Chapter 2470: Battle of the Gate

The soldiers in Segona City assembled into queues one after another. The newly transferred 140,000 soldiers were well-trained and were all veterans who had experienced many battles. At this critical juncture, Sand City wouldn't transfer miscellaneous troops.

If this war was lost, it wouldn't just be Su Xiao losing power, but it would also cause a morale blow to all friendly troops on the central battlefield. After being beaten for so many years, they finally had a troop that captured a Peru fortress, only to be pushed back just one day later. One could imagine how big the blow to morale would be.

Su Xiao capturing Segona City put Uno in a dilemma. Even if he was hostile to Su Xiao, he could only obey the Sand Emperor's order and transfer troops to Su Xiao.

Su Xiao stood on the city wall. At this time, the soldiers under his command had assembled in front of the city and were not guarding inside the city. Sand Flame's war machines were not good; guarding the city would only be a disadvantage. Once the enemy threw a large number of black oil barrels into the city, this city would become a furnace.

Su Xiao simply didn't guard the city, letting the soldiers assemble in front of the city to engage the enemy in a plain battle.

In terms of chaotic battle, Su Xiao really hadn't feared anyone. War Lord was a title very suitable for chaotic battle + protracted war.

A large group of vultures circled overhead. These vultures on the battlefield seemed to know that they would soon be having a meal.

Vultures circled, the sun hid behind the clouds, soldiers stood straight, and a murderous atmosphere appeared.

Before the war started, the first thing Su Xiao did was to delegate power. He had a total of 4 military guards under his command, one of whom had already set off for Sand City, replaced by Aus.

Under these 4 military guards, there were 21 division guards, and there were too many thousand-guards and hundred-guards below that.

Su Xiao delegated power to the 3 military guards. After the war started, as long as they didn't flee, they could fight however they wanted, everything judged according to the situation.

After receiving this order, the 3 military guards were both bewildered and excited. Being able to climb to the position of military guard on the front line and command 50,000 soldiers, who wouldn't know how to fight? These people sometimes dreamed of the fighting methods of various battles.

After delegating power, Su Xiao and Caesar talked in an unmanned place, with Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang and Bahar on guard nearby.

The thing Su Xiao entrusted Caesar to do was very simple, and that was to sow discord, to sow discord between the three military guards and the deputy commander-in-chief Aus, making them look at each other with displeasure, without becoming enemies or hostile. In short, they couldn't be allowed to unite.

Is it bad for subordinates to cooperate in unity and friendship? The answer is very bad. When the three military guards and deputy commander-in-chief Aus get along well and call each other brothers, how far is it from them uniting to deal with Su Xiao? People's hearts are separated by skin, and some things must be guarded against.

These people were not cultivated and promoted by Su Xiao. Su Xiao never thought that he had the ability to wave his arms and say a few nice words, and other high-level military officers would be brainlessly loyal.

A good superior-subordinate relationship is that several military guards look at each other with displeasure, and when they have nothing to do, they come to Su Xiao to complain about each other. Su Xiao will find ways to keep these people from becoming completely hostile and appropriately give them the benefits they want. Feeding them too full won't work, but they can't be hungry either. They must be kept "hungry" while also being "strong" enough.

After the war breaks out, because they are not hostile, they can cooperate with each other under Su Xiao's command. This is balance, this is the game of power, the rules outside the rules.

Caesar was stunned as he listened, nodding thoughtfully. When he was a military supply officer in the Long Teng Empire, other officials looked at him with displeasure, which made him suddenly realize that the problem didn't lie with him.

Right now, there was no need to do these things temporarily. The war was about to break out, and doing these things at this time would only have the opposite effect.

*Hum~*

The horn was blown, and the 200,000-strong army began to march under the deployment of several military guards. Su Xiao sat on an iron chair on the city wall, Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang squatted beside his legs, Bahar landed on the armrest of the iron chair, and the Black Dragon Midis was behind Su Xiao.

*Thump, thump, thump~*

It was as if war drums were being beaten, but in reality, it was a flat, hollow metal shield. The dwarf troops' attack order had already sounded.

Both sides began to march toward each other. The dwarf troops didn't directly use war machines this time. The miserable state of Segona City was still fresh in their memory. If they didn't solve that black dragon, once war machines were used on a large scale, these expensive pieces of equipment would soon be destroyed.

When the two armies marched to within one kilometer of each other, the sound of mountains and seas shouting came.

"Kill them all."

"Sand Flame scum."

"Dwarf trash."

The soldiers greeted each other's relatives and all the women in their families. When dealing with enemies, no one would pursue being vulgar. Only the victors could retain the reputation of all the women in their families.

*Boom, boom, boom... *

The soldiers in the front row of both sides collided. The shields in their hands all cracked, and some were even knocked flying.

The war had just started, and the soldiers in the front row of their side were already rushing into the enemy's formation in a crushing posture. This was caused by the War Lord's bonus.

Su Xiao and Spring Tieyang were both at the rear of the battlefield, facing each other. Su Xiao looked at the battlefield below. If Spring Tieyang didn't bring out war machines, he wouldn't make a move.

At the rear of the enemy army, Spring Tieyang stood on a chariot, looking around at the battlefield below. Seeing that the front of the dwarf troops was already in a state of defeat, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Order the Ram Cavalry Regiment to go to battle and break through the enemy's formation."

"My lord, isn't this too early?"

When Spring Tieyang's adjutant spoke, he had already sent someone to notify the Ram Cavalry Regiment to move out. He could offer his own opinion, but on the battlefield, as an adjutant, he had to convey Spring Tieyang's order immediately.

"The opponent is Kuku Lin."

Spring Tieyang's words left the adjutant beside him speechless.

On the battlefield, the soldiers of the two armies mixed together and began a melee. Just as the situation began to tilt to one side, the rumbling sound of iron hooves stepping on the ground came.

"Ah-la-la-la~"

A cavalryman riding a war ram, wearing heavy armor all over his body and holding a long-handled large war hammer, roared strangely. Behind him were dwarf cavalrymen riding war rams, though the war rams were slightly smaller in size.

Hearing this strange roar, a hundred-guard of their side turned his head to look at the source of the sound. Almost at the same time, the knight riding on the back of the war ram leaned slightly to the side. The war ram under him was a bit tall, and when attacking the enemy with all his might, leaning to the side to lower the height was even more ruthless.

The long-handled war hammer was swung. The hundred-guard turned his head at the same time. He only saw a black shadow approaching before his eyes. Then there was a buzzing sound in his ears. He felt himself becoming very light, and the vision before his eyes was rotating. When it stabilized, his vision was already level with the ground. He only saw a blood-stained war hammer hanging low, and the large ram hooves after the edge was cast in iron stepped on the ground, and darkness swallowed his vision.

The Ram Cavalry Regiment was like a sharp sword, rushing into their formation with unstoppable momentum. Wherever they passed, they left behind large areas of flesh and blood that had been hammered and crushed.

In Peru, troops that could be named after "ram" were not weak, let alone the strong rams.

Metal collided, mud stuck to the silver-bright shields, and soldiers with red eyes were fighting on the battlefield. The Ram Cavalry Regiment was indeed fierce, but after they rushed and killed for a while, they also felt the pressure increase significantly. The enemy soldiers around them were very difficult to deal with, and their strength was close to Peru's conventional elites. If they dared to rush too fiercely, they would definitely be eaten away.

A battlefield of 450,000 soldiers wouldn't end in an hour or even a few hours. The protracted battle on the plain began. ===== CHAPTER 2471 =====
