Chapter 619: The army is approaching
It was still a hundred miles away from Wusun Tianguan, and the night was already dark.
The barbarian army has set up camp and will be on their way tomorrow morning. If they hurry, they can enter the pass in one day.
At this moment, the lights in the army camp were brightly lit.
The commander of the army this time, Tianying from the Tianshen Tribe, had just received the news from the Wusun Kingdom. With an angry look on his face, he summoned all his lieutenants to his tent.
"I just received a secret letter from Wusun Kingdom."
Tianying said in a deep voice: "There is another dispute in Wusun Kingdom. Demon Lord, a disciple of Xiling Demon Lord, takes action, and Da Kunmi returns to power. Moreover, this person threatens to block my army from entering the pass!"
"Demon Lord of Xiling!"
Speaking of this name, it still caused quite a stir among several lieutenants.
A deputy general asked: "How many people does this devil bring?"
"He's the only one."
Tianying said: "I heard that a team of hundreds of people was temporarily formed."
"What kind of cultivation level does this person have?" asked another deputy general.
Tianying said: "Three levels of meridians."
All the lieutenants under the tent looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
"This person is really whimsical. A third-grade Tongmai, together with hundreds of ant soldiers, actually wants to stop my barbarian army!" A lieutenant general sneered.
Tianying said in a deep voice: "You guys pass on my military orders, the army should reorganize and rest, break camp after the third watch, speed up the march, catch him by surprise, and enter the pass after dawn!"
"General, this person is so bold, could there be any ambush?"
A lieutenant asked with a frown.
Another lieutenant said in a deep voice: "Since this person has once again supported Da Kunmi to ascend to power, will the Wusun Congress have already sided with him and chosen to be the enemy of our barbarians?"
Tianying stood up, waved his big hand, and said with great pride: "It's just right. If the Wusun Kingdom dares to stop it, we will send our troops into the pass. The troops will be divided into two groups. One part will escort the grain and grass to Liangzhou, and the other part will continue. Go south, conquer Wusun, and completely incorporate Wusun into the barbarian land!”
"The Wusun Kingdom has been riddled with wounds and is vulnerable to a single blow after experiencing this civil strife."
"Although we have only ten thousand men under our command, each of them is an elite, powerful and invincible. With the help of elephant soldiers, bull demons and heavy cavalry, we can defeat all the cities of Wusun Kingdom!"
A cry of panic!
Tianying pulled out the sword from his waist, pointed at Wusun in the distance, his eyes were piercing, and he said in a deep voice: "You gentlemen, are you willing to work with me to expand the territory of the barbarian land and build a great cause?"
"We are willing to follow the general to the death!"
The lieutenants' blood boiled when they heard this, and they agreed immediately.
——
Wusun Tianguan is built between the Tianyin Mountains and the canyons of the Tianshan Mountains. It is a throat fortress leading to the north and south. It is flanked by towering peaks with thousands of walls standing on both sides, forming a majestic natural barrier.
Outside the pass, there is endless grassland.
Qi Xiang and everyone traveled day and night, barely getting much rest, and just arrived in the city last night.
The sky was slightly bright, and most people in the city were still awake.
The guards stationed on the Tianguan City Wall yawned again and again.
At this moment, someone faintly saw a dusty scene gradually rising at the end of the dim and distant grassland, and a large black shadow emerged, like a black torrent, quickly approaching here!
"What the hell?"
The man shook his head, thinking he was dazzled.
At this moment, the ground began to tremble slightly.
Soon after, a huge army appeared in the field of vision, covered in darkness with several flags flying.
On some flags, powerful images of gods are painted.
On some flags, there is a painting of a black bear standing upright and roaring with its mouth open.
On some flags, there is a painting of a huge elephant...
The barbarian army is coming! "Quick, go and inform Mr. Qi!"
The guards on the city wall changed their expressions and shouted loudly.
Before he finished speaking, a group of people rushed to the city wall from below. It was Prime Minister Qi and a group of generals.
The shaking on the ground became more intense, and they had already felt it in the city.
"It looks like there may be more than 10,000 people."
The general of Tianguan was speechless.
Prime Minister Qi looked solemn and nodded: "There are ten thousand elite troops escorting the food and supplies, and there are thousands of ordinary soldiers transporting the food."
Most of this barbarian army was composed of black bear troops. In addition, everyone also saw the legendary elephant soldiers and bull demon heavy cavalry!
There were not many elephant soldiers in this army, and there were only ten war elephants.
But looking from a distance, it is already unstoppable.
Each of the war elephants was more than ten feet tall. They were covered with heavy armor and carried an elephant carriage on their back. In the elephant carriage sat the general and two soldiers. A general stood on the neck. There were four other elephants around the legs. A soldier protects.
The elephant carriage is like an open-air carriage on the back of a war elephant. It has a spacious interior. The commander inside holds a command flag and directs the movement.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The two soldiers can pick up the spears, bows and arrows beside them and attack at will.
The war elephants advanced slowly but firmly, making the ground tremble with every step they took, like moving fortresses, which was daunting.
Each elephant soldier is like a combat team.
Once these ten war elephants rush into the formation, no matter whether they are heavy cavalry, light cavalry, or any large formation, they will not be able to challenge them head-on!
Not to mention, each war elephant itself has shocking power, destructive power, and lethality.
There are about a hundred bull demon heavy cavalry, riding huge and powerful rhinos, equipped with special armor. The cavalry are wearing heavy armor and holding spears and battle axes.
Once these hundreds of bull-demon heavy riders charge forward, what city gate can withstand them?
As the army approached, the dust on the grassland became thicker and thicker, and the sound of horns and drums echoed one after another, echoing between heaven and earth, which was frightening.
Various battle flags were flying in the sky. The flags were painted with barbarian totems and symbols, symbolizing different tribes.
The army is pressing down on the border, and these guards on the city wall have never fought against the barbarians.
It wasn't until this moment that I felt the fear brought by the barbarian army!
It was an overwhelming, suffocating feeling of oppression.
This barbarian army of 10,000 people, mixed with soldiers from different tribes, showed an aura that could crush everything!
Facing this large army, the guards at Tianguan could not resist at all.
What is the difference between confronting such a barbarian army and facing death?
Chen Tang stood on the city wall, looking at the slowly approaching barbarian army with a calm expression.
Prime Minister Qi glanced slightly sideways and reminded: "Your Majesty the Demon Lord, it's not too late to change your mind now. We, the Wusun Kingdom, will not help. I don't want to see these guards die in vain."
Chen Tang didn't answer, just whistled and suddenly jumped down from the city wall.
Uh-huh!
A black shadow suddenly shot out from the thorn, faster than lightning.
Before Chen Tang fell to the ground, he got under him and just caught him!
"What a wonderful war horse!"
"Ah, this is Pegasus!"
Someone exclaimed.
"As expected of a demon king, he actually surrendered all the Pegasus."
"So what if there are Pegasus to help? How can one person and one rider stop this barbarian army?"
All the guards on the city wall shook their heads.
The sound of horse hooves sounded.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Tang roared loudly, held a long knife, and rushed towards the black torrent directly in front of him that wanted to swallow everything, like a moth flying into a flame!
