Chapter 142: Pressure
Jin Hao's return to the next camp was warmly welcomed by many demon kings, each of whom had an eyeliner in Jin Hao's troops, so he knew everything about what happened during the Terran siege. While envy, jealousy and hatred for Camilla, he couldn't help but look at this young general in his heart.
With this credit in his body, the future of the demon clan is bound to be limitless, even if he is on an equal footing with a few of himself.
On the other hand, Jin Hao's reputation for being compassionate to the soldiers also began to spread among the demon soldiers, and now in the eyes of the soldiers, Jin Hao is no different from a god.
After a series of defeats, the Terran army no longer dared to attack rashly, but set up camp two kilometers away from this city pass, fought steadily, and advanced towards the city head little by little.
The traps used by Jin Hao were also identified by them one by one, and they used a lot of manpower to spend more than ten days to fill in these pits.
The demon kings in the city settled down and wanted to take the opportunity to get closer to Jin Hao and find an opportunity to arrange a banquet, but they were all pushed away by Jin Hao on the grounds that Jin Hao was busy with military affairs, but Camilla was very happy when she heard the news.
"It seems that tomorrow the Terrans will attack, this is not the last city pass used as an experiment, from now on it will be a simple battle of endurance." , Jin Hao looked at Mara Yang beside him and said, "How determined do you say the prince is?" ”
"I didn't think you would ask me such a question, I've always been based on your opinion, haven't I?" , said Marayang.
"Somehow, I always feel that he won't give up easily this time, I'm not but either of them may be defeated, it's just that a protracted battle is not a good thing after all." , Jin Hao said.
"It's rare that you can think like that, and you don't have to blame yourself too much about this, I think it's the best solution." , said Marayang.
"Haha, yes, then it depends on what kind of cards the prince will play next." , Jin Hao said with a smile.
Sure enough, as Jin Hao expected, the next day the human alliance began to form a formation to attack the city, although the siege methods used by Jin Hao before made them suffer heavy losses, but the generals also found a way to reduce casualties as much as possible.
The current attack still looks like a suicide attack, but in fact, the casualty generation rate has slowed down a lot, and Jin Hao also found that the casualty rate of the demon soldiers has also become faster.
Although there is the military power of the Great Demon King behind him, Jin Hao does not have to worry about the problem of soldiers, but such a terrifying number of casualties still makes him pinch a cold sweat.
The most terrifying thing is that on the first day alone, a small number of soldiers of the human alliance army climbed onto the top of the city, but fortunately, after a period of fighting, they were all solved, but Jin Hao knew in his heart that it was definitely not so easy to defend this city this time.
After the first day of fighting, Qiao Lai congratulated Jin Hao at the first sight: "Congratulations to the general, you have won the battle, I estimate that it will not be long before the human race will not be able to hold on." ”
"Even so, we should not take it lightly, and we must think of ways to reduce casualties as much as possible." , Jin Hao said disapprerovingly.
"Exactly, exactly." , Qiao Lai agreed, and then said: "I hope that this city wall can consume some more human strength, we have already discussed, and after the human beings have the intention of retreating, a few of us will command the soldiers and horses to cover up all the way over, and ask them to have no return." ”
Jin Hao was slightly stunned, and thought, yes, how can the demon kings give up after the human beings are seriously injured here?
Perhaps because his thoughts were too self-righteous, Jin Hao pondered for a while, and suddenly found that his emotions seemed to have been swayed by this battle.
In fact, you want to meet the conditions for completing the task?
Yes, if the war between humans and demons is only an inevitable part of the questline, it means that my previous thought that I should help Malayang fulfill her wish to avoid war is a bit wrong. The real mission unfolded in the context of the war.
If you think about it this way, it is likely that the human beings who have suffered so much damage and still do not retreat are also due to the correction of the plot line itself, which is caused by their own behavior affecting the normal plot of the main story.
Jin Hao suddenly realized, feeling that he had finally figured out everything, so it was pointless to think of other ways, after all, he couldn't resist the progress of Mara Yang's dream.
Anyway, now that the layout is complete, let them do it themselves.
Jin Hao made up his mind, and went to his room to rest, this is also the first time in many days that he has slept peacefully, it is really not an easy thing to unify the army, even if there is a little free time, Jin Hao still has to think about the changes that may occur.
It's just that he didn't expect it at that time, but at this time, he relaxed and wanted to sit back and watch the success or failure.
For the next ten consecutive days, the human army still maintained an ultra-high-pressure offensive and wanted to capture Guancheng in one fell swoop. In fact, this has a lot to do with the fact that Halkenbrugg doesn't know much about the division of forces within the demons, if he can accurately know the existing strength of the demons, he will definitely not lead troops like this.
Countless soldiers died on the spot, and the corpses under the city were piled up every day, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Jin Hao also specially chose a safe time to send people to the city to carry the corpses to be buried.
In the end, he even faintly felt that the aura beside the city wall had changed, but it was a little chilling when he got closer, perhaps it was caused by the residual thoughts left by the soldiers before they died.
On this day, when Halkenbrugg was in the barracks anxious about the generals' deliberations, the priests of the Goddess Cult suddenly broke in from outside.
"Everyone, there's a military meeting going on here, can you move for a while, I'll ......"
Halfway through Halkenbrugg's words, the chief priest said: "We have all seen the battles these days, and the number of casualties on both sides is not proportional at all, and now we doubt in our eyes whether you have the ability to continue to command the army, do you have anything else to explain?" ”
Saying these words in front of many generals was equivalent to a slap in the face of Halkenbrugg, but he did not show any anger: "Instead, he said in a pleading tone, you also know the disadvantageous position of the besieging side, and after we break the gate, we will naturally be able to drive straight into the hinterland of the demon race, and even if we want to achieve the oracle at that time, it may not be difficult." ”
"Alright then, I'll present your words to the High Priest as they are, but please remember that even if you get another chance, I'm afraid it will be the last." , The priest snorted coldly and said to his subordinates: "Let's go." ”
