At dusk, in the blood-like oblique glow of the sunset, the east gate of Crowe City, which had been closed for half a month, slowly opened, and in a long hissing sound, nearly 100 ghost cavalry and Xiusi and others rode out under the leadership of Ling Hujue, and galloped towards the official road in front of the right. The full-text and ad-free novels are all on the Aishang Novel Network biquge.info he is dressed in black, holding the reins of the horse with both hands, a pair of sharp eyes, cold and alert to search around, in the evening breeze, gold dances, endless wild arrogance.

The afterglow of the sunset is even more bleak, sprinkled with the shadow of the galloping horse, the twilight fog is everywhere, and the fog is scattered, with an indescribable desolation. Linghu Jue lay silently on the back of the flames, and between his eyebrows, it seemed to blend the depression and indifference of twilight.

Blazing Flame is worthy of being a holy beast, even if it is galloping, it is extremely smooth, not to mention that it is still trotting, but the Linghu on its back cannot be calm, the Winged Angel, the Kotru Empire, the Red Moon City, this one by one The problems he has to face make his mind fall into a dilemma, he thought in confusion, "The Kotru Empire must have other plans, but apart from Crow City, what else do they have at present?"

"Or maybe they didn't want to take Crowe at all, they just wanted to fortify the fortress and the surrounding small cities. Ling Hu Jue used his keen wisdom to try to analyze it from another angle, but immediately denied himself, "This is impossible, the fortress is half a month away from the nearest city of the Kotru Empire, and the food and logistics can't keep up at all, and the generals of Kotru will not be stupid to dream that they can still hold the fortress after the reinforcements arrive." ”

At this moment, he deeply realized how difficult it is to become a generation of famous generals, in addition to the martial arts group, with leadership skills, and personal charm, more importantly, there is the wisdom of decisive battles and strategizing. Thinking of this, Ling Hu Jue not only admired General Stuart, "What kind of person will he be?" Ling Hu Jue described in his heart, suddenly, a flash of inspiration, a very bold assumption poured into his mind because of the name Stuart, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a surprised smile, " Probably, the last war allowed General Stuart to be transferred away from the eastern defense line, and let the Liulai Empire see the dawn of the attack, so they secretly formed an alliance with the Kotru Empire, and the Kotru Empire attracted the main forces of the empire, preferably General Stuart, and when the opportunity was ripe, the Liulai Empire took advantage of the weakness and attacked the imperial capital. ”

Ling Hu Jue was completely attracted by his own hypothesis, his thoughts were like a river dam with a missing mouth, the light of wisdom illuminated the maze, and every question became clear, "General Aisen is not a person from the Kotru Empire at all, he should be a pawn pressed by the Liulai Empire, and it is also the basis for the Kotru Empire to be willing to be the first bird." ”

Thinking about this, the heart of the fox was even heavier, originally he thought that the center of gravity of the Kotru Empire's attack would still be Crow City, and he would not invest too many troops in Red Moon City, but now it seems that in order to attract the Empire's troops, the Kotru Empire will not capture Crow City at all, but will capture all the small and medium-sized cities on the Pami Plain, invisibly putting pressure on the Empire.

"A poisonous strategy. Ling Hu Jue's whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted, but now he had no choice but to make up his mind to save Red Moon City first. He patted the flame lightly, and with a high-pitched neigh, the holy beast had let go of its four hooves and flown away like a splash of wind, and in an instant, it had distanced itself from the horse team behind it――――――

Seeing the scorching flames, Tusu and the others who followed closely behind him also shook their spirits and rode their horses and whipped. For a while, the sound of hooves was like a rain and thunder, and it sounded from a close distance, and it was already like a wisp of black smoke, rapidly moving to the end of the official road. From a distance, a riding shadow was cast into the thick thick ink.

At this time, the cavalry team led by Xia Xia also pushed towards Red Moon City with difficulty in the twilight. The sky is pitch black, the wind blows the treetops and grass, and the "pop" and "puff" sound are constantly coming out, and the mud swamp with different depths under the feet is "poof" and "poof" because of the pressure of human feet and horses' hooves.

All of them groped their way in the darkness silently, their steps very slow and very careful, almost walking and probing, stopping and stopping at a time, especially the horses they were leading, and trying to follow the low-hanging trees around them, or rub the grassy tops.

The night is dark, there are no stars and moons, like a black line in the sea of grass winding in the ranks have lit up one after another, the jumping flames with that suffocating sense of the village, the night to the sea of grass brought to the hideous shroud in hazy blur......

Sia, who was walking at the back of the line, walked forward with one foot high and one foot low. Now, he didn't want anything else, he just hoped that the road ahead would be easier to walk than it was now, that he could ride a horse, and that he could rush to Red Moon City as much as he could. In silence, Sia took a deep breath and asked a figure walking behind him, "Uxiu, how far have we come today?"

Wu Xiu cautiously explored the path and said in a low voice: "Probably less than 1o miles." ”

Although he also knew it in his heart, Xia Xia couldn't help but sigh, "Why is it so much." ”

A comforting smile - that smile was more ugly than crying, Wu Xiu complained, "Yes, I don't know how to mark that map, it is clear that the span of the swamp is less than 1o miles, but now we have walked almost 2o miles, and we haven't walked out yet, really." ”

The corners of Xia Xia's mouth twitched, full of bitterness, "Heh, I was negligent, that map was drawn 1o years ago, and in the past 1o years, the span of the swamp should have increased a lot." ”

Although Xia said this, Wu Xiu's heart was still full of hatred for the map hanging in the conference room, "When you go back, Lao Tzu will definitely burn you." ”

Licking his lips, Xia looked at the sky and said to Wu Xiu, "It's not too early, you give the order to go down and rest in place." ”

Usho nodded, and gestured to a cavalryman not far behind him, and a loud trumpet sounded like an electric fire flashing in the hazy sky, piercing through the thick solemnity and floating in the dark wilderness.

At this time, at the gate of Red Moon City, there were still people boiling, the lights were as bright as day, and countless civilians poured out from the rough and wide wooden houses built along the city, rushing towards Red Moon City, of course, some civilians took advantage of the night to leave Red Moon City. All around, the soldiers of the Falcon Division were scattered far and near, and although the enemy was still a hundred miles away, they did not dare to take it lightly, and they were heavily guarded one by one, as if they were facing a great enemy. looks like a storm is coming, revealing a special sense of tension in the silence.

At the head of the tall Red Moon City, the two of them, dressed in armor, stood side by side, and behind them, there was a military flag as high as five zhang, hunting and fluttering in the deep night, and the huge falcon rusting on the flag was full of fierce and rough charm.

Xisu stood quietly, and there was a high ridge dozens of miles away in the distance, with overgrown trees and wild grasses, like a natural embankment. Looking from afar, Xisu pointed to the road to the ridge, "That's the Pack Bird Ridge, the only way from Duolun City to Red Moon City, the mountain road is crooked, the army is difficult to walk, and it is very suitable for ambushes." ”

After a deep sigh, he said, "The terrain of Pack Bird Ridge is steep, and the enemy army will definitely take precautions in advance, if you fight there, I'm afraid the effect will not be too ideal." ”

"You're right, the enemy must be extra careful when crossing the Packbird Ridge, so I didn't intend to engage them there from the beginning. Xisu smiled and moved his finger to the hill on the two sides of the Packbird Ridge, which was shaped like a dragon's back, "It is a giant camel hill, although the terrain is gentle and the mountain road is wide, if I hide the entire falcon division in the nearest hidden place at the foot of the mountain in front, and take advantage of the temporary relaxation of the enemy army after crossing the ridge, and attack it in groups, then the lethality to the enemy will be immeasurable." ”

Ta Na was known as the ghost fox, of course he understood the mystery of Xisu's arrangement, and nodded, but he was still slightly worried, "The number of the enemy's three divisions plus logistics engineers has exceeded 30,000, unless it is defeated in one fell swoop, if it counterattacks, then the consequences will be unpredictable." ”

Xi Su let out a long breath, and his eyes became deep and unpredictable, "Red Moon City is only ten miles away from the giant camel hill, and the five thousand falcon cavalry will arrive in a moment, and at that time, even if the enemy army counterattacks, they will be looking for death." ”

Da Na stared at Xisu, his face was as solemn as iron, "This battle is a big deal, Xisu, I'm sorry for you." Looking up to the sky, a fog-like emptiness and misty thin mist rose in Xisu's deep eyes, and he sighed, "Fighting is a gamble, and for hunters, there is always only one chip, and that is life. Don't worry, I'll live until the boss returns. ”

"Captain Linghu. As he thought about it, his face and eyes softened, and he quietly recalled every past event since he followed Linghu Jue, and he actually sighed with infinite emotion, "Yes, why do you never worry about failure when you are only with Linghu Leader?"

As if looking at Xisu's face, there was the same look, that is, feeling and expectation--the two of them looked at each other and smiled in resonance, and there was the same longing in that smile.

"Ahh "Captain Linghu. ”

But before the smiles on their faces could dissipate, a rocket flew up from the top of the Pack Bird Ridge with a long glow, screaming through the night sky, and Xisu, who had just turned sideways, had a shining gaze and exclaimed, "Not good." ”

Seeing Ta Na's confused expression, Xisu licked his lips and explained urgently, "This is a signal for the invasion of the enemy, quickly." With that, he shouted to the soldiers standing behind them, "There is a situation. With his shout, the magic alarm bell "bell" sounded, and the entire Red Moon City Tower was immediately shrouded in a tense atmosphere, fortunately, there were not many people at the city gate now, and after a short panic, the city gate was closed. Thousands of falcon soldiers appeared from the barracks under the city tower, and as soon as they appeared, they rushed up to the city tower in dense clusters, or because they had just woken up, they were a little panicked.

At this time, the bow and arrow brigade led by Denor also rushed over, and they ran very quickly, and there was no noise, except for the landing of the footsteps and the original sound of the clothes, and hardly one of them spoke, and the three thousand archers were scattered into a large area, and they poured up the arrows of the castle tower like a tide, drew their bows on their backs, and copied their arrows sideways, and formed a line at three points in the sharp cold of a pair of eyes.

Ta Na looked at a dark shadow that had already jumped over with some excitement, and said loudly, "Nuo, good fellow, you guys are coming so fast." ”

A cruel smile appeared on Cunno's handsome face, he took a few leaps and walked to the side of Xisu and Ta Na, and said hurriedly, "Deputy Division Commander, now is the most suitable time for archers to practice night eyes, so my soldiers have not rested yet, so they came quickly." After speaking, he turned his face sideways and said to Xisu, "Xisu, what is going on, how did the enemy come so quickly?" I don't know, but there should be news soon. As soon as Xisu's words fell, the sound of iron hooves had already come from a distance from the direction of Packbird Ridge, the sound of hooves was very urgent, but not heavy, it can be inferred that there were not many people, it should be the sentinels sent by Xisu.

On the city tower, the faces of the rough mine but the cold plate have been prepared, silently waiting for an upcoming battle.

But is this going to be a fight?
