night.
Ziyue City is three hundred miles away from Pingcheng, and Shuncheng is located in Liangbian, Pingcheng respectively.
The population is only tens of thousands, and the city wall is five meters high. It is not considered a high city and a deep pool. Compared with ordinary border cities, it can be considered short.
But for decades, this city has been firmly on this line.
At this time, everyone in Ziyue City was wearing helmets and armor, but it was not solemn, but very noisy, and there were a few laughter from time to time.
Every one or two meters on the city, there is a strong man wearing worn-out leather armor and holding a long knife standing there, looking at the darkness in the distance. Although they know that the Great Xia Army is ahead, the darkness affects their sight. Even with the lights on the top of the city, you can't see very far.
But even if they knew that the Great Xia Army was on their way, there was no nervous expression on the faces of the people, but a relaxed look on their faces.
"I heard that the Great Xia army also arrived in Pingcheng and Shuncheng, so they all came out? They don't even want their old nests."
"Hey, the one who kills a hundred people is promoted to a higher rank, and it's up to him to see if he can be promoted."
"Maybe we can go to Daxia this time."
Everyone laughed and laughed.
"Deputy Protector, the Great Xia Army has stopped three miles to the north, and the number of the Great Xia Army has not yet been found out."
"The armies of the Great Xia came from afar, is there anyone willing to meet them? Let them feel the enthusiasm of our ancient warriors." The huge body of Xiong Yue, the deputy governor of the Northern Protectorate, sat at the front of the hall. On the seat, there are more than a dozen generals wearing leather armor lined up in two rows below.
"The subordinates are willing to go!" Almost all the people below stood up.
"Well, you're in good spirits." Xiong Yue nodded, "Bai Shiye, Zhong Qing, you two each led 1,000 people under your command to go out from the north gate, after a fight, you left, and returned through the east and west gates.
Set off in a quarter of an hour and return in half an hour. "Xiong Yue gave an order, and the two went out with joy on their faces.
"Send scouts out of the city to see how many people they have," Xiong Yue said again.
A quarter of an hour later, the north gate of Ziyue City opened, and two thousand burly men in leather armor roared out. After a distance, they brandished long knives and ran wildly.
Although he was running, his speed was not much slower than that of a galloping horse. With some spare energy left, his running speed was almost the same as that of Bolt, and he did not slow down at all after running for several miles.
When the dark army under the moonlight could already be seen ahead, the two generals each shouted: "Kill!"
The crowd behind them roared like wild beasts, and rushed towards the black army column in front of them.
"Everyone obey the order, kill." With a clear voice, thousands of figures rushed out from the front of the army formation.
First there was a wave of crossbows, and then various weapons were drawn to meet them.
There are all kinds of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and side weapons such as steel whips and stylus pens can also be seen.
"Kill!" With excitement in his eyes, Baishiye slashed at the oncoming black shadow with the long knife in his hand. The leaves generally fluttered to the side, and then the long sword in his hand shook out little silver stars.
"Death!" Bai Shiye turned his body, and the saber turned into a white light and wiped across the opponent's waist, splitting it in two.
The long sword in the opponent's hand was nothing more than a bloodstain on his arm, like being bitten by a mosquito.
But this opponent made him feel a little wrong.
People in the Great Xia Army who can use weapons like swords should definitely not be so weak.
"You dare to kill my disciple? You want to die!" A loud shout came from not far away, and an old man from Qingshan passed over the heads of the crowd with a sword and went straight to Baishiye.
When the swords of the two sides met, they could feel the power from the opponent's weapon. Baishiye took two steps back, while the opponent flew upside down five or six meters.
"It's a fighter from Daxia's Earth Wheel!" Baishiye immediately knew the opponent's strength, which was probably equivalent to the middle level of Earth Wheel. However, the martial skill used by the other party just now also made him a little puzzled. It was not a common way to fight on the battlefield. More than half of the eighteen swords in a row were false moves. If this trick is used on the battlefield, the opponent is definitely not a member of the army.
Looking to the left and right, the opponents encountered by many of the sergeants under his command were similar to the ones he had encountered.
"They are not the Great Xia Army, but those sects in the Great Xia Territory!" Baishi reacted violently.
But why did they appear here
Just now, the opponent didn't know where to hide after he was slashed with a knife. Baishiye slashed and killed a few more opponents. All followed for a while.
I saw countless black shadows swaying in the darkness, and the neat gun tips reflected the light of the cold moon.
Then a horn sounded, and the people who had just been fighting with the ancient warriors rushed towards the two sides like rabbits. The speed was so fast that the ancient warriors could not catch up.
"shoot!"
"Buzz!"
Countless bows and arrows shot at the crowd from the darkness, like raindrops, sixty or seventy people were shot into hedgehogs in one encounter.
Many others had an arrow wound or two.
When Baishiye saw the situation, he let out a long howl, and everyone retreated quickly.
However, when everyone was retreating, another wave of arrow rain came. Although the damage was a little smaller this time, there were thirty or forty people who were shot into hedgehogs because they couldn't dodge the block. He cut off the head and hung it on his waist, leaving the body where it was.
Their idea was to bring the heads of the fallen soldiers back to the Sixty Thousand Mountains for burial, but they didn't care about the corpses.
On the way back to the city with the crowd, Baishiye nodded briefly. At least 300 people did not come back, and only less than 100 heads were brought back.
This made him almost bleed from heartache.
Of course, the five or six hundred corpses of each other on the ground when they evacuated were not in his consideration at all.
"My lord!" Bai Shiye said after returning. "The subordinates will return to their orders."
"How?" Xiong Yue asked.
"If you attack a thousand people, you will lose about three hundred." Baishiye replied.
"Huh?" Xiong Yue and the others were a little surprised when they heard it. They originally guessed that the self-injury would be more than a hundred to two hundred people at most. After all, the other party has just arrived, how could they cause such a big damage after traveling a long distance
"My lord, what my subordinates encountered was not the Great Xia Army. The people they met at that time were not using the martial arts of the sofa in the army's battlefield at all, but like the moves of those Jianghu sects in the Great Xia. And I see that many people are not very strong. The same, but running extremely fast, like the so-called movement skills used by those people." Baishiye replied.
At this time, Zhong Qing also came in from the outside and clasped his fists: "My lord, this subordinate is coming back to order."
"How?" Xiong Yue asked in a deep voice.
"One thousand people were attacked, six hundred returned, and four hundred were killed." Zhong Qing said with an ugly face.
Next, as Zhong Qing told, the things he encountered were the same as those of Shiraishi Ye, they were all entangled in front of the battle like people in the Jianghu of the Great Xia...
Although the opponent's moves are not suitable for fighting on the battlefield, their strength is much higher than that of the Great Xia Army, and it is two or three people against one person. Even if they can't be killed, they can entangle for a while.
Then came the whole army of the Great Xia Army to attack and shoot with longbows.
This caused the losses of the two attacking teams to be much greater than expected.
This change surprised everyone in the hall. Daxia actually brought all those Jianghu sects into the battlefield
At this time, outside Shuncheng, after the Daxia army dispersed to explore the horses, the army formation separated towards the two sides, and the round objects dragged by twenty horses were dragged out and pushed to the front of the army formation, arranged in a line , the black cylinders made of refined iron were aimed at Ziyue City a few miles away.
If Ren Baqian was here, he would definitely be able to recognize what it was.
