Chapter 425: Savior
In the early morning, the dense fog shrouded the entire Daojiang River, and it was not even possible to see what the demons on the other side were doing, the only thing that could be felt was the sound of flapping wings from the sky, the Winged People, that was the scout army of the demons.
......
"Take my bow..."
On the path outside the fortress, Qin Yin was dressed in a straight dark blue female imperial military uniform, and behind her was draped in a blue purple flower empress robe, she took a bow from the hand of the attendant, and the divine light in her beautiful eyes flowed, and she suddenly pulled out the war bow and aimed at the sky, she could not see anything in the fog, she could only listen to the voice, and the arrow left the string with a "whoosh", and the next moment, a winged man in the air screamed miserably and landed in the jungle in front of her.
"Your Highness is a good archery..."Feng Jixing couldn't help but admire.
Qin Yin stood there a little suspiciously, as if after cultivating the dragon slaying technique, the spiritual sense of the whole person was much clearer.
Qu Chu on the side rode on the war horse, and said with a smile: "Your Highness does not need to doubt that the mysterious power of the dragon slaying technique comes from the dragon clan, and the ancient divine dragon clan is far more sensitive to breath than humans, so His Highness's perception of breath and spiritual sense may be comparable to Ah Yu, who cultivates the spirit vein technique, but ...... His Highness's archery is really good. ”
Qin Yin's eyes turned red: "This archery technique is the ...... my father taught me"
Qu Chu and Feng Jixing were silent for a while.
Everyone walked slowly on the path, a total of 5,000 forbidden army iron horsemen were on the left and right, plus Qu Chu, Feng Jixing, and Qin Yan, I am afraid that even if Luo Lan came in person, he would not be able to help Qin Yin.
The river flowed endlessly, and Qin Yin rode his horse, and one by one the god-binding locks that turned into dragon shapes were around him, full of majesty, so that a group of forbidden soldiers did not even dare to look up at Her Royal Highness the beautiful empress.
Qin Yin suddenly got off the horse, the little man's boots stepped on the grass by the water, and led the horse, the horse wanted to eat grass, but she didn't let it, and led it all the way, making the wind follow the line for it.
"Whoa......
Suddenly, a splash of water burst out from under the empress's boots. Qin Yin couldn't help but let out a "huh", and stood there dumbfounded, looking thoughtful.
"What's the matter, Your Highness?" asked Feng Jixing.
Qin Yin frowned and said: "When I walked here yesterday, the water level of the Daojiang River was not here, but it arrived today, and the water level rose by at least one meter, which ...... The water won't rise so quickly in the spring, will it?"
"It's really not that fast. Feng Jixing smiled slightly: "But...... What did Your Highness think?"
"Hmm. ”
Qin Yin frowned lightly and said, "Wind Commander, I have thought of a very terrible situation...... Do you think the demons will fill up the Daojiang River and try to attack the steel parapet with heavy equipment? If the water level really rises, I'm afraid they are already doing it. ”
"This ......"
Feng Jixing trembled, and his face turned pale: "Come on, immediately hurry up and search the way downstream, and report back to me as soon as there is any change in the demon clan..."
"Yes, Commander..."
A group of forbidden iron horsemen galloped away.
The downstream cuts off the river, and the upstream water level rises, this is basic common sense, Feng Jixing and Qin Yin's hearts are completely cold, you can't underestimate the shallow wind, you must not underestimate the wisdom of this demon commander, otherwise it will be a catastrophe in exchange...
......
The scorching sun dispelled the fog, and at noon, a forbidden army iron rider galloping on the riverside looked at the opposite bank in amazement, where a large number of armored demons were coming and going in a hurry, carrying hundreds of pounds of sacks full of dirt on their shoulders, galloping quickly, throwing the sacks into the river, and the demons were really filling up the river...
The river has been cut off halfway, and the forbidden army's iron horsemen retreated again and again with pale faces, and rode their horses and shouted: "Hurry up and send the feather book to the wind commander, the demon clan has filled the river twenty miles west of the ferry in Shanlin Town..."
After noon, a large number of human armies gathered by the river.
Qin Yin, Feng Jixing, and Xiang Yu personally supervised the battle, and the imperial soldiers with heavy shields set up a defensive line by the river, and watched the other party fill the river.
"No, you can't let them do it. Feng Jixing's expression was cold, and he said: "Your Highness, please dispatch the sailor, and order Baili Cang to fight and destroy the embankment built by the demons, otherwise the embankment will be completed, and our disaster will come..."
"Hmm. ”
Qin Yin turned around and said, "Baili Cang, immediately lead the sailors into battle, and use ballistas, bows and arrows to force and disrupt the demon clan's embankment plan." ”
"Yes, Your Highness..."
The drums of war rumbled, and dozens of naval warships docked on the shore slowly sailed around the embankment, and the deck was full of archers with longbows, about 50 meters away from the embankment, and ten thousand arrows were fired in unison, and the armor demons on the embankment continued to fall into the water for a while, and the powerful ballista steel arrows could penetrate the carapace of the demons and kill them directly.
The armor demons on the embankment were in chaos, at this moment, a high-ranking demon general covered in blood and demon breath rode his horse, holding a long sword high, shouting the demon language, and soon, one by one, the armor demon picked up a shield shining in the sun from behind to block around the embankment, and suddenly most of the arrows were ejected, and the demon sack was still "bang, bang" into the water, constantly cutting off the endless Daojiang tributary.
"It's not good......"
Xiang Yu gritted his teeth and said, "It's really hateful that the demon clan actually came up with such a despicable method. ”
Feng continued to frown: "Send the order, let the sailor use a catapult to throw the oil drum full of beech oil on the embankment, and then shoot the rocket, I will see if these armor demons can continue to build the dam in the flames..."
"Yes..."
Soon after, catapults continued to shoot out on the warship, and barrels of wooden barrels filled with beech oil fell into the embankment and water, and all the broken streams that fell into the embankment overflowed, and the water actually floated on the water, not damaged, and the next moment, dozens of warships fired thousands of arrows, and suddenly the armor demons on the embankment fell into the sea of fire, and the screams were continuous.
"Roar..."
A demon suddenly scooped up a bucket of beech oil from the water, bent his body slightly, and suddenly threw the oil drum out, smashing it on the deck of the warship with a "bang", and the high-ranking demon general raised his longbow, and a rocket accurately landed on the warship, igniting the accumulated beech oil for a while, and exploded, the entire warship was full of flames, and the sailors fell into the water one after another, and a ship was destroyed.
Qin Yinxiu's eyebrows frowned, she was silent, her heart became more and more heavy, the demon clan's tactics of filling the river were almost incomprehensible, once they succeeded, they could really only rely on the steel retaining wall to protect the imperial capital.
"They stopped damming. Su Muyun squinted his eyes and said, "However, it's only temporary." ”
Su Yu said, "Your Highness, what should we do?"
"The beech oil won't burn for long. ”
Qin Yin sighed lightly and said: "Pass the order, stock up a large number of arrows, stones and other defensive equipment on the steel parapet, and prepare to rely on the steel parapet to guard the demon clan, the sailor warships will immediately leave the tributaries of the Daojiang River and go to the main stream of the Daojiang River to standby, otherwise once the river is blocked, our warships will all fall into the hands of the demons." ”
"Yes, Your Highness..."Bai Li Cang said respectfully, clenching his fists.
Qin Yin looked at Feng Jixing again, and said: "Commander of the wind, the sailor also obeys your dispatch and looks for opportunities, once the demon clan is negligent, the sailor warship can directly dock on the east bank and send the army to burn the granary of the demon clan, once the food is cut off, the demon clan will not be able to support it for too long." ”
"Yes, Your Highness, the last general will obey..."
Feng Jixing took a deep look at the rushing Daojiang River.
......
The western frontier of the empire, the Endless Forest, the Valley of the Dragon.
A group of barbarian warriors slowly walked out of the valley surrounded the great barbarian god, this was the first formal meeting and conversation after the war was launched, and the war drums were very gentle, showing the heart of peace between the two sides.
Lin Muyu got off the horse and took Tang Xiaoxi, Tang Zhen, Wei Qiu and others to meet him, and the two sides stood still in the forest glade.
"It's been a long time, Patriarch. Lin Muyu hugged his fists and smiled.
The Great Barbarian God seemed to be many years old, his expression was a little depressed, and he said with a smile: "Led by Lin Muyu, the Great Barbarian Wilderness Clan will never be conquered, but today, we can conclude a friendship and alliance between the two clans here. ”
"That's nature. ”
Lin Muyu said with a smile: "Although the Great Barbarian Race and the Human Race are of different races, they are both human beings, and they are in the same vein, and the Great Barbarian Race is in trouble, and the Human Empire will naturally not stand idly by." ”
"Thank you, Commander. The Great Barbarian God smiled slightly and said, "What does the Commander mean...... Our barbarian people can stay in the Endless Forest to recuperate, provided that you are provided with excellent warriors, right?"
"Yes. ”
"The barbarian warriors are all descendants of the ancient barbarian gods, our bloodline is very pure, and the life of every barbarian warrior is very precious, this is ...... The Commander should understand, right?"
"I know that I will do my best to ensure their safety, and once a barbarian warrior is martyred, I will naturally subsidize you with enough gold. ”
"According to the Golden Coins of the Human Empire, after a barbarian warrior dies in battle, how many Golden Coins will be subsidized to us?"
"A hundred. Lin Muyu said.
"A hundred?" The Great Barbarian God frowned and said, "Father, birth and mother, they are all fresh lives, they could have lived a carefree life, is it only worth a hundred gold coins?"
Lin Muyu said: "The empire is at war, and the economy is also very sluggish, I have enough, and the pension for the death of the imperial soldiers is only fifty gold coins." ”
"However, the total population of the Barbarian Race has shrunk from more than 10 million people to less than a million, and we can't afford to lose more, besides, this is a war between humans and demons, and it has nothing to do with our Great Barbarian Race at all. ”
The patriarch is like an old fox, exploiting Lin Muyu, the poor "conqueror", little by little.
"Well, one hundred and fifty gold coins, absolutely no more. Lin Muyu said.
"The Lord is merciful..."
The patriarch continued: "The Great Barbarian Clan is inherited from the ancient barbarian gods, and we have a proud bloodline, and we will never submit to any empire, this ...... The Commander should understand, right?"
"I know. ”
Lin Muyu arched his hand and said: "Don't worry, the Great Barbarian Clan moved to the south of the Endless Forest, gave you land, and became an independent country, you are still the lord of the Great Barbarian Country, no one can order you, and your relationship with me is just a friend." ”
The patriarch smiled: "Lord Commander, you are really the savior of our Great Barbarian Clan..."
