Chapter 12 , wolf smoke down

Dusk is always the most beautiful time in the Atlandis Plain. The gorgeous remnant sun will not sink, reflecting the sunset glow, like mountain flowers, like rhododendrons, like the red leaves of mountains in late autumn. But at this moment, it fell into Donnie's eyes, but it was like the blood of the sky, the blood of the enemy! This feeling made him very excited, just like a newcomer on the battlefield.

"Marshal! The news came from the former army that tens of thousands of cavalry in Dongxuan were found in front of them. The striker has stopped and is waiting for your further instructions!" The news brought by the messenger stunned Donnie and puzzled for a moment. It is still more than 20 miles away from Desai City. Why did Dongxuan people abandon the city to welcome him? It is undoubtedly a pebble to block its armored army by riding lightly! With doubts, Donnie immediately came to the former army and saw tens of thousands of Dongxuan knights lined up hundreds of feet ahead, blocking the way of the Iron Armored Army. Donnie looked at it for a moment and roughly estimated that the number of soldiers and horses of the other party was only about 30,000. He immediately guessed the other party's intention: this was to block the most elite iron armored army in the empire with a few soldiers and horses to cover the main force from breaking through from the other two directions!

"Go on with the order and get ready to charge immediately!" Thinking of this, Downey immediately gave the order to prepare for the battle. He wanted to bite the main force of the other party tightly. A staff member whispered, "Marshal, we are already exhausted. Shall we take a little rest before planning?"

"I can't wait!" Downey said decisively, "The Dongxuan cavalry comes and goes like the wind. If they break out in the other two directions, I'm afraid that Marshal Brian or General Macley may not be able to stop it. We must first defeat the small suspects in front of us, then bite the main force of the other side tightly and never give it any chance to escape.

After saying that, he waved to a general, who immediately made a gesture to the back. Seeing the gesture, the horn immediately sounded, and the low and thick horn of the giant horn immediately resounded throughout the battlefield. The strikers of the Ironclad Army flattened their spears and were ready to charge. The Chinese army responsible for covering picked up the long bow with a very long range and slowly approached the enemy with the striker.

The Dongxuan cavalry opposite also held their bows and arrows and pointed to the position of the armored army from afar, trying to slightly slow down the progress of the armored army with bows and arrows. Donnie curled his lips contemptuously and finally made a gesture of "charge" to the messenger. Immediately, the low horn suddenly became loud and clear, which made people feel refreshed. The vanguard of the 30,000 armored army made an earth-shaking shout and began to speed up to the Dongxuan cavalry. Thousands of horses are galloping, and the wind is fast! The rising yellow dust covers the sky and the sun!

After entering the range of the bow and arrow, the arrow feathers in the hands of the Dongxuan cavalry finally flew over and fell into the iron armored cavalry, but most of the long arrows were bounced away by the iron armor on the rider's body. Only a few arrowheads happened to hit the part of the horse without leather armor, causing it suddenly losing its hoof and falling down the rider on the saddle. The rear team of the Iron Armor Army, which was responsible for covering, immediately fired arrows to fight back. With the trembling of the bowstrings, countless arrowheads flew to the enemy array with a light roar of tearing air. At this distance, these arrowheads could easily shoot through the leather armor on the Dongxuan light cavalry. In a blink of an eye, Dongxuan cavalry left 100 bodies.

"Kill--" When the striker rushed more than ten feet away from the other party, he burst into a more crazy roar, and the angry hunting beast roared. Dongxuan cavalry put away their bows and arrows, held knives and guns one after another, and put on a fight to the death, but they used leather armored light cavalry to hit the iron armor army, which was undoubtedly hitting stones with eggs.

The wedge-shaped sharp edge of the armored army plunged into the battle array of the Dongxuan cavalry and immediately broke a gap in the opponent's formation. The two armies were immediately hanged together. It was difficult to cut open and pierce the armor of the armor of the armor army of the Dongxuan cavalry, while the spear of the armored army was easy to use the momentum. Piercing the other party's leather armor. In this way, the iron armored army galloped freely in the enemy's array, and there was no disadvantage. As soon as Downey saw that the striker had bitten the other party, he immediately let the Chinese army surround him from the left and right wings, intending to annihilate the 30,000 Dongxuan light horse in one fell swoop.

The horn sounded again, and 50,000 armored troops were divided into two ways and surrounded the battlefield from both wings. The horn of withdrawing troops suddenly sounded in Dongxuan's cavalry team, and the riders who had been struggling to support immediately left their opponents and companions and retreated one after another. After losing their fighting spirit, more than 20,000 knights suddenly fled desperately to the rear without formation.

"Cue up! You can't let this enemy escape!" Finally, there was a chance to bite the other party. Donnie immediately gave the order to pursue despite the late weather. 100,000 armored troops pursued the enemy closely and began to tighten their encirclement.

"Dongxuan, a light cavalry brigade, was found in front of us, and the number of people was about 60,000 to 70,000!" The latest intelligence of the reconnaissance made Downey excited. With his 100,000 armored elite, he could also destroy the intruder in one fell swoop without the assistance of Brian and Macley. Downey did not want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and immediately urged the troops to step up the pursuit.

The sky has long been hazy. The striker of the Iron Armor Army finally caught up with the other party's brigade. Dongxuan rode lightly and retreated, gradually leading the Iron Armor Army to his own ambush.

"Stop! What's going on?" Noticing that the speed of the armored army suddenly slowed down, and the pace of his horse became more and more difficult. With one foot, he was about to fall half a foot deep into the ground, and Downey finally gave the order to stop the pursuit. A general hurriedly reported: "Marshal, this is a paddy field that has dried up due to drought. It looks no different from other places, but it is full of undried mud below. The former army has fallen into the mud and it is very difficult to move."

It was late, and the iron armored army did not notice any difference in the ground under their feet. They rushed into the mud and found that the war horse was gradually falling into the mud and could no longer run fast, and it was even difficult to move. However, the light riding of Dongxuan people is much lighter due to its importance, so the mud has little impact on them.

"Withdraw! Hurry back!" Downey instinctively knew that this was a trap and that he had fallen in, but he still thought that with the protective ability of the armored army, even if he lost mobility, Dongxuan's light riding could not pose a threat to himself. Since the sky had already darkened and it was blurred ten feet away, he could not see that hundreds of simple catapults had been set up less than 50 feet away from the Iron Armored Army, waiting for the order of the King. These catapults were made by the King of Lie, who recruited the people in the city overnight after capturing the city, waiting to play the effect of its strange soldiers tonight.

Looking at the dark night in front of him, he imagined the iron armor elite of the Great Western Empire that fell into the mud, and a satisfied smile finally appeared on Lin Xiaoyu's face. Hodore's intelligence shows that Brian and Macley's troops are still a hundred miles away, and they have enough time to calmly solve the most elite armored cavalry in the 100,000 Western Empire.

"King, order!" A general responsible for commanding the catapult rubbed his hands anxiously. The excitement before the war made him lose his calm, and unexpectedly urged the fierce king to come regardless of his superiority and inferiority. However, thelie wang had no intention of care about such small things. He only nodded slowly and finally pointed to the front of the night: "launch!"

Hundreds of catapults were shot at the same time, throwing black and bulging cowhide bags to the Iron Armor Army. These cowhide bags have been prepared for many years and are specially prepared for the Armored Army. A few years ago, after studying the battle cases of the Iron Armor Army, Lin Xiaoyu began to prepare these cowhide bags, which finally came in handy until today!

The black cowhide bag fell from the sky and kept hitting the trapped iron armor army. It fell to the ground and immediately cracked. The ** inside kept splashing out, and the air suddenly filled with a strong smell of wine. A few points even splashed on Donnie's face. He couldn't help touching it, and then came to his nose to smell it. Suddenly, it was cold all over. That was him. Very familiar taste.

"It's a strong wine! It's all liquor!" Donnie's face was earthy, and he finally understood the intention of his opponent.

"Fight arrows!" Under the order of the martyr king, tens of thousands of arrows with flames flew like a meteor shower all over the sky to the trapped iron armored army. The meteor fell to the ground, and the strong wine saw that the fire was burning and burst into flames. The earth suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and the firelight instantly lit up the air. In the flames, people howled like purgatory in the world. At this moment, the fierce king's solemn and cold face finally showed a satisfied smile.

The iron armored soldiers rolled down from the horse one after another, but immediately fell into the mud. The heavy iron armor and knee-deep mud made it difficult for the iron armored soldiers to walk. I wanted to untie the iron armor to escape, but when this kind of iron armor was designed to prevent soldiers from abandoning the armor, so they had to have the help of others whether they put it on or untied it. The iron armored soldiers only cried in the sea of fire and had no way to escape in the face of death.

The cowhide bag full of spirits is still ejected, falling on the place where the fire has not yet started or the fire is slightly weak, immediately turning it into a new sea of fire. A few iron armored soldiers who were lucky enough not to be trapped in the mud to protect their commander and began to flee to the way. On the way, they met a 20,000-year-old Dongxuan light rider. Their hands were not a long spear and knife commonly used by cavalry, but a heavy long-handled wolf tooth stick. This is the elite jockey that the King has been carefully trained to deal with the armor army for many years. Even the strong iron armor can be broken with a heavy mace!

After losing most of the people and horses, Downey finally escaped the pursuit of Dongxuan's wolf-tooth jockey and retreated hundreds of miles overnight. After staying away from the battle, he was slightly shocked. Looking at the soldiers around him, 100,000 of the most elite iron armored army in the West, only less than 5,000 people followed him to escape from the sea of fire. Donnie couldn't help but feel ashamed to see Marshal Bryan and General Macley, who had always been at peace with him. He had to bind himself and escort him back to Poseidon to plead guilty to the Empress Dowager and the Senate.

"Your Highness, our army won a complete victory, and Downey led the remnants to escape." The generals from all walks of life returned one after another, and the results were better than they expected. Although it was a great regret to fail to kill a marshal of the Western Empire, Lin Xiaoyu, the martyr, had no intention to know such a small thing, and the battle had just begun in his mind.

"Go down the order, clean up the battlefield, rest for an hour, and then attack Macley's 120,000 mixed corps!" The king's guide, where Macley's army was less than a hundred miles away from the city of Dessai.

The fire in the direction of Desi reflected more than half of the sky, and it can be clearly seen even dozens of miles away. That should be an earth-shaking fire, right? With a cold face, Macley gloated. Thinking that the arrogant Downey was finally going to learn a lesson, Macley wanted to see the embarrassed expression on his face at this moment. He did not take Downey's defeat seriously. In his mind, the Dongxuan invaders were just fleeing bandits, which was not enough to pose any threat to his 120,000 imperial army. However, he, who has always been cautious, stopped the troops from moving forward. Now it is dark and there is a thick fog in the wilderness. It's really not the time to rush into the army. Let Donnie live and die.

120,000 troops began to camp in place, and Macley also sent several reconnaissance teams to the battlefield dozens of miles away. He really wanted to know the details of the battle to decide his next move.

Report! General, many armored soldiers were found in front of us, and they were rushing here. The news brought by the messenger did not surprise Macley. After such a war, there were always many defeated soldiers fleeing for their lives.

"Let them come over, prepare food and medicine for them, and arrange for them to rest in the back camp!" Now is the time to buy the hearts of armored soldiers, and Macley is willing to give the defeated soldiers the necessary help to win his people's hearts and reputation in the imperial army.

I don't know how many armored soldiers came in the thick fog. The soldiers guarding the camp had no time to investigate carefully. They hurriedly opened the fence for them and gave them the passage to the camp. The undressed armored soldiers had no intention of slowing down at all and rushed in, frightening several guards who wanted to stop them from careful investigation.

"What is the defeated general still doing so arrogantly?" Several guards shouted dissatisfiedly, but saw that the armor-faced friendly soldiers turned a deaf ear to their scolding. They only calmly untied a bulging cowhide bag from the saddle, then cut it with a knife, and kept spilling the ** inside on the camp tent and food and grass. The strong smell of wine immediately permeated the camp.

"What are you doing?" Many soldiers saw something strange and hurriedly scolded loudly to stop it. The masked iron-clad warriors' scolding them stopped them from hearing, but took out paper flaing stones from their arms and instantly ignited the tents poured with wine, and the camp suddenly burst into flames.

"Dongxuan people! They are Dongxuan spies!" The soldiers shouted in horror, and the knights in the iron armor of the imperial army suddenly galloped through the barracks and set fire while galling, which immediately caused great chaos and panic in the camp. Due to the thick fog at night, it is impossible to see how many people there are on the other side, and the imperial army cannot organize people to effectively block and surround them.

The firelight caused greater panic in the camp, and only heard the soldiers shouting in unison and sending the panic to every corner of the camp. Outside the camp, tens of thousands of Dongxuan rode as if they were emerging from the thick fog, and cooperated with the fake armored army galloping in the camp, and broke through the camp of Macley's army in a moment. The imperial army completely panicked.

"Marshal Downey died in battle! General Markli has been captured!" Those fake armored army kept spreading all kinds of rumors in the camp, which made people unable to distinguish between true and false. The half-true and half-false rumors made 120,000 imperial soldiers panic and had no intention of fighting at all. Under the several raids of tens of thousands of Dongxuan cavalry, they finally became completely chaotic. Some people began to flee the way. As soon as the wind opened, more and more soldiers fled. Macley and his guards could not stop them at all. Instead, they were wrapped in the army and fled the way. After escaping hundreds of miles this night, he finally got rid of the entanglement of Dongxuan jockey.

"The order to stop the army!" When Lin Xiaoyu saw that Macley's 120,000 army had been defeated and fled and became a frightened bird, he had no intention of entangling with it any more. As for Brian's 140,000 steps, due to the slow speed, there is no threat to Dongxuan's light riding now. At this time, the Lie King's vision has crossed the current battlefield and turned to a new goal. In the battalion of the Chinese army, under repeated questioning by his generals, the martyr king finally pointed to the city marked with cinnabar at the end of the map and said proudly to the generals: "The next goal of the army will be the holy land Sun City in the eyes of our Dongxuan people, that is, the capital of the Great Western Empire - Poseidon!"

When the news that Downey's 100,000 armored army was almost completely destroyed and the destruction of Macley's 120,000 imperial army was transmitted to the front line of the Western Expedition, the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army, McRae, was preparing to send a large army across the Great Montenegro to search for the whereabouts of Bayan, the son of the Emma witch and the Montenegrin chief. Facing the emergency flying feather biography from Poseidon in his hand, the marshal of the imperial Western Expeditionary Army turned pale and couldn't speak for a long time.

"What's going on?" Noting McRae's abnormality, Paras, who stood behind him, couldn't help asking in a low voice. After a long time, McRae gritted his teeth and scolded: "Downney, a fool, the most elite iron armored army of 100,000 empire was almost completely destroyed, and Macley's 120,000 troops were easily defeated, and the empire is now almost unarmed! Lin Xiaoyu, the martyr of Dongxuan, forced Poseidong, and the imperial capital is already in danger!"

Paras jumped at the top of his eyebrows. He really didn't expect that the 100,000 light riders of Dongxuan could set off such a big storm in the empire, forcing Poseidon, the capital of the empire. Somehow, he suddenly felt a little worried about the beautiful queen in the imperial palace.

"It seems that we can only go back to the teacher to rescue the imperial capital. I hope it's not too late." McRae didn't notice Pallas's expression. He only looked at the direction of the Great Black Mountain and muttered unwillingly. He muttered and punched the map hatefully. Obviously, he was very angry with this half-way Western Expedition.

"Marshal, please give me a fine soldier," Pallas suddenly stepped forward and raised his head and said to McRae, "Let me stay and search for the whereabouts of the 'black totem'."

McRae tilted his head and looked at Pallas for a moment and asked with great interest, "How many people do you want?"

Para thought, "There are not many soldiers. It's enough to give me 10,000 elite jockeys."

"10,000?" McRae was stunned and laughed, "The Heluo department in the north and the wind department in the south add up to more than 100,000 people. Do you want to defeat them with 10,000 imperial troops? Although the combat effectiveness of the imperial army far exceeds that of the Sam, it is far from enough to fight against ten.

"Marshal, if war is a simple addition and subtraction, then all the generals should go home to take their children." Pallas said calmly in McRae's laughter, "Give me 10,000 elite jockeys, and I will bring back the 'black totem' for the empire with the reputation of the family and my title!"

Parath's calmness made McRae stop laughing and stare deeply at the first warrior of the empire. McRae finally nodded: "I see confidence in your eyes, okay! I now appoint you as the commander of the imperial army and allocate 10,000 of the most elite cavalry to you. I believe you can surprise the empire!"

Parath leaned on his heels and said proudly, "I will live up to your trust!"

That night, under the cover of night, the Western Expeditionary Army began to retreat from the Black Wind City and slowly retreated to the east. Paras, the newly appointed imperial jockey, looked at the distant army, and then looked back at the 10,000 soldiers behind him who were far away from their homeland. I couldn't help saying in my heart: Now the imperial army is at an absolute disadvantage. In this vast and desolate desert, no one can rely on except this 10,000 imperial cavalry. To find the "black totem", you have to rely entirely on yourself!
