[69 Book Bar - www.] The vanguard of the army has arrived two miles outside the city. It's strange that the army didn't light torches, but if they wanted to make a sneak attack, they shouldn't have made such a loud noise.
The night was still deep, but the troops in the city no longer dared to sleep. All the Chinese troops were stationed outside the south gate. Almost everyone was speculating about the army of unknown origin.
Marquis Wu had already sent out many rebuke troops. At this time, the rebukes came back one by one to report the news. The army set up camp about two miles away from the city, and most of the army continued to advance. They also held banners and watched in the dark.
I don't know. They didn't send messengers to report, but the messengers they sent were like mud cows in the sea, and there was no more news. Then they must be the enemy.
At this time, a rebuke soldier rushed up to the top of the city and shouted: "Your Majesty, no, no, no, no, that's a ghost!"
Marquis Wu reprimanded in the tent: "Big Eagle, kill this useless person who disturbs the morale of the army!"
The man was startled and said: "Junhou, Junhou, those are not human beings, they are all monsters!"
Snake people! That's the snake people army! I had this idea almost immediately. I looked at Lu Gongxing standing next to the first battalion, and he also had a look of shock on his face. Maybe he also suspected that it was a snake.
Let's go to the army. Qi Lie and the others were also a little frightened, but they were not as shocked as I was.
In the tent, Marquis Wu just said solemnly: "Behead!" The big eagle had already walked out of the tent and grabbed the hair of the scold. The scold exclaimed: "Junhou, Junhou, I didn't lie...
…”
Daying didn't let him finish speaking, so he pulled out his knife and chopped off his head with one blow. The blood in his neck was spilled all over the floor. Daying handed the head to a soldier guarding the tent and said: "
Hang this head on the top of the city and give orders."
At this time, Wu Hou came out of the tent. We all knelt on the ground. He looked at us sternly and said loudly: "Soldiers of the forward battalion, no matter who comes, are you confident in defeating them?"
There was a uniform shout from the forward camp: "Yes!"
I was also shouting, but I felt really uneasy in my heart. One snake-man is already so difficult to deal with. If there were really 100,000 snake-men, wouldn't we die without a burial place?
Tan Qing and others who had killed the snake man with me also calmed down at this time. Wu Hou said: "Kaicheng, the forward battalion engages with it, and the Chinese army holds down the position behind."
Wu Hou's tall body stood upright at the top of the city, as majestic as a god. Even if they were really evil spirits from hell, in front of Wu Hou, they would still pretend to be Yi Yi. I smiled mockingly, but I also felt that I was too cowardly.
.
The forward battalion went down to the city in order, mounted their horses, and left the city in an orderly manner. At this time, a horse galloped over from the city. On the horse, I saw that this man was dressed in black armor, and he seemed to be a high-ranking officer.
At this time, the 3rd and 4th Battalions were in the lower city. I was leading my brothers from the 5th Battalion to prepare to assemble in the lower city. The black-armored knight had already rushed towards the city, appearing to be in a hurry. I saw him rushing into the city and kneeling on his knees.
Wuhou came forward and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Xiping has something to ask of your Majesty."
Is he Shen Xiping? I was also a little surprised. Although Shen Xiping was at the forefront during the battle, I had never seen him up close. I was so close to him at this time, and it seemed that he did not
He looks like a fierce general known as "Fire Tiger", but his appearance is very elegant, much like a scholar. I don't know what will happen if I come to see you at this time.
Wu Hou said: "Xiping, what do you have to say?"
At this time, it was our turn to go down to the city. I took eighty-three brothers from the Fifth Battalion down to the city. Behind me, I could no longer hear what Shen Xiping said. As soon as I arrived at the city, I saw a dark crowd standing on the side. There were about five to six hundred cavalry in a group. The leader was Tian Wei. When he saw me, he smiled at me as a greeting.
At this moment, I understood Shen Xiping’s purpose. Shen Xiping had five hundred dragon-scale cavalry, which was equivalent to Wuhou’s forward battalion in the right army. It had always been called the cutting edge army of the empire. What kind of Ping did Shen Xiping have in the past? In the Battle of Chaos, this Dragon Scale Army has always been his magic weapon for charging and winning. This time to pacify the Republic Army, most of the way was to conquer the city, and there were few field battles. His Dragon Scale Army was almost useless, and he has a lot of credit. , the ones belonging to the Right Army are also the least. This time it is a field battle, and Shen Xiping will probably take the credit.
We mounted our horses and walked out of the gate. The soldiers were already stationed under the city gate. When all the forward battalions were assembled, Lei Gu ran out again and loudly shouted in front of the forward battalion: "Commanders of the forward battalion, please listen to the truth. Marquis Wu has ordered. General Shen Xiping, the loyal uncle, will serve as the vanguard, and the forward battalion will temporarily retreat a hundred steps to capture the formation for General Shen."
Sure enough, it came. I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. Maybe it was because of Tian Wei's arrogance and rudeness that still annoyed me. I watched Shen Xiping lead his five hundred dragon scale troops and walked forward through our camp. .
If you look at it without prejudice, Shen Xiping's Dragon Scale Army is indeed a strong force. Each of these five hundred people is strong, and they are all wearing black helmets and black armor. Their weapons are somewhat different from ours, half of them are long Handled sword. Perhaps what the Dragon Scale Army is best at is charging. When charging, the power of a spear is not as powerful as a broadsword.
The sky is already dimly lit, and the light of the torches does not look so bright. Looking from the top of the city, the army is very close. From the bottom of the city, it is still some distance away. From a distance, the dust and smoke are billowing. Almost permeating the entire horizon.
Shen Xiping's Dragon Scale Army set up a square formation a hundred steps away in front of our formation. A hundred steps away, his small army was as small as a drop in the ocean compared to the long line of smoke and dust in the distance. Beside Shen Xiping, Two infantrymen, carrying a bundle of spears, stood beside him.
Shen Xiping is accustomed to throwing spears on the battlefield. There are many generals who use spears. We also practiced throwing spears in the military academy. But the spears generally used are small spears, which are not so much guns as thick and long arrows. Shen Xiping The throwing spear used was a rifle used by ordinary infantry. The spear was five feet five inches long. He had three stable boys, one of whom carried a large spear more than ten feet long for him, and the other two carried twenty throwing spears each. Han Luo He also participated in the battle of genocide. I heard that in the final decisive battle, the Dragon Scale Army took on the important task of charging for the first time. He charged at the front. In that battle, all forty spears were thrown, and each shot killed one person. The morale of Han Luo's army was shaken and their positions were in chaos. The Imperial Army took advantage of the situation and launched a general offensive. If Lu Jingyu's achievements in that war had not been so great, Shen Xiping would have been ranked first in terms of merit after the war.
At this time, the Dragon Scale Army stood in front of the formation like cast iron, with a large flag flying in the wind. But I couldn't help but feel a little worried.
I have faced snake-men face to face, and I know that the power of snake-men is really not something ordinary people can deal with. If those are really snake-men, can Shen Xiping still show off his majestic appearance of fire and wind?
The army is close.
The sky started to get brighter, and we could already see that the army was led by chariots.
Chariots are not a strange thing. Southern Xinjiang is not conducive to the galloping of war horses, so the cavalry is not used much. Horses are mostly used to drag chariots. However, chariots do not rotate well, which is good for defense but not offensive. They have never been used as forwards. .
Three hundred steps away from the Dragon Scale Army, the soldiers and horses stopped.
In the dawn, I don't know how many long teams there were. Are those really the snake army? I tried my best to look over, but I couldn't see clearly in the flying dust. I could only see the cold light of many swords and guns. Amidst the billowing dust and smoke, it is like the starlight mixed in the twilight.
If they take advantage of this forward momentum to rush over at this time, even if we are waiting for work, can we really withstand that thunderous momentum? I can't help but be a little worried. I don't know if Shen Xiping's Dragon Scale Army really has the legendary strength, I think to myself With the strength of the forward battalion, even if it is not completely defeated, it will be in chaos.
The army did not move. It was strange that although the army was in chaos and had no formation at all, in the dawn it looked like an iron wall, motionless. After a while, a chariot came out of the team.
On this chariot, there is a big flag flying in the wind.
It was beginning to dawn. The chariot was clearly visible. There was only one man in armor. He was holding a big flag in one hand and holding the silk rein in the other. The chariot arrived a hundred meters away from the Dragon Scale Army. It stopped a few steps away, and the person on the car stretched out his hand and thrust the flag into the ground. Even I heard a "click" sound, and the flag was deeply inserted into the soil. I took a deep breath, and almost all Everyone also exclaimed lowly.
The flag was blown away by the wind, and on the flag were painted two people wearing ancient clothes, but their lower bodies were all snake bodies.
That's not a big deal. The image on their flag isn't scary. What's scary is the person.
The man was wearing a helmet and a battle armor. There was nothing unusual when he was in the car, but when he got off the car, we discovered that his lower body was exactly the same as that on the flag, also a snake body!
