0731 Cao Yijian's challenge
This scene abounds on the battlefield, and the bravery of the demon soldiers and the determination to pull the enemy to the end are terrifying.
Obviously, the soldiers of Cold Iron City also made the same mistake as before, and the battle damage ratio was rising rapidly.
Fortunately, there were clever generals who quickly learned the way to fight in Beacon City, gathered his men and began to gouge through the enemy army.
Only then did the battle damage gradually stop, and the demon clan fell into a bitter battle, if they didn't know that there was no way out, they would have collapsed long ago.
The fierce battle continued, and to everyone's surprise, even the Heavenly Demon Shuai participated in the battle, but Su Zhe always stood tall in front of the city.
Of course, as Su Zhe is the commander-in-chief, naturally no one will ask him to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy, but he just thinks that if he makes a move, the battle can end faster.
……
Outside the Tianmen Pass, the battle situation became more and more tragic, and the elite soldiers of the demon clan began to appear in the beast tide.
The pressure on the three-collar soldiers on the ground was increasing, and even with a circular battle formation, large-scale deaths began to appear.
After all, the demon soldiers are far from being comparable to the demon beasts with only low intelligence, and they will not stand there stupidly waiting to be hacked to death.
Attacks in the circle will not effectively kill them, they will dodge and dodge, and they will also wait for an opportunity to attack and destroy the formation.
Fortunately, the battle array was both offensive and defensive, and it was not something that the demon soldiers could easily break, and the battle situation fell into a stalemate for a while.
The death toll has risen dramatically, and the battlefield is littered with corpses, making it a veritable meat grinder.
Cao Yijian stood on the city wall with his hands behind his back, his eyes condensed into a glow, and he looked at the three figures slowly rising from the demon clan's station, finally, is it going to start?
The vast horn sounded, the demon beast retreated like a tide, and the Terran soldiers gasped for breath, seizing the time to recover their strength.
"What's going on? Did the demon clan retire? ”
A bloodstained soldier asked with red eyes, there were only a dozen people left in his hundred-man battle formation, and it was estimated that he would collapse after another round of attacks.
Escaping death made him very hopeful that this war would end as soon as possible.
"How is that possible, see for yourself."
The comrade-in-arms next to him, who had a broken arm, looked into the distance with a pale face.
The soldier followed his line of sight, his face suddenly turned extremely pale, and his voice trembled and said in despair: "The elite of the demon clan. ”
On the flat ground in the distance, elite soldiers of the demon clan with different shapes lined up in a neat phalanx with scale armor on their heads, horns on the top of their heads, or wings on their ribs.
Swords are like forests, guns are like rain, and the cold iron armor shines brightly under the reflection of the sun.
The sheer number is too large to see, not tens of millions, but eight million.
The Terran soldiers were all desperate and their morale was low, and only tens of thousands of demon soldiers participated in the battle before, which brought them huge casualties.
With so many elite soldiers of the demon race, what do we Terrans use to resist?
Everyone couldn't help but look towards the city wall, wanting to see the figure that they had high hopes for.
But only Cao Yijian's figure stood alone on the head of the city, looking so weak.
"Mingjin retreats!" Cao Yijian's face was flat and he gave an order.
"General, if you collect the troops, the demon clan will go directly to the city, and you can't hold it at all just by relying on the formation."
The commanders were blood-stained robes, and although their hearts trembled, they still couldn't help but open their mouths to persuade.
After all, as long as the warriors are still holding on to the city, the demon clan will not attack the city directly without hindrance.
Although the chance of being able to hold it is slim, it is better than giving up resistance directly like this and relying on the defense of the city protection array.
Cao Yijian's voice was slightly cold: "Execute the order, I don't want to say it a second time!" ”
"General......" One of the commanders wanted to persuade again, but was stopped by the other commanders, and they had already heard the unquestionable categorization in Cao Yijian's tone.
"Yes, General!" The commanders informed the heralds that the golden gong had been sounded.
The warriors outside the city breathed a sigh of relief and slowly retreated towards the city on alert.
The demon soldiers did not attack, but stood quietly in the distance, as if they were demonstrating, and as if they were on standby.
"What is the General trying to do? How can you just rely on the city protection formation to guard the Tianmen Pass. ”
The commander who persuaded Cao Yijian complained quietly.
"Okay, let's not say a word, the military order cannot be violated, since the general ordered the withdrawal of troops, he must have his plans."
Another commander who had befriended him advised.
"What can you do? Without the soldiers to hold the defense line, the demon soldiers are under the city, and a few rounds of attacks can break through the city defense, how to defend the Tianmen Pass? ”
The Commander retorted unconvinced.
"We are a commander, whatever General Cao says, just do it, who dares to disobey General Cao's military orders."
The other commander sighed.
"I think it's hard to hold the gate of heaven." Other commanders said pessimistically.
"Hey, what's the handsome? I haven't seen Dashuai since yesterday? If the marshal were here, he would definitely oppose General Cao's order. ”
One of the Commanders suddenly let out a startled sigh and asked strangely.
"Yes, you don't say I forgot, what about the handsome man? Wouldn't you still be resting? ”
The other commanders had been directing the battle, and after being reminded, they suddenly found that Su Zhe had not appeared at this moment.
"I don't know, since the big marshal got out of the city gate yesterday, I haven't seen him again, can't he leave?"
", leave at this time, isn't that a joke? Impossible, how could the big marshal leave at this time. ”
"I don't think so, don't forget, the battlefield is not just us, I received a battle report before, and Cold Iron City and Beacon City have also started a war with the demon clan."
"I also heard that it is said that the three major demon kings of the demon clan have all gone to Cold Iron City and Beacon Fire City, and it is very likely that the marshal will rush over."
…… The commanders said nonsense, the more they talked, the more panicked they became, and the more pessimistic they became, in their hearts, Su Zhe was the invincible commander.
Although Cao Yijian's prestige is also very high, he is far from being able to compare with Su Zhe.
The Dinghai Divine Needle in their hearts was not in the Tianmen Pass, and this realization made them more and more panicked.
"If you really can't do it, give up the Tianmen Pass and retreat to Twilight and Snowfall to defend the second line of defense."
One of the Commanders said thoughtfully.
", Tianmen Pass has natural dangers to collect, Twilight City and Snowfall City can't hold it at all, and giving up Tianmen Pass is simply looking for death."
Another Commander disagreed.
"Yes, the gate of heaven can't be guarded, and Twilight and Snowfall are even more hopeless."
The Commanders were very pessimistic, and the atmosphere spread outward like a plague, quickly affecting everyone else, and making everyone panic.
Especially when he knew that Su Zhe was not in the Tianmen Pass, this pessimistic mood was quickly amplified infinitely, making morale more and more low.
"Ask for help, by the way, ask for help from the Second and Third Legions, the three major legions are holding on to Tianmen Pass, and I can't hold it."
One of the commanders pondered for a long time, and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Where is the time, although Twilight City and Snowfall City are not far away, it is not a matter of time and a half for the army to travel, and by the time they arrive, Tianmen Pass has already fallen."
There is a commander who directly pours cold water.
"That's not necessarily, we went to plead with the general and sent men and horses to hold out outside the city, not necessarily when reinforcements arrived."
The commander did not give up, and proposed.
"Yes, let's go and beg the general to change his mind."
"Okay, let's go together, if the law doesn't blame the public, I don't believe that General Cao can cut off our heads."
"Go together, go together!"
…… The commanders shouted, and rushed to the walls.
Just as they were about to report to Cao Yijian the method they had come up with, they suddenly felt three earth-destroying breaths appear in the air.
Everyone looked up in shock, and suddenly their hearts fell to the bottom, and the three demon kings stood in the air like gods, and the terrifying coercion shrouded the Tianmen Pass.
The purple light in the purple-eyed leopard king's eyes flashed: "Give you a stick of incense time to surrender the city, otherwise when we lay the Tianmen Pass, we will slaughter the city." ”
Cao Yijian was shocked by the terrifying coercion and had difficulty breathing, he forcibly took a breath, and his body exuded an indestructible sword intent, which barely resisted the coercion.
stared coldly at the three terrifying figures in mid-air, "If you have the ability, come and fight, surrender, impossible!" ”
"I'd rather die than surrender!"
The Ten Commanders were not targeted by coercion, and they could still speak with difficulty, and roared with a red face and a thick neck.
"I'd rather die than surrender!" A hundred captains roared in unison.
"I'd rather die than surrender!" The Thousand Commanders also let out a beastly roar.
"I'd rather die than surrender!" Ten thousand centurions and a million warriors roared in unison, and the sound was earth-shattering and shook the wilderness.
The faces of the three demon kings sank, and the purple-eyed leopard king smiled gloomily: "It's really stubborn, since that's the case, then wait for us to slaughter the city!" ”
Cao Yijian suddenly raised his head, and his eyes burst with infinite battle intent: "The demon clan invades, the lives are ruined, if you continue to fight like this, whether it is the human race or the demon race, it will be greatly damaged, you dare to accept the challenge of my human race, three battles on the victory or defeat, if you can win two games, my human race will withdraw from the Tianmen Pass, if you lose, immediately hand over the northern desert, return to the heavenly demon mountain, and never invade." ”
The three demon kings glanced at each other, and their hearts were quite moved, the human race is united, Tianmen Pass is a dangerous pass, even if Tianmen Pass is really captured, the loss of the demon clan will not be less.
You must know that the demon clan only has four elite million legions, among which the Black Tiger Army is also hidden by the Black Tiger King.
Most of the three elite legions were also taken to the Cold Iron City by the mad lion and others, don't look at the demon clan now looking strong and strong, in fact, only the guards of the three demon kings in the middle can be regarded as elite, and the others are just ordinary corps, and their combat effectiveness is not much stronger than that of the human race, but the demon clan warriors look fat and strong, and they look scary.
The Purple-Eyed Leopard King exchanged views with the two demon kings, shook his head and said: "We can accept your challenge, but I'm sorry, no matter if we win or lose, the war can't end, I can only promise you, if we lose, we can return the Northern Desert and promise not to invade the human race again within three months." ”
"Hmph, the three great demon kings, are you still afraid that you won't be able to lose."
A flash of disappointment flashed in Cao Yijian's eyes, but he was unwilling to speak coldly.
"Boy, the radical method is useless to us, this is the bottom line we can promise, otherwise, see you on the battlefield."
The purple-eyed leopard king is as cunning as a fox, how can he be provoked by Cao Yijian.
King Golden-Winged Peng sneered: "The Terrans have always been insidious and cunning, and our ability to agree to your challenge is already a kind of charity for you. ”
Cao Yijian's eyes flashed with struggle, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it's decided, we will fight to the death in three days." ”
"Hahaha, I want to be beautiful, and I still play a delaying strategy with us, there is no door, if you want to challenge, you can do it now, immediately, immediately."
The three demon kings suddenly burst out laughing and looked at Cao Yijian playfully.
Cao Yijian's face was blue and red, and he roared angrily: "You guys...... This...... This is too unfair, where do we go now, we have to give us a little time, so that I can find a Terran master and fight you to the death. ”
"Time, I think you just want to wait for that Su Zhe to come back, hahaha, it's a pity, we won't give you a chance, if you want to fight, just fight now, if you don't fight, just surrender obediently."
