The ancient Loulan country, a country that only exists in legends, crossed the sand boat, crossed the underground undercurrent, and brought the most elite army of the Qin Empire to this mysterious country, a country that seemed to be in another dimension. A hundred thousand troops were ready to go, waiting for the moment of war to come.
In front of the huge sand table in the Chinese army's tent, Da Siming and Shao Siming jointly cast spells. Suddenly, sand and dust were seen flying up from the plate, hanging in the air, and the topographic map of the ancient Loulan country was outlined in detail.
This is a country built on a desert oasis, surrounded by many mountains and peaks, forming a natural barrier for Loulan. At this time, Jiang Chen and the others were in front of the Crescent Lake in the mountains to the east.
Crescent Lake is the lifeblood of the ancient Loulan country. A crescent-shaped lake covers nearly one-third of Loulan's area and supplies all the life consumption of the entire ancient Loulan country.
The white-winged bird chirped and flew back. He saw the illusory figure of the white phoenix, ducking into the tent and saying softly: "I have discovered the whereabouts of Gai Nie and others. They came to Loulan ten days ago, but It's a pity that because a girl named 'Xiao Li' who was traveling with them was recognized by the Loulan people as a member of the Chiyou Jiuli clan, they did not enjoy the heroic treatment of returning the dragon soul, but became prisoners. "
"Oh?" Hearing this, Wei Zhuang suddenly became interested. For him, as long as he could see Gai Nie deflated, he felt inexplicably happy: "I don't know why, but I suddenly became interested in Loulan people. Being able to How good their vision must be to treat my senior brother, who is righteous and well-known as a spy, as a spy!"
Jiang Chen said calmly: "What's Loulan's current situation? You've found out their specific military strength. This is the key point."
"Of course I checked it out, otherwise wouldn't my trip have been in vain?" Bai Feng said with a smile: "Although Loulan is a small country with a sparse population, and in recent years, due to the loss of the dragon soul and the withering of water sources, the strength has been greatly weakened, but Because they have been responsible for guarding the demon gods of soldiers for generations, the country takes military affairs quite seriously. Not only are there four elite armies of more than ten thousand people stationed on the four sides of the border, but there is also a temple composed of masters. Although there are only a few There are hundreds of people, but each of them is a master, and their strength cannot be underestimated."
"Temple?" When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "It seems that we still need to put in a lot of extra effort this time."
Wei Zhuang asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what Jiang Shangqing has to say?"
"No, it's just that a war is inevitable." Jiang Chen immediately said with a smile: "Meng Tian, I order you to lead the Golden Fire Cavalry to rush in at full speed. I want him to defeat at least one Loulan force in the shortest possible time. The ancient country’s border army opened the door to the capital of Loulan for us.”
"I have the order!" Meng Tian responded immediately without any doubts or doubts. Not long after, he heard the sound of horse hooves, but it was 50,000 golden fire cavalry who were dispatched in large numbers.
The Great Qin Iron Cavalry is the elite in the world. It can sweep away the six kingdoms and intimidate the frontiers. It can be said that it is invincible, and Meng Tian's Golden Fire Cavalry is even more elite among the elite. It moves as fast as the wind and as powerful as a rainbow. However, in just one hour, Then they arrived at the garrison camp on the eastern border of Loulan. Before the other party could react and organize an effective defense, Meng Tian shouted loudly:
"The whole army is here, bows and arrows are ready, throw them, let them go!"
As soon as the word "release" was spoken, the sky suddenly became gloomy, but thousands of feather arrows shot through the sky, densely arranged together, like a black cloud, blocking the sun. , overwhelmingly covering the Loulan border troops.
As if he sensed something, the leader of the Loulan border army who was inspecting the eastern border camp subconsciously raised his head and looked up. Suddenly, his whole body turned pale with shock and his face turned ashen. In addition to the extreme horror, he could not help but sigh. He kept shouting:
"Enemy attack, defense!"
However, it was too late in the end. Thousands of sharp arrows shot down hard on the heads of Loulan's frontier troops like they were blocking out the sky. The thrown sharp arrows had great diving force and could easily Penetrating the armor of the Loulan Border Army and nailing them to the ground, for a moment, screams were heard everywhere in the Loulan Border Army camp. But Meng Tian was not moved at all, and immediately ordered again:
"Everyone is here, prepare your bows and arrows, let's fire the second round!"
As the elite cavalry of the Great Qin Empire, the combat power of the Golden Fire Cavalry is naturally extraordinary. Following Meng Tian's order, 50,000 Golden Fire Cavalry immediately raised their bows and nocked arrows, and launched out.
Fifty thousand feathered arrows whizzed through the air, carrying a sharp sound of wind, and suddenly crashed into the Loulan border army camp that was already in chaos. The terrifying arrow rain was so dense that it was unimaginable, causing the most terrible damage, and there was a sudden burst of howling ghosts and wolves. , countless Loulan border troops fell into the rain of arrows.
Under the rain of arrows, those Loulan border soldiers were shot into hedgehogs in almost the blink of an eye, and died instantly. It was easier to avoid suffering. However, many soldiers were covered with blood. The scars pierced countless holes, but before he died, Shen Ren's screams were so miserable that it made people numb.
"Everyone is here, bows and arrows are ready, the third round of throws, let go!"
Without the slightest mercy, Meng Tian waved his hand, and the 50,000 golden fire cavalry behind him all set their bows and arrows, and attacked again. There was a fierce burst of fire, and the arrows rained down!
"Ah -" After a burst of shrill screams, more than half of the Loulan frontier troops in the east camp had suffered casualties, and the remaining people were in panic and were unable to organize a strong counterattack.
After several rounds of arrows, the Loulan border troops were frightened and fled away. No matter how their frontier generals boosted their morale, the outcome of this battle was already doomed. With calculated calculations and unintentional intentions, and the disparity in combat power between the two sides. The disparity is too great, how can the Loulan Kingdom be undefeated
"The whole army listens to the order, take advantage of the victory to pursue, kill!" Seizing the opportunity, Meng Tian shouted an order. Before the order could be heard, he had already drawn his sword and took the lead to kill the enemy. The soldiers behind him saw the generals personally going into battle. , naturally very excited, they also roared and killed towards the defeated soldiers.
There was no suspense about the rest of the battle. After an hour of fierce fighting, the nearly 20,000 Loulan border troops on the eastern border were almost completely wiped out. Meng Tian did not pursue the victory and eliminate the other three Loulan border troops. army, but camped on the spot, waiting for the arrival of the follow-up army, before continuing to advance towards the capital of the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
Loulan is just a small desert country. In terms of land area, it is not as big as a state in the Great Qin Empire. The army marched at full speed, and without encountering any resistance, it took less than a day to defeat them. As they advanced to the Loulan capital, what was surprising was that the defense of the Loulan capital was not as good as the border.
"This is the capital of a country?" He broke through the city defense easily, which made the three generals leading the army, Meng Tian, Meng Yi, and Guo Ming, feel a little unbelievable.
Jiang Chen didn't say anything, but turned to look at Bai Feng. With his unrivaled Qinggong skills, he was undoubtedly the best candidate to find out the information.
"Don't look at me. The credit for this matter actually belongs to Lord Gai Nie." Bai Feng said with a bit of a joking smile: "Because they brought back the dragon soul, everyone in the Loulan capital will now At this moment, everyone gathers in the square where the Jiutian Xuan Goddess statue is located to hold a grand ceremony."
"Ha!" With a chuckle, Wei Zhuang said with a cold smile: "I see, it seems that although senior brother has betrayed the empire, he is still serving the empire!"
Gongshu Qiu sighed: "It's a pity that all the siege equipment I carefully built are of no use now. It's such a waste."
"Stop talking nonsense, let's leave quickly." Jiang Chen ordered in a deep voice: "Meng Tian will lead the army, take over the city defense, lay traps, and eliminate the Loulan border troops who may come to help. Meng Yi, Guo Ming, you quickly suppress them The rest of the Loulan people in the city will follow me to Goddess Square. Now that we are here, how can we not meet our old and new friends?"
