Chapter 593: Gentian Battalion Defeated
The moonlight sprinkled on the ground inside and outside Mosong Pass like frost, the south of the city, the war drums roared, the torches shone in the sky, and hundreds of thousands of Boxer troops set up a battle, and finally, after the strategies of crossing the mountains and hiding the sky and crossing the sea failed one after another, Ding Xi and Long Qianlin had to fight head-on with Feng Jixing, who was guarding the three passes, under the urging of Qin Yi, the capital of the Boxer Kingdom.
"Squeak...... Squeak......"
The axle of the siege catapult rotated with an extremely unpleasant sound, it was a modified catapult, cast of steel, with a very sophisticated torsion system, which could project a range of nearly 500 meters, which was a secret weapon of the Boxers.
Ding Xi's eyes were cold, and he looked at Mosong Pass, which was towering in the mountains, and raised his hand and said: "After entering the range, immediately launch the torch stone and burn the Mosong Pass, I will see how long the wind can withstand it!"
"Yes!"
A group of generals clasped their fists together, and the next moment, a piece of ignited stone was put into the trough of the catapult, the torch stone, a kind of surface flammable stone, wrapped in cotton and other substances, poured with beech oil and then burned, accompanied by a loud noise of the catapult, one torch stone rose to the sky, straight to Mosong Pass!
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
Most of the torches smashed into the walls, but many of them rolled into the fortress and burned to the screams of the soldiers in the city.
......
"Extinguish the fire!"
Feng Jixing walked on the corridor with his hand on the hilt of the knife, and said with a blue face: "Everyone has hidden it for me, don't be hit by the torch stone, the soldiers in the city carry water to extinguish the fire, and order the outside of the city to quickly draw water from the nearest water source into the city." ”
"Yes, Commander!"
Coming to the edge of the fortress, Feng Jixing stretched out his hand and pressed on the pheasant, looking at the rumbling of the fire in the distance, he couldn't help but be a little worried, the Boxers really began to storm the fortress, although the three passes were strong, they may not be able to hold out for too long, especially after the Boxers used this new type of catapult, there was originally little water on the Qinling Mountains, it was difficult to extinguish the fire, and the inside of the fortress was a wooden structure, once it was ignited, it was difficult to save itself.
At this time, Tang Lan walked up the stone steps with a violent cough on crutches and walked up the lookout of the city fortress.
"His Royal Highness the King of the Seven Seas. ”
Feng Jixing hurriedly stepped forward and said, "You are not in good health, why did you come up to the city in person, hurry up and go down to rest, just leave the matter here to me." ”
Tang Xi also said: "Yes, Your Highness, just leave the matter here to us." ”
"Do you all think I'm going to die of old age?" Tang Lan smiled slightly, squinted his eyes at the hundreds of thousands of male soldiers in Lingnan, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If the Bailing cavalry guarding the Sword Pavilion is the strongest soldier in the Boxer Country, then the army of Ding Xi and Long Qianlin in front of you should be the second strongest soldier in the Boxer Country! Commander Feng, do you have the confidence to hold the three levels?"
"Nope. ”
Feng Jixing said: "For more than 3,000 years, the north and south of the Qinling Mountains have been loyal to the imperial capital, and there has been no war on the Qinling Mountains. ”
Tang Lan frowned: "So...... It's not a good idea to keep it for a long time, does the Wind Commander have an idea?"
"Yes, but I need the help of the Seven Sea Kings. ”
"Oh, what's the deal?"
Feng Jixing said: "Your grandson Tang Lu is not dead, he led an army of 300,000 to guard the Seven Customs, stopped moving, and threatened that unless there is a letter from the King of the Seven Seas, they will not obey the dispatch, it is said that the Lord of Xi County has gone to mobilize the demon army in case of accidents." Therefore, please ask the King of the Seven Seas to write a letter to me, and I will immediately send someone to summon Tang Lu to lead 300,000 elite soldiers to come, as long as there are these 300,000 elite soldiers, we can turn against the guest and open the three passes to go out of the city to fight against the army of Long Qianlin and Ding Xi. ”
"And such a thing?"
Tang Lan smiled and said, "Maybe it's because the soldiers of Seven Seas City have been living in the Seven Seas Province for a long time, and they can't stand the life in the south, I heard that many soldiers are already sick and need to recuperate, so ...... Wait a little longer, when they have regained their combat strength, I will naturally order them to go to the front line to face the demons and the Boxers. ”
Feng Jixing naturally knew what this old fox was thinking, he was waiting, waiting for the empire to lose, or to defeat both the Yihe Kingdom and the Demon Clan, so that the 300,000 elite soldiers of Seven Seas City could attack Lanyan City with one blow and become the new master of the empire, but unfortunately, Tang Xiaoxi had already led the demon army to defend Lanyan City, and Tang Lan's wishful thinking would still fail after all.
"In that case, let's wait. ”
A chill swept through Feng Jixing's eyes, and he said: "Not long ago, we received a military information from Canglin Valley, the imperial army was defeated, Su Yuan, the deputy governor of the soldiers and horses of Yunzhong Province, was defeated and killed himself, and the Shenwei Battalion and the Iron Blade Army were also defeated, with heavy losses, I am afraid that the imperial army there in Canglin Valley will not be able to support it for too long." ”
Tang Lan's face was full of coldness: "Don't worry, Commander Feng, wait for two days, and Seven Seas City will send troops!"
"Well, when the empire is surviving, I hope that Lan Gong will put the lives of the people in the world first. Feng Jixing glanced at him deeply and said: "As soon as the imperial army is destroyed, the demon clan and the Boxer Kingdom will take advantage of the weakness, I am afraid that the 300,000 elite soldiers of Seven Seas City will not help, Your Highness, you are a businessman, you should not do any loss-making business, right?"
Tang Lan was silent, coughed violently twice, and said, "Come on, help me down." ”
Looking at Tang Lan's distant figure, Feng Jixing clenched his iron fists and gritted his teeth with hatred.
Su Yu's voice was very cold, and he was not afraid of Tang Xi on the side, and said: "The empire lives and dies, and he is still in Taoguang, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead...... If he hadn't been so perfunctory, I'm afraid that the Boxers would not have captured Lanyan City. ”
Feng Jixing didn't speak, but Tang Xi smiled faintly: "When Lan Gong prevaricated, it seems that Yun Gong in Twilight Rain City also didn't move, Commander Su Yu should have been by Yun Gong's side at that time, don't you know what Yun Gong thinks?"
"You!"
Su Yu's face turned pale with anger, biting her red lip, and she didn't argue with Tang Xian.
Feng Jixing took a deep breath and said: "No matter, wait for two more days, it will be up to Ah Yu and the Gentian Battalion to see if they can stop the demons, if the news of Ah Yu's defeat comes from the direction of Canglin Valley, then I will leave my handsome flag on Mosong Pass, and I will lead 30,000 forbidden army iron cavalry to reinforce Canglin Valley at full speed, no matter what, I can't let His Highness Yin have an accident." ”
Su Yu nodded: "Hmm!"
Tang Raid hugged his fist: "Commander Feng, rest assured, even if he fights my Tang Raid's life, he will definitely not let Long Qianlin and Ding Xi break through the three levels!"
......
Thousands of miles away, the sound of war drums rumbled on the avenue, and the eight-array battle method composed of 45,000 people of the Gentian Battalion was like a tough wedge, nailing the nearly 200,000 horses of the Lei Chong Legion to the east of the unicorn forest, unable to advance at all.
The east was white, the sun was about to erupt, and the soldiers of the Gentian battalion had been holding out all night, and almost everyone was exhausted.
"Tiger Wing Formation meets the enemy!"
Wei Qiu raised his arms, his face was covered with gunpowder smoke and ash marks, and Zheng Zheng said, "Flame Xuan Turtle!"
Suddenly, more than a hundred staff members of the Beast Taming Division of the Lanyan City Temple in the battle array came out one after another, with psychic power in their palms, and there was a roar behind them, and more than a hundred Flame Turtles came out one after another, and these Flame Turtles curled up their bodies, protecting themselves with flame armor, and their bodies were filled with flames and rushed towards the Armor Demon!
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Clusters of flames rose into the sky, and the screams of the demons rose one after another. The armor demon is originally afraid of fire, the wings are flammable, and even the body of the armor demon is flammable, not to mention that the flame spewed out by the flame turtle is not an ordinary wildfire, but a kind of Xuanhuo that has been transformed by spiritual power.
But after all, the number of flame turtles is limited, and the armor demon is very ferocious, and he is not afraid of death, and he slams the battle axe and spear into the turtle's body, and the sound of "bang bang bang" came, although the turtle shell is hard, but it is not invincible, and soon the turtle was injured.
"Roar!
In the crowd of armor demons, Lei Chong, who was wearing golden battle armor, reappeared, and the blood-red grandmaster demon energy lingered around the war hammer, and with a drop of the hammer, the body of a flame turtle was shattered and died.
"Little Red!"
In the midst of the Eight Formations, a temple clerk howled miserably, and after channeling with the beast, he could feel the pain and fear of the death of the Flame Turtle, which was no different from dying once.
......
"The Gentian Battalion is going to be defeated!"
A light shot out of his eyes, and he said, "What should we do now?"
Lin Muyu said: "Withdraw, withdraw all, the gentian camp will leave the queen of the palace." ”
"But ......"
Qin Yin gritted his silver teeth, and the golden ice crystals swirled around his palm, and said, "I'll stay, with my strength, I can also help the Gentian Battalion, Luo Xin, you protect your grandfather and the Shenhou to retreat with the army!"
"Yes!" Luo Xin hugged his fists.
Lin Muyu didn't say anything, Qin Yin would stay if she wanted to stay, anyway, the next battle might not let her fight in person.
......
At this time, the eight formations composed of the soldiers of the gentian battalion have been crumbling, and throughout the night, the soldiers in the eight formations suffered heavy casualties, and 45,000 people were lost at least half, and if they fought hard, they would inevitably end up with the destruction of the whole army, fortunately, the loss of the demon clan was also very strict, and there were at least 30,000 demons killed by the eight arrays this night, plus 20,000 or 30,000 winged people, the loss of the gentian battalion was already worth it.
Wei Qiu stood on the platform, looked at Lin Muyu on the hillside in the distance, and Lin Muyu was also looking at him, his arm was slightly raised, pointing to the north, and suddenly Wei Qiu was excited, and said: "Beat the drum, withdraw the formation, all get on the horse, and enter the valley in the north!"
Lin Muyu also turned over on the horse with a long sword, and said, "Qin Yan, protect Your Highness, just watch the battle here, I'll go down and add a fire!"
"Yes, big brother!"
