Chapter 309 Decisive Battle of the Great Wall 21
After the Silver Moon's Blue Dragon Archer first showed his might, the barbarian army outside the Great Wall fell into a brief silence.
"Quickly find out what kind of Qin Ding reinforcements are coming on the Great Wall of Desperate!" Barbarian Marshal Ulm ordered the personal soldiers beside him with a gloomy face.
After a while, the personal soldier returned to the platform with a green steel feather arrow.
"Report to Marshal, the Qin Ding reinforcements of the Great Wall in Desperate Realm are the Qinglong Legion, one of Qin Ding's four major legions!" After saying that, the personal soldier respectfully held the fine steel feather arrows in his hand to Marshal Ulm.
"The Green Dragon Legion!"
A glimmer flashed in Ulm's eyes.
He raised his hand to take the green steel feather arrow, frowned and fell into deep thought.
Since becoming the barbarian marshal, Ulm has led his army to invade the border of Qinding Empire seven times to "fight the autumn wind".
Since ancient times, as the main nomadic peoples in the northern part of Qinding Continent, many of their tribes have had relatively difficult living conditions. In the extreme north where the snow and snow are frozen for half a year, it is not bad in spring and summer. As soon as the late autumn enters, the livelihoods of the barbarian tribes are difficult to sustain.
At this time, most of the northern part of Qinding Continent was already a snowy country. Not to mention grazing, barbarians were difficult to collect even wild vegetables and fruits. If they rely solely on hunting, the harvested prey would not allow the entire barbarian tribe to feed them.
For the sake of livelihood, the barbarians turned their attention to the territory around their territory, and the wealthy Qin Ding Empire immediately became the first target of the barbarians' "fighting the autumn wind".
Every year after late autumn, the barbarian Khan would gather the elite soldiers from various tribes and go to the border of the Qinding Empire to burn, kill and plunder. Wherever the barbarian army went, the local food and livestock were robbed. The old, weak, sick and disabled people in Qinding were killed, young women were brutally ravaged and insulted, and young and middle-aged men were captured by the barbarian army as slaves.
Emperor Qin Ding was furious about the atrocities of the barbarian army, and then ordered the construction of the Great Wall on the northern border to resist the barbarians' harassment of the Qin Ding border.
It has to be said that after the construction of the Great Wall was completed, it became very difficult for the barbarians to invade the Qin Ding border. So the barbarian army had to settle for the second best and turned the iron hooves of their ice field war horses to other small countries in the north.
Unfortunately, these small northern people had few people and had little food, so the food and property they plundered from them could not meet the needs of all barbarian tribes.
Therefore, the barbarians had to focus their coveted gazes on the Qinding Empire, which was rich in land.
Since then, for thousands of years, the northern barbarians and Qin Ding Empire have been constantly experiencing frictions on the border, causing the people on the border to be abandoned and the people are living in poverty.
Emperors of Qin Ding have sent troops north to the Great Wall several times to sweep away the barbarians in an attempt to eliminate the roots and cut off future troubles. However, in the vast northern wasteland, Qin Ding's army could not eliminate all barbarian tribes at once. In addition, as northern natives, the barbarians were very familiar with the local terrain and climate. Before the Qin Ding's army arrived, the nearby barbarian tribes had long been gone.
Moreover, during the Qin Ding army's expedition northward, all the barbarian tribes would send elite cavalry to harass it. The bad weather and the elusive enemy made the Qin Ding army miserable. Several expeditions could only end hastily and could not achieve any results at all.
After the Qin Ding army withdrew, the barbarians were still active in the vast land in the north. As late autumn began, they still gathered large armies to launch an invasion of the Qin Ding Empire as in previous years.
Over time, the Qin Ding Empire and the barbarians seemed to have regarded the northern border as their best training grounds, so that the elite soldiers and horses of both sides had dealt with here.
As the elite of the Qin Ding Empire army, the Qinglong Legion of the Qinglong Legion of course had fought with the barbarian army, and they had fought quite a few times. Both sides knew each other's military strength and combat power.
Based on the combat power of the Qinglong Legion and the elite barbarian army, if the number of people is equal, the barbarian army will be defeated! But if the number of people on both sides exceeds 1:5, the balance of victory will tilt towards the barbarian side.
Thinking of this, the barbarian marshal Ulm immediately asked the personal soldier:
"How many troops are there in the Qinglong Legion that came to the Great Wall to support this time?"
The personal soldier quickly replied: "Report to the Marshal, according to the reward of our army's scout Feiying lurking in Qin Ding, the Qinglong Legion that had just entered the Great Wall of Desperate Land has more than 20,000 people, including one thousand cavalry and two thousand archers."
Upon hearing this news, Barbarian Marshal Ulm immediately browned.
Unexpectedly, the Qinglong Legion only had more than 20,000 troops. These troops were not scary for the 200,000 barbarian army!
"The hidden scout continued to closely monitor the movements of Qin Ding's army. Once Qin Ding's army approaches the Great Wall in Desperate, repay them immediately!" Marshal Ulm said in a deep voice to his personal soldiers.
From Marshal Ulm's cautious attitude, he was still very afraid of the Qinglong Legion of the Qin Ding Empire.
Because in the past confrontations between Marshal Ulm and the Qinglong Legion, there was no victory, and in every confrontation, the Qinglong Legion swept across his barbarian army with an absolute advantage. This is an eternal pain point in his heart for the arrogant barbarian Marshal Ulm.
But for Marshal Ulm, it was time for him to avenge his previous shame!
"The Qinglong Legion has only 20,000 troops. I, Ulm, will definitely wipe them out today! Use the blood of the Qinglong to pay tribute to the warriors who died in battle with my barbarians!"
Thinking of this, the barbarian marshal Ulm had a bit of confidence and fanaticism in his eyes. He squinted his eyes and stared at the Great Wall of Desperateness in the distance for a while, then turned around and gritted his teeth and said to his personal soldiers:
"Transfer my order. A quarter of an hour later, all the barbarian warriors launched a bloody attack on the Great Wall of Desperate!"
"Yes!" The tall commander's personal soldiers immediately walked to the platform and raised the huge battle flag embroidered with the head of the dire wolf.
At this time, Marshal Ulm ordered another commander:
"Import General Xiatuke quickly and prepare for attack. Whether he can successfully break through the Great Wall of Desperateness will depend on his forty thousand troops!"
"Yes!" After the command of the personal soldiers took the order, they all ran off the platform and rushed towards the barbarian camp.
After all the attacks were prepared, the barbarian marshal Ulm walked to the high platform and looked out into the towering Great Wall of Desperateness.
"The Green Dragon Legion... The Great Wall of Desperateness... Today I, Ulm, vowed to let you be destroyed under the iron hooves of my barbarians!"
Barbarian Marshal Ulm clenched his hands into a pair of iron fists.
At this moment, Yue Tian, who had been observing the barbarian army formation with Hawkeye skills on the Great Wall of Desperation, suddenly turned his head and asked Yin Yue beside him:
"Yinyue, a battle flag was raised on the platform where the barbarian marshal was. Do they want to do something big?"
"Battle Flag? What pattern is on the battle flag?" Yin Yue asked alertly.
"It's a dire wolf head with its teeth and claws." Yue Tian replied with his eyes narrowed.
After hearing Yue Tian’s answer, Yin Yue’s face suddenly darkened. She said to Yue Tian with a serious expression:
"Xin Yi, hurry up and notify your troops to prepare for the battle. The barbarian army is going to launch a bloody attack on us!"
