Two hours later, the purple sun rose, and a pale blue morning glow appeared on the horizon. Reinforcements from the Cents www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion also arrived outside Joel in a hurry.

An army of 50,000 men, armed with weapons in hand, stood in a somewhat loose formation, three miles outside the city, staring indifferently at the low city wall ahead.

In the morning light, the city of Joel stood on the ground, exuding a faint light, looking calm and peaceful, without the slightest feeling of war.

"Goyechea, they're fighting well!" The main general, Xhosa, rode a tall horse with a confident smile on his face, waiting for the return of the sentry, in his opinion, Goyechea's 20,000 troops should not encounter much obstacle when taking a small city.

Not long after, there was a sound of hooves, and several sentry spons galloped back.

As the horse approached, the leader of the sentry sprang up from his horse, and then hurried a few paces, and replied in a loud voice to Xhosa:

"My lord, it's not good!"

Xhosa's smile froze suddenly, and he said in a deep voice, "What's the matter? ”

"Lord Goyechea, they, all, all died." The sentry leader had a horrified expression and stammered.

What the! Xhosa's eyes widened, revealing an extremely shocked expression, Goyechea is a famous brave general under his command, and he is quite good at resourcefulness, even if he encounters a strong enemy like the Wikipedia, he has the strength to fight, how can he end up in a small city, and end up with a total annihilation?

"Can you see clearly?" He asked the sentinel leader in a dark and grim voice.

The sentry hurriedly leaned over and replied, "The villains can see clearly, their corpses are all piled up outside the West City. ”

"What's going on?" Kossa frowned, looking at the small town ahead, but she kept thinking in her heart:

"No matter how strong the other party is, there are only thousands of people, and Goyeche is a sneak attack in the middle of the night, even if it is discovered by the other party, it will not be impossible to run away from even one person. Could it be that the other party has another helper? However, those who went to the meeting were all small tribes, and they did not have the ability or courage to do so. So, who else will have such strength? ”

"Batu, you take 2,000 cavalry, quickly check ahead, and it is best to bring back a few corpses. If someone intercepts it, don't fight it. He said to a fierce-looking general beside him.

"Yes! Harry, come with me! The fierce general answered, and beckoned a group of cavalry to march away.

Half an hour later, Batu and his men returned with several corpses.

"My lord, sure enough, it's Goyechea."

"What's going on in the city?" Xhosa asked hurriedly.

"We deliberately circled around the city of Joel, only the soldiers at the head of the city released a few arrows, and there was no movement in the city, and the west city was in ruins, and there was not even a city gate." After Batu introduced the situation, he said with a strange expression:

"Goyechea's bodies are piled up in front of the ruins of the Western City, and I took a closer look and found that their injuries are a little strange!"

When Xhosa heard him say this, he couldn't help asking, "How strange?" ”

Batu ordered the corpses to be placed on the ground and said, "Your Excellency, please see, there are marks of fire on their bodies, and there are many strange wounds, I don't know what kind of weapon caused them." ”

Xhosa quickly dismounted and walked over to the corpses, and the other generals also looked at them curiously, and saw that the wounds on the corpses were of different sizes and irregular shapes, as if they had been stabbed by many sharp weapons at the same time, and some of the other stumps were also rough and uneven, as if they had been violently struck by some heavy object, and they were broken alive.

Hiss! How exactly are these injuries caused?

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but gasp, their faces were awe-inspiring, they had never seen such a strange wound.

"My lord, I just took a general look, and many of the corpses outside the city were all in similar injuries, and it seems that they died at the same time after encountering some kind of large-scale attack." Batu added.

"Do you remember that in the Great Norman Forest, there was a kind of plant whose fruit was very hard and would explode when squeezed by an external force, and the seeds inside would fly out and take root on the ground?" Xhosa said with a solemn expression.

"Your Excellency is talking about Lei Gua?" One of his generals asked rhetorically.

"That's right! When this kind of thundermelon explodes, it is so powerful that the seeds can even shoot a distance of more than ten meters. I once met a man who was shot by this thundermelon, and the wound was a bit similar to these corpses. Xhosa said as he rummaged through the wounds of the corpse with a short knife and quickly picked out a few sharp pieces of iron.

"And so it was!" When everyone saw these pieces of iron, their eyes suddenly closed, and their faces turned pale. I can't help but think of how much pain Goyechea and others have to endure when they are attacked by such violent weapons.

"It seems that the other party has a powerful weapon!" Xhosa wondered.

"Morse, you take a team of 10 people, take my warrant and hurry back to the base camp and report this to Lord Gusta. It is said that the strength of the other party is unknown, but he holds a weapon similar to a thunder melon in his hand, which is extremely lethal, so he should prepare more armor and send troops as soon as possible. Cossa then said to one of his own guards.

"Yes, sir!" The guards also quickly took the order and left.

"Isaac, Will, Chebman!" When the guards were gone, he shouted.

"The last general!"

"The three of you, each counting 10,000 men and horses, will launch a tentative attack from the east, south, and west. Remember, don't get too close to the opponent's walls, try to keep a distance, stall for time, and wait for Lord Gusta to lead his troops before dueling the opponent. Xhosa's face was gloomy.

Judging from the wounds of the soldiers' corpses, this kind of weapon is extremely powerful, and no matter how brave and good the Sentes are, they will not rush to death in vain. Only with the use of heavily armored soldiers can there be any hope of breaking through the ruined city in front of you. I thought it was a soft persimmon that could be kneaded by others, but in a blink of an eye, it became full of thorns, making people unable to start, and also made the plan of the Sente tribe to unify the northern region helplessly shelved.

"Yes!" The three of them turned to count the men.

"Kun! You lead 5,000 men and horses, retreat 5 miles, set up camp, and take care of the grain and grass. ”

"The last general commands!"

"Batu, you lead 10,000 horses, and you will follow me to meet the siege army in front of you later! Grover, you lead 5,000 men and horses to be stationed in place, and take charge of the queen of the palace. ”

"Yes (as ordered)!"

I have to say that Xhosa is an extremely cautious commander, a series of command and dispatch, orderly, well-founded, 40,000 cente troops, each with their own orders, towards the city of Joel menacing.

At the same time, the northern tribes in Joel City were all excited and looking forward to hearing the news that the fierce and vicious Cents continued to attack, and in their opinion, this time they were fighting side by side with the gods of the Sang tribe, and the battle was decided.

What is there to worry about in a battle that must be won? (To be continued.) )
