Volume 2 Stepping into Meilan Chapter 16 The Trap
Gao Shijie resolutely disagreed with Helan Mingxiu's decision to attack the joint venture beast demon, but he had no choice, although Cheng Xiuyi vigorously carried out various reforms in three years, especially the reform of the army, but we all know that every reform takes time, three years is not a short time but it is definitely not a long time, so many measures have not really been implemented.
And Xia Yuan's tradition is to use literature to control martial arts, Gao Shijie and Helan Mingxiu are of the same grade, but because Helan Mingxiu is a civil official and Gao Shijie is a military general, Gao Shijie must obey Helan Mingxiu's orders.
And Helan Mingxiu has his own reasons, the first point is that if the color has darkened today, although it is not completely dark, he can still cover his whereabouts a little.
Another point is that the opponent is newly defeated, and the psychological pressure is huge, and the sudden appearance of their own side will definitely cause great panic to the other party, and the panic will definitely cause chaos to the other party.
In addition, Helan Mingxiu's language was very inflammatory, and he said loudly to the five hundred cavalry generals: "Warriors, now that my Xia Yuan is in this crisis, it is the time when I need you to work together to punish the Hu Demon, and now there is this great opportunity, and our fame is also here, are you willing?"
If you want to be a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister, please follow me to kill the thief, if you are greedy for life and afraid of the dead, the official will not force it.
When Helan Mingxiu said this, it turned out that those who had doubts about his decision did not dare to show it, after all, they are all soldiers, and no one wants to bear the reputation of a coward who is greedy for life and afraid of death, even Gao Shijie, who is against it, closed his mouth when he heard him say this.
So these five hundred Pegasus knights were all encouraged by him, Helan Mingxiu saw that the corners of his mouth showed a smile, so he raised his lance and shouted loudly: Killing the enemy and making meritorious contributions is today, all soldiers, please come with me.
So under Helan Mingxiu's order, the five hundred cavalry raised the speed of Pegasus to the highest speed, and rushed straight towards the coalition camp, and at this time, Gao Shijie looked up to the sky and sighed loudly and said: Scholars have mistaken the country!
After Gao Shijie finished speaking, he also mentioned that the mount followed the back of the team and rushed over, Gao Shijie thought to himself, it seems that his life is going to be explained here today, but there is no way, after all, the military order is like a mountain, even if he has any opinions, he can only wait until the battle is over.
But after the battle, he still has his life, can he put forward his opinions to the imperial court? But Gao Shijie has no choice, after all, the Gao family is a loyal martyr, and he must not discredit the Gao family.
And at this time, Helan Mingxiu led the five hundred horsemen to fly to a height of 600 meters above the beast demon camp, and when they came to the sky above the enemy camp, they all pressed the heads of the pegasus, and these pegasus retracted their wings and dived down, and at this time, Helan Mingxiu used the speed of the dive to aim the crossbow on the two ribs of the pegasus at the bottom of the shot.
At this time, the beast demon soldiers who were originally busy cooking in the pot below suddenly didn't know where to take out a shield, and quickly formed a formation to connect the shields together.
And at this time, the tents of those ordinary beast demon soldiers who were originally in and out were suddenly lifted from the inside, and several beast demon sacrifices stood in a tent, each of these sacrifices held a divine scepter, and the shadows of the main gods flashed behind them.
It seemed that they had already prepared, and these priests launched their divine arts, and laid a defensive divine magic on the top of the shield array, and the divine magic protected almost the entire camp inside.
It is undeniable that Xia Yuan's magic crossbow is not insignificant, but it is difficult to exert one-tenth of its power under the defense of those who have a heart, although the magic crossbow penetrates the divine defense, but there is no way to penetrate the shield in the hands of the beast demon clan.
At this time, Helan Mingxiu and Gao Shijie already knew that they had been tricked, but it was too late to say anything now, so Gao Shijie shouted loudly: Hurry up, hurry up and pull the mount up.
But it was too late at this time, because the priests holding the scepter aimed the scepter at the air cavalry, and at this time they only heard a long neighing and terrible cry from those flying horses, and suddenly fell from a height of hundreds of meters, and their two fleshy wings could not climb even a meter into the air no matter how they flapped them.
It turned out that the sacrifices had cast a gravity magic on Pegasus, making the originally light Pegasus feel as heavy as a thousand catties, but at this time, Helan Mingxiu's heart was full of remorse.
He regretted that he should not have been deceived by the enemy's illusion in the first place, and even more regretted that he should not have wished to get more credit, and what made him regret the most was that he should not have disobeyed Gao Shijie's persuasion and brought more than 500 of the Empire's best air horsemen to death.
At this time, thousands of steppe elf archers and many centaur heavy archers suddenly appeared around, all of them put on bow and arrow suits, just waiting for these flying horses to fall from the sky and shoot them one by one.
In fact, whether it is a steppe elf or a centaur, they have the ability to shoot these Xia Yuan air horses at a distance of hundreds of meters, but in order to achieve the goal of completely destroying the enemy, Namur Dozhen ordered Elder Bai Hua and Ames to shoot these damn Xia Yuan air horses when they fall from the sky.
Just imagine, the Pegasus knights, who were originally flying freely in the air, suddenly fell at a height of hundreds of meters, even if there was no enemy shooting, these people would definitely fall to the ground.
Just when Helan Mingxiu and the others closed their eyes and waited for death, the Pegasus, who suddenly sat down, let out a long hiss, and then quickly stirred up his wings a few times and quickly climbed high.
Sometimes happiness comes too suddenly, Helan Mingxiu and they can't accept it, they originally thought that they would die, but they didn't expect that there would be a turnaround, and this change also made Bai Hua and Ames not react for a while.
But when they came to their senses, Ames shouted a loud order to all the magic archers and centaur heavy archers: Quick, shoot them down, regardless of whether they have fallen or not.
And at this time, the sacrifices who were originally collectively launching the gravity magic suddenly burst out a little bit of blood on their chests and eyebrows, and then fell to the ground softly, and at this time, a few small black dots suddenly flew in the distance, and these black dots were emitting little rays, and these rays were facing the sacrifices under them.
And at this time, there was a huge purple gold bowl in the air, which was absorbing all the power of magic into it in the sky, and it turned out that Cheng Xiuyi invited Fang Yunming and them to save Helan Mingxiu, Gao Shijie and Pegasus troops.
So how did Cheng Xiuyi know that Helan Mingxiu and they were in danger? It turned out that Cheng Xiuyi suddenly felt a trace of palpitations when she left the State Guest House, and then he asked the soldiers on the side and asked: Did Helan Mingxiu lead the Pegasus troops back?
The soldier shook his head, Cheng Xiuyi looked up at the sky when he heard this, Helan Mingxiu They went out at the beginning of the afternoon, and now it is a moment of unitary time, seeing that the dinner party held by his father is about to start, he told Gao Shijie to let Helan Mingxiu lead the troops back before the unitary time.
Because the Pegasus troops are one of the main contributors to the victory in this battle, if they don't come to the dinner, then it will always seem like a fly in the ointment, so Cheng Xiuyi told them to come back as soon as they understood the enemy's movements, but now that they have been out for more than an hour, how can they not come back?
So Cheng Xiuyi immediately returned to the state guesthouse, and went straight to Fang Yunming and Moon's room, and at this time Fang Yunming and Moon were talking about something, and Cheng Xiuyi suddenly came in and caught the two of them off guard, but the two of them knew that there must be something urgent when they looked at Cheng Xiuyi's appearance.
So Fang Yunming stepped forward and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, is it the beginning of the dinner?"
Cheng Xiuyi said anxiously: "I have something to help you with, please gather all your current subordinates, is it okay?"
Fang Yunming turned his head to look at Moon, Moon nodded, so the two of them used the communication system to gather all their subordinates.
In this process, Cheng Xiuyi told the two of them about her worries, and said: The reason why I asked your people to help is that I don't want to cause panic in Shangjing, which has just calmed down, and your people have strong combat effectiveness and few personnel, so they are the best people who can help me.
Fang Yunming and they knew that saving people was like fighting a fire, time was the most important, so when a hundred of them gathered in the hall of the state guesthouse, everyone quickly rushed out of the hall, Fang Yunming and they began to change the shape of the exoskeleton armor while running, from the original military dress style to the original exoskeleton armor form, when they rushed out of the hall, they quickly flew into the air.
At this time, Cheng Xiuyi used the technique of thousands of miles of sound transmission to gather Cheng Zuting and the warlocks under him who had good combat power and could fly in the sky, so there were suddenly more than a hundred powerful warlocks in the sky.
Just when everyone had just finished assembling, three red spell fireworks suddenly appeared five hundred miles to the north, Cheng Xiuyi was shocked when she saw these three fireworks, Fang Yunming saw this and asked Cheng Xiuyi what was going on.
Cheng Xiuyi said to Fang Yunming: The three red fireworks represent the place of death, which means that they have been completely surrounded by the enemy, and there is no hope of breaking through.
When Fang Yunming saw the direction, he and Moon gave an order, and more than 100 of them disappeared in front of Cheng Xiuyi and them in an instant, Cheng Zuting looked at the afterimage that disappeared in front of him, opened his mouth and said three words in surprise: It's so fast.
Cheng Xiuyi was also very surprised, he didn't expect the speed of these outsiders to be so amazing, and at this time, everyone had already reflected, so everyone began to rush to where according to the direction of the fireworks.
Because Fang Yunming's exoskeleton armor was very fast, when they saw the three fireworks, they immediately activated the exoskeleton armor, and when the exoskeleton armor was activated, they instantly came to the periphery of the beast demon alliance.
When they flew into the air and came to a place more than five miles away from the beast demon alliance, the helmet of the exoskeleton armor showed that Helan Mingxiu had just fallen from the sky.
So Fang Yunming used the communication system in the helmet to give an order for everyone to fire, so all the laser weapon systems automatically aimed at the enemy to shoot, and their first wave of attack targets were set on those warlocks.
Because Fang Yunming knew that these guys with wooden sticks in their hands (they didn't know that these things that looked like wooden sticks were the scepters that the sacrifices relied on for their survival) were the most difficult to deal with among all the enemies.
