Chapter Five Hundred and Forty-Five The Battle of the Royal Court
"Okay, I understand." The young man sheathed his sword, immediately stood up, dressed up, and strode out of the camp. This young man was naturally Han Yi. After a year, his accumulated military exploits had allowed him to be promoted to the rank of forward
The commander of the battalion leads a battalion of three hundred men and horses.
That night, three hundred people on horseback rushed out of Longguan City and headed west. After a night of running, Han Yi led the vanguard battalion to Mingquan Sand. They hid behind the sand dunes and waited for the Qinglang tribe to pass by.
At this time, not far from Mingquan Sand, a group of about 500 troops was approaching. They were all wearing gray animal skin coats and hats, and black cloth covered half of their faces to protect against the wind and sand.
"Commander, they are coming."
Two scouts dressed in black rushed up the sand dunes and came to Han Yi to report.
"Wang Tong, pass the order and prepare to attack."
"Yes, General." Wang Tong, Han Yi's original corps commander, has now become his personal guard.
The three hundred people behind them got the order and pulled out the steel knives on their horses in unison. Everyone looked serious and did not dare to make any sound. All the horses had their mouths sealed, and there was a dead silence on the surrounding sand dunes.
The sound of the wind seemed to be silenced by the solemn atmosphere, making it unheard.
Seeing the 500 men and horses of the Qinglang tribe entering the attack range, Han Yi suddenly raised the steel knife in his hand.
"kill--"
Clamping his legs hard, the war horse immediately rushed out.
"Kill--" A loud shout of kill rang out from behind the sand dune. The men and horses of the Green Wolf tribe passing below were startled and immediately panicked.
They only saw a large group of war horses rushing down from the sand dunes on the left, with unparalleled momentum. Soon, the two groups of people collided with each other, and their swords and swords met, and blood spattered everywhere.
Han Yi was like a sharp sword, piercing directly into the core of the Qinglang army. No one in his path could defeat him.
"Stop him, stop him quickly." When the leader of the Green Wolf Tribe saw Han Yi rushing towards him, he was like a murderous god. The aura frightened him so much that he turned pale and roared in panic.
The surrounding cavalry immediately rushed towards Han Yi, but those guys were unable to cause any hindrance to him. The steel sword cut off one figure after another. He quickly rushed to the leader of the Green Wolf Tribe, slashed him with the sword, and threw his huge head.
Fly up.
Seven years later, the Royal Court of the Eagle Tribe.
A hundred thousand troops surrounded the stone city and attacked and killed them crazily. Cries of killing and screams came one after another, shaking the heaven and earth like a wave.
"Battering ram, out."
Among the army, on a mobile tower, a middle-aged general wearing silver armor and a blue wind cloak calmly issued an order. The ordering soldier immediately waved the order flag, and the three troops immediately rushed out and gathered together, on the left and right sides.
The men and horses held their round shields high, forming a moving steel fortress and advancing slowly.
"Shenjian Camp, volley cover."
The command flag was waved again, and behind the army, on the left and right sides, four divine arrow battalions of 3,000 men bowed like the full moon, and 12,000 arrows flew into the sky, turning into a dense rain of arrows.
"Chichichichi——" In an instant, countless Eagle Soldiers fell under the rain of arrows. All the surviving soldiers hid, not daring to show their heads at all.
"Boom -" a loud noise came, and the entire city wall shook violently.
In the tower, the face of the warrior of the Eagle Division who was in charge changed drastically.
"No, they used a battering ram." He stood up suddenly, "Hurry up Jingcao."
A bundle of wattle grass that was still green was doused with kerosene, lit, and thrown down from the tower. Thick smoke immediately emitted and spread.
"General, look." On the mobile tower, someone beside the middle-aged general exclaimed.
Seeing the enemy using wattle grass, Han Yi was not surprised at all. The soldiers responsible for moving the siege ram couldn't stand the smoke and all retreated. Countless arrows fell from the top of the city, causing heavy casualties.
"Prepare crossbows and trebuchets. This general is going to knock down the tower." The middle-aged general said fiercely.
The command flag was waved, and thirty six-meter-high archery towers moved out on the left and right sides. Each archery tower had two floors, and three huge crossbows were arranged on each floor. Behind the thirty archery towers, they were lined up.
There were fifty trebuchets, and the soldiers quickly loaded the boulders.
"put."
"Boooooooooo-" Hundreds of four-meter-long fine steel spears were shot out by crossbows, aiming at the towers on the city wall.
"Huh-huh-" The trebuchet threw a boulder weighing hundreds of kilograms, hitting the tower like a meteor.
When the soldiers holding heavy shields in front of the city tower saw the overwhelming number of spears and boulders, their eyes widened in horror. Before they had time to react, the spears fired at them and penetrated with a bang.
It broke the heavy shield in front of them and then penetrated their bodies.
The huge force flew their bodies backwards, some broke through the wooden door and flew into the city tower, and some were directly nailed to the earth wall with spears.
"What's going on?" the warrior in the tower roared. However, he saw a terrifying scene, as huge stones flew towards the tower where he was.
"Boom -" The roof of the city tower was directly smashed through, and the earth wall in front was smashed. After dozens of boulders fell, the city tower became precarious.
"Young Master, retreat quickly."
A soldier rushed to the warrior and pulled him to leave. Suddenly, a huge force suddenly took him flying out, but a steel spear pierced his body and nailed him to the wall.
The warrior turned around and saw countless spears coming.
"No." He said in a horrified voice.
"Chichichi—" Three spears penetrated his body directly, tearing him apart and turning him into a corpse on the ground.
Another round of boulders fell, and the city tower was turned into ruins. Seeing this scene, all the surrounding soldiers fell into panic and lost the command of the general. It was only a matter of time before the city was broken.
On the mobile tower in the center of the army, the middle-aged general smiled when he saw this scene. This middle-aged general was naturally Han Yi. After seven years of fighting, he had been promoted from the commander of the forward battalion to the general, commanding the troops.
One hundred thousand.
The battle to attack the Imperial Court of the Eagle Tribe was supposed to be presided over by the general Li Ying who was originally stationed in Longguan City. However, the general was injured in the battle a year ago. If Han Yi had not arrived in time, he would have died on the battlefield.
It was also due to the failure of that battle that the general was recalled to the capital by the imperial court, and Han Yi was promoted to general, presiding over the border war. During this year, the remaining four tribes of the Qiang people were successively captured by Han Yi's troops. Today's Xiong
The Eagle Part is already the last one.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the city gate to be broken open by a battering ram, and the soldiers swarmed in with great excitement.
"Wang Tong." Han Yi shouted immediately.
"The end will be here."
Han Yi looked at Wang Tong who was kneeling on one knee in front of him. After more than ten years of fighting, his face was full of vicissitudes and his temples were turning white. Following Han Yi, Wang Tong's official position has now been promoted to the level of a general. If he takes a further step, he can
Become a commander and lead a battalion of soldiers.
"I have ordered you to lead a team of troops into the city to capture the Great Lord of the Eagle Division."
"Yes, I will take the order." Wang Tong's body trembled with excitement, he quickly accepted the order, turned around and left. Han Yi simply gave this credit to him in vain, obviously hoping that he could use this credit to gain an official position.
Go one step further.
After the battle lasted for several hours, it finally came to an end. Almost all the Eagle soldiers in the city who resisted were killed, and only a handful of them abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
It took several days for the Eagle Division to be completely subdued by Han Yi. Not long after, he received an order from the capital and returned to the court.
Returning to the capital, Han Yi was welcomed into the palace with a grand ceremony and accepted the reward. Nearly ten years of fighting on the border finally allowed Han Yi to reach the pinnacle of military generals, becoming a true general and even being awarded the title of Marquis Liewu.
However, what Han Yi didn't know was that his knighthood directly caused countless princes and nobles in the capital to secretly hate him.
After leaving the palace and returning to the Marquis Mansion given by the emperor, Han Yi changed out of his silver armor and wore only a black long coat. He sat alone in the study, closed his eyes and fell asleep, and some broken pictures flashed in his mind for no reason.
I don’t know when he started to have some memories that didn’t belong to him in his mind. Every time he dreamed about it at midnight, the last picture in his mind was always the sad faces of women, as if he had let down those people.
woman.
Every day after that, Han Yi always lived in seclusion and hardly interacted with any princes or nobles. Even if someone took the initiative to invite him to a party, he refused them all, even the invitation from the prince.
After many attempts, the princes, nobles and princes realized that Han Yi did not like to interact with others, so they did not waste time on him and instead began to win over Han Yi's generals.
Time flies like an arrow, the sun and the moon fly by, and three years go by in a blink of an eye.
On this day, Han Yi was studying and writing at home as usual. Suddenly, a group of armored Imperial Guards appeared at the door of the Marquis Mansion. They ignored the warning of the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion and rushed directly into the mansion. They came to the backyard and moved Han Yi to the pavilion where he was.
People gathered around.
"Master, they" the housekeeper rushed to Han Yi and wanted to say something anxiously, but Han Yi raised his hand to stop him.
"Okay, all of you, please stand down. The person they are looking for is me." Han Yi didn't seem to be surprised by the arrival of the imperial army. He calmly wrote the last word and put down his pen.
"Marquis Liewu, under the orders of His Majesty, I will take you to Dali Temple for investigation." The commander of the Forbidden Army calmly looked directly into Han Yi's eyes and said.
"Okay, I'll go with you."
"Sir," the butler exclaimed.
"Steward Liu, since I'm not here, you will be responsible for the affairs of the house."
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely take good care of everything in the Hou Mansion."
"Let's go." Han Yi walked up to the commander of the Imperial Army.
On the left and right sides, people immediately stepped forward, preparing to put chains on Han Yi. Han Yi's eyes turned cold, and the hearts of the two forbidden soldiers immediately beat wildly, as if they were being targeted by a savage beast.
"Your Majesty has not convicted me yet. Commander She, are you sure you want to put me in chains?"
