Chapter 107
"Stop him, don't let him be seen. Wu said indifferently, turning to look at the gradually extinguishing flame behind him.
"Help!! The soldier struggled to run towards the open space outside the tent, but by this time his body had been filled with a sense of powerlessness, and several guards behind him were in a flash, each of them responsible for attacking a different position.
Six consecutive sword rays slashed through the soldier's body, and the blood demon was reduced to charred ashes under the burning fire.
The "marshal" guards returned to Wu Yong
"Inform all front-line troops to stop the offensive. ”
"Marshal, why is this? We have already invaded the city of Koklang, and now we only need to surround it, and the Longhui army stationed on the city wall will surely die because of the lack of food and grass. ”
Wu stared at him and shouted, "Pass my military order!"
“...... It was," the guard came out of the camp and shouted to the herald outside, "the marshal has an order, withdraw the troops!"
The low sound of a horn reached the ears of the front-line soldiers through the boundless land.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat immediately!" The generals on the front line urged their men to "evacuate immediately!"
On the city wall, Hou Yi ran over from inside the city wall and said to Gongsun: "Marshal Xinghua has withdrawn!"
"Withdrawn?" Gongsun recovered his senses from his anger and looked at the hastily retreating army below, "How could they withdraw at this time? Could it be that Wu Yong found out that there was something wrong with the ointment?"
Roar~ The demon fire behind the angry beast was extinguished, and the beast masters whipped it and slowly retreated. Three huge black shadows also followed behind those armies, and they all retreated towards the military formation in the distance.
A huge iron armor blocked the entrance to the gate in the area behind the city, and the guard rolled off the back of the furious beast and fell on the stone bricks.
The wound incapacitated him, and he looked up at the lifeless beast in front of him, brown blood running down its massive skull.
"I said it...... You guys...... It's not my opponent......" I struggled to prop up my body with my left arm and turn over my senses, and got out of the gap under the iron armor.
At this time, the sea of fire in front of him had long been extinguished, and only a few faint blue flames were dancing on the iron filings of the gimbal.
Not far away, there was the sound of rubble rolling, and the wooden blocks on top of the ruins slid down. The Guard stared cautiously at the figure emerging from the rocks, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I should be a Xinghua soldier. ”
"General, what's wrong with you?" Dong Rui hurriedly ran over to support him, and accidentally touched the wound on his back.
"What else, you can go...... Take advantage of the now, the Xinghua army retreats~" The defender had some difficulty speaking, he pushed Dong Rui away and sat on the ruins on the side of the wall, "I am a soldier, this is my position." Without the order of the marshal, it counts as ...... I'm going to stay here. ”
"Let's go. Taking advantage of the present, Xinghua has withdrawn. ”
Dong Rui looked at him deeply, and engraved the figure of the heroic and patriotic soldier in front of him in his mind. "I'll come back with the rescuers!
Dong Rui crawled out of the gap under the furious beast, and when he entered the inside of the iron armor, he glanced curiously at the behemoth. At this time, although it is dead, it still gives itself a feeling of depression.
Thick iron nails lead from the iron armor to the body of the furious beast, as if they are rooted in it.
Dong Rui didn't bother to burrow out of the gap behind him into the wasteland, and cautiously glanced around to make sure that the hateful intruders had really left. Only then did he flee in a northwesterly direction.
Gongsun sat on the edge of the city wall, looking at the sun gradually setting on the horizon in the distance, "How long will our food last?"
"Tell the marshal, it can last for three days, but the water has evaporated under the heat. The general in charge of guarding the grain and grass replied.
"Three days ......," Gongsun looked at the Xinghua military camp that had begun to light torches in the distance, "Three days is far from enough. Hou Yi, I order you to escape tonight anyway and go to Pioneer City to seek help from the local exorcist guild. ”
"The Exorcist Guild?"
Gongsun nodded: "You go and tell them that there are tens of thousands of blood demons in Kelang City, whether they believe it or not, they can't just sit idly by and ignore such a big thing." ”
"Tens of thousands of blood demons ......" Hou Yi was slightly stunned, he was not present when he found the blood demon in the city earlier.
"The last general commanded...... It's just marshal, since Xinghua has withdrawn now, why don't we take this opportunity to evacuate?" Hou Yi asked, according to his understanding, the best thing to do now was to retreat.
"We can't withdraw, if we all withdraw. That's the plan used by Wu, as long as we occupy the high wall for a day, they won't be able to really get Kelang for a day. Once we evacuate, it will be equivalent to giving up this powerful fortress, and if we want to get it back, we will have to pay several times more sacrifices than we do now. ”
"But Marshal, it will be dangerous for you to stay here, even if our reinforcements arrive, it will take five days, but how many soldiers and horses can we gather in just five days. Hou Yi looked into Gongsun's eyes, "Marshal, you and some of the men and horses will withdraw first." I'm in charge of staying in the city of Klang."
"Don't forget that I'm your marshal, do you want to disobey military orders!" Gongsun glared at Hou Yi angrily.
Hou Yi was speechless, so he had to reluctantly agree: "The last general will take the order." ”
"Let's go now, go early and come back early. Be sure to inform the Exorcist Guild!"
"The Admiral remembered. Hou Yi said goodbye to Gongsun Sheng, turned to the northeast wall of Kelang City, threw a hook and slid down.
"You go and find some men, I have another task for them. When Gongsun saw Hou Yi walking away, he said to the rest of the generals, "I had to find some clever ones." ”
"Marshal!"
"Marshal!"
Several generals came from outside the big tent, and they were all responsible for leading the soldiers to attack the city of Kelang.
"Why do you want to withdraw your troops, why did we withdraw at this time?"
Someone began to complain, "Then aren't they going to die in vain?"
"The remnants of Longhui are not the key, even if we don't attack, they will be defeated sooner or later. Wu Yong looked at them and said, "I called you back this time because there is a more important matter. ”
"What's the matter?" The generals didn't understand that there was anything more important than conquering the city of Kelang, and once they took the city, their future turnaround would become much easier.
"Something about the ointment. ”
"Ointment?" Someone asked again, "What's wrong with the ointment?"
"Which of you has applied ointment?" Wu asked, looking at them.
"I ......"
Three of the generals stood up and said.
"Kill ......"
