Chapter 41: The Battle of the Seven Days (2)
The second day of the Battle of Luogudan.
The high-pitched and anxious sound of the trumpet suddenly resounded throughout Luokudan on the eve of dawn.
The tired Pogusa rose from his throne the moment he heard the sound of the trumpet, and took his sword.
Pogusa strode down from his throne, his robe dragging the ground and dusting it.
Srdo, who had not slept for the fourth day, was still standing in front of the map, thinking of a good way to relieve the siege of Luogudan.
Pogusa's pace was extremely hurried, but he still paused a little not far from Srdo: "My beloved, Rogudan has also been in trouble, and the valiant kingdom is not afraid of any danger. But as a king, I don't want to lose a competent and loyal counselor. ”
Srdo didn't have any expression, and he didn't even raise his head: "Your Royal Highness, compared to the staff officers of other empires, I am definitely the stupidest one, Luo Gu Dan has always been known for his bravery, but at this moment, how I hope to use my strategy to make our knights shed less hot blood." ”
Pogusa's brow furrowed, and he wanted to say something more, but the sound of the trumpet did not allow him to linger any longer as a king.
Pogusa drew his sword and strode out of the palace.
At this time, it was not yet dawn in Luogudan, and the torches outside the palace reflected Pogusa's battle robe bright red.
Srdo looked at Pogusa's departing back, his eyes gradually clouded by cloudy tears.
"The city of Logudan must not be breached, the blood of Pogusa has not yet been inherited, you must return triumphantly, Your Highness the King. Srdo dragged his tired body away from the war map and walked towards the throne instead......
"Diaypuos!" Sil-As, who had been holding his ground, was commanding the elves in battle.
The outer city wall of Luogu Dan was full of black eagles, and below the city were black and oppressive beast shield soldiers.
Elven arrows can pierce the heart of a black vulture, but they can't hit the orc soldiers hiding behind their shields.
Cunning black vultures hover over the walls and wait for an opportunity to attack the elves on the walls.
And the knights who guarded the elves did their duty as knights - guards.
The sharp elven eyes of Silace were able to accurately catch the flaws of the orc shield soldiers under the city in the darkness, and the delicate elven arrows shot from the longbow of Silace, hitting the eye of an orc shield soldier without deviation.
Pogusa had arrived with another group of knights to reinforce him.
The appearance of the king was undoubtedly the greatest encouragement to the knights.
"For the heroic Horseman! For the sake of Luogudan!" the battle cry rang out from the blood, and the heroic knights became even more unstoppable.
Pogusa rushed to Silace's side, and as he looked under the walls, he asked, "How's the battle going?" ”
Silace replied as he shot his bow and arrows, "Not optimistic, my lord. This is definitely not all the strength of the beasts, they are preparing for the attack in the future!"
As Silace was answering, a scream from the elves came from the side.
Pogusa strode over, while Syl-Ace held on to his archer's heart and continued to shoot downward.
Pogusa frowned at the elf's injuries, the attack from the vulture-carrying black vulture claw was extremely difficult to heal.
And on the city wall, there is no one who has been injured by the sneak attack of the black vulture.
Pogusa shouted loudly, "Guardian Elves and Rogodan!"
The knights had always regarded it as their duty to guard them, but on the eve of dark dawn, they could not see the black eagle vulture hidden in the shadows.
Both elves and orcs have the ability to perceive things in the dark, even when there is no light, they can see everything clearly.
The orc siege force had erected the long ladder, and the heavy ladder hung from the wall like a blade stuck in the knight's body.
A large number of orcs in armor frantically climbed the ladder, and the knights smashed down with boulders while slashing at everything that attacked Rakudan.
Seeing that the orcs had successfully set up the ladder on the wall, the hordes of black vultures began to fly towards the inner city of Luogudan.
Silace found out all this and told Pogusa about the situation.
Pogusa slashed at the orcs who had attacked the walls as he looked in the direction of the inner city.
"My people......" Bogusa's expression was extremely serious, he knew that what he was doing now was not only to protect Middle-earth, but also to protect his own people as the king of Rogudan.
The remaining black vultures flew like a tide towards the inner city, and the knights of Pogusa were too weak to fight on two fronts......
However, torches suddenly lit on the inner city walls.
Pogusa squinted at the battle against the Black Vulture not only among the civilians who had volunteered to defend it, but also at his loyal subordinate, Srdo.
Pogusa roared, the sword and armor of the king's sword stained with the blood of the orcs.
At this time, the elves were running out of bows and arrows, and Silace ordered all the archers to draw their swords and fight in Elven language.
The graceful elf swings his sword between darkness and blood, and every slash is a combination of grace and ferocity.
Just as the battle was raging, the orcs' horns suddenly sounded.
Hordes of orcs retreated from the city walls, while those who did not attack the walls also retreated, keeping a certain distance from the outer walls of Luogudan.
The knights and elves of Pogusa looked at the retreating orcs and wondered.
And the black vultures that were constantly attacking in the inner city also hovered into the air, hiding in the dark night.
Pogusa frowned and looked at the slowly retreating orc soldiers under the city: "Why ......?"
Before Pogusa's question could be spoken, several loud explosions suddenly rang out from inside the city walls.
In an instant, the once solid walls crumbled like a collapsed embankment.
Most of the knights were trapped in the scattered boulders, buried in dust and sand.
Despair instantly took over Pogusa's heart, and just as the king of Logoudan was about to fall, Sil-Ace grabbed Pogosa in the air.
Agile elves tend to deal with sudden situations much better than humans.
The elven archers tried to save the knights around them as best they could, just as the knights guarded them on the city walls.
In the dust, the surviving Rogudan guardians retreated towards the inner city.
Finally, the dawn came, but the light of the moment was meaningless.
The orcs retreated like a tidal wave in the darkness.
When the smoke of the gunpowder was swept away by the howling winds of the Northland, the collapsed city wall was in ruins, and in the ruins, huge insects and beasts were spraying venom everywhere.
It was the black worms brought by the dark crow that caused the outer city of Luogu Dan to fall, they burrowed through the cracks in the city wall, and after being nourished by witchcraft, they grew rapidly, and gave Luo Gu Dan the most painful blow at this critical moment.
Srdo on the inner city wall shed tears again, as a staff officer, he could not do anything at the moment.
There were only seven or eight hundred knights left, and there were only six or seven thousand elven archers left from the original tens of thousands.
Pogusa broke his promise to Filasr, but the elves paid with their lives, and although both Pogusa and Filasr, as rulers, knew that the war could not be completely undamaged, they both hoped that the blood would always be the enemy.
Pogusa did not shed tears, as a king, he must hold on, not only to Logoudan and his people, but also to his heart wounded by war.
The huge insects and beasts were still spraying venom in the ruins, and the elves drew their longbows and shot their last remaining arrows at the insects.
In the purple venom, the root of all evil that destroyed the walls also paid the price.
Pogusa ordered the remaining warriors to retreat to the inner city.
In the sad daylight, Pogusa, Silace, and Staff Officer Srdo slowly left the defensive line, and they had to reconsider the deployment......
At this moment, Eramos was still asleep, the warm sunlight shining through the dusty air on his old face, but the cold and frost still could not recede from his body......
