Power and Empire Chapter 2314: Wind up (2)
Because it is backed by the Western Basin, the temperature in northwestern Central Piazza in February is much warmer than the western mainland. At the Loushan Pass, the western gateway of the Central Piazza Empire, the guard Long Wuyang saw the last patrolling Qingqi returning to the fortress. , The cold face became more solemn, and there is still no news. Since Lord Longyang left the customs to go to the West, it was like a kite with a cut off the line. On the contrary, news about the interception and killing of the Dongting people along the way came back. The dragon family in the west was shrouded in a dark cloud that was colder than the cold winter. The female leader of the ancient night disc that was attacked and killed by the Dongting people took part in the battle personally. Five hundred elites were drawn from various parts of the Dongting, and Longyang accompanied only two hundred. Long Jiawei Cavalry, even if each of these Long Jiawei Cavaliers is a warrior who has experienced many battles, but in such a vast land, the longbow fast horse of the Eastern Court archer is the real master, and the night tale is also the ancient disc. It’s not a general, its leader, Yelu Qiyeguang, is even more fierce.
"My lord, let's go back and rest first!" Deputy General Wang Sheng walked up from behind and said.
"Resting? The emperor’s special envoy has entered the Guangling, the headquarters of our western army. The emperor is limited by the end of March. If the adults have not returned by that time, we must flatter the Zhangwu army from the battle between the western army and the emperor. Edit, in such a situation, how can I rest safely" Long Wuyang looked at the dark earth in the distance with bloodshot eyes, and clenched his fingers into a fist, really wishing that he smashed the black cloud in front of him with a fist and let himself It’s good to see what happened,
Fawning Zhangwu Army was one body with the Western Army decades ago, but since the two armies had feuded and split, it has already been a situation of fire and water. This time the shame of the emperor, flattering Zhangwu Army 30 Ten thousand people were defeated by the Dongting Army, which became the key to the fiasco of Emperor Jing. For such an army, not to mention the grievances and grievances in front, how can the glory of the Western Army that have guarded the country for a hundred years join it? The Western Army and the flattering Zhangwu Army It has long been a self-contained unit. Every time there is a dispute between the two sides, Zhongli Yang always biased and flattered Zhang Wujun more.
Everyone knows the reason. Zhong Ryoyang couldn’t stand the Western army in his eyes. Although he was incompetent in flattering Zhang Wujun, for those civil servants, he could just call it and leave it, and put the same order on the contrary. It’s impossible for the Western Army. The Long Family Patriarch, decades ago, with the determination of a strong man to break his wrist, said that "the Western Army Long Family’s oath is better than flattering the land of Zhangwu", that is, from that moment, the West Army’s Long Family truly Get rid of the restraint from Zhongxinyang, otherwise the 200,000 Western Army will definitely be dragged out and the Dongting Army in the battle of Emperor Beijing, just like the defeated Yanzhou Army, and eventually become powerful ministers for their own benefit. And sacrificed victims
" I heard that the emperor’s special envoy entered from the main entrance of Guangling, which was only accessible by the Long Family Patriarch. It seems that I can’t help it!" Vice Admiral Wang Sheng said with an ugly face, "Fairy Zhang Wujun lost in the Imperial Capital. Most of the weapons and equipment are said to have lost a full twenty miles. If it weren’t for the Dongting people who were busy looting the city, I’m afraid that there would not even be one escaped. If we really took our Western army to fill in the gap in flattering Zhangwu , I'm afraid that the 200,000 Western Army will no longer exist, but the general is not in Guangling, and there is no news from the West. What can we do? Or should I send an elite scout to cross the border to investigate?"
"Crossing the boundary? I'm afraid it's not that easy!"
Long Wuyang retracted his gaze from a distance, smiling bitterly at the corner of his mouth, "The opposite side is no longer the Gaul world, so even the former frontier army has been changed. Last time I personally explored it and encountered a patrolling cavalry from the other side. , I opened my eyes, all black horses, with spikes on the head and body of the horse, the cavalry on it was as black as water, with a bow-like weapon on its back, and we saw our horses turning neatly from a hundred meters away. His movements are like a storm rolled up on the flat ground. The murderous depression can be felt even in all kinds of hundred meters. I dare say that the western army of the two hundred thousand dragon family, except for the general's Long Jiawei, I definitely can’t find a second one, but Long Jiawei is only a few people, but more than two thousand, it is the result of the general's innumerable efforts, and the opposite is just an ordinary side army, so it is no wonder that we are entangled with us. The Gauls of decades have been swept away by the opponent in just a few years. They are really not of the same grade. I heard that the Falcon Empire army on the opposite side has a total of 10,000, and they are all truly top-notch elites. The army, rather than a miscellaneous unit like Gaul, if we provoked hostility to the other side because of our unauthorized actions, there are more than a thousand people in our pass, I am afraid that we can’t even squeeze the opponent’s teeth."
" Thousands of thousands of deputy general Wang Sheng showed a trace of amazement, the forces of the two sides are too far apart,
The Loushan Pass is a gateway, but because it was built according to the mountain, the number of troops stationed is only 1,500. With rotation, the current force at the pass is less than 1,000. Since the demise of Gaul, it has been several years The peace here is not as tense as before. The main task of guarding is to enter the pedestrians and caravans. Pedestrians need to pass the customs, and the caravans are simpler. As long as they are willing to send some, they will take care of them. Time, the defenders can be considered very moist, but General Longyang has not returned, the news has been cut off, and the envoy sent by Zhongyang Zhongyang is pressing hard to make this small town located in the westernmost part of the country. The portal is not calm anymore
Seeing the main general Long Wuyang descend from the city wall, the soldiers on duty at night can finally relax,
"Come on, don't stand up! How can I do without wine in such a cold day"
Everyone digs their waists. I made up two jars of wine with less water, and found a long table to put more than a dozen large bowls. On such a cold night, it is the happiest thing to have a hot drink, and it is no longer the case. During the war, there is no need to stare at the opposite side nervously. I am afraid that a leak will see as many enemies as ants below the city wall. Although these defenders have suffered a lot and have gone through several years of war, they are now idle. It’s no different from other ordinary soldiers. The overall situation of the Western Army has nothing to do with them. They just take food and eat, and the lower-level officers will not stop everyone from eating. Some simply mix together. If they are too strong to drink, they are already drunk. Land,
also carried a big bowl, boasting of his previous military history amidst the noise of the crowd, "You haven’t seen it, that time, 50,000 or 60,000 people from the Gallic army violently attacked the pass, my God, go from above. Looking down, in addition to the human head or the human head, the Xiguo barbarians are already tall and weighed. Wearing the heavy armor that does not know how heavy they are, they can bounce their bows and arrows when they shoot them. I picked up the knife and killed three... ... "Just as a group of people was making noise, suddenly a soldier stood up in a daze, walked to the battlement to relieve his hands, unconsciously raised his head, his body shuddered, and he didn't even lift his pants, so he cried and howled. Ran back and yelled "Something happened!"
With a pop, the squad leader who was describing how brave he was, filled his mouth with drinks and sprinkled a lot of flowers and rain, spraying all the faces of the nearby people, and the nearby people couldn’t control this, anyway. The experienced army guards reacted quite quickly. They picked up their weapons and rushed to their position. Sure enough, they saw a red line appearing on the edge of the ground in front of them. It was the light formed by countless torches.
" What's going on? "Long Wuyang hurriedly ran up to the city wall, his eyes were red like rabbits, and the cold night wind hit his face, but there was a **** smell on his face. In the direction of the line of fire, it was a falcon. The direction of the empire, is it really a crow's mouth? Did the ten thousand elite empire troops really come over tonight? The people of Dongting broke the Imperial Capital, and the main force of the Central Biya Empire lost more than half of it, and it is no longer able to fight. The Falcon Empire in the Western Continent came again to plunder by fire. . . . . . . Long Wuyang’s mouth is full of desolation. Tonight, whether you are a soldier in the Central and Bianbian army or the Long Family West Army, there is no reason to retreat
" The whole army was preparing for war, and everyone went up to the city wall! "Long Wuyang gave the order with a solemn expression, and the barracks in the pass were also exploded. The bells representing the police shook the night sky, and the walls on both sides immediately Full of archers, the sound of the bowstring pulling open is like rolling thunder before a rainstorm, the red line on the opposite side is increasing, more and more, like a huge fire cloud moving at high speed
" How many people are these!" A Chinese soldier swallowed nervously. The hand holding the weapon felt cold all over and he didn’t know what to do. He didn’t know what to do, he was timid. Yes, the weapons in my hand are trembling. They belonged to the eighteen large trebuchets in the Pass Fortress, because they have not been used in the past two years. The winches have been rusted under the wind and rain in the humid northwest. , Some places even rust to death, more than a dozen trebuchets are now temporarily erected, but they can’t open their long arms.
"What the trebuchet is doing! Pull it away!" Lieutenant General Wang Sheng ran over in person, breathless, and the bragging squad leader just now smiled helplessly. How can this trebuchet be pulled apart? It's all rusted to death, let me try! Wang Sheng was also dumbfounded. Who would have thought that this first-line pass fortress would have become like this after two years of not fighting. It is no wonder that when the people of Dongting first stepped on the Imperial Capital for fifty miles, they ordered the closure of the Imperial Capital. The door, it took a full half a day. For this half a day, more than 50,000 Imperial Japanese soldiers dyed red and sprinkled the Changting Nanhe Road, which is less than ten miles away from the Imperial Capital. The sudden war came at this moment. All the potential of everyone was forced out. It took more than ten minutes to beat and chisel. Eight of the twelve trebuchets were opened, and four of them were completely abandoned.
" Bouncing!" Seeing the gesture from the city wall, the deputy general Wang Sheng shouted. The soldiers hurriedly pushed the huge solid stone bombs into it. Don’t look at the number of trebuchets, but they were all in the middle. The largest Wusheng-class catapult among the defense weapons in Biya, each has a 15-meter-long arm, which occupies a footing of five square meters and is firmly fixed. The soldiers pushing the stone bullets need three, and the stone-sling distance More than two hundred and fifty steps, in such a pass, such a large-scale stone sling is absolutely a nightmare existence for any attacker. The Gauls once suffered here,
In just ten minutes, the red cloud outside has approached a distance of three to four hundred meters
"The archer is ready!"; Long Wuyang is holding a long scorpion, standing on the wall, the blade is shining coldly, the archers on both sides are already winding the bow and arrow, and the cold is shining. At this time, everyone can see the front clearly. Under the situation, they took a breath of air-conditioning. Under the red flames, all black armored horses, and everyone's body was rising with white air. It was the weapon of the night, and many armored soldiers also buckled the ferocious iron. On the face, the dark opening, there is also white gas inside. Such a group of murderous gods suddenly emerging from flames, densely stopped in the distance, there are thousands of people, and only the one in front is seen. The general yelled, and part of the black cavalry lined up to jump off the horse, took off their shields and crossbows from the horse, prepared their equipment, and placed them on the other cavalry horses that did not dismount
"Attention, the enemy is coming up!"
Long Wuyang shook Chang Shuo in the handshake nervously. He didn't understand what the other party said, but he could probably guess some. It would be fake if he wasn't nervous. There were more than a thousand people in the entire pass. There are only less than five hundred heavy infantry left, but the heavy infantry on your side is completely incomparable with the opponent. The opponent dismounted to attack the city. Judging from the opponent's sturdy aura, it is definitely an elite unit in the hundred zhan, even better. What I saw on the border last time was even stronger, relying on 500 heavy infantry to try to stop it from climbing~IndoMTL.com~ is too extravagant, but as a Chinese soldier, guarding the home of the Western army in China, Even if you die here, never let an enemy step over
Just as the defenders on the pass were desperate, the black cavalry that had been fully prepared seemed to have given some order, and the dense queue spread out from the middle, and one man and one horse slowly came out of the line and approached the pass
" is the enemy’s general? "Long Wuyang’s eyes were angrily open. If it weren’t too far away, he would have the urge to open a bow and shoot a bunch of arrows. Whether he could shoot or not, the Chinese soldiers had the courage and courage. Po must not give in, but the next moment, he heard the chaos around him
" is the general!" Someone shouted, and saw a man and a horse moving forward alone, with a tall and tall figure, with smoke rising from its own. He wears black armor, and his sideburns are very eye-catching with white hair. He also carried a black horse in his hand, the blade was shining, and the mane of the horse was flying under the hip. Perhaps he was moving on his homeland, standing up from fifty meters away, struggling to grow his body! Isn’t it the General Longyang who I’ve been looking forward to returning?
" Rong Guizi, you bastard, are you going to let me spend the night outside? Don't open the door yet!" Patriarch Long Yang heard a familiar voice, and Long Wu Yang slapped his face with depression. The joy of living, this voice, this little name, who else except the general!
" Hurry up, open the city gate and welcome the general's return! "Long Wuyang shouted like crazy, tears streaming down his face, the general is back, and the western army no longer needs to look at people's faces, (to be continued) [ 】If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets.
