Chapter 711 The wind and clouds rise

10days ago Xuanhuan Novels 14
In late January 1677, the mainland was surging and the wolf smoke rose in the sky. The black Shura army appeared in the Grand Canyon east of Xitian City. The army was the first to bear the brunt of the target of Tangtu City at the exit of the Grand Canyon of Paradise.

Although the local garrison had been warned and prepared as much as possible, the 200,000 Shura Army was a terrible force that could not resist.

After being besieged for three days and three nights, Tangtu City was desperately waiting for reinforcements to fall, and 15,000 defenders were killed. The lord of Tangtu City Fan Long committed suicide to the country.

After the fall of Tangtu City, the two cities of Qingjing and Sishui were successively captured by the Shura army. Hundreds of thousands of refugees who escaped the war flocked to the territory east of Tianjing and Tianjing to take refuge. The road was filled with people day and night.

Most of the refugees have not witnessed Shura people with their own eyes, but this does not prevent them from recognizing themselves as the most authoritative Shura experts.

The streets of the capital were filled with earthy and ragged refugees. They were full of horror and told passers-by with a thrilling story about their thrilling escape. The people of Beijing who had not seen war for many years were exclaimed.

Naturally, the main theme of the story is how they themselves escaped from the cruel Shura with wise and courage, but they gave people the impression that Shura people are very powerful and invincible.

In front of those fierce Shura people, the eagle people have only two ways to choose: either flee in a panic, or die obediently

There seems to be no more power in the world to stop these savages from the grassland.

Despite the terror, the capital was not desperate, and the people still had last hope.

In a panic moment, the name of a hero circulated in the streets and alleys of the capital. When talking about him, even the most pessimistic people ignited hope.

The first general of the Condor Hero Empire, the world's most famous general, the world-famous imperial general. Twenty years ago, he defeated the Shura army with fewer and defeated the Shura army in Xitian City, annihilated hundreds of thousands of enemies, which made the Shura people frightened and retreated.

His dazzling figure was very eye-catching, and people said: Prince Wu! Only he can resist the Shura people!

Prince Wu is still here! The Central Army, the elite unit of the empire, is still intact!

In Xitian City, he defeated the Shura army! Now, he will surely create miracles again and defeat the Shura invading army!

But no one expected that the Jinyang King Wu Wudi, who was highly expected by the people and the empire, was hiding in the Feixue Tower of the Jinyang Palace, and was in the palace.

In order not to endure the endless pain and torture, Wu Wudi finally listened to the advice of Lao Luotuo and chose to be a palace master.

As a man, choosing to castrate himself requires extraordinary courage.

But the matter of castration was related to Wu Wudi's Zunyan. In order not to let the matter of castration leak out, Wu Wudi temporarily put the old camel under house arrest in Feixue Tower.

The reason why he did not kill the old camel was that after he castrated himself, he still needed the old camel to treat it. Moreover, he also needed the old camel to refine the elixir to make him completely transform into a woman

Wu Wudi didn't know why he was not disgusted with castration? In his heart, he felt an urgent desire to become a woman.

The world is in chaos, Wu Wudi has no time to pay attention to it, and he let go of all the military affairs to his son Wu Tianhu.

Although Wu Tianhu is not very good, he is even a sinister villain, but in the face of national crisis, Wu Tianhu also deeply understands the principle of losing his lips and cold teeth.

Wu Tianhu knew that if the Shura people entered Tianjing, the empire was finished, the court was finished, the Wu family was finished, and he also finished all the glory and power would no longer exist.

For the Wu family and for themselves, Wu Tianhu shouldered the arduous mission entrusted by Wu Wudi, and shouldered the important task of defending the country and defending the capital.

He was originally the admiral of the Nine Gates, but now he has jumped to a high position and has become the commander-in-chief who controls all military power in the capital.

From this we can see that the power of the Wu family in the court is absolutely present. Although Prime Minister Xiao and Emperor Tianshou summoned all the ministers to discuss, the final result of the discussion was: to move the capital.

Almost all officials unanimously believed that the barrier to the west of the capital had been lost, and with the continuous entry of Shura troops into the pass, Tianjing could not be defended.

Instead of waiting for the Shura army to capture Tianjing, it is better to move the capital as soon as possible

In name, it was moving the capital, but in fact, it was because the officials were afraid of death and ran away quickly. Of course, moving the capital was forced, and it was imperative.

Xitian City fell, and Tianjing City was like a girl who was stripped naked, naked, facing the fate of being abused and ravaged by Shura people.

Therefore, the imperial officials moved the capital unanimously, and wanted to move the capital to the capital of Tiandu County in southern Xinjiang, Tiandu

Once you decide to move the capital, the entire capital will be in chaos.

Hearing that the Shura Army was about to fight, whether it was a dignitary or a wealthy businessman or a gentry, they packed their luggage, took away all the valuable things they could take away, and rushed to escape from the capital.

Wu Tianhu, the commander of the three armies, did not flee with many officials from the court, but stayed to guard the capital and fight against the Shura soldiers.

Wu Tianhu knew how much he had. Therefore, he knew people and made good use of it. He appointed his master Zhuge Qingyun as his military advisor, and appointed Lu family son Lu Chong, appointed him as deputy commander, and mobilized all troops that could be used in the capital.

The Shura Army was advancing very quickly, and the front line was flooding with intelligence, and the frustrating words were repeated again and again: Lost, surrounded, defeated, lost contact

As the advance team of the Shura Army was moving everywhere, the Condor Scouts could only bring back some vague intelligence. The commander had to judge the enemy's next move from this intelligence. The difficulty was no less than finding an embroidery needle in the dark room.

On the front thousands of miles, the Shura people seemed to have infinite troops and squandered energy. They attacked five towns at the same time, and besieged twelve cities with strong defenses.

The front line is as complex as the masterpiece of the Impressionist painter. The red and black arrows on the war zone map are entangled in a ball, and the enemy and us are mixed.

What puzzled Zhuge Qingyun in particular was: The Shura Army could attack from all directions in such a way. What was their intention? Which one was the main attack direction of the Shura Army? Is their troops enough to support five attack surfaces?

The senior strategists in the command were summoned to discuss and study together. Everyone thought hard and read all the military books and past battle examples, but there was no reason to explain why the Shura people attacked from all directions so crazily, unless the Shura people had ten times more troops than they estimated.

A strategist who was thinking and swelling in his head shouted: I was going crazy when I thought about it!

Zhuge Qingyun was shocked, he raised his tired head and said thoughtfully: I think, we found the reason, the Shura people went crazy!

In fact, it is too light to describe Shura Jun's state at this time with the word "crazy".

In Xitian City, the legion commanders of the Shura Empire parted ways with Prince Qinglong. After leaving the fortress, a debate broke out between the legion commanders again.

The Ninth Legion, dominated by Garulu soldiers, attacked the southeastern cities such as Yuyu, Gangjiang, Yanhai, etc. Tian Jue, the commander of Garulu, hoped to seize control of these places as soon as possible.

The Duke Ye Fei of the Seventh Legion had a strong desire to make achievements. His several victories after leaving the pass made him look down on the resistance of the Condor Heroes Army very much.

He believed that there was no need to dispatch the main force of the Shura Empire, just a few vanguard legions would be enough to sweep the entire continent.

He called for continued eastward advance and to seize the capital of the Eagle Empire, Tianjing, before His Majesty Shura, before His Majesty Shura's imperial lords arrived, to offer a gift to His Majesty Shura's arrival in Tianjing

But Tian absolutely has little interest in this glorious mission. He is like a real estate developer. He just grabs the land everywhere and is angry. Ye Fei takes the Seventh Legion on his way alone.

Although Ye Fei is alone, behind him is the army of the Shura Empire, he is full of confidence.

In addition, when encountering Shura army, the Condor Heroes were extremely panicked: the civilians screamed in panic, and the army hid in the city and did not dare to go out to fight in the field. Even once, several Shura soldiers who were lost in the Seventh Army frightened all the soldiers and civilians in a small city and fled.

Those more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians could not have thought that there would be other ways to treat these lonely Shura soldiers besides escaping.

All of this encourages Ye Fei's arrogance. He is even worried. How should he speak to the surrendered ministers of the Eagle Kingdom's civil and military affairs when entering Tianjing?

Should I comfort the other party with kind words or threaten them harshly?

Or just kill them all?

If all the court officials in the Eagle Kingdom were killed, then who would the empire negotiate with?

Who will lead the remaining territory of the Eagle Kingdom to surrender to the Shura Empire?

This is really a difficult question! Ye Fei sighed in a pretentious manner, like a rich man who was worried about whether to eat bear's paw first for lunch or shark fin first?

Zhuge Qingyun judged that the Shura people would take the shortest road and head straight to Tianjing, so their next main attack direction must be Mianyang City.

To this end, the commander is ready to fight

On January 21, the most elite 100,000 imperial guards in the empire set off. Deputy Commander Lu Chong was in charge of Mianyang City. He was like a big spider in the middle of the web, carefully and cautiously observing the approaching enemy.

A large number of troops were sent to reconnaise the movements of the Shura Army. The messenger quickly issued orders to the counties. On the wide and flat avenues, on the rugged mountain paths, in the rarely-known secret jungle, there were marching troops and horses everywhere, and weapons everywhere, just like streams and rivers converging into the sea. Countless troops began to gather towards Mianyang City from all directions. The first counterattack of the Condor Empire against the invading enemy was about to begin!

On January 23, as Zhuge Qingyun predicted, the Yasha Legion of the Shura Empire entered Mianyang area.

This is a spectacular army. The formation lasts for several miles, with swords like mountains, guns like forests, people like seas, murderous auras, war horses neighing violently, cavalry spreading over the sky, military formation like seas

Seeing the Shura army's formation in full swing, the defenders of Leiming City in the southeast of Mianyang were frightened and abandoned the city and fled.

Ye Fei smiled arrogantly, and he waved his hand: We took Leiming City today, and we will take Mianyang City tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, the warriors, we will spend the night in Tianjing! Good wine, delicacies, beauties, gold and silver, how much do you want!

Thinking of the legendary most prosperous city on the mainland, with mountains of gold, silver and wine, the whole army started to clamor, and thousands of Shura soldiers shouted excitedly, and the momentum was as straight as a mountain torrent and tsunami: Tianjing! Tianjing! Take Tianjing! Take Tianjing!

Even the outpost was not sent, and the Shura army was moving forward in a row. Ye Fei was not worried that he would fall into the ambush and ambush in the plains. This is the basic military knowledge.

But when one party has almost infinite logistics and human resources, conventional military knowledge is not enough to be taught.

In just a few days, the Condor Heroes mobilized 500,000 troops and millions of civilians. The staggering number of military and civilians kept digging trenches and laying wire mesh positions in the vast plains day and night, building layer after layer of defense positions. The Mianyang Plain was dug into trenches and fragmented, so that the farmers who opened the land after the war even saved the time to dig the water diversion canal.

These fortifications rely on the starry city on the plains, layered trenches and earthen walls continue to the end of the earth, forming a huge defensive line

When the Shura Army first saw the boundless fortifications, the soldiers were stunned: Oh oh oh, it's really spectacular!

No one realized that a huge trap that almost caused the entire Seventh Army to be wiped out has emerged

At first, Ye Fei wanted to bypass the defensive positions of the Condor Heroes to attack, but the Air Force Scouts reported that there were also continuous defensive positions and city walls on both sides. The Condor Heroes' army was heavily guarded, and they could not find a gap to leave.

At this time, even the stupidest person will smell the conspiracy

Although Ye Fei is arrogant, he is not stupid

To arrange such a huge deep defense line, the manpower and expense required are astronomical, and it will never be a place with the ability to organize.

It is obvious that the enemy has mobilized the whole country to fight against the Condor Court, and his strength is insufficient.

It took less than an hour to detect the trap and make the decision to withdraw troops. Ye Fei's reaction was very fast, but Lu Zhong's movements were faster than him.

On the evening of January 23, the Condor Heroes appeared ghostly behind the Shura Army, and unexpectedly captured the Thunder City, which was left by only a small number of Shura Yaksha soldiers.

The defenders had already made a trick when they evacuated, and the tunnels secretly led to the city.

The suicide squad broke out from the tunnel at night, killing all the Shura soldiers guarding the city and regaining the city. The pockets surrounding the circle were tied up!

When Ye Fei heard that Leiming City was captured, he felt that something was wrong. He sent an air force messenger back to the rear and asked Prince Qinglong and other legion commanders to come for reinforcements. While transferring the army, he attempted to break through from Hamamatsu Castle on the right wing.

But Lu Chong was also prepared for this. He arranged a very powerful reserve team on the outside and quickly reinforced Hamamatsu Castle. He then launched a counterattack from both wings, consolidating the encirclement defense line again.
