Volume 5 Chapter 13: Nine Cities Black Hand
Everyone was puzzled and asked, "How do you make a feint to the east and attack in the west? Although some gangs have declared war on Yinyue, the main forces of the Iron Blood Alliance are all gathered here, and the other side can't spare many troops to attack Yinyue. I think it's a trick to distract people. They want to use this to mobilize some of our forces to support Yinyue and weaken the defense of Suiyue, so as to facilitate their main force to attack!"
I sighed, "I have a different opinion. You all know the first battle of our Jinglei League, right? It is very similar to the current situation. The gang knew that they were not as strong as ours, but they still declared war. As a result, when ours was about to win, a large number of people from the Ao Shi family suddenly showed up, catching ours off guard and almost causing us to be defeated. If it weren't for the support of the Brothers League, the Jinglei League would have been eliminated from the dream!"
Everyone was shocked and asked, "Are you saying that the Iron Blood Alliance has colluded with other gangs?"
I nodded and said, "Exactly!"
At that moment, someone objected, "Impossible! Ever since the Iron Blood broke with us at the alliance meeting, our gangs have also launched an investigation into all forces in Pojun City. It turned out that there are indeed only those thirty-four small gangs that have defected to the Iron Blood Alliance. There may be some situations that we have not found out, but at most there are no more than ten gangs that are affiliated with the Iron Blood Alliance. Given the size of these small gangs, even if ten gangs form a coalition, it will be difficult to shake the garrison defenses of any of our sixteen gangs!"
I said calmly: "The Iron Blood Alliance's foreign aid may not necessarily come from Pojun City!"
"What!"
"The Iron Blood Alliance's ambition is obvious. If they defeat our Grand Alliance and unify Pojun City, the next step will be external expansion. Will there be any gangs from other places that will ally with them?"
Although there were still a few people who did not believe what I said, most of the bosses remained silent. They understood that what I said was not without reason. To the outside gangs, the threat posed by the Grand Alliance should be greater than that of the Iron Blood Alliance. After all, in terms of overall strength, our side is much stronger. Their best choice should be to cooperate with the Iron Blood Alliance and help the Iron Blood Alliance fight against the Grand Alliance, so that the strength of the two major forces in Pojun City can be balanced. In this way, while we continue to fight internally, the outside gangs can buy time for their own development!
I said in a deep voice, "There is no point in saying more now. We have no choice but to respond immediately. None of the troops who have arrived in the Age of Time should move. This number of troops is enough to resist the attack of the Iron Blood Alliance. All the bosses should return to their own gangs immediately and do their best to organize reinforcements and head to Silver Moon as soon as possible! Only Xiao Yao and Xue Hai Wu Ya will be left here to command the troops. Each gang only needs to leave a senior cadre to coordinate the troops. We have to hurry!"
The leader of the Grand Alliance is Bei Bei, but due to the strength of the Thunder Alliance and the fact that the few small tactics I arranged before showed my military talent, all the bosses are convinced of me. Before they knew it, my words had become orders, and everyone immediately went their separate ways.
I also quickly teleported back to the Thunder Alliance headquarters. There were more than 30,000 people in our alliance online. Twelve thousand were transferred to Sui Yue Qing Kuang. There was no problem in transferring another 8,000 from the remaining troops. Those selected members cheered. They thought they had no part in this war, but who would have thought that they would have a chance to go to the battle. They were all very excited.
I found Xiao Wu again and told her this and that in secret. Xiao Wu took the order and left. I was about to set off with 8,000 troops when suddenly the Lemmings sent me intelligence: "The strongest gang in Lianzhen City, 'The Ninth City', has dispatched a large number of troops and teleported them to Pojun City. It is said that they have been ordered to attack Yinyue Guanghua!"
It really confirmed my judgment!
The Iron Blood Alliance and the Nine Cities colluded with each other in an attempt to defeat the Grand Alliance. This conspiracy was probably implemented long before the meeting was held in the Blood Sea. This also explains why the Iron Blood Alliance was able to subdue so many small gangs in a short period of time. The two super powers joined forces, and those small gangs would not say no, otherwise it would be a disaster!
It's ridiculous that Tieti is short-sighted and colludes with Jiucheng. Even if the Grand Alliance is really destroyed, the Ninth City will reach out to Pojun City. Will the Iron Blood Alliance have a good life? Jiucheng's strength is already above the Iron Blood Alliance. With the power of destroying the Grand Alliance, its power will inevitably increase greatly. It will not be difficult to unify Lianzhen in a short period of time, and then turn around to deal with the Iron Blood Alliance. Then Tieti will have a hard time!
But this is indeed a big trouble for us. The Iron Blood Alliance and the Nine Cities have joined forces, and their strength has surpassed that of the Grand Alliance. We must cut off the black hand of the Nine Cities reaching out to Pojun City!
At the same time, I secretly hated myself for being a little soft-hearted. Because the Iron Blood Alliance also belongs to the Pojun City gang, I didn't dare to let my intelligence organization infiltrate the Iron Blood Alliance more, fearing that it would be embarrassing if it was exposed. There was an undercover in our alliance when Jiucheng fell, so I was able to receive the information about Jiucheng's dispatch of troops at the first time, but this matter must be extremely confidential to Jiucheng and the Iron Blood Alliance. Before it was exposed, Jiucheng was hidden behind the scenes. As long as the undercover didn't infiltrate the other party's top level, it would be difficult to get the news. On the contrary, the Iron Blood Alliance made a lot of moves to subdue those small gangs. Unfortunately, I only have two or three intelligence agents in the Iron Blood Alliance. Otherwise, if I had increased my efforts a little bit and stuffed one or two people into the middle level of the Iron Blood Alliance, it would not be difficult to grasp the other party's plan in advance! I swear I will never make this mistake again in the future!
The headquarters of Yinyue Guanghua is in the north of Pojun City, not very far from Jinglei League. After thinking about it, I decided not to go to Chaos World and squeeze for the teleportation channel with other gangs. I sent Hanjiang to lead the team to Yinyue on foot. I had other plans.
In my opinion, the enemy's declaration of war on Yinyue was very urgent this time , and the shortest preparation time of one hour stipulated by the system has been reached. Therefore, the opponent's attack on Yinyue is real, and the attack on Suiyue is just a cover. Their cunningness is that they used a small and rubbish gang to declare war. In this way, as long as our side fails, what we lose is a strong big gang, and if the opponent fails, what will be disbanded is just an insignificant small sect. Therefore, it doesn't matter if they cannot capture Suiyue, their purpose is just to tie down a large number of our troops!
And since the opponent's real target is Silver Moon, this attack must be a thundering blow, so the time of declaring war is so short that the reinforcements from our other gangs will not have time to arrive at Silver Moon!
If the enemy thinks so, I will not be able to fulfill their wish. If you want to shorten our preparation time, I will buy time!
Therefore, I gathered the remaining two thousand cavalrymen of our alliance and sent them to Pojun City!
Heading north from Pojun City, there are still about 200 kilometers to the Yinyue base. I will lead 2,000 cavalrymen, and on this 200-kilometer journey, take advantage of the cavalry's mobility to harass and intercept the armies of Jiucheng in the dark, preventing them from marching smoothly and slowing down their pace, buying time for the alliance gangs to reinforce Yinyue!
When I led the army out of the teleportation array of Pojun City, there was no longer any soldier from the Nine Cities to be seen. However, our alliance had a secret sentry stationed in Pojun City, and when I called someone over to ask, I learned that there were about 80,000 troops from the Nine Cities, and they had all left the north gate!
Jiucheng's actions were so fast! I didn't dare to neglect it, and led the cavalry to rush out of the north gate like a whirlwind (afterwards, the system issued 2001 traffic violation tickets to Jinglei League).
Not long after we started walking, we spotted the tail of the Jiucheng army from afar. In the dark night, and in an unfamiliar place, in order to ensure a smooth march, the Jiucheng troops all lit torches. From afar, it looked like a long dragon with no end in sight. Our Jinglei League had undergone special training for night battles, and we knew the terrain near Pojun City like the back of our hands. We could gallop on horseback in the dark without lighting a fire, and the distance was far, so the sound of hooves had not yet reached the ears of the Jiucheng personnel. It seemed that the other side had not discovered us yet.
I rolled my eyes, called over two squadron leaders, and told them to lead 200 men to chase and attack from behind, making a loud noise, but not getting entangled with the enemy too much, and to retreat after attracting the attention of the enemy's rear army. Then I led my men to deviate from the main marching line to the right and go to the front to intercept the enemy.
The two squadron leaders lived up to expectations. They arranged the two hundred soldiers into a fan shape, pretending to surround the rear of the enemy, and launched a charge!
The sudden sound of hoofbeats was like drumbeats, which immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers of Jiucheng. When their rear team turned around, they saw only sharp sabers chopping down on their heads!
Due to my instructions, the two hundred cavalrymen were arranged very dispersedly and could not form a multi-person attack, so they did not actually cause many casualties to the enemy. However, since they rushed over from all directions, it gave people the feeling that a large army of unknown number of people had arrived!
There was a panic at the end of the Jiucheng team, with screams coming one after another. Someone shouted at the top of his voice: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
The commander of Jiucheng, who was in charge of the rear army, was furious and shouted, "Why are you panicking? There aren't that many enemies! Come on, the Cavalry Division of the First Army of East City will attack and wipe out these rats!"
The commander's judgment was accurate. Although the order was given, the reaction from giving the order to execution would test a gang's training level. Jiucheng was the number one gang in Lianzhen, and it should be said that the quality of its members was quite good, but it was obviously inferior to the Jinglei League. When their cavalry division rushed out in formation, the two squadrons that resolutely executed my order had already begun to withdraw from the battlefield, and the cavalry division was chasing after them. Whether they could catch up was still unknown, but the chaos in the entire rear army took at least ten minutes to calm down, and they were rearranged and moved forward.
At the same time, relying on the high speed of the cavalry, I had led my troops to the middle right wing of the Jiucheng team. I repeated the old strategy and divided another 200 people to harass the enemy's central army.
The Nine Cities had a large number of people and a long formation. The news of the attack on the rear army had just reached the central army not long ago. They had no time to make defensive preparations before two hundred cavalrymen broke into the formation and cut their team in two!
I didn't care about the battle here and led the team to rush forward in a hurry. Soon we surpassed the vanguard of Jiucheng. I stopped Ben Lei and commanded 1,600 knights to form a commando team. This time I wanted to play big and give the opponent a head-on blow!
At this time, the commander of the front army of Jiucheng had received reports from the rear army and the central army, so he ordered the vanguard troops to stop and sent out more scouts to find out from which direction the people who attacked them came so that they could send part of the troops to wipe them out. Otherwise, if they were constantly harassed along the way, how long would it take to reach the Yinyue base?
Unexpectedly, at this moment, there was a sound of hooves shaking the ground in front, mixed with a strange, heavy "dong, dong, dong" sound that was different from the sound of horse hooves, and a group of people and horses were coming head-on!
The commander had seen that the reports he had received stated that the attacking enemy numbered only a few hundred people. He guessed that the other side did not have enough manpower to launch a large-scale attack, so he did not take it seriously and thought it was just an ordinary harassment. He then ordered the long-range troops to shoot, but did not immediately order the Blood Bull Warriors to form a defense line!
This mistake made him regret it deeply. When the other party appeared in the range illuminated by the fire, he saw the one in front of him was three meters tall, but it was not a galloping horse, but a strong ground dragon!
In the current fantasy, the knight riding a ground dragon gives people a shocking feeling, because it represents an invincible existence, the number one master in fantasy, Bloody Sky!
Although they were shocked, the long-range attackers of Jiucheng still shot arrows and cast magic. However, they were not well-trained to begin with, and coupled with their nervousness, the attacks seemed a bit chaotic and could not form the power of a concentrated attack.
Even so, there were still no less than a hundred arrows shot at the knight at the same time, and suddenly circles of golden light appeared in front of the knight!
The Tiger Soul spun like a windmill in my hand, forming a wall of swords in front of me, like a super giant shield, blocking and crushing all the flying arrows. It was almost impossible for water to get in. Occasionally, one or two arrows slipped through the net and hit me, but were bounced off by the golden armor covering my whole body. This wave of arrow rain did almost no harm to me.
The bow and arrow have a long range and a fast shooting speed, so the rain of arrows came first, and the magic came later. Countless fireballs and lightning followed closely and hit me. I couldn't block them. Although weapons can block magic as long as you have superb skills, but unlike arrows, magic will explode when it hits weapons! Although I will only be affected by the aftermath, one or two magic shots are not a big deal. Such a large-scale magic attack exploded all around me, and the accumulated power of that little aftermath is enough to kill me instantly!
However, I had already thought of a way to break the knight's charge when facing large-scale long-range attacks. When I slapped the dragon's head, Ben Lei's whole body fell down, and I also lowered my body and pressed against Ben Lei's back. The original height of more than three meters was suddenly reduced to less than two meters. Most of those magic spells were aimed at me who was riding high on the dragon's back, but the target suddenly lowered its altitude, and most of them flew over my head. A few attacks from a lower direction were taken by me with Tiger Soul. Waves of explosions made my blood boil, but it was no big deal. After this wave of attacks, Ben Lei stood up and continued to rush towards the enemy!
How fast is the speed of the ground dragon? If I miss the first chance, I won't have a second chance to launch it. I rushed into the enemy crowd, raised my tiger soul high, and then chopped it down fiercely!
