C575 Smoke hoof disease

Profound Nether Empire. In front of the formation sat a dignified looking man on a horse, he was clad in armor, and there was a cloak with wild patterns on his back. This added to his previously noble demeanor was a sense of wildness and ruthlessness.

Not far behind him, there was a large flag with the word 'Fresh' written on it. From that, it could be seen that the person leading the group was Xianyu Hetu.

After half a day of siege, both the upper and lower echelons of the city were dead or injured, but the one under the city was the one who had suffered the most. With Xianyu Hetu's cold-blooded and cruel command, the originally gradual battle of the siege warfare became an incomparably tragic war of attrition the moment it got under way.

According to common sense, there should be people who would come forward to oppose this inhumane method of command, but strangely, amongst the generals of the Profound Nether Empire, none of them felt that there was anything wrong with the prince's command. Instead, every single one of them stared angrily in the direction of the city walls, as if the city in front of them was the center of all hatred, a place to vent their anger.

"Father, why did you withdraw your troops? Our soldiers should still be able to fight! "

"Fatigue is not easy to fight. Our army's momentum is gradually weakening. Our fighting spirit is not as high and mighty as it was in the beginning. We might as well retreat and adjust ourselves a little!"

"Then why did foster father suddenly transfer the cavalry troops to the front and use cavalry to charge into the city? Our losses will be even greater!"

"We have fought for almost a day, and the sky has gradually dimmed, so we cannot afford to be careless at this time, if our siege warfare is still unable to reap any benefits, we can only choose to retreat and fight again, and what we are most afraid of now is the counterattack from the enemy. The reason why father sent the cavalry to cover our retreat is also to deter the cowards in the city, so that they can continue to shrink and not think of any perverted ideas!"

"What do we do if the enemy attacks our cavalry?"

"Haha, then that's a big problem! But with Situ Qingyun's caution, he would not take the risk of losing so much to fight with our cavalry troops! "

"But foster father, won't the Honglong Empire have other reinforcements coming to our aid?"

"There might be, but there might not be!"

"What does that mean?"

"Do you know why we suddenly led a large army to attack?"

"Because the nine kings of Honglong Empire have given us benefits, and in addition, they have to cooperate with us from the inside!"

"Not bad, but it's one-sided! At the same time, the cunning tiger at the west is also spying on the western borders of the Honglong Empire. Furthermore, I heard that they have obtained the map of the northwest defense, which means that as long as the commander of the Roaring Tiger Empire isn't a fool, she can completely break into the northern border of the Honglong Empire! "

"So it's like that. If it's really like that, then the forces within the Honglong Empire will be severely unable to make ends meet!"

"That's right, so if we do not take advantage of this opportunity to attack the northern border of Honglong Empire, I'm afraid we will never have another chance!"

"Does that mean there won't be any reinforcements from the north?"

"I think other than those trash reinforcements with flower vases, the Honglong Empire would not be able to spare even a tiny bit of their manpower!"

"Then we have nothing to worry about!"

"This is why I am so sure that Situ Qingyun will not leave the city and destroy my cavalry! Not to mention whether his cavalry could completely annihilate our cavalry, just this kind of fighting style where both of us get hurt, is not something that Situ Qingyun would choose! "

"Foster father, I still have something I don't understand!"

"Speak!"

"You just said that if all of our cavalry soldiers were annihilated, then this would be a big matter. Even if we lose our cavalry soldiers, it wouldn't have much of an impact on our lives!"

"You are wrong! Moreover, we can also threaten the surrounding cities at any time. If I want, I can even send my cavalry to circle around this city and enter the Empire's territory to plunder, but with our main army here to restrain Situ Qingyun, he can't do anything about it! But without this cavalry army, it means that we can only compete with Situ Qingyun here! It is even possible that our rear would be harassed by the enemy, and now that it's our turn to be helpless, it's even possible that our army would be in danger of losing food! "

"So, I've been enlightened!"

"Helian Rong, learn well. You will be able to use it even if you lead troops by yourself in the future!"

"Yes, foster father!"

? ?.

In less than half an incense worth of time, the tragic siege warfare blew his horn once again. Like ants, the Profound Nether Empire warriors, without fear of death, rushed towards the tall city walls, as if they had no intention of dying.

However, there was a section of city wall on the city walls that had been replaced by a group of armored soldiers. Their clothing was completely different from the other Northern Army s, and it seemed like their armor was even more gorgeous.

This situation also attracted the attention of the Profound Nether Empire beneath the city.

Previously, they were shocked by this sudden army of soldiers. Under the situation where they did not know what their opponent's path was, Xianyu Hetu decisively gave the order to retreat.

However, two days later, they received intelligence that this unit actually did not have any combat capabilities at all. It had been temporarily deployed from the Eastern Army, and most of it was just a mix of water and fisherman's no-name army.

This kind of information, after being repeatedly confirmed by the spies on multiple lines, was finally presented in front of Xianyu Hetu. Although they had long suspected that there was something wrong with this troop, when they saw this kind of information, Xianyu Hetu was still furious.

But today, the Honglong Empire had come to sing a song for him about an empty city. How could he not be angered by it?

As a result, the siege warfare who had been supporting him first and second became focused on a single target attack.

At this moment, the city walls were packed with people. The walls were covered with rope ladders and bamboo ladders, and the people climbing up to the city walls were all over the place. The situation had completely gone out of control.

"Fuck, who let all of you rush over? "Are you all trying to pick the soft persimmon?" Xianyu Hetu started to curse.

The generals blushed and lowered their heads when they heard his curses. Just now, the prince was so angry that he didn't say who would attack the city from the front. As a result, all the commanders responsible for attacking the city gave the order to change their direction of attack, which was why the situation was so chaotic.

No one wished for their soldiers to suffer too many casualties. At the same time, they knew that the enemy forces on that section of the city wall were only there to scare people, and they had no fighting power at all. Whether they could break the city wall or not depended on this area.

However, were those city guards really just a bunch of bluffing? The answer was quickly revealed.

Just as the besieging enemy was about to climb the wall, the enemy on top of the wall suddenly moved. They were pouring something down the wall, something that seemed to be powder or sand, but neither dissipated like powder in the wind nor fell down like sand.

Just as everyone was puzzled, the soldiers on top of the city walls suddenly took out their crossbows from somewhere, lit them with arrows, and then pulled the triggers.

"Boom ?" "Boom ?" A series of fiery lights, accompanied by a dull rumbling sound, suddenly blossomed under the city walls.

"This is bad!" The first to react was Xianyu Hetu, and also the two words that he had shouted out.

However, this was a battlefield. If they just relied on shouting, it would definitely be useless.

As expected, as the powder continued to fall, the soldiers who were climbing up and piling up at the bottom of the city cried out incessantly. Amidst the rumbling and flames, there were even more people who became disabled and even lost their lives.

Blood and flesh were everywhere, limbs and limbs were all over the ground, and the black smoke was everywhere. Most of the people on their bodies had already been burnt black.

However, this was not the end. After clearing out the enemy forces surrounding the city walls, a small package was thrown down from the top of the city walls. The moment it fell into the crowd, a loud explosion followed, and more flesh and blood were splattered onto the ground.

When he looked at the area where the package had landed, there was a large patch of empty space. There were originally quite a few people, but now only blood and flesh remained. Not even a complete person could be seen.

Explosions like this continued to ring out, and the number of casualties increased in a straight line. The soldiers only knew that they were about to escape, but they were shocked by the consecutive explosions. One by one, they ran to the firepower of the other defense zones, providing them with a professional mobile target.

"Retreat, retreat immediately!" Fast! Order: The cavalry is responsible for cutting off the rear. You must ensure the safe withdrawal of the main force! "Faster!" Xianyu Hetu practically roared out the order.

If they did not withdraw now, not only would they lose all their momentum, they might even lose the chance to retaliate crazily. When that time came, they would be defeated like a mountain that had collapsed, and they would not be able to regain their former glory.

Following Xianyu Hetu's command, the cavalry unit quickly charged forward, protecting the main force that was attacking the city as they retreated.

However, at this moment, a Cloud-Piercing Arrow pierced through the clouds and blossomed with dazzling fireworks in the air.

This was a signal. As for whose signal it was, perhaps no one would know! As for the Profound Nether Empire, who was busy retreating, he was even more unsure.

Seeing the fireworks in the distance, Gongsun Ztian revealed a cruel smile and slowly put on his helmet. He then said to the soldiers behind him, "Is there anyone here who is afraid of death?"

"No!"

"Does anyone want to quit?"

"No!"

"The enemy is right in front of us! I will take you to your deaths! Will you follow me? "

"Kill!" Kill! Kill! "

"Let's go!"

Gongsun Ze Tian was the first one to push his horse forward, followed by Gongsun Ze Tian's personal guards, Zhang Sanli and the rest, then the huge man with a strong fighting spirit, and the charming woman with an excited face, followed by the main force of the Black Armored Cavalry led by Di Yutang.

The cavalry's speed increased gradually, but with the help of Gongsun Ze Tian's leadership, they barely covered thirty meters before the cavalry's speed had increased to a terrifying level.

As the saying goes, the smoke rises and the horse hooves gallop. His fighting spirit was so high that it seemed as if he could destroy the enemy!
