Heavenly Thunder roared and killed the heavy cavalry.

These heavy cavalrymen wore very heavy armor, which gave them a very strong defense.

However, it also weakens their ability to resist lightning.

As the thunder fell, the heavy cavalry in the front row that had broken through the formation shield wall was suddenly struck by a strong lightning strike.

They couldn't stabilize their figures, and they fell one after another under the attack of the thunder.

"Withdraw, withdraw, withdraw! Don't get too close to those thunderstorms!"

Chekov was anxious, these heavily armored soldiers were a strong army they had spent a lot of resources to build, and if they were wiped out by the formation mages at this pass, it would be worth the loss.

"Repeaters, artillery, warlocks attacking the enemy!"

The warlocks who were using storms and wild sand to encroach on the Qianren Gorge Pass were panicking.

Thousands of repeaters and heavy artillery blasted directly at these warlocks, and the warlocks who had no heavy armor defense were quickly blown away by the artillery.

Even crossbows pierced their bodies, and poisoned crossbow arrows reaped their lives.

"Protector!"

The light cavalry rushed up the valley and brought the warlocks back directly, and there were not many dead and wounded warlocks in this wave, that is, less than two hundred.

These warlocks are just cannon fodder in the Awakening Realm, and those among the nomads who have a talent for magic are forcibly fed amplification potions, and then pulled into the battlefield to use as magicians.

Although these people have a certain amount of technical cultivation ability, they are not vulnerable at all.

Chekov withdrew his troops a little, and after maintaining a relatively safe distance from the pass, he ordered camp.

This kind of pair

Jia Jiangjun is too familiar.

"The order goes down, and the four shifts are down, and it is strictly controlled. ”

After Jia Jiangjun gave the instructions, he frowned and looked outside the pass.

"How many resources are we using?"

"Probably, a tenth. ”

partial general says:

"Save crossbow arrows and artillery, and the formation mage has to carry the girder. ”

"These damn nomads, they've learned to be clever. ”

Jia Jiangjun muttered, these guys at the beginning would not consume their resources.

At the beginning, these guys directly piled up with their lives.

broke the pass, flattened the river, and ran directly to Liangzhou Mansion.

Now, it's clear that their strategy has changed dramatically.

"Could it be that these guys still have a plan?"

Jia Jiangjun frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"Don't let your guard down!"

"If the pass is lost, then these heavy cavalry will be rampant in the Western Desert!"

The wolf smoke was still drifting, and after a brief tentative attack, the nomadic army was silent.

Only a few headless corpses remained, pecked by the desert vultures.

......

On the dock of Jiangzhou Mansion, Shen Qing frowned and looked in the direction of the sea.

The people of Luxian Palace arrived by fast boat and directly conveyed a message.

The enemy is coming, get ready.

However, Shen Qing had been waiting here for a long time, and there was no movement at all on the sea.

"Could it be that they have withdrawn?"

She looked at everything on the sea in a bit of confusion, as if the wind and waves were calm, and there was no feeling of someone intruding at all.

"It's impossible, they are attacking the Three Gods Island with all their might, how can they withdraw their troops now?"

Yuan Qiao felt a little strange, these invaders worked so hard when they attacked the Three Gods Island, how could they suddenly stop now?

"Shouldn't it be like this, could it be that they occupied Sanshen Island, used it as their stronghold, and then gradually marched towards Jiangzhou Mansion?"

Wen Tingting, who was on the side, analyzed, and Shen Qing frowned.

If that's the case, it's going to be difficult.

According to Yuan Qiao, this invading ship was very terrifying, and even the Protector Sect Formation of Luxian Palace was difficult to resist.

Coupled with such a superb command, Jiangzhou Mansion will definitely be in a difficult situation this time.

"If it is really as you say, then we have completely lost our control of the East China Sea. ”

"Well, prepare for the worst. ”

Wen Tingting took a deep breath.

In the face of the terrible enemy she was described, she had little confidence.

The current Jiangzhou Mansion, although its strength is not weak, if that kind of warship really gets close to the coast, it will definitely be a huge disaster......

"Fortunately, Mrs. Yan is as good as a god, and we have prepared a lot of bows and crossbows and equipment in advance. ”

"Yes, be able to resist for a while. ”

Shen Qing thought to herself that if those warships really dared to dock, she would have to go up directly to fight with them in hand-to-hand combat.

As long as there is no same god powerhouse on the other side, this kind of battle should not be a problem.

Yuan Qiao said that at present, only the enemy has very strong artillery, and it is still unknown whether there are strong gods on those ships.

"Come, if you dare to come, then kill them all. ”

......

The war in the Western Desert and the East China Sea has begun, and the Niangzi Pass on the river has also ushered in their first battle.

Hundreds of ships on the icy sea quickly poured down a large number of pirates, dressed in standard clothes and armed with large knives or small muskets.

It seems that their cultivation is very weak, and if they rely on broadswords and muskets, they can only meet ordinary armies.

At this time, the person who guarded the outside of the Niangzi Pass was Wu Yong.

Beiyun Sword Wu Yong, but he is a master of swordsmanship, and he handed over the lady to this swordsman, Li Junhan was very relieved.

When Qiu Changhai sent people to Jingzhou Mansion to move rescue troops, Wu Yong was already standing outside Niangzi Pass.

On the city wall of Niangzi Pass, Li Junhan, Zhang He and Lei Yunlong stood in the cold wind, looking at the hundreds of warships from afar.

"If the Kraken will go out of the nest, you still have to be a little careful of their senior cadres. ”

"If there are members of the Fourth Order of the Transformation Gods, it is best to kill them immediately. ”

What Zhang He was worried about was the senior generals of the Beihai Branch of the Kraken Society.

He said that he was a high-ranking general, but in fact he was just a powerful pirate.

Among the Sirens, there are the names of the Four Great Sea Emperors.

Of the four sea emperors of this Siren, two are in the North Sea and two are in the West Sea.

The Middle Sea is not the main territory of the Siren Society, and their range of activities still stays in the North Sea and the West Sea.

After all, Zhonghai was too close to the Cloud Empire, and too far from their old nest, Beihai, to rush forward would only be counterproductive.

"If those two Sea Emperors come, it's time for us to make a move. ”

"Now it seems that Wu Yong should still be able to deal with it. ”

Seeing Wu standing on the Niangzi Pass with a long sword in hand, those pirates who gradually surrounded him had no intention of approaching at all.

This is really a one-man affair, and it is impossible to open it.

"What? Are you all eggless cowards?"

"Don't want to try Uncle Ben's swordsmanship?"

Wu Yong shouted, and those big men could clearly feel the murderous aura emanating from the person in front of them.

That kind of murderous aura, even these big men who have no cultivation can clearly feel it, which is enough to show how terrifying Wu Yong is.

A big man tentatively aimed a musket at Wu Yong, and shot it out directly!

"Bang!"

Tongues of fire erupt

, a marble that smelled of gunpowder flew directly towards Wu Yong.

Wu smiled contemptuously and slashed out directly with a sword.

This stainless steel marble was cut in half by Wu with a direct sword!

The sword qi spread directly backwards, cutting the big man who fired the gun in half.

Blood burst out, and the pirates beside him suddenly took a few steps back.

"If you want to fight, come!"

Wu Yong roared angrily, and directly held the long sword and killed it!

With so many people, if you rashly use the sword technique, it may lead to the loss of true qi, and the most efficient and safe way is to kill with one sword at a time!

The long sword brushed by, and every stab would take away the life of a pirate, and the swordsmanship used by Beiyun Sword Wu was ruthless and accurate.

A sword pierces the throat, an arrow pierces the heart, and a slash is the separation of the human head!

is simply neat, not dragging mud and water at all, but after a short quarter of an hour, the lady is outside the gate, and the corpses are all over the field!

When the snow was blowing and the blood of the dead pirates was still steaming, their bodies were already covered in frost.

"Come on!"

Wu Yong roared again, and at this moment, those pirates no longer dared to step forward.

"What's the matter?

"A bunch of waste with no eggs!"

Wu Yong's eyes were red, at this time he couldn't care about others at all, stepping on the cold corpse, he rushed at those pirates at once!

The sound of the wind and snow drowned out the wails of the pirates before they died.

......

"The point will be over. ”

The second prince sat in the hall of the Zhongzhou Pastoral Office, looking at the military order in his hand, and couldn't help but smile.

Two major generals, four partial generals, this lineup can be seen.

The 40,000 soldiers, plus the 50,000 militia and permanent troops under the river, should not be too much of a problem if they want to defend the coastline below the river.

And today, it is also the time when Lu Cheng and others are about to leave for South Vietnam.

"Let's go. ”

After taking the military order, looking at the two young generals who had been waiting for a long time in the Zhongzhou Pastoral Hall, the second prince said concisely:

"Yes, Your Highness!"

These two powerful and sturdy young generals are also two young men, one with a tiger's back and a beard, known as the tiger overlord Qiao Shen.

A man with muscles like a mountain, a bald head and sword eyebrows, known as the Iron Bodhisattva Li Kun.

These two major generals were originally the garrison generals of the eight counties of Zhongzhou, and when they heard that the second prince was about to go on the expedition, they directly wrote to the queen and were willing to cooperate with the second prince to go on the expedition!

The three of them walked out of Zhongzhou Mu's office and went straight to the south gate of Yunjing Mincheng.

At this time, at the South City Gate, the donkey master was counting Xiao He angrily, Xiao He was beaten by the donkey master with a blue nose and swollen face, but he didn't mean to return the mouth at all.

"Nonsense, he dares to talk back? Even his cowardly master Li Tianhuo doesn't dare to talk back to Lao Tzu!"

Speaking of this Tianhuo Master, he hurriedly returned to Yandong with everyone yesterday, and just informed Xiao He.

It should be that after hearing the news of Zhenyunguan, he was a little worried about Chilianmen, so he hurried home.

However, thinking about it this way, it is also more funny, Zhenyun Guan was only sought revenge when Lei Zhangjiao went to Jingzhou to do business.

That is away from the Yue Zhangjiao every day, but there is no door to go out, and he specializes in studying all things in the sect.

You are so safe in the Red Lianmen, where will an enemy dare to seek revenge?

"Lao Lu, when are we leaving?"

"You're in a hurry, your reward hasn't been delivered yet, and my things haven't been delivered, so why don't you wait for the things to come before leaving?"

Lao Lu remembered clearly that Yang Ming directly drank the fragments last night, and when he got up in the morning, he actually slept in the same bed with Wen Qingdai.

But...... This is not the first time, Yang Ming can accept it calmly......

Thinking about it this way, Wen Qingdai is not only beautiful, but also has such beautiful feet.

It's unbelievable......

"I said Yang Ming, Qing Dai specially called you to the house before leaving, what did she tell you?"

Xue Yan couldn't hold back his curiosity about gossip at all, and this morning, Wen Qingdai specially called Yang Ming to the house before leaving, and the windows and doors were closed tightly.

These two people didn't know what they were doing in the house, which made Xue Yan very curious!

"I didn't say anything, I just told ......

Yang Ming won't tell Xue Yan the truth!

Wen Qingdai called him to the house, mainly to say his own instructions.

Although she said it very vaguely, it basically revealed a message.

That is, Yang Ming must take Lu Cheng to the lake to meet her master......

It seems that her master is a super admirer of Lu Cheng, and she has to let the two of them meet each other.

Yang Ming didn't tell Xue Yan because Lao Lu was also here.

It's not good to say bad things about Lao Lu behind his back, isn't it even more presumptuous to say this to his face?

It's better to talk less......

Today, Lin Ruohuyue didn't come to see them off, but Mo Lin kept sending them to the south gate of Mincheng.

"It's just that the ink of the two princes is just that, and the scholar of Han University is actually so ink. ”

Lu Cheng shook his head helplessly, although it was indeed a bit too much for him to ask for a scholar from Han University, but in terms of time, it was really not too early......

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry ......"

Scholar Han hurriedly came, holding a small package in his hand, and secretly handed the small package to Lu Cheng.

"This thing is contraband, you have to be careful with it!"

When he handed the package to Lu Cheng, he also specially reminded him.

Lu Cheng grinned and checked the contents of the package.

"Good guy, old Han, you're amazing!"
