Chapter 525: Beacon Fire
After the last war, Sha Ding directly replaced the army in Blackstone Pass with the most elite troops, and replaced them with his most trusted generals to lead the troops above Blackstone Pass. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Don't look at the Storm Legion that it has been more than ten years since it plundered outward, as if the army in the Storm Legion is not very effective in combat, but in fact, this is not the case.
There are indeed a lot of troops in the Storm Legion, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than more than ten years ago, but it is still a lot of elite troops on the right, and their combat effectiveness has not decreased, but has increased a lot.
In the sea of sand, there are not only sandstorms and dry up, but also the threat of very powerful desert beasts, such as poisonous scorpions, two-headed giant sand scorpions, and centipedes......... Wait, there are not many of these beasts in the desert, and they are also very fond of hunting humans.
There are 1.5 or 600 million people in Stormwind City, such a large piece of 'meat', for these desert brutes, the attraction is really too strong, so, from time to time, some desert brute beasts will attack Stormwind City, at this time, the Storm Legion is needed to exterminate these desert brutes.
Therefore, the Storm Legion still has to experience some actual combat from time to time, but the number of desert beasts that attack each time is not large, so only some troops in the Storm Legion can get actual combat, and the current strength of these troops is not much lower than more than ten years ago.
In addition, with the rapid development of Stormwind's economy, Stormwind has enough money to equip the Stormwind Legion with more powerful weapons and armor, as well as sufficient logistics supplies.
Therefore, the strength of the Storm Legion has not decreased, but has increased.
Especially those troops that have experienced actual combat, their combat power is really considerable.
Most of these soldiers have experience with the desert barbarians, and they have powerful armor and weapons on their bodies, so their strength is extremely strong.
Although the enemy facing now is the Black Wind Legion, most of them are cavalry troops, and the Storm Legion may have to suffer a little loss, but now the Storm Legion only needs to defend the city, so even the Storm Legion soldiers who have not experienced actual combat are not so afraid in their hearts, and some soldiers are even lame in their hearts to give the Black Wind Legion a little hardship.
At the top of the fortress of the Black Stone Pass, suddenly, the sentry who had not moved much before stood up straight, put his right hand directly on his eye, and looked into the distance with a nervous expression.
Soon, he saw that at the end of his vision, a black beacon fire rose rapidly, and the straight pitch-black wolf smoke soared upward.
The sentry knew that it was a beacon in the distance.
Immediately after, one after another pitch-black beacons ignited, and then, in the sentinel's field of vision, several horses were galloping towards this direction at a rapid pace, and in the distance behind them, a large cloud of smoke and dust obscured the sky.
"Enemy attack......... enemy attack! Enemy attack .........!" the sentry shouted loudly on the top of the guard tower, and then, directly trotting all the way to the garrison, came to the garrison, directly put his mouth on the horn placed on the garrison, and then used all his strength to blow the force, and for a while, 'woo .........woo woo!', the terrible sound of the horn echoed over the fortress of Heishi Pass, and it lasted for a long time..........
The people of Stormwind City, who were still working in the wilderness, had long been accustomed to the horn of the enemy's attack, and after hearing the horn, they first looked at the pitch-black wolf smoke in the distance, and then, hurriedly packed up their farm tools, and rushed towards the fortress of Blackstone Pass.
At this time, on the top of the Black Stone Pass Fortress, a group of soldiers rushed up in full armor.
Then, the officers in the army opened the armory and took out the weapons inside.
The crossbows were pushed out of the castle towers one by one, and the crossbowmen nervously shook their bows and loaded the eight-ox crossbows, which were as thick as children's arms, onto the crossbows..........
The archer puts a handful of bows and arrows in his quiver, and then, under the leadership of the captain, assembles at a fixed position.......
More ordinary soldiers quickly brought military supplies such as stones, wood, and boiling oil and piled them up under the stacks.
When the scouts returned from galloping, the top of the Blackstone Pass fortress was all ready, and rows of soldiers stood on the tower, nervously looking at the large force of cavalry that was rolling in the distance.
"Stampe, trample, trample .........!" a hurried sound of horses' hooves sounded, and the scouts of the Storm Legion strained their strength and ran back to the Blackstone Pass fortress at full speed.
As the scouts rushed into the gate of the Blackstone Pass Fortress, the heavy gate 'clang...', closed tightly, and then, with a '.....clang', the thick logs were loaded into the iron ring behind the gate of the Blackstone Pass Fortress, and the gate was almost tightly blocked.
Shi Shajing was already dressed in black iron armor at this time, holding the helmet in his arms with one hand, and pressing the stacks on the wall of Heishiguan with the other hand, looking intently at the approaching cavalry of the Black Wind Legion, and beside him, a young man aged twenty-four or five years old was also frowning and looking at the endless cavalry of the Black Wind Legion in the distance, his face was full of melancholy.
This young man is Sha Tuo, the adopted son of Sha Ding.
Sha Tuo: Twenty-five years old, the day after tomorrow seventh-level cultivation, majoring in "Red Flame Zhengyang Decision".
"General Shi, the vanguard of the Black Wind Legion in front of you is about three thousand people, all of them are cavalry." Sha Tuo said with a worried expression.
The stone manhole on the side showed a look of contempt in his eyes: "Just because these people want to attack my Black Stone Pass Fortress? Hehe, you look down on us too much!"
The Black Stone Pass Fortress had made Xiao Quan helpless before, and now if he only had these troops, Shi Shajing was really not worried at all.
Sha Tuo shook his head directly and said: "General, this time it is the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry of the Black Wind Legion, and the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry is the most elite cavalry unit in the Black Wind Legion, the most daring to fight, and at the same time, the most valued by Xiao Quan, and then look at the banner in front, the word Xiao on it is clearly visible, so I think that this time the commander of the army will be Xiao Quan. Xiao Quan is a strong man in the congenital period, in the face of such a strong man, we are no longer careful, and it is not too much!" What's more, Xiao Quan is a person who has fought a lot with us, and he knows our tactics and strength very well, so we must be more careful."
Although Sha Tuo is only twenty-five years old now, his mind is very sophisticated, and he does not have the shortcomings of young people who are easy to be impulsive.
"Sha Tuo, what do you mean..........?" Shi Shajing asked with an inquiring expression.
"General Shi, I guess they are only here to show off their military might to us and test our hypocrisy, and they will not attack directly, so we can ignore them completely. In addition, I am afraid that Xiao Quan will bypass the Blackstone Pass Fortress and divide his troops to attack all parts of Stormwind City, making it difficult for us to deal with each other."
"Xiao Quan has already tried the power of the Blackstone Pass Fortress before, if he directly bypasses the Blackstone Pass, it is not impossible!"
"Divide the troops.........? , I guess it's not much. Shi Shajing hesitated and said: "The Black Stone Pass Fortress has always been in our hands, and if he dares to divide his troops, isn't he afraid that we will intercept his back road?"
Shi Shajing's words carried a trace of suspicion, the danger of being cut off, as long as there is a little IQ in the army, they will understand the danger here, Shi Shajing really doesn't believe that Xiao Quan will make such a low-level mistake.
After Sha Tuo stopped Shi Shajing's words, he said with a wry smile: "General, Xiao Quan only needs to leave five thousand Black Flame heavy cavalry here, which is enough to contain us here, we can't cut off his back road at all, at that time, he can calmly divide his troops." General, don't forget, Xiao Quan's Black Wind Legion is all cavalry, coming and going like the wind, with the hundreds of cavalry of our Black Stone Pass Garrison, going out of the city to intercept it is to send sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Hearing this, Shi Shajing asked with a moving face: "Sha Tuo, if things really develop like this, we must immediately report to Stormwind City and ask the Sand City Lord to send cavalry to intercept it. ļ¼
"General, if in the past, when Xiao Quan had not yet broken through the innate stage, we could do this, but now that Xiao Quan has broken through to the innate stage, it is impossible for us to mobilize cavalry troops to deal with the cavalry troops of the Black Wind Legion. General, in our army, cavalry units can pose a threat to the strong in the congenital stage.
If we mobilize the cavalry troops in Stormwind City, then what if Xiao Quan directly kills Stormwind City and has a decapitation tactic? If my father is killed by Xiao Quan, even if we can temporarily repel the attack of the Black Wind Legion now, but without the central bone, Stormwind City will still be Xiao Quan's opponent. Sha Tuo explained with a worried face.
"It's ........ This.......... After listening to Sha Tuo's explanation, Shi Shajing was really a little anxious, "If that's the case, wouldn't all parts of Stormwind City be the target of the Black Wind Legion's plunder?
"Alas......... , this is also something that can't be helped!" Sha Tuo said helplessly: "We first have to do our best to ensure that the Black Stone Pass Fortress is not lost, so that the Black Wind Legion will not be able to unscrupulously plunder near Stormwind City, which is also a way to minimize our losses, alas, ..........!"
Sha Tuo sighed deeply again, his eyes full of helplessness, and anger that he was completely helpless in the face of such a situation...................
