While the top leaders of the Tiandou Empire were still debating whether to send troops, the Star Luo Empire and the Wuhun Empire started another head-on confrontation in front of Shuiyun Pass.
The nearly hundred-mile-long camp of the Star Luo Empire stood fifty miles outside Shuiyun Pass like an ancient behemoth. Early in the morning, accompanied by the thunderous sound of war drums, the army gathered.
One after another, phalanxes appeared outside the camp. Each huge phalanx was composed of ten thousand people. Along with a series of general orders issued from the Central Army, the 100,000 Star Luo Empire army slowly moved forward. That was a total of ten heavy phalanxes.
The mounted cavalry regiment is also the entire heavy cavalry brought by the Star Luo Empire this time. This is a true steel army. They are not advancing fast, but the overwhelming pressure makes the earth tremble.
Shuiyun closed, and Hu Liena ordered the city gate to be opened, "It's time to show them the strength of our Spirit Empire."
Four huge suspension bridges set up a fifty-meter-wide moat amidst the rattling of nooses, and a total of 10,000 light cavalry quickly poured out of Shuiyun Pass.
These light cavalry are not wearing metal armor, but leather armor. This leather armor is not the kind of light armor that only protects important parts of the body, but rhinoceros leather armor that protects the whole body, and its value is even higher than that of metal armor.
, not only the defense is strong, but also very light, which will not affect the movement at all. On their backs, each of them carries a large crossbow machine that is two feet long and one foot wide. These crossbow machines look like enlarged versions of
Zhuge Divine Crossbow.
Originally, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was required to be made of iron essence, but in order to mass-produce and quickly enter the war, the president of the Blacksmith Association, Lou Gao, reduced the material requirements for the crossbow machine at the expense of increased volume and weight.
The material of the machine was changed to fine steel.
Even Bibi Dong, the current empress of the Wuhun Empire, has to admit how wise Si Chen's decision to bring the Blacksmith Association into the Wuhun Palace camp was. At least since the founding of the Wuhun Empire, she has never worried about insufficient weapons.
In addition to this large crossbow, each Wuhun Empire light cavalry is also equipped with a four-foot-long stainless steel sword. The leather armor on the body carries at least one hundred and twenty long swords in special leather pouches various parts of the body.
A crossbow arrow of about six inches. Although these crossbow arrows are not all made of iron essence, the arrows are all made of iron essence. According to the calculation results provided by Lou Gao, the power of this large Zhuge Shen Crossbow should not be weakened much.
, it couldn’t be more suitable to be equipped in the army.
Moreover, the Wuhun Empire did not hesitate to spend a lot of money. Each light cavalry is equipped with a tall black horse. These black horses are much taller than ordinary horses, with a length of more than four meters. The shoulder height is also about 1.8 meters, which is extremely majestic. More
The most strange thing is that these horses have no hair on their bodies, only a layer of fine scales, and a faint bulge on their heads.
"I don't believe those heavy cavalry can stop our light cavalry! How can ordinary horses compare to the horned scale horses specially trained by our Spirit Empire?" On the city wall, Yan looked proud, but Xie Yue and Hu Liena did not do anything.
Any comment, obviously they think so too.
Horned scale horses have nothing to do with ordinary horses. They are a type of soul beast. They are not good at attacking, but their defense is quite good. They have the innate soul skills of black scale body protection and sky horn shield. This kind of
Soul beasts usually gather in groups. Because their fighting power is not strong, they rarely appear in the soul beast forest. Most of them live on the grasslands.
Their lack of combat power is compensated in other aspects. Horned scale horses have excellent endurance, more than three times that of ordinary horses. They are also very fast. When running, they can also release the horn shield to protect themselves to reduce resistance.
Because this kind of spirit beast can be domesticated by humans, they have naturally become the favorites of nobles from all over the world. There are not many spirit beasts that eat grass. This horned scale horse has excellent patience and does not require too much trouble to feed.
It is also one of the reasons why it is loved by the nobles. However, the price of horned scale horses is not low. The price of a horned scale horse is as high as 5,000 to 10,000 gold soul coins. This is still a ten-year level. If it is a hundred-year level,
The price of horned scale horses will increase ten times, and the thousand-year-level ones are even more incredible. They have a price but no market. As for ten thousand years or more... among the horned scale horses, they are almost unheard of.
Yes, they have not evolved to that level of bloodline. Although they have a trace of the legendary super soul beast unicorn gene, it is only a small trace. As for the legendary sacred dragon, it is the same as the sacred dragon.
The super-existent unicorn is more like a legend.
Therefore, the value of the equipment of the Wuhun Empire's light cavalry is definitely higher than that of all arms. This is without counting the horned scale horses. This shows how much effort the Wuhun Empire has spent on this special army.
The speed of the horned scale horses is indeed very fast. In a short time, this group of horned scale horse cavalry appeared in front of the Star Luo Empire's heavy cavalry regiment.
Seeing the 10,000 light cavalry rushing toward us in an orderly manner, Davis, who was holding the formation behind the 100,000 heavy cavalry regiment, couldn't help but frowned, "Do these guys from the Wuhun Empire want to commit suicide?" He was familiar with the art of war.
Naturally, we know what the result will be if the light cavalry attacks the heavy cavalry and heavy infantry formations, especially when the numbers of the two sides are so different, it is no different from committing suicide. Even if these light cavalry want to attack with bows and arrows, they face
, but the heavily armed heavy cavalry, heavy infantry, and bows and arrows have almost no effect, and there is no need for their own White Tiger Legion to take action.
Buzz——
Dai Mubai, who was in the army, heard this voice and almost fell off his horse. The scene of Ma Hongjun being shot into a sieve came back to his mind.
Along with the deafening sonorous sound, a large buzzing sound sounded at the same time. The light cavalry of the Wuhun Empire activated the killing arrows of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow at the same time. The black crossbow arrows formed a dense shadow in the air.
In order to make the charge more effective, the heavy cavalry regiments of the Star Luo Empire charged in a wide formation. Precisely because of this, they withstood more attacks from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow from the front.
Even though it was dozens of miles away from the main battlefield, the sound of tens of thousands of Zhuge Divine Crossbows erupting was still so shocking. At the same time, when the black clouds swept into the Star Luo Empire's heavy cavalry regiment, a large amount of blood mist rose into the air.
Hu Liena and others, who were locked up by Shuiyun, could all see the scene, accompanied by the heart-rending screams.
With just one salvo, the number of cavalry in the entire heavy cavalry regiment was reduced by nearly one-sixth.
Although the Horned Scale Horse is not good at attacking, it is another matter compared to ordinary horses. The Wuhun Empire's cavalry was like a sharp knife that instantly penetrated into the Star Luo Empire's heavy cavalry regiment.
The force of the collision was enough to knock those heavy cavalry off their backs, not to mention the large Zhuge Godly Crossbows that could kill them in the face. The Star Luo Empire's ten to one strength advantage was instantly wiped out.
Davis's face was livid, and his eyes were full of unbelievable emotions. Zhu Zhuyun beside him had turned pale with fright. It was obvious that she had recalled some bad memories like Dai Mubai.
"Mubai, you and the soul masters of the White Tiger Legion will attack together!" Davis ordered to Dai Mubai who was not far away.
Dai Mubai didn't want to go at all. He knew the power of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow better than anyone. Although the light cavalry sent by the Wuhun Empire were not soul masters, the arrows fired by the Zhuge Divine Crossbow were enough to penetrate the soul sect-level defensive soul skills.
Didn't Weiss clearly ask him to die?
But Dai Mubai also understood that if he refused directly, his prestige would be completely destroyed, and his image in the eyes of the soldiers would change from a heroic prince to a timid coward, which would be even worse than death.
Just as he was racking his brains to come up with some excuses to politely refuse Davis' order, a cold and familiar voice sounded in his ears.
"If you don't want to go, don't go. But...this time, you can't escape anymore."
Dai Mubai's eyes widened in horror. He knew that voice all too well. He knew that this was a moment of life and death, but he still couldn't figure out how Zhu Zhuqing sneaked into the army quietly.
?
Dark red ripples appeared around Dai Mubai's body, the air began to solidify, and everything around him seemed to become crystal clear, as gorgeous as crystal.
"Destroy."
The cold voice echoed in Dai Mubai's ears, and he saw his brother not far away looking at him with a horrified expression. The next moment, a dazzling red light flashed, and the surrounding air had completely stopped and turned into a complete
The crystal, everything was frozen at this moment. Dai Mubai maintained a struggling posture and was trapped in the crystal formed by the solidification of air. His body was covered by the transparent light red crystal, and he was trapped in the crystal from the beginning to the end.
Zhu Zhuqing was never seen in the end, and he couldn't even pass on the news that Zhu Zhuqing had sneaked into the army.
There was a crisp, music-like shattering sound, and the solidified light red crystal had turned into powder under the influence of a special force and floated in the air, leaving not even a body behind.
This is one of the two soul skills given to Zhu Zhuqing by the 100,000-year-old soul ring produced by the Evil Killer Whale King. It is the group-limited special skill, Netherworld Mirror Destruction, but this time she used it accurately on Dai Mubai alone.
, without affecting the soldiers beside him at all.
Even when facing Xiao Bai, Zhu Zhuqing has not used this skill completely. At most, he only used the mirror to restrict Xiao Bai's movements in the sea water. The first skill of this eighth soul skill can make air, water, etc.
All matter temporarily turns into mirror-like crystals. If the crystal is broken, all objects within the range will be shattered and perished. Unless the opponent is so strong that his body can withstand the terrifying tearing and shattering power of this skill, he will definitely die.
An extremely cruel skill that fully inherits the fighting style of the Evil Orca King.
Dai Mubai's identity was extraordinary. One of the two princes died silently. There is no doubt that this greatly shook the military morale of the Star Luo Empire. Davis was even more frightened out of his mind. Dai Mubai died.
It's unclear, and he didn't find the murderer from beginning to end, so will it be his turn next?
Zhu Zhuqing, who had achieved enlightenment by killing his fiancé, quietly left after he succeeded, leaving only a group of generals and soldiers who were in extreme panic.
Buzz——
At this time, the second launch of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was completed, and a large cloud of blood mist rose across the sky again. This time, the number of heavy cavalry who died under the spray of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow was even greater than in the first round.
"Retreat!" Davis's eyes were splitting. Dai Mubai's death was unclear, and the heavy cavalry regiment was almost wiped out. No matter how unwilling he was, he could only give the order to retreat.
As the saying goes, a defeat is like a mountain. The two volleys of Zhuge's divine crossbows have completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Xingluo Empire's troops. Coupled with Dai Mubai's death, Davis gave the retreat order, and it was really a race to see who could run away.
Hurry.
There is no doubt that the soul masters with higher soul power will run faster when they retreat. The dense crowd cannot stop the pace of these high-level soul masters. Either they can jump over their own soldiers and smash them away with force.
Those high-level soul masters quickly rushed to the forefront of their own retreat. In this way, those low-level soul masters and soldiers without soul power were naturally exposed to the light cavalry of the Spirit Empire.
When Davis saw the Zhuge Divine Crossbow erupting for the third time, and the low-level soul masters and soldiers of the Star Luo Empire fell in large numbers, he couldn't help but close his eyes in pain. Only then did he realize that he had issued his order
It's too hasty. Although the enemy is strong, the White Tiger Legion is an army composed of all soul masters after all. If high-level soul masters can be allowed to stand in front and retreat slowly, even if there will be losses, they will never be as bad as they are now.
big.
At this time, the battlefield was already in chaos. The Wuhun Empire's army went straight towards the Star Luo Empire's camp. After three rounds of volleys from the Zhuge Divine Crossbow, more than half of the Star Luo Empire's heavy cavalry regiment was lost. In addition, the Wuhun Empire's
The number of casualties in the pursuit of the ten thousand light cavalry continued to increase.
And the Wuhun Empire still has not sent out their most powerful soul master army.
Davis could no longer care about anything else at this time, and the generals of the Star Luo Empire were still rushing to his side on horseback. If they were not running for their lives, those generals would have wanted to kneel in front of him and kowtow to him.
"Your Highness, please quickly send the soul master army to rescue us. Our heavy armored army will not be able to hold on any longer."
"Yes! Your Highness, these are our elites. Our Star Luo Empire only has these 100,000 heavy-armed troops in total. If we are defeated by the Spirit Empire, how will we defend the rear?"
"Your Highness, the Heavy Cavalry Legion is about to be destroyed. Please give the order quickly. If this continues, the Heavy Cavalry Legion will be finished."
…
The heavy armored corps is extremely important in any country. The financial resources required to form a heavy armored corps are almost equal to ten infantry corps. Both the equipment and the quality of the soldiers are the highest in the military system. Originally belonging to Tiandou,
In the kingdoms and principalities of the two great empires of Star Luo, it is already very difficult for each country to have one or two heavily armed legions. At this time, seeing these precious soldiers being continuously slaughtered under the impact of the Spirit Empire’s army, how can they
Can you not feel bad?
Davis couldn't help roaring, "Why didn't I give the order? Was it because I didn't want to? Those grandsons ran faster than me, how could I call them back?"
