The sun in the sky is like fire, and the grassland climate is getting hotter.
I feel breathless even after taking a few steps in the sun.
However, there are countless teams on the Xiliang grassland trying their best to rush eastward.
Some soldiers even ran while riding, fell to the ground and never got up again.
"Come on! Everyone, don't stop!"
As a forward general, Huo Li had already given his mount to other wounded soldiers. At this time, he also spread his legs and led the team to run eastward.
"Brothers, if you run a little further forward, our chances of winning will be better. By then we have driven away the Xiliang people, and I will treat everyone to a drink."
"Okay!" Everyone responded with a laugh.

July 18th.
Dingxi County, Mashigang.
This village, which was burned to the ground two years ago, finally gained some popularity.
Huang Ming and Thunder Dragon hurried to the designated location with their troops.
Everyone was exhausted.
"Immediately take cover and arrange security. Everyone quickly eats and replenishes their strength and prepares to fight!"
Soon someone approached quietly from the south mountain.
"Stop, who is it?"
"Starfall Legion, Houxue Camp, Tang Anguo."
The sentries breathed a sigh of relief when they heard the familiar Yun Chui's words.
After hearing what the other party said, they were even more happy.
Tang Anguo was quickly led to Huang Ming and Lei Long.
Both parties greet each other.
Thunder Dragon couldn't help but say: "Tang Qianchang, I wonder how many brothers from the Starfall Legion are around?"
Tang Anguo did not hide anything, "The news about General Huo came suddenly, and we were not prepared enough. After leaving the necessary manpower at each windmill point, the rest have gathered here, only more than 1,600 people."
"Quite a bit." Huang Ming and Thunder Dragon breathed a sigh of relief.
They had known that there would not be too many people in Dingxi County, so they were not surprised.
"We have a total of five thousand people. Although there are ten thousand Xiliang people blocking the front, we are attacking by surprise. We will definitely be able to kill these bastards in one go, and then support the battle outside Peishi City as soon as possible."
"Absolutely no problem."
At nightfall, someone hurriedly came over from behind.
"Thousands and thousands of years ago, cows and trees gave birth to them."
"I heard from them that there are other people from Laigu County and a large amount of food behind them. It's just that the road is too far and we haven't arrived yet."
Thunder Dragon and others were surprised and happy, and hurriedly greeted them.
As expected, it was Niu Shusheng and others.
"General Lei and Mr. Huang, we are here to help."
Huang and Ming looked at their number and patted Niu Shusheng on the shoulder with mixed feelings.
"The fight starts at midnight. Don't run around then, just follow everyone and charge."
"Understood!" Niu Shusheng took out a new whistle and laughed under his breath, "We know what we are going to do and we won't hinder you."
They had fought against Blood Moon Yingxiang together in the trapped dragon's nest, and Niu Shusheng had some idea of how battles were fought these days.
As long as the enemy is frightened and their formation becomes chaotic, they are almost at their mercy.

Peishi City.
The fifteenth and nineteenth moons are equally round.
The temperature finally dropped at night.
A gentle breeze blew by, bringing a bit of coolness and at the same time dissipating the stench from the city.
The vast land of Dingxi is quiet everywhere at this time.
On the high watchtower outside the city, my eyes couldn't bear the smell. After a few cursory glances, I got off the tower to find a place to hide and rest.
City head.
Huo Yun put down the telescope and looked at the hourglass beside him with Zhu Jialiang.
The sand inside passed by little by little, and the time was almost up to midnight.
"The enemies outside are resting, and the situation is favorable to us. Let everyone pay attention, sort out weapons and equipment, and start attacking after hearing the order."
"yes!"
At the south city gate, the city gate that was originally blocked tightly with Panlong Stone has been moved.
Ma Dali was riding a horse, carrying his machete, and was waiting at the door fully armed.
Behind him were rows and rows of fortress cavalry.
Toishi City was in dire need of supplies. Although he had another mount, it had now switched from a heavy mount to a light mount.
The equipment was much different, but the fearlessness on Ma Dali's face was the same as before, almost the same.
rustle!
The last bit of sand is gone.
Chirp, chirp!
Along with the loud whistle, red cloud-piercing arrows suddenly rose from all directions.
It exploded in the sky.
Zheng!
Huo Yun drew his sword: "Attack!"
The first to respond was the trebuchet in the city, and the locks were being pulled open one by one.
Whoosh.
All the flints on it were ignited and thrown far away.
In an instant, a brilliant rain of fire seemed to fall from the sky south of Peishi City.
Countless stones with flames smashed towards the Xiliang people's garrison and various siege facilities outside the city.
In an instant, a large area was ignited.
squeak squeak.
The four city gates opened at the same time.
"Come on!"
Ma Dali and other soldiers from the fortress took the lead, followed by garrison soldiers and countless civilians who rushed out with weapons and torches with murderous intent.
In an instant, he broke into the vicinity of the Xiliang people's camp.

south.
This is the closest place to the headquarters of the Yingling Legion, and the Xiliang people have set up many obstacles here.
Rumble.
The thunderous sound of horse hooves woke up many Xiliang sentries who had fallen asleep before they could react.
Clang clang clang.
Countless alarm bells were sounded.
"What happened?"
The sentries climbed up with a grunt and looked south.
Countless war horses broke through the night and were charging in the direction where they were.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Everyone, pay attention, the Yingling Legion is coming!"
They haven't finished speaking yet.
Suddenly, the eight war horses in front of them separated to the left and right.
The soldiers on horseback quickly turned around and cut the ropes tied to their mounts in a well-trained manner.
These war horses dragged a huge rolling log behind them. Under the huge inertia, they still flew towards the dense obstacles ahead, crashing out of a path with a bang.
As soon as the rolling log in front was gone, the horse from behind dragged another one over.
Wow!
The obstacles set up by the Xiliang people suddenly turned into a joke, and they were easily crushed or overturned in the blink of an eye.
Is this okay?
The sentries were stunned for a moment.
Seeing that the obstacles were about to be broken, they reacted belatedly and continued to beat the gongs and call people.
It's just unnecessary.
Those who fell asleep and died were awakened.
Hearing the noise from all directions, everyone was in chaos.
"What happened?"
"Enemy attack or misfire?"
…
No one answered. The leading troops of the Yingling Legion had already broken into the vicinity of their camp. A fire was set off with a roar.
Blood Moon Camp.
Xueyue Yingxiang said that he would take the lead in attacking the city, and his men were closest to Peishi City.
After being awakened, he immediately walked out holding his helmet.
At this time, the cloud-piercing arrows in the sky have not dissipated.
Xueyue Yingxiang looked around with his head raised, his expression became extremely serious.
"How many enemies are there? From which direction are they attacking?"
"Back to the Young Patriarch, the incident happened suddenly, and everything is unclear. All I know is that there are attacks from all directions..."
"Including the north?" Xueyue Yingxiang interrupted.
"Including the north side. All four gates of Peishi City were opened, and countless enemies poured out. It is estimated that the total number of people has exceeded 40,000, and there is a steady stream coming from behind."
"Nonsense!" Xueyue Yingxiang Boran was furious, "Where can Huo Yun get 40,000 troops!"
"Young Patriarch," at this moment, an elder from the north came running in panic.
"The enemies in the city are coming very quickly. They have already broken through my first line of defense and are about to kill them in the camp."
Xueyue Yingxiang was a little annoyed for a moment.
Since they were preparing to attack the city, and it was concluded that the defenders in the city would not and would not dare to open the door to meet the enemy, there were not many obstacles set up outside the city like in the south.
This saves the effort of Ma Dali and others.
As soon as they left the city, they almost ran into the blood moon tribe's former army.
First latest.
