Chapter 526 Soldiers retreat from Jinling City

After a day and a night of confrontation, most of the soldiers of Lin Aoxiong's Imperial Guard Corps had exhausted most of the dry food they carried with them.If the supplies are not nearby, the entire Praetorian Guard will face starvation.

Since they were fighting in the territory of the Tiangong Empire and needed to rush quickly, when the imperial guards set off from the capital, they didn't think about deploying grain and grass escort troops, but each soldier carried some dry food with him.

Whenever the dry food carried with them was about to be exhausted, the Praetorian Guards would resupply nearby, temporarily collecting food from the nearest villages and state cities.Because it is the Imperial Guard Corps, the common people and villagers generally do not have any resistance, but they are very active in handing over food.

But at this moment, on this isolated peak located in the southwestern part of Jiangnan County, the Imperial Guard Corps is surrounded by [-] karst dragons and [-] Bourbon mammoth war elephants. .

With the twilight of the morning sun, Lin Aoxiong soon discovered another thing.The huge long-necked dragons below the mountain peak began to use their huge mouths to bite down one boulder after another from the cliff-like cliff, and after holding those boulders in their mouths, they chewed vigorously again .

After chewing for a while, the original dragon spit out the rock again.And the spit out rock has been evenly split into several stones of the same size.

His heart sank, and Lin Aoxiong quickly thought that the neck of this original karst dragon was at least several feet long, and it was originally a natural movable stone throwing machine.

Sure enough, after biting the larger stones into relatively regular small stones, all the original karst dragons began to hold a stone with their mouths, and their long necks bent back into a terrifying angle.Immediately afterwards, with a "swipe", the head of the original dragon was thrown forward by the bent neck in an instant.

At the same time, the stone held in the mouth of the original dragon drew a long arc in the air.

Lin Aoxiong gritted his teeth, and said loudly: "There are rocks coming from the sky, everyone dodge as close as possible, hurry up."

The soldiers of the Guards Corps, who were already hungry, rushed to the nearby cliffs and boulders, and hid behind these natural bunkers as quickly as possible.

A series of violent sounds came, and the entire mountain top was hit by hundreds of huge stones falling from the sky, smashing stone chips and dust into the air.

Although they had taken shelter behind various natural bunkers in advance, due to the huge size of the rocks, some soldiers were still hit by their bodies.

Following the sound of the rumbling collision, there was another howling sound.

Lin Aoxiong looked at the scene in front of him with a sullen face.In all honesty, being besieged on this lonely peak, as long as the original dragons and mammoths don't retreat, the entire Imperial Guard Corps will be the result of running out of ammunition and food.At this moment, these original dragons actually used the ability of the stone throwing machine again, and the ending facing the Imperial Guard Corps became clearer.

If they could not withdraw, all the soldiers were either crushed to death or starved to death.

At this moment, Lin Aoxiong was burning with anxiety, and there seemed to be a huge stone in his chest, which made him a little out of breath.The idea of ​​going all out to fight has long since disappeared. At this time, Lin Aoxiong just wanted to bring back these 9 soldiers alive.

Soon, the second round of stones fell down again.

There was another rumbling sound.This time, more soldiers were hit by stones.

Lin Aoxiong wants to cry but has no tears, he can't fight but can't defend.For the Janissaries, this wasn't war at all, it was just waiting to die.

The third round of stones arrived instantly again.At this time, the casualties of the soldiers had reached hundreds.

At this moment, Lin Aoxiong suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a commotion behind the mammoth in front of him.At the same time, a series of "tat-tat-tat" sounds also came over.

When hearing this series of voices, Lin Aoxiong was shocked.During this period of time, Lin Aoxiong could hear such voices almost every day.

This sound is nothing but the sound of the nuclear crystal rifle pulling the trigger.

Obviously, reinforcements are coming.At this time, it was attacking the rear of the Bourbon Mammoth Legion.

Sure enough, it seemed unexpected that the Tiangong Empire would send reinforcements. At the same time, the mammoth and the original dragon were too huge and their bodies were extremely inflexible. For a while, they were caught off guard by the reinforcements from the Northern Prison Army behind them.

Under the close-range attack, dozens of mammoths were injured and maimed by the shellless bullets of the nuclear crystal rifle, and their huge bodies fell to the ground one after another.

Lin Aoxiong stared wide-eyed, watching the battle situation ahead without moving.

A wedge-shaped array, during the high-speed attack, quickly approached the isolated peak while shooting many mammoths and primitive dragons.

When the leading soldiers had reached about 200 meters away from the isolated peak, they saw a tall man named Kong Wu shouting towards the mountain: "Master Lin, quickly bring your people down, I can only fight for In half a quarter of an hour, when these behemoths react, we won't be able to leave."

Lin Aoxiong was overjoyed, that was Nan Gongze, the head of the North prison army.

Because Fu Yutang had been serving as the commander of the North Prison Corps, Nan Gongze was an out-and-out Fu Yutang.But at this time, since Nan Gongze rushed into danger to come to help, Fu Yutang must have known about it and supported it.Otherwise, Fu Yutang only needs to pass a word, and Nan Gongze can find any excuses, just to connect at the periphery, and there is no need to rush in at all.

After hearing Nan Gongze's words, Lin Aoxiong turned his head quickly, and shouted loudly at the soldiers of the Imperial Guard Corps on the top of the mountain: "Quickly, all members gather, follow me and rush down."

Except for hundreds of soldiers who had been maimed and killed, other soldiers quickly gathered towards Lin Aoxiong's position.

Under Lin Aoxiong's command, all the soldiers also arranged in a wedge-shaped array and rushed down the mountain at the fastest speed.

At the same time, the North Prison Legion, which came to reinforce them, made full use of the terrain and forced a way to retreat among the mammoths and the original dragons that surrounded them.

Under the cover of the Northern Prison Corps, the Imperial Guard Corps rushed down the mountain, followed the opened passage, and began to retreat to the rear.After the two armies joined forces, the firepower became more intensive, and the original dragons and mammoths on both sides were beaten back one after another.

The battle lasted for half an hour. After a short period of panic, both the original dragon and the mammoth discovered that the troops who came to reinforce them were actually no stronger than the Praetorian Guards.Just because the distance is too short, the lethality of the nuclear crystal rifle is slightly stronger.

After reacting, both the original dragon and the mammoth started to fight back.Fortunately, the retreat of the entire Guard Corps has also come to an end.

After paying the price of thousands of deaths, the North Prison Army and the Imperial Guard finally withdrew from this heavily surrounded area.However, tens of thousands of original dragons and [-] mammoths are also rapidly turning around collectively, chasing up towards the Northern Prison Army and the Imperial Guard Army.

At this time, Lin Aoxiong looked at Nan Gongze nervously, and said anxiously: "What should we do now? Which direction should we retreat?"

Nan Gongze stretched out his hand, pointed to the northeast, and said, "Two hundred miles ahead is Jinling City, the capital of Jiangnan County. Let's retreat into Jinling City as soon as possible and use the city to defend against these huge beasts. "

Lin Aoxiong lost his voice and said: "Jinling City?!"

Jiangnan County is the richest and most luxurious county province in the Tiangong Empire, and Jinling City is even more prosperous like a dream.There are countless restaurants, kabuki actors, red and neon lights, and painted boats and post pavilions in the city.It is really the most lively place in the entire Tiangong Empire.

If the Imperial Guard Corps and the North Prison Corps withdraw into Jinling City, the original Dragon Corps and Mammoth Corps will inevitably be drawn to Jinling City.

It's okay if the city is solid, but if the city is broken, this thousand-year-old prosperous ancient city will be completely destroyed overnight.Countless beauties in the city, as well as wonderful songs and poems, will also be destroyed once.

Looking at Lin Aoxiong's hesitant expression, Nan Gongze knew what was going on in his heart, and said eagerly: "General Lin, even if we don't enter Jinling City, these beasts will capture Jinling City sooner or later. The most important thing right now, It is to preserve our strength first."

Hearing Nan Gongze's words, Lin Aoxiong finally nodded his head with difficulty, and said: "Okay, all members of the Imperial Guard Corps obey the order, and the target is Jinling City."

Among the lush green jungle trails in the south of the Yangtze River, the two major legions of the imperial guards and the northern prisons are rushing towards Jinling City, which is two hundred miles away, in a desperate attempt.

Behind them, there are two legions of original dragons and mammoths, biting tightly.Although they did not completely encircle and annihilate the Praetorian Guard Corps, there was another North Prison Corps at this time, so for the Incas and Baros, it was even cheaper.

If all the Northern Prison Army can be wiped out, it will double the results of the attack on the Central Plains.

Therefore, the original dragon and the mammoth clung to the back of the two major armies of the North Prison and the Imperial Guard, and refused to let go no matter what.

After continuing to attack for half a day, the city wall of Jinling City finally showed a huge outline in the mist.However, at the moment when he saw the city wall, Lin Aoxiong couldn't relax.

After announcing their identities and displaying their military amulets, the guards on duty at the south gate of Jinling City quickly opened the city gate and let the Imperial Guard Corps and the North Prison Corps all enter the city.

Immediately afterwards, in the flat open space to the south of the city wall, huge figures gradually emerged.

After entering the city, the first thing Lin Aoxiong and Nangong Ze did was to move all the large defense equipment in the city to the city wall.

Hearing the tone of these two young generals, the governor of Jinling City also felt that the matter was of great importance, so he hurriedly ordered the soldiers to lead the way.

After half an hour, all the large equipment was on the city wall.At this time, Lin Aoxiong and Nan Gongze were standing on the city wall, looking around, they saw the original dragon and the mammoth approaching the south gate of Jinling City step by step.

Behind the two of them is the prosperous Jinling like a dream.

Lin Aoxiong and Nangong Ze were thinking about one thing silently almost at the same time.That is, where exactly is Ye Tian, ​​and when will he be able to come back?
When Lin Aoxiong and Nan Gongze were talking about Ye Tian at the same time, at the bottom of a deep pool on the edge of the sacred mountain, in the translucent crystal chamber, Ye Tian seemed to have a long spring and autumn dream.

With a "huh", Ye Tian's consciousness moved, he opened his eyes forcefully, took a breath, and the scene in front of him gradually became clear.

In the middle is a diamond-like crystal glowing red. Judging from the strong red light emitted, it must be some kind of gemstone with magical properties.
