Meng He obviously didn't know what the Golden Empire was, and he shook his head repeatedly. Ye Ming frowned. The army has been preparing for several months. Is it just to attack the Golden Empire? Where is the Golden Empire and what is its strength? Why attack it first
Although he had many questions in his heart, no one answered him, so he simply stopped thinking about it and focused on training his troops, waiting for the big battle in three days. He was well aware of the dangers on the battlefield, so he continued to let the giant spirit soldiers practice battle formations. As long as the battle formations were not broken, their lives were guaranteed.
Three days later, another military order came from the camp, ordering him to lead his army back, and 30,000 people broke out of the camp and returned. After returning to the camp, Ye Ming discovered that the formation of the three armies was rigorous. It seemed that in the past few months, all the troops and horses had not been idle, but were training intensively and no time was wasted. The results of the training are obvious. The soldiers obeyed the orders and commanded as expected, and finally had the appearance of a regular army.
In Fan Xiguang's camp, all the generals stood in rows, and the atmosphere was quiet and solemn. Fan Xiguang's eyes swept across the crowd and said in a deep voice: "Generals, the war is about to begin. Let me briefly talk about the Golden Empire that our army is about to attack."
In Fan Xiguang's words, the Golden Empire was a decaying and declining empire, five thousand miles away from the camp. After several months of reconnaissance, it was discovered that the Golden Empire contains many large-scale spiritual mines, which are rich in elixirs and spiritual fruits, and are extremely rich. The Golden Empire had a population of over 10 billion and an army of tens of millions, so it was supposed to be a formidable opponent.
However, the Golden Empire implemented a feudal system. The princes in various regions did not listen to the propaganda and acted on their own affairs. Some princely states even simply ignored the central government's orders, so centralization existed in name only. Obviously, no vassal state can be the enemy of the Suzaku Dynasty's army, which is why they chose to attack it.
At the end, Fan Xiguang said: "Generals, by taking down the Golden Empire, we will establish an unparalleled feat and lay the foundation for the subsequent actions of the Suzaku Dynasty. From now on, the Golden Empire will be the base camp of our Suzaku Dynasty and our base for attacking other regions. Pedal. Therefore, our Suzaku army will definitely win this battle, and all generals must also have the determination to win!"
"Of course, with victory comes death. All generals must obey the general's orders and must not disobey. Anyone who disobeys orders will be killed without mercy!" Fan Xiguang said the next sentence with murderous intent, and the generals responded loudly.
Ye Ming thought to himself, although the Golden Empire is a piece of loose sand, when the vassal states find that there is a powerful force that wants to annex them, won't they unite? By then, won't the battle reach a stalemate? In his heart, he did not approve of this tough invasion strategy. However, others spoke softly and could not speak at all, so these thoughts could only rot in their stomachs.
Fan Xiguang continued: "The Golden Empire is vast and has four hundred princes. Our group is going to attack the Wuyang Kingdom. The other groups will also attack a country respectively." After speaking, he led everyone to the sand table. Point out the location of Wuyang Kingdom.
"Wuyang Kingdom is located on the border of the Golden Empire. It is surrounded by mountains and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. I have sent people to conduct reconnaissance. There are forts and heavy crossbows built on the city walls of Wuyang Kingdom, which are very powerful. Once an attack is launched, it must be broken through as soon as possible. Otherwise there will be heavy losses." Fan Xiguang then pointed out the thirty-six roads one by one.
"These thirty-six official roads lead directly to the city gate. All generals will defeat them one by one." He said, and then assigned tasks to everyone. The powerful military leaders were responsible for attacking several places. As for those with fewer soldiers, several soldiers will attack one place together.
For example, Ye Ming was arranged to attack a section of the city wall corresponding to a secret passage with the two military leaders Cang. The two military leaders who cooperated with him were named Yu Lingjian and the other named Fan Shaochuan. These two men have more soldiers and horses than Ye Ming. One leads 100,000 troops, and the other leads 150,000 troops.
After assigning the mission, the army began to march rapidly towards the Golden Empire. The weakest of the soldiers who participated in this battle were also samurai, so they ran like lightning and arrived at the border of the Golden Empire one after another on the evening of the next day.
After Fan Xiguang's team arrived near Wuyang Kingdom, they immediately divided into thirty-six groups. Fan Xiguang himself led the western part of the Suzaku Army to stay put and be ready to support at any time. Ye Ming's three soldiers mainly attacked a section of the wall in the southwest. Two friendly troops, Fan Shaochuan and Yu Lingjian, obviously did not take him seriously. Although the giant spirit soldiers were powerful, they were difficult to control. They did not believe that Ye Ming could subdue him. These big guys. Furthermore, in terms of soldiers, they were far superior to Ye Ming, so they looked down upon him.
A hundred miles away from the wall, Fan Shaochuan spread out the map and said to Yu Lingjian: "Brother Yu, you and I will join forces and take down this section of the city wall in one go."
Yu Lingjian nodded: "Wuyang Kingdom is not strong, with a total force of less than three million. If we divide our troops into thirty-six divisions, each with less than 80,000 troops, we can easily win."
The two people didn't take Ye Ming seriously, and ignored him without discussing the battle plan with him. Ye Ming is not angry either. These two people obviously have no combat experience and are just talking on paper, so let them suffer a little.
Ye Ming didn't take it seriously, but the giant giants stopped. In their eyes, Fan Shaochuan and Yu Lingjian's troops were similar to ants, with no fighting power at all. How dare they look down on them with just two garbage teams? However, Ye Mingling came out like a mountain. Although they were not angry, no one said a word. They were all holding their breath and gritting their teeth secretly.
After some discussion, Fan and Yu abandoned Ye Ming and led a mighty 250,000-strong army to rush over, leaving Ye Ming behind. Their idea is simple, whoever enters Wuyang Kingdom first will be able to grab resources first and make military exploits. Obviously it is not difficult to win the Wuyang Kingdom. Why should the resources and credit be given to Ye Ming
Fifty miles, thirty miles, ten miles, the army quickly pressed forward, and the war was about to break out.
Ye Ming ordered the giant spirit warriors to stand by, while he himself stayed far behind the siege team to check the situation. After the army pressed ten miles away, a bright light suddenly lit up on the wall, and thousands of hot lights shot out. The light was the size of a house and crashed into the ground with a rumble. After countless loud noises, terrifying shock waves spread everywhere.
Some of the siege soldiers bore the brunt of the attack and were directly burned to ashes by the white light. Even those who were not in the center of the white light were blown away with their legs and hands broken, and screams continued one after another. In an instant, the 250,000-strong army was reduced by one-tenth. Fan Shaochuan and Yu Lingjian were fooled immediately. What happened? What kind of weapon is this? City defense cannon
"put!"
There was a thundering roar, countless dense whistles in the sky, and arrows rained down from the sky. Each arrow is more than three meters long and is made entirely of fine iron. When they fall from a high altitude, their speed and force are terrifying.
"Pu Pu Pu Pu!"
Countless warriors were pierced by arrows and pinned to the ground, waving their hands in despair. If Fan Shaochuan and Yu Lingjian hadn't reacted quickly, they would have been nailed to the ground by sharp arrows.
However, the nightmare was far from over. Ten divine lights suddenly rushed out from behind the city wall, hit the ground heavily, and transformed into ten giant beasts. These ten giant beasts have different shapes, some are tigers, some are wolves, some are leopards, and some are lions. They are taller than the city wall and more than a hundred meters long. Each of the giant beasts was glowing, roaring loudly, and in their heads, there was a human figure looming.
"What the hell?" Fan Shaochuan shouted, his face turned pale.
"Roar!"
A giant tiger roared wildly, swept its tail, and thousands of soldiers were beaten into flesh. With a tiger roar, hundreds of people were shocked to the point of bleeding, fainted, and were then trampled into meat pies by the giant beast.
"Quickly, finish the battle formation!" Yu Lingjian finally came to his senses and shouted loudly. Unfortunately, it was too late. The giant beasts were rampaging. Coupled with the previous attacks from arrows and cannons, the 250,000-strong army had been defeated and could not organize effective resistance. He could only watch helplessly as the soldiers were continuously killed and fell to the ground.
"How could this happen! Isn't Wuyang Kingdom very weak? What the hell are these giant beasts?" Fan Shaochuan was going crazy, grabbing his hair with both hands.
"Retreat, retreat!" The two military leaders shouted almost at the same time.
The army retreated like a dive, but the giant beasts chased them for hundreds of miles. Corpses were everywhere along the way, and screams continued. When the giant beast finally stopped chasing, when the two counted their troops, there were less than 50,000 left out of the 250,000 people! The two military leaders immediately became anxious. Instead of looking for the reason for their defeat, they all stared at Ye Ming not far away.
"Ji Wujiu, why did you stand still and refuse to save him?" Fan Shaochuan asked sharply.
Ye Ming was also shocked by Wu Yangguo's powerful fighting power. He came back to his senses at this time. When he heard the other party's rebuke, he smiled and said: "You are going to die by yourself, do you want to drag others to die with you? "
"Fart! If you had provided timely support just now, we wouldn't have suffered such serious losses." Yu Lingjian said angrily, "I will report this to General Fan and punish you!"
Ye Ming smiled "hehe": "Idiots and shameless people are really no match for you. Punish me for my crime? What crime did I commit? Before taking action, you two discussed it. Why didn't you think of calling me at that time? Are you afraid that I will steal your battle achievements and share your resources? Are you thinking of me now that you have been beaten to pieces? Is it me who refuses to save you, or are you marching rashly? I think General Fan will be able to tell clearly."
"Childish! Do you know who Shaochuan is? He is General Fan's nephew. Who do you think General Luo will turn to?" Yu Lingjian sneered, "Besides, this general is not a vegetarian. The Yu family, a golden family, can you listen? Did you say that?”
Yu family? Sulan's family? It seems that it is no longer a golden family, right? He glanced at Yu Lingjian and asked, "Who are you, Yu Lingdai?"
Yu Lingjian was stunned: "Do you recognize my sister?"
Ye Ming sneered: "Sure enough, we are not a family. We don't enter the same family. What a bullshit gold family. If I remember correctly, the Yu family is now a silver family. Is it interesting for you to put gold on your face?"
Yu Lingjian became angry when someone said something that hurt him, and shouted: "Ji, after all, you have committed a serious crime, and no one can save you!"
Ye Ming could see that these two things suffered heavy losses, but he was unscathed, so they became unbalanced and shamelessly wanted to drag him into the water. He sneered and said, "Okay, I want to see how you punish me."
Yu Lingjian and Fan Shaochuan were hating and angry, so they went to see Fan Xiguang side by side, told what happened here, and sued Ye Ming for refusing to save him. Not long after, Ye Ming was summoned to the military tent. When he arrived at the military tent, he found that many of the military leaders had returned, all of them disgraced, and many of them were still injured. It can be seen that most people did not take advantage of the first wave of attacks. It seems that their experiences were similar to Fan and Yu, and many people suffered heavy losses.
"Snapped!"
Fan Xiguang slammed the table and asked, "Ji Wujiu, do you know your guilt?"
Ye Ming said calmly: "I don't know what crime I have committed. Please make it clear to me, General."
Fan Xiguang said: "Fan Shaochuan and Yu Lingjian told you to stand still and not save people until death. Is this a problem?"
Ye Ming sneered: "Those two men were greedy for power and rushed forward, but they were ambushed by the enemy. Judging from the situation at the time, we had only 30,000 troops to rescue and were unable to change the situation. Furthermore, the opponent's attack was so fast that I could not rescue them at all. .By the time my men and horses arrived, they had already been killed and retreated."
"You have many reasons." Fan Xiguang frowned, "However, everyone else fought bloody battles, but you were the only one who didn't lose a single soldier. Isn't this true?"
Ye Ming: "Back to the general, the general is thinking about ways to break the city."
"Hmph! Ji Wujiu, stop making excuses and plead guilty quickly!" Fan Shaochuan said loudly.
Ye Ming sneered: "Fan Shaochuan, although you are the nephew of General Fan, you can't give orders on behalf of the general, right?"
Fan Shaochuan was startled and glanced at Fan Xiguang. He found that the latter's face was not friendly and he quickly closed his mouth.
"Ji Wu Jiu." Fan Xiguang shouted, "No matter what your reasons are, it is taboo to stand still. I will give you three days. If you cannot break the city within three days, you will be dealt with according to military law!"
Ye Ming was furious. Fan Xiguang was clearly favoring Fan and Yu. How could he destroy the city with only 30,000 people? The other party is going to kill him! Although he was annoyed in his heart, he didn't show it at all on his face and said calmly: "I obey my orders."
Back at their own military camp, Meng He and others cursed loudly after learning about the situation. Ye Ming was calm. He signaled everyone to calm down and said: "Nothing is difficult in the world. It's useless to scold my mother now. I'd better think about how to break the city."
Meng He said: "Sir, the opponent's defense is amazing. Regardless of the cannons or the rain of arrows, we are unable to withstand them. Especially the ten giant beasts behind them are really terrifying. At least they have the combat power of a warrior class."
Ye Ming nodded: "Yes. The superiors seriously underestimated the combat power of the Golden Empire and suffered heavy losses today. I took a hard look and found that 90% of the soldiers have lost, and the number of troops was seriously reduced. At least 30% of the soldiers died."
"Sir, is there nothing we can do?" Meng He said with a bitter face, "Even those great soldiers with millions of soldiers couldn't break through the city wall. In three days, it is impossible for us to succeed."
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "It depends on man-made things. You must be alert to the enemy's night attack tonight. I will go there myself." After that, he disappeared in a flash and silently approached the city wall.
