Overlord's Road to Ancient Emperors

At the beginning of Yinshi, there was darkness between the sky and the earth, and soldiers were already gathered in front of the temporary tents, but the 10,000+ people did not make too much noise.

Soon, Kou Xiao left with 2 people, and the rest were handed over to other generals.

Yao Qixiong looked at the sky, the east side was faintly pale, but the light was not enough, but this time was just right, he ordered: "Bring one day's dry food and set off!"

This siege might not last for only one day, but Yao Qixiong felt that one day was enough to see clearly. If the fortress could not be taken down five to one, there was no need to continue.

When the sun rose from the east, the trumpets sounded, and with the shouts of killing, the [-] troops divided into four camps to attack the fortress together. Yao Qixiong, as the coach, sat firmly in the rear and did not charge forward. He knew his position. At this age, he can't move even if he wants to rush, and the giant fortress in the distance gives him a feeling of uneasiness. If he gets too close, the coach will die in the first round. Then this battle will be fine. it's over.

Sure enough, after rushing a few meters, everyone found that the handsome flag was cut off in the middle, and a thin long arrow flew through the sky, and then landed on the open space in the distance. It is conceivable that if this thing passed through their crowd, It must be able to wear a series of corpses, and it is scary to think about it.

But in a real stand, this kind of lethality is not too big. After all, not too many people will die. Everyone just froze for a moment, and then continued to rush forward.

When they were out of range of the archers, the standard-bearer waved the flag to signal to stop, and then the formation changed, and the team dispersed, with shields taller than a person standing in the front row, and the soldiers behind each holding a square shield, hiding behind them shrinking their heads so as not to Too many heads were annihilated by the archers at once.

The expected rain of arrows did not come, and several generals frowned, not understanding what the opponent meant. From the square holes in the fortress, it could be seen that the opponent had arranged a lot of archers. After a few waves, You can sweep a large area, why not shoot arrows?Could it be that the range has not reached yet?

In any case, this is a good thing. The generals led their teams to advance according to the established plan. The forward accelerated and rushed forward, and the two wings tried to climb the city wall from the side.

Suddenly, some people heard rumbling thunder. When they looked up, they didn't see a cloud. The sun was high in the east. How could there be thunder in such weather?

Immediately, they heard a flag on the fortress, telling them to stop. This was an agreement between the two parties. Once such a flag was played, it meant that there were at least a thousand casualties.

The soldiers didn't know why, but they stopped. After a while, the vanguard saw that the original floor in front of them suddenly opened to both sides, revealing a huge and dark pothole. The soldiers standing in the front row saw it most intuitively. The sharp knives stuck in the bottom of the pit, no wonder they have to stop, if they take a step forward, they will be pierced into hedgehogs.

Everyone gasped. The leader was Tuoba Hong. He observed the size of the pothole and made a gesture. Immediately, the soldiers in the top ten rows ran out of the battlefield, indicating that they had already died in battle.

In such a pothole, dead people are not enough, because you have to cross him, unless you fill the pit with human life, their formation must be changed, spread out and go around from both sides, so... Tuoba Hong's heartbeat accelerated , looking at the land on both sides of the pothole.

What they are standing on right now is a concrete floor leading directly to the fortress, a wide road, and they did not expect that such a ground can be used to make organs. Who the hell designed this fortress?

There are grasslands on both sides. The lawn is obviously newly planted, with only a little green spikes emerging. There may be traps in the passive places. For a moment, Tuoba Hong didn't know whether he should order to go around from both sides.

Seeing that the two wings had surpassed them, Tuoba Hong gritted his teeth and ordered to move forward. With the warning just now, everyone took every step cautiously. On the wall not far away, Kou Xiao saw clearly with his clairvoyance, and sneered Said: "If this is a real enemy army, it will not be so easy to get around."

Kou Xiao gave the order to shoot arrows when the other party arrived within 100 meters. The arrows fell like rain, densely packed, and it was chilling. Constantly, I don't know how many sharp arrows are stuck in their shields.

Of course, the heads of these arrows are wrapped in cloth, so they cannot hurt anyone. If it is true, this frequency is enough to shoot through a wooden shield.

After several rounds of arrow rain, the two sides paused and began to count the casualties. Tuoba Hong drove away thousands of soldiers with a black face, and then continued.

Seeing that he was about to reach the slope, Tuoba Hong found that the slope had been splashed with oil, and his feet would slip when he stepped on it. The soldiers in front slipped down and instantly overwhelmed them.

"General, I can't climb up!" Everyone wailed.

Tuoba Hong looked up, and saw Kou Xiao standing high on the wall at a glance. He was holding something in his hand, and he was looking down at them, like a god high above, with cold eyes.

He was terrified and ordered to retreat. Sure enough, the next moment he saw soldiers holding stones and wooden sticks on the city wall and were about to smash it down. Don't think about it, the soldiers in front of them could not keep it.

But if there are only these, Tuoba Hong believes that he can still withstand the pressure. After all, the opponent's arrows are limited, and there are also countless stones and other objects, so it is impossible to use them all.

Just as he was counting how many things that could hurt people appeared above, there was another rumbling sound. This sound had already cast a psychological shadow on everyone, so they stopped consciously without commanding from above.

Everyone looked around, not knowing where the agency was this time.

Soon, they knew, because the fort wall in front of them was opening little by little, like a giant beast opened its mouth and exposed its fangs. At that moment, everyone wanted to run away.

I saw that the originally flat wall turned into several black holes, and densely packed holes protruded from the holes. The soldiers who stood closer hurriedly backed away, fearing that the sprayed things would fall on themselves.

After a while, nothing came out of the hole, but there was a semaphore above it. Tuoba Hong took a closer look, and it turned out to be a number of [-] kills.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he still crossed out [-] soldiers. His forwards originally had [-] soldiers, and half of them have gone by now. Such a casualty ratio should logically be retreated.

But at this time, the other party was huddled in the fortress without even showing his face, let alone the casualties. Tuoba Hong had already lost confidence, because he found that climbing up this fortress was no different than reaching the sky.

He ordered a retreat of 500 meters, took a break, and then observed the situation on the two wings. His side attacked the fort head-on and assumed the main firepower. The other sides should be able to make progress, but he knew at a glance that he was wrong. .

They have fewer people left than themselves, what's going on?

It was almost noon, and everyone withdrew back. The "casualties" soldiers had already withdrawn from the battlefield, and the rest seemed not to be very energetic. Everyone ate some dry food and prepared to continue fighting in the afternoon.

Yao Qixiong could see clearly from the rear, knowing that the battle would be lost, but his heart was sweeter than eating honey, he laughed and said: "If there are more such fortresses in the northwest, why should we be afraid of the Huns?"

Tang Chenxi nodded, with lingering fears in his heart, "Looking at the situation, this fortress only needs a few thousand soldiers to garrison it when it is not in war. As long as the Huns are not overwhelming, there is no fear at all."

"Although Jiuyuan is a fortress, it is unlikely that the entire army of the Huns will attack this fortress. Especially now that this place has been built, they should avoid it."

"I really don't understand why General Kou built a fort here. Liangzhou and other places need more than Jiuyuan."

Yao Qixiong also didn't think about it for a while, but Kou Xiao, a young man, didn't look like he would mess around, he must have his own considerations, he squinted, and said in a sarcastic tone: "It's easy to know, just bow your head and bow your head. "

All the generals present had not surrendered to Kou Xiao, and the scattered small forces were nothing to worry about. Kou Xiao didn't pay attention to it, and could clean it up at any time. Tang Chenxi and Tuoba Hong's expressions changed, and they began to think secretly .

It is impossible for Kou Xiao to leave the two of them alone, but I don't know what tricks he will use. If he is like Yao Qixiong, he can save his life and find a way out for his descendants. If it is the Li family and the Xu family, it is really enough Miserable.

After resting for half an hour, Yao Qixiong ordered his men to continue the attack, but this time he did not divide the formation, but all attacked the hills on the right side. A frontal attack was obviously impossible, even if he could reach the bottom of the fortress, he would not be able to attack. Such a high ladder allows them to climb up, so they should still take a detour.

But he miscalculated, Kou Xiao immediately knew their plan when he saw the enemy's entire army moving to the right, and [-] soldiers came out in full force, fully armed, and quietly touched under the city wall on the right.

He hasn't had time to set up the open space outside the left and right sides. There should be all kinds of traps here, but there is no rush to set up the traps now.

The mountains here are all hills, there are not even a few tall trees, and a few sparse bushes can't hide people at all, so neither side ventured in, and touched it carefully.

Yao Qixiong didn't fall behind this time, but took the lead riding up the hillside. As soon as he stood still, he saw someone waving a flag on the opposite city wall. The sign language turned out to be the death of the coach.

"Are you kidding me? What do they use to attack? Intention?" Tuoba Hong sarcastically said, and then saw a long quiver rising from the opposite city wall, and the black hole was aimed at Yao Qixiong.

Yao Qixiong laughed, "It's really hard to guard against. Have you seen where they hide this quiver?"

Everyone shook their heads, but there were holes in the city wall. If all the arrows were installed like this, it would be really not easy to approach safely.

"I heard that Nanyue has produced many new weapons. The Yunyang Army bought a lot of them before. It's a pity that no one in the Northwest dared to show up. Instead, they fell behind. Maybe this is one of them."

Tang Chenxi said enviously: "I don't know who is the master craftsman in the Kou family's army, who has such a skill. Just because of this, the Kou family's army will be invincible."

Yao Qixiong still said the same thing: "It's easy to know, just join."

Tang Chenxi smiled disappointedly, "You're right, no matter how hard you struggle, it's useless. Could he still let the Tang family go? It's a pity, this is the Tang family army that I have spent half my life building up."

Yao Qixiong comforted: "You are still young, you can continue to serve in the army, but there are more people above, and there was still the eldest prince before, it doesn't make any difference."

"Eldest Prince, heh, as long as we obey orders, he doesn't care how we train soldiers." Tang Chenxi had a mocking expression on his face. When the First Prince was around, they all behaved very obediently, after all, they were able to get a large sum of money For military expenses, these years, they can live a good life thanks to the First Prince. If they were allowed to choose, they would of course be more willing to follow a coach like the First Prince.

"Then you should submit to General Kou. His method of training troops is better than mine. You can go and see it."

"Why do I need to see it?" Tang Chenxi sighed and said, "I saw him leading the troops the day before yesterday. If the team hadn't known in advance that it was the remnants of the Li family and the Xu family, I would have thought he had brought it from outside. When has there been such an momentum?"

"Not much to say, let's continue, we must finish this battle."

But when they got closer, they found that they still had a miscalculation. The defenders not only had better weapons than them, but also had better equipment than them. They had brand-new armor with a knife in their left hand and a gun in their right. With a military stabbing dagger, only a pair of eyes and a mouth are exposed from the whole body, making it impossible to attack like a copper wall.

After a few rounds, their people died all over the place, but the opponent's casualties were close to zero. Tuoba Hong was the first to drop his weapon and shouted: "No more fights, it's impossible to fight! It seems that we are playing the Huns soldiers, but they are more like Huns soldiers!"

The morale thing fell apart as soon as it was over, and soon a large number of people surrendered. Yao Qixiong shouted angrily: "What are you doing? Surrendering is a coward! If the opponent is really an enemy, what can you get back by surrendering? Except yourself and the rear You will gain nothing from the lives of the common people!"

Everyone lowered their heads and was scolded. In fact, they still had some naive thoughts in their hearts. After all, what they were facing was not a real enemy.

There is no need to continue this battle. Kou Xiao ordered the ropes and ladders to be lowered, and let the opposing soldiers climb up. He had a cold face and exuded an aura that strangers should not enter. It can be seen that he was very angry, not only him His own soldiers, even Yao Qixiong and other generals were silent and did not dare to speak.

"All come with this general." Kou Xiao said in a cold voice, he turned around and left, at an extremely fast speed, he turned and disappeared in front of them in the blink of an eye.

Kou Xiao took them on a careful tour of the fort, and gave them a general introduction to the various functional areas, as well as the full food stored in the basement.

Tuoba Hong blushed and asked: "General Kou, can you show us those mechanisms that open and close?"

Kou Xiao led them up and upstairs. There are several airtight rooms here. The doors are all made of steel bars, which are very heavy. The key is not a common style for them, and two keys need to be inserted at the same time to open it. After entering, they Seeing several groups of huge machines, Kou Xiao nodded to a personal guard behind him, who led several subordinates forward and opened one of them.

The familiar rumbling sound sounded, and everyone didn't know where this place was. Kou Xiao said, "You can go up to the city wall and have a look."

Everyone couldn't wait to go upstairs, and what they saw was that the slope below was separated from the middle to both sides. It was a mechanism that had never been seen before. After the road was opened, smoke suddenly sprayed out of it, and everyone asked in a voice: "What is this?"

"It's poisonous mist, which can make people's hands and feet weak. If you inhale too much, you will fall into a coma. However, it depends on the wind direction. Just now, when you arrived at this time, the wind direction was not right, so you didn't open it."

Well, it turned out that they escaped unharmed, and everyone was shocked.
