Chapter 142: Night Attack
After a brief analysis and statement of the entire battle situation, everyone's expressions became solemn.
The city lord of the copper city frowned and asked, "Then what do you mean?" ”
"I want the people of Tongcheng to start today, they will successively evacuate to several cities in the rear, while retreating, resources like ore, all that can be taken away, under the premise that the reinforcements have not arrived, I can at most hold another round of siege, after a round of siege, if the reinforcements have not arrived, then I will choose to preserve the troops, abandon the copper city, and retreat to Shangyuan City, and then leave an empty city for those monsters." Li Qing said his plan with a calm face.
After listening, the city lord said, "Isn't your idea too pessimistic?" It can be seen from today's siege battle that although those monsters are very strong, their number is relatively limited, and besides, how can we say that it is a small victory today, the confidence of the soldiers has just been established, and now let the people of Tongcheng evacuate, this kind of move is probably a bit demoralizing. ”
It was undeniable that the city lord of the same city was right, and the whole scene fell into a short silence for a while, just when Li Qing was about to say something more, Qin Yi, who had been sitting next to him without saying a word, looked at Li Qing and said that he had something to say.
Seeing this scene, Li Qing raised his hand, and Qin Yi, who had received permission, suddenly spoke: "I agree with the general's strategy, this is not a pessimistic or not pessimistic question, after the retreat of the people of Tongcheng, it is a good thing for us to have no worries, as for the issue of affecting the morale of the soldiers, we said that the battle will become more fierce in the future, in order to avoid not affecting the people in the city, so they are temporarily evacuated, after all, this is for the sake of the people's safety, I believe that the soldiers and the people of Copper City will be able to accept it. ”
Hearing Qin Yi's words, a trace of surprise flashed in Li Qing's eyes, because he thought of going together, so he directly responded, "I think so too." ”
"Well, since you've decided, then I have no opinion."
Since they all said so, the city lord of the same city didn't say anything more.
"I don't know much about war, so I'll do it according to the wishes of the generals."
"Well, this evacuation of the people of Tongcheng will be hard for the city lord."
"Where the duty lies, we have known each other for so many years, and the general does not need to be so polite."
After saying this, the city lord of the same city got up directly and said, "I'm afraid there are a lot of things to be busy with this evacuation, so I'll take a step first." ”
"Okay, I'll transfer some people from the army to help you maintain order, so that there won't be too many people at that time."
After the two sides reached a consensus, as soon as the news was notified, it was said that it had no impact at all, it must be false, but Li Qing had been a general in Tongcheng for so many years, and the two were undoubtedly deeply trusted and loved by the people of Tongcheng.
At the same time, on the other hand, the situation on the side of the copper city, Duoduo, who had just found a place to camp and rest, obviously couldn't know, at this time it was in an irritable mood, the other party's fire burned too timely, forcing him to retreat, after all, even if it is an orc, it is not invulnerable, invulnerable, when it should die, it will still die.
Moreover, the orcs still maintain some of the habits of beasts, such as fear of fire!
But how to say it, he is also an old driver of the vertical and horizontal bronze rank, Duoduo thinks it thoroughly, the other party can block it temporarily, but it does not mean that he has beaten it, these are two different things, fight hard head-on, and Duoduo is full of confidence in the combat effectiveness of the orc army under his command.
"I want to see how long your fire can last!"
Just as Dodor was thinking this, a werewolf scout who came running quickly poured cold water on it on the spot.
"Great Chief!"
After hearing the scout's words, Dodor was shocked.
"Take me there!"
Follow the werewolf guard all the way to the outside of the military doctor's tent, looking at the elephant man who fell outside the tent, it has almost countless arrow wounds on its body, the most serious of which is undoubtedly injured by the opponent's heavy crossbow arrows, and at this moment, these are not the point, the point is that the elephant man is lying there sickly at this time, almost motionless, if it is not still breathing, Duoduo must suspect that it is dead!
Quickly grabbing an arrow from the elephant man, the werewolf's keen sense of smell made it clearly smell the stench mixed with blood.
"Xia Qi!" One pinch off the arrow, Duoduo's whole face at this time can be said to be iron-blue, thinking back to the previous battle, the archers on the opposite side suddenly frantically opened their bows and arrows, it thought that the other side was panicked, now that I think about it, the other party is simply sinister!
These guys actually soaked feces in the arrows! The feces can be said to carry a large number of germs and parasites, and the arrows stained with feces pierced the soldier's body and made direct contact with the blood, so you can imagine what will happen! The other party is trying to spread the disease among its orc army!!
After a burst of rage, a palpable impatience rose in Dodor's heart, how many soldiers in its orc army had been shot in that siege battle?
Thinking of this, Duoduo suddenly shouted.
"Quick! Tell all the soldiers to clean their wounds! Hurry up!! ”
That's right, this is another double-edged sword that Li Qing wielded, compared to the fire outside the city wall, this move is that he doesn't want to use means even more, not because of lack of morality, but because once the epidemic spreads, it can't be controlled by manpower, if it spreads here, even they themselves will have to suffer together.
However, this time, Li Qing miscalculated, of course, in the final analysis, the reason is not him, he has never been at war with the orc civilization before, and at the same time he doesn't know what the orc is, how can he understand the characteristics of the orc civilization?
Don't say it's him, even if Xia Qi is standing here, it's useless.
There are gains and losses, orcs have a physical advantage far beyond ordinary humans, every orc, congenital does not need training, and the basic physique is obviously stronger than humans, and a race like elephant people, the strength is even more exaggerated, a blow on the city wall, the destructive power is probably no less than the siege machine, if the two armies fight head-on, the army of the orc civilization may occupy an almost overwhelming advantage! But on the other hand, this civilization is bound to have its flaws.
And one of the flaws is the relatively poor hygiene, if these characteristics are also set to a value, then hygiene, the orc civilization is definitely negative!
In other words, in fact, there are frequent outbreaks of epidemics in the orc civilization, and the orcs who can live in this environment will undoubtedly produce quite powerful antibodies in their bodies against all kinds of viruses and bacteria.
It's not that these antibodies can make them completely immune to epidemics, but that orcs who have these antibodies in their bodies are far less likely to be infected with diseases than ordinary humans, and things like this, even Xia Qi can't even know.
In this way, if Li Qing's double-edged sword is swung towards the human army, it may have a significant effect, but if it is swung on the orc army, the effect will be greatly reduced.
After repeatedly telling the old military doctor of the fox man who went out with the army to save the elephant man's life, Duoduo with a gloomy face quickly left the military doctor's tent, although the orcs have antibodies to the epidemic, but in the body of Duoduo, the werewolf race, after all, it has the soul of a modern person, and when it hears words such as epidemic and plague, it will inevitably be a little nervous in its heart.
He quickly said to the lion man guards beside him: "Go to all parts of the barracks to check, and if you find other sick soldiers, you will immediately isolate them separately to avoid contagion." ”
After the order, Duoduo, who was a little relieved, bit his fangs hard, and the two rows of fangs kept colliding together, making a 'click' sound, and the black wolf's face gradually became hideous and terrifying.
"Xia Qi, I will definitely settle this account with you!"
At night, the walls of the copper city were brightly lit, and the soldiers who had only experienced a battle to defend the city during the day were still not slackened at night when they were on duty.
There was no moon to be seen tonight, and the thick clouds covered the whole sky, and under the sky, except for the light of the fire on the head of the bronze city wall, the hills outside the city could be said to be so black that they could not see their fingers, and they almost merged with the whole night.
However, at this moment, a soldier standing on the wall seemed to see something in the night, subconsciously rubbed his eyes, and at the same time asked his comrades beside him, "Hey, did you see ...... just now?"
Halfway through the words, with the pair of eyes that lit up in the dark, a relentless rain of arrows directly swept the walls of the copper city, and the soldier who spoke was killed by several arrows on the spot.
Looking at the comrades around him who were killed by the random arrows, one of the soldiers, who was lucky enough not to be shot, fell on the wall, and roared wildly against the pain on his body.
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! ”
The hoarse shouts broke the silence of the night, and in the barracks not far from the city wall, Li Qing, who had not fallen asleep, woke up suddenly after hearing something faintly and sat up directly from the bed.
Before he had time to think about it, Li Qing put on his coat and armor while walking quickly outside, in the entire barracks, it was obvious that he was not the only one who heard this shout, and many soldiers who had woken up like him had already rushed out with weapons.
"Ring the alarm! All the people who woke up rushed straight to the city wall! ”
As soon as Li Qing finished speaking, several soldiers who rushed to the city wall according to his orders instantly fell to the ground in a miserable scream, and in the dark night, those pairs of green eyes looked so infiltrating and terrifying!
"Those monsters...... It's in! ”
