Lord Yunzhong in Douluo

Chapter 415 Shounan Town, Falls
"Huh...huh...huh..."

The heavy panting sound passed through the dry and painful throat, like an old bellows full of holes, the sound was extremely dry.

The armor on his body was already covered with scratches caused by the violent bombardment of the city wall by the blast of crushed stones.

There was a finger-long wound on the corner of Medland's head. It was the wound left by a stray arrow that crossed Medlan's head when Xingluo soldiers attacked Shounan Town and suppressed himself and the others to defend.

If Medlan hadn't reacted quickly and turned his head away immediately, maybe his head would explode just like Ya Nadai next to him.

Medland didn't know which Xingluo army was on the opposite side, but after fighting for a while, he also understood why those veterans who had participated in the war between the two countries in the training camp respected and respected the Xingluo soldiers so much. Afraid.

With excellent armor, orders and prohibitions, the entire army is different from most of the Tiandou troops I have seen. It is an iron-blooded soldier who has truly obliterated his personal will and obeyed the command of the general.

Even when Medland and the others tossed down the blazing fire barrels covered with boiling oil during the defense, those Xingluo soldiers didn't take a single step back to dodge.

The soldier at the front blocked the oil barrel that rolled down the city wall, and let the flames burn on him without saying a word.

In the eyes of many Tiandou soldiers, he looked like a devil in a raging fire. He climbed up the city wall of Shounan Town along the ladder, and then rushed to kill a few enemy soldiers while his body was still moving. Also try to hug an unlucky guy and let him and himself meet the great emperor in the embrace of fire.

Medland had never seen such a tenacious will, at least never seen around him.

And this turned out to be just a few small soldiers in an army in Xingluo.

Medland didn't know how the Star Luo Empire did it, but he knew that he was a little more afraid of the empire next door now.

The battle in Medland didn't last long, because under the fierce offensive on the other side, the border guards, who were not outstanding in combat strength, could be regarded as retreating steadily.

Moreover, perhaps because of the huge gap in equipment, the crossbow arrows of Medland and the others could not inflict effective damage on Xing Luo's army at all. In addition to the strong bow, the long-range arrow crossbow of the guards could not even penetrate the enemy. armor.

Even if the outer armor is penetrated, who would have thought that they still have a pair of inner armor inside!
Therefore, if you want to cause effective damage to the opponent, you can only use a boiling oil barrel or a close-up sword.

However, the reserves of oil barrels themselves are limited, and there is not much room for them to throw barrels under the pressure of the enemy's strenuous arrows.

Some colleagues were turned into hedgehogs by Ruya when they tried to throw the barrel.

And melee combat...

The status of soul masters is lofty, but the number is rare.Even the army representing national violence cannot guarantee the proportion of soul masters.

And in Shounan Town, a place that is not valued by the principality, the number of soul masters in the army is even smaller.

And the Xingluo army on the opposite side... seems to be all soul masters...

Not only the military discipline is strict and the combat ability is outstanding, but even the individual ability is not something that Medland and the others can fight against.

Close hand-to-hand combat is more of Tiandou's garrison dying for the country in a more tragic way...

Before Medlan received the order to leave Shounan Town, many soldiers had already fled on their own.

In the face of the constant death of their companions, more people hope to avoid the "mortal" meat grinder and run far away to grab the first line of life.

Medland did not flee, at least not until she was ordered to.

As for the reason, it was naturally because of his identity.

Unlike most of the young bachelors among those fleeing servicemen, Medland had a family.

And his family, who are now behind this border, do not know whether they have arrived in Soto City.

Every minute Medland resisted, the time left for his family to evacuate was one more minute.

For his family, for the family who supported him through so many years of bleak and boring life, Medland was determined to fight to the death.

Then, he received an order from the officer who had already been hit by two arrows:

"Medlan, I order you to go to Nanxian City immediately, remind the garrison that Xing Luo has arrived, and then go to Suotuo City, and report to the city lord of Suotuo to step up defense and gather the people."

"Soto City is the principality's granary. It is definitely a strategic point that the Star Luo Empire values ​​very much. It cannot just be handed over to others."

"I will lead the rest of the soldiers to buy you as much time as possible. Be sure to send the news!"

"Yes!"

Riding on the officer's fast horse, Medland walked through the forest passages of the Principality.

He used to hate this narrow, indistinguishable road and the surrounding dense and complex forests, but now he feels very lucky.

This kind of trail and the surrounding environment can bring certain troubles to the enemy troops, and at least they can gain a little advantage for their own escape.

Medland knew why the officer asked him to pass on this information.

Because he was the only soldier in Shounan Town who sent his wife and family out of a nearby town a few days ago.

Others more or less sensed something was wrong, but none of them were as decisive as Medland.

Now, it's too late.

Therefore, after Xingluo's army invaded, among all the soldiers whose family members were near Shounan Town, Medland was probably the only soldier whose family members were still alive.

The officer knew this, so he asked Medland to deliver the letter.

At least it is possible that he can still be reunited with his family.

Vigorously swinging the whip in his hand, there was a sound of flicking on the buttocks of the steed under his crotch. Medland leaned down on the horse's back, letting the officer's horse run as fast as possible.

Please, please hold on for as long as possible, and I will definitely send the news.

sorry……

The horse's hooves stepped over, leaving a few clear teardrops on the green grass in the forest.

……

Shounan Town.

The originally tall and solid city wall has been broken under the attack of giant catapults, and some of the intact city walls are also covered with ladders.

The city gate is still intact, but the wall next to it has been broken open enough for an army to pass through.

The soldiers trapped in the camp are currently cleaning the battlefield and counting the remaining military supplies collected from Shounan Town.

Then they dug a big pit outside the city, threw the dead Tiandou soldiers and colleagues into it, poured barrels of oil on it, and prepared to burn them.

In order to prevent the plague from endangering the army and even the empire in the rear, Xingluo's response has always been to burn the corpses, so as not to leave a breeding ground for the plague and disease.

Gao Shun, holding a big halberd, rode a steed and inspected Shounan Town, a fortress on the Tiandou border, with a look of disdain.

Tiandou's army is indeed at this level...

I don't know what kind of combat power the Royal Army and the Cold Blood Army of the Principality of Barak have. They probably won't pull their hips like here.

Gao Shun ordered his soldiers to escort the captured Tiandou remnants to the empire for hard labor.

"Quickly refurbish the equipment. We are the vanguard of the empire. After the reinforcements from the rear arrive to occupy this place, we will set off again."

"For the Empire!"
