Chapter 249: Clever Snake Swallowing Elephant
The news that the Shi family of Yunqi City had annihilated the two ace troops of the Xi family, Cangji Cavalry and Yugang Army, with thousands of cavalry, spread, and the entire Great Jin Dynasty was shaken.
For a long time, the Shi family, who only occupies one city in Yunqi City, has always been considered to be the bottom of the eight great families, but it is only because of the rise of Shi Xuanlai thousands of years ago under the favorable time, place and people that he caught up with the last train of the eight great families.
During the more than 300 years that Shi Xuanlai was alive, the Shi family had the only god powerhouse of the human race, and naturally it was infinitely beautiful and proud, but a hundred years after Shi Xuanlai's death, the Shi family was far from being able to compare with other families due to its sphere of influence and historical background, and its ranking gradually declined, and finally became the most inconspicuous one among the eight families.
The corresponding Daxi family has been a super family second only to the royal Zhan family since the Great Qin Dynasty, and after the fall of the Zhan family, when it comes to historical heritage, there is no force in the world that can be compared with it except for the moon bamboo forest and sea. Someone once said that if it weren't for the fact that Yuzhou, where the Daxi family is located, is far away from Kyoto, and there is still a Xu family that has been enemies for generations from the Zhan family, they may not have the opportunity to go further and become the new royal family.
In the eyes of others, if it weren't for the long-term confrontation between the Daxi family and the Puzhou Fu family and the Fanzhou Xu family, which involved a lot of energy, and Yunqi City was really dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, I am afraid that this Xiongcheng would have changed hands long ago. But being able to be hostile to the two major families at the same time, and still in an advantageous position for most of the time, is enough to show the strength of the Daxi family.
Even in the hands of Fu Linyue, the number one master of the human race, the Daxi family has never suffered such a big loss, and in the eyes of the Daxi family, which is like a giant beast, Yunqi City is just a cunning rabbit, but it is this inconspicuous rabbit in their eyes that the blood of the Daxi family, an unstoppable behemoth, is drenched in blood, which is naturally unacceptable to the Daxi family.
The Daxi family, who had eaten a trench and grown wise, did not take any action against the cavalry of Yunqi City, which captured two cities in a row, but patiently investigated the reason for the annihilation of the two troops of the Yugang Army and the Cangji Cavalry, after all, in the history of the war of the human race, the casualties of a unit reaching more than forty percent can already be called a fiasco or rout, and being completely annihilated can be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime event, especially when it happens to the absolute trump card of Cangji Cavalry, one of the eight horsemen of the Dark Snow.
As the investigation deepened, the reasons for the destruction of these two forces were gradually revealed to the world. The Yugang army obviously encountered a sneak attack by the cavalry of Yunqi City when they camped and slept at night, and first caused panic among the sleeping Yugang army with a dense rain of arrows, causing many sergeants to flee around without having time to put on heavy armor and not take a blade, and because the camp was too dense, many sergeants did not die under the rain of arrows in Yunqi City, but were trampled to death by their colleagues in a panic.
Infantry without heavy armor and blades can be said to be vulnerable to heavily armed cavalry, especially when the battlefield is still located in an open field. Of course, being able to kill Wen Zhanyang, who was at the peak of the hall, showed that there were strong people in this cavalry in Yunqi City.
However, before that, when he raided Luzhou City, Shi Huaichuan, the city lord of Yunqi City, had already appeared and killed Da Xi Wenhuan in the late stage of the Tang Dynasty with one palm, so this was also expected by the Da Xi family. Da Xibo, the head of the Daxi family, is now at the realm of the water moon, and Shi Huaichuan, whose strength was still above him back then, has already crossed the threshold of entering the sainthood, so naturally it will not make people have any surprises.
Compared with the Yugang Army, the fall of Cangji Cavalry is more like a trap that has been planned for a long time, and it also makes everyone in the Daxi family feel blood in their hearts. The 20,000-strong cavalry was somehow led into the narrow Fengyin Valley by the cavalry of Yunqi City, and then was ambushed. Under the dual effect of the unfavorable terrain and the overwhelming crossbows of the opponent, this ace army with a glorious history of tens of thousands of years suffered an unprecedented massacre.
Judging from those corpses, the Shi family of Yunqi City should have researched a new kind of military repeater, this kind of repeater not only has a high muzzle velocity and a long range, but also has a bursting formation on the arrow, which can not only enhance the armor-piercing effect, but also cause a lot of blood loss after entering the human body, many sergeants are hit by two or three of these crossbow arrows in non-lethal parts, and finally die of excessive blood loss.
In these two battlefields, the corpses of the cavalry of Yunqi City were not found, but obviously no one thought that the Shi family had completely annihilated the 50,000 elite soldiers of the Daxi family at the cost of zero casualties, but they occupied the right time and place, and the casualties were far less heavy than the Daxi family, and in the subsequent process of cleaning the battlefield, all the corpses of their own soldiers were taken away and buried separately.
"Although the results of these two battles are quite painful for our Daxi family, we have to admit that this is the result of the combination of Yunqi City's accurate intelligence and meticulous tactics. The other party accurately knew the specific camping location of the Yugang army three hundred miles away from Luzhou City, and was able to immediately rush to Fengyin Valley, which was extremely favorable for them, to set up an ambush after annihilating the Yugang army, which showed that Yunqi City had a very good intelligence system. Of course, in the battle of Wind Sound Valley, the Storm Repeater in the opponent's hand also played a very key role, which is the main reason why we were hit hard this time. ”
The man who was talking, tall, with broad shoulders and broad back, seemed to have an electric light hidden in his deep eyes, and he was extremely capable at a glance, he was the younger brother of Da Xibo, the head of the Da Xi family, and Da Xihong, who was Chinese New Year's Eve nine years old today.
Among the five Da Xibo brothers, Da Xihong can be said to be extremely talented, reaching the realm of the middle of the cold window at the age of twenty-nine, and successfully won the title at the Spring Festival Conference ten years ago;
It's just that as the youngest of the brothers, Da Xihong was still a teenager when his father stepped down from the position of head of the family, so he did not have any qualifications to compete with his brothers for the head of the family. But as a top force that has been inherited for 10,000 years, the old guys of the Daxi Family Elders' Association will obviously not let its pearl be dusted, but continue to cultivate him, becoming the supreme person in charge of the Daxi family's intelligence system, holding the intelligence network of tens of thousands of people in his hands, and can be called the right-hand man of the head of the family, Daxi Bo, and decades later, he is also likely to become a member of the Daxi Family Elders' Association.
Da Xibo, along with a dozen other elders, looked at the man who was standing in the center of the hall and talking, constantly pondering the analysis conclusion he had just reached. Obviously, although the cavalry of Yunqi City has achieved a perfect record, it is more due to their accurate intelligence and use of reasonable tactics, rather than how strong their combat effectiveness is.
Thinking about it like this, the haze that was suppressed in the hearts of everyone in the Daxi family seemed to have been torn apart, and the bright light suddenly poured down.
