C966 The Flood of War(part I)
The messenger he sent out was actually beheaded by Lee Yang, and his corpse was now hanging on the city wall of Da Di City. The army of one hundred thousand soldiers of Da Di City had also arrived at the city wall. They didn't seem to be worried about their reinforcements. The army of Da Xiu City and Da Yu City had already arrived. Currently, the army of over two hundred thousand soldiers had been amassed in the Great Dragon City. Could it be that Lee Yang wanted to use a mere one hundred thousand soldiers to defeat his city?
This was too arrogant.
This man was like a shooting star that had suddenly appeared. He had never heard of such a figure before. There had never been any records of this person in the history of the ancient era. Although the primeval era was currently in chaos, it was merely the central plateaus. The few cities in the remote areas were not affected by the flames of war, even if the central plateaus had been turned into a pot of porridge. Da Xiu City was still peaceful and peaceful.
However, Lee Yang's appearance had completely messed up the rhythm of the war. He was like a feces stirring stick that had completely destroyed the peace and quiet that originally belonged to the Great Dragon City. Furthermore, he was far from satisfied.
Yuwen Cangji was infuriated. He decided to teach Lee Yang a lesson. He couldn't do whatever he wanted in the ancient era just by pulling up his army. A hundred thousand soldiers wasn't enough to fill the gaps between his teeth.
"Pass on my order. Everyone, attack. We must defeat the hundred thousand soldiers of Cang Liu Empire in one fell swoop. Let him know how iron-blooded the men of Great Dragon City are. " Yuwen Cangji stood in the main hall and said to Piao Xianzhu, the Grand Marshal of ___.
Piao Xianzhu was the general with the highest reputation in Great Dragon City. He had already been stripped of his armor and returned to the fields ten years ago. But this time, the Great Dragon City faced an unprecedented crisis. He was used again. Even the few ministers who had opposed Piao Xianzhu the most kept silent. They knew. Piao Xianzhu's ability was dozens or even hundreds of times greater than theirs when it came to war. They only knew how to talk, and they did not know how to fight at all.
Piao Xianzhu also felt a little bitter in his heart. His contribution was too great. The greatest taboo of generals was to have high achievements. Therefore, ten years ago, before the city lord made a move against him, he took the initiative to go into seclusion in the fields. But even so, a few of his generals were still impeached by the civil servants. They were exiled to death. Piao Xianzhu was not strong enough and could only watch his subordinates being expelled by the city lord.
Now that Great Dragon City was in trouble, he was once again given the position of Grand Marshal. But Piao Xianzhu was not happy at all. He understood that if he won this battle, what awaited him would not be honor. It's an even more terrifying impeachment and the City Lord's distrust. However, there was no way he would not go out to battle. If he remained silent, Great Dragon City would probably be finished.
The Cang Liu Empire that suddenly appeared was just too powerful. Piao Xianzhu had been studying the opponent's tactics during this period of time. He discovered that the king of Cang Liu Empire was simply a natural-born war machine. Every step he made was exquisite. He was totally walking by the nose of the enemy.
Although he had yet to conquer any large cities, the war intelligence that was highlighted from the minute details was truly terrifying.
Piao Xianzhu did not leave in a hurry after receiving the order. Yuwen Cangji immediately realized that his Grand Marshal seemed to have something to say to him. He asked the other civil servants to retreat and left Piao Xianzhu alone.
"General Pu, what do you have to say to me?" Yuwen Cangji asked.
Piao Xianzhu knelt on one knee and said, "My king, forgive me for being bold. The main purpose of Cang Liu Empire this time wasn't our Great Dragon City, but the Da Xiu City. These few days, this lowly subject has been studying the enemy's strategy and found out that their attack on our Great Dragon City was just a false move. The real purpose is to deal with the Da Xiu City.
Currently, the Da Xiu City only had less than a hundred thousand soldiers guarding it, and the distance between the Da Xiu City and the Da Di City was very close. The speed of war was precious. With Lee Yang's cunning and wisdom, he would definitely not give up on getting close to the ___. He is fully prepared to focus all of his energy on our Great Dragon City, and then launch a sneak attack on the Da Xiu City."
Yuwen Cangji said," So what? Does the life and death of Da Xiu City have anything to do with us?"
Piao Xianzhu almost choked on his words. He held back the anger in his heart and said, "My king, Da Xiu City and us share the same fate. The enemy has sent fifty thousand soldiers to assist us. If we don't care about the life and death of Da Xiu City, we are destined to lose our ally, Da Yu City. At that time, Lee Yang will be able to defeat us in one fell swoop."
" General Pu, you are worrying too much. Our Great Dragon City has a general like you. Don't tell me you are afraid of Lee Yang? You only need to do your thing. I want to see Lee Yang's one hundred thousand soldiers all die in front of our Great Dragon City. I have my own plans for the rest of the matters. There's no need to worry." Yuwen Cangji said in a flat tone.
Piao Xianzhu sighed and said, "This lowly subject accepts the order. However, I have a presumptuous request. I hope the king will agree to it. "
"Speak." Yuwen Cangji was getting impatient.
"If this lowly subject is unfortunate enough to die in battle, I hope that the king can bypass the commanders who are following me. They are all people who have contributed to the Great Dragon City. Killing them will make all the soldiers of the Great Dragon City feel cold in their hearts." Piao Xianzhu said loudly.
"Bastard, you are already discouraged before the war even started. Piao Xianzhu, could it be that you have already lost your fighting spirit after ten years? Could it be that you are still dissatisfied with me?" Yuwen Cangji raged.
Piao Xianzhu immediately knelt down and pressed his forehead against the cold ground. "I dare not, please forgive me."
Yuwen Cangji took a deep breath and said, "Fine, fine. I will promise you. However, what I want is to win. The day you return victorious, I will open the city gate and welcome you with a formation of five hundred meters."
Piao Xianzhu left with gratitude. After leaving the palace, his face darkened instantly. He felt incomparably miserable and angry in his heart.
A king was no longer the same king as before. A cunning rabbit would be cooked by a dog. No matter whether he lived or died in this battle, he was destined to leave this world forever.
Great Dragon City didn't need a talented general.
...
Zhao Gao led fifty thousand elite soldiers to the Da Xiu City, and the fifty thousand soldiers departed in batches. Five thousand light cavalry, five thousand heavy cavalry, and twenty thousand heavy infantry. Ten thousand spearmen, five thousand bowmen, and five thousand siege soldiers. Zhao Gao led the cavalry, bypassing the edge of the great river and directly stabbing into the back of Da Xiu City.
The sieging soldiers set off in the southwest direction. Their target was the south gate of Da Xiu City.
The spearmen, archers, and heavy armored infantry were led by Zhao Gao's sister Zhao Yanxia. Although this girl was not old, she was still young. Lee Yang would not care about her gender. He gave the task of attacking to Zhao Yanxia.
The Zhao Family had now completely submitted to Lee Yang. The entire Da Di City was now under his control.
The flag of the Cang Liu Empire was bound to be planted throughout the entire desolate era.
The Da Xiu City had no idea that they would be attacked suddenly. They were still waiting for the news from the Great Dragon City.
At an extremely ordinary early stage, the sentry of Da Xiu City suddenly issued a shrill alarm.
The army of the Cang Liu Empire had already arrived at the city.
However, there were still 100,000 soldiers guarding the city. At first, they were somewhat panicked, but they quickly formed an effective defense. Zhao Yanxia's first wave of attack was repelled, leaving almost 2000 corpses on the scene.
The spearmen were not suitable for a surprise attack. They were always suppressed by Zhao Yanxia at the back. Because the city wall was too far away, the firing range of the archers was limited. They had to push forward at least 150 meters to make the arrows of the archers reach the city wall. One had to know that the walls of the big cities in the primeval era were terrifyingly high. Even in a city like Da Xiu City, the height of the city walls was more than 60 meters.
The bow skills of the men from the primeval era were very strong. However, if they were to shoot from the bottom to the top, they had to shoot out 60 meters and ensure that they could kill people at the same time. An ordinary person would not be able to do that.
Zhao Yanxia selected the most powerful group of people from the archer team and trained them all day long. And the heavy armored infantry used to push forward and forward. She was not in a hurry. It was acceptable even if they advanced a few zhang a day.
Because his older brother hadn't arrived yet.
Four days later, Zhao Gao's main force suddenly appeared. The cavalry charged down from the hillside. They directly broke through the defense line of the Da Xiu City, and the light cavalry moved around in the outside world. The heavy armored cavalry charged down the city gate and planted many explosives there.
This was the black gunpowder that Lee Yang developed, and its destructive power was quite shocking.
The cavalry left with a howl, and the rumbling sound of the explosion spread in all directions. Everyone in Da Xiu City was stunned.
What kind of attack was this? It was actually able to blast open a huge gap in the city gate.
It was simply unbelievable.
At the same time, the city assaulters on the other side of the road arrived. They brought the Stone-throwing Cart and the chariot, and took turns attacking the city gate of Da Xiu City.
The opportunity that Zhao Yanxia had been waiting for finally arrived. Everyone attacked.
Now that they wanted to completely disrupt the defense of the entire Da Xiu City, the city lord of Da Xiu City had long been scared out of his wits. He returned to his own chambers to pack up and prepare to escape.
The siege did not last for too long, and it only lasted for two to three days. The cavalry of Cang Liu Empire had already entered the Da Xiu City.
Zhao Gao and Zhao Yanxia also met.
The two siblings looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"Reward the three armies and set up camp on the spot. Do not disturb the people, those who disobey will be executed " Zhao Gao issued the order and rushed towards the palace with his sister and Personal Guard.
In the Imperial Palace, they found the mayor of Da Xiu City, who was hiding under the bed.
"Spare me! Spare me! I'm willing to submit to the Cang Liu Empire!" The Da Xiu City's City Lord no longer had the slightest bit of the air of a City Lord. He looked just like a beggar.
Zhao Gao helped him up, gently brushed the dust off his body, and said with a smile, "We still need you to announce this good news in front of everyone in the city, so you have to stand up straight for me."
