Chapter 203: Danger is like an egg
In the sky of Clay City, countless huge fireballs flew down in the sky like meteors. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info slammed into the strong walls of Clay City again and again. The soldiers defending the city clung to the ruins and looked back at their unrecognizable homes, and they still held on to hope. Because General Joseph, sent by the Duke of Aceh, told them that Princess Eve and a new imperial general would lead the army of the Goddess of Justice to save their city.
"Lance, do they have any news?" asked the big-nosed George knight, who was leaning against the side of the city wall, "we are almost unable to hold on to the east wall. And I'm afraid now that even if they come, the demons have an army of 100,000 and enough soldiers and food, and we ......."
"Now it's only 80,000. Joseph, who was holding a whetstone and sharpening his sword, smiled: "And I think the demons are no longer soldiers. Have you noticed that their attacks have become more frequent and more intense in the past few days? ”
The big-nosed George thought for a moment and nodded, "You're right, they attacked 22 times in one day yesterday, but that's good news." We've changed hands several times, and if it weren't for the desperate efforts of the soldiers to take it back, we'd be stuck in the castle now. ”
On the contrary, the more frantic they attacked, the better news it was for me. ”
The big-nosed George looked at Joseph with a surprised expression: "Joseph, are you crazy?" What's the good news?"
"You, usually let you stop practicing swordsmanship, and read more books on history and military affairs. You just don't listen. Joseph explained with a smile: "If the demon soldiers are well-fed, they will face the city of Clay City, which is high and deep, and they will definitely surround it and fight slowly, so as not to consume too much strength." But now the demons seem to be in a hurry to take this city. This just shows that they have no food and grass. Therefore, they wanted to rush to capture the city, seize food and strongholds, and stabilize the battle line and results. ”
The big-nosed George suddenly realized, "Yes! This is usually only a pig that is about to be killed, and the howl is fierce enough." ”
Joseph laughed: "Your analogy, although indecent, is apt. ”
The big-nosed George stood up and said, "I'm a soldier, I'm a fart and elegant, okay, I'm going to encourage morale and make them hold on." ”
"Go ahead, we're both in patience. Now it's just a matter of who has the tougher willpower. ”
Soon after, the demon army under Clay City spread across the walls on all sides like a rapidly moldy fungus blanket. A black patch that stretches to the end of the horizon.
Again, the cacophony and disgusting sound of the orc's horn sounded again. The giant pushed the siege engine, and the siege bridge set off again. Huge war drums rumbled, and the curses and mocks of the underground demon soldiers came and went.
Although the soldiers defending the city had received the encouragement they had received before the battle, everyone's hearts were still uneasy. For more than ten days, they have not received reinforcements since they arrived in Clay City.
Every day General Joseph said that reinforcements were coming. But it's just delayed. Gavin Fitik, Earl of Clay City, still hid in the castle and drank and merried. And the soldiers were fighting bloodily.
The battle cry rang out all day, and this time, the orc soldiers were even more frantic than the last time they attacked. Although they have not yet reached the city, their murderous aura is already rushing like a tide.
Once again, the enemy was within range.
"Shoot the arrows!" Joseph shouted, "Tell these ugly monsters with fangs that this time, they are still losers!"
Suddenly, ten thousand arrows were fired, and the sky was dark, and it flew down the city like a flock of crows. Countless enemies fell again on the way to the siege.
But even if the demon army dies a dozen legions, they will be replaced by a dozen new legions. Soon the moat fell again, and the battlefield between the two sides was once again stuck on the walls.
Today, there are only more than 8,000 people left in Clay City, but the morale of the soldiers is the biggest problem. After more than ten days of fighting, the morale of the soldiers defending the city had reached the point of collapse at any time.
During the fight, George with the big nose rushed over and shouted, "Joseph, the wall of the East Gate has collapsed, opening a big gap!"
"What?" Hearing this, even the battle-hardened Joseph looked uneasy: "You lead all the Star Knights to block the entrance to the east gate with all your might!"
"Yes!" the big-nosed George took the order and immediately went to transfer his troops.
But Joseph's heart was even more anxious, and he knew that he was about to win. But I'm afraid that the success will fall short.
The soldiers of the demon clan were like crazy this time, fighting desperately, and even the Metu people, who had always been timid and afraid, were extremely brave. Joseph knew that the demons must have given the order to die. Now Lance must have succeeded. As long as you hold on a little longer, victory will be in hand.
But his soldiers did not think so, and the soldiers defending the city had begun to retreat, and the south gate of their own hands was almost falling. The shattered four-pointed star banner of Idiris, burning with fire at the head of the city, seemed to be a prophecy that heralded the demise of the Duchy of Idiris.
"Look at the Clay River! Is the enemy's convoy of reinforcements arriving!" the soldiers suddenly began to talk in horror.
Joseph hurriedly looked towards the Clay River, and sure enough, countless warships with demonic blood handprints were drawn down the river. In this formation, there are at least 2,000 men and horses. Although it is not too much compared to the 80,000 people of the demon race, the enemy reinforcements are coming, which means that there will be more demon reinforcements.
At this time, the big-nosed George ran over again, grabbed Joseph who was fighting, and said, "The gap in the east gate is too big to be blocked at all." Now it's lost!Joseph, the enemy's reinforcements are also coming, let's abandon Clay City and withdraw from the north gate, otherwise this last bit of strength will be gone!"
Joseph grabbed George by the collar and said, "Then you can organize the rest of the men and defend along the streets! George, tell you! If you are still a star knight, then you will bite with your teeth, and I will bite the enemy troops in the east city to death under the city!
George said, "But we really can't hold it anymore! Old Tulius and they are all seriously wounded, and the chicken god has been stabbed 11 times, and is dying." How long are we going to hold out? Lance they haven't heard from them for more than ten days, do you want to believe that Lance will show up now?"
While the two were arguing, they heard a soldier shouting, "Look over there!
At this time, Joseph and the others hurriedly turned around and looked, just away on the southern horizon, behind the pitch-black demon army. There seems to be a flash of white. In a blur, there seemed to be a blue flag fluttering.
A silver front that grew clearer and clearer widened on the horizon. Bright armor, sharp lances, thick shields, and hopeful blue burqas.
Joseph shouted excitedly, "It's reinforcements!
Although they were far away, Joseph seemed to hear the familiar voice of the heroic Princess Eve:
"Sons and daughters of the goddess of justice!
Warriors of Idiris!
Take up your swords,
Let these demon mongrels know
What is the land of heroes!
Charge, charge, charge!" (To be continued.) )
