Dragon Fighting Hoshino

Chapter 43
"Princess Fidoya, do you think that you and your followers still have considerable authority over the people of your kingdom? Or, will they still be willing to follow you?"

"Yes, I have always believed in this. The subjects of our Shenguang Kingdom are the most loyal subjects. We love them, and they love us. We didn't lose the hearts of the people because of our violence and cruelty. Our failure was only because of The army of the Black Cloud Empire is too powerful."

Wen Yuan showed a slight smile, ignored Yang Tian who was standing next to him and was almost drooling at Fei Duoya, nodded in agreement and said: "Then, as long as you can cooperate with us to appease the people of the original Shenguang Kingdom and let them passively assist The army of the Black Cloud Empire, we will allow your kingdom to retain its own independent power."

Yang Tian came from the city of 'River Valley' overnight, nodded and said to Fidoya with a smile: "Yes, yes, you just need to send a few ministers to contact the former nobles and common people, and let them supply Putting some poison in the food and grass of the Black Cloud Empire will help a lot."

Fei Duoya smiled at Yang Tian and nodded slightly.Wen Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at Yang Tian, ​​and frowned slightly.There was a murderous look in Longfeng's eyes, and he returned to normal in an instant.

Wenyuan sent an order: "Everyone is ready, we will try our best to push them back a thousand miles and leave us enough land. After that, it will be the land of the former Shenguang Kingdom, and it will be the turn of Her Royal Highness Princess Fidoya and those who are loyal to you." The man has served. While our morale is high, kill..." Nuo, the generals stepped out of the commander's mansion one after another, led their own guards, and galloped out.

The messengers galloped crazily in the large camp that stretched for hundreds of miles, and the smoke of the soldiers used to lead the soldiers rose into the sky. Hundreds of black-clothed monks and apricot-colored Danshi floated into the sky one after another, and the lights flashed rapidly. Amidst the sound of 'rumbling' drums, groups of Celestial soldiers in black clothes and armor, gold helmets and armors, silver robes and silver armors, etc. in different costumes drove out of the camp, and gathered into a thick iron stream, heading towards ' Hongyan' city flocked.

Huge catapults, giant crossbows, new or old cannons, surrounded by groups of soldiers, meander away with the large group of people.The nine thousand disciples of Old Ghost Heitian flew more than ten feet above the ground in arrogance, flying in the air one after another. The cavalry of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' and a large number of cavalry from the western continent walked slowly on both sides of the infantry. 230 million troops have invested in this deterrent activity.

The soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire were terrified by the arrival of reinforcements from the Celestial Dynasty. They saw a large number of troops coming towards the city of "Red Rock" where Strungen and his senior officials were located. In the three nearby cities, A large number of cavalry galloped out.Immediately, the Chinese cavalry with a total of more than one million troops was divided into three teams, and confronted them brutally.

Thousands of cannons marching in the team immediately set up, and after a little calibration, they roared at the enemy brigade a few miles away. The smoke filled the air, and clusters of flames rose from the ground. The horse fell with a scream, and the blood mixed with the soil, dyeing the whole earth purple.The dense crossbow arrows, like metal waterfalls, continuously poured down towards the cavalry in the black cloud. The bows and arrows falling from high altitude had astonishing force, and countless cavalry were shot through their bodies, or nailed to the ground abruptly.

With the order of the old ghost Heitian, five thousand pieces of black energy swept out, and the whole world immediately turned into a gloomy ghost creature. The ghost tower of the sky old ghost.

Yang Tian led a group of troops directly under him, weakly watching the lively fight ahead.Genu was itching all over his body, and complained: "Why should we defend the city instead of killing people? It's so uncomfortable to hold back." Zeng Guoxuan said with a smile: "Uncomfortable? Then find a girl to relieve the fire." It's over...hahahahaha..." The group of young masters were very happy that they didn't have to go to the battlefield anymore.

Long Feng gently rode his horse to Yang Tian's side, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, although Wen Yuan takes care of you more in the face of your old man, but he is really loyal to the Celestial Dynasty. You and that princess , It doesn’t matter even if you go to bed, just don’t let him find out, otherwise, you might be transferred back to the Celestial Dynasty.”

Yang Tian's eyes turned cold, and he said coldly, "Wen Yuan and I don't have any feelings for each other. It will be done by then. Anyway, no matter how many people are around him, you can do it well, right?" Long Feng He nodded, and suddenly exclaimed loudly: "I always thought that those countries in the western continent had no fighting power, but now they seem to be doing pretty well."

The heavily armored cavalrymen of the Black Cloud Empire fell off their horses one by one. Like the hardest awl, the cavalry brigade of the 'Tiger Wolf Army' ruthlessly cut into a black cloud cavalry team and swept across.And those cavalry from the nomadic countries in the western continent were wrapped in simple leather armor and held simple but most suitable bows and arrows in their hands.They didn't have the habit of confronting the enemy head-on at all, and dispersed into small groups of cavalry, shooting down the enemies who were not as mobile as their own with long arrows from a distance.In comparison, although the 'Tiger Wolf Army' has superhuman combat power, many people have been injured, while none of these guerrilla cavalry has been injured.

Yang Tian suddenly laughed: "These cavalry will definitely return to the Western Continent in the future, right? If they know, the army of the Celestial Dynasty can also be shot to death slowly one by one like the cavalry of the Black Cloud Empire. What do you think they will think?"

Longfeng smiled, and said softly: "Then, you have to light them up. How can you say that you are also the prince of Saint Dole, and they are still on your own."

Yang Tian nodded, slammed his horse off his seat, and shouted: "Brothers, let them kill here, let's go back to 'River Valley' city, damn it, the girls by the river are watery It makes people feel distressed." A group of young masters burst into laughter, mixed with a hint of indescribable obscenity, this team of more than 200 people stepped out, and easily solved a black cloud cavalry with less than [-] people. Team.

The commander of the Black Cloud Empire cavalry immediately dispatched a team of more than [-] people to chase and kill Yang Tian and the others. He thought Yang Tian's team was going to attack his rear.Longfeng threw hundreds of huge fireballs out, blowing up the chasing team on their backs, and was instantly resolved by the cavalry from the 'tiger wolf army' clashing.

At the head of the 'Red Rock' city, the generals of the Heiyun Empire looked solemnly at the siege team that was still slowly moving forward under the constant harassment and impact of the Heiyun Empire cavalry brigade.Strongen sighed: "Their equipment is much better than ours. Their artillery, the strength of our country, is only [-]. This battle cannot be fought."

As the new army came, a prince who supervised the battle asked puzzledly: "We have more troops than them, and we are elites who have experienced many battles. Is there no way to deal with them?"

Tunguras patiently explained: "Your Highness, if it is a field battle, then we have a certain advantage, but they will definitely not fight us in the field. If we go out to attack, then they will defend the city. Inside the city, they rely on superior siege equipment to attack the city, and we have no way to deal with them."

Strongen sighed and said: "If we have the same artillery as them, then we can fight them fairly. Our soldiers are not weaker than them. First fight with them, and then abandon the city Back off."

Tunguras agreed: "Rely on natural dangers and stick with them..."

The prince became angry: "Are you going to keep retreating, retreating back to the imperial capital? You are the nobles of the empire, or the knights of the empire. Are you going to give up all your glory and retreat to your own mansion like a ghost afraid of death, hiding in your wives and concubines?" Is your skirt shaking?"

The prince's words were too harsh, and Strungen stared at him with a powerful and frightening aura, and said word by word: "We are not retreating, we are moving strategically when we really have no choice. Your Highness, if the empire provides us with the same artillery as theirs, we can fight fairly, otherwise, for the sake of the lives of the soldiers of the empire, we must find another fighter."

The prince almost sat down on the floor, Strongen's momentum was too scary.Tungulas smoothed things over and said: "Actually, they probably have more than [-] artillery pieces. If we can kill their artillery, this is the most ideal. If we use surprise soldiers to ambush, this combat goal can still be achieved. Of course. Well, our own artillery production must speed up. We have already suffered on their continent in the north before, but a large amount of money from the empire has been donated to the temple, and the development of artillery is just..."

There was a strange red light in the eyes of the great mages of several temples, and they said angrily: "Don't you doubt the great god? Isn't it right to dedicate money to the great god and let the great god bless the empire? Didn't develop enough artillery, yes The people in your military are incompetent, do you want to use this excuse to insult the temple?"

Strongen pushed away Tunguras who was already holding his hand on the hilt of his sword, and smiled at the several archmages: "Master Tunguras didn't mean that, please forgive me, forgive me, Now that the soldiers are pressing down on the border, Tungulas, you are going to take people out to attack for a while, anyway, after their troops approach, they will not dare to fire indiscriminately."

Tungulas agreed angrily, and went down the tower.A small group of cavalry from the Celestial Dynasty galloped back and forth near the city gate flamboyantly. Judging by the armor on their bodies, they were all low-ranking officers or cavalry with low status.

The prince who supervised the battle poked his head out and pointed curiously: "These people are those aliens? What strange costumes, can they defeat our empire?"

Strungen smiled, bowed slightly and said: "Of course not, my dear prince..."

In that small cavalry team, a thin man suddenly pulled out a huge strange-shaped bow, put on a long fine steel arrow, and pulled the bowstring all the way. Sound, there is a transparent hole in the prince's head, and a small injection of blood spurts out.The cavalry team cheered, and quickly pulled their horses back. General Li was very proud. He saw Strungen salute the prince, and subconsciously shot an arrow at him. The man who can make the commander of a country bow , must be more or less a person of status?

Strongen was stunned, as were the generals of the Black Cloud Empire around him, and the archmages of several temples also stood on the spot in a daze.This prince is the most favored royal family of the emperor of the Black Cloud Empire. Now, in front of them, the prince was shot to death by the opponent's archer. Everyone present will be accused of a little bit of crime.

Strungen yelled wildly: "You bastards who stab people in the back, come and fight with me." The prince made a "clack" sound from his throat, and fell to the ground, as if a mountain had collapsed, with a heavy blow It hit the hearts of those present.A commanding general asked in a low voice: "How is it possible? That archer is at least 150 feet away from here in a straight line, and even the strongest archer in the empire can't..."

Strongen took a long breath and said coldly: "I remember him, the most powerful and despicable archer among the aliens." He remembered the first time he fought against the Chinese army , the arrow that almost let go of the sword infused with powerful dou qi in his hand, that arrow, opened a skylight on the buttocks of the last imperial envoy.

The siege army of the Celestial Dynasty slowly camped ten miles away from the city. Nearby, nearly 200 million cavalry were still clashing and assassinating each other on the battlefield within a radius of a hundred miles. I got out of the camp.To the surprise of the Heiyun Empire military, the Celestial Dynasty army did not rely on arrogance to attack the city.

Only 30 defensive troops remained in Paradise City, and all the other troops marched thirty miles away from the cities where the Heiyun Empire garrisoned troops, threatening their flanks faintly, preventing them from having the courage to act rashly. The support of 'Red Rock' City. The offensive and defensive battle of 'Red Rock' city will start again, the only difference is that the containment army of the Celestial Dynasty has received a strict order and is forbidden to fight, they just need to make their momentum nearby.

Yang Tian's 'Heigu' city became an isolated city near the three cities occupied by the Heiyun Empire. He had a total of 50 troops under his command, and the Heiyun army in the three nearby cities exceeded 130 million, but they could only watch helplessly. Looking at Yang Tian's subordinates wandering around the city, it is impossible for them to conquer the city of 'River Valley', and their responsibilities do not allow them to rescue the city of 'Red Rock' regardless of everything, at the risk of the city falling. with.

The cavalry fight lasted for three hours. When the horses of both sides were exhausted, both sides withdrew their troops at the same time. The Heiyun Imperial Army supporting them could not break through the blocking of the Celestial Army, and the Celestial Army watched their own army faintly. Red Rock' City was separated from the reinforcements.After calming down, Strungen has already begun to figure out how to get the army to retreat safely. There are more than 60 troops in the city of 'Red Rock' and the two camps to the south. capture.

The siege army of the Celestial Dynasty was delayed for three days under the city. These three days were like years for the entire Heiyun Imperial Army. The armies from all sides were waiting to see the result of the first confrontation, but the Celestial Dynasty did not move. The elite Heiyun soldiers who have experienced hundreds of battles couldn't help but feel a little nervous.Some of the soldiers who fought against the Chinese army in the Western Continent also began to recall the disastrous defeat at that time, which also slightly affected the morale of the Black Cloud Empire.

In Longfeng's room, there was a huge sand table. Seeing that within a distance of only a thousand miles, more than ten million troops from both sides had gathered, plus there were not many local residents. Longfeng was depressed. Sigh: "This population density is comparable to the most perverted modern city on the planet. There is no way to deploy troops on such a small battlefield... There are three armies coming over, damn it, what will happen then? Play? Shouldn't it be suggested..." He rushed to find Yang Tian.

In less than a meal, Yang Tian dispatched messengers to deliver one of his documents to Wenyuan's camp.It is suggested that the three-way army should not continue to drive here, but avoid the traditional sphere of influence of the Heiyun Empire, and land from another continent where their control is relatively weak, so that the Heiyun Empire will be attacked by the enemy, and the number of troops here will also be saved. If there are too many, there will be problems with the deployment.

Wen Yuan pondered for a while, and quickly wrote a document, explaining that he should send it back to Shengjing as quickly as possible, and then gave the order to siege the city.

More than 200 huge boulders rose from the ground and smashed towards the head of the "Red Rock" with a roar. A few boulders that were not strong enough made love to the outer wall of the city wall, and brought down a large piece of bricks, earth and rocks. They all swayed a few times.Then, with the cracking sound of flesh and blood, pieces of black cloud soldiers were swept out, meat sauce wrapped on the boulder, and rolled into the city.

Five thousand cannons slowly raised their barrels and aimed at the city wall of 'Hongyan', although in Longfeng's eyes, these cannons were nothing more than small-caliber field cannons, and they were the most primitive That kind, but for this world that is still in the era of cold weapons, it is already extremely powerful firepower.

Stretching for more than five miles, countless fireballs erupted from the northern wall of 'Red Rock' City. The dull explosion made the whole ground tremble. The sound was overwhelmed.

Under the cover of gunpowder smoke and flames, more than a dozen trucks were quickly pushed under the city wall, which contained more than three thousand catties, which was called the most powerful zha drug in the era of Longfeng.More than a hundred Chinese soldiers lit the fuse, and then ran desperately towards their camp.

They quickly ran more than 200 feet, and the medicine cart, which was burning a little faster, exploded, and their figures were also swallowed by the huge fireball.The powerful shock wave blew up one-third of the northern city wall of the 'Red Rock' city, and then destroyed a large number of buildings in the city. Under the power of such explosives beyond the times, these civil-structure dwellings were simply smashed to pieces. up.

Ten miles away from the city, the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty felt the powerful heat wave and the huge tremors on the ground.Wen Yuan and a group of senior generals opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the small, weird mushroom cloud over the city of 'Red Rock'.

In the service, more than 2 soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire guarding the city of "Red Rock" were deaf for life.After Strungen and Tunguras woke up from the powerful explosion, they roared and gave the order to retreat completely.When the army of the Celestial Dynasty entered the city of 'Red Rock', there were only corpses all over the ground, and tens of thousands of 'Red Rock' residents struggling and moaning on the blood-stained ground.

Wen Yuan was silent for a long time, then he asked in a low voice, "How much of this medicine did we bring?"

One of his adjutants stammered the report: "Five ships, more than 20 catties."

Wen Yuan nodded and ordered: "In the future, the warehouse where these zha medicines are stored must be more than [-] miles away from the main camp. When marching, the vehicles transported must not approach the queue for [-] miles. Anyone who violates the order will be killed." The order was quick. conveyed.

Yang Tian and the others who sat drinking at the head of the 'River Valley' watched as the black clouds of soldiers left the city in an orderly manner, slowly retreating to the south, and at the same time a fire broke out in the city.Yang Tian exclaimed: "Damn it, these bastards, they are setting fire to the food and grass that they can't take away, let me rush to put out the fire... at most, there will be no food to eat if they burn all the food and grass. Lost those gold and silver jewels..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Zeng Guoxuan and Jiang Chunshui led people to jump off the top of the wall. An unlucky guy sprained his foot, and strange noises started shouting under the top of the wall.

Longfeng smiled wryly at the side, he just saw what happened in the city of 'Red Rock' with his divine sense, did the army of the Celestial Dynasty, who had mastered the powerful zha drug, rush into the battlefield without trying its power? More than 3000 catties*. . .They actually put it on like this, and they still used their hands to light the fire.

The Black Cloud Empire retreated very cautiously, giving up a large area of ​​land.The army of the Celestial Dynasty slowly sent off at the back, and at the same time took over the regime along the way. Those who suddenly popped up and announced that they were the nobles of such and such a certain kingdom were all dealt with by the killers of the secret camp.

Wen Yuan did not dare to order a surprise attack on the retreating black cloud army. They were ready to counterattack at any time. Wen Yuan was unwilling to blindly consume his own strength in a battle that could not be taken advantage of. Therefore, the two sides were separated by thirty miles. After walking all the way for more than 20 days, the army of the Black Cloud Empire finally stopped on the other side of a large river in the east-west direction, relying on this river to set up a new line of defense.The Celestial Army also stopped, and set up countless forts on this side of the river, and began to prepare for the next assault.

Strungen's request letters were poured into the imperial capital like snowflakes, and the Black Cloud Empire began to make all the ordnance he needed.In the letter, Strungen made a judgment based on the current situation: "If within three months, more than [-] cannons and the corresponding guns cannot be provided, the Black Cloud Empire will definitely perish... Your minister, only It lasted three months."

In order to thwart the preparations of the Celestial Dynasty, the Black Cloud Empire sent small groups of troops across the river at night to carry out suicidal attacks, but also burned a lot of ships, wood and other items, causing the Celestial Dynasty military a headache for a while. . .

The only ones with a big heart were Yang Tian and others. They searched all the way from the rear of the palace. There were already a lot of baggage carts mixed in the marching queue. The heavy things inside were either gold or silver, or pearls or treasures.Once they return to the Celestial Dynasty, at least everyone in the guards will be rich. . .
