"General, there's a big army passing by. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"A soldier reported to Randes that at this time, Randes's troops had finally reached the province of Cavas, and after passing through the province of Cavas, and then passing through the provinces of Black Sand, Derinx, and Mogusi, they would enter the range of the capital of the Great Shang Emperor.
"Lord Huang, what do you think?" Landers called Huang Fei on the side, at this time Huang Fei's hands were still tied, according to Landes, when to defeat Simon Republic, when can Huang Fei be untied, this is one of the small additional conditions for Robben's army to help the big merchants.
"Well, there are a lot of people passing by. Huang Fei looked at the messy marks on the ground and said seriously, nonsense, there are so many traces on the ground and you still need to say it? Landers was about to get angry, but found that Huang Fei was staring in the northeast direction.
Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, are you already here?
Huang Fei said properly, "General Landes, this trace is the army of Xuantie City, please order to chase it immediately." ā
"How can you conclude that this is the army of Xuantie City, not the army of Aosong, or the army of the Great Shang?" Landers is very strange, it is indeed easy to see from the messy footprints that this army is a mixture of cavalry and infantry, but to say which unit it is from the footprints, this is a bit too mysterious, Landers does not think that the feet of the soldiers of Xuantie City are more special than the feet of soldiers from other countries in the Imperial Continent.
"Intuition. Huang Fei didn't want to tell Landers the real answer, there was a shallow layer of horseshoe prints on the ground, it was obvious that the horse's hooves should be wrapped in something, the purpose was to hide his whereabouts, for the weakness of the Xuantie City army that was afraid of night attacks, I am afraid that only Rick Wolf came up with such a method as a horseshoe wrap, so it seems that Rick Wolf should lead the team.
"Let's go" Landers rode on the back of the horse in annoyance, shouting loudly, he glanced at Huang Fei behind him thoughtfully, and whipped him fiercely.
The more he came into contact with this Lord Huang, the more Landers felt that he was terrible, Huang Fei's ability to analyze things was far beyond others, it seemed that in the battle of Weishuihe three years ago, the meritorious service of this quartermaster of the Western Army was not a coincidence at all, but completely from that kind of meticulous control......
Landers didn't notice that even though he quickened the speed of the war horse under him, Huang Fei, whose hands were tied, still stepped on a slow pace and followed him with ease.
Under the city of Shangdu
A fierce offensive and defensive battle had just ended, and the Dashang defenders once again repelled the attack of Lin Bing's rebels.
The battlefield was littered with the corpses of the Iron Shield Legion, and in the sunlight, the ground had not yet dried up with blood, glowing a dazzling scarlet.
Lin Bing thought that the main force of the Shangdu city defense army had come out, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled were not worth mentioning, but after attacking for three days, he lost nearly 30,000 people, and until now there is still no soldier who can stand on the head of the Shangdu city, and now he is a little hesitant, if he really captures Shangdu, he doesn't know how many men and horses to fill in, and his iron shield army is the capital of his bargaining with Simon, if all of them are taken in, it is really possible to lose his wife and lose his soldiers.
At this moment, there was a loud voice unique to Merlin that Lin Bing hated from the Shangdu City, "Commander Lin, didn't your Iron Shield Legion eat enough today, why are you so weak today." ā
"Hahaha~" Merlin's words caused the soldiers on the wall of Shangdu to laugh, and Lin Bing snorted coldly and rode back to the barracks.
Lin Bing didn't notice that these soldiers standing on the city wall and laughing at them were all holding their spears with both hands, barely supporting their crumbling bodies, their physical strength and energy had been exhausted in the three days of defense, they didn't dare to rest and fight their spirits, for fear that they would fall asleep and be attacked by the rebels, among these soldiers, the eldest was already in his sixties, and he was no longer young, and he did some rough work in the city defense army on weekdays, and they thought that they would be honorably retired after a few more years, but they didn't expect to take up arms again, and the opponent turned out to be the young soldiers of their grandchildren, if on the battlefield they say loudly to the Iron Shield soldiers, "Grandson, where to run, eat your grandfather with a knife." "Then please don't think it's insulting, because these old soldiers are really old enough to be their grandfathers.
At this time, the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers of Dashang, leaning on the edge of the battlements and panting, took out the cold steamed buns from their pockets, swallowed hard, they seized all the time to recover their physical strength, and they were reluctant to use the physical strength to heat up the steamed buns, they had rich combat experience and knew when to do something, at this time, it seemed that as long as Lin Bing on the opposite side gritted his teeth and sent a group of people, they would capture Shangdu, but in fact, it was these people, every time the other party finished attacking the city, they sat on the ground and didn't even blink a finger to move their eyelids, but as long as the opponent's charge began, their own side of the military horn sounded, These people are as if they have just been charged, struggling to get up, and their bodies burst out with amazing strength, even if their bodies are out of strength, they will roar and use the momentum of their bodies to hold each other and fall off the high city wall, according to their words, I have lived so long enough to be Ben.
Like these veterans, Merlin, the deputy commander of the city defense army, was also leaning on the edge of the battlements at this time, his eyes slightly closed, and a slight snoring sound came from his nose, he was too tired during this time.
A Han eagle hovering in the air in the sky suddenly chirped, and the city wall suddenly shook slightly, Merlin suddenly opened his eyes, he held on to the wall and struggled to climb up, and a large cloud of dust appeared in the distance, and the 200,000 iron horsemen of Simon's archon Aosong finally threw off Li Xiangru's new army and killed.
Merlin looked at the rows of sleeping veterans leaning against the battlements, and couldn't bear to disturb them, but at this time, the deafening cheers of the iron shield soldiers outside the city walls woke them up.
The city has become a sea of red, these dense Simon cavalry in red armor, shouting in unison, each roar, the swords of both hands collide together, the shouts and the sound of soldiers fighting each other are earth-shattering.
"Count Lin Bing, it's been a few days since your Iron Shield Legion attacked Shangdu, why haven't you captured it yet?" Sandjoe looked displeased, looking at the sparse men and horses on the wall of Shangdu, he was very dissatisfied that Lin Bing, who had 100,000 elite soldiers, did not capture Shang.
"Your Highness Sandjo, we have been attacking for three days, and my Iron Shield soldiers have lost nearly 30,000 people. ā
"You Iron Shield Legion are a bunch of rubbish, and you'll see how our Simon army is taken down later. Sandjo snorted coldly.
Hearing Sandqiao's words, Lin Bing's face twitched suddenly, and several Iron Shield Legion generals behind him also turned pale, revealing dissatisfied looks.
"Your Highness Sandjo, please rest assured, please let our Iron Shield Legion attack one last time. Lin Bing said fiercely.
"No need, you guys go back and rest. Sandjoe sneered in his heart, looking at the piles of corpses under the city wall, he could also see the intensity of the battle in the past few days, and now the strength of Shangdu should be almost consumed, and it is better to keep this moment of fame for the ages.
After Ao Song waited for Lin Bing to retreat, he said lightly to Sandjow, " In fact, you should give such an opportunity to Lin Bing, you should have heard that the four famous generals of the Great Shang, Qin Baiyu, who died young, made good use of cavalry, and now Li Xiangru of the new army is good at using infantry, and Wotaihe is good at surprise attacks, and now Mei Lin standing on the wall of the Shang capital is good at defending the city, Li Xiangru is so powerful You and I have seen it, if it weren't for Lin Bing, Wotaihe would not be so easy to defeat, do you still want to use the precious life of my Simon cavalry to see the power of Mei Lin again?"
Sandjo disagreed, "Uncle Ozon, even if Merlin is really as powerful as you, but now he is already at the end of his crossbow, I want to see what he is capable of, not to mention that I have already prepared for the siege." ā
He turned around and gave the order, "1,000,000, 2,000...... The 10,000th troops, immediately attacking the city. ā
