Chapter 67: The Second Route Army

"Baby, don't worry, I'll be back safely. You're the first beauty I fell in love with, how could I be willing to die like this?"

Yang Tian recalled the string of meaty words he said to Fei Duoya when he said goodbye just now, and the other generals didn't react, but the boss of the Qiong family seemed to see something. Hehe, it's not a big mistake for Lao Tzu to pursue a princess as a wife, isn't it? Besides, how can I also be a prince, and it's not very suitable for me to marry a stupid girl as a wife, isn't it?

The team of people and horses advanced quickly, and when it was almost sunset, they arrived at the arena prepared by the Black Cloud Empire, a simple wooden paved field, and some logs were placed as chairs nearby. Jin Tianfang Jin Daxia from the southern martial arts was very dissatisfied and said: "Barbarians are barbarians, and a venue for a martial arts competition is so simple, at least it needs a five-zhang high platform." ”

The martial arts people nearby nodded one after another, and the military people muttered in their hearts: "This is a martial arts competition if it sounds good, but it is a battlefield if it doesn't sound good, who wasted so much time preparing a regular competition venue for you?"

More than a dozen strange black shadows distorted and disappeared in the air, and these special killers from the palace used their abilities to sneak around to scout if there was an ambush from the Black Cloud Empire. After a while, Qiong Daotian received news that about twenty miles away, a cavalry brigade in black armor of about 100,000 people was resting there, and in addition, a little west, there were about 120,000 blood and silver cavalry wings. The military of the Celestial Empire had a foundation in their hearts, so they only ambushed 200,000 people? So, isn't it that the 500,000 people who are ambushed here have taken a big advantage?

The 25,000 iron cavalry roamed around the rear, and the martial artists who participated in the competition and a dozen high-ranking generals of the Celestial Empire military took their seats in the northern stand. More than a dozen Danshi held tightly in their hands the scroll drawn by Long Feng overnight, which was a small magic array that could summon otherworldly monsters, and the five thousand disciples of the Black Sky Old Ghost were all bald, sitting cross-legged behind them and chanting strange scriptures.

The sound of horses' hooves, the brigade of the Black Cloud Empire also arrived. At first glance, Stroheng saw the five thousand monks behind the martial arts people of the Celestial Empire, and the bald heads reflected the brilliance of Luoyue, and it was difficult to ignore them. His heart trembled slightly, he had already heard about the strange spells of these monks from Feng's mouth, fortunately, this time he brought ten thousand mages from the temple to disguise themselves as knights, otherwise, it would be really troublesome.

Qiong Daotian took Yang Tian, and Long Feng and Heitian Old Ghost greeted him. With a sincere smile on his face, Strongen was greeted by Feng, Tungulas, and a robed mage, and the two sides shook hands warmly in the center of the field. Qiong Daotian laughed loudly and said in the stammering Heitian official words: "Our two countries have a war of arms, but the spirit of the warriors still has to be observed." Since the Marshal has asked for a formal martial arts challenge, we are happy to accompany it. ”

Yang Tian almost laughed, Qiong Daotian's Heitian official speech was actually very fluent, God knows why he spoke in such a strange tone. Stromgen's eyes showed a slight trace of contempt, and he said in a very fluent Celestial Empire: "Ben Shuai told the truth, we suffered a big loss last time, and the masters of Ben Shuai's subordinates were very unconvinced, so I asked Ben Shuai to formally challenge you." According to your words, Ben Shuai can be regarded as good, so he naturally has to agree. Well, we have to divide life and death, and there will be thirty-six games in total, starting tomorrow when it comes out, how about it?"

Feng said with a malicious smile next to him, "Thirty-six, it seems to be a number that you Celestial Empire people like very much." ”

Yang Tian smiled at Feng weirdly and said, "Wrong, brother, I like three sixes." ”

Feng and several other high-ranking generals of the Black Cloud Empire had their faces stunned, and they couldn't figure out what they meant. Long Feng also laughed evilly: "Three six, don't you play dice? It's just a gambling device...... However, it is estimated that your country has not invented these moves for the time being, right?" In one sentence, he almost blocked Strongen and the other four, snorted coldly, and walked back directly. Faintly, Strongen could be heard asking in a low voice: "Dice, what are dice? Is it a weapon? Why didn't the spies report it? ”

Qiong Daotian resisted the urge to laugh and returned to his seat, I really don't know if the Black Cloud Army will vomit blood in anger after knowing what the dice are.

Tens of thousands of people sat quietly in the dark, and from time to time, the faint sound of weapons colliding could be heard from all around, and the powerful palm force quickly forced the blood in a person's chest cavity out of his mouth.

The old ghost of the black sky muttered in a low voice: "Hehe, playing yin, am you afraid of you?" The wind happened to blow from the sea in the north, and the sleeves of the old ghost in the black sky shook a few times, and a large ball of powder began to drift towards the south with the wind, and the sound of sneezing and the sound of the human body falling to the ground suddenly came from the opposite side.

The long night finally passed, and the managers of both sides brought a few more people to meet in the center of the field, the difference was that Joan Daotian was in good spirits, and Strongen was in an airy mood. In one night's secret fighting, the martial arts people of the Celestial Empire were killed 23 people and injured 39 people, and the Black Cloud Empire side lost 52 people and injured 13 people, obviously suffering a big loss. The cloud of poisonous powder that the old ghost of the black sky put over also quietly put down more than a dozen high-ranking generals of the black clouds.

Qiong Daotian returned to his seat, straightened his face, and commanded in a low voice: "The first twenty games of them probably mean something, and our side will send people to desperately delay them for time." In the last few games, it is the real masters who come forward to work hard, and when the time comes, you will have to prepare. The old ghost of the black sky nodded in agreement.

On the first day, there were six matches, with the Celestial Dynasty winning three, drawing one, and automatically giving up two. The next day, the masters of the Celestial Empire deliberately stalled on the field, and as a result, only four games were played......

After a full seven days, both sides had begun to set up tents on the nearby fields, and the marching stoves had been erected. Tungulas complained to Strongen: "My lord, we are so uneconomical, our military strength has already surpassed theirs, why do we have to ......?"

Strongen rebuked him: "I have long explained, we must not only destroy their army, but also attack their spirit, their warriors are all highly skilled, we must completely destroy their confidence in their warriors, and if their follow-up troops continue to invade, we can use this fact to tell them that we are much stronger than them in every way." ”

Feng whispered: "Yes, Lord Tunggulas, as long as our warriors have the confidence to win, what else can't be done? Now, there have been thirty-two games, and the two sides have just reached a draw, hum, thirty-three, let me play, I want to challenge their commander." ”

A strange light flashed in Strongen's eyes, and he gently patted Feng's shoulder and said, "This is what our imperial nobles should do, so use the blood of the 'Red Rock' city guard to wash away your shame...... In the next three games, let the masters from the temple play, and we at least won the last three games. Feng's face turned cold, and he strode towards the venue.

Tungulas's reckless and sluggish face suddenly showed a hint of annihilation, and he whispered, "Hehe, the commander of the 'Blood Night', what a great Count Feng. If he is killed by the opposing guard this time, I have no objection to half of the 'Blood Night' knights joining my 'Shenghua'. ”

Strongen said in a serious whisper: "How can you say that? As a colleague of Emperor [***], we should wish Lord Count Feng victory in a battle." As he spoke, a smile welled up on Stromgen's face. He smug his calculations: "If you accept Feng's legion, then I will accept even his fiancΓ©e...... Miss Beauty, Grand Duke of the House of St. Pol...... Feng, you'd better be killed right away. You're going to die......"

Feng stood in the center of the arena, drew his long sword, and challenged the Celestial Empire military: "I, the five legions directly under the Black Cloud Empire's royal family, the commander of the 'Bloody Night' cavalry legion, Feng, the imperial knighthood earl, officially challenge the supreme commander of the 'Red Rock' City in the last battle, let his blood wash away the shame of me and the 'Bloody Night' legion." ”

The eyes of the generals of the Celestial Dynasty military looked at Yang Tian at the same time, and General Long, the great commander of the 'Tiger Wolf Army', snorted coldly and was about to play. Yang Tian grabbed him with one hand, and said with a hippie smile: "He's challenging me, there's no need for General Long to play, I'm confident that I can still deal with him." ”

Without waiting for anyone to dissuade him, Yang Tian picked up a two-handed sword, strode onto the arena, and casually took off his armor and threw it away. Feng smiled, stuck his saber on the ground, quickly untied his armor, threw it away, moved his hands and feet, showed a contemptuous look at Yang Tian, raised his middle finger and hooked Yang Tian twice.

Yang Tian didn't say a word, and stood steadily less than three feet in front of Feng, a poignant sword wind, but with a crystal-like brilliant brilliance, and even a little bit of peerless weathering poignant, slightly with a trace of wind, but like a beautiful woman's soft groan, drawing an arc towards Feng's neck.

Feng immediately changed his face, solemnly raised his big sword, took three steps back, supported his right leg backwards, and his upper body drove his waist strength, and slashed out with a fierce sword. The sword blade with a light red aura split Yang Tian's sword qi, and a powerful shock wave emanated from the place where the sword wind collided with the sword blade, and Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Yang Lynx bent down, brought up three or four afterimages, hid the two-handed sword under his armpit, rushed forward with a roar, and then casually swept the sword out diagonally. Feng took advantage of the situation and slashed down with his sword, and when his sword blade was about to hit Yang Tian's two-handed sword, Yang Tian's sword had already subtly adjusted the angle, bringing up a bewildering sword light like water, which gently swept over Feng's waist.

Feng's sword violently spit out a red sword qi more than a zhang long, but Yang Tian retreated sharply, standing five zhang away and laughing. The red sword qi broke away from Feng's sword, roaring and stabbing at a group of intermediate knights in the Black Cloud Empire's battle camp, and with a bang, more than a dozen unlucky ghosts were blown up and hurriedly retreated.

Feng was furious, and a powerful wave surged all over his body, and he was about to rush towards Yang Tian in the midst of his clothes. Gnu suddenly let out a burst of wild laughter, and then, the Celestial Empire camp burst into laughter, and then, the two ** masters from the Black Cloud Empire Temple also suddenly bent down and laughed violently, driving all the Emperor [***] people below Stralongen to start laughing.

The sea breeze blew gently, gently blowing over Feng **'s thighs and the cumbersome string of things between his thighs. Yang Tian's sword just now had already slashed thirteen swords in a row on Feng's belt, and although such a gentle attack could not hurt Feng's body, it was enough to completely shatter Feng's belt and underwear.

Feng's face went from pale to blood-red, then bruised, and finally to pitch-black rage. The sword that joined Yang Tian was attacking his body, and he couldn't protect him with all his strength at all, but unfortunately, Yang Tian, who was born a little ruffian, chose his bottoms as a target.

Feng's eyes had turned blood-red, and he tore all the clothes on his upper body with one palm, and the trousers entangled in his calves were also shattered by the fierce fighting spirit. A red fighting qi as thick as lava surged from Feng's body, enveloping his ** body.

Strongen exclaimed in shock: "Damn, Feng actually broke through the bottleneck now. Doesn't it mean that he hasn't improved his skills for three consecutive years?" Tunggulas looked at Feng's fighting spirit with a little envy in a stunned manner, and muttered in a low voice: "It turns out that being cut off by someone on the battlefield can suddenly improve your fighting spirit?" hehe...... Hey hey ......"

A thick red fighting aura that looked like a giant dragon with teeth and claws slammed into Yang Tian. Yang Tianjian laughed again and again, suddenly dodged away, quickly retreated to his camp, and shouted wildly: "I admit defeat, I admit defeat, I admit that the commander of 'Red Rock' City can't win against the commander of the Black Cloud Empire's 'Blood Night'...... However, the siege of 'Bloody Night' lost to me, so it was only a draw. ”

The Celestial Empire's military coaxed together, and the red fighting air flow killed the three masters hired by the Black Cloud Empire in one fell swoop. Feng's ** body was slowly revealed, and just when he heard Yang Tian's last few words, his dark face suddenly turned purple, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and his body fell to the ground like this. Yang Tianxie laughed: "Fuck, Lao Tzu hasn't played out yet, but the enemy has already fallen, did Lao Tzu win?"

Qiong Daotian pretended to be fair and said, "This one, let's settle for a draw, Mr. Strongen, what do you think?" Strongen nodded strangely in agreement.

Naturally, a few senior knights of the 'Blood Night' Legion rushed forward, covered the body of their commander with their cloaks, and carried him back, staring at Yang Tian who was receiving congratulations from Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui with hateful eyes.

The wind grew stronger, and a howling sea breeze swept across the plain, and the trees swayed, muffling out all the sounds around them. Qiong Daotian shouted: "It may be a change, speed up the next three games, what is the result, we will also make a settlement." ”

A ** master from the Black Cloud Empire Temple quickly flashed into the venue, and the old ghost of the Black Sky laughed a few times, and walked up slowly. Seeing that it was a fight between mages, the spectator camps on both sides unconsciously stepped back fifty zhang. The old ghost of the black sky uncovered the robe on his upper body, threw it away indiscriminately, raised his head extremely rudely, glanced at the black-clothed mage opposite with his eyes, and snorted a few times.

More than a dozen extremely handsome horses suddenly galloped from the rear of the Celestial Empire camp, running back and forth on the small high ground behind, and the knights on the horses raised a small variegated flag, constantly doing all kinds of difficult horse stunts.

Strongen quickly summoned back the mage who had gathered a large cloud of red fire in his hand, and asked in a fierce voice at Qiongdao, "Do you want to attack us treacherously? Didn't you say that it is strictly forbidden to move the army during the game? Since you suddenly showed your military strength, don't blame us for being polite." ”

More than a dozen fireballs suddenly flashed into the sky and exploded in the air, and the knights of the three major cavalry legions of 'Nightmare', 'Bloody Night', and 'Shenghua' roared towards them, and the flashes of their swords wielding in the air could be seen from a distance.

Qiong Daotian was shocked and asked urgently: "Who told them to come up suddenly?" ”

General Long roared angrily: "No matter, anyway, they were the first to attack, it's not our fault, let's fight back." Gnu had drawn his greatsword and was ready to charge at the heavily armed Strongen.

Qiong Daotian nodded fiercely, and Nu hummed: "Beckon the army behind to come up, have a good fight with them, and go back to find out who ordered these cavalry to come up, and deal with them for a crime of lax management of the army and violation of military orders." Suddenly, just a short distance away, countless earth pits suddenly appeared, and the covers were lifted one by one, and a large group of infantry from the Black Cloud Empire rushed out with a roar.

Yang Tianyi spread his hands and shouted: "Fuck, they have dug so many pits to hide the soldiers in seven days, damn it, they just want to eat us in one bite, and now the brigade behind us will take at least two teas to rush up, and they are now at least more than 100,000 people." ”

The muscles on Qiong Daotian's face twitched a few times, and he grabbed his golden war spear fiercely, and was about to be the first to rush out, and shouted wildly in his mouth: "Tianchao Erlang, fight to the death." ”

A cold voice came from afar: "If the Heavenly Dynasty Erlang fights to the death, Ben Shuai is reluctant." ”

Tens of thousands of fireballs suddenly appeared in the sky with a roar, and fell far away in the herd of horses of the three major legions that were charging forward. Fragments of flesh and limbs flew out with firelight and thunderous explosions, and more than 30,000 elite knights were killed in this volley.

The boundless cavalry brigade suddenly flashed from the flat ground behind the Celestial Empire, they waved colorful variegated flags, each cavalry did not have too much tactical cooperation with their companions around them, but looking at their super flexible movements on horseback, anyone could tell that they were the most feared knights.

Strongen made the decision immediately: "Retreat, retreat, cut down those soldiers who spy on the army, isn't the Celestial Empire just ambushing half a million infantry behind? Why are so many cavalry appearing?" He was the first to mount his war horse and roared away.

The cavalry charging formation of the three legions of 'Nightmare', 'Bloody Night', and 'Shenghua' had long been in tatters, and those long-trained war horses could not withstand such a terrifying shelling for a while, so they jumped up one after another, and the acting commanders of the three legions saw Strongen and the others flying back, and did not wait for the order, and immediately ordered the horse's head to be turned, and retreated together in the direction of 'Red Rock' City.

The unfortunate thing is that the Black Cloud soldiers who have been wronged in the cave for several days have no energy, and now they are ruthlessly abandoned by their commander, and the ambush soldiers of less than 70,000 people were instantly annihilated by the cavalry brigade of more than one million. Qiong Daotian opened his mouth wide: "Oh my God, they, when did they arrive?"

Long Feng flicked his fingers lightly, Wen Dashuai was really calm, he arrived two days earlier, and he actually dispatched the army in a timely manner, and pushed five thousand artillery pieces up...... The cannon roared, and the three major legions that were fleeing continued to have knights, men and horses, and were bombed into the sky. It's really pitiful to say, the three major knight legions have never really fought with the Celestial Empire army at all, and a large amount of combat power has been consumed in the successive tricks of the Celestial Empire army.

Wen Yuan, who was dressed in gold armor, brought thousands of generals to ride horses with smiles, saluted Qiong Daotian, and said a little ashamedly: "Qiong Shuai, I'm really sorry." His Majesty has recruited more craftsmen and built a large number of ships in succession, and we have to wait for the completion of the new ships before we come together. Seems to be fine, haven't you made a mistake yet?"

Qiong Daotian was overjoyed, pounced on Wen Yuan and almost pulled Wen Yuan off the horse, laughed loudly and said, "It's not wrong, it's not wrong...... Haha, haha, damn it, you're finally here, I've almost died of hunger strike in the past two months, and if you don't come again, they'll drive my brother and me crazy. ”

Qiong Daotian almost danced with his hands: "Wen Shuai, you are here, this stall can be handed over to you...... Eh, my heart is finally comfortable, damn, these two months, watching their one million and one million troops, my heart is ......" He breathed a long sigh of relief, and said very easily: "This is comfortable, it's time for them to be uncomfortable." ”

Wen Yuan chuckled, got off the horse and stood side by side with Qiong Daotian, and said with a smile: "We are desperately on the road, but we are afraid that if we encounter wind and waves, we will be sorry for the brothers of the First Army...... Hmmm......"

Wen Yuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Yang Tian with a smile: "General Yang, come here...... I don't know why, more than 3,000 members of the Guards Regiment suddenly returned to Shengjing, and His Majesty actually sent all of them to the Heavenly Prison, do you know the reason?"

Yang Tian leaned over with a smile, and said in a low voice: "Well, Dashuai, think about it, I actually didn't wronged them, they really escaped from the battle, although some of the charges may have been overplaced, but they have all done it to rob people's girls, and I really didn't wronged them...... As for the other charges, I also heard about them, so I added them easily, Your Majesty believes it, but it has nothing to do with me...... Those bastard boys, they actually want to make a desertion for Lao Tzu when the fight officially starts, can you take care of it?"

Wen Yuan laughed a few times, nodded, and didn't speak. Yang Tian touched his head and quickly ran into the soldier team to hide. Wen Yuan was not so kind to overturn the case for those sons, but he just felt that according to Yang Tian's accusations against those sons, how could he have to get a charge of laxity with his own subordinates, just wake him up a little.

When the wind rose, the 1.7 million elite horsemen from the Western Continent chased down the 'Red Rock' city, pretending to besiege the city very proudly, and quickly wandered back before the Black Cloud Empire's army came to help. This pursuit, although it did not cause much damage to the three major legions of the Black Cloud Empire, at least it also showed some majesty, and also made these cavalrymen who were suffocating on their horses breathe.

This time, Wen Yuan's artillery brigade inflicted heavy casualties on the three major legions, a total of more than 50,000 elite knights were killed, and the anxious and angry Stromgen almost vomited blood and fainted like Feng.

When the army returned to the city, a group of soldiers who got down from the troop carriers quickly set up camp around the Heavenly City, this time there were 3 million soldiers, 1.8 million horses, and a total of more than 20,000 ships of various kinds. Many fishing boats were also requisitioned, and after the lids were sealed, they were filled with grain and grass, but fortunately there were no wind and waves, and these small grain and grass boats dragged behind the big boats did not suffer much loss.

It took half a month of chaos to settle down all the second-way armies. There were too many tents, densely packed, and the farthest place was already close to the blockade line of the Black Cloud Empire. Strongen wisely abandoned the city closest to the Celestial Empire's camp, and the Celestial army took it over unceremoniously. Before judging and understanding the strength of the other party, both sides chose to wait and see what happened, and did not attack rashly.

Seeing that the Celestial Empire's camp was getting bigger and bigger, getting closer and closer to his own defense line, Strongen reluctantly gave the order to shrink his forces and reconstruct a defense line. Now that the total strength of the Celestial Empire is close to the army of the Black Cloud Empire, if you still divide your forces to defend these cities, you can only be defeated individually.

Wen Yuan listened to the first round of battle reported by Qiong Daotian, and found that Yang Tian had become the most outstanding person, and under the secret joy in his heart, he did not hesitate to directly promote Yang Tian by two ranks, and became the commander of the Aspect Legion, with an army of 500,000 under his command, and directly recovered the 'River Valley' city abandoned by the Black Cloud Empire.

Yang Tian is now in high spirits, Wen Yuan sees that he takes special care of him in his Lao Tzu's share, and he has indeed made real contributions to a group of sons and brothers of the Guards Regiment, at this moment, he is sitting in the mansion of the most gorgeous nobles in the 'River Valley' City, and wantonly crowning a group of sons and brothers, and the gold and silver ingots that were secretly brought out of the mine are also divided equally in their respective hands.

Strongen will not be bored, he has already begun to think about how to have a good head-to-head battle with the army of the Celestial Empire. One of his staff officers, the one who proposed to him to open a jousting tournament and take the opportunity to kill the generals of the Celestial Empire, was mercilessly imprisoned by Stromgen. Someone has to blame for the loss.
