Chapter 161: The Empty City

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Su Ya and many generals of the Northwest Army, the Northwest Army assembled in batches and marched into the valley corridor. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

This was the most spectacular scene that Joseph had seen since he came to the mainland of Ceylon: an army of tens of thousands of people, all kinds of baggage equipment, horses and soldiers, marched westward along the river valley in an orderly formation.

The army of tens of thousands was like a dark cloud, and the black oppressive crowd stretched on the road, like a torrent of black steel. However, in the entire legion, the noise of human voices was very small, and only the sound of rolling wheels, neighing of war horses, and the collision and friction of armor and iron weapons could be heard. Naturally, these tens of thousands of horses have a breathtaking momentum, even people who don't know anything about military affairs can see at a glance that this is a battle-hardened elite army.

José sat in a carriage and marched in the center of the ranks, almost parallel to several high-ranking generals such as Suya, whose troops in front and behind were legions guarded by thousands of cavalry. Originally, many people were quite hostile to him, a guy of unknown origin, but after Jose revealed his identity as a magician, his voice of doubt and disbelief became quieter:

After all, people like magicians are basically a group of people who are above the world in all countries on the mainland. As a high-ranking official of the empire and a nobleman of a big family, it is not uncommon for Su Ya to have several magicians around her.

José looked out in the car, and the little morton beside him couldn't help but look left and right curiously, for him, this kind of scene was also something he had never seen before. Looking at his appearance, Jose couldn't help but smile slightly, and suddenly, as if thinking of something, he took out a scimitar from his arms and handed it to Maudun: "This is for you!"

Xiao Mao was stunned for a moment, this knife was the same knife he gave to Jose before, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised, and quickly pushed it over and said, "Teacher, this is the scimitar I gave you, how can I take it back again, besides, don't you want to take me in again?"

Jose laughed, touched Xiao Maoton's head and said, "Of course I don't want you anymore, it's just that now that we are in the army, unlike before, there will be many dangers, and you can also reassure me with this." Speaking of which, this knife was also given to you by your father, or is it better for you to keep it...... Moreover, this knife saved the teacher's life!"

When Jose said this, he couldn't help but feel a little complicated when he thought of the Macedonian wizard Falusi who was killed by himself. But looking at Xiao Maoton's hesitant look, he smiled, and with a shake from his sleeve, there was a slender and long wand in his hand.

Little Maudun looked curiously at this strange object, which was somewhat similar to the wand in his teacher's hand, the whole body was pale white, but the texture was not wooden, but it resembled the wolf tooth hanging around his neck.

"Teacher, what is this?"

The corners of Jose's mouth went up, and a smug smile appeared on his face, as if he was very satisfied with the thing in his hand:

"This is a very good thing, how to put it, it is a top-notch wand with excellent magic conductivity, even better than the wand made of nutcrackers recognized on the mainland!

At the same time, it can be regarded as an excellent melee weapon, and its sharpness is far from being comparable to that of ordinary swords......"

With this, Jose pulled out the wand and gently stabbed it at the carriage next to him, only to see that the hard carriage made of solid wood was suddenly poked out of a hole.

This made Xiao Maoton a little surprised, this slender bone wand was so sharp, I'm afraid that his scimitar didn't stab such a thick plank, right?

Jose smiled slightly, pointed to the wand in his hand and said, "See? Xiao Maoton, this is not an ordinary thing, this is made of dragon teeth! Hehe, dragon teeth not only have excellent magic conductivity, but also sharp and unparalleled, such a good thing, but every magician dreams of it!"

When Jose said this, he couldn't help but think of the bone dragon that he had collected. This dragon tooth was pulled out of the dragon's mouth, and although the smallest one had been chosen, it was still almost a meter long. Whether it's a wand or a weapon, it's a very handy thing.

Such a high-quality magic wand can not only allow him to save magic power to a greater extent when casting magic, but also can be used as a powerful weapon for his yin opponent.

After all, this kind of thing is too rare, and if a magician approaches an enemy with a wand, it is far more harmless than a warrior carrying a sword. And at this time, the magician's body suddenly changed, and the wand in his hand suddenly became an indestructible weapon, and I am afraid that few people can react......

There is no doubt that José is very satisfied with this kind of dragon tooth sword that can not only improve the strength of magic, but also can be a yin person, and Xiao Mao suddenly saw that the dragon tooth sword was indeed sharp, so he accepted the scimitar with confidence, well, although he didn't quite know what Mr. José's sinister smile meant......

The army marched until late that day and reached a small town occupied by the Northwest Army. Advancing hundreds of miles in a day, this speed is not fast, but now that almost all the big towns outside the pass are in the hands of Macedonians, Su Ya still chose to advance steadily.

The vanguard was a mixed corps of cavalry infantry led by Ronkedo, stationed near the nearest county town a hundred miles away, not too far from the main force. According to the news that Ronktor brought back that night, the Macedonians had indeed gathered a large number of troops, and there were hardly many defenders in this county, and it took Ronkdo less than two hours to capture this county.

Such a smooth way, even ordinary soldiers can see that something is wrong, and it is clear that this county town was deliberately given up by the Macedonians. After Ronkedo entered the county seat, he found that the Macedonian defenders inside were only a few hundred people, and what made him even more angry was that the supplies, grain and grass in the city were almost empty.

According to the inhabitants of the county, almost all of the Macedonians stationed here had withdrawn a month earlier, and had even looted many of the city's shops and households, and burned all the food and grass that could not be taken from the military garrison.

It is clear that the Macedonians want to leave an empty city for themselves!

However, for security reasons, he did not rush to urge the large army to move closer to him, and did not station all his troops in the county that night, but divided some of the elite outside the city to prevent the Macedonians from setting a trap.

In his report, Ronctor speculated worriedly that the county town was probably not the first to be plundered by Macedonia. He was very worried that the remaining counties would be like this, and Macedonia would probably leave no supplies for the Northwest Army!

However, after Su Ya learned the news, she was very clear in her heart: concentrating troops, looting property, burning grain and grass, this series of actions shows one thing, I am afraid that this time the Macedonians are really going to retreat...... (To be continued.) )
