Chapter 383 Eternal Expedition Failed
In Huangyuan County, it took five days for Hengshan's army to arrive in this barren wilderness. Taking advantage of the gap before the arrival of the Eternal Army, they immediately mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to build positions and fortifications here.

Following the news from the scouts, the Eternal Army indeed led an army of 20 troops to leave Dingxi City and head for here.

However, after a few days, the two armies finally met on this open land.I saw two huge black currents covering the wilderness endlessly, with an open space several miles wide and clearly separated.

The cold wind howled, and countless banners fluttered. In this yellow middle zone, dozens of people from each side came out of the main formation to meet each other.

Lin Yifan and Tuo Muxiong looked at each other, a hint of guard flashed in their eyes, and immediately cupped his hands with a smile and said: "Hengshan Marquis of the Tianwu Empire, I have seen the Eternal Lord."

Tuo Muxiong's face was slightly angry, but it was fleeting, and he nodded with a smile: "You don't need to be polite in Hengshan, my emperor has heard about your deeds, chasing the Golden Werewolf in the north, resisting the Tianwu Kingdom in the south, and finally occupying the territory of the northwest. Land, become a hero. In the future, when the borders are sealed off and the land is occupied, the emperor will congratulate you."

The corner of Lin Yifan's mouth twitched slightly, cursing secretly in his heart, and immediately retorted: "What does the lord mean by this? This Marquis is a minister of the Tianwu Empire. How can you say that you can seal the border and split the land, occupy the land and become king?"

"Haha, the emperor made a slip of the tongue." Tuo Muxiong said haha ​​indifferently, and then changed the subject, "Hou Hengshan, the emperor asked you, what is the name of the powerful weapon you used before?" name?"

"This is my unique gunpowder technology in Hengshan. Once used, it has the power to break gold and crack rocks, and the sound is like thunder." Lin Yifan smiled slightly. Sure enough, after using gunpowder several times, it has already aroused the fear and attention of the Eternal Army.However, this gunpowder is a product that transcends this era. Even the country that lives in a bitter cold place wants to have it?

"Gunpowder!" A strong desire appeared in Tuo Muxiong's eyes, "Hou Hengshan, the emperor will make a deal with you. As long as you are willing to hand over the method of making gunpowder, the emperor will immediately withdraw from Shazhou and take the previously captured How about releasing all the people?"

Lin Yifan looked at him and couldn't help but sneered and said, "Gunpowder is the foundation of my Hengshan, how can I make a deal with you? Please don't think about it, my lord."

Tuo Muxiong couldn't bear it anymore, his face darkened, and he shouted sharply: "Okay, since Hengshan Hou refuses, then we have only one battle. When the Emperor defeats you, he will lead the troops to Hengshan himself. Arrive At that time, Hengshan will not leave a blade of grass, and your family will die because of you."

Lin Yifan's complexion changed, his eyes turned red slightly, he stared at him firmly, and said in a deep voice: "I will not let you step into Hengshan, and I will never let my family be harmed, this battle will never end!"

"Hmph!" Tuo Muxiong looked at him coldly, and said with a sneer, "We're overreaching! If that's the case, we have nothing to talk about, let's go!"

As he spoke, he galloped his horse and led the attendant away.

A burst of high-spirited horns sounded in the formation of the two armies, and the atmosphere became tense in vain, and the troops of both sides began to enter into a tense adjustment.

Lin Yifan returned to the formation, sat on the spectator car with a gloomy face, and looked at Hou Mingfeng coldly, "General Hou, you will be in charge of this battle. Be sure to defeat the Eternal Army for me."

"Ah? My lord, how did this happen?" Hou Mingfeng was startled, and immediately waved his hands to decline.

"Why not?" Lin Yifan smiled lightly, "This battle is not only your strategy, but also your deployment of troops. I am very relieved to let you command."

"But, but..." Hou Mingfeng looked puzzled, unable to make a decision for a while.

Seeing him like this, Lin Yifan suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice: "General Hou, the reason why I asked you to command this battle is to justify your name. As long as you finish this battle well, you can truly serve in the Hengshan Army." Stand firm in the middle. This officer gives you this opportunity, I hope you can make good use of it."

Hou Mingfeng looked at him in surprise, his eyes were reddish, and a warm current flowed through his heart. "grown ups...."

"Okay, don't hesitate anymore, the big battle is coming, let's act quickly." Lin Yifan patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him.

"This subordinate takes orders!" Hou Mingfeng took a deep breath, and immediately bowed.

Afterwards, Hou Mingfeng pulled Tang Rong over and began to direct the army into a fighting state on the podium.

"Boom!" The entire Eternal Army was mobilized, and 20 people approached the Hengshan army array.

The [-] Eternal Cavalry took the lead to bypass the army formation and surrounded the Hengshan Army on both sides, which not only restrained the Hengshan Cavalry's actions, but also cut off the army's retreat.

The remaining [-] infantry slowly approached, forming a huge crescent, half encircling and covering the Hengshan army formation.

At this time, the Hengshan Army was also defending in a circle. A trench about one foot wide was dug in front of the formation, and the sides were filled with wooden thorns and horse-repelling posts.And at a place not more than a few meters away from the trench, another one-meter-high earth wall was built, which was still covered with various obstacles.And inside this earth wall, there are rows of spear soldiers. The spears are placed flat on the earth wall, and the sharp spear points are shining coldly. Looking around, it looks like a river reflecting the sun.Behind the spearmen, there are sword and shield soldiers, responsible for guarding the safety of the spearmen.Behind them is the archer, squatting on the ground, holding the bow in one hand and the arrow in the other, ready to go.And not far behind the archers, there are ballistas and catapults placed on the earth platform.

The Eternal Army stopped within a safe distance, but after a while, a group of Eternal Infantry holding huge shields emerged from inside, slowly walking towards the Hengshan Army Formation.

300 meters, 200 meters, 100 meters.While the Eternal Giant Shield soldiers were trembling forward, the Hengshan Army did not shoot a single arrow, watching the Eternal Army approaching silently.

Just when they were less than 50 meters away from the trench, Hou Mingfeng immediately issued the first order of the battle, "Bows, catapults and cover blows!"

"Crack! Creak!" There was a twisting sound like toothache, and all the cobblestones of the bow and crossbow were ready.

"Let go!" With an order, boulders flew up into the air, spinning and smashing down towards the Eternal Army.The boulder hit the ground and was immediately ejected by the dry ground, flying into the crowd, plowing a path of blood in an instant.Even with a huge shield, it couldn't stop the impact of the boulder, and even the man and the shield were smashed to pieces.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Knock together.

The Eternal Giant Shield Soldiers were thrown into chaos by this blow, and their formation immediately became disorganized. Everyone frantically avoided the crossbows and stones, and quickly exposed their figures.

"Archer, shoot one round!"

Tens of thousands of archers quickly drew their bows and shot arrows, and tens of thousands of arrows poured down like rain and waterfalls towards the place where the giant shield soldiers were.The giant shield soldiers who had no time to defend were shot into hedgehogs by the dense arrow rain in an instant, and died a horrible death.

At this time, there was a sound of retreating horns from the Eternal Army on the opposite side, and the remaining giant shield soldiers finally fled the battlefield with relief, leaving countless corpses on display in front of the two armies.

In this battle, the Eternal Army suffered nearly 2000 casualties.Although this is insignificant to the Eternal Army.But from it, he could clearly see the strength of the Hengshan Army.

Tuo Muxiong looked at the formidable Hengshan army formation from a distance, with a sense of powerlessness in his eyes.Before the soldiers and horses who tried this time approached the trench, they lost 2000 people.If you want to cross that ditch, how many people will you have to sacrifice?Even if the trench is filled, there is still that earth wall in front of us.Not to mention, there is still that mysterious and powerful gunpowder that has not yet been dispatched.

At this moment, Tuo Muxiong suddenly felt a little regretful. If he could drive those slaves away at this time, this small obstacle alone would not be a cause for concern.Previously, I thought that fighting with the Hengshan Army and coercing those slaves would only get in the way.Unexpectedly, the Hengshan army was actually preparing to defend in the field, using defense instead of attack, using a small price to consume the strength of its own army, and finally defeated the exhausted self with leisure.

"Pass down the order and order Ang Kui to lead [-] cavalry to Dingxi City and escort a group of [-] slaves." Tuo Muxiong thought for a moment, then ordered.Using the Eternal Army to attack the military formation is nothing more than sacrificing one's own people in vain.Anyway, the Hengshan army is now besieged by the army, as long as the slaves are escorted over, they can win in one battle.

　I wish book friends a happy National Day, and the motherland is king in the world.
