Five hundred and twentieth chapters beacon fire
The troops in the Black Stone Pass fortress were absolutely elite. After the last war, Sha Ding directly replaced the troops in the Black Stone Pass with the most elite troops, and replaced them with the generals they trusted to command the troops on the Black Stone Pass.
Although the Storm Legion has not robbed outside for more than ten years, it seems that the combat effectiveness of the troops in the Storm Legion is not very good, in fact, this is not the case.
There are indeed many troops in the Storm Legion, and their combat effectiveness is much worse than that of more than ten years ago. However, there are still many elite troops with the right side. The combat effectiveness has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot.
There are not only sandstorms in the sea of sand, but also dryness. There are also threats of powerful desert beasts, such as venomous scorpions, two-headed giant sand scorpions, centipede... etc. These beasts are not numerous in the desert, and they also like to hunt humans very much.
There are 150,600,000 people in Stormwind City. Such a large piece of "meat" is really too attractive for these desert beasts. Therefore, from time to time, some desert beasts will attack Stormwind City. At this time, the Storm Legion needs to wipe out these desert beasts.
Therefore, the Storm Legion still has to experience some actual combat from time to time, but the number of desert beasts attacked each time is not large. Therefore, only some troops in the Storm Legion can obtain actual combat. The current strength of these troops has not been much lower than that of more than ten years ago.
In addition, with the rapid development of Storm City's economy, Storm City has enough money to replace Storm Legion with more powerful weapons and armor, and sufficient logistics supplies.
Therefore, the strength of the Storm Legion has not decreased, but has increased.
Especially those troops that have experienced actual combat, their combat power is really considerable.
Most of these soldiers have experience with the Desert Barbarians and have powerful armor and weapons, so they are extremely powerful.
Although the enemies we are facing now are the Black Wind Legion, most of them are cavalry units, and the Storm Legion may suffer some losses, but now the Storm Legion only needs to defend the city, so it is considered a soldier of the Storm Legion who has not experienced actual combat, and he is not so scared. Some soldiers even feel a little bit sad and want to give the Black Wind Legion a little hardship.
At the top of the fortress at Black Stone Pass, suddenly, the sentry, who had not made much movement before, stood up straight, put his right hand on his eyes, and looked into the distance with a nervous look on his face.
Soon, he saw that at the end of his eyes, a black beacon rose rapidly, and the straight painted black wolf smoke soared straight up.
The sentry knew that it was a beacon tower arranged in the distance.
Immediately afterwards, one after another of the painted black beacons ignited, and then, in the sight of the sentry, several war horses were galloping towards this side quickly. In the distance behind them, there were a large stream of smoke and dust covering the sky and the sun.
"Enemy attack...!Enemy attack...!" The sentry shouted loudly on the mattress, and then ran straight to the guard platform, put his mouth directly on the trumpet placed on the guard platform, and then used all his strength to blow it. For a moment, "Woooooooooooooooo......!", the shrill sound of the trumpet echoed over the Black Stone Pass fortress, and it lasted for a long time.........
The people of Stormwind City, which are still working in the wild, have long been used to the trumpet of the enemy. After hearing the trumpet, they first looked at the black wolf smoke in the distance, and then hurriedly packed up the farm tools and ran towards the Black Stone Pass fortress.
At this time, on the top of the Black Stone Pass Fortress, a group of soldiers rushed up in full arms.
Then, the officers in the army opened the arsenal and took out the weapons inside.
The crossbows were pushed out from the city tower one by one, and the crossbowmen nervously shook their bow arms and mounted the eight-ox crossbow as thick as a child's arm on the crossbow.........
The archer puts handfuls of bows and arrows into the arrow bag on his body, and then, under the leadership of the captain, gather in a fixed position...
More ordinary soldiers quickly brought military supplies such as stone strips, wood, and boiling oil to come over and piled them under the stacking discs.
When the scouts returned from their horses, all the Heishi Pass Fortress was ready, and rows of soldiers stood on the city tower, looking nervously at the large group of cavalry rolling in the distance.
"Tread..." A series of rapid horse hooves sounded, and the scouts of the Storm Legion ran back to the Black Stone Pass fortress with all their strength.
As the scout rushed into the gate of the Black Stone Pass fortress, the thick gate closed tightly with a "clang...", and then with another "clang...". The thick logs were installed in the iron ring behind the gate of the Black Stone Pass fortress, almost blocking the gate tightly.
Shishajing was already wearing black iron armor, holding his helmet in his arms with one hand and pressing the discs on the Black Stone Pass city wall with the other hand, staring at the approaching Black Wind Legion cavalry. Beside him, a young man of twenty-four or five years old was frowning and looking at the endless Black Wind Legion cavalry in the distance, his face full of sorrow.
This young man is Shatuo, the adopted son adopted by Shading.
Shatuo: Twenty-five years old, with a seventh level of cultivation in the acquired world, majoring in "Chengyan Zhengyang Jue".
"General Shi, there are about 3,000 vanguard troops of the Black Wind Legion in front of them, all of them are cavalry." Shatu said with a worried look on his face.
Shishajing showed a look of contempt in his eyes: "If these people want to attack my Black Stone Pass fortress? Haha, you have underestimated us too much!"
The Black Stone Pass Fortress had no choice but to let Xiao Quan go. Now if there were only these troops, Shishajing would not be worried at all.
Sha Tuo shook his head and said, "General, this time we came the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry of the Black Wind Legion, and the Black Flame Heavy Cavalry is the most elite cavalry unit in the Black Wind Legion, and it is the most powerful cavalry unit in the Black Wind Legion. At the same time, it is the most respected by Xiao Quan. Looking at the flag in front, the word Xiao on it is clearly visible, so I think the general who commanded the army this time is Xiao Quan. Xiao Quan is a strong man in the innate stage. It is not an exaggeration to be careful when facing such a strong man! What's more, Xiao Quan is a person who has fought many wars with us. He knows our tactics and strength, so we must be more careful."
Although Shatuo is only twenty-five years old now, he is very experienced and has no disadvantage of impulsiveness in young people.
"Shatuo, what do you mean is...?" Shi Shajing asked with a look of inquiring face.
"General Shi, I guess they came this time just to show off their military power to us and test our reality and not attack directly, so we can ignore them at all. In addition, I am afraid that Xiao Quan will bypass the Black Stone Pass fortress and divide his troops to attack various parts of Stormwind City, making it difficult for us to take care of each other from the head to the end." Shatuo said with a worried look on his face.
"Xiao Quan has tried the greatness of the Black Stone Pass fortress before. It would not be impossible for him to bypass the Black Stone Pass directly!"
"Segregate troops to attack? This..., it should be a short time." Shi Shajing hesitated and said, "The Black Stone Pass Fortress has always been in our hands. He dares to divide troops, aren't he afraid that we will intercept his retreat?"
Shishajing's words contained a hint of suspicion, and the danger of being cut off from the back. Anyone with a little IQ in the army would understand the danger. Shishajing really didn't believe that Xiao Quan would make such a low-level mistake.
After Shatuo stopped Shishajing's words, he said with a wry smile: "General, Xiao Quan only needs to leave five thousand black flame heavy cavalry here, which is enough to contain us here. We cannot cut off his retreat at all. At that time, he could easily divide his troops. General, don't forget that Xiao Quan's Black Wind Legion is all cavalry, coming and going like the wind. With the hundreds of cavalry of our Black Stone Pass defenders, going out of the city to intercept it is to send sheep into the tiger's mouth."
Hearing this, Shi Shajing asked with a moving face: "Shatuo, if things really develop like this, we must report to Stormwind City immediately and ask the Lord of Sha City to send cavalry to intercept. The Black Wind Legion has a large number of cavalry units, and our Stormwind City is not inferior to them."
"General, if we had not broken through the innate world before Xiao Quan had broken through the innate world, we could do this, but now Xiao Quan has broken through the innate world, so it is impossible for us to mobilize cavalry troops to deal with the cavalry troops of the Black Wind Legion. General, in our army, the cavalry troops can pose a threat to the innate world powerhouses.
If we mobilize the cavalry troops in Stormwind City, then what should we do if Xiao Quan directly enters Stormwind City and has a beheading tactic? If his father is killed by Xiao Quan, we can temporarily repel the attack of the Black Wind Legion. However, Stormwind City without its central bone will not be Xiao Quan's opponent." Sha Tuo explained with a worried look on his face.
"This..., this..., what should I do!" After hearing Shatuo's explanation, Shishajing was really anxious, "If this happens, wouldn't my Stormwind City be the target of the Black Wind Legion's plunder? In this case, it would be a big blow to Stormwind City!"
"Ah..., there is nothing we can do about it!" Sha Tuo said helplessly: "We must first ensure that the Black Stone Pass fortress is not lost. In this way, the Black Wind Legion will not be able to plunder the soldiers and loot near Stormwind City. This is also a way to minimize our losses. Alas...!"
