Chapter 1676: Attack on the Camp
Finally arrived at Tamgan, because there was a little delay on the way, especially dealing with the Wadu incident, so when I arrived here, it was already late at night.
This is the westernmost part of the prairie, and further west, there is the deserted Gobi, the Gobi past, it is the Great Desert, that is the real Bailuan Forbidden Zone, except for the orcs who have been in and out, there is no one else alive and in and out!
Originally, I thought that after all, it was a city, and at least there was a street market, right? But when I got here, I found that there were only a few thatched houses and stone houses, and they could actually be called a city?
It's too desolate here, and the wind and sand are strong at night, mixed with the howl of wolves, it looks very desolate and miserable.
But it's not unpopular, at least the 50,000 Heaven Breakers are still stationed here, and they've been here for two or three months, and they don't seem to have adapted to the environment here.
Xuan Bao was about to go in, but suddenly saw a white flag hanging on the tent in the barracks!
Seeing the white cloth fluttering in the wind at night, there was always a feeling of gloomy atmosphere, and Xuanbao's heart sank, and he had a bad premonition.
In the Central Plains, white flags are hung in the barracks, and this can only happen when the chief general in the army is killed! What is the situation now? Has the chief general already been killed? Who is the chief general? The rat king? Yuan Tai? Or is it someone else? 50,000 soldiers of the Heaven Breaking City were beheaded by someone else against 10,000 horse bandits?
With deep curiosity, Xuan Bao trotted towards the barracks in the red rainbow clouds, and a sentry had already discovered it, and shouted: "Who is coming? Stop quickly!"
Unexpectedly, the Sky Breaker City even brought the big crossbow to defend the city, and it seemed to be ready at any time, and when he heard the sentry shouting, the crossbowman immediately aimed the crossbow arrow at the red rainbow Liuyun.
It seems that the guards here are still very thorough, but Xuan Bao can also see from the faces of these people a kind of panic similar to that of a frightened bird! Could it be that they have been stolen by horse bandits before? A fifth of the horse bandits are so rampant that they dare to come here to steal the camp?
"I'm Xuanbao!" Xuanbao said lightly. Inside, it seemed to be a fried pot, and a sentry had already approached cautiously with a lantern, and after seeing Chihong Liuyun and the people on horseback, he suddenly knelt on the ground, and shouted: "See the emperor!"
Until now, Xuanbao is reluctant to call himself "I" in front of anyone, this word really has too much sense of superiority, a sense of overlooking from above, for Xuanbao, I don't like it very much.
Although he already has this qualification, and he is the only one in the entire Central Plains who is qualified to use this title, in his heart, there is still an instinctive rejection.
The emperor went to the grassland frontier in person, which was the most noble priority for the entire camp, so soon the camp became lively, and the Rat King ran out of the camp with a group of soldiers to welcome Xuanbao into the camp.
These soldiers of the Heaven-Breaking Army are even more fearful and cautious. At the beginning, Yuantai decided the future of Broken Sky City with the attitude of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger, and everyone, including these soldiers, regarded Yuantai as the great savior and benefactor of the entire Broken Sky City.
But after Xuanbao subdued the entire Central Plains, the people of Heavenbreaker City found that their situation was too embarrassing!
The emperor did keep his promise and did not send officials to take over the city, but it made the whole city feel isolated, feeling like an island in the middle of the sea.
is surrounded by the territory of the Xuan Dynasty, and only his own family is excluded. I don't have to pay to the Xuan Dynasty, but some of the policies of the Xuan Dynasty that benefit the people are not likely to fall on the people of the Heaven-Breaking City!
Three years ago, the Heaven-Breaking City could still have proud capital in front of some towns in the Yin Dynasty, and there were troops stationed here with the old general Yuantai, like a paradise.
But after the establishment of the Xuan Dynasty, Jiangnan was full of thriving construction scenes, and the Broken Sky City was like a forgotten corner, where you could only covet the development of others and swallow your own saliva!
In such an environment, not only the people of Heavenbreaker City complained, but even Yuantai himself regretted it. But it is not so easy to really belong.
When the Xuan Dynasty was established, the Heaven Breaking City did not contribute, and when it was time to enjoy the fruits of victory, he wanted to join in, not to mention that the Xuan Dynasty would not agree, even Yuan Tai himself did not have this face.
As a soldier, Yuan Tai knew very well that if he wanted to be qualified to join the Xuan Dynasty, he had to pay a certain price, so he finally seized the opportunity of this expedition to the grassland, and came to Tamgan with 50,000 Heaven Breakers to suppress bandits.
But no one thought that this was the last armor of the old general, when he first arrived in Tamgan, the old general suddenly fell seriously ill and died because he did not adapt to the climate and environment here!
This is the reason why Xuanbao saw Shirahata in the barracks, and he couldn't imagine that the person who died turned out to be an old general! Before the battle was fought to the end, the general of the bandit army fell ill and died, and this incident sounded really a little funny and a little helpless.
"The body of the old general has been transported back to Heaven Breaking City, and the military power here is handed over to his youngest son Yuan Qi, and my identity is that of the overseer!" said to Xuan Bao in a low voice to the Divine Rat King, who had already reported to Xuan Bao in his current form just now.
Xuanbao nodded, looking at the group of soldiers kneeling in front of him, led by a burly man about thirty years old, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and Yuan Tai is seven points similar, that is Yuan Qi.
"Get up, I know the last wish of the old general, go back from the grassland, and you will be included in the Xuanwu Corps Tiger Courage!" Xuanbao whispered to the soldiers.
Yuan Qi and everyone looked surprised, they were so close to the Domain Saint Pass, of course they knew the prestige of the Tiger Courage Army, and they didn't expect that they would become one of them in the future, which was already beyond Yuan Tai's expectations at that time!
Not everyone is willing to be a city guard, with the scale of the Breaking Heaven City, the 50,000 city guards are too bloated, so a large part of them wear military uniforms, but they have never participated in a battle, and they have not even been on duty and sentry, so they stay in the barracks, eating, drinking, and having fun.
Even if he is a child of the Heaven-Breaking City, since he chooses to be a soldier, he is thinking that he will be able to fight on the battlefield, obtain a meritorious service, and come to glorify his ancestors. But in Sky Breaker, they didn't have such an opportunity.
Even if they joined the Xuan Army, with their combat power and quality, they could not be compared with the Xuan Army at all, and they would definitely still be scattered to various cities as city defenders who could only open and close the city gates.
In fact, the defenders of the Xuan Dynasty were all elite soldiers, and the Xuanwu Corps was best at defending the city, so most of the defenders who were stationed in various cities were members of the Xuanwu Corps.
But this is really a very boring thing for the Sky Breaker Army, because this is what they have been doing, and they also fantasize that one day, they will be able to put on their battle armor, step on their war horses, and cut off the heads of dozens of their enemies!
Now, the opportunity has been placed in front of them, and the emperor has personally promised that after they go back, they will join the Xuanjun Army, whose combat strength cannot be said to be the strongest, and it is also the top three Tiger Courage! This is simply a great honor, how can it not make everyone excited!
The Rat King said to Yuan Qi, who had just stood up, on the side: "Don't be too happy too early, the most important thing for the Heaven Breaker Army at present is to exterminate those horse bandits in the Red Valley first, and at this moment, you must let the Heaven Breaker Army get sharp, otherwise you won't be able to keep up with the pace of the Tiger Courage Army!"
When these words came out, Yuan Qi and the group of soldiers behind him were blushing and thick-necked, and their expressions were extremely embarrassed. The Sky Breakers are too pampered, and years of comfortable life have turned them into ordinary people in military uniforms, not soldiers.
The most humiliating thing is that the 3,000 bandit army besieged 500 horse bandits, and they were even run away, and more than 200 people were sacrificed in vain, but it was just the lives of 20 people!
If it weren't for the timely arrival of the reinforcement army, these 3,000 people might have been killed by 500 people, and that would be a big joke!
The combat power of the Breaking Heaven Army can be seen, all the excuses are no longer excuses, all the way from the grassland, the Breaking Heaven Army has fought with the horse bandits a total of 12 times, killed more than 500 people, and killed the enemy can break 100, such a record, it is really embarrassing!
That is, relying on the large number of people, so they can drive the horse bandits back to the Red Valley, but there are still more than 1,000 scattered forces of horse bandits left in the grassland.
The first thing to do now is to turn the Sky Breaker into a group of soldiers. The Divine Rat King is also not familiar with training soldiers, fortunately Xuanbao is here, although he can't do it, but there are soldiers in the original realm, and they are also soldiers comparable to heavenly soldiers, so it is not difficult to train these old soldiers.
"Woo!" A horn suddenly came from outside, and Yuan Qi frowned and scolded: "It's another attack on the camp, damn it!"
Attacking the camp? Who was so bold that even the big camp dared to sneak attack? Could it be that the horse bandits? How could they be so arrogant and bully the bandit army?
Xuan Bao also frowned slightly, and said to everyone: "Let's go, go out and have a look!" It seems that this is not the first time such a thing has happened, so although everyone is angry, they also seem to be surprised!
Except for the big tent, there was already a mess outside, and groups of soldiers stared at the red eyes, hurriedly holding their helmets and weapons, and rushed to the camp gate.
Seeing the panicked appearance of these people, Xuan Bao's brows furrowed even tighter, and when he walked to the door of the barracks, the situation in front of him made him cry and laugh.
The people who attacked the camp had already been caught, and hundreds of skybreakers surrounded a dozen people with angry expressions, these people were the ones who had just attacked the sentry at the gate with stones and homemade bows and arrows!
But these guys, the eldest is only twelve or thirteen years old, and the youngest is only five or six years old, and they all stared at the surrounding Skybreakers with hateful eyes, and they didn't even have the slightest look of fear!
"Just a bunch of children, making the whole camp restless?" Xuan Bao squinted at Yuan Qi, it was really a bit unbelievable.
Yuan Qisheng blushed and said to Xuanbao: "Sometimes it's a real horse bandit, and sometimes it's just a child. If you catch these children, you can't really kill them, and you have to let them go in the end!"
Xuanbao snorted, turned his head and asked him: "What about the scouts? What about the dark sentinels? There are no patrol guards? You have not yet joined the Xuanwu Corps, and you have already learned to be the eighth king? You have shrunk your head and claws into your shell and dare not come out? In this way, even if you add another 50,000, you will not be able to defeat the horse bandits!"
