Chapter 829: Someone from the Front
(The opinions of all book friends, Tanuki have seen it.) I'm sorry, I won't talk about anything else, but from tomorrow, I'll update it to its original state. Two shifts a day, 5,000 words guaranteed!)
This winter, as the Grey Army was born, it broke out with a tough posture that swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger, and it undoubtedly became colder.
Although the entire northern part of Bran is not a depression, there is always a great haze hanging over it, and the twilight is heavy.
In the early morning, the sun is rising, and outside a large city in the northern hinterland, the four fields are silent. Suddenly, the mournful sound of the alarm whistle suddenly sounded in the sky, instantly breaking the silence of the place.
In an instant, there were many figures and chaos on the city wall. Until a few roars with murderous intent sounded, the chaotic garrison of the city wall still stabilized slightly, and one by one they took arrows and longbows and pointed straight to the north. Miles away, a billowing cloud of smoke and dust with an iron-blooded momentum was rapidly rolling in.
The soldiers who have really been trained in the cruel war can roughly judge the number of people from this smoke and dust at a glance, that is, more than two or three thousand cavalry, even if they are all elite soldiers, they can completely defend it by relying on the tall city walls. Only these garrisons who have been messing around in the rear and have not even been on the battlefield for most of their lives will be so flustered.
However, it was probably also seen that the tense atmosphere here, so as not to cause misunderstandings, the galloping smoke and dust obviously slowed down the momentum when it approached the attack range of the defenders, revealing the dignified and rolling banner - the Thunder Legion.
Immediately, several miles away, the two sides looked at each other silently. A moment later, several cavalry figures carried the banner of the Thunder Legion and slowly rushed towards the city. And in the center of thousands of cavalry, a burly strong general with a black beard frowned at the still tense atmosphere on the wall in the distance. The slightly intolerant look couldn't help but bring up some doubts.
Combat effectiveness aside. The garrison is also a military man. Naturally, it is impossible not to know the battle flag of the Thunder Legion. It stands to reason that the city gates should be opened now. But now the rows of soldiers standing on the periphery of the city wall have no intention of putting down their bows and arrows, which is a bit incomprehensible.
The negotiation between the two sides did not seem to go very well, and there was still no movement at the city gate after more than ten minutes. Just as General Blackbeard's expression became more and more impatient, the cavalry carrying the battle flag finally returned and rushed forward, and the tall and heavy iron gate behind them slowly opened.
"General, it's time to enter the city. However, the other party demanded that we dismount and move forward. ”
His brow furrowed, "So careful...... What's going on?"
"General Hui, a few days ago, a gray-clothed rebel pretended to be a Tiger Roar Legion soldier who came to help, and deceived the city gate of the front war zone at night, and took two important military cities with extremely important geographical locations, so ......"
"Idiot, don't they even check the transfer token paperwork during the war?"
"It is said that the gray-clad rebels used these two things to trick the city gates. ”
"Uh...... It's a good idea. General Blackbeard couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, then shook his head and waved his hand to make a gesture of advancement. "Let's go, let's talk about it in the city. ”
As soon as the words fell. Without waiting for the thousands of cavalry to dismount. In the distance, there was a commotion at the head of the wall, and the half-opened gates closed again, and the bows and arrows that had been pressed were raised high again. However, this time the direction is not from this side, but from the official road on the left.
Seeing that something happened suddenly, this side naturally couldn't enter the city again. Even looking at the smoke and dust faintly rising in the distance of the official road on the left, with an order, thousands of cavalry turned around and put on an attack formation, and the cold killing intent instantly rose high.
From the reactions of both sides in this extremely short period of time, it can also be seen that the combat effectiveness of these thousands of dusty cavalry is far from being comparable to those panicked garrisons on the distant wall. The huge smoke and dust advancing at high speed in the distance seemed to feel the iron-blooded momentum of this cavalry when they approached, and they slowed down at a distance.
"Cangyan Legion...... Hmph, it turned out to be this guy, and he didn't come slowly. Snorting coldly, General Blackbeard is not one of those straw bales on the wall, squinting at the blurred battle flag in the smoke and dust, not only recognized the other party's legion, but also seemed to know the identity of the leading general, and pouted disapprovingly.
The one who came was indeed the army of the Cangyan Legion, and the scale was obviously much larger than the Thunder Legion that came first, and a cursory glance showed that the number of soldiers was no less than more than 10,000.
After a while, several Flame Knights approached, and laughter rumbled, "Haha, it's better to come early than to come at a good time." General Barlow, I didn't expect us to meet again this time because of the Gray Army. ”
"I don't want to see you again, General Gehry. Pouting, this strong general called Barlow, looked at the middle-aged man with a dark vulture who was also wearing the general's high-level armor, and replied angrily.
"Really, who would you like to meet, Ralph?" The middle-aged general, who was called Gehry, had a gloomy temperament, and the city government seemed to be quite profound, and when he heard this, he showed no signs of anger, but spread his hands and said another name, "Ralph...... It's a pity that he died in the Northern Wilderness. ”
Shaking his head, Barlow said categorically: "There is nothing to be sorry for, this is the highest glory of being born as a warrior." If I can also break the Northern Wilderness Imperial City with Marshal Ziyi, even if I die on the battlefield and the horse leather shroud, I will not be in vain!"
Gary was silent when he heard this, and nodded his head after a moment, although he seemed to be very dismissive of Naralph in his words, but he had to admit it.
Speaking of which, the identities of these two people are self-evident. Thunder Legion Battle Formation Mad General, Barlow. The Northland Wolf of the Flame Legion, Gehry. If you add to that the Silent Eagle of the Zichen Legion, Ralph. That is the three famous generals sent by the three major legions to encircle and suppress the gray army a few years ago.
The latter, of course, Ralph is dead. Although Zi Yi exposed his undercover identity back then, he did not publicize it. Therefore, in Bran's army, he only struck the Northern Wilderness Imperial City with the military god Zi Yi and died heroically, and now he still enjoys a high reputation.
After Gehry's side also sent people to negotiate with the garrison, the city gate was opened again, with the Thunder Legion in front and the Cangyan Legion behind, slowly driving into the city. And when the armies of the two sides move, the difference in the number and scale of each other is even more obvious.
Gehry did not return to the army, but rode his horse with Barlow, looked at the more than 2,000 cavalry following behind, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Hehe, it seems that your recent situation is not very good, General Barlow." ”
As a famous general of the Thunder Legion, the number of generals under Barlow's command should not be less than more than 10,000. Now that he only came with a mere 2,000 cavalry, it was naturally problematic. "Don't worry about it. His face sank, and Barlow replied stiffly.
Gary smiled and said no more. They are all fighting in the frontline territory, and although they do not belong to the same legion, they have naturally heard of each other's news. This situation is due to the fact that Barlow's relationship with the Grey Army is unclear, or more accurately, with Captain Frey, who should have died**. So at this sensitive time, it is natural to be affected......
Of course, this topic should not be mentioned again, otherwise it is not impossible to turn the other cheek. Coming to the city, Gary glanced at the soldiers with obviously different temperaments in the garrison mixed with the wall on his head, and nodded clearly: "It's the Tiger Roaring Legion, well, I don't know who will lead the army this time?"
After a pause, the vulture's eyes narrowed slightly, watching a middle-aged officer with an indifferent expression saluting this side, his military posture was extremely standard, and it should have been him who stopped the chaos on the wall just now. As if thinking of something, Gary frowned, "This looks like ...... temperament"
Barlow didn't look at the city wall, but looked at the soldiers lined up at the city gate to greet them, with a cold temperament, dressed in the silver-white armor of the Tiger Roar Legion, the queue was rigorous and neat, and there was almost no flaw, and his expression was also stunned, and he grinned: "It can't be that guy, right?"
The corners of Gary's mouth flashed a wry smile: "It's hard to say, but I don't feel very good......"
"Welcome to the two generals to come to their aid, the generals have been waiting for a banquet in the city for a long time, please come with me. As soon as he arrived at the city, an officer in uniform stepped forward a few steps, gave a standard military salute, and said succinctly.
Gehry looked a little strange and asked, "Who are your generals?"
"Bretta, General Bretta!"
Touching his forehead, "Wow! I know ......."
"! What a that is arrogant?"
