Chapter 215: The Battle of [Spiral Flower City] (5)
When the Destroyer is bent on retreating, just two legions can't stop the way back.
The protagonist didn't expect the Radar Destroyer's group of enemies to retreat so simply, completely ignoring the lives of the other Destroyers who had been surrounded, and just leaving.
At this time, the Divine Envoy King's legion had not had time to close the siege, the troops on both wings had not yet been in place, and the legion chasing behind them was still some distance away.
This group of destroyers has quickly broken through the interception, and they are not in love with the battle, and they have fled directly into the grass.
The scouts scattered in the grass were even more powerless to stop the retreat of so many Destroyers, and could only watch as the enemy army marched away.
Although the Destroyer is slower, and the Divine Envoy King's Legion will definitely catch up sooner or later, the protagonist is worried that he will be killed and suffer unnecessary losses, so he asks the Flying Knights to inform the troops to turn back.
Then the king sent his army out his anger on the encircled enemy.
There are still more than 2,000 enemies, but they have been surrounded by tens of thousands of Divine Envoy King warriors in three layers and three layers outside. The enemy struggled to break through to the west, and the regiments intercepted in the west suffered heavy losses, and they gritted their teeth and insisted on not letting the enemy succeed.
The enemy was clustered together, and the ground of just over two square meters was densely packed with destroyers, and the ballista troops were replaced with shotshots, which were powerful enough to break through armor at such a close distance.
With each round of fire, the ballista fired a scatterball that inflicted heavy casualties on the Destroyer who had nowhere to dodge, reaping the fruits like a brush sweeping through the floating earth.
The Divine Envoy King Legion, which has a large number of ants, relies on small team tactics to deal with the destroyers on the periphery, constantly giving kills, and then pressuring the enemy inward.
At this time, another legion finally fetched two hundred more fire bombs from the underground lair, climbed the enemy's eastern wall, and began firing from a high position, further exacerbating the confusion and casualties of the destroyers.
But the Destroyers are still well organized, and they are still resisting and orderly.
The protagonist knows that there are several commanders among the enemies. The protagonist stands taller, his gaze over the wall beneath his feet, casting his gaze into the dense crowd of Destroyers, trying to find the Destroyer Commander, but to no avail.
The enemy's commander was too obscure, and it was too difficult to unearth it in the midst of chaos.
The siege lasted until noon, and more than 2,000 destroyers were finally wiped out, and finally the destroyers who were trapped in the beast still fighting somehow noticed the location of the protagonist, and launched a wave of decisive assault, but still failed to break through the encirclement, and were quickly thwarted.
In this field battle, the Divine Envoy King's legion wiped out about 2,500 destroyers, and lost more than 8,000 of its own, but the losses were relatively scattered, and none of the legions suffered particularly heavy casualties and lost their combat effectiveness.
The protagonist left behind a few legions with large losses to clean up the battlefield and capture the spoils of war, and then the army rested for a short time and immediately set off to take advantage of the victory and go straight to [Spiral Flower City].
According to the report of the Flying Knight, the Radar Destroyer and his party have returned to [Spiral Flower City], and the surrounding Destroyers have also gathered underground and no longer go out, and there is no sign of retreat, but they are actually intending to cage the city and trap it!
This is exactly what the protagonist wants, and he is afraid that the destroyer will retreat again and again, and he will never be able to destroy the enemy's main force.
The Destroyers want to hold on, and although they have the advantage of the defenders, the protagonist has a way to deal with them, after all, he now has the initiative.
The army of the Divine Envoy King marched all the way and finally surrounded the [Spiral Flower City], but the enemy still had no intention of breaking through and retreating.
The Divine Envoy King's army did not rush to attack the city, but continued to use its earthwork expertise according to the protagonist's request, quickly piling up a circle of walls near the entrance and exit of [Spiral Flower City], and also learned from the experience just now, and reinforced the earthen wall with wet clay and grass stems, etc., to block the enemy's nest.
In addition, the Divine Envoy warriors dug a number of camp nests outside the city walls to allow them to rest and stock up on supplies at night.
After completing this series of tasks, the sun has set in the west, and the protagonist simply does not give the order to attack, but instead mobilizes his troops to bring in the ballistas, fire shells, and other supplies from the previous camp.
There is very little food in the camp, and today's war consumes a lot, and the protagonist detached some troops to forage for food nearby, and at the same time sent messengers to let [Sitong City] send a transport team to transport all the stored grain.
I'm the dividing line
After all this, it was finally dark.
Of course, the protagonist remembers that the Destroyer had a dark history of night raids, and assigned several legions as sentinels, and took turns sending scouts to guard the city walls.
However, the enemy did not go out tonight, and it seems that he has decided to resolutely defend the cage city.
The protagonist's mind is not on the battle situation at the moment, and before nightfall, he receives a message package from the flying knight in the swamp area, which makes him fall into a long contemplation.
Previously, the warriors of the Divine Envoy King in the swamp area unearthed a rectangular metal object, and the protagonist originally wanted to wait for himself to have time to check it out.
As a result, today, a soldier ant accidentally hit a switch that seemed to have hit something, and the metal object actually popped open, and it was a box-like object with several things inside.
The items were packed in what appeared to be a transparent plastic bag, but over time, the bags turned into a flurry of scraps when touched, and could no longer shelter the contents of the bag.
The contents have survived the passage of time under the triple protection of dirt, boxes and bags, and although there are traces of old age, they still remain in good condition.
There are models of three ants inside, and the protagonist doesn't look closely.
There is also a metal nameplate, which is very well preserved, and you can still see the metallic luster, although it is a little dull, it is only caused by oxidation.
There are words on it that are also very clear, and there are very few very simple sets of words, or words that the protagonist is very familiar with.
The text is divided into three rows, the first of which is a set of Arabic numerals: "78897003", whose meaning is unknown.
The second row is Chinese characters, with only two characters: "Zhu Jue", like a person's name.
The third row is a line of smaller Chinese characters: "Held by a special person, the whole district is passed".
The familiar Chinese characters have no less impact on the protagonist than when you see the Pythagorean theorem on the skull stone.
This nameplate gives the protagonist an unusually familiar feeling, as if he returned to before crossing in an instant, the familiar text, the familiar world, the protagonist can't remember the details, but there is still everything that seems to see an inexplicable familiarity from this nameplate.
This seems to be the nameplate and pass of a person named "Zhu Jue", maybe there is a chip or something in it, but it seems that this nameplate has no way to be opened.
The protagonist temporarily sets aside the nameplate, and the information pack reveals several items inside the rusted metal box.
