Views:

Meng Yu, who possesses shadow walking and a combat power comparable to that of an intermediate swordsman, is a bug-like existence in this scout war. Coupled with Lu An's long-awaited preparations, the plot of the general of the Tianling Empire to conquer the West is doomed. It is impossible to succeed.

Just two days ago, Lu An learned of the critical military situation of Jackdaw City. The 50,000 cavalry left in Jackdaw City also fought to the last man in the battle five days ago. Of course, the cavalry of the Tianling Empire also did the same. Can no longer form combat power.

However, when one hundred thousand new troops suddenly appeared in the Tianling Empire army on the attacking side, the balance of victory finally began to tilt slowly.

Although Jackdaw City claims to be indestructible, there is no such thing as an indestructible city in this world. Isn't the Broken Blade City, once known as the Heavenly Moat, also one day becoming ruins

One side is determined to attack the city, and the other is determined to defend the city. Both sides are paying for their lives. Even if the defending side has the upper hand, when the difference in numbers reaches a certain level, that advantage is not enough for Lei Nuo The Empire successfully defended Jackdaw.

When Lu An got the news, he was not too surprised. Because of this news, Meng Yu would doubt whether Lu An's judgment was correct, whether the opponent's deadly attack on Gourd's mouth was just a cover, and the final breakthrough was Jackdaw City.

But Lu An won't, in fact, even he doubts it, at this time he has no way out, Jackcrow City and Hulukou are five days away, even if he sends those 50,000 cavalry over at this time, I'm afraid It may not be possible to catch up.

Because it would take three days to spread the news from Jackdaw City to Calabashkou.

"General, from the siege of the city these days, we can see that those guys defending the city of Renault Empire are already exhausted. If they really have any conspiracy, don't they have to wait for us to break through the gourd mouth? Do you want to use it again?"

"If we don't go all out to take down Gourdkou at this time, do we have to wait for Chang Wenguang and the others to take down Jackdaw City before we attack with all our strength?"

Ignoring the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, the old man known as General Zhengxi still looked at the topographic map in front of him calmly. He also received the good news from Jackdaw City. credit.

It seems that the situation is going well, but he always has a feeling of uneasiness.

He does not reject the behavior of his subordinates competing for military exploits. When he was young, he was the same as them. After all, he took the Gourd Kou before the Jackdaw City was broken, or took the Gourd Kok after the Jackdaw City was broken. These are two completely different concepts.

Even, the best situation is to take down the gourd mouth, and then attack the Jackdaw City by surprise. In this way, they will become the great heroes of the Tianling Empire.

Rubbing his frowning brows, military exploits are not that important to an old man like him who has almost reached the peak of power, but these people have followed him for more than ten years or even decades , he doesn't need to think about himself, but what about them

The old man seemed to be fighting the devil in his heart, and the next voice was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"General, the youngsters under him have been holding back for more than half a month. They are all clamoring to get off their horses and attack the city like infantry."

The same is cavalry, the cavalry of Jackdaw City has only dozens of people left, and they have been sitting behind the army to watch the show for more than half a month, how can they bear it, the bloodiness of soldiers makes them unable Tolerate yourself with this behavior.

Just like the principle that the same sex repels each other, the two cavalry were originally in a competitive relationship. If they returned to the Tianling Empire without even going to the battlefield, don't say that they couldn't hold their heads up in front of each other, even if they were themselves, will despise themselves.

Thinking of the 50,000 cavalry behind him, the old man finally felt more confident. As long as there are 50,000 cavalry guarding behind him, even if the missing 50,000 cavalry of the Reynolds Empire are really ambushing at the mouth of the gourd, it will not be too late. What to worry about.

"Pass down the order and attack with all your strength. I want to watch tomorrow's sunrise on the city wall of Hulukou. If I can't do it, don't say I'm going to be promoted to nobility. It's my kindness to keep your current hats."

The old man has finally made up his mind. In fact, at this point, there is not much room for manoeuvre. In this case, it is better to sink the boat and fight with one's back.

Looking at the sparse guarding soldiers on the city wall, Lu An knew that it was time for a storm to come.

When there were less than 150,000 soldiers left in Tianling Empire, wave after wave, they poured into the mouth of the gourd like a never-tiring tide, and it was also the left side of the Renault Empire who had been ambushing outside the mouth of the gourd for more than half a month. When the cavalry rushed over with the force of thunder.

All of this did not go beyond the expectations of the old man known as the Great General Zhengxi, so the Tianling Empire, which had been gearing up for a long time, also greeted it aggressively, like two sharp knives, without any hindrance. Hit hard together.

Blood splattered, flesh and blood flew everywhere, war horses wailed, and there were corpses trampled into muddy flesh on the ground.

In the end, it was the cavalry of the Tianling Empire that was even better, and even pierced through the thick cavalry formation of the Reynolds Empire. Although the cavalry of the Reynolds Empire was also of excellent quality, after the two armies intersected, they quickly gathered the remaining forces and formed an array. , Turn around and charge.

But in that drill just now, the Renault Empire lost more than a thousand people more than the Tianling Empire. The victory is already decided. This was the first thought of the old man when he saw this situation. He smiled smugly When I got up, the stone in my heart was finally let go.

However, when Chen Hui led 30,000 Renault Empire vanguard cavalry who appeared from nowhere and passed through the middle of the Tianling Empire cavalry formation, the overall situation was already settled.

The old man who just showed a smile seemed to have aged several decades in an instant, and sat down on the spot slumped.

Three days later, the news of Hulukou's victory spread throughout the continent, not because of the impact of this battle on the situation in the continent, nor because it successfully stopped the wolfish ambitions of the Tianling Empire.

It's just because none of the 300,000 siege infantry and 50,000 cavalry of the Tianling Empire escaped, and the 150,000 infantry of the Renault Empire that originally defended the city, and the later 80,000 cavalry, are also very few. The entire mouth of the gourd is almost filled with corpses. The scene, I am afraid the end of the world, is nothing more than this.

Even the General Zhengxi, who was in charge of the Tianling Empire's attack on the Renault Empire this time, also fell at the mouth of the gourd.

Of course, Jackdaw City was not spared. On the day of Hulukou's great victory, Jackdaw City was breached. However, the Tianling Empire also suffered heavy losses. Not one out of ten of the 300,000 infantry who attacked the city survived. There are less than 30,000 left.

No matter how confident the people of Tianling Empire are, they would not think that they can take down the Renault Empire with these 30,000 people. Unfortunately, they are waiting to join the Hulukou army and take down the Renault Empire in one fell swoop. directly shattered.

In this war, the Tianling Empire obviously won, a miserable victory. However, the Tianling Empire, whose main army was completely killed and injured, has no strength to expand the results of the battle.

When Tianlinghuang heard the news, he wanted to smash the guy who ordered him to attack the Renault Empire at all costs, but he couldn't, no matter whether it was strength or power, he couldn't do it, he could only cry helplessly. tears.

What made him want to cry even more was that even under such circumstances, the orders he received still remained unchanged.

If it was a year ago, the Lei Nuo Tianling Empire, which suffered from both sides, would have been waiting for the Molin Empire to reap the benefits. Perhaps, the Molin Empire could really dominate the mainland with this.

It's a pity that the upheaval in Molin City caused Zhang Nan to consume nearly half of the Molin Empire's troops by himself. The Molin Empire, which has tigers outside and wolves inside, also dare not act rashly.

The mainland, which was originally a puddle of muddy water, has actually ushered in a rare period of tranquility. However, this tranquility, everyone knows, is just the tranquility before the storm.

But all of this has nothing to do with Meng Yu, Uncle Ye is alive, and Lu An is alive.

On top of that, he has other things to worry about...
