Chapter 248: The Offensive and Defensive Battle of Qingyang City
On the northern border, in the city of Hongya.
"Marshal!"
"Marshal!"
"Marshal!"
The three Legion Commanders came up to Hayden and said respectfully.
"How's the situation on the northern border?" Hayden waved his hand and cut straight to the point.
"The situation is still under control, only some villages and towns have fallen, I have asked the city lords on the border to send more troops to recover those villages and towns, I believe it will be solved in less than a day. "A corps commander was the first to make a report.
Hayden nodded, and then asked, "What about Qingyang City?"
Another legion leader replied: "If the information is correct, then there are 100,000 orcs gathered outside Qingyang City this time, and now there is a siege war there, it is worth noting that among the 100,000 orcs, there are many tribal patriarchs, and they are at least strong in the Refining Realm, which is very unfavorable to Qingyang City." ”
Hayden nodded, he knew very well that in a small city like Qingyang City, the powerhouses of the Refining Realm could count them on one hand, and in terms of the number of top powerhouses, they were indeed at a great disadvantage, which would even affect the direction of this offensive and defensive battle.
"Take your people, and in twenty minutes, follow me to Qingyang City. Hayden ordered, knowing full well that if he didn't show up, it would be a matter of time before Qingyang City was defeated.
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
"Yes!"
The sun is setting in the west, and the evening is quietly approaching.
"Master, there is Qingyang City in front. Noah said.
"It's finally here. At this time, Lin Wu was walking towards a hill.
Faintly, he could already hear the countless sounds of killing coming from in front of him.
The hills are not high, but the location of Qingyang City is under the hills, Lin Wu climbed to the top of the hills, and the whole picture of Qingyang City was clear at a glance.
Because of its remote location, Qingyang City has a small population, which is considered a small border city.
What was originally an uneventful day ushered in the invasion of 100,000 orcs.
City Lord Tan Jie climbed the city wall with all his forces and launched a fierce offensive and defensive battle with the orcs, he knew that if the city was lost, then he, as the city lord, would definitely not escape, this was the fundamental reason why he was doing his best now, and he didn't want to die.
He had only 80,000 soldiers, and the soldiers, who were already weak in terms of strength, were inferior in numbers, and the battle was not against them from the beginning.
Fortunately, the conscription order he issued was somewhat effective, and some of the mercenaries and warriors in the city accepted the call, climbed the city wall, and fought the orcs.
But many more warriors did not have this awareness, and when the orcs appeared, they fled through the gate on the other side.
It is unknown whether they will escape smoothly or be chased by the orcs and killed one by one.
"Someone ran away from the south gate, do you want to surround Qingyang City directly. A tribal patriarch asked, standing at the back of the orc army.
The white-faced man Tianjiao shook his head and said, "No need, let those warriors and residents go, and we don't need to chase and kill, our task is only to occupy this city, the more warriors in the city escape, the less resistance we will receive in the end." ”
The tribal patriarch nodded, and then said, "Your Excellency has handed over the command of the entire army to you, so please give us the order and tell us what to do next." ”
"Give the order to go down, disperse the troops, surround three and put one, surround the three city gates, and put the south city gate away. Tianjiao said.
"Yes. ”
With the movements of the orcs, the people in the city only felt that the nightmarish killing sound suddenly increased.
"Oh my God, it's not just the orcs in the north, it's here too!" someone said, pointing to the east.
"This side, the west side too!"
People fell into a panic that they were completely surrounded.
"Hey, the south gate isn't moving, it doesn't seem like there are any orcs!" someone noticed the fact.
"Really?"
Compared with the bustle outside the other three city gates, the south gate has been in a calm state.
"Escape...... Run. ”
The people, who had lost their sense of security, flocked to the south gate one after another, and fled from Qingyang City despite the obstruction of the soldiers.
Human beings have a retinue mentality, and with others to set an example, more people joined the ranks of the escape, and the warriors and mercenaries who were still struggling whether to join the offensive and defensive battles suddenly gave up the idea in their hearts and escaped with everyone to ascend to heaven.
"City Lord, the south gate has not been attacked by orcs, and a large number of residents have fled from the south gate. A general who came to the city wall reported.
Tan Jie gritted his teeth and said in a dull voice: "I know, damn orcs, they even played a strategy, did our distress message get out?"
"No, there are many flying tribes among the orcs, and they have intercepted our letter birds, and the communication distance of the communication stone is not enough, so the news cannot be spread for a long time. This is obviously another piece of bad news, the general said.
"Damn!" Tan Jie couldn't help but curse again.
"The Imperial Capital will definitely send troops to support, I hope they can find out about the crisis in our Qingyang City as soon as possible, and before that, we must hold on. After Tan Jie calmed down, he said.
"Yes!"
On the other side, Lin Wu on the hill observed the situation in Qingyang City.
At this time, there was a light sigh, "The orc army seems to be surrounding Qingyang City, isn't it, it missed the south side, and deliberately wants to let go of the people in the city?" Lin Wu said secretly.
"It seems that they are not determined to kill, but to take the city as soon as possible. Lin Wu thought about it, and then he understood what the orcs were thinking.
"Oh, are the giants going up? Lin Wu saw the big guys in the orc army who had a relationship with Lin Wu.
At this time, they were moving towards Qingyang City very conspicuously, and their bodies were more than twenty meters long, could they not be conspicuous.
On the city wall, Tan Jie also saw the huge orcs that were slowly coming not far away, and said to the generals beside him: "Order, don't let those huge orcs get close to the city gate, you must kill them!"
"Yes!"
"These giants are simply city gate killers, can Qingyang City protect the city gate now?" Lin Wu said secretly.
Soon, there were only more than ten meters left between the giants and the city gate, and their task was to destroy the city gate.
However, of course, the soldiers of Qingyang City would not just let out of the city gates.
The city gate was the last line of defense, and if it was lost, the soldiers would also lose the city wall, which was a sign that they were about to engage in the most brutal hand-to-hand combat with the orc army in the city.
"There is no room for loss at the gates!"
Just ten meters before the giants came to the city gate, this was the limit, and it also indicated that they had come to the best range of Qingyang City.
Rumble!
A yellow beam of light with a diameter of one meter lit up on the city wall, and without the slightest hindrance, it pierced through the chest of a giant in an instant, killing a giant in just a moment.
"Inscription War Weapon! I didn't expect that the little Qingyang City still has this thing. "The corner of the sky is in the rear, and you can see it clearly.
