Chapter 543
The dust cleared, and the wild shouts rang out from the headquarters of the castle tower and spread all the way to the city walls.
They saw that in the scattered dust, in addition to the scorched earth and corpses everywhere and the wailing wounded, the city defense army staggered to its feet, as if they had just woken up, confused, but more drunkards who wanted to get drunk, swaying from side to side with their weapons. It doesn't matter, if they can stand, they are alive, and if they are alive, they deserve to be cheered.
The sun took one last look and fell asleep, and suddenly the whole world dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and tonight the stars and moon were missing, and soon turned into darkness that could not be seen.
The fire plate on the city wall was blazing, and the flickering torches rose and fell, pointing out the direction for Li Kui and them, who returned late.
"Keep up! Hurry up and reach the city wall before the rebels react. β
Li Kui's loud shouting became the only sound, the rebels did not dare to advance easily without torches, the closer they got to the ground of the explosion crater, the bigger the cracks, the more, and people would fall into it like dumplings. Therefore, the night curbed the encirclement and suppression of the rebels, and if you want to be equipped with torches, you must send them from the barracks, and it will take time.
Li Kui's city defense army recognized the direction and did not dare to waste time, not to mention that no one gave them torches, so they simply supported them left and right, echoed back and forth, and advanced towards Loulan City in discredit.
From time to time, the mages of the city defense army on the city wall will throw a flare bullet and fall around them, one to point the way, the other is to prevent the rebels from waiting for the opportunity to sneak attack, and the few remaining griffin knights of the city defense army also fly down the city with torches, sending light and warmth to the city defense army.
When the huge number of rebels rose into flames, Li Kui led the city defense army to protect the Ice Dragon Snake Realm Spirit had arrived at the corner of the wall, and with the protection of many city defense heavy weapons, almost all the city defense troops breathed a sigh of relief.
Several times, the flying units of the rebels wanted to directly pass the city defense army and parachute on the body of the Ice Dragon Serpent Realm Spirit to assassinate this weak Legendary-level murderer. However, it was repelled by the fierce and accurate ballistae of the city's defenses, suffering heavy casualties without the slightest result, and in the end even the city walls did not dare to approach.
The sword of the king was awakened in advance, and one by one they drove the one-horned Pegasus, lowering dozens of swords and cables, and the city defense army hurriedly tied up the spirit of the Ice Dragon and Snake Realm with the cable. With the slogan of the increase, everyone held their breath, and success or failure was here. The headquarters of the city tower did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and the projection of the whole system was fully opened, and its eyes were locked on the rebel army. The ballistas at the head of the city looked up at the starry sky and blessed them with eagle eye skills to prevent a sudden attack by the rebel flying units. Even the archers can't help but put their arrows on the strings, ready to attack at any moment. One after another, the magic crystal cannons quietly entered and were ready to launch, and they were about to launch.
Old Commander Muk personally commanded this sword of the king who was good at fighting and brave, kept his balance, climbed steadily, and so on.
The Ice Dragon Snake Realm Spirit slowly rose, was as high as the city head, crossed the city head, and slowly landed in the city.
Nothing could stop the heartfelt cheers of the warriors, and the whole city wall and outside the city were thunderous, and even the gloomy clouds were shaken, revealing a silver crescent.
Cables and elevators hung down from the head of the city, and the brave battle of the wounded was hoisted up to the head of the city, ending the battle of the day once and for all.
Li Kui walked up to the city tower with a heavy heart, and the headquarters regained his sight.
"General Huang, the last general has completed the task, but General Li Bing was killed. The fighters suffered heavy casualties. I hope the general will be punished. β
When the old general Huang Lan heard that Li Bing was dead, he was a little afraid to accept it, and helped up the half-kneeling Li Kui and said: "On the battlefield, life and death are fate, we must take over their will and continue to protect this city, this hot land." General Li Kui, you have done a good job, you have fulfilled General Li Bing's will, and you have also saved my last hope of Loulan City. Thank you, General Li Kui. β
Li Kui was both moved and sad, Li Bing's death became a pain in his heart, but he understood better that even the legendary thousand-year-old dumplings were killed, and anyone would die in this war, maybe he would be next.
"Where the duty of the last general lies, he will definitely go to the soup and the fire, and he will not hesitate to do it."
"Okay, okay, okay, go down and rest, the pastoral doctor will treat you, this war is not over yet. Tomorrow ββββ"
The old general Huang Lan thought of the fatal cracks in the city wall, and he was speechless for a moment, shook his head, and withdrew from his face with joy, with a solemn face. Li Kui didn't say anything in interest, and withdrew from the city tower.
A large number of pastoral doctors surrounded the Ice Dragon Snake Realm Spirit, and an embarrassing scene occurred, none of the pastoral doctors present dared to touch the body of the Realm Spirit, not even Ye Xiaofei's body dared to touch it, and the two pastoral doctors who had just acted recklessly had one arm frozen into an ice sculpture, and the other arm was pitch black, which was eroded by the cold qi of the Ice Dragon Snake Realm Spirit and was corroded by the weakness that remained on Ye Xiaofei's body. Fortunately, the surrounding pastoral doctors used dispersal magic and antidote on them in time to save their lives.
This is Li Kui who happened to walk down from the city, came over to ask, first check that the spirit armor was dressed neatly, and then stepped forward to hug Ye Xiaofei, the power of the spirit armor was temporarily lower than the residual weak water. According to the opinion of the pastoral doctor, put it on a piece of warm jade and jade, and explained that the pastoral doctor Ye Xiaofei had the poison of soft water on his body, and a piece of healing could not be treated, and warned the pastoral doctor not to use healing magic on the cold ice dragon snake realm spirit casually, if the other party's body protection cold qi is activated, everyone present will become ice sculptures.
After instructing again, Li Kui finally couldn't hold it anymore and found a tent to sleep.
The old general Huang Lan at the head of the city stared at the black eyes on the outside and the red on the inside, examining the rebels' movements over and over again, and at the same time urgently ordered the city defense army to cooperate with the magicians to take advantage of the cover of night to quickly repair the broken city walls, when the rebels began to attack, and when to stop. It's just that the rebels' strange behavior made him very puzzled, and even pinched his heart and liver, and was worried.
After the rebels failed to kill the weakened Legendary Ice Dragon Snake Realm Spirit, they suddenly entered a dormant period, and there was no more movement, and the silence was like the calm before the storm.
However, at this time, Ye Baihe was not quiet, sometimes furious, sometimes sneering, sometimes annoyed, but more hateful. Looking at Wei Yan's towering city walls, looking at the flickering firelight, his face was full of distortion.
When the legendary murderer Cold Ice Dragon Snake entered Loulan City, he understood that he had been defeated, not to mention that the terrifying artillery fire that had emerged from Loulan City from beginning to end deeply shocked every soldier, almost to the point of hearing the sound of a change of color. Such an army with no morale and panicked was taking what to conquer the offensive walls and the raging artillery fire.
"It's overββββ defeatedββββ fatherββββ big brotherββββ we're doneββββ"
Ye Baihe remembered the nonsense, remembered the tragic death of his father Yelu and eldest brother Yezi, the empire will inevitably pursue the rebellion with the power of thunder, he will definitely die, if he falls into the hands of the empire, I don't know what kind of punishment he will have to bear. Drink back left and right, and slowly lower the door curtain. He slowly drew his saber and murmured, "Father, big brother, wait a minute, I'm coming to youββββ"
Brush ββββ
The long sword was drawn to the neck, blood splattered three steps, and the white crane fell to the ground heavily.
When the two rebels guarding the door heard the sound, they opened the corner of the curtain and immediately turned white with fright, their limbs trembled, and they screamed for the death of the white crane.
The sound and the commotion danced, after spreading throughout the army, hundreds of thousands of rebels immediately exploded on the spot, panic and chaos were infinitely amplified in the night, and some people even shouted out of the city defense army to kill the Chinese army, stabbed to death Ye Baihe, suddenly, the rebels did not care whether it was true or not, turned their heads and ran away, especially the front army that had withdrawn from the battlefield before, almost saw the commotion of the rear army in front at this time, and did not even hear the sound, screamed, and immediately threw away their armor and turned their heads and ran. Panicked pushing and stampeding, countless dead and wounded.
The command headquarters of the rebels was constantly monitored through the magic projection of the whole system, and the generals and generals who had just been in a daze shouted and ran, and at the same time, urgent orders came out of the command headquarters, and the alarm bells in the city were loud, and the civilian troops who had just walked down the city for dinner rushed to the city, and the city defense troops had already run above the city, ballistas, large and small magic crystal cannons, and large magic crystal cannons have entered a state of readiness, and they were about to fire.
The old general Huang Lan was even more anxious, predicting that this would be a decisive counterattack by the rebels, so he didn't care about anything, and directly ordered someone to wake up the members of the King's Sword who had just returned and shelter the sky above the city, so as to prevent the rebels from taking advantage of the chaos to parachute into the city and set fire to chaos everywhere. At the same time, he sent people to Li Kui, who had just fallen asleep, and the city defense army that had just entered the city, urgently went to the city to assist in the defense.
For a while, inside and outside the city wall, torches surged, and the sound came and went, as if two awakened giant beasts were preparing for the final fight.
The rebels under the city wall saw that the city defense army on the head of the city was so busy, it looked like a posture that they should not let go, and they dared to stay there, holding torches, and ran wildly, eager to grow two more legs, and the armor and weapons on their bodies hindered escape, and they were all thrown away. What's even more ridiculous is that a few soldiers saw that there were too many people in front of them, blocked the road, and raised the butcher knife in their hands without hesitation.
Swords and swords, guns and shields, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the rebels fought each other. Some of the insane rebels even rushed all the way and slashed all the way, causing even more panic.
The city guards on this side of the city were dumbfounded. Wounded the old general Huang Lan, down to the small militia with guns, one by one looked at the rebels who shouted to kill the sky, and looked at the city defense army in full defense in astonishment, as if to say: We haven't left the city, who are they fighting with? It sounded like a fierce fight, as if someone was killing them.
Old Commander Mu Ke and Li Kui rushed into the headquarters one after another, and they were also stunned at this time, they were still counting on what important tasks the old general Huang Lan was going to assign, but when they saw the entire stagnant command headquarters, they were too frightened to speak, and when they saw that even the old general Huang Lan was also stunned, and his heart trembled, could it be that the city wall was broken? Loulan City lost? How could it be, how long did they go down the city wall?
"General Huang ββββββββ what ββββ happened-"
Old Commander Mook asked worriedly, really afraid to hear some terrible news. Li Kui was completely sleepy at this time, and stood there uneasily.
"It's so weirdββββ"
The old general Huang Lan's brainless sentence scared Mu Ke and Li Kui almost to cry. Hearing the weirdness from the mouth of the calm and experienced old general Huang Lu, what a weird thing it is, could it be that the rebels appeared in the city en masse?
When the old general Huang Lan heard the voice, he turned his head to look at the two of them, only to see Li Kui and the old commander Mu Ke breaking out in a cold sweat, and they were very frightened.
"It seems like a good thing, come and see, if we are mistaken, the rebels should be in a big rout."
"The Great Rout?"
Li Kui and Mu Ke glanced at each other, rushed close to the projection, and stared at the rebel camp. It can be seen that the fire light of the rebels before the red half of the sky is rapidly decreasing, and it beats rapidly against the mountains, and soon, I don't know whose torch ignited the mountain forest, the mountain fire began to spread, and the small flames were brewing forest fires.
"General Huang, what's going on, the rebels are really retreating."
The old commander of Mu Ke completely stopped the old general Huang Lan in one sentence, even he didn't know what was happening among the rebels, he thought at first that the rebels were going to launch a final attack, so he desperately summoned everyone to the city to deal with it.
"Well, maybe even the rebels themselves don't know what's going on. It can't be said to be a great rout, but a great rout, and I can guarantee that none of the soldiers have left Loulan City before this, and it is none of our business. β
It's none of our business!
When this sentence came out, the old general Huang Shu felt that he didn't even believe it.
"Anyway, Loulan City has finally survived the difficulties, the blessing of the general, the blessing of the citizens, and the blessing of Loulan City."
No matter what, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and this fateful battle slowly came to an end in the night.
Despite this, the old general Huang Lan insisted on staying at the headquarters of the city tower, waiting for dawn, and at the same time sent several teams out of the city to check, and sent the sword of the king to explore the direction of the rebels' escape. In the second half of the night, the torches abandoned by the rebels in the woods began to burn, and finally turned into a forest fire, reflecting the entire night sky, and at the same time illuminating the messy and miserable scene of the rebel camp.
Although the city guards of Loulan City sent out to rescue overnight, they came out a little late and could only rescue some of them, and the others were swallowed up by the fire.
The return of the King's Sword completely confirmed that the rebels had indeed fled, and when several rebels were interrogated, the rumor was not believable, and only one of the guards who claimed to be the rebels' pro-army said that they had seen Ye Baihe kill himself. Only then did we understand the cause of the rebels' rout, but it is impossible to know why there was a serious stampede and cannibalism, and even the final arson of the mountain.
After figuring out what was going on, the old general Huang Lan tilted his head, snored loudly, and fell asleep deeply. The city was silent, and the hero's body and mind were relaxed, lying on the city wall, and he fell into a deep sleep.
When the civilians of the city heard the news of the victory, they were completely relieved from their fears, and the city reveled in rejoicing, reflecting the mountain fires outside the city, like a grand bonfire festival.
