Chapter 103: The Woods
Princess Changping sent a large number of scouts to investigate around Yanjing City.
Sure enough, as Princess Changping expected, a large group of bloodthirsty alien monsters appeared around Yanjing City, faintly meaning to surround Yanjing City!
Princess Changping and Shangguan Hao, Orion, Qingzhu Qinglan and others discussed in a large hall of the palace.
"It came so suddenly!" Orion said: "Didn't find any clues around before? ”
"This group of bloodthirsty alien monsters seems to have appeared directly outside Yanjing City, without any notice." Shangguan Hao said: "It is very likely that it was teleported. ”
"How many?" Princess Changping asked.
"From the point of view of intelligence, there are about six thousand, most of them are ape-like monsters, about five thousand, and those that can fly, about five hundred. The rest are of some other kind, and there are not many of them. Shangguan Hao said.
"Our troops?" Princess Changping said.
"The forbidden army is 50,000, and the royal city guards are 80,000. But these armies really can't compete with the bloodthirsty aliens, and Orion has brought back mechs, so they can fight! Shangguan Hao said.
"What do you think?" Princess Changping set her sights on Qingzhu and Qinglan.
Qingzhu and Qinglan are both people who have fought on the battlefield with Princess Changping.
Qingzhu thought for a while and said, "The bloodthirsty alien race chose to attack Yanjing City at this time, because they already knew that our army that could resist their monsters here was not there, which means that they know us very well." It's just that I didn't expect those bloodthirsty alien races in the Northern Regions Royal City to reconcile, and naturally I didn't expect Orion to come back with mecha soldiers. But since they are so bold to come, they must be prepared, so I think even if we have more mechs, we still have to be careful to deal with them, in case they still have a backhand! ”
"I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people we send out to ask for help, and even if they do, it will not quench their thirst. So I think it's best for us to send men and horses to station the Xilin Fortress and Yanjing City outside the city as horns for each other. Qinglan said.
Princess Changping nodded and said, "That's very good, which of you wants to lead the troops?" ”
"When I was in the Northern Regions King City, I was stationed outside the city with mecha soldiers, so I'll go this time." Orion said.
As soon as Orion's voice fell, Qingzhu said, "You just came, so I'll go." ”
"I'm more familiar with mecha soldiers than you, besides, this city also needs people, and it's convenient for you and Qinglan to stay here! Just let me go. ”
"Yes! Let him go. Qinglan also said.
Princess Changping looked at Orion and then at Qinglan, and then said to Qingzhu: "Orion should go." You stay here and guard the city with me! ”
And they were commanded to go their own way.
"Be careful yourself." Qinglan looked at Orion and said.
"Don't worry. I haven't encountered anything in so many years. Isn't it just a few bloodthirsty monsters, nothing remarkable! Orion said with a big grin.
"Hmm!"
After Orion and Qinglan said a few words, they went their separate ways.
Orion led the mecha soldiers directly to the Xilin Fortress, and Qinglan began to assist Princess Changping in arranging defenses in the city.
There has been no war in Yanjing City for many years, and the sudden arrival of so many bloodthirsty monsters of different races really made the people of Yanjing City panic for a while. Fortunately, Shangguan Hao appeased the people in a timely manner, and repeatedly sent people to inform the people of Yanjing City: In the East China Sea, there is still Daxi Prefecture in the Northern Regions How to win against the bloodthirsty alien monsters. The people gradually became relieved, but they helped the army to build defenses.
Due to the destruction of the bloodthirsty alien race beforehand, the large defensive equipment in Yanjing City was basically destroyed. Princess Changping ordered Qingzhu to personally lead the team to carry out emergency repairs, and some of them were barely repaired. The rest of the ones couldn't be repaired at all in a short period of time, and Qingzhu had to give up. These repairs were placed around the city walls.
Orion led the mechs towards the Xilin Fortress. The Xilin Fortress is more than 30 miles away from Yanjing City, and it can be reached in less than an hour by a rapid march. But the biggest weakness of these mechs is the slow marching speed, but no matter how slow they are, they won't take half a day to arrive.
Although the scouts sent back and forth to tell them that they had not encountered bloodthirsty monsters along the way, Orion still moved forward cautiously.
"When did that forest appear in front of you?" Orion asked, pointing to a nearby wood.
"This, it doesn't seem to have been before?" One of the lieutenants next to him said.
"Tanma and here?" Orion said.
"Tanma has been probed a few times, and there are no ambushes in it!" Said the adjutant general.
"Protect the mechs and move forward carefully." Orion nodded.
The Mechs began to march into the woods.
"I always feel a little obedient." Orion said as he walked: "Speed up, go through this forest at full speed!" ”
"Yes!" The lieutenant commander of the soldiers accompanying the army hastened to lead the mechs through the woods.
At this time, all of Orion's mechs entered the woods.
Orion suddenly sensed something and glanced back.
The back is quiet, and there doesn't seem to be anything special. Orion turned his head, still feeling that something was wrong, and looked back again, and there was still silence behind him.
Orion hesitated and turned his head, but suddenly his eyes lit up, and he turned back again and said loudly: "Go back!" Return them all! ”
Although the lieutenant general beside Orion didn't know what the situation was, the habits he had developed on the battlefield over the years made him make a very correct move in the first place. He drew his weapon and stood beside Orion, and then shouted as well, "Retreat!" Go back! ”
The lieutenant general would not have thought at that time that as soon as he drew his weapon, a hidden weapon hit the Orion, and the saber he had just drawn out just blocked the hidden weapon that flew towards the Orion.
The hidden weapon that flew towards Orion was blocked, but the other soldiers were not so lucky. They were hit by hidden weapons and fell to the ground.
Orion was shocked, several waves of scouts had already explored this forest before, and there were no ambushes, but where did these hidden weapons come from? Orion didn't have time to think about it, so he had to withdraw from the forest first.
"Everyone hide behind the mechs and exit in order!" Orion said.
"Master Hou, this road doesn't seem right!" The lieutenant said, looking at the road in the woods.
Orion also noticed that the reason why he had made the troops retreat before was because he had seen the place he had passed before. The location of those trees has changed. It's clear that a formation has been artificially arranged here, and Orion and his mechs are already trapped here!
"It's not far from outside, don't panic! It's a big deal to cut down these trees! Orion said, looking outside.
