Chapter Thirty-Four: Belated Support
Although he killed Liu Tu, Su Lie is still very angry and blames himself.
If Liu Tu had been dealt with earlier, maybe he would have been able to ask for help smoothly, and he would not have lost so many brothers today.
Su Lie really didn't expect that Liu Tu and the forces behind him, for their own interests, would abandon the lives of so many guards and soldiers!
Therefore, Liu Tu must die this time, otherwise more people may die in the future.
This time the demon seed attacked the city, and the bow and arrow battalion also suffered heavy losses, and less than one-sixth of the soldiers survived, and they were all busy cleaning up the battlefield at this time, and not many people noticed that Su Lie had killed someone.
Even the soldiers who noticed this scene pretended not to see it at this time.
Su Lie is kind-hearted and has a very high reputation in the army, while Liu Tu always likes to find fault when he has nothing to do, and many soldiers reject him from their hearts.
But he was a prisoner, and the soldiers didn't dare to show it too obviously.
Now that Liu Tu has been killed, these soldiers are even applauding in their hearts.
"The demon seed attacked the city, and Liu Jianjun led his entourage to fight to the death, and unfortunately died. Come on, let Liu Jianjun enter the ground as soon as possible. Looking at the corpse in front of him, Su Lie spoke lightly.
When several soldiers next to him heard this, they were already complaining in their hearts.
If I hadn't seen you kill someone, I would have almost thought that what you said was true......
Okay, what the chief says is what he says, just don't kill people.
Looking at Su Lie's serious expression, several soldiers came over with a hard head, and then tremblingly moved the bodies of Liu Tu and his entourage down and buried them together with the soldiers who died in battle.
Not long had passed, and a force had arrived from behind the Great Wall, led by a middle-aged fat man, who was panting and ascending the walls of the Great Wall.
Looking at the dilapidated scene in front of him, the middle-aged fat man couldn't help but gasp.
Not far away, the corpses that had not had time to be buried were all burned beyond recognition by the fire and piled up into a small mountain.
And beyond the Great Wall...... That's the real purgatory on earth!
The field was densely packed with corpses, both demonic and human, all charred and blackened by the fire, and an extremely strange smell filled the air, disgusting.
If you just look at the number of demon seeds dead, then this battle to defend the city is undoubtedly a big victory.
But the Great Wall Guards don't think so, they never feel the joy of winning the battle in the war against the demon seeds.
Yes, it's just the joy of the rest of the life after the catastrophe, and the sadness of the death of comrades-in-arms!
The demon seed is just a group of beasts, even if they all die, can they exchange for their comrades-in-arms who get along day and night?
The middle-aged fat man looked around a few times, as if he was looking for something, but he didn't seem to be able to find it.
After that, he withdrew his gaze and walked towards Su Lie.
He had received news of Su Lie's request for help before, but in the same way, he also received Liu Tu's order not to send reinforcements.
After that, he intercepted the scouts who were delivering the message.
It can be said that the Great Wall Guards suffered heavy casualties this time for his reasons.
As for bringing the troops over now, it was Liu Tu who estimated that the guards would suffer heavy losses after seeing the demon seed coming to attack the city, so he flew a pigeon and passed the book, asking him to lead the troops over, and make a move at a critical moment to turn the tide of the battle.
Then let's see if Su Li'an can be charged with ineffective garrison and impeached from his position as commander.
"General Su Lie, why didn't you see Liu Jianjun?" The middle-aged fat man went straight to the point.
"The demon seed attacked the city, Liu Jianjun led his entourage to fight to the death, and he was unfortunately killed...... Su Lie's face was sad, so that the middle-aged fat man did not have the slightest doubt.
Of course, anyone who sees the fiasco of the Great Wall at this time will probably not doubt what Su Lie said.
Without a certain strength, it is very difficult to survive such a war......
The strength of Liu Tu and his entourage is not very strong.
Immediately afterwards, Su Lie asked, "It's General Hu, what do you mean by bringing troops over now?" If I remember correctly, I sent a message asking for help four days ago, why are you leading the army here now? ”
The middle-aged fat man's name was Hu Jian, and the city he was stationed in was the closest to the Great Wall, less than five hours' walk away.
Therefore, after receiving Liu Tu's flying pigeon transmission, he came in the fastest time.
"Asking for help?" Hu Jian looked surprised and said, "I have received a request for help recently, and it was sent by Liu Jianjun today. ”
Of course, he couldn't admit that he had received Su Lie's request for help before, and he also detained the scout who delivered the letter, which was a big crime.
"Then ask General Hu to take the troops back, the demon seed has been killed and retreated, you are too late!" In the last sentence, Su Lie deliberately accentuated his tone and expressed his dissatisfaction.
After speaking, Su Lie didn't bother to say more to Hu Jian, otherwise he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and slaughter the other party again.
"General Su, after receiving the news from Liu Jianjun, I came with my brothers non-stop, but it was still too late...... All I can say is that I'm very sorry. Hu Jian's face was full of apologies, and Su Lie almost believed his nonsense.
Then, he continued: "Since you're here, you have to do something, right?" Let my brethren help clean up the battlefield. ”
He had already felt the dissatisfaction in Su Lie's tone, Liu Tu had been killed, and he had lost his mind for a while, so he wanted to stay and help and ease the tense atmosphere between the two sides.
Su Lie ignored him anymore, and he didn't come when he asked for help.
Right now...... Hehe!
However, after the battle, the soldiers of the guard army were already physically and mentally exhausted, and it would be good to have someone to help......
……
With the addition of Hu Jian's soldiers, the speed of cleaning up the battlefield has accelerated a lot.
A few hours later, the corpses on the walls were all cleaned up.
The corpses outside the Great Wall have also been cleaned up a lot, and the corpses of those demon seeds in the distance are left alone for the time being, and they can be left behind and cleaned up slowly to prevent the plague from spreading.
Su Lie ordered that the guards could be disbanded and go back to rest, and Hu Jian did not bring his troops back after that.
The Great Wall Guards are now suffering heavy losses, and he has brought all his subordinates with him, and he must have helped defend them.
Otherwise, if the demon seed broke through the Great Wall at this time, his ten heads would not be enough to cut off.
Only by keeping the Great Wall can the Heluo Empire have a stable rear, and all behaviors that are not conducive to the stability of the empire are big crimes!
The guards all went back to rest, including some of the soldiers under Hu Jian's command, and they also returned to the guard camp.
Because there were so many dead soldiers on the side of the guards, the camp did not appear to be very crowded, and even looked more empty than usual.
As soon as he entered the camp, Hu Jian and his soldiers felt a sad and depressing aura rushing towards them.
On the wall of the Great Wall, Su Lie quietly looked at the dark clouds in front of him.
Behind him, Shen Mengxi, Kai, Li Xin, Jia Luo, and Bai Li stood in a row.
"Alas, everyone......" Su Lie sighed, just about to say something......
That's it! A dazzling flash of thunder suddenly flashed in the depths of the desert in the clouds.
A moment later, there was a muffled thunderstorm, one after another, as if the world was destroyed!
Su Lie, Kai, Shen Mengxi, and Li Xin didn't know what was going on, but they also felt that something was wrong.
Only Shirauri and Garo glanced at each other, seeing the panic in each other's eyes.
Over there, in the direction of the valley where the Juggernaut Awakening is!
