Chapter 156: The Demon Army Siege the City
Luo Tian was woken up early in the morning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The whole street was full of noise, and when he opened the door angrily, he found that the situation seemed to be very bad.
The streets are full of people with their families, all nervous, and carrying all kinds of belongings, as if they are fleeing.
He was just about to ask someone about it, but he was approached by a team of city guards.
took it to see the city lord's mansion, and on the way, chatted with the captain, and Luo Tian figured out a rough idea.
It's been a long time, it's really alive, Knight Cruise is right, it's indeed the demon army coming!
Moreover, it is not a small unit, but a whole legion of demon army.
Early in the morning, the people of the garrison regiment had just come with the news, and not long after, countless demon armies appeared on the southern plane.
This scene was watched by many caravans who planned to leave the city early in the morning.
Soon, the news of the arrival of the demon army inevitably spread throughout Yuhang Town.
The Demon Army is not a barbarian!
Not to mention well-equipped, it is even better at siege.
What's more important is that the barbarians are weak in the first place, perhaps considering the power of the kingdom, even if they capture Yuhang Town, they may not dare to do anything to the people in the town, at most they will loot the money and kill some people to vent their anger.
And the demon army is different, it is completely inseparable from the Kingdom of Light, and the things in Liaodong have been widely spread at the beginning, especially the rumors that the demons slaughtered the city and slaughtered the town, and cannibalism and flesh were too many!
Therefore, once it was discovered that the demon army had actually come to the front of them, everyone's emotions were swayed by fear, and they couldn't stabilize at all.
As a result, even the townspeople who had not wavered for several days of the barbarian siege of the city had fled on the first day when the demon army had just emerged.
Neither commoners nor nobles seem to be optimistic about the outcome of Yuhang Town.
The nearest and safest north gate to the outside world was directly crowded by caravans and nobles' carriages.
Of course, when Luo Tian heard the news, he was also shocked, his conjecture actually came true, there was really a problem on the side of the Panlong Fortress, and the message that Cruise transmitted was to let Yuhang Town prepare early, or arrange for the people to evacuate or something.
It's a pity that the letter was ruined by Lieutenant Colonel Wang Wei.
Otherwise, the efforts of the past few days should be enough for the entire Yuhang Town to evacuate.
However, the good thing is that he saw through the false face of Lieutenant Colonel Wang Wei in time, if these guys really destroyed the logistics base, and then did some sabotage or something, then Yuhang Town would not even have the qualifications to defend it.
It is precisely because he made a move at a critical time that Hehe can be regarded as indirectly breaking the conspiracy of the demon army, perhaps, Yuhang Town can really hold it.
Luo Tian was smug and came to the City Lord's Mansion.
There are still a few acquaintances in the house discussing countermeasures, Huang Fuying's father and son and Quentin's commander, as well as his own master Gandalf and senior brother Cohen, by the way, there is still this one sitting in the corner, Captain Shen Qi.
Nodding at a few people, after counting it as a salute, Luo Tian silently bowed his head and stood behind his master.
The Huangfu City Lord glanced at Luo Tian, and then turned his gaze to Quentin's side, "Quentin, what's going on over there in the north of the city?"
"Back to the city lord, it's not good, those caravans, especially the nobles, don't obey the command of our city guards at all by virtue of their identity, let alone transfer manpower, they still want us to send people to escort them along the way, and these guys who are greedy for life and afraid of death only care about fleeing with their family property, and don't care about the lives of those civilians at all!" Quentin looked a little angry, " We put forward the request that every carriage out of the city should bring civilians on it, but there are few corresponding ones, and most of the carriages are loaded with property, most of them are overweight and overloaded, and under the crowding of each other, it is easy to block the city gate, and not long after that, Baron Sada and the carriage of the Suncheon Merchant Company were pinned together, and they were blocked for nearly half an hour, and they just sent people to push them away! If this continues, they will not be able to evacuate for another two days......
"What's going on over there with the Demon Army?"
This time it was Huang Fuying who replied, "My cavalry has just gone out of the city to reconnoitre, and there are quite a few people coming, at least more than 100,000, but perhaps in order to march more widely, the vanguard is about several thousand, and they have already camped five kilometers south of the city, and other troops are approaching one after another!"
Huang Fuying said and held down his sword, and looked up at his father and Shen Qi in the corner, "I think, while the demon army is not firmly established, it is necessary for us to attack once, after all, we have a garrison cavalry battalion and a brigade of bright knights, a full two thousand cavalry!
Shen Qi pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Brother Huangfu's opinion is good, I agree!"
And the Quentin Commander frowned and didn't look optimistic.
"We don't know the details of the demon army, and it's very risky to attack rashly! Moreover, we have too few people, and this risk is not worth taking!"
The city lord of Huangfu stroked the scarce short beard on his chin, "Quentin is right, we are easy to be quiet now, we are not easy to move now, full of calculations, the entire Yuhang Town is only less than 5,000 troops, self-protection is still insufficient, if you attack, once you lose, it is equivalent to losing more than ordinary combat power! We have a city wall comparable to a fortress, even if the demon army attacks, it can last for a while, this risk is indeed not worth taking!"
"However, we can gather professionals from the city to help defend the city......"
Huang Fuying still wanted to distinguish a few words, but unfortunately his father stretched out his hand to stop him, "This time is not as good as the last time the barbarians besieged the city, there must be a bloody battle, it is difficult to say how many professionals in the city are willing to obey the arrangement, and besides, let's think of the professionals, it is estimated that those noble lords have also thought of it, these guys who cherish their lives may have issued a notice in the trade union to hire professionals as guards, think about it, if you have money to make, you can save your life and escape, who would want to shed down and fight to the death with the unknown demons?"
Commander Quentin's face was dark, and his tone was a little pessimistic, "My lord is right, it is estimated that there will be no more than a hundred professionals who can be recruited to assist in defending the city this time, and they are all dragged by their families, who doesn't want to save their lives?"
And at this time, Master Gandalf, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly opened his eyes and said with a smile: "This may not be, others may not be able to mobilize, but there is one person, maybe it can." ”
"Oh, is the master going to stand up and call for it personally?" the Huangfu City Lord's eyes flickered, and he said with a smile, "With the identity of the master, it is really possible to do this. ”
"The city lord has misunderstood, it's not the old man!" Gandalf shook his head with a smile, then turned to look behind him.
Luo Tian, who had been wondering how the demon army came here, suddenly realized that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
I couldn't help but be a little surprised, and pointed to myself, "What's the matter? What are you doing with me?!"
The city lord of Huangfu slammed the table, and Luo Tian, who was frightened, shuddered, "Haha, the master is really clever, and Her Royal Highness the Holy Maiden personally instigated it, those enthusiastic young men, they still have to break the threshold of the barracks?"
Only then did Luo Tian understand that he had been doing it for a long time to make himself a recruitment ambassador, and to put it bluntly, it was just a vase.
In my mind, I can't help but have a picture of several girls with heavy makeup and flowers, standing upstairs, waving colorful silk scarves, shouting, "Come on, come on, uncle, it's fun here......"
Hey...... Luo Tian grinned and was disgusted, and the ghost made a god come up with an idea: No, even if it is a vase, Lao Tzu must be a vase with connotation!
