Three more ten, in the barracks outside the city, there were crowds, and they were busy with the whole team. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.
The meat was fragrant, and the huge mountain of mud crocodiles had been cooked by the fire, and the soldiers used skilled knife skills to cut the mud crocodile meat into almost equal sizes, and the respective battalions led it back to the camp for the soldiers to eat.
On the fourth watch, the sky was still unclear, and the soldiers hurriedly ate the cooked meat in their hands, regardless of the greasy mouth, and the whole army with guns was raised, and the ranks stretched.
At the moment of the fourth watch, Li Dong and Niu Tianfeng and the generals of each army walked out of the camp tent, without needing to make a generous statement, they each ordered their soldiers to march in the direction of Dilongyuan with weapons and ordnance.
Niu Tianfeng Mo Hengli Dong and others, riding a tall wildebeest, walked at the front of the team, with tens of thousands of soldiers in front of him, each holding a large plank, and the same was true of tens of thousands of soldiers behind him.
The wooden board did not have the fragrance of wood, and it emitted a foul smell, but despite this, everyone still did not dare to dislike it, nor did they dare to squeak, but they marched quietly in the night, relying on the body tempered by magic day and night, and by the faint moonlight, the footsteps were deep and shallow.
Finally, the earth dragon yuan arrived, and the soldiers in front had already begun to build the planks according to the predetermined route, and when the first person put down the planks in his hand, he immediately retreated to the side, and the second person stepped forward and laid the planks in his hands in the swamp.
The planks were about five feet wide, more than seven feet long, and nearly half a foot thick, all of which were made from the mountains and forests outside the city of Berman, and fortunately the trees of the Divine Grace Continent were thick and the strength of the soldiers was amazing, otherwise, it would have taken a long time to prepare these planks.
The troops of hundreds of thousands of people were in good order, and no one dared to say a word except for the sound of footsteps on the march.
In the dark swamp, the mud crocodiles hidden in the swamp may have been alarmed by the pace of the army's advance, and each poked his head out of the mire, hoping to taste a rare delicacy, but he was afraid of the faint pressure coming from the wooden plank, and hesitated to step forward.
Niu Tianfeng and Li Dong had already abandoned the wildebeest, although they had the dragon breath on the dragon dung for the wildebeest, but because the wooden planks were too narrow, it was really not suitable for the wildebeest to pass, so they abandoned the wildebeest on the edge of the swamp.
Niu Tianfeng was wearing a blue-black armor, this armor was originally the general armor of Li Dong, but because Niu Tianfeng was in a hurry, the armor customized by the emperor had not yet been completed, so before the march, Li Dong gave his armor to Niu Tianfeng.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, why do you have to march at this time?" asked a person behind Li Dong in a low voice to Li Dong.
Li Dong glanced lightly at the man in brocade clothes behind him, and said with disdain: "The soldiers are the most tired in the early morning, and it is the best time to attack the city. ”
Although the man was angry at Li Dong's disdain, he didn't dare to vent it, so he lowered his eyebrows and didn't say a word.
Li Dong snorted softly, he was very displeased with this person, this person was the prison sent here by Pickett, and Pickett meant that because of the lack of military food, he arranged for the prisoner
The army comforts the morale of the army, and at the same time supervises the battle ahead, so as not to let the generals slack off.
The overseers were proud of the emperor's order, ignoring everyone and arrogant, but they completely forgot another command of the emperor.
Niu Tianfeng didn't speak, his original plan was to wait for the day to cross the Dilong Yuan and launch an attack at night, but at night, it gradually spread in the military camp that the military rations were intercepted and burned, so that the army's heart was stirred, so Li Dong decided to attack at night.
The march went as smoothly as expected, and when the advance of the army crossed the swamp, the sky was dark, and the city of Guiret was silent in the early morning.
The army had not yet assembled, so it did not dare to attack the city rashly, but followed the dense grass next to the swamp, and approached the city of Guiret little by little.
Finally, the vanguard army had all come out of the swamp and assembled, and Li Dong and Niu Tianfeng also walked down from the wooden bridge.
Li Dong looked at Guilei City, which was extremely silent in the glow in the distance, and ordered: "Siege the city." ”
With the order of Lidong, the army charged, and the sound of 10,000 people running was like a drum, shaking the heavens and the earth.
The great commotion outside the city immediately alarmed the defenders of the city, but most of them were still asleep, and it was not until the sound of the war drums that they suddenly woke up, hurried out of the tent, disheveled, and hurriedly grabbed their weapons and ran to the wall.
But at this time, Tobias's vanguard army had arrived at the city, and the magicians in the rear, under the protection of the swordsmen, chanted magic spells loudly, only to see the colorful light in the air like a dazzling aurora, but it was the magic elements of various systems that rapidly converged above the magician's head.
Suddenly, all kinds of magic fell from the sky and smashed on the walls of Guire.
The rumbling sound was endless, and the miserable howl resounded through the heavens and the earth, and the city gate was bombarded by the huge earth ball technique, and it only lasted a few breaths before it was shattered.
"Hold on!" the guard waved the heavy sword in his hand to resist the falling earth balls and fireballs, and shouted silently, but the city was in chaos, and no one paid attention.
The war spread, and soon the fire in the city, in the rumbling sound, all kinds of fighting qi are like jewels on a plate, each blooming with light, Li Dong and Niu Tian stand on a hill outside the city, watching the battle in the city from afar.
"Haha, the gates of the city have been broken by the magician, and the city of Guilei is already under control. Li Dong Lang laughed.
Niu Tianfeng was not as careless as Li Dong, and his eyes were set on the two acropolises of Guilei City.
The Acropolis is only a few miles away from the city of Guilei, and it is an important place where the army is stationed, and once the city is fallen, the Acropolis can break the siege from the left and right, and if the Acropolis is attacked, the city can also respond in time, so that it becomes a mutual echo of each other.
Today, 100,000 troops are stationed on the left and right acropolis of Guilei City, in order to send reinforcements in time when Guilei City is attacked, and flank the front and rear to break the enemy.
However, just as the battle in Guilei City began, several dragon groans rang out from the sky, and I saw the dragons of each series falling from the sky and attacking the left and right acropolis respectively.
The scorching dragon flame was like a meteor falling from the sky, turning the two acropolises into a sea of fire in an instant.
Looking at the sky illuminated by red firelight, Niu Tianfeng felt a trace of worry in his heart.
The battle in Guilei City continued, after all, it was 100,000 defenders, and it was in various narrow alleys, although the city was broken by surprise, but it was still able to organize an effective counterattack by relying on the lanes.
Niu Tianfeng glanced at the battle in Guilei City, and then looked at the dense forest in the direction behind him, where there were still 50,000 enemy troops, although he had arranged for 20,000 troops to intercept their reinforcements from the Great Road, but he was still not very relieved.
The sky was completely clear, but the flames of war were still burning, and the shouts of killing barely stopped for hours.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, no resistance has been found in the two acropolis. Niu Tianfeng looked at the Acropolis in the fire, his eyes were a little worried, how to say that there were also 50,000 troops in the Acropolis, although they were not the opponents of the Dragon Clan in the air, but it was really unreasonable to say that they were just allowed to be slaughtered by the Dragon Clan.
Li Dong also frowned, he naturally knew that this situation was a bit unusual, but he didn't know what the problem was for a while.
"Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the enemy forces in Guilei City have been basically cleared. At this moment, a general covered in blood came to Li Dong and reported.
"So fast?" Li Dong frowned again, it stands to reason that it would take at least three or four hours for the 100,000 defenders in Guilei City to be wiped out, but now it has only been more than two hours, which is really a little strange.
"Could it be that I was afraid of the might of my army and surrendered. The prison guard behind him said confidently.
"No, only a few hundred of the enemy have surrendered, and there are no large groups of men and horses escaping at the gates. The general reported.
Li Dong frowned, looked sideways at Niu Tianfeng, who was also frowning, and said, "General Niu, what do you think about this matter?"
Niu Tianfeng thought for a while and asked the general: "Based on your observation, how many enemy troops are there?"
The general replied: "According to the reports of the teams, the enemy army is about 50,000 horses. ”
"Fifty thousand?" Li Dong and Niu Tianfeng were both taken aback, they had been informed before, there were 100,000 defenders in Guilei City, and 100,000 on the left and right acropolises, how could the defenders now only have 50,000 people.
Just as he was thinking about Dong and Niu Tianfeng, another one came riding the wind and dust. The rider came to the bottom of the hill, turned over and jumped off the back of the wildebeest, hurriedly came to the front of Li Dong and Niu Tianfeng, knelt down on one knee, and said: "Your Highness, General, Dumo City has been attacked by enemy troops and is in danger. ”
"What!?" Li Dong was shocked and hurriedly asked, "How many enemy troops are there and where did they come from?"
