Chapter 776 – A Tile Pot Never Breaks from a Well

Knock knock!

At the head of Xunzhou City, a dull drumbeat echoed in the sky as columns of armored and armed defenders ran towards the city.

The militia was also well trained and organized to carry the garrison equipment.

To the sound of the drums to meet the enemy, from the militia to the soldiers, from the soldiers to the generals, everyone showed great education and experience. To the people of the city, it was fortunate to have a highly qualified army guarding the city.

In the guards personal, this is the pain, is not enough to talk to outsiders.

How many times has it taken the baptism of iron and blood to get to the point where you are now able to be clinical and well-trained?

While the drums were beating loudly at the head of the city, in the governor’s compound, Yang Gong put on his official hat, straightened his clothes, and looked at Zhang Shen and Li Mubai in the hall.

“The elites brought over from Qingzhou have almost fought their way out, and the troops of the Yongzhou guards have been lost. Now it’s the turn of a few of us to fight in person.”

Yang Gong laughed:

“Honorable, Mubai, we’ve known each other for half our lives, and it seems we’ve never fought side by side on the frontier.”

Zhang Shen gave a heave and said:

“The Cloud Deer Academy has been silent for two hundred years, and the world has long since lost sight of my Confucianism.”

For generations, the readers of Yunlu Academy have had two wishes:

One, the Confucian system of reading can return to the temple.

Second, to make the practitioners of the major systems in Kyushu recall the fear of being dominated by Confucianism.

In the Central Plains before the emergence of the warlock system, what held up the rivers and mountains of successive dynasties, what held up the backbone of the Central Plains dynasty, was not the vulgar martial artists, but Confucianism!

It was Confucianism that suppressed the sorcerers and deterred the Buddhists.

There are Buddhas in the west, witches in the northeast, parasites in the south border, and demonic barbarians in the north ……… are all garbage!

Only the Confucianism of the Central Plains is proud of the Nine States.

Two hundred years ago, Cheng Yasheng flattered the king and founded the State Scholarship, pushing the Yunlu Academy and even the entire Confucian system out of the temple.

Here, too, the Supervisor is pushing the envelope.

Confucianism has thus been silent for two hundred years, the third grade is rare, and the second grade and first grade are even more extinct since then.

The cultivators of today’s Kyushu have long forgotten the splendor of Confucianism at its peak.

Li Mu Bai seems more pragmatic:

“The ones coming can be the elite of the Yunzhou army, can kill one counts as one, must be the elite of the Yunzhou army, spell light in Xunzhou.

“Dean has already been recognized by the Empress to enter the temple, and after this battle, with the battle merit that me and Xinyin have made, we will be able to be crowned as kings and worshipers. In the future, if we are able to advance to Transcendent, then we will go after that old thing, Dean.

“He robbed us of several poems.”

No, it was robbing me …….. Yang Gong and Zhang Shen simultaneously retorted a sentence in their hearts.

The three great scholars smiled at each other and said in unison:

“I am in a place that is not a lobby, but the head of the city of Xunzhou.”

Words out of the law follow!

Three streaks of clear light rose up and enveloped the three figures, taking them to disappear into the lobby.

………..

Boom boom boom!

At the top of the city, the artillery roared, and a shell rushed out of the chamber and fell into the densely packed attacking army.

Each shell was a swelling cloud of fire that blew up huge swaths of dirt, rocks, and limbs.

After paying some casualties, the Yunzhou rebels managed to advance their artillery and carabinieri to bring the city walls into range.

This was followed by a firefight between the two armies as they opened fire on each other.

The densely packed enemy troops had the cover of their own artillery fire and instantly rushed under the city walls, then began to ant-attack the city.

The first batch responsible for attacking the city were the Vanguard Battalion and the Siege Battalion, each of the two large battalions had nine small battalions with a total of 3,600 people, consisting of jianghu practitioners and new recruits, led by Huanjing Wu Fu or Bronze Skin and Iron Bone Realm martial artists.

The role of the two battalions was clear, to carve out a breakthrough for the subsequent Hundred Battle Battalion of elite foot soldiers.

Therefore, the vanguard battalion and the siege battalion have the highest casualties, but Qi Guangbo does not care, for the commander must understand the truth that mercy is not in charge of the army, but also have the awareness of using the army like mud.

Since ancient times, attacking a city was meant to be heaped with the lives of the soldiers.

Chi Guangbo held a monocular and looked out over the city’s grueling attack and defense.

Under the cover of artillery, the vanguard battalion and siege battalion met the logs and arrows, and after paying a terrible price, they finally killed the top of the city and started a deadly fight with the defenders.

The opening has been chiseled.

Chi Guangbo’s face was calm, and he obediently touched two small flags from his horse’s pouch, one in basalt color and the other in red.

The Xuan Flag represented the Hundred Battles Battalion’s elite, a full ten thousand foot soldiers, led by the former Yunzhou Prefect Yang Chuannan, as well as a group of fourth grade experts, a true full-fledged elite.

Regardless of whether Dabong or Yunzhou, the main force is actually still the foot soldiers.

How many cavalry can there be? The Central Plains is not like the northern part of the Sebei, with its vast and boundless grasslands and herds of cattle, sheep and steeds.

Knock knock!

The war drums were beating, and the Hundred Battles Battalion, which had long been eager to try their luck, ran out, the ten thousand man squares spreading out, led by their respective leaders to run towards the city’s head.

“The artillery at the top of the city is a bit fierce.”

Chi Guangbo then threw the small red flag to the adjutant general.

The adjutant general immediately passed on his instructions, and soon, a large flag painted with a red-colored giant bird waved vigorously.

“Hostile!”

In a cry that resounded through the sky, four hundred horsemen of the Vermillion Bird Army rushed up from the rear of the army, lifting their wings and soaring.

On the backs of huge birds with crimson plumage sat riders carrying arrow pouches, their claws hooking barrels of kerosene as they swept toward the city.

The kerosene fell to pieces at the top of the city, splattering on the walls, on the horse paths, and on the soldiers.

There were scorch marks and flames all over the city, and these kerosene falling from the sky were truly a fiery cooking oil that scorched the Da Bong defenders.

The Flying Cavalry is known as the Division of Aces, and ranks first among the major armies, outperforming the Heavy Cavalry and Artillery.

In this era, there is no concept of “air power”, but only know that when one side completely control the initiative of air strikes, for the other side, it is a devastating disaster.

The strong strike of the Vermilion Bird Army, coupled with the Hundred Battles Battalion’s attack on the city, caused the situation at the top of Xunzhou City to instantly spiral out of control.

Yang Gong and the other great Confucian scholars tried their best to summon the power of words to try to extinguish the flames.

However, the Hundred Battles Battalion’s experts were like clouds, forcing them to concentrate on their responses and freeing up their hands to deal with these flying riders that came and went like the wind.

Inside the city, the Flying Beast Army resides.

One of the handlers looked at the Heart Compass Masters in full gear and at a ferocious black-scaled flying beast and made a bow:

“In this battle, make sure to exhaust the enemy’s flying cavalry and get rid of all of you.”

Tamo grinned:

“The big deal is to put up a fight, the warriors of the Heart Compass Ministry, who are true to their word and promised Xu Yinluo to sell their lives for your Central Plains court, will definitely not shy away from their lives.”

Inside Xunzhou City, two hundred horsemen of the Flying Beast Army rushed up into the sky, cutting into the battlefield brazenly and blocking the Vermillion Bird Army.

After the Siege Battalion and Vanguard Battalion “chiseled” an opening in the city with their lives, the second grueling battle took place in the air, which was difficult for even a fourth-grade martial artist to reach.

High in the sky, the Vermillion Bird Army, whose feathers were as red as fire, and the Flying Beast Army, whose scales were pitch-black and flapped their membrane wings, were like a red cloud and a black cloud, rushing together at high speed.

The leading red-colored giant bird did not have a rider on its back, it was a fourth-grade great demon, a subordinate that Xu Pingfeng had taken under his wing early on, and the leader of the Vermillion Bird Army.

In the battle of Songshan County, the Vermillion Bird army it led slaughtered most of the Heart Compass Ministry’s Flying Beast Army, reducing the number of Flying Beasts from four hundred to two hundred and twenty riders.

While the Flying Beast Army was attenuated, the Vermillion Bird Army suffered equally heavy losses, and the four hundred horsemen of the Vermillion Bird Army at this moment were the only remaining flying horsemen of the Yunzhou Army.

The brazen and fearless aura of the Heart Compass Ministry warriors left an extremely deep impression on this Fourth Grade Great Demon.

The moment the two flying cavalry armies met in the air, the Great Demon Vermillion Bird’s wings violently spread out towards the back, driving its body to stand up, its claws sharper than steel covering Taimo.

Tamo is the beginning of the fourth grade realm, the cultivation is not as good as the Great Demon Vermilion Bird, the ability to fight and kill at close range is even worse, but the heart compulsion is the most adept at controlling, immediately whistled softly, using the sound waves as a medium, forcibly affecting the Great Demon Vermilion Bird’s Yuan Shen.

The sharp claws that covered Tamo’s face slightly stalled, and during this gap, the black-scaled beast that Tamo harnessed brushed against the great demon Vermilion Bird, and the long knife in his hand cut a string of blinding sparks on the Vermilion Bird’s abdomen.

Only a few red feathers were chopped off.

Flying riders, unlike horses, could not be stopped once they took off, and the two leaders brushed past each other and crashed into each other’s lineups.

The great demon Vermilion Bird whirls and flips, wings like sharp blades, on the spot will be two heart compulsion tribe warriors, even with the beast cut into several sections, blood stained with red feathers, more and more seemingly demonic.

On the other side, Tamo rode the Black Scaled Beast, deterring the Red Bird with his Heart Compulsion Technique while wielding his battle sword, cutting down the Vermillion Bird Army riders along the way.

The corpses of the black-scaled giant beast and the red-colored big bird crashed down.

The first wave of the charge ended with both sides exchanging positions, each losing more than thirty riders.

The two flying cavalry quickly adjusted their formation, and Tamo raised his battle sword high and shouted in Southern Border language:

“Warriors of the Heart Compass Ministry, charge with me!”

The Great Demon Vermillion Bird let out a shrill whistle and led the Vermillion Bird Army to meet them with wings.

The second wave of the grueling charge ended, with both sides losing more than twenty riders each, and corpses falling like rain.

After the third wave of charging, the flying beast army of the Heart Compulsion Ministry only had one hundred riders left, and the Vermilion Bird Army had two hundred and sixty riders remaining, putting aside the great demon Vermilion Bird as the leader, the individual combat power of the Vermilion Bird Army was far from the flying beast army of the Heart Compulsion Ministry.

The Heart Compass was originally an expert in the control of beasts, and could exert influence on enemy flying riders.

After the fourth wave of the charge, only fifty riders remained in the Heart Compass Ministry, while the Vermillion Bird Army personnel had shrunk to over one hundred and eighty riders.

The great demon Vermilion Bird did not exchange her life for her life again, four hundred Vermilion Bird Army spelled only one hundred and eighty riders left, her heart is dripping blood, these can be her direct descendants.

“It’s the turn of you, a Southern Borderer, to throw away your head and spill your blood in the affairs of the Great Feng court?”

The Great Demon Vermillion Bird snapped:

“How many flying beast armies in your Heart Compassion tribe let you toss them around like this, for the sake of Da Feng, is it worth it? With the fickleness and shamelessness of the Da Feng court, today you will die in battle for Da Feng, and tomorrow you may not be able to swing south and flatten your Compulsion Clan.

“Has the Daebung court done less than this in return for favor?”

Tamo gave a “hey”:

“Bitch, cut the fucking crap, the warriors of the Companions are not afraid to die!

“Brothers, charge with me!”

The only remaining fifty or so riders of the Heart Compass Ministry roared in unison as they charged towards the Vermilion Bird Army on their flying beasts. They had always kept their mission in mind, and at the same time, it was also what the Da Bong Army was trying to do – spell out the elite of the Yunzhou Army.

This is the fifth hedge.

This time, not a single one of the fifty-horse Flying Beast Army survived, and like their companions, they crashed down to the battlefield below, remaining in Dafeng forever.

Only a bloodied Tamo remained, his armor shattered, the blade in his hand curled and he was mortally wounded in several places.

The Great Demon Vermillion Bird was completely furious, because the Vermillion Bird Army that it had painstakingly managed was already less than a hundred riders, and more than ten years of hard work had gone up in flames.

“I won’t let you die so easily, I’ll tear off your arms and legs, cut open your belly, and gnaw away your internal organs little by little.” Vermillion Bird snapped.

Tamo lowered his head and looked at the scattered corpses of his compatriots and necro-beasts on the city’s head, below the city, and spoke softly:

“It’s all dead and clean.”

Xu Yinluo’s cousin Xu New Year, there is a saying – a tile pot is never broken on the well, and a general can hardly avoid dying before the battle.

What a fucking point, how can he not say something so level headed.

I wish the clan cubs could have the opportunity to study for a few years like the children of the Middle Kingdom.

The good thing is that such an opportunity is not impossible in the future.

When Da Feng wins this battle, the Companions, who are allies, will be able to trade with the Central Plains, and the tea, porcelain and silk of the Central Plains will no longer be in short supply for the Companions.

With the wisdom of the chief, Chunyan, he would surely have thought of borrowing a pedagogue from Daebong.

It’s good to read. Children who read are smarter.

Tamo lowered his head, looked towards the head of Xunzhou City, and exclaimed:

“Tell Xu Yinluo that not a penny less than what was promised to my Companions is what I deserve.

“In the monument forest outside Xunzhou City, there shall be the names of my Companions’ generals, you sons of bitches from the Central Plains, you must remember us.”

After roaring those two sentences, he didn’t bother waiting for a response from the defenders at the top of the city, raised his saber with its curled blade, and roared:

“Brothers, charge with me!”

But there’s no one behind us anymore.

The lone rider charged, suicidally.

………

The four hundred flying beast army of the Heart Compass Ministry, all of them were wiped out and died in battle in Xunzhou City.
