The same scene was played out in many places in Xinghe City at the same time.
Under the cover of darkness, these mysterious figures were like black streams, all flowing through the city paths to the west of the city, and cleverly missed the patrolling defenders along the way.
Most of the buildings in the west of Xinghe City are relatively low and dilapidated, presenting a chaotic scene.
This place is close to the West Gate and is the place most vulnerable to barbarian invasions and wars. It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times over the past many years.
It wasn't until Yue Tai came to guard this area that the situation improved, but the people who wanted to live here were still mostly poor families in the city, and it naturally became a slum area in the city.
In the past hundred years, the slums have also enjoyed a rare period of peace.
However, the slums tonight are destined to no longer be peaceful.
Half an hour later.
In a certain dilapidated wooden house, the strong smell of blood lingered in the wind.
On the ground, six corpses lay scattered in a pool of blood. What was even more heinous was that among them was a woman in her thirties.
But there was a blood hole as thick as a thumb in his throat, and his pale right hand tightly grasped the hand of a little boy over two years old. The boy had long since stopped breathing. There was also a blood hole in his throat, which clearly showed that the person who had taken action had another
It's so cruel and accurate that it kills you with one blow, and you can't even scream.
Next to the pool of blood, seven or eight figures surrounded a middle-aged man with a gloomy face. Everyone had serious expressions, as if they were waiting for something.
Suddenly a figure flashed at the door, and a dark and thin young man quietly entered the wooden house.
"Master Mandrill, all the warriors in the city have been assembled, and the houses along the road have been cleaned up!"
When the sullen middle-aged man heard the report from the thin black young man, he nodded expressionlessly, stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips.
"It's almost time. Send the order and set off!"
Soon, more than three hundred black figures appeared in the residential area centered on this wooden house, and soon formed a flow of people, quietly sneaking towards the west city gate.
Everyone had a look of excitement on their faces, and their eyes were blood red.
These people seem to be no different from the human race, but in fact they are genuine barbarians, but they are the descendants of human women raped by the barbarians. In the past ten years or so, they have been sent to lurk in the city one after another.
The barbarians have always been proud of their bloodline and regard humans as slaves, pigs and sheep. Some tribes even feed themselves on human flesh.
Therefore, these barbarians with half human blood have been discriminated against by their tribe since they were young, so they hate the human race in their hearts more than the average barbarians. The human residents of the slums they just slaughtered have no intention of sparing a hand.
On the west wall of Xinghe City, every few dozen feet, there is a tower the size of an attic. There can be more than a hundred soldiers stationed inside, and there are people who turn their heads day and night.
At this time, in the city tower, two soldiers guarding the city were holding long spears and looking boredly outside the city.
Suddenly, the two of them saw a shocking scene!
In the darkness below the city, a torch suddenly lit up, and then the fire spread quickly, forming a sea of fire that was dozens of miles wide and had no end at a glance.
The light soaring into the sky made the land for more than ten miles under the city wall as bright as day.
Under the boundless firelight, there were countless barbarian warriors with full hair, clad in animal skins, holding various strange weapons in one hand and a huge shield in the other.
They were nearly ten feet tall and as strong as beasts, and many of them had strange patterns tattooed on their exposed skin.
The only thing that is the same is that everyone's eyes are filled with bloodthirsty killing intent.
"boom!"
There was an earth-shaking loud noise, and the whole earth was shaken.
Countless barbarian warriors quickly formed a military formation and ran towards the city wall. Like huge waves rising from the boundless sea of fire, they surged towards Xinghe City.
Behind the shield warriors are the siege troops carrying countless ladders, and behind them are countless archers.
"Woo!"
A sudden and loud blast of horns suddenly tore up the entire night sky.
On the city wall that was dozens of miles wide, countless human soldiers rushed out of the city tower in an orderly manner. In the blink of an eye, bows and arrows were raised at a forty-five-degree angle, and countless arrows reflected cold light.
In the eyes of the barbarian warriors outside the city, a cold light suddenly appeared on the city wall that looked like a giant dragon, as if the dragon's scales were fully erect.
"Buzz!" sounded.
The arrows shot from the city wall were flying all over the sky like locusts, and the entire sky was almost dark.
A shrill wail sounded!
It was just a volley, and countless firelights stopped in place forever.
However, the casualties not only did not stop these barbarian warriors, but instead, stimulated by the blood, they made screams like beasts' roars, one after another, which made people shudder.
After sacrificing thousands of corpses, the barbarian army swarmed under the city wall, and more than a hundred siege ladders were erected on the city wall against the rain of arrows.
Under the city wall for tens of miles, countless barbarian warriors carried weapons on their backs and quickly climbed up the ladder.
Even some totem warriors, like spiritual apes, climbed up the city wall in just a few ups and downs without using ladders at all.
However, they could only be regarded as an enemy of a hundred people at most. Under the siege of countless soldiers and officers at the top of the city, they were either killed on the spot or shot down from the top of the city.
Just when all the attention of the defenders was attracted by the enemies outside the city, inside the city, a small team of nearly 300 people quietly entered the west gate.
"Who is it, stop!"
The officer guarding the gate waved the silver spear in his hand and shouted sharply.
The hundreds of soldiers behind him immediately turned around, adjusted their military formation, and stared warily at the blurry distance.
A sound broke through the air, and a cold light shot out from the darkness!
Screams suddenly broke out, and the soldiers at the city gate who had no shields were suddenly passed over by spears, causing many casualties.
"Enemy attack!"
The officer guarding the gate was a mid-term acquired martial artist. The spear in his hand danced wildly, like a silver light curtain, deflecting the spear thrown at him, and the roar from his mouth rang out.
At this moment, his eyes blurred, and a middle-aged man with a gloomy face came up to him, raised his hand and slapped him.
A strange scene appeared!
Its palm quickly became larger and thicker, and grew thick brown hair. It soon turned into a huge bear's paw, which was pressed down by strong winds.
"Bang!" There was a loud noise.
An inhuman force surged in, and the guarding officer's mouth was numb. The spear he was blocking was broken in two, and his door was wide open for a moment.
Before he could make any other move, the other bear paw of the middle-aged man was like a hammer, hitting him hard on the chest. The guard officer's body was shot backwards like a broken bag, and he collapsed on the ground, looking lifeless.
.
Immediately afterwards, six or seven figures emerged from the side of the middle-aged man Yin Qiang, and they rushed into the soldiers defending the city in a flash.
These people seemed to be totem warriors, and with the nearly three hundred barbarians following them, hundreds of soldiers at the city gate were quickly killed by them.
At this time, the guards on the city wall had noticed something unusual. When countless soldiers came down from the aisles on both sides of the city gate, the patrol cavalry team that came for reinforcements also launched a charge, and the deafening sound of horse hooves was heard.
The middle-aged man Yin Qian had expected it. He raised one hand and more than half of the barbarians immediately formed a human wall, and the rest followed him and rushed towards the city gate.
For a moment, the sound of killing shook the sky!
Facing human soldiers several times their own, these ordinary barbarians suffered heavy casualties. Even several of the totem warriors suffered casualties, but they still defended the city gate without fear of death.
Soon, something happened that terrified the defenders.
As a rumbling sound came, the heavy west city gate was slowly opening inwards.
The tsunami-like shouts of the barbarian army outside the city immediately became extremely clear. Immediately afterwards, an elite cavalry consisting of tens of thousands of barbarian soldiers rushed out from the barbarian army formation and rushed into the whirlwind-like entrance that had just revealed a several-foot-wide entrance.
In the west city gate.
They quickly killed the defenders at the city gate, separated some of them, and dispersed towards the city. The remaining people dismounted and began to fight for the city wall.
The city suddenly fell into chaos, with wailings and shouts happening one after another, and the sound of horns blaring for the army to gather.
Several military camps in the city were buzzing with people, and fire dragons were rushing towards the west gate.
At the same time, there was another tragic scene on a street leading from the Zhenman Palace to the west gate.
But on the street, which was about twenty feet wide, there were corpses lying in various directions, both human and horse. They were all wearing helmets and armor, and they looked like they were dead.
If there were any residents of the city here, they would definitely recognize them at a glance. They were all dressed as the personal guards of Lord Zhenman.
In the middle of the street filled with blood, five figures stood motionless.
Among them were four unusually tall figures, surrounding an eight-foot-tall old man with a face like a jujube in the middle.
From a distance, it looks like four adults surrounding a small child.
The old man is wearing fish scale armor and a white robe of a python dragon. He has silver hair on his head and a red complexion. He is holding a half-moon mixed gold rod as tall as a person. It looks like it weighs a thousand catties.
His cold eyes slowly swept over the four people surrounding him without saying a word.
The four people did not take action rashly. One of them was on the east side, with a black spider tattooed on his face and cold eyes, and on the west side was an ugly man with a bright red tumor the size of a finger on his forehead.
The people on the north and south sides, one is a masked woman with a fist-sized gold ring on her left ear, and the other is a one-eyed man with a ferocious face.
These four people are all powerful among the barbarian totem warriors, and judging from the auras they exude, their strength is comparable to that of the innate warriors among the human race.
At this time, in the direction of the west city gate, the fire was rising brighter, and there were also bursts of killing cries and wails from all over the city.
The old man once again glanced at his beloved horse Wuyun Taixue, who was lying in a pool of blood next to him. His silver hair trembled, and he took a deep breath. Suddenly, the half-moon mixed with gold in his hand made a loud buzzing sound, and his eyes were as sharp as a blade.
stand up.
The next moment, people from the human and barbarian tribes who were several miles away seemed to hear a loud noise like a thunderbolt from the blue!
