Chapter 389 Sky Shadow Breaks Star Luo (1) (20000/20000)

Chapter 389 Sky Shadow Breaks Star Luo (1) (2000020000)

After hearing this, Lu Yuan exhaled, "Sure enough, he is a very strong opponent."

"But it just so happens that I want to use this battle to announce to the mainland the power of our Sky Shadow Army!" He declared confidently.

It was as if he had already secured victory.

"General, have you already thought of a strategy to defeat the enemy?" Suddenly, Cheng Qixiao and others frowned and asked.

"I've thought about it." Lu Yuan said with a chuckle.

His eyes were full of confidence!

the next day.

Star Luo Empire Central Military Department.

"Why has there been no news for so long?" General Baxia frowned heavily.

When he devised the strategy of "smuggling across the country and stealing homes directly," he actually expected that the mountains were rugged, dangerous, and steep, which would take a lot of time.

"Have they already failed?" Dai Mubai pursed his lips and said.

"Impossible. I'm not surprised that Leng Yu (Jackdaw's real name)'s army is gone, but it's impossible for Leng Yu and those flying soul masters to fall to death in the mountains." Gao Zhong frowned and said, "Even if the entire army Even if they are destroyed and the operation is cancelled, their hundred or so soul masters can’t just disappear!”

This round trip only lasted three or four days at most, and now five days have passed!

They had already started the smuggling plan when the army launched their first frontal attack. There is still no news, which is really unreasonable.

"Could it be that our plan was discovered?" Dai Mubai suddenly became worried, "So Fatty and the others were ambushed?"

"Their strength has not been reduced, and they have even gone to the battlefield with everyone wounded, so they can barely withstand our offensive. How could they have extra troops to ambush them." Gao Zhong frowned and said, "Your Highness, don't worry too much, at this time , either they failed and came back, or they..."

A light flashed in his eyes, "They have succeeded!"

"But it was successful, why didn't the enemy make any movement?" Dai Mubai asked, "According to the original expectation, shouldn't they have to go back to rescue Hull City in the rear?"

"Hull City must be rescued, otherwise there will be chaos behind them, and they will be sitting there waiting to die." Gao Zhong thought for a while and said, "This is what we thought at the beginning. It is impossible for them not to rescue, but The art of war is ever-changing, and when someone asks a question, someone tries to give a different answer."

"I think the other party may be using a delaying strategy!"

"A delaying strategy?" Dai Mubai was puzzled.

"Once they go back to reinforce the rear, the troops on the front will not be enough to resist our offensive, so the follow-up to this plan is that as long as their troops are dispersed, we will attack with all our strength and occupy Zhennang Pass." Gao Zhong seemed to be in class. Generally speaking, he slowly said to Dai Mubai.

"The other party may also know this. Although in my opinion, no one in the Tiandou Empire except Ge Long can compete with me, but after learning that the rear was raided, it should not be difficult to understand the ins and outs of this strategy. .”

"It shouldn't be difficult to push through the process with the answers, so they also understand. If they go back directly to rush for reinforcements, we will definitely attack with all our strength. By then, Zhennanguan Pass will be in danger."

"At this time, if it were me, I would pretend that the front line is not moving, and actually secretly dispatch the army to go back for reinforcements."

"So... the current Zhennanguan Pass is probably an empty shell?!" Dai Mubai was immediately overjoyed and said.

"To suppress Leng Yu and the others, at least 10,000 troops would have to be dispatched back, and the other side was probably very smart. They did not dispatch 10,000 troops all at once, but in two groups, so that the troops on the front line would not be dispersed significantly. Gao Zhong frowned and said.

"No... we should go back in three groups to rush for reinforcements! Otherwise, five thousand people would be too obvious, and three thousand people would be less obvious. Plus there are civilians transporting food who can disguise themselves."

Gao Zhong understood, "So it's not that Leng Yu didn't reply, it's that they have succeeded, and the Tiandou Empire doesn't seem to be all mediocre."

"But compared to me, he is still a bit immature." He sneered and said, "Your Highness, tomorrow you can send a hundred thousand troops to attack and test it. If the opponent can't even stop the hundred thousand troops, it proves that they have made arrangements. Take some of the army back!"

"Launch a general attack when the time comes and capture Zhennang Pass!"

"I understand! General Baxia!" Dai Mubai said excitedly.

…

On the third day.

Dai Mubai and Gao Zhong looked at the Wanli Pass in front of them. Sure enough, when they looked carefully this time, they found that the number of troops at Zhennan Pass seemed to be much smaller than three days ago.

Even one of the three soul kings who were more conspicuous in Zhennan Pass was missing today, missing the middle-aged leader whose martial soul was a spear.

Dai Mubai looked surprised, while Gao Zhong looked calm, but what they were thinking about was: Sure enough! Just like they thought yesterday.

Zhennanguan has sent troops back to support the rear, and now they are being attacked from both sides!

"Get ready to attack! All forward troops and equipment troops are deployed, feint attack!" Gao Zhong issued the order in an orderly manner.

"General Baxia, with this situation, isn't it possible to conclude that the opponent's defensive strength in the pass is empty? Why is it still just a feint attack?" Dai Mubai was a little puzzled at the side.

"Soldiers, it's a national matter, we can't be so rash!" Gao Zhong said in a deep voice at this time, "What if they set an ambush?"

It can only be said that Gao Chong is indeed worthy of being called a famous general in the world. His strategy and patience are to a level that is difficult for others to achieve.

In fact, sometimes what makes famous generals better than ordinary generals, besides their extraordinary force, is their caution that ordinary people don't have.

"If they want to take on the continuous onslaught of this 100,000-strong army, they must use all the strength of the 100,000-strong defenders in the city. Even if they actually sent someone to ambush us, they will be forced back to the city wall by the siege at this moment! Gao Zhong said with bright eyes.

"I don't believe they can endure that much!"

Soon, the Xingluo Empire's army rushed to the Zhennanguan city wall in accordance with Gao Zhong's order.

Surprisingly, in this Star Luo Empire attack, the Zhennanguan garrison no longer defended it as thoroughly as before. On the contrary, it was visible to the naked eye that the Star Luo Empire's attack simply caused the Zhennanguan garrison to retreat.

And it was obvious that the Zhennanguan garrison was not pretending to be defeated and retreating, but was really unable to defeat them and left many corpses behind.

The casualty rate of the Zhennanguan garrison increased explosively, but under the city wall, less than two hundred soldiers came for reinforcements.

And looking at their uniforms, they look like the soldiers guarding the city gate.

"Get on the assault vehicle! Battering ram!" Gao Zhong saw this and shouted, "The soldiers guarding the city gate have been forced onto the city wall, and their city is empty and desolate! Your Highness, you can give the order!"

"Send my order and the whole army will attack! Take Zhennanguan directly for me!" Dai Mubai shouted quickly.

"Yes!" The herald immediately walked off.

Gao Chong also stood up at this time, picked up the helmet lying aside, and slowly put it on his head.

"General Baxia... what are you..." Dai Mubai's eyes were full of surprise.

"As a general, how can I stay behind the army at such an important moment?" Gao Zhong said boldly, "I want to lead my soldiers into battle to kill the enemy! Win this victory!"

"Boys, come with me to the battlefield!" He looked at the senior officers of the Star Luo Empire army behind him and shouted.

"Yes! General!" These senior officers who followed Gao Chong obviously trusted Gao Chong. They immediately picked up their helmets and put them on their heads, and responded in unison.

"Then I..." Dai Mubai was immediately eager to try. He also wanted to go to the battlefield.

"Your Highness, you are not strong enough to go on the battlefield." Gao Zhong shook his head and stopped.

Nowadays, Dai Mubai is still a soul sect with a noble status. How can he easily go to the battlefield?

In the original article, Dai Mubai was able to go to the battlefield against Wuhundian because at that time, his strength improved by leaps and bounds in the Poseidon assessment and reached the level of Contra.

Contra-level strength is enough to protect oneself on the battlefield.

But now he is only a soul sect and the crown prince of the Star Luo Empire, so Gao Zhong naturally cannot let him go to the battlefield.

"Okay then." Dai Mubai said angrily.

"Education Committee Fu and Education Committee Zhao, please protect His Highness." Gao Zhong said to Flanders and Zhao Wuji behind Dai Mubai.

"Don't worry about this." Flanders said with a smile, "We will protect Mubai."

Gao Dian nodded, said no more, and stepped onto the battlefield wearing armor and dragging a bright red cloak.

Behind him, all the high-ranking officers of the Star Luo Empire were following him, preparing to share the great military merit of the capture of Zhennang Pass.

…

"Ha-! Crash!"

On a four-wheeled iron-wood cart, a hard and extremely thick tree trunk was fixed to the cart, and then pushed back and forth by the soldiers behind it, it crashed into the huge city gate of Zhennan Pass.

This is a special prop used to break through city gates in the cold weapon era. It is called "rushing car".

Dozens of soldiers pushed this huge ramming vehicle until it hit the city gate in front of them.

Everyone felt extremely relaxed this time.

It was different from what happened before today. Every time I hit the city gate before today, I felt a reaction force behind the city gate.

But today, the city gate has no reaction force like rebounding, so it is naturally very relaxed.

"Ha-! Crash!"

…

Under the command, the soldiers attacked the city gate with rams, and the city gate of Zhennanguan kept making crumbling sounds.

In front of the city gate, the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops of the Star Luo Empire were ready to march at any time, and General Gao Zhong, the underlord, was waiting quietly in the center of the army.

Finally, the gate of Zhennanguan let out its final wail, and burst open amid a burst of cheers and the sound of broken wood!

"Soldiers! Charge me!" Gao Chong ordered angrily.

"Come on!" The soldiers of the Star Luo Empire burst into loud cheers, because in their eyes, they had already won this war.

They only went in to get the fruits of their victory.

…

"Defense may not last until the end." Lu Yuan looked at everyone and said, "Although Zhennan Pass is the most powerful pass in the world, the disparity in strength between us and the enemy is too great. Even if we add the 50,000 Tianying Army, and The current soldiers you have, the number of troops you can invest in city defense is only 130,000!"

"Occupying a geographical advantage on the city wall will only lead to a tug-of-war with the opponent. We may be able to hold on if this drags on, but the cost will be too high."

"Then what should we do?" the Zhennan Pass guard said in a deep voice, "If we can't defend the capital, we can't go out to fight, right?"

"No..." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, "Let's come in and fight!"

…

The infantry army of the Star Luo Empire took the lead in rushing into the Zhennan Pass. The thirty thousand soldiers at the front had already entered first, but at this moment...

"Boom——!" A deafening sound of heavy objects falling to the ground attracted everyone's attention.

Gao Zhong looked around and found that in the middle of the huge city gate that had been breached in the south gate of the town, a huge black iron block suddenly fell, blocking the city gate and killing a few unlucky people!

"No! We've fallen into a trap!" Gao Chong shouted angrily, "Retreat! Get out quickly!"

…

"Their original plan was to force us to send troops back to defend, but I saw through it and the surprise attack force was all killed." Lu Yuan said, "But although we saw through this plan, their Bian probably doesn’t know that I ruined his plan.”

"So, let's play it safe." Ning Rongrong said with a smile.

"That's right, but reality is fiction and fiction is reality. To deal with such an old fox, you have to not act so stupid, otherwise it will be very troublesome if he is suspicious and doesn't fall for it." Lu Yuan said with a smile again, "I can use Two days to lure this old fox into his trap.”

"Lure them in!"

"Let's close the door and beat the dog!"

…

Outside the city gate, even if the line of sight was cut off by the Black Iron Gate, the soldiers of the Star Luo Empire could hear the wails of the more than 30,000 soldiers inside.

They could also hear the continuous knocking on the black iron door. It was obvious that they were desperate to the extreme after cutting off their escape route.

After all, not everyone can be called Xiang Yu, and he can sink the boat with one move, and not everyone can be Han Xin, who can fight against the odds with another move.

After half an hour, the wailing of more than 30,000 soldiers finally stopped.

But everyone knew what the cessation of the wailing meant.

…

"The two days are just enough for me to make a black iron gate. We place it on the inside of the city wall and deliberately let them destroy the original city gate. When they come in, some of their troops will come in. We close the iron gate and they will Lamb to be slaughtered!" Lu Yuan continued.

"Impossible!" At this time, it was the Zhennan Pass guard again. He frowned, "At this time, it is impossible for us to create a metal gate in such a short time."

"It's not us..." Lu Yuan smiled slightly, the fifth soul ring behind him lit up, and he touched the long wooden table in front of him with his hand, and the long table instantly emitted a metallic color.

"it's me."

…

More than 30,000 elite soldiers were lost in one fell swoop, which was more casualties than the Star Luo Empire had suffered during the two days of siege.

The Star Luo Empire only lost more than 10,000 soldiers during the seven-day siege. There were even more injured, but only about 20,000 soldiers.

But such a sudden attack is enough to be worth the casualties of seven days of siege. How can this not make Gao Chong feel distressed.

At this time, not only were the 30,000 soldiers who entered lost, but bad news came from the city wall at this moment.

"Report!" The scout quickly stepped forward to report, "Many reinforcements from the Tiandou Empire appeared on the city wall, and they used crossbows that could fire continuously. We are no match for the enemy. They have all been shot down!"

"What?! Reinforcements from the Tiandou Empire?!" Gao Zhong couldn't help but stare, "Which family's army, crossbows... is the Yan family?"

"No, their flag is...Shadow!"

"Ying?" Gao Chong couldn't help but frown, "Who is this? Why haven't I heard of it?"

…

"Their total strength is probably around 300,000, right?" Lu Yuan looked at Cheng Qixiao.

"It's basically confirmed. If there are any false reports, I'm willing to deal with them according to military law!" Cheng Qixiao nodded and said.

"Okay! If it is true, I will go to your majesty in person to ask for your reward!" Lu Yuan said with a smile, "With three hundred thousand troops, the other side's recent casualties are similar to ours. We have suffered about more than 20,000 casualties. , nearly thirty thousand, the other party is attacking the city, definitely no less than us."

"Thirty thousand casualties. When the time comes, we will encircle and eliminate at least 20,000 people on the other side. They cannot ignore the rear. Then we will exchange casualties for casualties in the battle above to defend the city. Then the gap in strength between us will be much smaller."

"But their army is still larger than ours." The Zhennan Pass guard general was puzzled.

"But our morale is strong at this time." Lu Yuan said calmly, "We are full of energy, and then it will weaken again, and three times we will be exhausted. If we are exhausted, we will be full, so we still have the strength to fight!"

…

"Retreat! Retreat! Temporarily evacuate!" Gao Zhong said in a deep voice.

Although he was also very annoyed at this moment, he knew that he had been tricked and that the other party knew his plan and plotted against him.

And the biggest reason was that he didn't know that reinforcements were coming from Zhennanguan so soon.

All the detailed work was done in advance, but they did not spread any information about the newly-established Tianying Army.

In fact, this was Lu Yuan's intention. In this era where information transmission is too backward, isn't it easy to hide important information?

But no matter how angry he was, he knew that he couldn't act on his own initiative on the battlefield.

So he decided to evacuate.

But at this moment, the tall black iron door suddenly turned into countless sawdust and exploded!

The wood chips that broke through the air flew at high speed and became murderous weapons.

"Puff——"

…

The infantry unit at the front of the army was directly pierced by sawdust, and blood holes appeared one after another on their bodies.

Gao Zhong reacted very quickly. He couldn't hold back anymore and took action directly.

"Possessed by a martial spirit!"

In an instant, a turtle shell with countless scales appeared out of thin air on Gao Chong's body, and his head also became longer, shaped like a river turtle, but looking like a dragon's head.

His limbs became extremely strong, and dragon claws were transformed into his hands, while an earthy yellow tail with a snake head appeared behind him.

Yalong's martial spirit - Baxia, is one of the powerful martial spirits that is not inferior to Gelong's Yaizhen martial spirit, although it is far inferior to the purebred dragon's martial spirit - the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Rex.

However, it takes into account the characteristics of Xuanwu's defense and the powerful attack power of dragon spirit, making Gao Zhong extremely powerful.

The eight soul rings at Gao Zhong's feet showed that he was not as famous as Ge Long in vain.

The seventh soul ring under his feet lit up, "The seventh soul skill! Ba Xia's true form!"
