The Emperor is Above

Chapter 559: The Terrifying Vulture Knight
Shangqing Huo Yun's anger made Huo Jun and others dare not say a word.

Only Yang Lezi, who was also a Shangqing, could interrupt. He smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Shangqing Huo Yun, you don't know that Longcheng Yi Yaqing has led a part of the Longcheng Guards to attack.

They headed directly north from Longcheng, and after crossing the Yunling Mountains for more than 600 miles they reached the territory of Xianyu. He planned to go straight into the heart of Xianyu and turn the world upside down.

After the great battle between the Emperor and the princes of Zhongzhou, the coalition forces still had more than 30,000 people with the Ghost Witch Tribe. Originally, Longcheng Yi Yaqing wanted them to come with me to the border fortress.

However, the Zhongzhou coalition army and the border town soldiers were unhappy before, and they were unwilling to come to the border town fortress no matter what, and finally they all followed Longcheng Yi Yaqing to attack the Xianyu territory. "

"Ugh--"

Shangqing Huo Yun let out a long sigh, his eyes full of disappointment. The planned reinforcements were suddenly reduced by 30,000 to 40,000 people.

When the border town soldiers clashed with the coalition soldiers, in addition to the unruly behavior of the Zhongzhou coalition forces, the inferiority complex of the Xing soldiers was also a factor.

One party has a strong sense of superiority, while the other has a strong sense of inferiority. When the two are mixed together, even a small matter can be magnified countless times, so it is reasonable that conflicts will occur.

"That's all!"

Finally, Shangqing Huo Yun said helplessly, "Since tens of thousands of soldiers from the Zhongzhou coalition army are unwilling to come to the border fortress, let them go.

Anyway, they are causing trouble every day when they come to the Border City Fortress. Instead of disrupting the order in the city, it is better to let them follow Longcheng Yi Yaqing deep into the heart of Xianyu. "

Having said this, Lord Huo Yun bowed solemnly to Lord Yang Lezi, then stood up straight and looked at him, his expression firm and he said:

"I also have to thank Lord Yang Lezi for leading his army to help. You and I have rarely had any personal contact in the past, but I didn't expect that in the end, you and I would fight to the death in the border town together and be loyal to our country."

"Don't worry, don't worry!"

Yang Lezi Shangqing rarely showed his signature smile.

"Why is Lord Huo Yun so pessimistic? Look at these 200 newly manufactured armored vehicles from Longcheng Fengtu that I brought with me.

A few months ago, when the Dragon City Guards attacked the Ghost Witch Tribe, the armored vehicle battalion wiped out as many as 20,000 to 30,000 enemies, which would surely have caused the Xianyu army to suffer a great loss. "

"So this is the armored vehicle developed by Longcheng Fengtu. It is indeed completely different from the chariots of the past!"

Shangqing Huo Yun watched the demonstration of the new armored vehicle, and especially learned about the tremendous power of the crystal bomb, with an expression of unstoppable surprise on his face.

However, although the anxiety in his eyes was somewhat relieved, he still shook his head after pondering for a long time and said: "The chariot brought by Lord Yang Lezi is indeed very powerful, but we still cannot win with it.

This time, Xianyu King Mo Yan personally went south, and he not only led 150,000 elite cavalry from the royal tent, but also the Blood Cavalry, Fire Cavalry, Iron Cavalry, Flying Bear Army, Vulture Camp, and Condor Shooters.

These troops are the personal guards of King Xianyu, and you have heard of their reputation in the past. In addition, the foreign tribes in the wilderness have also sent 800 giant warriors to help in the battle.

I have no confidence that I can hold the border town fortress in this battle. When I left the capital, I could only promise the king that the border town would still be fighting before I died in battle. "

"Haha, why is Lord Huo Yun so pessimistic?"

Yang Lezi Shangqing patted Huo Yun's shoulder with a smile and said, "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. With my courage, I dare not stand in a desperate situation.

However, before I came to the border town, Longcheng Yi Yaqing personally assured me that although he did not directly reinforce the border town, he had made all the preparations.

As long as we hold on to the border town for about ten days, powerful reinforcements will arrive and King Xianyu will surely die here."

Seeing Yang Lezi's expression of no concern, Shangqing Huo Yun also felt puzzled. He hesitated for a moment and nodded:
"We have all dealt with Longcheng Yi Yaqing before, and we know that he never makes promises easily. If he dares to say so, he must be fully confident. Since he wants us to hold on for ten days, we will have reinforcements, so let's hurry up and make preparations. With the 50,000 troops in the entire border city and the geographical advantages, we can only hope that the reinforcements can arrive soon."

As King Xianyu's army continued to approach, the border fortress was also busy. The sophisticated city defense equipment shipped from the capital was placed on the city walls to the shouts of the soldiers.

There were not only weapons such as large crossbows, but also catapults, spiky logs, stones, kerosene and other items made on site by craftsmen.

The city defense system is not only the border town fortress wall, but also includes the ditch two miles north of the wall. It is an overall defense system.

As the border fortress was filled with all kinds of powerful defensive weapons, the originally frightened soldiers gradually regained their fighting spirit, and each of them was confident that they would inflict losses on the Xianyu army.

However, King Xian Yu was still a day's journey away from the border town fortress. The Vulture Camp knights who arrived first poured a bucket of cold water on the heads of the entire border town garrison.

"cry--"

“Liao——”

Several falcons that were responsible for scouting the movements of Xianyu's army flapped their wings desperately in an attempt to escape back to the border fortress with full of fear and despair.

Most of the Eagle Guards on the bird's back were injured and had completely lost their combat effectiveness, and some of them had obviously died long ago.

"what--"

"what--"

Amid the shrill and hoarse cries of vultures, a dozen iron-winged vultures with a wingspan of 20 to 30 feet rushed left and right to intercept unscrupulously, with an obvious sense of playfulness.

Their speed was obviously faster than that of the hawks and falcons, but they always followed at the end, injuring the hawks and falcons that fell at the back one after another, including the eagle guards on their backs.

The falcon with injured wings could no longer bear its own weight and fell to the ground with a loud bang amid the screams of the Eagle Guard, splashing blood.

When the last two falcons desperately flew over the two-hundred-foot-wide crack, they saw that they were only two miles away from the city wall and thought they were safe.

Several long and thick arrows suddenly shot out from the backs of a dozen iron-winged vultures behind them, killing the last two Eagle Guards completely.

"Ahhh, I'm so mad!"

A captain guarding the city was so angry that his eyes were bloodshot. He personally operated the powerful crossbow to shoot, but the iron-winged vulture easily knocked the crossbow arrow aside.

The soldiers who were defending along the rift tried desperately to attack the vulture knights in the sky with rune arrows, but they failed to hurt the enemy. Instead, many of them were shot dead by the archers on the backs of the vultures.

"Hateful!"

Shangqing Huo Yun subconsciously clenched his fists and said, "Our Eagle Guards are not as strong as the Vulture Knights. Most of our ferocious birds are seventh- and eighth-grade black eagles and giant falcons.

Most of the fierce bird mounts of the Vulture Battalion under the command of King Xian Yu are fifth- and sixth-grade iron-winged vultures. It would be great if there were fierce birds that could crush them."

Shangqing Yang Lezi didn't say much. At this moment, he was a little envious of the dozens of Great Wilderness Dragon Vultures under Qing Yi's command. It would be great if he could have a group of third-grade ferocious birds at home.

The Vulture Battalion was not in a hurry to attack the border town fortress. After circling and investigating in the air for a long time, they all left to the north, where their king lived.

By the next morning, the shadow of King Xianyu's army finally appeared in the north of the border fortress, and everyone's face changed.
