Chapter 127: Fighting Tiger Army
Boom boom...
The simultaneous charge of five thousand elite soldiers of the Zhenbei Army caused the ground to shake violently, as if there was an earthquake.
On the top of the low hill in front of the Tianwu Army camp, the general of the front army, Tuoba Jinqing, and the twelve captains of the army were all dumbfounded.
"What...what do they want to do?"
"Crazy, is this general of Daqian crazy? He actually ordered these five thousand soldiers to attack directly."
Originally, they did not take the sneak attack of Luo Cheng and others seriously.
After all, such an action had already happened once last night, and they had been prepared for it.
However, they never expected that these five thousand soldiers were not sneak attacks, but launched an attack directly.
They launched an attack on their camp openly.
Five thousand soldiers attacked their camp of nearly 120,000 soldiers. This operation...
After a brief moment of astonishment and disbelief, Tuoba Jinqing shouted in a deep voice:
"Wanyan Weiquan, lead your 10,000 soldiers to attack... I want these 5,000 Zhenbei troops to be wiped out."
"Yes, sir!"
After the words fell, Wanyan Weiquan, who received the order, immediately gave orders to his subordinates who had been prepared.
Then, under the leadership of Wanyan Weiquan, 10,000 Tianwu infantrymen rushed towards the 5,000 Zhenbei troops.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
...
In an instant, the 5,000 Zhenbei troops and the 10,000 Tianwu infantrymen fought together.
"General, what the hell is this Daqian commander doing?"
Looking at the two sides fighting crazily, a captain next to Tuoba Jinqing showed a strong sense of doubt on his face.
"They just sneaked up last night, but they launched a direct attack tonight, and there are only 5,000 soldiers. How can they fight like this?"
Faced with his subordinates' questions, Tuoba Jinqing took a deep breath and shook his head.
He didn't understand what Daqian meant by this operation.
If they really wanted to launch a general attack, wouldn't it be better to launch the attack directly during the day?
According to the information he investigated, there are as many as 140,000 Zhenbei troops in the Guanai City.
At the moment, the number of their own troops is not as large as that of the Zhenbei troops.
If the Zhenbei troops came out in full force to attack them directly, they would really be very passive.
But after two days of testing, he was sure that the general of the Zhenbei Army had not decided to come out in full force to launch an attack.
This made him feel a lot more relieved.
As the commander of the front army that invaded Daqian this time, his task was not to launch the attack first.
But to guard the camp and delay time to the greatest extent to try to get the follow-up troops to arrive.
After all the follow-up troops arrived, it was time to launch the invasion attack.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with his plan, but Daqian's action at this moment completely disrupted his plan and arrangement.
More importantly, he didn't understand why Daqian did this.
Such an action was not at all like a decision that a qualified general could make.
Just as Tuoba Jinqing and others were watching the battle and were extremely confused, Lu Fan and two captains on the city wall were also chatting.
"Which legion of the Tianwu Dynasty invaded this time?"
Although Lu Fan was very unhappy with the Tianwu Dynasty, he had to admit that the fighting power of the Tianwu barbarians was very strong.
Daqian had four ace legions guarding the southeast, northwest, and three other legions, with a total strength of more than two million.
The Tianwu Dynasty also had many ace legions, among which the Tianwu Iron Cavalry Legion was the most famous.
The Tianwu Dynasty was famous for its iron cavalry, but it did not mean that their infantry was very poor.
However, Lu Fan did not know much about the Tianwu Dynasty, and only knew the most famous Tianwu Iron Cavalry Legion.
Facing Lu Fan's inquiry, Si E, the commander of ten thousand men, replied in a deep voice: "Your Highness, the 120,000 Tianwu vanguard troops who invaded this time came from the War Tiger Army and the Tianwu Four Guards..."
The Tianwu Dynasty has a total of ten legions, with a total number of soldiers and horses close to three million, which is more than the number of soldiers and horses of Daqian.
The most famous of these ten legions are the Tianwu Iron Cavalry, the War Tiger Legion, the War Wolf Legion, the War Bear Legion and the War Lion Legion.
The Tianwu Iron Cavalry directly obeys the Lord of Tianwu and is considered to be the direct troops of the Emperor of Tianwu.
The other four legions of tigers, wolves, bears and lions belong to the four powerful nobles in the Tianwu Dynasty.
The War Tiger Army belongs to the Tuoba family, the War Wolf Army belongs to the Situ family, the War Bear Army belongs to the Sikong family, and the War Lion Army belongs to the Duanmu family.
The four ace legions belonging to these four powerful nobles are actually equivalent to the four ace legions of Daqian in the southeast, northwest and northeast, and are also stationed in the four directions of Tianwu.
It's just that Tianwu and Daqian are different.
The imperial power of Daqian is supreme, and the power is completely concentrated in the hands of the royal family, and no challenge is allowed.
Whether it is the four supreme garrison princes or other members of the Lu family of the Daqian royal family, they cannot point fingers at the throne.
Even if there are various dissatisfactions in secret, they will never go against the imperial power in public.
The most important point is military power.
The military power of Daqian is in the hands of Emperor Qian, and the transfer of all legions must be approved by the Daqian Military Department and Emperor Qian.
Even if the four major legions in the southeast, northwest, and northeast have the marks of the four garrison princes, they still have to obey the will of the Ministry of War and Emperor Qian.
However, this is not the case in the Tianwu Dynasty.
In addition to the Tianwu Iron Cavalry, which is the direct legion of the Tianwu Emperor, the four trump legions of tigers, wolves, bears, and lions are all controlled by the four powerful families, which are equivalent to the private armies of the four families.
The Emperor of Tianwu does not have absolute control over these four trump card armies.
In addition, the situation in the other armies of the Tianwu Dynasty is also quite complicated.
The Zhanhu Army that invaded Daqian this time belongs to the Tuoba family, which is also the guardian family of the southern part of Tianwu.
As for the Tianwu Four Guards, they are ordinary armies of the Tianwu Dynasty and cannot be compared with the Zhanhu Army.
"My lord, among these 120,000 soldiers, there are only 20,000 Zhanhu Army, and the rest are all people from the Tianwu Four Guards."
After Si E finished his story, Lu Fan also had a general understanding of the military situation of the Tianwu Dynasty.
After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Si E and said, "Who is the general of the front army of the Tianwu side?"
"Your Highness, the leading general this time is Tuoba Jinqing..."
While answering, Si E briefly introduced Lu Fan to the news of Tuoba Jinqing.
Just as Lu Fan was listening to Si E's introduction, a deafening loud noise suddenly came from the front.
Boom!
Along with this deafening roar, a flame more than ten meters high shot up into the sky in the enemy camp.
This roar interrupted Si E's answer and attracted Lu Fan's attention.
When the three looked at the enemy camp two kilometers away, three or four more deafening roars sounded.
Boom!
Boom!
...
The roars continued, and the flames more than ten meters high continued to erupt.
Geng Yan, Zhao Tianhu, Lang Zhengfei and others also followed Lu Fan's orders and led the mighty Zhenbei Army to kill the enemy camp with flames.
[Ding, kill a first-level cultivator in the body-building realm and get 1 point! ]
[Ding, kill an ordinary soldier and get 0.1 points. ]
...
Listening to the continuous system prompts, Lu Fan's mouth curled up slightly and directly set it to silent mode...
