Chapter 1069 The frozen canyon is filled with smoke
"what's going on?"
Hearing the sound, Antonio's old face was full of solemnity, and he immediately tightened the reins in his hands.
"Teacher, don't panic."
Brandon looked calm and said calmly: "It must be just the dying struggle of the guest from another world."
"But doesn't His Highness find it strange? The opponent only has a mobile city, so why are our front and rear armies being attacked at the same time?"
Antonio first ordered the other two imperial commanders to be on alert and figure out the current situation as soon as possible, and then solemnly said to Brandon: "There must be a fraud in this, and we should have taken precautions early."
"Teacher, you are overly worried. This prince has determined that one of the two harassing enemies must be false and the other real. Their purpose is just to distract our combat power and slow down our pace. They are like flies in the ears."
Brandon narrowed his eyes slightly, looking like he was strategizing, and said calmly: "And the Chinese army where we are located is the safest place, we just need to stay where we are."
"When we figure out where the opponent's main force is, we will then go all out to support them, and the opponent will naturally collapse without fighting."
After listening to Brandon's analysis, Antonio pondered for a moment, and then suggested: "I agree with your highness, but our Chinese army is located in the center of the canyon, and there is a risk of something happening. In my opinion, it is better to follow the front army and evacuate first."
The canyon is the top.”
"Teacher, you are too cautious. Although this is the center of the canyon, it is also the biggest advantage of our Chinese army. We can support the front or rear army as quickly as possible."
Brandon waved his hand without hesitation and said with a smile: "If we move closer to the forward army and the opponent's main attack target is the rear army, wouldn't that mean we lose the best opportunity for support?"
"Then how about dividing the troops into two groups, with the veteran leading one group closer to the front army, and Your Highness and the other two commanders leading one group closer to the rear army? In short, we must evacuate this canyon as soon as possible."
Antonio looked at the steep cliffs around him, and the old voice became more urgent: "Your Highness, please make a decision quickly. Soldiers must be quick and must not be sloppy."
"Teacher, I realize why you are becoming more confused as you get older?"
Brandon remained unmoved and insisted on his opinion: "You have just said that the highlands on both sides of the canyon are filled with soldiers of our Pars Empire, and the mobile city cannot reach the highlands. This
It means that there is absolutely no possibility of a sneak attack by the other party, so do people from other worlds scare you so much?"
"Your Highness, soldiers are treacherous. The most difficult thing in the world to guess is the opponent's commander's intentions. Therefore, we can only be cautious and avoid all adverse factors so that we can remain invincible."
Listening to the increasingly fierce shouts of killing and magic explosions, Antonio blew his beard into the air and said earnestly: "Your Highness must not underestimate the enemy. The alien is not an ordinary person. I saw it when I was waiting near Kelburg.
It’s passed.”
"This prince does not underestimate the enemy. I just look down on him."
Brandon smiled disdainfully, waved his hand again and said: "Don't worry, don't forget that this prince defeated seven experienced imperial commanders in a weapons exercise not long ago, and it was recorded in the textbooks.
"
"Furthermore, if the other side dares to attack our central army, the front and rear armies will rush to support as soon as possible. No matter how stupid the alien is, he will not make such a death-defying move."
Speaking of this with arrogance and contempt, Brandon added: "So, this is undoubtedly the safest place, and there is absolutely no possibility of being attacked."
"We also agree with His Highness the Prince's statement. In time, His Highness the Prince will definitely become the military god of our Pars Empire."
After Brandon finished speaking, the generals and staff officers who were following him all echoed his words, praising His Highness the Prince for his wisdom and prowess, and his ability to predict events like a god.
Hearing the flattery from his subordinates, Brandon looked proud and started laughing.
Seeing this, Antonio had no choice but to shake his head helplessly and began to gather the army in an attempt to form a defensive formation.
But even so, Brandon still stopped it on the grounds that he always needed to support the front army or the rear army, and insisted on placing many quick reaction troops at both ends of the front, ready to provide support at any time.
Not long after, the two imperial commanders rushed over from the front and back directions and began to report the latest battle situation.
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Excellency the Chief Magister, the former army encountered a fierce magical attack from an unknown opponent. With an unknown number of opponents, Chief Commander Barnett chose to defend and counterattack, and quickly moved towards the opponent's line!"
"Your Highness the Prince, Your Excellency the Chief Magister, the rear army has also encountered a fierce magical attack from an unknown opponent. The number of opponents is unknown. For the sake of safety, Your Highness Cecilia also chose to steadily advance and encircle the opponent, preparing to completely defeat the opponent.
Swallow it!”
After hearing the reports from the two commanders, Brandon looked calm and said calmly: "It seems that they can handle it on their own without the need for my prince to take action."
"Your Highness, it seems that the other party is not a virtual one and a real one, but has almost the same combat power. Could it be that they are both real forces?"
Antonio pondered for a moment, then said with confusion on his face: "But what is the purpose of the other party doing this?"
"Teacher, didn't I just say that? The other party is just trying to slow down our progress, but they don't expect the soldiers of the Pars Empire to be brave and good at fighting. Now it is self-defeating and it is difficult to escape the fate of the entire army being annihilated.
."
Brandon shrugged his shoulders, still looking calm and calm.
"No, if it's just to slow down our progress, the other side can just use a small force to continuously harass us. With the methods of the aliens, they will never act so recklessly."
Antonio gently stroked his gray beard and began to analyze: "Unless these two groups of enemy troops are drunkards who are not interested in drinking, it is not to slow down the entire army, but has a deeper reason!"
"Oh? Then teacher, please tell me, what is the other party's real purpose?"
Brandon raised his eyelids, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
But this curiosity quickly turned into a touch of disdain, and he added: "In my opinion, the other party is just a cricket shaking a tree. In front of such a majestic and powerful warrior of the empire, what can the outsider do?
Teacher, don’t let other people’s ambitions destroy your own prestige.”
"If the other side's two forces are not real but illusory, they are just to contain our front and rear armies..."
Antonio pondered to this point, and suddenly his old eyes widened and he said: "No! The other party's real target is indeed the Chinese army where we are!"
Just as the old magician's surprised voice fell, two huge blue majestic cities emerged out of thin air from the front and back of his camp.
Needless to say, it is Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City commanded by Lei Xiao.
We saw two huge cities that suddenly appeared on our side, blocking both ends of the narrow ice valley, and completely stuck the opponent's Chinese army on standby in the middle, unable to move.
Since all of this happened in the midst of lightning fire, by the time the 300,000 soldiers of the opponent's central army noticed something strange, they were already standing in the corner of the giant city, looking extremely small.
Looking at the huge strange city that suddenly appeared before and after them, uncontrollable panic spread rapidly among the 39 Chinese legions of the Pars Empire.
"What's going on? Why are we stuck in the middle?!"
Seeing this, even though Brandon was dismissive, he immediately reacted. This is the rhythm of being flanked by two mobile cities!
Looking at the huge city close at hand and the insurmountable cliffs around it, Brandon's eyes were immediately filled with uncontrollable fear.
I saw that he was no longer as calm as before. There was only panic and confusion on his rather handsome face, and he started yelling.
"Hurry up and display the absolute defensive barrier to protect this prince! Once something happens to this prince, you will all be buried with him!"
Just when Brandon was already panicking.
Knowing that they were helpless, Antonio and the other two imperial commanders were shocked and quickly began to deploy defensive formations.
However, Lei Xiao naturally would not give the other party time to react.
With a wave of Lei Xiao's hand standing on top of Crystal Blue City, Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City simultaneously fired their magic cannons.
The deafening sound of artillery fire then resounded throughout the sky, stirring up balls of rising flames one after another in the panicked enemy camp below the city.
In the blink of an eye, the city was transformed into a sea of scorching fire.
The constantly flashing magical power and leaping flames reflected the distorted faces of the soldiers of the Pars Empire.
Under the powerful bombardment of the magic cannon, many Pars Empire soldiers did not even have time to scream in agony before they were torn apart and destroyed in the sudden and shocking flames of war.
Immediately afterwards, arrows rained down from the sky, sending the other party a second wave of invitations from the God of Death.
Among them, especially the quick reaction troops such as cavalry and light infantry, which were arranged by Brandon on the front and rear sides and closest to the city wall, suffered extremely heavy losses, and there was no way to avoid them.
The opponent's occasional counterattacks fired at the city wall were easily and completely blocked by the city's absolute defensive barrier, unable to cause any effective damage at all.
As for the enemy defenders deployed on the cliffs on both sides, most of them were close-combat troops that focused on defense. They could only stare at them with more than enough intentions but not enough power, and there was no way they could do anything about it.
On the city wall where artillery fire and arrows were fired, Lei Xiao looked at the enemy soldiers sinking in the flames and blood with an expressionless face, without a trace of emotion in his heart.
If these ferocious invading enemies are not beaten severely, it will be our soldiers and people who will be surrounded by flames and scarlet.
Just as Antonio suddenly realized in the end, the two forces Lei Xiao deployed at the beginning were indeed to contain the opponent's front and rear armies.
As long as the opponent's front army and rear army keep a certain distance from the target's central army.
Then we can naturally take advantage of the special terrain of the Frozen Canyon and use Crystal Blue City and Ice Stone City to block the lone Chinese army.
The most critical thing is that the two mobile cities on our side that occupy the entrance and exit of the frozen canyon are like completely sealing both ends of a straight pipe.
Not only did it block the way out for the opponent's central army, it also blocked the opponent's front and rear troops from another direction, preventing them from entering the canyon for reinforcements.
This is what Lei Xiao mentioned at the end of the command hall, the core of using terrain to turn the opponent's Chinese army's advantage into a disadvantage.
As for the true identity of the two deployed forces to contain our side, they are battle puppet troops of 5,000 each equipped with a large number of long-range attack magic scrolls.
Lei Xiao had just given the order to retreat, and asked the two combat puppet troops that had completed the containment mission to teleport back to the Light-Chasing Castle using the four architectural special effects "Return of the Ice God Attendant" of the Light-Chasing Castle. They would not be attacked at all.
Encirclement and annihilation of opponents.
Of course, a certain number of combat dolls must have been lost, but with the reorganization function of the Light Chaser Castle, the combat doll army was soon able to return to its peak state.
"As expected of the Holy Lion Prince, Brandon will be so scared that he wets his pants now."
Next to Lei Xiao, Caroline crossed her arms, looking down at the brilliant scene of artillery fire in the city, and raised her eyebrows slightly.
In addition to 1,000 magic cannons, this Crystal Blue City also has 200,000 Fortress garrison troops stationed there. In addition, the returning battle puppet army has greatly increased its strength in the city, which is enough to give opponents a good taste of artillery fire and arrows.
The power of.
As for the Ice Stone City opposite, it is garrisoned by the Zhuyue clan with more than 200,000 people, 1,000 magic cannons and Bing Lao. In terms of combat power alone, it is not even inferior to Crystal Blue City.
As soon as Caroline said this, our other generals on the city wall, who were already excited, all looked at Lei Xiao with admiration.
So far, our side has caused heavy damage to the enemy's 30 legions without any losses!
"After all, I have transferred a lot of magic light crystals from other fortresses, otherwise there would never be such sufficient firepower."
Lei Xiao smiled faintly and continued to pay attention to the situation below the city.
At this time, several main legions in the core area of the opponent's central army had worked together to set up absolute defensive barriers, which restored the chaotic formation a lot.
However, the other Pars legions on the periphery were still like headless flies, unable to prevent effective defense and counterattack at all.
It's no wonder, after all, this is a real two-sided attack. I'm afraid these soldiers never thought that one day they would be ravaged by two unattainable cities.
"Lord Qi, the opponent's rear army reacted extremely quickly. They have already set up a formation and stormed the crystal blue city from the other side."
Xion flashed in front of Lei Xiao and bowed to report.
Almost at the same time, Ariel, who was in Ice Stone City, also sent the same message.
The opponent's front army had also completely turned around and launched a fierce attack on the other side of Ice Stone City.
"It came faster than I expected."
Lei Xiao froze his eyebrows and nodded thoughtfully.
In order to cause maximum damage in the shortest time, Lei Xiao placed all the main forces of the two cities on the side of the opponent's central army.
As for the other side, with only 20% of its strength, it is obviously difficult to compete head-on with the opponent's front and rear armies.
"Then, let's fight as hard as possible before the energy of the absolute defense barrier is exhausted."
Lei Xiao's eyes were piercing and he waved his hand.
