Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 364
As night fell, the cavalry troops of the Dynasty, which had suffered heavy losses, retreated several miles and set up camp. There were clanging sounds from the wilderness. smell.

Those Nanchuan soldiers who were nailed to the ground on the city wall were also silently carried down by their companions. The recruits who were still elated before had witnessed the cruelty of the war, and now they also became silent.

"Come, take a sip of water." The veteran handed his water bag to some depressed recruits beside him.

Seeing the veteran's signal, the recruit didn't refuse to take it, raised his head, and took a sip, trying to wash away the boredom in his heart.

"Ahem..." Hot liquor was poured down his throat, and the recruit who was caught off guard coughed.

The veteran smiled and took the water bag and took a sip of it himself: "War is either you die or I die, it is so cruel, if you don't kill them today, they will come to kill you tomorrow, don't worry about it .”

Although the recruit didn't quite understand, he still nodded and felt much more at ease.

"Go to sleep, maybe after tomorrow..." The old soldier didn't continue, he put the saber in his handy place, fell asleep with his clothes on, and soon started snoring.

All the recruits suffered from insomnia that night. The tragic scene during the day kept churning in their minds. Thinking of that desperate face and dripping blood, their stomachs couldn't help churning.

In order to prevent the imperial army from raiding, all the soldiers slept wearing their battle armors. The blazing bonfire was like a thunderbolt. It was still difficult to dispel the cold at night, and many recruits were homesick.

Lin Chuan couldn't sleep and patrolled along the city wall. The sentries were very vigilant. Seeing that it was Lin Chuan coming, they reported that everything was safe and then hid in the darkness.

Lin Chuan held on to the cold city wall and looked into the distance. In the darkness, there were faintly dots of flames, which were the camp of the enemy cavalry.

Suddenly Lin Chuan heard the sad sound of the pipa on the city wall. An old soldier was sitting on a high platform and playing it. A feeling of sadness and nostalgia spread in people's hearts.

Lin Chuan sat down and listened confidently. The sound of the pipa was sometimes low-pitched and sometimes rapid and vigorous. Thinking of the beautiful hometown far away and never going back, thinking of the blurred faces of relatives, Lin Chuan also felt inexplicably sad .

The night wind was cold, and the sound of the pipa had stopped for some time. Lin Chuan felt a chill in his body and stood up.

"Huh?" Lin Chuan suddenly smelled a bloody smell, strong and fresh. The nearby bonfires had been extinguished at some point. Lin Chuan, who has been fighting on the battlefield all year round, was very sensitive. He held the handle of the knife , pulled out the saber from his waist.

bang!A cold light flashed in the darkness, and a sharp heavy sword went straight to Lin Chuan's chest. Lin Chuan raised his sword to meet him.

"Pfft——" Lin Chuan turned his wrist, and he was holding the broken blade at his waist. Lin Chuan killed.

"What's going on over there?" A Nanchuan sentry heard the noise, stretched out his neck and asked this way.

"Be careful—" Lin Chuan reminded.

But it was still a step too late, the two shadows who had been ambushing near the sentinel suddenly rose up, and only heard a scream, the sentinel had been killed by the enemy.

"Enemy attack - enemy attack -" Lin Chuan let go of his voice and shouted, his voice was particularly harsh in the dark night.

Two more enemies rushed towards Lin Chuan from the darkness, wanting to kill this person who spoiled their good deeds, but the knife flashed, and it was their heads that flew up.

The Nanchuan soldiers sleeping on the city wall were awakened one after another, countless torches were lit, and a large number of patrols rushed towards Lin Chuan. When they saw Lin Chuan, Lin Chuan had turned into a blood man.

"General, you are here." Sith, who was in charge of the night duty, saw Lin Chuan covered in blood and corpses all over the ground, and hurried over and asked with concern, "General, where are you injured?"

"Quick, leave me alone, the Dynasty Army's night attack—"

Lin Chuan pushed Sith away, grabbed the burning torch from the soldier next to him and threw it out of the city.

The torches fell slowly, and at some point, the top of the city wall was densely covered with enemies. They were like ants, covering the entire city wall in black, and underneath the city wall was an endless crowd of people——

Seeing this scene, Sith on night duty gasped.

A rapid and sharp whistle sounded on the city wall, and the officers shouted loudly: "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

Countless soldiers got up from the ground in a panic, and the bonfire was relit. They saw the dense crowd, panic, consternation, and fear covered the faces of the soldiers.

"Get ready to attack—" In the darkness outside the city, the commander of the dynasty army heard the sharp whistle from the city wall and knew that the sneak attack had failed.

The sound of war drums of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" was heard in the darkness, countless torches were lit, and the entire wilderness outside the city suddenly became a sea of ​​torches, and the countless surging crowds were like huge waves, Constantly rushing towards the city wall.

The dynasty soldiers who first climbed the city wall had jumped into the city wall with swords, hammers, and axes. Countless recruits who hadn't reacted were cut down in a pool of blood.

The situation was extremely critical. The recruits stationed on the city wall were no match for these wolves and tigers of the dynasty soldiers. The recruits were constantly being knocked over and cut down, and the screams kept coming and going.

Lin Chuan waved the saber in his hand, slashing at the enemy with all his strength, and the hot blood dripped on his face, making him look extraordinarily terrifying.

"Sith, blow the horn for help!" Lin Chuan shouted at Sith.

At this speed, it won't be long before the entire city wall falls. Many Nanchuan recruits turned around and ran away in fright in the face of the ferocious crowd.

"Take a step back and kill without mercy!" The soldiers of the Military Disciplinary Brigade unsheathed their swords and blocked the retreating road, blocking the fleeing recruits.

"I don't want to fight anymore, I want to go home—" the recruits cried and pushed the wall formed by the military discipline brigade.

"Chopped!"

The commander of the Military Discipline Brigade had a cold and ruthless face, his sharp sword flashed, and the fleeing recruits were chopped down in a pool of blood by his own people. Seeing the indifferent military discipline soldiers, pushing the recruits who were about to flee, they were stunned. He thought that his own people could be so vicious.

"Back back, or you will be killed without mercy—" the military discipline soldiers shouted in unison, forcing the fleeing recruits back to the battlefield on the city wall.

"Pour oil, hurry up!" Seeing more and more enemy troops rushing up the city wall, Lin Chuan shouted anxiously.

A can of kerosene was thrown off the city wall and hit the hard ground. The pottery pot filled with kerosene shattered, and black kerosene splashed everywhere, falling on the heads and clothes of the soldiers of the dynasty.

The dynasty soldiers holding the torches were knocked to the ground by the kerosene. As soon as the kerosene touched the sparks, tongues of flame several meters high slammed up, engulfing the surrounding dynasty soldiers.
