Chapter 1199 The Battle Begins
It is true that Fu Lingzi's cultivation is higher than Wu Yi's, but Wu Yi is lucky, and this place is a human world. Fu Lingzi is a dragon descending to the earth, and he has to coil up. He did not put on the airs of a senior brother in front of Wu Yi. He was respectful, but only he knew what he was thinking.
After understanding Wu Yi's hint, Fu Lingzi quietly withdrew. Although he did not tell Wu Yi what he was going to do, it was probably to investigate the monks who came here this time.
In the following days, Wu Yi no longer had time to spend on these people, because the army led by King Yong was approaching Pegasus City.
Due to famine, the food in King Yong's army came from the rear transportation, thousands of miles of transportation, and crossing Hengchuan Ridge. The waste in this was not a small amount.
It should be noted that King Yong was still at the last stage of the election system. If he rashly carried out this war, if it was unfavorable, it would reduce the people's recognition of him, and the final loss could not be made up, and it was very likely to ruin his future in one fell swoop.
Obviously, he could maintain an open peace with Wu Yi. After the election system ended, if he succeeded in taking the throne, he could mobilize the power of the whole country to encircle and suppress Wu Yi. In the end, he chose such a radical path. For King Yong, the risk was too great.
But King Yong had known Wu Yi for a long time and knew that Wu Yi was not an ordinary person. If he was not suppressed as soon as possible, when Wu Yi grew up, no one could suppress him. At that time, it would be the doom of the entire dynasty.
And Wu Yi's strategic talent was fully demonstrated in this war. With 30,000 troops, he swept thousands of miles, destroyed countless countries, and knocked down the crowns. It was a pity that such a person was too thoughtful and could not be used for himself.
Wu Yi destroyed a group of small countries. Without small countries as external aid, a group of thousand-year-old families in the Daji Dynasty also lost their support. In order to restore their previous status, they united around King Yong as never before, just to suppress Wu Yi. Their humble attitude was unheard of.
It was precisely because of the accumulation of a group of noble families over thousands of years that King Yong received the greatest support. After all, it was not King Yong's own money that was spent. The wages King Yong paid to the migrant workers were more than double the usual amount, and the burden of the war was not passed on to ordinary people.
In addition, the court and the people had a positive view of King Yong's trip, and there was little resistance.
With the support of the magnificent trend, King Yong felt that he would win and was determined to fight.
As King Yong's troops approached one after another, the city was in a state of panic. Every day, people were arrested for having an affair with King Yong. It is no exaggeration to say that in Pegasus City, including ordinary people, no less than half of the people were loyal to King Yong.
This was a contest with a huge gap. Although King Yong only gathered 100,000 troops, Wu Yi also had 50,000, and it seemed that the gap was not so big that it was difficult to turn the tables.
However, even if King Yong lost, he could calmly mobilize troops and send people from the rear continuously, while Wu Yi had no chance to make mistakes. This is a gap in foundation, which needs to be recovered at the tactical level.
Pegasus City is backed by mountains and faces the sea, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There is the sea to the east and the mountains to the west, which are rugged and difficult to travel. A long river separates the north, so the area that is truly suitable for the attacker to set up a battle formation is actually only the south.
The people who built the city at the beginning had a good vision, otherwise this city would not have become the capital of a small country.
In fact, after the construction of Pegasus City, it has only fallen once in history. The attackers feinted in the south and attacked from the west. The two sides attacked, and the defenders were caught off guard and fell.
Often the safest place is the most likely to become a breakthrough point in the end. After Wu Yi knew this, he naturally would not fall in the same place. Not only did he arrange many sentry posts on the western mountains, but he also arranged troops on the east and north sides, which seemed unlikely.
However, with this amount of troops, if the enemy gathers them in one place, they will be at a disadvantage no matter what. The more scattered the troops are, the sooner they will die. Before getting the strategic intention of King Yong, the focus of defense is still at the South Gate.
The iron hooves of the war horses and the iron boots of the soldiers fell on the ground, making a rumbling sound. The 100,000-man army stretched out, seemingly endless. If they gathered together, they would be like a lump of iron, which even a copper mouth and iron mouth could not bite.
Wu Yi stood on the top of the city, looking at the army in the distance. His mood was quite peaceful and not much touched. As long as it was within his expectations, he would not be uneasy no matter what. What Wu Yi really hated were those variables and changes.
The murderous atmosphere on the battlefield, the evil spirit of the white tiger rose in the sky. If someone with good luck were to observe it with his eyes, it would not be difficult to find that this was a battle between a dragon and a tiger. The dragon and the tiger were still very young, but between their proud roars, they already had the aura of an emperor. A single move would affect the whole body, and the affected area was not just this place.
The drums of war rumbled, and the majestic blood swept in. The demons retreated. Even the most rebellious demons, at this time, tucked their tails between their legs and dared not reveal a bit of their breath. They looked at the people on the battlefield like vultures, as if they were facing a dead person.
A man came from the front of the Yongwang army on a horse, with a flag on his back with a big "envoy" written on it. When the two armies fought, the envoys were not killed. Therefore, although Wu Yi knew that this person was here to disturb his army, he did not react.
If someone really did not trust Wu Yi, he would have abandoned Wu Yi as early as the moment the news of the Yongwang's expedition to attack Wu Yi came.
Those who wanted to turn against the king and help the king of Yong open the gate were purged by Wu Yi in the past few days and were not a big deal.
If he didn't dare to face even a small envoy, it would be a joke.
"The king of Yong has ordered that those who take Chen Yan's head will be marquis; those who are the first to rebel will be marquis; those who follow evil will be treated with tolerance; those who are stubborn will be killed without mercy!"
This order was simple and direct, and there was no content to persuade Wu Yi to surrender. When Wu Yi disobeyed the king of Yong and even assassinated the envoy he sent, it was impossible for the two to go back to the past.
In a war, the sacrificed are often small people, but the ones who survive in the end are also often small people. The more famous they are, the less likely they are to be let go. It can be regarded as the law of nature! The gains and risks are always relative.
The envoy shouted a few times in front of the battle and received a series of ridicules. After he shouted three times, Wu Yi ordered the crossbowmen to aim at the opponent's horse and shoot arrows. After shooting his horse to death, he fell to the ground and looked embarrassed.
This move was also a loss of face for King Yong. The envoy fled back in disgrace. Humiliation in front of the battlefield was also a common occurrence, just a small episode before the war.
In this way, the war finally began.
