Chapter 104: Choice
"Your Highness, our army is gathered in the city, I'm afraid it's in danger!" said Kazuo Bloody Fury as he hurried behind Ha Mai and said in a deep voice.
He led the remnants of the knights and hurried south to find out the situation of the half-elven cavalry. After learning the movement of the main army behind him, Jia Nan's face changed greatly, and he didn't dare to delay, so he hurried all the way to the city.
After asking where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was, he rushed to the north gate wall.
Yu Wu turned his head blankly, looking at him with an anxious expression, not knowing why he said such a thing. Your own forces are not superior, and your morale is low, shouldn't you just stand in the city and defend it!
"Your Highness! There are no Qinling people in Pingman City, and now there are no buildings that are even a little sheltered! Let's stay in the city with tents, we are lambs to be slaughtered! Could it be that Your Highness has forgotten the black magic fire of the Qinling people!" Jia Nan didn't care about Yu Wu's face, and hurriedly talked about the original magic fire.
With a bang, Yu Wu's face instantly turned white!
Nearly 100,000 soldiers died tragically!
"Quick! Quickly order the army to get out of the city!" After reacting, Yu Wuhua's face changed color, and he hurriedly ordered Jia Nan to hurry up and give the order!
At this moment, the deafening sound of war drums sounded under the city, and several people turned their heads to look, only to see that the Qinling army split their camps, formed several huge phalanxes outside the city, and surrounded the Pingman City.
The heavy infantry carried large shields, behind them rows of pikemen, and behind them were archers, in a large phalanx of neat formations towards the four walls.
It doesn't matter, the key is that no less than 100,000 iron horsemen move randomly behind each phalanx to defend against their own impact.
A creaking sound rang out from the camp outside the city, and thousands of improvised trebuchets had been assembled, and appeared behind the northern formation of the city, pushed by a pair of foot soldiers.
"Goo!" Jia Nan swallowed a mouthful of spit with difficulty, and his eyes revealed a thick look of despair.
It's late! It's late!
Nearly 600,000 hedgehogs are gathered in the city, and even if the four gates are opened, I am afraid that they will not be able to leave the city for a while. Not to mention, the various armies in the city, except for some of the troops on duty, were still scattered. If this was a sudden order to leave the city, a major rout was inevitable.
Without waiting for their side to react, the Qinling army had not yet completed the siege, and suddenly rushed in from the west a group of elves, each with wounds, and the number was less than a thousand. The officer at the head stumbled and was supported by his own soldiers towards the northern city wall.
"Woooooooooo......oo Our department was ordered to garrison the Lianyun Mountain Pass to prevent the defenders of Pingmancheng from going out of the mountain, but they were attacked by the heavy cavalry of the Qinling Mountains behind them, and before we could react, the Qinling army in the mountains also rushed out, and our army was defeated in a battle, and the commander of the army, Marquis Bradley, was killed on the spot, leaving us to fight desperately and rush to report the news!" The officer wept and said a qiē that happened last night, and the words he said made Yu Wu feel black in front of her eyes and almost fainted.
It's really a house leak that happened to rain overnight!
"Let me ask you, what banner does that cavalry bear?" Jia Nan suddenly asked.
In his opinion, if he was playing the Eight Banners of the Half-Elves, it might be even better, at least it would mean that the hundreds of thousands of Qinling cavalry behind him had already left! But if it was the Qinling Guards Cavalry Banner led by Zhou Yi in front of him, then the matter would be a big deal!
I don't know if Jia Nan is a crow's mouth, the more he doesn't want to think about it, the more it happens! The officer pointed to the Qinling army under the city with his hand, and said in his mouth: "It's that kind of guard flag!"
Alas, the cavalry of up to 300,000 is still behind him! With them, it will be difficult for Prince Hicks to deliver supplies here!
As they spoke, a large army drove from the direction of the elven rout fleeing from the west. They were waving the banner of the Qinling Empire, and at a glance, they knew that they were the seventh and ninth major armies. At the head was a heavy cavalry, carrying the flag of the Guards Regiment.
In accordance with Zhou Yi's military orders, Wang Baobao concentrated his army, including half-elf recruits, and pulled up 300,000 troops. They waited for the Guards to attack from behind the elven line, and then rushed out of the mountain pass in one go, killing the elves without leaving a single piece of armor. Then he reorganized his troops and hurried to the west of Pingman City.
"Huhuhu......"
This is the trebuchet of the Qinling army that began to start, and the huge stone projectile smashed in the direction of the city wall.
There were more than ten loud noises of "knock knock knock ......", and some of these stone bullets smashed on the open space outside the city, and some smashed on the city wall, shaking the feet of the elves on the city wall.
In the first round of attacks, only a dozen trebuchets were launched, and the purpose was only to calibrate the landing point.
"Magic Legion, defense!" Feather Dance shouted loudly, and more than 20,000 magicians under the city walls chanted spells one after another, and a huge green light shrouded the city in an instant.
Sure enough, after adjusting the angle and strength, thousands of trebuchets started one after another, throwing thousands of stone bullets towards Pingman City, smashing them on the light mask and causing ripples.
"Isn't it a magic fire!?" Yu Wu and the generals on the city wall were surprised, how could it not be a magic fire bomb!
Hundreds of thousands of their own troops were crowded in the city, it was said that this was the best opportunity to use the magic fire bomb, why didn't the Qinling army use that terrible magic fire bomb? Could it be because it was because it was going to consume the magic power of the magic legion! Yes, it must be so! They automatically made up for Zhou Yi's behavior.
It's a pity that even if they guessed that the people of Qinling were going to consume the magic power of the magic legion, they didn't dare to remove the magic defense cover. Because, no one knows if the next wave of Qinling people will be replaced by magic fire bullets, and besides, the threat of these thousands of stone bullets smashing into the city is not small!
Therefore, they can only continue to be smashed with such a big green hat.
Waves of stone bullets were poured on the head of the Pingban City, and the ripples on the smashed defensive cover continued.
The elven army in the city began to form a team, waiting for the final moment. The magic power of the magic legion is not endless, and there will be a time when it will be exhausted. At that time, instead of being burned alive in the city, it is better to rush out and fight, and die on the way to the charge, it is better than to suffer death in the city if you are aggrieved!
Yu Wu was also dressed in a military uniform at this time, she was a magician, holding a magic wand in her hand, and the two daughters of Xueqin and Xue Ling were guarding her with a big sword behind her.
Finally, the magic light shield completely dimmed, and the ordinary mages of the magic legion in the city had exhausted their magic power.
The four thousand high-ranking magicians and several great magicians on the city wall began to chant incantations loudly, and then threw the seeds in their hands outside the city, and under the influence of magic, they grew into towering giant trees, and then suddenly opened their eyes, turned into tree people, and roared loudly towards the sky.
More than 4,000 tree warriors, under the command of the magician, marched towards the Qinling army arrayed outside the city.
"Squeak!" The north gate was opened, and under the command of Jia Nan, the elven army frantically waved the weapons in their hands and poured out of the city, quickly forming a phalanx outside the city gate.
The magic light shield completely dispersed, and this wave of boulders fell right and smashed into the city, provoking a scream.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" the elven officers at all levels roared, urging their sergeants to hurry out of the city.
At this time, another wave of stone bullets fell, causing a crowd to roll on their backs in the city again, and screams everywhere.
"Why?" Feather Dance frowned, she was now completely confused. To say that at the beginning, he used stone bullets to consume the magic defense shield, but now that his purpose has been achieved, why didn't he use magic fire bullets.
Zhou Yi sat on a war horse, standing behind the large array, followed by Min Min and the others, surrounded by the half-elf guards and the masters of the Jinyi Gate.
"The battlefield is ruthless! People like you are soft-hearted, people may not appreciate it!" Min Min said to him, playing with the mane of the war horse with one hand, and pouting at him.
What she said meant was that Zhou Yi did not use oil bombs, but instead used some Rausch stone bombs!
It's not that she is cold-blooded and ruthless, but because there is a charming elf crown prince in the city, so when she said this, she probably reminded Zhou Yi not to make a big mistake because of the other party's gender and appearance!
In fact, she is also opposed to the use of fire oil bombs, that thing is really a big killer weapon right now! If it is put into the city, it is estimated that more than half of the 600,000 elves will be confessed in the city. This is not 600,000 pigs and sheep, but 600,000 living intelligent beings! She really doesn't want to see Zhou Yi become a butcher.
When Zhou Yi heard her words, he just rubbed his chin with a smile and said, "I don't need her to appreciate it! This is a battlefield, and both the enemy and us are their masters! However, I am not willing to let the Kunya Elf Empire and the Qinling Empire end an endless situation because of this matter." After all, these elves have a population of tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, which is a huge race. Unless they are destroyed and destroyed, the blood feud will accumulate more and more, and it will eventually end up killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 themselves. However, if you want me to harden my heart and slaughter so many elves, I can't do it!"
Yishang nodded, smiling and looking at Zhou Yi, although she was a half-elf, she had a blood feud with the elf thousands of years ago. However, she also did not want to see her lover become a butcher with blood on his hands.
"Hmph! Hypocrisy! Right now, you're just slaughtering them in another way!" recognized what Zhou Yi said in his heart, but Min Min's mouth did not admit defeat at all.
"This is different! If you defeat them on the battlefield in a dignified manner, no matter how many kills or wounds there are, it will not arouse monstrous hatred! This is the way recognized on the battlefield of this world! If you don't believe it, you can ask Yishang, if the elves didn't persecute the half-elves on the battlefield a thousand years ago, but killed the half-elves on the battlefield in a dignified manner, would there still be such a great hatred between the two races!" Speaking of this, Zhou Yi pointed at Yishang and said to Minmin.
"Yes! There has always been a hatred for the elves in our half-elf clan, and there is no mention of the grudge against the elves who were killed on the battlefield when they rebelled against the elves, because these ancestors fought as a warrior, and they also fought in the way of warriors! There is nothing to hate! But the elves have slaughtered our people by merchants and other means, so that we will never forget this kind of blood feud!" Without waiting for Min Min to speak, Yishang looked at the barbarian city in front of him and said quietly.
"Alas! It's really complicated, I don't know what you're all thinking! In our place, as long as the war is won, there is no way that is unacceptable!" Min Min can mess with Zhou Yi, and even play a little temper. But for Yishang and Xuan'er, she never goes toe-for-tat, on the one hand, because the second daughter respects her very much, and on the other hand, because she is also a "woman" of Zhou Yi, she, the real lady in the future, must have a little bearing!
At this moment, the massive treemen were approaching. For those who had never seen these tree people before, this was really new! Minmin's eyes were already shining! Is this a dryad!?Can a tree come back to life!?
There are only these questions left in her little head, and she doesn't care about arguing with someone anymore!
