XXXVIII. The Fallen Prosperity
The kobolds' tactics of avoiding thick defenses did not have the desired effect, and the first-line formation still resisted them steadily. Most of the soldiers in the leaping formation died before they could make meritorious contributions, and a few only blended into the enemy formation, and then were beaten and killed.
However, it cannot be said that it is completely useless, at least the enemy army that successfully broke through also disrupted the order of the follow-up army formation, causing a lot of losses, after all, the discipline and order of the adult army can only be said to be average.
It's just that it can't break through the frontal defense, and it's difficult for the kobolds to give full play, and it's a small chasing force, and the number is not much. So in the event of a failure of both frontal and sneak attacks, they quickly retreated.
Looking at the rapidly retreating enemy troops, Li Xi could only stare dryly from the sidelines. Who told all the enemies to have four legs! In desperation, Li Xi also chose to retreat.
This short confrontation made Li Xi feel different. At least the military literacy of the kobold is still worthy of affirmation, and the temporary tactical use is also commendable.
Moreover, the current javelin has long been exhausted, and without the assistance of long-range strikes, the only way to decide the outcome is hand-to-hand combat. But Li Xi only brought more than 3,000 people, even if he was superior in strength and could fight ten, but the kobold was not a, maybe the enemy's reinforcements had already arrived.
So let's talk about revenge later, anyway, it's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years. Kobold! Wait for Lao Tzu! Next time it won't be so cheap for you!
The change in the style of painting appeared so suddenly, and the human legion, which had been sworn by for a short period of contact, also followed the trend and retreated with the large army.
The picture turned again, and the old guy Mecro was not so lucky, and in the face of the attack of the servant army, his defense line was already crumbling. He barely fended off the nezumi attacks, but with the arrival of human reinforcements, he was really powerless.
After finally reluctantly resisting, he could only retreat with the remnants of his troops, but luckily it was always their advantage to escape, and he didn't have to worry about being chased by humans. It is precisely because of his best efforts and responsibilities that many of the escaped ratmen remain.
Now the map is full of fleeing and chasing deer, and many of the hopeless survivors in the camp have surrendered, and the possibility of fighting bravely to kill the enemy still exists. It's a pity that this is only a doomed war, and it only took half a day for the nezumi to attack and escape.
So don't interrupt someone when they're orgassing, or the consequences may be really serious.
In this chaotic battlefield, there are all kinds of pursuing enemy soldiers, as well as all kinds of disorderly routs, and the cannibalism of escapees can be seen everywhere, and the tyrannical killing of pursuers is also common. So along the way, Li Xi also bumped into all kinds of troubles, either a small group of chasing soldiers came to scratch twice, or all kinds of routs came to provoke it.
In the end, Li Xi was also on fire, and all those who stood in the way were killed! For a while, there was another army, and in the rout, both sides were killed. That is, the route he took was not the focus of the attack, otherwise it would have been so easy, and he might have been stuck in the quagmire of the vast sea of people and could not extricate himself.
Li Xi finally withdrew to the camp with the troops all the way, and it happened that Mekro had already rushed back at this time, looking at Lao Mei who was running quickly, Li Xi could only sigh at the gap in talent and skills!
Although the two of them met victoriously, this was not a place to catch up, so everyone quickly sorted out the supplies, and then retreated to the headquarters of the royal court.
"Report to Your Highness, the encircling forces in the west have not completed their plan and have been directly routed! The ones in the east have also been resisted, but now they have broken their defenses and rushed to the battlefield. "The guards who rushed to the side brought the latest news from the front.
It's just that this message made Beirut frown, and then asked: "What's going on on the Western Front? Could it be that the rat people still have a hidden main force?"
"Returning to Your Highness, according to the report of the retreating rout, there is a human army of more than 5,000 in the west, well-equipped and powerful, and the nezumi were defeated as soon as they fought, and even the human servant army has been wiped out. The guards didn't believe in this either, but just recounted the situation at the front.
"What?," Beirut did not frown after hearing this, but had a surprised expression.
There is no information at all that humans are involved in this war, could it be that the kingdom on the continent sent it? But isn't this place abandoned by them a long time ago? Besides, they don't have a navy at all, so how did they get here?
"Quick! go get those nezumi here! I want to know the details!"
So a few routs came to the camp trembling and recounting the previous battle. At this time, the news about humanity was conveyed again, and he finally believed the report.
The sudden human beings disrupted his deployment, so he decisively abandoned the siege plan, and took advantage of the chaos of the rat people and the lack of troops in the royal court, and directly commanded the army to attack the royal court.
The various divisions abandoned the rout in front of them, regrouped together, and hurried to the heart of the enemy. The defeated soldiers who escaped the pursuit looked at the murderous enemy army, and gave up the possibility of fleeing to the royal court, and fled everywhere one after another.
Li Xi and Mekro didn't know what each other was doing, they just wanted to find a safe place to stay so that they wouldn't get caught in a heavy siege. Therefore, in the race between the two sides, the large army finally came to the city of Wangting, but the dense troops who could not enter the city gave them a sense of foreboding.
"This damn bastard won't let us enter the city!" Li Xi looked at the closed city gate, and could only jump to his feet in a hurry.
It's a pity that his scolding can't spread far at all, and the crowded, chaotic and noisy scene also tossed him out of temper.
"Yes, Lao Tzu can see it, this Xivis is just a coercion, maybe he made all of this! If you don't enter, you won't enter! Lao Tzu is not rare! Lao Mei! Let's keep running! Anyway, the enemy is going to attack the royal court, and we can still run away if we hurry up!" Li Xi is too lazy to waste time, so let's run quickly!
Mecro didn't hesitate, nodded and the group retreated again, leaving behind a group of people who were still. Anyway, the dead Dao friends don't die the poor Dao, this truth is universal everywhere!
Sylvestris had already hid in the main hall, and this time he finally sat on the throne, but unfortunately it was not a great treasure, but a final carnival. He was already crazy after being hit, and the dream of hegemony at his fingertips had become an existence in his imagination.
At this moment, the royal court has already been in chaos, and panic has already enveloped the public, those high-ranking officials and nobles have rolled up their property and fled in all directions, and the ruffians and hooligans are also causing trouble and looting everywhere. As far as the eye can see, there are unbearable images everywhere, and this glorious city is officially going into decline at this moment.
The troops left behind were busy preparing to defend the city, but there was a lack of unified command, and there were accidents everywhere in the panic. The negative effects of fear also gave rise to a series of riots, and the situation began to spiral out of control.
The rat people outside the city who have not dispersed are also red-eyed, except for some retreats with clear ideas, the rest have attacked the royal court, and for a while, the city wall is also full of war, maybe there is no need for the enemy to attack at all, and the royal court is about to fall.
The cacophony of voices finally interrupted Sives's sweet dream, and he came to his senses and looked blankly at the place where he was, and then remembered what had happened before.
So he fled decisively, relying only on the thousands of people reserved by the royal court, he couldn't hold the city at all. Even if he loses everything now, at least he can still live, and as long as he doesn't die, he will have a chance to rise again! He believes that with his orthodox status as a royal court, he can still lead all the tribes and become the only king Khan.
He resolutely abandoned all his people, and fled to the rear with only his personal guards, and before leaving, he took with him a group of soldiers who were defending the city, which made the situation in the royal court even worse.
While the nezumi were fighting among themselves, the army of Beirut had already arrived. Without the slightest hesitation, all the troops threw themselves into the siege battle. Once again, the nezumi outside the city showed their pus-filled side, and without the slightest resistance, most of the troops broke up again, while the rest surrendered. At this moment, the performance of the nest is vividly reflected.
The thick walls did not hold back the enemy's onslaught, and the defenders gave up their resistance after a few moments. Finally, for the first time, this symbol of the nezumi opened its doors to the enemy army and welcomed the fate of the conquered.
The civilians trembled and fell to their knees, begging for forgiveness from their enemies. Beirut had no appetite for killing, and looking at the streets that had begun to crumble, he immediately sent troops to keep the city safe. The kobolds want to occupy this place and gain wealth and strength, not a piece of ruins and corpses.
However, if anyone dares to resist, it will inevitably usher in his most cruel revenge. But fortunately, these people are honestly waiting for his arrangement, and the work of occupying the neighborhood is also going very well. But as the troops advanced, things began to get complicated.
In a huge capital, it is impossible for all the obedient people to be submissive, many inspirational resistance rat people have gathered, some of them have assassinated the enemy in their homes, some have built defenses in the streets, and some have organized several large-scale riots, so that the tragic street battles have started everywhere, and the opposition between repression and resistance is also frequently staged.
They knew that the chances of victory were slim, but they would still do something. So at a certain moment of destruction, it is never the rhetoric of rhetoric, but the down-to-earth and dedicated warriors.
