"boom" When the Gentian Battalion entered the city, the north gate of Huoyue City was already in pieces.
It had been damaged when the armored demons broke into the city a few months ago.
Now it was hit by the heavy shields of the Gentian Battalion soldiers, and it was expected that it would be shattered.
It's over.
The four snow-trodden hooves stepped on the broken door and slowly entered.
Lin Muyu held the reins and looked at the gray marks in the city.
The demons must have set fire when they entered the city.
Huoyue City's granaries, temples, blacksmith shops and other facilities They were all in ruins.
Wei Qiu looked at everything around him with his starry eyes and frowned: "Commander, this is a complete ruin and cannot be defended at all.
We shouldn't waste time here."
"I know."
Lin Muyu nodded and said: "The demons may come back at any time, so we must quickly move the people here, send people to gather all the people in Huoyue City, leave the city from the north gate, and send a hundred people to escort them across Let’s go to Cuckoo City in Qinling.”
"yes."
Wei Qiu frowned and asked: "Sir, will the city lord of Cuckoo City accept these people?
After all, these people were former subjects of the Yihe Kingdom and are deeply hated by our empire.
I am worried that the city lord will kill these people. ” "It's okay, I'll just write a letter."
"yes" At dusk, nearly 20,000 hungry craftsmen were rounded up.
Just as the hunter said, these people had their own crafts.
Some were masons, some were carpenters, and some were bow makers.
These were all people who could be directly controlled by the empire.
Civilians recruited by the army, not to mention that the empire was building steel walls, and the demand for blacksmiths and stonemasons was very high.
At this moment, these people were even more precious than gold.
"Swipe" Lin Muyu brushed off a blacksmith's bench that was burnt black, put a cloth on it, then took the pen and ink from Wei Qiu's hand, and carefully wrote a letter to the Lord of Cuckoo City: "Master Wang Ju, these people are all Each of the refugees in Huoyue City has some skills, so I decided to transfer them to Cuckoo City and become subjects of the empire.
I hope you will make good arrangements and not harm them."
After finishing writing, he took out the general seal from the Qiankun bag and covered it with the blood-red seal pad held by Qin Yan.
Afterwards, he rushed into the granary, killed several armored demons guarding the food, and distributed the food to the civilians.
Until late at night, a hundred Gendan Battalion cavalry slowly escorted 20,000 civilians out of the city, and the valuable things in Huoyue City were almost emptied.
These civilians left in large and small cars pulling countless objects. , food, gold coins, ironware, etc.
On the city wall, Lin Muyu watched the group of refugees leave.
The cold night wind blew on his face like a knife.
He pressed his hand gently on the city wall and opened the march map again.
By the starlight, he fumbled for the details on the map.
City after city, finally, his finger gently pressed on a city mark on the map and never left.
Wei Qiu stood aside and said with understanding: "Xingjue City is a very wealthy city.
It originally had a population of more than 200,000, but now there should not be much left.
Commander, you want to attack Xingjue City."
"Um."
Lin Muyu looked at him with clear eyes and said with a smile: "Send someone to inquire around Xingjue City to see how many armored demons are guarding Xingjue City.
There should not be many."
Wei Qiu nodded: "Almost all the armored demon army was dispatched to the direction of Bailing City to fight Long Qianlin.
Naturally there won't be too many defenders here, but Lord Star Jue City is too close to Sunset City guarded by Ding Xi.
Well, the riding distance from the steel protective wall to Xingjue City is no more than two hours at most.
Even infantry can get there in half a day.
If we attack Xingjue City, we may have to face the army of Lingnan Yihe Kingdom at any time. ” "I have made up my mind, no need to say more."
Lin Muyu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Let everyone eat well and sleep well tonight.

We will set out to attack Xingjue City early tomorrow morning.
We will still march lightly and bring three days of dry food with us.
All supply troops will withdraw to Mosong Pass."
"We don't want supplies anymore" Wei Qiu was stunned.
"It doesn't matter.
As long as we capture Xingjue City within three days, there will be plenty of food.
If we can't capture it, we will return to the empire's territory.
It's too dangerous here."
"yes" That night, the nearly five thousand troops of the Gentian Battalion slaughtered hundreds of livestock found in the city, cooked pots of broth, and gave the soldiers a delicious meal.
The war horses were fed with enough fodder.
At midnight, the camp plate There was a lot of snoring, and the only sound was the hooves of the scouting troops in the distance.
The night was so peaceful, so peaceful that it made people a little uneasy.
Beside the central military tent, Lin Muyu did not sleep.
Instead, he lay on the huge millstone nearby, looking up at the starlight.
His body stretched naturally, absorbing the power of the stars in the starlight.
At the same time, he moved the fighting energy in his body according to the formula of the Star Jue again and again, but always Unable to break through that layer of confinement, and still unable to comprehend the power of the fourth heaven of the Star Art.
In the late autumn night, a layer of frost fell down and fell on Lin Muyu's face, but it did not melt.
The layer of star power on the skin of his face exuded a beautiful luster, which was reflected from under the frost, making it particularly beautiful. .
In the early morning, she woke up to the sound of horse hooves and curses.
Lin Muyu opened her eyes leisurely.
The curser was Feng Xi.
This guy had a bad temper.
He was scolding the soldiers of the Linghuo Division for burning the marching cake.
Food is wasted.
"Brother, it's time to eat."
Qin Yan brought noodles and broth.
There was a large piece of meat bone in the soup bowl, which looked like beef, and the aroma was overflowing.
Lin Muyu took it over politely.
He was really hungry after practicing all night.
He gulped down soup and meat.
Qin Yan gently raised his hand to help Lin Muyu wipe off the frost on his shoulders.
He smiled and said with a warm smile: "Brother , you didn’t rest in the camp all night?”
"Well, the practice of Star Art requires absorbing the source of power from the starry sky."
"It's a strange martial arts, but it's also very strong."
Qin Yan chuckled.
Lin Muyu also smiled and continued to bite the pie.
Qin Yan was more like a younger brother to him.
After Qin Lei's death, Qin Yan did regard Lin Muyu as his elder brother, otherwise he would not treat him like a big brother. shouted.
It's not bad to have such a young prince brother who is strong and very loyal.
After eating a large bowl of meat, Lin Muyu clapped his hands and said, "Pack it up and get ready to continue marching."
"yes" Qin Yan washed the soup bowl and handed it to the soldiers of the Linghuo Division.
Then he brought Taxue over and said with a smile: "Brother, we will arrive at Xingjue City around dusk today.
We must attack immediately."
City?"
"Um."

Lin Muyu nodded and said: "Capture Xingjue City before the demon army can react, and then take the good things from Xingjue City and transport them back to Lingbei.
Rather than leaving them to the demons, it is better to leave them to the empire."
"Ha, I thought so too" "Set off" "yes" The army marched in a mighty manner, with the Imperial flag of the Purple Yinhua Empire fluttering in the wind, while the soldiers of the Gentian Battalion were full of energy one by one.
Their distinctive military postures with swords and armor were full of majesty, and the morning light dragged the shadows of everyone very long, like a blur.
On the dead land, this army galloped away, seeming to bring a glimmer of life to this slaughtered land.
In Sunset City, behind the steel protective wall, the camps of the Yihe Kingdom were connected together.
It was very lively with people shouting and horses neighing.
Between the crisscrossing camps, a column of iron cavalry quickly entered the Chinese army's tent.
Walking at the front was a group of soldiers.
A senior general with the rank of captain with two stars on his shoulders, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a mustache, and a chilling aura of violence in his eyes.
Holding the hilt of the sword on his waist, he stepped into the tent under the protection of the guards.
In front of him was Ding Xi, who was holding a bowl of marching broth.
"The last general, Xiong Chao, meets Ding Shuai," he said loudly.
Ding Xi raised his head, smiled slightly, stood up and said, "Why did General Xiong come to the former army camp?
Weren't you with Marshal Lu Zhao in Sunset City?"
Xiong Chao raised his thick eyebrows and said: "The Sunset City is full of warblers and swallows.
I, Xiong Chao, am a rough man and can't stand it, so Marshal Lu Zhao ordered me to lead three thousand cavalry out of the steel wall to test the magic." family situation.”
"Build out the steel protective wall" Ding Xi frowned and said: "Marshal Lu Zhao should also understand the danger north of the steel wall.
As long as the demons dispatch a thousand-man legion, I am afraid that none of General Xiong's three thousand cavalry will be able to survive."
Xiong Chao smiled: "Shuai Ding is overly worried.
Even though the armored demons of the demon race are powerful, they are still stupid after all.
As long as we use rockets to kill them, how can the armored demons be able to do anything to us?
And we just got the Feather Book, Marshal Long Qianlin's The dragon cavalry army has already used the iron chain formation to fight the main force of Lei Chong's armored demon army outside the city.
The general is personally supervising the battle, so there won't be too many demons in Xunbai Province.
If we don't attack at this time, I'm afraid we will What a waste of opportunity.”
Ding Xi narrowed his eyes: "General Xiong really must go to war."
"Yes, I have made up my mind."
Xiong Chao took out a command arrow and said: "This is the command arrow issued by Marshal Lu Zhao to the last general.
I hope Marshal Ding can release it."
"It seems that the general is eager to perform his duties."
Ding Xi smiled slightly and said, "But after you get out of the steel protective wall, there will be nothing to protect you.
There are not only demons in the north of the protective wall, but also the army of the empire, Lin Muyu's dragon It is said that the Dan camp has entered Lingnan.
You must be careful.
Once you encounter the Long Dan camp, do not fight and withdraw the steel wall immediately. " "Imperial Army" Xiong Chao pressed the hilt of his sword with a look of disdain on his face: "Shuai Ding has not fought for too long.
He has lost the spirit of an army commander, right?
Why should Lin Muyu and Longdan Camp be afraid?
Has Ding Shuai forgotten Lanyan City?"
In the battle, what kind of work is that?
Did the Shizi Gentian Camp and the Royal Forest Army all be killed by our Sunset City army and flee in embarrassment?
If Lin Muyu was smart, he would naturally avoid me.
If I met him, Ding Shuai would wait for the general to come back with Lin Muyu’s head.
Enjoy it” A chill flashed across Ding Xi's eyes and he said: "General Xiong, don't underestimate the enemy."
"Don't worry, Ding Shuai just needs to rest assured."
"Well, come on, please open the door and let General Xiong's people out
