There is still a little time left until the early morning.

The army led by Nashat finally passed through the slot canyon, got rid of the sound of the rushing water, and the team slowly landed.

"We're only a little bit away from our destination."

Nashat let the team stay where they were, resting for twenty minutes, and eating some food to replenish their strength.

After a quick night of running, even the iron man needs to rest.

He must keep all the fighters in good shape for the rest of the battle, without the slightest mistake.

"How long has it been since we left?"

Nashat asked the adjutant next to him.

The adjutant replied: "Seven hours." ”

"Okay."

Nashat was quite excited, and said to himself, "It's shorter than we expected, send a few scouts, go to the front to investigate first, and ask them to be careful." ”

The adjutant commanded: "Yes." ”

Soon, there were scouts in the group who set off first.

Twenty minutes passed quickly.

Feeling that his strength was gradually recovering, Nashat stood up, and his confidence in the next battle was also a little stronger, and he waved his big hand: "Let's go!" ”

The army sped up and soon encountered scouts returning the same way.

The scout reported: "My lord, there is no trace of the German army ahead. ”

Hearing this, Nashat thought for a moment.

No trace of the German Army?

Based on the location of their location and the speed at which they were marching, they should be in this area at this time.

Because this is the way to go, there is a big mountain in the middle, unless they choose to go around the other end.

However, the other end of the route is further and completely meaningless.

After a moment of thought, Nashat ordered, "Keep going!" ”

He believed in Demir's judgment, and he believed in his own judgment, that the German army must be in this area.

It was only they who slowed down the march.

Continuing to march is nothing more than a face-to-face between the two sides, and although this will reduce the effect of the surprise attack, it is still useful.

Even in terms of numbers, the 90,000 troops on his side have first-class combat effectiveness.

As for whether it is possible that their plans have been exposed, this is completely outside the scope of Nashat's consideration.

Because in his opinion, it is completely impossible.

There is no communication magic in the Runeterras, at least not in Nashart's mind, nor in the hundreds of years of Noxus history.

He didn't believe that Demacia, a country that had just lifted the ban on magic, could have it.

You know, information can be said to occupy an extremely important position in a battle.

A battle with poor information, that's an overwhelming advantage.

For example, Demacia, this extremely fast march, and those black powders.

In the eyes of Noxus, this is unknown.

Because of this, in less than a month, Demacia successively attacked several cities, captured more than 100,000 people, and sacrificed countless people.

And this time, Demir's decision is also a poor information.

When Demacia thought that the main army of Noxus was still defending the city of Bruan, they had already attacked another army as fast as they could.

And the reason why Demir dared to make such a decision was precisely because he was sure that even if the prince's army reacted, it would not be able to convey the news to the other army in time.

Even those flying monsters that ignore geographical barriers are coming, not enough.

And this is already the fastest means of communication in the Land of Runeterra.

"Charge head-on, it's also our advantage, rush!"

Nashat was adamant of his thoughts, and no matter how you look at it, the advantage of this wave is on his side.

In a war, there are so many accidents.

The army marched all the way, and as the sun slowly rose in the east, the first rays of sunlight shone down, representing an official farewell to the night.

In the early morning, in this rugged mountainous terrain, there is a touch of fog, but it does not obscure the view.

Nashat mentally calculated the distance, and from the time he crossed the slot canyon, the team had advanced almost five or six kilometers.

The distance with the other German army is getting closer.

He raised his hand and motioned for the troops behind him to slow down and move slowly, while giving the scouts a look and motioning them to continue their path.

The scout quickly took his orders and left.

At the moment, they were in a low place, and it was quiet in the mountains, and for some reason, a bad premonition appeared in Nashat's heart.

If the enemy forces are ambushed here. Impossible, he quickly dismissed the idea.

Well, why did the German army set up an ambush here? There is no reason at all.

However, as soon as this thought was put down, there was a loud shout, which suddenly sounded from a high place.

"Fire!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang! ”

A deafening cannon sound was heard, and Nashat looked up, his pupils suddenly shrank, and his face was full of disbelief.

In his eyes, cannonballs the size of his head rained down from above.

"Enemy attack! Disperse! ”

Instinctively, he yelled backwards and was the first to move.

The army of 90,000 men was in disarray, but by this time the shells had already fallen and smashed into the ranks.

"Boom! Rumble! Boom"

The continuous explosion, accompanied by the raging flames, resounded through the mountains in an instant.

It all happened so suddenly that everyone was caught off guard, and this first round of offensive alone killed many Noxian soldiers.

Some saw with their own eyes that their companions were engulfed in flames, followed by the stump of their bodies being blown out.

In an instant, a person was disintegrated, and just the first round of bombardment was already full of severed limbs, blood, and internal organs. This scene is enough to leave a psychological shadow.

Before he could slow down, "Bang! Bang! Bang! "Yes, the second round of raining shells has fallen.

It was an overwhelming effort to hit high and low, and they all fell into the range of these shells, and even if 90,000 people dispersed at the first time, such a large number of people still greatly increased the hit rate of the shells.

Nashat felt his heart tremble, the loud sound of cannonballs exploding in his eardrums, and he saw the German army occupying the heights, and the artillery emplacements that had already been arranged.

How can it be?

Why are they ambushing here?

"Charge! Dodge these gunpowders and fight in close combat! ”

Multiple thoughts crossed my mind, but each one didn't have time to think about it.

Tasked with saving the battle, Nashat raised his weapon and yelled orders.

If these incredibly powerful gunpowders continue to maintain this distance, no matter how many of them are, they will be blown up.

He already understood at the first time that at this moment, only by charging, only by rushing to a high place, could he have a chance to fight with this German army.

Under his orders, the charge of the Noxians began, and when life was at stake, the power that everyone could burst out of was unpredictable.

Each black-armored soldier rushed upwards desperately, and one after another of his companions around him were blown down, and even his bones were gone.

Even if their hearts were shaken, they still stepped forward without hesitation.

And at the high point, every white-armored soldier, expressionless, stared at all this coldly.

"Shoot!"

With an order from Lev.

It wasn't just shells that were fired.

Nashat who rushed to the forefront saw the rapid light of the fire flickering continuously, accompanied by a "sudden" sound, and countless bullets were fired at them.

Not arrows, but bullets!

Dense raindrops formed in mid-air.

"Guns?!"

Nashat's eyes widened, his eyes full of horror.

Demacia not only had artillery, but even guns?

He'd seen the gun, a weapon that Noxus was also developing, and some of the warlords had found their way from elsewhere and kept it with them.

However, the guns used by Demacia were different from what he remembered, and there were many of them.

Such a sophisticated weapon, almost everyone is equipped with one.

The rate of fire of those bullets is very fast, but Nashat naturally has a certain strength as a lieutenant general.

He instinctively dodged left and right, but he couldn't dodge, so he raised his weapon to block.

It turned out to be stubborn in the rain of bullets, constantly moving forward.

But staring at those Demacian soldiers, he imagined a moment of fighting with them, and he wanted to make a gap for his soldiers.

Only in this way will they have a chance of winning.

Just as these thoughts came to mind, a bullet hit the armor in Nashart's chest, and the force of the impact sent him back a few steps.

The hard armor blocked the bullets, and the rain of bullets seemed to stop briefly at this moment.

Nashat couldn't help but look back, he thought, maybe 10,000 people, 5,000 people rushed here with him at this moment.

However, the moment he looked back, Nashat was stunned.

There were only a few hundred, not even a thousand, of them, and they were struggling to move forward with shields, and there were soldiers behind them who kept trying to fill the queue, but to no avail.

The shield could block the fire of these bullets, but it could not withstand the bombardment of the shells.

When a cannonball lands in the shield team, it means that the entire column will be blown apart.

The current Noxian army, under this kind of indiscriminate bombardment, is already full of gaps.

At this time, a sense of sadness and powerlessness couldn't help but emerge in Nassar's heart.

At this moment, he saw what a war with a huge disparity in firepower was like.

Ninety thousand, a full ninety-thousand, at this moment is bombed like a remnant of the defeated army.

And now, not even a single member of the German army has been lost.

The Noxian army, which terrified the entire Runeterra, was like a toy in front of Demacia's army at this moment.

If you continue to charge, you will only be giving more lives.

By the time Nashat realized this, he had already yelled: "Retreat! Send a message to the general, and Demacia has the means to communicate extremely quickly! We lost this battle! ”

The soldiers, who received the order, immediately turned around and withdrew.

Some people saw that Nashat chose to continue the charge, stubbornly killing the high place.

was shot several times in the body, and for Nashat at this moment, it was no longer painful.

He raised his battle axe and charged forward.

Things had come to this point, and he had no face to go back to General Demir.

From being determined and confident before setting out, to now fleeing in embarrassment without even starting a battle with the enemy.

Nashat was devastated in his heart, he knew that Demacia, who had come this time, had made preparations far beyond their expectations.

General Demir miscalculated, and he miscalculated.

There is only one possibility that they have set up an ambush here, and that is that the German army has already known the news of their surprise attack.

This also proves that Demacia has mastered a method of extremely fast communication.

This is extremely important.

If this message is not conveyed, then Noxus will suffer in the future.

At this moment, Lev looked at the fleeing Noxus Army and directly ordered: "Chase!" Can kill one is one! ”

Because of his order, the rain of bullets stopped, and Demacia's cavalry rode out.

They made their way through Nashat and chased after the fugitives.

Nashat raised his battle axe and slashed at one of the nearest cavalrymen.

But in the next second, a figure stopped in front of him, a standard Demacia steel knife, blocking Nashart's blow.

Lev looked at the general in front of him expressionlessly, his wrist suddenly exerted, flicked his tomahawk, and then mercilessly stabbed Nashart's armor and pulled it out.

Blood was spilled all over the ground, and Nashat collapsed in extreme reluctance in the last seconds before his death.

The battle lasted less than half an hour.

The cavalry quickly turned back, and some of the deserters remained, and they fled quickly and could not catch up.

However, the outcome of this battle was already very satisfactory to Lev.

He didn't lose a single person on his side, but in exchange for the death of tens of thousands of people in Noxus.

This has rarely happened in history.

You must know that this is a Noxian army that is not weak, Rao is so, and it is so vulnerable in the face of gunpowder weapons.

After a crushing ambush battle, it's still a bit cool to talk about it.

At least Lev had never fought such a comfortable battle.

As the soldiers began to take care of the battlefield, he took out the secret key and edited a message to send to Luki.

Bruan City.

Luki and his army were stationed in the city for the night, and they rested well.

Just as the army began to reorganize and prepare to continue marching and departing, Lucky's key received the news.

"Sure enough, Noxus sent an army to assault another of our troops."

Seeing the news, Lu Qi was not surprised.

I have to admit that the ideas of the opposing generals are still very bold, and if it is in a conventional war, they may really suffer this loss.

Using the prisoners of war as cover and acting as a surface force, he actually sent a real army to set off quickly, taking advantage of the gap of three hours in between, to achieve the speed of the invincible flying monster.

When Luki discovers their intentions and sends out a message from Dragonfowl or Flying Monsters, they are already halfway there.

By the time the message arrived, they had arrived at their destination.

Without preparation, even if Lev led the army, under the surprise attack of an army of this size, I am afraid that it will suffer heavy losses.

But alas, this is not a conventional war.

Unbeknownst to Noxus, it would take less than a second for Luqi to deliver the message through the key.

After such a wave, they should also know that they should not easily fight with Demacia with poor information.
