Chapter 1984 This Night...
Once, twice, three times——
Even the ground near the city wall was shaking.
The sturdy city gate was not broken, but several holes more than two inches deep were made by the ox horns.
With the help of the formation, this kind of injury can be healed in one or two hours, but a few thieves ran up from behind the fire bull and carefully stuffed egg-sized balls into these holes.
This is also a mountain-shaking thunder.
Normally they wouldn't dare to do this because the city guardian beasts wouldn't allow them to get close.
Under the rain of arrows from above, people and cattle evacuated quickly.
There were only a few loud noises and wood chips flying everywhere.
Several holes were blown out on the gate of Mian City.
But it hasn't exploded or fallen down yet, its quality is astonishingly good.
The fire bulls ran away, shook their heads, kicked their hooves, and rushed towards the city gate again, even faster than before!
……
The moon is like a silver basin, but it is covered with a few green shadows.
Dong Rui was lying on the hammock that the ghost ape had made, eating melon seeds while facing the moon. "The Emperor Liujiang is coming again. It looks like the people of Miancheng will be able to sleep well tonight."
This is the sign that the Emperor's Flowing Blood is about to fall. The Spiritual Blood has been coming frequently recently, and everyone has also summed up many rules. For example, the black hair is covered by the moon, and there are only one or two thin strands of black hair, which means that the Emperor's Flowing Blood that will come tonight may only be a light rain.
After the seventeen-day long spiritual fluid explosion, the resistance of all living things to spiritual fluid increased a lot. After all, after seventeen consecutive nights of high, the excitement had to be reduced, otherwise there would be danger to life. A few nights before the Emperor's fluid explosion, Dong Rui went out in the morning and saw a large number of dead insects and birds on the ground. He could often pick up stiff mice and rabbits in the wild, all of which died from excessive high at night.
In addition, there were several outbreaks and general disasters afterwards, and both humans and monsters gradually regained their composure.
However, "no war on the night of the Emperor's Flowing Blood" has become a new unspoken rule in the military. On the night of the Emperor's Flowing Blood, there are still too many uncontrollable factors.
"A good rain knows when to fall. If we can hold on for another day or two, Aunt Zhu should be here, right?" Just as he finished saying this to Wanqi Liang, a bird demon descended from the sky and whispered in Wanqi Liang's ear.
This is a scout in the army, specifically spying on Guo Baiyu's camp.
Seeing its panicked movements, Dong Rui felt something was wrong.
As expected, Wanqi Liang's face changed: "Guo Baiyu has sent out troops! The camp is basically empty."
"Come out in full force?" Dong Rui felt something was wrong when he heard it.
Although Guo Baiyu had the upper hand in the war against Miancheng, he usually adopted a rotation strategy, sending thousands of people to harass Miancheng, so that the remaining troops could recuperate.
But the bird demon’s current report is that Guo’s army has come out in full force!
Is this a general offensive?
Wanqi Liang immediately ordered the bird demon: "Go to Miancheng to find Huang Chengqi and ask him to prepare to defend against the enemy."
The bird monster responded by flapping its wings and flying away.
"The Guo army and Miancheng have been at loggerheads for so long, and every time the Emperor Liujiang comes, they will cease fire. Miancheng is also used to it, but Guo Baiyu is going to do the opposite tonight." Wanqi Liang said seriously, "No wonder this guy, as an outsider, can stand out among all the powerful forces and expand his territory. He is really capable."
Dong Rui spat out the melon seed shells with a "Puh" sound. "A tree that stands out in the forest, a red apricot that goes out of the wall, will be destroyed! But Guo Baiyu is launching a large-scale attack tonight, probably hoping to settle the matter in one fell swoop. Let's send out troops as well."
"Not waiting for Aunt Zhu?"
"He must have something to rely on if he dares to send out troops at this time. I'm afraid Miancheng won't be able to survive until Aunt Zhu arrives." Dong Rui got up and stretched. "Even if the tactics you mentioned a few days ago are not used, it can temporarily solve Miancheng's urgent needs."
Wanqi Liang pondered for a moment.
His and Dong Rui's mission is to come here to support Miancheng.
If Mian City is captured by Guo Baiyu tonight, the mission will be considered a failure, and no excuse can be given.
"Okay, let's go."
In order to avoid being noticed by Guo’s army, the Black Armor Army stayed twenty miles away, and it would take some time to catch up even if they tried their best.
However, with one third of the journey left, the scout ahead suddenly reported:
"The south gate of Miancheng has been breached!"
Wanqi Liang was so shocked that he almost stopped his horse: "So fast?!"
It has not even been half an hour since Guo Jun left the camp! In the past, the defensive battles in Miancheng lasted all night, and they never failed.
He immediately calmed down: "What happened to Miancheng?"
"From what I saw from the sky, the walls of Mian City seemed to be frozen, and several of the city's guardian beasts were also frozen and could not move."
"What means did the enemy use to freeze the city beasts?" This question was not asked to the scout, but to Dong Rui. The latter said: "If Guo Baiyu had this method, he would have used it long ago, without waiting until now; either this is a magic power recently supported by Qingyang or the gods; or... the city beast talisman array has been tampered with!"
"Traitor?" Wanqi Liang gritted his teeth, "How hateful!"
The best time is just a few days away!
Another five or seven miles to the front line, he immediately divided his troops, 400 men went to seize Luofengtan, 400 men went to attack Guo Jun’s camp, taking advantage of their emptiness and cutting off their retreat. The rest were led by the generals to rush to the rescue of Miancheng.
……
Xiyun Gorge.
This is the boundary from mountains to plains. Standing in the town, you can see waterfalls flowing out of the mountain stream and white rainbows hanging.
Hence the name of the place.
Now this place has become a military town - the meeting place of the Dragon God Army. The tents outside the town are neatly arranged, but there are still many empty spaces.
The first one to arrive was He Lingchuan, who took over this place.
Today is the last day of the three-day period. The other two teams have been split into several parts according to actual combat needs and are arriving one after another to set up camp and settle down.
A blazing bonfire was lit in the camp, with wild boars, camels, goats, chickens and rabbits roasted around the fire, and the aroma of fat filled the air.
The steamed bread and brown rice in the earthen stove are cooked. Add some fat meat and sour berries, or spicy noodles to them and you'll be so hungry.
Too bad I can't drink.
Tonight is a reward banquet. Emperor Jiuyou will reward heavily all the troops that have won the battle and arrived at Xiyunjian on schedule.
There was laughter and joy in the camp, all of which were due to the relief after the fierce battle.
The intensity of the fighting in the past three days has been more intense than in the past two years combined.
But the soldiers were very excited. They gathered in groups of three or four and boasted about the battles of the past few days.
"In two days, we traveled sixty miles and fought two battles. God, I don't know how I survived!"
Another one chuckled: "We also forced our way into Hezi Pass. The Bisha people guarding the pass looked at us as if they had seen a ghost."
"What he wanted to say was that you weren't so aggressive last time."
Everyone laughed.
"It turns out it's not us who are incapable." Another Pei countryman gnawed on a steamed bun and spoke incoherently, "We win battles as soon as we follow the Dragon God."
Everyone nodded.
Yes, the allied forces had been fighting with Bisha for more than two years, and even if there was a huge hatred, it had worn off. Everyone was exhausted from fighting, and they only thought about when they could be free.
It’s different now, fighting is fast and exciting, and the key is always winning!
