"Protect the Patriarch. ā
The sudden appearance of the human frightened the werewolves around Gegil, thinking that the human was going to assassinate the patriarch, and several strong men reacted quickly, hurriedly rushed to Gegil's side, surrounded it and protected it in the middle, but did not wait for the human assassination, but waited for the fire.
"Protect the fart, and let the people evacuate outside the city. Gegil kicked away the people in front of him, and rode the wolf out of the city, it had no intention of fighting the fire, and there was no value in the city anyway.
The raging fire engulfed the entire Donghe City, but the gifts prepared by Shaoyang did not expect to bring much loss to the werewolves, and in the end only more than a thousand werewolf corpses were left, and nearly 3,000 people were burned, most of them failed to leave in time to loot wealth, and it was too late to react.
However, because of the nature of the fear of fire, the losses of the wolves were far higher than those of the werewolves, and when Gegil gathered the army, there were tens of thousands of wolves, either lost or disabled, and lost the ability to be ridden, and ten thousand wolf horses were reduced to an infantry army.
Gegil's anger reached the limit and completely exploded, with killing intent, after a short rest, he led the army to kill in the direction of Songhai City.
On the border of Songhai City, the last Donghe people also crossed the fortifications and headed inland, most of them would stay in Songhai City, and some of them had no confidence in Shaoyang and wanted to flee farther away.
"And just a few days ago, the werewolf army of 200,000 captured Xihe City, my White Dragon Legion thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people in Xihe are afraid of bad luck, and now the werewolves are about to attack Songhai City, you are the first line of defense of Songhai City, and the last line of defense. "In the border defense offensive, Shaoyang started the pre-war mobilization.
In the face of the werewolf army, the walls of Songhai City are not much different from this fortification, and instead of letting the werewolves enter the territory and wreak havoc, Shaoyang mobilized all his troops here to fight with the werewolves.
There are 2,000 Guards Corps, 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in the Tuntian Legion, and 5,000 new recruits who will have time to overtrain in the future, which is the entire strength of Songhai City.
"It's coming. The werewolf didn't let Shaoyang wait too long, and soon came to the border of the Songhai East River, and after the strength was improved, Shaoyang's eyesight was not weak, and he found the werewolf army at the first time.
Many of the werewolves were familiar with the terrain of the Northern Wilderness, and when they found the fortifications that appeared at the border, they hurriedly reported to Gegil: "Patriarch, this place is surrounded by dense forests, and there are many of them who are stuck in the black quagmire that is difficult to escape, and this is the only road for wolves to ride. ā
"Those who can't fight the wolf attack first, kill all the humans in front of them, and then clear the obstacles so that the wolf cavalry army can pass. ā
Gegil looked ahead coldly, and found that there were not only earthen walls in front of him, but also many potholes on the road, which were not suitable for wolf cavalry combat, and it happened that the clansmen who had lost the wolf before could use it.
Werewolves without mounts may not be the opponent of the soldiers of Songhai City alone, although the fortifications are not as good as the city walls, but after several days of continuous strengthening, it is not trivial.
Werewolves have to climb nearly three meters high to attack humans, and it is difficult to achieve results for a while, if it is not for the werewolves in front of the attack to drop a lot of corpses, and the back can step on it to attack, it is difficult for the werewolves to even hurt the human soldiers.
"Waste, most of the day has passed, and I still can't attack an earthen wall. "Gegil was very dissatisfied with the progress of the attack, not only did he not take the human fortifications as he wished, but also lost two or three thousand people, and the loss of human beings was only two or three hundred at most.
Ten to one, this kind of high battle loss ratio is not unprecedented, but human losses have always been greater than werewolves, even in rare siege battles, werewolves have never had such large losses.
"Patriarch, there are too few clansmen who can pass through this path, and the human strength on the other side is far stronger than what they have encountered before, just like the thousand people encountered in Xihe City. The commander in charge of the attack argued.
The road ahead is not wide, even if the edge of the forest is added, at most about ten werewolves are allowed to pass side by side, when they fight, the werewolves behind them can't intervene at all, only when the werewolves in front of them die, can they make up for it, and the human body is smaller than the werewolves, and the number of human soldiers standing behind the fortifications is more, and they have the advantage of the earthen wall.
Gegil could also understand the reason for the high losses, not to mention the unfavorable terrain, even the strength of the human soldiers was beyond its expectations, and when it encountered the soldiers of the White Dragon Legion in Xihe City, it was shocked by the appearance of an elite human army in the city.
At this time, the humans on the other side were actually elite, and the number exceeded 10,000, Gegil cursed the mysterious man in his heart, and asked it to attack Songhai City, and he didn't even tell such important information.
Of course, what Gergil didn't know was that the really powerful soldiers on the other side were only seven thousand, not tens of thousands, as it thought.
"Intensify the attack, let the masters go together, as long as we rush through that earthen wall, the humans will be at our mercy. Gegil was ruthless and said it lightly, but it knew in his heart that even if he defeated the humans, the losses of his people would be indispensable.
But does it matter? Gegil is cold-blooded in his heart, anyway, most of the wolf riders are not his cronies, the wolf riders who directly belong to it are all guarding the Chinese army, and the wolf riders who participate in the attack belong to other tribes, compared to the reward given by the mysterious man, these losses are not distressed.
The werewolf's attack was even more violent, especially the masters who appeared from time to time, which brought a lot of trouble to the soldiers of Songhai City.
"Not only are there a lot of these werewolves, but there are also a lot of masters, which is really troublesome. Shaoyang watched the battle from the high platform behind the fortifications, and couldn't help but complain.
The battle has just begun, and the current front line is guarded by the Yellow Turban soldiers of the Tuntian Legion, and the 2,000 men of the Guards Legion are standing still, ready to wait for the right time to join the battle.
Whether it is a head-on battle or continuous attrition, Shaoyang and the others know that they are not the opponents of the werewolf army, except for waiting for reinforcements with little hope, only by seizing the opportunity and killing the werewolf patriarch in one fell swoop can there be a glimmer of life.
Otherwise, Shaoyang could only abandon Songhai City and escape under the protection of a group of military generals of the Three Kingdoms, of course, this is the most unfortunate choice, and it is also where Shaoyang's confidence lies.
No one is not afraid of death, Shaoyang is no exception, if it weren't for Xu Shu, Guo Jia, Guan Yu and other powerful generals of the Three Kingdoms, he would not have stayed to face the army of 200,000 werewolves.
In Songhai City, a newly assembled group of more than 2,000 young men also began to set off towards the border.
