Chapter 236: Air Force vs Cavalry
The vision in the depths of the Brute Bone Mountains and the subsequent earth-shattering explosion aroused the curiosity and speculation of many witnesses, and became a hot topic of conversation for a short time. But after a day, the heat of the topic cooled down rapidly.
Because there's another, more eye-catching thing going on.
The northern border of Shengyun Country, Iron Tooth City, City Lord's Mansion.
The majestic and burly city lord Qi Gang walked out of the gate wearing a general's armor, and the guards who followed him casually asked, "How is the deployment?"
"My lord, all the officers and soldiers of our army have been deployed, and the corresponding equipment to defend the city has also been moved to the city. β
"Good. Qi Gang smiled with satisfaction, then touched and looked at the ruby network login device hanging under his neck, and asked softly: "Zhi Brain, have the scouts you sent out have found out? How long will it take for the army from the Northern Regions to arrive?
"Judging from the current marching speed of the opponent, it will enter the patrol range of Iron Fang City in thirty minutes. There are a total of 80,000 troops, all of them cavalry, including 10,000 elites, all of whom are not only good at riding and shooting, but also good at using strong bows, and the range of bows and arrows can reach thousands of kilometers away. γ
Qi Gang bared his teeth: "A 20,000 cavalry archer......? Haven't your reinforcements arrived yet?"
"It's already here. Please look in the direction of the south of the city. γ
"Oh?" Qi Gang heard this, turned his head to look at the south of Iron Tooth City, and saw that a large group of flying beasts was approaching on the horizon, and the specific number could not be determined, but just by visual inspection, it could be judged that there were at least five or six thousand.
Each alien beast exudes a momentum that is far stronger than that of ordinary eagle birds, and is not inferior to the martial arts powerhouse that has cultivated its internal strength, so many alien beasts gather into an army, and their momentum is linked, so that the chickens, ducks, birds, and mice in the Iron Tooth City are all like ants in a hot pot, and they all look panicked and eager to escape.
"This, are they all alien beasts? This number of alien beasts is an army that has never been seen before......" Qi Gang unconsciously imagined that if these alien beast armies were going to attack the city, would he, the Iron Tooth City, be able to stop it.
Just fantasizing about that kind of scene, he couldn't help but take a breath.
Needless to say, a powerful martial artist like Qi Gang with a good perception ability, even the ordinary residents in the city gradually had a suppressed instinctive feeling as the army of alien beasts gradually approached.
"Lord of the City, there are 10,000 alien beast warriors and 4,000 cavalry in our army, all of whom have the ability to fly, and now they need to enter the city to repair, please get ready. γ
"Huh......" Qi Gang had to confirm carefully: "You Hongyu Building, can you guarantee the absolute safety of these strange beasts, right?"
"Of course. In addition, please rest assured that we will not enter the civil street, please draw some unused open space near the city wall and the military camp of the city guard for us, and there is no need to prepare a special camp. γ
"Okay. Glancing at the commotion that was gradually rising in the city due to the approach of the alien beast herd, Qi Gang nodded, passed the order through the platform login device that had been distributed to the generals at all levels, and gave an order to the street patrol guards by the way: "Go to the city street to appease the frightened people, but don't fight yet, we will be in chaos first." β
γWhoa!γ
Three minutes later, a large group of strange beasts of all kinds flew into the sky above Iron Tooth City, dense like dark clouds, covering most of the sky above Iron Tooth City.
Even if there had been a notice, the people below, whether soldiers or civilians, still looked up nervously, for fear that these strange beasts would suddenly burst out with ferocity and pounce on humans to prey on humans.
In the middle of these strange beasts, Jiang Yan sat on the back of Ziqu, which was only about the size of a griffin beast after being reduced in size, and on his shoulder stood a fist-sized handsome eagle with feathers like gold and bronze.
Next to him, Luo Yingjie sat on a second-level flying beast, also looking down at the scenery of Iron Tooth City below.
Beside them, there were also 4,000 flying beast cavalry guarding them, and if General Bai was here, he would find that these people were part of the group of Yan soldiers that Hongyulou had recruited from the Yan Kingdom last time.
"Hah, it seems to have scared our allies. Spread out and land, and be careful not to disturb the inhabitants of the city. Ziqu, let's go directly to the City Lord's Mansion. β
"Yes. β
After a while, Jiang Yan and his party met with Qi Gang in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion.
Looking at the two young men on the opposite side, who were no more than twenty-five years old, Qi Gang couldn't help but frown secretly-this is the leader of the reinforcements sent by the Red Jade Building this time? Why are they all so young.
Although he thought so in his heart, he naturally would not be rude on the surface.
"I've been waiting for a long time, let me introduce myself, my name is Qi Gang, the city lord of this Iron Tooth City, first of all, let me thank you again for your support......!
Seeing Qi Gang's probing gaze, Jiang Yan smiled slightly, took two steps back, and let Luo Yingjie be in front - don't look at me, I am a soy sauce maker, and this is the one who speaks.
"Ahem, I've seen the city lord......" Luo Yingjie briefly introduced himself.
"It turns out that you are the one from the Luo family in Tianyun City...... Even if it's me, I've heard of your performance on the frontline battlefield of the alliance, and you're not yet thirty years old, you're really a hero, and I'm afraid that among the younger generation, only the two geniuses of Zhongyuan and Yan can be compared. β
"Where, you're over-praised, compared to those two, I'm still a lot behind. Luo Yingjie smiled bitterly, and his smile was a little gloomy.
Today's Luo Yingjie has reached the realm of the second and seventh order in his cultivation, and all the one hundred and eight acupoints in his body have been developed, and he has entered the realm of detachment, and has begun to carry out cell-level deep refining of his physical body. When the tempering is completed, he will be able to completely break the limits of the mortal body and forge the body of the martial arts.
The reason why Luo Yingjie's cultivation progressed so quickly was thanks to the tempering of the battlefield.
People with unique luck can get the support of luck, both in action and cultivation, and killing enemies, especially defeating or killing those who also have extraordinary luck, is a very effective way to restore and strengthen one's luck.
Luo Yingjie, as one of the people who have the fortune of the Mandate of Heaven, although he was severely defeated once before, but he still retains a little foundation, after he was cultivated by Jiang Yan, he then threw himself into the battlefield battle between the Yan Kingdom and the Yuan Kingdom Alliance to continuously kill strong enemies, and after turning the qi of the enemy's defeated into nourishment for his own growth, the luck on his body gradually recovered a lot. In addition, there is also the reward of the country's luck that he invisibly obtained after making many military exploits in the Yuan Alliance, which also further restored his personal luck.
After that, after using the secret method of actively stimulating qi luck to increase the efficiency of cultivation that Jiang Yan had collected through various channels, Luo Yingjie let the cultivation speed increase again and again until the current point.
Not only did his cultivation progress rapidly, but Yan Yiming of the Yan State and Fang Zitie of the Yuan Kingdom, as the sons of luck that the two parties focused on cultivating, both held the position of commander of the army, and each directly enjoyed the national fortune behind him, and the speed of cultivation was even more exaggerated.
Now, according to the latest information obtained, the strength of those two people has both reached the realm of the late stage of the second-level and ninth-order transcendent realm, compared to the return to the Yuan realm before the war, they have jumped three or four small steps in a row.
Thinking of this, Luo Yingjie couldn't help but feel unhappy in his heart.
"Ma Dan, if it weren't for the support of the Red Jade Building standing behind me, and the two sides would not be able to tear their faces, I'm afraid that even if I wasn't killed by the enemy on the battlefield, I would have been assassinated by the masters of the Yuan Kingdom!
Thinking back to the inexplicable and terrifying chill he felt many times in Baixincheng before leaving, Luo Yingjie was a little afraid: "Fortunately, I left in time at that time. β
After Qi Gang talked about this topic, Luo Yingjie's expression was a little strange, although he didn't understand it very well, but he didn't continue to study it without interest.
"This one is ......"
"This is also the descendant of the younger generation of my Luo family, named Jiang Yan, the righteous son of the head of my Luo family, and the commander of another reinforcement sent by Hongyulou this time. β
Qi Gang's brows jumped slightly--obediently, this is another genius of the younger generation of the Luo family, and he even defeated Luo Yingjie at the beginning, setting a record for the shortest breakthrough from acquired to innate in the Canglan Domain, how could such an important person come to his Iron Tooth City, which is about to turn into a battlefield?
Because the top level of Sheng Yun had already united with the Red Jade Tower, the Luo family, as a subordinate of the Red Jade Tower, had also paid attention to the relevant information, and they had an impression of the three geniuses in their clan who had great hopes of advancing to the Heavenly Rank in the future.
'Even if the innate combat power of the Red Jade Building is as much as a dog, it can't ignore these future Heavenly Rank Seeds?...... Or are they confident that they will ensure the safety of these two people? According to the intelligence, there are two great heavenly orders in the army of the Northern Grasslands that have returned to attack, and if they want to protect people under such threats......
Qi Gang's eyes lit up, and he asked tentatively: "Dare to ask, this time, do you have the support of the Heavenly Rank masters who accompany the army?"
"Of course. β
"I don't know where you are?"
Luo Yingjie smiled mysteriously: "This, you will know when the time comes." β
Half an hour later.
On the northern wall of Iron Tooth City, Jiang Yan and his party looked at the black-pressed army on the horizon that was gradually becoming clearer and clearer.
"The enemy cavalry is good at plain warfare, and is proficient in cavalry and archery, and it is very disadvantageous for us to rashly send troops out of the city to meet them. Therefore, I intend to let the soldiers defend the city, and if they are condescending, they can also suppress the play of the cavalry archers of the steppe barbarians. Qi Gang also stood at the head of the city and observed the enemy army, and then he said loudly.
As a fortress on the northern border, the terrain on the east and west sides is not suitable for marching, and it will be inconvenient for infantry to pass through, let alone cavalry. Therefore, as long as you hold this place, you can effectively keep the enemy's army out of the country.
"In contrast, your flying beast cavalry has air superiority, how about using bows and arrows from high in the air?" β
"Thank you, but it's not necessary, our flying cavalry have their own weapons, just to try out the actual combat performance. β
......
Five miles outside the city, the cavalry of the Northern Grassland hunted with flags, and the army formation of 80,000 people formed a sea of people, which looked very spectacular at a glance.
In front of the military formation, there were tens of thousands of black-armored cavalry arrayed with a momentum that was obviously higher than that of other soldiers, and Lie Cang wore a majestic silver-white light armor and walked to the front of the army to call the formation. However, of course, Iron Tooth City still closed its gates, and had no intention of going out of the city to face the battle.
Lie Cang was not very surprised, he urged the majestic and tall unicorn to return to the military formation, stood up and looked at the commander's sedan chair in the center of the military formation, and nodded to the grassland king who was sitting cross-legged on the sedan chair.
Fierce Red raised his wine glass to Lie Cang, and suddenly crushed the glass, and the wine splashed.
His voice was amplified by Zhen Yuan, and it came clearly: "Wu'er, you are the pride of our grassland, go, let's sweep the battle for you, let those cowards in the city see the bravery and strength of our grassland warriors! Let their blood be sprinkled into the soil like this wine!"
"Of course. Lie Cang nodded lightly, then looked at Iron Tooth City again, smiled hideously, and the strong martial arts true qi amplified the words, turning the battle cry into a thunder like earth-shattering: "Warriors of the grassland, the prey we are waiting for is right in front of us, come, ravage them as alwaysββ!!
Then this battle cry fell, and the grassland army, which was originally stationary, suddenly moved at this moment, with the scorching sky as the sharp cone, the charge launched by countless black-armored cavalry rolled up a large piece of flying dust, turning into a tsunami-like huge torrent swept over, and the huge momentum seemed to crush the Iron Tooth City.
"Is it the elite iron cavalry with strong bow riding and archery skills who are leading the charge? I heard that the range is more than a kilometer, so I can't let you approach at will. Jiang Yan touched his chin.
"Yingjie, let's do it too. Huang Ming, you follow too. β
"Chirp!"
"Yes!"
"All staff, lift off ββ!" Luo Yingjie gave the order to act with network authority, although the voice was not loud, but the total number of tens of thousands of Red Jade Tower soldiers scattered all over the Iron Tooth City, even if they were far away, they all acted in an instant.
Luo Yingjie jumped into the sky, sat on the back of a black iron eagle of the second and ninth orders and flew up into the air.
At the same time, the major walls of Iron Tooth City, the suburbs of the city, and the military camps, there were countless flying beasts that also rose into the sky, converging into a spectacular sea of flying beasts above the city, rising to a height of more than a thousand meters, and slamming down on the grassland cavalry charging on the ground below.
Such a conspicuous scene will naturally not be missed by the steppe army.
"That's ...... Could it be that this is the bombardment team of the flying beasts of the Red Jade Mansion mentioned in the intelligence!?" Lie Cang suddenly recalled the relevant information, but he didn't have much worry in his heart.
Now that you know it in advance, you will naturally not be unprepared.
"Elder Xi, I'm sorry for you. The fierce red eyes in the army were clear, and he immediately looked at the white-eyed old man beside him.
"The old man knows. Elder Xi nodded, and his body suddenly flew out of the military sedan chair, turning into a white shadow and appearing in front of the air cavalry in the Red Jade Tower, raising his hand and waving fiercely at the air cavalry.
"Dead ββ!"
A stream of emerald green yuan power erupted from his hand, turning into a whirlpool of wind that rotated wildly, and then in a few blinks of an eye, it spread into a violent wind covering hundreds of meters, and the storm carried countless transparent wind blades like mud and slaughtered the opposing army of air cavalry.
Looking at the deadly wind blade that struck, Luo Yingjie's scalp tightened, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Huang Ming!"
"Rest assured. The golden eagle bird beside Luo Yingjie spoke, smiled faintly, and then turned into a golden light that shot out, and a dazzling golden aura rose from its body, and then its body swelled suddenly, and suddenly turned into a super giant bird with a wingspan of thirty meters wide.
"Hehe, the wind, according to you humans, it's called 'fire borrowing the wind', right?"
A trace of disdain flashed in Huang Ming's eyes, and then he opened his beak, and a mouthful of blazing golden fire of the Ming King erupted from his mouth, turning into a large sea of fire and colliding with the incoming storm, and after exploding the shattered flames in the sky, he swallowed the storm violently, and then the fire rose by three points and pounced on the angry Elder Xi.
