There was no human figure in the camp of the Great Army, except for a patrol of fifty men roaming around in the night light. All the other soldiers rested in their tents, preparing for the next day's rapid trek. According to Wen Yuan's order, in three days, he must rush to the city of 'Huoyun' no matter what.

The 100,000 and 3,000 soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire who surrendered were forcibly taken over by the dragon commander of the vanguard 'Tiger Wolf Army', and drove them all night as if they were driving sheep, covering up for the 'Fire Cloud' city.

The logistics general of the army allocated two tents to Long Feng and the other four people who obviously did not work and only ate, and Finse unceremoniously occupied one, and Long Feng, Yang Tian, and Gnu had to live in one. At this moment, Long Feng was holding a wine glass, foaming at the mouth and explaining the tactical theory of 'blitzkrieg' to Yang Tian and Gnu.

Long Feng sat on the blanket with a big grin, and put on a full of learned virtues in front of Yang Tian and Genu, who were fascinated by his face, and shook his head and said: "The so-called 'blitzkrieg' is to concentrate the absolute superiority of military strength, choose a point of the opponent's defense system, and give the opponent a fatal blow with a storm-like rage and lightning speed. There is no need to expand the openings along the way, as long as you concentrate your forces, go straight to your goal, and achieve your strategic goal before the opponent's support arrives, it is victory. The basis of all this is the speed of their superior forces, which is faster than the opponent's mobile forces. Fast, accurate, and ruthless are the core elements of this tactic. ”

Long Feng took a sip of wine and asked Yang Tian, "Suppose the other party has an army of millions and more than four thousand flying aircraft in the sky, and the firepower is the same as the new artillery I saw that day. On the ground were tens of thousands of chariots made of steel, with powerful cannon fire, and ordinary artillery had no effect on him at all, and the speed was the same as that of a galloping horse. As for all the soldiers, they have the tools that can do thousands of miles of long journeys with tools faster than horses. And you have only 200,000 cavalry in your hands, and you are using a sword, how can you resist? The other side has invaded your territory and is directly rushing towards your king's seat. And your country, although it borders on a large country, that large country is alone and is not willing to help it at all. ”

Seeing Yang Tian's puzzled eyes, Long Feng said domineeringly: "Don't care if those weapons may appear or not, anyway, I said so, what do you say?"

Yang Tian said simply: "Simple, I surrender." Surrender to alleviate casualties. If ordinary artillery can't destroy those tanks, then using a knife is simply death. ”

Long Feng nodded, poured a glass of wine, and asked Gnu: "If such an army of two million invades a vast empire from three directions from a continent, and all the military strength of that empire is placed on a defense line on the border that claims to never fall, and there is no regular combat-ready army in the country, what do you think will happen?"

Gnu was a little dumbfounded and asked, "Since that line of defense will never fall, how did they get in?"

Yang Tian slapped Gnu's bald head fiercely and scolded: "Since you can't attack the front, just bypass the country next to you." Mr. Long, you also forgot to add that when the 'Blitzkrieg' first started, the country that was raided was used to bypass that line of defense, right?"

Long Feng smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, that's it, what do you say you can do?"

Yang Tian shrugged his shoulders: "Then, I can only surrender." That line of defense simply did not work. When the head of the empire was captured, he would definitely order surrender, and that line of defense would be useless. ”

Long Feng clapped his hands and laughed: "Understood? Superior forces, not only a partial advantage, but also an overall advantage, break through one or two points of the opponent's vast defense, and then sweep through the opponent's hinterland, give the opponent a fierce knife, consume the opponent's strength, and then sweep their scattered army, form a large-scale advantage, and finally destroy the opponent, understand?"

Yang Tian nodded, the skin of Gnu's head glowed red, and he used his brain fiercely for a long time before he shouted: "Yes, the so-called 'blitzkrieg' is a sudden attack, just like a group of our high-ranking warriors went to raid a lot of miscellaneous soldiers, no matter how many of them are, as long as they lose at the beginning, they will lose like a ball." Because they did not dare to abandon the defense of other places and fully support the places that were attacked......"

Long Feng nodded, and Yang Tian said with a smile: "Gnu, you have become smarter...... As for the large-scale operation in the future, it is a move to expand the victory, and the real 'blitzkrieg' has just begun, and it is actually the end, isn't it?"

Long Feng nodded silently, and Yang Tianxiao smiled and suddenly asked him, "Have you ever seen such a war?"

Long Feng grabbed the wine jar, poured down half of the spies wine, and pretended to be crazy and stupid: "Eh, drunk, drunk, rest and rest, and hurry tomorrow as soon as possible." Next time, I'll tell you about 'asymmetric strikes'. ”

forcibly blew out the lights, and Long Feng got into the bed, dead or alive. Gnu shook his head from side to side and burrowed into his quilt rolls, and soon there was a heavy snoring sound.

Yang Tian was lying on his bunk, his head rolling with all kinds of cases that Long Feng had told him in the past two days. The 'point' tactic of using small elite units to sneak up on the enemy's vital points; the 'sparrow' tactic of using small-scale troops to destroy a dozen or twenty people of the opponent at a time; the 'unrestricted warfare' that seems to be a bit inhumane with the will of the people of the other side as the target, and so on......

Long Feng also kept thinking in his heart, although Wen Yuan's action this time was ordered by the upper echelons of the Celestial Empire, but Wen Yuan himself had also thought about it for a long time......, right? In order to deepen Yang Tian's impression, Long Feng hurriedly dug out Lao Xi's tactics of raiding Europe and told Yang Tian and Gnu...... I just don't know if the Celestial Empire has the ability to make rudimentary tanks now, if there is, then it will take a lot more effort, even if it is the type of the first diamond-shaped tank on the ancient earth, it is enough to destroy a team of cavalry.

Nothing to say all night......

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

As soon as the sky in the east dawned, the army had already set camp and hurried away, and all the soldiers were holding rice balls in their hands, eating as they went. Yang Tian, Long Feng, a person with a special identity and a relatively high level, quickly caught up with the team after eating and drinking quickly in the special tent.

All the soldiers had solemn faces, and walked forward quickly with neat steps, the smoke and dust were covered, and the birds and beasts from far and near the field were scattered, and the entire legion was like a monster of the wilderness, shocking the entire southern plain.

Along the way, there had already begun to be a small group of elite cavalry regiments of the Black Cloud Empire with black helmets and red sharp horns, but their commander wisely let his team leave the Celestial Empire army for about five miles, moving forward in parallel, ensuring that he could quickly retreat in case of emergency.

The coalition forces ignored these small groups of troops and rushed straight towards 'Fire Cloud City'. All the middle and lower-level generals galloped back and forth on both sides of the team with their escorts, roaring: "Forward, forward, fast, fast, fast......" The soldiers of the Celestial Empire silently accelerated their pace again, and the soldiers of the various vassal countries of the Western Continent cried their faces, forcing themselves to catch up with the pace of the Celestial Empire soldiers.

Long Feng and the other four formed a strange small group, about two miles away from the team, and four miles away from the team of about three thousand Black Cloud Empire knights on the right. The clothes on their bodies told the people of the Black Cloud Empire their noble status, and seduced them to their hearts, but looking at the Celestial Empire soldiers in the large army column, they suppressed their urge to clash with each other and capture Long Feng and the four of them.

The small horsewhip in Long Feng's hand pointed at the army of the Celestial Empire, as well as the seven or eight small troops of the Black Cloud Empire near and far, and said eloquently: "Actually, this march, in terms of secrecy, was a failure. Why?First, the army must first conquer all of the Black Cloud Empire's fortresses in the Boulder Wastes, which has already alarmed their command. Second, this is already under the control of the Black Cloud Empire, and they have a lot of rangers, just like these ghostly teams next to them, it is impossible to hide from them and attack towards the 'Fire Cloud' City. Third, the main reason is that the current army is too slow, and it is impossible to rely on infantry to reach their destination in the time when the opponent is unable to react. ”

Yang Tian concluded: "So, although the advance this time is fast, it still does not meet the standard of 'blitzkrieg'?"

Long Feng shrugged his shoulders: "That's right, as for those millions of cavalry troops, although they are much faster, if they want to attack the city, it is simply to send them to death...... But what did they do?"

Gnu frowned, and said bitterly, "If they are going to destroy the opponent's mobile troops, there is no reason to let these miscellaneous soldiers hang around us non-stop. ”

Finser shook his head, bluffed and said, "Yes, there are more than a million cavalry, and there are no more than 100,000 guerrillas of the Black Empire next to them, and they should have been wiped out a long time ago...... Won't they be wiped out instead?"

Long Feng glanced at her, and said in a strange voice: "Eldest sister, if you were in command of those cavalry, I believe that they would have been finished long ago, but unfortunately, people are not as brainless as you." ”

Finser asked, "What do you mean?"

Long Feng opened his mouth, heheed a few times, and asked Yang Tian, "Tell me, can you guess what they did?"

Yang Tianqu pondered for a long time, and said cautiously: "According to the normal speed, they should have been ahead of us by one day. The wrong thing is that although the cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire next to them is not large, only about 100,000 people, they are all their elite troops, and it is impossible for them to march with us and then watch us besiege the 'Fire Cloud' City...... Their headquarters should know our goal by now, so why don't they mobilize these elites to rush ahead of us and support the city of 'Fire Cloud'?"

Gnuhaha laughed: "I see, those cavalry killed all their heralds, so these idiot-like black cavalry didn't receive orders and didn't know what they were told to do." I didn't dare to decide what to do for myself, so I had to follow us. ”

A person clapped softly behind them, and Genu looked back in surprise, it was a tall gold-armored general of Wen Yuan's age.

Yang Tian muttered in his heart: "Damn, I knew they were coming, why did you show them?"

The Jinjia general smiled and said, "The last general, Qi Zhantian, is currently the adjutant of Generalissimo Wen...... The marshal has invited you to go to the Chinese army to discuss matters, please ......"

Long Feng's heart quickly turned out the information of this Qi Zhantian, his father was one of Yang Long's former deputy generals, and now one of the bigwigs of the Celestial Empire's military, because of his father's relationship, he has a very special good impression of Yang Tian.

A military discipline officer beside Qi Zhantian said coldly: "Four, there are elite light cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire not far away, for the sake of your safety, don't rashly leave the brigade in the future and act alone." ”

After a few haha, Yang Tian and Long Feng dealt with it, and followed Qi Zhantian towards the Chinese army ten miles ahead.

Wen Yuan was surrounded by thousands of generals, and the entire Chinese army silently followed the army. Qi Zhantian quickly turned his horse to Wen Yuan's side, and whispered a few words in his ear. Wen Yuan looked at Long Feng in surprise, slowed down his horse, and said to Yang Tian: "Your Highness, the generals all feel that if Your Highness doesn't have a single soldier by his side, it will be really bad for His Highness's safety, so it was decided to let His Highness lead an army as the flank guard of the Chinese army, how about it?"

Yang Tian said with a grin: "Dashuai is joking, it's okay to let me play with a little girl, if I am allowed to lead the troops, if something goes wrong, according to the military laws of the Celestial Empire, it is strange if I don't lose my head." ”

Wen Yuan smiled and said, "Originally, Ben Shuai wanted to send a few capable generals to assist His Highness. However, Ben Shuai actually had no eyes, and he didn't realize that Mr. Long was actually strategic, and he was not an ordinary person...... You don't have to be polite, Ben Shuai allocated 50,000 elite soldiers to His Highness to lead, and Mr. Long and Mr. Gnu were the deputy generals, how about it?"

Finser cried out in discontent, "What about me, don't you think I can't fight?"

Wen Yuan was stunned for a moment, frowned slightly, and said to Finse with a smile: "Lord Finse Douglas is a strong martial artist, and he is also a high-ranking general of the Green Empire, and he holds a military position in the army of His Highness Yang Tian, it seems that he ...... Not quite right. Your army is two hundred miles to the southeast, why don't you send a guard to escort your army to join your [***] team?"

Yang Tian and Long Feng secretly played each other's colors, and the direction where the 200,000 cavalry of the Green Empire was located was where another big city, 'Black Wind' City, was located.

Finser said unceremoniously, "I'm too lazy to meet those idiots in the Grimm Empire...... Little brother, I'll be your deputy, are you okay?"

Neither Long Feng nor Yang Tian reacted, and Fense was furious, kicked Long Feng on the thigh fiercely, and roared, "Shall I speak to you? Are you deaf?"

Yang Tian quickly dialed his horse and ran three zhang away, rushing into the queue of a long group of gunners, causing a small confusion in the team. Long Feng said to Wen Yuan with a bitter face: "Dashuai, this, since Lord Finse wants to follow the villain, we can only accept this...... Hehe, not to mention that the villain's martial arts are low, and it is a blessing to have a master like Lord Finser to help. ”

Finser nodded triumphantly and smiled.

Wen Yuan's face twitched slightly, and he said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then, Deputy Marshal Qi, allocate 50,000 elite soldiers, and transfer back 30,000 'Tiger and Wolf Army' iron cavalry to His Royal Highness Yang Tian to command." As for the three of them, how about they all be given the position of the second-rank general of the Celestial Empire?"

Yang Tian accepted it indifferently, Gnu's face was flushed, Long Feng deliberately squeezed out a few wry smiles, and Finse didn't care at all, shouting to give her the military attache costume of the Celestial Empire.

The order was quickly executed, and 50,000 elite soldiers quickly gathered around them, forming a flank battalion a mile outside the Chinese brigade, advancing parallel to the main army. Thousands of light horsemen quickly clashed out, and went to fetch the iron cavalry of the 30,000 'Tiger and Wolf Army'.

After Qi Zhantian returned to the Chinese army, Wen Yuan ordered in a low voice: "Send the secret camp to keep an eye on Finser Douglas. If the Grimm Empire wants to play some small moves, kill her for me. ”

Qi Zhantian asked puzzledly: "Dashuai, this Fense seems to have changed the appearance of a different person." At the last banquet, the performance of Long Feng was like that, but now, the two seem to be very familiar...... ...... the end?"

Wen Yuan's face was gloomy: "I will never allow anyone to hurt the son of the Great Commander...... Dragon Wind, Dragon Wind...... It sounds like a person from the Celestial Empire, but I have never heard of such a person in the Celestial Empire who is familiar with the art of war and knows Western methods...... Give me a thorough investigation of his details, and monitor his and Finser's actions at all times. ”

Qi Zhantian nodded knowingly, and lightly made a few gestures in the queue. More than a dozen strange black shadows secretly flashed out from several large carts of the artillery team that had been following the advance of the Chinese army, as if a puff of smoke had disappeared into the air. The tens of thousands of soldiers around didn't even notice these figures.

Qi Zhantian said with a little emotion: "However, to be honest, this kid Long Feng is really good, he was able to persuade the dead-headed barbarian of Gnu to analyze the movements of our cavalry brigade, which is amazing......"

Wen Yuan nodded lightly, and after a while, he looked ahead, and said lightly: "At this time tomorrow, we can besiege the 'Fire Cloud' City." As soon as the city of 'Fire Cloud' is conquered, the entire Southern Plains will open its doors to us. At that time, it was up to us how we wanted to fight. ”

Another general snorted and said, "As long as we clear the garbage of the Black Cloud Empire in the entire Southern Continent, we can lead our division straight to their lair and completely conquer them." ”

Wen Yuan showed a hint of a smile, nodded, and looked at the direction of the flanker battalion led by Yang Tian with some concern.

××××××××××××××××××××××××

When it was almost nightfall, 30,000 'Tiger Wolf Army' iron horsemen rushed to Yang Tian with blood all over their bodies, and rushed to Yang Tian with a bad spirit, and saluted Yang Tian with a standard cavalry salute, and their commander, a second-grade Leopard Jie general, immediately bowed down and shouted to Yang Tian: "'Tiger Wolf Army' and 'Blood Tiger' Cavalry Brigade, report to the commander." ”

Yang Tian smiled and arched his hand and said, "You guys are hard, hard...... Well, hurry up and prepare to camp and rest, and have a good rest...... People who can rest only fight, don't they? Why do you all have blood on your bodies?"

The general surnamed Liu said respectfully: "We have just chopped off the heads of 40,000 captives under the 'Yellow Thunder' city, warned the defenders of the 'Yellow Thunder' city, and after receiving the order, rushed to the ground at full speed. ”

Long Feng nodded, distributed the team, and set up camp on the left side of the Chinese army camp, assigning patrolmen and others.

When he returned to his tent, Yang Tianfei lay on his bunk and complained: "I just want to come over and see the excitement, I have to give 80,000 people to play, you say, how can these soldiers and horses play?"

Long Feng laughed weirdly: "The only two cavalry teams of the 'Tiger Wolf Army's 'Blood Tiger' and 'Yin Wolf' have been given to you, what else do you want? If you want to come up with a roll call, I will take those soldiers and horses with Genu to kill all over the ground; If you want to keep the good image of a playboy like this, and go to the Celestial Empire to develop like this, then let me give these 80,000 people to the Black Cloud Empire as a snack to eat." ”

Yang Tian stretched his waist to the extreme, let out a long breath, and groaned: "It's better for you and Genu to help me teach the people of the Black Cloud Empire a good lesson, and if I go to the Celestial Empire in the future, at least let others know that there are still two talents around me." Don't let others look down on you completely. If people want to recruit you, then I have some use value. ”

Long Feng groaned for a while, looked at Gnu, who was constantly stroking his big sword with his left hand, and laughed evilly.

Gnu was completely cold in his heart by the dark smile of the dragon wind, and said dryly, "You, what are you going to do?"

Yang Tian sat cross-legged on his bunk, holding his chin, and looked at the cold sweat on Gnu's bare head with great interest.

Long Feng gently spread out his palm, and a burst of black light floated slightly in the palm of his hand, and a purple crystal bottle appeared a foot above Long Feng's palm, and there was about two taels of black liquid in it, which was a small tube of a batch of demon dragon blood that Long Feng got from Yang Wei when he was in the demon world.

Long Feng used a voice similar to that of a wolf lady coaxing the little white rabbit, and said softly and gently to Gnu: "Good, Gnu, drink it, good ......" slowly approached Gnu, whose eyes widened.

Yang Tian also helped beside him: "Gnu, you are such a big man, you won't be afraid of bitterness......, right? Be obedient, drink it, maybe you will be famous immediately, and a sword can kill a dragon. ”

Gnu shook his head desperately and said, "No, there are no creatures like dragons on this continent...... I won't drink it. The great wizard of the clan said that there is nothing good about the medicine made by the magician. I would never drink it. ”

Long Feng waved his hand slightly, and dozens of black air currents surrounded him, tying up Gnu, who was making a strange scream and preparing to escape, and suspended him firmly in the air. Long Feng walked over, knocked off Gnu's jaw with a punch, and poured down a bottle of blood from the most powerful and violent three-headed demon dragon in the Nine Demon Domains.

The black blood flowed into Gnu's body like a scorching magma, and the endless heat energy was frantically emitted, and the temperature in the entire tent rose instantly, Yang Tian exclaimed slightly, and a black mist erupted on his body, enveloping the entire tent, and at the same time cutting off Gnu's screams. It was because of this black mist that the tent was not burned down by this terrible heat flow.

Gnu's eyes almost popped out of his sockets, his muscles were red, sweat flowed down like a stream, and the blood vessels under his skin bulged out one by one, twisting in horror. After a while, Gnu's entire body swelled by almost half, and his hideous face revealed a crazy killing intent, and powerful power continued to surge inside his body.

Long Feng put away his usual hippie appearance, stood beside Gnu, and chanted the ancient spells of those high-level demon gods from the Nine Demon Domains. Strange sounds continued to echo in the tent, and black brilliance emerged from the inside of Long Feng's body, slowly forming a three-dimensional, incomparably complex thirteen-star magic array.

Long Feng's long hair floated in the energy flow, and his whole body was shrouded in a layer of black fluorescence, and his deep eyes flashed with purple mysterious brilliance, which shocked Gnu in great pain, and Yang Tian, who had been watching the excitement from the side.

Long Feng's right palm swung out lightly, cutting off the remnants of Gnu's right arm, and the blood flowed out, Long Feng lightly clicked, and the blood flow was bound together by the power of the magic array, forming a red arm.

The strange spell sounded again, and at this moment, Gnu was tied into a large character shape by the black brilliance, and floated in the air with his head in the sky. On the ground, a strange and evil badge flashed, and a black flame burned out of the badge, enveloping Gnu entirely.

Yang Tian licked his lips and subconsciously said, "I said, Long Feng, don't you kid barbecue him and eat it, right?"

Long Feng ignored him, and pressed his palms on Gnu's head, and the violent 'Heavenly Demon Qi' penetrated Gnu's body, resisting the erosion of Gnu's by the Demon Realm Flame that re-forged his body. If you want this flame to directly transform Gnu's body, Gnu must be vaporized instantly.

Gnu, who was in this situation, realized that all the heat in his body had gathered on his 'right arm', resisting the attack of a cold flame on his **.

A layer of fine black scales suddenly appeared on the surface of Gnu's body, covering his whole body, and Gnu's body suddenly added a strange and hideous feeling. Fortunately, this layer of scales quickly disappeared under the full suppression of the dragon wind.

The magic array slowly disappeared, the evil badge on the ground disappeared, the black flames also disappeared, the black ribbon of light disappeared, and Gnu looked at his intact newborn right arm in a daze, sitting on the floor and making a flute. Suddenly, a layer of red light appeared on his right arm, and the last bit of unconsumed energy of the demon dragon's blood was violently emanated, and Gnu's entire arm was in severe pain as if it had been soaked in boiling water, and Gnu let out a terrible scream.

Fortunately, this energy was already the last bit of energy, and the dark power contained in Gnu's body quickly counteracted the heat, and slightly circled around his right arm, subtracting his pain.

Gnu, who was full of **, jumped up like crazy, waving his arms, and there was a sudden 'whirring' wind sound in the tent, slightly clenching his fists, and with a slight force, his previous simple fighting spirit suddenly filled his body, and a thick gray airflow enveloped his body, and his muscles were raised, and his figure was much taller.

Gnu cheered, grabbed his great sword, rushed out of the tent, and gestured under the stars, the whistling wind blade flying out from the blade, three feet away, and the momentum was awe-inspiring.

Long Feng and Yang Tian scanned Gnu's body at the same time, Yang Tian didn't care, anyway, he didn't understand what Gnu's current physical condition meant. Long Feng smiled bitterly, it seems that the weight of the demon dragon is too much, and the physical strength of Gnu has far exceeded that of ordinary people, reaching the physical strength of the intermediate race in the Demon Realm, although the energy is not very strong, and it is not even comparable to the top Celestial Empire masters, but, in the face of a humanoid fortress that is not injured and is not afraid of death, there is only one way for anyone to escape, right?

In the madness, Gnu shouted loudly, attracting countless soldiers to watch, and Long Feng and Yang Tian, who felt that something was wrong, forcibly took Gnu back to the tent, and then ordered the soldiers to go back to rest.

Yang Tian complained to himself: "Barbarian, it's really fucking barbaric, my little brother is at least twice as big as me, this, Long Feng, can you help me with that?"

Long Feng almost vomited blood, glared at him fiercely, didn't bother to pay attention to him, walked straight in front of Finser's tent for a while, and made sure that this trillion-year-old female ghost was not woken up by the crazy Gnu, and then returned to his tent with confidence.

×××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The next day, the story of Shi Longfeng using magic to regenerate Gnu's arm quickly spread throughout the army. All the senior generals who looked at Long Feng had a strange look in their eyes. Indeed, no one knows if they can come back intact in the battle formation, and anyone can encounter something that is missing an arm and a broken leg......

Long Feng, who felt his scalp tingle, hurriedly found Wen Yuan and explained that he could only use such magic twice a month with enough magic power, and then explained the past. However, Long Feng's mind moved slightly, and he said to Wen Yuan: "If those generals can pick up their bodies in time, this, there will be a lot less magic wasted...... This, about 100 treatments at a time, is not a problem. ”

Obviously seeing the shocked expressions of Wen Yuan and all the generals of the Chinese army, Long Feng said goodbye with satisfaction and returned to the queue led by Yang Tian.

After Long Feng walked away, Wen Yuan said in a low voice: "Unfathomable......"

Qi Zhantian kept shaking his head: "Monster, monster...... Legend has it that Western law books can give birth to dry bones and live dead, and it is the first time I have really seen it...... Great, we ......."

Wen Yuan kept nodding and said, "Guarantee his safety." If a brother is disabled, he can be saved...... Of course, the officers are preferred...... After all, there are no more than two hundred people a month...... "The generals kept nodding, the soldiers are disabled, the Celestial Empire has a perfect pension system, they don't need to worry about life in the future, only those generals who are fierce and fierce, in case they are crippled, it is nerve-wracking.

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

In the distance ahead, a gray-yellow city can already be seen towering between heaven and earth, and a black flag is hanging on the city wall, it is the largest 'fire cloud' city of the Black Cloud Empire on the Southern Plains, with more than 300,000 garrisons, and more than a million residents, as for the nearby residents, they have long fled to the Southern Plains.

Satisfied, seeing that there was no sign of reinforcements from nearby cities around, only two small walled cities as horns stood outside the northern city gate, Wen Yuan gave the order to besiege the city.

The army began to separate from the left and right, revealing the position of the Chinese army, and the more than two million troops began to camp on all sides and besiege the city. Although the other side only has 300,000 garrisons, if they attack hard, their losses will not be less. In order to avoid unnecessary losses, and since there was no worry about enemy reinforcements, Wen Yuan made up his mind to attack slowly.

At this moment, the commander of the Black Cloud Empire stationed in 'Huoyun' City standing on the tower of the city looked at the army outside the city with gloomy eyes, and his heart was full of anger. He had already judged that the opponent's target was his own city according to the report of the rangers, and issued an order to transfer troops, asking for reinforcements from other nearby cities, but the Celestial Empire used a million cavalry regiments to constantly harass and raid other cities, and now, not a single soldier of reinforcements has come.

Just when the commanders of the two sides were thinking about each other's strategies for attacking and defending the city, something happened that stunned both sides, and an ironclad cavalry team burst out from the military column of the Celestial Empire and rushed straight to the small fortress on the left outside the city.

The commander of the Black Cloud Empire couldn't even shout, seeing that the size of the cavalry team of the Celestial Empire was about 30,000 people, and although the two fortresses outside the city were usually stationed with 40,000 people, in order to concentrate their forces to deal with the siege of the Celestial Empire army two days ago, they had already withdrawn all the soldiers, and there were less than 2,000 people in each walled city to pack up the debris and so on. If it weren't for the excessive military strength of the Celestial Empire, this arrangement of acting as horns for each other would be very suitable for dealing with enemies with equal military strength, but now, in vain, the other party has a chance to increase morale.

Annoyed, he drew his sword, and the commander of the 'Fire Cloud' city slashed at the city wall.

What surprised him appeared again, the Celestial Empire's main formation actually sounded the horn of collecting troops, and this cavalry team turned a deaf ear to the orders of the Chinese army, and directly killed the fortress outside the city, and there was an infantry team of about 50,000 people in the rear quickly clashed out and went around the city gate.

The commander of the city of 'Fire City' quickly ordered: "Open the gates, 40,000 cavalry, clash." ”

At this moment, Wen Yuan and other generals had blood-red eyes, watching Yang Tianyao wave his thin saber and lead his troops to rush out. Lian sounded the horn of ordering the troops to be withdrawn, but Yang Tian and Long Feng ignored the orders of the Chinese army at all, and continued to rush towards the city thirty miles away.

And at this moment, except for a group of troops of the Celestial Empire who were guarding against the cavalry that might suddenly rush out and disturb the other party, the other soldiers were busy camping, where did they have time to intercept Yang Tian's belonging? Especially the elite iron cavalry of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army' who only listened to the generals, they were almost at the edge of the city.

A group of cavalrymen in black armor with two red horns on their heads charged out from the suddenly open city gate, instantly unfolded their formation, and rushed towards the 'Tiger Wolf Army' iron cavalry outside the city.

The dragon wind whistled a few times, and more than a dozen small fireballs flew out and blasted into the cavalry team of the Black Cloud Empire, and the weak fireballs knocked over several cavalrymen, but to no avail.

The two streams collided with each other at a rapid pace. The knights in the front row roared loudly and fought against each other in the flying blood. The cavalry on the left and right sides of the Black Cloud Empire quickly circled out, preparing to surround the advancing cavalry from the rear.

Without waiting for Yang Tianxia's inexplicable orders, the knights of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' in the center of the queue hung up their spears and swords, took out the crossbow arrows in their hands, and shot a rain of arrows diagonally upward.

The 'Fire Cloud' commander at the head of the city punched himself bitterly, thinking that the other party would retreat in the face of difficulties, but he suddenly forgot the most terrifying weapon of the Celestial Empire - the repeating crossbow.

More than 2,000 knights of the Black Cloud Empire fell to the ground, and behind, 50,000 elite Celestial Empire soldiers had gradually approached, and flashed their long stabbing rifles.

The city of 'Huoyun' sent a signal to withdraw its troops, and Long Feng angrily restrained the cavalry who were about to pursue, and brought back the team that had almost no losses before the artillery at the head of the other city could be threatened.

Wen Yuan smiled bitterly: "They are going to raid that small camp, originally prepared that the other party's army will not dare to rush out of the city at the risk of our large army breaking through, so give the other party a little color first...... However, the commander of the other party didn't know why his head suddenly became confused, and he actually sent a cavalry brigade to hedge with them......"

Qi Zhantian shook his head and commented: "The people who attack are confused, and the people who attack are even more inexplicable. What if our army suddenly covers up while they are collecting?"

A general next to him shook his head: "It's nothing, at most, they abandon the ordinary cavalry to stop us, they pull up the city gate drawbridge, and the artillery can give us a head-on blow." ”

Wen Yuan nodded and said, "Although their firearms are not as good as ours, they are still very powerful for soldiers...... Orders, siege of the city, daily artillery bombardment, forced them out for a decisive battle. ”

A military discipline officer asked: "How should His Royal Highness Thurst, Prince of St. Dore, and Long Feng, the two specially promoted generals of Baojie, disobey military orders and rashly march into the army?"

Wen Yuan pretended to be confused and said: "This matter is our deliberate temptation, not a light advance that does not obey the order, just give them a little warning." Anyway, we still killed and wounded more than 3,000 enemy troops, and we didn't have any losses......"

The surrounding generals, all the generals who had participated in the Celestial Empire's assessment of the Nanban Campaign, all nodded their heads constantly. Wen Yuan's face changed and said: "However, if anyone thinks that they can ignore military law and act recklessly, don't blame Ben Shuai for being polite." ”

The generals received the order awe-inspiringly.

Long Feng and Yang Tian stood on the fence of their camp and said extremely irresponsibly, "Yay...... There should be a notice of punishment coming down...... Why haven't you yet?"

The mournful trumpets spread throughout the city of 'Fire Cloud', and as it got dark, countless sparks lit up in the camp of the Celestial Empire's army.

The 'Black Wind' City, 300 miles away, prepared an army of 150,000 to support the 'Fire Cloud', and as soon as it left the city, it was attacked halfway by the elite of the 100,000 'Tiger Wolf Army' and the cavalry of the 200,000 Green Empire, and after losing 50,000 people, it retreated. The coalition forces bluffed under the city for a night, and slowly retreated at dawn.

At the end of the Southern Plain, in the 'Emperor Wind' city near the sea, the Great Commander of the Black Cloud Empire in the Western Continent was begging for rapid support from the military headquarters in the country, otherwise he would only have to concentrate all his forces and fight to the death with the superior Celestial Empire army in the 'Fire Cloud' city, which was better than being defeated by the Celestial Empire army one by one......

The Black Cloud Empire's transport fleet, which carried 1.2 million recruits, and more than 2,000 warships came across the sea like dark clouds. Ahead, the Celestial Navy's sailors were halfway up their transport line.
