Chapter 098: Battle
"How are you preparing to open the 'Supreme Seal'?" The Second Highness's figure flashed, and he raised his hand to pull out the long sword inserted into the boulder.
When he turned around again, the guy who had been prostrate on the ground and had been frightened was already in a different place.
"Everything is ready, I only owe His Highness an order. The two responded in unison.
"Good!"
"Summons General Huo, all arms for war. The long sword was unsheathed, and the Second Highness looked up to the sky and laughed, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. "The show is finally on!"
......
Dayan and Daqin went to war, and the news shook Western Xinjiang.
A month ago, the Great Yan Empire was heavily pressed, and almost everyone was aware of the coming of a storm, but afterwards, the 100,000 soldiers and horses of the Great Yan Empire did not move.
Moreover, there were treasures in the Western Xinjiang recently, which completely distracted everyone's attention, and just when almost everyone was about to forget about it, the Great Yan Empire launched a general attack at this time, and it was fierce, and the Great Qin Empire was caught off guard.
In the first battle, because the Great Yan Empire had no warning in advance, the border guards of the Great Qin Empire were unexpected, and they responded to the battle in a hurry, and the time, place, and people were not occupied, the Great Yan Empire won completely, the border was missed, and the soldiers of the Great Qin Empire suffered nearly 1,000 casualties, and the city, including women, children, old and children, was slaughtered by the Great Yan Army overnight.
Slaughter the city!
When the First World War came out, the Great Qin Empire was indignant, and the practice of continuing since ancient times was not to kill, not to kill prisoners, not to kill surrenders, and not to kill the people, but the Great Yan Empire was brutal and bloody this time.
The next day, without any suspense, the second battle kicked off outside the city of Sola.
If Sola City is breached again, then Misty City, the last defensive line in the Western Frontier, will be completely exposed to the iron hooves of the 100,000-strong army of Great Yan.
The Xiang family army stationed in Sola City in Western Xinjiang had made defensive preparations in advance at this moment, but due to the rush of time, the main force of the Xiang family's war beast army had not yet arrived, but the brutal methods of the first battle of the Dayan Empire had stimulated the latent crazy nature in the deepest part of the Xiang family's sergeant.
Xiang Jiajun resisted the Yan army of 100,000 with 30,000 troops, and the two armies went through a fierce battle, and Xiang's army suffered heavy casualties, and gradually appeared to be overwhelmed.
The Xiang family's army was less against more, and after a battle, it was still able to hold the city without falling, which shows the courage of the Xiang family's army.
Of course, the defense of Sola City is by no means comparable to the border city, and the Xiang family army has paid a considerable price at the moment, but compared to the Xiang family army, their price is nothing.
At night, the Yan army launched a second round of attacks on Sola City again, seeing that the Xiang family army was about to be unable to hold on, at this critical moment, the main force of the Xiang family army arrived at the city of Sola under the leadership of Xiang Nantian, among which the 'butcher' Luo Lin and the 'dog slaughter' also went out with the army.
As for Misty City, only Xiang Nantian's younger brother Xiang Nanfeng and military advisor Qi Shao were left to preside over the overall situation.
Seeing that the main force of the Yan army poured out, Xiang Nantian and Luo Lin discussed and made a decision that could be described as extremely bold, and Xiang Nantian led a large army to join forces with the soldiers in Sola City to launch a general attack on the Yan army.
Luo Lin led an elite army and attacked overnight, approaching the base camp of the Yan army, smashing Huanglong, and completely cutting off the opponent's logistical supplies.
The Yan army was attacked by the Xiang family army inside and outside, and the original advantage disappeared, and was caught off guard by the Xiang family army for a while, and the parry was powerless, while on the other hand, the Xiang family army was full of energy and high spirits, as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, murderous and full of fighting spirit.
Due to the arrival of Xiang Nantian, the morale of the Yan army plummeted, and in desperation, the Yan army hurriedly retreated.
And Xiang Nantian did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, he knew the truth of the poor Kou Mo chasing, first, he was worried that there was an ambush at night, and secondly, he was worried that he would be forced too tightly, and the other party jumped over the wall in a hurry, even if he finally won, he only ended up with a wounded enemy of 10,000 and a self-loss of 8,000.
Besides, they still have strange soldiers, and when the time comes, Yan Jun will definitely not be able to eat and go around, so why should he be in a hurry.
The next day, as soon as the sky was bright, news came from the rear that the base camp of the Yan army was wiped out by a group of strange soldiers, and all the grain and grass were turned into ashes in one fell swoop.
When the news came, the whole army of the Xiang family army was encouraged, and the morale of the Yan army was greatly reduced, and it was no longer as brave as before.
In desperation, the whole Yan army retreated to the Suli grassland to rest and recuperate, waiting for the empire to replenish its military strength, while the Xiang family army also closed the city, and stepped up training soldiers day and night, waiting for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle.
Hearing the news from the front line, Nan Kerui's originally tense heart finally let go, there is Xiang Nantian and Luo Lin teamed up, not to mention that the commander of the Great Yan Empire this time is Huo Yuantian, even if it is the great general of the Great Yan Empire, Yan Fenglin, they can fight a bloody way.
......
"Conspiracy! outright conspiracy!" Su Chengying sneered and said indignantly.
Su Chengying has already hooked up with the subordinates of the 'Hidden Wind' at this moment, and now all the information of the Sherong Ancient Forest will be conveyed to his ears as soon as possible, so that they can react as quickly as possible, and any wind and grass will not hide from him.
This undoubtedly gave Nan Kerui and them an extra pair of eyes.
"How so?"
Nan Kerui frowned slightly, thinking about the tactics of the Dayan Empire, and also found some clues, and when he heard Su Chengying's words at this moment, he couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Although the Great Yan Empire won a complete victory in the first battle, this seems to be no problem, but it is the biggest problem. ”
"Brother Rui, if you think about it carefully, this battle is simply full of loopholes, this time the Great Yan Empire marched into the western frontier, arranged for more than a whole month, consumed a lot of manpower and material resources, but in the end it only killed more than a thousand enemies, and what is even more speechless is that they also made a crazy move that is not even as good as pigs and dogs to slaughter the city, is this a bit too. ”
"And I firmly believe that the decision-makers of the Great Yan Empire will not be stupid to this extent, then there is only one possibility, this is their deliberate doing, and their purpose in doing this is to lead the Great Qin Empire to ...... in the final analysis."
"Looking at the second battle again, the military deployment and offensive strategy of the Great Yan Empire are all terrible, not to mention that Huo Yuantian, the commander of the Great Yan Empire, is a general who has experienced a hundred battles, even if I am asked to command, it will not suffer such heavy losses, I don't believe that the soldiers of the Great Yan Empire are sent to death for thousands of miles. ”
"And one thing, from the information transmitted by the 'Hidden Wind', I found out that the 100,000 troops sent by the Great Yan Empire this time look like a ragtag army?"
"Why don't you say it's because the soldiers of the Xiang family army are brave and good at fighting......"
Although Nan Kerui said this, his heart coincided with Su Chengying's thoughts, and at the same time, he also believed that the 'butcher' Luo Lin and Xiang Nantian, the commander of the Xiang family's army, would definitely be aware of it.
"Although the Xiang family army is brave, if it weren't for the Yan army being too unreliable, it wouldn't be so much that the 100,000-strong army wouldn't be able to capture a small city for a whole day......"
"Then according to what you mean, what kind of purpose does the Great Yan Empire have in raising troops this time?" Nan Kerui's expression was extremely solemn.
"I don't believe they're really sent to death?"
"It's not certain yet, but when the third battle is over, we should be able to see the difference. Su Chengying smacked his lips and pretended to be mysterious.
"Don't play this game for me!" Nan Kerui kicked at Su Chengying, but Su Chengying calmly dodged him. "Tell me what you think......"
"The southern neighbor of the Suli Grassland, Sherong Gulin Horqin Grand Canyon, and it is rumored that a treasure was born here, is it really a coincidence?" Su Chengying's eyes were blazing, and his tone was extremely affirmative. "I conclude that there must be some underlying hidden connection between the two. ”
"It's not obvious, you need to say it. ”
"The Great Yan Empire did not hesitate to work the people and lose money, and it must be a big plot this time. But we haven't figured it out yet, and if we let them succeed, the consequences will be dire. Nan Kerui's face was solemn, and his mood was unprecedentedly heavy.
"What does opening the 'Supreme Seal' have to do with starting a war? These two obviously can't be beaten with eight rods, what does the Great Yan Empire want to do?" Su Chengying was holding his cheek with his right hand at the moment, with a puzzled look on his face, and his mouth kept muttering.
Nan Kerui also fell into deep thought.
......
Inside the city of Sola.
The scene just now between Nan Kerui and Su Chengying was also staged on Xiang Nantian and Luo Lin, Xiang Nantian had sent a large number of undercover spies in advance, but no reliable news had been sent back until now, which made the two people who originally intended to let go of their hands and feet and kill them couldn't help but start to be cautious, for fear that they would fall into the trap of the other party because they didn't investigate for a while, not to mention that the Xiang family's army was not guaranteed, I am afraid that even the entire Western Xinjiang would fall because of this.
They don't give up on the safety of the entire empire for the sake of the moment.
In view of this battle, in order to ensure that nothing goes wrong, Yan Nantian and Luo Lin did not close their eyes for three consecutive days and three nights, and drew up three sets of combat plans in detail, but even so, their hearts are still hanging.
Moreover, during this period, Luo Lin also discussed with Xiang Nantian the thoughts of Old Taijun Shen and the so-called opening of the 'Supreme Seal'.
A day and a night later, the Yan army attacked again, but this time it was not a 100,000-strong army to press the border, but a small army was assigned to constantly disturb the city, and each time it was a small fight, and there were no large-scale casualties.
Luo Lin's sneak attack was successful, resulting in the Yan army's logistics supply was not timely, but fortunately, they were not blindly stupid, they had stored the granaries separately in advance, Luo Lin burned down one of their granaries, but they still had two, and it would not be too much of a problem to support the 100,000 army for ten days and half a month.
However, there is a problem with the supply of logistics, so that they need to fight quickly, otherwise they may be starved to death without the help of the Xiang family's army.
Xiang Nantian and Luo Lin in Sola City did not move, and they did not lose their breath because of the other party's provocation and sent troops to fight, but analyzed more calmly.
Of course, Xiang Nantian was not completely indifferent, and from time to time he would send a surprise army to ambush a small force of the Yan army, and all of them received good results.
The morale of the soldiers of Sola City is high, and the more fierce the battle, they can kill the enemy with each attack, and their own casualties are almost negligible.
