Chapter 389: The Battle of Handu (1)
Susa Neng's huge blue body gradually disappeared in mid-air, and Xia Yu lowered his head and glanced at the dense hundred ghost army below with an indifferent expression. Feeling Xia Yu's cold gaze, the hearts of all the hundred ghost soldiers were violently raised, and their life and death were only between Xia Yu's thoughts.
However, Xia Yu only glanced at them, but did nothing, and then turned into a white streamer and headed straight to the north.
For Xia Yu, these low-value targets are not worth his attack at all, besides, there are 100,000 ghost troops stationed on Beihua Mountain, how long will Xia Yu kill alone? After all, Tai Academy is the hard work of Qin Bo's life.
Leaving the Tai Academy, Xia Yu flew all the way north at full speed, he wanted to rush back to Han as soon as possible, the rout of Hua Guo made him anxious, and he was most worried about the safety of Wan'er and Xia Xue now.
And at this time, Xia Yu didn't know that the Battle of Handu had begun.
........................
The cold wind was howling, and the sky was gloomy and gloomy.
"Knock! knock! knock!"
In the sound of the earth-shattering war drums, the 500,000 troops of the Snow Country, divided into five neat rectangular phalanxes, slowly pressed towards the Han capital like dark clouds, with flags covering the sky and swords like a forest. The snow flag soldiers are all dressed in white armor, and from a distance, they look like surging snow waves, and their momentum is monstrous! Their steps are accompanied by the drumbeat of war drums, and they step on the earth neatly and powerfully, and every step they take, they can clearly feel that the earth is trembling slightly, and the expressions of each snow flag soldier are as cold and sharp as the weapons in their hands, and the bodies of each snow flag soldier are filled with a fierce and murderous aura, and the 300,000 snow flag soldiers are together, and the monstrous murderous aura is like a mountain pressing on the city of Handu. Handu is like a flat boat in the waves, stormy and precarious.
On the tall and majestic walls of the Han capital, the soldiers of the Han State were already ready for battle, some of them were defeated soldiers who had retreated from the north, some were newly recruited recruits, and some were even wounded. With illness, at this moment, facing the Snow Empire among the three major empires, facing the most elite snow banner soldiers of the Snow Empire, they are as strong and stubborn as a great wall of steel, and there is no fear on their young faces, there is no hesitation, there is only the determination to see death as if they were at home and the courage to tear the enemy apart, because they know. Their fathers, mothers, wives and children are all in this city, and anyone who tries to hurt a single hair of their relatives will fight to the end!
Xia Zhenfeng was dressed in black armor, standing on the city wall with murderous vigour, this former elite disciple of the Xia family, is now the general of the Han State, commanding all 200,000 troops in the Han capital, and was ordered to defend the Han capital to the death.
Xia Zhenfeng has always given people the impression of a taciturn tough guy. But this time, when he stood on the city wall and saw the mighty Snow Country army below. His heart couldn't help but feel cold. Although nominally, there are still 200,000 defenders available in Handu, in fact, half of these 200,000 defenders are the Northern Army that has just retired from the front line and has been disabled, and half are recruits who have just been conscripted, and their combat effectiveness can be imagined. What's more, the 500,000 Snow Banner Soldiers, all of whom have experienced a hundred battles, are the elite divisions of the elite divisions, and if they are confronted head-on, it will be easy for the Snow Banner Soldiers to destroy these 200,000 people.
In fact. Compared with the Snow Country, although the national strength of the Han State is not as good as that of the Snow Empire, it is not so weak that it is defeated by the Snow Banner Soldiers. The fundamental reason why the dangerous predicament of today's national capital is that the Han State fought on two fronts, and the Snow Empire in the north and the Hundred Ghost Kingdom in the south attacked the Han State at the same time. The rapid defeat of Huaguo shook the world, and also greatly damaged the morale of the Han army, the Northern Army led by Bai Pengfei was originally the strongest force of the Han State, and the Snow Banner soldiers in the north for three years, but after Bai Pengfei was injured by the Snow Emperor Xuejing, the powerful Northern Army quickly collapsed.
Although Bai Pengfei lost the entire northern part of the Han Kingdom, no one would blame him. Just a month ago, Xue Jing successfully entered the half-immortal realm, he ascended the throne on the front line of the Northern Battlefield, and then fought a big battle with Bai Pengfei, as a result, Bai Pengfei was seriously injured and is still bedridden. So no one will blame Bai Pengfei, he can escape from the hands of the half-immortal powerhouse, it is already a great ability.
Now, in the face of this siege of the trapped beasts, Handu's only hope is to wait for reinforcements. At present, the 300,000 Han-Chinese coalition troops led by Wan'er are rushing towards Handu, and Wan'er has returned to Handu one step ahead of the coalition army. In addition, the Lei Empire also sent 100,000 elite iron cavalry to Handu to relieve the siege, and it is expected that after ten days, these two teams will arrive in Handu at the same time. So the order Xia Zhenfeng received from Xia Xue was: no matter what, you must hold on for ten days and wait for the arrival of reinforcements!
"Ten days ......" Xia Zhenfeng looked at the city with a firm gaze, and his two thick eyebrows were tightly locked together. "Even if it costs with my life, I must complete this task!"
While Xia Zhenfeng was watching the Snow Banner Army, another general was also observing the impregnable Han Capital City, he was Xue Zhen, the general of the Snow Country. He was dressed in silver armor, riding on a white horse, standing majestically and proudly in front of the three armies, when suddenly he raised his hand violently and roared: "Stop-!!"
A sound sounded, and the 500,000 snow banner soldiers immediately stopped in unison, and their movements were neat and terrifying.
"Drive!" Then Xue Zhen turned his horse's head, waved his horsewhip violently, and headed straight for the Chinese army.
In the middle of the Snow Banner Army, a luxurious open-top carriage pulled by eight majestic white horses slowly stopped, and a very handsome man sat on the car, in the murderous Snow Banner Army, facing an upcoming big battle, he seemed to be a spectator who had nothing to do with himself, with a pot of sake in front of him, a delicate and delicate wine glass, and was leisurely drinking himself.
Xia Zhenfeng's eyes followed Xue Zhen's figure, and then he noticed the carriage of the Chinese army, when he saw the man in the carriage, he seemed to be frightened, and his expression immediately changed: "That person......!
Snow shook the horse to the carriage, dismounted with a clean and neat movement, and then pounced and knelt on one knee in front of the carriage. "Your Majesty the Snow Emperor, the army has been prepared, please give the order!"
The snow was draped in his hair, leaning on the soft cushions, as if he had just woken up. He picked up the glass, raised his head and drank it down, and then, in a tone of evil and disdain, smiled and said, "Then let's begin." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, Xue Zhen immediately stood up, turned over and rode on his war horse, then pulled out his sword with a brush, raised his sword and shouted: "Prepare to attack !!"
The thick and powerful sound of Xue Zhen was wrapped in Yuan Li, and it instantly spread throughout the three armies! Then, the sound of the war drums that had been echoing over the army changed, and the drum beat began to become rapid and powerful, just like the blood-boiling heartbeat of the soldiers before the war, the flag soldiers played the banner of "preparing to attack", and the heralds rode fast horses to shuttle back and forth in the army, and for a while, the roars of the army resounded one after another.
"Prepare to attack!"
"Prepare to attack!"
"Prepare to attack!"
"Here we go. Xia Zhenfeng took a deep breath, tightly grasped the hilt of the sword in his hand, turned around, and yelled at the defenders on the city wall. "Prepare to meet the !!"
Xia Zhenfeng's magnificent voice resounded inside and outside the city wall, the flag soldiers and heralds immediately conveyed his orders, and the city walls and city walls began to sound one after another "ready to meet the enemy" and "ready to meet the enemy" roar, the Han army began to rush to move up, the soldiers pulled out their swords, clenched the spears in their hands, the archers pulled the hard bows in their hands like a full moon, and the arrows were raised high, ready to shoot the arrow rain of hatred into the enemy's chest at any time.
At this moment, both teams are ready for battle, and a bloody battle is coming! (To be continued......
