Chapter 1115 General Protecting the Country

As night fell, a majestic city appeared in the field of vision.

Wannan City, the capital of Lingnan Province, has always been known as the most fertile city in the south of the empire, the northern granary of the entire human race, but now the battle flags of the Daxiang Dynasty are planted all over the city walls, which seems out of place.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk~~"

Amid the sound of horseshoes, someone from the Knights Templar marching next to the Flowing Fire Legion came over. There were more than a dozen knights in total. There are three golden general stars, and on the chest armor is the emblem of the head of the Knights Templar. It is Sikong Hai, the man in charge of the temple and the highest authority of the Knights Templar.

I was a little flattered. Although the status of the Liuhuo Legion in the first-class regiment is not weaker than that of the Knights Templar, and even vaguely surpasses it, after all, Sikong Hai is an "old senior" in the court. It's really unreasonable for the rookie to bother him to make this trip himself, and I have a good impression of Sikong Hai and Sikong Yu, father and son of the Knights Templar. And never ambiguous.

"Master July Fire!"

Sikong Hai cupped his fists and said, "I've come here to tell you some very important news."

"oh?"

I hastily cupped my fists: "Sir Sikong Hai, if there is anything wrong, just ask your subordinates to come over and let me know. Actually, you don't have to come in person."

He smiled slightly: "It's about military secrets, so I really have to come."

"Please tell me."

"Um."

Sikong Hai nodded, and said: "Not long ago, we received the feather letter from Wannan City on the battlefield. It came from the Governor's Mansion in Wannan City. It was written by His Royal Highness King Ming Yang himself, and his subordinates risked their lives to intercept it. The carrier pigeons in the hands of the rebels were sent out."

I frowned: "Xuanyuanyi is still in Wannan City?"

"Yes."

Sikong Hai said in a deep voice: "The rebellion started quite suddenly. On the night they decided to attack, the major southern clans took advantage of the southern temple fair and led their troops into Wannan City. On the night of the temple fair, they besieged the governor's mansion. However, King Ming Yang could only bring more than 10,000 elites of his own to guard the Governor's Mansion. The city defense army in the city had long been controlled by the various clans. There are less than 3,000 people left."

I smiled faintly: "After the battle of Red Crab Forest, we wiped out almost all the elite rebels, so there will definitely not be too many troops defending Wannan City. This is an opportunity, right?"

"Exactly!"

Sikong Hai laughed loudly and said: "His Royal Highness King Mingyang said in the letter that although the Governor's Mansion only has 3,000 soldiers, they are all real warriors from the south. In addition, the 50,000 city defense troops in the city were also killed by the southern clan. They surrendered after losing the leader, and some mid-level military officers still feel dissatisfied, and even have contact with the governor's mansion, so as long as His Royal Highness King Ming Yang gives an order, the remaining tens of thousands of city defense forces in the city should respond."

"How exactly?" I asked.

Sikong Hai said solemnly: "Just after nightfall today, there will be three torches flickering on the east city gate to believe it. At that time, we will launch an attack, and the city defense army will cooperate with us from inside and outside, and open the city gate to welcome the Fire Legion and the Knights Templar. , the Northern Wilderness Army entered the city, trying to regain Wannan City at the least cost."

"How many troops of the Daxiang Dynasty are there in Wannan City?" I asked.

"Less than one hundred thousand."

"Understood, then act according to His Highness King Ming Yang's plan!"

"Um!"

Sikong Hai nodded with a smile, but said again: "Aren't you worried that this is a trick of the Daxiang Dynasty? In fact, King Ming Yang has already voted for the Daxiang Dynasty. This trick is just to lure us into the game?"

"It doesn't matter."

I waved my hand and said with a smile: "Anyway, it is to attack the city. If it is a trick, we can take advantage of the situation to capture Wannan City. It is better if it is not a trick, so as to reduce losses."

"Um!"

Sikong Hai nodded and smiled: "Then I'll make arrangements."

"No more!"

Watching Sikong Hai go away, the generals of the Liuhuo Legion behind him hesitated to speak. In the end, Zhang Lingyue coughed and said with a smile: "At the beginning, I heard that when the Holy Temple was established in the empire, the strength of the Holy See of the God of Light became stronger and stronger. The stronger you are, even Sikong Hai, the head of the temple, no longer participates in His Majesty's court meeting, and he has a rebellious heart, why now... the subordinates look at this Lord Sikong Hai as if he is a loyal minister?"

"You only see your true heart in times of adversity."

I frowned and said with a smile: "The situation in the south of the Daxiang Dynasty is already in dire straits. If Sikong Hai was a treacherous minister, he would never lead the Knights Templar to the southern battlefield with all his strength. Instead, he might sit back and watch the changes. So from this battle, it is enough that Sikong Hai is not a traitor at least."

"My lord said so."

"Let's arrange it. The whole army advances to the city and stands by. Once there is a signal from the city, immediately dispatch the main force of the 10,000-day cavalry battalion to rush into the city to meet the army of King Ming Yang of the Governor's Mansion."

Qin Zhan was taken aback for a moment: "If... what if it's a trap, my lord, what should the brothers of Wantian Qiying do?"

"Then attack the city with all your strength and meet them."

"yes!"

...

Looking at Qin Zhan's back, I felt for the first time that the principle of "kindness does not control soldiers" is so true. If it is really a game, then most of the 10,000 Tianqi Battalion will never return. For me as a commander, this is the price to pay. The loss of 10,000 people in the Liuhuo Legion with more than 200,000 troops has little effect. It is enough to replenish the troops afterwards and reorganize the organizational system. But for Qin Zhan, that may be Ten thousand brothers died.

As a general, cherishing the lives of soldiers is completely different from daring to give it a go.

Lin Xi, Shen Mingxuan, and Gu Ruyi were also on the sidelines. They didn't go offline to eat lunch, but stayed with me. After all, our breakfast and lunch were actually quite rich.

After about half an hour.

It's completely dark between heaven and earth. The lights on Wannan City are brightly lit, and the guards light up the torches one by one, but we have to look for signals from these densely packed torches, so everyone's eyes are round, their faces are almost green, and we don't know. After a long time, suddenly there were three torches flickering left and right on the gate tower, and then, the sound of fighting came from inside the city.

"here we go."

I waved my hand lightly: "Qin Zhan, order the Ten Thousand Heavens Cavalry to enter the city gate and take back Wannan City."

"Yes, my lord!"

Amidst the sound of horseshoes, ten thousand iron cavalry rushed away like a tide, while I was still staring at the direction of the city, frowning and thinking about things, such as what to do after the city was taken down, how many defenders were left behind, and which troops to take to Lujiaoguan to follow Yun The armies of Xixing Province will gather together and try to break through the border and advance southward. These are all things that need to be considered. Since you want to do something big, you must naturally consider it carefully.

Not long after, with the creaking sound, the city gate opened, and everyone in the Tianqi camp rushed into the city in an instant, and I waved my hand again: "Zhang Lingyue, lead the whole army to attack the city, regardless of the tens of thousands of Tianqi camp Whether people can succeed, we are all ready to attack the city, and after entering the city for a while, the rebels and the army of the Daxiang Dynasty will all be killed without leaving a single one."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Lingyue raised his eyebrows, and immediately led someone up.

Lin Xi asked beside me: "Where are we players, are we going to watch a movie this time?"

"How come, let's go to the city together and have a good time!"

"oh oh!"

She squinted her beautiful eyes happily, and said with a smile: "Then can I take my hxdm and start charging now?"

My head was full of black lines: "Okay!"

Therefore, Lin Xi raised his sword and said with a smile: "Yilu, let's go into the city together, the time has come to kill you!"

Everyone rushed over one after another, and I was among the crowd. If I can earn one more point, I will definitely not suffer any disadvantages. Moreover, the player ranked first in this event seems to be a treasure of Guixu level, almost already It's in my pocket. I was tired of directing the battle, but when I think of the treasure of the ruins, my heart is still full of joy.

...

Under the city, the east gate has never been closed, and there is a lot of fighting in the city, which also dispels my doubts. It is indeed not a game. King Ming Yang led the army to "revolt" from the city, which really saved us a lot of trouble Otherwise, it will take a lot of trouble to storm Wannan City, and the Liuhuo Legion will also suffer huge losses, and unnecessary losses.

In the city, the 50,000 city defense troops have all "rebelled" again, and each of them has a blue cloth strip tied on their left arm. Legion, Templar Knights, Northern Wilderness Legion, and player teams continued to pour in, and the situation of the 100,000 Daxiang Dynasty army seemed quite pitiful.

In addition, there are also enemy troops that come from clans. They cannot even be described as troops. They are all private troops raised by the clans themselves. They do not have standard armor and weapons. They are like a group of casual cultivators. Clothes and weapons are completely different, some with swords and some with bows, in a mess, just crowded in the streets to contend with the sharp soldiers of the Tianqi battalion entering the city.

In the distance of the city, torches were swarming, and iron cavalry were rushing to kill. One of them was wearing a golden armor and an emblem that only a member of the royal clan was qualified to wear. At this moment, Xuanyuan Yi looked angry, holding a blood-stained long sword in his hand, and shouted at the clan's army: "Zhang family, Li family, Zhao family, Yao family, how can our Xuanyuan family feel sorry for you? Such a riot!"

Immediately, someone in the clan yelled: "Your Highness Mingjian, we don't want to either, we were also coerced!"

"quibble!"

Xuanyuanyi yelled at me in the distance: "Lord Qiyue Liuhuo, please order, these clan rebels will not leave any one behind, and they will be killed without mercy!"

I nodded lightly: "Zhang Lingyue, have you heard King Ming Yang's order? Follow it."

"Yes, my lord!"

Zhang Lingyue smiled happily, and Qin Zhan and Chai Lu behind him were also smiling. The general defended the country and died in a hundred battles. These iron-blooded generals who have come through the wind and rain, with a loyal heart, who would look down on a betrayer?

If you dare to betray, you will die. In fact, I thought so too.
