Chapter 366: The Praying Mantis Catches the Cicada
The second prince had already received the report of the messenger scout and was worried, and Kexili suddenly became even more anxious as soon as he came.
"How is this good when the hussar general is captured?" the second prince stomped his feet in the big tent.
The Great Ancient Dynasty's westward expedition relied on Zhan Qingyu's reputation and cohesion, so how did he go about being captured in the first battle? How did he explain to the people of the world and to hundreds of thousands of soldiers?
Zhan Qingyu saved the life of the second prince, Jiuxiao sold his life for the second prince, how can he not save it now that he is trapped in the enemy city. The second prince was in a hurry, and there was a faint stream of heat in his heart, but he forcibly pressed it.
Come on, anxious about the generals' big tent.
Dawn, the third day of the siege.
Before the night had completely receded, a soldier came to report that the two generals of Ziyu and Hongyu visited the enemy camp at night and were captured by Demosia and both. The second prince roared loudly, and his blood gushed: "Spread the word that our army ordered the whole army to gather and immediately attack the city! If you don't take this pass, rescue the three generals and never retreat!"
"Whoa!"
Countless soldiers began to flock to Mingyue Pass, standing on top of the war horse in the chaos, the second prince carefully calculated, laid out surprise soldiers and formations, and waited for the result of the war.
Zhan Qingyu's 30,000 army, excluding the troops that were killed by the impact of Demosia There are more than 20,000 people, plus the 40,000 troops of the second prince himself, all of which are here. The second prince did not use General Fan's response troops, and he had more far-reaching arrangements.
The siege began, in order to save the hussar general.
After the bright moon pass, the mountain is condescending, and it is as solid as a rock on three sides. The second prince personally commanded from the morning light to the sunset, and there were countless casualties on both sides.
There are still 30,000 of the 70,000 army left, and there is a thick layer of corpses under the wall of Mingyue Pass, there are soldiers of the Xuan Kingdom, but more of them are warriors of the Great Ancient Dynasty. These warriors fought bravely for the Jiuxiao General in their hearts, and stubbornly blocked waves of hot oil and rolling wood and stones with their bodies, interpreting the unyielding and cruel war to the extreme.
Demosia personally went to the head of the city to confront the second prince, and the tungsten iron arrow broke the siege formation of the second prince many times, and the army of the ancient kingdom was brave but never reached the top of the city.
"Retreat!" Under the cover of the fire, the second prince ruthlessly gave an order, and the Lord of Mingyue Pass would be on par with him, occupying a dangerous place, but it was superior.
As soon as the second prince withdrew, Demosia opened the city gate and chased after him all the way, and slashed and killed thousands of soldiers of the ancient kingdom. Outside the Bright Moon Pass, blood flowed like a river, corpses and bones wailed everywhere, and Demosia showed a smile that she hadn't seen for a long time.
"If you don't offend my big entrance, I will never attack, if you are self-assured, this will be the result. Surround me on three sides!"
"Wow!" The cavalry rushed out of the ambush on three sides, cutting off the retreat of the second prince, and the second prince was attacked on all sides by the side of Demothia.
This is the same situation as Zhan Qingyu's previous situation, the old trick of the two-gun tiger is repeated.
"Tonight, your ancient army will be wiped out! Kill me!" Demosia waved his hand.
There is no suspense in this defeat, after all, the second prince is too young, even if he has the qualifications of a military god, he can't resist Demosia's attacks from all sides. After these few hours, Xuanguo made the army of the ancient kingdom disappear under the command of Demosia with a pass of soldiers.
The journey to the west will come to an end, and the Great Ancient Dynasty will be in a state of collapse from now on. At this time, the second prince didn't have a trace of fear, he smiled contemptuously at Demosia A fluorescent order flag appeared in his hand, and there seemed to be thousands of troops rushing towards Mingyue Pass between the waves.
Suddenly, Demosia felt that something was wrong: "Do you have any ambush that you can't do?"
The second prince sneered and laid down his already well-thought-out back hand. In a trance, countless armies rushed out from behind the mountain peaks, from among the trees, from within the camp of the second prince, and surrounded Demosia with a larger encirclement.
After the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind, Demosia, who has always thought that he is a praying mantis, learned the art of war of the second prince for the first time - Sima Art of War.
"Huhu!" In the chaos, the flag of the second prince fluttered, and General Fan led his men and horses to surround the Xuanguo troops.
"Shoot! Woo woo!" The Brahma crossbow let out a deadly roar, killing the hesitant Xuanguo troops in a daze. When Demosia came to his senses, tens of thousands of soldiers had fallen, and at this time, the second prince took the long knife of the command flag and rushed to kill from the inside out.
Attacking from both sides, he reversed the tide of the battle while fleeing, and besieged Demosia with a wider encirclement, and the second prince deserved to be the marshal of the god of war. And the Apocalypse General easily detoured with one man and one bow, and shot down many middle-level generals between the gallops of his horse.
As soon as the middle-level generals fell, the Xuanguo army was even more chaotic, although Demosia suppressed it as the main general could not prevent the inevitable defeat. The few warriors of the Xuan Kingdom have been frightened by the momentum of the flanking attack, and in a hurry, they will miss their hands and guns, and mistakenly injure their own people.
Demosia, who was attacked on both sides, was much more under pressure from the enemy on all sides than the second prince, and the army he ambushed had already won the battle, but he didn't expect the second prince to be able to use such a move. Is this Jiuxiao's routine, why is it so similar?
He had already sent someone to find out what was going on in Jinhua, and those newly trained soldiers wouldn't be so quick to go into battle, right? Looking again, Demosia found that there was a special force within the encirclement.
This force numbered only three thousand, but it had a powerful lethality, and the Brahma crossbow and light armor were all in one color, but their faces were pink under their helmets. When did the Great Ancient Dynasty have these female soldiers, and they were all brave and good at fighting, and they were agile?
"The deeper you hide, or the Nine Heavens layout is huge?" Demosia didn't know, but he had to break through for now.
As long as you can break out of the encirclement, you can continue to guard the Mingyue Pass, and as long as you are alive, no one in the ancient kingdom will want to step into the Xuanguo. Without Emperor Chen and without Zhan Qingyu, Demosia did not think that anyone in the Great Ancient Dynasty could capture the Mingyue Pass.
The second prince attacked in both directions with an ambush array on ten sides and an eight-gate golden lock array outside, and General Fan on the periphery attacked Xuanguo for a while, and the soldiers were bound to flee to the inner circle, and the encirclement was narrowed.
As soon as the second prince and the eight gates of the golden lock formation turned, the soldiers of the Xuanguo Kingdom wanted to break through again, but the ambush on all sides retreated them again. Thousands of soldiers were killed between advance and retreat, and Demosia roared.
With about 10,000 elites, he fought hard to break the net, and directly attacked a place, and after the 50,000 soldiers he poured out of the nest lost 30,000, he finally broke out of the siege and fled back to the city with an arrow.
The rest of the soldiers died and fled, and the surrender of surrender, and the second prince defeated the Demosia army in a battle. Although there were countless casualties, it also gave the two-speared tiger a blow to the head, and my ancient dynasty was bound to break through the barrier and take the road to the Western Regions.
Demosia retreated, and fled with all his might, and in a panic, regrouped the defenders. The bow and crossbow were transported to the city again, and they hurried to a room.
"Both!" said Demosia softly, "help me retreat to the ancient army and return your freedom." ”
