Chapter 454: Exhausted Army
It was night, it was getting late, and the joint expeditionary army had set up camp in an orderly manner, and the tents had been completely erected.
The brazier was also built, and the crimson flame burned brightly in the night.
"How's the horse being built? Is the ditch dug yet! Speed up!" a lieutenant shouted a loud reprimand, urging the soldiers below to hurry up and complete the construction of these defenses in case the enemy attacks the camp at night.
The soldiers were already hungry, and before they could eat a full meal after they came, they kept working and digging pits, and a lot of resentment had accumulated in their hearts, but they didn't dare to attack because of military regulations.
This army of conquest came from all over the world, and was composed of many forces, and naturally the hearts of the people were not aligned.
Among them, the most powerful is the Prince of the East, the name of the Prince of the East resounded throughout the Fusang Dynasty, and the power of the Prince of the East is also the largest in the conquest army, in the eyes of many people, the world is his palace family, his family's foundation was taken away by others, and his palace is naturally very anxious.
Many people are also happy to sit and watch it come to fruition, many people have the heart to sit and watch the tiger fight, of course, there are also some people who are truly loyal and patriotic, and they are bound to avenge His Majesty.
"Smack!" the long whip slammed to the ground, and the lieutenant reprimanded a somewhat lazy soldier: "Hurry up and dig a ditch for me, and you will have something to eat when you complete the task, otherwise you will not eat tonight!"
This tall soldier almost had a seizure, this captain was not his direct commander, not even a person from his own force, but a captain in another force, and his own group was just sent to carry out the task according to the orders from above, that is, coolies.
Being severely reprimanded in front of so many people is difficult for anyone to accept.
"Okay, these soldiers have worked hard for so long, let's rest for a while, I ordered someone to make some food, everyone eat first, and only after eating will you have strength!"
A somewhat kind voice suddenly came from outside the venue, and the captain turned his head, and his body trembled after recognizing the person who spoke, and he sneered: "Your Excellency Prince Dong is really merciful. ”
After saying that, the lieutenant returned to his fierce and vicious appearance and scolded loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, and you haven't thanked Prince Dong! If it weren't for Prince Dong's compassion for you, you would have waited until you finished your work before eating!"
"What, it turned out to be Prince Dong!"
"What is this dogleg proud of, it's better to be Prince Dong!"
"Prince Dong is so merciful, I really want to go under Prince Dong, it must be very comfortable. ”
"Thank you, Prince Dong!"
After learning that this kind-looking, white and rich man was Prince Dong, these soldiers were very excited, they were lucky enough to meet such a big man, and Prince Dong actually had such a kind personality and was so considerate of his brothers.
In an instant, Prince Dong gained the favor of this group of soldiers, and because of his status, he directly brushed his favorability to reverence, this is the benefit of status, if just an ordinary person also helps them, they will only be simply grateful for this meal.
After brushing the favorability of these soldiers, Gong Yu's task has been completed, the goal has been achieved, and he will no longer stay here.
He casually said a few words to the soldiers, smiled and nodded, and then turned to leave.
Gong Yu also has his own ambitions!
He also has his own desires and careful thoughts about these allies who came together, as for achieving this goal, it is naturally very simple, even if this captain is not under his command, with the power of Gong Yu, he can easily buy this captain, and then one sings black face and the other red face.
The night was getting darker and darker, and the sky was completely dark.
In the sky, two bright moons crossed the sky.
It is rumored that there was only one bright moon in this world, but from that day, suddenly born in February, two bright moons hung in the air, one left and one right, as if a pair of bright eyes looked down on the world from the sky.
The two moons also make the night brighter in this world, and although the visibility is much weaker than during the day, it does not reach out and lose sight of the five fingers.
The brazier was supported by three black iron brackets, suspended in mid-air, and the flames inside the brazier crackled and burned dry powderwood, which is an extremely easy to burn wood, often used as fuel, and is a native product of the great world of the emperor.
The only flaw may be that the dry powder wood makes a violent crackling sound when it burns, like frying beans.
In the dark night, many soldiers have fallen asleep, and in the cultivation world where there are no entertainment facilities, or for these low-level soldiers who cannot access the entertainment level, their nightlife is generally boring and boring, so they often go to bed very early.
When the trap had been laid, the soldiers went into their tents and slept.
With the creaking of insects and the crackling of the brazier, the soldiers entered a beautiful dream.
In the depths of this quiet atmosphere, something strange suddenly mixed in.
Knock knock knock......
The sound of strong and powerful drums rumbled, accompanied by the killing cries of the golden iron horse.
War?
War!
Enemy Attack!!
The soldiers who were brought out were all veterans, and the recruits were left behind in their hometowns.
The veterans naturally knew about the enemy attack at night, and these soldiers would not fall asleep completely in this war atmosphere, they were all half-asleep, and as long as there was a slight big movement, these soldiers could be tossed awake.
Hurriedly, a grunt was to turn over, and in a hurry put on their armor, and picked up the weapons placed at the head of the bed, the soldiers rushed out of the camp with hasty steps.
Outside the tent, the night was dark, and the brazier was crackling and burning.
The writhing firelight pulled everyone's bodies to change and extend, reflecting on the tent behind them, but where was the enemy's figure?
Except for oneself, people are their own people.
But the sound of drums and cries of killing in the ears did not seem to be fake, and they were vaguely transmitted in the ears.
Listening to this movement, it should have come from the ghost tooth pass ten miles away.
In the camp of the coalition army, Gong Yu also walked out of the tent, and his powerful divine sense scanned all directions, but he found no trace of the enemy.
"Hmph! Suspicious tactics!" With a slight turn of his mind, Gong Yu understood the enemy's plan, and also understood why the scouts arranged outside the camp tent did not react, because the enemy did not come at all, how to report it?
"Neurotic! Don't these Xia people sleep?" The coalition soldiers scolded, if you don't sleep in the middle of the night, I still have to sleep, either you will fight with a real knife, or you can sleep peacefully, right?
On the other side, among the ghost tooth passes, the fire on the head of the city is bright, a brazier is burning, the city tower, including the city tower is brightly lit, bright, and hundreds of drums are placed on the city tower, which are all war drums beating on the battlefield, and there are strange things similar to microphones that have been amplified dozens of times in front of the war drums, and the direction of the microphone is all pointing to the coalition camp.
Behind the war drums was a brazen man with a naked upper body, bare breasts, a long red rope belt tied around his waist, and gray-white linen trousers on his lower body.
These strong men all held large wooden hammers the size of a football at the top.
Vest with sweat on his chest.
