Chapter Seventy-Six: Swift as the Wind
Bai Gongzi did not mean to reject the Mo family, but she never said nonsense.
The meaning of this sentence is that the Mo family must pay a sufficient price.
......
Yuan Chi and Magellan walked in the Tiger Pass.
It's an empty city.
The battle of the past was still in the city, the pungent blood had not yet dissipated, and the soil on the ground was a deep dark red, where the blood flowed.
The Nine Emperors didn't know what was going on here, but his heart was filled with a sense of foreboding.
Although it should be relaxing to see that there is no enemy in the Tiger Pass that has been taken away by outsiders, the most terrible thing in the war is that the enemy has done something that he did not expect, and Yuan Chi has always been uneasy in his heart.
A gust of wind blew silently, and the mountains of clouds surging in the sky were like a moving ink painting, and there was a dead silence in the Tiger Pass.
"What's going on here?"
"I don't know. ”
Magellan's answer was more like a mockery in Yuan's ears, but he didn't care about fighting back.
"It looks like the defenders here are strong. ”
Yuan Chi smiled helplessly: "But they were completely defeated. ”
There was not a single living person in the city, and in a clearing outside the north gate, there were burned corpses and armor.
On the way into Tiger Pass, they had already seen the battlefield where part of the defenders had been annihilated, and from the blood-stained meadows where banners and valuables were discarded everywhere, the Nine Emperor Princes could see the process of the complete defeat of this completely lost fighting spirit, and there was no doubt that it was a one-sided massacre.
Standing at the head of the north gate, overlooking the battlefield, Yuan Chi's face became even more gloomy.
The army defending the city put up a stubborn resistance at the north gate, and the city was covered with blood, compared to which the battlefield outside the city was a joke.
Outside the south gate, the flags and weapons and armor were discarded, and finally the reluctant valuables were discarded, random and scattered, almost everywhere, even the frightened sheep were not as good.
"It's a shame. ”
"I have to go. ”
Magellan jumped off the city and walked towards the mountains of clouds in the distance, quickly disappearing into the fog.
Now, Yuan Chi is the only one left in this silent city.
He walked back and forth on the top of the city, did he raise his head to look at Magellan's back in the distance, and after a long time, he finally figured out why he was in such a hurry to enter the Gate of Fallen Heaven.
No matter why the outsiders left the Tiger Pass, the biggest trouble in front of him was the Fallen Heaven Gate, and it was hard to say whether they left so decisively because they were sure that soon their companions would walk out of the Fallen Heaven Gate and regain control of the Tiger Pass.
But Yuan Chi still had countless doubts in his heart, and the smoothest situation in his imagination was nothing more than that, but the doubts in front of him were like a fog, casting a shadow on the heart of the Nine Emperor Princes.
He turned and kicked away a bright red gravel in a pool of blood and walked down the city.
Huguan is not an ordinary city, it is more like a military camp in comparison.
As a fortress that guards the Gate of Heaven, the streets of the city are a complex labyrinth of visual deceptions and logic traps, and at the center of it all is the Grand Campus.
Yuan Chi walked all the way, whether it was the soldier's residence or the armory, all the traces left by the battle, but the farther away from the city gate, the fewer the traces, it was obvious that outsiders entered the city from the north and south gates at the same time, and the battle ended quickly, and when they advanced to the vicinity of the big school field, there was no one still resisting.
Then Yuan Chi turned a corner at a strange angle and walked into the big school field.
Outsider's armor is neatly laid out there.
The iron armor was still there, but it was empty, like a forest of tombstones, the wind blew gently, and the hollow sound echoed in the clearing.
......
Bingchen ordered the march to be stopped.
In the twilight, the knights, dressed only in black leather armor, jumped off their horses, took the loot from the tiger pass from their horses, lit a fire, and reluctantly set up a simple camp.
They almost completely abandoned camping just to save time.
After a brief preparation, the rest of the horses, except for a few groups of vigilant rangers, began to feed the horses.
They took the food from their side, fed the fine ones to the horses around them, and picked up the rough and hard ones and stuffed them into their mouths.
Bingchen fed the horses like his knights, and he caressed the horses' necks absentmindedly while thinking about the war that had just begun.
Huguan's change of hands was an accident, but not to the extent that Bingchen was caught off guard, in other words, this unexpected victory was not enough to change the predicament they faced.
Bingchen has always been very sober, he knows that this invincible cavalry that will not lose to any enemy, the biggest enemy will only be the lack of logistics supplies, and when he saw the rudimentary armor of the demon cavalry, he knew that it was difficult for him to rely on the enemy's food, and he could only endure the constraints of logistics everywhere.
For the top heavy cavalry war horses with such terrifying size and strength, the real horror is not their appetite, but their strict food requirements, as for everyone is a human being, knights who can carry heavy armor on their backs can almost ignore their mounts.
And the more powerful the person, the more difficult it is to endure hunger, and the more explosive the power, the more difficult it is to maintain that kind of strength for a long time, these may be far better than all the war horses in the whole world, and they do not have the ability to take the knights on a long journey.
In other words, if the enemy is strong, Bingchen and his invincible army will be drowned in the quagmire of hunger.
So after capturing the Tiger Pass, Bingchen barely stopped for a moment and left with the cavalry.
They took away all the food in the Tiger Pass, and even gave up the armor for this, even so, Bingchen still did not have the confidence to get out of the wilderness.
It's too much like a prairie.
Bingchen had defeated many enemies in such a wilderness before, and he could feel from the temperature and humidity of the wind that this was a grassland.
And that is a desert to this army, but to their enemies it is a land of horses.
But Bingchen firmly believes that he will not lose this war.
If an invincible cavalry that is the most powerful in the world will lose, it means that its commander is a joke, and obviously, Bingchen is not.
He has the tenacity of a wolf and the spirit of a tiger, and almost the moment he sees the predicament in front of him, he knows what to do.
So Bingchen took this invincible army and left the Tiger Pass that he had just captured, and he didn't clean the battlefield at all, but just set the dead bodies on fire.
They even left their invincible full-body heavy armor in the school yard in Huguan City.
Only in this way can the physical strength of the war horse be preserved to the maximum, which is the necessary price for victory.
