Chapter 236: The Blood Lion Emperor Who Receives Profits

At the same time, the news of the Sea Dragon Emperor's killing finally reached the Blood Lion Empire, which was the farthest away from the Blue Dragon Empire.

After the Blood Lion Emperor learned the news, he immediately grieved for the death of this fellow clan, and even cried in front of the main hall.

However, he was not slow at all in his movements, and immediately sent a large army to receive the territories of the Hanhai Empire that were close to the Blood Lion Empire, and in order to prevent these territories from being occupied by the Blue Dragon Empire.

If the Sea Dragon Emperor learned that he had just died, the Blood Lion Emperor, who used to be his brother and brother, was in a hurry to annex his territory, he was afraid that he would die again and angrily.

As for the Golden Eagle Empire, due to the previous series of wars, its national strength has suffered a heavy loss, and at this time, it is simply unable to expand, so it can only watch the army of the Blood Lion Empire continue to annex the territory that originally belonged to the Hanhai Empire.

It was only at this time that they discovered that their enemy was not only the Blue Dragon Empire, but also this ally who seemed to be very reliable before, after all, now that the Blood Lion Emperor was able to annex the territory of the Hanhai Empire so without any scruples, once they waited until their Golden Eagle Empire was gone, the other party would definitely not mind stabbing them in the back and sending them on their way in advance.

It's a pity that even if they realize this now, it's a little late, because the Blood Lion Empire can be said to be the best-preserved beast empire on the Central Continent now.

Except for a few small battles with the Iron Bear Empire before, they were in a state of confrontation most of the time, and the army did not lose much at all, but during this period, many soldiers were recruited into the army, resulting in its current strength reaching almost 10 million. Once it invades the Golden Eagle Empire, the Golden Eagle Empire, which has not had time to breathe, may be difficult to resist.

As a result, the Golden Eagle Empire, which is now recuperating, also began to quietly increase troops on the border near the Blood Lion Empire, apparently becoming extremely wary of this ally.

Guo Dafu didn't know about these changes, but at this time, he was personally leading 30,000 elite heavy cavalry to attack the territory of the Hanhai Empire.

Don't look at the heavy cavalry under his command are all cold weapons, but they are the absolute elite of the army, generally as long as they don't encounter any strong big cities, ordinary towns can basically be captured within a day.

Gu Sanjun was a squadron leader of this cavalry unit, and at this time, he was leading a hundred soldiers under his command to attack a small town of the Hanhai Empire.

The town in front of me looks small, with a population of five or six thousand at most, and the defenders are only a pitiful three hundred, so it is more than enough to send soldiers from their squadron to attack.

When the defenders of the town saw that the enemy had arrived, they closed the gates of the city, and even blocked them with a large amount of rubble and earth behind them.

However, Gu Sanjun and the others were not ready to attack from the city gate at all, but were ready to attack the city wall directly, after all, the city wall of this town was only more than five meters high, and a warrior with better skills could jump up.

When they were still more than 200 meters away from the town, Gu Sanjun and the others used special hard bows to continuously fire arrows at the defenders on the city wall to suppress the fire.

Relying on their strong cultivation, this kind of pulling force is at least in the hard bow of thousands of catties, and they can easily pull away, and then shoot the arrow easily to the city wall more than two hundred meters away.

And the defender crossbowmen on the city wall couldn't shoot them at such a distance, after all, most of the garrisons in this town were some garrisons of the second line of the Hanhai Empire, and their strength was very weak, and the bows and arrows they used could shoot more than a hundred meters away at most.

As for ballistas and trebuchets, there are none of them in this remote town. This caused them to face a rain of arrows shot by Gu Sanjun, and they had no power to fight back, and soon more than a dozen defenders fell with arrows.

And once hit by an arrow shot by this hard bow, it is not much different from taking a full-power rifle bullet, even if you wear iron armor, you will be directly pierced through the body, even if you don't die for a short time, you have no combat effectiveness.

As Gu Sanjun and them got closer and closer, the hit rate of the arrow continued to increase, and a defender with a heavy crossbow just wanted to lean out and release the arrow, but he was shot in the head by an arrow shot from outside the city wall, and the white flower's brain splashed the surrounding comrades, frightening these Hanhai Empire soldiers who had never been on the battlefield to fight screamed again and again.

In the end, after more than 30 casualties, the remaining defenders no longer dared to shoot arrows, even if the officers kept whipping them.

After all, although it hurts to be whipped a few times, at least you won't die! And if you continue to risk getting up and firing arrows, there is a high probability that you will be shot by the enemy, so in order to save your life, what is it to take a few whips!

Seeing this, the officers of the Hanhai Empire had no choice but to hide behind the city wall like other soldiers.

Gu Sanjun and the others were able to ride their war horses and quickly approach the city wall. When they approached a distance of about ten meters behind the city wall, Gu Sanjun and the dozens of cavalrymen in the front row grabbed their spears one after another, and then threw them at the earthen wall of the town.

With the blessing of their powerful brute strength, these spears, like giant crossbow arrows shot from ballistas, pierced deep into the wall of the earthen wall at a height of about two meters.

Then Gu Sanjun and his cavalry got up on horseback when they were about to rush to the front of the city wall, and finally stepped the horseback, and jumped directly onto the spear inserted in the wall.

After stepping on this spear with both feet, and borrowing strength one last time, even Gu Sanjun, who was wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor, successfully jumped to the last height of more than two meters, and finally landed on the city wall with both legs.

At this time, it was too late for the defenders who had been hiding behind the city wall to hide their ears and steal the bell, Gu Sanjun pulled out the sharp saber on his waist, and with one slash, he cut a defender who was holding a spear and stabbed him in the chest, and all the people and weapons were cut in two.

Because there were more than two hundred defenders on the city wall, the number was far more than Gu Sanjun and the others who had already landed in the city, so Gu Sanjun and the others were soon surrounded by several defenders.

If it were ordinary soldiers, in the face of this kind of siege, I am afraid that they would soon be defeated, but Gu Sanjun and they were heavily armored, and they all wore a black ghost mask with blue faces and fangs on the front door, and those defenders' weapons hit them, at most, they would rub out some sparks, and they would not be able to cause any effective damage to them at all, and Gu Sanjun and they could chop these defenders who were just wearing some rudimentary leather armor to death, so even if they fought more with less, Gu Sanjun and the others also quickly defeated these defenders who did not have much fighting spirit, and then Gu Sanjun let ten of his subordinates continue to guard the city wall, while he led the others to quickly go down the city, opened the city gate, and let in the dozens of cavalry who were still waiting outside the city.

As soon as the city gate opened, the dozens of heavily armored cavalry who had been waiting impatiently for a long time rushed into the city as soon as possible, and Gu Sanjun also followed his men after getting on his own war horse and killed the city lord's mansion in the center of the city.

Some of the previously routed defenders and hundreds of family guards from wealthy families in the city were now gathering there, preparing for the final defense at the city lord's mansion.

In order to be able to restrain the charge of Gu Sanjun and his heavy cavalry, these guys even piled up all kinds of miscellaneous items on the not very spacious street, forming a barricade more than three meters behind and more than two meters high.

It's a pity that all this is still in vain, even if Gu Sanjun and they dismount, they are all hoplites armed to the teeth, where can these poorly equipped garrisons and private guards be able to defeat!

Looking at the barricades hurriedly piled up by the other party in front of him, a trace of disdain flashed in Gu Sanjun's eyes, and after holding the reins and letting the war horse stop, he shouted to the enemy not far away from the opposite side for the last time: "Finally, give you a chance, immediately put down your weapons and surrender, otherwise, after we attack in, there will be no one left!" ”

If it was another town, after hearing Gu Sanjun's murderous threatening words, there was a good chance that they would surrender immediately.

But the officials and upper-class wealthy families in this town were obviously some diehards of the Sea Dragon Emperor, and as soon as Gu Sanjun finished speaking, an arrow flew from behind the barricade and hit his breastplate with a pop.

Although this arrow couldn't even leave a single dent on his armor, and was directly bounced out by the sturdy armor, Gu Sanjun was still very angry, because this was completely a provocation!

And since these guys don't eat toasts, then they can only invite the other party to eat and drink, so Gu Sanjun directly turned over and dismounted, and then pulled out a more tensile step bow from the weapon rack on the side of the saddle, and pulled out a wolf's tooth arrow full of barbs, and then returned an arrow to the small officer of the Hanhai Empire who had just released the arrow.

With a bang, the arrow was shot out like lightning in the sound of the bowstring, and the junior officer of the Hanhai Empire didn't even have a chance to dodge, so he was shot in the chest by an arrow, and then the arrow carrying terrifying power directly pierced through the iron armor on his body, and finally completely penetrated his entire body, penetrated through his back, and shot over a defender behind him, before exhausting his strength.

And the little officer of the Hanhai Empire, during this period, half of his chest was completely shattered by the wolf fang arrows with many barbs, and as the arrows pierced through his back, a bright red blood mist also burst out. After that, the little officer of the Hanhai Empire didn't even have the strength to scream, and his body immediately fell softly, and the blood in his mouth and wounds gushed out as if he didn't want money, and he completely lost his breath in a few seconds.

The power of this arrow frightened the defenders who had just fled all the way from the city wall to this place again, but those family members, under the shouting of their masters, picked up various bows and crossbows one by one, and shot a large rain of arrows towards Gu Sanjun and them again.

Gu Sanjun noticed that there were actually several heavy crossbows in it, and the crossbow arrows shot by these heavy crossbows, at such a close distance, if they hit the gap in their armor, it was still possible to cause them some minor injuries, so Gu Sanjun asked several of his subordinates with big shields to step forward to form a shield wall and block most of the arrows, while Gu Sanjun and the others picked up long-range weapons such as bows and arrows or javelin throwing axes one by one, and launched a counterattack against those enemy troops who were still resisting.
