Chapter 156: The two armies confront

Seeing that the siege of the reinforcements was unfavorable, Gartnu began to retreat, and couldn't help but be proud: "It seems that although the military strength of the Central Plains is strong, it is not my Gartnu's opponent!"

Gartnu quickly recalled the besieging soldiers and began to assemble to attack the reinforcements on both flanks.

At this time, the reinforcements were a little unable to resist, and the attack of the skeleton soldiers and Charizard caught them off guard, followed by the Capricorn soldiers who were like jackals, tigers and leopards swarmed up, and the reinforcements suffered heavy losses and began to retreat.

The soldiers of Gartnu were advancing step by step, and the reinforcements were almost crushed.

An hour passed, the blood moon in the sky faded, and the moonlight instantly illuminated the earth, and the battlefield was strewn with corpses, and the two armies suffered countless casualties.

Seeing that he had the upper hand and that the Blood Moon had faded, the skeletons began to burrow into the ground, and Charizard began to fly away from the battlefield and pass away.

Gartnu Mingjin withdrew his troops and sorted out the ranks of countless dead and wounded.

Seeing that Gartnu III had retracted his offensive, the reinforcements were able to take a breather and retreat, and the two armies retreated five miles away, encamped and retreated.

Although Gartnu was surrounded on three sides, his army seemed to be on the offensive, and he dealt a hard blow to the opponent at the beginning, beating the Huyan army into confusion and even some fear.

The Huyan army was a little afraid of the evil spirit soldiers of Ghatnu, but they didn't expect him to summon such a terrifying evil spirit to attack them, almost killing them endlessly.

The senseless skeletons fought even more frantically, even in the face of merciless swords and guns, after all, they were not flesh and blood, and even if they were killed, they would only be reduced to a pile of ashes, and they continued to burrow out of the ground at the call of Canon.

Charizard is even more terrifying, the huge and strange Charizard seems to fly into the sky like a grim reaper, spewing out streams of fireworks, burning everything that can be burned, whether the other party is a house or a soldier, once stuck to the oncoming flames, it will burn itself beyond recognition, and turn into a pile of charcoal.

The next day, a confrontation began between General Huyan's army and the Capricorn soldiers of Gatnu, and they remained in retreat for several days.

General Huyan slowly figured out the routine of Gartnu to summon evil spirits, that is, once Gartnu summoned ghost soldiers and fire-breathing dragons, it was only in the darkness of the night that they could attack, even so, the attack of the evil spirit army could only last for an hour, and when the hour came, these monsters stopped fighting and began to retreat.

General Huyan knew in his heart, although he suffered a lot of losses in a few rounds, but at least he figured out Gartnu's routine, during the day, Gartnu could only rely on his Capricorn soldiers to fight, and only at night would he summon evil spirits to attack.

Although the soldiers of the Capricorn Kingdom are some ordinary people, although they are extremely strong, their combat effectiveness is still limited, as long as they resist stubbornly, the soldiers of the Capricorn Kingdom are helpless against the Huyan army.

Food in the city was getting scarce, and ordinary people had to rely on a bowl of rice soup handed out by the army.

Many old, weak, sick and disabled people died on the streets because they did not have enough food to fill their stomachs.

Every day, the defenders of the city had to collect the sick and starving victims in the streets and put them together in one place to landfill.

Otherwise, it would be a disaster for the city to spread disease.

General Huyan would climb to a high place every day and look into the distance, hoping that the capital would send troops to rescue him as soon as possible. Although reinforcements from both flanks had arrived and fought a battle with Gartnu, it was clear that they were no match for Gartnu and could only sit in the camp and watch the battle unfold.

However, the main city was surrounded by Capricorn soldiers, and the people in the city could not get out, and the supplies outside the city could not be transported in.

This made General Huyan and Ruiqi very busy, how to break through the siege and get food to be transported into the main city to alleviate the famine.

At this time, Gartnu's army had the upper hand, and they could go around collecting food, grass and supplies, and the Capricorn soldiers were everywhere, plundering the nearby villages and towns, and carrying everything they could eat to the camp and feasting on it.

After they had eaten and drunk, it was time for them to flex their muscles, and the Capricorn soldiers were ready to try.

When General Huyan and Ruiqi inspected the barracks, they looked at the hungry and thin soldiers with yellow faces and weak bodies, and felt extremely ashamed in their hearts.

The hunger and cold of the soldiers made General Huyan and Ruiqi beat their chests with anxiety and felt guilty.

So Huyan Ruiqi asked the soldiers to release the second batch of carrier pigeons, and quickly flew to the capital to carry rescue troops and supplies.

After a few white doves flew away, Riich's heart seemed to feel better, and he hoped that these pigeons would bring information for help, and quickly let the capital send troops to the main city to rescue the predicament.

They also didn't expect such an embarrassment, they didn't expect that the Capricorn would have such a terrible army, and even the people who attacked in the middle of the night were not ordinary humans, and if they wanted to win on the battlefield, there was almost no chance of winning.

At lunch, the guard brought a bowl of porridge to Ruiqi, which was quite thick, much more than the amount of rice soup given to the people on the street, and by the way, the guard brought Ruiqi a bowl of pickles.

The guard said with a guilty face: "General, there is no way to do this, there are no fresh vegetables and meat, only white rice porridge and pickles." These pickles were bought from the homes of the people for a lot of money, and if you don't dislike them, you can eat a little. After a while, I don't know if I'll be able to eat these. ”

When Riich heard this, his heart was extremely uncomfortable, and he slammed his fist on the table: "I can still eat these, but what about you? What can you eat? What face do I have to face everyone!

Suddenly, a sentry came to Ruich's place to report: "General Ruiqi, the sentry post has just been reported, and a cavalry movement was found in the distance behind the city, and it is not clear who the other party is, please decide!"

Huyan Ruiqi's brain was stirred after hearing this: "Could it be reinforcements, could it be that the capital sent to rescue the army?"

So Riich shouted, "Take me to see it!"

After speaking, he followed the sentry to the post behind the city to observe the situation.

After Huyan Ruiqi ascended to the city to observe, he held a telescope in his hand and looked at the movement in the distance.

As far as the eye could see, there seemed to be dust flying all over the sky, and it seemed that a group of cavalry was rushing here, and a golden dragon banner was faintly visible in the dust.

Huyan Ruiqi was overjoyed: "It's the hussars, our reinforcements!" Quickly prepare the soldiers to greet them, and when the hussars approach the city gate, open the gate to greet them!"

Huyan Ruiqi then ordered his soldiers to line up in full armor and prepare to go out of the city to meet the hussars. At this time, the Capricorn army behind the city was relatively weak, and Ruiqi personally led a team of more than 100 cavalry plus 2,000 infantry to prepare to go out of the city to meet reinforcements.

I wonder what these hussars will bring them?
