Chapter Fifty-Eight: No Grass Grows
The sky has just dawned, and this side of Yujingshan is lively.
Before dawn, Li Yunyi asked the sergeant to bury the pot to cook, and after dawn, he ate a few bites, in addition to the five hundred sergeants left behind, the one hundred Shengong battalion, and the other military camp was left, and the rest of the army all went down the mountain.
The road up the hill was covered with thirty earthen walls, but each left a gap, and the sergeants were well disciplined, and quickly descended the hill to converge. As soon as they descended the mountain, countless sergeants were frightened, because hundreds of meters below the mountain were neatly lined up with groups of cavalry, and these cavalry were not riding war horses, but huge blood wolves.
"Blood Wolf Cavalry!"
Countless troops exclaimed, the prestige of the blood wolf cavalry during this time resounded throughout Jingguo, I didn't expect to come here suddenly? The fierce aura emanating from the huge blood wolves scared those soldiers into weakness, for fear that these blood wolves would rush to bite them to death and swallow them alive.
The Blood Wolf Cavalry stood silently, each of them with stripes of red-green pastel painted on their faces, their hair coiled up, and bird feathers inserted, looking very strange, somewhat like the rumored Witch Clan.
Li Yunyi went down the mountain, sat on the sliding pole, Fu Gonggong was by his side, the two hundred divine bow battalions were guarded, and Xiao An Zijiang and Xiao Cicada Chunya did not come down. After Li Yunyi's sliding rod appeared, the blood wolf cavalry in the distance moved, slowly approaching, and the sergeants here all nervously picked up their weapons, but they were reprimanded by their commander and put them down.
Gonggong Fu hugged Li Yunyi into the chariot, and the chariot slowly moved forward to the front of the army. The blood wolf cavalry advanced more than two hundred meters, lined up in ten rows, and stood in front of the chariot. A burly general sitting on the Blood Wolf King raised his hand and shouted, "Blood Wolf Battalion, get off the wolf!"
"Brush, brush!"
All the cavalry on the blood wolf leaped down and stood beside the blood wolf, and the burly man raised his hand again, and all the sergeants knelt down neatly. The burly general knelt down on one knee and shouted: "The last general will see Your Highness! The Blood Wolf Battalion has set out for one thousand and five people, twenty-one people have been killed, and the remaining nine hundred and eighty-four people have completed the task of cutting off the grain road of Cai Guo, and asked to return to the camp." ”
"Permission to return to camp!"
Li Yunyi bowed slightly, and his loud voice resounded throughout the army: "The sergeants of the Blood Wolf Battalion, you have done a good job, this king will thank you on behalf of the thousands of people of Jingguo!"
Ding Yu took out his weapon, stood up, and shouted: "The blood wolf is on the march, and there is no grass to live!"
More than 900 sergeants neatly drew their swords and raised them high, and then roared: "The blood wolf is going on the expedition, and there is not a single grass to live!
More than 900 people shouted loudly, which shook the eardrums of all the sergeants behind them, and also shook the blood of those sergeants.
Countless sergeants showed shock and disbelief in their eyes, they never expected that the world-famous blood wolf cavalry was actually Li Yunyi's army?
Li Yunyi waved his hand, the chariot turned, he looked at the army behind him, his eyes swept over the dense army like a knife, he looked at it for a while, and roared in a deep voice: "Soldiers, the army of Cai Guo is wreaking havoc on our territory, their cavalry is trampling on our territory, and their butcher knives are slaughtering our people. Their army has arrived outside Jingcheng and is now attacking our royal capital. As a sergeant of Jingguo, you eat the food of Jingguo, receive the salary of Jingguo, the country is in trouble, and the people are sinned, what should you do?"
Xiong Jun was very troublesome, he pulled out his weapon and roared: "We should guard Jingguo, fight bravely to kill the enemy, shroud the body of the horse, and repay the country with death!"
The Shaking Mountain Battalion immediately followed and shouted: "Defend Jingguo, bravely kill the enemy, shroud the body of the horse, and repay the country with death!"
The remaining more than 10,000 troops were infected, and they shouted: "Defend Jingguo, fight bravely to kill the enemy, shroud in horse leather, and repay the country with death!"
"Good!"
Li Yunyi didn't continue to talk nonsense, he waved his hand and said: "Advance at full speed, and the whole army will follow this king to help Jingcheng." The Blood Wolf Camp cleared the way and cleared the road of all scouts. ”
"Obey!"
The sergeant of the Blood Wolf Battalion jumped on the Blood Wolf, and with a wave of Ding Yu's hand, the Blood Wolf Battalion turned into a torrent and rushed forward. Then there was Li Yunyi's chariot and Shenbow battalion, behind was the Shaking Mountain battalion, and finally the more than 10,000 miscellaneous troops.
Yujingshan is only a few dozen miles away from Jingcheng, and if the whole army advances at full speed, it can be reached in more than an hour. This is still because the speed of the miscellaneous army behind is not fast, if it is the blood wolf battalion, it is estimated that it will arrive in half an hour.
......
"Kill!"
The battle had already started on Jingcheng's side, and the army of Cai Guo was swarming like a tide, with 10,000 infantry all pressed on it, and 10,000 cavalry followed. Ladders, siege vehicles, and stone-throwing vehicles kept up with all kinds of siege equipment, and arrows rained down.
The city wall of Jingcheng was densely packed with troops, in addition to the five hundred royal forest troops left behind to guard the palace, and one thousand troops as reserves, the remaining more than six thousand troops, as well as thousands of young people in the city, were on the city wall.
Jingcheng is the royal capital, and there are many kinds of defense equipment, such as divine crossbows, stone throwing vehicles, and city defense crossbows. Wood, rolling stones, fire oil, and other equipment were piled up on the city wall, and bundles of bows and arrows were brought up in a steady stream, and the rain of arrows covered the sky and the sun like a swarm of locusts.
There was no tentative attack on Cai Guo's side, and it was a fierce attack as soon as it came up. Cai Guo's army knew very well that Black Rock City was attacking regardless of casualties, and the sooner they captured Jingcheng, the fewer Sergeant Cai Guo would die. The situation in Jingcheng has long been investigated, there is no need to play those voids, just attack directly.
Cai's army attacked two city walls, and the battle was fierce, and Cai's army suffered more than 1,000 casualties in just half an hour. Of course, there were nearly 1,000 casualties on Jingguo's side, and the morale of both sides was very strong. On the other side, it is the defense of the national capital, which is a battle to destroy the country.
Li Yunyu went up to the city wall, but he only turned around to let the sergeants know that he had come, and he went down. He is not the fourth prince Li Yunxiang, although his combat power is good, reaching the ninth grade, but he has never fought with the army, so he naturally can't stand this bloody scene, plus he is afraid that there will be a grandmaster in the enemy army, if he is locked at that time, a few masters of the ninth rank around him may not be able to stop him.
Li Yunyu did not return to King Jing's Palace, but lived in a courtyard near the West City Gate, so that he could grasp the military situation at any time. He was followed by Wu Tiance, Cao Li, Yu Gonggong and other eight nine-rank masters, and there were four nine-rank masters such as Wei Gonggong in the palace to protect Li Hongtu.
The entire army of Jingcheng was commanded by Qu Tianying, the marquis of the first rank army and the general of the Jingcheng Guard Army. This general was transferred from the border army, and there was no problem in commanding the army, as long as there was no grandmaster in the enemy army, with Qu Tianying's ability and the defense of Jingcheng, he would definitely be able to hold it.
"Report that the enemy army attacked the western city wall, but was defeated by General Qu's troops. ”
"Report, the enemy army has attacked the southern city wall and has been suppressed by General Chen's troops. ”
Military reports continued to come, and Li Yunyu sat expressionlessly, his fists clenched and loosened continuously, and he could see the tension in his heart. After all, he is not the real lord of the country, he has not even sat on the position of the crown prince, let alone experienced on the battlefield, the first time he faced such a tragic battle situation, and it is also a matter of life and death for Jingguo, he is naturally very nervous.
"Report!"
An hour passed again, and an eight-rank master suddenly leaped in, knelt down on one knee in front of Li Yunyu, and roared: "Regent, there is a grandmaster in the army of Cai Guo, it is King Cai's grandfather, King Min, he disguised himself as an ordinary sergeant and attacked the southern city wall!"
"Cai Min!"
Li Yunyu stood up suddenly, his body trembled, and his face turned pale. There is indeed a grandmaster in Cai Guo's army, and Cai Guo vowed to take Jingcheng this time and kill him Li Yunyu.
Father-in-law Yu beside him immediately said: "Your Highness, quickly withdraw, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late." ”
Li Yunyu paced back and forth for a moment, his eyes swept over Wu Tiance, Cao Li and the others and said, "Go, go, you go with this king, and leave immediately." ”
Wu Tiance stood up and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you and Gonggong Yu will leave in the flying beast first, and Benhou will go to meet this King Min for a while." ”
"Marquis Wu?"
Li Yunyu's gaze swept over, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't follow this king to evacuate? If you die in battle, who will be in command of Heilongtai?"
Heilongtai is the most powerful intelligence agency in Jingguo, it is the eyes and ears of the lord of the country, without the lord of Heilongtai he is blind and deaf, Li Yunyu naturally wants to take Wu Tiance with him.
Wu Tiance smiled and said, "Your Highness, if Jingcheng falls, what's the point of keeping Heilongtai?" Your Highness take care, the old minister is gone." ”
After speaking, Wu Tiance's body rose to the sky and rushed out of the courtyard directly. As soon as he left, Cao Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, also bowed down and said, "Your Highness cherishes it, and Weichen will go to help Marquis Wu." ”
"Cao Li!"
Li Yunyi was furious, the duty of the Imperial Forest Army was to protect the lord of the country and the children of the royal family, Cao Li, as the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, did not follow and protect him? He did not give the order, Cao Li actually went to war without authorization? He said angrily: "You don't follow this king? Are you going to rebel?"
Cao Li paused, bowed and said, "Your Highness, the duty of the Imperial Forest Army is to protect the lord of the country. The current lord of the country is in the palace, and Weichen naturally can't follow His Highness to leave, so His Highness takes care. ”
After saying that, Cao Li's body took off directly, Li Yunyu was so angry that he trembled, and before he could speak, three more masters of the Nine Grades said and left directly, and finally there were three Nine Rank Masters left. Li Yunyu's eyes flickered, and he roared: "They are going to die, let them go, let's go!"
Li Yunyu quickly went to King Jing's Palace with the three Nine Rank Lords, and soon the huge flying beast rose into the air, circled around the palace, and turned into a black arrow and broke through the sky to the west.
In November of the 244th year of the Jingguo calendar, King Min of Cai led an army of 20,000 to raid Jingcheng. Li Yunyu, the regent of Jingguo, abandoned the city and fled. Wu Tiance, the head of the Black Dragon Terrace, and Cao Li, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, stayed behind to meet the Grand Master of Cai Guo.
