Chapter 175 Sweeping the World
Hebei, Pingyuan County!
This is the site of Dou Jiande, a warlord who has just raised his banner.
It wasn’t long before Dou Jiande raised his banner, and his mind was uncertain. In order to prevent people from causing trouble, he left army guards in every city he occupied.
"Boom..."
Suddenly, the earth shook, and there was a sound of thousands of troops marching in the distance, and the soldiers in Pingyuan County were immediately alarmed.
When they looked into the distance, they immediately saw the dust in the sky, and then saw an army like an endless tide, quickly submerging towards Pingyuan County.
"Not good, there is an enemy attack!"
The soldiers in Pingyuan County turned pale with fright when they saw the boundless army flooding in.
The entire Pingyuan County was in chaos.
They immediately closed the city gates and stood ready.
The tide-like army marched 500 meters away from Pingyuan City, and then stopped suddenly. There was no confusion, orders were banned, and discipline was strict, which made people feel scalp numb.
"Damn it, which faction's army is this, it's so extravagant, every soldier has iron armor, and even has heavy cavalry..."
Zhang Qingshi, a general under Dou Jiande's command, stood on the city wall and looked at at least 30,000 armored soldiers not far away, as well as about 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, and about 1,000 of them were carrying giant maces. And the mysterious legion wearing a mask and golden armor on their faces instantly broke out in fine cold sweat.
In Zhang Qingshi's eyes, this army is extravagant.
You know, in today's chaotic world, iron is a very precious resource.
Therefore, the legions controlled by most of the forces in the world are equipped with very few armors... Generally speaking, for a 100,000 army, it is already very good to be equipped with 10,000 armors and 300 vests. Moreover, the relatively rough cloth armor and leather armor still occupy the majority.
Only some general-level officers will be equipped with iron armor.
But what does he see now?
This army of unknown forces, more than 30,000 soldiers were all equipped with iron armor, and those more than 3,000 soldiers were also equipped with heavy armor. As for the last mysterious army of more than 1,000 mysteriously carrying maces, even Equipped with gold armor that is extremely expensive at first glance.
This is simply an army piled up with money.
Zhang Qingshi couldn't imagine any force in the world with such a terrifying army. Even the Xiaoguo Army in the Sui Dynasty didn't have such a luxury.
Facing such an army, Zhang Qingshi felt tremendous pressure...how could he be able to stop it with just over 3,000 ordinary soldiers under his command?
"Ruined!"
Zhang Qingshi's face was ashen, he knew that Pingyuan County was doomed.
At this time, the silent army below suddenly gave way, and two people rode to the front. One of them was a middle-aged general in armor, and the other was a scholar in Confucian robes.
"General Lin, how long do you think it will take for us to capture this city?"
Fang Xuanling smiled and looked at Lin Shihong beside him. In this army, Lin Shihong is the coach, and he is the military adviser.
"At most one hour, we can take Pingyuan County smoothly."
Lin Shihong looked around at the 30,000 armored soldiers, 3,000 heavy armored cavalry, and 1,000 dragon and elephant legions around him, feeling very proud.
With such elite soldiers, he is confident that there is no army in the world that is his opponent.
30,000 armored soldiers and 3,000 heavy armored cavalry are enough to shock the world. He believes that other than their Demon Sect, no force can afford such a luxurious army.
What's more, he still has 1,000 dragon elephant legions.
This Dragon Elephant Legion is a legion secretly built and cultivated by the Holy Emperor of the Demon Sect. Gong is supplemented by dragon-elephant panruo kung fu, and each of them has cultivated dragon-elephant panruo kung fu to more than four levels. Each of them is a warrior with infinite strength. Going down, even a first-class martial artist will be seriously injured if he does not die.
A dragon-elephant soldier might not be very powerful, at most he could be compared to a first-class fighter, but if hundreds or thousands of such dragon-elephant soldiers formed an army, it would be terrifying.
"Unfortunately, the Holy Emperor only gave us 1,000 dragon elephant soldiers. If you give me a few thousand more, just give me a month, and I can sweep the entire Hebei and Shandong."
Lin Shihong said a little dissatisfied.
Fang Xuanling heard the words and smiled slightly: "General Lin, you should be content. Dragon and elephant soldiers are not easy to train, even His Royal Highness Jin Wang only trained 10,000 soldiers.
In order to train and help these soldiers practice Baichuan Nahai Kungfu and Dragon Elephant Panruo Kungfu, His Royal Highness Jin Wang almost privately captured all the felons and death row prisoners who knew martial arts from the previous dynasty for them to devour their skills. Even all the bandits and bandits within our sphere of influence have been taken down... Not to mention, we have to pay astronomical amounts of cultivation resources.
His Royal Highness King Jin can assign us 1,000 dragon elephant soldiers, which is already very good. "
"Haha, this general is just talking, how dare we bury the Holy Emperor." Lin Shihong laughed, and then said slightly seriously, "However, we can't stay in such a small city for too long. You know, under the command of the Holy Emperor, this Our army is not the only one dispatched at one time, we must defeat Dou Jiande as soon as possible, otherwise the other armies will be the first to make great contributions, and I, the head of the White Tiger Hall, and you, the military adviser, will lose face."
Fang Xuanling's eyes flashed when he heard the words, and he nodded, "Yes, we must be the first to make great contributions. Dou Jiande is not our opponent, but we must be fast. General, order to attack the city!"
Lin Shihong nodded slightly, swung his right hand forward suddenly, and shouted angrily: "Kill!"
In an instant, 30,000 armored soldiers rushed towards Pingyuan County like a tide, and many of them carried siege ladders.
In Pingyuan County, Zhang Qingshi and the soldiers under his command looked at the armored soldiers coming like a tide, and felt the overwhelming murderous aura, all of them turned pale.
"Block, be sure to block..."
Zhang Qingshi yelled wildly at the city wall, commanding the soldiers under his command.
Soon, many siege ladders were erected on the city wall, and armored soldiers climbed up the siege ladders one by one, fighting with the soldiers defending the city.
The equipment of the two sides is too far apart.
Soldiers defending the city basically wore crude cloth armor, and their weapons were of low quality. It is incomparable with the shining iron armor and the cold light of the armored soldiers.
When the attack of the defending soldiers falls on the Iron Armored Soldiers, except for a very few attacks that hit vital points, most of the attacks are difficult to seriously injure the Iron Armored Soldiers.
But when the armored soldiers' attack fell on the defenders, the defenders were either severely injured or died.
In just a short while, the soldiers defending the city suffered heavy casualties and retreated steadily.
At this moment, a drum sounded from below, and the armored soldiers who had the upper hand suddenly retreated, and even the siege ladder was lifted away.
This baffled Zhang Qingshi and the heavy casualties of the defenders... The opponent had clearly gained the upper hand. They only needed to fight for an hour or so before they could take Pingyuan County. Why did they suddenly retreat at this time?
However, when Zhang Qingshi was thinking wildly with many guarding soldiers, an earth-shattering sound suddenly came from the city gate... The entire city gate was blown to pieces.
It's over!
Zhang Qingshi and the guarding soldiers looked at the bombed-out city gate, their minds went blank. They never imagined that the other party had such a terrifying weapon.
"Hahaha, the gunpowder bomb that the Holy Emperor ordered Lu Miaozi to make is indeed a siege weapon. This will not only greatly reduce our casualties, but also save us time."
Lin Shihong laughed out loud, and pointed his long sword at Pingyuan County: "Heavy armored cavalry are in front, dragon and elephant troops are in the center, and armored soldiers are behind. Let me charge!"
In a short time, 3,000 heavy armored cavalry and 1,000 dragon elephants rushed towards the gate of Pingyuan County, followed by 30,000 armored soldiers.
The densely packed army entered Pingyuan County like a torrent. Zhang Qingshi and the guarding soldiers had no time to resist it, nor could they resist it.
Half an hour later, Zhang Qingshi died in battle, and all the remaining defenders surrendered.
…
And not long after Lin Shihong's army captured Pingyuan County, the other three armies under Ning Que's command also captured Muyang in Li Zitong's sphere of influence, Tongchuan in the Li Clan's sphere of influence in Guanzhong, and Wagang Army's sphere of influence. Huai County.
…
Half a month later, the entire Hebei, most of the Jiangdu area, one-third of the Guanzhong area, and most of the Wagang Army's sphere of influence were all occupied by the Demon Sect army in a devastating manner. The Demon Sect army has already swept the world.
In the world, almost all forces panicked and regarded the demon army as a scourge.
Make up for yesterday's second update!
