Chapter 920: Divine Beast Black Spotted Golden Leopard
Wooden bones are bundled, the royal palace.
The Somali king sat in the main hall, waiting for the report of victory on the front.
The Inhuman Abadi only offered the idea of "using the people as bait", but the Somali king turned it into a sophisticated tactical arrangement that successfully achieved a major reversal.
Just last night, the mysterious man contacted the Somali king again, promising that as long as Somalia repelled the first wave of expeditionary forces in Bactria, they would take decisive action to prevent Bactria's expedition to Somalia again.
It was precisely because of this that the Somali king did not even think of escaping.
His plan was seamless, and there was no chance of failure, and the Somali king was secretly excited at the thought of the supreme honor that would bring him from defeating the Great Xia Expeditionary Force.
As for the casualties of those civilians, who will blame them in the face of a great victory? The great deal is that the kingdom grants them martyrdom status, and it is enough to quell the turmoil.
At that time, he, the king of Somalia, will have supreme glory and power.
The Somali king almost burst out laughing at the thought of this.
"What a wonderful moment!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
At one o'clock in the afternoon.
The battle on the north and south sides outside the city has entered a white-hot stage, and the infantry divisions of the Somali Corps on both flanks have almost been disabled, and only the dragon-blood war cavalry is still struggling to support.
Especially in the south, the Dragon's Blood War Cavalry, under the leadership of the veteran Ma Teng, kept roaming among the Somali coalition forces, not giving the enemy a chance to divide and encircle, but causing huge casualties to the coalition forces.
The dragon-blooded war horse is worthy of its reputation as the ace army of Great Xia.
Fortunately, the coalition forces had a numerical advantage in the end, and although they could not defeat the dragon-blooded war horse, the dragon-blood war horse was never able to get out of trouble and went to the rescue of the Chinese army.
It seems that the war is going to be like this.
At this moment, the 20,000 navy under the command of Alvaro himself suddenly came to the outer circle of the battlefield. Upon arrival, the musketeers fired three volleys, inflicting heavy casualties on the coalition forces.
The triple strike is a classic arquebus shooting tactic, similar to the crossbow tactics of the Cold Weapon era. Because muskets can't shoot continuously, and reloading is very slow, they need to be more efficient.
In addition to battle damage, this kind of killing is more important than the psychological impact.
A coalition army never dreamed that reinforcements would arrive in Great Xia at this time, and they subconsciously thought that it was the Chinese army in Great Xia who came out of trouble and was so frightened that the souls of the dead were scared.
Dingqing looked at it, but it was the Great Xia Navy.
Second, this is the first time that Daxia has put the musketeer troops into the land battlefield in formation, and in the face of the murderous firearms, the Somali indigenous army is a little panicked.
There is no doubt that the arrival of the Bactria Navy completely disrupted the rhythm of the war of the Somali coalition forces. The trapped Ma Tengbu was even more shocked in his heart, and cooperated with the peripheral overseas to launch a more fierce charge against the coalition forces.
"Sons, let this group of barbarians see the edge of the dragon-blood war horse!"
As a veteran of the Three Kingdoms, Ma Teng is accustomed to referring to Han unexpected people as barbarians, which makes people helpless.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! β
The Dragonblood War Riders were originally a group of killing gods, how could they have been so aggrieved, they had long wanted to do a great job freely, and after receiving the order, they immediately launched a more ferocious charge against the coalition forces.
Being able to launch a cavalry charge with the enemy's ranks, such operations are also done by the Praetorian Guard.
For a time, the Somali coalition forces in the south fell into the dilemma of being caught between internal and external attacks, and their advantages were gone.
If they mobilized their forces to extinguish the outer Great Xia Navy, they might be bitten back by the Dragonblood Warhorse. If they concentrated on besieging the Dragonblood Warhorse, the Great Xia Navy would be able to bite them to pieces from the periphery.
It's terrible!
The situation in the south is turning in favor of the Great Xia Army.
At the same time, the Great Xia Central Army also made a move.
Di Qing deserved to be a famous general, panicked but not confused, he ordered the Chinese army to be divided into two, moving to the north and south respectively, vacating the middle area and allowing the people of the royal city to pass.
For example, if the six levels are put together to form a huge flood outlet.
In this way, the surging crowd poured towards the rear of the army like a tidal wave, alleviating the riot at the scene.
At the same time, Di Qing ordered to resolutely crack down on the strangers among the people and not give them a chance to create riots again.
Even if there is an occasional accidental injury, it is not hesitated.
In addition to solving the problems of the common people, Di Qing paid more attention to the situation of the battle on the north and south flanks. The three divisions of the Dragon's Blood War Cavalry stationed in the Chinese army were ordered, and under the leadership of Lu Bu, they quietly assembled on the north and south sides.
Di Qing's order to Lu Bu was not to let the dragon-blooded war cavalry immediately enter the northern and southern battlefields, but also to cut into the north and south city gates and completely block the retreat of the Somali coalition army.
As long as the coalition forces are trapped outside the city, this battle will be won in Great Xia.
Lu Bu received the order and led his troops to the two wings in a roundabout way.
The poisonous plan of the Somali king is being dismembered by Di Qing little by little. The Somali king didn't know anything about it, and he was dreaming about it in the palace.
β¦β¦β¦β¦
In the alleyway not far from the palace, the marines had quietly assembled. They were waiting, waiting for the flying squadron to finish bombing the palace to distract the Janissaries.
At present, the Marine Corps of the Atlantic Fleet has only one brigade, more than half of its members remain at the Moroccan headquarters, and no more than 1,000 people have come with the fourth and fifth formations.
It was not easy to break through the palace guarded by 2,000 guards.
Fortunately, there is the cooperation of the flight squadron.
Just as Γlvaro was leading the navy to support the Martens, the flying squadron had quietly arrived over the palace.
For the flight squadron, this is also an unusual mission, because this is the first time that Daxia has carried out fixed-point precision bombing, which is very different from the previous indiscriminate bombing.
The task of the squadron is to break up the Janissaries as much as possible, and preferably to inflict some damage.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
In order to mobilize the Janissaries, the first round of bombardment was concentrated in the main hall of the palace.
"What's that?" The Praetorian Guard is unknown.
"Oh no, the palace is on fire!"
"Quick, Your Majesty is still in the palace!"
The Praetorian Guards were shocked and assembled from the various guards of the palace towards the main hall.
The Somali king was dreaming when he was suddenly frightened by the bombardment and fell from his throne, his face turned pale, and he asked in horror: "What happened?" β
The Praetorian Guards guarding outside the door rushed into the main hall as soon as possible and said, "Your Majesty, there is a monster attack in the air, please move immediately." β
"Flying monsters?" The Somali king didn't know why, "Hurry, retreat!" β
The Somali king is expecting a big victory, but he doesn't want to lose his life at this time. Guarded by the Praetorian Guards, the Somali king quietly moved to a basement of the royal palace for refuge.
The Somali king, who was hiding in the basement, felt a hint of unease in his heart for the first time.
"Where did the monster come from?"
The Somali king did not dare to think about it, and the battlefield seemed to have undergone changes that he had not expected.
β¦β¦
The Praetorian Guards who rushed to hear the news were busy extinguishing the fire in the main hall, and the flying squadron was in the arms of the flying squadron, and the flying team did not throw incendiary bombs on the roof of the main hall, but threw bombs one after another into the dense crowd of Janissaries.
"Boom! Rumble! Rumble! β
Where have the Somali Janissaries seen this, they were bombed and scurried with heavy losses.
"Howl~~~"
At this moment, a leopard cry came from the depths of the palace, and this leopard was not nearby, it was the sacred beast of Somalia, the African black spotted golden leopard.
The palace was attacked, and the beast finally woke up.
But I saw that this golden leopard was a man tall, with a body length of nearly four meters, three or four times the size of an ordinary adult leopard, with a uniform body and black spots on its golden fur, which was very noble.
The spots on the head are small and dense, and the spots on the back are dense and larger.
"Howl~~~"
I saw the golden leopard in the distance spread out its bloody mouth, spit out a white light bullet, and hit a mimic aircraft with a "boom" with lightning speed, which exploded in the air, destroying the plane and killing people.
It's terrifying.
"Good!"
The palace guards applauded, and their morale was greatly boosted.
The squadron leader of the flight squadron came from the flight training base outside Shanhai City, and was one of the first batch of pilots in Daxia.
"Go to the three, and lead the golden leopard away."
"No!"
Without any instructions from the squadron leader, the three mimic aircraft broke away from the team, formed a triangular formation, and flew towards the golden leopard, ready to avenge their comrades.
As a divine beast, the golden leopard is its nirvana, but it can't be used frequently. At the same time, the flight squadron is on guard this time, and it is not so easy to be hit.
But a divine beast is a divine beast, and in the process of approaching, another mimic aircraft was shot down.
"Blow up this brute!"
The two surviving pilots, with red eyes, dropped bombs one after another, one of which exploded on the back of the golden leopard, sending flesh and blood flying.
The golden leopard is a divine beast in the end, with thick skin and rough flesh, resting on ordinary people, a high bomb is enough to send it to hell, but for the golden leopard, it is just a skin wound.
One of the young pilots saw that the golden leopard was still majestic, and wanted to drop the bomb again. Fortunately, his teammates were calmer and said, "It's important to complete the task!" β
"Yes!" The young pilot suddenly realized that the most important thing at the moment was to lure this beast away, not to get angry with another beast.
The two flying machines flew into the depths of the palace in an alternating spiral, dropping incendiary bombs as they flew, burning down the palace.
When the golden leopard saw it, it really caught up, and there were two more light bullets in a row, but unfortunately all of them failed.
The golden leopard is a divine beast, it has long been psychic, and with spiritual wisdom, seeing that there is no way to take the two "big birds", he is very angry, takes a deep breath, violently opens his bloody mouth, and spits out a light bullet that is more than twice as big as before.
What's even more bizarre is that this light bullet is not only extremely fast, but also can track, turn in the air, as if controlled by the golden leopard, it is really amazing.
This time, the aircraft is in a catastrophe.
With a "boom", the young pilot and his aircraft exploded in the air, and the aftermath of the explosion staggered the other aircraft, almost crashing.
The most important thing is that the wing of the aircraft is so badly damaged that it can't fly far.
Kill two birds with one stone!
The golden leopard is really smart, and it is also very vindictive, and it was the young pilot who threw the bomb on its back before, and he did not want to be remembered by the golden leopard, so he became the priority target.
