Chapter 80: Xiongcheng, the Perverted Xiongcheng
Under the pretext of 'protecting' the life and safety of Marshal Wen Yuan, Yang Tian did not have the slightest shame to let his army stick to Wen Yuan's Chinese army, and the two million army was like a giant python slowly moving forward on the wilderness. Wen Yuan didn't have any way about Yang Tian's rogue moves, he ordered all the front armies to keep the safest distance and be ready to support friendly forces at any time, although Yang Tian's front army was too close to the Chinese army, but there was no conflict with his own orders.
A group of generals of the Chinese army had no choice but to smile bitterly with Wen Yuan, watching Yang Tian ride back and forth outside Lixu Road, refusing to leave one more step. Zeng Guoxuan raised his head and sighed: "Boss, I really don't understand you anymore, why do you want to follow the Chinese army? We have a million military horses under our command, everything is good, just grab a city and be so comfortable...... Following the Chinese army, even if you want to play with a chick, you have to be careful that the military judge is looking for trouble, why should we bother?"
Yang Tian shook his head and drove the horses under the seat to step in broken steps, playing with all kinds of tricks, and said without raising his head: "You idiot, those skeleton shelves have been wandering around for I don't know how long, and there is a fart city for us to play." Besides, God knows if the Black Cloud Legion has increased its troops, and before we figure out the exact strength of the other party, we should still follow the Chinese army. After all, most of the artillery is under the jurisdiction of the Chinese army, and even if they rush over with millions of people, we have nothing to fear. Isn't it?"
Jiang Chunshui suddenly realized: "The boss is smart, on the battlefield, it's the first life, it's good to save your life, isn't it? Little girl, where can't you play? What's more, I have also seen several villages on the road, and the women inside don't seem to take a bath once a year, are you interested?"
Zeng Guoxuan thought back to the village girls in the village on the road, and hurriedly grinned and foamed, and said with no interest: "Excuse me, excuse me, even if Lao Tzu solves it himself, those girls are worthy of the Black Cloud Empire, they are all dirty and black, and they are not interested." ”
Far away, a team of more than 100 people in dark green armor appeared, and the horses under their seats were also pitch black, with the silver-white knight's spear in their hands, the whole body gave people such a strange feeling. They stood on the spot like stone pillars, and even the horses didn't move a little.
General Li, who had the best eyesight among the generals, found the group of knights and hurriedly reported it, Yang Tian raised his eyes and looked at it, and hurriedly ran towards Wen Yuan, shouting loudly: "Dashuai, Dashuai, there is an enemy situation in front." ”
Wen Yuan, who was bowing his head and pondering, raised his head violently, stared at him for a while, and snorted at Yang Tian fiercely: "But there are more than a hundred people, no more than one hundred and fifty at most, what's so surprising? There are three hundred people in the front army, kill them." ”
The cavalry brigade of the Western Continent cheered and rushed out of the three hundred knights, and one of the guys in the lead shouted: "Brothers, you can't fuck let people look down on you." Always say we're not going to charge the regular cavalry, fuck, let them see how good we are this time. The people in his words obviously meant the army of the Celestial Empire.
Sure enough, three hundred cavalry from the Western Continent, which was originally suitable for guerrilla cavalry shooting, formed an irregular phalanx and quickly rushed towards those green-armored knights ten miles away. General Bai, who specializes in cavalry operations in Yang Tian's brigade, slapped his forehead sharply and let out a weak groan: "They are idiots, wearing light leather armor and charging head-on with the other party's heavy armored knights, fuck, they are worthy of being barbarians from the Western Continent, a group of idiots." ”
Yang Tian snorted violently, kicked him off the horse fiercely, and scolded: "Fuck, Uncle Lao Tzu is also from the Western Continent, is Lao Tzu also an idiot and a barbarian?" General Bai knew that he had lost his mouth, and he quickly climbed onto the horse.
The knights in green armor suddenly launched, and the horses under the driving seats scattered in all directions, forming a loose and staggered formation, and rushed towards the murderous cavalry, the snow-white silver knights' spears cut an afterimage in the air, and a bloody hole appeared in the necks of the three hundred cavalrymen almost at the same time, and the corpses were lifted high. The knights reined in at the same time, sneered, and retreated like a fly.
Wen Yuan snorted coldly, his face was unhappy, and the face of the cavalry commander of the Western Continent was extremely pale, and he withered on the spot. Yang Tian shook his head and applauded loudly: "I heard that the bullshit royal family of the Black Cloud Empire has five legions directly under it, I don't know which way the boss is here?" But it seems that their five major legions have been wiped out by us, right? The rest is ......"
Van Ster stood on the ruins, listened to the report of the reconnaissance detachment that rushed back overnight, rewarded this team of more than 100 knights with great satisfaction, and said proudly: "Or our 'degenerate' legion is the strongest, what bullshit 'Shenghua', 'Bloody Night' and what 'nightmare', aren't they all killed by others now?"
Van Sturt gave a loud order, and the eight million troops near Yanjing pulled out their camps at the same time and quickly retreated to the rear, all the materials that could be used were taken away, and the remaining hundreds of thousands of people in Yanjing were also forcibly taken away, and the army slowly retreated to the mountain range at the junction of the Black Cloud Continent and another continent.
Van St's order was this: "All the great lords along the way must give up all the surplus grain and grass, and it is forbidden to leave anything that may be used by the aliens." He was very satisfied with his decision, after all, the Celestial Empire army was a labor expedition, as long as he controlled the grain and grass, could the other party still fight?
At the same moment, Wen Yuan had already ordered: "All front troops, speed up the march, the other party is not far from us...... Yang Dudu, what's the place ahead...... You're the only one of us who's been this far away, right?"
Yang Tian thought for a while and said: "It seems to be their Yanjing, I also fired a lot of artillery at their Yanjing a few years ago, but unfortunately there is no way to capture it if the troops are not enough, otherwise the war will be over." "He was very complacent.
Wen Yuan nodded: "Then, the armies of the major fronts are concentrated in Yanjing, and from the perspective of common sense, it is impossible for their emperor to be in Yanjing...... Yang Dudu, you can get the opportunity to bombard their Yanjing, that's luck, not the chance to really rely on the art of war. War, the most important thing is to carefully calculate every decision, and luck alone cannot be won. ”
Yang Tian modestly listened to Wen Yuan's opinion, and was afraid that Wen Yuan would continue to preach at length, so he hurriedly jumped back into his queue and avoided it from a distance. A large number of scouts in the front army were sent out, and in order to prevent encountering the opponent's elite cavalry team, each scout team was kept at about 500 people.
The news kept coming: "The enemy Yanjing is already in ruins. ”
"There are no traces in Yanjing. "No enemy troops were found, and they are moving forward. "Traces of the march of a large army were found, and the direction was east. "I found the other party's palace legion, the number of which was about 100,000 people, and there were many civilians mixed in it. ”
Then, after that, there was no news, and the scout party that was tightly staring at the tail of Van Ster was dumpled by the knights of the 'Fallen' Legion, and after killing a dozen of the 'Fallen' knights, it was cut into meat sauce, and its head was raised high by the Black Cloud Soldiers with wooden sticks and stuck in the ground.
And Van Ster's heart is not comfortable now, he is keenly aware of the strength of the Celestial Empire's army, those ordinary scouts can actually face ten times their 'degenerate' knights, and can kill more than a dozen of their own subordinates. The fighting spirit and tactical qualities they exuded were also unfound in the enemies they had encountered before. Looking at the war knives presented by his subordinates and captured from the hands of the Celestial Empire Scout Brigade, Van Ster had to exclaim: "Such an enemy is something we can't resist now...... Fuck, our current soldiers, the armor simply can't resist such a well-crafted sword. ”
Tunggulas reached out and took the shiny war knife, and gently danced a few knife flowers, cutting the upper body armor of a small soldier next to him into pieces, and then looking at the blade without the slightest gap, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Fuck, we have to speed up our march, if we get entangled in them, the soldiers can't fight against them with their current equipment." ”
Van Ster urged loudly: "Inform all the generals, the soldiers hurry up, as long as they can reach the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass, the empire has built a supply castle there, new armor, weapons and horses are waiting for us, we must hurry up, hurry, hurry, hurry......"
Tunggulas and his men began to make their rounds around, constantly yelling, "Fuck, hurry up." Do you have to wait for the aliens to come and chop you to pieces? Hurry, hurry...... Let's work hard, we still have twenty days to go, and we can get new equipment. ”
Two days later, Wen Yuan's Chinese army, Yang Tian's army, and the men and horses led by Qiong Daotian arrived at the place where the scout brigade had been eliminated, and five hundred and seventy heads were raised high on wooden poles, and their war horses were stacked below. Qiong Daotian stroked the pattern on his spear, and cursed in a low voice: "Fuck, these bastards, just kill people, and don't let go of the war horses? ”
Wen Yuan snorted coldly: "Are they Liwei, do they want us to be wiped out without leaving a horse...... Ben Shuai wants to see who destroys whom...... Yang Dudu, the territory of the Duke of Cress you are talking about should be the front, right?"
Yang Tian nodded and said, "That's right, the territory of that old guy from Kress is in the northeast of the Black Cloud Continent, and if the Black Cloud army wants to retreat towards another continent, it must pass through his territory...... However, Kress doesn't have the strength to leave the Black Cloud Army behind, and his so-called elite soldiers can be bounced to death with a single finger. ”
Wen Yuan smiled: "That's good, at least we have a place to supply food and grass, isn't it?How are you doing with Kress's son? Don't you want Kress to play tricks on us when we fight." ”
Yang Tian licked his lips and said, "Impossible, that old guy is still dreaming of being the founding monarch of the Kress Empire." I broke up his hundreds of thousands of horses and assigned them to the defense line of the 'Wild Horse Plains'. His son also found a few beauties to accompany him in the 'Heavenly City', and he was not afraid that he would dare to have different intentions. ”
Wen Yuan nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "That's good, that's good, which of you will lead a light cavalry to pursue them first? I can't let them feel better, and also buy the brigade a little time to catch up with them." Now they are about two to three days ahead, and we would be too passive to follow them like this. ”
Qiong Daotian lifted his spear, showed a murderous look on his face, and said viciously: "Commander, I'll go, I want to see how much combat power the current Black Cloud Legion still has." It's enough to give me 100,000 elite light horses, and with you behind, I'm not afraid of being surrounded by them. ”
If there is no tone, there is no farewell ceremony, etc., with enough arrows and godmothers, Qiong Daotian led 100,000 light horsemen to set off. Yang Tian looked in the direction he had passed, feeling a little uneasy in his heart. Zeng Guoxuan secretly muttered behind his back: "Fuck, the city we had last time was over there, don't make a mess......"
××××××××××××××××××××××××
The armies of the Celestial Empire converged in the rear, and then accelerated after the trails in the wilderness. The light cavalry led by Qiong Daotian hurried desperately all day and night, and only curled up a little under the belly of the horses to rest for one or two hours every day. Along the way, there were rotten and stinky corpses everywhere, or piles of broken bones, many villages were destroyed, and even those cities were rarely able to survive, and the losses brought by the undead army to the Black Cloud Empire were too great.
In order to avoid risks, Qiong Daotian's horse team did not approach the cities where there were still people, and often roared past those small villages, and the villagers showed curiosity in the eyes of these cavalrymen who were obviously not their own country's armor, and then suddenly realized that they showed bitter hatred.
Qiong Daotian sighed secretly: "Even if you really conquer these three continents completely in the end, it is really a troublesome thing to conquer the hearts of these ordinary people...... Fuck, what's the matter with me? It's Yang Tian and the others who should have a headache, right? Anyway, Lao Tzu's fiefdom isn't here, damn it......"
After chasing for two days, Qiong Daotian encountered something that surprised them, a huge manor came out of thick black smoke, and there were gorgeously dressed corpses everywhere, which could be seen to be of good material, but even if there was not even a single button left on the corpse, it was estimated that most of the buttons of those precious stones or gold and silver had been taken away. There were still some small piles of grain and grass scattered on the ground, and some people with indifferent faces and ragged clothes stood outside the fire to watch the excitement, without the slightest intention of fighting the fire.
Qiong Daotian reacted instantly: "Fuck, the Black Cloud Legion is in Qingye, and there is no food or grass left for us...... I don't know which big nobleman is unlucky, and if he refuses to give up his grain and grass, he will die, right? Brothers, hurry up, and see the situation, their troops have just passed. ”
The speed of 100,000 light horsemen accelerated, and the sound of horses' hooves resounded throughout the field, and after chasing for less than half an hour, a group of scattered black cloud soldiers appeared in Qiong Daotian's field of vision, which was about 200,000 people, and there were a lot of grain and grass carts and other baggage in the queue, and some carriages kept soldiers going up and down, and there was a terrible woman's howl inside.
A faint golden air flow appeared on Qiong Daotian's body again, and soon, those air currents turned into a rapid storm, and the dense fighting qi wrapped the whole person, and he gave a dull order: "Kill, disperse them." "One hundred thousand sabers were raised, and Qiong Daotian rushed out first.
In just two miles of impact, where the divine power exploded, Qiong Daotian alone picked up more than a dozen fully loaded grain and grass carts, and what was flying all over the sky was Huang Chengcheng millet and wheat, and then a little blood splashed out. With a sharp sound of breaking the air, 100,000 sharp arrows slashed through the air, and tens of thousands of black cloud soldiers fell to the ground like hedgehogs, and blood immediately stained a large piece on this huge canvas.
Qiong Daotian kept shouting loudly in the official dialect of Black Cloud: "Those who stand in the way die, those who stand in my way die...... The cavalry behind him also repeated these short syllables in the same way, and the sabers in their hands continued to sweep and slash, cutting the black cloud soldiers who had discarded the weapons in their hands on the grain and grass carts to the point of blood splashing and rolling heads.
Soon, these soldiers behind the palace abandoned the carriage they were protecting, and desperately fled forward, since the person who blocked Qiong Daotian must die, then don't block him. Anyway, Generalissimo Van Sturt also has an order, don't be a force when you encounter the Celestial Empire soldiers, after all, their equipment is much better than their own, isn't it?
In this way, Qiong Daotian chased after these defeated soldiers, caught up with their brigade, and then stabbed them fiercely, and even the tired Black Cloud soldiers who were in a hurry did not react at all, and they were killed and turned over on their backs. By the time the knights of the 'Fallen' Legion heard the news, Qiong Daotian had already led people away.
The knights of the 'Fallen' Legion shouted angrily at the attacked soldiers, supervised them to reorganize their ranks, abandoned the wounded soldiers, and quickly followed the ranks before they rushed to the front of the Chinese army.
But as soon as they left, Qiong Daotian returned, and still stirred up the rear army of the Black Cloud Legion, and the angry Van Ster personally brought people over to support, but only saw the tail of the last horse of Qiong Daotian's cavalry constantly dangling in the distance.
In this way, Qiong Daotian continued to harass along the way, that is, he did not confront the elite knights of Van Sturt, and he forcibly slowed down the speed of the entire Black Cloud Army. The furious Van Sted did not dare to relax his vigilance at all, God knows whether it was a large army of the Celestial Empire or a small number of cavalry attacking?
The army led by Wen Yuan finally caught up, and along the way, they swept through those cities that were not inhabited, leaving two or three thousand men and horses in each city to garrison, and finally arrived when Qiong Daotian's energy was almost exhausted. Yang Tian sneaked out halfway, and sneaked back three days later, of course, tens of thousands of horses were added to his team, but his subordinates would not expose him, and other generals didn't know about it, so Yang Tian kept the matter down. Otherwise, according to Wen Yuan's temper, if he knew that Yang Tian had left tens of thousands of soldiers behind enemy lines in the most dangerous places, he would have beaten him with dozens of military sticks.
As soon as the black pressed a large area of the Celestial Empire army saw the Van Sturt brigade, they rushed over frantically. Forced to be helpless, Van Ster could only give the most shameless order in the history of the Black Cloud Empire: "Didn't you catch more than a million people along the way? Leave them behind and let them block the knives, fuck, let's hurry into the mountain pass, and it will be safe if we enter." ”
As a result, the Black Cloud soldiers behind the palace pulled out their weapons one after another, slashed at the people around them with a non-lethal slash, making it impossible for them to run fast, and then abandoned these people who were supposed to be protected by them, and fled quickly towards the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass.
The Celestial Empire army hesitated for a moment, they were blocked by these millions of people, but without the order of their superiors, they had no reason to kill them, especially seeing the eyes of these bloody people struggling and begging for mercy, the Celestial Empire soldiers who had not yet filled their chests with murderous aura did not seem to be ready to slaughter them.
But those recruits recruited from another continent were different, they all remembered the hatred when their land was ruled by the Black Cloud Empire, and remembered the scene when they were oppressed by the people of the Black Cloud Empire. If they were to face up to the regular army of the Black Cloud Empire, it was estimated that they would not be opponents, but if they were to slash the bright steel knives at the Black Cloud people who had no ability to resist, this was simply what they were most willing to do.
As a result, the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire in black armor poured into the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass dozens of miles ahead, leaving a large number of people wearing cloth clothes in the middle, and in the rear, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire slowly retreated to rectify, while the two million local troops recruited and trained by the Celestial Empire drew their broadswords and happily killed them.
Have you ever seen the magnificent spectacle of a million human heads flying in the air? The setting sun sprinkled blood-red light on the entire earth from behind the Celestial Empire's army, a million heads with countless blood spots flying in the air, a million faces were filled with negative expressions of disbelief, horror, hatred, pain, despair, humble begging for mercy, and so on, and there were vaguely the last screams of a million people, and the sound of a million blood-stained knives slashing in the air......
The last soldier of the Black Cloud Empire poured into the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass, and the heavy iron gate fell, and Van Sted also breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at the Celestial Empire army in the distance, laughed a few times, and swaggered down the watchtower. What are more than a million ordinary people? As long as they can rely on the Heavenly Danger to destroy the army of the Celestial Empire and recover the Black Cloud Continent in the 'Fallen Soul' Mountain Pass, they will be the greatest heroes of the empire.
Wen Yuan did not order to deal with the recruits who killed indiscriminately without receiving the order, and said lightly: "It's getting late, set up camp, pay attention to patrols, and discuss countermeasures after dawn." ”
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××
There was nothing to say all night, and it wasn't until after dawn that Wen Yuan and the others, who were looking at the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass, gasped and understood why the Black Cloud Empire actually gave up the entire Black Cloud Continent and chose the place of the decisive battle here.
A huge granite mountain range stretches from south to north, facing the Black Cloud Continent, is a cliff as high as thousands of zhang, smooth and there is no place to climb, only the 'Falling Soul' mountain pass there is a natural, wide valley of ten miles, at the mouth of the valley, the Black Cloud Empire in just half a year, I don't know how much manpower has been dispatched, to build a huge city wall.
The high walls, which are at least more than two hundred zhang high, are made of huge granite blocks that are square and round, and above them are towering arrow towers and turrets. There was probably a row of sharp blades protruding from the city wall every few zhang, and there were dense barbs on it, completely cutting off the possibility of climbing, and countless sword reflections flashed from the city. In the middle of the city wall, the small black holes were obviously the muzzles and arrows opened for the soldiers inside the city wall.
According to a rough estimate, the thickness of the city wall is at least more than three hundred zhang, and there are countless fortifications on it, which is enough to start a bloody battle of hundreds of thousands of people on it, of course, the Black Cloud Empire, which occupies the advantage of fortifications, will definitely become the victor.
Wen Yuan sighed: "I finally understand why they don't even want the land they made their fortune in, instead of asking a ravaged continent to increase their burden, it is better to completely abandon it, and then destroy us and regain it." ”
Yang Tian had a bitter face: "Damn, our highest ladder is only fifty zhang, and the fucking city wall is at least two hundred zhang, so there is no way to climb it at all...... I'm afraid all of our ZHA drugs can't open a hole yet. ”
Qiong Daotian was also dumbfounded, and said dryly: "The people of the Black Cloud Empire are crazy, I know that you are the last line of defense, but you don't need to exaggerate like this, right? Damn, with such a few million people, how can it be possible to break through such a city wall?"
An Overseer with a little military knowledge lamented, "It's good that we have that guy named Kress to supply food and grass, otherwise we wouldn't have had to fight at all, and in less than half a year we would all starve to death......"
Long Feng also shook his head speechlessly: "Fuck, this city wall is simply perverted, damn, if you want me to command the attack on such a city wall, it would be almost the same as giving me a planetary-level main gun." With the current conditions, it's clear that there is no way. ”
Zeng Guoxuan nagged weakly beside him: "Boss, let's try it and see if we can blow it down with a sneeze, so we don't have to fight." There's no way around it...... "Nobody paid attention to him.
In the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass, Van Sted watched with confidence as his soldiers began to receive new armor and weapons, and the hot food with incense also opened, and Van St laughed proudly. He also didn't expect that the so-called fortress of the empire's supply would be such a lovely and majestic city, and it would be absolutely impossible for foreigners to conquer it.
