Chapter 975: Soldiers Coming to the City
Xuan Bao nodded at Ning Jiujin, and then rode the red rainbow flowing clouds into the sky, and after a while, the 100,000 army disappeared!
At this moment, Lu Zhu, who was standing beside him inexplicably, threw the wine bowl in his hand on the ground with a "bang", and fell on his back.
Inexplicably, he hugged her and asked in surprise: "Luzhu, what's wrong with you?"
At this time, Lu Zhu's face was full of redness, his eyes were blurred, and the smell of wine spewed out of his small mouth, and he said, "I... Won't drink..."
All the women laughed, looking at her appearance, she was really cute! Danniang brewing technique is the first in the world, as long as there are raw materials, there is no worry about no good wine by her side, but she can't think of herself but is not good at drinking, it is not as good as the three little guys of Blue Leaf Santong, a bowl of wine is only drunk three times, and it is not finished, and it is actually drunk!
However, for the army of 100,000 people, this bowl of wine was too timely to drink! Not only did they not get dizzy, but they were sober-minded and full of energy, and they had no fatigue after a night's journey!
What was even more surprising was that everyone found that they had come to the foot of Dongshui City! It was less than five miles away from the city gate on the west side, and the Zhenhai soldiers who were leaning on the city wall and napping could be seen with the naked eye!
Originally, Xuan Bao wanted to send an army of 100,000 directly into the city, but if he directly participated in the battle of the human world, he would cause a lot of killings. Moreover, 100,000 people suddenly filled Dongshui City, and even Xuanbao couldn't predict what kind of result would happen, so he just gave up. Put them at the gates, and let them fight the rest!
Ning Jiujin looked up at the sky, and his heart was even more shocked. Before entering the Origin Realm, he also deliberately looked at the sky, at that time, the Big Dipper had not completely disappeared, it should be at the moment when it was just like the Chen, but he didn't expect that the Big Dipper was still in its original position now, that is to say, he did not delay time at all in the Origin Realm!
Dongshui is a privately opened harbor, so the city gate is not closed on weekdays, and there will be traders entering and leaving the city day and night.
What's more, there are 200,000 town navy stationed here, protecting this city, it doesn't matter if you want a city gate or not!
The entire Dongshui City is two or three times larger than the Knife City, the east and north sides are bordered by the sea, there is an East Pole Mountain in the northwest, the south is unblocked, the west gate is actually the southwest gate, and the knife city is relatively far away!
Across the boundless East China Sea, among the small islands in the sea, there are many other countries, such as Wadao, Mozhen, Juyi, and Yenan.
Because of the Dongshui Port, these countries have sent trade fleets to do business with the Central Plains, the town navy has been operating here for no less than five years, making a lot of money, I heard that they have 200,000 people, there are 100,000 war horses, and the huge grassland at the foot of the entire Dongji Mountain is their horse farm!
The two of them can have a war horse, looking at the entire Central Plains, no army can have such a large force! Moreover, the Dongshui horse is tall and strong, with long-lasting endurance, and it is not inferior to the Helan horse, and with a little training, it is an excellent war horse!
It's just that these town navy used them to grab food, and they didn't use them where they should be used at all!
So when he came, Ning Jiujin had already given an order, if he could, don't kill the horses, just kill people! Grab all these Dongshui horses and drive the town navy away! With these war horses, the Huilong army will occupy a very important position in the Xuan army!
It was already dawn, and the guards at the city gate were still lazily leaning against the battlements, holding a spear in their hands, and nodding their heads constantly, as if they had not woken up yet.
Feeling that his companion next to him was pulling his clothes, the guard, who was sleeping in a daze, scolded: "Big mouth, you have itchy skin again?"
"Big Paw, look, what's that!" the companion next to him couldn't even speak, and his tone was full of horror.
The big paw kicked him impatiently and scolded: "Look at the fart! We Ximen birds don't come to, could it be that those birdmen have gone out to the knife city so early? I've robbed it several times, and I haven't even grabbed any valuable things, it's really boring, it's better to lie down in the camp and sleep!"
"Come, come!" Big Mouth has always been able to speak, and there is no time for his mouth to be idle except for sleeping!
The big paw was a little angry, and he was about to scold when he opened his eyes and stared at the big mouth, but looking at the frightened look on his face, he was stunned again, how could this guy be afraid of being like this?
Turning around following his gaze, the big paw also weakened his legs, and almost fell on the city wall, holding the spear in both hands, trembling all over, "That's... Enemy attack! Go and tell the general, the Xuan army is coming!"
In the distance, the black and oppressive military formation was covered like a dark cloud, silently. Different from the previous charge, this time it was not swept like a storm, but just walking unhurriedly, it didn't seem to move fast, but in the blink of an eye, it was already clearly visible!
If it is rushed all the way, the charge of 100,000 people will simply shake the ground, and it will be discovered by the town navy as soon as possible.
But this time, it was Xuanbao who used the original realm to send everyone to the city, so he avoided the charge and could touch the city wall silently!
There were still less than a thousand steps from the West City Gate, and the horn sounded, and the Huilong army stopped. The horses in the army galloped forward, waving the flag in their hands quickly. This is to get the arrow array out of the ranks!
Ning Qijin waved his arm, and about 20,000 archers walked out of the army, running forward until they were a hundred steps away from the city wall before stopping!
There are less than 10,000 cavalry in the Huilong army, and archers and wooden spearmen are the main force, which is also their signature weapon!
At this moment, the general defending the city is named Yue Lunchi, and he is a distant relative of Yue Tianpeng! However, this person can become a colonel and a captain, but it is not all about relationships, he is indeed brave and fierce, and he is a rare general in the town navy!
There were about 10,000 people guarding the west gate, and most of them had already reached the city wall at this moment! Unfortunately, the time was too hasty, and there was not much to defend against the enemy.
When he heard the big paw report, Yue Lunchi was still sleeping with a powder head in his arms, and when he heard the big paw calling for the Xuan army to attack outside, Yue Lunchi kicked the powder head away, put on the armor and came!
Just by taking a look at the city wall, Yue Lunchi had already recognized it, and the Huilong army had set out! He had also suggested to the general to strengthen the western city wall to prevent the Huilong army from attacking, but the general thought that Ning Hualong did not have that courage, because this person was easy to deal with, and he would not fight when he could not fight, and once he did, it would be a battle to the death, and he would only fight desperately, and he would not know how to be flexible!
In the battle of Ice Cliff City, the vitality of the Huilong Army was greatly damaged! The Zhenhai watched coldly, watching the Huilong Army almost be killed by the Helan people!
Yue Tianpeng knew that Ning Hualong hated him to death in his heart now, but he didn't care! The strength was here, and the Huilong Army was not worth mentioning in his eyes!
If we want to put a good life on the road, go over the mountains and mountains to fight? Are we sick in the brain? If the Helan people come, let them try to attack the city? Within a month, Lao Tzu can recruit manpower and widen the city wall by five feet, and Lao Tzu has money!
Only the Helan people and the Xuanjun are the real enemies for Yue Tianpeng, and the Huilong army, which has changed its banner, is just a stray dog that has been beaten and bruised all over its body, whimpering again to find a new master, there is nothing to fear!
But now it seemed to Yue Lunchi that these Huilong troops were like stray dogs that had been beaten to the ground, but a dangerous and terrifying tiger! Just looking at their methodical attack, Yue Lunchi regretted a little that he didn't insist on it with the general at that time!
"Blow the conch trumpet! Inform the army, return to the dragon army to attack the city!" Yue Lunchi shouted at the messenger behind him, then pulled out the saber on his waist, gritted his teeth and scolded: "Hurry up and seal the door! What's the use, use a stone to top, use someone to top me, as long as you can stand up to the front of the army, you can beat away this group of earth dogs who can't even eat enough!"
Those robbers on the side of the Green River were indeed pretended to be by the people of the town navy. Their goal is not only those fertile fields, but also the test of Sword City.
Yue Tianpeng is not a stupid person who is so arrogant that he doesn't even pay attention to 100,000 people, if he doesn't understand the situation in Dao City, he will always have a knife behind his back, and no one will sleep peacefully!
So he became the best at it, and sent a team to act as a bandit, on the one hand, he could make some extra money, and on the other hand, it was to find out the situation in Sword City!
The original knife city was relatively poor, for Yue Tianpeng, it was just a dispensable place, and the Huilong army, who had already been beaten red-eyed, would give it to him if he wanted to rob it, and if he couldn't grab it, he would bypass the knife city and come to Dongshui!
Although the town navy is not afraid of these people, but fighting a war is very time-consuming, and there are casualties in the war, and no one knows how much loss there will be if the war is not over!
Therefore, Yue Tianpeng gave up the knife city, shrank all the town navy to Dongshui, and gave Ning Hualong a place to stay.
Originally, that place was poor, but when Ning Hualong came, he brought hundreds of thousands of mouths, even if he worked hard to open up and farm, it was impossible to afford so many people immediately!
What's more, Yue Tianpeng didn't even think about letting these guys recuperate in this place, because this battle would have to be fought sooner or later!
When the grain is ripe, they rob it, and then watch them starve to death! When they are almost dead, let the town navy come to finish it, and then take back the knife city, without any effort, they have already cleaned up the 100,000 dragon army, and let them plant food on the wasteland, such a good thing is what he Yue Tianpeng should do!
But now Yue Lunchi knows that Yue Tianpeng's calculation is wrong! What the spies saw was not the real Huilong Army, these guys didn't have the kind of people who were hungry and dizzy, and couldn't even hold a knife at all!
The Huilong army has been fighting against the Herlan people for several months, from 300,000 to these 100,000 people, not because of their shame, but for their glory! Because the remaining 100,000 have all become warriors who have been tempered for thousands of years, and their combat power is not comparable to that of the town navy!
Just look at the movements of their formations, as well as the rock-solid arms, and then look at the city defenders around them who are trembling with fright, and some of them are even wetting their pants, Yue Lun's face is like ashes!
Whether this battle can hold out until the army comes, it is really unknown! But how did this group of Huilong troops come here?
And they were supposed to be hungry and eat bran vegetables, why did they seem to have big fish and meat every day, and there was no sign of malnutrition at all?
