Chapter 407 Golden Troops, Danyang Warriors (Gold)
The entrance of a cave.
Hundreds of chariots seemed to be arranged in a messy manner, covered with traces of crossbows, arrows, and swords, piled together, showing a scene of a tragic battlefield!
Ten Xianbei soldiers with messy hair, wearing animal skin armor, holding swords in their hands, holding cowhide shields in their hands, carefully entered the chariot area and groped forward!
"Go!"
Suddenly, behind the shattered chariot, several soldiers wearing exquisite gray iron armor and holding golden "strong crossbows" half a person's height appeared.
With the sound of bowstrings, metal arrows broke through the air, like cannonballs falling on these Xianbei people.
One by one, the Xianbei soldiers didn't even have time to react. The small crossbow arrows seemed to contain a huge and powerful impact.
Not only did they accurately hit the vital points of the Xianbei soldiers, but they even drove the bodies into the corners of the chariots next to them, and their heads exploded and blood flowed all over the ground!
"Roar, Han people!"
Only the Xianbei centurion reacted quickly.
"Spiritual Armor" instantly appeared on his body, resisting the first wave of attacks from the opposite side.
A gray light covered the rusty sword in his hand, and he chopped out a sword energy several meters long.
Wherever he passed, the speed of the crossbow arrows slowed down greatly, and when they approached his side, they even lost power and fell to the ground!
However, the Han people's surprise attack had already caused most of the remaining Xianbei soldiers to lose.
"You, damn it!"
The angry Xianbei centurion's messy hair danced wildly, and the sword in his hand exuded a strong murderous intent. He jumped up and pounced on several soldiers like a lion on the grassland.
His strength was at the quasi-supernormal level!
However, just as his figure was flying in the air.
Puff!
Suddenly, a crossbow arrow that was larger than the crossbows in the hands of several soldiers came towards him. The latter's face changed drastically and waved the sword in his hand, trying to resist, but to no avail.
The spiritual-level sword in his hand was not only smashed by the crossbow arrows in an instant, but also exploded like a cannonball under the impact, piercing his body with holes.
After landing, there was no sound.
The body turned into ashes, leaving only a pile of red copper catastrophe beads of different sizes on the ground!
"General!"
Several soldiers spoke with respect on their faces.
"Clean up the battlefield."
The speaker was a young general who looked young but had a resolute face.
On the Han Dynasty style armor he wore, all kinds of swords and shadows revealed that he had experienced an indescribable war!
"What are the casualties!"
"My Lord, this time 32 people died in the battle, about 100 more were seriously injured, and more than 500 more were slightly injured..."
"Only one or two hundred people are left, are there no injuries?..."
The young general had a bit of helplessness on his face.
You know, there are only 5,000 men under his command.
Now, everyone is injured, and some even have two or three injuries!
"The Xianbei have sent out another 50,000 soldiers... Now their total force is 20 times ours..."
A soldier carrying a powerful crossbow said with gritted teeth.
Originally, facing 30,000 Xianbei cavalry, although they were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.
But with the strength of all members who have transformed more than five times, plus the powerful weapons and equipment of the Han Dynasty, they still have the upper hand!
But now the enemy's reinforcements have arrived, and there are several extraordinary generals leading troops, so they have to retreat.
But even if they rely on this cave, use chariots to defend, and limit the large-scale combat of the enemy's cavalry, the next battle situation is really not optimistic!
"Five thousand people, against eighty thousand people, how similar, is the other party deliberately trying to insult this general!"
The young general looked at the Xianbei soldiers who died on the ground and turned into ashes, leaving only some red copper beads, and his expression was a little cold.
Five thousand Han infantry, against eighty thousand barbarian cavalry.
He had fought such a battle once.
At the beginning, I was still a rising star in the army of the Han Dynasty. Relying on the name of my grandfather "Flying General" Li Guang, everyone had to give me some face!
Because I didn't want to be a grain officer, I asked His Majesty to take 5,000 infantrymen out of the pass, wanting to go straight to Huanglong and suppress Huo Qubing, who killed my uncle.
After all, one Han is five Hu!
The Hu people are far behind the Han people in terms of weapons and fighting methods.
In particular, the elite soldiers selected from "Danyang County" are all warriors, talents, and swordsmen in Jingchu.
Although there are no war horses, the personal force is not inferior to the "Han Iron Cavalry" led by Huo Qubing, a relative of the emperor, who went deep into the desert!
Facing the weak Hu people, he was naturally fearless.
With 5,000 infantrymen, he first encountered the 30,000 troops of the Xiongnu Zuoxian King.
He stationed his army between two mountains, using carts as camps to deploy troops, with the front row holding halberds and shields, the back row using bows and crossbows, and beating drums as signals.
At one command, thousands of crossbows were fired at once!
The Xiongnu soldiers fell to the ground, and after the enemy retreated, he led his troops to pursue them, killing thousands of Xiongnu soldiers in one battle.
The Xiongnu Chanyu was shocked and summoned more than 80,000 cavalrymen from the Left and Right Wise Kings to besiege together. His own side had few soldiers, so he could only fight and retreat, and killed thousands of Xiongnu again on the way!
Unfortunately, the infantry lacked mobility, and the soldiers suffered heavy casualties after days of hard fighting.
I led these soldiers out of the pass by myself, so I couldn't abandon the wounded and break out alone, so I took the wounded with me and retreated!
The wounded in three places were carried in carts, the wounded in two places drove the car, and the wounded in one place insisted on fighting!
They encountered various crises on the way and overcame them one by one.
In this way, they fought and retreated, persisted until the seventh day, and killed thousands of Xiongnu soldiers in total.
They even fired crossbows to shoot the Chanyu, almost killing him!
The Xiongnu were afraid and suspected that they were luring the enemy, so they decided to withdraw.
Unexpectedly, there was a traitor in the army. An officer surrendered to the Xiongnu and told them that "the army had no backup and the arrows were exhausted. Only 800 people under Zhuan and Deputy General Han Yannian were in the front of the formation... Forcefully persist."
So the Xiongnu came back and the arrows rained down.
On my side, the last arrows in my hand had been shot out, and the swords had been cut to the edge... There were more than 3,000 soldiers left, so I cut the wheel spokes with my bare hands as weapons and continued to fight the Xiongnu!
Without weapons, even throwing away the axle weights, without food, and persisting for eight days and nights, there was still no reinforcement.
In despair, the deputy general died in battle.
He felt ashamed to go back to see His Majesty, so he surrendered to the Xiongnu.
"Now I think it's better to die in battle..."
Li Ling's face was a little sad.
As a general of the Han Dynasty, even if he died in a hard battle because of the lack of reinforcements, he should not surrender to the barbarians.
Because this not only humiliated his reputation, but also implicated his family!
Especially when His Majesty later sent Gongsun Ao to lead troops deep into the Xiongnu territory to pick him up.
Gongsun Ao returned without success and reported to His Majesty, "I heard from the captives that Li Ling was helping the Chanyu train troops to deal with the Han army, so we couldn't pick him up."
After hearing this, His Majesty sentenced his entire family to clan punishment. His mother, brothers and wife were all killed. Even the scholars in Longxi were ashamed that Li Ling could not die for his loyalty and implicated his family!
However, the person who trained the Xiongnu was "Li Xu" instead of himself.
Li Xu was originally a commander of the Han Dynasty, stationed in Xihou City. He surrendered when the Xiongnu attacked.
The Chanyu treated him with great courtesy and his seat was higher than his own. He hated him for training soldiers for the Xiongnu and causing his family to be killed, so he sent someone to assassinate Li Xu.
Unfortunately, his family was dead.
The infamy for thousands of years is irreversible!
"You are all the real elites of the Han Dynasty. In the absence of reinforcements, each of you is ten times stronger than the other. Your achievements are enough to be promoted to commanders... I, Li Ling, am sorry for you. I made you follow me and suffer the infamy of future generations!"
Li Ling looked at the soldiers around him with an apologetic look on his face.
These men of his were all elites from Danyang County. Each of them could fight a tiger with his bare hands, and the arrows in his hands could accurately hit the eyes and throats of the running Xiongnu!
He was stigmatized because of his surrender, but now he is resurrected in this eternal place.
Originally he wanted to clear his name for himself and them!
But before they could act, the "Gate of Disaster" appeared, and a large number of disaster creatures swept in like a plague of locusts.
Everyone was forced to hide, but they were still discovered by the Xianbei tribe!
In the first battle, they killed more Xianbei people than their own side, and even killed an extraordinary general.
The other side was afraid and did not want to lose too many soldiers and generals, so they tried to "persuade" themselves to surrender with high positions and generous salaries. After being rejected repeatedly.
Now, they actually attacked with 80,000 troops.
Because of his identity, he has not made up his mind to join the human territory and forces.
Now, naturally there is no reinforcement. The "weapons and supplies" that were originally brought when they came have now been consumed by more than half, and it is probably difficult to survive!
"But this time I will never surrender to the barbarians!"
Li Ling's eyes were firm.
The golden crossbow in his hand was raised, and an arrow flew out like a cannonball. When a Xianbei general in the second realm of extraordinary had no time to react, an arrow poured into his throat!
"Kill, kill, kill..."
And they also fought with crossbows at a distance and swords at close range.
There were also soldiers of the Han Dynasty with firm faces, who would fight to the death even in desperate situations!
[Han·Danyang Warriors]
[Grade] Gold soldiers
[Features] can be obtained through training: Killing aliens (greatly increased damage to aliens and non-Huaxia people), strong crossbows (carry crossbows as weapons, and the crossbows have the ability to "kill" when hitting vital points), fighting tigers (extremely powerful, proficient in various combat skills, can fight tigers hand-to-hand and tear hungry wolves apart), fighting to the death (in desperate situations, the fighting will is further increased and the combat effectiveness is greatly enhanced)...
[Skills] can be mastered through training: strong crossbows, swords, horse archery, hand-to-hand combat...
[Explanation] Elite soldiers from the human race from Danyang County, each soldier has powerful crossbow skills, and once fought against the strong with the weak, making the Xiongnu army, which was more than ten times their own, terrified!
Danyang has always been rich in elite soldiers.
The Danyang soldiers, who were able to kill several times more Xiongnu cavalry with 5,000 infantry, were absolutely elite!
Even when facing an enemy 20 times their number, they still fought back and forth, with blood flowing and gathering into a river...
At this time, on the hillside outside the battlefield, a figure was lying in the distance watching the battle, but these Xianbei people did not find any trace of him...
"Catastrophe creatures?"
Shen Lian, who was wearing a flying fish suit, had a somewhat surprised expression on his face.
After receiving the information reported by Murong Fu, Bai Yujing attached great importance to it.
They even summoned senior officials and many foreigners on the spot to discuss sending troops!
But the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the intelligence comes first.
As the earliest territory among the human race to form an "intelligence team", Xia Tian certainly couldn't blindly set out on an expedition just because of Murong Fu's words!
As Sun Tzu said.
Soldiers are the place of life and death, and the path to survival and death must be observed!
Any information obtained may contain errors and needs to be verified.
Otherwise, if you fall into someone else's scheme.
Raising troops and mobilizing a large number of people but returning without success, or even encountering an ambush by the enemy, wouldn't it appear that the human race is incompetent!
Considering this matter, the stakes are very high.
Therefore, Xia Tian directly used the characteristics of the "Emperor's personal army" to send an order to Shen Lian, who was collecting intelligence in the land of catastrophe, to go to the place where Murong Fu said to investigate clearly.
Relying on the characteristics of "Night Walking in Brocade" and his own extraordinary cultivation in the four realms, Shen Lian can act alone even in a land of catastrophe.
During the search, a human army was accidentally discovered!
However, it is not the human race in the eternal land, but the human race in the catastrophic creature.
"What are these catastrophic creatures going to do...well, let me grab my tongue and ask..."
Shen Lian was confused, remembering the information reported by Murong Fu, his eyes fixed on a man who was dismounted, and he hurriedly held his stomach.
The catastrophe soldiers approaching towards their own area!
…
"Xianbei people, Han people!"
After a few breaths, Shen Lian put away the embroidered spring knife in his hand and shook off the blood on it!
Randomly, the Feiyu suit on his body emitted black and white light and transformed into a set of tattered "Xianbei Leather Armor"
This Feiyu suit is a "spiritual weapon" level item specially manufactured by Pan Jinlian's "Weaving Department" in Bai Yujing.
The silk used is the silk spun by the ice silkworms bred on Wanmei Villa. It is invulnerable to water and fire. It is also the standard equipment for the official members of the "Jin Yiwei" as the Yubai assessment unit. The most important thing is that it has the function of "transformation"!
After transforming your own clothes into these shapes.
Then Shen Lian picked up a bead and swallowed it in one gulp!
There was a shadow in the center of the bead, which looked like the Xianbei soldier who had just been killed.
【Various Orb (Gold)】
[Type] Strange object
[Characteristics] Soul lock (can seal the soul of a creature in it), changeable (swallowing the orb can transform into the appearance of the creature, inherit its memory, thinking, and even cultivation and strength, and can return to its original state after spitting it out)
[Explanation] A very rare and rare item!
At the beginning, the dark elf used this treasure to intervene in the struggle between Bai Yujing and Mirage after the kappa leader "Li Daitaojiang".
Later, the kappa leader was beheaded by Xia Tian, and this treasure fell into Xia Tian's hands.
In order to enable myself to better complete the task.
The Lord of the City specially handed over this "treasure" obtained from the Kappa clan to himself!
Now, let’s try our best.
Sure enough, the face turned into this Xianbei soldier, and his own thinking and even fighting methods were inherited in his mind!
"Well, these Xianbei people are here to besiege the Han people..."
Shen Lian's eyes shone brightly and then narrowed. After a little adaptation, he held the waistband of his pants with one hand and walked back with the weapon in the other hand.
"Bu Liu, what's the matter with you! You've been here for so long, couldn't it be that you went to the reward camp last night because of your meritorious service? It was too much fun, right?"
Several Xianbei people nearby, whose bodies smelled like animals, said with some complaints.
"What are you talking about? The women of the Japanese country are far inferior to the women of the Han people. They are short and thin, and they still have a mortal body. They can't bear it at all. They are not exhausted. How can they be weak? They just have a bad stomach..."
"Bu Liu" said with an unhappy expression on his face.
"You're still talking about it! The Han people are tough and seek life and death at every turn. Your Majesty specially captured hundreds of Japanese soldiers to reward the army. As a result, the two of you were so unlucky yesterday that you suffered heavy bleeding and were hopeless. Before being thrown to feed the horses, she even cursed you. He and Dugen both died..."
"Hmph, what use is the curse of a mere mortal to us who have the blessing of 'Heaven'?"
"Bu Liu" he said nonchalantly, but there was a bit of coldness in his lowered eyes!
"It's impossible to tell. Dugen was sent to test the Han position before. As soon as he got close, a Han crossbow exploded the top of it. He died miserably!"
Another Xianbei soldier shook his head
"Well, are these Han people so powerful?"
These Xianbei soldiers are not weak, their strength is almost above the mortal level, but they were killed by a single arrow?
"Yes, the cultivation of these Han people seems to be undergoing five transformations. It is no small matter. If you sneak inside and narrowly escape death, there is a high probability that you will not survive."
"Don't worry, this time we have the artifact given by 'Cangtian', which is enough for us to get close to each other... Moreover, it is not a bad thing for these Han people to be strong... Once we kill them, we can seize powerful luck from them. Not only Not only can you get an improvement in your cultivation, but you can also get additional benefits..."
Shen Lian followed several soldiers who smelled strongly of livestock, and quickly gathered information with his ears tilted.
"Come here, everyone, and accept the blessings from heaven..."
A burly Xianbei general, holding a mace in his hand, whose cultivation has reached the fourth level of transcendence, stood beside him with a translucent "tent".
"Everyone go in, and then come out."
After hearing this, the soldiers walked through the tent and found that there was nothing special about their bodies.
But looking at the world around them and those who did not enter the tent, they seemed to have suddenly fallen into a kind of "nothingness", as if they were wearing a "gauze dress".
"This is the void gauze dress... In this state, your traces will be hidden and will not be discovered... Now the task is to sneak in during the battle, eliminate the defensive soldiers inside, and find out the strengths and weaknesses of these Han people..."
The Xianbei general holding the mace shouted loudly.
Then, the Xianbei army raised their shields again and attacked the cave entrance that was difficult to pass through due to the accumulation of a large number of chariots! (End of this chapter)
