Chapter 873: Dingding War (13)
In Yizhou City, after the return of the Shenwu Army's conquest army, Liu Fan didn't even have time to experience the warmth of home, so he had to plunge into a new war. The enemies of the north, the west, and the east will not give the Shenwu army any respite. The Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm went to war, and they lost a very important force to contain the Shenwu Army, as long as the Shenwu Army was given a little respite, with the potential of the Shenwu Army, it would soon become a mountain that they could not surmount at all. As soon as Liu Fan returned to Yizhou City, in addition to discussing the return of the class to the imperial capital and the enthronement, it was the bloodline army in the north that once again joined forces with the barbarians to launch a new round of offensive against the Shenwu army. However, the Shenwu Army is no longer the Shenwu Army of the past, and the current situation of the Shenwu Army is mainly oriented to the Sea Clan in the East, while the other two aspects are on the defensive.
Drinking, hundreds of war horses ran wildly on the eastern grassland, and hundreds of cavalry lay on the war horses and quickly advanced towards the grassland and state. The western states have been basically occupied by barbarians, and now some of the elite forces of the Shenwu Army have been transferred to the north, and now there are less than two million elite troops in the east. Now these cavalry are really scout soldiers of the First Cavalry Corps of the Baiqi Corps of Bingzhou, and the leading generals are the two cavalry generals, Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng.
Bingzhou, after experiencing the beacon fire and wolf smoke, the originally rich land of Bingzhou, now there are not many people, and the quiet environment around makes the expressions on the faces of these soldiers very solemn. Since the Shenwu Army captured Liangzhou, Bingzhou, and Youzhou, the cavalry team has been growing, and now in addition to the northern legions, the cavalry of the eastern Bingzhou Corps is also very powerful. Cavalry against cavalry has always been one of the main means of the Celestial Dragon Empire against the barbarians. Now they want to rely on such a powerful cavalry force to fight against the barbarian cavalry troops.
Xi repeatedly. The cavalry reined in their horses. A soldier of the Shenwu Army wearing black clothes and black armor quickly greeted him, and the cavalry sent the information in his hand to Yuwen Chengdu after seeing Yuwen Chengdu. On the land of Bingzhou, a group of cavalry was advancing rapidly, and in the same direction as them, the elite cavalry of the same barbarian tribe was killing at a rapid pace.
"Kill!" As Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu took off the weapons on the victory hook on their horses at the same time, the cavalry under their command raised their weapons one after another and killed the oncoming barbarian soldiers. The barbarian soldiers obviously did not expect to encounter the cavalry of the Shenwu Army here. was only slightly stunned, and then they raised their weapons one after another, howled, and rushed up. Like the Shenwu Army, they are scouts in the army, and the general scouts are served by more elite soldiers and horses. The cavalry of these barbarians were already equipped with iron armor and iron weapons, although there was still a big gap between them and the equipment of the Shenwu Army, but this was already their best weapon for many years.
Poof, almost any mud and water, countless soldiers on both sides frantically greeted each other with their weapons, and their purpose was the same, that is, to kill each other completely. The phoenix-winged gold pistol in Yuwen Chengdu's hand flew up and down, and the dead lotus flowers swept all the enemies under the horse. The five-hook divine flying silver spear in Luo Cheng's hand kept flying, and the blood flowers in the sky were accompanied by discordant screams. The barbarian cavalry suffered the most tragic slaughter since the beginning of their war. This time, Liu Fan's deployment of military strength was also very purposeful, that is, to transfer all the elite cavalry generals to the east to deal with the barbarians.
All the elite soldiers of the Shenwu Army are now divided into two teams. One is to deal with the bloodline army in the north, and the other is to deal with the sea clan army in the west. The navy is the shortcoming of the Shenwu Army, but Liu Fan is not worried, the saint-level shipbuilders recruited from the Ministry of Industry of the empire are building ships day and night. It may be difficult to build steel ships, but some large warships are constantly being launched. The Shenwu Army adopted a series of conscription operations, and countless young men in the coastal areas entered the barracks and began to train continuously, preparing to attack the Sea Clan's troops. Liu Fan, the army in other places, naturally would not give up easily, but dispatched elite cavalry units to prepare to attack the enemy separately.
The killing had stopped, the air was confused with the smell of blood, and the cavalry team of only more than five hundred people was no match for the forward army of the Shenwu Army at all. The ownerless horses on the ground were moaning, but they could never find their masters. After Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng killed these cavalry, they did not have any delay, and continued to set off towards the depths of Bingzhou with the cavalry under their command. They are the scouts of the army, and they must inquire about the situation of the barbarians in the state.
"Chengdu, I have an idea. "After the scout team of the Shenwu Army killed four barbarian cavalry teams in a row, they finally arrived at Bingzhou City, and the barbarian soldiers didn't seem to expect that the soldiers of the Shenwu Army would appear under Bingzhou City, until these cavalry arrived under Bingzhou City, these barbarian soldiers still didn't find them, and no one even cared about the disappeared cavalry teams, which also made Yuwen Chengdu have a new idea about Bingzhou City.
"Do you want to capture Bingzhou City?" Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu fought together for a long time, so he naturally knew what Yuwen Chengdu wanted. Yuwen Chengdu also nodded heavily, the degree of laxity in the defense of Bingzhou City far exceeded Yuwen Chengdu's imagination, if he could take Bingzhou City, it would definitely have unexpected benefits for the battle of the Shenwu Army. Yuwen Chengdu wants to attack Bingzhou City, Luo Cheng naturally has this idea, if they can capture Bingzhou City, the benefits are self-evident, but their strength is less than 500 people, 500 people capture Bingzhou City, which is guarded by 100,000 people, is undoubtedly a fool's dream, but they met two bold guys, they never play cards according to common sense when they fight.
"This is Bingzhou City, if we capture Bingzhou City, and defend it here, Bingzhou City can be easily separated by us The east and west parts of the city, our elite troops are now in Yanzhou, as long as we occupy Bingzhou City, our army can sweep the western part of Bingzhou within three days. Yu Wencheng drew a simple map on the ground and said to Luo Cheng: "There are at least four of our patrol teams around here, with a total of almost two thousand troops, and they are all elite. Now the defense of the state city is very lax. As long as we capture the city of Bingzhou. Scouts around here will gather. ”
"There are 100,000 enemy troops in the city of Bingzhou. Even if the enemy is slackening, once we are trapped, we will have no chance of escaping. Luo Cheng said to Yuwen Chengdu with a solemn face, five hundred to one hundred thousand, it is not a quantitative level at all. However, after Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu discussed for a while, they still decided to attack, although their troops were absolutely inferior, but the benefits of capturing Bingzhou City were too great and too tempting. Especially these barbarian soldiers don't know how many people there are in the Shenwu Army, and they can fight a surprise attack.
Night fell on Bingzhou City, Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng quietly entered Bingzhou City with their troops, and the sparse torches on the city made Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng greatly relieved. Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng glanced at each other, and their figures flashed and stood on the city wall. Although there are many lock immortal stones on the city to suppress the strength of the two, but the martial arts of the two are not blown out, the figures of the two people each took out a dagger from their waists, turned into two black shadows to solve the defenders on the city, and the two leaned all the soldiers on the city wall, so that the city wall still maintained a few sparse torches. The two came to the edge of the city. A signal was given to go out, and soon the soldiers under the city were touching the city walls. The soldiers all used ropes to go around the back of their heads. Pierced the corners of his mouth to prevent himself from making a sound.
"I took a team of men and horses to touch the city lord's mansion, you led people to look for prisoner of war camps, I heard that the barbarians have imprisoned our soldiers who have captured us in the city of Bingzhou, as long as we can find these prisoners of war, our battle will be much easier. "This is also one of the reasons why the two dared to attack Bingzhou City, although there were not many prisoners of war between the Shenwu Army and the barbarians, but in the first wave of raids of the barbarians, many soldiers became prisoners inexplicably, and now they are all locked up in Bingzhou City, as long as these people can be found, it is not difficult to capture Bingzhou City.
Luo Cheng and Yuwen Chengdu quickly divided into two teams, and both of them quietly led people to the place they were going. The laxity of the barbarian guards in the city also made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief. The two of them walked in the lawless city with their own men and horses, and they didn't even come to inquire all the time. When Luo Cheng touched the City Lord's Mansion, there were only eight barbarian elites standing at the door, but the level of vigilance here was obviously beyond everyone's imagination. These eight soldiers were obviously the elite of the army, and they exuded a powerful murderous aura from their bodies.
Luo Cheng killed several elite hands around him, several soldiers disappeared into the darkness, Luo Cheng put down the five-hook god flying silver spear in his hand, and held the sword in his hand. The eight soldiers at the gate instantly glanced around vigilantly, even if they were vigilant, but after all, they were in the deepest part of Bingzhou City, there were nearly 100,000 troops here, and there could be no enemies here.
Luo Cheng was also greatly relieved to see the performance of several people, Luo Cheng took away all the breath on his body, and then touched the vicinity of the City Lord's Mansion at night with a few elite hands. Luo Cheng gestured slightly, and several people also held the weapons in their hands and touched the side of the city wall. Luo Cheng waved one hand, and seven soldiers followed Luo Cheng and immediately pounced. Without hesitation, the knives in the hands of the eight men stabbed into the enemy's chest, and the hot blood instantly filled everyone's faceplates. Luo Cheng didn't hesitate either, and took someone into the City Lord's Mansion.
"Okay, it's all settled, now just wait for General Yuwen to send a signal, and we will immediately set fire to create chaos. "Luo Cheng easily eliminated the enemy in the City Lord's Mansion, and I have to say that it is not completely unreasonable for the barbarians to be suppressed in the battle with the Heavenly Dragon Empire. The guard they were guarding against in Bingzhou City turned out to be a waste, and after Luo Cheng's head was cut off in bed, his personal guards didn't react in the slightest. This is completely unthinkable in the eyes of the Shenwu Army, but such a thing happened to the barbarian soldiers.
"General, I have inquired clearly, almost all of our 30,000 prisoners of war are held here in the barracks in the north of the city, and only a small number of prisoners of war are held in the barracks in the east of the city. A soldier quietly walked to Yuwen Chengdu's side and reported to Yuwen Chengdu. Yuwen Chengdu nodded heavily, thought for a while, and then recruited all his troops to his side, and after a few gestures on the ground, everyone understood what they were going to do.
The military camp in the north of the city. There were more than 60,000 troops stationed here. It's very close to the City Lord's Mansion. It is also the closest to the western city gate, and if the Shenwu army comes to attack, they can react the fastest. Yuwen Chengdu sent Zhang Huai and Luo Chun to the military camp in the east of the city, and he brought more than 100 soldiers to the military camp in the north of the city. After Yuwen Chengdu came to the barracks, he was also stunned for an instant, there was not a single soldier at the door of the barracks.
When Yuwen Chengdu saw the situation in front of him, his brows furrowed instantly, how could there not be a single soldier in the 60,000-strong military camp? This made Yuwen Chengdu's heart suddenly nervous. This is a large military camp of 60,000 people, and if you rush into it, once this is a trap, you will be unlucky. However, Yuwen Chengdu only hesitated slightly, and quietly led people inside, there were only a few torches in the barracks, but there was no patrolling guard.
"Set fire!" Yuwen Chengdu gently spit out two words from his mouth, and the soldiers behind him also nodded quietly, Yuwen Chengdu had already led people to the door of the prisoner of war camp, where dozens of soldiers were guarding. It's just that these soldiers are also unmotivated. This made Yuwen Chengdu also breathe a sigh of relief, if the vigilance here was lax. They are just looking for death, after all, there are 60,000 prisoners of war held here, once these prisoners of war riot, although it is impossible to capture the illegal city, but the impact on the illegal city is definitely not small, and now the prisoner of war camp is so lax, that is, it is self-inflicted and cannot live.
Whirring, countless flames suddenly ignited the entire barracks, and Yuwen Chengdu seized the opportunity to take the soldiers under his command to overturn dozens of soldiers and rush into the prisoner of war camp. The dreary atmosphere in the prisoner of war camp made Yuwen Chengdu's brows furrow instantly, these prisoners of war seemed to have been held for too long, they had forgotten the smell of blood, and they didn't even know their identity as soldiers.
"I am Yuwen Chengdu of the Shenwu Army, and now I will go out and recover the city of Mergezhou. Yuwen Chengdu said a straight sentence, which made the eyes of each of those lifeless prisoners of war suddenly shine. Originally, they were all elite soldiers of the Bingzhou Corps, but in a round of blows by the enemy, various cities fell one after another, so that they were captured by the enemy. They had been imprisoned here for an unknown amount of time, and they had already died a lot, and they thought they wouldn't be able to wait for the day when the Imperial army would come, but suddenly hope appeared in front of them.
Yuwen Chengdu, the soldiers of the Bingzhou Corps are not unfamiliar with this name, first of all, many of the cavalry of the Bingzhou Corps are soldiers from the Yongzhou Corps under the command of Yuwencheng, they all know the prestige of Yuwen Chengdu, and now the appearance of Yuwen Chengdu makes these soldiers suddenly excited. At this time, they no longer care whether they have recovered the state city or something, and now they have only one thought in their hearts, that is, to follow Yuwen Chengdu to attack the state city.
The fire set the entire city on fire, and countless soldiers frantically slashed at the barbarian soldiers around them with all the weapons they could find. Many barbarian soldiers died at the hands of their opponents without even knowing what was going on. Luo Cheng on the other side lit the fire and led his soldiers to the place where the treasury was located. At this time, Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng were very depressed, this battle was too easy, they didn't even expect that the barbarians would be so cooperative, so that they were so easy when they captured the city of Bingzhou.
The whole sky was lit up by the flames of war, and the banner of the barbarians on the city was directly thrown down by a burly soldier, and a military flag of the Heavenly Dragon Empire was erected on the top of the city, and the soldiers shouted frantically, they never thought that they would conquer the city one day. When Yuwen Chengdu and Luo Cheng met, both of them smiled helplessly, I have to say that this kind of war was fought very easily, and the 80,000 prisoners of war were not guarded by a few people, and they were even easily beaten down. Now they have conquered the city of Bingzhou, and the city has been divided into two parts, north and south, and now all that remains is for them to hold on to the city and wait for the army in the rear.
"The barbarian army in the city has been cleared, and there are not many people in the city, otherwise our losses in this battle will be too great. Yuwen Chengdu said helplessly to Luo Cheng.
"Now that we have captured the city of Bingzhou, the barbarians will definitely not give up, and I don't think they will gather a large army to attack the city in three days. Luo Cheng said with a smile, they are not afraid of the arrival of the barbarian army, after all, they now have an army of 80,000 in hand, and these people are all elites, although they have been locked up for a period of time, their strength has declined, but they don't care at all, strong or strong, then we have to see who is stronger.
"I've been waiting for this day for a long time, and when they come, we'll let them know who the real strong are. A confident smile hung on the corner of Yuwen Chengdu's mouth, when the barbarian army came, they would let them know what the real strong man was. (To be continued......)
