On the grassland, the eagle spreads its wings and skims across the vast grassland, countless magnificent ones are in full view, on the endless Beicang land, flocks of cattle and sheep are quietly eating fat and tender grass, the eagle turned around and flew to the high Beicang Mountains, the magnificent Beicang Mountains are at the feet, Shi Xuan is also very shocked when he looks down on the mountains of the Hengduan Continent.

Lin Zixu's spirit master and the tribe's shaman trained together for several days, until they could easily command the war eagle to fight, the sky is not a child's play, once they make a mistake, it is likely to lead to being surrounded and in a desperate situation.

On the starry night, the bonfire was bright in the camp, and the brothers and sisters gathered together to barbecue the fat prey, and felt a life like a tribal warrior around the bonfire.

Shi Xuan, as cultivators, rarely drink such a thing, but seeing the heroism and enthusiasm of the tribal warriors, they also gulped meat and drank wine, and even Han Yunxi, who had always been gentle, had to shout and beat her brother after drinking some wine, thinking that he was too strict, Han Yunyi's face was black.

Many brothers and sisters were also rare and happy to talk together, and on the night when the moon was like snow, everyone was also a little drunk.

On the grassland at night, you can always hear the roar of the wolves, they flash their eyes like ghosts across the grassland, they are the kings of the grassland, the Beicang tribe is like a lone wolf, when they fight alone, they can't beat the wild lion and can't beat the leopard, but once they gather into a powerful wolf pack, they can cross the grassland, even the powerful wild lion has to avoid its edge, and the current tribe, because of the previous fiasco made them understand the strength of the empire, if they are not united, they can only be defeated one by one like a lone wolf, and finally destroyed。

The united tribe is powerful, they have a warlike and bloodthirsty desire in their bones, they are not afraid on the battlefield, dare to fight and fight without fear of death, and have caused great panic in the south for thousands of years, but time has passed, and now it is their turn, the rise of the empire has flourished, and gradually has the strength to sweep the continent, and now the north cang has become the entire southwest continent, the key to turning the tide of the war, once they are defeated, the empire will completely master the powerful weapons of war, and it is not a lie to unify the continent in the future, even the top forces like Tianhua Sect do not want to hinder their pace。

Although this battle was well planned, it was actually a huge risk, and the Imperial army was firmly in control of the situation, well-equipped and well-trained, and it was not easy to break through from hundreds of thousands of troops.

Shi Xuan and they know very well the horror of being trapped in the vast array of soldiers, once they are exhausted, they can only wait for death, but this is their hope of defeating the empire, even if they die on the battlefield, they will not hesitate, although they have captured some spiritual ores, but the number and the empire must not be worth mentioning, they can only risk their lives. It seems that everyone is relaxed, but in fact, everyone understands the danger of this raid, even if the strength of the three armies like the senior brother is besieged, they can only be captured, let alone them.

Shi Xuan walked outside the camp, he looked at this grassland quietly alone, his thoughts had already flown to his distant hometown in the south, he had been far away from home for a long time, deep in the wild land in the north, at this moment he missed his relatives at home, the moon was like snow, and the starry sky was colorful, but he didn't care about such a beautiful scenery.

Familiar figures floated through his mind one after another, so that they accompanied his childhood, and now he was slightly drunk, and some sadness passed through his heart, he was carrying too much pressure, and even now, he didn't even know who his real parents were, and whenever he went down at night, he often dreamed of the nightmares of his childhood, which had tormented him for many years.

A playful and beautiful figure passed in front of him in his mind, the girl who accompanied him through the darkest moments in Tianhai Garden, Yuan Caiwei has not heard any news so far, she said that she came back here to look for him, but there is no trace of her now, is she okay?

At the moment when Shi Xuan was sad alone, an innocent figure came to his side, she was a little drunk at the moment, and she walked with a sway, "Senior Brother Shi Xuan, you are also here, the night tonight is so beautiful, as beautiful as my hometown", Han Yunxi smiled, but tears couldn't help but fall from her eyes.

Shi Xuan's thoughts were suddenly pulled back by her, he looked at the girl in front of him crying and her makeup was untidy, and walked over to hold her steady, "Senior Sister Han, what's wrong with you, is your brother blaming you?" Shi Xuan asked.

"No, I'm just homesick", Han Yunxi sat on the grass, wiping tears with her hands.

"Actually, I'm just as homesick as you," Shi Xuan said.

"Did you know that this mission is dangerous, and I'm worried about my brother?" Han Yunxi said.

"You should be more worried about yourself, Brother Han is very strong, even if you are in a desperate situation, you can kill in all directions, but you yourself are soft-hearted, in such a high-intensity military formation, I am worried that it may be difficult for you to adapt", Shi Xuan looked at Han Yunxi and said.

"No, in your eyes, I have always been a girl who does not grow up, but in fact, my brother and I have long been accustomed to bloodshed and sacrifice since childhood, we have seen our parents die tragically at the hands of the enemy, and we have experienced countless crises over the years, but I know that my brother is a person who is not afraid of death, and I am afraid that he will be deeply involved in this raid, and he will not be able to extricate himself and finally be buried by the hatred in his heart", Han Yunxi worried.

"It turns out that you are worried that he will lose himself, I think you also underestimate Brother Han, his will is by no means comparable to ordinary people, although he rarely reveals his heart, but I can see that he is a broad-minded person with a very high belief in the people of the world", Shi Xuan comforted.

"This is what I'm worried about, for so many years, he has never lived for himself, only I know, he keeps taking me away from that sad place, constantly fighting, constantly seeking justice, just to anesthetize himself, in fact, he has been silently bearing the scars in his heart, but never let me share them for him", Han Yunxi said.

"It takes time for the scars in my heart to heal, and I believe that Brother Han's high wind and brightness will one day find the sustenance of his soul and heal the scars in his heart," Shi Xuan said.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Shi Xuan, I can see that you also have your own thoughts, but you have been comforting me", Han Yunxi looked at Shi Xuan and said.

"Everyone in the world will have it, but now is not the time to think about this, this raid is crucial, we must succeed", Shi Xuan's eyes looked firmly into the distance.

"Promise me that all our brothers and sisters will return safely together," Han Yunxi said.

Shi Xuan nodded, and then said, "I have a lot of wine tonight, let's go back first, the night on the grassland is not safe", Shi Xuan and Han Yunxi returned to the camp at this time.

The war eagles of the tribe swept across the grassland to investigate the military movements of the empire, and the Northern Cang Alliance was also making corresponding war deployments, and now the troops sent by the six major royal families were in place one after another, and their counteroffensive was coming.

Located at the junction of the Wild Lion Tribe and the Yak Tribe, the Starfall Fortress has successfully separated the two tribes, since the fall of the Yak Tribe, this fortress has fallen into the hands of the Empire, if you want to break through the Empire's military fortress, the Starfall Fortress is the first level.

Shi Xuan As the most important raiders, the success or failure of their actions is related to the next actions of the tribe, so they rode their war eagles to the junction of the two tribes in advance to investigate in advance, and the tribe's army also began to act in depth.

The Celestial Starfall Fortress is already considered an easy and difficult fortress to defend on the grassland, for the steppe tribes who lack heavy siege weapons.

Shi Xuan and the others were stationed more than ten miles away from the fortress, and at night they rode their war eagles over their fortress to observe their combat deployment and prepare for the subsequent battle.

The empire can be said to be heavily garrisoned, this fortress has many heavy ballistas, there are many catapults in the city, and many warehouses are guarded by many heavy soldiers overnight, so it can be said that it is ready to fight at any time. Li Junxian can be said to have put a lot of effort into this operation.

In the camp, they had just returned from exploration, and several people began to discuss the battle plan, "Their defense raised their eyes Miller, this time we are fortunate that we are flying relatively high, their ballistas can't reach, if it is lower, our war eagles may be hit by ballistas", Shi Xuan said.

"Once the war eagle is hit and falls from such a high place, it is impossible for our spirit master to be able to carry it," Han Yunyi said.

"Yes, the powerhouses of the Heavenly Vein Realm can control the spirit weapon to fly for a short time, and the other juniors can only land after relying on the war eagle to descend", Yin Qianxi also felt very dangerous.

"Maybe there's a way," Shi Xuan said.

"What's the way?" Lin Zixu asked.

Shi Xuan escaped from several special spirit cores**, "These ** are specially made by me, after we throw them from a high altitude, it will explode and produce a large range of poisonous mist, which is enough to cover a large area, which creates conditions for us to land, but unfortunately there are too few such special **", Shi Xuan said.

"We can also throw some ordinary arcane ** from high in the air to disrupt their formation and take the opportunity to land," Lin Zixu said.

"The key situation of this operation is to blow up their heavy catapults, ballistas and try to blow up their arcane ** warehouse, without these weapons, the warriors of the tribe can start a battle, as long as the mission is completed, they will find a way to break through immediately", Han Yunyi said.

This was the first battle in which they organized a counteroffensive, and it was about their morale in the future, and they had to be able to kill with one blow and never drag their feet in the mud.

Soon the Horde's follow-up troops arrived, and in order to maximize the effect of the Celestial Raid, a midnight raid was necessary, when the sky was dark and the enemy's ballistas could hardly aim at the high-flying eagles in the sky, so as to reduce casualties.

After some discussion among them, Lin Zixu and their priests finally reached a consensus and worked out a strict attack plan together, and the Celestial Star Falling Fortress was closely monitoring the surroundings at the moment, and they were responsible for guarding the strategic place, and they did not dare to slack off even at night.

Under the stars and moon, Lin Zixu led a vast number of spirit masters and tribal shamans to form a surprise army from the sky, and they swept across the sky with some arcane ** and rushed towards the Heavenly Star Fall Fortress.

On the city wall, although the soldiers who performed the night shift were very sleepy, but they still stuck to their posts, they observed the situation around them, and suddenly a black oppressive thing floated in the sky, some soldiers were instantly frightened awake, they began to beat the war drums restlessly, and the guards guarding the city were carried out instantly, such a large-scale war eagle made them dumbfounded at once, many people began to turn their ballistas to shoot the war eagles in the sky, but the dim light at night was difficult to aim, and many arrows missed.

Shi Xuan and they saw the opportunity to instantly drop the special Arcane ** from the sky, the terrifying explosion killed a large number of enemy troops, the terrifying poisonous fog spread everywhere, and people scattered away, so that they were called to take the poison pill in advance, and directly drove the war eagle to land and fight, and other shamans and spirit masters also dropped some ** in many places to create landing conditions, and some unlucky war eagles were shot by heavy crossbow arrows, and fell from the sky and fell to death on the ground.

Shi Xuan's goal was very clear, Lin Zixu and them rushed to kill together, and in the face of the tidal wave of defenders, they slaughtered in all directions, and rushed towards the forehead catapult in the center.

The general defending the city was awakened by ** and led the troops to organize a siege, "You must protect the heavy weapons and kill them all", the general shouted.

Many imperial soldiers ignored the tired rush to kill, Shi Xuan's flames overturned their formation in pieces and strangled them all the way, Han Yunxi's aura showed them the way, they were almost unstoppable as a sharp knife team, Lin Zixu's fast sword was like cutting wheat to harvest the heads of the imperial soldiers, Yin Qianxi was also not to be outdone, his heavy sword swept thousands of troops, invincible.

Soon they raided in front of many catapults, they threw the small arcane ** they carried on the catapults, and the huge explosion instantly destroyed these heavy weapons of war, looking at the weapons turned into scrap copper and iron, the general's heart was like a knife, without these weapons they had no advantage in the face of the barbarian charge.

However, the people who came to raid this time were all spirit masters, and his soldiers fell like weeds, and he couldn't do anything about it.

Looking at the catapults that fell one after another, Lin Zixu shouted: "Go up to the city wall, destroy those ballistas, and blow up the gates."

The others heard Lin Zixu's command, and they all turned back and quickly climbed the city wall to start a big battle, the vast number of soldiers fell on the city wall, Shi Xuan burned a lot of ballistas and ** piled up on the city wall with an old fire, a huge explosion resounded in the night sky, in front of the fortress, tens of thousands of barbarian warriors frantically rode wolf horses, wild lions, and heavenly bears to charge, looking at the Tianxingluo fortress that turned into a sea of fire, they knew that the raid was successful.

Shi Xuan picked up some arcane ** and jumped off the city wall, directly blowing up the gate of the fortress, and with the fall of the gate, the cavalry of the tribe swarmed in, and this night was destined to be a sea of corpses and blood.

In the face of the situation that the general trend has gone, the general's face is like ashes, he made a military order in front of Li Junxian to defend the city, and now there is no way to retreat, but to fight to the death.

Without the help of heavy weapons, this war once again returned to the contest of primitive strength, the tribal warriors relied on the brutal charge to completely disintegrate the defense of the Celestial Starfall Empire's army, and the battle lasted until dawn, and the fortress at this moment had already turned into a sea of fire, a sea of corpses and blood, and a mess everywhere.

The Imperial defenders retreated again and again and lost the suspense of victory, and the general watched the few remaining remnants of the defeated general commit suicide in the fortress, and the war tribe completely played out the momentum and captured the key border fortress in one fell swoop.

This battle also announced the return of the Horde, their counteroffensive was in full swing, and this battle also played the tactical effect they wanted, and the Surprise Soldiers from the Sky began to show results, and they also captured a large number of arcane ** in this battle.

The fall of the Starfall Fortress instantly detonated many of the Empire's defenses, and they knew that the Horde was back again.

Li Junxian was very open to find out about the loss of the fortress, which dealt him a heavy blow, how could the tribe take the well-guarded fortress so quickly overnight, which made him deeply uneasy.

"What's the matter, what about my army, are they vegetarians?" Li Junxian roared in the military tent.

"The generals are acting closely and quickly this time, they must have come prepared, and we have to guard against it," said Xiao Han, the military advisor.

"This fortress is a strategic place for the Wild Lion Tribe to enter the Yak Tribe, and we must take it back", Li Junxian did not want to give up his hard-won gains.

"Now that they have breached the fortress, their foundation is unstable, we may be able to launch an attack and reoccupy the fortress," said Xiao Han, the military advisor.

"Organize a counteroffensive immediately, when the enemy army is really proud and complacent, you commander 50,000 troops must retake the fortress," Li Junxian said to his generals.

After Lin Zixu occupied the fortress, they immediately launched the defensive arrangement of the fortress, the enemy army has been rooted in the north for a long time, the strength is strong, this raid is very compact, the main force of the tribe has not yet arrived, once the enemy immediately counterattacks, they are extremely difficult to defend.

Countless barbarians under their command repaired the fortress, built defenses, repaired and installed some captured ballistas, and they had to hold the fortress and wait for the arrival of the follow-up troops.

However, the imperial army did not want to give them a chance, and the 50,000-strong army set out from the imperial city of Yakniu and went straight to the fortress of Celestial Starfall.

Lin Zixu and the others had already sent the War Eagle to reconnoiter the garrison of the empire around them, and soon a spy came to report, "Senior Brother Lin, it's not good, Li Junxian once again sent more than 50,000 elite troops to kill here, they want to regain the lost territory."

The army stationed here instantly sensed the crisis, they were only the vanguard force, and it would take time for the army to arrive.

Stationed here with Lin Zixu was a shaman of the Wild Lion Tribe, and he and Lin Zixu began to discuss how to deal with the menacing imperial army.

"Now that the Imperial army has returned, and although we have occupied the fortress, we have consumed a lot of troops before, how can we resist their army?" the shaman asked.

"It's impossible to defeat them, but it should be possible to hold them off and wait for reinforcements to arrive," Lin said.

"What do you think about it?"

"Although we don't have heavy trebuchets to project arcane**, we can also bury** in the places where they must pass to attack them, and this time we have captured a lot of arcane**, which can come in handy," Lin Zixu said.

"It seems that this is the only way, it is really difficult to carry out the Surprise Attack in the daytime, I just hope that this trick will work, so I will arrange for the warriors to bury the arcane ** in the land in front of the fortress", said the shaman.

The warriors of the tribe received the order of the shaman, and buried many captured arcane ** on the position in front of the fortress, and the enemy army would inevitably be ruthlessly attacked when they attacked the fortress.

Shi Xuan and they also rode war eagles across the grassland to reconnoiter the movements of the imperial army at any time, on the vast grassland, 50,000 troops rode war horses across the grassland, killing fiercely, and many powerful siege equipment were available.

Even Shi Xuan didn't dare to get too close, the Empire's heavy ballistas posed a huge threat to their warhawks during the day, and they would be shot down if they weren't careful.

The enemy had to take the lead at all costs, mobilizing their most elite cavalry to advance quickly, trying to capture the fortress before the main force of the Horde arrived.

After the investigation was completed, Shi Xuan and the others quickly turned back on their war eagles and told the shaman guarding the city what they had detected.

"The Imperial army will soon arrive at the fortress position, order our warriors to organize the defense immediately, send the rear of the War Eagle Road to urge the main force to support quickly, we must guard the fortress position, people can die, but the position cannot be lost", the shaman said to all the tribal warriors.

Many warriors have brought all the arcane ** they can use to the city, ready to fight to the death.

In the distant sky, everyone saw a black oppressive shadow pressing towards the fortress, the imperial army was like a rainbow, the whole body was armored, and it made a sonorous sound when walking, looking at the army that pressed over, all the soldiers defending the city felt depressed.

Shi Xuan and Lin Zixu, as agile spirit masters, the task of detonating the arcane ** fell on them.

"This time, we must let most of the heavy weapons enter the ambush position before they can be detonated, and try to destroy their siege equipment as much as possible," Lin Zixu said to Shi Xuan and the others.

At this moment, they relied on the shadow talisman forged by Shi Xuan to bury them around, waiting for the army to enter.

The army sent by the Empire could now see the fortress in front of them, and they saw the vast number of tribal warriors waving their banners and standing on the city walls, not afraid of their army at all.

"General, we don't see any special weapons from them, why were they able to capture the fortress overnight?" asked the general who was on this expedition.

"Could it be the same horde of undead summoned earlier?" the general guessed.

"Later, let's let our heavy weapons blast through their walls and annihilate their forces in one fell swoop," the general said.

"Let the soldiers hurry up and place catapults and ballistas at the best place to shoot, ready to attack at any time. ”

Under the command of the general, the Imperial sergeants quickly lined up, with heavy shields in front of them in front of them, and soldiers with spears in their hands covering the sappers behind them to install catapults and ballistas.

At this moment, the Imperial soldiers worked together to push the huge catapults and ballistas into Shi Xuan's ambush position.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait for my orders", Lin Zixu observed the situation on the field, and it was not until most of the heavy weapons entered the position that he ordered the detonation of the arcane **.
