Chapter 367: Cataclysm (II)
The remnant sun in the distance is like blood, the afterglow has not dispersed, and the dynasty has exhausted the three armies, the momentum is like a rainbow, and it marches into Sanmenxia.
At this moment, Yi Xiao only had the strategist Xin Su and Situ Yan who designed the strategy of Sanmenxia.
"I heard that the Black Prison Cavalry is extremely fast, fierce and tenacious, what kind of trick does the gentleman use to easily defeat it?" Xin Su seemed to be slightly puzzled by this matter, but in fact, he asked for King Ning.
Situ Yan nodded slightly, pointed to the southwest and said: "There is a canyon in the southeast of Sanmenxia, called the Iron Kettle Stream. There is only one trail in and out of this canyon, and once the junction is closed, there is no other way to escape. I have sent my men and horses to the iron kettle stream to bury mines and firearms, and I only need a team of brave men to go to Sanmenxia to challenge the Lionheart Float, and my army is feinting behind, and the Lionheart Float is eager to make meritorious contributions, and will personally lead the whole army to launch a surprise attack. At that time, our whole army quickly retreated in the direction of the iron kettle stream, and hid in the mountains on both sides, leaving only a small group of men and horses to lure the enemy into the valley. As soon as the enemy entered the iron kettle stream, our army quickly blocked the mouth of the valley, and then detonated the firearms in the valley, and disciplined the 80,000 cavalry of the Lionheart Futu to be wiped out. ”
"Although this plan is good, once Lionheart Futu notices that our army is retreating suddenly, what should I do if I know that it is a trick to lure the enemy and refuse to chase after it?" Yi Xiao only felt that this move was too light on the enemy, after all, if it was himself, seeing the enemy's retreat so decisively, there must be an ambush behind.
"The demon army has always been arrogant, it doesn't know the art of war, it doesn't know tactics, and it only knows how to defeat the enemy by brute force. Lionheart Futu is the horseman of the horseman, as long as you see King Ning, your banner, he will come to chase after him. ”
"Then it's up to the gentleman. Seeing that Situ Yan was so confident, Yi Xiao didn't want to say anything more about it.
......
Mo Yiyue returned to the camp alone, looking much more relaxed than before.
Mu Yuncheng saw him change, and knew that he had seen the person next to King Ning, so he asked, "Do you know the person who advised King Ning?" The conversation between Mo Yiyue and Jiang Zheng before, he could hear it clearly in the tent.
"I don't recognize him, but watching him arrange his troops in a very orderly manner, it is by no means idle. ”
Mu Yuncheng was stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "I can get a compliment from Mr. Mo, this person is really extraordinary!"
Mo Yiyue smiled bitterly, took a sip of tea, and said to Mu Yuncheng: "There are not many troops left in the camp, and Ji Lang's chariot of destruction has already driven to Zhongzhou, if you want to stop him, except for you and me, I am afraid that you will have to rely on one person." ”
Mu Yuncheng smiled, and the light in his eyes seemed to be in line with him: "Are you referring to Wu Qi?"
Mo Yiyue nodded, after all, Wu Qi is the grandson of the great craftsman Wu Fan, and only he can compete with Yan masters and alchemists like Xing Xuan and Ji Lang.
On the other hand, the raid of the Three Demon Kings made Uncle Tai Hong unguarded, although he received a letter from King Ning, he did not expect that Prince Peng would be so ruthless.
The situation in Zhongyang Pass is critical, and it is already impossible to defend. Tai Shuhong led his elite soldiers to withdraw from Zhongyang Pass and fled to Yunzhou for temporary refuge. The consequences of Prince Peng's occupation of Zhongyang Pass were as Situ Yan expected, and he immediately ordered troops to chase and kill Tai Shuhong. But at this moment, the Shadow Demon of Sanmenxia sent the latest news, King Ning raised 100,000 soldiers and horses of the dynasty army to attack Sanmenxia, and Lionheart Futu led all the Black Prison cavalry to meet the enemy.
Lord Peng knew the power of the Black Prison Cavalry, but he was also worried. There are many capable people under King Ning's account, and if there is no perfect strategy, he will not raise three armies to fight for Sanmenxia.
Lionheart Futu has always been brave and unscrupulous, once defeated and lost Sanmenxia, Zhongzhou will become a tug-of-war between himself and the Dynasty Army, as well as the Xiliang Army. And if it becomes a full momentum, he has just grabbed Tai Shuhong's territory, and he has lost his faith, and Xiliang Jun is afraid of death and refuses to cooperate with him again. Therefore, we must prevent Sanmenxia from falling back into the hands of the dynasty army! Thinking of this, he ordered Ma Mojun to lead 30,000 demon soldiers to garrison Zhongyang Pass to prevent Taishuhong from sneaking attack. He led the remaining 70,000 demon soldiers to rush back to Sanmenxia to support, and he must not let Sanmenxia fall into the hands of Yi Xiao.
......
The imperial army acted according to the plan, and when he lured the army of Lionheart Futu into the iron kettle stream, an arrow flew into the sky, and the whole valley shook in an instant. It was as if the power of thunder borrowed from the heavens by the imperial army, the sky collapsed, and the rubble rained down. The serial explosions terrified and caught the Lionheart's troops even more unprepared, and the raging fire spread through the valley in an instant. The light of the fire pierced in strings and connected into lines, like a hungry fire dragon, wantonly hunting and killing the cavalry of Lionheart's Futu.
Facing the battle wall of the dynasty's army stacked with iron shields, the Black Prison Cavalry wanted to break through in the narrow valley, which was simply wishful thinking. The smell of burning began to grow stronger, and the wailing became much quieter.
The fire was still burning, but it was lifeless, only on the bare ground, gnawing on the last scraps.
The soldiers in front brought back the news of the victory, and Yi Xiao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but there was bad news again.
The Black Prison Cavalry, besieged by the flames and already charred, rose from the ruins again, and the horses and soldiers turned into skeletons continued to be imposing, but the imperial army began to retreat in fright.
Lionheart Futu laughed proudly, the magic flag flailed, and ordered the whole army to rush over immediately and capture Yi Xiao alive.
Yi Xiao and Situ Yan ascended the heights, saw the Black Prison Cavalry of the Lionheart Futu come back from the dead, broke through the two lines of defense of the dynasty army, and went straight to their own location.
"What is this?" Yi Xiao had never seen such an army, it could be resurrected from the dead, so even if there were a million dynasty soldiers, they would not be his opponents.
"It's the Necronomicon. "Situ Yan didn't expect that the Lionheart Floating Slaughter would have such a treasure, the Black Prison Cavalry was the most courageous unit in the Demon Cavalry. Now that it has been summoned by the Necromantic Heavenly Book, it has become an undead cavalry, invulnerable, and its combat ability has been improved by more than one notch.
"What should I do, do you order the withdrawal of the troops?" Seeing that the situation was not good, Xin Su hurriedly asked. He looked around left and right, Bi An had already led his guards to rush forward to block the vanguard of the undead cavalry, and now King Ning was beside him in addition to himself and Situ Yan, there was also a soldier who gave orders.
"I can lead an army to the siege, and when Lionheart sees that our army is turning to the siege, he will send a large army back to help. In this way, our troops can safely evacuate this place. Situ Yan suggested again.
"That's all there is to it. Yi Xiao immediately ordered him to lead the rear army of 40,000 soldiers and horses, and led the front to quickly capture Sanmenxia.
At this time, the soldiers who stayed in the camp of the dynasty army were also in full swing to cooperate with Saburo to dig a deep ditch. The deep ditch was wide, filled with muddy water, covered with turf, and very hidden.
This is the obstacle that Wu Qi designed for the chariot of destruction, once the chariot drives into a deep ditch, it will sink into the mud and cannot move, maybe there is a way for the chariot to get out of trouble, but it will also consume a lot of his time.
At this moment, the battle report from the front was transmitted back to the camp.
Mo Yiyue took the battle report, and her expression suddenly became nervous.
Seeing this, Mu Yuncheng hurriedly borrowed the battle report from Mo Yiyue's book, and listened to Mo Yiyue's anxiety that he had never had: "It's too underestimated to look down on the Lionheart Futu's troops, the demon soldiers have special abilities, how can they be dealt with with by ordinary military techniques?" Situ Yan led the army to attack the city again, once King Peng got the news and rushed back in advance, King Ning would be under siege, and the 100,000 army would be left behind. ”
"Ah, so, what should I do?" Mu Yuncheng was also anxious when he heard this, and saw Mo Yiyue's eyes fall back on him, "I can only rely on you." ”
"Rely on me?" he was puzzled at first, but then reacted and immediately nodded, "I will save King Ning!"
Looking at Mo Yiyue again, she pulled him down, "I didn't mean that, the letter said that after the Lionheart Futu's troops were burned to death by the flames, they turned into undead spirits and continued to fight, such a spell should be from the Book of Necromancy." All you need to do is kill the Lionheart Butcher, burn the banner he commands, and the group of undead knights should disperse. ”
