Chapter 393: Beast Siege
Boom, boom, the ground under the city walls was like an earthquake, and it jumped violently. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoHundreds of kingdom soldiers fell, either as corpses and shredded flesh, or as corpses with bleeding features.
In particular, these fireballs landed more intensively near the long ladder, destroying more than a dozen long ladders in one fell swoop, blowing them to pieces, and removing a major threat to the castle.
The most courageous soldiers of the kingdom who rushed up the city wall were originally the bravest and luckiest soldiers, but after losing their backup, they were surrounded by several times the soldiers of the Demon Energy Empire, and they fell down with hatred.
The entire battle situation can be said to have been reversed one hundred and eighty degrees, and the army of the kingdom, which had the upper hand before, was instantly blown up in horror by more than fifty fireballs, and suffered heavy casualties.
Zhang Jie was still not satisfied, and continued to order: "Another round of fireballs!" ”
The army of the kingdom, which had already lost the confidence to win, was blown up by this second round of fireballs, and completely lost its restraint and fled for its life in the direction of the camp.
The noble generals in the headquarters of the kingdom's army had gloomy faces, but none of them said that they would deal with it according to the ordinary war, that is, to send law enforcement teams to force the defeated troops to return again.
Because everyone knows that the end of doing so is only to increase the casualties, and it will have no effect on the final result.
After taking in the rout, the noble generals learned of the attack, and the rough casualties of the soldiers were as high as more than two thousand, almost equivalent to one-tenth of the strength of the army.
This is a very terrible statistic, because the soldiers who attacked this wave were only 5,000, and more than half of them were killed and wounded, so it is no wonder that the big soldiers collapsed.
"We can't continue to attack, we must reserve our strength to resist the next attack of these mages."
"Yes, these mages have not yet come out of nowhere, the threat to the kingdom is too great, we must prepare in advance."
As the commander, the griffon count understood the intention of these nobles as soon as he heard it, that is, he did not want to sacrifice his own strength. The enemy's strength is so strong that there will be more than fifty mages, and there are not so many mages in the entire kingdom combined.
Not to mention others, even Count Griffin himself was a little scared, and his heart couldn't help but shrink at the thought of the two waves of overwhelming fireballs just now.
"Well, stabilize the camp, we will slowly retreat tomorrow, and we must not leave an opportunity for the enemy to take advantage of." Count Griffin stroked the beard on his chin and nodded.
As soon as the kingdom's army moved, Zhang Jie, who was standing on the twenty-meter-high wall, saw it.
Yang Qing also saw it and suggested: "Your Majesty, do you want to take the opportunity to pursue and kill more enemies?" ”
Zhang Ju shook his head slightly and rejected the proposal: "Let's not say for the time being that the enemy did not panic when he retreated, even if we pursued, we would only kill and wound one or two thousand enemies, and it would not change much for the general trend." Soon these recruits will be able to fight on the city walls, which does not mean that they will be able to fight in the wilderness. ”
Yang Qing nodded suddenly and took the initiative to review: "It's that I thought too simply, it seems that we can't capture the entire kingdom for the time being, it's really a bit frustrating, a good opportunity just slipped away." I will definitely strengthen the training of new recruits, so that Tmall can grow into qualified veterans as soon as possible. ”
Zhang cut his head and did not speak, watching the orderly kingdom's army retreat to the camp.
The next morning, he got up and got a report from Yang Qing.
"The kingdom's army has disappeared, and must have withdrawn before dawn, and I think we should send an army to follow. Even if there is not much gain, they must be forced to survive with short tails. So that we can eat, the broken soldiers. ”
Zhang Ju didn't stop at all this time, because Yang Qing's proposal was very good, and the ten nearby noble territories had already belonged to the Demon Energy Empire and were temporarily occupied, and they were not places where the kingdom army could come and go whenever they wanted.
If you can't fight the kingdom army at once, I'm afraid that these ten noble territories will be harassed from time to time, which is very detrimental to the upcoming mining work.
Yang Qing led all 10,000 troops out to pursue the kingdom's army. Originally, he only wanted to bring out 5,000 or 7,000 soldiers, but he didn't get Zhang Jie's consent.
"Don't worry, with me guarding here, no one will be able to attack it." Zhang said confidently, "This is an excellent training opportunity, and the recruits can't miss it." ”
In the evening, the pursuing army returned, bringing the news of victory, and they had eaten more than 3,000 soldiers of the kingdom's army.
Zhang Ju stood on the city wall, looked at the sun that fell below the horizon, and said, "Tonight distribute wine and meat, let the soldiers celebrate." Tomorrow I'm going to go and mine first, and then it's large-scale mining, and our goal is not to be a soil bully here. ”
"Yes." Yang Qing nodded heavily.
Prospecting would be a complete disaster if it were handed over to the natives of the Tunisian world, because they had no knowledge of titanium, aluminum, rare metals and other minerals.
Zhang Jie's hand has a metal detection instrument, which is handmade according to the earth prospecting technology. Originally, the immigration ship had stored the advanced technology of the Big-Eyed Clan, but it was not used here.
Thinking of this, a trace of doubt flashed on his face: "There are some evil sects in this place, which can affect the immigration spaceship, so it's better for us to leave early." ”
"That's right, something is wrong in this place, the power of the fireball technique has become a lot greater." Yang Qing echoed.
Chen Xi said at this time: "Then we must dig out all kinds of metal ores as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible." Fortunately, a fusion reactor was built. There is not a lot of metal needed, and if you need tens of thousands of tons of metal like building a spaceship, it will be too late to dig it by manpower. ”
Zhang Juan nodded and said, "Yes, we must have a sense of urgency, and we can't relax thinking that there is no danger at the moment." ”
On this night, the barracks was very lively, and there was a lot of movement made by the soldiers who were drinking wine and eating meat. As for the corpses outside the city walls, there was no one to clean them up at all.
Early the next morning, after Zhang intercepted, he was ready to set off for prospecting.
"Your Majesty, there was a sudden accident, a large number of beasts came outside the castle. Shall we attack and disperse them? Yang Qing waited outside the door, and when he saw Zhang Jie coming out, he reported the matter.
Zhang Ju frowned, came to the city wall without saying a word, and looked down, his sight was full of black and pressed animals. There are gray wolves the size of calves, tigers the size of baby elephants, crocodiles with a body length of ten meters, and pythons as thick as buckets, and all kinds of carnivores have appeared.
"What's the matter, they seem to be attracted to corpses! Didn't anyone clean it up yesterday? Zhang said unhappily.
"It was our momentary negligence that we didn't expect there to be so many beasts."
