C9 Military Affairs like Fire

The Moqiu State was located in the northeast part of the continent. Because of the Wulian Mountain Range, the cold air was stopped here, causing the majority of the time to be filled with bitter cold weather.

It was also because of this that other than the capital city, Mo Qiu, there wasn't really any other city in the Moqiu State. The majority of the commoners were nomadic in nature, and lived in the water grass season of the year. Moreover, the people from Moqiu was good at making materials, which caused the native short and thick iron wood to be continuously processed, causing strong crossbows to appear layer by layer. Regardless of male, female, old, or young, all of them were able to control horses and had extraordinary battle prowess. And what gave Fire Phoenix Nation the most headache was the heavy infantry s of the Moqiu State. In order to survive, the herdsmen of Moqiu State would often have to fight with giant beasts. In the process, they formed a strict battle formation. Which was in front, which was in front, which was behind, which was left, which was right, all these things were deeply engraved in the minds of every adult male during the hunting and guarding battles. If this sort of array formation was used in a battle array, it would also deal a great deal of damage to the army of Fire Phoenix Nation. Unless they made a move from the Fire Phoenix Army, it would be extremely difficult to shake the heavy infantry's army. There was even the saying that "Mo Qiu had stepped through thousands upon thousands of places again, and would not be a match for him". If not for the fact that heavy infantry Mo Qiu's power was far inferior to his Fire Phoenix Army and his numbers were few, it would have been a big question as to which family would have the reputation of the continent's strongest fighting force.

During the long period of nomadic hunting, the descendants of the Mo Qiu clansmen were linked by their clan's bloodline, and gradually formed more than ten different sized tribes. Among them, the most famous were the twelve tribes, whose leaders were known as the "Tiger King". Every five years, the Tiger King would come to Moqiu City and choose a new generation of "Beast Kings" under the witness of the Beast God and the High Priest. In the terms of Fire Phoenix Empire, "Beast King" was the emperor, and the other eleven "Tiger King" were the vassal lords. Only when the Tiger King personally goes to war would this troop be allowed to hang the tiger flag.

How many soldiers did this flag represent? No one knew. However, according to the information that Kong Sheng had, the smallest tribe had at least a hundred thousand people. According to the nomadic habits of the Moqiu State, these hundred thousand people should be able to fight without any problems. And these three tiger flags meant at least two hundred thousand elite soldiers!

This was a scale rarely seen in the past hundred years. At least, this was the second time such a large number of soldiers had been deployed since the beginning of the Three Phoenix Trials! The first time, the three trials of the Fire Phoenix had just been completed.

It was also because of this that Kong Sheng sensed that something was amiss, and hurriedly ordered all the Fire Phoenix Army Knights to rush back to their Phoenix City Pass. Regarding the return journey, Kong Sheng said these words, "No matter the cost, there will be no casualties."

Under this sort of order, these hundred or so Fire Phoenix Army riders displayed the true strength of the first elite of the Fire Phoenix Empire.

According to their agreement, three piles of smoke that represented the most danger would be ignited at the top of Blue Moon Pass City. Soon after, over a hundred people formed a diamond shaped assault formation.

Although the people of the Fire Phoenix Nation called their Moqiu Army the "Demon race", they were, after all, not idiots. Last night's assault camp had caused the five patrol captains to lose their heads, and now no one dared to relax. Although they had not mobilized the heavy infantry from the time they had discovered the traces of the Fire Phoenix Army until they had arrived, it was still more than enough to use a single handheld crossbow to deal with these cavalry soldiers who were not wearing heavy armor s.

The bolt s rained down on the riders, and in a short round of salvos, knocked over seventeen or eighteen riders. The thin chain armor was simply unable to stop the half a foot long iron wood bolt. The tip of the arrow whistled as it shot into their bodies, tearing open their muscles and shattering their organs. The paladins screamed miserably as they fell from their horses, falling to the ground. They were trampled by the hooves of their fellow riders, rendering them completely speechless.

"Turn!" Kong Sheng shouted. He pressed his body against the back of the horse and kept his eyes on the enemy troops that were still hundreds of feet away. This distance of less than three hundred meters was enough to completely annihilate their entire group of Fire Phoenix Army without any heavy armor!

Kong Sheng decisively changed the target of his assault. What he was leading was not the Heavy Cavalry wrapped in iron armor, but the Light Cavalry. There was only one advantage in sacrificing one's defense in exchange, and that was speed!

Under the control of the Fire Phoenix Army Knights, the horses drew an almost perfect arc. At the same time, the Knights pulled on the bow decked with horn of an animal in their hands and shot their arrows upwards. Light cavalry against light infantry, these arrows were enough to make the opponent fall into chaos for a while!

Taking advantage of the fact that the opposing infantry camp had loosened their grip, Kong Sheng brought along his Fire Phoenix Army Knights and directly pounced towards the main camp of the Moqiu State camp!

Facing tens of thousands of enemies, who would dare to lead more than a hundred cavalrymen to directly trample the central army's tent?

Kong Sheng dared!

This was his psychological warfare. Since everyone believed that he wouldn't dare to do it, he had no choice but to do it! As long as the enemy mobilized their troops, he would have the opportunity to use the gap between them to break out of the camp!

The bowl-sized hooves of the horse trampled on the leather and cloth armour of the Light Infantry soldiers, and the crisp sounds of bones breaking and miserable cries could be heard. Following which, a bright long blade was brandished one after another, bringing with it a wave of fresh blood.

They predicted that the two cavalrymen that had passed through the camp last night would still return, and that they would still choose to break through from the areas with weak wings. So they agreed to set up this trap, and let Fire Phoenix Army do it! Then come and don't even think about leaving! But they missed out on one point, which was Kong Sheng, or rather, the ruthlessness and decisiveness of his Fire Phoenix Army.

As the number one fighting power of Fire Phoenix Empire composed of the top students of Imperial Military Academy and the children of aristocratic families, the Fire Phoenix Knight never thought about how they would die rather than being afraid of death. To a noble, dying in the middle of a battle to kill an enemy was the best contribution she could make to the family's honor! If she could personally owl the head of the enemy leader and then die, that would be the most perfect way to die!

Wearing red heavy armor meant that they had an invincible Fire Phoenix Army. After taking off the heavy armor, who dared to say that they were not the empire's strongest fighting force?

When Kong Sheng swung his arm towards the enemy's middle camp, the blood of the more than one hundred riders was completely ignited. It was the dream of just how many warriors to take the general's head in a troop of ten thousand soldiers? At this moment, the dream was right in front of him!

The crazy Fire Phoenix Knight s were like a line of fire as they rushed towards the tent. Steel spears, horses' hooves, long blades, bow decked with horn of an animal s, they mercilessly harvested any enemy soldiers that dared to obstruct them. Moqiu Soldier's horses were not bad, but their horses were as short and sturdy as their bodies. Going head on with the Fire Phoenix Army? They can't!

The panicking Captain of Moqiu Army started to order his soldiers around like headless flies. First, he ordered the heavy infantry to block them, and then he ordered the cavalry to harass them. He also instructed the light infantry to flank them as contradictory orders were issued nonstop, making the already panicking Moqiu Soldier even more flustered. When their mounts collided with the heavy infantry, wanting to avoid this group of Iron Armoured Tortoises, they also blocked the path of the Light Infantry soldiers who were running forward. This was the first time the Moqiu Cavalry riders felt that their beloved horses were a burden.

But no matter what, Kong Sheng only had a hundred people, while the other side had tens of thousands of people, the huge difference in numbers allowed Moqiu Army to ignore the Fire Phoenix Knight's valiant fighting strength. The panic in the camp was only temporary. Large numbers of soldiers were rushing in from all directions like waves from the ocean. They were rushing at the red cavalry. Each wave made the fire weaker. Now, they were less than a hundred meters away from passing through the formation yet again, and they were also less than a hundred meters away from the main tent. However, with these layers of reinforcements stacked on top of each other, Kong Sheng basically did not have any hope of surviving.

"I wish the Lord Kong the best of luck!" A Fire Phoenix Cavalry soldier shouted and flew towards the spear that was aimed at Kong Sheng's back. When Kong Sheng turned around, the lance had already pierced through the cavalry man's back and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Kong Sheng's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets, the whites in his eyes were jumping up and down, he turned and roared at Zhao Handong: "Old Zhao! Zhao Handong! Now that the enemies are in a mess, I will bring the Fire Phoenix Army and charge to attract them. You immediately turn around and charge straight towards the Phoenix City Pass! "

Zhao Handong spat out: "I, Zhao Handong am not that kind of person!"

Kong Sheng did not even think about it, the blade in his hand whizzed past Zhao Handong's throat, and with a hoarse voice, he shouted out one word at a time, "The military information is like fire! At least two hundred thousand soldiers were rushing over. Once the Phoenix City Pass was not prepared, a million citizens would be killed at any time! Zhao Handong, you f * * king scram! "

Zhao Handong snorted, he brandished his blade and cut down a Moqiu Soldier that was rushing over, and shouted at Kong Sheng: "Old Kong, you f * cking came back alive for this daddy!"

Suddenly, Kong Sheng's mouth twitched, and he laughed: "Let's talk after you survive and rush into the trials!"

Before Kong Sheng could even finish speaking, the sound of a drum suddenly came from the direction of the Phoenix City Pass. The Phoenix City Pass door that had not been opened for a long time suddenly opened, and a group of red heavy armor rushed out from the door, like a flow of lava flowing towards the formation of the Moqiu Army.

This group of Fire Phoenix Army was not many, only around three hundred people, but under the contrast of the fiery red heavy armor, they seemed extremely majestic, as though they were giant red fists, heavily smashing towards the Moqiu Army!

"It's teacher!" It was teacher who sent troops to save us! " Kong Sheng's heart roared, the desire to live ignited once again. When they returned, they did not inform the others beforehand. And there was only one person who could observe the movements of the enemy at all times and gather the remaining Fire Phoenix Army of the two battalions to send them out to battle, and that was the Empire's commander of the northern theatre of operations, Shi Keren!

The red fist finally landed heavily on the black rock. No matter how thick the rock was, it was unable to withstand the ferocity of the lava. Adding on to the fact that Kong Sheng had brought along his knights to fight, a small crack appeared on the rock very quickly. A heavy-armored knight casually used a steel spear to sweep away a Moqiu Soldier, with a swoosh, she raised her helmet and roared at Kong Sheng: "Lord Kong! Commander sent us to bring you back to the city! "

The young knight was none other than Qu Feizhi!

The moment the two Fire Phoenix Army Cavalry converged together, Kong Sheng suddenly felt the pressure around him loosen. Following the gradually increasing gong sound, the Moqiu State soldiers stopped attacking them crazily. Kong Sheng understood that this was a defeat for their Moqiu Army. With their current chaotic situation, they could no longer defend against the assault of several hundred Fire Phoenix Army heavy cavalry. Rather than letting them continue to run rampant, it was better to just open up a path for them. Although it was very disgraceful for him to be defeated twice in a day, it was still better than letting the Light Infantry soldiers give the heavy-armored knight their military merits. This transaction was not worth it.

With the pressure lightened, Qu Feizhi immediately brought the heavy-armored knight to protect Kong Sheng and the rest. He personally went to the back of the hall to pressure them, and escorted Kong Sheng and the others back to the Phoenix City Pass.

This time, Kong Sheng had brought a total of one hundred and thirty Fire Phoenix Army Knights with him. But at the moment, he did not have time to think about anything else, as soon as he entered, he dismounted and requested to meet Shi Keren. But when Kong Sheng was led to the office by his personal guard, he was surprised to find that Chen Chu was already there.

Since Chen Chu had returned first, then the commander would already know about the three tiger flags. Kong Sheng relaxed slightly, and after bowing to Shi Keren, he told him about the strange things that happened with the Blue Moon Pass, and then turned to Chen Chu and asked, "I never thought that Manager Chen would bring them back even faster than us, we've worked hard!"

Kong Sheng's words were originally meant to be polite, but he did not expect Chen Chu's reply to be able to make him feel cold.

Chen Chu replied coldly: "I purposely left half an hour later than Kong Tuo, and the military intelligence is greater than the sky. Amongst our battalion, the only one who has returned is me."
