Chapter 439: Fierce Battle
Chapter 439
Eagle Guard does not have the habit of traveling together, which will not only slow down the march, but also expose the target because the target is too large, is in the process of retreating to Xia Youcheng, the surviving Eagle Guard still according to the normal stragglers in three units to start free movement, after consideration, I chose to take the route from Yong'an City to Xia Youcheng, this route is consistent with the march route of the demon clan, with the help of the demon clan's habit of not staying behind, we have not encountered any enemies along the way, occasionally we will meet a few fallen demon soldiers, we have directly slaughtered and cut as rations, in my plan, the only danger that may be encountered is to cross the demon army under Yong'an City, I didn't expect to run into a demon scout here.
Scout troops are often the forerunner of the big army, what I'm worried about is that in addition to the six legions of Night Vision, the Demon Clan will send other legions as backups, in that case, it will be terrible, just the troops of Night Scene, it is already difficult for the Terran to parry, and if there are reinforcements at this time, I am afraid that the Southern Resistance Army will also follow in the footsteps of Rainy City.
The wolf guards are getting closer and closer, Ma Lao Er and I are watching them with bated breath, hoping that they will not notice here, the corpse remains outside the sentry fort can clearly prove that there was a fierce battle here, with the habits of the demon clan, they have no interest in the second search of the destroyed sentry fort, you can understand that this is a manifestation of their overconfidence and carelessness, in fact, they do have this capital, for the demon army, even if there are some fish left behind, it is completely impossible to pose any threat to them.
As I had envisioned, the wolf guards had no tendency to slow down, which meant that they would go straight around the sentry fort and continue their way south, and we were able to escape again, and I could already smell the smell of the wolf riders in my nostrils, and experience told me that they were less than a hundred meters away from me, so I sank down again, waiting for the wolf guards to pass.
When the wolf guard running in the front passed through the sentry fort, my heart breathed a sigh of relief, the leading wolf guard is often the commander, if he chooses to pass, the wolf guard behind will definitely not leave the team to enter the fort to search, which means that we are safe, I will pull out half of the long knife and gently withdraw the scabbard, and when I was about to beckon the second child to go down, a crisp whistle of a bow and arrow from the string entered my ears violently, I turned my head in surprise, and saw that the junior behind me had already taken the second arrow, and the scolding of the second horse next to him rang out," Zhang Laosan, are you crazy, aren't you?"
Xiao San didn't answer, and after shooting a sharp arrow steadily, he said calmly in the gap between the arrows, " Can't let them pass, this force appeared very suddenly, we haven't received any relevant information before, they want to surprise the army, we have to keep the information cut off, so Ye Jingguang shouldn't know that he will have a reinforcement force behind, only with the troops in his hand, Ye Jingguang's attack on Yong'an City will be relatively conservative, once he learns that there is such a reinforcement force, Ye Jingguang can make another surprise plan to break through the city defense of Yong'an City, and then the tragedy of Weiyu City will probably be staged again. ”
As he spoke, Xiao San's third arrow also flew out, and the wolf guards were shot down three people one after another, no matter how stupid they were, they found out that something was wrong, they roared in the chaos, turned the wolf's head and rushed towards the sentry fort, I scolded the grass, pulled out the long knife on my waist, and grabbed the spear leaning against the wall with the other hand, and stared at the wolf guards who rushed over and said, "Then you can stop it by scaring the snake like this, and when they kill us, it's not to find the night light, what difference can it make." ”
"There's a difference," Xiao San shot down a wolf guard again, "Let's kill them, we can pass the news to Yong'an City before the night scene, and with the defense, the night scene will not want to reproduce the trick of the rainy city." ”
The second child and I couldn't help but choke for a while, there is nothing wrong with the theory and logic of the third child, but the reality is that we only have three, and the other party has nearly fifty, so it is not easy to kill them all.
But it's not easy to do it, the other party has already come to the city, we have no choice, if we surrender, we will definitely die, the demon clan has no tradition of preferential treatment of prisoners, if you want to live, there is no other way than to kill the other party as Xiao San said.
Thankfully, we are not without a chance of winning, the wolf guard as a scout of the legion, itself is not good at tackling tough battles, their task is similar to our eagle guard, mainly responsible for spying on the enemy and warning, so the wolf guard pays attention to the speed of speed, let's put it this way, if this is a plain, the three of us are tired and unable to escape, but on the other hand, the wolf guard has the upper hand in speed at the same time, not in other aspects, they have neither long-range weapons, nor heavy weapons, want to take down us in the sentry fort, how easy it is to say。
When Xiao San shot down the sixth wolf guard, the remaining wolf guards all poured under the wall of the sentry fort, the wolf cavalry stood on the back of the wolf and jumped, trying to climb up the city wall, I leaned out with the second child, stabbed down with the spear in his hand, covering the little three to continue shooting, soon, a pot of twenty arrows were all shot, we have no extra reserves, the arrows in the sentry fort as military supplies, have long been swept away by the army of the night scene, the third had to throw away the bow and arrows, pull out the long knife to join me and the second brother.
At the beginning, we relied on the advantage of the city wall to be condescending, and the fight was quite easy, but the good times did not last long, and when the number of casualties of the wolf guards went up, they used the corpse as a stepping stone, and suddenly narrowed the height difference between us, and the threat of the attack suddenly rose sharply, and the spears of the second child and I broke the handle after each stabbed three or four wolf guards to death, and there was no advantage in the attack distance, and the wolf guards who rushed in front immediately took advantage of the situation to climb the wall and started a melee battle with us.
The walls of the sentry fort are not big, barely able to stand down six or seven people, affected by the foothold, although the wolf guards on the periphery shouted fiercely, but there was no way to directly join the battle, which reduced our pressure a lot, although we are still struggling in one-on-one situations, but it is better than being besieged, or two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, just the three of us, I am afraid that it will not be long before it will become the mouth of the wolf rider.
The strength of the demon soldiers is generally large, although the wolf guards as scouts are not known for their strength, but they are also much greater than the human soldiers, every time the weapons intersect, I can feel the violent vibration from the tiger's mouth, if it weren't for the skillful cooperation of the three of us, only the first batch of wolf guards we may not be able to fight, but fortunately, the wolf guards are fighting on their own, limited by the temperament of the demon clan, each wolf guard will only stare at their opponent and attack, so that after I take his attack, the third or second can enter the knife from the gap between us to cut it, the same, the second and the third parry each other's attacksI'll also look for opportunities to make amends to their opponents.
After a while, the first batch of four wolf guards were cut down by us at our feet, and each of the dead wolf guards was densely packed with more than a dozen wounds, when the four wolf guards who came up later were killed by us on the spot, the remaining wolf guards stopped attacking, they obviously realized that this kind of strong attack was very unfavorable to them, in order to avoid meaningless casualties, they decided to retreat for the time being to discuss countermeasures, and we finally had a chance to take a breath.
Tearing down the corpse of the wolf guard on the city wall, the three of us leaned on the battlements of the city wall to rest for a while, twenty steps away from the city wall, the wolf guards gathered together and were discussing fiercely, the second child looked at the wolf guards roaring in anger with each other, laughed out loud, turned to me and said, "Brother Wu, you still want to win us? ”
"People have reckless capital," I tore off a strand of cloth and bit the handle of the knife with my teeth to entangle my wrist, "If it weren't for the fact that there were no people standing up above, this group of reckless men would have been able to put down the three of us with a single look, but now it's not much better, the arrows are gone, the guns are broken, and as a result, there are still thirty of them. ”
"Hey, if you die, you'll die, it's enough anyway," the second child took out the kettle in his waist and poured it into his mouth, but there was no drop of water, the battle just now was too fierce, his kettle was cut by the wolf guard, and it had already run dry, I untied my kettle and handed it to him, picked up a stone and polished the blade, and followed his words and said, "I won't raise the bar with you when you say this, how many of us have died?" On average, there are six or seven, this record is beautiful, and if those wretches in Rainy City had our level, they wouldn't be that miserable. ”
"Twenty-four. Xiao San calmly took over my words, "The situation in Weiyu City is different from ours, if they also have city defenses to defend, they can't be defeated so quickly, Brother Wu, although we didn't go north, but I also have questions in my heart, how can you say that Yejingguang can pass through Shangling Pass so quickly, is it true that the defenders of Shangling Pass surrendered?"
"Impossible," I rejected his idea without even thinking about it, "Who doesn't know that the demon clan doesn't leave prisoners, and surrendering is suicide, I don't believe those people in Shangling Pass would be so stupid." ”
I was chatting with the junior, and the second child suddenly climbed down the city wall, and after a while, he climbed up again, handed me the water belt, and said with a sly light in his eyes, "Brother Wu, two mouthfuls, good things!"
I took the water bag, and before I could drink it, a fishy smell rushed to my nose, and I frowned and asked, "What the hell, it stinks?"
The second child smiled, "I think there is a guy in the wolf guard we killed who looks like a tiger demon, when he fights, he counts his strength, and he was stabbed seven or eight times more than others before he died, I went down to take a look just now, and sure enough, it was a tiger into a sperm, so I poured him a pot of blood up, Brother Wu, this is a good thing, don't think he's fishy, drink two sips, that's more useful than stimulants, it's a big supplement!"
Listening to the second child say this, I had to pinch my nose and pour a breath, the second child is not fishy, after I returned the water bag to him, he himself gurgled and drank very beautifully, and when it was the turn of the junior, the mistress drank silently and did not express any opinions.
After the three of us rested for a while, we saw that the wolf guards under the city wall began to act, they should have reached some kind of consensus, some of the wolf guards left the team and ran towards the south, and the other part continued to confront us in the same place, I hesitated for a moment to figure out their intentions, these dogs, when did they become so smart, they all know the division of troops.
