Chapter 249: War of Atrition

As soon as the Demon Slayer Crossbow came out, the soldiers of the Ancient Six Clans were frightened and fled one after another, leaving behind thousands of corpses, some of whom tried to stop them, but all failed.

This siege lasted less than an hour.

Although they won, Dong Yong and Cheng Chuan were not happy at all, and their faces were still serious.

The Great War had just begun, and they used the means of pressing the bottom of the box - the Demon Slayer Crossbow.

Moreover, the Demon Slayer Crossbow is not able to be used continuously, there is a cooldown time, and in the hidden city, there are not many reserves of bows and arrows, only about a hundred.

If you do fight, it will run out in a while.

"Who told you to return it?"

Fire Break was in the rear of the army, with anger on his face, and shouted loudly, and in front of him, five generals knelt on the ground, they were the generals who charged into battle in this battle.

"General, the enemy is using the Demon Slayer Crossbow, and the soldiers are frightened, and we can't stop it at all. One of the generals explained, full of helplessness, he had exhausted all means.

But his words did not have the slightest effect, but instead angered the fire and collapsed.

Failure is failure, where are so many excuses?

"Come on, drag it out, cut it off!"

The fire broke and disgusted, and the evil qi all over his body soared, causing the temperature around him to drop sharply, and the dozens of generals standing on both sides were slightly shocked, they were really killed!

Ten soldiers stepped forward and dragged out the five generals who were kneeling on the ground without the slightest hesitation.

The five generals did not dare to resist.

They don't have the right to resist, because their families are still in the community, and if they resist, they will be charged with rebellion, and it won't be worth it.

Battlefield, that's it.

As a general, you must be ruthless to your enemies and to your own people.

Ten zhang away, with a miserable scream, blood splattered five steps, and the heads of the five generals fell to the ground.

"Next time, Ben will not give an order to retreat, if you retreat without permission, you will be killed!"

The generals present in the fire rout commented on the cold road, their faces were cold, which made people shudder, and the terrible evil aura made people's scalps tingle and panic.

"Obey the general's orders!"

Dozens of generals knelt on one knee and said loudly, with a layer of gloom in their hearts, thinking that after the discussion was over, they would go down to do ideological work for their subordinates.

"Hurry, water soul, sword extinguished, sword brown obey orders!"

Huo Collapse's face remained unchanged, and he ordered again, his tone was cold, and his soul was frozen.

"The last general!"

The four generals walked out, knelt on one knee, held their swords in their right hands, put their left hands on their chests, looked firm, and said loudly.

The sound was loud and deafening.

"Half an hour later, the four of you will lead a large army to attack Youzhou City, remember, you have only one purpose, to consume the Demon Slayer Crossbow in Youzhou City. "The fire collapsed.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone shattering.

The hearts of the four generals sank, and they understood what it meant, which meant death.

The power of the Demon Slayer Crossbow, they naturally knew it.

A demon-destroying crossbow can kill at least nearly a thousand soldiers, and who knows how many bows and arrows there are in the ghost city?

If there are thousands of them, I am afraid that their men will die, and they will not be able to consume them.

However, just now, Huo Jie did not hesitate to slash and kill the five generals, so that they did not dare to refuse, glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and nodded.

"When you come back, Ben will report to the military and give you a chance to enter the blood pool. "The fire broke deep into the road.

There are rewards and punishments.

This is the way to run the army.

It is also the way of the general.

"Thank you, General!"

The faces of the people were overjoyed, and they entered the blood pool, this opportunity has a huge temptation for everyone, they now have the peak realm of real people, and when they enter the blood pool, they can break through the immortals.

The realm of immortals, prolonging life through the ages.

Who can resist this temptation?

The four of them saluted, retreated to dispatch troops, and half an hour later, 40,000 troops went out to fight, condensed into battle, and the evil atmosphere was pervasive, and it looked very terrifying.

Woohoo......

On the wall of the secluded city, the soldiers of the Central Empire drew their bows and arrows, falling like raindrops, leaving ravines in the void, and the sharp qi fell to the ground, and there were big holes one after another.

After sacrificing a thousand soldiers, the army of the ancient six tribes finally forced into the city wall, and when they saw the city gate close at hand, they showed a smile and prepared to launch a final attack.

But......

Only a few people know that this is just the beginning, and most of the flowers of life will eventually wither here.

"Destroy the crossbow!"

Dong Yong shouted loudly, the sound spread throughout the city wall, and dozens of demon-destroying crossbows emitted one after another energy, flying out one after another, hitting the early city, making a loud noise, deafening.

In an instant, thousands of people fell.

Like the previous wave of attacks, the soldiers of the ancient six clans panicked and prepared to retreat, but the four of them had already taken precautions, and arranged a group of cronies in the rear, and if they encountered the retreating people, they would be killed immediately.

"Kill!"

In the retreating crowd, dozens of people were mercilessly killed, their heads fell to the ground, and blood was donated to stain the ground.

This is undoubtedly very deterrent.

Tens of thousands of troops were stunned for a moment, looked at the guards with expressionless faces and exuded evil spirits, shook their teeth, and roared hoarsely: "Brothers, continue to attack the city!"

The back road was blocked, and they all knew that only by continuing to attack the city could they have hope of living, and if they retreated, they would only be hacked to death.

An army of 100,000 counterattacked here.

The bloody aura lingered all around, and countless soldiers roared loudly, their faces were fanatical, and with resolute emotions, they fought to the death.

The battle spirit roared, flickering with blazing light, transforming into a blood-colored flame that shone all around, and the terrifying heat caused the void to distort and a black hole appeared.

The formation of the ghost city, under the attack of the battle spirit, also rippled, although it was not distorted, it was also not affected.

If it goes on like this, it won't be long before the attack will shatter.

When the time comes, the army of the ancient six clans will rush forward and suppress this city with supreme power.

Normally, this is the case with siege warfare.

"Go ahead and unleash the crossbow!"

Dong Yong's face remained unchanged, and he ordered in a deep voice, although he was already very anxious in his heart at this time, he couldn't show it, because he was the main general, and he needed to carry the big things when they fell.

If he shows alarm, the morale of the army will be scattered.

Once the morale of the army is broken, the battle will be lost.

"No!"

The defenders in the city, seeing Dong Yong's calm face, were also a lot more relieved, cheered up and continued to attack, attacking the enemy with a tenacious attitude.

The smell of blood was pervasive, converging in the firmament, the evil aura was rolling, and the clouds were condensed, as if there was a hideous beast, about to be born, and it looked terrifying and terrifying.

Under the city wall, there were corpses everywhere, piled up together, some of them were already blurred with flesh and blood, and they were trampled into a mess of flesh, and the blood flowed, forming pools of blood, emitting a fishy smell that made people vomit.

The ground was desolate, and there was despair in the eyes of many soldiers of the Ancient Six Clans, and they may have understood that they were sending them to death, and their only role was to consume the Demon Slayer Crossbow.

Even some soldiers showed anger in their eyes, and they let out an unwilling roar in their hearts: "Why? Why did you become cannon fodder?"

"It's not fair, I don't want to be cannon fodder......"

Emotions are a very magical force, it can be contagious to each other, when a person is happy, it can render others, and also become happy, when others are angry, the surrounding emotions will also be mobilized, as long as there is an introduction, it will become extraordinarily angry.

"Order, withdraw the troops!"

Behind the battlefield, the fire rout ordered.

He is undoubtedly an excellent general, who can accurately control the emotions of his soldiers, and at critical moments, he gives orders.

"The general has an order, withdraw the troops!"

"The general has an order, withdraw the troops!"

"The general has an order, and the withdrawal ......"

The herald shouted loudly, the voice was blessed by the aura, probably because he had practiced the sound gong, the voice was very loud, and it was accurately transmitted to every soldier and Zheng

Suddenly, the anger vanished.

The soldiers of the ancient six tribes, with an army of less than 20,000, began to retreat in an orderly manner and fled from this Shura battlefield.

It's terrifying.

It's horrible.

Today's battle may leave a shadow in their hearts, which will never dissipate, and perhaps they will wake up from a nightmare in the dead of night.

Soon, this battle, which lasted for half a while, came to an end for the time being.

The soldiers on the ghost city couldn't help but cheer and cheer for this battle.

"And thirty Demon Slayer Crossbows!"

Cheng Chuan said with an ugly face, after the battle began, he became Dong Yong's logistics, handling all kinds of war affairs.

"Thirty ......"

Dong Yong was silent, these numbers of demon slaying crossbows, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold out even a battle.

He looked at it, and there was a bloody cloud, which was shining under the sun's rays, producing a blood-colored halo, like eating wild beasts.

He knew that there were not many options left for him.

Of course, he could choose to run away, which would save his life, but again, he would lose the lives of millions of people.

The report of the slaughter of the city from the front line, he also knew and understood the brutality of the ancient six clans.

But......

As an excellent general, how can he abandon his subordinates and the people and run away?

No!

Absolutely not.

In this case, it is also his obligation to find a way to lead everyone to survive.

"Soldiers......"

Having made up his mind, Dong Yong looked at the soldiers defending the city, and said with a serious face: "Soldiers, the brutal enemy is in front of you, and the reinforcements from the imperial court will arrive in five days, but unfortunately, I want to tell you an unbelievable news, that is, according to the conventional way of defending the city, it is difficult for us to hold on to the five-day ......."

The defenders of the city were stunned, what do you mean by this?

Do you want to give up the ghost city?

They didn't say anything, looked at Dong Cheng calmly, waiting for the latter's explanation.

"Soldiers, do you tell the general, are you willing to defend the city, are you willing to defend your family?" Dong Yong's face froze, and he shouted loudly, his voice was shocking, like a thunderbolt, hitting everyone's hearts

"I don't want to!"

"I don't want to!"

"Reluctance to ......"

Millions of soldiers shook, their faces were firm and serious, and no one flinched.

The soldiers of the Central Empire are easy to add and cannot retreat.

Behind them, there are their own loved ones, which does not allow them to retreat.

"Then, if the order that Ben will give may be certain death, are you willing to obey the order?" Dong Yong was very satisfied with Zhong Rao's answer and asked loudly.

Hearing this, millions of soldiers were silent, how difficult is the choice of life and death?

They look at me, I look at you, in a state of entanglement, after a while, a burly soldier came out and said loudly: "Tell the general, subordinates are always ready, in the first to join the army, the lives of subordinates can be dedicated to the motherland at any time." ”

His voice was sincere, a righteous emotion, condensed.

"I ...... I do, too!"

"People die and birds are in the dynasty, eighteen years later, we are a good man again, afraid of a hairy egg?"

"General, I'm willing to ...... too"

"General, we are all willing to ......"

One by one, the soldiers stood up, and one voice became two, two voices became ten, ten voices connected the city, and finally became the sound of the mountains and tsunamis.

The whole city was boiling.

At this time, if you look at the eyes of these soldiers, you will find a resolute emotion, leaving everything behind, even abandoning life.

"Okay, Ben promises here that he will live and die with the city!"

Dong Yong said loudly, pulled out his weapon, and slashed in his hand, dripping out a few drops of blood, emitting a red glow.

At the same time, above the nine, a bloody light shot down and landed on Dong Yong's eyebrows, forming a contract mark.

It's a blood pact.

Dong Yong is weak in cultivation and cannot achieve the realm of following the law, so the blood oath needs to be used as a medium to succeed.

This means that Dong Yong needs to live and die with the city, and if this city is destroyed, he will also be scattered and die without a place to be buried.

"General......

Millions of soldiers had red eyes, clutched their weapons tightly, their eyes widened, and they were moved by what Dong Yong had done.

"For the scale country, for the family, for the faith, and fight with the enemy. Dong Yong raised his bloody hand high, his face was hideous, and he let out a feverish laugh.

"Fight! Fight!"

Millions of soldiers raised their weapons, their faces flushed.

"Pass the book to order, open the city gates, and go to war. ”

Dong Yong continued to order, as soon as these words came out, there were several blocking sounds, and several lieutenants stood up, knelt on the ground and said: "General, the city wall is the top priority of defense, we go out of the city to fight, not ......"

"What's not?"

Dong Yong's eyes sank, and he shouted loudly: "Ben will make a blood oath, do you think Ben will do something unfavorable?"

"The last general will not dare!"

Several lieutenants shook their heads, not daring to refute.

"Deputy General Wang listened to the order, led an army of 100,000, and went out of the city to meet the battle, remember, he was active in the city. Seeing that no one objected, Dong Yong ordered one after another.

"No!"

A dignified general stood up, and without hesitation, transferred down the tower and dispatched his army.

Creak!

The three city gates opened, the horse's hooves shook, and the deputy general Wang led the soldiers to gallop out, lined up outside the city wall, and hunted with banners, looking very mighty.

"Are you crazy to give such an order?"

Cheng Chuan knew Dong Yong better, and stood up and scolded angrily in a low voice, the voice was so loud that no one could hear it from a step away.

"Sacrificing tens of thousands of people can be exchanged for the safety of millions of people, it's worth it!" Dong Yong's face did not change, and he said coldly: "After they sacrifice, I will play the court and give a generous burial!"

Cheng Chuan opened his mouth and didn't say anything more, but his face was a little complicated, 100,000 lives, this is not a lot of money.

It's 100,000 families......
