When they heard the news, the first reaction of all the people of the Imperials was to not believe their ears. Whether it was when Richard just started the longitudinal line project, or after the establishment of the Crimson Duchy, Sarenwell has always been the most staunch main battle faction, and he advocated the power of the empire to strangle the Crimson Duchy in the cradle. But he had just been captured, so why did he turn against him and become Richard's commander-in-chief?

For a time, the whole empire was scolding, and everyone was denouncing Sarenwell's cowardice and betrayal. On the other hand, the duel between the two famous generals of the empire in the past also touched people's hearts.

The magic sandbox in Richard's carriage changes every day, representing the dark red torrent of the Crimson Duchy, which is flowing all the way across the imperial land, along the most direct and unobstructed avenue to the imperial capital.

On the way to the march, there were many dark trickles rushing in, trying to block the progress of the principality's army, but whether it was an ambush, a sneak attack, an interception or a strong guerrilla sneak attack, it could not affect the progress of the principality's army in the slightest. Richard's army marched six hours a day, a total of sixty kilometers and then camped and rested, and the speed was not moving. Anyone who dares to provoke, whether it is the strong or the army, will come and go.

Finally, when the army of the Crimson Duchy marched in front of the Godwee Pass, it encountered its biggest challenge since invading the Iron Triangle Empire.

Less than two hundred kilometers southwest of the imperial capital, there was a not too high but extremely steep Extreme Winter Mountains, which constituted a natural barrier to the empire. There is only one natural fracture in the Arctic Winter Mountains. The location of this fracture is very abrupt, about ten kilometers wide, and the two walls are steep cliffs nearly a thousand meters high, which does not look like natural terrain at all, as if it has been split by some real ancient titan.

In the legend of the Iron Triangle Empire, the ancient Titans were the enemies of the gods, and there is a legend that a certain god fell here, hence the name God Cry Pass. It is also the only natural passage in the Extreme Winter Mountains.

Before and after the Divine Cry Pass, there is a thoroughfare, and there is no danger to defend.

On Richard's magic sand table, it is shown that many of the main armies of the empire are gathering towards the Waiping Mountain Pass, and the army that has been assembled has exceeded 200,000 people, and more legions are being assembled. Most of the empire's armies were mobilized, and even the guards in other secondary directions were not bothered.

In Richard's consciousness, the scenes that have been passed back layer by layer have been put together into a panorama of the Weeping Mountain Pass, and it will be updated three times a day in the morning, noon and evening.

There were originally ruins of a small fortress in the Shenwai Pass. It was once the gateway to southern Xinjiang in the early days of the empire, but as the territory expanded, it became more and more hinterland, and the fortress at the mountain pass was gradually abandoned. But now in Richard's mind, tens of thousands of warriors were busy on the ruins, trying to rebuild the castle.

Richard looked at the magic sand table and said, "Li Shilongtu can't shrink out of this turtle!"

Sarenwell, who was on the other side, nodded and said, "His style is steady, and he can win battles that can be won by one qiē." Until he can't figure out the strength of his opponent, he will prioritize defense. ”

Richard said, "Didn't you say in the Empire that if you want to win against me, you need five times as many troops as me. Then how many troops do you think Li Shilongtu will use to fight me?"

"Half a million, at least. Sarenwell replied very quickly.

Richard was a little surprised, and said, "More than six times me? Li Shilongtu is not afraid of losing face?"

"He's more afraid of failure. ”

Richard laughed, flicked his index finger, and a little red light on the magic map flickered, then expanded, and finally pulled into a palm-sized water mirror, and the ruined castle was almost formed.

Sarenwell stared at the picture in the water mirror, his face showed no expression, and then heard Richard say lightly: "But this time, no matter how many troops he gathers, he will fail." The gap between Noland and Farrow cannot be filled quantitatively. ”

Sarenwell

Seven days later, the vanguard of the Crimson Duchy's army finally arrived at the Crying Pass. At this time, the Divine Cry Pass had become a fortress in less than ten days.

Nearly 400,000 troops have flooded the passes, and new legions are coming. A wooden fence was erected around the pass, and watching the logs glow in the sunlight was obviously magical. However, what makes people speechless is that there is no gate built on this fence. Obviously, Li Shilongtu had already made up the idea that he couldn't shrink, at least until he had gathered enough troops, he didn't plan to come out.

In front of the Divine Cry Pass, Richard's troops at the moment were only 80,000, but the 400,000 imperial troops in the mountain pass were in a posture of shrinking and defending. On the first day, Richard let the army rest, but only sent Sarenwell out to humiliate Li Shilongtu.

Under the amplification magic, Sarenwell's voice resounded throughout the Valley of the Weeping Gods, and perhaps no one in the entire empire knew more about Li Shilongtu than Sarenwell, and knew how to hit his prestige better.

Sarenwell emphasized only one thing, since the early days of the Empire, no marshal has cowered in the presence of superior forces. The Empire has always recognized only the victories that come with attack.

Richard didn't care about the effect of Sorenwell's heart-to-heart battle, just let him show his face in front of the imperial army, and show that the news of Richard's defection was true.

The war was a fateful battle for the Iron Triangle Empire, but for Richard, it was only the beginning of a series of wars. Richard also needed to use the war to test many of the new tactics he had been thinking about for a long time.

In the early morning of the next day, a large number of reconnaissance elite flying beasts left the principality's camp and hovered over the entire Valley of the Divine Cry. All the movement in the valley could no longer be hidden from Richard's eyes. Now it is an open secret that these flying beasts are Scout Monsters belonging to Richard. However, they flew at an altitude of hundreds of meters, and ordinary archers could not threaten them at all, and the high-level archers who could shoot them were unwilling to waste their precious fighting spirit at this time. Moreover, they are also worried that this is a trick to lure the enemy, and after revealing their location, they will be attacked by suicide from above.

The Imperial people's understanding of these Scouting Demonic Beasts was obviously stuck in the stage of Faro itself. Flying monsters are difficult to domesticate creatures, they appear on the battlefield, generally cooperate with tamers for assassination and directional attack missions, the intelligence is not high, for reconnaissance, it is very remarkable to describe the situation of the camp in a very crude way. If they knew that every qiē that the flying beasts saw would reappear in Richard's consciousness, then no matter how much Li Shilongtu spent, he must also knock them all down.

The desolate trumpets sounded incessantly, and they whimpered as if they were the murmurs of death.

Richard stood on a split brain and flew high into the air, looking down on the entire battlefield condescendingly. Among the Imperial Army, there are also Zhenguo powerhouses and great mages who have risen into the air one after another, declaring their own existence.

Richard ignored the provocative gesture of the opposite person, but slowly raised his hand and pointed forward. At the same time, the instructions in the consciousness rushed to each node like a flowing water.

The curtain of war has begun!

In the military formation of the Crimson Duchy, thousands of humanoid knights rode forward, approaching the barrier of the mountain pass. When the humanoid knight entered the range of the bow and arrows, a sudden burst of drums sounded in the pass, and then a black cloud-like rain of arrows flew into the sky, drew an arc, and then fell accurately above the humanoid knight's head.

All the humanoid knights instantly lifted the tower shield hanging from the side of the demon knight and held it above their heads. The tower shield that looked like a door panel suddenly covered most of the upper and lower parts of the humanoid knight's body.

The arrows in the sky fell sharply and slammed into the surface of the tower shield! But most of the sharp arrows were only nailed to the tower shield, and could not penetrate the tower shield at all. Occasionally, sharp arrows penetrate through the gaps between the towers and shields, making it difficult to penetrate the armor of the humanoid knight. The Demon Rider is also covered in armor, and more importantly, the internal structure of the classes that this brood focuses on is very different from that of ordinary creatures, and it can even be said that their outer layer of flesh is another protective measure.

On the high tower in the mountain pass, Li Shilongtu, who was full of silver and gray hair, suddenly clenched the handrail and almost got up from his seat!

Fortunately, decades of cultivation made him calm down and did not show drastic movements. He deeply knew that his every move at this moment would affect the morale of the entire army. However, seeing the scene just now, he couldn't calm down.

That wave of arrows was the stunt of the Imperial longbowmen, using black iron armor-piercing arrows, and a little bit of fighting energy was added to shoot out. Each qualified longbowman can only shoot three such arrows. The power of the armor-piercing arrow can pierce through the tower shield or the whole body plate armor.

However, just now 20,000 imperial longbowmen fired a volley, but it was like planting a clump of artemisia grass on the plain composed of tower shields, not many of them could break the shield, and the humanoid knights shot down were less than fifty horsemen!

Li Shilongtu was able to keep his composure, but the staff officers and generals around him exclaimed one after another. The tower shield in the hands of the humanoid knight can only be afforded by a jazz-level person in the Iron Triangle Empire. Could it be that Richard gave each of the five thousand knights of the striker with a suit that would be the envy of the Jazz?

Li Shilongtu shouted in a deep voice: "Panic what! Shoot again! Continue to shoot with maximum power!"

The humanoid knights were still in a neat formation, approaching at a constant speed. The commander of the longbowmen quickly calculated the new positional parameters and shouted: "Lift three, power three, shoot!"

Two rains of arrows shot out in succession, and in the end less than two hundred knights fell. And the 20,000 imperial longbowmen were all pale and in dire need of rest. However, just as the commander was about to let the longbowmen rest, the humanoid knights suddenly lowered their tower shields, bent their bows and arrows, and returned the rain of arrows to the imperial longbowmen.

Five thousand men and twenty thousand men are not at all comparable, but the long arrows fired by these humanoid knights are very special. Behind the arrow was a fist-thick cylinder that was still emitting black smoke.
