"My husband is right. If I didn't collect merit for preaching, I would have planted toadstools on the entire planet. Since I want to gain people's hearts, I have to follow the secular method and do it step by step. I don't expect it to take too long.
Che Yue Kingdom will be in our hands, and the Black Sect's counterattack is expected to be even more powerful. We must always pay attention to the Black Sect's masters, who will cause too much damage to our army."
As soon as Qin Yu finished speaking, Qin Fu raised her eyebrows: "A group of troops from the Che Yue Kingdom has crossed the mountain border and is coming towards us. There are about a few thousand people. They should be scout troops. It seems that their
The assembly has been completed."
Zhang Cong laughed and said: "Order three thousand Qingqi to greet them. Since we are weak to meet the enemy, give them some news."
Qin Yu nodded, stood up and left the meeting hall.
More than 300,000 Cheyue allied troops have gathered in Xingyang Town, the important town of Skyfire, which is separated by a big mountain and borders Hengshan County. Russell, the commander of Cheyue, has reorganized the soldiers and horses of all the states and counties into legions, except for the tens of thousands from the Black Sect.
The Black Knights are independent from the Legion and are not under Russell's control, but fight on their own.
Nearly 150,000 cavalry and more than 100,000 infantrymen, carrying a large amount of equipment, are waiting for the scouts to report back, so that they can cross Chiyang Mountain and enter Hengshan County in one fell swoop. They are preparing to spread out their formation on the plain, slowly press in, and attack the Holy Cult in one fell swoop.
The rebels encircled and annihilated.
Three thousand light cavalry scouts of the Vietnam Alliance Army, all cavalry from Tianhuo County, led by a captain quickly crossed the border and directly formed their formation on the plain, searching for Wanjia Town. They met Qin Yu not far away.
The discharged Qingqi.
The Qingqi from Hengshan County immediately stopped when they saw the cavalry from Tianhuo County, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed over with shouts.
This group of light cavalry were dressed in different attires. They brandished swords and guns as soon as they started fighting. They were beaten to a pulp and lost all their weapons. They ran back. The scouts from far away saw the cavalry running in.
Wanjia Town then became dull and closed, and smoke was lit on the towers.
The captain led the scout cavalry around the city, but saw no trace of a military camp. Then he led the team back to Xingyang Town with a wild smile. When he explained the situation, the coalition generals laughed. Jin Yang, the governor of Luohu Prefecture, saw
Zhang Tao asked: "Zhang County Governor, they say that your Tianhuo Army is invincible, but you were wiped out by this group of random soldiers? Don't tell me that your Tianhuo County concealed military information in order to hide your strength, right?"
Zhang Tao was furious: "You surnamed Jin, don't talk big. If you can withstand the Holy Cult's guardian group, then talk nice. A few soldiers can represent the strength of the Holy Cult? Are you dreaming?"
Russell waved his hand: "Don't argue, you two. The results of the investigation after we left showed that there may not be a large number of regular troops stationed in Wanjia Town at present, but some local soldiers are stationed. I ordered the army to speed up across Chiyang Mountain, and in Wanjia Town
We will gather in the Wanjia Plain for the first fifty miles, first capture Wanji Town and use it as a rear base to stock up on food and grass, and then slowly advance forward to drive all the enemy troops into Hengshan City."
After receiving the order, the generals went out to assemble their troops. At this time, Zhang Cong and his army had already left Wanjia Town and hid in the mountains and forests thirty miles south of the town. Only five thousand undead legions were left in Wanjia Town.
Resist enemy attacks.
Without paying a price, it is impossible for the opponent to be fooled. Zhang Cong wants to trap the Che Yue Allied Forces in Wanjia Town, consume the opponent's strength one after another, and force Che Yue Kingdom to send more people to Wanjia Town.
Create a huge trap and consume the effective strength of the counties of Che Yue to the greatest extent.
The five thousand undead legions have changed into the clothes of the soldiers, and their weapons are also the equipment of the soldiers. However, they left a large number of arrows and bombs behind. Che Yueguo must kill many people before attacking the city.
Otherwise, how could people be so easily fooled?
Thousands of war horses were left in the city. Zhang Cong asked the undead army to break out of the encirclement on horseback after all their arrows and equipment were used up, and fled towards Hengshan City, giving the enemy the illusion that the entire army was in Hengshan City.
It took a full day for Cheyue State's 300,000 troops plus their supplies and supplies to pass through Chiyang Mountain and gather in Wanjia Plain. According to Russell's order, Tianhuo County, Luohu Prefecture and other four state capitals sent 40,000 troops.
Baoda Wanjia Town.
Holding back his anger, Zhang Tao led 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 siege troops, and took the lead to march towards Wanjia Town. After dozens of miles of plains, he arrived outside Wanjia Town in an hour.
Tianhuo County's siege equipment is considered to be the most advanced in the entire Cheyue Kingdom. It has a long range and very powerful firepower. However, Zhang Cong also captured a large number of Tianhuo County's equipment. The undead legions on the city wall are not afraid of death at all.
The vehicles clashed with the siege troops of Tianhuo County. As a result, both sides' catapults were quickly blown to pieces. Not many of the undead legions were killed, but the troops of Tianhuo County suffered heavy casualties.
After the siege equipment from other prefectures and counties arrived, the undead army in Wanjia Town actually replaced a batch of rock-trebuchets and continued to attack people. Jin Yang was so angry that he cursed: "Zhang Tao, you idiot, you let someone capture it after all."
How many trebuchets and bombs are there? How come the fight lasts so long?”
Zhang Tao rarely said anything back this time. He knew that the other party's rock-trebuchets were all captured last time. In turn, they used them to fight against the Sky Fire Army. Nothing could be more embarrassing than this.
After bombing for a full hour, the bombs on both sides were exhausted. Zhang Tao was already mad. Not only Zhang Tao, but also the county guards of the other four counties were so angry that their faces turned pale. In just such an hour, the four counties dropped their bombs.
There are nearly 10,000 people inside, and there are thousands of trebuchets. Aren’t all the soldiers in Wanjia Town? Why are they so desperate?
Zhang Tao's 10,000 cavalry took the lead and rushed towards the city wall. After an hour of bombing, the city wall of Wanjia Town was in tatters. The 10,000 cavalry fired an overwhelming rain of arrows, immediately covering the defenders on the wall.
At this time, both sides were within a stone's throw of each other, and both could clearly see each other. The Skyfire Army was horrified to find that the soldiers guarding the city were acting like crazy, with several arrows stuck in their bodies, and some of their arms were covered in bullets.
One of them fell, but he still stood on the city wall and refused to retreat. He still fought back with his crossbows. This time, nearly a thousand people in the Sky Fire Army were hit by arrows and fell from their horses.
The Tianhuo Army was defeated by the soldiers guarding the city with one blow. Jin Yang's spear was raised, and ten thousand shield soldiers and archers quickly ran to the bottom of the city. Soon a shield array was set up. The army attacked the city under the rain of arrows and began to fight.
Cloud ladders were used to attack the city, while the cavalry of the Heavenly Fire Army fired arrows in rows to block the city.
This coordination can be said to be perfect. Unexpectedly, the soul on the city poured a large bucket of kerosene, and then a lot of torches were thrown down, and the city wall suddenly turned into a sea of fire.
Thousands of troops attacking the city suddenly turned into burning men. The infantry behind them quickly retreated, and the rain of arrows from both sides temporarily stopped.
After repairing for a while, the second wave of siege began. Unexpectedly, no arrows were shot down from the top of the city. When the infantry arrived at the top of the city, they saw that all the defenders were gone, and there were two corpses in the capital.
None were left behind, and they all fled through the back door.
Chen Tao and other four county guards were so angry that they cursed. Soon they received a report from spies, saying that thousands of local soldiers threw away their helmets and fled in embarrassment. The direction of their escape was Hengshan City.
In the siege of Wanjia Town, the four counties lost a total of more than 15,000 people and a large number of siege equipment. However, the achievements of the four counties were commended by Commander Russell.
The reason is that through the battle of Wanjia Town, a large number of the enemy's trebuchets and bombs were consumed to a great extent, which reduced the pressure for the future attack on Hengshan City. It can be seen from the desperate resistance of the Wanjia Town defenders that they were fighting for Hengshan City.
Setting up defenses to buy time will prove that the army is very fast and Hengshan City has not yet formed an effective defense.
Soon hundreds of thousands of troops entered Wanjia Town, demolished civilian houses, and used the dismantled materials to strengthen the city walls. At the same time, they also set up road barriers at the city gates on both sides and dug deep ditches.
Russell's intention was to use Wanji Town as a food and fodder stronghold in the rear. Strengthening the defense was of course the most important. While stationing the town, he continued to send out scouts to spy around and beware of the Holy Cult attacking the camp.
The water source of Wanjia Town is only a small river that flows through the town from the outside. The source is still outside the town. Russell is a fool. He immediately sent troops to strengthen the patrol protection of the water source. Every time before taking water, he had the black sect's warlock inspect it.
Only then can he cook and drink horses.
However, an accident still happened. For some unknown reason, all the horses began to have diarrhea that night after entering the city, and the diarrhea was extremely serious. Wanjia Town is not a big place, so most of the horses fell down on the plain outside the city.
, the soldiers surrounded several large horse paddocks, but the only water source was the small river.
The black sect's warlock quickly went to check and found that the water source was not poisonous, and the horses could not see anything abnormal. They came to the conclusion that they were not suitable for the acclimatization and the soil, and they could be raised for a few days.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, all the Che Yue soldiers and Black Sect monks also began to fart and have diarrhea. The entire Wanjia Town was soon filled with stench, and there were screams of pain everywhere.
The bacterial poison that Qin Yu put into the water source was not a fatal poison. It only caused itching and diarrhea. It was not fatal, but it would make people weaker and weaker, and it would be difficult to cure.
Everyone in Wanjia Town, including the Black Sect monks, was exhausted, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of soldiers. How could there be so many toilets in the city? Now there is almost no place without shit in the city. Many soldiers are dehydrated and lying down.
He couldn't move on the ground.
But before dawn in the early morning, Zhang Cong's 50,000-strong army surrounded the city and began to bombard Wanjia Town.
This time Zhang Cong spent a lot of money. Not only did the catapult throw bombs into the city crazily, but he also hoped that the bombs were filled with chili powder. When they exploded, not only did the houses collapse, but they also choked people and made them unable to breathe.
Wanjia Town was big enough that people could hide in the middle, but it still killed about 100,000 people, all of them soldiers who couldn't even move.
A round of artillery fire not only killed many people, but also burned a large amount of food and grass. Seeing that there was a problem with the water source, the food was destroyed again, and there were tens of thousands of active Holy Cult Protector Corps outside, led by Russell and the Black Cult.
The commander of the legion was about to cry. The diarrhea was not cured even after using several medicines. The army had completely lost its combat effectiveness. If it were trapped for another three days and the dry food and water on the soldiers were used up, they would not attack the city.
Also destroyed.
The final result of the discussion between the two leaders was that they must send people to break through the encirclement to find reinforcements. If it was too late, the whole army would be annihilated.
