Qianye raised his head and saw Wei Bainian's expression. His thoughts turned around and he understood what he meant.
The Expeditionary Force headquarters is still deploying this war zone in accordance with conventional warfare, but the strength of the dark army has obviously far exceeded expectations. With such a front sweep, several divisions stationed in this area of Sanhe County will be severely damaged, and may even be
One or two divisions were declassified.
If Wei Bainian's strategy of defending the fortified city by himself can be successfully overcome, he can preserve his strength to the maximum extent. When the war is over, there will be a situation where Wei Bainian's 7th Division dominates Sanhe County.
At that time, with Qianye's military exploits and taking the opportunity to expand the size of the mercenary group, he would be qualified to occupy a city alone.
Qianye let out a long sigh and admired Wei Bainian very much. Song Hu once told him that Wei Bainian was better at defense than he was in military skills, so he was not well-known. Most of the people in the fierce and fierce empire were praised by people for their powerful generals who charged into battle.
But it wasn't until today that Qianye truly understood the meaning of the word "defense".
And Song Hu is indeed not a good person. He once had the opportunity to sit as the Chief of Staff of the First Division of the main army, so he guessed Wei Bainian's intentions from clues. Listening to his previous words, he had such a ruthless plan for Wei Bainian.
Also totally agree.
As expected, none of these people can be fuel-efficient when they reach this position.
Qianye suddenly felt a headache. If he followed the current trajectory and started to move forward step by step, just like Wei Bainian promised him, it would not be impossible to capture a city after the war, and he might be able to capture another land or even a county in the future.
When the time comes, the friends and foes he will have to deal with will be people like Wei Bainian and Song Hu. Compared with them, it's no wonder that Song Hu felt disapprovingly from the beginning and felt that Gu Liyu was not good enough.
It's just that although Qianye can understand and understand this layout, he still feels a little unspeakably depressed.
Looking at the empire, there may be only one Zhang Boqian who never does such roundabout things. His behavior is really unscrupulous. He can do whatever he wants. Most of the time, even the imperial family does not look down on him. But no matter what Zhang Boqian did
, will only win one-sided applause, and those who dare to risk their lives to criticize Zhang Boqian will really die.
Qianye didn't know why he thought of Zhang Boqian, whom he was not familiar with and had only heard rumors about, at this time. Perhaps like many passionate young people in the empire, before their passion was wiped out by reality, they subconsciously yearned for Zhang Boqian's style of conduct.
Zhang Shuai kills people and never shows mercy.
The situation was just as Wei Bainian expected. The dark army was unstoppable and directly swept away all the towns between Blackstream City and the border. Tens of thousands of cannon fodder and thousands of regular soldiers, including everyone from werewolves to demons.
The main race, such an army has no weaknesses at all. It is not afraid of any sneak attacks and ambushes, and can only meet them head-on.
Wei Bainian contracted the front line in advance and gathered all the people and objects that could be evacuated to Heiliu City. The civilians who were willing to retreat with the army all entered Heiliu City. Those who refused to evacuate had no time to persuade them and were left behind.
Land. When the dark race army passes through, the fate of these people goes without saying.
The entire 7th Division retreated to Blackstream City, not even many scouts were released, and the area was only around the city.
Every corner of the city is busy working day and night. Large machines that have not been used for a long time are spitting out steam. White mist covers most of the city from morning to night. A fortress is gradually taking shape.
All daily life revolves around defense, and all supplies as long as they are military supplies are unconditionally requisitioned. Naturally, there are many people in the city who rely on their status and background to resist the requisition, and some even hoard them, hoping to take advantage of the turmoil to make a fortune.
At this time, Wei Bainian showed his thunderous methods and killed several young men of various kinds, which shocked everyone at once.
Now the population of the entire Black River City has reached more than 100,000. The entire 7th Division is stationed here, and an additional 20,000 temporary soldiers have been recruited. Black River City is like a hedgehog curled up in a ball, waiting for the beast to come.
Wei Bainian's move was tactically flawless, using the weak to block the strong, but it was not without consequences. Among the imperial laws, the duty to defend the territory was among the top ten laws. Wei Bainian's decision to release the defense zone and allow the dark races to pass through
This approach will be highly criticized and may even lead to dismissal on the spot.
However, Wei Bainian was very calm, and the military merit of killing two generals was enough to offset the penalty of retreating without fighting. This was also his intention in gathering troops in the black mud to suppress the front from the beginning.
Seven days after the celebration reception, Blackstream City finally ushered in the army of the dark race.
When tens of thousands of dark troops appeared outside the city, all the people who had clamored to go out of the city to fight and fight for every inch of land all stopped talking. The numbers did not make people despair, but what really made people dare not look directly at them was the dense battle formations.
Above, the thick clouds turned into huge whirlpools, slowly rotating with the dark army as the core.
In the center of the vortex, you can see five faint light pillars rising into the sky and connecting with the center of the vortex. This is a shocking scene that will only occur when a strong man from the dark side releases his momentum and causes the force between heaven and earth to change. It is also a shocking scene.
That is to say, there are actually five warrior-level warriors leading this army!
In the center of the battle formation, five figures of different heights and shapes, but equally soaring, slowly rose into the sky, looking at the waiting Blackstream City in the distance.
"It's a bit troublesome."
"What kind of trouble is this? It's just a small town."
"But how many casualties will our soldiers suffer?"
"They only have one general."
"Don't forget, both Brahms and Sodo died at the hands of this man. You can't stop him, and neither can I. Despicable human strongmen will leave the battlefield when the situation is unfavorable, but if they capture this city, let them
If he runs away, it's all meaningless."
Four of the dark warriors quickly exchanged views, but they all had trouble with the Black Current City, which was armed to the teeth. Conventional siege methods would inevitably come at a certain price.
It was difficult for them to agree on their opinions, and in the end their eyes fell on the thinnest figure in the center, only he remained silent.
This powerful earl from the Monroe family has lived for seven hundred years. Regardless of his blood background or personal strength, he has steadily overwhelmed the other four. He was silent for a long time, and then said in a hoarse and ugly voice: "The path we want to take
It’s still a long way, this is just the first stop.”
The remaining four generals were silent for a moment. If too many troops were used in Blackstream City, it would definitely affect the subsequent battle situation. They all knew some of the real background of this war, and they were deeply amazed by the troops mobilized this time. Others
Not to mention, there were nine members of the Evernight Council alone!
If a war of this scale were to suffer losses due to their delay, no one would be able to bear the responsibility.
At this time, the count added: "Also, don't forget that the mission of our operation is not to capture cities and lands."
The other four generals nodded. This battle was under special circumstances. As for why they received such an order, they were not even qualified to know the inside story.
Seeing that the others had no objection, the Blood Count said slowly: "That's it, let's go to the next city."
The dark army did not stay long before a new order came, but it was not to attack the city, but to retreat. This made many violent dark warriors very dissatisfied. The human city was right in front of them, and it was full of fresh flesh and blood. It was so small. It's a small city, why not attack it?
There are many races in the Evernight camp who are violent and impatient by nature, but they have forgotten that the gentle and indifferent vampires are also ruthless, and the Munro clan, whose family emblem is the mandala, the flower of fear, is even more famous for its bloodthirsty. Right now Dozens of noisy warriors were dragged out of the team and killed on the spot directly in front of the formation.
The count's bloodshed and brutality finally overcame all objections and allowed the army to return to his will.
When the dark army finally left, countless people in Blackstream City could hardly believe their eyes. They finally knew that they should respect the new master of the 7th Division, the gentle-looking general who came from a noble family.
The dark race also left a small force stationed on the spot, obviously to monitor the movements of Blackstream City. At this time, most people in Blackstream City had returned to 'reason', and no one proposed to go out of the city to annihilate this army. .
From this moment on, the flames of war ignited throughout the Evernight Continent. The dark race mobilized an army of unprecedented scale, divided into dozens of groups, and invaded human territory from all directions. In just a few weeks, dozens of divisions of the expeditionary force were defeated. , nearly ten counties have been lost one after another, and the same number of counties are still in danger. The defenders have been severely damaged, and the defense line may collapse at any time.
Suddenly, the expeditionary force as a whole suffered an extremely serious blow. If this trend continues, in less than two months, the imperial expeditionary force will be completely defeated, and then the human forces will be cleared out of the Evernight Continent for the first time in thousands of years. .
The empire finally responded. One month after the war began, the Ninth Legion entered Eternal Night. Another week later, the leading troops of the 17th and 21st Legions arrived in Eternal Night. Two months later, the broken-winged angels and red scorpions , Lieyan Bingfeng and other elite legions have sent teams into the eternal night.
Among the four great clans, the Bai family and the Zhao family began to send strong men into the eternal night in large numbers to engage in a desperate fight with the strong men of the dark race. In the most brutal battle, a total of eleven warrior-level strong men were killed by both sides.
This is a full-scale war. The entire empire, and even the two camps of Evernight and Dawn, are involved in the situation and have begun to take action.
Lin Xitang, who has always acted mildly, suddenly launched a large-scale attack on several rebel-held cities in Western Xinjiang by his Beifu Corps. He also adopted high-pressure policies for the first time in some areas where rebels were active. All cities imposed curfews after dark, and people went out on the streets privately. Just shoot without warning.
The thunderous method naturally brought great results. In just a few days, tens of thousands of rebels were captured and killed, almost more than in the past year. Of course, accidental injuries were inevitable, and some of the imperial ministers criticized them at the court meeting. Lin Xitang was accused of disregarding human life. However, it was not long before this person was imprisoned for corruption and other corruption while serving abroad five years ago.
As soon as the situation in Western Xinjiang stabilized, Zhao Weihuang's Wolf Smoke Legion, who was in the same town, moved. Nearly half of the main force left the defense area and rushed to the Evernight Continent.
The other marshal of the Empire, Zhang Boqian, had never liked this roundabout method. He led a small number of elite troops and disappeared. A few days later, the battle report came that they had brazenly invaded the Twilight Continent, the stronghold of the Blood Tribe.
