Chapter 370: Arrival
The chief culprit of the collapse of Eastern Xinjiang is a traitor in the Eastern Border defense line. This person has been wearing a mask, basically no one knows who he is. Everyone only knows that this person is very good at drilling.
Even in order to improve his status, he will do anything desperately and by any means. At the beginning, everyone just thought that this person liked power. Coupled with some of the things this person did, he was liked by the upper-level officers. Therefore, his status rose very quickly, and he became a squadron leader in a short period of time.
And he was also a popular man under the frontline generals. Later, he became friends with the army commander who guarded the border fortress, and it seemed that he had a bright future. No one thought that he would take advantage of the trust of the legion commander in him to collude with the magician.
According to the account of the captured person, it was still the magician contacted by the masked man. Even back then, the magicians in Fengyang Country didn't know whether they should trust this guy. Later, this guy asked someone to open the city gate in the middle of the night.
Then the frontier border fortress will be destroyed in one fell swoop. According to this guy's confession, this person has now become a legion commander of Fengyang country, and is leading soldiers to continuously attack Nanyun country. Huo Hai didn't know who this person was. But if such a person is found, Huo Hai will not let him go easily, he must be killed.
"Damn it, I didn't come to South Road. It seems that we will have to wait until later to kill this guy." The commander of South Road is not this masked man. It seems that this masked man followed the large army and went to the army on the North Road.
Throw the dead in this place casually. This place is in the wilderness, and usually no one passes by, and there is no one living around it. So Huo Hai didn't care if it would cause a plague or not, just let them rot here.
Ordinary plagues are nothing to healers. Huo Hai found a random place and rested all night. The next day, before dawn, Huo Hai got on his horse and urged the horse to start on the road again. The closer you are to the southern front, the more enemies you will encounter. This proves that the situation here has reached a very dangerous level.
The enemies encountered later may be as few as a dozen when they are few, and as many as several hundred when they are many. Although the terrain on the South Road is difficult to walk, there is no special place that can stop all incoming enemies.
As a result, there have been some leakage fish running out of the South Road. This is the case with the enemies I encountered before. These guys exude a devilish energy, and almost every team is led by a magician.
Every time a team arrives, Huo Hai will know if there are any demons in the team if they are enemies. If there are demons, Huo Hai will kill them all. Huo Hai rode the horse by himself, and didn't stop at all, all the hands were star Gu. Along the way, Huo Hai didn't even have the idea of picking up the loot, he just kept on going.
In the afternoon, Huo Hai finally came to the vicinity of the South Army. Counting the enemies I hunted and killed on the way, I don't know how many there are. Adding them up, the number may have reached two to three thousand.
Forget it, Huo Hai didn't want to worry about it so much. In short, the scattered soldiers didn't put any pressure on Huo Hai at all. When Huo Hai stopped, the horse almost fell to the ground. Some white foam has spit out from the mouth.
In front of him, a fortress appeared, a very crude fortress that was barely built with stones. Huo Hai doubted how many times such a fortress could block the attacks of masters in the spiritual realm. Without the hands of a master of the spirit general realm, this kind of simple city wall will be completely smashed down. Anyway, the flag above still belongs to Nanyun Kingdom.
"Who is it, report your name, or we will attack." As soon as Huo Hai approached, the soldiers on the city wall shouted loudly. The surrounding soldiers immediately pointed their bows and arrows at Huo Hai.
These people reacted very quickly, but looking at the bloodshot eyes in their eyes, Huo Hai knew that they were not doing well.
Huo Hai shouted from a distance: "Under the order of General Xia Yan, I came here to support the South Road. This is my identification." Huo Hai pointed to the badge on his body, and threw out his token at the same time.
Soon, a soldier came down from the city wall, picked up the token and sent it back. Not long after, the gate of the fort opened and the people inside ran out. "I've seen the leader of the legion, and I still look at Haihan when I'm negligent." A shaggy bearded man came out holding a token. Looking at the clothes and badge on this person, he is actually a captain.
"It's okay, you are doing the right thing." Seeing that Huo Hai didn't mean to blame himself, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. What they were most worried about was that the person who came was a child of a family who didn't know anything.
Such an idiot is very likely to cause a very big incident because of a little dissatisfaction. Under the current situation, the energy of these soldiers was put on fighting against the magician. If these sons and brothers are allowed to make a fuss, God knows whether it will cause a mutiny in the army. Being able to persist until now has already shown that the soldiers have strong willpower.
"Tell me about the current situation. My task is to help the South Road resist the enemy's attack." Huo Hai didn't hesitate, and threw Xia Yan's order to the captain. Seeing this transfer order, the captain frowned.
Huo Hai has a high status and great ability, but there is only one person. Before seeing Huo Hai's ability, no one believed that such a person, who was only a master of the spirit realm, could resist an army. As mentioned above, let Huo Hai seduce the monster. But how could this kind of thing be done, and there is no magician here.
Thinking this way, the captain said: "According to our observations, the army on the South Route has actually increased to 50,000. There are still some people blocking the way ahead, but we have less than 10,000 on the South Route."
There are already a lot of troops on the South Road, and there are only less than 100,000 troops left in Dongjiang, and 10,000 people on the South Road is not bad. But these 10,000 people are far behind the opponent's 50,000 people. What's more, the opponent still has a large number of demons who can use it.
"How many people are there in this fortress?" Huo Hai held the map handed over by the captain, which recorded the terrain of the nearby area in detail. Even the monster that Huo Hai was looking for was very clear on the map. Looking at this map, Huo Hai can clearly understand the current situation, which is really not optimistic.
"Reporting to the head of the army, we have less than 5,000 people in this fortress, and the Fengyang army will arrive in five days at most. At that time, even if all our people are sacrificed, we will not be able to stop it." This is not the captain Get frustrated.
Even Huo Hai could tell that it was strange that these people could resist the attack of an army of 50,000. If it weren't for the fact that there are people in front who have been delaying, Huo Hai doesn't even know if the other party will come faster.
The only advantage now is that the other party doesn't know that he wants to use the power of Warcraft. I don't know if the news of the frenzy of monsters in Western Xinjiang has reached Fengyang Country. But even if it was passed on, they didn't seem to believe it. Since they came all the way, they didn't care about the Warcraft here, and they can already see it.
The captain did not disclose the secret mission in the transfer order. The soldiers here, the captain doesn't know how many spies are among them. But if the opponent rushed over, it would make no difference whether there were spies or not.
Huo Hai thought for a while, and then said: "You already understand my mission. Now you issue an order for all the soldiers to retreat quickly to form the last line of defense in this fortress, and leave the rest to me."
The captain did not refute, but immediately nodded in agreement. The opponent continued to attack, and the soldiers under him were almost unable to hold on.
Huo Hai went on to say: "You prepare a war horse for me, and I'll set off now." Without further ado, Huo Hai didn't want to waste time here. Hearing Huo Hai's words, the captain was relieved a lot. You don't even need to rest. It seems that the people who came to support this time, at least in terms of character, are good. I hope he can really do what he said in the letter and do this.
"This subordinate will prepare the best mountain horse for you." Mountain horse is a general term for horses living in the mountains. Ordinary horses are suitable for running on plains and grasslands, and it is trivial to travel thousands of miles a day.
But in the mountains, these ordinary horses are not very adaptable, especially when the terrain is complicated and the ground is still full of rocks. The most suitable for the terrain here is the mountain horse, which is the high-end horse native here.
The captain's speed was very fast, and after a while, the order had already begun to be executed. When Huo Hai walked to another gate of the fortress, the mountain horse was also ready. Bring an identity certificate given to him by the captain.
Huo Hai got on his horse and ran all the way towards the forest where the monster existed before he had time to rest. On the road, from time to time, he saw some soldiers who were evacuating to the back, Huo Hai knew it. These are the soldiers who withdrew to the fortress after receiving the order from the captain. Seeing his identity certificate hanging on the horse, he didn't regard Huo Hai as an enemy.
These soldiers just thought that Huo Hai was a soldier on a special mission. All the way without any surprises or dangers, without anyone paying attention, Huo Hai successfully approached his goal.
On the way, I met some Fengyang country soldiers and magicians who didn't know how to come here. Huo Hai also disposed of it casually, they wanted to make themselves their credit, why didn't Huo Hai want to cut off these guys who might be the opponent's eyeliner? Before dawn the next day, Huo Hai arrived at his goal.
