Chapter 165: They are all elite troops, just attack fiercely!
"General, what should we do now?"
Seeing the Sultan so anxious, his generals asked cautiously.
The Sultan stopped abruptly, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Pass the order down, select 50,000 soldiers, follow this general to Zhennan Pass, and support our wild friends!"
"Also, send someone to the capital as fast as possible to report this to the king and request reinforcements!"
"promise!"
For a moment, the entire Yuenan Kingdom was in motion.
Countless soldiers gathered, war horses neighed, and a tense atmosphere of impending storm enveloped the earth.
Yuenan Kingdom, the royal city.
"Have you heard? The army of the Great Zhou is coming. I heard there are 150,000 of them!"
"What?! Fifteen thousand? Oh my God! Is Da Zhou really going to attack us?"
"That's right! I heard they are coming with great force this time. I heard the Seventh Prince defeated Japan. Who is he?"
"Oh, please stop talking. What should we do? Can General Sultan stop it?"
"This...this...who knows? I hope General Sultan can turn the tide and keep Yuenan safe!"
In the streets and alleys, in teahouses and taverns, people were talking about the invasion of the Great Zhou.
The people were in a panic, fearing that the war would reach their doorsteps, and prayed that General Sultan would be able to repel the powerful enemy and protect their homes.
And at this time.
Chu Yang, who was hundreds of miles away, knew nothing about this.
He was standing on a hillside, looking at Zhennan Pass in the distance, with a sneer on his lips.
"Sultan, I want to see what you can do to stop me!"
Chu Yang looked at Zhennan Pass in the distance. This majestic pass was like a natural barrier blocking his progress southward.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a scornful smile.
"Military Advisor, what's the best way to break through this barrier?"
Chu Yang turned and asked Wang Meng beside him, with a hint of teasing in his tone.
Wang Meng saluted and said, "Your Highness, our army now has 150,000 soldiers and is very powerful. It is the time when morale is high as a rainbow."
"In my opinion, we don't need any clever tricks. We just need to attack Huanglong with one blow and break through the pass with the force of thunder, so as to show our military might!"
Chu Yang laughed loudly when he heard this: "Military Advisor Wang still understands me! Pass the order down, beat the drums and prepare for battle!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!".
The deafening sound of war drums resounded through the sky, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou were all excited and eager to fight.
They had long heard that the Seventh Prince was brave and good at fighting, and now that they had seen it with their own eyes, their morale was greatly boosted.
Chu Yang looked around and his eyes fell on Zhang Liao.
"General Zhang, are you confident in this battle?"
Zhang Liao clasped his fists and answered loudly: "Don't worry, Your Highness! Back then, I defeated 100,000 with only 800 men. Today, we have 150,000 troops here. The small town of Nanguan is nothing to worry about!"
"Okay! I will wait for the general to return victoriously!"
Chu Yang waved his hand with heroic spirit.
Zhang Liao mounted his horse and led his massive army towards Zhennan Pass.
On the city wall of Zhennan Pass.
The Sultan was dressed in military uniform, holding the city wall with his hands, gazing at the dark mass in the distance, his face so gloomy that it seemed as if water could drip out of it.
He never expected that the war, which he thought was a sure win, would become so difficult because of the sudden appearance of 120,000 troops.
"General, the Great Zhou army is coming aggressively, how should we respond?"
The deputy general at the side asked worriedly.
The Sultan snorted coldly and said, "What are you afraid of? We have 50,000 elite soldiers and 100,000 wild warriors from the mountains to help us. I don't believe we can't stop these weaklings from the Great Zhou!"
As soon as he finished speaking, deafening shouts of killing were heard.
The Sultan looked carefully and saw that the Great Zhou army was approaching the city.
The leading general, holding a goose-feather knife and leading the troops, was Zhang Liao!
Zhang Liao rode his horse to the front of the battle formation, pointed his long sword at the tower, and roared like a bell: "Listen, barbarians on the city wall, if you know what's good for you, open the city gates and surrender quickly. Otherwise, when our army breaks through the city, you will be wiped out!"
The Sultan was furious when he heard this and shouted, "How dare you say such nonsense! Someone, shoot me!"
For a moment, arrows rained down on Zhang Liao under the city.
Zhang Liao sneered and swung the long sword in his hand, forming an impenetrable sword net that blocked all the incoming arrows.
The soldiers behind him also raised their shields, forming an indestructible shield wall to keep the rain of arrows out.
"kill!"
At Zhang Liao's command, the Zhou army rushed towards the city wall like a tide, ladders were set up, and battering rams hit the city gates. A brutal siege began.
And just then.
Countless savages wearing animal skins and holding crude weapons suddenly emerged from the forests on both sides of Zhennan Pass. They roared like wild beasts and rushed madly towards the Great Zhou army.
"Your Highness, the barbarians are cunning! They have set up an ambush!"
A personal soldier exclaimed, with a hint of panic in his tone.
"Why panic!"
Chu Yang sneered, without any fear in his eyes, "A bunch of rabble, dare to act so presumptuously in front of me!"
He waved his hand, and the 'Great Snow Dragon Cavalry' and 'Flag Soldiers' that had been ambushing on both sides launched a fierce attack on the savages like tigers descending from the mountains.
The 'Great Snow Dragon Cavalry' were clad in heavy armor, holding spears, and riding all-white war horses. They were like a white whirlwind blowing across the snowy plains, unstoppable.
Wherever they passed, the savages were knocked away and trampled like scarecrows, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.
The "flag soldiers" were even more bizarre. They wore black tights and held black flags in their hands. They looked so dark and overwhelming that they gave people an overwhelming sense of power.
At the same time, the flags in their hands were spears. They dealt with those savages like facing straw, killing them indiscriminately!
See this scene.
The Sultan on the city wall was terribly surprised. He had never expected that the barbarian warriors he was so proud of could be so vulnerable.
"Trash! They are all a bunch of trash!"
the Sultan roared in frustration.
"General, what should we do now?" the deputy general asked with a pale face and trembling voice.
"What else can I do? Hold on! You must hold on!"
The Sultan's eyes were red, and he looked crazy. "As long as we can stop their first wave of attack, we can wait for reinforcements!"
"Reinforcements? Where are the reinforcements coming from?"
The deputy general smiled bitterly and said, "The Great Zhou army is coming with great force. We have long been cut off from the outside world. How could there be any reinforcements?"
"What do you know!"
The Sultan roared, "I have already sent people to ask His Majesty for instructions. Your Majesty will definitely send a large army to support us!"
The deputy general wanted to say something else, but was frightened by the Sultan's fierce look and dared not speak again.
Below the city wall, the battle continued.
Zhang Liao led the army and fought bravely against the enemy under the rain of arrows from the city walls.
They are like tireless war machines, constantly reaping the lives of their enemies.
"kill!"
