www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Young Master Fierce!
The Guan Xiaoxi Division of the First Army of the Great Xia Army, which Fu Xiaoguan was worried about, still stayed in Ephesus.
It’s just that this city is currently besieged by a million-strong army of the Seleucid Dynasty.
In the city guard's mansion, Marquis Welles was very anxious.
He has learned some Daxia language these days. Although it is a bit difficult to pronounce, there are not many problems with basic communication.
At this moment, he was speaking in broken Daxia dialect to Guan Xiaoxian, who looked leisurely:
"Your Excellency, the great army commander, the million-strong army outside is led by Count Arista himself!"
"Count Arista has a force of 300,000 spearmen, and they also brought cannons... Your Excellency, are you really not worried at all?"
Guan Xiaoxi grinned. He walked up to the Marquis of Welles and patted him on the shoulder affectionately. He did not answer Welles's question, but asked: "You said, I'll give you some stuff." Did he receive the letter from Emperor Liugu I?"
Wellis was startled, calculated the time, and shook his head: "It's not that fast. It will take at least two months to get to Antioch, the imperial capital."
Guan Xiaoxi raised his eyebrows, "That's a pity."
"What are you sorry for?"
"I can only destroy his army of millions first!"
Wellis was startled. He thought Commander Guan would go to the city wall to take a look, but he didn't expect Guan Xiaoxi to sit down instead.
Is this military commander so confident?
Wellis then thought about it, and now there are 400,000 of his troops in the city of Ephesus. If he uses those things that can fly into the sky to explode, Count Arista's million-strong army seems to be really Not a threat.
Guan Xiaoxi’s arrangement for this battle is really like this.
This is an unprecedented expedition. Guan Xiaoxi’s decision after discussing with Peng Yuyan and others is still to reduce the casualties of the troops as much as possible, because the road ahead is still unknown, and the enemy in front is Don't know how many there are yet.
But the bombs used in this bombing were not those brought with the army, but incendiary bombs modified from the fire and powder in the armory of Ephesus.
Of course Guan Xiaoxi was not worried at all about the outcome of this battle. He made a pot of tea and chatted with Peng Yuyan:
"After this battle, we have to set off. We also know where that guy is now. If the sea route he takes goes smoothly, he will be much faster than us."
"After being delayed here for two months, the march will have to be accelerated later. It would be best if Seleucus I received my letter and allowed us to pass smoothly. I have no intention of trying to move him through again. Take down the city of Antioch."
Peng Yuyan thought for a while, "After the results of this battle reached the ears of Seleucus I... I think he will not stop us anymore."
If Seleucus I’s million-strong army was completely annihilated, how could Seleucus I have the courage to stop this invincible army!
I'm afraid he will also think of that prophecy.
The destination of this army is Frankie, so why should he be the goalkeeper for Frankie.
The atmosphere in the city guard's mansion was very relaxed. After spending two months with Guan Xiaoxi and others, Welles suddenly found that his hostility towards this army was completely gone. He felt that this was a A great army, he even hoped that he could be a member of this army to witness their miracle of conquering Europe.
Guan Xiaoxi and others do not have the kind of opinions that are different from those of my race. Welles has cooperated well with them in the past two months, telling them everything about this strange world, and even Assisting them to appease the city of Ephesus kept Gujing calm, so Guan Xiaoxian did not regard Welles as an enemy.
What's more, the army needs a guide and someone to communicate with the countries along the way. Welles can now speak the Bactrian language. He is the most suitable guide and the most suitable diplomat.
The three of them sat around the city guard's palace. Bai Yulian began to formulate the next march plan. The gunfire outside had not yet sounded. Outside the city of Ephesus, Count Arista stood on the Chinese army's chariot. He was looking at this heavily guarded city with his telescope.
The people standing on the city wall are of course Daxia soldiers wearing silver armor.
It doesn’t seem like there are many people. According to Count Arista’s estimation, there are probably only about 100,000 people on the city wall... He already knows that this is an army coming from the east, but he does not know that this army is coming from the east. How powerful is the army?
Based on his war experience, it is not difficult to attack a city with a hundred thousand defenders with a million troops... ten times the number, not to mention he still has a full three hundred thousand guns in his hand. soldiers.
The other party also had a gun in his hand, which looked the same as his own. It was obviously seized from the city of Ephesus.
I don’t know how the Marquis of Welles was able to defend the city. Such a majestic city with so many defenders failed to defend it.
When this city is captured, I will sue him in front of the king!
After Earl Arista carefully observed it carefully and found nothing else except the enemy's silver armor, he felt relieved and issued the order:
"The whole army...attack the city...!"
The noisy war drums sounded, and the mighty troops flowed forward like a torrent.
While the people in Ephesus were panicking, something strange happened in their hearts - Count Arista was supposed to be here to rescue them, but in the past two months they had unknowingly accepted those people from Great Xia soldiers!
These soldiers are very good, they never bully any common people.
After they arrived, the security of the city of Ephesus was better than before. They won the welcome of the people in the city with their strict military discipline and the smiles on their faces, so that they felt that these soldiers were not soldiers at all. The invaders seemed to be here to help them.
But now the city is about to be attacked, so of course these soldiers in silver armor are going to fight. I heard that the one coming is Count Arista, and I heard that there is a million-strong army outside the city...
They don't know who to help.
But at least they didn't stab the Daxia soldiers in the back.
They could only watch, not even praying for victory.
Count Arista's army moved forward, and his gunners pushed the cannons into range.
That's when.
Count Arista suddenly raised his head, his pupils shrank and his brows tightened. In the telescope, he saw the airship rising from the city of Ephesus!
"Boom...!"
The cannon on the city wall opened fire first under the control of the Daxia Army. They were masters at playing with this thing. The cannon happened to fall into the enemy's front camp.
The artillery shells exploded, and more than ten enemy soldiers were scattered with flesh and blood.
Count Arista's army was still moving forward, and the square turrets on the city wall roared at this moment.
However, Count Arista did not look at the battlefield ahead. He still raised his head and paid close attention to the flying things, and a chill suddenly appeared in his heart.
