In the excuse of "protecting" the life safety of General Wen Yuanwen, Yang Tian let his army stick to Wen Yuan's central army tightly. The two million troops slowly moved forward in the wilderness like a giant python. Wen Yuan had no choice but to order all fronts to maintain the safest distance and ready to support friendly troops at any time. Although Yang Tian's fronts were too close to the central army, they had no conflict with his orders.

A group of generals of the Central Army had to follow Wen Yuan and smiled bitterly, watching Yang Tian ride a horse back and forth in the middle and Xu Road, refusing to leave one more step. Zeng Guoxuan raised his head and sighed: "Boss, I really don't understand you anymore. Why should I follow the Central Army? We have millions of troops and horses under our command, and everything is good. It's so comfortable to grab a city at will... Following the Central Army, even if you want to play with a girl, you have to be careful that the judges in the army are causing trouble. Why should we?"

Yang Tian shook his head and drove the horse under his seat to take steps and play with all kinds of fancy moves. He said without raising his head: "You idiot, you have been wandering around for a long time, and there is a nonsense city for us to play. Besides, God knows whether the Black Cloud Legion has increased its troops. Before we figure out the exact strength of the other party, we should follow the Central Army. After all, most artillery is under the jurisdiction of the Central Army. Even if millions of them rushed over, we are not afraid. right?"

Jiang Chunshui suddenly realized: "Boss is the best person on the battlefield, just save your life, right? Girl, can't you play? Besides, I saw several villages passing by on the road. It seems that the girls inside don't take a bath once a year. Are you interested in the eldest son?"

Zeng Guoxuan recalled the villagers in the village on the way, and quickly grinned and said without interest: "I'll give it, I won't do it. Even if I'll do it myself, those girls are worthy of being from the Black Cloud Empire. They are all dirty and have no interest."

A long distance away, a team of more than 100 people in dark green armor appeared. The horses under their seats were all black, and the silver-white knight spear in their hands gave people such a strange feeling. They stood on the spot like stone pillars, and even the horses didn't move a little.

General Li, who had the best eyesight among the generals, found the team of knights and quickly reported it. Yang Tian raised his eyes and looked at him for a while, then quickly rode his horse to Wenyuan, shouting: "Master, Grand Marshal, there is an enemy situation ahead."

Wen Yuan, who was bowing his head and pondering, suddenly looked up, stared at Yang Tian for a while, and spat fiercely: "There are only more than one hundred people, no more than one hundred and fifty people at most. What's so surprising? Three hundred people in the front army will kill them."

Three hundred knights rushed out of the cavalry brigade on the Western continent cheered and one of the guys who led the way shouted: "Brothers, you can't let others beat you up. You always say that we don't know how to charge in a regular cavalry. Damn, let them see how powerful we are this time." In his words, they obviously meant the army of the Celestial Empire.

Sure enough, three hundred cavalrymen from the Western continent, which were originally suitable for guerrilla cavalry and shooting, lined up in an irregular square formation, and rushed towards the green armored knights ten miles away. General Bai, who was specializing in cavalry fighting in Yangtian's brigade, slapped his forehead and let out a weak moan: "They are idiots, they are in light leather armor and the opponent's heavy armored knights charge head-on. Fuck, they are worthy of being barbarians from the Western continent and a group of idiots."

Yang Tian snorted violently, kicked him off the horse with a fierce kick, and cursed: "Damn, I am also from the Western Continent. Are I also an idiot and a barbarian?" General Bai knew that he had made a mistake, so he begged repeatedly and quickly climbed onto the horse's back.

The knights in green armor suddenly activated, driving the horses under their seats to scatter, forming loose and interlaced formations and rushed towards the murderous cavalry. The snow-white silver knight spears drew afterimages in the air. A bloody hole appeared on the necks of the three hundred cavalry almost at the same time, and the bodies were lifted high. The knights also slapped their horses, sneering, and retreating like flying.

Wen Yuan snorted coldly, his face was unpleasant. The cavalry commander of the Western continent looked extremely difficult to see, and he became wailed on the spot. Yang Tian shook his head and applauded loudly: "I heard that the bullshit royal family of the Black Cloud Empire has five direct legions. I wonder which boss of the whole journey has come? But it seems that their five legions have been destroyed by us, right? What is left is..."

Vaster stood on the ruins, listened to the report of the reconnaissance team that rushed back overnight, and rewarded the team with more than a hundred knights with satisfaction, saying proudly: "It is still the strongest of our 'Fallen' legion. What shit's 'Shenghua', 'Blood Night' and 'Nightmare'? Haven't they all been killed by others now?"

Vaster issued a loud command, and the eight million troops near the imperial capital were drawn at the same time, retreating quickly to the rear. All the materials that could be used were taken away. More than 100,000 remaining people in the imperial capital were also forcibly taken away. The army slowly retreated to the Black Cloud Continent and another mountainous area at the junction of the continent.

Vaster's order was as follows: "All the great lords along the way must devote all the excess food and grass, and it is strictly forbidden to leave anything that might be used by the aliens." He was very satisfied with his decision. After all, the Celestial Army was working on an expedition. As long as he controlled the food and grass, could the other party still fight?

At the same time, Wen Yuan had ordered: "All fronts should speed up their pace, and the other side is not far away from us... Governor Yang, where is the place ahead... Among us, you are the only one who has been so far, right?"

Yang Tian thought for a while and said, "It seems to be their imperial capital. I bombed a lot of artillery against their imperial capital a few years ago. Unfortunately, the troops were not strong enough and I couldn't conquer it, otherwise the war would be over." He looked very complacent.

Wen Yuan nodded: "Then, all the major fronts are gathering in their imperial capital. From common sense, their emperor is impossible to be in the imperial capital... Governor Yang, if you get the opportunity to bombard their imperial capital, that is luck, not the opportunity to truly rely on military strategy. The most important thing in war is to carefully calculate every decision. If you rely solely on luck, you cannot win."

Yang Tian listened to Wen Yuan's opinion modestly, but was afraid that Wen Yuan would continue to preach in a long way, so he quickly jumped back into his own queue and avoided it from afar. A large number of scouts in the front army were sent out. In order to prevent encountering the opponent's elite cavalry team, each scout team maintained at about 500 people.

News kept coming: "The enemy's capital is already in ruins."

"There are no traces of people in the imperial capital." "The enemy was not found, and they were exploring forward." "The traces of the large army were discovered, and the direction was east." "The opponent's rear legion was discovered, with a population of about 100,000, and there were many civilians mixed in it."

Then, there was no news afterwards. The scout team that stared at Vaster's tail was made into dumplings by the knights of the "Fallen" legion. After killing more than a dozen "Fallen" knights, they were chopped into meat sauce. Their heads were picked up high by the black cloud soldiers with wooden sticks and inserted them on the ground.

Vaster felt uncomfortable now. He keenly realized the strength of the Celestial Army. Those ordinary scouts could kill more than a dozen of his subordinates in the face of the "fallen" knights ten times that of them. The fighting spirit and tactical qualities they showed were also those that they had never discovered in the enemies they had encountered before. Looking at the swords that were seized from the Celestial Scouts Brigade, Vaster had to exclaim: "This kind of enemy is something we cannot resist now... Damn, our current soldiers and armor cannot resist such a finely crafted sword."

Tungulas reached out and took the shiny sword, danced a few swords gently, chopped the upper armor of a soldier beside him into pieces, and then looked at the blade without any gap, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Damn it, our marching speed must be accelerated. If we are entangled by them, the soldiers' current equipment will not be able to fight them."

Vaster urged loudly: "Notify all generals and the soldiers should speed up their pace. As long as they can reach the "Soul Lost" pass, the Empire has built a supply castle there, new armor, weapons and horses waiting for us. We must speed up, fast, fast, fast..."

Tungulas began patrolling around with his men, keeping shouting: "Damn it, hurry up. Do you have to wait for the aliens to cut you into pieces? Hurry up, hurry up... Everyone, work harder, there is still twenty days left to get new equipment."

Two days later, Wen Yuan's central army, Yang Tian's army and the men led by Qiong Daotian arrived at the place where the scout brigade was destroyed. Five hundred and seventy people were headed high on the wooden pole, and below were their war horses. Qiong Daotian stroked the patterns on his spear and cursed in a low voice, "Damn it, these miscellaneous people, just kill people, don't let the war horses go? They are really a group of prodigal sons."

Wen Yuan snorted coldly: "They are establishing their authority, and they want our horses to be eliminated without leaving them... I want to see who destroyed whom... Governor Yang, the territory of Duke Cres you mentioned should be ahead, right?"

Yang Tian nodded and said, "That's right, the territory of that old guy Cres is in the northeast of the Black Cloud Continent. If the Black Cloud Army wants to retreat to another continent, it must pass through his territory... However, Cres does not have enough strength to leave the Black Cloud Army. His so-called elite soldiers and generals can be killed with one finger."

Wen Yuan smiled: "That's good. At least we have a place to supply food and grass. Is it? How are you resettled Cres's son? But when we were against us, Cres couldn't figure it out and played tricks for us."

Yang Tian licked his lips and said, "Impossible, that old guy is still dreaming of being the founding monarch of the Cres Empire. I broke up all his hundreds of thousands of people and assigned to the defense line of the "Wild Horse Plain". His son also found a few beauties to accompany him in the "City of Paradise" for free, not afraid that he would dare to have any other intentions."

Wen Yuan nodded, gritted his teeth and said, "That's good, that's good. Who of you leads a light cavalry to pursue them first? You can't make them feel better, and you can also give the brigade some time to catch up with them. Now they are leading by about two to three days. If we just follow them like this, we will be too passive."

Qiong Daotian raised his spear and showed a murderous aura and said viciously: "Master, I'll go, I want to see how much combat power the Black Cloud Legion now has. Give me a hundred thousand elite light cavalry. With you behind you, you are not afraid of being surrounded by them."

Without any breath, there was no farewell ceremony, etc., with enough arrows and godmother, Qiong Daotian led the 100,000 light cavalry to set off. Yang Tian looked at the direction he was passing, feeling a little uneasy. Zeng Guoxuan secretly muttered behind his back: "Damn, the city we had last time was there, so don't be a mess..."

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

The army of the Celestial Empire gathered in the rear, and then accelerated to follow the traces in the wilderness. The light cavalry led by Qiong Daotian rushed to the road day and night, but they curled up under the horse's belly for one to two hours every day. Along the way, there were rotten and smelly corpses, or piles of broken bones everywhere, and many villages were destroyed, and even those cities were rarely protected. The losses caused by the Immortal Army to the Black Cloud Empire were too great.

In order to avoid risks, Qiong Daotian's horse team did not approach the cities where people were still active, and often whistled by the small villages. The villagers' eyes were curious first, and then they suddenly realized the deep hatred.

Qiong Daotian sighed inwardly: "Even if I really conquered these three continents in the end, it would be a troublesome thing to conquer the hearts of these ordinary people... What's the matter with me? The headache is Yang Tian and the others? Anyway, my fiefdom is not here, damn..."

After chasing for two days, Qiong Daotian encountered something that surprised them. A huge manor was filled with thick black smoke, and gorgeously dressed corpses everywhere. It was obvious that there were all good materials, but even if there was no button left on the corpse, it was probably probably that the gems or gold and silver buttons were mostly taken away. There were still some small piles of food and grass on the ground, while some people with cold faces and ragged clothes stood outside the fire to watch the fun, without any intention of putting out the fire.

Qiong Daotian reacted instantly: "Damn it, the Black Cloud Legion is in the clearing field, and there is no food or grass left for us... I don't know which great nobleman is unlucky. If he refuses to give out food and grass, he will die, right? Brothers, hurry up, depending on the situation, their troops have just passed."

The speed of the 100,000 light cavalry accelerated, and the sound of horse hooves resounded throughout the field. After less than half an hour of chasing, a team of scattered black cloud soldiers appeared in Qiong Daotian's vision, which was about 200,000 people. There were many food and grass carriages and other supplies in the queue. Some of the carriages were constantly up and down, and there were shrill howling women's howlings came from inside.

A faint golden airflow appeared on Qiong Daotian's body again. Soon, the airflow turned into a rapid storm. The thick fighting spirit wrapped the whole person up. He issued a dull order: "Kill, dispel them." Hundreds of thousands of sabers were raised, and Qiong Daotian rushed out with one horse.

With just two miles of impact, at the point where the divine power burst, Qiong Daotian picked up more than a dozen full-loaded food trucks, and yellow grains and wheat were flying all over the sky, and then a little bit of blood splashed out. With the sharp sound of breaking through the air, hundreds of thousands of sharp arrows came in the air, and tens of thousands of black cloud soldiers fell on the ground like hedgehogs, and blood immediately dyed a large piece of the huge canvas.

Qiong Daotian kept yelling loudly in Black Cloud Mandarin: "Those who block the way will die, those who block me will die..." The cavalry behind him also repeated these short syllables in the same way. The saber in his hand continued to sweep across and vertically, throwing the weapons in his hands on the food truck. The black cloud soldiers who were throwing the blood and splattering their heads.

Soon, these soldiers behind the palace abandoned their protected carriages and fled forward desperately. Since the person who blocked Qiong Daotian must die, then don’t block him. Anyway, Marshal Vaster also has orders. Don’t fight against the soldiers of the Celestial Empire. After all, their equipment is much better than their own, right?

In this way, Qiong Daotian chased the defeated soldiers and caught up with their brigade, and then stabbed them hard. The black cloud soldiers who were exhausted for several days had no reaction at all, so they were killed and turned over. When the knights of the "Fallen" legion arrived, Qiong Daotian had already taken people away.

The knights of the "Fallen" Legion angrily scolded the attacked soldiers, supervised them to reorganize the team, abandoned the injured soldiers, and quickly followed the team. Then they rushed to the central army ahead.

But as soon as they left, Qiong Daotian came back, and still messed up the rear of the Black Cloud Legion. The furious Vaster personally brought people to support him, but only saw the tail of the last horse of Qiong Daotian's cavalry team swaying in the distance.

In this way, Qiong Daotian kept harassing along the way, not facing the elite knights of Vaster head-on, slowing down the speed of the entire Black Cloud Army. Vaster, who was in a hurry, dared not relax his vigilance at all. God knew whether it was the large army of the Celestial Empire or a small number of cavalry? He delayed all the way, and he didn't even have time to ask Cres to hand over the food and supplies. Vaster's army had approached the "Lost Soul" pass.

The army led by Wen Yuan finally arrived. Along the way, they swept through the cities without much population, leaving two or three thousand people to guard each city, and finally arrived when Qiong Daotian was almost exhausted. Yang Tian sneaked out halfway and sneaked back three days later. Of course, tens of thousands of people were added to his team, but his subordinates would not expose him. Other generals did not know about this, so Yang Tian steadily hid the matter. Otherwise, according to Wen Yuan's temper, if he knew that Yang Tian had left tens of thousands of soldiers in the most dangerous place behind the enemy, he would have to beat him dozens of military sticks.

The vast vast army of Celestial Dynasties rushed over as soon as they saw Vaster's brigade. Vaster, who was forced to do so, had no choice but to give the most shameless order in the history of the Black Cloud Empire: "Didn't you catch more than one million people along the way? Leave them behind and let them block the knife. Damn, let's hurry into the mountain pass, and it will be safe when you enter."

So, the Black Cloud soldiers behind the hall pulled out their weapons and cut a fatal blow on the people around them, making them unable to run fast. Then they abandoned the people who were supposed to be protected by them and quickly fled to the "Lost Soul" mountain pass.

The Celestial Army hesitated for a moment. They were blocked by the millions of people, but without the orders of their superiors, they had no reason to kill them. Especially when they saw the bloody eyes of the people who were struggling and begging for mercy, the Celestial soldiers who had not yet filled the murderous aura seemed to be not ready to massacre them.

But the new recruits collected from another continent were different. They all remembered the hatred of their land when they were ruled by the Black Cloud Empire, and the scene of their oppression by the people of the Black Cloud Empire. If they were to face the regular army of the Black Cloud Empire, they would probably not be their opponents, but if they were to cut the sharp steel knife at the people of Black Cloud who had no ability to resist, this would be the thing they would most willing to do.

So, soldiers of the Black Cloud Empire in black armor poured into the "Loud Soul" pass dozens of miles ahead, leaving a large number of people wearing civilians in the middle. In the rear, the soldiers of the Celestial Empire slowly retreated and rectified, while the local troops recruited and trained by the Celestial Empire drew out big swords and happily killed them.

Have you seen the magnificent landscape of one million people flying in the air? The sunset spread blood-red light from behind the Celestial Army on the entire earth. One million heads carried countless blood dots and flew in the air. One million faces were filled with incredible, fear, hatred, pain, despair, humble begging for mercy and other negative expressions. There were still vaguely screams from one million people, and the sound of a blood-stained big sword in the air.

The last soldier from the Black Cloud Empire poured into the "Loose Soul" pass. The heavy iron gate fell. Vaster also breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at the Celestial Army in the distance, smiled a few times, and walked down the watchtower with a swagger. What are more than one million ordinary people? As long as he can rely on natural dangers to eliminate the Celestial Army and recover the Black Cloud Continent at the "Loose Soul" pass, he will be the greatest hero of the empire.

Wen Yuan did not order the new recruits who were slaughtering without getting the order, and said lightly: "It's late, camp, pay attention to patrol, and discuss countermeasures after dawn."

××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××××

There was nothing to say all night until dawn, Wen Yuan and others who looked at the "Lost Soul" mountain pass took a breath and understood why the Black Cloud Empire actually gave up the entire Black Cloud Continent and chose the place for the decisive battle here.

A huge granite mountain range stretches from south to north. Just facing the Black Cloud Continent is a cliff that is thousands of feet high. It is flat and has no place to climb. Only the "Loud Soul" pass has a natural valley about ten miles wide. At the entrance of the valley, the Black Cloud Empire has deployed a huge city wall in just half a year.

The walls, which are at least two hundred feet tall, are built by huge granite blocks of radius of about 200 feet, with towering arrow towers and turrets above. There are roughly every meter of the city wall, a row of sharp blades protruding, with dense barbs on them, completely cutting off the possibility of climbing. Countless swords and swords flashed from the top of the city. In the middle of the city wall, the small dark holes were obviously muzzles and arrows opened for the soldiers inside the city wall.

It is roughly estimated that the thickness of the city wall is at least more than three hundred feet, and there are countless fortifications on it, which is enough to launch a bloody battle of hundreds of thousands of people on it. Of course, the Black Cloud Empire, which has the advantage of fortifications, will definitely become the winner.

Wen Yuan sighed: "I finally understand why they don't even want the land where they made their fortune. Instead of asking for a ravaged continent to increase their burden, it is better to abandon it completely and destroy us in the future and recover it."

Yang Tian looked bitterly: "Damn, our highest ladder is only fifty feet, and the fucking wall is at least two hundred feet, so I can't climb up... Can you use zha medicine? I'm afraid that all our zha medicines can't break a hole."

Qiong Daotian was also stunned and said dryly: "The people in the Black Cloud Empire are crazy. I know that you are the last line of defense, but there is no need to exaggerate this way, right? Damn, just a few million people, how can you break through such a city wall?"

A military supervisor with a little bit of military knowledge lamented: "Fortunately we have the guy named Cres to supply food and grass, otherwise we wouldn't have to fight at all. We would have to starve to death in less than half a year..."

Long Feng shook his head speechlessly: "Damn, this city wall is simply perverted. Damn, if I were asked to command and attack such a city wall, it would be almost the same to give me a planetary main cannon. With such conditions now, there is clearly nothing I can do about it."

Zeng Guoxuan was nagging weakly: "Boss, should we try it? Let's see if we can blow it down with a sneeze, so there is no need to hit it. There is nothing we can do about it..." No one paid attention to him.
Chapter completed!
