"Princess Fidoa, do you think that you and your retinue still have considerable authority over the people of your kingdom, or will they be happy to follow you?"

"Yes, I've always believed so. Our subjects of the Kingdom of Divine Light are the most loyal people, we love them, and they love us. We did not lose the hearts and minds of the people because of our brutality and cruelty, our defeat was simply because the army of the Black Cloud Empire was too strong. ”

Wen Yuan showed a hint of a smile, ignoring Yang Tian, who was standing beside him and almost drooling at Fidoya, nodded and promised: "Then, as long as you can cooperate with us to appease the people of the Original Divine Light Kingdom and let them passively assist the army of the Black Cloud Empire, we will allow your kingdom to retain its reading power." ”

Yang Tian came from the 'River Valley' city overnight, and hurriedly nodded and said to Fidoya with a smile: "Yes, yes, you only need to send a few ministers out to contact the former nobles and people, and ask them to put some poison or something in the grain and grass supplied to the Black Cloud Empire, it will be a great help." ”

Fidoya smiled at Yang Tianyan and nodded gently. Wen Yuan's eyebrows raised slightly, glanced at Yang Tian, and frowned slightly. The murderous aura in Long Feng's eyes flashed, and he returned to normal in an instant.

Wen Yuan ordered: "You are ready, we will do our best to force them back a thousand miles and leave us enough land." After that, it is the land of the former Divine Light Kingdom, and it will be the turn of Her Royal Highness Princess Fidoa and those loyal to you. Take advantage of our morale to be right, kill ......" The generals promised to step out of the Shuaifu, lead their guards, and gallop out.

The heralds galloped frantically in the camp that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the wolf smoke used to lead the troops rose into the sky, and hundreds of black-clothed monks and apricot-colored danshi floated into the sky one after another, and the light flashed rapidly. In the sound of the 'rumbling' drums, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire, such as black clothes and black armor, gold helmets and gold armor, silver robes and silver armor, and other different costumes, drove out of the camp one by one, gathered into a thick iron stream, and rushed towards the 'Red Rock' city.

Huge catapults, crossbows, and new and old artillery, surrounded by bands of soldiers, followed the brigade away. The nine thousand disciples of the Black Sky Old Ghost were arrogantly more than ten feet above the ground, and they all flew in the air. The cavalry of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' and a large number of cavalry from the western continent slowly marched on both sides of the infantry. The 2.3 million army was engaged in this deterrent activity.

The soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire were frightened by the arrival of reinforcements from the Celestial Empire, and watched as a large number of troops came towards the 'Red Rock' city where Strongen and their high-ranking officials were located, and a large number of cavalry galloped out of the three nearby cities. Immediately, the cavalry of the Celestial Empire, totaling more than one million, divided into three teams and brutally met the past.

The thousands of artillery pieces marching in the ranks were immediately set up, and after a little calibration, they let out an angry roar at the enemy brigade a few miles away, and the smoke of gunpowder filled the air, and clusters of fire rose from the ground, and countless black cloud cavalry screamed and fell from their horses, and the blood mixed with the dirt, staining the whole earth purple. The dense crossbow arrows, like a waterfall of metal, continued to pour down towards the cavalry of the black cloud, and the bows and arrows falling from the sky had amazing power, and countless cavalrymen were shot through the body, or nailed to the ground.

With the order of the old ghost of the black sky, five thousand black qi swept out, and the entire heaven and earth immediately turned into a miserable ghost, and the remaining four thousand disciples frantically absorbed the anger and resentment of the undead, and continuously injected into the yin soul tower of the old ghost of the black sky.

Yang Tian led a group of his own direct troops, and watched the lively battle in front of him with weakness. Gnu was itching all over his body, and complained, "Why do we want to defend the city instead of us cutting people?" Zeng Guoxuan smiled and said, "Uncomfortable? Then find a girl to put out the fire...... Hahaha...... "For no need to go to the battlefield, this group of sons and brothers are very happy."

Long Feng gently rode his horse to Yang Tian's side, and whispered: "Be careful, although Wen Yuan takes better care of you in front of that Lao Tzu, he is still loyal to the Celestial Empire. It doesn't matter if you and that princess go to chuang, just don't be discovered by him, otherwise, you may be transferred back to the Celestial Empire. ”

Yang Tian's eyes were cold, and he said coldly: "Wen Yuan and I don't have any feelings." When the time comes, it will be done, anyway, no matter how many people there are around him, you can do it, right?" Long Feng nodded, and suddenly exclaimed loudly: "I always thought that those countries in the Western Continent had no combat effectiveness, but now it seems that it is not bad." ”

The heavily armored cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire were falling off their horses one by one. The cavalry brigade of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' was like the hardest awl, cutting into a black cloud cavalry team and sweeping over. And those cavalrymen from the nomadic countries of the Western Continent were wrapped in simple leather armor, and the bows and arrows in their hands were also simple but the most suitable for themselves. They were not in the habit of confronting the enemy head-on, and scattered into small groups of cavalry, and shot down the enemy with inferior mobility from a distance with long arrows. In comparison, although the 'Tiger Wolf Army' has superhuman combat strength, many people have been injured, but these cavalrymen who fought guerrilla warfare have not been injured yet.

Yang Tian suddenly snickered: "These cavalry, they will definitely return to the Western Continent in the future, right? If they knew, the army of the Celestial Empire could also be slowly shot to death one by one like these cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire, what do you think they would think?"

Long Feng smiled and said softly, "Then, I also need you to light a fire for them." How can you say that you are also the prince of Saint-Dore, and they are still your own people. ”

Yang Tian nodded, slapped his seat hard, and shouted loudly: "Brothers, let them kill here, let's go back to the 'River Valley' city, damn, the girl by the river is distressing." A group of boys laughed, mixed with a hint of indescribable silver obscenity, and this team of more than 10,000 people stepped out sideways, and easily solved a Black Cloud Cavalry team of less than 200 people.

The commander of the Black Cloud Empire's cavalry team immediately assigned a team of more than 20,000 people to hunt down Yang Tian and them, and he thought that Yang Tian's team was going to attack his rear. Long Feng threw hundreds of huge fireballs out, blowing up the pursuing team on their backs, and was instantly solved by the cavalry of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army'.

At the head of the 'Red Rock' city, the generals of the Black Cloud Empire looked solemnly at the siege team that was still slowly moving forward under the constant harassment and impact of the Black Cloud Empire's cavalry brigade. Strongen sighed: "Their equipment is much better than ours, their artillery, our national strength, is only five hundred, this battle, there is no way to fight." ”

As the new army arrived, a prince who was in charge of the war asked puzzledly: "We have more troops than them, and we are also the elite of a hundred battles, so we can't deal with them?"

Tungulas patiently explained: "Your Highness, if it is a field battle, then we have a certain advantage, but they will definitely not fight with us in the field. If we go out of the city to attack, then they will defend the city, and if we are in the city, they will rely on superior siege equipment to attack the city, and there is nothing we can do against them. ”

Stromgen sighed, "If we have the same artillery as them, then we can play them fairly." Our soldiers are not weaker than them. Fight them first, then abandon the city and retreat. ”

Tunggulas agreed: "Rely on natural danger and defend ...... with them"

The prince was angry: "Are you going to retreat all the time, to retreat back to Yanjing? Are you nobles of the empire or knights of the empire, do you want to give up all glory and retreat to your mansion like a ghost afraid of death, and hide in the skirts of your wives and concubines to tremble?"

The prince's words were so ugly that Strongen's eyes widened, and a powerful and terrifying momentum surged all over his body, and he said word by word: "We are not defeated, we really can't move the strategic surname." Your Highness, if the Empire provides us with the same artillery as theirs, we can fight fairly, otherwise, for the sake of the lives of the Empire's soldiers, we must find another warplane. ”

The prince almost sat on the floor, and Strongen's momentum was too terrifying. "Actually, they probably have more than 5,000 guns, and if we can take out their artillery, this would be ideal." If you use surprise troops to ambush, this combat goal can still be achieved. Of course, we have to speed up our own artillery production. They had already suffered on their continent in the north, but a large amount of the Empire's funds were donated to the temple, and the development of artillery was ......"

The eyes of the ** masters of several temples emitted a strange red light, and they said angrily: "Do you doubt the great god? Shouldn't you give money to the great god and let the great god bless the empire? If you don't develop enough artillery, it's because your military people are incompetent, do you want to use this excuse to insult the temple?"

Stromgen pushed away Tunggulas, whose hand was already on the hilt of the sword, and smiled at several ** divisions: "Lord Tunggulas didn't mean that, please forgive me, forgive me, now the soldiers are pressing, Tunggulas, you are going to take people out to attack for a while, anyway, after their men and horses approached, they didn't dare to fire indiscriminately." ”

Tunggulas puffed up and agreed, and went down the tower. A small group of cavalry of the Celestial Empire galloped back and forth near the city gate, looking at the armor on their bodies, they were all low-status middle and lower-ranking officers or lowest-ranking cavalrymen.

The prince of the war poked out his head and pointed curiously, "These people are those aliens? What strange costumes, can they defeat our empire?"

Strongen smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "Of course not, dear prince......"

In that small cavalry team, a lean man suddenly took out a strange-shaped giant bow, mounted a long steel arrow, and drew the bowstring, and then, before the sound of the arrow breaking through the air, the prince's head had an extra transparent hole, and a small injection of blood shot out. The cavalry squad cheered, and quickly turned the horse back, General Li was very proud, he saw Strongen saluting the prince, and subconsciously released an arrow at him, the person who can make the commander of a country bow must be a person with status, right?

Strongen was stunned, the surrounding Black Cloud Empire generals were stunned, and the ** masters of several temples were also stunned. This prince is the most favored royal family of the emperor of the Black Cloud Empire, and now, in front of them, the prince was shot to death by the archers of the other party, and everyone present will be charged with a little crime.

Strongen shouted wildly: "Dark arrows hurt people, you come, come and duel with me." There was a 'gurgling' sound in the Prince's throat, and he fell to the ground with a bang, as if a mountain had collapsed and slammed into the hearts of those present. A commander-level general asked, "How is it possible, that archer is at least one hundred and fifty zhang away from here in a straight line, and the strongest archer in the empire can't ......."

Strongen took a long breath and said coldly, "I remember him, the most powerful and despicable archer among the aliens. He remembered the first time he fought with the Celestial Empire army, the arrow that almost let the sword infused with powerful fighting spirit in his hand get out of his hand, that is, that arrow, which opened a skylight on the ass of the imperial envoy last time.

The siege army of the Celestial Empire slowly camped ten miles away from the city, and nearby, nearly two million cavalry clashed and assassinated each other on the battlefield within a radius of 100 miles, but the siege army of the Celestial Empire ignored these and set up camp in an orderly manner. To the surprise of the Black Cloud Emperor's [***] side, the Celestial Empire army did not rely on vigor to attack the city.

Only 300,000 defenders were left in Heavenly City, and the other armies all drove to a distance of thirty miles from the cities garrisoned by the Black Cloud Empire, faintly threatening their flanks and preventing them from having the courage to rashly support 'Red Rock' City. The offensive and defensive battle of 'Red Rock' City is about to start again, the only difference is that the Celestial Empire's containment army has received a strict order to prohibit fighting, they just need to make a big noise nearby.

Yang Tian's 'River Valley' City has become a lonely city near the cities occupied by the three Black Cloud Empires, with a total of 500,000 troops under his command, and the Black Cloud Army in the three nearby cities exceeds 1.3 million, but they can only watch Yang Tian's subordinates wander around the city, their troops cannot conquer the 'River Valley' City, and their duties do not allow them to risk the fall of the city, desperately rescue the 'Red Rock' City, and the two sides are at a stalemate.

The battle on the cavalry side lasted for three hours, and when the horses on both sides were tired, both sides collected their troops at the same time, and the supporting Black Cloud Emperor [***] could not break through the barrier of the Celestial Empire army, and the Celestial Empire army watched with satisfaction as their army faintly separated the 'Red Rock' city from the reinforcements. Calm down, Strongen had already begun to think about how to make the army retreat safely, and there were more than 600,000 troops in the 'Red Rock' city and the two large battalions in the south, but he was not worried that it would be quickly conquered by the Celestial Empire.

The siege army of the Celestial Empire was delayed under the city for three days, and these three days were like a year for the entire Black Cloud Emperor [***], and all the armies were waiting to see the results of the first confrontation, but the Celestial Empire just didn't move, and these elite Black Cloud soldiers who had been through a hundred battles couldn't help but feel a little nervous in their hearts. Some of these soldiers who had fought against the Celestial Empire army in the Western Continent also began to recall the fiasco at that time, which also slightly affected the morale of the Black Cloud Empire.

In Long Feng's room, a huge sand table was placed, and seeing that there were more than 10 million armies from both sides gathered within a range of only a thousand miles, plus the number of local residents, Long Feng sighed depressedly: "This population density is on par with the most perverted modern city on the earth. With such a small battlefield, there is no way to deploy troops...... There are still three armies coming over, damn it, how should I play when the time comes?Isn't it time to suggest ......" He rushed to find Yang Tian.

In less than a meal, Yang Tian sent a herald and passed one of his documents to Wenyuan's camp. It suggested that the three-way army should not continue to drive here, but avoid the traditional sphere of influence of the Black Cloud Empire, and land from another continent where their control is relatively weak, so that the Black Cloud Empire will be exposed to the enemy, and it will also save the number of troops here is too large, and there will be problems in the deployment.

Wen Yuan pondered for a while, quickly wrote a document, explained that he would send it back to Shengjing as quickly as possible, and then gave the order to attack the city.

More than 200 boulders rose from the ground and smashed into the head of the 'Red Rock' city, and a few boulders with insufficient strength reluctantly made love with the outer wall of the city wall, bringing down a large piece of bricks and earth stones, and the head of the city shook a few times. Then, with the sound of flesh and bones cracking, pieces of black cloud soldiers were swept out, and the meat sauce was wrapped in boulders and rolled into the city.

The five thousand artillery pieces slowly raised their bodies and aimed at the city wall of 'Red Rock', although in the eyes of Long Feng, these cannons can only be regarded as some small-caliber field guns, and they are the most primitive kind, but for this world that is still in the age of cold weapons, it is already extremely terrifying firepower.

Stretching for more than five miles, countless fireballs rose from the northern wall of the 'Red Rock' city, and the dull explosion made the entire ground tremble, and the defenders on the city wall let out a terrible scream, but they were completely covered by the sound of cannons.

Under the cover of gunpowder smoke and firelight, more than a dozen baggage carts were quickly pushed under the city wall, which contained more than 3,000 catties of the earth in Longfeng's era. More than 100 soldiers of the Celestial Empire lit the fuse, and then ran desperately towards their camp.

They quickly ran out of more than two hundred zhang, and the zha medicine cart that burned a little faster exploded, and their figures were also swallowed up by a huge fireball. The powerful shock wave blew up a third of the northern walls of the 'Red Rock' city, and then destroyed a large number of buildings inside the city, and these civil and wooden dwellings were simply shattered by the power of this anti-era zha medicine.

Ten miles away from the city, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire felt a powerful heat wave in their faces, as well as a huge tremor on the ground. Wen Yuan and the other senior generals opened their mouths wide and stared blankly at the small, strange mushroom cloud above the 'Red Rock' City.

Yes, more than 20,000 soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire guarding the 'Red Rock' city are deaf for life. Awakened from the sound of the powerful explosions, Strongen and Tunggulas roared and gave the order to retreat completely. When the Celestial Empire army entered the city of 'Red Rock', there were only corpses all over the ground, and tens of thousands of 'Red Rock' residents struggling and moaning on the blood-stained ground.

Wen Yuan was silent for a long time, and then he asked in a low voice, "How many of these zha pills did we bring?"

One of his lieutenants stammered: "Five ships, more than 200,000 catties." ”

Wen Yuan nodded, and ordered: "In the future, the warehouse where these zha medicines are placed must be more than thirty miles away from the base camp, and when marching, the vehicles transported cannot approach the queue for twenty miles, and those who violate the order will be beheaded." The order was quickly delivered.

Yang Tian and the others, who were sitting at the head of the 'River Valley' city drinking, watched the black cloud soldiers slowly leave the city in order, and slowly retreated to the south, and at the same time, a fire broke out in the city. Yang Tian exclaimed: "Fuck, these bastards, they are setting fire to the grain and grass that can't be taken away, rushing to Lao Tzu, to put out the fire...... I burned all the grain and grass, and at most I had no food to eat, and burned all those gold, silver and jewelry......"

Before he finished his words, Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui had already led people to jump from the city, and an unlucky guy sprained his foot, and a strange voice shouted under the city.

Long Feng smiled bitterly on the side, he had just seen everything that happened in the 'Red Rock' City with his divine thoughts, and the Celestial Empire army, which had mastered the Martial Arts, had rashly thrown it into the battlefield without trying its might? More than 3,000 catties*Ah...... They actually put it on like this, and they still used human hands to light the fire.

The Black Cloud Empire retreated very cautiously, giving up large swaths of land. The army of the Celestial Empire slowly saw them off in the back, and at the same time took over the political power along the way, and those who suddenly came out to declare themselves to be the nobles of the kingdom of such and such were all disposed of by the killers of the secret camp.

Wen Yuan did not dare to order a surprise attack on these retreating Black Cloud Army, they were ready to counterattack at any time, Wen Yuan was unwilling to blindly consume his strength in a battle that could not take advantage, so the two sides were separated by thirty miles, and after walking all the way for more than twenty days, the army of the Black Cloud Empire finally stopped on the other side of a large river in the east-west direction, relying on this river to arrange a new defense line. The Celestial Empire army also stopped, arranging countless forts on this side of the river, and began to prepare for the next assault.

Strongen's letter of request snowflakes was sent to Yanjing, and the Black Cloud Empire began to make the ordnance he needed with all its might. In the letter, Strongen made a judgment based on the current situation: "If within three months, more than 4,000 artillery pieces and the corresponding fire cannot be supplied, the Black Cloud Empire will definitely be destroyed...... Minister, I can only hold on for three months. ”

In order to obstruct the preparations for the Celestial Empire's march, the Black Cloud Empire sent small groups of troops to cross the river at night from time to time to carry out suicidal attacks, but it also burned a lot of ships, timber and other items, which gave the Celestial Empire military a headache for a while......

The only one who has a big heart is Yang Tian and the others, who have been scavenging all the way behind the palace, and there are already a lot of baggage carts in the marching queue, which are heavy and not gold or silver, and pearls and treasures. Once back in the Celestial Empire, at least everyone in the Guards Regiment can be rich in the ...... of the first side;
