1374 East Wind Rises (2)

Arina Ze (Dongting language: light)

The sky was overcast, as if it was going to rain, and the air on the border of the steppe was hot and humid, as if it could be wrung out of the water with a handful, a sign of impending heavy rain.

On the edge of the earth outside the city, the black is overflowing the earth, and the tide of people and horses is like a tide of people and horses passing over the high slope less than a thousand meters in front of Arina, and then slowly stops, in front of the black oppressive cavalry tide, is the queue of lightly armed round shield infantry of the Western Army, lined up in a phalanx one after another, closely and strictly and orderly forward, thousands of leather boots neatly pressed the ground, trampling the ground very flat,

60,000 troops, no slogans, no sounds, except for the sound of footsteps one after another, there is no other sound, only countless three-star flags of the Western Army grinning in the wind,

The black array of the Western Army, like a black cloud, covers the sky and the earth, the murderous spirit is strong, and the anger is overwhelming, 5,000 lightly armed infantry holding the grassland round shield are in the front, in the middle are 10,000 Dongting heavy armor and 20,000 Dongting archers used to suppress the city wall, and the black wings spread out on both wings are 20,000 black cavalry,

This is the usual siege queue of the Dongting people, with light infantry to bully the city wall, and then use the archers to suppress, the light infantry looking for an opportunity to break the city gate, as long as the city gate is broken, the two wings of the Dongting cavalry will pour in like a flood, and occupy the entire city,

With the advent of the Western Army,

Knock! knock! knock!" "In the distance, there was a burst of heart-wrenching drumbeats on the city wall, and the city was crowded with people, and countless archers stood in the prominent position of the city wall, and the cold and killing sky seemed even darker.

The mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings, and suddenly, the wind blew between the two armies, and the wind swept all the dead branches and leaves on the land into the sky, and then threw them down fiercely, shrouding the world in a desolation. Rui Tang Tingna's military flag and the fluttering Western army flag were also blown by the wind, like the war drums about to beat,

"What's going on?"

On the city wall, Rui Tangtingna's subordinates were talking to each other, no one knew what the Western Army was suddenly killing for, this was the war between the Dongting people and the Dongting people, and they knew each other from the beginning, and the two armies had a tacit understanding to keep this distance from each other

"These bastards of the Western Army are really here!"

Rui Tang Tingna watched this scene from the city wall, and the little pink fist hit the battlements heavily in anger, and the wind brought a cool breath to the earth. Although the wind that blows on people's cheeks is basically muggy, it can take away more heat.

However, no one felt that their hearts were beginning to calm down, on the contrary, many people felt more arrogant and restless in their hearts, and they all felt that today's weather was abnormal, as if it was going to suffocate people, and the sudden arrival of the wind carried an extremely bad omen.

This city was only built in winter. Located on the side of the bend of the rushing Arina River, the city is undoubtedly majestic for the people of Dongting, who are accustomed to the life of the steppe, with more than five miles of walls and a moat filled with water.

Four bridges form an accessible avenue at the main gate, from the outermost two acropolises to the main city inside, like a huge character. At the corner of the city road, there is a battlement hole that is conducive to the shooting of thousands of archers, and it can be described as impregnable in terms of defense. Even in the face of more than twice the number of troops, there is room to persevere, and if there is enough food, even if it is more than enough to hold out for more than a year

But Rui Tang Tingna knows that this qiē is based on concentric defense, and if there is a mistake, it is likely to cause the collapse of the whole line, and her biggest difficulty lies in this.

The hearts of the people are separated from the belly, and when it comes to playing tricks, they are too far away from the two old slippery heads of the eastern and western armies, and the other party can easily insert the inner line in, which is enough to prove how dangerous it is to blindly accept the strategy he adopted before, and the other party only needs a small means to easily bury all his efforts!

She had received the letter from the fat man, and in shock and appallation,

If the chief of the Daoue clan is the inner line of the western army, then what about the eastern army? Judging from the silence of both sides in the Ariko incident, it can be seen that the eastern army must be ambushing on its side, but who will it be? Ariston, Balk, Angus?......

Rui Tang Tingna felt that she was going crazy these days, it turned out that playing alone was such a tiring thing, not counting others, it doesn't mean that she won't be calculated by others, and she doesn't know how the stupid fat man survived at the beginning, what a terrible thing it represents behind the name of mainland domination

"Where's Dau Episa?" Rui Tang Tingna stopped at the defensive tower at the city gate, as if thinking of something, suddenly turned her head to look, and asked the leaders of several tribes who were following her, "I saw him just now, maybe I went to mobilize troops!" A patriarch looked left and right, and replied unexpectedly, "Find him, bring him here!" Rui Tang Tingna said with a little blue and cold on her face, at this moment, the sudden disappearance of the Dau É patriarch made her feel an ominous feeling rose in her heart, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you have something to do with me?" After a while, Dau Ébisa, whose face was a little unnatural, appeared in front of Rui Tang Tingna, "It's nothing, sit down first!" Rui Tang Tingna made a gesture to him to sit down, waved his hand to the other group patriarchs, and everyone withdrew from the door "Now?" Dau Ébisa's face changed, and his eyes looked out hesitantly, as if he was worried about something,

The war drums rumbled at the head of the city, and the armor of the soldiers who moved back and forth made a gurgling sound, constantly drifting past the door, all of which showed that the attack of the western army outside was imminent, and the location of the city gate as the main attack direction was too dangerous to stay, "Is there a problem? Or do you have anything to say?" Rui Tang Tingna's cold gaze shot over like a sword, "I came to you because I have the most important thing to entrust to you, the city gate is the most critical place to defend the city, I need a trustworthy person, I decided to be responsible for you!" "Me? This...... The city gate is related to the center of gravity of this defense line, and it has always been the personal guard of His Highness, and the subordinate tribes have limited combat strength, so I am afraid that they will not be able to bear it" Dawu Ebisa sweated in his head, and his face became a little pale, "Don't worry, I will send a team of overseers to assist you, if you dare to retreat, kill" Rui Tang Tingna sneered at the corner of her mouth with a bit of arrogance

"No, I think Your Highness misunderstood, I mean I can't keep ......" Dau Ebiza reached out again and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, a little nervous preface that didn't match the afterword

"Is it that you can't hold it, or are you afraid that when you open the city gate, you will be killed by the cavalry of the Western Army who rushed in from the opposite side!" Rui Tang Tingna leaned forward with a strong killing intent on her face, like a female leopard with her fangs baring (to be continued. )
