Early the next morning, Ren Baqian left the city with his guards and headed straight north.
In the past, he had seen on TV that the generals had long weapons like broadswords and lances hanging on their horses, and each of them looked majestic.
At this moment, Ren Baqian was standing beside the fork-horned cow with a retracted Type-85 anti-aircraft machine gun. He felt that he was more awe-inspiring than them.
Even though two days had passed, the guards beside him would still occasionally look at the two-meter-long anti-aircraft machine gun. The test fire that day had left a deep impression on everyone.
It took the empress 13 days to travel from Lan City to Liao City. Ren Baqian estimated that they would arrive in nine days, and this was after he had to return to Earth for two days.
At that time, he would be able to display the strength of the Tech Party and show them what it meant to be unparalleled.
At the thought of this, Ren Baqian's heart was on fire. He felt that his great spear was thirsty and couldn't wait any longer.
…
Not long after Ren Baqian and the rest set off, the empress encountered the mounted scouts from Great Xia.
When they were still a few hundred meters away, the other party encountered the winged cavalry's mounted scouts and turned around to run back.
The goat riders were simply too easy to recognize. The winged cavalry was the only organized army that used giant goats as mounts. Furthermore, the winged cavalry was the focus of the Great Xia people, and they could be recognized just by looking at the equipment and mounts of the mounted scouts.
A few winged cavalry scouts watched as the other party left, leaving behind a trail of dust. They turned their horses around and reported to the empress.
"Your Majesty, we have just encountered the scouts from Great Xia. I'm afraid they will know very soon."
"How far is it from Liao City?" the empress asked faintly.
"Fifty li to go."
"Get ready to face the enemy." The empress said faintly as she reclined on the thick hide of the golden throne. She supported her head with one hand and held a wine glass with the other.
"Turn on the radio," the empress said again.
Hong Luan immediately turned on the radio.
"Li Qianqiu, where are you?" the empress asked.
After a while, Li Qianqiu regained his composure. "Your Majesty, we have arrived at Pingjin Mountain."
Pingjin Mountain was about 15 kilometers west of Liao City, and its speed was similar to that of the empress's. This was also the reason why both parties had always been in contact.
"In a while, the winged cavalry will charge straight for the main camp of the Great Xia army after breaking through the intercepting enemy troops. At that time, the Great Xia army will definitely be in chaos. After breaking through the interception, you will seize the opportunity to launch a surprise attack." When the empress said this, her face was slightly flushed and her eyes were as bright as the stars. It was unknown how much she was drunk or how much she was excited about the upcoming battle.
As for whether the winged cavalry could break through the blockade, she had never considered this question.
It would be a joke if 1,200 Earth Wheel level knights couldn't break through the interception of the Great Xia army.
…
At the east gate of Liao City, 25,000 soldiers of the Great Xia surrounded this place and took turns to attack. Towering ladders were being lifted up and placed on top of the city wall. War cries could be heard from every inch of the city wall. From time to time, people would scream miserably as they fell from the city wall. There were even more people lying silently on top of the city wall.
A middle-aged general in iron armor stood in front of the tent, looking at the distant city wall, his brows tightly furrowed.
This Liao City was simply too tough.
One thousand defenders, two thousand soldiers who had retreated from Shun City, and the common people of the city had blocked the 70,000 strong army for a full ten days. Countless corpses were left behind.
At this time, a few mounted scouts quickly ran back to the camp.
"Sir, we found traces of the winged cavalry 25 kilometers away."
The middle-aged general, who was stroking his beard with his right hand, paused for a moment. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "Do you have detailed information on the enemy?"
"I encountered the enemy's mounted scouts before I could get close and returned to report to the general. However, from the dust I saw in the distance, there are only about 1,000 of them, not more than 2,000. They will be able to get close in about four hours. "
"Quickly go and continue to investigate."
Then, the middle-aged general raised his voice and said, "Someone, go to the main camp and inform the Great General."
An hour later, 15,000 of the 25,000 soldiers outside the east gate of Liao City headed in the direction of the empress. At the same time, another 10,000 soldiers rushed over from the north of Liao City.
Although there were only slightly more than 1,000 of them, Great Xia didn't dare to take them lightly.
The strength of these 1,000 winged cavalry warriors was already equivalent to that of an army of tens of thousands. Furthermore, they were more mobile.
Earlier, another 10,000 soldiers from the northern barracks of Liao City were dispatched to the west gate of Liao City and joined with the 30,000 soldiers outside the west gate. They surrounded the west gate and were also on guard against the 5,000 aboriginal soldiers near Mount Pingjin.
The generals of Great Xia had been dealing with Dayao for more than 10 years. Naturally, they knew how powerful the aboriginal soldiers, whose weakest was at the Man Wheel level, were. They also knew how powerful the 1,000 winged cavalry warriors were.
At this moment, the winged cavalry and the Great Xia soldiers from the Protectorate of the Center, who had defeated the Great Xia soldiers from Guke City, arrived in the vicinity of Liao City. This made the Great Xia soldiers somewhat afraid to act blindly without thinking. They even felt that their military strength was somewhat stretched. Even the siege from three directions gradually stopped, allowing the defenders and commoners in Liao City to temporarily heave a sigh of relief.
At this moment, only half of the 3,000 soldiers in Liao City were left. If it weren't for the commoners who went up to the city wall to pick up the weapons of the fallen soldiers to kill the enemy, they probably wouldn't have been able to hold on.
One had to know that they had persevered for nearly seven days under the fierce attack of the 70,000 soldiers. Then, they had persevered for two days under the joint attack of the 40,000 Great Xia soldiers who had retreated from Guke City.
At this point in time, the city wall was in ruins. When one stepped on it, there would be blood everywhere. The smell of blood had already numbed everyone on the city wall. When the Great Xia soldiers retreated, it was unknown how many people were directly sitting in the blood.
Most of them were ordinary commoners who Ren Baqian felt were very simple. However, when they picked up their weapons, they caused the Great Xia soldiers to bleed profusely.
Over the past few days, at least 20,000 corpses were left at the bottom of the city wall.
The losses in Liao City were equally disastrous.
…
When the empress and the winged cavalry arrived about five kilometers southeast of Liao City, they saw the Great Xia soldiers blocking their way. At a rough glance, there were at least 20,000 of them. Their halberds and spears were as dense as a forest, and many of their armors were stained with blood. An austere and somber aura swept over them.
The ground in front of the battle formation was covered with rusty caltrops. Each caltrop had four spikes sticking out and a hole in the middle. Five to six of them were strung together with ropes so that they could be retrieved after the battle.
"Crush them." The empress stood on the golden throne and looked at the battle formation in the distance. Her body was overflowing with murderous intent.
"Dismount!" Following the command, more than 1,000 winged cavalry warriors uniformly dismounted from their horses.
"Ha!" Everyone let out a loud shout. The combined roars of more than 1,000 people were like an explosion, immediately causing a slight commotion in the front line of the Great Xia army in the distance.
"Kill!" a man ordered.
"Kill!" More than 1,000 winged cavalry warriors quickly approached the front line in three rows. Their hands were holding onto the hilts of their swords, and their bodies were emitting an ice-cold murderous aura.
Even when facing an enemy that was 20 times their number, they didn't show any signs of retreating.
This was the most elite winged cavalry of the aboriginals.
"Shoot!" A command was issued from the Great Xia army. With a buzzing sound, countless white feathers transformed into black shadows that blotted out the sky and the sun before crashing down again.
It was like a rainstorm.
At this moment, countless figures soared into the sky to meet the arrows. The long swords in their hands turned into rays of cold white light that shot down the rain of arrows.
"Shoot!" Another wave of arrows was shot from the Great Xia battle formation.
Another few hundred figures soared into the sky.
"Kill!" The eyes of many winged cavalry warriors were scarlet as they stared at the battle formation in front of them.
They leaped up, crossed over ten meters, and went straight for the sea of spears in front of them.
Like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, it set off a sea of blood.
Looking from above, it looked like dozens of scalding steel knives had cut into a huge piece of cream. First, it was cut open, and then it melted on both sides. The battle formation of Great Xia immediately became fragmented.
The empress stood on the throne and drank a cup of wine. Then, she threw the wine cup to the ground and broke it into countless pieces. Following which, a red shadow crossed a distance of hundreds of meters in a few flashes, stepped on countless heads of the Great Xia soldiers, and pounced toward the rear of the battle formation.
Her clothes were as red as blood.
