Chapter 442: Running all the way(1/3)
Qianrenxia Pass is a pass that makes everyone stand in awe and respect.
After March 15th, the yellow sand inside the pass will be filled with white banners fluttering in the wind.
That was the deep longing left for the soldiers guarding the pass.
Today, Major General Jia Jiangjun, who was guarding the pass, looked at the surging waves outside the city wall, and his heart was in his throat.
I haven't seen such a scene in many years.
"Light the beacon!"
The Major General Jia Jiang Army ordered that the beacon tower in Qianren Gorge ignited black wolf smoke in a moment!
Many years later, such wolf smoke once again ignited above the desert in the northwest.
This is a signal of foreign invasion!
"Nomads, here!"
Simple words were passed to the ears of the soldiers guarding the city, and everyone's heart was raised to their throats.
Looking at the Red Eagle Iron Cavalry that was like the black sea, Jia Jiangjun seemed to remember the scene that was vivid in his sight.
A blood-red eagle was outlined on the black armor. The non-commissioned officers at the front of the team waved their flags, and the heavy cavalry slowly drove towards the city walls, and the light cavalry guarded the siege cars and ladders, slowly approaching the pass.
In addition, there are nomads who are terrifying, who summon sand, frost, falcons and vultures.
The last time this kind of siege scene was more than ten years ago.
The generals of the western desert of the Yunduan Empire took five years to drive the nomadic army of the Red Eagle Federation out of the westbound desert, and they could no longer be seen in the westbound desert.
"The scouts who traveled west to the desert were all killed."
A side general reported that these days, they had already felt the nomads' desire to move.
When traveling westward, there were originally seven scouts who were guarding against the nomads' going south overnight, but in these few days, the scouts who went out patrol never came back after walking out of Qianren Gorge Pass.
I'm afraid, I've been captured alive by these people.
Jia Jiangjun looked at this terrifying nomadic army. They were stronger than they were more than ten years ago.
Their cavalry is stronger and their warlocks are more numerous.
Moreover, they have also made more siege cars and ladders, and it seems that they have been waiting for this day.
He clearly saw a strong man with yellow bearded came out of the enemy's cavalry. The strong man was naked and there was a very terrifying scar on his chest.
Jia Jiangjun was very familiar with this man. This was a tribal commander among the nomads, and his name was Chekov.
This damn yellow-bearded bastard has a very long surname, so Jia Jiangjun didn't want to deliberately remember this name.
He carried the big sword in his hand, and the adjutant beside him held a scout sent by Jia Jiangjun.
The scout, gritted his teeth tightly, was stripped naked and pressed to the ground.
Chekov provocatively extended his middle finger at Jia Jiangjun on the city wall, and then raised his sword and directly cut off the scout's head with a knife!
Blood flows into the wind and sand, and the head is stained with dust!
Then, the heavy cavalry behind him began to advance, escorting the ladder and siege cars gradually approaching Qianrenxia Pass.
On the valleys on both sides of Qianren Gorge, the warlocks of the Red Eagle Federation were already in place, and they used strong winds and ice and snow to kill the defensive magic array of Qianren Gorge!
"Stabilize the magic circle and wait for General Song to rush for help!"
"Open the mechanism and set up a crossbow!"
"Let these damn nomads see how powerful we are!"
After Jia Jiangjun said that, the soldiers who were ready to fight began to move.
The Mohist crossbow and the rune cannon studied by Tianshou Pavilion.
They all set up the city walls and smashed them hard towards the heavily armored cavalry.
But these guys learned to use formations, and rows of formations rose directly on the giant shields of heavy armored cavalry, blocking all the crossbows and shells they used.
The first wave of attacks did not bring any visible damage to these heavy cavalrymen.
"The formation master is in formation! Break the shield wall!"
Jia Jiang's army was commanding very calmly, and there were hundreds of skilled and powerful formation masters at Qianrenxia Pass.
These formation masters activated the sky thunder formation to protect the city, and immediately, the sky thunder roared and rushed towards the heavy cavalry.
These heavy cavalry were wearing very heavy armor, which gave them very strong defense.
However, it also weakens their resistance to lightning.
As the sky thunder descended, the front row of heavy cavalry who had been broken through the formation shield wall was immediately hit by strong lightning.
They were unable to stabilize their bodies and fell one after another under the attack of the sky thunder.
"Retreat and withdraw! Don't be too close to those thunders!"
Chekov was anxious. These heavy-armored soldiers were a powerful army they had spent a lot of resources to build. If the regiment was destroyed by the formation masters at this pass, it would be more than worth the loss.
"Cross crossbow! Cannon! Warlock attacking the enemy!"
The sorcerers who were using storms and wild sand to erode the guardian array of Qianren Gorge Pass in Qianren Gorge were immediately panicked.
Thousands of crossbows and heavy artillery bombarded directly at these warlocks, and the warlock without heavy armor defense was quickly destroyed by the artillery.
The crossbows pierced through their bodies, and the poisoned crossbow arrows also reaped their lives.
"Protect the Warlock!"
The light cavalry rushed up the valley and brought the warlocks back directly. There were not many warlocks killed or injured in this wave, and there were less than two hundred people.
These warlocks are just cannon fodder in the awakening realm. Those who have magical talents among the nomads were forcibly fed the amplification potion, and then they were pulled to the battlefield to be used as magicians.
Although these people have certain skills in art cultivation, they are simply vulnerable.
Chekov retreated some of the troops, kept a relatively safe distance from the pass, and ordered camping.
This is the right
Zhi, Jia Jiangjun is really too familiar with him.
"Send the order, four rows will fall down and strictly control it."
After Jia Jiangjun issued instructions, he frowned and looked out of the pass.
“How many resources have we used?”
"About one tenth."
The general said:
"Save crossbow arrows and artillery, the formation master must carry the beam."
"These damn nomads are smart."
Jia Jiangjun murmured, these guys at the time would not consume their resources.
At the beginning, these guys directly used their lives to pile up.
After breaking through the pass, he ran straight to Liangzhou Prefecture.
Now, their strategy has obviously changed dramatically.
"Could these guys have some tricks?"
Jia Jiangjun frowned and thought for a while, and said:
"Never let go of your guard!"
"If the pass is lost, then these heavy cavalry will be rampant in the Western Desert!"
The wolf smoke was still floating, and after a brief tentative attack, the nomadic army no longer moved.
Only a few headless corpses were left, and were pecked by vultures from the desert.
...
On the pier of Jiangzhou Prefecture, Shen Qing frowned and looked towards the sea.
The people from Luxian Palace arrived in a fast boat and directly conveyed a message.
The enemy is coming, be prepared.
However, Shen Qing had been waiting here for a long time, and there was no movement at all on the sea.
"Did they withdraw their troops?"
She looked at everything on the sea in confusion, as if she was calm and did not feel like someone was invading.
"Impossible. They attacked Sanshen Island with all their might. How could they withdraw their troops now?"
Yuan Qiao felt a little strange. How could these invaders suddenly calm down when they fought the Three God Island?
"It shouldn't be like this. Could it be that they occupied the Three God Island as their stronghold, and then gradually marched towards Jiangzhou Prefecture?"
Wen Tingting, who was standing beside him, analyzed, and Shen Qing frowned.
To be continued...
