Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Xishan Army Goes Out
The Naxi River Fortress is a small lake bay, surrounded by flat lakes on three sides, the same as the Xishan Fortress, and there is only one road in and out of their fortress. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoBecause, this Pinghu Bay of the Naxi River, its water quality is abnormal, it is a famous poisonous flow in Assyria, and it is famous for its 'water burial'.
This poison of the Naxi River is a strange kind of poison. This poison is ineffective against civilians, but it is extremely poisonous against knights or magicians. All the strong who accidentally fall into the water, without exception, all begin to rot from the inside out. Under this poison, the capable will die nine times, and those who are lucky enough to survive are also cultivated to the end of their cultivation and reduced to mediocrity.
What is even more bizarre is that although the water of the Naxi River is called water, it is neither drinkable nor floating. A young leaf that flutters in the wind, stained with the water of the Naxi River, can only sink to the bottom of the riverbed, and cannot float on it.
The Assyrians knew this quality, and so did the Fiyanjun.
When he learned that Murha was leading the Assyrians into Pinghu Bay, Feiyang, the general who was in charge of pursuing Murha, decisively gave up the pursuit, turned to the siege of the entrances and exits, and sent a letter to the empire.
With such a favorable location, the reply of the Feiyang Empire was naturally as expected. Emperor Nishizawa ordered the 3,000 pursuing army to stop the pursuit, and instead strictly defended it, and made a plan to besiege them, either recruit them to surrender or trap them alive!
However, what the fierce general didn't expect was that he remembered that his 3,000 men and horses had been surrounded outside for three months, and the grain trucks had come in more than ten waves, but no one came out of the house.
If it weren't for the smoke rising every time, the Phyayans would have thought that the Assyrian knights were dead.
But where does their food come from? The Naxi River will not provide them with food, even if there are fish in the Naxi River, borrow ten guts from them, will they dare to eat them?
This question had been haunting the Fei Yang warrior, and he really couldn't figure it out, until the day he left, he still tugged at the short hair on his head and thought violently.
The Feiyang army retreated, and there was a cheer of celebration in the Naxi River fortress, and the sound spread far away, and it was not afraid to be heard by the Feiyang people, and even those who left the Feiyang army felt that they were celebrating for them.
However, the assertion that Fiyan withdrew his troops out of necessity was a miscalculation for the Assyrians. Fiyan's 3,000 troops did leave, but the Assyrian scouts discovered that a group of five priests had arrived in the Temple of Light.
At that time, they were still wondering, since they saw through the nature of the Light Temple, the Assyrians no longer had any reverie and extravagant hopes for the Light Temple, so why did the five priests come here?
Murha is a veteran of Assyria's Great Light Knight, and most of the people under his command are old subordinates in his army, strong, loyal and reliable, and they are all a group of good generals.
Why did they make a covenant of life and death in the first place, in addition to the fact that they were both Assyrians, it was more that Muerha saw Andrei's talent and wanted to take care of Andrei. If Andrei is in trouble, he will find a way to go to the rescue with all his might.
As an old aristocrat, it stands to reason that Muerha should not be foolish enough to believe that the five priests were here to help them. But he still couldn't help but want to go out and see him, in case he ...... Is there really a miracle happening?
Just as Muerha was preparing to meet the priest in person, a spy reported that the priest had stopped ten miles outside his fortress, saying that he had seen them take out a lot of tools, and that he would ...... It's like they're carving a circle!
When Mu Erha heard this, his whole body was on fire! The priest did not come to rescue them, nor did he come to congratulate them on the results of their station, let alone to spread their Taoist fruits and sow miracles. They came to help the Phyan army stab the Assyrians!
"No!" Mu Erha thought of something, and in an instant, he flashed against the border wall of the fortress! When he arrived, he saw a yellow curtain descending from the sky ten miles away. If this is placed in the Holy See to which the Temple of Light belongs, believers will think that it is a miracle. But at that time, in Muerha's eyes, it was a spell!
The knight who was standing beside Muerha at that time was heard softly ordering a retreat. At that time, those knights didn't know who Muerha was ordering, and even, everyone thought that they just heard it wrong, because Muerha's voice was very trembling and light at that time, and not many people could hear it clearly.
But in the next moment, the scouts who were close to each other, when the priest withdrew from the light curtain at a strange speed, those scouts still looked at the light curtain in a daze.
Qi Qi roared several times, and all the scouts shrouded in the pale yellow light curtain instantly turned into monsters.
Muerha broke down the siege of the city, and with his ability, he only saved the nearest person, and the other few people, all of whom could only watch them kill each other in the light curtain.
Painfully realized, no one would trust the priest of the Temple of Light anymore, just as no one could unlock the curtain of light.
The taboo of the Naxi River, the fortress of the Naxi River is trapped for three years, and in this year, Muerha faintly felt a trace of crisis, such a sense of crisis, Muerha felt that it was the same as the state on the eve of the Assyrian Empire being broken, and it was an ominous omen!
Therefore, he ordered the whole army to strengthen vigilance and focus on the defense of the shores of Pinghu Lake.
"Lana, it's been three days, haven't they come yet?" Mu Erha is the physique of an old man, although he ages slowly because of his advanced cultivation, but in the past three years, he has aged even faster than the civilian elderly, and he can already see the traces of vicissitudes on his face. When she said this, Muerha looked very worried.
"Yes, my lord, in another hour it will be four days, Your Excellency Ma's side...... Something must have happened. ā
"Let people guard the west bank of the river, keep an eye on it, the enemy will definitely come from that side!" Mu Erha did not hesitate, and ordered directly.
Muerha already felt that time was not waiting for him. "Burn the wolf smoke for another round, remember, the fine smoke burns slowly, don't seek to burn vigorously, let it burn for as long as possible. ā
Mulha burned wolf smoke, but in fact, it was not to understand Andrei's troops. After so many years, he felt that Andre's side would not be much better than his side. It is even very likely that they are not as good as their own side. They had military rations secretly sent for them by Assyrian refugees, and Andrei's troops in the West Hills were unable to deliver food because the ground was too high and the main road was blocked. They must have to be self-reliant.
Muerha's wolf smoke actually wanted to inform the refugee compatriots who sent him food, telling them that he was ready to deal with the enemy, so that they could avoid it first.
It's just that he doesn't know if his signal is timely. If fellow refugees have been robbed, they are absolutely to blame.
At the same time, Muerha is also actively squeezing out his brains and calculating. He wondered what kind of attitude those vicious Fei Yang troops would take to start this war of extermination again. Will it be a surprise attack, or will it be a large army?
If it was a large army, Murha would definitely be grateful to the Adjudicator of the Feiyang Army, which brought them a rare opportunity for revenge. As long as they kill enough, they don't mind sacrificing themselves.
It was precisely because of this thought that Muerha immediately ruled out this possibility of the Feiyang army. It is impossible for them to overwhelm the territory with a large army, and it is impossible for the adjudicators of Feiyang to be so stupid.
This is the most likely. If more than three Great Light Knights suddenly appeared in the fortress, the loss of the fortress would be an absolutely devastating disaster. He was lucky enough to be able to kill one, and his four glorious knights might be able to kill one of them to the death, and the last one would slaughter the fortress!
The only thing that he is fortunate about is that he has clashed with the Feiyang army several times, and the Feiyang army still has not figured out the actual military strength of his army, so that the Feiyang army is always timid every time he shoots, and he does not dare to fight with all his strength, for fear of excessive losses.
"Whew, I don't know how many more days it can last...... God, if there really is a God in heaven, please save us poor sinners...... "Muerha never believed that there was a God in heaven. At the height of the Assyrian Empire, believers in the Temple of Light could be seen everywhere, but he just didn't believe it, he felt that if a person wanted to succeed, it was useless to rely on anyone, and he could only succeed by his own efforts.
Assyria was breached, the gates of the country were trampled down, and he led an army of a million men to resist it, and he did not think about it when he fought bloodily, he did not think about life and death, but then he thought of his followers outside of himself, and he thought of his fellow suffering civilians who were starving for the rations of their army, and he prayed not for himself, but for his fellow citizens who are still alive today.
If a miracle could happen, he was willing to devote his life to this God, and he believed that if such a god really existed, he would never measure the piety of believers by money and show the greatness of God's power with slander, as the hypocritical priests of the Temple of Light worshipped.
"If the kingdom of Assyria can be reforged, if thousands of suffering people will no longer have to break their heads for a piece of rye bread, I will serve you Lord for the rest of my life, O God, and praise you from generation to generation!"
This time it was not a meditation, but Mulha prayed aloud beside the female knight who was traveling with her. The female knight looked shocked, of course she would not think that Muerha was a refuge in the Temple of Light, and she would not believe that Muerha was insane. After following Murha for so many years, she could hear that Murha was very serious and serious, he was praying to God, praying to God for all the people's compatriots!
"General, you ...... What god are you worshipping?" the female knight was bold and asked Muhar, "We can offer ourselves to that god and ask for His blessing, just as you do." ā
The female knight actually wants to share the burden on Muerha's shoulders. She didn't think that such a burden should be borne by Muerha alone. She saw Muerha grow old day by day. Every fold on his face, the female knight clearly remembered when it appeared.
Mu Erha smiled, he was an old man, how could he not understand the young man's mind. He didn't tell the female knight anything, he just told the female knight to release a series of his deployments, and in doing so, he was at ease.
Muerha believes that as long as he is there, as long as the shoulders of his giant do not fall, the group of people under him can grow up faster.
On the other side of the West Mountain, Andrei had already made a perfect plan, and now, they only had to put it into practice.
Time was of the essence, and they did not have time to refine the steps or verify that the solution was feasible. Andrei summoned all the knights of the fortress and set up a formation at the foot of the mountain, right in front of the inscription.
Yi Fan walked at the front of the array, he was not in the array, he was on the side of the front row of the array.
That was Andre's position, because of Yi Fan's task requirements, he had to stand in the command position in order to grasp the overall situation and move in real time.
However, because of his face and the handsome appearance that was engraved into the deep spirit, many people temporarily forgot about the queue discipline and looked at him.
"Alright, that's it!"
Just as he was 100 meters away from the screen of the inscription circle, Andre asked Yi Fan at the right time. Because he is not Yi Fan, he can't grasp Yi Fan's ability. When Yi Fan nodded, he resolutely stopped here.
His actions were nothing in the ears of those captains, but in the eyes of the knights below, Andrei was asking for the opinion of this young man! This young man, he ...... What's the matter?
"Father, who is that kid?" Anru's team was not in the queue, and he and his mother were escorted by a group leader and walked beside Andre.
Syllable!
Yi Fan was surprised! Because just when he wanted to raise his hand and slap him habitually, Andre took a step ahead of him, and with a cold face, he vomited blood from An Lu's fan.
Anlu's teeth were loose, he didn't think that Andre would hit him, if he wanted to hit himself, he should have been killed by him at a very young age, but he never did it. But today, in front of this large army, he just asked casually, and he was punished so severely!
"You hit me?" Anru couldn't believe it.
Even his mother, who was beside Anlu, was confused.
This slap made An Lu can't help but think of Yi Fan. Since Yi Fan gave him a slap for the first time, in the next time he didn't stop, as long as he went to the cafeteria, his stinky problem was indispensable to Yi Fan's slap. It seems that with Andre's acquiescence, no one dares to stop Yi Fan.
In the end, he deliberately avoided Yi Fan, which saved a lot of suffering.
But even then, Andrei didn't do anything to him. Today...... What's going on?
Andre didn't explain it to Anlu, and his eyes even drifted directly over Anlu, not looking at his aggrieved expression.
"Can we start?"
Anlu still asked Yi Fan first, and after Yi Fan nodded his approval, he ordered the two knights to come out as a test group.
There were many knights who volunteered, and among these knights, Andrei drew two.
The person in front of him began to accelerate and jump, taking advantage of the momentum, to the center position. At the same time, the latter person sprints and targets the man.
Touch!
The two knights turned into monsters at the same time, one in front of the other, and slammed into each other, the latter knocking the former out of the inscription circle, and the latter being pulled back by the pre-prepared girdle.
The two of them went out at the same time, and at the same time changed back to human form, although they were unconscious, their goal had been achieved.
"It's done!"
Andre was overjoyed, he looked at Yi Fan, and saw that Yi Fan really didn't have too much weakness, so he started practicing in rows according to the original plan.
Coherent sprints, coherent breaks, Yi Fan kept letting the red tassel spear smear blood through the eyebrows of the knights, making them turn back to their original state.
"Little brother, do you want to take a break?"
"No, we can't afford to wait. Yi Fan's answer made Andre nod heavily.
The rhythm picked up in waves, and when most of the people rushed out of the inscription circle, Andre was ready to go and break through in person.
Andrei went to break ...... There's a big problem here.
With his strength, if he turns into a monster, it may cause many difficulties for the troops......
But the troops couldn't do without him, so they could only take a risk.
