Chapter 259 Scene 34 Under the Ice and Snow Eleven
Just as Yu Li listened to Zi Yuan's suggestion and commanded the "Orphan Army" to retreat, the Red Flame Army was defeated by Lu Qiu Borong's army in the blink of an eye. The two could not believe what they saw, and for a moment they were about to retreat.
Completely forgotten.
For the grassland people who are good at horse fighting, losing their horses is like having their feet cut off. Facing the Guan Ning warriors who are attacking steadily like a monolith, they have lost their speed advantage and have no idea how to resist. They can only wait and wait.
slaughter.
But Jiang Yan did not want to surrender to fate. Seeing that his defeat was certain, he immediately ordered everyone to protect his companions and retreated towards the ruins of the ancient city of his ancestors in the north, intending to continue to deal with the opponent there.
At the moment, the soldiers holding the Golden King's flag were attacking vigorously. Yu Li and Zi Yuan only had a short delay before their traces were exposed. The two of them watched helplessly as the soldiers forming the Queyue Formation came straight towards them to cover them up, completely killing them.
The plan was disrupted. Yuli scolded his mother on the spot, but he had no choice but to order everyone to stay put.
Emperor Daxin also did not expect that those grassland people who were once brave and good at fighting would now be so vulnerable. However, as the murderous thoughts arose in her heart, the image of Suoyang Pass suddenly appeared in her mind, and she ordered the execution.
The scene of killing the Bai Jiang family. At this moment, she just wanted to clear all the obstacles between herself and the power of her ancestors. She actually issued three urgent orders in a row, ordering the army to kill everyone who appeared in front!
"Wei Liang Jun should not move forward any further! I don't want to start a war with you, general, but if you don't listen to dissuasion, I will definitely let you taste the power of the blue flame!"
Yu Li was alone, standing in front of the formation with a broad-backed saber, and shouted loudly at the murderous soldiers more than a hundred paces away. But how could a few shouts stop the army that was charging with all its strength to stop?
And this was exactly the trap he had set in his desperation. Behind the young general, there were eight hundred "orphan troops" hiding in the shadows, relying on the high and low ruins of the shore as cover. Waiting.
In their hands, they all held the loaded firebolts. The few hundred remaining skyfire thunderbolts were also distributed to the fifty dead soldiers who were leading the battle.
Seeing that there was only one general-looking man coming forward to fight, Guan Ning's soldiers didn't pay attention to the warnings he issued. He relied on the shield in his hand and the armor on his body, beat the three-way war drum and continued to charge. Seeing this situation, it seemed as if
The young general, who wanted to use his mantis arm as a chariot, suddenly raised his hand above his head, then swung it down heavily, using all his strength to order the ambush troops behind him to launch a volley of fire.
Next, what the soldier in silver armor saw were brilliant orange sparks rising in the darkness behind Yu Li, and the deafening loud noise accompanying the blooming of the flowers.
The sound was like thunder and the roar of wild animals. The Guan Ning soldiers who entered the shooting range had no time to figure out what had penetrated their heavy armor, and they were already knocked down by the hail of bullets.
And all this was just the beginning. The commander of the Weiliang Pioneer Battalion, who was in charge of the battle, had seen such weird weapons under Yujing City, but he did not order the army to postpone the attack. Instead, he planned to take advantage of the opportunity for the firebolt guns to be reloaded to let the enemy attack.
The soldiers who were confused and scattered regrouped into formation and rushed through the last section with all their strength, thinking that they would be able to advance straight in and turn the advantage of the opponent's firearms into a disadvantage.
She never thought that Ying Ren's answers would be shorter and shorter each time, and each sentence would drive her crazy:
"Judging from the Kuijiao leather armor that the general is wearing, it should be that way."
But soon, he saw a team of dozens of people guarding the opponent's formation. The soldiers among them were not the Guan Ning soldiers who had charged into the battle before, but men like himself, wearing Kuijiao leather armor.
Pengguo army.
"General Yu should understand what I am thinking. Rather than serving a woman, it would be far better to be the emperor yourself! Only you and I know what is going on today. I still have enough supplies in my hands to enable you and me to obtain the rights of our ancestors.
After that, we can return to Zhangzhou safely and rule the world together. And you should also be very clear in your heart that with your current strength, even if you can defeat Luqiu Borong, you will use up the remaining chips in your hand."
"Is there any way you can make them retreat immediately?"
Then, blue-purple flames burst out in an instant, just like the life-threatening light emitted from hell under the suddenly cracked ground.
Before seeing Ying Ren's face, Yu Li had already guessed who the person was, and couldn't help but hesitate in his heart whether he would see him or not. However, the other party did not give him a chance to retreat. Before he could reach him, he sent
A soldier rushed to the front of the formation and spread the word of Duke Peng:
"The leader of the Peng Kingdom has issued an order, and General Yuli has made great achievements in finding the way north. Now that the ancient city has appeared, I hope that the emperor and his ministers can work together to gain spiritual power and rule the world together!"
However, even so, the human body wrapped in armor was still unable to stop and continued to charge. The hard and brittle clothes and skin were torn off from the soldier's body like a layer of bark, revealing the bloody flesh underneath.
Muscles. The seriously injured were again swept by the sky fire and thunder, completely engulfed in the flames, suffocated, fell to the ground, and died.
Amidst the rumblings, Lu Qiu Borong, who was watching the battle from behind the military formation, was also shocked by what he saw. His shoulders trembled, but he immediately ordered the withdrawal of the troops and shouted angrily, "Bring me General Ying Ren!"
"I don't dare. I just beg Your Majesty to allow me to give up my merits."
What Duke Peng Guo said got straight to the point, and Yu Li couldn't help but recall what he saw in Peng Guo's eyes when he borrowed troops from him at the Chao Barrier Hall that day, the incomparable desire for the power of the ancestors. And that look in his eyes
, but it was all too familiar to the young general - he had seen such a look in Qi Shouyu's eyes countless times before. It was a look that could not be disguised or hidden, as greedy as a hungry wolf or a vulture.
And cunning light.
In just a short moment, nearly a thousand Guan Ning warriors were engulfed by the soaring flames ignited by the sky fire thunder. The high temperature first burned the fragile human eyes, mouth and nose, and then immediately baked the skin and clothes into a charred shell.
.
Duke Pengguo, who was over ninety years old but still full of black hair, hurried over and bowed his head to Emperor Daxin. Half of his face that he raised immediately looked like a melted candle, covered with scars:
Because, in fact, like Ying Ren and Qi Shouyu, he is never satisfied with power.
"It's good to know. Let me ask you, what did that team use, was it your Peng Kingdom's blue flame?"
"Yu Li can promise the king that from today on, all the eight hundred 'orphan troops' under me and I will be at your disposal! But I also hope that after the success, the king will not forget the promise he made today!
"
"Old minister can't."
After a heated exchange of words, Ying Ren, who was both emotional and rational, not only managed to get to Luqiu Borong's bottom line, but also took the opportunity to give him a way to save his face.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye."
"Your Majesty, Mr. Xuan, is it for the war ahead?"
Emperor Daxin looked up and down at this old friend of his father, whom he once called uncle. He knew that the only person he could place hope on now was him. He finally nodded helplessly and sighed with emotion:
However, from the dark corners around them, there was a soft "chichi" sound like a group of snakes stinging. Immediately afterwards, the soldiers saw dozens of objects with faint sparks being thrown into the air.
He jumped into the air, passed over his head, and rolled down at his feet.
The high temperature even burned the armor on the corpse to a red color. The once invulnerable and hard protective gear now became like syrup under the scorching sun, melting and changing its shape.
Emperor Daxin's anger was beyond words, and he finally couldn't help but grab the opponent's collar:
"So now Ying Gong's soldiers are colluding with Ye Kingdom's traitors and are disobedient and rebellious. Should I punish you severely? Punish Peng Kingdom severely!"
For a moment, a loud noise accompanied by blue-violet flames caused the entire ruins under the ice to rumble and resonate.
The female princess suddenly let go of her hand, causing the thin scale armor she wore to rattle. Duke Peng took half a step back unhurriedly, and knelt down in obeisance:
“That’s——Pengguo’s blue flame?!”
At the same time, as the smoke that spread everywhere after the explosion of fire and thunder in front of the formation gradually faded away, Guan Ning's soldiers quickly retreated five hundred steps away as if they were avoiding the god of plague.
This gave Yu Li great confidence. Now he turned around again with the broad-backed saber, standing in front of the formation and planning to continue provoking Luqiu Borong. In his calculations, the Heavenly Fire Thunder in his hand was at least still
It was able to withstand five or six rounds of attacks of the same scale as before. But now there are only more than 3,000 sergeants under the Jinzhu banner. It is easy to understand which one is easier to defend and which is easier to attack.
Such an oral instruction from Ying Ren suddenly made Yu Li feel a little at a loss. He was afraid that this was a trap set by Lu Qiu Borong, and he was even more worried about whether Ying Ren could still maintain the same status as before after he disappeared for so long.
Trust. However, when he saw the man with the same ferocious face as himself walking out of the car and walking to the front of the battle with a meaningful smile, he still decided to take the risk to see him.
Duke Pengguo still nodded calmly:
Even in the face of the emperor's wrath and the almost inevitable punishment, Duke Pengguo smiled lightly, seeming to ignore the hostile intimidation in front of him:
"If Your Majesty wants to bring the old minister to justice, there is no need to announce the old minister's arrival right now. He can just behead him in front of the tent."
Although he couldn't see the girl's face at the moment, the young general was sure that the other party must be shaking his head and waving his hands desperately, telling him not to believe Ying Ren easily. But this time, he wanted to make a decision on his own.
.
Luqiu Borong, who was wearing thin scale armor, sternly questioned the other party. However, facing the emperor's accusation, Ying Ren behaved quite calmly:
"You keep your promise! Only 10% of the Pengguo army who went on the expedition with me is left. Looking under the ice dome, General Yu is the only one who can be my right-hand man!"
Ying Ren laughed, but he laughed wantonly and wildly. However, Luqiu Borong behind him did not know what happened in front of the formation. He just saw Duke Peng from a distance and said a few words, so he ordered
The young general, who had previously risked his life with the soldiers, knelt down and saluted, feeling a little relieved but also full of uneasiness.
When the young general saw that the opponent had taken the bait, he suddenly turned around and dragged his saber backwards towards the darkness of the lake. When the general of the Weiliang Pioneer Battalion saw this, he couldn't help but burst into laughter. He believed that he had seen through the opponent's trick and did not dare to continue to confront him head-on.
He even personally joined the battle formation and attacked.
"Are you begging me to let you go?"
Perhaps because of this, the words "ruling the world together" mentioned twice by the other party seemed to have magic power in the blink of an eye, making Yuli's heart flutter. He turned his head and looked behind him, looking at Zhengtong Ba
Hundreds of "orphan troops" are hiding in the direction of Ziyuan among the ruins.
However, they didn't know that what was waiting for them was more than 800 half-year-old children. What they didn't know was that what was waiting for them was not just the firebolt gun. However, they had no chance.
"Okay, tell me, how do you plan to offset the merits?"
Lu Qiu Borong knew clearly the power of the blue flames, as well as the morale and strength of the soldiers under his command. He knew that if he did not take countermeasures immediately, his success here might fall short. So he had to hold back the anger in his heart and continued to ask.
.
Such an attitude made the seemingly weak empress' tone become increasingly fierce:
"So, the ones in front of me who are stubbornly resisting and trying to stop me from seeking the strength of my ancestors are the fleets that disobey orders that Ai Qing told me about before?"
"Passing my decree, I order Duke Peng to be the vanguard commander and lead his soldiers to attack the remaining armies of Ye and Di with all their strength, with soldiers on both sides to support them. The battle must end before sunset today!"
Before she finished speaking, the war drums in the formation began to beat again. Amidst the rumble of the drums, the corner flags were waving, and the soldiers raised their arms. And everyone's spearheads were now pointed at the man who had just fled not long ago.
Jiang Yan and Qi Ziyin were hiding among the shadowy ruins.
For Young Hehan and Ye Guogong at this time, blindly hiding will only allow themselves to be attacked one by one by the opponent, until the entire army is destroyed. And now all they can do is to sink the cauldron and sink the boat in this huge rock.
Fight your way through the jungle-like complex city of ancient ruins!
The two former friends turned their heads at the same time and looked at the many soldiers who were following them all the way. The warriors had already lined up neatly. In the tight military formation, Ning Yue and Mo Chen were still vaguely visible.
, the figures of Leng Jiayun and others.
The young men looked at each other again, smiled at each other, and then ordered loudly in unison:
"If you don't succeed, you will be successful! Soldiers, prepare to meet the enemy!"
