Just as these people were talking about their own family affairs and discussing when the Northern Army would retreat, a loud shout came from the lookout tower nearby.
"They're moving! They're moving!" The voice was urgent, even with anxiety and panic.
The sound of footsteps immediately resonated on the city wall. Those who had just been talking about family matters immediately focused their attention and looked into the distance. They saw that the dark camps under the afterglow had been opened at some point. Then the flags fluttered, and vague cavalrymen filed out in the twilight.
These cavalrymen first drove out of the camp, lined up in the fields, gradually formed a queue, and then began to speed up. The vibrating sound of horse hooves almost resounded throughout the sky. Even in the deepest part of the palace in Luojing, one could feel the approaching trembling sound under their feet.
The sounds of drums, bells, and shouts rang out from the city walls, and various beacon fires emitting thick smoke were quickly ignited. Soon after, bursts of dragon roars were heard in the sky behind.
The Red Sparrow Dragon Riders stationed at Dragon Cliff came out in full force. Red-scaled fire dragons swooped down from the sky, and amid the almost deafening noise of the soldiers on the city wall, they spewed dazzling flames at the thousands of cavalry advancing on the wilderness below.
The flames lit up the night sky red, and shiny silver-iron spears pierced through the dazzling flames, whistling through the air and penetrating the bodies of the diving dragons from bottom to top. The sound of metal piercing into flesh and blood made people feel cold. After being severely injured, some dragons fell from the sky with long wails, knocking away the cavalry along the way, leaving long gullies, and then were pierced by the cavalry charging from the rear.
The cold and sharp crescent-shaped sword was heavy and sharp, bringing up large pieces of broken scales and leaving long gashes on the dragon's body. Under the impact of the elite cavalry, the dragon was severely injured in just tens of seconds, with broken wings and limbs. Then, a long sword drew a stunning trajectory in the night, and the huge dragon head rolled to the ground in the surging blood, with its eyes wide open in death.
Flames were scattered all over the battlefield, and there were corpses of cavalrymen everywhere, as well as the wailing and struggling figure of a giant dragon. From time to time, the sound of artillery firing could be heard from the city of Luojing behind them, and explosions bloomed on the plains. The soldiers on the city wall raised their muskets and continuously focused their fire on the elite cavalry approaching the city, while powerful steel arrows pierced through the air from time to time by their sides. Some of them were only pierced through the arms, while others were shot through the throat. They covered their wounds unwillingly and slowly fell down.
"Bang——"
A dazzling flash of light burst forth from the earth, and a ball of flame carrying countless sparks shot straight from the Northern Army camp, rushing past the ground in an instant, and crashing into a corner of the city wall. It suddenly cracked into countless scattered flames and debris, leaving long gullies and afterimages of sparks on the earth. Finally, with the belated loud noise, a corner of the city wall slowly collapsed, revealing a gap.
"kill--"
Under the command, the soldiers of both sides rushed towards the gap regardless of everything, with layers of flags pushing forward. In the gap where the figures were swaying, the dazzling place was already a sea of fire and swords.
