Chapter six hundred and seventy-ninth the spring breeze shakes the wasteland
An arrow shot came from the south!
As a result, more arrows sounded in the spring breeze! Swish, swish, and soon it turned into a rain of arrows!
No, this is not a rain of arrows, but meteors and bolides streaking across the sky!
The Southern Xinjiang cavalry, less than 200 feet away from the trench, began to move, forming a long snake formation and shooting a shower of arrows toward the seventh pass!
Every iron arrow is coated in kerosene!
At this time, the vanguard general was still waving to the generals on the left and right in the trench, but he was only a hundred feet away from the trench, and the general was still thinking about whether to go up and have a drink with this guy!
The soldiers who had already started to make a fire were not prepared at all. Suddenly, the enemy's arrows flew to their heads.
"Enemy attack!" The alert soldiers shouted, and immediately picked up the shields around them to protect their bodies.
This is the subconscious self-protection gained by experienced soldiers when they were on the verge of death.
Several of the guards behind Yun Lin also instantly raised their iron shields to block the falling rockets for the general!
The right general Wang Yijian looked at the rain of arrows in the sky and murmured: "Look, it's coming!"
Before Zuo General Murong Wudi could say anything, thousands of arrows had already rained down, and in just an instant, there was a "Boom!" sound rising into the sky!
Then there were explosions one after another!
Amidst the bursts of explosions, the entire wasteland began to shake.
The earthen wall of the seventh pass kept shaking, and then a large piece of stone was blown into the air.
The burning flames came overwhelmingly like a tide, instantly drowning the soldiers on the trench.
The soldiers of Nanyun City abandoned the seventh trench, but when the enemy had no time to cheer or check and clean up, they detonated countless large pits hidden underground.
That's right, this is Nalanyu's secret plan as well as his clear plan!
The six trenches in front are all clean, there are only trenches to resist the enemy, and there are no large pits for burying people.
The seventh trench was different. After letting the enemy taste the sweetness, the Southern Xinjiang army finally explored countless deep pits under the seventh trench.
After two to three years of fermentation, the deep pit here has accumulated an unknown amount of methane gas, and the door to death has been opened before the army evacuated.
As long as the vanguard generals are more vigilant, and as long as the Nanhai soldiers who set foot in the trenches are more careful, they will not miss the faint smell in the wind.
Only the right general, who was like a wild wolf, sensed the danger in the wind and stopped the army temporarily to rest under the trenches.
Even so, nearly one-third of the 50,000-strong army, led by the vanguard general, stepped into the enemy's trenches!
So, amid the explosions, the Nanhai soldiers who had not yet set foot in the trenches tried their best to evacuate to the rear!
Together with Murong Wudi and Wang Yijian, if the army does not leave this place, they may be affected by the boundless sea of fire!
Although the vanguard general at the center of the explosion was not injured by the rain of arrows falling from the sky, he was knocked down from the trench by the first explosion and fell to the dirt without knowing whether he was alive or dead.
In the first battle after the beginning of spring, the Nanhai army swept southward with lightning speed and continued to invade southern Xinjiang.
The southern Xinjiang army retreated to defend, and finally detonated the first thunder since the war began!
The thunder is rolling, and the enemy is about to be destroyed!
The continuous explosion quickly spread to the trenches, and some Nanhai soldiers who had no time to retreat were also blown up into the air.
Most of them tried their best to escape towards the three towns.
Such an explosion is far from comparable to the thunderous thunder in the South China Sea. It is a force that shakes the earth and the mountains, and no one can resist it!
Amidst the earth-shattering cries, the wails of the war horses, and the bursts of explosions, the surrounding trenches in the wasteland suddenly turned into a hell.
In the previous battles, because the grassland army had been informed, the South China Sea army had enough time to remove the large pits buried in the wasteland one by one and detonate them.
Therefore, the South China Sea Army did not have such a painful experience!
Until this moment, the grassland soldiers mixed in the army would have returned to that earth-shattering battlefield.
The Imperial Master of Southern Xinjiang was at the head of Nanyun City when he detonated dozens of large pits in the wasteland, causing hundreds of thousands of grassland cavalry to flee back to the three towns of Southern Xinjiang overnight.
No one could have imagined that even though one's own side was very careful, it still failed to escape the opponent's plot.
Zuo General Murong Wudi, who had already fled far away, looked at Wang Yijian and said: "This is a sudden disaster. Let the messenger report everything here to the military advisor at the post."
So, with the war horse roaring, Juechen rode towards the inn.
The two of them watched the news unfold and were helpless. Although they knew that the seventh trench had been laid, the price was more painful than every previous war.
After an unknown amount of time, soldiers from Nanhai carried over the seriously injured Pioneer General.
Looking at Yun Lin who was blown to pieces, Wang Yijian stepped forward and held his hand. After a while, he murmured: "Fortunately, it's just a flesh wound, it won't kill you."
The southern Xinjiang army under the explosion did not stop for a moment. After firing a hail of arrows and detonating the battlefield, they quickly retreated.
A gust of wind passed over the wasteland after the explosion, leaving only a thick stench and lingering blood.
Murong Wudi looked up to the sky and shouted: "You and I are at odds with each other!"
Wang Yijian shook his head and said softly: "Arrange the soldiers to send the injured brothers to the inn. Let's wait here for the arrival of the military advisor."
Before the messengers could arrive at the inn, Shang Donglin and others had already heard the earth-shattering explosion ahead and the flames burning into the sky.
The general went to Xuan and looked ahead, speechless, thinking that he had finally been tricked by his opponent.
After a while, the messenger brought the news from the front, and a flame burned in the Nanhai army, shocking the entire army waiting here.
The military advisor's response was extremely rapid. Shang Donglin used great courage to issue several military orders in succession, ordering the soldiers who were on the seventh trench to evacuate and set up camp on the wasteland 200 feet below the trench.
He also asked the army in the direction of the inn to send 20,000 troops and set up a second line of defense one mile away from the seventh trench.
Yun Zhongchen, who was silent, watched quietly as the Imperial Preceptor issued orders one after another for the battle ahead. He turned around and said to General Yun Xuan, "Let's go into the room to discuss."
What shocked the soldiers was that Yun Zhongchen didn't care about the explosion ahead. In his opinion, it was all the fault of the forward general.
Thinking that the enemy had abandoned the trenches, he grabbed an advantage and completely forgot about his previous tactics!
In the living room of the inn, Yun Zhongchen only said a few words before asking Shang Donglin and the general to quiet down.
"Send someone to warn Wang Danian that if there is something wrong with the military rations sown outside the three towns, I will behead him!"
"General, go to the battlefield. According to our battle plan last year, we will first clear the road and then prepare to attack the eighth trench."
…
Ever since the Nanhai army entered the three towns in southern Xinjiang, Yun Zhongchen's attitude towards the generals has always been very gentle.
The reason why he is showing his tough side now is because he knows that Nanyun City's opponents are not that simple.
He once discussed the Battle of Beihai with Duanmu Ruolan and learned about the merciless nature of the Imperial Imperial Guard. However, it was obvious that the Imperial Guard was old and could not go to the battlefield in person again.
Only the imperial generals who sit in Nanyun City are the real threat to the Nanhai army.
He knew very well that the army he led had accumulated countless experiences after several battles in the past year. As long as he moved forward step by step.
It won't be long before summer arrives, and when I approach Nanyun City, I will unleash unimaginable destructive power.
It's just Nanyun City, but it can't stop him from marching south. I'm determined.
At least this winter, he will drink a bottle of wine in Nanyun City and wait for the next year to continue fighting!
Therefore, the explosion in front of them is a warning to these generals that the enemy is not all pig-brained. If they are not careful, the enemy will die with one arrow.
Although the general could not fully understand Yun Zhongchen's decision, he also knew that the Nanhai army could not advance rashly at the moment. The vanguard general was probably dazzled by the victory today.
Thinking about the next few battles, he also felt a touch of fatigue and a faint fear, but it just passed through his heart and was not seen by Shang Donglin and Yun Zhongchen.
After all, he is the general of the South China Sea Army, second only to Yun Zhongchen and Shang Donglin. He also bears a lot of responsibility for today's battle.
If he had been told to be more careful before setting off... But what he didn't expect was that the right general Wang Yijian had already been very careful, otherwise today's casualties would have been even greater.
Yun Xuan's heart was slightly frightened, but his expression did not change much. He looked at Yun Zhongchen and asked: "When will we continue to launch the attack?"
Yun Zhongchen glanced at Shang Donglin and said quietly: "First clean up the thirty miles of wasteland ahead."
…
Yun Zhongchen's order, together with a handwritten letter from military advisor Shang Donglin, was delivered to Wang Danian of Xichun City.
In the letter, Shang Donglin mentioned the changes ahead, emphasized the importance of the military rations that had been sown outside the three towns to the South China Sea army, and asked him to send an army to patrol at all times!
It's just like the battlefield, even more severe than the battlefield, because one bad thing is that many soldiers' heads fell to the ground.
After Wang Danian read Shang Donglin's letter, he began to read the general's military situation.
Compared with Shang Donglin's harsh words, asking him to protect the cultivation of military supplies at all costs, the military situation ahead made him even more frightened.
After a long time, he said to himself in a daze: "I didn't expect that you let him go six times, but you tricked the vanguard general in the seventh round. This is really a boat capsized in the gutter!"
He naturally knew the importance of the military food cultivated in front of him to the army, and he had already arranged for different soldiers to patrol the fields every hour.
In this case, we really have to change the inspection back and forth once every half an hour.
After all, this is not a front-line battle. Patrolling the fields is just a matter of putting in more effort so as not to cost one's life.
Thinking of this, he yelled outside the hall: "Come on, follow me to the outside of the city."
There was a shocking incident ahead, and he didn't dare to cause any trouble at the rear at this time.
The worst thing is to make the army smaller and have small groups of people constantly patrolling the fields. Not even a bird can be made to fly away.
…
Nalanyu at the head of Nanyun City looked towards the direction of the wasteland and remained silent.
Yang Kaiyi came from Kaifeng City and looked at him nervously, looking in the direction of the wasteland in confusion.
There is no force in the Five Regions that can defeat the Imperial Dynasty, even Feixian Island in the South China Sea. As long as Nanyun City can survive this summer, it will eventually win.
Regardless of whether hundreds of thousands of cavalry from the grassland invaded the three towns in the south, they were finally driven out of the three towns in southern Xinjiang under the leadership of the national division and signed a treaty under the city.
Thinking of this, Yang Kaiyi couldn't help but ask: "Does the current Lan Family Royal Court and Jiankun Royal Court consider themselves to be treacherous and tearing up the armistice agreement they signed with the National Preceptor?"
Nalan Yu thought for a moment and said coldly: "When they provided war horses for the South China Sea Army, they had already torn up the agreement."
Yang Kaiyi couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "Aren't they afraid of reincarnation?"
Nalanyu pointed forward and replied: "Today's battle, isn't it just to let them taste what reincarnation is?"
