The expeditionary army set out in three ways, and the strongest main force was concentrated in Riich's team, and they would come into direct contact with the main force of the Capricorn country.

As the army marched farther and farther away, they reached a wilderness where the soldiers at the front of the line found corpses strewn across the distance, and the mountains were littered with corpses.

Suddenly, the army stopped, and Ruiqi rode to the front on a black lightning bolt, and when he looked around, he saw many bones hidden in the grass on the hillside in the distance.

At first glance, many of them were corpses dressed as soldiers, and some were about poor people who had unfortunately lost their lives.

Riich's eyes were full of desolation, but he didn't expect that these people lost their lives on the way before they could escape, maybe they were killed by the soldiers of Gartnu, so that the corpses were in the wilderness, and there was not even a person to bury.

Riich looked further afield, and it was a deserted village, with a thick black smoke of burning in the air, and a ruined wall beneath the sky. It seems that this land has already been slaughtered, and those people may have been slaughtered before they could flee.

Ruiqi suppressed his sad mood and rode straight to General Huyan, intending to report the situation ahead to him.

Then Ruiqi ordered his subordinates to arrange for the soldiers to bury the corpses on the spot, and the army slowly moved forward, and sent a team of cavalry along the way to find out the whereabouts of Gartnu.

An hour later, the cavalry brought news that in another twenty miles was the main city in the border area, but the city had been plundered by the enemy, and the people who had survived were miserable, and the goods in the city had been almost plundered by the soldiers of the Capricorn country.

General Huyan was full of emotion, and he couldn't imagine that the people had suffered deeply, but the army could not retreat, and now it was marching towards the main city.

When they are in the city, they will appease the people, restore order, and recuperate.

Walk to noon, the army marched into the main city, the people in the city are only the old, weak, sick and disabled, when they see the original Western Expeditionary Army coming, they immediately cheered, as if they had seen their relatives, and many people cheered loudly around the banner embroidered with the word "Huyan".

When General Huyan saw the ragged people, the sick and weak appearance made him feel pity, and there was nothing more important than driving away the beasts of Gartnu.

At this time, he was determined to defeat Gartnu and drive him out of the Western Regions.

Many houses in the city had been burned down, and there was little food left, so General Huyan sent soldiers to quickly send a message to the rear supply team to speed up the follow-up, and quickly transport food, clothing and other supplies to the city as soon as possible, so as to provide relief to the people in the city.

At the same time, Riich also quickly deployed troops to defend the city and repair the city walls and fortifications in case the Gartnu army raided the main city.

After all the affairs were arranged, Ruiqi ordered people to plant the big flag on the city tower, the west wind blew, the flag was waving in the wind, and the red and black border flag could be seen from a distance.

Ruiqi and General Huyan climbed the city tower and looked into the distance, only to see a depression outside the city.

But General Huyan seemed to have understood: "Ruiqi, if you want me to say that this Gartnu seems to be a little uncertain, he burns and plunders all the way through the place, but he does not defend and occupy the captured cities, but gnaws one by one like locusts. As long as there is something to gain, leave the ground behind. Therefore, I think that in addition to trying to intimidate the Quartet, Gartnu's purpose is to plunder money and enrich his own pockets. ”

Riich agreed: "You see that this main city was originally a major garrison, but Gartnu only cared about burning and looting, but did not defend it, and after the capture, he just went to other places to continue plundering, and did not regard this place as an important garrison." ”

General Huyan nodded: "You're right, Gartnu has a wolf nature, likes to concentrate on attacking the enemy, but does not possess the fruits of victory, and loses one piece by one. As far as the reason is concerned, it may not be that the number of Capricorn troops is very large, so he is reluctant to disperse his forces to defend these territories, and it is better to concentrate his forces on attacking the enemy and show his obscenity. ”

Ruiqi smiled slightly: "That's fine, we just need to grab his main force and concentrate on the attack, and don't worry about how much territory he still has in his hands, in this way, if his main force is eliminated, Gartnu will be defeated in one fell swoop." ”

General Huyan stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right, after we find out about his movements, we will attack him from three sides, I don't believe we can't beat him!"

Ruiqi moved his gaze to General Huyan: "Father, I think we are temporarily stationed here, maybe that Gartnu sees us coming here, is proud and arrogant for a while, and turns around to attack us. ”

General Huyan laughed: "It makes sense, then it's decided, let's first stop the drums, rest and recuperate, and then fight to the death when Gartnu comes!"

In many places outside the city, small grave bags were piled up, the corpses of which had just been buried by the soldiers.

Many had already died in the war, and the people who had escaped talked about the Gartnu army as if they were some beasts that ate people and did not spit out bones.

For some scenes during the war, the people in the city had lingering palpitations, and many people described the situation to General Huyan's father and son.

As for the skeleton soldiers and Charizard on the night of the blood moon, their accounts were almost identical to those of Wei Youcai. It seems that the original rumors were not groundless, and many people had already experienced those terrible scenes, which made Huyan and his son take precautions, and at the same time stepped up the deployment of trebuchets and crossbow machines, in case Gartnu heard the wind and launched an attack in the night.

General Huyan pinched his fingers and counted the days of the full moon night, he planned that if Gartnu heard the wind and mobilized a large army to attack the main city, then he would take advantage of the full moon night to concentrate his forces on attacking Gartnu, this was the only chance to defeat Gartnu, no matter what changes Gartnu would make on the full moon night, he would also take this opportunity to break through Gartnu's camp.

Ruiqi released a group of cavalry to find the advance force, the original advance force has not been heard, I don't know where they went to the guerrilla, now the main city has been occupied by the main force, and then it is to find the advance force to come to meet and discuss the plan to attack Gatnu.

The cavalry that had been released left the main city quickly, kicking up yellow dust all the way and quickly disappearing as far as the eye could see.

Not knowing if they would bring good news, Riich stood on the tower and watched the cavalry go away, he hoped that these cavalry would soon find the advance force to learn more about the truth of Gartnu's army, and also take this opportunity to find out the various situations in the Western Regions, and strive to drive Gartnu out of the Western Regions as soon as possible.
