Chapter 149: An Unexpected Enemy
"Everyone's table is quite good, I am very satisfied". Yun Feng's eyes were full of approval, and the battle went smoothly to his surprise, and he didn't make a single move from beginning to end. Although most of the students were injured, they were not very strict.
"Teacher Yunfeng, why don't you let us continue to go with Brother Lie Yan and them?
Although he was praised by Teacher Yunfeng, Lie Xuan was still not satisfied, this warlike boy didn't seem to have enough of the addiction to fighting.
Many of the other male students also had the same idea as Lie Hyun, and they were now almost comfortable with the battlefield. Other students don't seem to want to show weakness in front of everyone.
"Alright, alright. I can understand your feelings, but now is not the time to be reckless Yun Hen smiled and said. His purpose can be said to have been achieved, and there is no need to let these students continue to take risks.
"There's not a lot of time left until the House Championship, so we have to prepare a little bit in advance
Hearing Yun Feng say this, Lie Xuan didn't think he was brave enough to continue to persevere, after all, for them, the academy competition was indeed more important!
"It's really thanks to the help of your students this time, otherwise, if you want to take down this Revenant Fortress, you will definitely have to pay more price!" Yun Lan said to her eldest brother very gratefully, when the net started, she didn't expect that these teenagers would have such a strong strength, and they would be able to perform such an amazing work when they went to the battlefield for the first time!
The role that a magician can wield on the battlefield is definitely much higher than that of a swordsman of the same rank! What's more, those students of Yunfeng are actually all magic swords of demonic and martial dual cultivation!
What is the concept of a magic swordsman? That is, there is no need for other people's protection at all, and there is no need to hide behind a human wall, but can directly rush to the opponent's camp and cast magic at close range! In fact, when I saw these teenagers fighting with their fighting spirit, they kept chanting mysterious spells in their mouths, and from time to time they released fireballs or lightning bolts
The defenders of the Revenant Fortress, who did not have much fighting spirit in the first place, were about to collapse on the spot.
"Lan'er, what are you going to do with those captives?" Yun Feng suddenly asked, he still couldn't believe the outcome of this battle until now, mainly because it was too incredible!
Three thousand against thirty thousand, not only successfully captured the well-defended Revenant Fortress in its entirety, but also almost completely annihilated the opponent. This kind of record, even the word "dream" is not enough!
Ever since the garrison general of the Soul Fortress, Zetai, committed suicide. The defenders basically gave up resistance altogether. Even small-scale sporadic resistance is very rare, which shows how low the will to fight has become, whether it is a small general or a small soldier at the bottom!
In fact, the defenders of the Revenant Fortress who really died in this battle, counting the results of the previous Doomsday Guard, added up to more than 5,000 people, but the prisoners were more than 20,000! Most of the rest chose to abandon the pass and escape, but it was obvious that in the face of the 20,000 cavalry of the Red Army Legion who almost didn't stop and directly entered the Sandru Gorge, they would not have had a chance to return to the Screaming Plains safely.
As for those guys who escaped into the Forbidden Mountain Range, they didn't need to worry about it, even if one or two lucky people safely crossed the Forbidden Mountain Range, it was definitely not something that could be done in a day or two, and it had no impact on the overall situation at all.
"Let's keep them for now. Anyway, the supplies of the Revenant Fortress are quite sufficient. "For these captives. Yun Lan actually had a bit of a headache, "But the combat power of these soldiers is really weak, I guess the Dark Sun Empire probably won't redeem them."
"Forget it, it's a big deal to stay directly for military control, anyway, the population of Shannan Province has always been very sparse
Yun Lan's military control is actually to treat these captives as free labor, but the treatment is better than that of slaves, the Tianlong Empire abolished slavery a long time ago, so there are no slaves left.
However, hearing Yun Lan say this, the most excited person among the people present was Wang Dong, the head of the Tieshan Wang family! Although Shannan Province is poor in land, the scarcity of population is also another important reason restricting the exhibition of Shannan Province!
Although these captives can't fight, if there are more than 20,000 more prime-aged laborers at once, it will be quite good news for both Shannan Province and the Tieshan Wang family!
And no matter what reason Miss Yun Lan made this decision, as long as she accepted this benefit, then in the eyes of others, the relationship between the Tieshan Wang family and the Qinglong Yun family was at least unusual
Yun Lan didn't think about it so much, she only cared about the military, those prisoners were not qualified soldiers at all in her opinion, and they couldn't sell it for a good price, so it was probably the best choice to let them go farming
"I don't know what the situation is now, Brother Ayan, counting the time, they should have already passed through the Guò Sandru Canyon and are almost about to enter the Screaming Plains, right?" Yun Lan couldn't help but look to the south
"Huh. Worried, right? Yun Feng looked at his wonderful sister in surprise, "Haven't you always been very confident? Since even the Revenant Fortress has been captured, why don't you have confidence in your designated battle plan?" I see, maybe this is the so-called care and chaos
"Big brother" Yun Lan's face was suddenly dyed with a flush. Staring at his eldest brother angrily, and suddenly seeing Shen Hongye who was treating those students not far away, Yun Lan couldn't help but smile, like a little fox who had stolen ten chickens,
"I said big brother. When Sister Momiji was fighting just now, didn't the family also care about it?"
Yun Feng was speechless for a while, looking at this strange elf sister, he really didn't know what to say, but Yun Feng couldn't help but think in his heart, what kind of position was the red leaf in his heart
City of Orphonse.
The incomparably tragic siege battle is like a pound, a huge meat grinder, constantly devouring the flesh and life of both warring parties!
Whether it was Long Ao, the emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, or Prince Ronald, the marshal of the Dark Sun Empire who came to command Augustus City, they undoubtedly knew their opponents very well, and they also knew very well that any conspiracy and trickery actually did not have much meaning. In the end, it is the only one who will divide the winner with their own strength!
"Yun Qing, you gave birth to a good daughter!" Long Ao said with emotion after reading the magic message that he had just turned over, and at the same time handed the military report in his hand to the others to read.
The Yun Xiao in Long Ao's mouth was not here, but the ministers and generals who read this military report were all amazed one by one. In fact, there are not many people who really know Yun Lan's plan, only important ministers like Luo Siwei, and a few generals. Moreover, most of them were not very optimistic about Yun Lan's plan before, after all, it was too risky for 3,000 people to attack the Revenant Fortress defended by 30,000 people.
Seeing this news, the expressions of these ministers and generals were either admiration, suspicion or excitement, or remorse, in short, they were all different, but everyone knew very well that the Qinglong Yun family's power in the military was undoubtedly more stable!
No one would fight Yun Lan's idea, even if someone was jealous in their hearts, but if they were stupid enough to move their minds to the biological daughter of the current head of the Qinglong Yun family, it would be no different from looking for death!
"Okay! That little girl of the Yun family has made a good start for us, I believe that there should be good news coming from Yun Qing soon, even if we are not as good as Yun Qing, but we can't be compared to his daughter, right?" Emperor Long Xiao was obviously very happy, and actually made a rare joke, "Pass the order, step up the siege, this time, I want to leave Ronald, an old friend, in Augustus City."
Forbidden Mountains. Sandru Canyon.
This canyon, which is more than ten miles long, is one of the few safe passages that can pass through the forbidden mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles! It is also the only passage between the Celestial Dragon Empire and the Screaming Plains of the Dark Sun Empire!
Because of this, it is especially important for the two to guard the Revenant Fortress at the throat of Sandru Canyon!
The name of Sandru Canyon is said to come from the legendary mage named Sandru, it seems that in a great war, this legendary mage with extremely powerful power, forced to open up this canyon with a length of more than ten miles in the forbidden mountain range!
The legend has been around for a long time, and some people have deduced from the name of this legendary mage that this Jean Drew should probably be the ancestor of the Dark Sun Empire, and the specific situation is unknown, but since the establishment of the Revenant Fortress, Sandru Canyon has indeed been under the control of the Dark Sun Empire most of the time.
The terrain of Sandru Canyon is extremely steep, as if it was really split alive with a giant axe, and any general who leads his troops to pass by here will probably be involuntarily afraid that this place is too suitable for ambushes!
Lie Yan naturally inevitably felt this way, but he quickly shook his head, "It's right to be cautious. But if you are too suspicious, you are likely to miss the fighter.
According to his and Yun Lan's previous inference, the possibility of them being ambushed on this trip was very small, and the previous siege battle of the Revenant Fortress further confirmed this.
Sandru Canyon is indeed an ideal place for ambushes, yes, but who would be okay to hide in this mountain forest for a long time with an army to ambush them? Especially since the Dark Sun Empire really believes in the defensive power of the Revenant Fortress too much, even if they know that the Revenant Fortress has changed hands, I'm afraid it won't be too late to mobilize an army to react, right?
Thinking of the mage who escaped from the Revenant Fortress that was killed by the rangers just now, although he still let him transmit the magic message, Lie Yan didn't care at all, they were now almost through the Guò Sandru Canyon, and the assembly of the army would take time, no matter how efficient the Dark Sun Emperor's ** team was. It's too late to block them in Sandru Canyon.
Even if the other party receives the news, at most they can only arm in the Screaming Plains. But it's a pity that they have two divisions and a full 20,000 cavalry of the Red Dragon Legion! In a place like the Screaming Plains that is suitable for cavalry battles, even if the opponent's strength is several times that of theirs, how easy is it to stop them? Lie Yan seems to have seen the Screaming Plains being stirred into one by them
It's going to be fast! It's going to be through the Guò Sandru Canyon soon! Lie Yan seems to have seen it, the Screaming Plains is like a beautiful woman who has stripped off her clothes Well, well, this metaphor is not very appropriate, if Lan'er knows, she will definitely soar,,
Uh, wait!What's that?!
Thinking of Yun Lan's smile, Lie Yan couldn't help but show a happy smile on his face, but the next moment. His face suddenly changed!
A blood-red banner appeared in Lie Yan's sight, and the pitch-black sun pattern on it was extremely eye-catching and dazzling!
Scarlet Dark Sun Flag!
It's the army of the Dark Sun Empire!
"It can't be!"
Lie Yan, who was at the forefront, shouted in a lost voice, the Dark Sun Empire had obviously not prepared any before. Otherwise, the other party would not have chosen to intercept them in such a place, but would have ambushed them in the Sandru Gorge a long time ago, in that case, the two cavalry divisions of Lieyan and them would definitely suffer heavy losses!
"Whose army is this, the hell? The garrisons of the smaller* plains could not have been assembled so quickly." Lie Yan's eyes suddenly turned red, but he was not as impulsive as the other members of the family, his strength was average, if he couldn't keep calm at all times, it would be impossible to achieve what he is today.
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince is really wise and powerful, and he has long guessed that there will be problems in the Revenant Fortress, otherwise, if these cavalry are allowed to enter the Screaming Plains, the consequences will be really unimaginable!"
Under the blood-colored dark sun with gold trim embroidered on the largest side, a group of generals were surrounding a young man in his thirties who were constantly flattering, but no one noticed that the back of the young man's head had appeared slightly
Although it is said that the prince deliberately delayed time and deliberately went to support Ronald later, but he didn't expect that the Revenant Fortress was really captured by the Heavenly Dragon Empire, and this ridiculous excuse could actually come true
This second prince knows his own family affairs, of course, this is not his foresight, it is purely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse, originally he used the excuse of not worrying about the defense of the Revenant Fortress, which is a completely unreliable bad excuse. Deliberately delaying the time of support also means disgusting Ronald, anyway, the relationship between their uncle and nephew, no one in the entire Dark Sun Empire is unclear, but the second prince didn't expect that the Revenant Fortress was really captured, and it was also a woman from the Qinglong Yun family. With a force of less than 5,000 men, it was captured in less than half a day,
Originally, he couldn't believe it, thinking that it was a trick used by the generals of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, but after he urgently asked the magician to use detection magic to investigate, it really showed that there were indeed signs of a big battle in the direction of the cold soul, and a red cavalry appeared, which was speeding through the Guò Sandru Canyon!
The second prince, who was taken aback, did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly let his army speed up, and finally took the lead. Blocking the cavalry in Sandru Canyon! It's a real scary to think that if it's a little too late, let these cavalry enter the Revenant Fortress. The consequences are really unimaginable!
However, it didn't take long for the second prince to turn from fear to excitement, although his previous behavior could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. He was deliberately trying to get along with Prince Ronald, but now that he blocked the cavalry of the Celestial Dragon Empire and saved the entire Screaming Plains, it is even understandable that he saved the situation of the entire Dark Sun Empire!
Not only could no one question his seemingly ridiculous excuse now, but as long as he could repel this cavalry, it would undoubtedly be a great merit for the day! I'm afraid that even my eldest brother and that smart and beautiful sister are beyond the reach of the dust, right?
"Damn! it's just a little bit, it's a little bit worse!" Lie Yan was now extremely annoyed in his heart, "As long as it can be a little faster, as long as this army comes a little later"
It's a pity. Lie Yan actually knew in his heart that the march of 20,000 cavalry had reached the extreme, and the ministers couldn't get up quickly, but this damn army. It's really not the right time to come!
The two armies confronted each other, and neither of them attacked. The two divisions here are cavalry, and they can't wield their due strength in this kind of terrain, while this army of the Dark Sun Empire has a full 50,000 people, and most of them are infantry, but it seems that the combat effectiveness should not be as good as the elite like the Red Dragon Legion.
However, no matter how many troops there are, they can only drag on a long line in this kind of terrain, and they will not be able to use it at all, if they really fight, the soldiers at the end of the line, if they don't have ten days and half a month, I'm afraid they won't even be able to see what the enemy looks like."
The second prince doesn't care, anyway, if he blocks this cavalry, he will be a great achievement, and there is no need to engage in another farce-like battle.
But Lie Yan was very embarrassed, and it was obviously unrealistic to fight. If you give up like this, you can't help but think about it!
