Chapter 173: Change generals in battle, appoint Tang Xiao!
Yarman's defeat at White City caused an uproar.
No one expected that the result of the first day of the fierce battle would be like this, except for the destruction of all the arrow towers on the western part of the city wall and the cutting off of a few meters of the city wall, no substantial victory was achieved.
Especially the legion commander Yarman, who swore in front of all the orc generals that Haikou would "take the outer wall in one battle, otherwise he would come to see him".
When he was carried back from the front line, he was so painful that he tugged at the hair on his head and panicked. In order to save face, he roared and ordered the defeated orc team to turn back and continue to storm the walls. But none of the orcs dared to obey his orders anymore. Defeat undermined his prestige. The leaders of the orcs quarreled, and even the most obedient generals were muttering there. Everyone rushed to say, "You are killing our compatriots!" "You're crazy with that kind of attack!"
"You can't fight Gandorf." A strong orc leader said.
Everyone chimed in: "Yes, you can't fight Gandalf." ”
"We can see that they have a mysterious wizard, and the wizard has the same power as King Sauron......" Another orc captain shouted, "How can we compete with him?" ”
Everyone buzzed and said, "That's right, that's right, otherwise where would ordinary humans be so fierce..."
Yarman screamed in despair, "What should I do then! I have promised my lord that I will definitely take down the outer wall of the White City today! ”
The orc generals rolled their eyes and shouted together, "Even if you promise your life to the leader, that's your business!" Just don't sacrifice our lives in vain. If we quarrel again, we might as well tie you up and give it to the chief, maybe he will give us a credit!" ”
……
No matter how much Yarman threatened and intimidated and persuaded him, the orc captains refused to move, repeating like a broken gramophone: "We're not going to die in vain anyway...... You're going to go by yourself...... Terrible wizard...... "These orcs, who were not inferior before the war, are now like frosted eggplants, completely wilted, their hands are soft and their feet are trembling, and they just want to run back."
Fortunately, Tang Xiao was in charge, and the over-the-top ogre cut off the idea of the White City guards wanting to pursue it, although it was a pity that this was a good opportunity to expand the results of the battle, but it was already a miracle in the history of the mainland war to be able to hold the outer wall at a ratio of nearly 1:10.
Defeated and defeated back into the orc army.
Yarman simply bandaged, and an orc herald came in: "Legion Commander, there is an order for you to go to the leader's camp immediately!" ”
Yarman shuddered.
His face was pale, and he didn't notice that the little herald dared to disrespect him as "adult......
The sky was dark and dreary, and the clouds were so low that there was no pre-dawn light at all.
It is a sign that tomorrow will be extremely cloudy.
In front of the open space of the leader's camp and between the tents, the orc generals pushed and shoved clumsily, all of them were very frightened, the wolf warrior anxiously kicked the front hooves, making a burst of annoying hiss, the generals were very short-tempered, stern to the point of complete instability, loudly issuing orders, frightened soldiers ran in and out in a panic.
The faint crackling sound of the torches seemed to be unusually loud, and the air was very dull, filled with a terrifying and oppressive atmosphere.
The order for punishment has come down: six poorly commanded war regiment commanders have been ordered by the leader to immediately cut off their heads:
All of them were the ones who led the team to flee at the end; Fifty-six captains were likewise beheaded, and their heads were now hung high in a long string on the wooden pillars erected in front of the chief's tent; Tens of thousands of orc soldiers watched this spectacular scene in a dense crowd, all of them pale.
Trembling, Yarman walked to the leader's tent and stopped. He was also terrified: the string of heads on the beam, including his own lineage who had laughed at the Black Dragon King and the human race this afternoon. Now they are all hung on it, and the expression of the cracked mouth and teeth seems to be inexplicably angry.
The leader's tent was still open, and the Black Dragon King leaned outside, seemingly showing a faint and strange smile to himself.
It was raining down on Yarman Khan, and it no longer had the slightest desire to be hostile to the Black Dragon King.
On the battlefield, Tang Xiao took the initiative to attack, rescued the precious siege equipment and mammoths for him, and finally made his own palace, if it weren't for the Black Dragon King, this time he would have lost faster and even worse!
"Is it Yarman? In. The chief's muffled voice came from inside the tent, and no anger or other emotion could be heard.
Yarman's eyes were dizzy, and in a trance, he could already imagine what it would be like to have his head hanging on it......
He didn't dare to disobey the leader's order, and gritted his teeth and stepped in.
There was a charcoal fire burning inside, animal skins and a simple map, there was no blood, and compared to the outside, there was a strange sense of warmth.
"Yarman, are you guilty?" The orc leader's face was somewhat shriveled and wrinkled like orange peel.
"I ......" Yarman looked up to say something...... But the slightly thinner orc leader standing behind the leader shook his head lightly......
"I am guilty! Please Chief, cut off my head! Yarman gritted his teeth.
Hum!
The leader slapped heavily on the table in front of him, stood up, and looked disappointed: "Stupid! ”
"Your sin is that as a legion commander, you can't restrain your subordinates and let those orc generals break and flee, which is against the glorious tradition of orcs! Disgrace! ”
"In this battle, you have lost nearly 10,000 compatriots, and you have to make hundreds of elite orcs pay for your stupidity!"
The leader pointed to the densely hung orc heads outside the tent, and his lips trembled a little: "Remove the post of commander of the Yarman Legion, and all the original troops will be under the command of the deputy leader of the Black Dragon King, and the Black Dragon King will lead the siege battle." ”
"This ...... Is this okay? Yarman was already frightened, just now he thought that his head would not be able to be saved, but he did not expect that he was just relieved of his position.
"This is the will of King Sauron." The orc leader waved his hand, as if he had been disappointed in Yarman:
"Lord Sauron observed the second half of the battle, and it pardoned you, for the city was ......"
"Not only Gandalf, but also some of the beings who even feel a little confused, so your failure is not without reason."
"That's right! Is it a human wizard?! Yarman's eyes widened sharply.
"That's not what you should know, Lord Sauron has already discussed with the deputy leader of the Black Dragon King, you just need to obey orders!" The orc leader waved his hand and motioned for him to leave.
Yarman recovered from the joy of life, and his face couldn't help but be a little dejected.
When he looked up and was about to retreat, above, his staunchest ally, another legion commander, winked at him quietly, his face sly ......
