Chapter 373: Yunlun City
After Ye Qing's army left the Holy Flame City, it rushed towards Yunlun City at a gallop. The Southern Forest Army dispatched 50,000 cavalry, all of which were golden war horses. This is a fourth-order magical beast, although it belongs to the horse type magical beast. But it has an extremely powerful momentum, even a tiger or a lion type of monster doesn't want to scare them.
This is also the reason why the Holy Fire Empire has cultivated so many golden war horses, this kind of demonic beast is extremely brave on the battlefield, as long as the master orders, even if there is an abyss in front of it, he dares to rush.
The mounts of the Skyfire Army are even more promising, and they are also similar in appearance to horses. But when you run, you will spew extremely hot flames from your nose. This is a war horse unique to the Holy Fire Empire, and it is a breed that has been researched and cultivated by a senior beast master for hundreds of years. Since it was specially cultivated for the Heavenly Fire Army, it was called the Heavenly Fire War Beast.
As the supreme commander of this army, Ye Qing's mount is even more incredible. It was a ninth-order flying beast.
Speaking of which, this demonic beast is also Ye Qing's old acquaintance, and he asked it for help when he first came to Sacred Fire City. Later, this demonic beast thought of Ye Qing's generosity. Moreover, as a ninth-order demonic beast, it already has wisdom no less than that of a human. It felt a special temperament from Ye Qing, and decided that Ye Qing would be absolutely extraordinary in the future. So he later returned to Ye Qing's side and said that he wanted to stay and be Ye Qing's mount.
Ye Qing just needed a flying demonic beast, and the two sides had cooperated, so he agreed. Ye Qing named this ninth-order demonic beast Xiao Hei. Because this beast is completely black, it can still reflect in the sun.
The Holy Flame Emperor named this army the Western Expeditionary Army, and the Galaxy Empire was located in the west of the Wind and Rain Continent, and the area was comparable to that of the Holy Fire Empire. They are all behemoths. And there are also powerful forces behind the Galaxy Empire.
By now, Ye Qing was already very clear about the many forces on the Fengyun Continent. Just like the four empires on the surface, in fact, there are more powerful forces behind these four empires. Behind the Holy Fire Empire is the Azure family among the four great families, and it is also one of the seven gates and four families that I heard about before.
And the force behind the Galaxy Empire is the Wind Spirit Sect of the Seven Sects, which is also an ancient sect.
Over the past thousands of years, countless large and small forces have been wiped out in the long river of history, and even the once glorious empire has been ruthlessly eliminated by time. Only the Seven Gates and Four Families have been handed down from ancient times and have been standing still, at least since records began.
Ye Qing's army sailed through the vast land like a torrent, and the morale was high all the way, and no one could stop it. Except for rest and meals, all the time was spent on the road.
At a normal marching pace, a round trip would take at least ten to twelve days. But at this rate, I'm afraid we will be able to reach Yunlun City in three days. Ye Qing knew that the other party must have mastered the time when he set off from the Holy Flame City, and he could also calculate the time to arrive at Yunlun City.
But as soon as Ye Qing did this, the other party would not be able to correctly calculate the time for the army to arrive in Yunlun City. When the time comes, he was caught off guard and just took the other party in one fell swoop.
Of course, this is only the ideal situation, and there are still variables. Wu Kongjing of the Tianhuo Army is a battle-hardened veteran marshal who has a detailed analysis of this war. From his point of view, it was best to be able to send a master to infiltrate Yunlun City. Then open one of the gates so that you can avoid the damage caused by the siege as much as possible. After all, a strong attack will cause a lot of casualties, and this is something that everyone knows.
However, Ye Qing just smiled slightly, and asked him to cooperate with him. At that time, there will be a special task given to him and the Tianhuo Army.
Sure enough, three days later, Ye Qing's army had already arrived in a forest not far from Yunlun City.
At this time, it was evening, Ye Qing asked the army to rest and cook in the depths of the woods, and then start attacking after dark.
Wu Kongjing once offered Ye Qing a few strategies, but it would take a while to implement them. And Ye Qing was in a hurry, so he didn't take it.
Ye Qing is not here for war, war is just a means, and improving strength and training are the main goals.
The soldiers were indeed slightly tired after three days of rapid marching, and they took advantage of this time to recover their strength. The main thing is that some ordinary soldiers of the Southern Forest Army need to rest, and their strength is not as good as the soldiers of the Heavenly Fire Army after all. After three days of riding, some warriors with inferior strength could only exert six to seventy percent of their combat effectiveness.
"Marshal Wu, I went to find out the situation beforehand. You take care of the situation here. ”
After speaking, Ye Qing left with Xiao Yi and Xiao Si. Of course, they were all riding on the back of the ninth-order demonic beast Xiao Hei. Xiao Hei was flying at an altitude of several thousand meters, and Ye Qing could see the terrain of Yunlun City clearly.
Yunlun City is backed by mountains on both sides and water on one side. Only the East Gate can be attacked, although the other three gates can also be passed. But it is definitely not an option to siege the city.
Flying high in the sky, Ye Qing found that Yunlun City was already in full swing at this time. Rows of soldiers guarded the four city gates, with the east gate being the most numerous. Ye Qing made a preliminary estimate that there were at least 100,000 troops guarding the East City Gate. Among them, there are 2,000 people who are special, and they should be the ace army of the Galaxy Empire - the Python Army.
The four empires all have their own ace armies, and their strength is comparable to each other, and the total number is around 10,000. It is not easy to have two thousand python pattern troops in Yunlun City, after all, this is not the imperial capital.
The Heavenly Fire Army of the Holy Fire Empire had suffered a big loss in Yunlun City, and was ambushed by the other party at that time. So at present, there are only more than six thousand left, and this time Ye Qing took five thousand out. Leaving more than a thousand days of fire on standby in the camp.
The leading general of this python army is a strong man at the peak of Wuzun, who is already a high-ranking general in the army, and is definitely a high-ranking in the army. However, Ye Qing was more concerned about how many Martial Saint-level masters there were, after all, Martial Saint-level masters were already able to change a war.
Ye Qing has another one on his side, which is Wu Kongjing, the generalissimo of the fifth level of the Martial Saint. And the city lord of Yunlun City is said to be a master of the sixth level of the Martial Saint a few years ago. If the other party broke through to the seventh level of the Martial Saint, Marshal Wu would not be able to compete with him at all. So Ye Qing must cut off his wings and find out the hidden enemies.
Although Yunlun City is not as big as the Holy Flame City, it covers an area that is not small. Fortunately, Xiao Hei's speed is fast enough, and it won't take long to circle around Yunlun City.
Ye Qing didn't find the opponent's Martial Saint powerhouse, but the opponent's Martial Saint powerhouse found him. Because Ye Qing was far away from the ground, he couldn't find it accurately. Besides, the aura of the Martial Saint powerhouse is extremely vague and difficult to detect.
However, Ye Qing flew so dashing in the sky above Yunlun City on the ninth-order demonic beast, he would naturally be discovered by the masters in Yunlun City. Even if it wasn't a time of war, Ye Qing's behavior would be considered a provocation to Yunlun City. The result is also to cause dissatisfaction with the strong people on the other side, and then come to question.
