The adjutants pondered.

After a while, an adjutant spoke: "I remember that Demacia's communication method is a small magical beast of the same type as our blue-winged bird, and the speed is almost the same. With the distance between the two places, it takes as little as 12 hours to communicate critical information to each other. ”

Another lieutenant said, "That is, we must reach the location of another German army within twelve hours to be feasible." ”

Another adjutant said: "But at this distance, I am afraid it will take twenty hours for us to march at the fastest speed." ”

"If it's a normal section, it will naturally take so long."

Knowing the concerns of these adjutants, Demir had already thought of the arrangements and said, "Don't forget, where we are now. Ahead of us, there is a river that comes down from above. ”

As he spoke, Demir's hand pointed on the map: "And here, the slot canyon, is usually poured by the downward river water. However, there is a period of time in the summer when the height of the river does not go up to the canyon, and usually only reaches people's knees. And this, for us, is a shortcut that Demacia will never know. ”

His voice fell, and the lieutenants were in good spirits, and they all got up and went to the map to take a closer look.

As Noxians, they naturally know more about their own landscapes than Demacia.

And Demir was born in this area, and if he said it, then it's basically true.

"The total length of the canyon is about 1,500 meters, is it difficult for us Noxus men to cross this canyon?"

Demir continued: "Through the shortcut, you only need to advance another five to six kilometers to reach the position of the German army. ”

One adjutant pondered seriously: "If that's the case, it's really feasible." A normal march would require a detour around the mountains, but if you cross a slit gorge, you would save at least ten hours of our troops' time. ”

There is a problem with this strategy.

That's the arraignment.

It took only twelve hours for the two sides to interrogate, and twenty hours for the army to travel as fast as it could.

If they follow Demir's plan, they send the main army to raid another German army.

It is necessary to arrive after the prince's army discovers this and before sending a message to the German army.

This trick focuses on an information gap, on the surface, the army is defending against the attack of the prince's army, but in fact, the real main force has gone to raid another army.

This is a kind of confidence in Demier's vision of the war, and he believes that Demacia will definitely not be able to react.

No matter how quickly they were discovered, they could not communicate as fast as a rapid march.

Even an hour of space is enough to affect the outcome of a war.

"The opportunity to wipe out the German army in one fell swoop is at hand, and for us it is a risk, but it is also an invaluable opportunity."

Demir looked at his lieutenant general and explained: "Nashat, you lead 90,000 people to set off quickly, and follow the established route." ”

When Nashat heard this, he immediately stood up, his expression was serious and serious, and he ordered: "The subordinates will not let the general down!" ”

One of the adjutant worried, "But in this case, Bruan City"

Demir took over and said, "There are only 10,000 troops left in the city of Bruan, and in the face of the attack of the prince's army, it is only a matter of time before it is breached. In order to prevent accidents, our task is to delay as much time as possible, and the 70,000 prisoners of war traded today can be put on battle helmets and used as numbers, and the later the prince army can see through it, the better. ”

In reality, by contrast, Nashat had a lighter task.

Because Demir is facing the main force of Demacia, and the task is to delay time, which is extremely risky.

This also made Nashat more aware of the importance of his mission.

Whether he can defeat another German army and whether Demir's plan can be carried out is up to him.

Without further ado, Nashat soon led his army from behind the city, bringing only the equipment to fight the enemy, and nothing else.

Because it seemed to them that the raid was bound to be successful.

After success, the resources of the other German army will be all theirs.

It was getting darker.

Demir stood on the city wall, quietly looking in the direction of the prince's army, ready for everything.

Over time.

A cool breeze blew from above, the flames on the torches flickered, the reflections of the mountains and forests in the distance kept shaking, and suddenly, there was a slight tremor on the ground.

First there was a flash of fire, followed by more and more torches on the opposite side.

"It's coming!"

Demir was engrossed, and when he saw this scene, he immediately shouted: "Everyone, get ready!" ”

His gaze continued to look ahead, the army led by the prince came in a mighty manner, and the momentum became a little more oppressive at night, row after row of white-armored soldiers lined up neatly in the military formation, cavalry, infantry, shield soldiers, chariots, and the military flag fluttering in the wind. Dozens of silver-winged dragon birds flew out from the heights of the mountains and forests, and let out a loud howl at night, resounding over the clouds.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

As the army approached, the sound of them stomping on the ground was constantly coming, like the beating of drums in their hearts.

"Woo~~~~~"

Suddenly, from the prince's army, a loud horn buzzed, and the eardrums continued to tremble with the sound of the horn, and goosebumps appeared on the arms.

Demir only felt the momentum that swirled over this army suddenly become more vigorous.

"Is this Demacia's army?"

Standing on the city wall, Demir unconsciously clenched his fists and stared closely.

It is no exaggeration to say that the oppression of Demacia's army was stronger than any hostile army he had ever seen.

There was a sound of swallowing saliva from the side, and Demir understood that whoever it was, the pressure would soar after seeing such a scene.

"Don't panic! Everyone holds their ground! This is our home turf! ”

Demir shouted loudly, then waved his hand violently: "Beat the drum!" ”

When the soldiers guarding the giant drum heard this, they immediately raised the drumsticks in their hands and slammed them down.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! ”

The city walls were full of black-armored soldiers, and the deafening drums rhythmically came out from all directions, also forming an incomparably huge momentum, as if there were endless people, and the prince's army was in the first place to compete in mid-air.

The nervousness of many soldiers was relieved a lot.

But as the distance between the two sides continues to closer, the tension continues to rise.

Eventually, the pre-battle morale-boosting efforts of both sides ceased, and all that followed was the sound of the army advancing.

As the prince's army advanced one chariot after another, Demir did not hesitate to order: "Shoot!" ”

Suddenly, tens of thousands of people raised their longbows, the sound of bowstrings straightening sounded, and a curtain of rain fell in the night sky.

Tens of thousands of arrows whizzed in, but at the same time, Demacia had sent a shield array to stop the rain of arrows.

And on top of the chariots, there are also huge shields against arrows.

Demir, of course, did not expect that the arrows would kill the enemy, and this was only to delay the offensive of the prince's army.

However, he knew that the real offensive of the prince's army had not yet begun.

As the vehicles advanced, they finally entered the firing range of the artillery, and the turrets were arranged at a great speed.

Demil, who had a keen premonition, suddenly shouted: "Everyone, get ready! Archers, shoot those things! ”

"Boom!"

A huge number of arrows were fired.

However, their rain of arrows would be blocked by the anti-arrow devices set up on the turrets, which stood below, and the soldiers hid behind their shields, without fear of being shot.

"Bang!"

The first shell was fired, with a loud sound, through the night, and flew straight towards the city walls.

Demir watched the black cannonball get closer and closer, and had already dodged it in advance.

"Boom!!"

In the next second, a ball of fire exploded in that place, engulfing everything around it, setting off a strong wave of heat that displayed amazing power.

"Black powder!"

Even though Demir was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.

There is no doubt that this is definitely black powder.

But it's more powerful and long-range than what Noxus is developing, and it's clear that the problem of safety has been solved.

Unexpectedly, Demacia quietly held back such a big move.

Naturally, he already knew that Demacia was attacking this time, and he had a powerful weapon.

The cannonballs fired were like terrifying magic, but at this moment, there were countless numbers of such cannonballs.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

Every tremor of the eardrum represents the launch of a cannonball, and the indiscriminate bombardment of the Prince's Army has really begun.

The walls were filled with fires, and the smell of gunsmoke filled the battlefield, and the Noxian soldiers could only dodge and be completely helpless.

Demir clenched his fists with a bad premonition.

If the firepower of the Imperial Army is so fierce, they may not be able to hold on for long.

As the dragon knights flew overhead, bombs were dropped into the soldiers' piles with precision.

Demir shouted, "Where's the birds! Stop them! ”

However, it is very difficult, you must know that Demacia's dragon bird is definitely ranked first.

If they have enough dragonbirds, their air power alone will be enough to terrify every enemy.

Right now, in the face of these flying dragon and bird knights, there is nothing that can stop them.

"General, if we continue to defend like this, our casualties will be very heavy!"

An adjutant, braving the constant explosion of gunpowder, ran to Demir's side.

Demir naturally saw this bad situation, and the prince's army had already blown up before they could take care of themselves.

There were quite a few people on the walls who had been redeemed in armor, but they had or didn't have it, and it didn't work at all.

The enemy doesn't care how many people you have defending the city, and with this level of firepower, no matter how many people there are, it won't help.

After a while, they will launch a real charge, and I am afraid it will be too late.

"Order, withdraw from Bruan City!"

Without hesitation, Demir ordered loudly.

His war instincts were keen, so he knew that even if they stubbornly held on, they would only sacrifice more people, but not for much longer.

The disparity in firepower between the two sides is too great.

He just never expected that he couldn't hold on for even half an hour.

He glanced in Nashat direction, turned around and spun around.

Time is still in time, and for now, we can only pin our hopes on Nashat.

He saw the flaw of the gunpowder of these batteries, that is, it was not suitable for close combat, and if it was attacked in the face of the enemy and launched a close attack, the gunpowder would be useless.

In other words, the army led by Nashat has a great chance of launching a melee charge!

On the way out of the city, Demir clenched his fists, and the image of each other's gunpowder exploding in his mind was still in his mind.

Gunpowder is a terrible thing that can turn the tide of a battle so easily.

This greatly opened the balance of a battle.

But again, if you can have this level of weapons yourself

Demir became more aware of the importance of gunpowder, and if he could capture Demacia's supplies this time, he would have to study it carefully.

Meanwhile.

The siege of the city of Demacia in the army.

Lu Qi also sensed that something was wrong, he looked at the city wall that was beginning to become sparse in numbers, and thoughtfully said: "The strength of this city defense is not enough." ”

100,000 people guarding a city will definitely not look so difficult.

If he is a general in Noxus, there will be two options in the face of this situation.

First, either run directly.

Second, either choose to fight directly, give up defending the city, and go out of the city to meet the enemy.

Although it will be shot with cannonballs for a while, this is the only way to break the game.

Cannonballs, once approached, are not so easy to use.

Although it is generally not easily accessible.

At this time, there was also a dragon and bird knight flying back in the sky, and Lu Qiyu reported: "Your Highness, the enemy's army in the city is probably only 100,000. ”

A word to wake up the dreamer.

Luqi sensed something and decisively ordered: "Charge!" Break the city! ”

The catharsis of gunpowder was stopped, and the cavalry rushed out first, the horses galloped, and behind them was a mighty army.

Soon, the city gate was easily breached, as if because the other party had no intention of defending the city, and when they were about to arrive, Noxus did not even leave the broken team, and all of them withdrew.

The fortified gates were smashed open after only a few stubborn resistances as the chariots collided.

Lucci was walking on the deserted streets of Bruan City, and Quinn came back to report: "Your Highness, they have withdrawn directly, do you want to chase them?" ”

When Lu Qi heard this, he shook his head slightly: "No need, notify the whole army, and camp in Blue Ann City." ”

The other party obviously let the team with resources retreat first, and the team that retreated later had no worries.

He had sensed something was wrong by the moment.

It was obvious that Noxus could not have sent only this number of troops to defend the city, and more importantly, where had the prisoners gone?

It is impossible to have all withdrawn.

After thinking about it for a while, Luqi opened the secret key and edited a paragraph to send to Lev.
