Along the way, the Huyan army marched mightily, and the closer it got to the border city boundary, you could see many fleeing people in ragged clothes, or with wives and children, or pushing small cars full of luggage.

These people were tired and scrawny, as if they had just escaped a catastrophe.

When Huyan Liexiong saw these fleeing people on the horse, he stroked his beard and sighed, feeling pity.

He carefully observed the fleeing crowd and was surprised to find that there seemed to be a lot of deserters disguised as civilians.

Could it be the stragglers who escaped from the ranks of the army of the Capricorn country that were routed on the front line?

General Huyan was puzzled, so he called the adjutant general aside and instructed him to find someone to catch these young men who were suspected of deserting and interrogate them.

The adjutant general received the order and immediately called a few heavily armed soldiers to stop the deserters one by one and bring them to the middle of the ranks.

Near noon, the army stopped to bury the pot and make rice.

A short time later, the adjutant general brought a short deserter to General Huyan's tent.

The deserter was dressed in tattered civilian clothes, but a glance at his figure knew that he was a man in the ranks.

As soon as the man saw General Huyan staring at him with anger on his face, he knelt down on his knees and shouted: "The general spares his life, and the villain is also forced to do so!

The adjutant general walked straight to General Huyan and whispered: "This person is a deserter, named Wei Youcai, who was defeated on the front line earlier, was killed by the Gatnu army, and unfortunately escaped by being captured. He had seen Gartnu's tactics with his own eyes, and had heard some information from Gartnu's army, so the general might as well interrogate him carefully. ”

General Huyan nodded, glanced at Ruiqi who was standing beside him, and then turned his gaze to Wei Youcai: "Wei Youcai, you get up, I will spare your life, make up for your mistakes, and tell me in detail what you have seen and heard." ”

When Wei Youcai saw General Huyan claiming not to kill him for the time being, he was overjoyed in his heart, and he knelt down and kowtowed in fear: "General Xie is not killing, the villain will definitely tell you in detail what he saw." ”

General Huyan said loudly: "Okay, you can come and come with us one by one." ”

Wei Youcai knelt on his knees, crawled to General Huyan and Ruiqi, kowtowed first, and then told him all the strange things he had encountered on the battlefield.

It turned out that Wei Youcai was the defender of the border city boundary, and the Gartnu army killed all the way, and the defenders opened the city to meet the enemy in order to protect the people.

I didn't want to go down a few rounds, although I was not immediately defeated by Gartnu, I also resisted for a while, blocking Gartnu's army within a radius of five miles.

But one night, when the moon was high and the camp of the Gartnu army was silent, the guards let their guard down thinking that the other side would not attack.

But in the middle of the night, there was a strange sound in the direction of the Gartnut camp, and the bright moon in the sky turned a blood-red color, and the night instantly dimmed.

The defenders' positions were in a panic, and they were frightened by the strange sound of waves not far away, so the defenders called for the drums of war to be beaten, and the soldiers were gathered to prepare for battle.

But with the chaotic sound of sneering footsteps, a large number of blackened skeleton soldiers poured towards the position like a tide.

One by one, the skeletons swooped down on the defenders' camp in tattered armor and sharp scimitars in their hands.

Before the defenders could react, they were killed by the swarming skeleton soldiers and lost their armor.

The defenders hurriedly blew their horns, gathered the scattered ranks, and the soldiers mounted their horses and rushed towards the skeletons.

Those skeleton soldiers only cared about rushing and fighting, and did not care about the soldiers around them.

Some of the soldiers were slashed and bruised by the skeletons, but the defenders were very brave, and many of them picked up sledgehammers and smashed the skeletons who rushed at them desperately.

The smashed skeleton immediately fell to the ground and turned into a pile of ashes, and every now and then a little spark drifted into the air.

Soon the defenders stabilized their camp, but something even more terrible happened, and a large dark cloud drifted in, and from time to time there were terrifying roars in the clouds.

After a while, the dark clouds approached the position, and the soldiers fixed their eyes and saw that it was a bird-like flying dragon with wings.

Those terrifying wyverns swooped down, spitting out clouds of smoke from their mouths, and the blazing flames instantly set the camp ablaze.

Some soldiers had flames on their bodies and fell to the ground wailing.

The position was in disarray, and the defenders were dashed by the oncoming enemy.

In this way, Wei Youcai was captured by the army of Gartnu in the war.

In the prisoner camp of Gartnu, Wei Youcai heard a veteran who had been captured for a long time say that every full moon night, General Gartnut would stop the pace of the army and shut up, just stay alone in the tent and no one would be seen.

And strangely enough, the hoarse and painful wails of General Gartnut could be heard at midnight.

It was not until the next day, when it was nearly noon, that General Gartnut could be seen walking out of the camp with a tired face, as if he had experienced a painful struggle the previous night.

And every time he attacked his opponent in the middle of the night, General Gartnu would hold a spear under heavy protection and call out loudly: "Canon, give me infinite divine power!"

Then a terrifying spirit descended from the clouds onto the position, chanting a spell to summon hordes of skeletons from the ground and rush towards the enemy camp.

Immediately afterward, the evil spirits will summon fire-breathing dragons from the sky, burning the enemy camp to the ground.

Every time the Gartnu army encountered resistance, Gartnu would call the evil spirits to fight, so there were few enemies that could not be defeated.

But on the night of the full moon, few people know the inside story of Gartnu, but it is also a well-known secret in the army.

The deserter Wei Youcai confessed everything he knew, and General Huyan and Ruiqi were overjoyed: "It seems that Gartnu's weakness is on this full moon night, what it is and what secrets it hides, we will know in the near future." Maybe if you want to defeat Gartnu, you have to make good use of this full moon night, and only on such a night will Gartnu stop attacking, maybe he has something unspeakable, it seems that this is a rare opportunity. ”

However, from Wei Youcai's description, Huyan and his son also knew the horror of the Gartnu army.

Blessed with evil spirits, they can summon skeletons and fire-breathing dragons, which are no easy opponents for mortals to defeat.

How to deal with these terrible things, Huyan father and son were worried.

The deputy general took Wei Youcai down, and Huyan and his son closed the camp tent and sat in front of the desk to meditate.

After a long time, Ruiqi suddenly remembered Wei Youcai's description, so he had a plan: "Father, we might as well build more trebuchets and crossbows, which can be used to deal with skeleton soldiers and fire-breathing dragons." ”
