The early morning on the summer prairie is still a little chilly.

The group of rangers woke up before dawn and warmed up with the bread they had brought with them and drank wine.

I don't know if it's because the artists are bold, or the northern warriors who serve in the army have always been heroic, or if they are sure that there are no Saibei people here, after a few sips of wine, some people actually sang loudly.

The sound echoed across the early morning prairie.

Not far away is the corpse of Ye Yougong, the evil qi and blood on his body have not yet dissipated, and it is said that even the wolves on the grassland do not eat this thing.

After a while, the rangers had already cleaned up, and also carried the bodies of the brothers who died in the battle on horseback and tied them up, and then they came to say goodbye to Song You with a fist: "If Mr. doesn't go to the Night City, then a few of our brothers will say goodbye to Mr. here. ”

"From this to the east of six hundred miles, is the Yuanzhi City, Mr. last night asked the Liaoxinguan and Yuanzhi City is not far away, showing the trend of corners, if Mr. wants to go, after the Yuanzhi City and then to the east is dozens of miles."

"If you go here, as long as you don't continue to the north, it will be our territory, and you shouldn't run into a large army of Saibei, at most you will encounter a small group of rangers. Mr. can be valued by General Chen, and he is also a capable Xuanmen master, so I won't worry about it, I just hope that Mr. will take care of himself and have a smooth journey. ”

"I'll say goodbye!"

Song You also said to them:

"Slow down, everyone."

The people got on their horses and said goodbye to him.

Finally, the corpse of the comrade, who also appeared to be a young man, was tied horizontally to the horse, and swayed as the horse trotted.

Song You retracted his gaze and looked at the fire in front of him.

"Hoo ......"

Blow on it and the fire ignites.

“！”

The three-flowered cat beside him also looked at that side and heard the movement, but he turned his head in an instant and stared at him.

“……”

Song You was helpless, so he had to wave his hand again.

Silently, the fire was extinguished.

The three-flowered cat's eyes flickered a few times before she withdrew her gaze and blew on the fire.

"Canopy ......"

The flames were rekindled.

One person and one cat ate against the fire boiling water, and after eating, they also packed up their things and continued their journey.

The topography changes slowly underfoot.

There is also some rise and fall in elevation.

Originally, the meadow was endless, the slopes were very gentle, there were few trees, and even if there were, most of them were shrubs, but slowly the mountains on the grassland became larger, and occasionally there were towering rocky mountains that exposed the soil, like boulders emerging from the earth, and the trees became more numerous, transitioning from pure meadows to forest steppes.

The crowds have also increased.

Song You not only met the pink-faced woman and horse thief in the mouth of the wanderer surnamed Feng, but also met the team escorting military supplies, and even saw a caravan heading north.

He was stopped by the rangers and questioned at the gate.

A few days later.

When the Taoist stepped on a hill with the three-flower cat and the jujube red horse, he had already seen Yuanzhi City.

There are five towns in the north of the town, and Yuanzhi City is the first important town.

It was here that the main force of the Zhenbei Army was stationed and confronted the Saibei people.

At this time, there was a battle below, and the shouts of killing shook the sky.

Song You raised his eyes and looked into the distance——

There is a huge city on the earth, also made of loess, which looks similar to Yuan'an City, but it is much larger than Yuan'an City, the city wall is as high as a cliff, the wall is full of soldiers, and arrows are pouring down like rain. And to the north of the city, in the distance is an endless tent, and near are the people all over the mountains, with siege equipment, are attacking the city wall.

The shouts of killing can be heard even on this side of the mountain.

Song You gathered his eyes and looked at it.

In front of the besieging army, there was a bear demon.

The bear demon showed its original form, the person stood up, as high as more than a zhang, the appearance is neither like a black bear nor a brown bear, the earthy yellow fur, the head is like a horse, it seems to be a unique bear species in this grassland. The bear demon slammed into the gate of Yuanzhi City for a while, and then jumped at the city wall, climbing on the loess city wall with its sharp claws, as if trying to climb up.

The army on the city wall is well-trained, tacitly coordinated, and attacked and defended properly, and I don't know how many strong bows and crossbows are shooting at it, but most of them are not very useful, only the foot crossbows can cause some damage.

To really hurt it, you have to wait until it comes into range of the huge bed crossbow on the enemy platform.

Let this thing become a refinement, as long as it is still made of meat, no matter how rough the skin and thick flesh are, facing the bed crossbow that can be nailed into even the city wall, but it has to be shot and screamed.

Often halfway through climbing, they are shot down.

Or it is about to climb up, and there are fierce generals with excellent martial arts waiting for it, cooperating with shield soldiers and spearmen, defending it, and knocking it back.

The sound of fighting and roaring echoed between heaven and earth.

From a distance, it looks like a war between mortals and demons.

Song You watched calmly, squinting his eyes.

"Sure enough......"

Demons and gods have not been involved in human wars for many years.

This kind of scene is thought to have been more common in ancient times.

At that time, there was chaos, there were many humane monks, and there were many demons, and they often participated in power struggles and national wars in the world, causing chaos in the world, and the world was like hell.

History is a process of orderly development.

It's been a long time since there's been anything like this.

There are many reasons for this –

On the one hand, there are fewer and fewer demons.

Troubled times give birth to demons, now Dayan is peaceful, people in the south and even a lot of young people, have not seen monsters, occasionally night road ghosts, all feel amazing, where there are monsters to make trouble, it is possible to become a legend for many years, a lot of terrifying ghost stories, should still be handed down in the last years of the previous dynasty and the beginning of this dynasty.

If there are fewer demons, this kind of thing will naturally not occur.

On the one hand, the positions of demons and people are naturally different, and the positions of countries are even more different than those of countries, and generally speaking, there are very few cases of large-scale help for human kingdoms to fight.

If the scale is not large, except for a few big demons, most of the monsters actually don't have much resistance in the face of the elite soldiers in the formation, and there are many monsters who are mixed in the human city but are afraid of being hunted by officials.

On the one hand, it is now a humane world, and the order is different.

“……”

However, now Song You has seen it with his own eyes.

The strife in the world is hard to stop, but the affairs of the world are the affairs of the world, how can the demons and gods be allowed to participate?

"Alas......"

Song You sighed and raised his hand.

There was a streamer in his hand.

I saw him wave his hand, and the streamer flew forward, like a meteor, and in an instant it crossed the sky and fell to the city.

"Boom ......"

The earth trembled.

There are quite a few stones on the ground.

Some of them are already on the grassland, exposed to the ground or embedded in the ground, and some are cast by both sides, scattered everywhere, but at this time, they all roll up as if they have life, and if they are embedded in the ground, they also break out of the ground, with grass and soil, and gather in one place.

In the blink of an eye, there was a stone giant on the ground that was two or three feet high.

Rao is that the city wall is like a cliff, and this stone giant is nearly half as high as the city wall.

"What's that?"

The defenders on the walls were all shocked.

But soon they found that the Saibei people who were besieging the city below were also a little panicked, staring at this tall stone giant with great oppressive power like a mountain god.

It seems that they have not seen it either.

Not only were the Saibei people panicked, but they were climbing on the city wall, and in a panic, they caught a few more defenders and went down, and they also turned their heads and stared at the stone giants in a daze.

"Boom ......"

I saw that the stone giant did not hesitate, took a step, shook his big arms, and rushed towards the city wall.

Because of its huge size, the giant didn't look fast, but in fact, every step was very far, and with the gradual acceleration, the steps became faster and faster, and every step on the ground rumbled, and the earth trembled for it, and the grassland left a deep pit. The sound of such movement and noise was connected, and the mountain really shook, carrying the momentum of a landslide, and went straight to the city wall.

Seeing this, the Saibei people were immediately excited and let out bursts of roars.

The defenders on the walls were nervous.

"Shoot the arrows!"

A large number of powerful crossbows fired a salvo at the stone giant, but there was only a loud sound, and all of them were bounced away.

Only occasionally hit the gap between the stones that the arrows could temporarily get stuck on them, but they did no damage to Golem, and many of them fell as Golem ran and walked. Or shoot a place with dirt and grass to knock something off the golem.

Even a bed crossbow is just a cut of it nailed into.

The stone giant is lifeless and naturally unaffected.

When the soldiers on the city wall saw this, they were even more shocked.

The waist circumference of this thing is about the same as the height, so huge, even if the city wall is more than four zhang high, and more than two zhang thick, it can be seen that its momentum is so great, everyone will inevitably have a feeling-

Even if it is such a city wall, I am afraid that it will have to knock out a gap!

For a while, no matter how the general shouted, trying to stabilize the army's heart, he saw the stone giant rushing towards him, and the soldiers on the city wall also ran away.

It's no wonder they're —

Not only them, but even the fierce and abnormal, with a bed crossbow arrow stuck in his body, as if he was fearless and ignorant of pain, saw the stone giant rushing towards him, and hurriedly gave way to the side.

Unexpectedly, it changed direction, and the stone giant also changed direction, and by the time the bear demon reacted and opened his eyes wide, he couldn't dodge.

"Boom!"

Golem knocked it to the ground.

Then he stopped and stopped running, but it was difficult to stop immediately, and he shoveled up several feet of dirt under the city for a while.

"Wow!"

With an almost double height advantage, the stone giant pressed the bear demon with one punch, making it unable to move, and then another punch, slamming it down.

I only heard a boom!

The earth trembled a little!

Blood splattered on the spot, the boulder shattered, the hot blood mixed with the broken stone and the bones on the bear demon's body, splashed everywhere, hitting the city wall was a gap, collapsing to all sides, and also caused the siege troops under the city wall to hug their heads to dodge.

By the time the stone giant stood up, the bear demon had fallen to the ground and was not moving, and the huge head was no longer visible, only a deep pit in the ground, and a pile of minced flesh and bones in the pit.

"Whoa......

The giant also disintegrated in an instant, scattering into a pile of rubble.

Seeing this scene, even the battlefield that was fighting fiercely seemed to be quiet.

When they reacted, the defenders on the city wall suddenly shouted loudly and attacked more violently, while the siege troops below opened their eyes wide, their hearts and galls were broken, and the siege was a little weaker.

Some of them climbed halfway down, too.

For a while, I don't know how many lives have turned into scorched earth.
