The wheels rolled over the ground, pressing down another layer of soil that had been dyed dark red by the blood. Six tall horses were equipped with bright red armor, and their golden reins looked like dancing streamers under the sunlight. The carriage was pulling a war chariot of the Eastern Empire. Both sides of the carriage were inlaid with gold-plated iron sheets, and on top of the iron sheets was a pitch-black "Wu" character. The black words on a gold background carried an inexplicable awe-inspiring force.
King Ji Wu was in the carriage, still dressed in a bright red robe, with beautiful girls in light armor driving the carriage. He gazed into the distance. The Blood Clothed Army was like a red wave, constantly attacking the positions of Bauhinia City.
Victory? Radiant Dagger
His Highness turned to look at the iron-masked man sitting on the warhorse next to him and said with a smile, "Yu Miao is indeed a good idea. Not only can we avenge Lie'er, but we can also rob Ping Xi Wang of his military exploits, making him suffer in silence. How delightful! "
The man named Yu Mu cupped his fist and said, "Your Highness, your wisdom is as deep as the ocean. I, Yu Mu, am merely displaying my slight skill in front of you.
"You little brat, you've also learned how to flatter. What do you mean by 'as deep as the sea'? I'm just not senile yet." King Ji Wu narrowed his slender eyes. "I hope the expert who killed Lie 'er is still in the city. Otherwise, I feel like something is missing."
Yu Miao said nothing.
He looked at the battlefield.
The Blood Cloak Army was the elite of the Martial King. The soldiers were all around level 10, the centurions were all level 20, and as for the Thousand Captains, they were all level 25. The Blood-Clothed Army consisted of a hundred people in a team, ten teams in a unit, and ten teams in an army. This system had never changed, and the army was always maintained at around ten thousand men. There had never been any major changes. Therefore, from the officers to the soldiers, they had to be carefully selected, which was why they had such powerful combat strength.
The Blood Cloth Army was a cavalry corps. The warhorses were chosen from one of the best pastures in the Coiling Dragon Empire. The horses were pure-blooded Red Cloud Colts. As for the tack, equipment, and weapons, they were all produced by the top workshops in the country, and only delivered to the Blood Cloak Army after going through many tests. Therefore, it was no exaggeration to say that this army was a moving treasury. Every one of the cavalrymen was built with money. As for the effect, it was not hard to see.
The Blood Cloak Army was like a red tide, attacking the enemy's position wave after wave. The defense line of Bauhinia City retreated again and again, and the balance of the war had completely tilted to the side of the Coiling Dragon Empire. All that was left was for the Martial King to personally take action. With his peerless skills, he suppressed the enemy generals and decided the outcome of this war.
Based on Yu Mu's understanding of this prince, it should be about time for him to finish his work.
Sure enough, King Ji Wu sat up straight and raised his hands and legs. It seemed like he was planning to personally take action. Right at that moment, a shrill cry rang out in the sky. Yu Zong raised his head and saw a red cloud looming over his back.
"What's that?" King Ji Wu also heard the cry. He raised his head and saw a dark red cloud rushing towards the battlefield. His eyesight was very sharp, and as soon as he focused his attention, he saw clearly that those were not red clouds, but countless birds. A bird with dark red feathers that resembled an eagle, yet was not an eagle at the same time, had already flown over the battlefield. A strange thought came to King Ji Wu's mind. These birds seemed to be the enemy's reinforcements. Then, he felt that it was ridiculous. Although there were people who could tame animals in this world, he had never heard of any country that could domesticate a large number of wild beasts as an army.
But right at that moment, the birds swooped down toward the battlefield and breathed fire from their mouths. Of course, when they landed on the ground, they created a vast sea of fire. King Ji Wu's Blood Cloak Army was immediately plunged into a sea of fire. All animals were afraid of fire. Even the best-trained warhorses would be frightened when they saw the fire in front of them. For a moment, countless Blood Cloak Knight were thrown off his horse. The birds in the sky sprinkled fire wave after wave onto the Blood Cloak Army's camp. The fire spread so fast that more than half of the army had fallen into a sea of fire.
"How could this be?" King Ji Wu rose from the back of the carriage in shock.
"Your Highness, this should be the barbarians' secret weapon," said Yu Zong anxiously. "I've never heard of such birds that can breathe fire. I think we should shoot them down first."
"How could I not know? But we, the Blood Cloak Army, are not godly archers."
"We can only ask Ping Xi Wang for help."
"You want me to ask that boy for help?"
"Your Highness, that was then, and this is now. If we don't do this now, I'm afraid the Blood Cloak Army will suffer heavy losses. "
King Ji Wu clenched his teeth and squeezed out a few words, "I'll leave this matter to you, Yu Zong."
"Yes, Your Highness!" Yu Zong immediately turned his horse around and galloped toward Ping Xi Wang's camp.
King Ji Wu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "How dare a feathered beast bully me?"
Suddenly, a blood-red beam rose from the battlefield. King Ji Wu leaped into the air, his arms crossed in front of his chest, and a ball of red lightning appeared in his palms. He roared and threw out a red lightning pearl. The red lightning crashed into the flying beast, only to see a circle of ripples spread out, suddenly exploding into a fireball. The fireball kept expanding, sucking in all the surrounding birds and burning them to ashes. A moment later, a gap was created in the birds on the battlefield. But compared to the total number of birds, although King Ji Wu's attack was powerful, it was still like a drop in the bucket.
At this moment, King Ji Wu landed unwillingly on the ground, his face gloomy.
Those birds were a hundred meters above the ground. Even if it was him, he could only jump a few dozen meters with all his strength. In the Blood Cloak Army, only the chiliarchs could kill the birds on the ground, but that small number of people was not enough. In addition, the Blood Cloak Army did not have long-range weapons such as bows and arrows or guns. Therefore, under the fire of the birds, they suffered heavy casualties and were unable to fight back. King Ji Wu's face turned extremely unsightly. He had never thought that he would encounter such a scene. If he had known earlier, he would have brought the archers and cannons of the army.
But it was too late to say anything now.
In the camp, when Ping Xi Wang heard the latest battle report, he laughed heartily, "Good, serves him right. Didn't this old fart want to snatch the military merit from me? Not only did he fail to do so, he even suffered a setback. It's good that the Blood Cloak Army is wiped out! "
A general said, "But Your Highness, if the barbarians have such fire-breathing birds, it will be a threat to us. I think that we should take advantage of the fact that King Ji Wu is here and work together to annihilate these birds. "
Ping Xi Wang did not forget the overall situation because of his personal grievances. Hearing this, he said, "That's right, but at this moment, the Blood Cloak Army is suffering. I think that King Ji Wu will soon come to ask for help. Naturally, we have to send troops, but we have to let them open their mouths first. Otherwise, I won't be able to take this lying down. "
Just as he finished speaking, a person came in from outside the tent. It was the iron-faced man beside King Ji Wu, Yu Miao. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, our army was suddenly attacked for no reason. We urgently need Your Highness' reinforcements."
Ping Xi Wang sneered, "The Blood Cloak Army is not invincible, not to mention that King Ji Wu is in charge. Why would they need a small character like me to help? King Ji Wu is joking with me, right?"
