The Emperor is Above

Chapter 488 The Enemy Has Appeared (350+ additional chapters)

"hiss--"

Qing Yi opened the letter and took a quick look. He couldn't help but hold his forehead and said thankfully, "Fortunately, Brother Dazhu arrived with the Great Wilderness Dragon Eagle and reinforcements first, otherwise Xuanwei City would have been completely destroyed this time!"

"Mr. Yi of Longcheng, what on earth is going on in Xuanwei City?" Yang Lezi, Shen Bumie, Shen Buhai and others gathered around curiously.

Everyone took turns taking Shi Dazhu's letter, and only then did they understand what had happened in Xuanwei City. The ones attacking the city were only a small group of the Ghost Witch Tribe, and their strength was still far greater than the city's defensive force.

Just a few simple feint attacks caused heavy casualties among the Xuanwei city guards and young militiamen, putting the city's defense in jeopardy.

The doctor defending the city was unfortunately killed in battle on the city wall the day after he covered the city captain's escape for help, which dealt a heavy blow to the fighting spirit of the soldiers and civilians defending the city.

The totem warriors of the Ghost Witch Tribe who were attacking the city were annoyed at the determined will of the city defender, and in order to undermine the psychology of the soldiers defending the city, they actually snatched his body away.

Under the city wall, in front of thousands of soldiers and young militiamen, they ate the body of the city defense doctor until only a pile of bones was left.

In the following days, these savages from the Ghost Witch Tribe gathered around the countryside and brought those civilians who had not had time to escape to the city. A bloody scene was played out every day.

Xuanwei City was in extreme danger at that time. The city captain fled for help, the city defender died in battle, and the few remaining captains of the city guard army suffered emotional breakdown and were almost unable to lead the defense.

At the most critical moment, a military commander who was very prestigious among the city guards stepped forward in time to take on the heavy responsibility and led the soldiers and civilians of the entire city to defend the city.

In fact, everyone could see at this time that the Ghost Witch Tribe was feinting an attack, which allowed them to defend themselves. Even so, it was still very difficult to hold on.

Upon learning that they had successfully mobilized the coalition forces of Yangwu City to come to support, the Ghost Witch Tribe, which had lost interest in playing, decided to capture the city. At that time, hundreds of totem warriors had already taken the lead in attacking the city.

Just when the situation was most critical, reinforcements led by Shi Dazhu arrived in time, and two hundred Qing Yi private soldiers worked together to kill the totem warriors who rushed into the city.

With the help of mountain cat Dabao, little flying bear and twenty wild dragon vultures, Shi Dazhu defeated the Ghost Witch tribe and forced them to flee, beheading at least tens of thousands of people.

In the last few sentences of the letter, Shi Dazhu expressed his guilt. Since the situation was urgent at the time, he was unable to retain his strength. It was estimated that the Ghost Witch Tribe already knew the true strength of Qing Yi's subordinates.

After everyone had read the letter in turn, Qing Yi said thoughtfully, "The Ghost Witch Division that attacked Xuanwei City only had a few high-level totem warriors.

Although there are 20,000 people, they are all ordinary barbarian tribesmen. It seems that this should be a vassal army of the Ghost Witch Tribe. The real Ghost Witch Tribe army has not appeared. "

"Shaoqing Yi of Longcheng, do you think the real army of the Ghost Witch Tribe is heading towards Xuanwei City to ambush us, or is it moving us away and then attacking Yangwu City?"

Yang Lezi's eyes were full of worry. If the army continued to march towards Xuanwei City, he was worried that they would fall into the trap of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

"If the Ghost Witch Tribe attacks Yangwu City shortly after we leave, even if we turn back immediately, it will be useless in the end."

Qing Yi smiled and said, "The Ghost Witch Tribe has always thought highly of itself, and has placed itself on an equal footing with the Black Wind Tribe. Now that the Black Wind Tribe has established the Black Wind Kingdom and seized a large area of ​​the Lu Kingdom, its momentum has increased, and the people of the wilderness have flocked to it.

The Ghost Witch Tribe has long been eyeing the northern border. Now that they are provoked by the Black Wind Tribe, they will definitely seize the twelve cities in the northern border and plan to establish a ghost kingdom on earth.

I have been thinking on the road these two days that the Ghost Witch Tribe's target this time is indeed the entire Northern Border, but before that they must completely eliminate our coalition forces before they have a chance to dominate the Northern Border.

My suggestion is that the army continues to march towards Xuanwei City, and find an opportunity to withdraw all the 70,000 to 80,000 people in and outside the city to the vicinity of Yangwu City for resettlement. Only by concentrating the population can we better cope with the upcoming chaos." "Shaoqing's suggestion is good! When the Xianyu tribe was expelled and the twelve cities in the northern border were built a hundred years ago, the main purpose was to prevent this vast territory from being occupied by the Ghost Witch Tribe.

Otherwise, at that time, the State of Xing only needed to control the border fortresses to obtain the strategic location, and there was no need to spend so much money to build cities and relocate population.

Now the Northern Wasteland is about to be in chaos, and with the Xianyu, Yuezhi, and other tribes heading south, it would be more advantageous to defend if we gather all the populations of the cities in the Northern Frontier together.”

Yang Lezi thought carefully for a long time, still very worried, "I am just worried whether Yangwu City can hold out until we return. The Ghost Witch Tribe sent 20,000 troops to feint an attack on Xuanwei City. It is definitely not just a test."

Qing Yi smiled faintly: "Shang Qing, have you forgotten the city defense formation prepared by the masters of the Mage Camp? And Mr. Kui Wendou is in charge of the formation.

I have prepared a big surprise for the Ghost Witch Tribe. It would be fine if they don’t attack Yangwu City, but if they do, let them enjoy it.”

Yang Lezi thought about it and nodded in agreement: "Since Shaoqing has already prepared for this, then let's proceed according to your idea.

However, scouts must be sent out more frequently along the route, and the Golden Eagle Cavalry must also be sent out to investigate in case the Ghost Witch Tribe sets up an ambush.

The lesson learned from the Right Division's defeat in the Black Wind Tribe's ambush and loss of most of its troops ten years ago must not be repeated in our hands. Our Xing State cannot afford any more losses."

As the army continued to prepare for its march, Shen Bubing sent out a thousand light cavalry scouts under his command, and Qing Yi also sent out a thousand red-steed cavalry scouts, and the scouts advanced fifty miles to search repeatedly.

All sixty golden eagle riders under Shen Buhai's command were also sent out to search the sky for any clues within a hundred miles, but they still did not find anything unusual.

The more they couldn't find any trace of the Ghost Witch Tribe's army, the heavier their hearts became, as this showed that the Ghost Witch Tribe's plan was really too big.

It is a thousand miles from Yangwu City to Xuanwei City. The elite army can advance two hundred miles a day by marching morning and evening, and it only takes five days to arrive.

When they were camping only 200 miles away from Xuanwei City, the Golden Eagle Cavalry in the sky finally discovered the movements of the main force of the Ghost Witch Tribe.

This army of Ghost Witches is located about a hundred miles to the southeast and is urgently moving towards the location of the coalition forces. The main force of the Ghost Witches will arrive at the battlefield at dawn tomorrow.

This news made Yang Lezi Shangqing feel relieved: "It's good that the Ghost Witch Tribe has arrived. If they had chosen to attack Yangwu City, I would have been very worried."

Shen Bubing's eyes were filled with a hint of pride: "Humph, the Ghost Witch Tribe is really brave. They know that we have tens of thousands of coalition forces here, but they still want to fight us.

Tomorrow, when we see how my beast heavy cavalry can inflict heavy damage on the Ghost Witch Tribe, I will certainly let the princes of the world know that my cavalry is not just a show of gold and jade. "

Shen Bumie was not so confident. With a hint of worry in his eyes, he also said expectantly, "After hundreds of years, the Emperor's Cheshi can finally make achievements again."

Even other princes and generals patted their chests and promised that when the battle came tomorrow, they would give the Ghost Witch Army a severe lesson.

Only Shen Buhai looked extremely distressed. Three of his sixty Golden Eagle Flying Cavalry were killed when they were approaching to investigate the strength of the Ghost Witch Army.

This resulted in the other Golden Eagle Riders not daring to approach. The strength of the Ghost Witch Army they brought back was unknown. Qing Yi thought that this battle would not be easy to fight.
