432 Decisive battle in Mulan city! Shen lang returns! Crazy tide

This time, Duke dybosse had sent 100000 troops to attack Mulan city, and this didn’t even include the tens of thousands of naval fleets.

The other 50,000 troops would land on the blue Tide Peninsula by sea. The Bloody Baron’s fleet was only responsible for transporting the troops and sealing off the sea. The commander of these 50000 troops was someone else.

Duke Duke Duke Duke Duke was a retainer of the Russo family and also Duke dybosse’s uncle.

He was an old general who was already in his sixties.

Just as Austin had expected, Duke Duke had no intention of competing with him for the credit of destroying the city.

By right, his 50000 strong Army should have arrived at Mulan city two or three days ago.

However, he did not. Instead, he sailed slowly on the sea. Even when he arrived near the blue Tide Peninsula, he did not land. Instead, he continued to patrol on the ship.

In the past, Duke Duke was of the same rank as Duke Austin, and he was older and more experienced.

However, things were different now. The Russo family was different from the past. Once the third xilun Empire was officially established and Emperor Sauron ascended to the throne, Austin would become the second Duke of the Russo family.

In the future, Duke dybosse’s son would even be given the new surname of ruthosilun and become a Prince of the Empire.

Duke Duke Duke would have to keep a low profile and not steal the limelight from Duke Austin.

Furthermore, the contribution of destroying Mulan city was insignificant. It was more of a symbolic victory. For example, completely annihilate the Orientals ‘stronghold, or completely extinguish the resurgence of the witch Empire.

Duke Duke Duke had been sailing the sea for a few days now, and his 50000-strong Army was getting impatient.

“The Army of Austin hasn’t arrived yet?” Duke Duke asked.

not yet. Don’t worry, we have a few ships that are traveling South with count Austin’s Army. They will report to us as soon as they arrive, ” anfey said.

Duke Duke Duke frowned and did not say anything.

………………

After a long time, Duke Duke Duke asked again, ” “Count Austin’s Army hasn’t arrived yet?”

He was an old general, and according to his calculations, Austin’s Army should have already arrived.

“Not yet,”

Duke Duke walked up to the map and studied the terrain carefully.

“I’m not waiting.” the Army will disembark immediately, ” Duke Duke Duke said. wait for count Austin’s Army on the ground.

Giving in to Austin was only a political consideration, but victory was still the most important.

“Yes, Your Grace.”

The fleet headed to a beach in the blue Tide Peninsula and prepared to land.

“No, let’s land in another place.” Duke Duke said.

your grace, this beach is the most suitable for landing. The waves in the other places are too strong, and it’s very difficult for us to land. The subordinate general said.

“Which place is the most unsuitable for landing?” Earl Duke asked.

“This area,” The general pointed to a corner of the map and said, ” the tide here is more violent, and it’s quite far from Mulan city. We still have to March dozens of miles after we land.

“Then we’ll land from this most difficult spot,” Duke said.

The general couldn’t help but be puzzled. Why did he do this?

“It’s the most difficult place to land, and it’s also the place with the least ambushes,” Duke Duke said.

The generals were stunned? This group of Easterners only had a total of 2000 troops. Could there be an ambush? Isn’t that ridiculous?

However, Duke Duke Duke was the highest-ranking leader of this Army, and no one could disobey his orders.

After two hours.

Duke Duke Duke’s 50000-strong Army landed on the beach in the southern part of the blue Tide Peninsula where the tide was the most turbulent. They lost more than a dozen small ships and hundreds of casualties. His general didn’t say anything, but he blamed him in his heart.

What they did not know was that Duke Duke Duke’s decision had saved even more soldiers.

The leader of the eastern Knights, LAN Feng, had also buried a lot of explosives in the other two landing points. Once Duke Duke’s Army disembarks at those two points, they will suffer even more casualties.

Why didn’t they bury explosives in every place? That would require too much, and the explosives in Mulan city were very precious.

Duke Duke Duke’s natural cautiousness had allowed the Army to avoid a huge casualty.

However, no one knew about this, so Duke’s wise decision couldn’t be verified.

………………

After Duke Duke Duke’s 50000-strong Army landed, he immediately sent a large number of Scouts to explore the southern end of the blue Tide Peninsula.

His main force chose a place that was the easiest to defend and the hardest to attack to build a defense line and camp. He also had the fleet on the sea ready to receive them at any time.

This action made people laugh at him even more.

Duke Duke Duke was being overly cautious. If they were facing the same Army of 100000, it would be reasonable. However, they were facing a foreign Army of only 2000, and a crude and ugly little city.

However, even if they didn’t understand, everyone had to abide by it, and no one dared to disobey.

Duke Duke Duke was a cautious man, but that did not mean he was soft-hearted. If anyone dared to disobey his orders, he would not hesitate to cut off their head.

Duke Duke did more than that. Not only did he order the Army to build their own camp, but he also built another camp for tens of thousands of people so that when Duke Austin’s Army arrived, it would be convenient for them to move in.

The generals under him were even more dissatisfied. Earl Duke Duke, although you are an old official of the Russo family, you are also highly respected. Do you have to please Austin like this? Count Russo? He’s only 39 years old, almost the same age as your son.

………………

At the city Pass in the valley, North of Mulan city.

Count Austin stood up again and looked at the valley that had exploded. The ground that was hundreds of meters wide was filled with large pits. It was almost impassable.

He returned to the main force of his Army. The 10000 attacking troops had all been killed, and there were only 40000 left!

the Army will retreat two thousand meters.

With his order, the 40000 strong Army retreated and set up camp.

Duke Austin officially called for a meeting.

the area inside the valley has been blasted into countless holes, making it inconvenient to pass through. If we want to continue attacking that wall, we have to level these holes first.

so I think it’s necessary to order the Bloody Baron’s fleet to go north and transport our troops around this city wall and land directly in the South.

“The enemy’s wall is surrounded by steep mountains on both sides. Although it’s not suitable for large-scale troops to pass through, we can send a small army through the mountains to get behind the enemy’s wall.”

Count Austin remained silent, allowing his subordinates to discuss.

The generals discussed for a long time and went through almost all the plans. Then they looked at count Austin.

“Next is my order, an unquestionable order.”

first, we can’t let the fleet go north to pick us up from the South. We must take down the three-thousand-meter wall of the Easterners, or it will still be our nightmare. It would be too sad if such a small wall woke us up from our nightmare.”

“Second, my ten thousand soldiers died tragically. As their commander, I have the responsibility to avenge them. there is no such thing as gratitude or hatred on the battlefield, but what happened today was a massacre. If I can’t kill everyone on the city Pass, then the souls of the 10000 dead Warriors will linger in my mind. I will never be able to rest in peace.”

“Third, the enemy has buried terrifying God’s wrath in that area, but they have already exploded. It’s impossible to bury them again. Tonight, we’ll dispatch the Army to fill up these holes. We must complete it before dawn.”

fourth, when it’s almost dawn, send two thousand men to March along the cliffs on both sides of the mountain and take a detour to the back of the enemy’s city wall. At the critical moment, they will attack from the front and back.

The moment these orders were given, the generals under him were very confused.

Was there a need to do this? After all, there were only five hundred enemies on the city wall.

………………

That night, the 5000 soldiers under the command of count Austin turned into engineers and filled up the big pits that had been blown up during the day with mud and boulders, making it easier for the Army to pass through tomorrow.

At dawn, 2000 elite warriors took off their heavy armors and went into battle lightly. They climbed up the cliffs on both sides of the mountain, trying to go around the Chunhua pass’s city wall and attack from behind.

Before dawn the next day!

The holes in front of Chunhua pass’s 3000-meter wall had all been filled up.

Once again, count Austin stood on the high ground and commanded the entire battle.

“The Army is attacking the city!”

“Kill all the Easterners on the city wall!”

As he gave the order, the bugle horn sounded again.

“Wuwuwuwu!”

The elite warriors under his command charged and attacked the city again.

However, it was different from yesterday. Yesterday, it was an Army of ten thousand, charging in an orderly manner. But today, there were three thousand of them, charging in a scattered manner.

“Kill them all!”

“Advance, advance!”

The charge of these 3000 people passed through the death zone that had exploded yesterday.

Even though the holes had been filled up, broken limbs, blood, and dark-red organs could still be seen everywhere.

At this moment, the three thousand people were holding their breath and praying to the gods that there would be no more explosions.

Sure enough, if one could bury explosives on the ground once, there was no way to bury them a second time.

These 3,000 people successfully rushed through the death zone that had once exploded and quickly reached the city wall.

It was a success!

As long as they reached the city wall, they would succeed.

The enemy only had less than 500 people, and each of them had to defend an average of six to seven meters of the city wall. There were no rolling wood or boulders to defend the city.

Three thousand people could easily break through this fragile city wall.

Kill all the Easterners, kill them all!

The eyes of these 3000 people turned red, and their hearts were filled with bone-deep hatred and killing intent.

Charge, charge!

They were getting closer and closer to the city wall.

Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, one hundred meters, fifty meters!

Soon, I’ll be able to kill all these Easterners very soon. I’ll cut off their heads and limbs so that they won’t be able to piece themselves back together even if they go to hell.

Kill, kill, kill!

Count Austin was a little surprised. Why did these Easterners not shoot arrows to counterattack at this distance?

But at this time, the nearly 500 guards on the Chunhua pass wall took out a metal lump.

What was this? The original grenade.

Some used iron shells, some simply used wooden shells, and some even wrapped in silk. Each of the grenades was filled with about 300 grams of explosives and hundreds of shrapnel.

Each original grenade weighed about 2000 grams, which was obviously too heavy for a modern army. However, it was appropriate for the Warriors under Shen Lang as they could throw it 30 to 40 meters away.

“What is this?” A bad feeling rose in Austin’s heart.

However, Zhang Chunhua, who was on the city wall, seemed even more nervous.

The two generals ordered sternly.

“Ready!”

The 500 defenders raised the primitive grenades high.

“Light the fire!”

With a command, five hundred people lit the fire in an orderly manner.

As time passed by, Zhang Chunhua was so nervous that she could barely breathe.

This primitive grenade was very dangerous. Whether it was to the enemy or to their own people, the slightest carelessness would cause it to explode in their hands, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

The fuse of each grenade was of the same length, so everyone’s movements had to be uniform.

If he threw it too early, the enemy might throw it back. If he threw it too late, it would explode.

“Vote!”

The two generals gave the order.

The 500 soldiers on the city wall threw the arrows in unison.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

The 500 primitive grenades glowed with fire, drew arcs in the air, and fell toward the attacking Army of Earl Austin.

Count Austin almost instinctively shouted, ” “Get down, get down!”

A portion of his 3000-strong siege Army continued to charge forward, while a portion of them immediately followed his orders and knelt on the ground.

“Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!”

There was another series of shocking explosions.

It wasn’t as earth-shattering as yesterday, but it was still deafening enough to Pierce one’s eardrums.

It was another terrifying massacre.

In an instant, it was as if a gust of wind had blown past, and countless soldiers who were charging were directly blown away.

Once again, broken limbs flew everywhere.

Once again, he was thrown several meters away like a grass man, and blood spurted out in the air.

And today’s situation was even scarier. These primitive grenades had shrapnel in them.

This was the amplified version of the pear Blossom in the storm. Countless shrapnel shot out like a storm.

The power was like rain hitting the beach, creating thousands of holes. Once the soldiers of Earl Austin were hit by the shrapnel, their bodies were instantly riddled with holes.

………………

A few minutes later, the dust settled again.

Earl Austin thought that the 3000 soldiers who attacked the city had been completely annihilated again. He did not expect some people to get up from the ground one after another.

These original grenades were very powerful. Once they exploded, all the soldiers within a ten-meter radius would either die or be crippled.

However, there was a limit to manpower. It was impossible to throw it too far and form a carpet bombing. Furthermore, Mulan city did not have that many explosives.

Count Austin had 3000 people attacking the city. This wave of grenade attacks had killed more than half of the people.

This result was already very shocking, but it was still not enough!

The more than 1000 people who survived on the battlefield got up with blank faces.

They didn’t die, but many of them were already deaf, and their vision was turning black as they felt waves of nausea.

It was a typical concussion.

After a long while, they all looked at count Austin. Are we still going to attack the city?

At the same time!

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Another explosion was heard, but it came from the mountain.

The sound of the explosion was not to kill the enemy, but to sound the alarm.

The Chunhua pass guards were worried that the enemy would secretly march from the mountains on both sides to the back, so they buried a large area of Mercury lightning in the mountains.

This kind of thing was very sensitive and would explode once stepped on.

This was a warning to Zhang Chunhua that the enemy was trying to sneak up on her from the hills on both sides.

………………

At this moment, count Austin had two choices.

He ordered the Army to continue charging forward until they broke through the three-thousand-meter wall.

The other option was to temporarily stop the attack.

“Stop the attack, stop the attack!”

Following count Austin’s order, the surviving thousand or so people quickly retreated.

The second attack on Chunhua pass had failed.

However, instead of looking dejected, he looked a little more relaxed.

Shen Lang’s Army was very powerful, and they had many strange tricks up their sleeves.

However, that was basically the end of it. The only trump card of the 500 guards on the city wall was these explosive iron blocks.

The power of this weapon was astonishing, but it also had an obvious weakness.

First of all, it was impossible to throw it too far with human strength. Secondly, this thing was too dangerous and could blow him up at any time.

It wasn’t difficult to restrain this kind of explosive iron lump.

Your Excellency, how many catapults, fire God’s fury, and fire arrows do we have left? ”

Fire god priest started to doubt his life.

We believe in the fire god, but why is the enemy’s fire God’s wrath more advanced and powerful than ours?

After hearing count Austin’s reply, she replied bitterly, ” “After the explosion yesterday, we still have a dozen trebuchets that we haven’t recovered. Now, we only have thirteen trebuchets left. There aren’t many rockets left either, less than a hundred.”

“It’s enough,” count Austin said,”these things are enough to restrain the enemy. what we need is time. Our trebuchets will throw the fire God’s wrath at the enemy, regardless of whether they are accurate or not, regardless of whether they can kill the enemy. But at the very least, the enemy won’t dare to throw that kind of explosive iron during the explosion. This will buy us precious time. In just 15 minutes, our Army will be able to reach the city wall. At that time, the battle will be over, and we can easily kill all the enemies.”

He had to admit that count Austin was an excellent commander.

A secret weapon like a frag grenade was definitely unfamiliar to him, but he could still make an accurate judgment.

His train of thought was correct. Once the trebuchets started to throw gunpowder packages onto the city walls, there would be explosions everywhere. The Shen lang soldiers on the city wall did not even dare to take out their grenades, let alone throw them.

This was because every grenade contained mercury fulminate, which was too sensitive and could explode at any time.

Therefore, as long as the trebuchets were used to suppress the soldiers on the city wall, the trump card of Shen Lang’s Army would be completely destroyed.

………………

Two hours later!

Thirteen trebuchets were once again pushed out, and they were now 330 meters away from the Chunhua pass ‘city wall.

The 50 rocket vehicles were pushed to a distance of 400 meters from the city wall.

This distance was also carefully calculated by count Austin, and it was considered a very safe distance.

“Ready!”

“Fire!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Count Austin’s 13 trebuchets began to show their might and threw out the gunpowder packages.

A moment later, the fire god sect’s rocket launcher also began to perform a stunning scene.

“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Hundreds of fire arrows were shot out, leaving long trails of flame in the air, heading toward the 3000-meter city wall of Chunhua pass.

Count Austin stood at a high point and once again saw the Easterners on the Chunhua pass’s wall fall to the ground.

They really didn’t dare to take out that explosive iron ball again. His tactics had succeeded.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Fire god sect’s gunpowder packets exploded on the city wall again.

The thick smoke from the Blackfire/gunpowder instantly enveloped the entire city wall. Countless fire arrows were fired at the city wall. It did not matter if they hit the target or not. The only thing they did was to suppress the enemy with firepower.

“Army, charge!”

“Take down this wall and kill all the Easterners on it.”

Under the command of Earl Austin, his 10000-strong Army rushed out like a tide and charged toward the city wall of spring flower pass.

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

The catapults launched the second round of projectiles, and the gunpowder packages exploded above and below the city walls once again.

A crazy suppressive fire.

The ten thousand strong Army charged forward in a frenzy.

It was to ensure that Shen Lang’s Army would not dare to throw grenades again.

The 10,000-strong Army was getting closer and closer to the city wall. Three hundred meters, two hundred meters, thirty meters.

stop throwing! Stop firing!

Count Austin ordered the firing to stop. It was too late for the guards on the city wall to take out more grenades.

It was a success! He had already taken down the three-thousand-meter wall.

Even though the Army had not climbed the city wall, count Austin could already see the result.

…………

Fifteen minutes later, the thick smoke dispersed.

Count Austin’s Army had officially occupied spring flower pass, but the 500 soldiers on the city wall were nowhere to be found.

In the thick smoke, they retreated and returned to Mulan city.

Zhang Chunhua and a few generals knew that the pass would not hold on for long when count Austin launched the trebuchets to suppress the city wall.

Even though he had suffered a great loss, count Austin still made the most correct strategy.

Austin. Count Russo stood on the city wall of Chunhua pass and looked at his Army from the enemy’s point of view.

It was hard to imagine that a mere three-thousand-meter wall had actually caused him close to twelve thousand casualties.

His 50,000 strong Army was now left with 38000.

This was undoubtedly an extremely painful lesson, but he was not discouraged. At least he now knew how powerful the enemy was.

Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle.

Army, advance! Attack the Queen’s city of the Easterner, Shen lang!

With his order, the 38000 strong Army passed through the city Pass and marched towards Mulan city.

………………

A few hours later.

Count Austin’s 38000-strong Army arrived at the city.

After another two hours, Duke Duke’s 50000-strong Army came to meet up with Duke Austin.

Close to 90000 troops had completely surrounded Mulan city.

Duke Duke Duke did not ask what had happened, nor did he question the late arrival of Duke Austin or the shocking number of casualties. He only went up and hugged him.

Lord Duke, the enemy is much stronger than we thought, ” said count Austin. they have a strange and powerful secret weapon. But everything ends here.

Duke Duke Duke looked down at Mulan city from a high place.

it’s indeed an ugly city. It’s squarish everywhere, and there’s no room for imagination. If all the cities in this world are like this, how boring would it be? ” Duke Duke said with a sigh.

The sun was setting.

Mulan city was indeed very uncouth, and even weak.

All the houses inside were two-story buildings, squarish in shape, as if they were copied and pasted.

Moreover, the city was too empty. The city wall had a circumference of 7500 meters, but the houses inside could not fill the empty spaces.

although it’s ugly, it’s too easy to replicate and spread. If we’re not careful, such a city will spread to our Western continent. Said count Austin.

“Yellow calamity?” I can’t imagine what kind of disaster it would be if such cities were to spread all over our land, ” Duke Duke said. perhaps it would mean the demise of art.

so, we’re going to completely wipe out this city, burn everyone in it to ashes, and throw them into the sea, hoping that the ocean currents can bring their ashes back to the eastern world.

“There’s an Eastern idiom,” fallen leaves return to their roots.””

“Then let’s help them return to their roots,”

“When the sun rises tomorrow, we will officially attack the city and completely wipe out this ugly city.”

alright, count Austin. According to your estimation, 90000 of us against 2000 of the enemy. How many casualties will we suffer? ”

“Ten thousand, or a little more. However, no matter how many people die, it’s worth it, because we stopped their spread. This is a war between races.”

………………

Mulan city.

Zhang Chunhua, LAN Feng, the Black Pearl, and Yu Luo Lan were in a meeting.

“Our explosives are very powerful, but we have also underestimated our enemy. We may not be able to win this battle.” Zhang Chunhua said.

we still have six cannons, ” the Black Pearl said. although there’s not much left of the explosives, it’s not too little.

“Our city walls are too long. It’s too difficult for 2000 people to defend a 7500-meter wall. We have too many enemies, and we are too brave.”

Of course, they were brave. In the beginning, count Austin did not care much about this battle. He thought that he was just killing a fly. But now that it had escalated to a war between races, even if 10000 or 20000 people died, count Austin would still kill everyone in Mulan city and raze the city to the ground.

“We have too few cannons, and our explosives are not very reasonable.” our grenades are very powerful, but they’re too sensitive and unstable, ” Zhang Chunhua said. they need to be modified.

Zhang Chunhua had the right to speak, as she was the only one present who had fought with count Austin.

it’s a good thing His Majesty isn’t here, ” LAN Feng, the leader of the eastern Warriors, said. even if we all die, it’s not a big deal.

“It’s just death, what’s there to be afraid of?” the Black Pearl suddenly smashed her fist down.

“That’s right,” LAN Feng said,”at worst, we’ll just die. This is our Queen’s city. Even if we have to fight to the last man, we will not retreat!”

Then, LAN Feng turned to Zhang Chunhua and said, ” “Lord Zhang, you are His Majesty’s most trusted man. You don’t need to go to war tomorrow and will stay in the city Lord’s mansion. Once the city is broken through, detonate the city Lord’s mansion and destroy all the secret information and secret weapons. Do not let it fall into the hands of the enemy.”

“Of course you can!” Zhang Chunhua shrugged. However, I must tell you one thing. Your Majesty has created many unbelievable miracles. He has won even more difficult battles than this. There’s no need to be so desperate, everyone. We must maintain our hope.”

General LAN-Feng, the leader of the eastern Warriors, laughed and said, ” “Of course, I’m looking for hope in despair. Prepare to die, but also wait for a miracle!”

………………

The next day, the sun rose!

The 2,000 soldiers in Mulan city were all on the city wall. On average, one soldier had to defend 3.5 meters of the city wall.

Outside, the enemy’s 90000 strong Army was like a black mass, boundless like a black cloud.

In the face of such a powerful Army, Mulan city was indeed too weak, and the walls were too thin.

“Duke Duke?” count Austin asked.

“Everything will be as you wish,” Duke Duke said.

Still without any heroic words, count Austin pulled out his greatsword and shouted, ” attack the city and destroy the eastern Queen’s city. Kill everyone inside. Leave no one alive.

The battle at Mulan city had officially begun!

………………

At the same time!

The ground in the North of the Jade tide Peninsula began to shake as if there was an earthquake.

Countless birds and beasts were shocked at first, and they couldn’t help but look towards the North. Then, the birds flew up one after another, and the small beasts fled.

A moment later!

From the horizon in the North, a black dot appeared, then two, then three mayflies.

A few hundred, a few thousand mayflies

Shen lang had returned.

He led 8000 female Amazonian Warriors and galloped down on tall warhorses.

Although there were only 8000 of them, they were the strongest Warriors in the Western world.

She had never been conquered. She was an Amazonian female warrior who was closest to the bloodline of ancient humans.

The 8,000 strongest female Knights swept down south like a raging tide.
