"Those patrolling soldiers are the elites of each legion. My lord, what you are seeing now are the infantry directly under Yao Qiang, the deputy commander of the Golden Eagle Legion." Xuanji said with a smile.
Even with Haotian's eyes, he couldn't find any flaws in the soldiers in front of him. Nodding with satisfaction, Haotian smiled and said: "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. Chunjian Shang has been stationed in the western border for these years, and after all, he has not let the soldiers down.
We are disappointed. Yes, Yao Qiang did not disgrace our Qingyun garrison."
"Always calling this boy, that boy, how old does he think he is?" Xian Lianchen whispered from behind.
Xuanji quickly blocked the smile on his face with a feather fan, and a hint of embarrassment appeared on Haotian's face. However, he had never been in the habit of getting angry at his wife, so he had to pretend not to hear.
Xian Lianchen and others were accustomed to Haotian's reaction, and ignored Haotian at all. Qiu Mu said with a smile: "You don't know, there is a saying that time in the world makes people grow old. Hey, this should be the young man in the world.
That’s it.”
Haotian had a grimace on his face, turned his back to the women, and said to Xuanji: "Commander, are your troops here weak? Achilles's army is already struggling to survive, and Sibugasha is not a weakling. We must be careful."
Xuanji chuckled and said: "Don't worry, my lord, it's fine if Xibu Jiasha doesn't come. If he dares to come, my subordinates will definitely let him shed a layer of his skin!"
A sharp whistle suddenly sounded, and the semaphore soldiers on the sentry tower kept waving flags: "Enemy attack!"
No one knows what Xibu Gaza is thinking in his heart. Since the beginning of the war between the Hetao army and Sashan, Xibu Gaza has been standing on the city tower. However, the strategic depth of the Hetao army is more than twenty miles, even if it is thousands of miles
With the mirror in hand, Sibu Gaza could only vaguely see the traces of the battlefield.
Just as Xian Lianchen said, it is not that Xibujiasha is not prepared to go to war. Achilles led the entire country to come to the decisive battle with Hetao. Even if Xibujiasha disagrees with his idea, he cannot hold back at this time. However, Sashan
The army was defeated too quickly. In less than two hours, the 400,000-strong army dispersed. If Acharius's royal flag was not still erected on the battlefield, Xibu Jiasha even thought that Acharius
Stuart has died in the battle.
"I have already said that your Majesty should not come. As long as we can hold Babylon, we can completely drain the last bit of strength from the Loop." Sibu Jiasha thought in his heart, but he did not say it stupidly. At this time, he said
Everything is useless, but it will stimulate the nerves of other generals.
"Commander, what should we do now?" Huo Bimu took a step forward and said with a solemn expression. He also saw Sashan's defeat. The king's flag of Achilles was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops in Hetao.
, the situation was very bad, and Huo Bimu was naturally extremely worried about his father's safety.
Domor, Qidamendu, Dida and Duke von Bert, the lord of Geddes City, all stood on the tower. Sibugasha did not open his mouth, and they did not dare to speak. In the afterglow of the setting sun, they all stared intently.
He stared at Sibu Gaza, who was frowning and thinking, as if his head was a huge gem.
"Your Majesty is in trouble. No matter how difficult it is, we must do our best to rescue him." Sibu Gaza said slowly.
A hint of joy suddenly appeared on the faces of Huo Bimu and Qida Mengdu, but Duke von Burt said worriedly: "Commander, we only have 200,000 troops in the city, and the number of troops in Hetao is several times ours. We
If we want to rescue His Majesty among thousands of troops, the situation is not optimistic."
Xibu Jiasha said with a serious face: "We have no choice at all! If His Majesty is captured alive by the Hetao, then the only outcome for Sashan is the destruction of the country."
Feng Bert opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. He had been in the city of Getis for a long time and had some military accomplishments. Although he had little time to deal with the Hetao, he was very impressed by the combat effectiveness of the Hetao army and the quality of its generals.
He still understands it very well.
If you want to rescue Acharius among the hundreds of thousands of Hetao troops, even if Sibughasha personally leads the army, you will have to use at least 100,000 of the most elite cavalry. Moreover, once Sibughasha leaves the city, he will never come back.
This is the total number of cavalry in Getis City, and it is simply impossible for the defenders in the city to block the attack of the Hetao army.
"To put it nicely, this is obviously using Getis City in exchange for His Majesty's life, and it is still unknown whether His Majesty can be rescued." Feng Bert thought in his heart.
Xibu Jiasha turned around and said solemnly: "Everyone, the kingdom can live without the city of Gedis, but it cannot live without His Majesty. As long as Your Majesty is still there, the kingdom has hope of revival! No matter how high the price is, we must do it.
Find His Majesty, and then protect His Majesty and break out. Duke, I hope you can understand."
As expected, things went in the direction he had guessed, and Feng Bert's face suddenly turned pale. But looking at Sibu Jiasha's resolute expression, Feng Bert took a deep breath and said with a wry smile: "Commander, for the sake of
Kingdom, for the sake of Great God Sani, what else can I say? I just hope, Marshal, that you will protect His Majesty during the breakout, otherwise our sacrifices will be in vain."
Although he had known that Ci could not control the army and that the battlefield was ruthless, as he watched the generals who had followed him for many years being killed one by one, Sibu Jiasha suddenly realized that he was not as determined as outsiders imagined. Patting Feng Bert
The Duke's shoulders and the corners of Sibu Gaza's eyes were already wet.
Probably because he was willing to take the risk, Feng Burt smiled heartily: "Commander, it is my honor to die for the great god Sani and for your majesty. It's a pity that I can't see the glory of the great god Sani spreading all over the world.
It’s time to go to the mainland.”
"There will be a day. As long as His Majesty is still here, we still have hope!" Sibu Jiasha said slowly. Turning around, looking at the three Dumore people standing beside him, Sibu Jiasha sighed.
, after today, I wonder how many people here can survive?
"Hey, is that the Iron Blood Mountain and River Flag? Haotian is right there!" Xibu Jiasha suddenly said in surprise.
Haotian was chatting with Xuanji in the camp of the Golden Eagle Legion. Suddenly, drums were beating loudly on the city tower, the gates of Getis City were opened, and countless infantrymen swarmed out. The leader of the general waved a sword studded with red and green in his hand.
The scimitar was wielded with precious stones, and his expression was extremely fierce. Neither Xuanji nor Haotian knew this person, but after guessing for a while, they both felt that he should be the Mandan general Dumoer.
The soldiers in Hetao had just had their fill of wine and food, and were at their most lethargic, so their vigilance was naturally reduced a lot. Xibu Jiasha's grasp of timing was indeed superb. Tens of thousands of infantrymen held their weapons high in the air.
Like white waves spreading to the Hetao position.
Xuanji's defensive position is based on the four armies of the Golden Eagle and Rock Legions as the core, with the three legions of Dongfang, Qilin and Red Snake as the two wings, and the Undead Legion as the backup. Sashan soldiers surged in, and the first one to bear the brunt was Yao Qiang's army.
.
The soldiers from Sashan came very fast, but the soldiers from Hetao were not slow either. The sharp whistle sounded wildly, and the soldiers from Hetao who were sitting around the tent chatting grabbed their weapons and returned to their positions like lightning.
above.
Arrows rained down from the arrow tower, and Yao Qiang could only belong to an infantry corps. Although the defense line was not wide, it was still difficult to block the attack of the opponent's 50,000-strong army. Xuanji quickly waved his command flag, and the surrounding Eastern Legion
He and the 60,000 infantrymen of the Qilin Army quickly moved towards the Golden Eagle Army. Mu Shan of the Panshi Army had already led 20,000 soldiers to come to the rescue.
"This is Sa Shan's elite of all battles. We must not take it lightly!" Haotian said solemnly.
Xuanji nodded. This army is different from Sa Shan's recruits and noble private soldiers. Their soldiers are quite flexible when moving forward. During the dodge and jump, most of the arrows in the Hetao fell into the air. Their speed is extremely fast.
, the movements were also quite skillful. The Golden Eagle Legion was caught off guard and allowed the opponent to rush to the fence easily. And the price paid by the opponent would never exceed a thousand soldiers.
"Lord." Xuanji looked at Haotian.
Haotian smiled slightly and said proudly: "Even if Xibu Jiasha leads an all-powerful army to come in person, I, Haotian, do not have to avoid it! I believe in your commanding skills, military advisor, and I also believe in the combat effectiveness of your officers and men!"
Xuanji smiled and said: "Lord, you misunderstood. If the other party's mere 50,000 soldiers can't stop it, then what's the difference between me and my subordinates? What I mean is that we can observe more carefully when we go to the arrow tower.
"
Haotian smiled sarcastically, and Qiu Mu looked at him like an idiot and a narcissist, and followed Xuanji directly.
"Xibugasha's target must be Acharius. We just need to surround Acharius. We are not afraid that Xibujiasha will not come and fight for his life." Haotian said as he walked.
Xuanji did not agree with his words: "Sibu Gaza probably launched the attack after seeing your lord's flag appear here. Although the time is good now, if it can be delayed until nightfall, the night battle will be more likely to create chaos."
Sure enough, when the iron-blooded mountain and river flag representing Haotian moved to the towering archery tower, the Sashan soldiers led by Du Moer also rushed in this direction desperately. The 60,000 infantry forwards of the Eastern Army and the Qilin Army had already arrived.
The camp, together with the two legions of Golden Eagle and Panshi, tenaciously blocked the footsteps of Sashan's infantry.
The Sashan soldiers seemed not to know the meaning of death. As soon as the soldiers in front fell down, they had already stepped on the corpses of their comrades and rushed forward. They even used the corpses of their comrades as shields and charged desperately.
Xuanji secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they were mainly attacking the positions defended by the Golden Eagle Legion and the Panshi Legion. These two legions were elite divisions in Hetao. They had been guarding the border for a long time and were quite excellent in terms of combat experience and fighting will. Relying on the strength of the big army,
The camp is dotted with defensive facilities such as archery towers and horse pits, which can block the opponent's footsteps. If the opponent had chosen the Eastern Army from the beginning, then the Eastern Army's defense might have collapsed long ago.
The Eastern Army and the Qilin Army moved closer to the center, and a gap suddenly appeared on the defensive front of Hetao. Another group of infantry swarmed out of the city and rushed to the Eastern Army's original defense area with lightning speed. They easily broke through and there was no longer much defense.
The powerful camp, directly attacked the Wolf Legion that was watching Achilles behind the Eastern Legion camp.
The moment Situ Lie learned that Sashan had taken the initiative to attack, he had already ordered the entire Canglang Army to be on alert. The two infantry armies of Qiao Sanhuai and Ma Fengyun quickly separated from the army and formed a formation to block the opponent's attack.
Attack. Zhong Dangshen and Bai Yunlong were ready to guard against Achilles and the other side attacking from both sides.
On Achilles' side, Luo Xiang was personally on command, so Haotian was not worried at all. Although the number of troops that came out again was as high as 50,000, Haotian believed in Luo Xiang and also believed that Situ Lie would definitely be able to block the opponent's attack.
"Sibu Gaza is about to launch an attack!" Haotian said with a smile.
Qiu Mu said in surprise: "How do you know?"
"The layout of our army can be said to be seamless. If Sibu Gaza attacks with all his strength from the beginning, he will soon fall into a quagmire. Therefore, he must continue to attack, mobilize the strength of our army, and let our army be exposed in the movement.
Haotian smiled and said: "Have you noticed that when Sashan soldiers attacked, they tried their best to remove all the fences, tripping ropes and horse-repelling stakes along the way, and even fell into the trap.
Have the horse pits been filled in by the way? They are working hard now. If they are in such a good mood, it can only be said that they are preparing for the cavalry raid in Sibu Gaza."
"So are we ready?" Xian Lianchen asked worriedly.
Haotian laughed and said: "It has been prepared for a long time. If Xibu Jiasha doesn't come, that's it. If he comes, there is no way to go back alive!"
Zhang Yuewan rolled her beautiful eyes and asked curiously: "Why is it Xibu Jiasha and not Acharius?"
"Do you think Achilles poses a greater threat to us or Sibu Gaza? Achilles may be first-rate in politics and conspiracy, but in military terms, he is not even qualified. Achilles
"It doesn't matter even if he escapes, as long as he can keep the more than 50,000 elite soldiers under his command, that's enough." Haotian said disdainfully.
Zhang Yuewan seemed to have some realization.
If Achilles escapes, he will definitely gather all the soldiers in Sashan to fight against Hetao. However, there are no good enough generals, and his subordinates are all improvised soldiers. The combat effectiveness cannot be guaranteed at all.
It is not an exaggeration to come here to die. The Loop may be able to eat up all the opponent's strength in one battle. Just like today's battle, Achilles's army of 400,000 fell apart, and the rustic veteran Alle Titong was forced to fight.
The reinforcements of Sykara and Ulens were also severely damaged along the way, and even Xibu Gaza had to come out of the heavily defended turtle shell to fight a decisive battle with Hetao.
Looking at Haotian, Zhang Yuewan was suddenly a little confused. Unexpectedly, Haotian's military opinions had reached such an extent, that is, to use all possible factors to force the opponent to give up his own advantages and fight on his own. The two of them worked together.
For many years, Zhang Yuewan always felt that she had never clearly seen Haotian's true talent. From the perspective of outsiders, the reason why Haotian was able to get here step by step was entirely due to the strength of the three great counselors and the five great generals. However, there was no
With enough outstanding wisdom and powerful skills, can Haotian control so many people with outstanding abilities under his command?
The Huben Legion had appeared near the archery tower where Haotian was at some unknown time, and the Undead Legion was also well prepared, ready to attack at any time.
Zhang Yuewan was about to open her mouth, but when she saw the inscrutable smiles on Haotian and Xuanji's faces, she immediately closed her mouth. The Huben Legion withdrew from the encirclement to the west, leaving only Jiang Chenzhou's Legion of Honor and
Situ Lie's Canglang Legion monitored more than 50,000 Achilles soldiers. These 50,000 soldiers were the most elite part of Sashan's hundreds of thousands of troops, and their combat effectiveness was extraordinary. However, Haotian and Xuanji were obviously confident, so Zhang Yuewan did not do it in the end.
Talkative.
The setting sun has completely set, and only a trace of afterglow is still shining on the earth. The entire sky is red, as if it is stained by large tracts of blood. But this is nothing compared to the blood of the battlefield.
The 100,000 infantrymen led by Dumoer and Dida were worthy of being the elite of Sashan. Under their crazy attacks, the fences and sentry towers of the Hetao camp were destroyed by them. In addition to the 50,000 cavalry of the Tiger Army and the Undead Army,
Almost all the troops in Hetao were restrained by them. Achilles also lost no time in launching an attack, but instead of escaping, he and Dida's infantry attacked the Wolf Army from both sides.
"Could it be that he wants to join forces with the garrison of Getes City, fight back to Getes City, and fight a protracted war with us?" Qiu Mu said curiously.
Haotian ignored Qiu Mu and just asked the soldiers to light torches and prepare for night battles. Haotian was still a little wary of Xibu Gaza. There are indeed many people in the world who have a false reputation, just like Haixi back then.
Like Jin Xiangliang of the Dynasty, but as Xibu Jiasha has been famous for decades and is a famous general with great reputation even in mainland China, he is definitely not an ordinary person.
If this battle had not been divided and surrounded by experienced generals such as Xibu Jiasha and Al Tietong in advance, and Achilles was not too confident in the intelligence of the traitor, it would not have been so smooth. At least, if the Hetao side wanted to win,
, the losses will definitely be huge.
"Lord, can you ask the Canglang Army to give way? Xibu Jiasha is ready to attack." Xuanji said beside him.
Although there are hundreds of thousands of troops fighting below, Xuanji can still feel the slightest vibration from the ground. If nothing unexpected happens, this should be a precursor to a large number of cavalry attacking.
Haotian waved his hand and said: "Commander, you have made the arrangements. You don't have to worry about the Legion of Honor and the Wolf Legion. As long as you are here, everything will be no problem."
Xuanji thought about it for a while, but still did not pass the order directly to Situ Lie, but asked Luo Xiang to act according to the situation. I believe that with Luo Xiang's accurate judgment, he will definitely be able to surprise Sa Shan.
