Chapter 5: The Myth of the Imperial Capital
While the human defenders retreated in the dìdū street battles, a group of humans moved in the opposite direction.
Through the sewers of Guòdìdū, the black-clothed death squad quietly sneaked behind the demon army from the west of the city.
The daredevils divided into hundreds of groups, and under the cover of the night, they reached the key points arranged in advance, as if dandelions were scattering seeds, and they were hidden all over the city.
At this time, the demons were in the chaos of robbery, and they did not notice that a small human army was lurking behind them.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the splendid fireworks bloomed in the air, and the promised signal came! The daredevils acted quickly, threw torches on the pyre pre-doused with fire oil, and threw Molotov cocktails into the wooden house with rockets covered with straw.
In the eastern part of the city, humans have prepared a large amount of fuel and flammable materials everywhere, and it is very easy to set fires.
Thousands of people lit fires at the same time, and fires were lit in streets, alleys, houses, shops, schools, institutions, restaurants, and guesthouses.
The paralyzed demon army was busy plundering and failed to stop the arson in time, because the occupation time was too short, and they had not yet developed the consciousness of the city owner, and they had no intention of extinguishing the fire.
With this indifferent disregard, the fire lost its chance to be extinguished, and the fire spread uncontrollably, engulfing block after block with raging flames and countless pillars of fire rising into the sky.
The space on fire is getting wider and wider, and the flames are sweeping through the city like a storm, flooding the city like a flood, flooding houses, high-rise buildings, and streets, and the houses that are burned by the fire are collapsing one after another, and the rumbling sound is continuous, and the roar and hiss of the demons can't bury the roar and roar of the flames.
At this time, the demon soldiers were shocked to discover that it was not one, two houses, one, or two streets that caught fire, but the entire city! They began to panic: "Oh no! The city is on fire!"
"Someone's deliberately setting fires!
Thousands of demon soldiers rushed out of the plundered neighborhood, and they wanted to leave the city through the east and south gates, but it was too late.
The flames began to block the streets from the eastern side, the roar of the flames was deafening, the sea of fire sent out huge fountains to the sky, and from the other side of the smoke and fire, there was a terrifying heat, and before the fire arrived, the smoke had already arrived.
There was thick smoke everywhere, as if a sea of clouds was tightly enveloping dìdū, and cities, streets, houses, and high-rise buildings all disappeared in the smoke.
In this sea of smoke, the demon soldiers who are not familiar with the environment can't find a way out.
In the midst of terror, panic, and wolves, the demon soldiers panicked, some howled, some yelled hysterically, and a miserable cry for help was heard from far and near: "Help, brothers, we are surrounded by fire!"
"Brothers, whoever saves us, we will give him all the treasures we have robbed!"
But this is a matter of life and death, whether it is gold or jade, it is not important compared to xìng's life.
Everyone is panicking to escape, who has the time to pay attention to them.
Many streets were blocked, some were deliberately done by humans, and some were left on the road by demon soldiers themselves, blocking the way for later people to escape.
At the time of the fire, Yun Qianxue was directing the battle on the front line.
When he heard the miserable cry from behind and saw the sky-high fire, the fire was so big that it could not be extinguished, and Yun Qianxue had a premonition that something bad was going to happen.
"Report to Lord Yulin, Dìdū Castle is suddenly on fire!"
"Why did the fire start so suddenly? Didn't anyone put out the fire?"
"My lord, this fire is very strange, it can't be extinguished by water, someone has prepared wood and oil, and the fire is very fierce!"
Yun Qianxue understood, and said angrily: "Trap, this must be Di Lin's trap! He wants to burn my army with a fire!"
The generals said in horror: "Lord Yulin, all the legions are busy retreating, let's hurry up and retreat, otherwise it will be miserable to be surrounded by fire!"
"No!" Yun Qianxue said resolutely: "Our army continues to attack!"
"My lord, are you crazy?
"Everyone, think about it! Now hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are fleeing out of the city, and we can't squeeze them out!" Yun Qianxue Xing's eyes widened: "Put to death and then live, our only way out is to defeat the current human defenders and rush to the side of the human race! Human beings can't set fire to their own positions, right?"
Only then did the generals understand: "The general is wise!"
The order was quickly conveyed, and the demon soldiers were told: "If you can't break the human defenses, everyone will be burned to charcoal!"
Life and death were at stake, and the tired and hungry demon soldiers reinvigorated the god and worked hard to fight.
Yun Qianxue suddenly drew her sword: "Rush, defeat the human race, and win a way to live!"
"Rush!" the whole demon army shouted, along the street, onslaught.
The madness of survival has eroded them, and it is not the military order that drives them behind them, but the raging fire, which is more effective than any agitation!
Thousands of demon soldiers rushed forward, facing the rain of human arrows, and they were unstoppable.
It was a crazy attack, they didn't care about anything anymore, someone fell, and immediately trampled on their companions into flesh, the corpses of the demon soldiers filled up the human trenches and traps, and the latecomers stepped on the bloody mud to advance, and the wild flow of men and horses even broke down the human barricades, and the demon soldiers poured in from the gap, and pounced on the defenders' swords and spears.
Shocked by the sudden violent aura of the demons, the human defenders couldn't parry, and the demons swept over the human positions like a whirlwind, and in the sound of ping-pong swords, in an instant, hundreds of defenders were cut into meat sauce!
Yun Qianxue was about to give the order to take advantage of the victory to pursue, when suddenly a scream sounded from the human position in front of her, and behind the human position, a sky-high red light lit up.
There was an uproar in the human position, and the human soldiers jumped out of the trenches and ran around, exclaiming: "It's on fire! It's on fire!"
"We are abandoned!"
In front of the demon army, there were panicked soldiers and citizens running around everywhere, many of them had fallen into the sea of fire and let out inhuman screams, human soldiers covered in fireballs staggered and rolled on the ground, screaming non-stop, and some people let out hysterical screams and wails: "Why! Why!" In order to avoid the sea of fire, some people even ran towards the side of the demon army.
Yun Qianxue was completely desperate: "Di Lin, you are so ruthless! You don't even let go of your own family!" Facing such a cruel and cold-blooded opponent, he felt powerless of defeat: "Finally lost to him!"
The enemy collapsed, but the battle was pointless, and if it was delayed, the two sides would be surrounded by fire, and the army would be burned to charcoals.
Yun Qianxue turned to the generals behind him and said, "There is no road ahead, we can only turn around and go out through the east and south gates!"
The flames embraced the entire city, and a large number of demon soldiers fled from the east and south gates.
The demon soldiers flow in the city like a river, and a single demon soldier is a drop of water struggling in this river, in order to win a way to survive, the demon soldiers who have lost discipline do not hesitate to draw their swords against each other, slash and trample each other.
The miserable situation of the demon soldiers was unprecedented, the officers and soldiers trampled each other to death, piles of corpses blocked the road, thick smoke billowed out, the fire was scorching, and the fleeing demon soldiers trampled on the corpses of their comrades in a scream, moan, shout and roar of the collapse of the house.
In order to escape the profit, the looted gold and silver treasures were discarded all over the streets, and the precious beads, diamonds, and gold and silver jewelry were trampled on like mud and sand mixed with the flesh and blood of the demon soldiers, and no one picked them at all, and at the moment of life and death, the treasure was nothing.
There were people everywhere crying out for help miserably, and many of the demon troops who had entered the city were lost in the raging fire.
Hordes of demon soldiers fled in the same direction, but they unexpectedly encountered a new wall of fire in front of them, so the whole team was burned to death, and hundreds of demon soldiers were burned to the point that nothing was left with a lump of black charcoal.
Many demon soldiers were cornered, and seeing that they were surrounded by fire on all sides, they desperately ran to the open area.
Later, when the humans were cleaning up the battlefield, thousands of demon soldiers' corpses were cleared from the dìdū gymnasium alone, and they were all suffocated to death by the smoke.
Even more tragic are those demon officers and soldiers hiding in the cellar or basement, who will face the fate of being roasted alive by the flames.
Under the desperate protection of the guards, Yun Qianxue finally escaped from Dìdū with a bloody way.
In the open space outside the city, a large group of frightened demon officers and soldiers had gathered, and they were all lucky enough to escape from the sea of fire and hell like Yun Qianxue.
Looking at the sky-high fire in Dìdū City, hearing the screams and wails coming from the sea of fire, the demon officers and soldiers were terrified.
Yun Qianxue lost her soul: "How can this be! I'm not having a nightmare, am I?"
Little did he know that the nightmare was far from waking up!
At dawn, the sky was twilight, and under the light of the raging fire, hundreds of warships appeared from the water of the Vanie River, and countless sails covered the water, reflecting the city of Dìdū in the fire, and the sail shadows were red, like the outstretched wings of the legendary avenging angel!
In the shocked vision of the demon officers and soldiers, the silhouette of the warship expanded rapidly, rapidly approaching the east bank of the Vanie River, close enough to see the bright armor light on the deck of the warship, and the horsetail flag fluttering above the fleet told the demon rout, at this moment, the commander of the army on the river is not an ordinary person, but a leader of the Zichuan family!
At this moment, the flotilla hoisted their flags one after another, and with the help of the blood-red sky-beating fire at the head of the city, the golden character "emperor" on the flag shone brightly.
Surrounded by dozens of blood-red torches, Di Lin stood at the bow of the ship, his black armor covered with a white cloak, and his snow-white cloak waving in the morning light.
Beside him, surrounded by tiger soldiers in bright armor, there were many generals, and the light of the armor stung the eyes of the demon soldiers.
"Dilin! Dilin!" It was as if a gust of wind blew through the entire demon army, and at the dawn of this midsummer in June, the demon rout felt the cold to the bone, and shivered involuntarily.
Suddenly, a demon soldier shouted, "Di Lin is here!"
"Di Lin is here! Di Lin is here!" The demon soldiers screamed in unison, scattered and fled, and the fleeing demon soldiers were like a river flooding, crushing the entire plain, and none of them dared to turn back and stay in place to resist.
Di Lin quickly ordered: "The fighting spirit of the enemy army has been lost, and the opportunity must not be lost. Don't wait for the rear team to come together, the whole army will land and attack!"
Under the red firelight, the warships docked one after another, and the cavalrymen in light armor shouted loudly from the boats to the shore, and the torrent of iron armor poured on the shore like a metal stream, and the snowy sabers reflected the morning light.
Di Lin in black armor and white robe is on the bank of the Ma River, under the reflection of the red firelight, his figure is slender, his ice muscles are like snow, and he is so beautiful that people can't believe it.
He did not join his subordinates in the fight, but calmly observed the enemy's situation, and carried out high-speed analysis and calculations in his intelligent brain.
Towards the densest part of the demon army, he pointed lightly with his scepter, and immediately, as if a magician had summoned the thunder in the sky, a team of light-armored cavalry swooped straight away.
On one side is the jīng sharp division that raises jīng and is ready to go, and on the other side is the frightened and chaotic frightened bow bird, as soon as it comes into contact, the demon army will collapse.
Di Lin looked at the results with satisfaction, waved his scepter again, and commanded all the cavalry troops, each in position, to kill their respective impact points.
In this chaotic and fierce battlefield, mobilizing troops and horses from all walks of life is as comfortable as mobilizing chess pieces on a chessboard.
Wherever his scepter pointed, it brought sabers and iron hooves to the demons, bringing death and slaughter.
Less than 10,000 human light cavalry, slashing and killing the demon rout like a storm, the men and horses roared like the wind, and the iron hooves roared and shook the earth, like a rapid storm and rain, and like an avalanche in the mountains, unstoppable.
Everywhere the human cavalry went, it was like a strong wind blowing down the grassland, the demon army was cut down in pieces, the horse's hooves trampled on the human body, the flesh and blood flew sideways, and the miserable sound continued.
The defeated demon army fled back to the camp, but the humans immediately followed, and the overwhelming cavalry jumped over the outer trenches of the camp and rushed into the camp.
The corpses of the demon soldiers were all filled with traps, and the hidden nails of the demon sappers were all nailed to the feet of their own soldiers, and they screamed in pain, and tears flowed down.
Yun Qianxue gathered a group of soldiers and horses and tried to defend the camp to resist, but in less than a few minutes, his soldiers and horses were crushed.
So, the battle moved to the tent room, to the camp, to the cāo field, Yun Qianxue intercepted the pursuers three times, but all three times they were scattered, and the corpses were killed everywhere.
The human race marches into the army, and the morale is like a rainbow, and nothing can stop it.
In the end, the demon soldiers were all killed, and seeing the cavalry pouring in more and more, the demon soldiers roared in unison: "The camp can't hold it, run for your life!"
As a result, tens of millions of people fled again, the campfire was trampled out, the baggage carts were overturned, the camp tents were torn down, the camp fences were trampled into pieces, people trampled on people, people pressed people, piles of corpses blocked the road, and then people had to step on the corpses of their own families to advance.
The demon army lost the camp, abandoned the warehouse and baggage, and fled.
The defeated demon officers and soldiers fled wildly along the suburban road of Dìdū, and Di Lin led the rank and tail to chase after him, chasing so closely that the human cavalry pounced on the back of the demon soldiers.
This is really a spectacular scene, on the road from Dìdū to Dak City, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers are running after each other, like a long dragon without its head and tail, mighty and mighty.
The fleeing demon army collapsed, so the pursuing human army also became a scattered mess.
The Vanguard Legion of the Kingdom commanded by Yun Qianxue can be called the Jīng Rui Division of the Kingdom, they raised troops from the Far East, experienced the Far Eastern War, experienced countless battles, and no matter which one of them can be called a hundred fierce warriors. But at this moment, they are running away, like a pack of panicked rabbits, being relentlessly chased by wolves.
It was no longer a fierce battle, it could only be called a hunt.
The cavalry of the Zichuan family is like a wandering dragon, interspersed and sprinting in the rout of the demon army all over the mountains, this wandering dragon sometimes pounces and rushes straight to the heart of the demon clan, and sometimes divides several tentacles to encircle and outflank.
The gendarmes rode in large groups and hunted forward, and the momentum was like a wild hurricane, sweeping away the living beings.
Countless war horses pounced on their front hooves, volleyed over the heads of the demon soldiers, and slaughtered into the crowd like a mad rush, in the screams and exclamations of the fleeing demons all over the mountains, the war horses galloped and galloped, rushing and killing fiercely, fighting everywhere, everywhere there were human cavalry looking for the demon rout, and the pursuing humans simply hated that they couldn't split into three, and grew three heads and six arms to kill the enemy.
Even some detachments chased after them and rushed to the front of the demon rout, so they turned around and killed the fleeing demon soldiers.
Chased closely by the humans, the demon soldiers ran so much that they couldn't even breathe, they were exhausted, lying on the side of the road and vomiting heavily, even if the humans chased in front of them, they couldn't stand up.
I often see such a scene, in the interception and outflanking of several cavalry, hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers lost their souls and had no way out, they dropped their weapons, knelt on the ground, crying and begging: "We surrender! We surrender! Mercy, give us mercy!"
But the hearts of the human soldiers were already like iron at this time, and the hatred of the country and the family blinded mercy and benevolence.
They knew in their hearts that capturing captives would only get in the way of their hands and feet, and hinder their own meritorious service in killing the enemy, so they slashed their swords and slashed without mercy, thousands of knives fell, flesh and blood flew sideways, crying and screaming constantly, demons were strewn all over the field, and the cavalry mounted their horses, murderously looking for another target.
From dìdū to Dake more than fifty miles of road, all the way are the corpses of demon soldiers who died in battle, the corpses wind on both sides of the avenue, as if adding a blood-red lace to the avenue, the blood of the demon soldiers soaked the avenue is soft, and the follow-up human troops seem to be stepping on the mud, and this bloody lace is still growing.
On the more than 50-kilometer road from Dak to Dìdū, tens of thousands of Demon Clan jīng Rui soldiers were slaughtered, including not only ordinary Demon Clan officers and soldiers, but also their high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
The commander of the Sixth Army, Vinkla, was lucky enough to escape from an ambush set up by Stirling in the province of Oss, but this time, his good fortune ran out.
Escaping from Dìdū City, he took off his conspicuous purple robes and fled shirtless in a group of routs with the human cháo, only to be intercepted by a group of human cavalry.
Seeing that his companions were killed one after another, fear frightened Wenkla's heart, and the demon legion leader issued a cry like killing a pig: "I am the head of the king** regiment! I am a high-ranking nobleman of Senea! You can't kill me! The kingdom will pay a ransom for me, you can take me as a hostage, I am a noble nobleman, a very valuable hostage......"
Gendarme: "What are these short demons yelling at?"
The companion pouted, "Who knows, let's do it, the third team has already rushed to the front!" he said, cutting off Winkla's head.
The nobleman with a prominent identity, the vanguard of the demon invasion of mankind, and the captain of the Vinkla army died worthless in this way, no one knew his identity, and his body was mixed with the demon corpses on the side of the road, and finally fed to the wild dogs.
As if there was a providence in the dark, Winkla was the first demon legion leader to rush into the human world, and he was also the first to be killed. The legion under his command burned, killed, plundered, and committed many crimes, and finally paid the price today.
On the 17th day of June in 784, this was the tragic disaster of the end of the demon army.
The group of demon legions besieging dìdū is the vanguard of the kingdom's westward invasion, and can be called the elite of the demon kingdom, and the group of generals, including Yun Qianxue, are all the generals of the demon kingdom of choice for a while.
The proud soldiers and generals of the demon clan never dreamed that they would have such a miserable day, soldiers are not like soldiers, they are not like generals, everyone is covered in mud and blood.
In front of Dilin's cavalry, they fled for their lives like rabbits being chased by wolf dogs.
The demons were burned to death in the fire, smoked to death, crushed and trampled to death on the road, and if they could survive, then they would inevitably die under the sword of the cavalry.
This day is also a glorious day for human beings that deserves to be written about, more than 10,000 human cavalry, chasing hundreds of thousands of demon soldiers for more than 50 miles, killing countless people, and the pursuit lasted for a full five hours.
Although the pursuing human troops have done their best, there are too many defeated demon soldiers to kill them all, and their lives are at stake, and the demon soldiers have tried their best to escape, and the war horses can't catch up.
In later generations, some people often sighed: "If Di Lin can place 5,000 jīng soldiers in front of him to intersperse and intercept, the 600,000 demon army and the commander will not be able to return to Duck City!"
Finally, exhausted, the demon routs fled back to Dark, and the human rebels stationed in the city opened the city gates and accepted the remnants of the demons.
The rebels looked at the defeated soldiers of the demon clan in surprise, and couldn't believe their eyes: when they came out of the battle, the army with bright armor and a shocking lineup, why was there only a handful of faltering and unbearable wolves?
They threw everything away, weapons, horses, flags, the whole battalion, all the baggage supplies, as if last night, they met a terrible demon and swallowed the whole army in one gulp, what the hell is going on?
Soon, their questions were answered: a thunderous rumble sounded at the end of the avenue, sabers and banners appeared, men and horses galloped like a storm, and the human cavalry chased after them!
The demon soldiers screamed in a loud voice: "Close the city gates!
The demon soldiers snatched the cable from the human rebels, and dozens of people hurriedly used their strength, and in the desperate screams of the demons outside the city, the city gate creaked shut, throwing the remnants of the demon army outside the city.
Seeing that the escape route was cut off, the demons outside the city let out a miserable scream in unison, and they were miserable.
They tried to flee outside, but it was too late, and the humans had already come together!
As a result, another hunting campaign was launched outside Duck City, and under the watchful eyes of the demons and human rebels at the head of the city, the humans cut thousands of demons into pieces.
The demon soldiers watched with bated breath, their hearts were pounding, their hearts were disheartened and desperate, and they were sad and helpless.
Having collected the remnants of the soldiers and horses, the human cavalry showed off their might and circled around the city of Dak, shouting loudly and inviting them to fight.
This situation is really rare, more than 10,000 human officers and soldiers surrounded hundreds of thousands of demon officers and soldiers to scold and invite to fight, and Di Lin specially arranged a few soldiers with loud voices to scold in the demon language, from the Demon God Emperor to Yun Qianxue, and then to the Demon God Emperor's mother, the scolding is so ugly, even a shameless pig will commit suicide if he hears it.
"Demon cubs, you are rotting and dying under the city of Dìdū one by one, and the Far Eastern Commander will naturally lead a large army to raid your old nest! You just have to fight it, and the orcs will take good care of your daughter-in-law! When you return home alive, if you encounter a group of green-haired half-orc demon mongrels, don't be surprised, that is the Far Eastern half-orc and your daughter-in-law working together! You have to take good care of those little cubs, they are the light of hope to improve your demon shortness!"
A burst of unbridled laughter erupted from the human side, and the demon soldiers were so angry that their hair stood on end.
But helplessly, they were really chilled, plus there was no general to preside over the city, the stragglers were leaderless, and in the face of all kinds of insults, the only reaction that the demons could make was to close the city gates and not fight.
The scolding lasted for more than two hours, and seeing that the demon army was bent on defending the city, and it was difficult for humans to take advantage, Di Lin finally decided to withdraw his troops.
The troops turned around and returned along the road they had come from, and the dust was flying, and the army gradually disappeared at the end of the avenue.
When the army was killed and collapsed, Yun Qianxue did not flee with the defeated army, he knew that the human cavalry was specifically staring at the large group of demon routs to chase and kill, and following the crowd was the most dangerous.
He burrowed into the dense grass, dug a shallow hole, and camouflaged his body with weeds and dirt, leaving only a small hole for his nose to breathe.
Relying on such a disguise, a large group of cavalry roared past him, and he didn't realize that the biggest leader of the Demon Clan's Western Expeditionary Army was beside him.
Hiding in the dirt, the roar of horses' hooves was heard in his ears from time to time, the battle horns and whistling of human beings, the sound of fighting, and the screams of dying demon soldiers.
His subordinates were being slaughtered by humans, and when he heard this voice, Yun Qianxue's heart was like a knife.
He hid until the afternoon, when he heard that the sound of fighting outside had subsided and that the humans had withdrawn their troops, and Yun Qianxue cautiously crawled out of the mud.
Seeing the mountains of corpses and blood on the avenue, Yun Qianxue was dizzy: fiasco, this is a complete fiasco, an unprecedented shame in the history of Wang **!
The avenue was full of scattered demon soldiers, they supported each other and staggered along, suppressed cries and painful moans could be heard everywhere, the line was getting longer and longer, and the atmosphere was as heavy as a funeral.
Wandering in the ranks of the remnants of the defeated generals like sleepwalking, Yun Qianxue lost his soul.
He couldn't believe that there was only such a small handful of people left in the 600,000 jīng sharp army? Could it be that the jīng rui army of the Divine Emperor was all turned into char in the fire and all of them were chopped to pieces by Di Lin?
Panic pressed on his heart like a stone, and a bottomless black hole appeared in front of him, and Yun Qianxue even trembled in his soul: With such a big loss, how can he explain to His Majesty the Demon God Emperor?
When Duck City arrived, the defeated soldiers entered the city, and Yun Qianxue stood under the city in despair, hesitating whether to enter the city, or to directly crash into the city wall and die, so as not to be embarrassed.
Thinking about that terrible end, only one thought kept circling in my mind: disaster is coming, and I have nowhere to escape!
Falling from the peak of ecstasy near victory to the bottom of the crushing defeat, he was about to collapse the god jīng.
"General! General Yulin is there!"
The defenders at the head of the city recognized his one-armed figure, and someone was running towards him, it was Mavi. Seeing Yun Qianxue, he said happily: "My lord, you are safe and sound, this is really good!"
Yun Qianxue looked at Ma Wei sluggishly. Isn't it great? The soldiers and horses suffered so much damage that they couldn't even cry.
He forcibly beat the god and asked, "Ma Wei, do you see the other generals?"
Ma Wei nodded: "Lord Meng Khan has returned to Dak City. I didn't see the other adults. My lord, let's go into the city, the city is guarded by my men, and they have not suffered any losses. ”
Dark's city presents a tragic scene, crowded with wolves bèi unbearable demon rout, the demon soldiers are black and scorched by the smoke, low moans and prison sāo sounds are constant, but the demons are naturally patient and obedient, although the wolf bèi is miserable, but there is no sāo chaos.
Seeing the black and oppressive group of soldiers, Yun Qianxue was slightly comforted: at least, there are still more than 200,000 troops surviving, and it is estimated that more remnants will come to join in a while. In that tragic situation just now, he thought that the whole army had been wiped out in the disaster.
To his surprise, several of the legionnaires returned to the camp unharmed, including the commanders of the legions, such as Monhan, Yerma, Yagomi, and Peima, while Vinkla of the Sixth Army did not appear for a long time.
The legion commanders had palpitations, knowing that Winkla might be more than lucky.
Speaking of last night's tragic situation, the legion commanders all sighed bitterly, the soldiers and horses of all departments were seriously damaged in the fire and pursuit, preliminary statistics, a fire coupled with Di Lin's slaughter, the Protoss lost at least 300,000 soldiers and horses.
Earlier, the entire army of the demon clan admired Yun Qianxue vigorously, saying that he was far-sighted, wise and brave, and lifted him up to the sky. But now that he has returned from a big defeat and loss, the commander of the regiment is all complaining, saying that he is not at all like a man who commands the army to fight.
The high-ranking generals were all filled with righteous indignation, and some people even threatened to tie up Yun Qianxue and send it to the Demon God Emperor to punish him.
Meng Khan: "I said a long time ago that human beings must have a trap! But you didn't listen to my advice, you were greedy for merit, and you lost a lot!"
Yerma: "Yun Qianxue is too arrogant, thinking that marrying the princess of the kingdom will be great! He is inexperienced, he has fallen into the trap of humans, and he is not qualified to be a competent commander!"
Yagomi: "The lord's words are very reasonable, this big defeat, Lord Yulin will not escape the responsibility." ”
Hearing the words of the legion commanders, Yun Qianxue looked at them in surprise, unable to believe that there was such a shameless person in the world.
At the last moment of the collapse of the army, Yun Qianxue led the guards to run everywhere, moving the ruins of the road, extinguishing the fire, removing the bricks and tiles to rescue the subordinates, shouting the rioting soldiers, and reorganizing the army.
He led his own troops to break through at the risk of death, trying to make a way out for the whole army, and even after being wrapped up in the chaos and leaving the city, he also organized several times to resist the pursuit of Di Lin, buying time for the retreat of the army.
And Mon Khan, Yerma, what did they do at that time?
After entering the city, Meng Khan's army was the most eroded, and the discipline of the 12th Army directly led to the collapse of the whole army.
And Yerma and Yagomi, while they struggled to fend off their pursuers, they only cared about holding their heads and running away.
When the Dilin cavalry rushed over, Yagomi was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground, and everyone could hear the screams clearly: "Brothers, help me quickly! Take me away!"
Now, these people are actually accusing themselves with all their might, and Yun Qianxue is really speechless.
He almost crushed his teeth, swallowed tears in his stomach, and hated only one thing: why didn't Meng Khan die but Winkla?
Ma Wei interjected and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is really unfair for you to accuse Lord Yulin like this. Last night, he did everything he needed to save the army, and although he was powerless in the end, it was not the fault of manpower. ”
Yun Qianxue shook her head: "Ma Wei, don't say it." As a commander-in-chief, I am indeed to blame for last night's defeat. ”
But it was too late. The legion commanders are about to find a target for anger, and everyone still has some scruples about Yun Qianxue, but for Ma Wei, the legion commanders dare to step on him like mud!
Yagomi squinted at Ma Wei: "Ma Wei, this is the occasion for the gathering of the head of the Wang ** regiment! What are you, are you qualified to speak here?"
"The Duke is so right!" Yerma roared, "Ma Wei, last night you said, 'Fight against Di Lin, if you think you will fall into a trap', this is clearly cursing us!
The legion commanders shouted, "Kill this villain!"
With the support of everyone, Yerma was even more arrogant, he drew his sword and slashed at Mavi with his head and face.
Ma Wei dodged away and shouted in panic: "Sir, what does last night's injury have to do with me? I have already warned you in advance!"
The old legion leader of the demon clan was so angry that he lost his mind, and his roar was like thunder: "You're not reminding, you're cursing us! Yes, you must be the Jiān fine sent by Di Lin to plague our god clan, if you don't kill you, my sons will not be blind to death!"
He lunged closer, swinging his sword and slashing again.
The room was narrow, Ma Wei dodged a few times, and was forced into a corner, and he shouted loudly: "Sir, if you don't stop, you're welcome! Lord Yulin, stop this madman." ”
Before Yun Qianxue could say anything, Yerma shouted: "Yu Linyun, don't interfere! This is a matter between me and this Jiān, when I kill him, you will deal with me despite military law, I will bear everything! If I don't kill this bad guy, I am really angry!"
All the legion commanders shouted in unison: "Lord Yulin, don't be troublesome!
Yun Qianxue couldn't help but hesitate. Of course, he knew that last night's disaster was not Ma Wei's fault, but at this time, the crowd was angry, and they needed scapegoats to let everyone vent their anger, and it was worth offending all the army commanders for one Ma Wei?
He was still hesitating, Yerma had already made a move, his face was hideous, and his sword danced whirringly: "Mavi, you should die!" According to the top of Mavi's head, he slashed down with a slash, and the wind whistled.
There was no way to dodge, Ma Wei had to draw his sword to parry, and the two swords clashed, with a crisp sound and sparks splashing.
A huge shock came from his hand, and the wrist of the horse maintenance knife was numb from the shock, and he was almost about to get rid of it!
Ma Wei's face turned pale: Although he is old, Yerma's strength is no worse than that of a human master in the prime of life!
His face showed anger: "Sir, you are working hard, I can't help it!" He whistled: "Someone!"
With the roar of footsteps, armed human soldiers rushed in from outside the door, and Ma Wei pointed at the demon clan leaders: "Take them down!"
The soldiers hesitated slightly, and immediately carried out Mavi's order.
The soldiers surrounded each other and pointed their swords at the commanders of the demon clan, even Yun Qianxue was no exception.
The legion commanders were shocked and angry, and Meng Khan shouted: "Ma Wei, do you want to rebel against the sword of the head of the Wang ** regiment?"
Ma Wei pushed back unceremoniously: "You want to take my life, what else can I do besides rebellion?"
"You little centaur, the Protoss can crush you to pieces in an instant!"
Ma Wei roared sharply: "Duke, don't force me! The sixteenth column stationed in Dake is the unit I brought out single-handedly, since I can lead them to rebel against the Zichuan family, I can also lead them to rebel against the Protoss! What's more, the elites of the Protoss in this house, as long as I give an order, you will become meat sauce in an instant! Although the number of your defeated soldiers is large, there is no one to command, and it is not my opponent! When the time comes, I will present your heads to the Zichuan family, and I will also have the credit of annihilating the army of the Protoss, not only am I not guilty, but I am also a great hero who saved the Zichuan family!"
Ma Wei finished speaking in one breath, his face changed, and the person was stunned: Yes, why not do this? The opportunity to create history is in his hands, this is too easy, although there are many demon soldiers in Dake City, they are all defeated stragglers.
As long as he gives an order, kills the high-ranking generals of the demon clan, and then destroys the scattered demon soldiers and horses, he can report to the family in a dignified manner: "Lord Ma Wei, the governor of Bartley Province, alone annihilated the six hundred thousand troops of the seven legions of the demon clan, and killed a total of six demon legion leaders, including Yun Qianxue, the supreme commander of the Western Invasion Army, and the danger of dìdū will be completely solved by me!"
Such a majestic feat, not to mention that no one has ever achieved it in the present era, not even the king of Zuo Jiaming in the past! He will become a national hero who endures humiliation and bears heavy burdens and tastes courage on his back, and he will make a glorious mark in the history books, and he will become a great man who saves mankind and the country, admired by all people, whose merits will be recorded in the annals of history, and whose power and glory will be even greater than in the past.
Compared to the traitors and scum of mankind who have been stinking for thousands of years, this is a world of difference!
Seeing that Ma Wei's face was uncertain and his eyes were heavy, the legion commanders were all worried.
As you know, Ma Wei is at war with heaven and man at the moment.
If the human rebels mutinied, the defeated army of the demon race would indeed be unable to resist, and the 600,000 demon army besieging Dìdū would be wiped out! No one dared to move, and no one dared to speak out, for fear of irritating Ma Wei.
In the silence, Yun Qianxue, who had been silent, spoke.
He said it slowly, but every word was very forceful: "Ma Wei, don't forget Zichuan Xiu! Don't forget the revenge of killing your brother and destroying the family!"
Ma Wei Huoran raised his head, his red eyes glaring at Yun Qianxue.
"Ma Wei, if you want to rejoin the Zichuan family, I'm afraid it's too late! Even if you can destroy the entire army of our Protoss, the Zichuan family may not be able to accept you! Do you have to think about it, who is the human general opposite you? It's Di Lin! He killed your eldest brother, he is Zi Chuan Xiu's hardcore brother! He will watch you make great achievements and return to the human world, and then rise above him, and he will regain power to take revenge on him? How stupid would Di Lin be? If you surrender, he will not hesitate to kill you, and then take all the credit and reputation for himself! With his reputation and status, if he kills a traitor, who will hold him accountable? Ma Wei, think about it, the way back has been broken, and you can only follow our Protoss wholeheartedly!"
Ma Wei showed sadness, he joined the demon army, and wanted to use the power of the demon clan to avenge his family, but it turned out to be difficult step by step, not only the human beings scolded and wanted him, but the demons also despised him, and he suffered a lot of snubbing and ridicule.
If Yerma really beheaded himself just now, who would feel sorry for himself? Who would mourn for himself? Who would offend the authentic nobles of the royal ** team for a defector?
This is the end of betraying his motherland! If he had known this earlier, he would rather fight against Zi Chuanxiu in an upright manner, and it is not certain who will kill the deer! If he makes a wrong step, his life will be ruined, and what is even more sad is that, just as Yun Qianxue said, he really can't turn back!
He raised his head, and the murderous aura in his eyes had eased: "Lord Yulin, I am loyal to the Protoss, but your lords are too deceitful! Could it be that last night's disaster was caused by me? Am I happy that the Protoss will be defeated and lost? How can I impose a sword on me through no fault of mine?"
"This matter is indeed a misunderstanding!" Hearing Ma Wei's tone loosen, Yun Qianxue immediately picked up: "After losing the battle, the old lord is in a bad mood, and I blame you." As for trying to kill you, that's absolutely no such thing! The old lord is playing with you!"
The legion commanders hurriedly helped: "Ma Wei, you must not take it seriously! we can treat you like a brother!"
"Sir, quickly make amends to Brother Ma Wei, you have gone too far, you see, Brother Ma Wei is angry!"
Under the enthusiastic urging of everyone, Ma Wei finally said: "Lord Yulin, please give me a promise of a thousand gold, promise that you will never pursue this matter, and you will not retaliate against me after the rì, otherwise I will never be at ease." ”
"Yes!" Yun Qianxue immediately agreed: "I, Yun Qianxue, the royal family of the Protoss, and the commander of the Second Legion of the Kingdom, swear to the Great Demon God that I will never investigate the matter of today, let alone take revenge on His Excellency Ma Wei!
After following Yun Qianxue, the demon clan leaders swore an oath one after another, and even the arrogant Yerma muttered an apology to Ma Wei, saying, "I'm joking, don't you care!"
Ma Wei smiled bitterly: If he hadn't fought back, I'm afraid he would have been chopped to pieces by Yerma at this time, right?
He also said wittily: "Sir, it's me who is not good and makes you angry." You will guide the younger generations more in the future. ”
He dropped the sword in his hand and waved at the guards, "It's okay, you guys go out." ”
The crisis was resolved, the legion commanders slipped out quickly, and Ma Wei saluted Yun Qianxue and left.
Yun Qianxue didn't keep it, he was worried about how to report this fiasco to the Demon God Emperor. He opened the cantata, and saw that the words of last night's victory, "Victory refers to rì can be waited" The ink has not yet dried.
Yun Qianxue smiled bitterly and tore the piece to pieces.
Before he could write a new chapter, the door curtain was opened, and a tall demon walked in, and when he saw him, Yun Qianxue jumped up suddenly: "Lord Leo, why are you here?"
Leo is the commander of the Kingdom Guard Brigade and a close retainer of the Demon God Emperor, and has always been inseparable from the Demon God Emperor.
As far as Yun Qianxue knew, His Majesty the Divine Emperor and the First Legion were still in the country, so why did Leo suddenly appear in Dak City in Dìdū?
Looking at Yun Qianxue in silence, looking at his scars all over his body and the tattered clothes that he didn't have time to change, Leo's eyes showed pity, and he said very flatly: "General Pony, Your Majesty has summoned you and the generals, and come with me immediately." ”
"Lord Duke, as you can see, our army has just suffered a crushing defeat, and the army is in dire need of settling, and I really can't take a break from returning home. ”
"Your Majesty is nearby. Leo said word by word: "His Majesty and the Guards Brigade are stationed in Gondwala. General Horse, you don't have to cāo heart about the affairs of the army, Your Majesty has its own arrangements. ”
Gondwala is a small town located less than 100 miles from Dak City. The Demon God Emperor's summoning list included not only the legion leaders, but also Ma Wei. A detachment of Guards Brigade soldiers escorted them to their destination.
At the end of the day, the procession arrived at the town of Gangwala, where the kingdom's most powerful 1st Regiment was stationed, and the town was surrounded by tall and strong officers and soldiers of the Guards Brigade, and turned into a large barracks, and the outer fields were orderly covered with white tents, and patrols and horses shuttled back and forth in an extremely tight manner.
In the tent with the golden lion banner fluttering, the God Emperor summoned his beloved general.
All the generals knelt down in unison and proclaimed: "The greatest monarch under the heavens, the emperor who rules the boundless earth, the master of the four seas, the son and grandson of the great demon god, the proud son of the sky, the holy monarch with supreme wisdom and force......"
"This set of false gifts will be saved. The Demon God Emperor interrupted them. Seeing the blood on the faces of the beloved generals, and seeing the pain, sorrow and despair in their eyes, His Majesty the Divine Emperor was both sad and shocked.
"Tell me, what happened to the Vanguard Legion?
Seeing the clear inquiring gaze of the Divine Emperor, to personally report such an unprecedented and complete fiasco, Yun Qianxue's mouth was like a fire hidden, and it was difficult to speak.
But as the commander of the forward corps, he couldn't help but answer: "Echoing the majesty, our army has attacked dìdū. ”
"Ever?"
"But then the humans counterattacked, and we couldn't hold it. ”
"The human race actually won you in the field?" the Demon God Emperor said in surprise.
"Weichen was terrified, our army was completely defeated in this battle, and Di Lin won a complete victory. ”
The God Emperor looked at the legion leaders in surprise: "The Great Demon God is above, what's going on?"
No one could answer him, and the room was so quiet that it was palpitating.
The Demon God Emperor's eyes were like lightning, and he swept over the legion leaders: "What about Winkla, why didn't he come?"
"Weichen is terrified, Lord Wenkla has sacrificed his life to defend the country. ”
"Great Demon God!" Demon God Emperor Huo Ran stood up: "The commander of the legion has all died in battle! So, how many of our soldiers have died?"
Yun Qianxue raised his head, so the Demon God Emperor saw that his eyes were full of tears, and the famous general of the kingdom cried bitterly: "Weichen really doesn't know...... More than half of the Vanguard Corps suffered casualties, and Dìdū remained in the hands of humans. ”
The Demon God Emperor's face turned white, so all the legion commanders were also frightened and turned white, and they all kowtowed.
The crowd waited quietly, waiting for the thunder and fury to fall from heaven, and they all trembled.
Pathos appeared on the Demon God Emperor's face: "Winkla, poor child...... He's still so young!"
Looking at the generals, he became fierce: "What the hell is going on? Yun Qianxue, you give me a good explanation!"
Yun Qianxue kowtowed again and again: "Weichen is incompetent, the army is defeated and humiliates the country, please give me a death to complete the army, Weichen is grateful!"
"Yun, you have always acted cautiously, even if you can't win a big victory, it's not easy to lose a big way, is there anything inside this?"
