Chapter 534: The Hideous Dragon Banner
The sky was shining.
In the darkest hour before dawn, the military camp stationed in the south of Yelan City sounded the sound of horns, and in the camp with almost no fences, there were simple tents.
They were all scavenged from the slaughtered cities in the middle of the Western Regions, and when the morning light gradually rose, burly and stout figures came out from far and near, drinking wine, barbecuing meat, and sitting around the fire to communicate with Western words recklessly.
The largest tent in the center had a flagpole erected, and a broken double-axe flag swayed in the wind and sand.
In the tent, a stout and sturdy figure with a strong upper body, bare and strong, trampled a woman covered in tooth marks and bruises to death with bare feet.
Then, he took a knife, put a piece of bloody raw meat in the plate next to him, and put it in his mouth, chewing it, while sitting on a chair, looking at the sky outside.
Soon, a soldier with a disheveled hair and a face covered in war paints strode over and told the news that the army had had eaten breakfast and began to assemble.
"Patriarch, thirty-eight thousand six hundred and seventy-two people are ready." The barbarian soldier's voice was loud.
Sabo retracted his gaze and nodded, then got up, carrying a blade full of blood, walked outside, came to the front of the gathered crowd, turned over his horse, and looked at the black and oppressive clansmen, his rough face showed a hideous smile: "Last night, I had a sweet dream that the Jinsa tribe would take root here, establish merit here, and welcome the arrival of the supreme emperor here!" He has given us this place, and everything here will be our pasture, and the people and animals here will be our food! β
"Hahahaha!" Countless savage figures raised the weapons in their hands and laughed wildly.
"Now, the city ahead has stopped us for a long time, and it's time to raze it to the ground!" Sabo grinned, showing bloodshot teeth, and smiled at them, "Before the Xia army comes, we must familiarize ourselves with the tactics and climate here, and then, attack their land!" β
He turned his head to look at Nudan, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and a few generals of the Ugoli and Jukan Kingdoms.
"If you don't want to be food, you have to satisfy the iron appetite of my warriors."
Immediately, Sapo stretched out his arm, and the butcher's knife was raised, "Jinsa-"
"βGlory!"
The dense Jinsa barbarians, holding their weapons high, roared hysterically, and were murderous for a while.
Soon the banner of the double axe spread with the army.
β¦β¦
It was bright and the sun shone through the gaps in the curtains and onto the white wool carpet.
The sound of rustling footsteps echoed through the quiet dormitory, Itas slowly woke up from her tired sleep, comfort was fading from her body, and nervousness and irritability crept into her heart again, as uncomfortable as a swarm of ants gnawing on flesh and blood.
She went down to the ground with her bare ankles, called the maid outside, and asked about the situation outside while washing.
The maid hesitated: "This morning, the barbarians began to attack the city. β
"Why don't you wake me up! What about Bainani? β
Itas, who was combing his hair, stopped, broke the jade comb on the table, tied his hair back at will, took a knife full of Western Regions characteristics on the wall, turned around and walked out of the dormitory quickly, and the guards outside followed.
By the time Itas rode his horse and led the guards to the southern city wall, the fierce battle of the city wall had lasted for an hour.
"Call the sisters of the reserve camp and come up with me!"
Itas turned over and dismounted, accepted the help of the female soldiers to put on the armor in the same place, and sent the order to ride to the reserve camp.
Soon, more than 3,000 female soldiers with various injuries followed her towards the city wall, where people kept falling.
At the head of the city, arrows and stones came and went, pierced and hit the shield, and the slender body behind the shield also trembled, and some female soldiers consciously rushed up to fill the vacancy, shouting: "Push-"
More than a dozen crisp voices roared and shouted, and one by one the female soldiers formed a gun formation, pushing the barbarians who climbed the city wall down, and some ferocious barbarians stretched out their hands to grab the spear in the hand of one of the female soldiers, and in an instant, pulled the other party down the city wall together.
The moment she fell into the crowd, the female soldier was not dead, and then she was torn by the barbarians below like an ant colony, and pounced under the city wall.
Bai Nani heard the terrible screams below, she looked at it, gritted her teeth, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling.
Around, there were still many female soldiers rushing past her sight or beside her, although they were women, but at this moment, they were tougher than any man.
Then, resolutely pounced on the barbarians who rushed to the head of the city.
In the midst of the battle, Bai Nani wielded a blade, slashed the arm stretched out by a barbarian, watched the opponent's arm being cut off, and continued to attack ferociously, and after killing two female soldiers, he was nailed to the ground by the spear that was stabbed.
"These barbarians ......"
Fine beads of sweat were densely covered on her face, Bai Nani gasped for breath, what is the use of being strong in martial arts, it is just a few enemies to kill at most here.
At this time, someone came over and brought the smell of blood, she glanced back, and exclaimed excitedly: "What are you doing here?!" β
At the entrance of the stone steps, there was a crowd of people, and Itas did not answer Bainani's words, and rushed to the nearest barbarian climbing point with more than 3,000 female soldiers who had come up.
"If the city is broken, it is also death, it is better to die in battle, and there is no need to be humiliated!"
Blades dotted with many gems, slashing among the five barbarians, Itas's voice shouted in a high-pitched voice:
"Sisters of Yelan Kingdom, it is better to die in battle than to be treated as food and let them be insulted. Yelan Kingdom and even you, will definitely leave a mark in the history books in the future, all with me, kill! β
With the severed palms and blood on the beautiful face, Itas led his soldiers with his sword in both hands and rushed towards the four barbarians opposite.
"Itas!" Bai Nani pushed away a pro-soldier in front of her and rushed over there, and the surrounding Yelan female soldiers didn't know if they were excited by the queen's own actions and shouted hysterically.
One by one, the boots stepped through the viscous blood, and the swords and spears struck together with the barbarians, or the soldiers of the kingdoms of Ugoli and Jukan.
"Bring Queen Itas back!"
Bainani swung her long knife, smashed open a blade that Ugo had slashed at the soldier, stepped forward, turned around, and stabbed into the opponent's eyes, twisted, and pulled, and suddenly a splash of flesh and blood.
And Itas, on the other side, led the elite palace guards, constantly pushing the barbarians or Ugoli soldiers of this defense point down the city.
Occasionally, arrows flew up from below, and the female guard with a shield on the side flashed forward and used a luxurious shield carved with gold patterns to block the stray arrows.
"Divide a team of people, go to the next defense point first, and then I will bring people to kill!" Itas kicked the Jukan soldier on the opposite side away, pulled out the golden pattern knife, and at the moment of breathing, a female guard on the left suddenly screamed miserably, and at the same time that the arm carrying the shield lifted into the sky, the barbarian with a heavy sword rushed straight forward.
The other three female guards who reacted around rushed forward, and the other party's arms were raised, and the almost one-man tall heavy sword brought a whistling sound.
With a bang, he directly slashed out another female guard who came forward against the shield, and the heavy sword that smashed down slashed left and right to slash the sword that swept Qi Qi away.
"Ahhh
Between the moving figures, Bainani rushed horizontally, her body passed through the gap, and with a heavy step, she flew towards Itas.
Over there, the barbarian who came from the impact, the heavy sword in his hand swung at Itas who raised the knife to block, and the next moment, the figure that flew in and swung the knife with the sound of breaking the wind, and the body of the barbarian who came from the impact flew out on the side, and the head was lifted into the air with a hideous expression.
"Bainaniβ"
It was almost a dangerous scene, which made Itas finally come back to his senses, however, at this moment, on the two sides of the city, there were constantly huge ridges and Ugo leaving people to pave the way, and more and more Jinsa barbarians came up.
Bai Nani dragged the knife, pulled Itas behind her, and looked around, the female soldiers of Yelan Kingdom on the city wall section had become a peep, and on the crowded city wall, the female soldiers who were not as strong as men did not, and they were constantly falling.
She wanted to come to the rescue and save the situation, but more barbarians climbed the walls and rushed towards her, protecting Queen Itas and a group of her own soldiers in the crowd.
At this time, Itas's eyes were bloody, her teeth were clenched, and she felt regret in her heart, she thought that she would be able to resolve the crisis by rushing up with reinforcements and boosting morale.
Obviously, his previous practice was used by the other party in turn and became a burden to the city guards.
"Ahhh
The emotions of unwillingness and remorse in her heart surged up, and she fiercely smashed over a Jukan soldier who wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack, and then shouted heartbreakingly: "Tonight, the Lan Kingdom is destroyed, and our heroic souls are still under the snowy mountain!" β
It's almost a desperate situation.
But Bainani still struggled to escort Itas to the inner staircase behind the tower.
β¦β¦
"These women, that's good!"
In the morning light, listening to the killing and shouting from the city wall, Sabo, who was riding a brown war horse, looked at a Yelan female soldier who fell off the city wall, and was tortured by his clansmen in turn.
But he is still tenacious, and he is interested in such a woman.
"A strong woman and a strong man can produce stronger offspring." Sabo smiled with satisfaction, "Tell the clansmen who are killing that after they break the city, try not to kill and eat all the women in the city, and keep more, so that they can reproduce here in the future." As for their men......",
He turned around, glanced at Nudan who was standing among the barbarian riders, and said softly: "Kill them all, and not a single man from this land will be left!" β
He threw the token of the order from his waist and was caught by the barbarian who gave the order.
"Also, tell the warriors in front of me that when the sun rises in the middle, I will enter the city!"
After saying this, Sapo took off the fur shawl that was draped over his shoulders and threw it on the ground, "It's so hot......
As he whispered, he vaguely saw a small black dot soaring in the sky.
On the far side of the wall, blood spilled over the battlements, staining the outer wall with a blinding red. γ
The terrible fighting and screams of pain stimulated the hearing, and Bai Nani's face was covered in blood, both from the female soldiers under his command and from the enemy.
She gritted her teeth and struggled to move Itas against the wall, who was also in a mess, and the armor that had been noble was now dripping from the armor with blood dripping from the armor.
The sword-wielding arms grew slower.
Bai Nani's blade slowed down, and there were fewer and fewer soldiers around her, covered in blood, her chest was pierced through her armor, and blood was flowing.
The soldiers of Ugoli and Jukan were still pouring up, and the barbarians mixed in with them were wielding their weapons unscrupulously, and blood was splashed everywhere.
The morning light in sight was the color of blood.
ββ¦β¦ Yelan Country, it won't fall! Banani held the queen behind her with her blade, and shouted with the few hundred remaining soldiers around her.
Time seemed to slow down, and the battle seemed to be finally coming to an end.
However, at this moment, there was a sudden high-pitched eagle chirping in the sky.
Sabo, in the barbarian army outside the city, raised his head; Nudan, who was counter-controlled, and the generals of the two countries also raised their heads; Bainani and Itas on the city wall also raised their eyes.
"Phew-"
The desolate and loud chirping of the eagle, coming down from the sky, echoed in the ears of the people.
Bai Nani's gaze moved downward, looking from the city wall to the yellow Gobi in the distance outside the city, behind the black and oppressive barbarian army, there was smoke and dust rising into the sky.
Is that...... Cavalry...... Whoever comes this way must be ......
Bai Nani muttered words, and finally a smile finally appeared on her face, and her voice sounded: "Sister of Yelan Kingdom, reinforcements from the Emperor of Xia Kingdom are here!" β
On the city wall, the morale of the female soldiers who had been suppressed suddenly boosted.
Sabo, who was in the middle of the formation, his face twitched, he turned on his horseback and squinted his eyes towards the rear, and a moment later, a force of five hundred brute horsemen separated from the left flank of the array.
β¦β¦
The white clouds are like flocculent, the morning light passes through the clouds, the Gobi is filled with yellow sand below, and the rumbling sound of horses' hooves comes from the southeast.
Stomp Tread Stomp ......
Bang!
Countless iron hooves trampled over the gravel-covered earth, crushing stones under the horses' hooves, or shooting them out.
One, two, ten, hundred...... Two thousand cavalry galloped with a figure of dozens of cavalry guards in front of them.
The leader rode a white robe and silver armor, carried a black spear, and under the stroking helmet, his face calmly stared at the increasingly clear barbarian array.
Facing him, a barbarian army of hundreds of people rode tall war horses, brandished weapons, and let out savage shouts, and killed them head-on.
The leader of the barbarians seemed to be quite excited, turned out the short spear bound behind his back, drew one and held it in his hand, and as the distance between the two sides approached, he aimed at the eastern general on the opposite side riding a white horse and wearing silver armor.
Especially the armor on the other party's body, he liked it so much that before he threw the short spear, he used the words of the clan in the team to say the words of "I want this armor".
Then, throw a short spear with a sharp slam.
The original picture of shooting the other party did not appear, so that the Dongfang general on the opposite side dodged, which made him very unhappy.
Grabbing a double-edged axe hanging from the horse's neck, he let out a 'whoa' cry.
Ahead, smoke and dust swept away, and a white-robed figure roared.
"Barbarian!"
The majestic voice swept through the sky, and the horse's hooves turned over the crumbs, and the white horse galloped like lightning in a blink of an eye, and the eyes of the excited axe-wielding brute rider were greeted by an angry eastern face.
Under the light of the day, a man and a horse, a dull spear, suddenly glowed with a silvery-white luster.
The brute leader met him and slashed at him with his double-edged axe.
The tip of the spear pressed against the falling axe, and at the same time as it shattered, the head of the spear with a silvery white cold glow launched a roaring sound, and the terrifying force pierced directly into the open leather jacket of the barbarian cavalry leader, against the thick chest of the opponent.
Burst!
The spear head penetrated the chest, and the moment the two horses staggered, a huge thrust directly pushed the brute horse off the back of the galloping warhorse.
Around, the Kinsa rode in terror, and the white horse spread from the earth, setting off thunder.
Bows were raised on horseback, like a tide, and arrows flew into the sky like locusts, covering them with black pressure.
The hideous dragon flag, erected behind the cavalry, showed its hideousness in the wind.
