Chapter 43 Battle
When the vanguard of the Light Cavalry team approached the camp of the Black Cloud Empire less than two hundred feet, the more than twenty lights were all gone. All the mages of Saint Dore stopped their horse stance and released light balls for lighting, drifting into the Stonehenge.
Almost as the light ball illuminated the camp, the forward knights had already fought with the patrol team of the Black Cloud Empire. The three-meter-long piercing guns turned more than 20 knights and horses into barbecue meat skewers and rode them high and flew out.
Yang Tian roared, "Roll." He immediately rushed out with a slanted look on his horse. Gnu, whose eyes were flashing, shook his head and brought the 200 elite swordsmen to follow Yang Tian tightly.
Long Feng yelled a few times and released a large-scale bloodthirsty magic. Fense, who was ready to rush to chase after Yang Tian's back. Fense angrily slapped two palms at the group of Black Cloud Empire, knocked down more than a dozen Black Cloud Empire soldiers who rushed in the front, cursed at Long Feng, and ran all the way out.
The cavalry of Saint Dore had red eyes, and regardless of the blood flowers blooming on their bodies, they slashed the sabre in their hands, and thousands of soldiers from the Black Cloud Empire went to hell in an extremely unfair manner. If the people of Saint Dore didn't know the pain, if the people of Saint Dore hadn't stuck their weapons, they wouldn't have died as soon as they met.
Yang Tian cheered and ran to the corner where no one noticed him. He pulled out the big sword with both hands behind Gnu. A black sword light shone out in the air, cutting hundreds of Black Cloud Empire soldiers into two pieces from the side. Long Feng was also excited and rushed into the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire. He ignored the weapons they cut on him, punching one by one, and each punch hit a head. He shouted and killed layers of blood waves.
Fense didn't like this bloody shot very much, but she was desperately beating the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire. However, the people who fell under her were lucky. At most, they lost a few teeth and fainted, and there was no danger of life. She was just trying to exhale a breath that had accumulated over the years she had been a ghost.
In less than a cup of tea, the three of them cleaned up more than 2,000 soldiers from the Black Cloud Empire nearby, and stood leisurely on the top of the huge stone pillar to watch the battle below.
The Saint Dore cavalry, who were made similar to the zombie knight by Long Feng's hands and feet, were chopped against the Black Cloud Empire soldiers with great momentum. A Saint Dore's knight was cut off by a general of the Black Cloud Empire, but he felt no pain or fear at all. He raised his spear and pierced the general on the opposite side. At the same time, the brute force burst out in his body colluded with the two enemy soldiers behind.
Long Feng giggled, gathered the nearby dark forces, and injected them into the bodies of the soldiers below. It was vaguely visible to the naked eye, and the cavalry of Saint Dore and the horses were shrouded in a layer of black light. The terrified soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire cut off their weapons, and all the weapons bounced away by a strange force.
Long Feng yelled in a low voice: "Let's start, the feast of massacre..."
Yang Tian licked his lips and admired the bloody scene below with great interest. Fense sat cross-legged on the stone, yawning, and looked bored at the two teams of ant-like creatures in her eyes, slashing each other, twisting his head, and saying to Long Feng: "You might as well start yourself and kill them all."
Long Feng said seriously: "This is not possible. We need to fail this time, but we cannot win."
Yang Tian smiled: "But we are about to win."
Long Feng also smiled evilly and asked him, "Do you really think so?" His fingers bounced slightly, and a pure and peaceful shock wave enveloped the huge stone circle within ten miles, dispelling the auxiliary magic he had blessed on the Knight of Saint Dore.
The knights of Saint Dore who were slashing the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire suddenly found that they were covered with blood, and at the same time they heard an unbearable severe pain. There were certain parts missing on their bodies, and they all screamed. More than 300 knights with serious injuries fell off their horses and were stepped on them into meat paste by the Black Cloud Empire soldiers.
Long Feng laughed, jumped off the tall stone pillar, and shouted: "Everyone, retreat quickly, our information is wrong, they have too many people, we are not opponents."
The so-called defeat was like a mountain of fallen. The Saint-Dor Knights, who had just killed the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire, turned their horses' heads frantically, followed Long Feng in the direction they came from with strange moans. Yang Tian quickly jumped off the stone pillar, inserted his sword into the scabbard behind Gnu, jumped onto his own horse, took Gnu and others to catch up with the brigade, and fled together.
The Black Cloud Empire soldiers who could barely resist the crazy attack of the knights of Saint Dore were shocked to find that the terrifying enemy as devil suddenly began to flee. The fierce and vicious spirit in the blood suddenly surged up again, screaming strangely, and without caring about saving his companions, they swarmed out in a wild and began to chase the cavalry brigade with less than three thousand people left.
Long Feng had detected all the movements within a radius of fifty miles. He took the lead and led the cavalry brigade to circle around the wilderness, attracting the infantrymen of the Black Cloud Empire behind him, and slowly strolled towards the coalition brigade led by General Long.
A small black dot appeared in the far sky. Yang Tian glanced at it and recognized that it was the scouts of General Long. He began to quickly pull a few tattered cracks on his clothes, reach out and wipe a few handfuls of blood on his body on the dazed knights around him, and then spread their hair.
The black dots in the sky flashed three green lights, then sank downwards and disappeared quickly.
Long Feng snatched the spear of a knight beside him, clamored and slapped the horse under his seat, and led his team to speed towards the place where the black spots disappeared.
The constant fall of the knights who were too injured caused cheers from the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire who were chasing closely behind. Yang Tian shouted: "Damn it, are they running to chase our cavalry, are they wrong? They have not been left behind by us yet."
Fense sent a helpless voice to him and said, "That bastard Long Feng has tampered with it. Your horses seem to run very fast, but in fact they are about the same speed as infantry running. How could they leave them behind?"
Yang Tian almost got mad, his body staggered and almost fell off his horse.
A shrill trombone rang out in a long and dull drum sound slowly came from a very close place.
Two black flags suddenly stood up from the small earth buns on the left and right, and the blood-red words "tiger" and "wolf" on the flags were covered with the sound of "kill" that shocked the entire wasteland. A sharp murderous aura came overwhelmed by the horses that jumped away all the horses. This murderous aura seemed to be real and passed over the remaining soldiers of Saint Dore who were lying on the ground and rushed straight towards more than 40,000 soldiers from the Black Cloud Empire behind who were chasing Saint Dores happily.
Countless "Tiger and Wolf Army" soldiers wearing black armor and holding a big sword of bright goose feathers rose from all over the world. On their twisted faces were a pair of big eyes emitting bloody murderous intent, and the strong murderous intent filled the entire wilderness.
The soldiers of Yami and Delin trembled all over and avoided the almost crazy "Tiger and Wolf Army" soldiers from afar, blowing horns and hitting drums, just cheering for the "Tiger and Wolf Army".
The soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire were instantly calmed down by the cold murderous aura, and began to slowly retract the array to form a circular formation with the strongest natural defense.
The "Tiger and Wolf Army" did not move at all, and proudly stared at the more than 40,000 soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire a hundred feet away to form a formation. Yang Tian murmured: "Idiot, don't you know how to take the opportunity to attack? Are the 30,000 cavalrymen of their "Tiger and Wolf Army" a good meal? Do you have to wait until the other party sets up the formation before fighting for the troops?"
Long Feng stood on the spot with his hands behind his back and said slowly: "Have you ever seen the 'Tiger and Wolf Army' take action? Have you ever thought about why the 'Tiger and Wolf Army' appeared in a dynasty with benevolence and morality, and the name is so incompatible? After seeing it, let's speak again."
Twenty thousand "Tiger and Wolf Army" soldiers slowly walked down the mountain and surrounded the circular formation of the Black Cloud Empire without saying a word. That's right, 20,000 people surrounded more than 40,000 people. The momentum emitted by the circular formation of the entire Black Cloud Empire was far less than that of the 20,000 people.
Twenty thousand large special goose feather swords were raised, and General Long, with a gray face, spit out two words: "Slay the dead."
The 20,000 soldiers were like one, rushing forward in a standard movement. A figure flashed, and 20,000 hot lightning flashed in the wilderness. Twenty thousand heads rushed into the sky with blood columns; the sword light flashed again, and 40,000 and half-parted bodies meandered on the ground.
Twenty thousand "Tiger and Wolf Army" soldiers each made two blows, and then quickly retreated back to the place where they set out. In the field, there were 40,000 corpses and more than 7,000 soldiers from the Black Cloud Empire who were stunned and trembling.
Yang Tian's body couldn't help but tremble, and his blood-covered eyes stared at the slaughterhouse.
Long Feng leaned close to his ear and said coldly: "This is the difference between elite soldiers and ordinary soldiers. Does the most advanced swordsmen in the Western continent have their speed, their strength, and their murderous aura? Your two hundred swordsmen trained may be able to assassinate any big man from the Western continent, but compared with them, what about?"
Yang Tian squeezed out a few words from the cracks of his teeth: "They, damn... OK, okay, okay, good, a 'Tiger and Wolf Army'."
General Long's voice rolled through the wilderness like thunder, and said roaring: "You, put down your weapons, we will not kill the prisoners."
The soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire, who were scared out of their courage, quickly dropped their weapons and automatically lined up in a long line.
Yang Tian lowered his head and said slowly: "If there is such a million troops, I can conquer this world."
Long Feng whistled gently and said with a chuckle: "It's a pity that there are only 300,000 such troops in the whole world. If there were such an army of one million, the Black Cloud Empire would have been finished long ago."
Yang Tian raised his head, his face as usual, and he was extremely calm, but in his eyes, a black flame of looking at him burned wildly, and he said coldly: "Father can build such an army, so can I."
Long Feng shook his head. It was impossible for the second "Tiger and Wolf Army" in the world. An army without spirit and integrity would not be able to become such an invincible lion. Saint Dore? It was impossible for him to have such a spirit. Therefore, Yang Tian could not have such an army before establishing his own dynasty.
General Long walked to the ground with an extremely ugly expression, as if a bunch of refugee Saint-Dor soldiers. He pointed his big hand at the knights who were tossing and crying pain on the ground, bent down and gritted his teeth and said to Yang Tian: "My Prince, what happened to you? Why did you, who should be guarding food and grass in the rear, suddenly appeared in front of us and even had sex with the people of the Black Cloud Empire?"
Yang Tian smiled and didn't say anything. Long Feng quickly took the conversation and said, "Dear General, hehe, this, we heard a few days ago that there was a small number of troops from the Black Cloud Empire stationed in front of him... You also know that our highness is young, but no one can compare to his loyalty to make achievements and serve the Celestial Empire, so he took us to attack these garbage-like Black Cloud Empire long distance... But God doesn't bless us, we got the information wrong, and they actually had more than 50,000 people in the camp. We fought bloody night and killed more than 3,000 of them... More than 3,000 of them, but there were too many of them. For the honor of the Emperor of the Celestial Dynasty, we have been unwilling to retreat. However, His Highness is kind-hearted and kind. He really can't bear to see the soldiers sacrifice in vain, so he took us back... This is a strategic transfer, not a escape. I didn't expect to meet you General Long here. It's really God's blessing... Hehe... Hehe... Hehe..."
General Long roared: "There are only more than 3,000 troops behind you, and only these 3,000 people ran out? Where is the food and grass? Do you want us to return to Saint-Dor and mobilize a new batch of food and grass before dispatching? Do you believe that Marshal Wen, who commanded the battle in the eastern central front, ordered you to be chopped down?"
Yang Tian laughed: "Marson Wen seems to have a good relationship with the first commander of the 'Tiger and Wolf Army'..."
General Long's face changed. After thinking for a long time, he squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "This, of course, Your Highness, everyone knows that Marshal Wen was promoted by Commander Yang... But this, food and grass..."
Yang Tian said carelessly: "Oh, I understand. Marshal Wen is...hehe...General Long, don't worry, we are just five thousand cavalry raids, and all the infantry are still guarding the food and grass in the rear, so there should be no problem..."
General Long breathed a sigh of relief. If he, the most Western and most elite, could not cooperate with the entire battle line due to the food and grass problem, Marshal Wen would really chop off his head. Now that the food and grass are safe, why offend this prince with a delicate background? What's more, Commander Yang was really to himself before, and he had no say.
General Long smiled on his face and said with a smile: "Your Highness, your light cavalry attack this time can actually lose less than 2,000 people. He wiped out more than 3,000 of their 50,000 troops. I will write a military article to ask for you... However, your responsibility is to guard food and grass after all. If you leave your duty without authorization, it will be bad if this is spread out?"
Long Feng immediately spoke, "This is the trouble of General Long. After all, this is the first time our highness has experienced such a large-scale formal battle. If he is left alone, he is a young man after all, and it is easy to get things done."
Yang Tian nodded immediately with great grievance.
General Long and several senior generals of the "Tiger and Wolf Army" gathered together to discuss it, and immediately made a decision: "The 30,000 troops of the Asian and American Kingdom retreated to guard the food and grass, and took care of Saint Dore's wounded soldiers. Saint Dore's 10,000 infantry soldiers stepped forward as Yang Tian's guards, and at the same time guarded the central army and wiped out the army of the Black Cloud Empire in the wilderness of the huge rocks."
Yang Tian nodded and swayed with Long Feng, the tribe magicians temporarily dealt with the wounded in Saint Dore, waiting for the arrival of the military doctor. Fense was left by General Long to discuss the matter and asked her to tell Gehanu that after the expedition was completed, the Green Empire immediately gave the "Tiger and Wolf Army" 100,000 best war horses Yunyun.
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
Sitting on a huge rock and looking down at the lights of the military camp below, Yang Tian said a little tragically: "It seems that they are not very good when they are training. Unexpectedly, when they arrive on the battlefield, our soldiers are nothing compared to them. No wonder they swept across the entire Western continent in just a short time... Hey, the Celestial Empire, the Celestial Empire... When can I go to the Celestial Empire to see?"
Long Feng said irresponsibly: "I want to go? You can go anytime. Anyway, your performance is already revealed, so you don't have to be afraid of anything after you go."
Yang Tian mumbled, looked up at the stars in the sky, and suddenly asked, "You said, the Heavenly Dynasty can only allow me to seize this world, but it is only this world..."
Long Feng was happy and laughed: "Do you want to get more? But you have to pay attention, if you can't even get this world, why do you want to seize more things?"
Yang Tian stood up suddenly, looked at Long Feng with bright eyes and said, "Although I don't know what you mean, I will try my best to hold the whole world in my hand." He slashed hard at the endless void, and Yang Tian moaned in a loud voice: "Life is short, hehe, if I don't play with more beauties, kill more enemies, and occupy more land, what's the point of this life?"
Long Feng was also excited by him, pointing his fingers to the void for hundreds of consecutive times, pointing his fingers to the void, and whistling through the air, standing proudly with his hands on his back, and hummingly said: "That's right, a man is a real man. If he cannot make achievements and be remembered forever, he will kill and set fire to poison the world, and then he will be a demon for thousands of years. He will be confused and confused for a lifetime. How can he be the result of a hero?"
The two laughed loudly and held their hands tightly together.
Long Feng slowly regained his usual hippie smile, whispering humbleness, and said slowly: "But, when your strength is not enough, it is better to be a grandson. Even if you have the ability to compete with ten thousand people, one hundred thousand, one million, ten million, and billion, how many people can you kill?"
Yang Tian nodded, his eyes suddenly shrank, his shoulders collapsed, his back slightly bent, and his powerful aura disappeared. The one who stayed there was nothing but a powerless, cowardly prince.
×××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
The army marched in the wilderness for half a month, and wiped out a total of more than 150,000 guerrilla groups from the Black Cloud Empire. However, the news from other directions was not satisfactory. The Black Cloud Empire seemed to have begun to shrink its troops sent on the wilderness of the huge rocks, all retracted back to the southern coastline, and relied on the heroic city they established to start tactical defense measures.
Marshal Wen of the central army made a quick decision and ordered seven armies to gather in the middle of the giant stone wilderness and headed south to attack the Black Cloud Empire's first big city in the south, "Huoyun".
General Long, who received the order, immediately summoned all the superior military generals to the Central Military Account to discuss. Although Long Feng did not have a formal position, the prince of Saint Dore glared at his eyes and showed a slight look of turning against each other. General Long simply ordered Long Feng to enter the Central Military Account in person.
General Long conveyed Marshal Wen's order and stared at Yang Tian and said, "This time, we must comply with Marshal Wen's general order. So we decided to go to the middle of the giant stone wilderness to join other armies and teach the Black Cloud Empire a lesson. However, winter is approaching, and you understand that the southern continent is in good weather at this moment, but as long as we arrive there, we will not be able to return to the north within half a year. So, if you have any unwilling to leave your home for too long, you can go back. Especially for generals with special identities, I don't want to affect the relationship between the Celestial Empire and the vassal state because you are injured."
Yang Tian and others understood General Long's meaning. As soon as winter begins, the huge rock wilderness is not a place for people to stay. Except for the barbarians that once existed before, no one can survive in a violent blizzard. The army will not expect to cross the huge rock wilderness that is thousands of miles wide after raiding the "Fire Cloud City".
Yang Tian asked in surprise: "It is said that the Black Cloud Empire has gathered more than four million troops in the southern continent, controlled about 20 million indigenous residents in the south, and gathered near more than 20 cities. This time, we only had nearly one million troops and went south rashly. This... there are probably problems in terms of food and grass and military replenishment, right?"
General Long nodded deeply and said, "Marson Wen has taken this into consideration. Therefore, the local area of the Celestial Empire, 1.5 million new recruits have entered the Western continent. Some of the troops left behind in the rear, cooperated with the vassal states, quickly brought a large number of food, grass, horses, husbands and soldiers to join, and the total number of troops exceeded that of 3.3 million. In addition, our naval army troops advanced from the local area, and our personal combat power exceeded that of the soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire. This battle is still sure."
Long Feng widened his eyes. Although he had commanded a large-scale battle of one billion people before, he still could not imagine the bloody and crazy scene of millions of people fighting together in the era of cold weapons. His blood flowed wildly. Thinking about the fighting style of the past where he could destroy the enemy at a distance that was invisible when he pressed the button. Long Feng was shocked to find that only the shot of this white knife entering, the red knife coming out, and the blood flowers flying all over the sky was the real war.
Yang Tian pondered for a long time and looked back at Long Feng.
Long Feng knew what he was thinking. Since all the elite garrisons in the northern continent were preparing to raid the south, and the Celestial Empire sent another 1.5 million new recruits to the occupying power of the Western continent, then the strength of the Celestial Empire would also have a little gap within a certain period of time. If Yang Tian could go to the Celestial Empire now, would it be possible to take things from it?
Long Feng shook his head resolutely. There is no such simple thing in the world. The rulers of the Celestial Empire are definitely not fools and will not leave any weaknesses that may threaten their rule. Moreover, Yang Tian did not have enough reason to go to the Celestial Empire.
Yang Tian nodded and asked softly: "General Long, the preparation time for a large war will take at least one year. Is it because the Celestial Empire issued some orders?"
Long Feng stood behind Yang Tian and twisted the muscles on his back hard.
General Long looked at Yang Tian in surprise, and the divine light flashed in his eyes, but it made Yang Tian regret it.
General Long smiled: "Yes, indeed. We suddenly had some... Haha, the power in actual combat is not small, so... Haha. If you want to talk about the preparations for war, there must be insufficient food and grass. However, the southern continent has always been rich in resources, and it is no big deal to use local materials. Besides, the navy will transport a large number of supplies from the Celestial Empire to our army. There is no need to worry about these. It's Your Highness, your decision to act?"
Yang Tian rolled his eyes for a while, and laughed and said, "I'm still going to follow the army south... If I could make some military achievements, the little princess of the Stir Kingdom wouldn't be able to roll her eyes on me, right?"
General Long's expression stopped, laughed a few times, and did not force him to make a decision.
Back at his tent, he invited Gnu and brought some confidant swordsmen to surround the tent. Yang Tian said a little distressedly: "It really makes us unable to prepare anything. It was just a symbolic lesson for the Black Cloud Empire before the beginning of winter. It has been like this for ten consecutive years. This year, I suddenly have to directly attack their controlled territory. This..."
Long Feng thought for a while and frowned and said, "What strange new weapons do they have? They must be thinking that they can remove the power of the Black Cloud Empire on the Western Continent at one time, so they can't wait to order Marshal Wen to send troops. I don't believe that Marshal Wen will rashly travel through the huge rock wilderness and attack the territory of the Black Cloud Empire."
Yang Tian thought for a long time and said slowly: "No matter who he is, I order all the soldiers of Saint-Dor to return to Saint-Dor and not allow them to participate in this war. Anyway, we are not more, and we are not less, and they have nothing to say."
Long Feng said umm, "That's right, no matter what, we won't hurt a single hair, but Gnu still takes it."
Yang Tian raised his eyebrows, smiled slightly, said nothing, and nodded in agreement.
××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××
The next morning, the army under General Long was divided into two parts. More than 10,000 people from Saint-Dor quickly turned around and returned to their territory. The army of Yamei, Delin and the soldiers of the "Tiger and Wolf Army" carried Yang Tian, Long Feng, Fense, and Gnu, four "watchers" people, heading towards the middle of the huge rock wilderness.
More than 600 miles behind, the remaining soldiers of the "Tiger and Wolf Army" who received the order left their own grain and grass brigade, took a step and began to chase the pace of General Long and his coalition forces. A little later, the 200,000 light cavalry of the Green Empire quickly chased after the urges of the supervisors sent by the Tian Dynasty.
The Celestial Empire and its dozens of its vassal states, huge war machines began to operate at full speed. At the local port of the Celestial Empire, more than 30 latest ironclad ships, driven by new power, quickly abandoned the bloated fleet behind and began to rush to the distant oceans to attack the transportation fleet of the Black Cloud Empire.
Chapter completed!
