Chapter 42: The War of the Three Kingdoms
Dragon Fist led the army directly to Rain City, all the way without stopping, the sky has gradually darkened, but it has not yet reached Rain City.
"How far is it from Rain City now?" Dragon Fist asked Lan Kai's guards when he saw that it was getting late.
"Young Marshal, Rain City is closer to the Starry Night Province, if we don't stop now and go all the way, we should be able to reach it in the middle of the night. The guard replied.
"In that case, let's rush over to the rescue immediately, how many centaurs does Lan Kai have on his hands now?" Dragon Fist continued to ask.
"Governor Lankai only had 200,000 horses when he was at the border pass, and now he has retreated all the way to Yucheng, and it would be good to have 100,000 horses left, so please ask the young marshal to rush to the rescue as soon as possible." "The guards are worried about what happened to Lankai right now.
"Well, now you talk about the terrain near Rain City, tonight we can surprise the allied forces of the two countries according to the terrain and catch him off guard!"
"Yes, young marshal!" the guard was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately explained the terrain near Rain City to Dragon Fist in detail.
And on the fortress near Rain City, Lan Kai was in a fierce competition with the heart maniac, Lan Kai wielded a big sword at this time, and a huge blade full of wind attribute fighting energy flew towards the heart.
The heart madness struck with a double axe, and the golden earth-attribute fighting qi was sandwiched on the sharp blade, and the sharp blade shattered like glass with a bang. The heart madness took advantage of the situation to pursue, brandishing the double axe and rushing towards Lan Kai, the two fought fiercely, the strong fighting spirit completely wrapped the two, others could not approach, and in the continuous competition, Lan Kai gradually was at a disadvantage, and the heart mania had the upper hand.
On the ground, the soldiers of the two coalition forces also slowly attacked the fortress, although the fortress was strong, but with more than 100,000 horses of Lan Kai, it could not stop the million-strong army of the two countries.
"Lan Kai, I think you are a talent, I advise you again, surrender. The Minglong Empire is now a plate of scattered sand, and you have to see the situation clearly in this troubled era. "The heart is crazy at this time, trying to find a way to buy Lan Kai.
"Haha, I know better than you what the situation of my Ming Dragon Empire is, if you are not afraid of us, why do you need the alliance of the two countries to come over, don't get carried away after a few victories at once!" Lan Kai didn't appreciate it.
"Hmph, then you will die today!" "The heart frenzy first urged ten percent of the fighting spirit to launch the most fierce offensive against Lan Kai.
Lan Kai also fought back with his sword, but he also saw the situation on the ground battlefield, the fortress had been shattered, and his army had been beaten back.
There was no point in dwelling with the heart maniac now, and Lan Kai had no choice but to order the army to retreat to Rain City, and now he only hoped that the reinforcements would arrive soon.
After receiving the order to retreat from Lankay, the ground forces began to slowly retreat to Rain City, and the dilapidated fortress was finally occupied by the combined forces of the two countries.
After Lan Kai saw that his army had retreated to Rain City, he no longer entangled with the heart maniac and flew back to the head of the city of Rain City, but the heart madness did not take advantage of the situation to pursue, and the two coalition forces did not cost a lot to capture the fortress, and the soldiers were killed and wounded countless times. Now that it was getting late, in order to avoid an ambush, after discussing with the commander of the Lingyun Empire, he decided to simply repair the fortress as a stronghold first, let the soldiers rest for a while, and then find a way to capture Rain City at night.
And after Lan Kai led his remnants back to Rain City, he was as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and the reinforcements would definitely not be able to hold this Rain City if they didn't arrive, with the current crazy onslaught of the two coalition forces, I am afraid that the people of this city will suffer.
As night fell, the combined forces of the two countries were also ready to attack Rain City.
"Commander Yun, do you really think we can take Rain City tonight?" After arranging the army, the heart frenzy got on his horse and asked Yun Split.
"Crazy prince, we have fought all the way from the wind and rain pass, where have we suffered defeats, the Minglong Empire is in civil strife, it seems that we really have no intention of defending the frontier anymore, we will definitely have no problem taking the rain city in one go tonight. Yun Crack said confidently.
"Okay, since Commander Yun is so confident, I will be responsible for leading the troops to attack the city gate, how about you take a few Sky Warriors to fly directly into the city and take Lan Kai?" Xin laughed wildly.
"Haha, since the mad-hearted prince can look down on me so much, I'll go in and bring Lan Kai out to see you!"
After saying that, Heart Maniac and Cloud Crack led the army to set off according to the plan. Heartbeat led the ground troops directly to attack the city gate, first using the mage to carry out a long-range attack, resisting some of the crossbow arrows in Rain City, and then ordering the warriors to rush to the city gate, all kinds of chariots and ladders came in handy, and Lan Kai could only use crossbow arrows and mages to counterattack.
"Damn, reinforcements haven't arrived yet. Lan Kai secretly scolded, if this continues, the entire Wind and Rain Province will fall.
"Lan Kai, isn't it too lonely for you to sit on the city wall, I'll bring a few brothers to accompany you. At this time, Cloud Crack had already flown up the city wall with a few Sky Warriors, killed a few crossbowmen, and walked directly towards Lan Kai.
"Bastard!" was forced to such a point, Lan Kai had to pick up the big knife and fight back, and immediately led several Sky Warriors to rush over and fight together.
On the other side, Dragon Fist had already led the army to the vicinity of Rain City, and now he ordered the army to stop first and prepare for a surprise attack.
"According to the terrain you said, the best way for us to wait is to divide our troops into two ways and surprise the combined forces of the two countries from both sides of Rain City. Dragon Fist said to Lan Kai's guard.
"Okay, young marshal, I don't know if the fortress has been lost now, you can act on the opportunity. The guard said.
"Well, now you go back and tell Lan Kai about our arrival, so you can be prepared. Dragon Fist said.
"Okay!" the guard had already taken a step forward.
Dragon Fist ordered the army to divide into two groups and go around the perimeter of Rain City, the terrain on both sides of Rain City was relatively flat, which would not affect the time of marching.
The combined forces of the two countries are now violently attacking the gates of the Rain City, and rectangular chariots are constantly bombarding the gates under the push of the soldiers.
"Yes, that's it, hit me, the city gate is about to break!" commanded the madman.
At this moment, torches lit up on both sides of the rain city, like two fire dragons swimming towards the two coalition forces, and soon they bypassed the rain city, surrounded the two coalition forces from both sides, and had already ordered the crossbowmen to shoot at the two coalition forces with rockets.
"What's the situation?" "The heart madness was attacked by a rocket and was taken aback: "Could it be that the reinforcements from the Minglong Empire are coming? It can't be so fast." ”
The heart madness did not expect that the Minglong Empire would deal with the civil strife so quickly, and quickly sent reinforcements, and immediately ordered the coalition forces to carefully ambush and prepare to retreat.
In the back, Long Ming led a team of magicians to prepare to attack.
"Is it okay to attack now, my father is in danger, let me in!" A girl was crying, she was Lan Lan, and Lan Kai was her father, she wanted to rush into the city immediately to see how her father was doing, but was stopped by Long Ming.
"Lan Lan, I know you're worried about your father, but now it's dangerous for us magicians to go in, your father is a sky warrior, and it's fine. Long Ming could only comfort her like this, and he hadn't ordered the magician to go out yet.
