Chapter Ninety-Nine: Heading North
Although Turtle San is an old king, it is more like an old fox, its words seem to be for his good, but in fact it is playing with him carefully.
Although the turtle three has Taixuan cultivation, but the spells it cultivates are useless, although the Inner Dan of the Yaqi Snake can deter most of the aliens in the sea, but there must be a fierce sea beast that is not afraid of the Yaqi Snake, this guy wants him to accompany it back to Middle-earth, and there is an extra layer of protection on the way.
Guessed through the mind of the turtle three, Yun Yi secretly scolded it a few times, but did not blame it, although the turtle three hearts and eyes are many, but at least the nature is not bad, this guy was taken out to sea by Xu Fu, Xu Fu was swept into the sea by the sea breeze and died, but it made a ghost to the country of Wa, the reason why he played with these careful eyes was purely because he wanted to return to Middle-earth.
After bathing, Yun Yi sat on the couch and practiced evening classes, he has been in the Tao for more than two years, and he has hardly lived a few days of peace, and he has not done much homework in the morning and evening.
Although the practice of morning and evening homework does not promote the cultivation of Reiki, it can comprehend the essence of Taoist scriptures, which is conducive to calming the mind and suppressing the exuberant fire in the body, although this method is not a long-term solution.
At this time, Yun Yi didn't want to increase his aura cultivation, the three fires internal refining could make his aura progress day by day, but its disadvantages should not be underestimated, the fire in the Taisu realm was so vigorous, it was not easy to forcibly restrain it, if the promotion to the peak Taixuan caused the heart fire, then the three fires gathered, I am afraid it would really become a flood of embankment, out of control.
In the early morning of the next day, Yun Yi ordered all the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and went to the city to break the formation of besieging the snakes.
The snakes were burned by the fire last night, and the corpses were already all over the ground, and the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed, and as soon as the formation was withdrawn, the smell of the smell spread throughout the entire East City, and it was smoking.
The corpses of the soldiers killed on both sides were cleaned up, and the results of casualties on both sides came out, the enemy army suffered 3,000 casualties, and the Heian army suffered 5,000 casualties, more than the enemy army, although the victory was over, it was a crushing victory.
Although Yun Yi felt heavy in his heart, he was not too sad, such casualties were much better than he expected, and the Baqi Snake did not leave alive, which was very good.
The army rested for three days, and after three days, Yun Yi reorganized the army and led the army north to regain the lost territory.
As soon as the Yaqi Snake died, there was no more powerful role in the Yamatai Kingdom, and the previous giant eagle was only invited by the Yaqi Orochi from elsewhere, and would not work hard for the Yamatai Kingdom, and the Yamatai army had been defeated many times, and had become a frightened bird, and did not miss the city that had been captured before, and fled back to the Yamatai Kingdom in the starry night.
Yunyi went all the way north, and recovered the lost territory of Buhu without a single soldier, and after arriving at the castle, Yunyi split the Heian army into two branches, led by Sakurako, and attacked the northwest region from the west to the west. And he led the original Buhu army to march from the east road and attack the northeast region.
Sakurako was surprised by this, because Yun Yi's move was tantamount to returning the military power to her, and after the battle of Heian City, there were still 7,000 people in the Molu army, and there were only more than 2,000 people left in the Buhu army.
Seeing Sakurako lead the army far away, Asuka Yuan said softly, "Thank you." ”
Yun Yi's expression was calm as usual, and he did not answer, although the division of troops was not conducive to not calling the army to fight, but in terms of the long-term situation, it was beneficial to the country.
The Yamatai Kingdom has a vast territory, with a large territory at the northwest end of Mount Kurosawa, where the land is fertile, suitable for farming, and densely populated, but it borders the Suroku Kingdom, and no matter whether Sakurako can take it or not, the Yamatai Kingdom will not let it go, and will definitely send heavy troops to help.
The end of the Lu army and the Yamatai army fought, and the best result was that Sakurako captured the southwestern border of the Yamatai country, and the good or bad thing was that both sides were defeated, and no one could fall well.
The worst result is the defeat of the Molu State, but the Yamatai State will also lose a lot of troops, which can reduce the pressure on the Buhu army to attack the southwest region.
In addition, even if the Yamatai Kingdom is captured, with the current strength of the Buhu Kingdom, it will not be able to rule for a long time, so neither Yun Yi nor Asuka Yuan wants to destroy the Yamatai Kingdom, Yun Yi's purpose is to strengthen the hatred between the Molu Kingdom and the Yamatai Kingdom, and the Buhu Kingdom can breathe and recuperate.
Asuka Yuan's thanks were very sincere, but this could not hide her crying, and Yun Yi had already begun to leave a way out for Buhuguo, indicating that he was also about to leave.
"Ordered the whole army to march north, preparing to attack Tiancang City. Yun Yi didn't look at Asuka Yuan's eyes.
Asuka was slightly surprised, tried to calm down, and asked, "Are you going to fight?"
"No," Yun Yi shook his head, "but we can't stand still, otherwise Sakurako will guess that we don't have the intention of going north, and she won't be stupid enough to take on the wrath of the Yamatai Kingdom for us." ”
"Since it's just pretending, why did you choose Tiancang Castle?" Asuka Yuan was even more puzzled.
The two of them have seen the map many times before, she knows that Tiancang City is the southern gate of the Yamatai Kingdom, the terrain is dangerous, and it is the hub of many cities in the southernmost part of the Yamatai Kingdom.
However, the Evil Horse Taiguo has always looked at Tiancang City very closely, and a large number of military horses are stationed all year round, and it is no longer an adventure to attack Tiancang City with 2,000 men and horses, but to take the soldiers to die.
"Sakurako must see our determination, she dares to make a move, although we don't have many soldiers and horses, but I have a way to capture Tiancang City. In addition, if Sakurako has an advantage in the northwest region and can greatly share the pressure with us, we will be able to hold Tiancang City. Yun Yi said.
"You mean, as long as we take Tiancang City, we won't fight north anymore?" Asuka Yuan asked.
"Well," Yun Yi nodded, "We don't have many people, the battle line has been stretched long enough, as long as Tiancang City is defeated, we will stick to Tiancang City." Sakurako knows that we don't have enough soldiers, and it is not easy to hold on, and we don't have the ability to fight further north. ”
"How long are we going to stay in Tiancang City?" Asuka Yuan asked again.
"It won't be long. Although Sakurako has 7,000 soldiers and horses, this is a war on someone else's territory, and the Yama Taiguo can mobilize more reinforcements at any time, but she is isolated and easily defeated, once she is at a disadvantage, she can only send someone to ask us for help. Yun Yi chuckled.
"Then we can take the opportunity to rescue her to withdraw from Tiancang City and help her conquer the northwest region, and then we will withdraw our troops and let them contain each other, and we will take the opportunity to recuperate. Asuka suddenly realized.
"Yes, yes. Yun Yi nodded heavily.
"Can't you stay?" Asuka Yuan changed his words, although Yun Yi had already left enough way for Bu Huguo to retreat, but she was not happy about it, because the more spacious the back road Yun Yi left behind, the stronger his determination to leave.
"I'm a homeless orphan and not very attached to Middle-earth, but I still have a lot of doubts in my heart, and I have to go back to find out. Yun Yi took out the drawing talisman from his bosom, drew the locator together, and handed it to the bird.
Asuka Yuan silently took over the locator, when she attacked the Hasegawa military camp at night, Yun Yi also gave her a locator, although the talisman was written in linen, but it was the same as the rune on this talisman, she knew the role of the locator very well, and also knew Yun Yi's intention to leave the locator.
Sakurako also took a large amount of grain and grass with him when he marched to the northwest, but the grain and grass in the mansion of the castle tower were very sufficient, and there was no risk of running out of food without calling the army.
After marching for three days, he arrived at 20 miles outside Tiancang City, where Yun Yi took a crane into the air and looked at Tiancang City in the distance.
The reason why Tiancang Castle is the southern gate of Yamatai Kingdom is not only because Amakura Castle is located in the southernmost part of Yamatai Kingdom, but also because there is a continuous mountain range running east-west on the left and right sides of Amakura Castle, which is high and steep, and it is very steep.
Although the two mountains are adjacent to each other, they are not related to each other, and there should be more than 30 li in between, and the Yamatai Kingdom took advantage of this feature to build a city between the two mountains, connecting the originally unrelated mountains and forming a strong barrier.
The geographical location of Tiancang Castle is superior, the east and west sides are attached to the mountain and do not open the city gate, only the north and south open the city gate.
To the north of the castle tower is the fertile fields, and it is close to the capital of the Yamatai Kingdom, with vast plains and unobstructed roads, so whether it is marching or transporting food, you can reach the battlefield at the first time without delaying the warplanes.
There were a lot of defenders in Tiancang Castle, except for the enemy troops who fled here after the first battle of Heian Castle, the original army here was no less than 10,000 people.
With 2,000 people attacking the city garrisoned by tens of thousands of people, Yun Yi was completely unsure, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow, and he could only fight now, and he could only win and not lose.
The 2,000 Buhu army is all the troops that can be mobilized at present, and there are still 30,000 soldiers in the Buhu country to guard the frontier in all directions, which means that once the 2,000 people are exhausted, there will be no more soldiers available.
After thinking about it, Yun Yi ordered the crane to land and ordered Flying Bird Yuan to lead the army to retreat twenty miles. Asuka didn't know what he meant, but he gave the order to retreat.
Seeing that the flying bird yuan led the army to retreat far away, Yun Yi flew to Tiancang City by crane, and it was necessary to fight, but he couldn't let the Buhu army participate, otherwise they would all be lost here, and after taking Tiancang City, someone needed to guard it, and none of these people could die.
The so-called snake man shoots the horse first, captures the thief and captures the king first, and the best way at the moment is to find the defending general of Tiancang City and force him to withdraw from Tiancang City.
Before the crane flew into Tiancang City, the defenders in the city saw the Yunyi coming by crane, shouted and guarded, the archers in the city quickly assembled, pulled the string and opened the bow, aimed at the crane in the air Ten thousand arrows were fired together, the sound of the bowstring clanging was not dispersed, and the arrows like raindrops swept half of the sky.
Yun Yi ordered the crane to raise its wings, avoid the bustling arrows, and accelerate towards the city.
The dense array of arrows rose into the air and then fell downward, and before the arrows could hit the ground, the archers on the walls had already released their arrows again.
