Xiangbei Fortress is actually a huge castle connected by three forts. Two small castles from east to west are located on the tops of two small hills. The tall stone wall extending back is connected with the two arrow towers of the main fort. From the front, the entire Xiangbei Fortress is like a giant stretching out two solid arms to embrace the avenue leading to Bingzhou to Xiangyang firmly in his arms.
Since ancient times, this fortress that strangles the major transportation route has been a must-fight for military strategists and is also one of the important defense lines for the Fast Empire to resist the impact of the cavalry of the northern enemy Pari. It has played a powerful role several times in the history of the Fast Empire's battle with Pari.
After Yuna became the chief commander of Xiangyang Prefecture, Xiangbei Fortress underwent a renewed expansion, which made its permanent garrison reach 25,000. If the war broke out, the entire fortress could even accommodate an army of 150,000.
Now, with the Northern Legion of the Fast Empire, which was originally stationed in Bingzhou, raising the flag of the Sixth Prince Yichun and announcing its march towards the imperial capital Esnia, Yuna doubled the defenders of the northern Hunan Fortress, and the total number of troops above 50,000 was stationed in the solid northern Hunan Fortress, becoming a solid barrier to the northern Hunan Fortress in Xiangyang Prefecture, becoming a solid barrier to the northern Hunan Fortress in Xiangyang Prefecture
Before leaving, the fortress general Yadasi accepted Yuna's handwritten order and must defend the fortress to the death. The fortress's defenders are absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to attack.
Because Yunaya had to wait for the Eagle Yang's Eagle Yang army to eliminate Girimans from the south, and then return to the north to concentrate on his efforts to deal with the Northern Army
As one of the six field army corps of the Fast Empire, its combat power will be greater than that of the troops that Gillimans temporarily pieced together in his southern territory. Anyway, anyone with a little military mind can see clearly. Besides, Yuna and Haiyingyang, who are well aware of military tactics, they will naturally concentrate their superior forces to eliminate the weakest southern enemy.
Although Yadasi, who was appointed as the general of the fortress by Yunaya, is a relatively simple man, his martial arts are not simple at all. He is tall and powerful, and he is extremely brave in the Fast Army.
One of the important reasons why Yuna used him as the general of Xiangbei Fortress is that Yadasi was the most obedient among his men.
Yadasi never gave any discount on his lord's orders
This is what Yuna admires the most, because he knows that the Zhao family and son of the Northern Legion are all terrifying guys who are more cunning than foxes, and they may fall into their tricks if they are not careful.
Therefore, he only needs a person who faithfully carries out his orders to defend the Xiangbei Fortress
※※※
On November 5, 538, the first batch of soldiers from the Northern Legion finally appeared in front of the defenders of the Xiangbei Fortress. This was an infantry team with only 5,000 people.
Seeing them showing off their might in front of the fortress, many subordinates suggested to the fortress general Yadashi to fight first, and to destroy this small enemy force first, so as to kill the soldiers of the Northern Legion and fight.
Sir, let’s go to war and offer a gift to Your Highness’s throne ceremony!
Sir, this is a great opportunity to kill the enemy and make contributions. Please let us fight!
But all the suggestions of the subordinates were rejected by the fortress general Yadashi one by one.
You can just guard the fortress for me, don’t give me any bad ideas. Adasi only had the order given to him by Yunaya in his heart, and said to his subordinates who were eager to fight: Your Highness’s order is very clear. Keep the fortress and don’t fight. If any bastard wants to fight now, don’t blame me for chopping his head!
Afterwards, Yadasi was already stern and had a wide eyelid
Although I really wanted to make a contribution and offer a generous gift to Yuna's throne ceremony, Yadasi's subordinates also knew the temper of the commander, so they had to retreat with nonchalance
From morning to afternoon, the five thousand infantry teams were walking around in front of the Xiangbei Fortress defenders. They did not enter the attack range of the fortress, and the fortress defenders could only regard them as if they had not seen them.
Before sunset, when the fortress defenders showed no sign of fighting, the infantry team of the Northern Legion began to retreat.
When their figures disappeared from the vision of the fortress defenders, in the distant mountains and forests, a large number of soldiers from the northern legion also appeared. They were covered in darkness, with more than 40,000 people, with bright armor and sharp swords and guns. The murderous aura soared into the sky made the setting sun in the sky lose its glory.
Seeing such a scene in front of you, the soldiers guarding the Xiangbei Fortress could not help but be shocked. Fortunately, they did not take the initiative to attack, otherwise they would definitely fall into the enemy's trick.
At the same time, they also scolded the Zhao family father and son in their hearts for being extremely treacherous and had already started using these tricks before the official war was formally fought.
Have you seen it now? Adasi's voice was deafening: Your Highness's magic tricks are not something you idiots can imagine. I will keep the fortress well in the future
The soldiers answered in unison, returned to their own defensive locations, ready to face the enemy's attack
※※※
The fierce attack began after supper. The rapid appearance of the Northern Legion surprised the defenders of Xiangbei Fortress. As soon as the moon rose, two infantry phalanx attack teams rushed over. Each of them raised their shields diagonally on their heads and approached the fortress quickly.
For a moment, countless light balls and torches lit up on the battlefield, making the sky bright like white day
As the commander shouted loudly, the soldiers of the Northern Legion stepped on the blood of their companions, crossed the body with body temperature, and stubbornly approached the wall of the fortress city.
The high ladder pushed up, shaking the wall of the fortress against the wood, and the sound of killing was trembling even the earth trembled. The arrows on the battlefield were flying like locusts, and the stones on the fortress fell like raindrops.
It was originally a soldier on the same front who was fighting for the ambitions of several people. In such a scene, even the moon in the sky could not bear to look at it anymore. The stars were dim and dark clouds filled the sky.
Finally, the horn of retreat sounded from the rear formation of the Northern Legion, and a large number of broken swords, broken bows and corpses were left on the ground in front of the Xiangbei Fortress. The first wave of attacks, the Northern Legion lost more than 2,600 soldiers.
Although he repelled the enemy's attack, Yadasi did not feel any relief. He knew that this was just a tentative attack from the opponent, and the real fierce battle was still behind.
In the second half of the night, it started to rain heavily in the sky
With lightning and lightning, the Northern Legion began a large-scale attack
This time, they dispatched a team of magicians in the legion. A thousand magicians approached a corner of the fortress under the cover of heavy infantry.
The white light in the air is slowly accumulating, and the dark clouds are swelling, and silver electric lights burst out from time to time. The magic energy is concentrated at a high level. This is what the magician in the fortress can sense, and even the magic protection device of the fortress can sense it.
But Yadasi had no other way. He could only mobilize the three hundred magicians in the fortress to activate magic protection with all his strength, and at the same time, he ordered his archers to shoot with all their strength. He would never let the magician enter their attack range.
Amid the long sound of the low horn, an extremely dazzling white light flashed across the battlefield, like a demon tearing open the dark sky, and casting the light that was a hundred times brighter than the sun on the soldiers of the Xiangbei Fortress.
No! At the moment the white light appeared, Adasi suddenly shouted: Everyone, close their eyes quickly!
But it was too late for him to say this. Because he was fully alert to the enemy to approach, in the dark night with heavy rain, all the soldiers tried their best to open their eyes. Therefore, when this magical power of a thousand magicians gathered and absorbed the dazzling technique emitted by the natural power of heaven and earth suddenly appeared, they had no defense at all.
An unbearable burning sensation rose from the eyes, and the groans were loud. The soldiers on the Xiangbei Fortress instinctively covered their eyes with their hands, but this white light had caused terrible damage to their eyes, especially those archers who were fully focused. They suffered the most damage, leaving indelible white spots in their eyes.
The soldiers of the Northern Legion, who had already bowed their heads and slowly approached the fortress, made a shocking shout, raised their heads and rushed towards the Xiangbei Fortress wildly.
In just a moment, they leaned on the fortress's wall almost without any casualties, and the powerful trenchers were pushed to the bottom of the fortress. However, these modified trenchers were not used to launch stones, they were ejected by ladders standing full of soldiers.
Pink... With the loud bang like a cannon, hundreds of ladders were set up to the fortress city. The soldiers on it jumped into the fortress and started a fierce battle with the fortress defenders.
Damn bastard!
Standing on the main city tower, Yadasi almost bit his steel teeth. The Northern Legion's move was too fierce, and his subordinates lost their due attack power.
Although most soldiers will recover their vision after a brief blindness, this delay in time on the hot battlefield is enough to change the situation.
By the time Yadasi transferred the soldiers who were preparing to rotate in the fortress to the top of the city, many northern legion soldiers had appeared on the city of the Xiangbei Fortress. The defenders who had just recovered their vision not only could not stop their attacks, but also became stumbling blocks for their companions due to the damage to their sense of balance.
Soon, the Northern Legion controlled a wall on the fortress's city. Below, a steady stream of soldiers climbed up along the ladder.
Never let the Northern Legion occupy the city!
Seeing this situation, Yadasi took the lead in pulling out the long sword from his waist and rushed towards the lost city wall with his men.
His amazing bravery was fully demonstrated on this night, and the soldiers of the Northern Legion standing in front of him used their lives to prove it.
In a moment, the sword of Adasi was stained with the blood of the Northern Legion soldiers. The road he passed by was covered with the bodies of the Northern Legion soldiers.
The soldiers of the Northern Legion kept falling from the city, but more soldiers climbed up. For these soldiers, life and death were no longer felt. Now they only had the only eyes to seize the other's city and complete the command of the general.
The young master's clever plan is indeed invincible!
In the rear of the Northern Legion, a staff officer who accompanied the army gave a sincere praise to Zhao Ziyi, who was sitting on a tall horse.
It was this man known as the Bingzhou ghost fox who commanded the 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Legion who went south this time.
Although it was still raining in the air, the guard behind Zhao Ziyi held a huge Tianluo umbrella in his hand. The bright golden armor on his body was not stained with rain. However, his short and fat figure seemed to be resisting the armor on his body. No matter which angle he looked at it, it made people feel out of place.
Hearing his subordinates' flattery, Zhao Ziyi nodded slightly, without saying anything
Yuna is such a fool. He actually sent a warrior like Yadasi to guard the Xiangbei Fortress. It was simply self-destructive. It seemed that the fourth son would seize the imperial capital Esniya, which was easy for him to take over!
Another staff officer touched his beard and joined the ranks of flattery
Several other staff officers around Zhao Ziyi also nodded repeatedly, praising the young master's incomparable plan, and actually came up with such a way to attack the unbreakable Xiangbei Fortress.
Don't underestimate Yunaya, he is also a smart person, he just underestimated me. After hearing this, Zhao Ziyi finally couldn't help but say
He couldn't help but sigh slightly as he watched the magician team retreating from the front passed by his side.
The moment just now, the dizziness technique was released with the help of the abnormal natural power in the air, almost exhausting the magic of these magicians. These people even seem a little floating when walking.
Zhao Ziyi didn't want to use this method of attacking the city so quickly, so as not to let future enemies be prepared
But this opportunity is rare. The weather conditions are suitable for the help of natural forces. If there is no high concentration of natural magic in the weather with lightning, it is difficult for a thousand magicians to work together to issue such a powerful dazzling technique, and the attack below will naturally not be so easy.
Moreover, Zhao Ziyi also thought that this time he went south, he had to give people a feeling of being extremely powerful, so his first move must be clean and neat, making people know that his powerful strength is enough to influence the political situation of the entire Fast Empire.
Another point is that he also had the intention of secretly competing with Ye Tianlong, who was shocked by the great power of the Tianlong Legion. Ye Tianlong was able to defeat the Yunyang army several times his own with the strength of the Tianlong Legion. If Zhao Ziyi could not capture this small Xiangbei Fortress all at once, wouldn’t it mean that he was much worse than Ye Tianlong?
You are also unlucky, and you will become my authority
Looking at the fiery battle in Xiangbei Fortress, Zhao Ziyi said in his heart
Yu Fengwu, Hai Yingyang, Ye Tianlong, from today on, Fast should add another general, that is, I, Zhao Ziyi!
Although Yadasi repeatedly rushed to the ground, knocking down all the soldiers of the Northern Legion they saw to the ground, more and more enemies appeared on the fortress city walls.
What's even more unfortunate is that since the sub-forts on both sides are in a state of hard fighting, the engineers from the northern legion that hit the gate of the main fort were simply unscrupulous.
The impact and destruction again and again made the entire city gate tower shaking slightly
Boom! With a loud bang, the entire city gate tower finally collapsed, pressing the soldiers of the Northern Legion who were attacking the city gate below. However, this casualties had no meaning to the Northern Legion on the attacking side, because the gate of Xiangbei Fortress had been opened to them.
It should have given them the last blow
Zhao Ziyi raised the military fan in his hand and waved it forward with force.
The cavalry of the Northern Legion, who had been impatient behind him, shouted loudly, raised the weapons in his hand, turned into several torrents of steel, flowed past his commander, and rushed to the Xiangbei Fortress that had lost its doors.
Eighty thousand iron hooves made the ground of the entire Xiangbei Fortress tremble. The sound of iron armor and spear rubbing in the air stimulated the nerves of every soldier. The soldiers of the Northern Legion whizzing past Zhao Ziyi were all flashing with fanatical brilliance on their faces, and bloody red colors reflected from their dark eyes.
The real stage of men is on the battlefield!
Zhao Ziyi was obsessed with such a hot scene, especially when all this was carried out under his leadership.
A sense of pride surged in his chest, and his short, fat and ridiculous figure seemed so tall that it was hard to see directly
Fast, you will be my world! Sure!
It was dawn, and the rain in the air stopped. The military flag of the Northern Legion and Zhao Ziyi's commanding flag were raised on the main city tower of Xiangbei Fortress.
The loss of Xiangbei Fortress made Xiangyang Prefecture completely fall into the attack range of the northern legion. Since there was no longer enough field force to compete with Zhao Ziyi's army, from Xiangbei Fortress to Xiangyang City, everyone opened their hearts to Zhao Ziyi's army.
The continuous Northern Legion soldiers entered the Xiangbei Fortress, which they had just captured, and turned it into an important base for them to go south.
※※※
You say it again!
The anger in Yuna's eyes was enough to make the air in front of him burn. In front of his sharp eyes, even the bravest general could not help but bow his head.
The northern legion was captured by the northern legion in less than a day?
Yes, respectful Your Majesty
The man standing in front of Yuna was respectful and reported to his lord in the most standard posture. Although Yuna had not officially ascended the throne of Fast, his subordinates had already begun to call him the title of His Majesty.
General Yadasi and his remaining troops have retreated to Xiangyang City. Now the northern army is advancing towards Xiangyang City.
Damn bastard! Yuna couldn't help but curse. At this moment, he really wanted to split the five horses of Adasi immediately.
Originally, after Haiyingyang led the Eagle Yang army to defeat Girimans' vanguard, the situation in Fast should be very clear, but now the loss of Xiangbei Fortress has changed the great situation they have worked hard to establish.
The Northern Legion shakes his confidant position, which is enough to keep some fences away, and the morale of Gillimans' side will be greatly improved.
In any aspect, it has a significant impact on Yunaya
Yadasi deserves to die! Didn’t I tell him to stick to it? He didn’t hold on for a day, and he still has the face to escape back?
After hearing the accusations of his lord, his subordinates who came to report quickly briefly explained the loss of Xiangbei Fortress, and finally said to his lord: Dear Your Majesty, General Yadasi has already asked for punishment and was taken to the prison of Xiangyang City. He said that if it weren't for bringing the remaining troops back to Xiangyang City, he would have died in the battle at the head of Xiangbei Fortress.
He could speak, Yuna said coldly, and then fell into deep thought.
He didn't expect that Zhao Ziyi would have such strength. Even if he encountered this kind of attack method, it would be difficult to guard against.
Moreover, from the opportunity chosen by Zhao Ziyi, the strength he showed during the attack, and the steps he took, he undoubtedly showed his extraordinary scheming. It seemed that he had been too careless about this enemy before.
Thinking of this, Yuna immediately made a decision in his heart and immediately led the army to attack. He had to stop Zhao Ziyi's army before attacking Xiangyang City.
Your Majesty, at this time, do you still have to lead the army? The confidant Cosby, who was beside him, was shocked when he heard Yuna's order.
He quickly reminded his lord
In another eleven days, your throne ceremony will soon be. Other trusted ministers have also spoken out to dissuade them. Now everything is almost ready. Even the VIPs from all over the world who invited the ceremony are arriving in Esnia one after another. If the protagonist of the throne ceremony cannot play, it will undoubtedly become an international joke.
Eleven days are enough. A smile full of confidence flowed out of Yuna's mouth: It is precisely because Zhao Ziyi didn't expect that I would lead the troops to attack personally that the goal of a surprise victory can be achieved.
Speaking of this, he paused his tone and then said with hope: If things go well over the lake, the Northern Legion will soon become our turtle in the jar. By then, no one in Fast can compete with me.
All those who understood the meaning of Yunaya's words lit up their eyes, but Fei Xianzhe, who had been smiling and silently shook his head slightly and said softly in a voice that only he and Yunaya could hear: Your Majesty, don't forget that guy in Qingzhou...
Yuna's eyes slightly closed, and a cold light of light suddenly appeared
I won't forget that bastard, I'm not here, please pay more attention to it these days
Fei Xianzhe nodded. He knew what Yunaya was referring to. In order to deal with the situation, Yunaya secretly trained a substitute who was almost the same as him. Now it should be time to come in handy.
Several flames rose from several roofs one after another, spreading out in an instant, and the fire was shining in the sky
An ice plate in the air is like an autumn moon, and it is also dull at this moment
The place where the fire caught was a tallest building near the Chuyue Palace District
In less than a moment, several tall buildings scattered in the city were all filled with flames, and the autumn wind was tight, which could easily affect the whole city.
But at this moment, there were only a few people trying the fire, but the sound of killing in the wide streets was deafening, and corpses could be seen everywhere.
Because at this moment, the one who was attacking the Chuyue royal city was actually the army responsible for protecting the safety of the royal city. They had a white towel on their arms, and under the fire and moonlight, but they saw these soldiers everywhere in the royal city. As long as they met someone who was not a white towel, they would cut off the killing swords.
Because the subordinate officers and soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with corrupt officials and foolish kings, under the incitement of some ambitious people, the most serious rebellion in Chuyue's history finally broke out.
Nearly 100,000 fully armed soldiers quickly completely controlled the royal city of Chu Yue. They surrounded the palace. The poor Wang Jiagu could only close the palace gate tightly under the roar of the commander's voice, and secretly prayed that the red-eyed troops outside would not rush in.
National Master, what should I do now?
King Chu Yue, who was frightened by the loud noise outside, had no choice but to ask for help from his national teacher.
Send someone to negotiate with the soldiers outside first. The puppet master, who was sitting firmly on the chair, replied in a very calm tone.
This man who no one knows his true appearance and age will always be a puppet face that looks like excessive powdering. He only has the cold and electric eyes all over his body to let others know his existence
Temporarily stabilize those ignorant guys, and then immediately send someone to contact Wu Xiongyi in secret, so that he can quickly lead his troops to quell the rebellion!
Can he do it? Prime Minister Hadawei, who was standing next to King Chuyue, said hesitantly: The mutiny is still unsuppressed by even the respected veteran Nikolachi.
Leave it to Wu Xiongyi! A terrible cold light flashed in the eyes of the puppet master: his subordinates are the new army he trained with.
Just follow the national teacher's method. The king of Chu Yue can only believe in his own national teacher now.
Feishan Tiger, it's time for your tiger to show off your might and bite people
Looking at the important officials of Chu Yue who were frightened by the sudden mutiny, the puppet master couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He knew very well how powerful the man who was called the Tiger of Feishan had, and now he wanted to provide this man with a broad stage.
Wu Xiongyi, who received the king's secret order, rushed to the royal city without saying a word.
It was originally a four-day journey, but his army only took two days, and the speed of its marching was astonishing.
And everything that followed shocked everyone even more
After entering the royal city, Wu Xiongyi commanded his new army to seize several commanding heights, he began to set up the new light cannons in their hands.
This weapon similar to the miniature version of the siege cannon can be lifted by two or three soldiers, making it very convenient to move
Dozens of light cannons were installed, and with the order of Wu Xiongyi, the firepower was immediately opened and terrifying white lights were fired at the soldiers gathered in front of the palace.
In almost the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The angry soldiers began to launch a counterattack on Wuxiongyi's new army, but they could not get close to Wuxiongyi's new army at all, because the soldiers in a row of cross-rowed groups held light guns and formed an insurmountable barrier in front of them.
Every time the dense white light flashes, it takes away the lives of countless soldiers.
With the powerful light cannon bombardment above the head, the soldiers involved in the mutiny were almost completely dispersed in less than half a day.
Tens of thousands of corpses were lying on the streets of the city, and the remaining soldiers began to hide everywhere. The lack of truly powerful leaders made this mutiny come to an end soon.
In the evening, the situation completely reversed, and Wu Xiongyi's new army controlled the entire royal city.
The massive mutiny took only three days from initiation to defeat
Wu Xiongyi was immediately named General by the King of Chu Yue and became the number one figure in the military.
His decisiveness and cold blood also allowed the people of Chu Yue to see the true strength of Feishan Zhihu, and dared to use this powerful new weapon in their royal city. Moreover, the ruthless massacre of mutiny soldiers also gave Wu Xiongyi the bad reputation of a royal city butcher behind him.
Although the new army and its new equipment that appeared in front of everyone for the first time were shown in an unfamous manner as a massacre of its own army, its terrible power has shocked everyone.
Facing such light guns and light cannons, how can ordinary soldiers who use guns, spears, swords, bows and arrows resist?
This question was thought for a long time for the army of mainland countries in the future.
Episode 22
Since ancient times, this fortress that strangles the major transportation route has been a must-fight for military strategists and is also one of the important defense lines for the Fast Empire to resist the impact of the cavalry of the northern enemy Pari.

When their figures disappeared from the vision of the fortress defenders, in the distant mountains and forests, a large number of soldiers from the northern legion also appeared. They were covered in darkness, with more than 40,000 people, with bright armor and sharp swords and guns. The murderous aura soared into the sky made the setting sun in the sky lose its glory.
Seeing such a scene in front of you, the soldiers guarding the Xiangbei Fortress could not help but be shocked. Fortunately, they did not take the initiative to attack, otherwise they would definitely fall into the enemy's trick.

The fierce attack began after supper. The rapid appearance of the Northern Legion surprised the defenders of Xiangbei Fortress. As soon as the moon rose, two infantry phalanx attack teams rushed over. Each of them raised their shields diagonally on their heads and approached the fortress quickly.
For a moment, countless light balls and torches lit up on the battlefield, making the sky bright like white day
As the commander shouted loudly, the soldiers of the Northern Legion stepped on the blood of their companions, crossed the body with body temperature, and stubbornly approached the wall of the fortress city.
The high ladder pushed up, shaking the wall of the fortress against the wood, and the sound of killing was trembling even the earth trembled. The arrows on the battlefield were flying like locusts, and the stones on the fortress fell like raindrops.
It was originally a soldier on the same front who was fighting for the ambitions of several people. In such a scene, even the moon in the sky could not bear to look at it anymore. The stars were dim and dark clouds filled the sky.
Finally, the horn of retreat sounded from the rear formation of the Northern Legion, and a large number of broken swords, broken bows and corpses were left on the ground in front of the Xiangbei Fortress. The first wave of attacks, the Northern Legion lost more than 2,600 soldiers.

His amazing bravery was fully demonstrated on this night, and the soldiers of the Northern Legion standing in front of him used their lives to prove it.
In a moment, the sword of Adasi was stained with the blood of the Northern Legion soldiers. The road he passed by was covered with the bodies of the Northern Legion soldiers.
The soldiers of the Northern Legion kept falling from the city, but more soldiers climbed up. For these soldiers, life and death were no longer felt. Now they only had the only eyes to seize the other's city and complete the command of the general.
The young master's clever plan is indeed invincible!
In the rear of the Northern Legion, a staff officer who accompanied the army gave a sincere praise to Zhao Ziyi, who was sitting on a tall horse.
It was this man known as the Bingzhou ghost fox who commanded the 100,000 soldiers of the Northern Legion who went south this time.
Although it was still raining in the air, the guard behind Zhao Ziyi held a huge Tianluo umbrella in his hand. The bright golden armor on his body was not stained with rain. However, his short and fat figure seemed to be resisting the armor on his body. No matter which angle he looked at it, it made people feel out of place.
Hearing his subordinates' flattery, Zhao Ziyi nodded slightly, without saying anything
Yuna is such a fool. He actually sent a warrior like Yadasi to guard the Xiangbei Fortress. It was simply self-destructive. It seemed that the fourth son would seize the imperial capital Esniya, which was easy for him to take over!
Another staff officer touched his beard and joined the ranks of flattery
Several other staff officers around Zhao Ziyi also nodded repeatedly, praising the young master's incomparable plan, and actually came up with such a way to attack the unbreakable Xiangbei Fortress.
Don't underestimate Yunaya, he is also a smart person, he just underestimated me. After hearing this, Zhao Ziyi finally couldn't help but say
He couldn't help but sigh slightly as he watched the magician team retreating from the front passed by his side.
The moment just now, the dizziness technique was released with the help of the abnormal natural power in the air, almost exhausting the magic of these magicians. These people even seem a little floating when walking.
Zhao Ziyi didn't want to use this method of attacking the city so quickly, so as not to let future enemies be prepared
But this opportunity is rare. The weather conditions are suitable for the help of natural forces. If there is no high concentration of natural magic in the weather with lightning, it is difficult for a thousand magicians to work together to issue such a powerful dazzling technique, and the attack below will naturally not be so easy.
Moreover, Zhao Ziyi also thought that this time he went south, he had to give people a feeling of being extremely powerful, so his first move must be clean and neat, making people know that his powerful strength is enough to influence the political situation of the entire Fast Empire.
Another point is that he also had the intention of secretly competing with Ye Tianlong, who was shocked by the great power of the Tianlong Legion. Ye Tianlong was able to defeat the Yunyang army several times his own with the strength of the Tianlong Legion. If Zhao Ziyi could not capture this small Xiangbei Fortress all at once, wouldn’t it mean that he was much worse than Ye Tianlong?
You are also unlucky, and you will become my authority
Looking at the fiery battle in Xiangbei Fortress, Zhao Ziyi said in his heart
Yu Fengwu, Hai Yingyang, Ye Tianlong, from today on, Fast should add another general, that is, I, Zhao Ziyi!
Although Yadasi repeatedly rushed to the ground, knocking down all the soldiers of the Northern Legion they saw to the ground, more and more enemies appeared on the fortress city walls.
What's even more unfortunate is that since the sub-forts on both sides are in a state of hard fighting, the engineers from the northern legion that hit the gate of the main fort were simply unscrupulous.
The impact and destruction again and again made the entire city gate tower shaking slightly
Boom! With a loud bang, the entire city gate tower finally collapsed, pressing the soldiers of the Northern Legion who were attacking the city gate below. However, this casualties had no meaning to the Northern Legion on the attacking side, because the gate of Xiangbei Fortress had been opened to them.
It should have given them the last blow
Zhao Ziyi raised the military fan in his hand and waved it forward with force.
The cavalry of the Northern Legion, who had been impatient behind him, shouted loudly, raised the weapons in his hand, turned into several torrents of steel, flowed past his commander, and rushed to the Xiangbei Fortress that had lost its doors.
Eighty thousand iron hooves made the ground of the entire Xiangbei Fortress tremble. The sound of iron armor and spear rubbing in the air stimulated the nerves of every soldier. The soldiers of the Northern Legion whizzing past Zhao Ziyi were all flashing with fanatical brilliance on their faces, and bloody red colors reflected from their dark eyes.
The real stage of men is on the battlefield!
Zhao Ziyi was obsessed with such a hot scene, especially when all this was carried out under his leadership.
A sense of pride surged in his chest, and his short, fat and ridiculous figure seemed so tall that it was hard to see directly
Fast, you will be my world! Sure!
It was dawn, and the rain in the air stopped. The military flag of the Northern Legion and Zhao Ziyi's commanding flag were raised on the main city tower of Xiangbei Fortress.
The loss of Xiangbei Fortress made Xiangyang Prefecture completely fall into the attack range of the northern legion. Since there was no longer enough field force to compete with Zhao Ziyi's army, from Xiangbei Fortress to Xiangyang City, everyone opened their hearts to Zhao Ziyi's army.
The continuous Northern Legion soldiers entered the Xiangbei Fortress, which they had just captured, and turned it into an important base for them to go south.
※※※
You say it again!
The anger in Yuna's eyes was enough to make the air in front of him burn. In front of his sharp eyes, even the bravest general could not help but bow his head.
The northern legion was captured by the northern legion in less than a day?
Yes, respectful Your Majesty
The man standing in front of Yuna was respectful and reported to his lord in the most standard posture. Although Yuna had not officially ascended the throne of Fast, his subordinates had already begun to call him the title of His Majesty.
General Yadasi and his remaining troops have retreated to Xiangyang City. Now the northern army is advancing towards Xiangyang City.
Damn bastard! Yuna couldn't help but curse. At this moment, he really wanted to split the five horses of Adasi immediately.
Originally, after Haiyingyang led the Eagle Yang army to defeat Girimans' vanguard, the situation in Fast should be very clear, but now the loss of Xiangbei Fortress has changed the great situation they have worked hard to establish.
The Northern Legion shakes his confidant position, which is enough to keep some fences away, and the morale of Gillimans' side will be greatly improved.
In any aspect, it has a significant impact on Yunaya
Yadasi deserves to die! Didn’t I tell him to stick to it? He didn’t hold on for a day, and he still has the face to escape back?
After hearing the accusations of his lord, his subordinates who came to report quickly briefly explained the loss of Xiangbei Fortress, and finally said to his lord: Dear Your Majesty, General Yadasi has already asked for punishment and was taken to the prison of Xiangyang City. He said that if it weren't for bringing the remaining troops back to Xiangyang City, he would have died in the battle at the head of Xiangbei Fortress.
He could speak, Yuna said coldly, and then fell into deep thought.
He didn't expect that Zhao Ziyi would have such strength. Even if he encountered this kind of attack method, it would be difficult to guard against.
Moreover, from the opportunity chosen by Zhao Ziyi, the strength he showed during the attack, and the steps he took, he undoubtedly showed his extraordinary scheming. It seemed that he had been too careless about this enemy before.
Thinking of this, Yuna immediately made a decision in his heart and immediately led the army to attack. He had to stop Zhao Ziyi's army before attacking Xiangyang City.
Your Majesty, at this time, do you still have to lead the army? The confidant Cosby, who was beside him, was shocked when he heard Yuna's order.
He quickly reminded his lord
In another eleven days, your throne ceremony will soon be. Other trusted ministers have also spoken out to dissuade them. Now everything is almost ready. Even the VIPs from all over the world who invited the ceremony are arriving in Esnia one after another. If the protagonist of the throne ceremony cannot play, it will undoubtedly become an international joke.
Eleven days are enough. A smile full of confidence flowed out of Yuna's mouth: It is precisely because Zhao Ziyi didn't expect that I would lead the troops to attack personally that the goal of a surprise victory can be achieved.
Speaking of this, he paused his tone and then said with hope: If things go well over the lake, the Northern Legion will soon become our turtle in the jar. By then, no one in Fast can compete with me.
All those who understood the meaning of Yunaya's words lit up their eyes, but Fei Xianzhe, who had been smiling and silently shook his head slightly and said softly in a voice that only he and Yunaya could hear: Your Majesty, don't forget that guy in Qingzhou...
Yuna's eyes slightly closed, and a cold light of light suddenly appeared
I won't forget that bastard, I'm not here, please pay more attention to it these days
Fei Xianzhe nodded. He knew what Yunaya was referring to. In order to deal with the situation, Yunaya secretly trained a substitute who was almost the same as him. Now it should be time to come in handy.
Several flames rose from several roofs one after another, spreading out in an instant, and the fire was shining in the sky
An ice plate in the air is like an autumn moon, and it is also dull at this moment
The place where the fire caught was a tallest building near the Chuyue Palace District
In less than a moment, several tall buildings scattered in the city were all filled with flames, and the autumn wind was tight, which could easily affect the whole city.
But at this moment, there were only a few people trying the fire, but the sound of killing in the wide streets was deafening, and corpses could be seen everywhere.
Because at this moment, the one who was attacking the Chuyue royal city was actually the army responsible for protecting the safety of the royal city. They had a white towel on their arms, and under the fire and moonlight, but they saw these soldiers everywhere in the royal city. As long as they met someone who was not a white towel, they would cut off the killing swords.
Because the subordinate officers and soldiers were extremely dissatisfied with corrupt officials and foolish kings, under the incitement of some ambitious people, the most serious rebellion in Chuyue's history finally broke out.
Nearly 100,000 fully armed soldiers quickly completely controlled the royal city of Chu Yue. They surrounded the palace. The poor Wang Jiagu could only close the palace gate tightly under the roar of the commander's voice, and secretly prayed that the red-eyed troops outside would not rush in.
National Master, what should I do now?
King Chu Yue, who was frightened by the loud noise outside, had no choice but to ask for help from his national teacher.
Send someone to negotiate with the soldiers outside first. The puppet master, who was sitting firmly on the chair, replied in a very calm tone.
This man who no one knows his true appearance and age will always be a puppet face that looks like excessive powdering. He only has the cold and electric eyes all over his body to let others know his existence
Temporarily stabilize those ignorant guys, and then immediately send someone to contact Wu Xiongyi in secret, so that he can quickly lead his troops to quell the rebellion!
Can he do it? Prime Minister Hadawei, who was standing next to King Chuyue, said hesitantly: The mutiny is still unsuppressed by even the respected veteran Nikolachi.
Leave it to Wu Xiongyi! A terrible cold light flashed in the eyes of the puppet master: his subordinates are the new army he trained with.
Just follow the national teacher's method. The king of Chu Yue can only believe in his own national teacher now.
Feishan Tiger, it's time for your tiger to show off your might and bite people
Looking at the important officials of Chu Yue who were frightened by the sudden mutiny, the puppet master couldn't help but sneer in his heart.
He knew very well how powerful the man who was called the Tiger of Feishan had, and now he wanted to provide this man with a broad stage.
Wu Xiongyi, who received the king's secret order, rushed to the royal city without saying a word.
It was originally a four-day journey, but his army only took two days, and the speed of its marching was astonishing.
And everything that followed shocked everyone even more
After entering the royal city, Wu Xiongyi commanded his new army to seize several commanding heights, he began to set up the new light cannons in their hands.
This weapon similar to the miniature version of the siege cannon can be lifted by two or three soldiers, making it very convenient to move
Dozens of light cannons were installed, and with the order of Wu Xiongyi, the firepower was immediately opened and terrifying white lights were fired at the soldiers gathered in front of the palace.
In almost the blink of an eye, a large number of soldiers fell into a pool of blood.
The angry soldiers began to launch a counterattack on Wuxiongyi's new army, but they could not get close to Wuxiongyi's new army at all, because the soldiers in a row of cross-rowed groups held light guns and formed an insurmountable barrier in front of them.
Every time the dense white light flashes, it takes away the lives of countless soldiers.
With the powerful light cannon bombardment above the head, the soldiers involved in the mutiny were almost completely dispersed in less than half a day.
Tens of thousands of corpses were lying on the streets of the city, and the remaining soldiers began to hide everywhere. The lack of truly powerful leaders made this mutiny come to an end soon.
In the evening, the situation completely reversed, and Wu Xiongyi's new army controlled the entire royal city.
The massive mutiny took only three days from initiation to defeat
Wu Xiongyi was immediately named General by the King of Chu Yue and became the number one figure in the military.
His decisiveness and cold blood also allowed the people of Chu Yue to see the true strength of Feishan Zhihu, and dared to use this powerful new weapon in their royal city. Moreover, the ruthless massacre of mutiny soldiers also gave Wu Xiongyi the bad reputation of a royal city butcher behind him.
Although the new army and its new equipment that appeared in front of everyone for the first time were shown in an unfamous manner as a massacre of its own army, its terrible power has shocked everyone.
Facing such light guns and light cannons, how can ordinary soldiers who use guns, spears, swords, bows and arrows resist?
This question was thought for a long time for the army of mainland countries in the future.
