Chapter 523: The Victory of the First Stop
In fact, the golden dragon deliberately let the defenders of Lingtu City shoot down the flying machine.
Originally, from a safe distance, the flying machine would also be able to observe the situation in Lingtu City, but the purpose of the golden dragon was obviously not here.
So, the golden dragon let the aircraft get closer to the city defense little by little, and deliberately stayed in the air slightly.
At this moment, even if the city defense troops are muddy, they are also out of fire.
After a stormy artillery fire, the aircraft emitted billowing black smoke. This is not because the golden dragon died, but because the flying machine used the high-grade alchemy secret recipe provided by Qin Ning, and the external structure of the flying machine was extremely strong, so the golden dragon dared to do this. Otherwise, Jin Long and these five hundred soldiers would have become scum a long time ago.
The aircraft staggered and landed less than five miles from the city gate.
Jin Long led five hundred people out of the flying machine and immediately ran in the direction of Jiuqugou.
The city defense troops shot down the flying machine, and when they saw the invading enemy wolf bรจi fleeing, they suddenly came to their senses. It's not good to fight against the wind, but it's still very enjoyable to fight against the wind.
Therefore, the general of the city defense immediately ordered three thousand garrisons, ready to eat the small group of enemies who had fled from the wolves.
Jin Long was still afraid that the enemy would not come to pursue, so he probably pretended to be flustered, as if he was in a panic, and fled in a zigzag shape in the direction of Jiuqugou.
The Lingtu City defense troops behind were overjoyed when they saw this, and hurriedly rushed over.
There are also cautious people who remind the generals who lead the team, saying that they should be careful of the enemy's conspiracy.
But the general was disdainful, pointed to the distance and said: "From here to Jiuqugou, there can be hundreds of miles." It's all open land, and the enemy has no place to ambush at all. Speed up and catch up fast. Even if there is an ambush in the direction of Jiuqugou, the reinforcements can't fly, and it won't be a problem to eat this part of the people. โ
This powerful explanation reassures the cautious. Yes, three thousand troops, in the open field, chasing down five hundred people. It's a one-sided odds.
Although the distance was very far, Mu Xiongtian still saw the scene of the golden dragon being pursued on the hillside. Moreover, what worries Mu Xiongtian is. The golden dragon deliberately slowed down and took a curved marching route, seeing that it was about to be overtaken by the enemy behind him.
But. Mu Xiongtian didn't have any way. Qin Ning didn't arrange a flying machine, so he could only watch what happened below. The enemy is black and overwhelming, which is five or six times as many as the manpower led by the golden dragon!
Suddenly, the golden dragon gathered his troops and ordered his troops to turn around immediately, forming a triangular wedge-shaped attack formation.
The time was quite well controlled, and just when the golden dragon set up the formation, the Lingtu City city defense force was already less than a mile away from the first section of the golden dragon.
"Ready!" the golden dragon drew his command knife. Raise high. Five hundred soldiers under him, a shout. The weapons in their hands pointed straight ahead.
At the same time, the Lingtu City pursuit force also saw that the Golden Dragon Division had already set up a formation, and this was to attack.
The general of Lingtu City shouted loudly: "Form a dense tactical formation and line up the formation, and crush them into meatloaf for me!"
When the three thousand pursuing troops heard the order, they immediately stopped their rapid march, and waited for the surrounding brothers to approach with small steps, forming a dense square with an interval of only an arm's length.
Such a square formation is an unstoppable formation for enemies who are significantly less numerous than themselves.
Standing in the square, under the order of the general, the three thousand pursuing troops rushed towards the Golden Dragon squad with a shout with a neat pace.
The golden dragon snorted coldly, and suddenly, the golden dragon stared at the limit of his two eyes!
Bobo......
Two explosions sounded, and from the eyes of the golden dragon, a red light, a golden light. These two rays of light, where they passed, were like hurricanes, setting off flying sand and rocks.
Because the speed was too fast, the Lingtu City troops on the opposite side hadn't figured out what was going on, they only felt that the alternating red and yellow lights flashed, and immediately after, countless soldiers were terrified and torn into a mist of flesh and blood.
And those soldiers who were swept by the edge of the red and yellow light, their arms and legs, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and they didn't even feel it at the time, until their bodies fell to the ground, and they didn't know what was going on.
The cry of fear to despair shook the sky in an instant!
The golden dragon slowly closed his eyes, and the battle knife raised high was put down heavily: "Attack." โ
The five hundred attacking troops let out a beastly howl and rushed towards the defenders of Lingtu City.
The Golden Dragon's attack was so shocking that it wasn't until the Qin army's five hundred soldiers came over that the army of Lingtu City reacted.
The enemy is coming! Run!
Troops without fighting spirit, no matter how numerous they are, are nothing more than lambs to the slaughter. The troops of Lingtu City were completely frightened by the attack of the golden dragon, where is the fighting spirit? I only hate my father and mother for having two legs, and they rushed to Lingtu City like a desperate person.
Jin Long led the team to pursue later, not considering that the front was the enemy's base camp at all, and just focused on chasing and killing.
The despair and anger of the defeated army of Lingtu City happened, and their own city defense troops saw the terrifying scene of the Golden Dragon Squad, and they were originally going to respond to the rout, but when they saw the enemy chasing after them like fierce beasts, not only did they not help, but closed the city gate.
No matter how the defeated army wailed, the city defenders just wouldn't open the door, and they didn't even look at the city.
The golden dragon chased after him, led the team to rush back and forth, and in less than half an hour, he strangled all the 3,000 people who came out of the pursuit.
Mu Xiongtian saw the whole process, and only then did he understand why Qin Ning was so confident about the Golden Dragon's actions. It turns out that people have such awesome abilities.
Seeing Jin Long leading the team back, Mu Xiongtian hurriedly led people to meet him from the hillside.
"Hahaha, General Jin, good skills! In our Qin army, it seems that in addition to General Qin, I have one more person to admire. I said, how could General Qin be so relieved, it turns out that Brother Jin is a cow. If I had known, what were I still doing here, wouldn't it be more beautiful to go back and sleep?"
Hahaha......
Both of them laughed heartily. The golden dragon came to the Qin army, although Mu Xiongtian didn't say anything. But it can be seen that Mu Xiongtian is uncomfortable with being entrusted with a heavy task by Qin Ning.
Now it seems. Mu Xiongtian is a straightforward person who recognizes equal strength and status. Such a person is used to being very arrogant, although sometimes it is inevitable that his complexion is not in the right way, but he is also a person with a temperament and is a person worth befriending.
Seeing the golden dragon Mu Xiongtian coming back happily, Qin Ning smiled: "It seems to be the rhythm of a big victory." โ
Before the golden dragon replied. Mu Xiongtian told Qin Ning what he saw, and the feeling was no different from the feeling of being on the front line.
Qin Ning was also very happy. gave the golden dragon a great credit. But after the golden dragon rested, when he gathered again, Qin Ning still had a disapproving demeanor.
Mu Xiongtian was puzzled and asked, "General Qin, Brother Jin won a big victory in the first stop." It's a great time to work hard. What do you mean, it's still not optimistic. โ
Jin Long interjected, "I understand the general's thoughts. After this battle, the courage of the defenders of Lingtu City has completely gone. Although the combat effectiveness has dropped as the morale has dropped to the freezing point, I am afraid that the Lingtu City army will not come out to fight us head-on again. โ
"What's that, don't we have a powerful high-level alchemy long-range attack ordnance? Mu Xiongtian was a little angry.
Qin Ning smiled: "General Mu." This is indeed the solution to the current dilemma. But have you ever thought about it, what is the purpose of our attack on Lingtu City? Not to turn Lingtu City into scorched earth? It's about becoming our territory. A base that provides ample material guarantee for us to grow our strength. Now, even if there are too many dead and wounded people in the city, it is not what we want to see. โ
Mu Xiongtian was dumbfounded all of a sudden, Qin Ning was right, if you really turn Lingtu City into scorched earth, the manpower and material resources consumed will be more than worth the loss.
Thinking of this, Mu Xiongtian subconsciously asked, "What should I do then?"
Qin Ning stood up, stood with his hands in his hands, paced back and forth a few steps, and said, "Now, the last bit of hope for Lingtu City is to hold on and wait for help. As long as the psychological defense line of Lingtu City is defeated before the reinforcements arrive, we can achieve the results we want. โ
Jin Long nodded, but shook his head again: "What the general said is very true. However, it will be difficult to achieve such an effect. โ
Qin Ning smiled mysteriously, immediately unfolded a map, pointed to the map and said, "You see, this is the place where all the city defenses in Lingtu City and the main characters stay home. We will not attack civilians, but we can carry out targeted strikes on these important places. โ
Mu Xiongtian's eyes lit up, clapped his hands and smiled: "Yes, they want to resist stubbornly, but we directly beat his nest, this method is good." โ
The three of them looked at the map and carefully studied how to use the limited materials and ammunition to carry out the most effective attack on Lingtu City.
In the case of insufficient ammunition, Jin Long Jian yรฌ took a key attack to bypass the city defense and specifically target the key parts of Lingtu City. Because the city defense is a hard bone, it cannot be completely destroyed. A lot of ammunition is wasted, and people can repair it, and the gains outweigh the losses.
On the contrary, striking at the strongholds of important people inside Lingtu City can shock the psychology of the upper echelons of Lingtu City, which is the only way to achieve the desired goal with limited materials.
The construction of the golden dragon persuaded Qin Ning and Mu Xiongtian.
In accordance with this line of thought, the three of them worked out in detail a specific implementation plan for striking at important targets in Lingtu City.
According to the plan, Mu Xiongtian and Jin Long will take turns to lead the aircraft formation, and every night, they will strike at key targets in Lingtu City.
Those giant cannons that were modified by Qin Ning and transformed by top-level alchemy were coordinated and commanded by Qin Ning, and when Mu Xiongtian or Jin Long led the aircraft formation to attack, they attacked the air defense force of the city defense and covered it.
After three consecutive days of fixed-point strikes, it can be seen that the effect is good. From the third day, there were already people who fled from Lingtu City and came to surrender to the Qin army.
On the fourth day, already the generals came out and surrendered.
After questioning, the general made no secret of saying that it was because he really couldn't see any hope that he would come out and surrender.
Because the second prince contacted Wude City and kept urging, but he didn't see reinforcements from Wude City for a long time. Therefore, this news, coupled with the Qin army's continuous fixed-point attacks, has almost plunged Lingtu City into despair.
However, this general also brought news that Qin Ning did not expect, that is, the second prince had sent someone to Leiyang City to ask for help.
Under the persuasion of Xirong Zhan, the Yelan King agreed to send troops to Lingtu City to rescue!(To be continued......)
