Chapter 286 Battle between the two sides
"Damn it! What's going on with the East Kingdom Army? Are those Black Dragon Guards really that powerful?"
In the main tent of the Northern Kingdom’s army, the chief commander was none other than the young fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom. Last time, he was shot by Xuan Qing with a bow and arrow, which blew up the tent and caused him to suffer minor injuries.
However, because of his noble status, he naturally had good medicine available to him, and now he is in good health.
He was just very angry about the long-standing siege on Sanliu County. He had never fought against the Black Dragon Guards, and now that he had advanced weapons like muskets in his hands, he naturally didn't have much feeling towards the Black Dragon Guards.
But even though the four princes were injured by the Black Dragon Guards and the food in the army disappeared inexplicably, he did not feel worried or afraid.
It was because the Northern Army had been invading all the way for the past two years that the surrounding small countries were easily conquered by it, and even the invasion of the big country of the Eastern Dynasty was smooth sailing.
The dilemma in Sanliu County can be said to be the first difficulty encountered by the Fourth Prince.
"Prince, those are the brave Black Dragon Guards. The soldiers on the front line have suffered heavy losses, and with the influence of the Red Moon, why don't we retreat first and attack again when we come up with a better plan?"
Some veterans were very sad about the deaths of the Northern Army, and they also knew how powerful the Black Dragon Guards were, so they strongly disagreed with the reckless approach.
"Retreat?! Idiot, do you want those soldiers to die in vain? Do you want the surviving soldiers to go hungry again today?
We, the warriors of the Northern Kingdom, are armed with divine weapons. We can only advance and not retreat. Let them continue to fight, kill all the people of the Eastern Kingdom, and occupy their homes!"
The four princes of the Northern Kingdom insisted on doing so, and the veteran had no choice but to compromise.
At this moment, a soldier came back to report the battle situation, "Oh no, Prince, the Black Dragon Guards and Zhou's army suddenly disappeared!"
The two sides were fighting, and one side suddenly disappeared, just like the food and grass of their Northern Army. It was really terrifying.
"What did you say? What happened? Explain clearly!" The fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom grabbed the soldier's clothes and questioned him, his blue eyes almost popping out.
Obviously, he was not afraid of the Black Dragon Guards as he said.
“No, I don’t know. The city has become a deserted one now. There are no orc soldiers and no food.
Also, many soldiers are disturbed by the Red Moon and are gradually going crazy."
The straw raincoat worn on the body will affect the concealment to some extent during the movement, and once exposed to the light of the red moon, it will easily drive the orcs crazy.
When orcs go crazy, they will do anything, such as killing each other or mating in pairs, even if they are both male.
If there are females in the army, it will be even more miserable. They will be bullied by many parties and will only end up dying.
The Northern Army is now in disarray and the people are in a panic. Who would still have the mood to fight the Eastern Army?
It was at this time that the Eastern Army mysteriously disappeared, which made the Northern Army even more frightened.
"Prince, we can't delay any longer. Order the army to retreat." The old general pleaded again.
"No! Let those soldiers hide in the houses. Tomorrow morning, we will take out our most powerful weapons and blow up the entire Sanliu County.
This prince doesn't believe that even if we blow through the ground, we can't dig out the East Kingdom soldiers.
If that doesn't work, then we can continue to attack three or five counties and seize their food and fodder."
The trump card weapon is the Fourth Prince's greatest reliance, so he is not afraid of just a hundred Black Dragon Guards.
In the underground secret room, the Eastern Army was naturally paying close attention to every move of the Northern Army.
"My dear, the Northern Army has hidden in the house, but they haven't retreated." He seemed to be trying to keep biting them.
"Don't worry about it. Just tell everyone to be careful not to expose themselves. Eat well, rest, and prepare for the battle tomorrow."
Xuan Qing was already full. The food was bought in other cities while he was on the road, so it wouldn't rot if kept in the space. Of course, there were also fruits produced in Jiang Changle's space.
All the Black Dragon Guards who came into contact with him could eat food from the space. Now everyone was leaning against the wall to recuperate in order to cope with the tough battle tomorrow.
But no one expected that the battle on the second day would be so fierce.
The underground secret room was protected by Xuanqing's formation, so it was not easy for the Northern Army to find the entrance.
Because they couldn't find the suddenly disappeared Eastern people, the Northern Army went crazy and used explosives to blow up all of Sanliu County.
A single piece of Northern Country explosives might not be very powerful, but when concentrated together they can really create a deep pit.
All the houses in Sanliu County collapsed at once, but luckily they managed to blow out a passage in the basement.
The Northern Army was also smart. After discovering the passage, they did not arrange anyone to go down. Instead, they directly used fire and smoke to force out the orcs hiding underground in Sanliu County.
Xuan Qing quickly blocked the passage and evacuated the crowd, allowing the East Kingdom Army to go up from another exit under the protection of the formation, otherwise they would most likely be buried underground by the North Kingdom Army.
However, their numbers were too large, so they naturally became a big target and were quickly discovered by the Northern Army. They raised their guns and chased after them until they had no way to retreat, and the two armies were in a confrontation.
On the other side, the Northern Kingdom’s army finally blew up the hidden food, which made the four princes of the Northern Kingdom happy and angry.
The Northern Army was happy that they finally had food, but what made them angry was that the food came from their Northern Army camp!
"The fourth princess's beastly husband? Humph! He's quite capable." The fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom looked at Xuan Qing with gritted teeth, speaking in the Northern dialect.
Xuan Qing snorted coldly, "What? Are you afraid of your defeated opponent?" He spoke in the Eastern dialect, and it was none of his business whether the other party understood him or not.
Anyway, he understood the northern dialect, but he didn't bother to speak it.
"Hahaha! Would this prince be afraid? Come on! Blast them into powder. Even if Jiang Changle comes in person, I will use her as a snack."
The fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom could also understand the Eastern Kingdom's language. He started to confront them and took direct action.
Xuan Qing's originally calm expression suddenly darkened when the other party mentioned Jiang Changle, "You're looking for death!"
After he said that, without waiting for the other party to ignite the explosives, he directly used his powerful spiritual power to shoot spiritual arrows, aiming at the four princes of the Northern Kingdom, and it was a continuous arrow.
And the attack of each arrow was particularly fierce.
"Protect the prince!" The old generals of the Northern Kingdom were immediately frightened and dispatched troops to protect him.
"Shoot, use the explosives quickly, kill that bastard!" The voice of the fourth prince of the Northern Kingdom became hysterical, and he was also going to give the order to kill.
For a moment, a battle broke out between the two sides, and it was particularly fierce.
However, we have to admit that the power of the Northern Kingdom's explosives is actually very strong. In any case, the Eastern Kingdom's army has no protective gear to resist, so they can only fight hard or use tricks.
For example, if the fuse of the explosive package is destroyed, it will not explode. This is the knowledge that Jiang Changle once taught to the Black Dragon Guards, and it really came in handy today.
However, there were also explosive packs that exploded before they could be extinguished, and the enemy's muskets that allowed long-range attacks that did not require any physical effort.
For a time, a large number of soldiers in the Eastern Kingdom suffered casualties, and everyone felt anxious and desperate.
Is it really necessary to die in such a battle?
