Chapter 38: The Eve of the Decisive Battle
A mighty procession marched through the woods, and the recruits, who had not been trained for a few days, set out on their journey.
Mai directly led 2,500 red-clothed soldiers to the front of the team, and 20,000 black-clothed soldiers were handed over to Yan Ling's command.
Don't look at Yan Ling as a pet archer, she is basically responsible for reconnaissance, but her strength and ability are still good, and she is thoughtful.
Along the way, a lot of spies were dispatched, and Yan Ling released the Golden Eagle Yan to investigate. Of course, the march of the large army was not as fast as the cavalry, and it was estimated that it would take 20 days to reach the city of Kodom.
No one from the Dark Alliance was found along the way. After all, Wheat's troops have been gone for almost a month. I guess the people of the Dark Alliance thought they weren't in the rear anymore.
More than 20,000 men marched in just 17 days to reach the vicinity of the city of Kodom.
After investigation, there were not many troops on the defensive. This is also understandable, after all, the front is about to fight a big battle, and only a few defenders can be left in the rear.
More than 20,000 troops suddenly appeared, and the soldiers defending the city trembled in fright, and some of them directly dropped their weapons and fled. Those who are not afraid of death shout "enemy attack, enemy attack" defense.
But it was all in vain. As soon as Wheat gave the order to attack the city, all the troops rushed straight up, which was just for the recruits to practice and practice the actual combat experience.
Wheat sat on the horse's back and watched quietly, without interfering. The battlefield was filled with smoke, shouts, begs for mercy.
Blood soon stained the earth, and the battlefield gradually fell silent. There is no doubt that it was a crushing victory.
Everyone was cleaning up the battlefield and collecting the spoils, which undoubtedly increased the confidence of the recruits. But Wheat knew that a more brutal war was yet to come.
In the distance, Yan Ling was riding a snow-white horse, facing her, heroic and cool.
Yan Ling said softly, "My lord, the battlefield has been cleaned up, 2,300 enemies have been annihilated, and a large number of grain, grass and weapons have been captured. ”
"Order the troops to assemble and attack Ronghui City next." Wheat commanded.
The next attack on Ronghui City was unhindered, and the battle ended in half an hour.
Wheat decided to rest in Ronghui City for a night before continuing the march, after all, it was a rapid march along the way, and it was time to rest and prepare for the cruel war that followed.
Ronghui City Lord's Mansion, Wheat and Yan Ling had dinner together. To put it bluntly, Mai really likes Yan Ling's reconnaissance and the ability to manage the army.
Don't just look at her as just a woman, but you can do things fiercely and never drag the mud and water.
Wheat teased while eating: "Yan Ling, it's difficult for you, a female general, to find a boyfriend." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Ling sprayed the rice in her mouth directly onto the wheat noodles, and the scene was as embarrassing as it was.
"My lord, I'm sorry I didn't mean to, who told you to say that all of a sudden." Yan Ling said with a flushed face.
"Anyway, it's boring to eat, let's talk about why you want to join the army, a very young girl will join the army." Wheat said as he cleaned up the rice on the noodles.
"My lord, this is the privacy of my subordinates."
"Oh, don't be so old-fashioned, tell me if there's anything, what kind of man do you like, I'll introduce you to one in the army." The wheat thief said with a smile.
"My lord, what kind of woman do you like?" Yan Ling opened the topic and led the topic to Wheat.
"Of course it's beautiful, with a beautiful figure, convex and backward." As he spoke, the wheat saliva was about to flow out, so he immediately picked up the chicken leg and took a bite to hide the embarrassment.
I saw Yan Ling put down the dishes and chopsticks in her hand and stood up, bent down and stroked her body, and whispered, "My lord, how am I." ”
Suddenly, before the wheat could react, he said, "Yes, yes, everything is available." ”
"Eh, Yan Ling, what are you doing, it's forbidden to mess around in the army." Wheat suddenly said embarrassedly.
Yan Ling smiled lightly and said, "My lord, what do you want?" Hehe. ”
At this time, a golden eagle swallow flew in from outside and flew directly onto Yan Ling's shoulder.
Yan Ling took out a letter from the feet of the golden eagle swallow and gave it to Wheat.
When Wheat opened the letter, he saw that it was a message from the Tiger Commander, and the letter wrote: "The decisive battle is imminent, return quickly, and wait for the opportunity to move." ”
In just 10 words, we can reflect the urgency of the war. I wanted to have a good night's rest, but now I have to gather my troops and set off immediately.
"Yan Ling, gather the troops and set off immediately."
"Yes, sir."
It will take 4 days to get from here to the capital of the Southern Regions, Secret City, at the earliest, so I hope I can catch up.
After a few days of traveling, in the mountains and forests 30 miles away from the city of secrets, the army under the command of Wheat was stationed.
Yan Ling's Golden Eagle Swallow is easy to find among the powerhouses of the Dark Alliance. So this time, I asked Wheat to personally go to investigate the military situation.
"The order went down, and everyone rested in place. The troops were temporarily led by Yan Ling. ”
After saying that, the wheat convergence breath headed towards the Secret City, constantly shuttling through the woods.
The closer you get to the City of Secrets, the stronger the smell of burning, blood, and the rotting of corpses in the air. Ordinary people must vomit again and again when they smell such a smell.
Gradually approaching the city of secrets, I saw that the inner and outer three layers were surrounded by water, and even a fly didn't want to fly in.
Everywhere was filled with shouts and wails, and all kinds of dazzling skills rushed through the entire Secret City.
Neither side had a big battle, it was just a mutual temptation, mutual attrition.
It wasn't until late evening that the Dark Alliance's army returned to their camp.
Wheat was not in a hurry to enter the city, after all, the army of the Dark Alliance had just retreated, and if he entered the city now, he would inevitably think that the enemy was under attack.
Don't look at the Turning Metaverse as a strong person, but in this large-scale war, if you are not careful, you will be blown into slag, so it is better to be careful.
Wheat waited until nightfall before galloping out of the forest towards the east gate of the Secret City. But when there was still a hundred meters away from the city gate, the army in the city gave a signal of enemy attack.
Countless skill attacks and arrow feathers poured down, but fortunately, the wheat dodged in time, otherwise the skin would have fallen off if he didn't die.
After dodging the attack, Wheat immediately shouted, "Tiger Ben commands the captain Wang Mai." He then tossed the token to the soldiers on the city walls.
The soldiers who received the token immediately reported to the upper ranks, but the soldiers would not stop attacking until their identities were confirmed.
Who knows if you are true or not, in case it is fake, it is you who kills and dies, so the soldiers on the city wall are constantly attacking.
Wheat helplessly dodged countless arrows and skill attacks.
After a while, Deputy Commander Knox also hurried in. And ordered the soldiers to stop the attack.
The wheat under the city finally breathed a sigh of relief, and for a moment the wheat was already very embarrassed.
I saw wheat come to the bottom of the city, jumped to the top of the city. He bowed respectfully to Deputy Commander Notch.
Deputy Commander Notch didn't see it, and stepped forward to give him a big bear hug. said with a smile: "It's been hard along the way, it's good to be back." ”
Wheat responded, "Deputy Commander Nuoqi, how can you say that I can't come back." ”
Deputy Commander Nuoqi didn't talk nonsense with him, and took him to see Commander Huben with wheat.
