Chapter 395: General Xiong
"Boom..."
When the Gentian Battalion entered the city, the north gate of Huoyue City had already fallen apart, and the gate had been broken when the armor demon broke through the city a few months ago, and now it was expected to be shattered by the heavy shield of the Gentian Battalion soldiers.
The four hooves of the snow stepped on the broken gate and slowly entered, Lin Muyu held the reins and looked at the ash marks in the city, the demons must have let go of the fire when they entered the city, and the granary, temple, blacksmith shop and other facilities in Huoyue City were all in ruins.
......
Wei Qiu looked at the surrounding Yi Qi with a pair of starry eyes, and frowned: "Commander, this is completely a ruin, it can't be defended at all, we shouldn't waste time here." ”
"I know. ”
Lin Muyu nodded and said, "The demon clan may make a comeback at any time, so we must quickly transfer the people here, send people to gather all the people in Huoyue City, go out of the city from the north gate, and send a hundred people to escort them over the Qinling Mountains to live in Cuckoo City." ”
"Yes. ”
Wei Qiu frowned, and then asked, "My lord, will the city lord of Cuckoo City accept these people?" After all, these people were the people of the Righteous Kingdom before, and they were hated by our empire, and I am worried...... The lord of the castle will kill these people. ”
"It's okay, I'll write a letter. ”
"Yes..."
......
At dusk, nearly 20,000 hungry craftsmen were recruited, as the hunter said, this group of people had their own skills, some stonemasons, some carpenters, and some bowsmiths, these were all people who could be directly recruited by the imperial army, not to mention that the empire was building steel parapets, and the demand for blacksmiths and stonemasons was high, and at such a time, these people were even more precious than gold.
"Brush ......"
Lin Muyu brushed away a blackened blacksmith platform, put the cloth on it, and then took the pen and ink from Wei Qiu's hand, and carefully wrote a letter to the city lord of Cuckoo City: "Lord Wang Ju, these people are all refugees from Huoyue City, and everyone has some skills, so I decided to transfer them to Cuckoo City and become subjects of the empire, and I hope you will make arrangements for your life and don't hurt them." ...... Lin Muyu"
After finishing writing, he took out the seal from the Qiankun bag and covered it with the blood-red seal clay that Qin Yan was holding.
Subsequently, he rushed into the granary and slaughtered several armored demons who were guarding the grain, and distributed the food to the civilians.
Until late at night, a hundred cavalry of the Gentian Battalion slowly escorted 20,000 civilians out of the city, and the valuable things in Huoyue City were almost empty, and these civilians left with countless things, such as food, gold coins, iron tools, etc.
On the city wall, Lin Muyu watched this group of refugees leave, the cold wind in the night blew on his face like a knife, he gently pressed the city wall, opened the march map again, and groped for the cities on the map by the starlight, and finally, his finger lightly pressed on a city marker on the map and did not leave.
Wei Qiu stood aside and said with understanding: "Star Peerless City, a very rich city, originally had a population of more than 200,000, and now there shouldn't be much left, Commander, do you want to fight Star Peerless City?"
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu looked at him with clear eyes, and said with a smile: "Send someone to investigate near the Star Peerless City to see how many armor demon towns are guarding in the Star Peerless City, it shouldn't be much." ”
Wei Qiu nodded: "The army of the armor demon almost went out to the direction of Bailing City to fight Long Qianlin, naturally there will not be too many defenders here, but my lord...... The Star Absolute City is too close to the Sunset City guarded by Ding Xi, and the riding distance from the steel parapet wall to the Star Absolute City is no more than two hours at most, even the infantry can arrive in half a day, and if we attack the Star Absolute City, we may have to face the army of the Lingnan Boxer Kingdom at any time. ”
"I've made up my mind, so I don't need to say more. ”
Lin Muyu breathed a sigh of relief lightly and said, "Let everyone eat and sleep well tonight, and set off early tomorrow morning to attack Xingjue City, still march lightly, bring three days' worth of dry food, and withdraw all the supply troops to Mosong Pass." ”
"We don't want supplies?" Wei Qiu was stunned.
"It doesn't matter, as long as we capture the Star Peerless City within three days, there is food, if we can't capture it, we will go back to the territory of the empire, it is too dangerous here. ”
"Yes..."
On this night, nearly 5,000 troops of the Gentian battalion slaughtered hundreds of livestock found in the city, boiled a pot of broth, let the soldiers eat a beautiful meal, and the war horses were fed with fodder.
On the side of the Zhongjun tent, Lin Muyu did not sleep, but lay on the huge grinding plate on the side, looking up at the starlight, his body naturally stretched, absorbing the power of the stars in the starlight, and at the same time running the fighting qi in his body again and again according to the mantra of the Xingchen Jue, but he was never able to break through that layer of imprisonment, and he was never able to comprehend the power of the fourth heaven of the Xingchen Jue.
In the late autumn night, a layer of frost sprinkled down, just like that, fell on Lin Muyu's face, but it didn't melt, and the layer of star power plated on the skin of his face exuded a beautiful luster, which was refracted from under the frost, which was particularly beautiful.
......
Early in the morning, waking up in a noisy sound of horses' hooves and shouting and scolding, Lin Muyu opened his eyes leisurely, and it was Fengxi who was scolding, this guy had a violent temper, and the soldiers who were reprimanding the Linghuo Division actually burned the marching cake and wasted food in vain.
"Big brother, it's time to eat..."
Qin Yan brought bread and broth, and there was a large piece of meat and bones in the soup bowl, which seemed to be beef, and the aroma was overflowing.
Lin Muyu took it honestly and unceremoniously, he was indeed hungry after a night of cultivation, and drank soup and ate meat, while Qin Yan gently raised his hand on the side to help Lin Muyu pat the frost off his shoulder, and said with a hot smile: "Big brother, you haven't rested in the tent all night?"
"Well, the cultivation of the Star Jue needs to absorb the source of the power of the starry sky. ”
"It's really a peculiar martial art, but it's also very strong..."Qin Yan smiled.
Lin Muyu also smiled and continued to bite the pie, Qin Yan was more like a younger brother to him, and after Qin Lei's death, Qin Yan did regard Lin Muyu as an elder brother, otherwise he would not have screamed as a big brother.
It's not bad to have such a little prince's younger brother, who is strong and loyal.
After eating a large bowl of meat, Lin Muyu clapped his palms and said, "Clean up and get ready to continue marching." ”
"Yes..."
Qin Yan washed the soup bowl and handed it to the soldiers of the Spirit Fire Division, then led the snow over, and said with a smile: "Big brother, we will only be able to arrive at the Star Peerless City at dusk today, do we want to attack the city immediately?"
"Hmm. ”
Lin Muyu bowed his head and said: "Hurry up and take the Star Absolute City before the demon army reacts, and then take the good things of the Star Absolute City and transport them back to Lingbei, rather than leaving them to the Demon Clan, it is better to leave them to the empire." ”
"Ha, that's what I thought too..."
"Let's go..."
"Yes..."
The army marched mightily, the flag of the Ziyinhua Empire was waving in the wind, and the soldiers of the gentian battalion were full of spirit one by one, the distinctive military posture of the sword and armor was full of majesty, and the morning light dragged the shadows of everyone for a long time, and on a dead land, this army galloped away, as if it had brought a ray of life to this large area that had been slaughtered.
......
Sunset City, behind the steel parapet wall, the camp of the Boxer country is connected into a piece, people shout and neigh, very lively, between the criss-crossing camps, a column of iron cavalry quickly entered the big tent of the Chinese army, walking in the front is a senior general wearing a two-star captain on his shoulder, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a beard, and a chilling anger in his eyes.
Holding the hilt of the sword at his waist, he stepped into the tent under the protection of the guards, and in front of him was Ding Xi, who was holding a bowl of marching broth.
"The last general Xiong Chao, see Ding Shuai...", he said loudly.
Ding Xi raised his head, smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Why did General Xiong come to the former military camp, weren't you with Marshal Lu Zhao in Sunset City?"
Xiong Chao raised his eyebrows and said: "Sunset City is full of warblers and Yanyan, I, Xiong Chao, am a rough person, I can't stand this, so Marshal Lu Zhao ordered me to lead three thousand iron horses out of the steel parapet to test the situation of the demon clan." ”
"Out of the steel parapet?"
Ding Xi frowned and said, "Marshal Lu Zhao should also understand the danger in the north of the steel wall, right? As long as the demon clan dispatches a legion of 1,000 people, I'm afraid that General Xiong's 3,000 iron cavalry will not survive." ”
Xiong Chao smiled: "Ding Shuai is too worried, even though the demon clan's armor demon is powerful, but after all, it is still a fool, as long as we use rockets to shoot them, how can the armor demon be able to win us? ”
Ding Xi squinted his eyes: "General Xiong really has to fight?"
"Yes, I'm up to it. ”
Xiong Chao took out an arrow and said, "This is the arrow issued by Marshal Lu Zhao to the last general, and I hope that Ding Shuai can release it." ”
"It seems...... Ding Xi smiled slightly and said, "But after the steel parapet is out, there is nothing to protect you, and there is still ...... There are not only demons in the north of the parapet wall, but also the army of the empire, Lin Muyu's gentian battalion is said to have entered Lingnan, you must be careful, once you encounter the gentian battalion, do not face it, and immediately withdraw to the steel parapet. ”
"Imperial Army?"
Xiong Chao pressed the hilt of his sword with his hand, and his face was full of disdain: "Ding Shuai has not fought for too long, and he has lost the sharpness of the commander of the first army, right? Why should Lin Muyu and the Gentian Battalion be afraid? Could it be that Ding Shuai has forgotten that in the battle of Lanyan City, the Raushzi Gentian Battalion and the Royal Forest Army were all killed by our army in Sunset City and fled? If Lin Muyu is smart, he will naturally avoid me, and if he is met by me, Ding Shuai will wait for the last general to come back with Lin Muyu's head to receive the reward..."
A hint of chill flashed in Ding Xi's eyes, and he said, "General Xiong, don't underestimate the enemy..."
"Don't worry, Ding Shuai just needs to rest assured. ”
"Well, come on, open the gate, and let General Xiong's men out. ”
