"How far is it from Qingfeng City?" Xuan Feng couldn't help but ask again. Along the way, he had asked this question countless times.
In order to prevent Wan Haoxiong from noticing before, he did not dare to station his army too close to Qingfeng City, but now he couldn't help but regret it. If he could have been closer to Qingfeng City, he might have reached Qingfeng City by now.
"Report to the general, there are still five miles left!"
"Pass my order, the cavalry in front should ignore the infantry behind, abandon all baggage, and advance at full speed! No matter what the cost, we must cooperate with Cheng Xiong to entangle Wan Haoxiong outside Qingfeng City. Even if Wan Haoxiong has one soldier and one soldier alive, he Come to Qingfeng City and see you!"
Xuanfeng's order spread throughout the entire army in an instant. The 300,000 cavalrymen immediately abandoned all their baggage and carried only the swords used for slashing. They slapped the horses' buttocks with all their strength. Amidst the roaring sounds of the horses, they rolled up the yellow sand in the sky and headed towards Qingfeng City almost crazily. And go.
Watching the cavalry go away, Xuan Feng's mind calmed down a little, but he was still a little worried and his mind was full of worries about gains and losses.
I don't know if Cheng Xiong's 100,000 troops can hold Wan Haoxiong for so long? It should be possible. Cheng Xiong is a man with a bright mind, but he is the type who becomes more courageous with every setback. The stronger the enemy, the stronger the combat power he unleashes, and the greater the surprise it brings him. Initially, in order to select a suitable candidate to take on this important task, Xuanfeng stayed up for three days and three nights.
"Cheng Xiong, you must not disappoint me, general." Xuan Feng had many thoughts in his mind. This was the first time he had been like this for so many years of leading troops in war.
There is no other reason than that Wan Haoxiong is the most powerful opponent he has ever encountered in his life!
Three hundred thousand cavalry roared and galloped, and Xuanfeng's eight-horse carriage also increased its speed to the extreme. As for the infantry, they have long been left far behind.
It's only five miles away and you'll be there in the blink of an eye.
However, Xuan Feng did not hear the earth-shattering sound of fighting that he expected. Could it be that Wan Haoxiong's army was so vulnerable that it was defeated so quickly
Xuan Feng's heart couldn't help but sink suddenly. He had already experienced the combat effectiveness of Tiandu Kingdom's army many times, and it would never be so bad. Furthermore, can Wan Haoxiong be so easy to deal with? If that were the case, how could Wan Haoxiong make Xuan Feng care so much
An ominous seed sprouted in Xuan Feng's heart in an instant, and grew at an alarming speed.
Unable to hold back any longer, Xuan Feng jumped out of the carriage, flew onto a horse, clamped his legs together, and the horse carried him, galloping away like a meteor.
The 300,000 cavalrymen who arrived first were waiting there quietly, thinking they had no opponents, and looked a little dazed.
"What's going on? Where are Cheng Xiong's people?" Xuan Feng rushed over and shouted.
"General Qi, Cheng Xiong and the 100,000 troops he led have been completely wiped out!" A cavalry commander came forward and said with a strange expression.
"What did you say!?" Xuan Feng swayed and couldn't believe his ears. Cheng Xiong was a powerful general, and the 100,000 troops under his command were not just paper. How could it be possible that they would be destroyed immediately, and in such a short period of time
As soon as Xuan Feng received Cheng Xiong's signal, he immediately set off and chased him all the way. It took at most half an hour from the station to Qingfeng City. In half an hour, Cheng Xiong's 100,000 troops were completely wiped out. Not to mention the strength of Tiandu Kingdom, even the 700,000 troops under his command would never be able to do it.
Xuan Feng's first feeling was that it was impossible. There must have been some other accident. But when Xuan Feng, led by the cavalry commander, saw that it was the old lady with corpses lying everywhere, he was stunned.
Having been on the battlefield and seeing a lot of life and death, Xuan Feng could tell with just a glance that there were definitely hundreds of thousands of corpses in front of him. But... Xuan Feng soon frowned and asked in surprise, "Why do we only see the corpses of our Iron War Dynasty soldiers, but not those of the Tiandu Kingdom soldiers?"
The soldiers of the Iron War Dynasty all wore black armor, while the Tiandu Kingdom wore red armor. The contrasting colors are easy to spot at a glance. However, the corpses scattered all over the mountains and plains were pitch black without even a trace of red shadow. With Xuan Feng's carefulness, it was naturally easy to spot them.
The cavalry commander nodded and said with the same puzzlement, "That's right! I've sent someone to check it out, and the dead are all our people!"
"But how is this possible? In half an hour, they wiped out my 100,000-strong army, and even cleaned the battlefield and collected the corpses of their own people. If Tiandu Kingdom really had such ability, even we would have They were wiped out."
Xuan Feng cried out, his voice full of surprise.
Do you expect a cavalry commander to find the answer to something that even Xuan Feng can't figure out? The cavalry commander's expression became more and more strange, and he could only respond silently.
"General, the people of Tiandu killed our 100,000 troops. It's really hateful! Why don't we order an attack on the city! Brothers, even if we risk our lives, we must break through Qingfeng City and cut Wan Haoxiong into pieces!"
A somewhat impulsive Iron War Dynasty general gritted his teeth and roared back.
Xuan Feng really had such an impulse in his heart. In his memory, this was the first time he suffered such a big loss, and in the end, he couldn't even figure out how he suffered the loss. This coward can be said to point directly at Xuanfeng's bottom line.
However, when Xuan Feng raised his head, he found that the towers of Qingfeng City opposite were lined with spears and halberds and were heavily guarded. If he really ordered a hard attack, let alone whether he could conquer the city defenses carefully laid out by Wan Haoxiong, even if he could, the losses would be extremely heavy. Xuanfeng cannot take such a risk!
Tiandu Kingdom is not scary, Qingyun Empire is their real powerful enemy!
"Order the entire army to rest where they are. I'll go meet Wan Haoxiong!" Xuan Feng waved his hand, picked up the horse's reins, and ran towards the foot of Qingfeng City.
Several personal guards, together with several generals, hurriedly followed and protected him carefully.
Since the Xuanfeng army appeared, Wan Haoxiong appeared on the tower. At this time, he was looking at Xuan Feng coming towards him with a sneer on his face.
Wan Youqi stood next to Wan Haoxiong, looking at Xuan Feng's stern expression with cold eyes, watching him pat his horse and walk through the sea of corpses of the Iron War Dynasty soldiers, her mind was up and down. It is really not easy to make Xuanfeng suffer such a big loss!
It's a pity that Dingshanwei cannot reveal his identity, otherwise this battle would be enough to make Dingshanwei famous!
"Hahaha... Xuanfeng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? Your face is not very pretty!" Wan Haoxiong had been looking forward to Xuanfeng's expression for a long time, and he was not disappointed. The expectation was worth it!
Xuan Feng's face was not very pretty to begin with, and when Wan Haoxiong said this, it became even more ugly. Speaking of which, Xuan Feng's cultivation is really remarkable. He didn't jump up and kill someone after being ridiculed by Wan Haoxiong like this. The lieutenants beside him were not as cultivated as he was. Some rolled their eyes, some cursed, and some vomited blood.
"Marshal Wan is so courageous!" Xuan Feng said calmly.
"General Xuan Da is such a generous gift!" Wan Haoxiong said tit for tat, pointed at the corpses on the ground, and said with a smile, "Such a big gift is really too heavy, Wan is a little embarrassed!"
"Hmph! Can you tell me how you did it?" Xuan Feng's curiosity outweighed his indignation.
Wan Haoxiong shook his head, made a very confused expression, and said, "I don't know this either. Your soldiers seem to have become useless all of a sudden. All of them died before I even managed to recruit them." . Is it because of divine punishment?”
"Wan Haoxiong! You and I are old friends. Why hide it like this? Does your Tiandu Kingdom have any secret weapons?"
Wan Haoxiong laughed a few times and uttered two words: "Guess!"
"You..." Xuan Feng almost couldn't help but curse. He gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Even if your Tiandu Kingdom has some secret weapons, Xuan will not be afraid. In front of Xuan's cavalry, All resistance is a meaningless struggle!”
"If you're not afraid, then you're not afraid. Why are you shouting so loudly? It makes people think you have a guilty conscience."
"Wan Haoxiong, you just won a small victory for a while, what's there to be proud of? Have you forgotten how you looked when you escaped from Jinge City in embarrassment?"
"Xuanfeng, I don't want you and I like to quarrel! If you want to attack the city, come here. If you don't have the guts to attack the city, just get out. Don't talk in front of me!"
"Okay! Okay! Today, I, Xuanfeng, swear to the sky that I will not be afraid of Qingfeng City, and I will not be a human being!"
"You can break the city with just an oath? You can fool others with this trick, but it's useless in front of me, Wan Haoxiong! Come on, shoot the arrows!" As soon as Wan Haoxiong finished speaking, the archers who had been prepared for a long time immediately started firing. A hail of arrows fell towards Xuan Feng and the others.
Several guards and several lieutenants hurriedly waved the weapons in their hands and flew back while protecting Xuan Feng.
Seeing Xuan Feng retreating in embarrassment, Wan Haoxiong sneered and shouted, "Xuan Feng, you can escape quickly! Otherwise, I will shoot you into a hedgehog!"
Xuan Feng wanted to open his mouth to retaliate, but he didn't expect another hail of arrows to hit his head, so he could only swallow back the words that came to his lips.
When he returned to the main formation, Xuan Feng's face turned blue with anger.
"General, Wan has gone too far to bully others. Please order an attack on the city!"
"Yes, General! When did our Iron War Dynasty suffer such humiliation?"
Several lieutenants started making noise again.
Xuan Feng waved his hands in annoyance and shouted, "Stop arguing! Of course the city must be attacked, but not now. Wan Haoxiong has made it clear that he has been prepared for it. If we attack the city at this time, we can only let the soldiers die in vain!"
"Then...how long will it take?"
"When? When Wan Haoxiong dies! I might as well tell you that a strong man will rush here from the imperial city today. As soon as this strong man arrives, Wan Haoxiong's death will come. As soon as Wan Haoxiong dies, Qingfeng The city will be in chaos, and that is the perfect opportunity for us to attack the city!" Xuan Feng said with a sinister smile on his face. (To be continued)
