Chapter 146: Undefeated General Zetai

Augustus, a city in the northern part of the Darksun Empire. ()

Augustus City is a large military fortress-type city, and its importance is self-evident to the Darksun Empire! It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the most important city in the northern part of the Darksun Empire!

In terms of geographical location and surrounding terrain, Augustus City and Dragon City, the capital of the Celestial Dragon Empire, have some similarities, both of which are in the land of four wars, the northern part of Augustus City is the mortal enemy Huiyue Empire, and the northeast is the Celestial Dragon Empire, which is bent on expanding outward!

And there is also no danger to defend around, although the Dark Sun Empire has expanded the scale of Augustus City more than once, and strengthened the city defenses, but Augustus City does not have the same brilliant record as Dragon City, whether it is Tianlong or Huiyue, the two empires, have captured this fortress city more than once!

At present, in Augustus City, the supreme commander of the Dark Sun Empire, Prince Ronald, actually knows very well in his heart that it is not realistic to defeat the 200,000 Heavenly Dragon army led by Emperor Long Ao himself with Augustus City, and in fact, Prince Ronald has no intention of defending Augustus City.

In fact, the biggest function of Augustus is to delay the opponent's offensive, buy more time for the empire's next war deployment, and at the same time consume the living force of the opponent's army as much as possible!

"It's been another eventful time!"

Prince Ronald is over fifty years old this year, but his long military career, as well as the strength of the sixteenth-level Great Sword Master, whether it is physical or physical, Prince Ronald is no worse than those young people!

But when Prince Ronald stood in the tower of Augustus City, carefully observing the army of the Celestial Dragon Empire swaggering and camping less than ten miles outside the city, especially when he saw the huge three-headed golden dragon banner waving in the wind, his face became even more solemn.

For Long Ao, the emperor of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, I'm afraid that even the secret intelligence department of the Dark Sun Empire doesn't know as much about him as Prince Ronald!

As early as when Long Ao had not yet become the emperor, Ronald was not a prince at that time, and he had fought more than once! Ronald knew very well that His Majesty, the emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, was definitely an opponent that should not be underestimated!

"Even Long Ao, who is the emperor, has personally led the troops to the battle, it seems that the Heavenly Dragon Empire is really well prepared for this war!"

Ronald couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this, as the emperor of the empire, under normal circumstances, he would rarely lead the army in person, obviously if there was no agreement within the Heavenly Dragon Empire, Emperor Long Ao would definitely not leave Dragon City with confidence!

Thinking of the current shape of the Dark Sun Empire, Prince Ronald was helpless for a while, his imperial brother sitting on the throne was actually a nominal emperor now, and his two nephews and a niece were not fuel-efficient lamps......

Compared to Prince Ronald's worries, Long Ao, the emperor of the Tianlong Empire, is full of confidence! The Tianlong Empire has been preparing for this battle for a long time, although Long Ao is still in the prime of life, but after being an emperor for more than 20 years, there have been dozens of wars, but he has almost not gained an inch of land, and Long Ao no longer wants to wait!

"Your Majesty, we can't just stare at the Dark Sun Empire, we also have to be careful of the Huiyue Empire's sneak attack from behind!" reminded Luo Siwei, Minister of Military Affairs, this person is not from an aristocratic family, and it can be said that he is loyal to the emperor.

"It seems that there is no need to worry about this for the time being, Huiyue and Dark Sun are feuds, not to mention that it is impossible for the Bright Sect to form an alliance with the Dark Sect no matter what?" said a red-haired middle-aged general, this Lie Yi is the younger brother of the current head of the Red Dragon Lie Family, and the top general of the 50,000 Red Dragon Legion cavalry who accompanied Emperor Long Ao on the expedition this time.

"It's really impossible for the Holy See of Light to cooperate with the Holy See of Darkness, but it is possible for the Bright Moon Empire to join forces with the Dark Sun Empire!" Emperor Long Ao said with a smile, "The influence of these two Holy Sees on the two Great Empires of Huiyue and Dark Sun has gradually weakened over the years, otherwise, the Holy See of Light would not have gone to great lengths to take over the Duran Kingdom." ”

In fact, Long Ao himself knows very well in his heart that the reason why this happens, in fact, there are many reasons for the Heavenly Dragon Empire, just imagine, with that eloquent emperor, would he be willing to have a pope on an equal footing with him, or even let the church override the imperial power?

If the emperors of other empires are the most envious, I'm afraid it is still the emperor of the Tianlong Empire? There are no religious checks and balances, only need to balance the big families in the country, and the emperor's authority is truly the ultimate!

"Indeed, if you deal with the two empires of Dark Sun and Huiyue at the same time, I'm afraid that the shape will not be optimistic. Luo Siwei said, although the strength of the Heavenly Dragon Empire is stronger than that of Dark Sun and Huiyue, but if there is one enemy and two, then there is no chance of victory, and this has been proven more than once in the previous wars!

"But Lie Yi is not wrong, we don't need to worry too much about the Radiant Moon Empire for the time being, at least they won't take the initiative to intervene until we see the Dark Sun Empire suffer a big loss. Long Ao smiled, "And the academy competition will be held in the Huiyue Empire next month? before that, the Huiyue Empire should not act rashly! We can take advantage of this time to take Augustus City first!"

Emperor Long Ao's gaze looked in the direction of Augustus City from afar, and only a rough outline could be seen with the naked eye at such a distance, but Long Ao knew very well that it would not be easy to capture the fortified city of Augustus, which was guarded by famous generals with heavy troops in such a short period of time!

"It's a little bit tighter, but it's not impossible, but our losses may be a lot higher. Luo Siwei thought for a while and said, he knew that since His Majesty the Emperor had made a decision, then as a courtier, it was his duty to find a way to complete His Majesty's order as much as possible!

"Well, that's also a matter of not having the Fa done. Long Ao said without changing his face, but his eyes were taken away from Augustus City, and he casually looked south, "Moreover, maybe before we capture Augustus City, we will receive another unexpected surprise......

Forbidden Mountains, Revenant Fortresses.

"Strange, what kind of tricks is that little girl of the Yun family playing? More than a hundred people, even if they go around the back of the Revenant Fortress, what's the use?" Zetai, the commander of the Revenant Fortress, was very puzzled.

The rejection of the Forbidden Mountain Range by a large army is already an unquestionable common sense for both the Dark Sun Empire and the Heavenly Dragon Empire, even if it is the Silver Dragon Legion, one of the Five Dragon Legions of the Heavenly Dragon Empire, such a flying force has no way to let the large army pass through the Forbidden Mountain Range safely!

"It may be trying to attract our attention, but the other side doesn't seem to have many troops, and we obviously have an absolute advantage, so why don't we go out and test it?" said a very young-looking staff officer.

"Hahaha......" Most of the others in the room laughed, giving the young man who had just arrived at the Revenant Fortress a kind smile.

"Hehe, young man, do you know that among all the generals of the Dark Sun Empire, there are a few who have fought for more than twenty years, but have never lost once?" Zetai did not answer the young staff officer's question, but said with a smile.

"Never defeated?" Perhaps, His Royal Highness Prince Ronald ......," the young staff officer said with some uncertainty.

"Prince Ronald has also failed in the past, and more than once, as for the most recent one, it should have been almost five or six years ago, and it was Long Ao, the current emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, who defeated him that time!" Zetai smiled and shook his head, "Of course, this does not mean that Prince Ronald is inferior to Long Ao, in fact, in the dozens of confrontations between the two of them, it is Prince Ronald who has won the most." ”

"Then I really can't think of it, and I never heard of it when I was in the military academy. The young staff officer shook his head and said, in his understanding, Prince Ronald is already the most famous general in the empire today, except for him, I really can't think of anyone who can not taste defeat in twenty years! If there is such a general, it should be very famous, but why haven't I heard of it?

"Hahaha, have you seen it this time?" the other staff officers and generals couldn't help but laugh again, "Sue you, that person is our General Zetai!"

"General Zetai?!" the young staff officer suddenly looked surprised, he didn't expect the real answer to be this at all!

"It's incredible, but it's true. Zetai looked at the expression on the young staff officer's face with satisfaction.

"No...... General, I didn't mean that......" The young staff officer hurriedly explained, although he was young, he was not a stunned young man, although he did not believe that General Zetai, who was unknown in the Empire, would have such a shocking record.

"It's normal for you to have this kind of reaction, when it comes to marching and fighting, my comprehensive ability can be ranked at least thirty outside the many generals in the empire. Zetai said unabashedly, "But the fact, among so many generals in the empire, I am really the only one who can really be experienced in a hundred battles and have never been defeated in twenty years!"

The young staff officer's mind was even more confused now, since General Zetai's ability was not outstanding, then why was he still able to go undefeated? The Revenant Fortress could be regarded as a border pass, and it was impossible to be like the Imperial Capital Guards, who would probably not be able to fight for decades.

In fact, the Heavenly Dragon Empire has never given up attacking the Revenant Fortress, after all, as long as you pass through the Forbidden Mountain Range, you can directly enter the Screaming Plains, which is tantamount to a direct stab in the abdomen of the Dark Sun Empire!

Therefore, it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that General Zetai said that he has experienced a hundred battles, and if you think about it carefully, the Revenant Fortress has really never been captured in the past hundred years, and General Zetai has been guarding here for nearly thirty years, and it seems that he has really never failed!

"How? I think it's a little incredible? I'm not very good, but why was I able to achieve such a result?" Zetai's interest seems to be quite high today, and he really values this new young staff officer, which is more valuable than these old fritters who only know how to mix time and seniority in the Revenant Fortress.

"Actually, the reason is very simple, one word, steady! Two words, stubbornly defending! If you want to add two more words, it is 'stubbornly defending'!" Zetai looked at the surprised young staff officer and said with a smile.

"Actually, the reason is very simple, with the defensive ability of the Revenant Fortress, as long as we defend it with all our might, unless the other party mobilizes an army of more than 200,000 to attack it, it is impossible to capture the Revenant Fortress!" Zetai said very confidently, But even then, without ten days and half a month, don't want to succeed at all, by then the empire has already been prepared, and it will be deployed in Andrew Canyon layer by layer, even the Heavenly Dragon Empire will not be able to withstand that kind of attrition, because even if they take the Revenant Fortress and open up the Andrew Canyon, it is impossible to make a difference in the Screaming Plains, and in the end, it is not only to honestly retreat to Shannan Province?"

Hearing Zetai's analysis, the young staff officer kept nodding, in fact, what Zetai said didn't have much new meaning, on this point, whether it was the Dark Sun Empire or the Heavenly Dragon Empire, it had almost become a consensus between the two sides.

"Therefore, it is obviously unrealistic to storm the Revenant Fortress, then the only thing left is to use stratagems, and the Revenant Fortress has been lost twice in history, all because the defender fell for the opponent's tricks and left the Revenant Fortress, so that he would be annihilated by the other party in the wild, or take advantage of the weakness!"

"So, as long as we keep sticking to the Revenant Fortress, no matter how provocative the other party is, as long as we can't hold out, then we will definitely not fail?" The young staff officer's eyes suddenly lit up, indeed, although it is possible to miss the fighter plane by doing so, at least we will not make mistakes, as long as the Revenant Fortress is not lost, victory will always belong to them!

"That's right, that's just the way it is. Zetai said approvingly, "The Revenant Fortress has abundant food stocks, the water source is quite safe, and there is even an arsenal of considerable scale, and the resources around it are quite abundant, even if the supply is completely cut off, it is not a problem to hold on for two or three years!"

"You see that in the past two days, the other party has been playing these tricks, provoking and scolding, pretending that our army has broken out, and falsely spreading military reports...... He even wants to send someone to detour behind our backs, this kind of trick, to be honest, General Ben has seen a lot of things for so many years, although there are some new ideas this time, but the fundamental purpose of the other party is to lure us out of the Revenant Fortress, but unfortunately, no matter how they toss, I will never be able to do it! As long as we don't leave the Revenant Fortress one step, we will definitely not lose!"

"However, the number of the other party does not seem to be large, and the general who led the troops seems to be a woman, maybe this is really a good opportunity......" The young staff officer still seemed to be a little unwilling.

"Hehe, that's just an illusion that the other party came out in order to lure us out of the customs. Zetai looked at the young staff officer with some hatred, "I'm sure there must be ambushes on the other side, but it doesn't matter if I don't know the specific location, I will never go out to fight them in the field anyway." ”

"And don't underestimate the other party's general, did you see that cloud-patterned Qinglong Banner? If I guessed correctly, the other party should be a member of the Qinglong Yun family!" Zetai said solemnly.

"You must not take it lightly because the other party is a woman, this is probably also a conspiracy by the other party to lure us out!" Zetai said, "And the women of the Qinglong Yun family are no worse than men when they fight! Don't you know that the famous queen in the history of the Tianlong Empire is not surnamed Yun!"

The young staff officer stopped talking this time, originally he was not very convinced by Zetai, but now it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy! No wonder General Zetai can become the only undefeated general in the empire, this prudence and steadiness alone is very worth learning!

But then again, since General Zetai has such an outstanding record, why hasn't he been reused? If General Zetai is allowed to defend Augustus City, even if Long Ao, the emperor of the Celestial Dragon Empire, personally leads the army, it is impossible to attack it?

"But the other party's actions in the past two days are indeed a little strange, if the other party is really from the Qinglong Yun family, shouldn't he know that those small actions don't mean anything at all?" Zetai still had some doubts in his heart, "Could it be that the other party didn't ask who the defender of the Revenant Fortress was before attacking?"

"The defender of the Revenant Fortress is the famous 'Iron Bucket General' Zetai, with this person's character, no matter what means we use, it is absolutely impossible for him to go out of the field battle. Yun Lan tapped on the left side of the map with the stick in her hand, where a bust of Zetai was pasted.

"Then why do you have to do so many tricks in the past two days? And you have lost a lot of soldiers, although those are the local garrison troops of Shannan Province, but they are not used to consume like this?" Yun Feng frowned and said with great incomprehension.

"I did this precisely because I knew that the keeper of the Revenant Fortress would be this Zetai. Yun Lan smiled confidently, "Actually, I just want him to think that I tried my best to lure him out of the battle!"

"Okay, I think your goal should have been achieved, but what's the point of doing this? Although the Forbidden Mountain Range is vast, there doesn't seem to be any other road for the army to pass through except for the Revenant Fortress and Andrew's Canyon......?"

"When did I say I was going to give up the Revenant Fortress? Didn't I say it before, my mission is to capture the Revenant Fortress!" Yun Lan stretched out his hand and slapped it on the map, just at the location of the Revenant Fortress.

"Even if that Zetai is unlucky, if he meets Miss Ben, he, the iron bucket general, will make him a rice bucket general this time!"
