So Yiguang immediately jumped off the giant wolf and picked up a large shield left by the front row.Holding a shield in one hand to avoid the rain of arrows, he once again launched an attack on another wolf cavalry that rushed over!
"Imperial! Die!"
The wolf cavalry shouted and charged towards Yiguang.At the same time, there was another wolf howl from the other direction. This time, it turned out to be a double attack? !
"Humph……"
Yiguang snorted coldly, and threw the big shield in his hand, knocking down the wolf cavalry in front of him, and then the spear in his hand protruded, and the spear penetrated the body of the giant wolf in front of him with huge force, and then swept across the giant wolf's body. The body used it as part of the weapon and hit another group of wolf cavalry.
Yulin's Marksmanship · Cang Yue, the wind and the moon go out to sea!
"Double kill!"
In an instant, two groups of wolf cavalry were knocked down again. After the Imperial Army witnessed it, the momentum was lifted.This giant wolf is not only ferocious in attack, but also has a strong deterrent due to its huge size. Before the imperial army was suppressed by it, there was also a psychological deterrent factor.Now, Yiguang has single-handedly killed three groups of wolf cavalry soldiers, and the psychological deterrence has been largely eliminated in an instant.The good players in the army also began to try to kill those giant wolves with reference to Yi Guang's method.
"That red-haired... is that Lanza. He is indeed a very strong rookie. Quickly kill three groups of wolf cavalry with one person, Brand is almost like this, right?"
On the command platform at the rear, General Liwa, who was in command of this army, was observing the battle situation ahead with the help of a telescope-like device.Yi Guang's red hair, and his bravery in killing three groups of wolf cavalry by himself, naturally attracted the veteran's interest.He remembered what Brand had said many times before him about the recruit.
"However, these wolf cavalry are not a big problem, and they are just taking advantage of the raid. Now that they have stabilized their positions, they are not enough to pose too much threat." The rain of arrows fired shook his head, "The most important thing now is to find a way to contain the archers on the city wall as soon as possible."
"These northern barbarians are lacking in supplies. The bows and arrows guarding the fortress are afraid that they have tightened their belts to save money. Even if they leave it alone, they will not last long. In comparison, the thick walls of the fortress only It's the key." An officer under Liwa shook his head, "The siege vehicle is already on standby."
"Of course I know, but if we can't suppress the archers, our army doesn't know how many casualties will be added out of thin air." General Liwa sighed, "Soldiers should not be afraid of sacrifice, but such a meaningless sacrifice is a bit regrettable. ."
"In this case, the catapult can only be put on first." Another staff officer said, "Although it may cause accidental injury, the catapult should be able to effectively suppress the opponent's arrow formation."
Due to the special geographical environment of the battlefield, the Imperial Army did not dare to use trebuchets at will.After all, the accuracy of this thing is a problem. If you accidentally smash the ice in the river, it will be equivalent to the behavior of Erwuzi.But now, with the defeat of the enemy wolf cavalry, the front line began to advance, and the position of the trebuchet was no longer awkward, and it was indeed time to use it.
"boom--!!!"
So, with a loud bang, the imperial trebuchet was pushed into the battlefield and began to attack the enemy's city head!
Chapter 85 Playing with Fire?Who is afraid of who!
"boom--!!!"
The loud noise from the rear of the Imperial Army's position indicated that the trebuchets of the Imperial Army had begun to launch.Countless huge stones fell from the sky and fell on the head of the fortress, attacking the archers above.
Of course, because the trebuchet itself is a relatively primitive siege weapon, its accuracy is very problematic.After all, even modern artillery is actually not very accurate, and artillery units still need multiple test firings to master the direction of the attack.Not to mention the trebuchets equipped by empires in the age of classical militarism, still in an agrarian society.
Therefore, the Imperial Army's own positions were also disturbed by the slings fired by their own people.During the siege, soldiers were sometimes injured by falling rocks.But after all, the Imperial Army was numerous and powerful. Even if a team was hit by a falling rock, it would not affect the advance of the front.
The Imperial Army's storm plan was proceeding in an orderly manner.
This is the war in the age of cold weapons, and siege warfare has always been the most difficult and cruel part.Generally speaking, unless there is a particularly urgent strategic need, in most cases the attacker will not use a move that kills a thousand enemies and damages [-] from a frontal siege.Cutting water and food is the most common method.
But now, the strategic needs of the Imperial Army headquarters did not allow the corps under Liwa to do so.Because they had to finish the fort before summer came and the river froze.They only have less than five months, and this fortress can theoretically support more than half a year if the reinforcements are cut off.
As a result, this war has become a meat grinder, a pure war of attrition.The northern theater of the empire had to mobilize troops and recruits from its subordinate provinces, and continuously send fresh lives one by one into this huge grinding disc of flesh and blood.
After all, if the entire northern strategy of the Imperial Army is completed, it will at least allow the alien races in the north to live in peace for more than ten years.The core of the entire strategy is to conquer this fortress.
"boom--!!!"
The huge rock fell on Yiguang's side again. Our spearmen dodged gently and skillfully, and stabbed to death an alien warrior who rushed over.These boulders that suddenly fell from the sky caused a little trouble for Yi Guang, and he was often startled by these falling stones.However, these stones thrown by the trebuchets did effectively suppress the arrows released by the opposite fortress, which made Yiguang really hate those trebuchets.
"Look, what is that?"
Because Yiguang killed three groups of wolf cavalry in an instant before, this gave the imperial sergeants around him, especially the ten-man team he led, a great sense of trust in him.At this time, the charge also followed him closely. Under the joint action of more than a dozen people, they also killed many enemy troops.
At this time, a sharp-eyed soldier saw some strange big birds suddenly appear above the fort.Those big birds were flying, and a bunch of them were carrying something, and they were constantly throwing downwards.
"What it is?"
Seeing this, Yiguang immediately became puzzled. With his eyesight, he could see what seemed to be a package thrown up and down by the big bird.
Those big birds were flying very fast, and before Yiguang's thoughts were finished, they had already flown to the front of Yiguang's team.At this moment, the wind was facing the imperial army's position, and a large amount of pale yellow powder scattered from the surroundings as the package dropped on the big bird.Yi Guang suddenly felt a familiar smell in his nose.However, for a while, it was difficult for him to remember where the smell came from, until the sound of the system sounded in his mind.
【Oops!The flag set up by the big brother at the head of the plane ah ah ah!This is white phosphorus, which will burn at forty degrees! 】
white phosphorus!
Yiguang suddenly recalled the introduction about white phosphorus he had seen before.
"Light yellow or white translucent solid. Soft, brittle when cold, darkens when exposed to light. It produces blue-green phosphorescence and white smoke in the dark when exposed to air. Fires at about 30°C in moist air, and in dry air In the middle, it is slightly higher at about 40°C.”
Yes, for foreign nations, "fierce oil" and coal are indeed materials that are not easy to obtain, because mining and processing are not easy.And white phosphorus, although the material is also a relatively rare mineral, there are also open-air enriched ore veins. The commonly used flint in ancient times is an ore rich in phosphorus elements.In addition, the production method of white phosphorus is relatively simple, even the backward production capacity of foreign nations is not impossible to manufacture!
In modern warfare, aren't there also white phosphorus incendiary bombs, weapons banned by international conventions?
If there happened to be such a large phosphate mine on the territory of those foreign nations...
Just as Yiguang changed his mind, as these pale yellow powders flew, the surrounding imperial soldiers fell to the ground because of inhaling white phosphorus.In addition to having an extremely low flash point, white phosphorus itself is highly toxic, and inhalation of large quantities can cause systemic hemorrhage.Even if inhaled little, it can lead to visceral failure.
However, the opponent spraying white phosphorus must not be used as a poisonous gas, so the efficiency is too low.The other party sprays these yellow substances, and its only effect is... fire attack!
"No! That's phosphorus powder!" General Liwa and his staff in the back, naturally also saw this scene, and suddenly changed their color, "Quick, the troops that have not yet entered the frozen area, quickly issue an order to retreat! There are also trebuchets, come back, get out!!!”
"Then general, what about the troops that have entered the frozen area?!"
"There's no help...Even if I withdraw, it's too late." The old general was deeply saddened, "I never expected that it would be phosphorus powder."
It was indeed hopeless, just the second after General Liwa issued the retreat order, the entire battlefield began to burn rapidly with the burning cannonball-like object shot from the other side's tower.The surface of the glacier polluted by white phosphorus quickly turned into a sea of fire and began to spread to the rear of the Imperial Army position.
"how come……"
And Brand, who had set up a flag against Yiguang before the war, looked at the glacial battlefield that instantly turned into a sea of fire, and there was nothing else in his heart except for consternation.They only thought that the foreign nations lacked coal and kerosene, so they thought they would not use fire attacks.But they never thought that they would actually have phosphate rock, which could produce such a large amount of phosphorus powder.
Brand did not know how long it would take to manufacture these phosphorus powders under the production conditions of foreign nations.He only knew that now, this glacier turned into a sea of fire in an instant.Countless imperial soldiers burned in this sea of fire.And he was just a guy who got away with luck because of the assignment.
However, the group of recruits he just brought out was far from being so lucky.
"No, that's it..."
Looking at the burning sea of fire, Brand said unwillingly.At the same time, he had to obey the order, pack up the surrounding troops that have not been affected and start to evacuate.
"boom--!!!"
Suddenly, a ray of light suddenly burst out from the river, and at the same time, there was a dull loud noise.A commotion broke out in the Imperial Army formation, who was about to gather the remnants and temporarily retreated.
"That, that is..."
Brand watched in astonishment at the scene in front of him. The flames burning in the glacier, in an instant, seemed to be guided by a certain will, from all directions, like a tide, gathered in midair in a certain direction.Originally, the flames, which had been attacking in the direction of the imperial army's formation with the wind, moved in the opposite direction as if being dragged by something.The flames on the entire river quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they had been pinched by someone and shaped into the shape they wanted!
"Going for a special mission, you are not allowed to use flames!" The gathered flames, like a monster about to move, squatted in the air in front of the opponent's fortress. Roaring, "Playing with fire, right? You can play, or I can play! If you don't have skills, you're a bastard!"
In this roar, in the stunned or terrified eyes of countless people, the hot flames vaguely condensed into a ferocious dragon head, roaring and galloping down from the top of the dome.The walls of the fortress of the foreign nations in the north seemed to collapse at any time under the claws of the giant dragon, and the soldiers guarding the fortress groaned in horror!
"That, that is..."
Witnessing this scene, countless people in the Imperial Army went crazy.This is definitely not something that ordinary humans can do, such a power that is almost miraculous... Only "Eigu" can display such power!
Yes, only the first emperor of the empire, using the long-lost "secret technique of the country", forged 48 special weapons called artifacts, able to do this kind of thing!
Moreover, even among the 48 pieces of "Teigu", there are only a handful of people who can possess such power that one person can withstand thousands of troops, and even break a city with one blow.Even if there is such a "Teigu", it is often impossible to find a strong person who can withstand the backlash brought by this power.Therefore, in such a large-scale battle, the role of most of the "Teigu envoys" is actually not as great as imagined.
"Such power, such a 'Teigu', who can use this power... Who is it?! Go, find him for me!"
Witnessing the terrifying scene that happened in front of him, which could even be called "breaking the city with one blow", General Liwa felt that his heart was about to burst out.The dragon formed by the flames, with just one blow, almost completely wiped out the defending troops guarding the city at the head of the city.The violent explosion destroyed half of the city wall in an instant. After a reversal of the situation on the battlefield, it tilted towards the Imperial Army again in an instant.
And this is because of one person!

PS: I'm really not good at writing war scenes, as expected, it's more pleasant to set up a cannon and bombard his mother.
Well, so be it.
Chapter 86 Main Quests
The unexpected fire attack of the foreign nations successfully stopped the advance of the imperial army.The originally thick glaciers were also showing signs of melting and collapsing under that sea of fire.The scale of victory should have been tilted toward foreign nations.
Yes, it should have been.
However, in this battle, a powerhouse who could control the flame suddenly appeared in the imperial army formation, who was suspected of possessing a super-class emperor.At the moment when the alien army thought it was safe to win, it suddenly launched an attack, and by itself gathered the flames that had spread to the positions of the small half of the empire.Then, the flames ignited by the aliens themselves, under the command of that person, turned into a mad dragon, sweeping the entire fortress like a natural disaster.In an instant, the bursting flames almost destroyed the first line of defense of the fort.The outer wall of the entire fortress was nearly half collapsed by this attack.
However, this is not the most terrifying, physical blast, just a one-time attack.As the fire dragon roared, the fire that gradually spread in the city was the most fatal.
Most of the troops defending the city of foreign nationalities in the north were assigned to this first line of defense to defend the imperial army.The top of the city was originally crowded with people, but now the city wall has collapsed and the fire is blazing into the sky. With such a large crowd, it is extremely difficult to evacuate, escape, or fetch water to put out the fire.
The consequences... It's like playing a "World of Warcraft" team. When fighting against the boss with the "Ignition and Chaos" skill, the players who were hit failed to leave the crowd in time. trick.Among the foreign guards who are now defending the fort, many people are burning with raging flames, shouting the slogan "Praise the sun!", and rushing towards the friendly forces that have not been burned by the fire!
The fire spread wildly in the city.
"I seem to have... done something stupid."
At this moment, Yi Guang finally woke up from his previous rage. Looking at the burning fortress in front of him, and the burning human body falling from the city tower, he fell into some kind of panic.
Although he has obtained the power of fire and spirit, he is even closer to those ancient gods in essence.However, Yiguang's will as a human being, and his self-awareness, still bound his form firmly in his current body.
According to the systematic analysis, if it wasn't because of some beautiful parts of Karna's divinity that helped Yiguang retain his reason under the order and made him feel that he should still be a person, Yiguang's current form would be There is a high probability that it is not human, but similar to Ctugya-yes, Ctugya, not the cute Kezi.
And precisely because he retains the way of thinking and morality as a human being, at this moment, Yi Guang, under the control of rage and the madness of the ancient gods, made his actions to burn the city with rage, and he inevitably felt panic.For the first time, he fully exerted his power as the larva of the ancient god, and he created a scene like purgatory on earth.Yi Guang felt a little breathless for a while.
[War is like this, stupid thing?This stupid thing is also done by these humans themselves.If you don't burn them, they will come to burn you. If you don't take action today, how many of these imperial troops who participated in the war today can go back?Don't be limited by the morality and education of the peaceful age, this world is ancient, the empire of the classical militarism age, and a group of alien races stuck in the age of city-state civilization.There is no such thing as human rights here, let alone a policy of preferential treatment for prisoners.Even in each other's eyes, it's hard to say whether the other party is human or not. 】
"so what?"
Yi Guang frowned, he didn't like this kind of argument very much, but thinking about the scene where the imperial army was burned and the entire position turned into purgatory, he had to admit that the system made sense.After all, the fact that he was ruthless was also because of the miserable situation of the group of recruits under him, which stimulated him.Although they have only known each other for more than a month, and they were not friendly to themselves at first.However, the so-called human sensibility is just like this, and it is often triggered by some inadvertent things.
And now, their burned corpses beyond recognition are still around them, exuding a disgusting smell.
[Therefore, there is no so-called moral issue, because this is the battlefield.You choose one side, and you must try your best to kill the other side.Killing them is the means, and accumulating merit and climbing to a high position is the goal. 】
"Climbing to a high position, this must be just to lay the foundation for the follow-up mission? So what is the final mission?" Yi Guang frowned, "Don't you want me to continue the life of the empire?"
[Clever, this is indeed the final task.Your current power is almost unmatched in this world, that is, the future Esdes and General Bude can fight against you.For you like this, ordinary battlefield missions are not a test.So, this time, I'm going to change the rules. After all, as a future 'god to make up for', I can only fight and kill.Before letting you suppress power, I just wanted to train your fighting skills by the way. 】
"Damn, this test is almost impossible... eh? Thinking about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be impossible."
Yi Guang originally wanted to scold, but suddenly he remembered the content of the chat he had with a group of QQ friends before he came to this infinite world when he complained about "Crimson Eyes".If you think about it carefully, although the Empire is portrayed as fierce and brutal, eating jujube pills, but if you dig a little deeper, at least in the early stage of the plot, the Empire actually has hope.It was not until the middle and late stages of the story that the minister and Esdes made a series of extremely coquettish operations, which completely ruined the entire national fortune of the empire, and forcibly milked the originally disadvantaged revolutionary army.
To be honest, Yi Guang even suspected that the minister was not an undercover agent sent by the revolutionary army into the empire, right?
Even at that time, Yiguang and a bunch of housemates in the QQ group discussed a set of "Empire Renovation Plan" that looked similar and was full of various obscure technical terms.Of course, because several years have passed, Yiguang is already very vague about the nonsense content at that time.However, Yiguang still remembered several key points in the brain hole plan very clearly.
The system is forcing itself to do everything for the empire, and it is all that I can do. I can only remember the outline of the plan.
"This mission... it really forced me to die!" Yi Guang looked at the burning tower in front of him and let out a long sigh, "You are not afraid that I will take the entire empire into a ditch."
[This is up to you to solve. As I said, you need to find the 'correct' path in this mission to complete it. 】The sound of the system made Yiguang fall into contemplation.
Suddenly, in front of Yi Guang, a task page appeared, and the task content also changed.
