Chapter 981, race against time

The situation at hand can only be described as bad.

At this time, Zhang Luo could only hope that after the infantry troops slowed down, they could enter the city gate passage again and clean up the goblin corpses stuck at the city gate, so that the city gate would fall completely.

Until then, he had to buy time for his soldiers to rest.

Cannons, goblin crossbowmen, and mage troops fired one after another, making the entire gate passage very lively.

After a few rounds of firing, looking at the piles of corpses piled up in the passage of the city gate, the muscles in the corners of Zhang Luo's eyes twitched slightly, and he always felt that things were becoming more and more troublesome.

Before things became irreparable, he felt the need to deal with the gates quickly.

After quickly confirming the status of the infantry troops, Zhang Luo decisively ordered again, ordering the earth mages at the city gate to use the second-order earth spell earth wall technique to plug the gap.

Then let the infantry take the opportunity to rush forward to clean up the corpses of those goblins.

Obviously, this earthen wall technique is not a long-term solution.

The earthen wall technique, in the final analysis, is a spell, and when the mana is exhausted, it will naturally dissipate, not that it really conjures up a wall out of thin air.

At the same time, due to the limited cultivation of junior mages, the effect and defense of the earthen wall technique they cast are relatively average, and it is estimated that they will not be able to stop those crazy goblin slave soldiers for too long, and they must race against time.

The soldiers who rushed into the passage of the city gate obviously knew what was at stake, and at this time, they didn't care whether the corpses with blurred flesh and blood and even internal organs were splashed on the ground were disgusting.

Anyway, you have to dig desperately.

If the part of the corpse on the outside can still be seen to be a corpse, then the inside has basically become a pulp.

After all, the weight of the gate of their hot sand city is not light, and it is not uncommon for so many corpses to be crushed into flesh under heavy pressure.

Digging with weapons is not easy, and the soldiers who have no choice but to go straight to it.

The strange touch of the ten-fingered palms digging deep into the flesh mud made them feel their scalps tingle.

Lumps of meat were constantly being dug out.

And that, combined with the almost suffocating smell of fish.

At this moment, even the veterans of the battlefield one by one dug their faces turned pale.

However, with a mentality that the sooner they finished digging, the sooner they were freed, none of them stopped what they were doing.

I don't know how long it has been since I maintained this nightmare job.

At that moment, in the midst of the flesh, a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed one of the soldiers.

The sudden situation startled the soldier a lot, and the whole person let out an exclamation and bounced directly behind him.

Looking at the hand that was clutching him, a goblin slave soldier covered in flesh and guts pounced directly on him.

In the next second, before he could come back to his senses, the sharp teeth of the goblin slave soldier had already bitten through his neck!

All this happened so quickly that the soldiers who had been enduring this hellish working environment a moment ago were a little unresponsive.

Goblins? Why are there goblins here? Could it be that this goblin was crushed underneath and luckily didn't die?

As this thought arose, the next second, more goblins crawled out of it.

At this moment, the soldiers completely reacted......

"No, no, it's the earthen wall that is responsible for blocking the gap that has been dug through by these goblins! Ahh!!h ”

There was no time to escape.

The goblin slave soldiers, covered in flesh and entrails, seemed to be even more violent than before.

The soldiers, who were physically and mentally exhausted, were powerless to resist in the face of such an attack at this time, and several people were bitten to death by the group of goblins on the spot.

Sensing the situation in the passage of the city gate, Zhang Luo's face as he stood outside also changed suddenly.

"Earthen wall, repair earthen wall!"

While shouting, Zhang Luo quickly looked at the junior earth mages behind him.

As a result, it turned out that the faces of these earth mages were all pale and terrifying at this time.

Among them, the mage, who was the captain, was already hoarse even with his voice......

"No, no, General, it's almost gone! Our mana is running out! ”

A little different from other spells, the Earth Wall Spell, if it needs to be maintained for a long time, it has to be continuously infused with mana by the earth mages.

While they were infusing their mana, the goblin slaves outside were frantically destroying the earthen walls.

This forced the earth mages to dedicate another portion of their mana to repair the damaged part.

Maintaining a double consumption, they are obviously almost at the limit until now!

Zhang Liu, who was also aware of this, felt a sharp increase in the pressure in his heart.

He didn't have time to think about it, he immediately gave a new order.

"All soldiers, hurry up and get out of the city gate!"

But it's too late!

The gates of the city did not fall, and the flesh that was dug up by the soldiers made it easier for the goblin slave soldiers who were blocking outside the city to get in.

In a few breaths, a large number of goblin slave soldiers had already filled the entire passage of the city gate.

In the passage of the city gate, the soldiers who were caught off guard went to touch their weapons as soon as possible and tried to fight back, and the whole scene could be said to be extremely chaotic.

At this moment, Zhang Luo's face had turned pale.

Subconsciously glanced back at the group of soldiers behind him, and then found that the artillerymen operating the cannons, the goblin crossbowmen with crossbows, and the mages of the mage unit were also looking at themselves at a loss.

Obviously, they don't know what to do either!

"What to do? Is it so straightforward? ”

In this case, once the cannon is fired, it will not only kill the goblin slave soldiers! It is equivalent to killing even the soldiers under his own command......

How can he give such an order?

The problem in front of him is almost about to push Zhang Luo into a desperate situation.

Just then, a voice made a decision for him.

"Evacuate! Evacuate everyone!! ”

At the same time as shouting these words, Liu Meng, who was holding a war knife, directly rushed into the area of the city gate passage with a sword and shield army.

After a slash and kill, he saved the infantry unit and gave the order to evacuate again!

There is no doubt that Liu Meng's presence here shows that the wall has fallen.

In just a few moments, a large number of goblin slave soldiers had already rushed down the stone steps of the city wall.

Several soldiers guarding the city gate were killed in an instant.

"Withdraw! Evacuate!! ”

didn't even have time to destroy the city gate organs, Liu Meng gave a retreat order with a loud roar, and led a group of infantry under his command to quickly retreat along the main street of Hot Sand City towards the city gate on the other side!
