Chapter 297 Cannibalism
The weather near the end of the year was extremely cold. It was night, and over the Chilong Gorge, there was heavy snow falling on the ground, and soon there was half a foot of snow on the ground!
Inside the Zhenwei Legion, all the soldiers in the tents were shaken awake one by one, and told not to make any noise, there is a secret mission to be carried out!
Braving the severe cold, these soldiers had to crawl out of the warm blankets, and did not dare to complain loudly, so they could only start to dress silently according to the military order.
Soon, the Zhenwei Legion gathered all the troops, all of them were fully armed, and they even moved out the siege ladder!
"All the brothers of the Zhenwei Legion! In such a cold weather, we came all the way to support the Zhongwu Legion, but what happened?! How did they treat us brothers and soldiers of the Legion?! Let us fight in such cold weather. , while sleeping in the wilderness, they even wantonly shot and killed our soldiers! There are too many things to write about!"
"Tonight, many soldiers from the Zhenwei Legion came to General Ben in droves, asking me to seek justice for the dead brother! After discussing with the lieutenants, we decided to seek justice from the Zhongwu Legion tonight. Fair enough, if they don't hand over the soldier who killed our brother, we'll fuck him!"
Du Zhennan stood on the top of a small hill and shouted loudly towards the Zhenwei Army below, especially when he yelled the last sentence, bursts of applause erupted from below. These applauding soldiers were actually arranged by them on purpose of.
Originally, many veterans were full of doubts. Didn't they just die? Do you need to be so exaggerated? ! However, under the outrage of the crowd, these veterans also followed suit and applauded loudly.
So, one hour before dawn, all the soldiers of the Zhenwei Army began to press down on the Zhongwu Army's garrison!
When the number exceeds 10,000, there will be a sea of people, and the Zhenwei Legion, which reaches about 300,000, is so mighty and overwhelming. The momentum is quite amazing!
Since this is a siege battle, the cavalry is basically useless, one hundred thousand cavalry are arranged behind, and the two hundred thousand infantry of the Zhenwei Army press forward!
Everyone received the order, not to speak in the middle, try not to make too much noise and so on!
This order made many people feel a little weird. If it was just to find a place, how could it be necessary to have such a big scene, and how could it be necessary to ask for a silence in the middle as if it were going to a war? !
However, the general order is hard to disobey, all the soldiers can only obediently touch the Zhongwu Army's garrison!
The defenders of the Zhongwu Army, who had received strict orders a long time ago, immediately blew the enemy attack alarm and lit the torches they had prepared long ago when they saw the dense figures emerging from the snow in the distance!
"Kill!"
"Come on!"
Among the crowd of the Zhenwei Legion who had been groping in the dark snow for a long time, there was a sudden burst of shouting and killing, and a large number of soldiers raised their weapons high and rushed towards the camp wall of the Zhongwu Legion's garrison.
Many soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion were stunned. Whoever dared to retreat when the army was charging would definitely be trampled to death!
Thus, such a funny scene took place in the Zhenwei Legion. A large number of unwilling soldiers, almost like being driven away, rushed towards the Zhongwu Legion's garrison!
Soon, the soldiers of the Zhenwei Army rushed into the bow and arrow range of the Zhongwu Army, and a scene that many people couldn't believe happened. The arrow rain from the sky was more dense than the falling snowflakes.
Obviously, the Zhongwu Legion must have been prepared, otherwise, it would be impossible for the soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion to rush into the range and immediately shoot out a rain of arrows.
In an instant, a large number of soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion fell on the snow, and blood stained the pure white snow. Of course, only patches of black shadows could be seen in the darkness.
At this moment, all the soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion who were still sober understood that there must be a terrifying conspiracy behind this, and they were being counted against!
How can brother legions launch an all-out war to solve the problem for a little conflict? !
As a result, many soldiers chose to back down, especially some generals, and began to restrain their subordinates, preventing them from making do with it!
Over the years, no matter how much Du Zhennan changed his blood, he still couldn't do everything, and he couldn't replace all the Zhenwei legions with generals who wanted to rebel with him!
After all, rebellion is a big secret, and it is impossible to tell this secret out just by meeting someone who shows loyalty!
Unless you can control the most important things of this person, for example, the most important relatives, money and so on!
"Anyone who dares to retreat will be killed without mercy!" Behind the Wei Army, a hundred thousand cavalry began to dispatch. It turned out that this hundred thousand elite cavalry was the killer weapon that the Zhenwei Army had secretly prepared for several years to control the 200,000 cavalry. Executioner of infantry!
In order to rebel, the Fan family must have soldiers who are extremely loyal to themselves. Therefore, they need to build a secret army. The establishment of this army cannot be rushed at all, and a lot of confidential work needs to be done.
It is precisely because of this that they have not taken action for a long time, otherwise, these soldiers loyal to the Haotian Empire, how could they obey their orders and point the butcher knife at the brothers and soldiers of their own country? !
ah. . . ah. . .
After the retreating soldiers were beheaded by the cavalry behind, all the infantry of the Zhenwei Legion were dumbfounded. This method of killing retreating soldiers can only be seen on the real battlefield. They are collectively called—— team!
"God?! Who can tell me, what's going on?!" A veteran Zhenwei army officer who was cut down to the ground by the cavalry of the supervising team cried out sadly.
Before he could speak again, the war sabers of the cavalry of the supervisory team slashed down mercilessly again, and a headless corpse fell directly into the snow, with blood spurting wildly along its neck on the pure white snow.
The appearance of the supervisory team made many soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion start to panic, and they had to continue to rush into the area where the arrow rain kept falling. At this moment, the war was out of control!
Not long after hearing the sound of killing, Du Zhentian took many lieutenants to a main watchtower on the north camp wall, watching the tragic scene of the Zhenwei Army below, his heart was bleeding!
No matter which side is killed or injured, it is a great loss to the Haotian Empire. Unfortunately, war is so cruel!
Soon, the first batch of soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion finally rushed under the wall of the big camp. The siege battle had come to this point, and when it was time for hand-to-hand combat, the soldiers of the Zhongwu Legion, who had been fully prepared, skillfully moved the huge rolling stones Throw down the wall of the village, pour kerosene on the siege ladder, and shoot the bows and arrows at the soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion who are about to climb the wall!
Du Zhentian's preparations for the past year are now showing great results!
The original low northern camp wall was heightened to more than ten meters, and more than doubled in thickness, allowing the defenders on the camp wall to have more room to move and store more supplies at the same time!
In order to prepare for this defense, the emperor sponsored part of it with secret funds, and Du Zhentian also invested all the gold coins given by Du Long. In short, these preparations laid a solid foundation for today's victory.
After the siege ladders were ignited with kerosene, no soldiers dared to climb up with fire. It would not take long for the wooden siege ladders to be burned!
As time went by, the number of siege ladders became less and less, so Du Zhennan had to send people to the dense forest to cut down trees and make temporary siege ladders!
In this way, the rhythm of the entire siege battle became much weaker, and the defender became much more relaxed, and the sky gradually began to brighten!
In just over an hour, the Zhenwei Army on the siege side lost 10,000 to 20,000 people, and the defender also lost more than 3,000. The huge battle damage between the attack and the defense is very speechless.
There are two reasons for this result. One is that the soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion are obviously resistant to this inexplicable outbreak of war, and the other is that Du Zhentian's preparations over the past year have helped a lot!
It is not surprising that there are such exaggerated results!
As the sky brightened, the sky was still cloudy, and snowflakes kept falling from the sky. At this moment, the snow field outside the camp wall could be seen, which had turned brown-red.
It snowed heavily overnight, and the snow on the ground was getting thicker and thicker, which caused a lot of trouble for both the attacker and the defender. Of course, the most troubled party was the attacking side——Zhenwei Legion!
The thick snow made the siege soldiers move very slowly. As a result, they could only become the targets of the archers on the city wall, and their lives were constantly harvested by the bows and arrows.
But Du Zhennan, who was watching the battle from the rear of the Zhenwei Legion, watched his subordinates continue to die with a blank face. To be honest, as long as the 100,000 cavalry did not fail, he would not feel sorry for the 200,000 infantry even if they all died in battle.
He doesn't feel bad, but Du Zhentian's heart is bleeding!
He knew many soldiers and veterans of the Zhenwei Legion, who had dedicated their lives to the Zhenwei Legion of the Du family, and just like that, they fell into the hands of their own people one by one.
And the instigator of all this is Du Zhennan, who is watching a good show from afar!
"All the soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion, you must not be deceived by Du Zhennan. He has already colluded with the Blue Moon Empire. Is it worthwhile for you to work for him like this?! Don't you care about your relatives who are still in the Haotian Empire?! Don't you think so? Do you want your relatives to bear the burden of your treason?!" Du Zhentian finally couldn't help but shouted angrily, and his voice spread far away.
Down below, many soldiers of the Zhenwei Legion were suffocated in their attacks. Obviously, Du Zhentian's words had some effect!
"Don't listen to his nonsense! It was clearly the Zhongwu Army who killed us first, and they were the sinners who betrayed the Haotian Empire. Otherwise, why did they still refuse to let us enter the camp even though there was an order from the military department?!" Du Zhennan retorted loudly.
Just when Du Zhentian was about to refute, an angry howl came from the distant sky: "Du Zhennan! You betrayed the empire, and you dare to speak nonsense here?!"
Flying all night, Du Long rode a big lion, and Mr. Du finally arrived at the scene of the confrontation between the two armies in Chilong Gorge. Seeing their flying in the air, everyone knew that the spiritual existence of the Haotian Empire had finally intervened.
Du Zhennan knew that Du Fengzhong was besieged by spiritual masters and should have died in the capital. After seeing his figure flying in the air, he finally couldn't keep calm and his face turned pale instantly!
If Du Fengzhong can appear alive, it means that the operation in the capital of the Haotian Empire will fail in all likelihood!
