Chapter 61: Absurdity
Yang Tian, who barely slept for a while, and then forcibly cheered up and went to the head of the city, looked at the dense camp of the Black Cloud Empire in the distance, and asked a little puzzled: "Strange, where is their blood-red knight team?" When they charged just now, it seemed that they suddenly appeared. Could it be that they are near us?"
General Yue, who had a haggard face and a hoarse voice, nodded with an ugly face and said, "These miscellaneous pieces of black clouds, it seems that the most elite troops have been placed near us, and they want to sneak attack our field troops or reinforcements. However, it seems that we have no reinforcements, and we will not go out of the city in vain to fight, so let them cool down in the woods. His finger tapped to a dense forest three miles away.
"Well, well, your judgment is that they might have hidden the cavalry team there?" Yang Tian asked with a tight frown.
General Yue nodded firmly and said: "In the early morning, the cavalry team encountered by the pursuing 'Tiger Wolf Army' appeared from that direction, and it was only possible to be there, and they could only pose a threat to us and the reinforcements at the same time if they hid there, and that was the most convenient place to attack." ”
Long Feng laughed: "General Yue, you are too tired, it seems that they will not launch a new attack for a while, you can rest and rest, come on, help General Yue go down and rest." General Yue, who had been forcibly holding up all day, smiled reluctantly, his head drooped, and let a few soldiers support him down.
Yang Tian strode to the artillery team on the city wall, and asked viciously, "How many shells do you have left?" A squad leader of the artillery team hurriedly saluted and replied, "Report to General Yang, we still have a total of three hundred and seventy-three shells." ”
Yang Tian and Long Feng showed a cruel smile when they faced each other, and Yang Tian ordered: "That's it, leave a whole number, leave a hundred shells, and let Lao Tzu smash the rest into that woods." You estimate that if there were 60,000 cavalry hidden in that woods, the most likely place would they be concentrated would be...... Hehe, don't give Lao Tzu face, just smash it inside. ”
The artillerymen did not say a word, and began to measure the distance and height difference between the woods and the head of the city with some rudimentary triangulation, and the artillery captain shouted the order: "From the center of the woods, it is densely covered, and the artillery fire extends in the direction of the city wall." Long Feng nodded with satisfaction, if the other party's generals want to survey the enemy's situation, they must be close to the direction of the city wall, the artillery fire starts to cover from the center of the woods, all the way to the direction near the city wall, it is very likely that they will try their luck and kill a few of the other party's senior generals.
Near noon, a large number of soldiers began to prepare for the meal in the camp of the Black Cloud Empire, and they arrived at the gate of the camp with their rice bowls with great interest, pointing at the 'Red Rock' City, without caring about the impact that the large number of corpses on the opposite side might have on their appetite.
In the woods, the commander of the 'Bloody Night' and a group of high-ranking generals placed a comfortable long table under a huge ancient tree, which was filled with exquisite wine and food, and the feminine commander smiled and said, "Everyone let go of their appetites, eat and drink well before they have the energy to fight." Although there were some setbacks yesterday and today, it is normal, our 'Bloody Night' performance is still very good, wait for lunch, and give the order to the main battalion in the rear, asking them to attack with all their might, since 400,000 soldiers can't conquer 'Red Rock' City, then it's good to invest 800,000 at a time, anyway, those soldiers are idle and idle, let them feel the real bloody battlefield first, it's also a good thing for them. ”
A group of high-ranking generals were loudly agreeing with their commander's opinion, and suddenly there was a whistling sound in the sky, and the high-ranking knights of the 'Bloody Night', who had not been tested by artillery fire, stood up one after another, not knowing what was happening. Twenty huge fires suddenly exploded in the depths of the woods, and the knights of the 'Blood Night' who were munching on barbecue meat did not have time to speak, and were blown into the sky by the powerful blast current, and then, another batch of fire balls were tightly pressed down, and the knights in blood-red armor were plated with a layer of red from the flesh and blood of their companions.
The commander was shocked and shouted wildly: "Everyone, disperse, disperse, the artillery of the Celestial Empire, all for me." As he was shouting, the extended fire arrived, and a fireball landed not far from him. This commander, who had a feminine complexion and a pure resemblance to a professional called 'father-in-law', suddenly burst out with a fierce and violent fighting spirit on his body, and blasted away the shock wave of this high-violence bomb with a hard punch, and gave a sudden order with a stiff face: "All retreat, retreat, and join the battalion." ”
The knights of the 'Bloody Night' legion, who had been attacked by the surprise, hurriedly mounted their horses and fled to the main camp in the rear of the flank. From time to time, a small group of unlucky ghosts are sent into the sky by bombs falling from the sky, and they get a chance to fulfill in the sky for free. The face of the commander who had changed into a man was extremely ugly, and he raised his hand and struck out two punches, detonating two cannonballs that were still in the air, like a blood-colored lightning bolt swept out of the dense forest and rushed into the safety of the camp.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the battalion, he had already regained his feminine and strange virtues, and ordered to the commander of the battalion: "Dear general, haven't I already told the herald to send troops to continue the attack? What are you doing?" The supreme commander of the tall battalion, dressed in black iron armor, did not dare to speak, and screamed: "Don't eat, hurry, hurry, hurry, go, go...... Attack the city of 'Red Rock', send me a million horses, a million, rush over, exhaust them, exhaust them......"
The ghostly and swift knights of the 'Blood Night' gathered to count the manpower and check the casualties on the flat ground of the camp. This artillery raid caused this powerful army to lose 5,000 people, and more than 10,000 people were seriously and lightly wounded.
At the head of the city, Yang Tian and a few boys slapped their thighs and laughed wildly, and Yang Tian couldn't breathe: "Fuck, it's really like a group of red ants, they were doused with boiling water, and they ran out like this, but unfortunately, I don't know how many important people were killed." ”
While talking and laughing, several sons and brothers suddenly collapsed to the ground with weak legs and feet, and stammered: "Boss, the red ants and a few have not died, and the black ants have come out...... You continue to be busy, let's go down and take a rest, cut for a night, no, no. "Even crawling, a few sons and brothers fled for their lives.
From four directions, a million dense siege brigades slowly walked towards the 'Red Rock' city. The black iron armor and weapons collided slightly with each other, making a crisp metal sound and sparks that made people's scalps tingle, more than two hundred rushing vehicles and more than three hundred heavy catapults, which made the battle-hardened 'Tiger Wolf Army' soldiers on the city wall change their faces, and several middle-level generals smiled bitterly: "If it is the Holy Capital City, they are not afraid of ten times more people, but this small city, how can it be ......?"
Yang Tian shook his head helplessly, Long Feng flicked his fingers lightly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Brother, I can have ten thousand enemies at most, but one million people, I can't help it, I'm ready to abandon the city and escape." ”
Yang Tian had a bitter face: "Oh my God, they have surrounded the city, and even the rats can't get out, where are we going? If not, it would be okay to give me 10,000 shells now. ”
The artillery captain said very seriously: "General, our gun barrels can fire a maximum of 100 shells in a row, and 10,000 shells need 100 barrels, and we don't have so many reserves." ”
The old ghost of the black sky who kept walking back and forth next to him shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity, it's a pity, Lao Tzu doesn't want to have another catastrophe for these little soldiers." Boys, get ready to run away, you can't win, you can always run away. ”
The Black Cloud soldiers slowly approached to a distance of less than a mile, but the speed of their advance slowed down significantly, there were too many people, and the army in front was already crowded and unable to take a step, and in a few places, a few unlucky soldiers were pushed to the ground, and then countless big feet stepped on it, trampled into flesh. They tripped over a few soldiers and screamed and rallied closely with the earth, everything reminded Long Feng of what he had seen in historical films, an activity called 'pilgrimage' in the ancient earth era.
As the thought turned, the Black Cloud soldiers finally reorganized their formation under the coercion of hundreds of generals, rearranged into a relatively loose and small square formation, half of the men and horses retreated to give way to the battlefield, and half of the men and horses approached to fifty zhang with the siege equipment, ready to start another interactive activity of killing and being killed.
A few bold senior generals rode their horses to supervise the formation, and just as they were shouting to the soldiers, the cold arrows fired by General Li had already taken their lives. Only a very good general slashed the arrow with a backhand, but he was shot through the right chest and fell to the ground screaming. The morale of the Black Cloud army was stunned, and the Celestial Empire army at the head of the city cheered.
Genu and Feng Ling'er approached Yang Tian, no matter what, even if all the people in the city died, they always had to ensure Yang Tian's life. Gnu believed that if Yang Tian died, there would be no hope for his clansmen, and Long Feng, an 'evil' mage, would definitely not pay attention to him. Feng Ling'er is keenly aware of the strange relationship between Long Feng and Yang Tian, if Yang Tian hangs up, Long Feng will definitely run as fast as he can and leave himself behind, then there will be no chance to solve the ** problem of his own people.
Yang Tian lazily ordered: "Shoot, shoot, shoot a few and shoot a few, fuck, if only there were 10,000 artillery pieces." Eh, plus a million shells, that's even better. ”
Twenty thousand archers, one hundred giant repeaters, twenty artillery pieces - only a hundred shells left, and a hundred catapults began a frenzied firing campaign, these long-range weapons were concentrated in three directions, and the northern wall had to rely on the bodies of soldiers to plug the gap.
At the same time as the rain of arrows, stone rain, and cannonballs just came out, the black cloud soldiers roared and began to charge in stride, and the earth was instantly occupied by black, from the city wall of 'Red Rock' to the ground two miles away, all of them were black armor reflecting the cold brilliance, the green grass was trampled cleanly, the yellow dust floated and churned in the space below the soldier's waist, and the rumbling footsteps made the city wall shake slightly.
The first batch of soldiers climbed the ladder desperately, and then, under the crazy chopping of the soldiers of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army', the first batch of more than 3,000 heads fell down with blood. Jars of boiling oil were poured frantically, followed by torches that brought death.
Yang Tian groaned weakly again: "Damn, I knew that in the Celestial Empire, Lao Tzu paid for two more boats of oil to come over, and now it is a can of oil that has forced me to death as a hero." ”
Without time to pay attention to the complaints of the commander, the generals of the Celestial Empire had already begun to devote themselves to the act of commanding and fighting in person with heavy faces. The Qiong family's army rested a little, and after gnawing on two rice balls, they had already arranged the last defensive formation inside the city wall, if the other party rushed in, they would fight, anyway, they couldn't let them go to the city in vain.
Under the first impact of the rushing car, several sections of the city wall of low mass had already groaned, and the foundation of the foundation had been offset by a distance of more than a foot, and if there was another impact, these sections of the wall would surely collapse. Fortunately, the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire were too dense, and after the chariots hit the first time, there was no way to retreat and hit again, so they could only let the soldiers start to storm the city walls with the help of their height, and they could only let the soldiers of the Celestial Empire happily pour boiling oil down and burn them clean.
The entire city wall was trembling, and from time to time, the black cloud soldiers were knocked into the city wall by the crowd behind them, and they died tragically without saying a word. The Black Cloud soldiers had piled up a thick, dense cushion of human flesh under the city walls, and the iron armor on many of the soldiers in the front row had been deformed, and the deformed iron armor mercilessly turned the muscles and bones of their master into a strange twisted state.
The battle situation was stalemate, and the soldiers of the Celestial Empire watched with a little cry and laughter as the enemy who had an absolute advantage fell into such an embarrassing situation. The soldiers in the front row could not effectively engage in the battle, many of the ladders were simply crushed and collapsed by their own people, and a boulder thrown by a catapult could often cause hundreds of black cloud soldiers to be killed or wounded.
Yang Tian looked at the following scene maliciously, especially when he saw that a group of archers more than a dozen zhang away couldn't open their bows and release arrows because they were too squeezed, he couldn't help but point at the group of thousands of archers and laughed wildly. And the Celestial Empire archers around him thought that this was his order, and tens of thousands of crossbow arrows immediately poured into the direction that Yang Tian was pointing at. The body that had lost its life was unable to fall due to the pressure around it, and slowly moved with the crowd around it.
In the camp of the Black Cloud Empire, the senior generals of the 'Blood Night' watched this scene in amazement, and the supreme commander of the battalion issued an order for the soldiers to evacuate. The most absurd scene appeared, the herald could not squeeze into the crowd to find the commander of the battle in front of the small boat in the vast sea. The herald was so anxious that he waved his hand again and again, and the reserve, who had misunderstood the meaning, charged frantically under the command of the commander.
The commander of the battalion watched this scene in despair, and almost wanted to draw his sword and commit suicide in the eyes of the commander of the 'Blood Night' who laughed wildly and angrily, and stammered to explain: "My lord, my lord, they are all new soldiers, and these mistakes are forgivable. ”
Several high-ranking generals of the 'Bloody Night' knew that they shouldn't, but they couldn't help but laugh wildly: "A million troops besieged such a small city, and they actually threw themselves into it at the same time...... Really, really......"
The commander of the 'Bloody Night' shook his head helplessly and ordered: "100,000 people, go up and give the order, let the soldiers in the back row retreat, and at the same time send the order to retreat in the front round." ”
There were no soldiers in the black cloud who could climb the walls of the 'Red Rock' city, and many soldiers in the front row had already begun to cry, shouting loudly: "Brothers, please, stand back, stand back......" Their voices were really no one could hear clearly in the earth-shattering roar, especially when blood slowly gushed out from their mouths, and they lost their strength even more.
The soldiers of the 'Celestial Empire' looked at the enemy soldiers below three feet in confusion, now the enemy can't come up, and the big knives in their hands can't reach these immobile enemies. The soldiers on both sides stared at each other blankly, only the archers of the Celestial Empire took aim easily, one by one, basically achieving the effect of 'each crossbow arrow destroys an enemy', and happily shot out all the crossbow arrows they were equipped. Their only trouble was to distinguish the dead with crossbow arrows on their heads in the crowd below, and they couldn't afford to waste their arrows.
Yang Tian had a quick move, and he had already urgently ordered all the 'thorn dragon spears' against the cavalry to be carried to the head of the city. The 20,000 three-zhang long 'Thorn Dragon Lances' were firmly tied together in groups of two, and the increased length of the 'Thorn Dragon Lance' was densely stabbed under the cooperation of the soldiers, and each shot could take the lives of two to three enemy soldiers.
The catapult shooters snickered, and the boulders were carried up quickly, and then shot at the black cloud soldiers under the city walls, and the black cloud soldiers who were in the area where the boulders landed let out a desperate wail, watching as the shadow of the boulder enveloped them and turned them into a puddle of flesh and blood. And the places they vacated were immediately filled by a lot of soldiers who couldn't help themselves.
The absurd siege lasted for an hour, and the anxious heralds finally gave the order to the busy soldiers, and they finally began to retreat slowly. After wasting more than an hour, the Black Cloud soldiers, who had basically consumed all their physical strength, returned to the camp in despair. They left behind more than 200,000 corpses, many of whom did not die at the hands of the soldiers of the Celestial Empire.
The camp was busy, the soldiers were busy repairing and resting, and those who were watching the battle also laid down their weapons and began to help their comrades pack up their weapons and armor and organize the siege equipment. The knights of the 'Bloody Night' ran back and forth at the gates of the camp to prevent possible surprise attacks in the city.
This siege only caused negligible losses to the Celestial Empire army in the initial stage, and then it was a complete massacre without resistance at all.
Just when the camp of the Black Cloud Empire was busy and the soldiers were preparing to take over the shift with the sentry, a Celestial Empire cavalry commander who was hiding in the forest not far away, holding his belly that hurt from a smile, and finally turned over from the ground, gave the signal to attack. Hundreds of cavalry squads roared from all directions and began to harass the main camp of the Black Cloud Empire.
The sentries who had relaxed their vigilance and were ready to take over the shift were sent away by the accurate bows and arrows of the cavalry archers, and the soldiers who had not yet recovered from the chaos stood on the spot, and their heads were immediately cut off by the whistling cavalry squad. One by one, the black oil canisters were lit and then thrown towards the tents of the Black Cloud Empire, and the flames rose in all directions, and the soldiers who had just laid down and were ready to rest were either swept into the fire, or their heads fell to the ground just when they showed their heads to look at the wind.
The harassed cavalry squad did not fall in love, and after throwing away the oil cans they carried, they randomly slashed to death a few unlucky ghosts, and then roared away. Nearly 2,000 soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire died in the raid, and to make matters worse, more than 300 fireheads flourished in the sea breeze.
The knights of the 'Blood Night' roared angrily and prepared to pursue, Yang Tian had already laughed evilly and asked people to beat the war drums on the head of the city, and the roaring war drums matched the shouts of the soldiers of the 'Tiger Wolf Army', so that the knights of the 'Blood Night' nervously began to concentrate on the formation to prevent a possible surprise attack on the 'Red Rock' City.
For a long time, more than 100 of the raids were disturbed, but the cavalry squad of 30,000 or 40,000 people had long since disappeared, Yang Tiancai slowly danced at the 'Blood Night' brigade in the distance, took a beard, and blew a few strange sounds, and a group of boys who came up to the city wall to see the excitement laughed wildly, and from time to time there were some inexplicable actions.
The men and horses of the 'Bloody Night' team all changed their faces with anger, and their eyes looked at the small low walls of the 'Red Rock' City with anger in their eyes. Yang Tian pretended to sigh at the head of the city: "Really, more than two million people can't conquer such a small city as ours, and their governors should be from the palace to thank the world." ”
Zeng Guoxuan, who was helped by several people to climb up to the top of the city, laughed evilly: "Boss, they also have the ability to bully Lao Tzu, and when they meet you, aren't they just deflated......?"
Yang Tianwei laughed: "Brother, I found you a good doctor, and I promise to make you very comfortable." ”
The old ghost of the black sky walked up without hesitation, and said with a smile: "That's it, that's it, Lao Tzu is out of the horse, and I guarantee that you will get up alive and jump up immediately, and you can wear holes on your bodies again." ”
A miserable cry resounded through the ...... of the head of the 'Red Rock';
