Chapter Twenty-Six: The "Black Butcher" Cha and Bu Hua I
The north wind is dashing, the water goes from the east, and the dream orchid blooms as promised. After the test of the cold spring, the flowers bloom perfectly into their own pink. It's just that the smoke of gunpowder in the sky covers the intoxicating fragrance of flowers, and the flowers fall by themselves, and no one appreciates them.
Monland in the spring was supposed to be a romantic place, but in this spring, everything becomes a wonderful memory. Iron hooves trampled on the fields and houses, and with the tears were the withered petals.
On April 26, 1215, three days after the start of the battle in Mulan County, the Shangdang Legion of the Chengtian Empire, which was assembled near the border of Menglan County, under the leadership of the corps commander and Imperial Marshal Chahe Buhua, broke through the fragile border defense line of the Beihai Kingdom, rushed to the hinterland of Menglan County. And the first to bear the brunt is the border city of Suizhou in Menglan County.
Suizhou is located on the border of Menglan County, only one hundred and twenty kilometers away from Shangdang County of the Chengtian Empire. It took only three hours for the 500,000 vanguard cavalry troops of Chahe Buhua to break through the defenses of the Menglan Legion on the border line and arrive at the city of Suizhou.
Although the king of Beihai Haitian had started the migration of the people before the start of the war, compared to Mulan County and Beihai County, Menglan County was too far away from the Great Snow Mountain, so the migration work was relatively lagging behind. In order to avoid the scourge of swords, many people in Menglan County had to drag their families and reluctantly moved to the east of the Crescent River Valley. However, at the time of the war, millions of Beihai people were still stranded in the border area of Menglan County.
After the Shangdang army invaded Menglan County, the people near Suizhou did not have time to flee and hid in Suizhou City. And Suizhou Taishou, Wang Ziang, the commander of the 58th Army of the Menglan Legion, immediately sent a soldier to place the swarming people on a large area of wasteland in the east of the city, and ordered his subordinate troops to enter a combat state.
Just as Wang Ziang had just settled down the people who had poured into the city, the iron hooves of the Chengtian army followed. In a short time, 500,000 Chengtian cavalry surrounded Suizhou, where the 58th Army was stationed. A general Chengtian with a dark complexion, bare chest and breasts, and holding a Xuanhua axe, looked at the Beihai soldiers in Suizhou City, revealing bloodthirsty excitement.
"Warriors, Suizhou is the first battle of my Cha and Buhua Generalissimo. I heard that Haravi conquered Liuzhou, the border city of Mulan County, in one day and beheaded 80,000. Today, as long as you can enter Suizhou within half a day, you can do whatever you want!"
The marshal's words caused the 500,000 Chengtian cavalry to let out a deafening cheer, and they all looked at each other, imagining how happy they would be after entering the city for a while. And after Wang Ziang, the commander of the 58th Army who commanded the defense at the head of the North Gate, heard this, his face turned green, and the tooth gang bit it with a clang. But compared to the anger of the commander, more Beihai soldiers trembled, looking at the black-pressed Chengtian cavalry in all directions with fear. Standing on the top of the city and looking from afar, I saw that the black-armored cavalry stretched for dozens of miles, and there was no end.
"Commander, what, why are there so many enemies?I, can we hold it?" Ye Fei, the ice soldier of the 527th Division of the 58th Army, looked at the overwhelming Chengtian cavalry, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stammered.
"Ye Fei, shut your stinky mouth! If you can keep it, you must keep it, and if you can't keep it, you must keep it. Do we still have a choice? Do you want to ignore those innocent people in Suizhou City? Just now, I have sent the White Bird Knight to report the situation here to the Legion Commander Lord Shiraishi, and I believe that Lord Shiraishi will come to rescue these people in person. ”
After all, Ye Fei is also a man with eggs, who has been in the army all the year round, and he is a master who is not afraid of heaven and earth. It's just that the countless cavalry troops in black armor of the Shangdang Legion outside Suizhou City just now frightened Ye Fei.
"His grandmother's, commander, you're right, if you're a man, you have to do it. By the way, when will Lord Ice God reinforce us?" Ye Fei asked.
"It's hard to say. However, Lord Shiraishi is far away in Menglan City, and even if the defenders of the Crescent River Valley are transferred, it will take at least two days to get to us. Moreover, without the Ice God, it would be impossible to safely transfer the common people from so many cavalry units. So, we're going to have to hold on for at least three days. The prince said with a low confidence.
"Three days. Ye Fei muttered to himself and returned to the west gate where he was responsible for defending alone.
Outside the city, the war drums of the Chengtian army began to beat, and hundreds of cowhide drums made a dull and suffocating sound. These sound waves passed through the thick city walls and reached every corner of Suizhou City. On the wasteland to the east of the city, hundreds of thousands of Beihai people looked at the sky in horror, as if begging for peace. The vast majority of the people who fled into Suizhou were old, weak, sick and disabled, and young and middle-aged people had long been conscripted into the army and became a member of the Beihai army. And the originally clear sky was suddenly shrouded in countless black clouds, as if it was about to punish Suizhou.
