C582 Harassment War (2)
That night, the Profound Nether Empire was tormented into small pieces, and almost no one closed their eyes. The fire raged even more until the white of the fish's belly was spat out, and only then did Kan Kan stop the fire in the camp.
Due to the two consecutive attacks and the fact that many of the wooden fences around the camp had already been burnt down, no one dared to fall asleep even after knowing that the sky was bright. Soldiers were all squatting or sitting on the ground with weapons in their hands and beside their hands were all kinds of containers filled with water.
However, even if they wanted to finish their calculations, there was still a certain someone who was still in the middle of doing so. How could they possibly finish his calculations just like that?
Just as the main camp was preparing to burn the fire for breakfast, gongs and drums once again filled the sky outside the camp. A huge army was marching in, led by Wu Gang, and the soldiers under his command were all heavily armored infantry units in the city.
Furthermore, in the forest far away, there was a hidden elite army of Bow Cavalry. They were waiting in formation, like poisonous snakes waiting to come out of their caves.
Since the situation had developed into a battle situation, then they definitely couldn't eat breakfast anymore. As a result, everyone quickly assembled in formations, ready to fight at any time.
Moreover, was it because of Wu Gang's orders or was it because of the formation of the troops? And with every change in formation, the drowsy Profound Nether Empire soldiers would become 'full of energy', but following that, they did not come to the horn to attack. Instead, they continued to stand.
Because the two attacks had caused them so much fear, the people of Profound Nether Empire did not dare to relax at all, nor did they dare to attack.
They were stuck in a stalemate for a long time. It was noon already, and Wu Gang ordered the army to split up and feed them. Furthermore, they were eating Red Braised Meat and White Rice at noon.
One had to know that they hadn't eaten a proper meal since last night. Furthermore, they had spent the entire night trying to put out the fire in preparation for an attack that might come at any time and anywhere.
When they smelled the fragrance of the meat, almost all the soldiers who were starving felt their stomachs rumble. Of course, the generals of the Profound Nether Empire were all hungry, hence, they too wanted to learn from the other party and eat the food in waves.
But just as they wanted to make a move, Wu Gang waved his hand lightly, and the army behind him slowly stepped forward, approaching the camp site.
Seeing this scene, the soldiers of the Profound Nether Empire did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.
However, with their actions, the enemy's Heavy Armor Infantry soldiers stopped their advance. They continued to stand up in a military posture, and their food continued to be the same as before.
It was fine for the Honglong Empire to be like this, but the people from the Profound Nether Empire would not be able to take it. After repeating this a few times, they understood that the other party was sincere in not allowing them to eat anymore.
However, just as they ran out of the tent, hundreds of arrows came piercing down from the sky, attracting everyone's attention. Then, they saw a sky full of arrows falling down from the sky, instantly killing all of the soldiers that had left the camp.
This sudden scene made the Profound Nether Empire's soldiers no longer dare to act rashly. Seeing their comrades who had died or been wounded in the middle of the arena, the Profound Nether Empire's soldiers immediately felt that they were no longer as hungry as before.
As a result, the deadlock continued like this. Neither side attacked. Of course, one side didn't want to attack, while the other side didn't dare to. At the same time, he didn't retreat, like a cat teasing a little mouse. He would only eat the other party after he had played with them until they had no way of resisting.
Watching them retreating, the generals on the side of the Profound Nether Empire could finally sigh a breath of relief. But before he could finish exhaling, she heard a huge explosion from many parts of the camp behind him. The explosion was deafening, as if it was ignited at the same time.
However, at the same time, the explosion carried a huge fireball with it as it scattered in all directions. It immediately ignited the entire camp and other combustible objects.
Looking at the raging inferno, the soldiers and generals were on the verge of tears. Last night, countless tents had been burned down, and now that they were on fire again, did they still have a place to rest?
Although they didn't know how these explosions were made, the most important thing was to put out the fire. Thus, the fierce fire fighting began once again.
However, when they put out the fire, they discovered that there were traces of being dug into the ground in many places within the camp. It was obvious that the explosives were transported to various parts of the camp by digging a tunnel, and the army during the day was obviously trying to attract everyone's attention by secretly sending people to dig a tunnel before creating this explosion.
After finding out about this, the army that had already been tortured to the point of no return gained another life, which was to listen to the sounds of digging underground.
Although it was already close to summer, the land in the north had just thawed. It was a chilling sight in the night, and if one were to lie on the ground and listen to the sounds coming from underground, it would be akin to suffering.
Of course, what was even more tragic was that they thought that they could finally eat dinner, but they did not expect that the tools they used in that chain of explosions had already been blown up. Furthermore, many of the food that they ate emitted this stench, and there were even traces of human excrement.
Well, dinner was lost.
It was night. The harassment continued, but this time, there was only the sound of waving flags and firecrackers. When the soldiers ran out of the camp to take a look, they did not see any enemy.
After repeating this a few times, Profound Nether Empire also became more intelligent and sent a few people to guard the outside of the camp. The others grabbed the opportunity to rest, and even heard some noises coming from outside, but no one paid attention to them.
But was Honglong Empire's harassment really just a bluff? After a few consecutive times, he discovered that the other party was not being mobilized, so he led his men and launched a real attack. Once again, he turned Profound Nether Empire's camp upside down.
After being taught such a lesson, no one dared to hold back anymore. Everyone mustered up their spirits and sighed at the same time. The other party was too shameless. Fight during the day and fight during the night.
For an ordinary person, fighting with 120% spirit was okay, but for the Profound Nether Empire soldiers who had been tormented for two days and two nights, even if they were beaten hard, they still wouldn't be able to stand it! But their suffering continued.
On the second day, Wu Gang was still leading the team, but they continued to stand outside the camp, brimming with energy and vitality. On the side of the Profound Nether Empire, which was obviously different from all of them, all of them were already shaking their heads and wagging their tails, they had already been deprived of food for several days and did not feel even the slightest bit of sleep.
There were people who wanted to ask, why were they forced into this state, and why weren't they retreating?
The reason was simple. Dozens of soldiers could no longer endure this endless assault, so they split up and fled. However, the next day, they were sent back with their corpses, so people knew that they had become turtles in jars.
Just like that, another three days passed, and a large area of Profound Nether Empire began to betray their people. Many people would rather hang in the air and surrender than suffer anymore.
On the fourth day, there were even some Profound Nether Empire warriors who were eating Red Braised Meat while shouting to their former comrades to surrender. This kind of motivation was too strong, upon seeing that the people who surrendered had calm expressions and flushed red faces, and then looking at them, their faces turned pale, and their bags under their eyes had almost become the only color on their faces, thus, the number of people who surrendered became even more numerous.
Seeing that the moment of surrender was over, Xianyu Hetu could only helplessly declare the surrender of the entire army, while Xianyu Hetu himself, with the protection of his trusted aides and trusted generals, hid in the mountains for a long time before returning back to the empire along the small path.
However, in this battle, Gongsun Zaitian had completely wiped out the three hundred thousand strong army of Profound Nether Empire, shocking all the civil and military officials of the imperial court. This was an unprecedented victory.
In contrast, Ninth Prince's face was ashen. He knew that his entire life could be considered as over, not to mention the fact that the country's forces had been destroyed, even the private army that he had painstakingly nurtured had been completely exterminated.
As for the foreign power that he relied on the most, they had also been completely offended. It was likely that Roaring Tiger Empire and Profound Nether Empire would hate him, the prince who sent them such fake information.
Without these forces, what could he use to fight against his royal brother? And what could he use to resist the Blood Illusion Valley's retaliation?
After a long period of silence, the nine kings sighed helplessly and said to the old steward, "Prepare the carriage, I am going to attack!"
Regardless of how the nine kings came to an agreement with the emperor, their gazes first returned to the northern border.
"Third Uncle, I have something important to attend to here. I'm afraid we will have to depart!"
"How can this be? You are the commander of an army. With such a great victory, the imperial government will definitely bestow you with a reward. You can't do this without me!"
"I am a temporary marshal. Besides, you can't let a five-year-old kid hold onto the position of marshal!" Furthermore, this victory was entirely due to luck. Furthermore, the other party had taken advantage of the loopholes of the enemy to defeat me in one strike. If we were to do it again, it might not be so easy! "
"Then your commander must have done a good job too!"
"Third Uncle, I really can't accept this reward. You should take all the credit!"
"You little bastard, then tell me, why are you leaving so quickly?"
"I want to find someone, someone very important to me!"
"Leng Nuohan?"
"That's right!"
"Forget it, the person was lost in your hands. I want you to get him back!"
and the rest will be settled by you! Wu Gang and his great army would like to request Third Uncle to look after them. I will also greet the Principal at the same time! "
"Just go your way then!" I think that Wu Gang is pretty good! "
"Cheng Qinglong, I will also stay behind. Let him and his father serve under you!"
"Good!" Is there anything else I can ask you to do? "
"What's wrong? I feel like I'm being lonely!" When he said the words' care ', Gongsun Ztian could not help but pause for a moment, as if something bad was about to happen. This was not a good sign.
"By the way, I want to take the giant and the woman, even if they are my personal guards. As for those guys in the staff department, they are mine, I want to take them too!"
"I'm afraid these people ?"
"Third Uncle, it's fine if you know it yourself. No need to say it out loud!"
"Take whoever you want. Do you think I can stop you?" When are you planning to leave? "
"Tonight!"
"So fast?"
"If I don't leave now, I might not be able to make it out alive!" Gongsun Ztian said with a hint of meaning in his tone.
