Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 775 The Finale
The bitter cold wind swept across the withered and yellow field, and the air was filled with the smell of rot and blood. Under the gloomy sky, groups of black crows swarmed and flew to the battlefield full of corpses.

The blood had solidified into dark red, the broken battle armor was cold and dim, and the broken blades were scattered in the pool of blood. Looking around, the battlefield was vast and boundless, and the piled corpses stretched to the end of the field of vision.

The strong smell of blood attracted black crows and wild wolves, and they rushed to this gluttonous feast in groups.

The barbarians swept across the northern border of the Hanhai Empire with a thunderous force. The 20 border guards stationed on the northern wall were defeated in the first battle, and Marshal Orlando died in a fierce battle.

The barbarians who broke through the northern border of the empire did not stop their raids. They swept south unstoppably like a torrent, heading straight for Yuanjing, the capital of the Hanhai Empire.

The army of barbarians swept southward, leaving no human or animal behind, countless towns were reduced to ruins, countless villages were billowing with smoke, and the entire northern border of the empire was devastated.

The Hanhai Empire has been hunting and killing barbarians for a living these years. They regard barbarians as barbaric beasts, killing and selling wantonly, and now the revenge is so fierce.

This time, the barbarians changed their previous practice of withdrawing after looting the northern border, but continued to sweep southward in a mighty manner, preparing to overthrow the entire vast sea empire.

"Drive—drive—"

A scarred Hanhai Qingqi galloped on the potholed road. Hunger and exhaustion had made him extremely weak.

"The city gate is important! Come and stop!" The soldiers of the garrison army in the broken stone city in the central area of ​​Hanhai saw the cavalry charging towards them, and tried to intercept them with their spears.

But what they didn't expect was that before the cavalry rushed to the city gate, the cavalry on horseback had already fallen off their horses.

Seeing the blood-stained cavalrymen on the fallen horses from a distance, the captain of the city gate duty team changed his face, and hurriedly greeted a few guard soldiers and rushed over.

"Brother, what happened?" The captain on duty rushed over quickly, helped up the dying cavalryman, and asked anxiously.

"The barbarians... the barbarians are coming..." The blood-stained cavalry died before finishing his sentence.

A garrison soldier muttered in confusion: "The barbarians are in the misty forest, seven or eight hundred miles away from us, and there are border guards blocking the city wall in the north. What's the point of the barbarians coming?"

"Look here, I'll report to the garrison chief!" Although the squad leader on duty didn't understand what he meant, he still decided to report the situation to his superiors without hesitation.

After he finished speaking, he rushed into the gravel city and reported the situation to the captain of the garrison regiment of the gravel city.

"What? Barbarians are coming?! Where are they!"

The garrison captain of Crushed Stone City was from the Imperial Frontier Army. He used to fight against barbarians on the city wall. He was deeply afraid of those who would drink blood. When he heard the barbarians coming, he stood up in shock.

Seeing that his own officer lost his composure, the team leader hastily added: "Sir, a cavalry soldier from the border guards came to report just now. He said that the barbarians are coming. I didn't say so."

The captain of the defense regiment hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "Where's the man? Bring him here quickly."

The squad leader on duty replied: "He died after saying only one sentence."

"Where is the corpse! Lead the way!" Feeling that something was wrong, the captain of the garrison regiment rushed straight to the city gate.

The captain of the garrison regiment inspected the dead Hanhai Qingqi carefully, and pulled out a rough short arrow from his back. Looking at the short arrow, his expression became extremely solemn.

He used to fight against the barbarians on the northern city wall, and he was very familiar with this kind of short arrow, which was unique to the barbarians. Countless of his companions died on this short arrow.

"Order the cavalry to search north immediately to find out the enemy's situation!" The captain of the garrison regiment was alerted by the soldiers, and he felt the danger approaching.

"promise!"

Soon, more than 100 cavalrymen belonging to the garrison regiment of Crushed Stone City rushed out of the city gate and headed straight for the north in the twilight.

"Close the city gates! The whole city is under martial law! At the same time, send someone to warn the rear!"

A brigade captain frowned and said, "Sir, isn't it too hasty for us to close the city gate and warn the rear without any basis?"

The captain of the garrison wing changed his usual weak and money-greedy state, and became vigorous and decisive. He waved his hand: "I will take care of it if something happens!"

Several captains didn't dare to hesitate at all, and immediately turned around to carry out the military order.

"Hurry up!" Under the urging of the officers, teams of garrison soldiers drove from the camp to the streets and walls of the Rubble City, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"All irrelevant people wait to go home immediately!" The cavalry galloped across the street, and the sudden change made the residents who didn't know why talk about it, guessing what happened.

Soon, the news of the barbarians' arrival spread like wildfire, and the entire Gravel City was filled with an atmosphere of panic, but the streets were under martial law, and the residents could only wait quietly at home.

"Master Liu, do you know the consequences of what you do?" In the official office of Crushed Stone City, the administrator of Crushed Stone City asked the captain of the garrison in military uniform with a sullen face.

The captain of the garrison explained: "Master Luo, I got the news that the barbarians are coming, and I am prepared for the implementation of martial law."

The administrator snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous! This place is still seven or eight hundred miles away from the northern border, where are the barbarians?"

The captain of the garrison regiment was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain it. Everything he did was based on the soldier's intuition.

The administrator waved his hand and said, "Just now, many caravans have come to me to complain. If their caravans can't leave the city on time, there will be a lot of losses, so you quickly ordered the withdrawal of martial law."

The captain of the garrison regiment insisted: "Lord Luo, I have already sent people to investigate to the north, and we are not in a hurry, should we wait?"

"Wait! Who will compensate for the loss of the caravan? Immediately lift the martial law!" Seeing the captain of the garrison team go against his will again and again, the administrator suddenly burst into anger.

Just as the captain of the garrison regiment was about to agree to lift the martial law in the city, a garrison soldier stumbled into the official office.

"My lord! My lord! The cavalry is back! They have found the barbarians!"

The words of the visitor caused the expressions of the two city officials of Rubble City to change wildly. The captain of the garrison regiment didn't care about the administrative officer who was there, and rushed out of the official office in a big stride, shouting: "Give me orders! All soldiers go to the city to defend against the enemy! "

The captain of the garrison regiment quickly arrived at the city wall. Standing on the tower, he gasped as he watched the army of barbarians rushing towards him in the dark. The garrison soldiers behind him turned pale and their teeth trembled. .

Crushed Stone City fell quickly. Facing the fierce and powerful barbarian warriors, the [-] garrison soldiers in Crushed Stone City were defeated in just one encounter.

Looking at the city in the twilight, the barbarian leader who was full of rage waved his hand, and the howling barbarian warriors swarmed in, screaming in terror, crying in despair, and the screams of the killers soon rang out. , violent killings were staged all over the city, blood gradually flooded this hellish city
