Chapter 940, a thought

The clenched fists looked a little blue at this moment, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept coming out of Du Yuanzhi's forehead.

There is no doubt that at this moment, he is under tremendous psychological pressure.

How the battle on the wall went, he didn't know for the time being.

However, the battle at the city gate was obviously untenable.

The moment the two waves of people collided completely, the cannon could no longer fire.

The attacks of the rear troops were also limited to a certain extent.

If they continue to fight like this, they will definitely lose the battle at the city gate.

"Retreat?"

This thought flashed through Du Yuanzhi's mind.

As soon as their side retreated, the stone steps leading to the top of the wall would be exposed to the Europa army's range of movement.

In other words, the Europa soldiers who stormed the city could go straight to the top of the wall through the stone steps.

At that time, Guo Zhen and the soldiers of the garrison troops on the wall will probably have to suffer from the front and back.

But if they don't retreat, how long can they hold out in the current situation?

His brain spun at high speed, and his gaze quickly swept over the mages of the mage unit.

After casting multiple spells one after another, due to the large consumption of mana, the mages' faces were already a little pale at this time.

The mage troops did not come easily.

His Majesty the Emperor first selected candidates from an entire civilization of the Ten Thousand Worlds, and then it took several years to cultivate this army.

In this battle, if a batch is directly broken, the losses will inevitably be too heavy.

In the flash of thought, Du Yuanzhi planned to let the mage troops evacuate from the front line first.

Anyway, if the fight continues, the mage troops whose mana is close to exhaustion will no longer be able to continue to provide combat power.

It would be wise to let them retreat in time to ensure the safety of this force.

However, just when Du Yuanzhi was about to give the order, an unexpected situation happened.

With a loud elephant chirping, a heavy footstep suddenly came from the central avenue of Gaoling City behind the defending troops!

Hearing this voice, Du Yuanzhi's heart jumped violently and he quickly turned around.

I saw that on the central avenue behind, huge figures were rushing towards them all the way.

"Reinforcements, reinforcements from Oasis City have arrived!!"

Oasis City's special troops, war elephant troops, arrived in time! After a burst of lunging, it crashed directly into the battlefield in the city gate area.

With a full thirty war elephants, their almost brutal strength can be said to have brought huge variables to the battle situation at the city gate in an instant!

The rampage of war elephants, while threatening the Europa soldiers with death, also made them feel helpless.

The brutal force can easily take their lives and deal a heavy blow to the morale of the Europa army!

Seeing this scene, Owen's heart throbbed hard.

Obviously, he didn't expect that this Celestial Empire player would still have a large war unit called War Elephant in his hands!

This special class is not easy to deal with.

At present, the morale of the army under his command has obviously plummeted all the way due to the appearance of a large number of war elephants.

Gritting his teeth, in the face of such an irreversible situation, Owen knew that he had no choice, and when those two words were squeezed out of his teeth, Owen's entire face was completely distorted.

"Retreat, retreat ......"

The horn of the retreat of the Europa army sounded quickly.

At this moment, Allen, who was commanding his soldiers to fight on the wall, instantly realized that something was wrong below.

There was no love war, he decisively gave the order to retreat, and then grabbed the cloud ladder and slid down directly, quickly breaking away from the wall of Gaoling City.

The soldiers of the Europa army fled in disarray.

With the might of thirty war elephants, the defending troops symbolically pursued and killed the city.

After seeing that the other party had completely fled, he withdrew to Gaoling Castle.

Subsequently, the gates of Kaolin City were quickly closed.

After that breath was relieved, many of the soldiers who had lost their strength collapsed on the spot.

A battle has been fought to this point, and they are all almost at the limit.

The rear platoon, who was still in good physical condition, was instructed to clean up the corpses near the city gate, and medical soldiers were called in to treat the wounds.

After arranging a series of things, Du Yuan arched his hand at Sha Yi, the general of the war elephant army, with a grateful face.

"This time it is really thanks to General Sha Yi's timely arrival, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable."

"Staff Officer Du is polite."

As he spoke, the middle-aged general named Sha Yi hugged his fists at Du Yuanzhi.

"If I really want to talk about this matter, it is also Staff Officer Du's prediction, if I hadn't received an urgent report from Staff Officer Du, I wouldn't have rushed over with the war elephant troops on a rapid march overnight."

Hearing this, Du Yuanzhi showed a trace of shame on his face.

"The four words of knowing things are like gods, Du is really ashamed, no matter what, Du is here to thank General Sha Yi for the soldiers and people of Gaoling City."

This matter is also simple, the moment he realized that Owen was fighting a war of attrition with them, Du Yuanzhi knew that the opponent must still have a hole card in his hand that was not played.

Just in case, he naturally hoped that the reinforcements from Oasis City and Xiyuan City would arrive as soon as possible.

When the time comes, the troops in Gaoling City will be assembled, and the army on the opposite side of the invasion war, even if they really have any powerful hole cards, they will be able to see the moves.

With this in mind, Du Yuanzhi sent two messengers, riding fast horses all the way, and rushed along the highway day and night to report to the reinforcements who were halfway through.

The reinforcements from the two cities who received the report naturally did not dare to slack off.

That's why there was the scene just now.

Of course, the reinforcements of the two cities are naturally more than one war elephant troops.

It's just that the war elephant troops have excellent physical strength, and they arrived as quickly as possible after a rapid march.

The infantry units in Oasis City arrived half a day later than the war elephant troops.

After that, reinforcements from Nishihara Castle arrived at Takamine Castle in the evening of the next day.

The arrival of 4,000 reinforcements gave Du Yuanzhi and Guo Zhen a lot of confidence.

However, after that, probably knowing that he had no chance, Owen did not continue to launch a new offensive.

Instead, he hid far away with the remaining forces under his command.

In this wave of siege warfare, he can be said to be completely planted, but at the same time he is more depressed!

Although there is a feeling of dying to save face and suffer crimes, a large part of the reason for this wave of defeat is bad luck.

For example, the tactic of breaking through the city with an ironclad car, and then letting the heavy infantry hiding in the car kill in the city.

This is his killer weapon, and the hoplites are also his trump card troops.

As a result, it hit the cannon on the opposite side head-on......

Not to mention that all the ironclad vehicles were reimbursed, and the heavy infantry also suffered heavy casualties.

Owen didn't think that the other party saw through his plan, he could only say that the other side had gone luck!

This is especially true when reinforcements arrive in time, and there are a large number of war elephants, which is obviously not a small element of luck.

Thinking of this, Owen couldn't help but pull his full head of blonde hair a little franticly.

"Grass! Zhente Niang's bad luck!! ”
