Chapter 141: Abandoning the City

Under the desperate resistance of the demon soldiers defending the city, Guan Pass held out for two more days under the attack of the Terran army, buying precious time for the evacuation of non-combatants.

After the human soldiers receded like a tide again in the evening, Jin Hao estimated that the time for the human race to launch an all-out siege of the city would probably be within a day or two.

In the early hours of the morning, Jin Hao handed over the "Captain of Boiled" to him and said: "Sprinkle the fire oil we have prepared in time on the lowest level, and tell the soldiers defending the city that we need to evacuate. ”

"Yes, General." , "Captain Cook" has to order to do something.

Early the next morning, Jin Hao stood at the head of the city, only to see the human coalition army surging menacingly and starting the siege again.

"It would be nice to be a little softer defensively today." , Jin Hao told the soldiers defending the city, although the demon soldiers didn't quite understand what was going on, but since the main generals had ordered so, they had no choice but to do it.

In the distance, Halkenbrugg found that today's casualties were much lighter than usual, so he guessed that this was because the demon soldiers defending the city were sleepy, and immediately ordered more soldiers to be sent to press on it, striving to make a contribution in one fell swoop.

Countless human soldiers poured into the urn city, Jin Hao waved his hand, ordered the soldiers at the head of the city to evacuate the defense area, and at the same time asked the archers who were responding in the rear to step up the rhythm to suppress to cover the retreat of the defenders.

After the last soldier also walked down the city tower, Jin Hao lit a rocket, sighed softly, put it on the strong bow and let go and folded it out, and was igniting the fire oil sprinkled in the urn city, the fire turned the entire urn city into a sea of fire at an almost unresponsive speed, and countless screams were mixed in it, but Jin Hao was not far away and continued to watch, immediately jumped off the city, rode on the horses that had been arranged below, and led dozens of rangers to go.

Outside the city, Halkenbrugg saw the smoke billowing from a distance, and hurriedly asked, "What happened in the city?" ”

At this moment, the general in charge of the command of the former enemy personally came to Halkenbrugg and said with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, the enemy set a fire before evacuating, and the soldiers who attacked the city are afraid that all the soldiers who have attacked it will fall into it. ”

"Huh?" , Halkenbrugg hurriedly said: "Send someone to put out the fire!" ”

"I don't know what method the enemy uses to burn a fire out of thin air, and this fire is so evil that no matter how much water is poured on it, it will not be extinguished."

"What about the enemy?" , Halkenbrugg hurriedly asked.

"When we climbed up to the top of the city, we saw that they had all ridden away." , the general I said.

"Then don't send someone to chase after you!!" , said Halkenbrugg hysterically.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to chase, but I really can't catch up, now that the urn city is on fire, we can only climb the ladder to the top of the city now, but this person can go up and don't go immediately......"

"Needless to say." , Halkenbrugg sat on the horse with a calm face, and many generals around him were silent, for fear that the prince who was now stimulated would do something irrational.

The screams in the city gradually ceased, and the human army fell into an eerie silence, and finally after a long silence, the heralds came to inform them that the fire in the city had been extinguished.

"Guards, follow me to hunt down the fleeing demons." , Halkenbrugg gave an order, and led the elite cavalry of the guards through the city and chased in the direction of Jin Hao and the others.

What Halkenbrugg was thinking about at this moment was with his elite horses, even if the other party ran for a while, it would not be difficult to catch up.

But he didn't run far, Halkenbrugg's mount stumbled, and one fell into the trap dug in advance by Jin Hao's order, and the cavalry behind hurriedly reined in his horse to check on the prince's condition.

It is also considered the prince's fate, because the final stage of construction is relatively tense, Jin Hao did not let people arrange the priorities in it, otherwise he would have died at this moment.

However, although there was nothing serious, this time he still threw Halkenbrugg to pieces, and after the Guards cavalry brought him up, it took a while for him to recover, but as soon as he became conscious, Halkenbrugg vomited a mouthful of blood.

He never expected that the enemy would also arrange a trap on the other side of the pass, but this as the commander was sanctioned like this, this time he was a big loser. Thinking of all the previous things, Halkenbrugg was in a hurry, and he hated the demon guards of this city even more.

But now the cavalry could not pursue, and Halkenbrugg, who was still lying in the arms of the guards, shouted: "Quickly clean the pit around here!" Just go!! ”

The soldiers under his command were ordered to do this quickly, and after a while of busy work, they finally found a safe way.

It is a passage located on the right side of the main road, which was specially prepared by Jin Hao for the retreat of his side.

"Hussars, use as fast as you can!! Give me chase!! Kill them all!! Hardenbrugg wasn't completely out of his mind, at least after the fall, he at least knew he couldn't go.

The cavalry that followed behind galloped out after receiving the order, and after sitting on the ground for a while, Halkenbrugg gave an order to the generals in charge of the battalions, asking them to lead their troops to raid the nearby demon towns.

The generals are also helpless, they have countless casualties in this battle, all they have gained is an empty city burned to pitch black, and it is difficult for the enemy to catch up with this situation, even if they can catch up, it is difficult to win. It would be good to be able to slaughter some demon civilians to regain some psychological balance and face.

But what made them collapse the most was that the various ministries searched the deep area around here, and they only found pieces of demon villages and towns that had long been empty. The cavalry sent out was also ambushed on the way to the pursuit and suffered heavy losses.

When the generals reported dejectedly, Halkenbrugg fainted after hearing the news, and the generals present hurriedly called the military doctor to check the situation.

"The prince's body is fine, and he should be in too much of a hurry to do so." , the doctor said after looking at it.

The generals present were also silent, in fact, they could probably guess the cause of the prince's illness, and it was not difficult to cure this disease, as long as the army could have a small victory that could retreat with dignity. But where is this so easy, the other party's demon generals' use of troops is simply a last resort, and they haven't even gotten a little bit of cheapness.

Jin Hao still missed a little in the end, he thought that they would naturally retreat if they beat the human race, but he didn't take into account the problem at the level of Halkenbrugg, and now he completely mobilized the prince's hatred.
