Chapter 356: Admitting defeat

The breeze blew, and there was a ripple on the surface of the moat, which was, blood-red waves.

Although the speed of the demon army was not fast, its footsteps were very resolute, and after a while, stepping on the bodies of their compatriots, they finally crossed the moat. Not only that, but even those heavy engineering weapons have been transported one by one, but at this moment, they have already come under the city walls.

The general's gaze moved downward, and then he waved his palm and said sharply, "All the soldiers, listen to my orders and prepare for this final decisive battle!"

The crossbow arrows were loaded, the catapult was also ready, and not only that, but there were a lot of flints placed on the edge of the city, which were ready to be smashed into the demon clan below at any time. Next to each crossbowman, there were several infantry guards, and a group of cavalry also stopped behind the city gate, as long as the city gate was wide open, they would fight with the demon clan.

All the preparations are in place. But 30,000 against 50,000 people, the pressure is still a little too great, so the general surnamed Zhang will not take the initiative to set off this decisive battle.

But the demon clan was full of momentum, and the great commander was naturally unwilling to delay more, so with a wave of his palm, he directly ordered, "Siege the city!"

"Boom!" The huge tree stump slammed into the gate of the city, and a deafening figure completely opened the battle. The human side is not soft, and the flint that has been prepared for a long time is pushed down directly and smashed towards the demon clan below.

Large-scale battles can only be described by the word chaos, but each side also has its own unique style of play.

Just like at this time, the demon soldier who smashed the door, once there is a dead one, there will be a second person to replace him. And so, one after the other, the sound of the impact never stopped.

Not only that, but the demon clan's crossbowmen were also strong, and a wave of crossbow arrows directly covered the humans on the city wall. Even with the resistance of the shield, there were many casualties under the stray arrows. With this wave of firepower suppression, the soldiers behind the demon clan even set up ladders one after another and climbed towards the city wall.

On the human side, it is naturally impossible to sit still, and when a big war breaks out, their means are no less than those of the demon clan.

One by one, the boulders were pushed down and tumbled, each of which could always take the lives of several demon clans. The human crossbowmen are not weak, and the condescending attack is even above the demon clan, and under a wave of attacks, there are not a few demon clans who fall to the ground in response to the arrow cluster.

And as long as the ladder is on the city wall, there will always be human soldiers pushing it up, and the demon soldiers climbing on it will naturally fall down, and the injury is not light. Not only that, but even worse, he directly picked up the wine jar at hand, fell down directly along the ladder, and then burned the area, and the flames not only swallowed the ladder, but also engulfed the countless demon clans nearby.

The scorching scene lasted for a long time, and the human side also knew that this was the last chance to reduce the demon race, so everyone also fought with the same determination to win.

The number of people on both sides has plummeted in the fierce collision of the big battle, not only that, but after losing countless demon soldiers, there are still a few cloud ladders to go up. Once the ladder was built, the generals of the demon clan naturally doubled their morale, and hurriedly followed the ladder and climbed towards the city wall.

Lan Jiu's gaze was slightly cold, and he only felt that the plan seemed to have been advanced, but he couldn't change anything if he had come to this point.

As soon as the demon soldiers climbed the city wall, the human infantry was naturally not vegetarian, and the blade of the sword in his hand slashed directly at it. Before these demon soldiers could gain a firm foothold, they were directly hacked to death by human swords.

However, there are always accidents, on a certain cloud ladder, a demon soldier directly slashed with a horizontal knife and killed the humans guarding there. Although the probability of this kind of counter-killing is very small, but after all, the total number of demon clans is there, and the base number is really too big, so after a while, there are already a lot of demon clans on the city wall.

The confrontation situation has opened again, and in general, it is still the human war situation that has the advantage, after all, there are still a few demon clans who can squeeze into the city wall.

But just because of these few demon clans, they directly destroyed the original offensive of the human race, so the troops besieging the city under the city suffered a lot less damage. A loud bang sounded, and the huge iron gate trembled violently, and the human cavalry were all gearing up, trying to fight hard.

Finally, with a bang, the gate was completely destroyed. The sword in the hand of the demon clan commander was raised, riding on the war horse, and shouted, "Kill!"

The human side was also not to be outdone, and this group of cavalry was led by General Zhang himself. After a while, the same sword pointed at Tiannan, and scolded sharply, "Charge!"

In close combat, the main forces of the two sides will fight, and as for the strong, they will consciously look for their opponents. Just like the general surnamed Zhang once again faced the great commander, and several other generals in the Jindan period also fought with a group of demon elites.

Lan Jiu's eyes closed slightly, but his divine sense was shrouded in the battlefield at an extremely fast speed, and his every move naturally couldn't escape his control. Lan Jiu roughly calculated the strength of the troops, there are 28,000 people left in the human race, and the strength of the demon clan is only more than 30,000 points, the situation is quite equal, and now it only depends on the bravery of the soldiers of the two sides.

But in general, in addition to the disparity in numbers, humans still have an advantage.

Just like the main force of the war, the demon clan is basically on foot, while the humans are cavalry. Moreover, under Lan Jiu's special arrangement, the surface of these horses is plated with a layer of armor, even if the demon clan wants to use weapons such as *, it is impossible to be effective. Moreover, the front of the war horse is also inlaid with some sharp blades, as long as they collide with the demon clan, even if they don't die, they can shed a layer of skin.

The two sides fought, almost scorching, and not only that, but the blood gradually stained the earth red, and all the cities merged into the moat.

One person... The two... Ten people... 100 people... Thousand... , Every human being has passed away, and Lan Jiu's sea of consciousness is clear.

Basically, on average, every human lost would take the lives of three demon clans. And on the other side, although the general surnamed Zhang fell into the disadvantage, the rest of the generals had the advantage, and even one of them had already killed his opponent and re-invested on the battlefield.

In this proportion, humanity will surely emerge victorious. But Lan Jiu's heart couldn't help but hurt, it was a miserable victory.

I'm afraid that in the end, even if the demon clan can be killed, there must be few soldiers left on the human side. How could such a result be what he wanted?

Yes, 30,000 against 100,000 can still win, and such a record is something to be proud of whenever you say it. But for him, this is already a failure, and all the less perfect results are a denial for him.

If he is given enough time, he can win, and the real victory will not lose a single soldier.

But time and fate are not as merciful as they imagined. If this continues, humanity will win, but in the end, I am afraid that there will be only a few thousand remnants left. Is it really worth it to let so many human soldiers and so many flesh and blood compatriots be buried like this because of one of their own trials?

Lan Jiu's eyes fell on the general surnamed Zhang in the distance. His hard-supporting figure seemed to be in danger of defeat at any moment, and several new wounds were added to his body, each of which went deep into the bone marrow.

Suddenly, Lan Jiu smiled, looking at the humans who were fighting frantically in the field, he was also laughing very crazy. The jade jue in his hand was raised, and he directly crushed it, but he saw a light appear, and Li Xiaofeng and several people appeared directly in front of Lan Jiu. Inside this jade jue, it is the space formation that is connected to another space.

"Haha, first of all, congratulations on your upcoming pass, and then, why did you suddenly summon us over?" Li Xiaofeng looked at him with a smile and asked in a low voice.

"Hehe, I'll give up this game, count me admitting defeat!" Lan Jiu said his decision, the whole person was much more relaxed and old, and said helplessly, "You send someone to help them, anyway, even if I admit defeat!"

Li Yixiang still smiled in his eyes and asked in a low voice, "Oh? I don't know why this is?

"Hehe, no reason, I don't want such a victory at all!" Lan Jiu shook his head helplessly, "These soldiers below are our flesh and blood compatriots, many people have laughed and messed with me, I really can't watch them die in front of my eyes... I used to think that victory was very important, but in fact, compared to their lives, victory is just a dispensable thing, you can do it!"

Lan Jiu's words also caused everyone to think deeply. Whether it was Murong Yunfan or Li Yixiang, they didn't stop Lan Jiu's decision, and even they asked in their hearts, if they encountered such a thing, they were afraid that they would also make a choice, right?

It was Li Xiaofeng who asked with a chuckle, "Don't you regret it? If you lose the trial, it means that you will miss our Fourth Army!"

"I don't regret it, I will never regret it!" Lan Jiu laughed softly, three points of freedom and ease, seven points of arrogance, soul and heart, sublimated to another level in an instant.

Li Xiaofeng's eyes still contained a kind of smile, and he said in a low voice, "In that case, you just need to make a move... I think even your strength alone is enough to change the outcome of this war, right?"

Lan Jiu was stunned for a moment, didn't say much, and nodded lightly. The cyan wind elemental activated, and his body disappeared in place, rushing towards the city in the distance.

Standing still, Lan Jiu's whole person floated in mid-air, his hands slightly opened, and a fierce coercion covered the bottom. The cold breath made the battlefield freeze in an instant, let alone move, and the two warring sides didn't even dare to come out with an atmosphere.

But I only heard him say like a god, "Stop!"
