Monarch of Evernight: Twenty-seven strong men assault
bsp;The new army in Tacheng has basically completed its training, and the overall situation in the country of Zheng has gradually become clearer. In the process of establishing the Western Expedition Corridor, Qianye wiped out the remaining forces of the Second Prince. Let those who have doubts about his force be completely silenced.
The other princes were no match for Nan Ruohuai, who held the imperial army. They were defeated in battles and fled to death, leaving only two or three die-hards still resisting. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that these princes are in a doomed situation. Even if they win one or two battles, it is useless. Even if the entire forbidden army is wiped out, Qianye will turn around and destroy them.
Now that the overall situation is clear, there are far fewer people resisting, and Qianye does not need to send a large number of mercenaries to maintain the occupation. He left three thousand mercenaries on Xudong Island, two thousand in Liaocheng, and all the remaining five thousand mercenaries were transferred to Tacheng. At the same time, Qianye also sent people back to the neutral ground and transferred another 20,000 mercenaries. At the same time, he ordered An Huo to recruit 50,000 new soldiers and start training.
During this period, in addition to handling military affairs, Qianye also practiced day and night. The force of dawn advanced by leaps and bounds. Three days before the start of the Western Expedition, Qianye's nine force vortexes had been cultivated to perfection.
At this moment, when he looked inside, he could see that the Force vortex was like a sea of golden light. The Force had become extremely dense, slowly flowing and rotating, and it was filled with countless golden particles. Above the Force vortex, golden flames were burning everywhere, extremely hot.
Such a force vortex has no way forward. Even if it is carefully polished with Song's ancient scrolls, the condensed force will no longer be absorbed. Now Qianye, as long as he takes a small step forward, he can cross the Divine General Heavenly Pass and accomplish a great feat that not many people in the empire can accomplish.
However, at the moment of breakthrough, Qianye was shocked to discover a fatal problem!
It is precisely because the morning light in the force vortex is too pure that the density of those golden liquids is extremely high, and the stars are naturally crystallized during this period. If you want to condense them again, all of them will be crystallized by liquid, which is not easy. ? At least when Qianye tried, he tried his best, but couldn't compress the original liquid enough to crystallize.
That is to say, on his own, he may never be able to break through the Divine General's Heavenly Barrier.
When he discovered this, Qianye stayed for a long time. People in the world were worried that the force was not pure enough. He did not expect that being too pure would have the opposite effect.
After being stunned, Qianye was not depressed at all. Back then, due to old injuries, he needed twice as many times the force as an ordinary person at each level. At that time, it was very unlikely that he could even be promoted to a general, so he did not come here. If you can't rely on your own efforts, then look for external opportunities.
The news of Qian Ye’s Western Expedition spread throughout the Zheng Kingdom. The ministers in the court had mixed reactions, but the mainstream voice was opposition.
For several days, the ministers headed by the Chief Assistant have tried their best to persuade Nan Ruohuai to find a way to stop Qianye's Western Expedition, and their words have even become so fierce that it is almost like a face-to-face quarrel.
The first assistant's opinion is that once Qianye's Western Expedition succeeds, all the large corridors will surely fall into his hands, and the entire exit of Zheng will be blocked, leaving no way for expansion. So, what’s the future?
Looking at the impassioned ministers below, Nan Ruohuai, who was on the throne, felt angry and ridiculous.
In the past few decades, the Zheng Kingdom has suffered more defeats and fewer wins against the dark races in the Western Territory. They have relied on the tower city defense system to survive, and the dark races have built the fortress right at their doorstep. Are they still expanding? Tacheng's ability to survive to this day is still due to the talent of Xu Jingxuan, a general. If it had been anyone else, the dark races would have flooded in like a tide.
Now these civil servants are all afraid that Qianye will take advantage, and they will not allow others to take things that they cannot get. This is probably the mentality of these people.
Thinking of this, Nan Ruohuai remained calm and asked calmly: "How can I stop this?"
At present, the ministers are offering suggestions, and there are all kinds of tricks, and some even deal with the dark race internally and externally, and attack from both internally and externally. This is really a rhythm of doing everything possible to kill Qianye.
Nan Ruohuai listened quietly until the ministers were all thirsty and had to come to an end. Fang said: "The strategies you have proposed are all very good. So now, who is willing to lead the troops? , Take back Tacheng for me?”
There was suddenly silence above the court hall.
Qianye, who was in Tacheng, did not know about these episodes in Zheng Guo's court, and the domestic trends in Zheng Guo were not important to him at all.
On the day of the Western Expedition, Qianye did not hold any ceremonies. He just issued orders as usual, and the assembled army set off one by one as planned. As for boosting morale, no speech can be as powerful as swarms of floating warships in the sky.
In the middle area between the dark race and the human race fortress group, because it has been used as a battlefield all year round, there is basically no human habitation, and no dark race tribe survives. Some are just raven hunters wandering around in the middle, trying to hunt something. They are cruel and cunning, always looking for opportunities.
However, in front of Qianye's aerial fleet, any wilderness hunter becomes a prey. Looking at the huge shadows whizzing by above their heads, these hunters, whether human or dark races, can only desperately hide themselves, Praying not to be discovered.
The entrance to the Grand Corridor began to tremble like never before. The roar of naval guns shook the mountains and the earth trembled. Stone castles collapsed, and small fortresses were engulfed in flames by cannonballs falling from the sky. The defenders of the stone castle and the fortress fled in panic, but what awaited them were gunboats circling at low altitude, and mercenaries who landed outside the fortress in advance on transport ships.
The number of airborne mercenaries was not large, but they were extremely ferocious, and their firepower was so dense that the firepower of a small force of more than a hundred people was so overwhelming that the fortress guards of five to six hundred people could not hold their heads up.
The retreat was cut off, and many dark races became aggressive and charged the mercenaries brazenly. They have always looked down on the human race and always felt that Zheng soldiers represented cowardice and cowardice. No matter how many troops there were, they could be defeated with just one charge.
However, they did not know that the people standing in front of them this time were not the Zheng army, but Qianye's Dark Fire mercenaries.
The extremely ferocious firepower killed most of the dark warriors midway. The werewolf's proud short sprint was like a joke in front of the violent metal jets. Werewolves fell down one after another, with at least dozens of bullet holes in their bodies.
Of the more than five hundred dark warriors, only about a hundred were left when they rushed to the defense line. The dark warrior was not discouraged, but became more excited, urging himself to enter a bloodthirsty state. In past experience, as long as they break into the human defense line, a dozen dark warriors can defeat hundreds of human warriors. Close-range combat has always been the domain of werewolves.
Although the werewolves rushed into the defense line, the mercenaries did not panic. They dropped their force guns one after another, drew their sabers and swords, and jumped forward.
The remaining dark warriors felt as if they had hit a metal wall for an instant. Their swords and claws were unable to do anything to the heavy armor of the mercenaries. On the other hand, the mercenaries' power was beyond imagination, and they could almost kill them with one strike. Can split most of a werewolf in half.
With just a countercharge, there were only a dozen dark warriors left standing. They only survived for more than ten seconds before being killed in the mercenaries' second counterattack.
Similar scenes were staged at the front of the grand corridor. Qianye's troops continued to attack, destroying the castle, intercepting the fleeing enemies, and uprooting the strongholds on the periphery of the two large fortresses one by one. The cooperation between the fleet, transport ships and ground mercenaries is very tacit and clear-cut, eating away at the dark race's troops one by one.
All this happened so quickly that even the werewolves in the two fortresses did not fully realize what was happening. Most of the small outer fortresses and stone fortresses had already fallen, and there were as many as tens of thousands of dark warriors. Either dead or captured.
The fortress commander's order came late. It was impossible to organize an effective counterattack on the spot. The only option was to recall the troops from the stronghold outside the city to the fortress first. However, under the full interception of the Dark Fire Fleet, only half of them could succeed. retreat.
It wasn't until nightfall that the first day's assault came to an end. When the generals summarized the statistics of the results and submitted them, Qianye also became energetic.
In this battle, more than 40 outlying strongholds were eradicated, and more than 15,000 dark race troops were annihilated, including more than 6,000 prisoners. Most of the prisoners were werewolves, but there were also a few nerubians and vampires.
In this way, although there are still more than 20,000 defenders in the two large fortresses, the difficulty of attacking has been reduced a lot due to the loss of the outer barrier and the loss of 15,000 soldiers.
When Xu Jingxuan rushed to see Qianye, the circles under his eyes had sunken deeply and he looked extremely tired. However, he was very excited and brought the defense plans of the two fortresses and reported the attack plan.
The plan he came up with was very detailed and comprehensive, and even fully took into account the advantages of the fleet. According to his plan, attacking the fortress would require the sacrifice of two to three thousand people.
Logically speaking, it is completely acceptable to only suffer so many casualties when attacking such a large fortress. However, Qianye clicked on the sign of the fortress's main gun and asked, "Do you focus your main energy here?"
"Yes, sir. According to existing intelligence, only the firepower of your battle patrol can destroy this main gun and resist its bombardment. During this period, there must be enough supporting firepower to simultaneously suppress other turrets in the city to prevent They gathered fire and patrolled."
Qianye nodded and said: "Leave this turret to me, you can revise the plan again."
"Sir, you..."
"Do this."
"Yes!" Xu Jingxuan hurried away, feeling panic and a little excited. He could finally see Qianye take action!
What Qianye said just now, in tactical terms, means a strong attack. Although in theory the strong one determines the outcome of the battlefield, in actual battles, the strong one's assault is not a conventional option, and even fewer people put on top combat power at the beginning. Especially when the opponent is a fixed position, it is difficult to predict the level of danger. Once something goes wrong, the battle will immediately collapse.
Although Xu Jingxuan had long known that Qianye was powerful, he broke into the fortress alone to annihilate the main cannon. Such a move would not have been attempted even if Liu Zhongyuan was still alive.
In the early morning of the next day, when the morning light illuminated the earth, the Dark Fire Fleet had already taken off again, rushing towards the fortress Wolf Fang like a dark cloud.
As soon as the fleet arrived over the fortress, Qianye jumped down from the battle patrol and rushed towards the main gun of the fortress.
The main cannon in the fortress that was ready roared, the muzzle sprayed out an astonishing fire, and a ball of blazing fire blasted towards Qianye!
In the real field of vision, an extremely thick line of dark force came towards me. This shot was really of an excellent quality. The personal target was so small, and Qianye's movements were so sudden, he could actually aim accurately. However, Qianye's figure flashed and disappeared from its place. The blazing fireball blasted away and continued upwards, hitting a gunboat that could not avoid it and completely shattering its rear part.
