Chapter 600: Phoenix Strikes Back
After a day's pursuit, the Phoenix Army once again killed 50,000 enemies. 300,000 Hulu knocked on the pass, and they were killed by the Phoenix Army before they could build an inch. 120,000 Hulu remained forever in the barren grassland, becoming food for the wolves.
The Phoenix Army not only bit the steppe wolf and rode it, but even the tribe that encountered Hulu was unambiguous. Men and women, young and old, no grass grows everywhere they pass. Perhaps from a modern point of view, the Phoenix Army is too cruel and murderous, but in the eyes of people in this era, the grassland Hulu cannot be regarded as a human at all.
Hulu is the same as the wild wolf on the grassland, barbaric and ferocious, endangering Kyushu Huaxia. Killing them is to reduce the population of Hulu and reduce the threat of China in the future. So cruel, so naked.
When the sky is getting dark, when the sun is completely down the horizon. The pace of the Phoenix Army's pursuit slowly stopped, and the 200,000 Phoenix Army gathered again to rest, looking at the stars in the sky and night, everyone showed a knowing smile.
Changle gently took off his helmet and let the green silk scatter. The breeze blows, and the green silk flies. Wisps of swear were attached to her face, and Princess Changle smelled the rich smell of blood emanating from her hair. Gently took out a red thread from his waist and tied up the scattered strands of hair.
She is a golden branch and jade leaf, and she is a princess of a country born with a golden key. In the past sixteen years, she has enjoyed all the luxury and wealth in the world, and she has enjoyed the happiness of the world. Her father sheltered her from the wind and rain, and there were brothers and sisters on the left and right to solve her problems. I don't know when it started, and the days of such carefree are gone.
put down the red makeup, picked up the soldiers, and stepped on the war horse to fight for the country. Sometimes when she is tired, Changle also wants to go back to the palace she misses to live a free life for a few days. But...... The Phoenix Army can't let go, and it can't do without Changle. Without Changle, the Phoenix Army would not be able to reassure the imperial court, and the military headquarters would definitely not be able to eat.
After resting for two hours, Princess Changle slowly stood up. Slowly came to the front of the person with a sword, looking at the endless grassland in front of him, and in that direction, the grassland Hulu hugged his head and scurried. They once again drove away the grassland Hulu, and once again successfully guarded the frontier for the Great Zhou. However, Changle's heart was not happy at all.
Although this time the grassland Hulu is menacing, but the strength it shows is so unbearable. This is not like the rumored steppe wolf ride, and even less like the invincible wolf ride of the Tuye tribe.
If the strength of the steppe Hulu is this, then they cannot become a big problem for the imperial court. The 300,000 army knocked on the pass, but they didn't see the figure of the golden wolf rider, nor did they see any of the generals who made Changle take it to heart. The coach this time turned out to be a stranger who couldn't even name Changle.
"Is it just for the sake of temptation, and what can be the result of such a temptation?" Princess Changle muttered to herself.
Suddenly, Princess Changle's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly turned around, only to see more than a dozen speeding figures appear in the sky in the distance. In the dark night, there are not many people who can see things, and someone like Princess Changle who can see her face clearly must at least take half a step to the realm of the unity of heaven and man.
The Phoenix Army has become vigilant, and many of them have already turned over and mounted their horses. But when the other party approached, the spear in his hand relaxed again. The person who came was also the Phoenix Army, and it was also a well-known attire.
"Get out of the way—get out of the way—eight hundred miles in a hurry—" The visitor shouted wildly, and the Phoenix Army in front of him quickly got out of the way, allowing the knight to rush straight to Changle.
"Ritsu-" Before he could get closer, the horse suddenly raised its front hooves and brought out the weeds in the sky. With a mournful neigh, the horse foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground after the final outburst. In the face of the death of the war horse, the knight didn't even care about it, and rolled down from the horse to Princess Changle in a panic.
"Princess, Xuanzhou is eight hundred miles urgent, please ...... But when the knight finished saying this, he suddenly held his breath in his chest, and his eyes rolled and twitched violently like a war horse.
Changle snatched the letter and hurriedly opened it, and then the faint starlight only glanced at it, and Changle Gongzi's pink face became as white as paper. The fingers were released, and the eight-hundred-mile rush slowly fell like a snowflake.
"Princess...... What's wrong?What's going on in Xuanzhou?" Heihuang asked with a nervous look on his face and hesitation.
Luo Tiancheng ...... The Daredevil Army invaded Xuanzhou early this morning and took Phoenix City directly. By the time this urgent letter was sent, the Daredevil had already broken through three cities in a row. Judging from the strength of the Xuanzhou defenders and our army, they will definitely not be able to resist the Night Demon Army.
According to my estimates, the Daredevil army should have been under Phoenix at this moment. Even if we return immediately, it's too late, Phoenix City will definitely not survive the dawn!"
"What?Daredevil?, how is that possible?" exclaimed Black Phoenix's eyes widened in shock.
"I hope it's impossible, but is the eight-hundred-mile rush just a joke? Moreover, the timing of this steppe knock is too strange. The momentum came violently, but it went away in such a mess, and the number and strength were seriously incompatible. Fear...... Luo Tiancheng and Allah Khan have reached some kind of agreement......"
"That'...... So what are we going to do? Even if we rush back now, Phoenix will definitely be lost......"
"Order! Pull out the camp! Let's go back immediately, even if Phoenix City is taken by the Night Demon Army, we will take it back! Luo Tiancheng, okay you Luo Tiancheng, where is the court sorry for you?"
Princess Changle's last sentence was squeezed out of her throat almost through gritted teeth. The Daredevil enjoy the best treatment from top to bottom, the best equipment, and the highest status. Changle couldn't figure it out, wasn't Luo Tiancheng satisfied with being a general, did he still want to be the emperor?
A ray of white light appeared in the eastern sky, and after a night of marching, the night demon army led by Luo Tiancheng also approached the city of Tongsand Castle. The defenders on Tongsha Castle are the elite of the Phoenix Army, and naturally they are not comparable to the defenders of other cities.
The Daredevil army has not yet approached, and the Phoenix army in Tongsha Castle has already discovered the enemy situation and made preparations for battle. In just one tea time, all 30,000 defenders gathered and arrived at their respective combat positions.
The sophisticated logistics troops operated quickly, and all the equipment to defend the city was delivered in place. In an instant, a protective barrier as red as blood mist and flames rose on the entire wall of Tongsha Castle, so vivid and dazzling in the still dark night.
Luo Tiancheng didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, marched all night, and stopped five miles outside Tongsha Castle. and ordered people to make fire, and it looked like I was coming for a picnic.
"Brother Luo, we galloped all night and finally arrived at Tongsha Castle, why did we stop and pause our morale? The morale is strong, why don't we capture Tongsha Castle in one go? Stop now, this is not a chance for the enemy to prepare?"
"From within ten miles of us, the castle is already getting ready. They are the Phoenix Army, and it is impossible to be so dull.
My lord, after a night of marching, our army has become a tired army. Yesterday we fought for a day, and then we hurried all night. The soldiers have long been exhausted, and at this time the siege of the city will definitely be frustrated, and once they are frustrated, their morale will definitely be low.
I ordered the soldiers to make a fire to cook and rest for a while, and then they fought again to capture Tongsha Castle with a better chance of victory. Tongsha Castle is no better than other cities, and the people who remain in Tongsha Castle are not the servant army of the Phoenix Army, but the real elite of the Phoenix Army. It is definitely not possible to take down the sandcastle as smoothly as before. ”
"Hmph!" Xuanyin Sect Master's face lowered a little unpleasantly, and he clenched his fists gently, "To break through the Phoenix Army's defenses, these fists of mine alone are enough! Even if the Phoenix Army is one of the three elite and strong armies, our 200,000 attacks on them are not enough to capture them?"
"My lord, marching to battle is not simply a matter of numbers and strength, there are many factors......
"Okay, don't talk so much about me! Since I said that you will lead the march and fight, I will not interfere with it. But there is only one requirement for this seat, to march to Lizhou as soon as possible, and the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us!"
"The minister understands, but please don't be impatient!" Luo Tiancheng bowed his head and bowed in response, but his brows were already wrinkled involuntarily.
The Xuanyin Sect Master is outstanding in terms of mind, wisdom, and means. However, there is a specialization in the art industry, and the Xuanyin Sect Master cannot be omnipotent even if he is a genius. As for leading the troops to fight, the Xuanyin Sect Leader is still talking on paper.
However, the Xuanyin Sect Master was too strong. A strong dictator must be conceited, so although he shouts not to interfere, his actions are interfering all the time. Luo Tiancheng was a little uneasy in his heart, and he even doubted that if the battle was frustrated, would he directly interfere with his command?
The sky gradually brightened, and a little morning glow loomed in the sky. It took half an hour to make a fire and make food, and the Daredevil Army also washed away the fatigue of the body, and once again glowed with a strong fighting spirit. After all, the opponent they faced this time was no longer the rabble before, but the Phoenix Army, which was on the same level as them and had been shaking the grassland for twenty years.
The sense of accomplishment of defeating the defenders, where is the coolness of defeating the Phoenix Army? Capturing Tongsha Castle can make them happier than capturing ten Phoenix Cities. With such a mood, with Luo Tiancheng's order, all the night demon armies quickly assembled.
More than a dozen phalanxes slowly fanned towards the Tongsha Castle. The sky was covered with black fog, blending with the clouds in the sky. The morning sun that had just been revealed was quickly shrouded in dark clouds. Black clouds overwhelm the city, and the sky is full of slaughter. With the sacrifice of the Daredevil Army's military array, the Phoenix Army on the city wall also suddenly erupted with a scorching momentum.
Like a flame soaring into the sky, like blood and fire, although small, it still has the momentum of unyielding heaven and earth. Luo Tiancheng looked at Tongsha Castle with a hint of approval in his eyes. is worthy of the Phoenix Army, and it didn't disappoint him.
Luo Tiancheng raised his hand gently, and the army behind him suddenly dispersed, and one by one Shenwei cannons were pushed to the front of the formation. Although Luo Tiancheng really wants to fight with the Phoenix Army in an upright manner, he will not violate the principle of winning the maximum result at the least cost.
He has Shenwei cannons, but the Phoenix Army does not. This is an advantage, so Luo Tiancheng will never give up his advantage.
