Chapter 262: Battle of the Four Kingdoms
Nilo looked at the old general's bones with a cold and shocked expression, his upper body had been smashed into flesh, and when the energy rock disappeared, that terrible appearance suddenly appeared in front of everyone.
Nilo admits that he is indeed inferior to Li Jun.
He played with power, subverted the rule of the Koro Empire over the Dimeronk family at a young age, established the Fifth Empire with his father Yaweili I, and even after the incident, smoothly seized control of the empire from his father, becoming one of the youngest and most successful kings in history.
However, compared to Li Jun's experience, Nilo is a little overshadowed, he has gradually become a grand duke from a commoner, and when he was crowned a duke, he was only thirty years old!
Immediately, under Li Jun's governance, the first desert country was established, with dozens of cities, cultivated fields, farms, water sources, and fruit trees......
It is not an exaggeration to say that it is "God-given"!
With the power of a million troops and a large number of heavy weapons, Nilo conquered all the cities in the eastern part of the Desert Principality in less than a month, with high morale and no fighting, he originally thought that it was a matter of time to occupy the desert capital, and it was almost inevitable to capture Li Jun alive.
But in just one battle, he failed, hundreds of thousands of troops became a pot of porridge, the artillery position fell, an old general died in an instant, and the tens of thousands of iron horsemen who rushed to rescue the artillery position have not yet heard a little news.
The morale fell again and again, and the high fighting spirit was almost worn out under the heavy blows.
The armies are scattered!
I don't know who started it, an officer led more than 300 people and fled towards the east, which seemed to be a domino effect, and in the blink of an eye, half of them fled.
"Kill!!" the Warcraft cavalry shouted murderously, and the Warcraft under his crotch let out a terrifying roar, which was deafening and snatched people's souls.
Burst!
A huge head flew up, this is an officer, but an ordinary cavalryman with no fighting spirit, with a spear through the head, picked up alive, smashed to the ground.
Maybe its own strength is not comparable to that of an officer who has cultivated a fighting spirit, and one-on-one can only be slaughtered, but if you add a demonic beast, the situation will naturally be different, enough to close, and even make up for and surpass this gap.
"Capture Nilo alive, the official seal is third-level, and the bounty is a thousand coins!" Li Jun shouted, riding a huge griffin and pounced towards Nilo.
After the tens of thousands of iron-horned rhinoceros legions were broken, magicians and archers, surrounded Nilo, fled to the east.
The former commander-in-chief of 500,000 soldiers and horses, Nilo, the prince of the Fifth Empire, fled in disarray in just one day, accompanied only by 3,000 guards, 80 magicians, 400 archers, and a team of iron-backed dragons.
Tens of thousands of Ironhorn Rhino Legions were surrounded by Warcraft Cavalry, and soon after, this Ironhorn Rhino Legion was destroyed.
Li Jun picked 6,000 iron horned rhinos and domesticated them one by one, these iron horned rhinos are relatively well preserved limbs, and the others are either missing arms and legs, or missing half of the head, or the heart is broken.
This battle was fought extremely fiercely, the proud Iron Horn Rhino Legion of the Ebelon Empire was wiped out, and the Ironback Earth Dragon also lost dozens of heads, and those who survived were all cheaper than Li Jun, expanding his team of Warcraft cavalry.
Half a day later, Li Jun recruited 200,000 soldiers from all over the country and arrived in Modu, and a day later, Li Jun organized 300,000 Warcraft cavalry and marched towards the eastern region where the principality had fallen.
Queen Tulip I also sent 200,000 light cavalry and 40,000 heavy infantry to attack, carrying 1,600 heavy artillery, 8,000 light artillery, 12 war giants, and 4,000 magic bed crossbows.
The big scuffle has begun!
A few years later, historians dubbed the Battle of the Four Kingdoms, involving the Tulip Empire, the Desert Duchy, the Eberon Empire, and the Fifth Empire.
As for the "militia" aid army of the Lorance Empire, because its official claim is that the team is formed spontaneously by the militia, has nothing to do with the empire, and does not belong to the empire's army structure, it is not considered an act of declaring war on the Ebyron Empire.
Therefore, the history of this war is not called the "War of the Five Kingdoms", but the "War of the Four Kingdoms".
......
Vala, an important military city in the eastern part of the Desert Principality.
The city was originally built entirely according to militarized standards, and a large number of forts and sentry posts were deployed around the city to serve as a key point for logistical support.
Nilo has gathered 400,000 troops, all of which are deployed in the city of Wara, and he plans to go his own way, here, to have a decisive battle with Li Jun!
All the artillery and bed crossbows were transported here, and the Alberon Empire sent 50 magicians to help, while the Fifth Empire recruited 600,000 soldiers and horses to fight the menacing Tulip Empire.
The weapons of war of both empires are in motion, and millions of subsequent armies are in place and ready to fight.
Under the city, 300,000 demonic beast cavalry stared at the towering city wall in front of them.
Nilo stood on the tower with a gloomy face, his fists clenched, his eyes full of hatred and murderous intent.
Valyan City must be defended, and the rest of the eastern cities must also be ensured, otherwise, once the 300,000 Warcraft cavalry drives straight in, using the eastern city as a springboard, it is possible to attack the Fifth Empire at any time.
All the soldiers of the Fifth Empire have been transferred to fight to the death with the Tulip Empire, and the domestic troops are empty, and they can't resist this fierce and vicious Warcraft cavalry at all.
"I have the most terrible artillery, the most fierce soldiers, the most magicians and the strongest! I want to see how you can take this city!" Nilo sneered confidently, and he had a kind of mentality that he was sure of victory.
Li Jun held up the lookout glasses, observed a little, and ordered the artillery units to set up the artillery captured from the enemy on the high ground without dropping, and launched a fierce artillery bombardment on the city tower.
Hundreds of large-caliber energy cannons roared in unison, and tongues of fire were accompanied by gunsmoke.
The two sides engaged in an artillery battle for a whole day, making the temperature within a radius of dozens of miles hot, enough to roast one person to death.
At night, Li Jun led 53 Chimeras to dispatch, and at one o'clock in the morning, he suddenly launched an air attack.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Pieces of magic crossbow arrows suddenly shot into the air, one after another magic exploded, there were thunder and flames, one by one magicians held their magic wands high, chanting esoteric spells, ice picks, storms, flames, lightning and other attack magic shrouded the Chimera air force.
Roar!
The Chimera roared furiously, opened its mouth, and spewed out a skull-sized fireball from its mouth, which could kill a large area in one explosion.
Dense crossbow arrows kept exploding, a Chimera's abdomen was iron-armored turtle pattern, and a bloody mouth suddenly appeared in his stomach, and a thunder mage released a lightning hand, swirling with a blue arc, and forcibly cut open the Chimera's belly, shook its wings a few times, and then fell down.
"Retreat!" Li Jun shouted, the air raid was fruitless and declared a failure.
"My lord, I just felt a fluctuation of magic in the city, are you okay?" an old magician ran over and asked eagerly.
His name is Kerry, and he is the highest existence in the entire Desert Principality except for Li Jun, who has the highest magic cultivation, and is at the level of a magician, originally the patriarch of a nation in the desert, and later attached to the desert capital, and was recruited by Li Jun under his command, and became the head of the magician teaching group and the head of the magician legion.
"I'm fine, dear Captain Kerry, I really didn't expect that Nilo to figure out my battle routine, and there were a large number of people defending the third watch in the middle of the night. Li Jun smiled helplessly.
"Hmph, I don't believe that Nilo boy, he can still call countless people every day to guard it at all times, as long as he has the slightest negligence and mistakes, the Duchy's air force can capture the gates of Waraliang City and enlarge the army to enter!" said one of the generals.
"No, as long as there are magicians who monitor the sky for a long time, as soon as the Duchy's air force flies into the airspace of Vala, those magicians are a warning. Kerry shook his head and said.
Li Jun pondered for a moment, waved his hand at everyone, and said, "Now everyone go and rest, and wait for tomorrow morning to discuss the countermeasures for the siege." ”
"Yes, sir. ”
......
Back in the warm tent, the ground was covered with animal skins worth 100 gold, barefoot, stepping on the plush carpet, Li Jun sat lazily on the special rocking chair, Jiu'er obediently walked over with a teapot in his mouth, gently rested it on the table, and then threw himself into Li Jun's arms and rubbed it on his heart.
Li Jun rubbed Jiu'er's head, squinted his eyes, drank mellow green tea, puffed out his cheeks, and rinsed his mouth.
Staring at Jiu'er for a long time, the little fox raised his head, moved his pointed ears, and blinked his round eyes with curiosity, not understanding why Li Jun was staring at himself.
"Look, my lovely little Jiu'er has finally lost weight after months of exercise. Li Jun smiled lightly and patted Jiu'er's little buttocks.
Jiu'er blushed slightly, leaned her neck arrogantly, poked out a pair of small paws, and scratched Li Jun's heart.
With a cute pet in hand, the mood has become comfortable.
Tomorrow is destined to be a tragic battle, and Li Jun is not sure to defeat Nilo again.
After all, the gap between the two sides is still a bit huge, the enemy has a large number of heavy weapons, as well as well-trained and well-equipped soldiers, and in addition to having hundreds of thousands of Warcraft cavalry, he is too short in terms of weapons.
In this era, Warcraft is no longer the most important combat force in war, and personal bravery has passed, such as the emergence of magic bed crossbows, energy artillery, war giants, etc., which effectively curbed the situation of Warcraft, swordsmen and magicians controlling the outcome of the war, and the birth of "Roar of the Gods" has set off a new page, perhaps, the future will belong to the Eberon Empire, and it may also belong to the emerging and powerful unified empire in the future.
