No one expected this to be the result, for two months, neither the Celestial Empire nor the Black Cloud Empire sent a single soldier for two months. With the help of Grand Duke Kresss, the Celestial Empire army built countless earthen forts thirty miles away from the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass, and the continuous earthen forts stretched out densely, and countless Celestial Empire soldiers were carrying out regular training inside.

In his conception, the Celestial Empire's army must cross the entire Black Cloud Continent to supply food, and he can slowly wait for the Celestial Empire's tens of millions of people to collapse after the food is exhausted, so why bother to fight them to the death?

But in fact, the Celestial Empire has no such worries, Kress has begun to form his own Cress Kingdom, relying on the support of the Celestial Empire's army, he has taken his private army to annex the lords of several neighboring Black Cloud Empires, and firmly grasps one-third of the land of the Black Cloud Continent, and the natural grain and grass and all the necessary materials are in an endless supply. Only Van Sted was still dreaming on top of the tower.

The trouble for the Celestial Empire's military is that there is no good way to deal with the perverted wall of the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass. After thinking about it for a long time, Wen Yuan could only come up with a way, the Celestial Empire army that stayed in the rear trained a little more city defense troops, and then asked the fleet to put them directly into the rear of the Black Cloud Empire from the sea, and make trouble for them in the rear. And Wen Yuan also issued an order, asking the rear to quickly make a large number of zha medicine and cannonballs to come up, such a city wall, and only this way can be dealt with.

It was another morning, Wen Yuan stood on the earthen wall of the earthen fort, frowning and looking at the black city wall thirty miles away, Qiong Daotian led a few people to turn the huge stone back and forth nearby to boil his strength, although it was a stalemate now, but he couldn't throw away the kung fu on his body.

At this moment, hearing the terrible trombone sound in Yang Tian's camp, about 200,000 people lined up neatly out of the gate of the earthen fort, and the dust was full of dust towards the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass. In front of the phalanx, there was Gnu, who was holding a super-large weapon and wearing heavy armor, and more than two hundred members of the subordinate stormtroopers, as for Yang Tian and Long Feng, the two of them rode alone and followed behind more than ten zhang, obviously looking lively.

Wen Yuan shouted violently: "Yang Dudu, Yang Dudu?" But the distance was too far, it seemed impossible for Yang Tian to hear his greeting, and even, even if Yang Tian heard it, he wouldn't bother with him, right? Qiong Daotian was also dumbfounded and held up a thousand-pound stone guy, and muttered in his mouth: "I know you are very stuffy, but there is no need to ask the soldiers to send them to death." Aren't you waiting for the ZHA medicine and shells from the rear to come over?"

Wen Yuan shook his head, suddenly laughed again, and muttered: "You kid is still the same lack of morality, why are all 200,000 people conscripted recruits......? Fuck, it's okay, the morale of the soldiers is running out anyway, so it's good to get a little bit bigger every day. ”

He turned his head sharply and instructed the generals behind him: "Mobilize two hundred artillery pieces to follow the brigade, fire ten shells from each artillery and then retreat, concentrate the fire to bombard a little, and I will see how strong their walls are." ”

The team of men and horses marched quickly, and it took only two hours to reach the place less than a mile in front of the 'Falling Soul' mountain pass, and there were already sparse arrows on the city wall, but the strength was not very strong, Yang Tian ordered: "Rest on the spot, damn, drink some water, eat some dry food, and see if they can come out." ”

The soldiers were already frightened, and they ran over without carrying any siege equipment, looking at the unspeakably high city wall in front of them, as well as the muzzles and arrows that were divided into three layers inside the city wall, only 200,000 people, even if the Black Cloud Army did not resist, they would be exhausted to death if they climbed up the ladder.

Gnu was already yelling at the people in the city: "Fuck, a big old man came out of there to answer, don't hide in the city and shiver like a group of girls who can't open their legs...... Fuck, let's have a fun time with Lao Tzu......" After speaking, he deliberately shook off the dark iron armor on his body, and showed off the exaggerated muscles on his body like a big steamed bun, and then a punch was sent into the air, and there was a 'crackling' sound in the air.

Yang Tian's subordinate troops roared, especially the members of the more than 200 stormtroopers, what kind of good birds are they? Fighting and scolding people on the streets of Shengjing all day long, they immediately poured out the greetings of the Celestial Empire that they had mastered in the official dialect of Heiyun, although the level of translation was not high, and the words were a little unsatisfactory, but the meaning that they wanted to have some kind of super friendship ** relationship with the old mother of Van Ster was still clear.

Including Gnu, this group of big men had enough energy, and their voices resounded through the sky, enough for the Black Cloud soldiers who were more than two hundred zhang high and a mile away to hear these beautiful words. Although the soldiers at the head of the city did not dare to laugh because of the relationship with Van St, the soldiers stationed inside the city walls had already laughed.

Van Sted's face turned pale, and he raised his eyes to look at it, seeing that there was no movement in the Celestial Empire camp in the distance, and finally showed a cold smile: "Send troops, haven't the knights of the 'Dark Soul' been clamoring to avenge their commander? Send them out, if the 90,000 cavalry can't deal with these infantry, they don't have to be embarrassed in the empire." The generals of the several 'degenerate' legions next to him comprehended: "If the strength of this last full subordinate legion is weakened, the military of the empire will also be our world, right? Besides, since there is the support of 'them', the combat power of a mere 'dark soul' is nothing." ”

With enough fighting energy in his body, Van Ster let out a huge sound and rushed towards the Celestial Empire team under the city: "You guys, stand back, leave a battlefield, and our warriors will come out to duel with you...... You can see if they are girls......" His last sentence deliberately sent out towards the concentrated 'Dark Soul' legions in the city, making the knights of the 'Dark Soul' feel on fire one by one, and tightly grasped the weapons in their hands.

Yang Tian whispered: "Boss, this is not good, if they dare to come out, they must all be super elite, fuck, just these 200,000 garbage soldiers, aren't they sending side dishes to others?"

Long Feng said indifferently: "It's okay to be dead, anyway, you said that these 200,000 people were not recruited from your territory, and it doesn't matter if they are all dead? It just happens that it can also cause a little trouble for the other governors in the future, isn't it......? Tell the artillery team behind them to fire directly above their city gate to see if they can kill a few of their high-ranking generals. ”

Yang Tian made a gesture, pointed to the middle of the two towers directly above the city gate, and immediately turned his horse's head to supervise the infantry brigade in front of him to slowly retreat, leaving a battlefield more than three miles long.

The 100 zhang wide and impressively thick stainless steel gate of the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass slowly opened upward, and there were thirteen such gates, and then look at the dense arrow ports on both sides of the city gate, I am afraid that the person who wants to rush in is only one dead word.

Yang Tian whistled: "Fuck, aren't they tired of pulling up such a heavy iron door?

Long Feng shook his head: "It's not human power, it's something similar to a magic array, relying on the power of magic crystals to open these iron gates...... Well, I can't imagine that the mages of the Black Cloud Empire are not all idiots, although it is not good to go to war, but there are some good hands at playing these things...... If possible, you'd better be able to solicit some. ”

Yang Tian smiled: "Hehe, do you want to recruit a mage?"

Long Feng flicked his fingers: "Really, maybe, probably...... Eh, seriously, what are you going to do with the future? Are you sure?With that territory, you should be able to achieve your goal without any problems, right?" Five small black fireballs appeared on his fingers, aiming at the Dark Souls army wearing dark gold armor that rushed out of the city gate.

Yang Tian pulled his horse back more than a hundred zhang away, and said with a cheap smile: "This should be no problem, hehe...... It's better to step back, so that I don't have a knife and a gun, and I am injured...... Hey, I said creeps, why don't you fire the cannon?"

The artillery team reacted and opened fire on the top of the wall directly above the city gate, they had already adjusted the azimuth of the gun, as long as they fired. The knights of the 'Dark Soul' had just run out of more than 10,000 people, and two hundred shells exploded above their heads, and the two hundred shells hit almost the same point, and the smoke and dust were everywhere, and large boulders fell downward, smashing the flesh and blood at the city gate, and the huge stones tightly blocked the gate, and the stone pile more than one person high was that the people inside could not get out, and the people outside could not enter.

Yang Tian laughed wildly: "Brothers, come on, they are only 20,000 people outside, slash Lao Tzu hard, fuck ......" Before he finished speaking, he saw that the cheap 200,000 soldiers had already rushed forward. The 20,000 knights of the 'Dark Soul' outside the city gate were not frightened at all, and formed a long queue, rushing towards the 200,000 recruits who were not in the slightest formation.

Gnu roared excitedly, and was about to rush forward with a big sword, but Long Feng had already appeared beside him, two fingers gently pressed on his shoulders, Gnu's huge body suddenly couldn't move at all, Long Feng smiled lightly and said: "You don't need to go up, give these recruits a little lesson, so that they don't think they are invincible in the world." The deeper words did not come out: "Anyway, I deliberately want them to die a few more, if you go up, the 20,000 knights are not enough for you to split alone, and it will have no effect at all." ”

Fortunately, when the knights of the 'Dark Soul' came to the rapid conflict, the middle commanders of the recruits finally thought of the tutorial during the training, and commanded the soldiers to set up long and short spears on the ground at large and small angles, which were more or less arranged into a defensive gun array, and the soldiers with machetes behind them waved the steel knives in their hands and shouted in cheers.

The sound of artillery in the rear rang out again, and one cannon after another blasted towards the city wall above the city gate, and Van Sturt and other senior officers flashed out like dark green lightning before the second round of shells flew, hiding far away in the safe fortifications in the rear, and then turned more than 20 turns inside the city wall, watching the duel between the 20,000 knights and 200,000 infantry of the 'dark spirit' through the narrow muzzle.

The first fountain of blood erupted, and hundreds of knights who had rushed too quickly were raised high by the spears, but the force of their impact also caused the recruits to fall in large pieces. The galloping knights to the left and right turned their horses' heads as if they had just come in this direction, as if an awl had stabbed into the ranks of the recruits.

The recruits who were cheering on both sides watched as the enemy in front of them suddenly turned, and then rushed into the ranks of nearby friendly troops, and before they could react, a dark golden knight had already rushed over, and the scimitar in his hand lightly cut out the partial knife light, and cut his head out.

Yang Tian groaned: "Fuck, it's good that I suddenly remembered to check their combat effectiveness, if it was such a showdown in the future, Lao Tzu's position would have to be loosened by them." Fuck, where is there any combat power to speak of? I still can't compare with the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, and if I fight against the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, how miserable and miserable I want to die. ”

Long Feng understood the meaning of his words, and said lightly: "No one is born a warrior, didn't you slowly become what you are now?

Yang Tian was a little more energetic, and said gloatingly: "Regardless of him, this group of recruits was recruited from the 'Heavenly City', anyway, it is thousands of miles away from my current territory, if they die, it won't affect me, fuck, if they don't fight, we will run away unless they are killed by these 20,000 people." ”

The cannon fire in the rear stopped, and ten shells were fired from each cannon, and there was only a small gap at the top of the wall above the city gate, and the power of the shells was still a little weaker for the walls made of whole boulders. In the battle array, the recruits, who had suddenly become fearless of death because of fear, had frantically accumulated 20,000 knights of the 'dark soul', and the soldiers surrounded them, stabbing them with spears and slashing with machetes. The knights of the 'Dark Soul' are like a boulder, but they have been exploited layer by layer by these flowing recruits.

Many knights with exceptional skill slashed their opponents to death, but the spearman behind him unceremoniously stabbed himself in the lower abdomen...... Yang Tian began to brag again: "Fuck, who said that the heavy armored cavalry can be a single line of ten infantry? Now 20,000 cut 200,000, isn't it just that you haven't won?"

A member of the stormtrooper asked, "Boss, that seems to mean that when you cut ten, if you exceed ten thousand, it will be useless." ”

Yang Tian snorted him: "Damn, do you want to talk more?" But it seems that I am also well-trained, and this kind of garbage can also kill 20,000 elite knights." ”

The so-called 'ants bite the elephant', and the knights of the 'dark soul', who had lost the impact of their horses, could only drag their heavy armor and cut down the recruits as many as ants, and in a while, after killing more than 30,000 recruits, their corpses were also on the ground. At the gate of the city, the knights of the 'dark spirit' who did not rush out let out a roar, if they were present, where would these garbage soldiers have a chance to use themselves? They simply slashed and struck the boulder in front of them with their fists and weapons, in a vain attempt to open a passage, and even some of the knights who were too angry had already left their horses, took off their armor, climbed the stone wall that was as tall as a man, and were ready to rush out for hand-to-hand combat.

Long Fengyin laughed: "Do you want to come out to avenge your companions?" Five small black fireballs that had been playing with in the palm of his hand for a long time flew out of his hand, and gathered into a huge dark purple fireball in the air, and smashed into the stone wall at the city gate, a dazzling light flashed, followed by a huge explosion.

The first iron gate of the 'Fallen Soul' Pass had been slightly distorted by the huge explosive force, and in the passage of the city gate hundreds of feet long, the bones of the thousands of knights of the 'Dark Soul' were gone, and some stump fragments were sprayed onto the bodies of the recruits more than two miles away, making some soldiers who were not very good at heart vomit violently.

Long Feng said lightly: "I'm sorry, I used a little bit of strength." The artillerymen behind him were already speechless with their eyes wide open, and Long Feng's attack seemed to have done a lot more damage than their two thousand shells.

However, before they had time to marvel, those red-eyed 'Dark Soul' knights had already rushed out like a dark golden python, and in an instant rushed to the stunned recruits, and the bright scimitar slashed down.

The first knight who had drawn his scimitar immediately turned his horse's head and rushed at an angle of forty-five degrees, but none of them rushed into the ranks of the recruits, and the knights behind followed him with a slash, and then rushed out diagonally in the other direction. Before the recruits could react, they were about to retreat to form a pocket to wrap around the knights, and they were shocked to find that the knights had pierced the wings of their pockets and rushed from behind.

The first assault cost these recruits 20,000 men. However, as Yang Tian said: "Who is their supreme commander? It seems that his head is not bad, and he can be useful." ”

Those recruits had already dispersed in a team of hundreds of people, allowing the knights of the 'Dark Soul' to rush into the gap of their small team, and then, all the soldiers frantically concentrated in the middle, slashing desperately all the way, and forcibly wrapped those high-speed 'Dark Soul' knights into their own team, restricting their movements, like a huge sponge, absorbing the surging rapids.

Yang Tian applauded lightly: "Yes, yes, this commander is a talent, remember him, go back and transfer him into our own army to exercise well." ”

Long Feng sneered: "I'm sorry, that talent of yours seems to have been slashed to death by the other party's commander, so it is impossible to transfer him to your team for training." Yang Tian's mouth suddenly opened wide and he was speechless.

Waving his hand, Long Feng instructed the artillery team behind him: "Marshal Wen told you to come over, that is, to put a few cannons and leave, why are you still delaying here? If they kill all those infantry and rush over, we can't take care of you." The artillery commander, who could see the excitement, hurriedly ordered to retreat towards the earthen fort group in the rear.

Blood was splashed on the battlefield, and from time to time, handsome horses fell to the ground covered in blood. Often, a dozen recruits rushed to three or five knights, grabbed their thighs and dragged them down, and when they fell to the ground, they lifted their weapons and slashed them down, and in the process, there were often several soldiers who were crippled or had their heads cut off by the knights on their sides.

Van Ster looked coldly at the troubled 'Dark Soul' legion, and said coldly: "Put down the city gate, they are no longer saved." "Behind him, the generals of the 'Fallen' Legion smirked, and the generals of the other regular legions did not care about virtue, and the order was quickly passed on. Thirteen heavy iron gates were slowly lowered, cutting off the possible retreat of those 'dark soul' knights.

The deputy commander of the former 'Dark Soul' Legion, who was commanding in the battle formation, temporarily acted as the head of the legion, watched the city gate drop dumbfounded, and just as he was thinking about why this was, a thin soldier stabbed him in the throat, and after his body fell to the ground, the recruits who had learned to distinguish the Black Cloud Emperor [***] rank mark pounced on more than a dozen and snatched his head one after another...... That's a great achievement.

The morale of the 'Dark Soul' legion was instantly low, and there were still more than 50,000 surviving people, and their movements stiffened like chickens from a cold, and they were all cut down by soldiers who were far inferior to them. In the end, quite simply, 20,000 knights dismounted on their own initiative and became prisoners. And the 200,000 recruits under Yang Tian are only 100,000 intact at the moment.

Yang Tian laughed: "I really have to thank their commanders in the city, otherwise we would have lost this battle." ”

Long Feng nodded: "So, in the future, you have to pay attention to your subordinates fighting for power...... It seems that the guy who answered on the top of the castle tower just now is covered in green, right? These people are wearing dark gold armor, doesn't that fool know that every combat power must be cherished in war?"

Yang Tian muttered in a low voice, "If possible, I would be willing to sacrifice Lao Qiong...... It's a pity that his big brother is too strong, unless I kill him secretly, otherwise he will be able to rush out even if he is surrounded by thousands of troops, right?"

Yang Tian shouted an order to the recruits who were frantically competing for battle merit, that is, cutting off the heads of those high-ranking knights and snatching their rank insignia in their hands: "Hurry up and clean up the battlefield, be careful of the 300,000 vengeful knights who rush out of the family, you will die." Patting the head of the horse under the seat, Yang Tian said maliciously: "Are your two legs as fast as the horse's legs?"

The soldiers who were scuffling for the badges of several middle-ranking generals came to their senses when they heard this, and they stopped one after another, and did not take the credit, and under the orders of the officers, the whole team assembled, hastily treated their wounded, and ran quickly in the direction of their own camp with the prisoners.

Four hours later, Yang Tian stood straight and reported the situation in Wenyuan's humble hall: "200,000 recruits were dispatched, nearly 70,000 high-ranking knights of the other side were eliminated, and 20,000 were captured...... Well, he lost 93,000 soldiers and wounded more than 7,000. ”

Wen Yuan tapped the table lightly: "The confession of the captives has come out, they turned out to be one of the five legions directly under the Black Cloud Empire, but unfortunately, they were betrayed by the commander of another legion, who is also the supreme commander of the Black Cloud Army...... Hehe, that's the case, otherwise your army of 200,000 won't be able to run back a single hair. ”

Yang Tian said solemnly: "Marshal, it's not that my command ability is not good, but that these recruits are too weak. I taught them for three months and trained here for another two months, but their combat quality was still too bad, and I asked for my 100,000 recruits to be exchanged for 20,000 soldiers of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army'. ”

Wen Yuan refused: "Don't even think about it." The 'Tiger Wolf Army' is now an assault brigade under the Chinese army, and you can't let it mess around...... Those recruits are cannon fodder anyway, and you can toss them as much as you want. If you don't have anything else to do, just rest, and General Joan stays. ”

Yang Tian made a grimace and walked away with a smile, this time he recklessly went to battle without receiving the commander's order, he thought that no matter how he was, he would be fined half a year's military salary, but he didn't expect that because he killed a powerful legion on the other side, he still had a little credit, and he really made ......

Wen Yuan's face showed a trace of ugliness: "Two thousand shells, there is not much damage to their city wall, what do you think?"

Qiong Daotian said viciously: "Get him millions of catties of zha medicine, dig a tunnel to blow up their foundation, and see if they are still angry." ”

Wen Yuan smiled bitterly: "We only brought 200,000 catties from the Celestial Empire, and after we were here, we successively made 50,000 catties, but the craftsmen have lost more than 2,000 people, millions of catties, hehe, it is rare to make it without two years of hard work." Could it be that we are just here and staring at them for two years? When the time comes, don't say that Your Majesty is angry, I myself will be ashamed to commit suicide. ”

Qiong Daotian licked his lips: "But this is the most direct way...... Otherwise, they would have to train recruits in the rear to move faster, and if they could throw three million soldiers into their rear, their defenses at the 'Fallen Soul' Pass would be greatly weakened. ”

Wen Yuan knocked on the case: "Now we don't dare to move." If all of our army went to the north of the Black Cloud Continent nearby, bypassed this mountain range by boat, and landed directly on that continent, the Black Cloud Empire would be able to gather a large army to attend the Black Cloud Continent and our current rear base camp, and the little things we had worked so hard to manage would be gone. ”

Qiong Daotian was also distressed: "I just hope that God will help, just split this mountain range with a thunderbolt...... Can the Black Sky Old Buddha?"

Wen Yuan laughed, shook his head again and again, and said, "How is it possible, Lafayette himself is also a human being, after all, he is not a god." I wish he could...... Eh...... The immediate plan can only wait for the recruits in the rear to produce results quickly, but the strength of the Black Cloud Empire is also strengthening little by little, and the prospects are worrying......"

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

Three days later, Yang Tian looked at the order given to him by Wen Yuan with a big head, and all the millions of recruits in the army this time were assigned to him, saying that he wanted him to exercise the combat ability of these recruits in the actual war, and there must not be a situation where the formation was scattered like before.

In desperation, Yang Tian could only take turns to get up early in the morning with hundreds of thousands of soldiers every day, while the weather was still relatively cool, each person carried a large leaf, and after bringing enough water, he ran outside the city wall to scold, greeting from Fanst's daughter to his daughter's thirty-seven generations of ancestors, hoping that Fanster would send a few more people out to have a lively fight.

But Van Sted sat at the head of the city every day and watched the soldiers of the Celestial Empire laugh, and every recruit of the Celestial Empire had a big leaf on his head, and honestly sat on the ground in a phalanx, with the hot summer sun above his head, and occasionally a few guys who were not in good health fell down due to heat stroke.

Van Ster was not in a hurry, and finally removed the last thorn in his eye, and in the line, the wound of the commander of the 'Dark Soul' seemed to be healed, but his legion was either wiped out or surrendered to the enemy, and even if he came to the front line, he could not compete with him for power. Grain and grass in the rear, large military equipment, cannonballs, fire, and other items were constantly being brought in, and the militia opened countless caves and tunnels in the vast valley behind the city walls, which could accommodate all the soldiers and supplies, and now it was impossible to be breached.

The only troop problem that worried Vanst at first was also well resolved, and all the unqualified militiamen in the remaining eight million troops had been transferred back and replaced with well-trained recruits, whose combat effectiveness was already on par with the enemy outside the city, and with such a wall that was probably the strongest and most majestic in the world, there was no need to worry about the enemy outside the city.

What's more, hundreds of thousands of enemy troops come outside the city every day to perform a juggler, which makes Van St even more happy, although the scolding is a bit ugly, but the Van Sand who has just been promoted to the Duke of the Empire has a big heart, so he will not send people out to fight so stingy...... Van Sted deeply felt the benefits of the war to himself, and his father was now also given the title of prince because of his military power? This is the first prince with a foreign surname in the empire for thousands of years......

As a result, when the Celestial Empire army really had nothing to do with the 'Fallen Soul' mountain pass, and Van Ster refused to fight, the two sides slowly stalemate. If it weren't for the support of the old man Cress, I'm afraid that the Celestial Empire army would really have to retreat because of hunger, just like the plan of the top management of the Black Cloud Empire.

As for Yang Tian's helpless parade every morning, which was almost like homework, it has become a joke between the armies of both sides...... Even the recruits who were forced to get up early every morning to rush to the road began to sing loudly during the march, and they were often greeted with unanimous applause from the armies of both sides, which was not a bright spot in the history of war......
