This order is a bit difficult, but seeing Dong Qifeng's gloomy face, no one would be stupid enough to make him angry at this time. A group of officers scattered like birds and beasts, working independently.
However, after the enemy attack alarm sounded, Heiliu City had already completed the first wave of military buildup.
After Qianye and Zhang negotiated briefly on their own, they decided that Dark Fire and the Third Army would each send half their troops to strengthen the city defenses.
The soldiers and heavy weapons on both sides arrived at the designated area at about the same time, but looking at it together, there is still a considerable gap between the Dark Fire, which has reorganized the Seventh Division, and the Third Army of the Empire. Regardless of quantity or quality, they are far from the opponents of the tiger and wolf division.
Standing at the top of the city, Qianye looked into the distance and saw huge floating airships slowly landing in the low sky in the distance, and teams of soldiers rushed out of them, gathering in different directions in an orderly manner.
This army obviously landed hastily, but it was busy and not chaotic, and it was obviously an elite division.
After observing for a few minutes, Qianye deduced that this army actually exceeded 10,000 people, which is the size of a reorganized division. Airlifting a complete division consumes an astronomical amount of resources, and there are only similar battles in the important battles of the upper continent.
Whose family is the family crest on the airship
Zhang Zizi, Wei Potian and Song Zining all stood around Qianye. Zhang Zizi was thoughtful, but he remained silent and said nothing. Wei Potian put down the binoculars, his brows were frowned, he couldn't remember which surname the family crest represented just like Qianye.
And Song Zining raised his eyebrows, as if he was a little surprised, "Look at the badges and battle flags, they are the private army of the Dong Clan of Surabaya, but the fiefdom of the Boss of Sishui is far away in the Eastern Continent, so it's really strange to have such an army in the Land of Eternal Night. Looking at this battle, it seems that it is inevitable."
"The Dong family in Surabaya?" Qianye immediately realized that the news Song Zining had received earlier was correct. Dong Qifeng did not give up on Heiliu City, and had mobilized the family's private army from afar. However, Qianye underestimated this General Dong, and never thought that he would have the courage to attack Heiliu City at this time.
"The Dong family in Surabaya!" Wei Potian was stunned, and then threw the binoculars in his hand to his followers, clenched his palms into fists, his knuckles crackled, and said with a grin: "Just let me see, what kind of things dare to bully me?" My brother." He has been extremely depressed for the past few days, and he doesn't care about any family, even if he is a powerful family, he will have a fight first.
Song Zining gave him a sideways look, with an idiot expression on his face.
Zhang Zizi's eyes swept over the three of them one by one, and turned to the distance calmly. Another battle flag was raised in the opposite army formation, with crossed muskets and blood-stained bayonets, it was the emblem of the expeditionary army.
However, Qianye was a little speechless when he looked at the army that had landed and assembled just a few kilometers away from Heiliu City. He was not afraid that the army in the city would take advantage of their unstable foothold to go out of the city to attack first
The three small gunboats in the sky are really useless, without Qianye's shot, even Zhu Wuya can shoot down one with a large-caliber sniper rifle. However, he immediately saw three figures jumping out of the flying boat in the center of the fleet, hovering in the air, they were three generals!
Qianye finally frowned.
At this moment, the Dong family's armored machinery has also been deployed on the ground one after another, but the heavy equipment is obviously insufficient. There are no heavy tanks at all, and there are very few heavy artillery. There are only some trucks and armed off-road vehicles. It seems that transporting these soldiers and equipment is the limit of the Dong family's ability.
If such a lightly armed force attacks other cities of the same level in the Eternal Night Continent, it may succeed. However, the defense facilities of Heiliu City have become as strong as a tortoise shell in the hands of Wei Bainian. Back then, even the army of the dark race could only make a detour. With three generals coming, it will not be easy to fight a siege.
At this time, Wei Potian couldn't bear it any longer, "These grandchildren are gathering under our noses. Are there dead people in the city? Qianye, I will take people out to kill his mother first, three generals? Who are you trying to scare?" ah!"
Qianye ignored Wei Potian, but glanced at Zhang himself, and said, "Let them come here first."
Song Zining sneered at this moment and said, "The walls of Heiliu City are strong, and the opponent doesn't have any heavy firepower. Why go out and fight them desperately? Let them spend a round first."
Zhang Zining smiled faintly. The tactic Song Zining said certainly made sense, but Qianye probably wanted to drag the Third Legion into the water, but he just didn't care too much.
The Zhang family in Haobei has the same roots as the Zhang family in Qingyang, the head of the family, but the independent ancestral hall has already passed the tenth generation. If the strength is weaker, it will not be able to maintain its position. What's more, he represented the Third Army during this trip, even if Uncle Sishui wanted to investigate afterward, he would not dare to go to the Third Army to make trouble.
Qianye quickly issued a series of orders, and the messenger who was waiting on the side immediately flew away.
After Wei Potian glared at Song Zining, he also died down.
At this time, there was a sudden noise from under the city, like a boiling pot. The voice of the warbler and the language of swallows are gentle and melodious.
"Is there going to be a war?"
"I heard that there are enemies coming from outside the city! Is it the dark race?"
"It must be! Aren't we here to see the dark race? Guess what's on the other side? A werewolf, or a nerubian?"
"He likes the blood race! They are cool and handsome! We must catch some of them this time!"
"It would be even better if there were demon descendants!"
"Yes! Just thinking about it makes me excited! Rang Rang, Rang Rang! Miss Ben can't wait!"
Qianye suddenly felt a headache, Zhang Zi's wooden face seemed to be twitching, Wei Potian suddenly turned into a statue, only Song Zining remained calm, and did not even move a single eyebrow. Easy to handle.
In a blink of an eye, the city wall was submerged by crowds, and after a group of noble ladies rushed up, they crowded into the front row and looked out, squeezing Dark Fire and the soldiers of the Third Legion into disorganized formations.
The noble ladies looked out excitedly, and saw that the assembled army was actually a human army. The most eye-catching flag looked similar to the expeditionary army flag on the city wall, and everyone was immediately disappointed.
Except for Wei Potian, they went to Yongye Continent, a place where nothing shits a bird, just to observe the dark race. Especially the vampires and demons with outstanding appearance are very popular among the nobles, just like the hobby for the most exquisite dolls.
Immediately, a noble lady was not happy, "Whose army is this outside, it's so ugly, it looks like a beggar."
Another Fang Bo's daughter hesitated and said: "Looking at the emblem of this family, it seems to be the private army of the Dong family in Surabaya."
"The Dong family in Surabaya? It sounds familiar, but what exactly is it?" Most of the ladies looked at a loss. If seeing their reactions at this moment, Dong Qifeng, who has always been proud of his family background, might just vomit blood and die.
The oldest of this group of noble girls is no more than twenty years old, and they are all the daughters of princes. Most of them in the social circle are from high-ranking families, and even middle-ranking ones are rare. For example, Dong's from Surabaya, who are at the lower end of the middle class and have the risk of being downgraded, are usually out of reach, so it's not surprising that they can't remember them for a while.
Finally, someone who responded normally asked, "What are they doing, are they going to attack us?"
"You can tell by looking at it!"
Not only did the noble ladies show no signs of fear, but all of them had bright eyes. They are the first daughters of aristocratic families, of course they all cultivate, and the force level is not low, but they have almost no actual combat experience, let alone face a war directly.
At this moment, Dong Qifeng's troops were finally reorganized and began to move towards Heiliu City.
However, the huge group of floating airships did not move with the army as originally planned to provide fire cover. The main reason is the light frigate above Heiliu City. In front of real warships, once an air battle occurs, cargo airships with little defense are huge living targets.
"General, the distance is almost there, attack?"
The reminder from the colonel's deputy woke Dong Qifeng up from his contemplation. He rubbed his hands anxiously and said, "Shout to surrender first!"
The airship was suddenly busy, the huge loudspeaker was set up, and the technical officer filled the black crystal to activate the force array. A moment later, a resounding voice resounded over the entire Heiliu City.
"People of Heiliu City, listen, under the order of General Dong Qifeng, the commander of the Seventh Division of the Expeditionary Army, I order you to surrender immediately! Repeat, surrender immediately! You have three minutes to think about it. If you continue to resist, after breaking the city, all rebels will be on the spot Put to death, the people in the city will be reduced to slaves, and the women will be turned into military prostitutes!"
This way of dealing with defeated cities is not uncommon. Even the civil war of the empire is not very kind, and the rival camps will be even more cruel. However, Dong Qifeng would never have imagined that this routine call before the war would cause an uproar in Heiliu City.
Wei Potian still had a stern and majestic face, Song Zining smiled more and more warmly, but Zhang Zizi sighed and couldn't help saying: "This idiot!"
Qianye smiled slightly and declined to comment.
However, the aristocratic family's noble daughters exploded, and the eldest ladies are fine. When Wei Shizi is present, one must pay attention to noble demeanor. The maids didn't care so much, they were all flushed with anger, jumping and cursing, judging by the fierce attitude, it seemed that insulting their young lady was more serious than insulting them ten or eight times.
In fact, it is difficult for those noble girls to be very calm. Ever since they were young, have they ever been threatened to be sold as military prostitutes
"How dare he?"
"Sishui? What is the title of Sishui? How dare a small county uncle be so arrogant? You must ask your father to kill him!"
"General Zhang, where is General Zhang? What about the Imperial Legion, why haven't they dispatched yet?"
Amidst the uproar, Zhang Zizi suddenly approached Qianye, lowered his voice, and said, "The Third Legion is not that easy to use. If you want to play with fire, be careful not to burn your hands."
Qianye said indifferently: "The general is still playing with fire if he doesn't move."
On the city wall, the clamor became louder and louder. The ladies were just talking, but some of their maid attendants had already drawn their weapons, and some were about to run down to summon the guards.
The corners of Zhang Zizi's eyes twitched slightly, "Very well, this is the first time I've met a mercenary who dared to talk to me like that. I won't bully you either. I'll come to you after you break through to become a general."
"If the general is interested, don't wait, just finish this battle."
Instead of being angry, Zhang Zizi smiled, "Young people, don't be too ignorant!"
He is an eleventh-level general, but he can wear the rank of major general not because of his surname, but because of his solid military achievements. Ordinary warriors can't last long under his command, let alone a ninth-level mercenary like Qianye who is good at sniping.
Qianye smiled softly, his clear pupils glowed brightly, "People like us who walk on the edge of the blade all the time, don't always have the luck to face enemies weaker than ourselves." He is really interested in fighting a match by himself, Qianye really wants to know how far there is between himself and those warriors who have come out of the sea of swords and flames.
It's a pity that this young general didn't seem to be able to understand Qianye's thoughts. The veins in Zhang Zi's neck were throbbing, and he was too angry to speak. He turned around abruptly, called the adjutant, and shouted: "Order! Third! All the troops of the legion immediately deployed in a battle array, and prepared for heavy artillery fire. The entire squadron is launched into the air!"
Obviously, Zhang Zi was full of anger and directly directed his anger on Dong Qifeng.
Song Zining had been listening for a while, and quietly exchanged glances with Qianye, shrugged and spread his hands. Zhang Zizi actually let all the squadrons go into the air, and it seems that they have nothing to do with them.
At this moment, the three-minute time limit has expired, and Dong Qifeng ordered: "The whole army is attacking! Prepare for heavy artillery fire!"
With the sound of the passionate bugle, Dong Jia's private army formed a skirmish line and rushed towards Heiliu City like a tide. As long as they get close to a certain distance, the master fighters mixed in with the ordinary soldiers will suddenly launch an attack and seize the commanding heights of the city wall.
Dong Qifeng floated in the air, looking coldly at Heiliu City in front of him, there was a large section of the city wall crowded with black heads, the queue was extremely messy, I really don't know what kind of formation it was.
At this moment, Dong Qifeng felt that his irritability just now was unnecessary. Even if Dark Fire had a frigate, so what, a mob is a mob, and even if you have good equipment, it won't work. At this time, two warrior elders were standing around him, and the appearance of three warriors would deal a heavy blow to the morale of the defenders of Heiliu City.
With an army of one division and three strong generals, it is unbelievable that a small Heiliu City cannot be taken down!
It was the heavy artillery of Dong Jia's private army that kicked off the battle. Several heavy cannons were aimed at the city gate, and amidst the roar, the shells whizzed down on the city tower!
A voice suddenly rang in the ears of everyone on the battlefield: "If you dare to shoot at my mother, you are courting death!"
