Chapter 157: The Military Power of the Ancient Kingdom
The ancient capital city wall built by Ziyuan Stone is more than 300 meters high, full of hundreds of meters thick, and hundreds of thousands of defensive formations are carved inside, once excited, it can resist the onslaught of the Yuan God Venerable.
The ancient capital of Ziyan, which has been inherited for thousands of years, has ushered in the biggest crisis today, and the 100,000 human race iron horsemen killed from the end of the earth, like a red frenzy, directly submerging the vast mountains and rivers outside the ancient capital.
It's just that what makes people feel strange is that after those Terran iron horsemen surrounded the ancient capital of Ziyan, they didn't attack for a long time.
On the city wall of the ancient capital, Yan Hongyu, the minister of the Ziyan Kingdom, was wearing battle armor, holding the pure purple cloud pattern knife handle at his waist, and his eyes looked at the Terran iron horse outside the ancient capital with a solemn expression, "Is there any change in the Terran iron horse outside?" ”
Raising his eyes, he saw that the land outside the ancient capital was red, and 100,000 elite cavalrymen wearing red armor, carrying bows, holding guns, and hanging knives filled the sight.
Cloud ladders, siege vehicles, broken door ballistas, catapults, Hongwu cannons and other city-breaking weapons are being transported from all directions, and the soldiers are pointing directly at the ancient capital of Ziyan.
"See the Minister of State." On the city wall, the soldiers who guarded the ancient capital of Ziyan bent down and saluted, and the lord of Ziyan fell in the Xuanguang Domain, and when the prince of the ancient country had not yet ascended the throne and inherited the throne, the ancient country of Ziyan at this time was in power by Yan Hongyu, the minister of state.
"Get up and talk back." Yan Hongyu nodded slightly and ordered his generals to get up.
A general of the ancient kingdom stood up and bent down, and replied loudly, "Prime minister, the Terran iron cavalry has always besieged the ancient capital but not attacked. ”
"Strange, why are they doing this?" Yan Hongyu frowned slightly, his heart was full of doubts, two years ago, a large number of Terran iron cavalry killed, he urgently closed all the city gates, and then summoned the ancient capital defenders to build a defensive front, I thought there would be a bloody battle, but the Terran iron cavalry did not move for a long time, which made Yan Hongyu feel a headache.
However, this is also good, so that the ancient capital can have enough time to wait for reinforcements from all sides of the ancient country to come to relieve the siege, and I believe that the lords of the major cities of the ancient country should also receive the bird transmission from the ancient capital at this time.
At this time, behind Yan Hongyu, a young and handsome young man walked up, he was wearing a gorgeous and noble purple flame python robe, and a purple sword was hanging from his waist, "Uncle Sanwang, what they want is not the ancient capital, but the entire ancient country. ”
Yan Hongyu turned around and looked at it, and scolded softly with displeasure, "Mingxuan, why did you come up, this is very dangerous, go down quickly." ”
Yan Mingxuan, the crown prince of the ancient kingdom of Ziyan, the eldest son of Yan Hong, who had high hopes by the fallen lord Yan Hong, was sent to the Liyan Academy of Liyan Wang Court to cultivate when he was young because of his outstanding endowment, and he had just returned from the royal court recently.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." The soldiers of the ancient kingdom on the city wall bent down again and saluted.
"Everyone, please." Yan Mingxuan smiled, and after personally helping several generals, he opened his mouth to explain to Yan Hongyu, "Uncle Wang, Ming Xuan is the prince of the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom, at this critical time of survival, how can Ming Xuan hide in the palace and steal his life. ”
"You... Alas... That's fine. Yan Hongyu wanted to stick to his thoughts, but after thinking about it, he sighed helplessly, said with a bitter face, and said with a solemn expression, "As the prince of the ancient country, these are all things you should face." ”
Yan Mingxuan glanced outside the ancient capital and said confidently, "Uncle Wang, don't worry, in a short period of time, those Terran iron horsemen will not attack the ancient capital." ”
"Why are you so sure?" Yan Hongyu looked at Yan Mingxuan suspiciously, wondering why his nephew had such confidence.
Yan Mingxuan didn't answer immediately, but sold a pass, "Uncle Wang, do you know where the iron cavalry outside the ancient capital comes from?" ”
"Which side?" Yan Hongyu subconsciously asked.
Yan Mingxuan's expression was serious, and he almost said four words word by word, "Great Han Ancient Kingdom!" ”
"The Great Han Ancient Kingdom... Won't the leader be? Yan Hongyu was shocked in his heart, and uneasy emotions spread in his heart.
The ancient kingdom of the Terran Han Dynasty shook the eastern realm, and many famous generals of the Han Dynasty were also famous, and several of them were even terrified of the major alien races.
Thirteen years ago, the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom had a war with the Great Han Ancient Kingdom, and it was also at that time that the high-spirited Yan Hongyu was killed on the battlefield by a great general of the Great Han Ancient Kingdom under the command of 100,000 iron horsemen.
That experience became a shame for Yan Hongyu's life, and it was also a nightmare that he could not forget.
"It's Han Shin." Yan Mingxuan's face looked calm, but his hand subconsciously grasped the hilt of the sword on his waist because of nervousness, which showed that Han Xin's pressure on him was still very high.
"It's him, the ancient capital is in danger now." Yan Hongyu's face instantly turned pale, and the hand holding the knife involuntarily trembled slightly.
"Not only the ancient capital, but the entire Ziyan Ancient Kingdom is in danger." Yan Mingxuan looked beyond the ancient capital, and said in a heavy tone, "Han Xin is very powerful, since he has made a move, he will never just stare at an ancient capital." ”
"What do you want?" Yan Hongyu subconsciously glanced outside the ancient capital, and at this moment, he seemed to see the figure that made him desperate again.
In that battle thirteen years ago, the three million elites of the ancient kingdom led by Yan Hongyu were all lost to Han Xin's hand Zheng
As long as he recalls the battle in the past, Yan Hongyu can't help but feel frightened, as if his every move was predicted by Han Xin in advance, and every order he gave was to send his soldiers to death.
Han Xin gave Yan Hongyu the feeling that there was nothing missing, just like on the battlefield, as long as he was targeting the target, he would definitely die.
Yan Mingxuan calmly analyzed, "If I were Han Xin, I would pass on the news of the siege of the ancient capital, lure the armies of the major cities of the ancient country to come to help, and then break them one by one." ”
"This is a conspiracy, even if you know that it is a trap, for the safety of the ancient capital, the major cities of the ancient country can only send troops to support."
In the end, Yan Mingxuan asserted, "So their first target is not the ancient capital at all, but the reinforcements from all sides of my Purple Yan Ancient Kingdom." ”
Such a clear analysis made Yan Hongyu lose confidence, and also lost his former calmness and reason, and in despair, he pinned his hopes on Yan Mingxuan, "We, can we win this battle?" ”
Yan Mingxuan glanced at Yan Hongyu and asked softly, "Uncle Wang, in order to suppress my Purple Flame Ancient Kingdom this time, the human race has come to the top ten forces, do you think you can really win with the power of the Purple Flame Ancient Kingdom?" ”
"I... The clan may be..."Yan Hongyu speculated unconfidently.
Yan Mingxuan shook his head and interrupted, "Don't expect the forces in the clan to come to support us, they are already difficult to protect themselves, the forces of the Terran Great Qin Ancient Kingdom, the Great Song Ancient Kingdom, the Taoist Sect of the Whole Town, the Shaolin Ancient Temple, the Peach Blossom Island, the Great Yuan Ancient Kingdom and other forces have all been dispatched, and it is good if the major forces in the clan do not ask us for help." ”
"Ming Xuan, do you think the Liyan Royal Court will support our clan?" The hope of support in the clan was shattered, and Yan Hongyu could only hope for leaving the Yan Royal Court.
After all, the road to the revival of the declining Yan Ling Clan can be vigorously supported by the Yan Wang Court behind the scenes, and the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom, as a force of the Yan Ling Clan, whether it is for the sake of profit or for the sake of the royal court's face, there is no reason for the Yan Royal Court not to save it.
A painful cold light flashed in the depths of Yan Mingxuan's eyes, but it was quickly covered up by him with a wry smile, "Uncle Wang, after waiting for the human race to unify the Eastern Realm, there is only a reason to send troops to the Yan Royal Court, because only at that time is the time for the Yan Royal Court to harvest the fruits." ”
"You... Do you mean that the Liyan Imperial Court will sacrifice our clan? ”
Yan Hongyu's eyes widened in disbelief, and he exclaimed.
"Uncle Wang, you know, I just recently returned from the Liyan Royal Court, in the Liyan Royal Capital, let the human race dominate the Eastern Realm, and then the Royal Court took advantage of the situation to crusade, and then the call to seize the Eastern Realm in one fell swoop is the highest." Yan Mingxuan's words were shocking, and he said a shocking news, "According to it, this is also the meaning of King Liyan." ”
Yan Hongyu immediately scolded when he heard this, "Shameful... Damn it... It's so despicable, they... How could they be so despicable. ”
Feeling Yan Hongyu's grief and indignation, Yan Mingxuan, who felt that the time had come, took advantage of the situation and made a suggestion, "Uncle Wang, for today's plan, we can only have a chance to give up the Ziyan Ancient Capital, give up the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom, and return to the ancestral domain immediately." ”
Yan Hongyu's body shook, glared at Yan Mingxuan, and scolded sharply, "Presumptuous, do you know what you are in?" ”
"Uncle Wang, I'm saving the Yan family, the ancient country of Ziyan can be rebuilt if it's gone, if the tens of thousands of descendants of the Yan family are gone, then there will really be nothing, just like my father, once he died, there will be no other in the world, and there will be no chance to turn over at the end." Yan Mingxuan's face showed a painful expression, and he sighed and persuaded.
"Whew... Maybe you're right, in that case... Then you can go. Yan Hongyu was silent for a while, then looked at Yan Mingxuan's firm eyes, and waved his hand like a knife.
Yan Mingxuan was anxious, "Uncle Wang..."
"I am the minister of the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom, anyone can escape, but I, Yan Hongyu, can't." Yan Hongyu shook his head and expressed his attitude categorically,
"But..."Yan Mingxuan still wanted to persuade again.
"It's nothing, you take the descendants of the clan back to the ancestral domain, and Uncle Wang will contain the Terran army for you." Yan Hongyu, who had a decision in his heart, quickly adjusted his mentality and regained the sanity and calmness that Ziyan should have.
Between the trade-offs, Yan Hongyu agreed to Yan Mingxuan's suggestion.
Yan Mingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "I need the Purple Flame Spirit to charge into battle." ”
30,000 Ziyan elite cavalry is the trump card elite of the ancient country of Ziyan, and it is also the descendant army cultivated by the Yan family, they are well-equipped, each of them is a soldier of a hundred battles, as long as the command is right, then in the next breakthrough, Ziyan elite cavalry can make miraculous achievements.
It's just that the control of the Ziyan Jingqi is not in the hands of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Yan Mingxuan, not only the Ziyan Jingcai, at this time, all the military power of the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom is under the control of Yan Hongyu, the minister of the country.
The ownership of the military power of the ancient country is also one of the reasons why Yan Mingxuan will come to Yan Hongyu, whether it is to break through or restore the country, he needs enough troops, and he is determined to win the military power of the ancient country of Ziyan.
"This is the token to command the 30,000 Purple Flame Spirit Riders, and now it's yours." Yan Hongyu didn't think about it, and directly took out a purple-gold token.
Then, he took out the Purple Pattern Ding Yan National Seal, handed the national seal into Yan Mingxuan's hands with a serious expression, and said earnestly, "This is the national seal of the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom, with the national seal, you will control all the military power of the ancient country, and the future of the Yan family and the Ziyan Ancient Kingdom will be handed over to you, don't let Uncle Wang down." ”
Yan Mingxuan held the national seal tightly and made another request, "I also want the key to the treasure house of the ancient country, and I want to take away all the treasures treasured in the ancient country." ”
"Here you go." Yan Hongyu smiled with relief.
"I also want Uncle Wang to order the East City Gate to be opened, and let the big Han Iron outside ride into the ancient capital, and then Uncle Wang will lead the army to create chaos." Yan Mingxuan's eyes were moist, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, I can be sure that I will evacuate safely with the descendants of my clan." ”
This request is no different from letting Yan Hongyu die, because if you lead the Han Tie into the ancient capital, Yan Hongyu will have no way out at all.
Yan Hongyu naturally knew the danger of luring the Great Han Iron Cavalry into the ancient capital, and after he was silent for a long time, he smiled and shouted, "Okay, I promise you that I will lead the army to desperately contain the Great Han Iron Cavalry and buy you enough time." ”
"Mingxuan, thank you Uncle Wang for your kindness." Yan Mingxuan took a step back, bent down deeply, and sobbed sadly, "Mingxuan hereby swears that he will rebuild the Purple Yan Ancient Kingdom one day, and if I violate this oath, I will definitely die a good death." ”
"Very good, remember your oath, the future of the Purple Flame Ancient Kingdom will be handed over to you." Yan Hongyu calmly accepted Yan Mingxuan's salute, and said in a deep voice, "After the third step, the gates of the east, west, north and south will be opened at the same time, and you must seize the opportunity to evacuate at that time." ”
"Okay." Yan Mingxuan nodded firmly.
