The phantom rode a huge golden six-legged beast, leading a group of giant warriors, and slowly approached the north of the dragon gate.
She stopped advancing fifty feet outside the city wall. The royal flag held high by the giant warrior behind her was fluttering in the wind. The golden flag was particularly dazzling on the battlefield filled with blood and corpses.
Phantom said loudly: "I am Phantom, the commander-in-chief of the seven legions of the heavens. I am the general guarding the city. Please tell me my name!"
The tall female general said: "The third infantry regiment of the Red Feather Army of the Heavenly Lady Kingdom, Duguchou."
Phantom said: "General Dugu, as a soldier, I admire the fighting spirit of the Red Feather Army.
As a woman, I admire the girls of the Red Feather Army for their courage to fight to the death.
Your presence has broken the eternal pattern that the battlefield belongs only to men."
Duguchou said slowly: "Soldiers are men and women."
Phantom nodded and said: "You have won my respect, and I have to say that you fought beautifully in this battle.
No matter what the outcome of the Battle of Longmen is, no matter how long you can persist, it is destined to be etched in the annals of history, just like the Wuming Pass, and to be admired by future generations."
Duguchou said: "I am a soldier. The duty of a soldier is to protect our country and the common people. There is nothing much to say. General Phantom, in front of the two armies, if you have anything to say, just say it."
Phantom said: "General Dugu is really quick to talk. You and I both know that Longmen is a place of death. Even if you have highly lethal gunpowder in your hands, you can't stop the pace of my heavenly army.
I see that you are a talented person, so why not surrender? I can treat every soldier of the Red Feather Army well.
I only give you this chance, if you refuse, I will order the massacre of the city."
Duguchou looked up to the sky and laughed.
Phantom said: "Why are you laughing?"
Duguchou stopped laughing and said: "From the moment we entered the human world from our ancestral land, we never thought about surviving.
If you want Longmen, you can, but the premise is that you have to kill all the red feather troops in the city.
Soldiers! We will fight against the national calamity together, and we will not shed any blood! We will not fight a truce!"
"Until the blood dries out! We will never fight a truce!"
"Until the blood dries out! We will never fight a truce!"
…
Countless Red Feather Army soldiers shouted and roared loudly.
This is the most powerful answer to the phantom.
Phantom sighed and rode back on the six-legged beast.
At the same time, he said to a giant warrior next to him: "Continue to attack after dark. Before dawn tomorrow, we will take down the dragon gate. No enemy in the city will be left behind.
I want to use the blood of the Red Feather Army to pay homage to the fallen warriors.
I will use the heads of the Red Feather Army to build a Jingguan outside Longmen City!"
"promise!"
The war in Longmen has ceased for the time being.
The battle situation here was immediately reported to Yumen Pass, nearly a hundred miles away.
In the war room, Zhao Zian and the generals listened to the battle reports from the front line.
Hundreds of thousands of red-feathered troops actually defended Longmen, a city wall only six feet high.
This was unexpected by everyone.
Zhao Zian asked: "What are the casualties among the Red Feather Army officers in Longmen City?"
The messenger said: "The specific figures cannot be confirmed yet. However, after several hours of bloody battle, the Red Feather Army's casualties should be very high."
Zhao Zian looked at Nangong Yan.
Nangong Yan has received a secret message from the Red Feather Army.
She said: "More than 48,000 people were killed and more than 25,000 were injured."
Zhao Zian asked: "How many enemies have been killed?"
Nangong Yan said: "From the dawn of last night until the day before the stick of incense, the two sides had a truce. In this battle, our Red Feather Army killed more than 10,000 skeleton soldiers, more than 2,000 giant warriors, and more than 3,000 mad warriors.
"
After hearing this number, all the generals present took a breath.
The Red Feather Army killed less than 50,000 people, but actually killed more than 15,000 enemies. The battle loss ratio was four to one. This was a great victory!
Zhao Zian did not have a happy expression. He turned to stare at some small flags on the sand table and said slowly: "How long can the soldiers in the city guard the city?"
Nangong Yan said: "If the enemy continues to attack without interruption, they can last for one day at most."
Zhao Zi'an silently deduced the future battle situation in his heart.
Nangong Yan said: "Even if Longmen is lost, we still have the Red Feather Army stationed in Longbei Mountain.
The terrain of Longbei Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Even if the enemy's army of destruction arrives, it is impossible to easily capture Longbei Mountain.
It's just that now our cavalry has been defeated. Two groups of cavalry fled south from the two wings of Longmen. The cavalry that fled on the east road is now less than thirty miles away from Tianying Pass, and the enemy's Storm Legion is chasing after them.
.
The battle at Dragon Gate is not the most important thing right now, but how to stop the storm army approaching Tianying Pass is the most important thing."
Many generals nodded slightly.
There are still many people outside Tianying Pass waiting to enter the pass. There are more than one million main Red Feather Army troops stationed in the north, and there are millions of soldiers from Southern Xinjiang in the south.
If this Storm Legion cannot be blocked, the Red Feather Army and the Southern Xinjiang Army will all be exposed to the Storm Legion's iron cavalry.
It would even threaten Liu Heifu's heavy armored corps.
Although these generals all feel that the top priority now is to block the Storm Legion heading south, but how to block it?
Liu Heifu's heavy armored regiment had already moved southward yesterday. It would take at least a day and a half to reach Tianying Pass at the pace of the heavy armored cavalry. It was too late.
The generals began to discuss fiercely, but for a while there was no good countermeasure.
Nangong Yan spoke again and said: "The main force of the Beiting Cavalry Regiment is still there, but they retreated a little hastily and were bitten by the Storm Legion.
Moreover, we still have more than one million prairie wolf riders on this battlefield.
Since the heavily armored legion cannot move north in a short period of time, the only solution for now is to stop the millions of light cavalry and the millions of prairie wolf cavalry again.
Sixty miles south of Longbei Mountain, there is a large wilderness. The soil here is solid and desertification is not serious. Our war horses can exert their maximum combat power.
As long as we gather the fleeing cavalry from the east and west routes here, we may be able to stop the enemy."
Zhao Zian said: "I also thought about blocking the Storm Legion here, but now the cavalry has been scattered. It seems to be divided into two groups of cavalry, the east and the west. In fact, there are hundreds of cavalry groups. Behind each group of cavalry, there is a Storm Legion dead.
Deadly pursuit.
I am a cavalryman, and I know very well that it is simply impossible to reunite these hundreds of cavalrymen who have been in chaos and have lost their fighting spirit within a few hours.
Moreover, the Storm Legion is biting hard now, and it is difficult for the war horses to turn their heads. Once they turn their heads, their speed will stop, and the cavalry will lose their combat effectiveness."
Nangong Yan said word by word: "Then let the infantry go out to fight, temporarily block the storm army, turn the horses of the cavalry, and regroup to buy time."
Nangong Yan's words were really shocking. These words immediately silenced the chaotic war room. A general said: "Use infantry to fight the Storm Legion? Are you crazy?"
