"Floating battleship! It's the army of the Han Dynasty!——"
A shrill cry pierced the sky. Accompanied by this shrill cry, the earth rumbled and shook, and in the distance, the crowns of huge ancient trees swayed.
In the eyes of everyone, Xi Yuyu's war horse neighed, and in just a moment, thousands of Han cavalry held high the battle flag and roared, rolling in like a black tide.
And above these Han cavalry, three huge floating warships were like mountains floating in the sky, rushing towards the thousands of barbarian troops like meteors.
Boom boom boom!
With fire radiating all over the place, the three floating battleships charged forward while constantly shooting blazing fireballs of destruction that burned everything into the barbarian army below.
"Go! Go! Go! Go quickly!——"
The voice of panic resounded throughout the earth. The barbarian army that was as strong as steel just a moment ago and wanted to crush Yang Ji to death with its numerical superiority and avenge the four vanguards suddenly collapsed.
This place is thousands of miles away from Cangxu City. No one thought that the armored army of the Han Dynasty would be so bold and aggressive at one time. The army of nearly ten thousand actually rushed thousands of miles away, abandoning the principle of never setting foot in the primitive jungle easily, and rushed here.
The four vanguards were killed, and all the scouts and patrols were alerted and rushed towards Yang Ji. No one discovered such a huge army in advance.
However, the primitive jungle trees blocked the sun and the boundless environment provided convenience at this time for the Han Dynasty.
"kill!--"
Thousands of murderous Han cavalry rushed towards them. This time, almost all the more than 10,000 cavalrymen in Cangxu City were dispatched.
Panic spread like a plague. Facing Yang Ji, they could still fight. But coupled with thousands of Han cavalry, this was an encirclement and annihilation battle, and there was no way they could win.`
With a rumble, thousands of barbarian warriors and warriors threw away their helmets and armor and fled far away. Even some barbarian warriors and masters wanted to fight again, but they were powerless in the face of this general trend.
"The whole army is dispatched! Don't let anyone go, kill them!"
Above the woods, on the largest and largest floating battleship in the front, Sima Shaozhen, with his sleeves fluttering, led several masters from the Sima family to appear at the bow of the ship and gave the order to attack.
Yang Ji left Cangxu City, but Sima Shaozhen ordered the army to follow closely behind.
As a direct son of the Sima family, Sima Shaozhen had been immersed in the battlefield for many years and almost instinctively sensed the opportunity of Yang Ji's action.
Yang Ji succeeded in refining the alchemy and broke through to the eighth level of martial arts in one fell swoop. Once he successfully killed the four vanguards and the barbarian army was wiped out, this would be the best opportunity to wipe out the barbarians.
As long as this army can be wiped out, it will be a great achievement for both Yang Ji and him!
"Boom!"
The earth shook, and more than 10,000 Han cavalry were swept away by the wind. They passed by Yang Ji and pursued them one after another. Seeing these troops, Yang Ji just smiled.
His perception was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he naturally knew Sima Shaozhen's army. As soon as he turned around, a rainbow of swords shot out from Yang Ji's back like rain, and he joined the chasing army.
Since the imperial court ended its offensive strategy on the northwest frontier, there have been few such large-scale attacks in the primitive jungle, with tens of thousands of people pursuing them.
The Sima family controls the military. It is quite powerful in the northwest, and there will be a war every few years. But most of them are plain areas, and it is rare to lead an army of nearly 10,000 people like this to go deep into the lair of the barbarians to kill them.
From dawn in the early morning to sunset, nearly ten thousand Han cavalry chased and chased north. They refused to let go. Wherever they passed, the barbarians were mourning and screaming. The blood sprayed out even the vines in the primitive jungle were dyed red.
.`
Fireballs were continuously sprayed out from the three floating warships. These meteorite-like fireballs continued to explode at the edges. Through the huge explosion power, they controlled the scattered escape trajectories of the seven thousand barbarians, preventing them from being too scattered.
Affect the efficiency of annihilation.
Not only that, the three warships simultaneously dispatched hundreds of giant eagles and Haidongqing. These things were well-trained. Although they were not as good as the barbarian aerial cavalry, they could still be wiped out by the heavy crossbows when the barbarian aerial cavalry was completely wiped out.
Next, these giant eagles and sea eagles immediately took action.
Giant eagles and Hai Dongqing were flying on the edge of the fleeing army. On the back of each aerial rider were two Han warriors. These Han warriors were all masters of the fourth level or above of martial arts.
These people were sitting on giant eagles, Hai Dongqing was flying in the sky, and they were shooting with the broken swords and crossbows in their hands. Hundreds of people were constantly killing the barbarians who had fled the farthest, with three floating warships and tens of thousands of cavalry.
, making it impossible for the seven thousand barbarian army to disperse and flee for a long time.
As the son of the Sima family, Sima Shaozhen's strategic vision is much better than that of Yang Ji. In the art of command, he also shows the style of a military family.
Just from the perspective of encirclement and annihilation, the 10,000 well-trained Han cavalry, combined with the family strategies and tactics passed down by Sima Shaozhen, exerted the greatest effectiveness in the primitive jungle.
Chasing death all the way, with a distance of more than 2,000 miles, the army under the four vanguards has been reduced sharply from more than 7,000 to more than 2,000. Among them, the masters of the barbarians give priority to killing their opponents, so they are basically lost quickly.
Almost exhausted.
"There is still a while, at most an hour, before we can completely complete this siege!"
In the sky, Sima Shaozhen looked down, excited. He came from a noble family and had experienced hundreds of battles, but he rarely experienced encirclement and annihilation battles like this.
Seven thousand barbarian warriors were almost annihilated, but the price paid by their own side was almost pitiful.
"Brother Yang, you have really made a great contribution this time!"
Sima Shaozhen turned his head and looked behind him, where Yang Ji was sitting cross-legged on the deck of the floating battleship, practicing silently to improve his martial arts:
"...If you hadn't killed the three vanguards of the barbarians, leaving them with nothing and their morale collapsing, these guys might not have been so easily defeated. After this time, as long as we report to the court and show our military exploits, we will definitely get a huge reward."
Thanks to your contribution. Whether it’s you or me, we’re all going to be promoted to a higher position, and it’s just around the corner!”
The four vanguards of the barbarians are not weak. Sima Shaozhen has long heard of these four masters of the barbarian generals. If it weren't for Yang Ji, it would be hard for Sima Shaozhen to imagine that such four top eighth-level martial arts masters would all be defeated.
The loss was in the hands of Yang Ji.
Although he brought the eighth great martial arts sect of his family with him this time, and he was even a great martial sect himself, he still had no confidence that he could easily kill the four vanguards of the barbarians.
Their strength reaches the level of the Eight Great Martial Sects, their defense is strong, and their vitality is extremely strong. Swords, guns, sticks, and many other things are not dangerous to them.
If it weren't for a special weapon with the power to break the Gang, it wouldn't even be able to injure them.
The warriors at this level were all about the same strength, and it was possible to win or lose in the first half of the battle. But Yang Ji killed them easily with one hand. It was really a matter of picking out the enemy from a crowd of thousands of soldiers and picking out the items!
"Destroy these two thousand barbarians and call it a day! The management of Cangxu City has just begun. In this regard, I still need the help of you, the young master of the Sima family. If you want to leverage the war situation in the northwest and obtain greater fame, later on
This is our real opportunity!”
Yang Ji said calmly.
Killing the four vanguards is only a prerequisite for improving the environment of Cangxu City and gaining development. If you want to completely change the environment here, you must change the living environment here and attract more people.
"Hey, don't worry. No matter how much Saracen black oil you want, I can find a way to help you get it. As long as the growth and reproduction ability of the primitive jungle are controlled, without the help of the primitive jungle, the power and activities of these barbarians
The scope will be greatly weakened. To be honest, Yang Ji, I am looking forward to your plans now. Maybe the strategic situation in the northwest frontier that has not changed for hundreds of years will change in your hands!"
Sima Shaozhen smiled.
During these few hours on the ship, Yang Ji had introduced his strategy in detail. That's right! Just like Yang Ji said, the so-called four vanguards of the barbarians and the remaining barbarian warriors in front of them were nothing to worry about.
For the Han Dynasty, the real threat always came from this vast and endless "primitive jungle". Decades ago, when Cangxu City was built, the primitive jungle was actually more than a thousand miles away from the city wall of Cangxu City.
.
Within this range, there is a scorched earth. Those are all traces of war.
The imperial court would never build its city in such a dangerous place on the edge of the primitive jungle. But for decades, the primitive jungle has continued to multiply and grow.
Gradually, it occupied the previously barren land, and as a result, now, decades later, the primitive jungle has almost grown to the walls of Cangxu City.
And one day in the future, it is possible that Cangxu City will be completely surrounded by the vines and giant trees of the primitive jungle.
As Yang Ji said, without solving the primitive jungle, the Han Dynasty's northwest strategy will never make real and substantial progress.
If Yang Ji really did what he said, everything would be completely different. And for the Sima family, there are huge benefits to getting involved in this plan.
The two parties hit it off completely!
"This matter will be completed in the future. You will see the results by then."
Yang Ji said calmly.
He has already written to Pingchuan City, saying that three old friends from Pingchuan City's Nongsang Division will be here soon. In more than half a year, with the drawings and funds provided by him, the three people have produced a large number of water conservancy and agricultural tools.
As long as we use the farmland and water conservancy tools of the previous Zhou Dynasty, I believe that the outside of Cangxu City will soon become a fertile land. Those places where primitive jungles originally grew will become fragrant fields of rice flowers.
The vitality and aura left in the earth from the primitive jungle will make the rice grown here sweeter than anywhere else.
