Chapter 545: Turning Defeat into Victory
The orcs retreated three miles away, and as they had done last time, without making any stops, they immediately began to assemble a new formation.
As Ye Feng expected, this time it was the demon beasts in front, the tooth beasts at the front of the formation, and the orcs at the back of the formation, they were gearing up with a victorious expression on their faces.
Looking at the city walls again, the atmosphere seems a little dull.
Without saying a word, the soldiers threw the corpses of the demon beasts and orcs outside the city, silently carried the remains of the robe to the side, and the Minzhuang team composed of the residents of the city took away the corpses and placed them in a unified manner.
More than half of the 200,000 defenders of the southern wall suffered casualties, most of them dead and seriously wounded, and few lightly wounded.
The worst thing is the master group, there are less than forty percent left, and all of them are injured, seeing them covered in blood, Ye Feng felt extremely uncomfortable.
These masters are the backbone of the Ghost Face Army, most of them were single-handedly promoted by him, and they made great contributions to the southern and northern wars.
"Everyone has worked hard, and we will definitely defeat the enemy. He said in a deep voice.
"Yes, our Ghost-Faced Legion has never lost a battle, not before, not now, and not in the future!" shouted a partial general with a wounded right arm, his words lifting everyone's spirits.
Ye Feng nodded: "Yes, the Ghost Face Legion is invincible, even if the enemy is a demon beast and orc that is a hundred times stronger than us, we don't want to take any advantage from here!"
After pacifying the soldiers, he explained to Ying Luoyue: "Immediately transfer troops from the other three city walls to supplement the defensive forces here, the enemy will definitely attack this side, and it doesn't matter if the defenders of the other three city walls are less." β
The battle has reached such a point, unless the orc's brain is broken, the words will definitely continue to attack the southern city, because this place will soon be breached.
In addition to coming to reinforce the city wall, I feel it is necessary to arrange a team of men and horses behind the city wall to enter the battle after the city wall falls, so as not to prevent the enemy from rushing into the city for a long time. β
"Good idea, let's do it!" Ye Feng said in a deep voice.
After two rounds of attacks, the casualties of the orcs reached 1,500, and at this moment there were only 2,000 troops left, and the demon beasts lost about half, and it was roughly estimated that there were still more than 5,000 heads that could continue to fight.
Figures flickered on the city walls, and the defenders from the west and east were the first to arrive, and as a new force, their arrival invisibly boosted the morale of the soldiers.
Ying Qi walked over from the side and whispered behind Ye Feng: "We only have four million feather arrows left, more than seventy percent of the medium-sized stone-throwing machine has been destroyed, and the stone projectiles of the large-scale stone-throwing machine are only enough to sustain three rounds of salvos. β
"What?" Ye Feng chuckled in his heart, this is really a house leak that coincides with rain, and it does not have an advantage in itself, and the materials for defending the city are almost exhausted, what can you use to compete with the enemy?
Ying Qi glanced at Ye Yunyang next to him and said, "Senior brother is right, the main purpose of the orcs' previous two attacks was to consume our supplies, and their purpose was achieved. β
Ye Feng smiled bitterly: "Could it be that the naΓ―ve really wants to die in the Ghost Face Army, I'm unwilling!"
Ying Qi glanced at Ye Yunyang again, saw that he was looking at the sky with his head held high, and said, "Senior brother, do you have a good way to help everyone tide over the difficulties." β
Ye Yunyang retracted his gaze, shook his head and said, "Not yet, whether you can defeat the enemy or not, I'm afraid you really have to hope for the sky!"
Even he didn't have an idea, it seemed that there was really no hope.
But he immediately added: "As the saying goes, there is no endless way, and I think there is still a chance." β
Ying Qi sighed and shook his head, what other chance can there be, even if most of the soldiers and soldiers and civilians can break through, but after this defeat, the Ghost Face Legion will be slumped, and it will be difficult to recover its former glory.
If even the Ghost-Faced Legion can't defeat the orcs, the other rebel groups in Great Qin will be disappointed and bow down to the orcs.
In the eyes of the Qin people, the Ghost Face Legion is a banner that must not fall.
However, the current situation is very unfavorable for the Ghost Face Army, relying on the tall city walls and defensive weapons can not stop the enemy's footsteps, once the other party rushes into the city, it will become a more fierce street battle, and there is no chance to turn over.
Ye Yunyang looked at the right rear of the enemy's phalanx, and said suspiciously: "Who is their command center, and how do they convey orders to each other?"
There were a few tiger men standing there, plus a minotaur holding a bullhorn.
Pu Lao said: "They seem to have arranged strategies and tactics from the beginning, so they don't need anyone to give orders, they just need to do what needs to be done according to the timing." β
Reasonable!
Ye Yunyang suddenly realized that although orcs have a certain amount of intelligence, they cannot be compared with the human race, and improvisation is not suitable for them, although it will seem a little old-fashioned to act according to the predetermined plan, at least they will not make mistakes.
In other words, killing their so-called commanders will have no effect on the actions of the large forces.
Woo!
The Minotaur blew its horn, and according to previous experience, when it blew for the third time, the monsters and orcs would attack.
Ye Feng glanced down at the crumbling city wall, he wanted to say a few more words of encouragement, but he couldn't say a word when the words came to his lips.
Leave it to fate!
Woo!
The second horn sounded.
The soldiers have resolute eyes, and everyone knows one thing, they may die if they fight, but if they don't fight, they will die without a place to be buried.
As for surrender, don't mention it, the soldiers of the Ghost Face Legion have arrogance and arrogance, and they swear not to surrender.
Ye Yunyang turned his head to look at Ying Qi and said, "Senior sister, are you interested in going down with me to kill the enemy?"
Ying Qi took a deep breath: "Of course, killing one is enough, killing two earns one!"
He shook his head: "This sounds very arrogant, but it doesn't taste right, as if you want to die generously, you can't die." β
Woo!
With the third horn, the fanged beast raised its four hooves and began to charge, followed by other monsters and orcs.
There are very few medium-sized stone throwers and bed crossbows on the city walls, but the people who control them are very dedicated, still shooting as fast as they can, trying to kill a few more enemies.
Ye Feng ordered in a deep voice: "The crossbowman listens to the order, and after shooting all the feather arrows in his hand, all of them are replaced with melee weapons." β
"Yes!" the soldiers replied in a loud voice.
The tooth beast is getting closer and closer to the city wall, six hundred meters, five hundred meters......
Everyone knows exactly what will happen if these ugly-looking guys rush under the walls.
Airplanes!
Buzzing...... Airplanes!
The sound of flying wings diving sounded in the sky, Ye Feng wondered, obviously they didn't let the flying wings participate in the battle, they dared to act without permission?
The reason why the flying wings are not used is because the incendiary bombs are used up, and instead of doing nothing in the air, it is better to stand by in the city, and at the critical moment to save some injured generals.
He soon realized that something was wrong, there were hundreds of flying wings in the air, and all of them were medium-sized wings, and there were more than thirty flying wings in the Ghost Face Legion, and there were many individual wings and few medium-sized wings.
He fixed his eyes and saw that all the flying wings had the emblem of the Han Empire on them.
"It's Han!" he exclaimed.
Ye Yunyang smiled and said, "That's right, it's the Han master group who is here to help us get through the difficulties!"
"You arranged it?" asked Ying Qi with wide eyes.
He nodded, "yes!"
"Then you didn't say it earlier!" Ying Qi was anxious, and a little angry.
He shrugged: "I'm not sure when they will arrive, it's empty and meaningless to say that it's early! Moreover, it is easy to cause luck among the soldiers, in case the master group fails to arrive in time, everyone will be disappointed! And I can't be sure of the number of master groups, now I can tell you very responsibly, all the martial artists who came are above the Tongyuan Realm, and the emperor has transferred about eighty percent of the masters of the Han Dynasty, more than 1,000 people!"
Ying Qi wants to theorize with him, which is obviously good news that can arouse morale, why not say it in advance, even if it is just a hope, and even if it cannot be realized in the end, at least it can give the soldiers a hope.
Ye Feng rushed in front of her and said, "Great! The Great Han Master Regiment is here, soldiers, we have been saved!"
More than a thousand masters above the Abyss Realm, it is enough to clean up the demon beasts and orcs.
The reason why Emperor Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty has such a big deal is because he has just eliminated the four major races in the ancient ruins, and he does not have to worry about being attacked by orcs in a short period of time, and the masters will not have an impact on the security of the empire if they leave for a while.
During the dive, the masters above jumped down one after another.
The first to land were the martial artists of the Yaokong Realm, led by Wu Qinglin, the master of the Heavenly Kingdom, and all the nine masters of the Fenglin faction came, as well as another fifty Titled National Teachers.
As soon as they landed, they immediately launched an attack on the demon beasts, and the sword light and sword shadows flashed, and the demon beasts fell one after another.
Then there were hundreds of Golden Body Realm martial artists, as well as an even larger number of Tongyuan Realm martial artists, which instantly formed an impenetrable defense line, blocking the enemy at a distance of three hundred meters from the city wall.
"No one is allowed to release arrows!" Ye Feng roared, for fear that a certain soldier would let go of the bowstring in excitement, although he would definitely not be able to hurt the master of the big man, but his face was not good-looking.
Ye Yunyang smiled at the puffing Ying Qi and proposed, "Senior sister, let's go down together to kill the enemy?"
"I'll settle the account with you after I've defeated the enemy!" she snorted and jumped off the wall.
Ye Yunyang smiled and shook his head: "Father, I don't understand why she has such a big opinion...... Forget it, it's hard to guess what the girl is thinking, I'll go kill the enemy first. β
He also flew down to the city, Pu Lao had already entered the enemy formation, and was greeting Wu Qinglin and others who were familiar with him.
Ye Feng was full of confidence, glanced at his wife, and said with full confidence: "Anyone above the Gathering God Realm, as long as they can still wield the knife, follow Ben Shuai to go down to kill the enemy, and the Ghost Face Legion will win!"
"Victory!" roared the soldiers.
The arrival of the Han master group made the original enemy situation take a sharp turn, and the enemy changed from an absolute advantage to a powerless fightback.
The master regiments of the two sides combined their forces, and although the ratio of troops to the enemy was 1 to 6, they still had a clear upper hand.
Zheng Zhiyuan brandished his spear and stabbed three orcs to death in a row, and said to Ye Yunyang next to him: "Uncle Xiao, why are you so little enemy, you can only kill six per person on average, it's too unpleasant." β
Ye Yunyang scolded with a smile: "You can be content, a million ghost face troops are not their opponents, let them also taste the taste of being bullied by masters, you talk so much nonsense, maybe you can't even kill six, and the battle will be over." β
Zheng Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows: "No, I have to kill at least sixteen of them before I can afford to come all the way." β
The orcs were dumbfounded, and there was no suspense about the war at this moment.
On the city wall, the shouts of the soldiers rose higher and higher, and the haze of being pressed and beaten by the enemy before was swept away.
