Chapter 175: Sweeping the World
Hebei, Pingyuan County!
This is the territory of the warlord Dou Jiande, who has just raised his banner.
Not long after Dou Jiande raised his banner, the people's hearts were undecided, and in order to prevent anyone from making trouble, he left an army to guard every city he occupied.
"Boom ......"
Suddenly, the earth shook, and the sound of thousands of troops marching was heard in the distance, and the soldiers in Pingyuan County were immediately alarmed.
When they looked into the distance, they immediately saw the dust in the sky, and then they saw an army like an endless tide, quickly flooding Pingyuan County.
"Oh no, there's an enemy attack!"
The soldiers of Pingyuan County turned pale with fright when they saw the boundless army that was flooding like a tide.
There was a great chaos in the whole plain county.
They immediately closed the gates of the city and waited for it.
When the tidal army marched to a distance of five hundred meters from Plains City, it suddenly stopped, without a little confusion, the order was forbidden, and the discipline was strict, which made people's scalps tingle.
"Damn, which force is this, it is so extravagant, that every soldier has iron armor, and also has heavy cavalry......"
Zhang Qingshi, the general under Dou Jiande, stood on the city wall, looking at the dense number of ironclad soldiers at least 30,000 not far away, as well as about 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, and the 1,000 or so mysterious legions carrying giant maces and wearing masks and gold armor, fine cold sweat instantly broke out on their faces.
In Zhang Qingshi's eyes, this army is extravagant.
You know, in today's chaotic world, iron is a very precious resource.
Therefore, the legions controlled by the vast majority of forces in the world are equipped with very little armor...... Under normal circumstances, an army of 100,000 can be equipped with 10,000 pairs of armor and 300 pairs of vests. Moreover, the coarser cloth armor and leather armor still occupy the majority.
Only some officers of the rank of general will be equipped with iron armor.
But what does he see now?
This army of unknown forces, more than 30,000 soldiers are all equipped with iron armor, and the more than 3,000 soldiers are also equipped with heavy armor, as for the last 1,000 mysterious mysterious legions carrying maces, they are equipped with gold armor that is extremely expensive at a glance.
It's like an army built with money.
Zhang Qingshi couldn't imagine any force in the world with such a terrifying army, even the Xiaoguo army during the Sui Dynasty was not so extravagant.
In the face of such an army, Zhang Qingshi felt extremely pressure...... With only the more than 3,000 ordinary soldiers under his command, how could he be able to stop it?
"It's over!"
Zhang Qingshi's face turned pale, and he knew that Pingyuan County was lost.
At this moment, in the silent army below, a path was suddenly abandoned, and two people rode to the front. One of them was a middle-aged general in armor, and the other was a scholar in a Confucian robe.
"General Lin, how long do you think it will take for us to capture this city?"
Fang Xuanling smiled and looked at Lin Shihong beside him. In this army, Lin Shihong is the commander, and he is the military advisor.
"At most, in an hour, we can successfully take Pingyuan County. ”
Lin Shihong looked around at the 30,000 ironclad soldiers, 3,000 heavy-armored cavalry, and 1,000 dragon elephant legions around him, and his heart was full of pride.
With such elite soldiers, he is confident that no army in the world is his opponent.
30,000 ironclad soldiers and 3,000 heavily armored cavalry were enough to shock the world, and he believed that no force could deploy such a luxurious legion except for their demon gate.
What's more, he also has 1 Thousand Dragon Elephant Legion.
This Dragon Elephant Legion is a legion secretly built and cultivated by the Holy Emperor of their Demon Gate, each soldier is a third-rate or more martial artist, and then cultivates the Dragon Elephant Pan Ruogong and Baichuan Nahai Gong taught by the Holy Emperor, supplemented by Baichuan Nahai Gong, Dragon Elephant Pan Ruogong is the mainstay, each of them will cultivate the Dragon Elephant Pan Ruogong to more than four layers, each of them is a warrior with infinite strength, plus the configuration of heavy weapons mace, one blow, even if the first-class martial artist does not die, he will be seriously injured.
The combat power of a dragon elephant soldier may not be very large, at most it is comparable to a first-class martial artist, but if hundreds of a thousand such dragon elephant soldiers form a legion, it will be terrifying.
I'm afraid that except for a very small number of grandmasters with extremely high combat power, ordinary grandmasters can't compete head-on with more than a thousand dragon elephant legions.
"It's a pity that the Holy Emperor only gave us 1,000 dragon elephant soldiers, if you give us a few thousand, only give me a month, I can sweep the entire Hebei and Shandong. ”
Lin Shihong said with some dissatisfaction.
When Fang Xuanling heard this, he smiled slightly: "General Lin, you are content." This dragon elephant soldier is not easy to cultivate, even His Royal Highness the King of Jin, he has only cultivated 10,000.
In order to train and help these soldiers to cultivate Baichuan Nahai Gong and Dragon Elephant Panruo Gong, His Royal Highness the King of Jin almost took down all the felons and death row prisoners who knew martial arts in the previous dynasty for them to devour their skills. Even the bandits in our sphere of influence have taken ...... Not to mention, he had to spend an astronomical amount of cultivation resources.
His Royal Highness the King of Jin was able to assign us 1 thousand dragon elephant soldiers, which is already very good. ”
"Haha, this general is just talking, how dare he bury the Holy Emperor. Lin Shihong laughed, and then said slightly seriously, "However, we can't wait too long in such a small city. You must know that under the command of the Holy Emperor, this time it is not only our army that will be dispatched, we must defeat Dou Jiande as soon as possible, otherwise let the other armies take the lead in making great contributions, and I, the master of the White Tiger Hall, and you, the military advisor, will lose face. ”
When Fang Xuanling heard this, his eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Yes, we must make great achievements first." Dou Jiande is not our opponent, but we must be fast. General, give the order to attack the city!"
Lin Shihong nodded slightly, waved his right hand forward suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Kill!"
In an instant, 30,000 ironclad soldiers immediately poured towards Pingyuan County like a tide, many of them carrying siege ladders.
In Pingyuan County, Zhang Qingshi and the soldiers under his command looked at the ironclad soldiers who were surging like a tide, feeling the overwhelming murderous aura, and their faces turned pale one by one.
"Block, you must block ......"
Zhang Qingshi shouted frantically at the city wall, commanding the soldiers under his command.
Soon, many siege ladders were erected on the city walls, and the ironclad soldiers climbed up along the siege ladders and fought with the soldiers defending the city.
The equipment of the two sides is too far apart.
The soldiers defending the city were mostly dressed in rough cloth armor, and their weapons were of inferior quality. It is incomparable to the shining iron armor of the ironclad soldiers and the weapons that flicker with cold light.
When the defenders' attacks fall on the Ironclad Soldiers, most of the attacks are difficult to seriously injure the Ironclad Soldiers, except for a few that hit the vital point.
But when the attack of the ironclad soldiers fell on the defenders, the defenders were either severely wounded or killed.
In just a few moments, the defenders of the city suffered heavy casualties and retreated.
At this moment, a drum sounded below, and the ironclad soldiers who had the upper hand suddenly retreated, and even the siege ladders were carried away.
This made Zhang Qingshi and the soldiers defending the city who suffered heavy casualties inexplicable...... The other party has clearly gained the upper hand, as long as they fight for another hour or so, they can take Pingyuan County, why did they suddenly retreat at this time?
However, just when Zhang Qingshi and many soldiers defending the city were thinking nonsense, an earth-shattering sound suddenly came from the city gate...... I saw that the entire gate of the city was blown to pieces.
Finished!
Zhang Qingshi and the soldiers defending the city, looking at the bombed city gate, their minds were blank, they couldn't imagine that the other party still had such a terrifying weapon.
"Hahaha, this powder bomb that the Holy Emperor ordered Lu Miaozi to make is indeed a siege weapon. This will not only greatly reduce our casualties, but also save us time. ”
Lin Shihong laughed loudly, and pointed his long sword at Pingyuan County: "The heavy armored cavalry is in front, the Dragon Elephant Legion is in the center, and the ironclad soldiers are in the back, give the general a charge!"
Suddenly, 3,000 heavy armored cavalry and 1,000 dragon elephant legions rushed towards the city gate of Pingyuan County, followed by 30,000 ironclad elite soldiers.
The dense army entered Pingyuan County like a torrent, and Zhang Qingshi and the soldiers defending the city had no time to resist and could not resist.
Half an hour later, Zhang Qingshi was killed in battle, and all the remaining soldiers defending the city surrendered.
......
Not long after Lin Shihong's army captured Pingyuan County, the other three armies under Ning Que also captured Muyang in Li Zitong's sphere of influence, Tongchuan in the Li lord's sphere of influence in the Guanzhong region, and Huaijun County in the area of influence of the Wagang Army.
......
Half a month later, the entire Hebei, most of the Jiangdu region, one-third of the Guanzhong region, and most of the Wagang Army's sphere of influence were occupied by the Demon Gate Army with a devastating momentum, and the Demon Gate Army had swept the world.
In the world, almost all the forces are panicked, and they regard the army of the Demon Gate as a flood of beasts.
