Chapter 289: Antbeast (3)
Looking at the overwhelming attack of ant beasts under the city, Mo Cong felt a panic in his heart, the previous battle had consumed too much spiritual power, and at this moment, the fire oil and wood that could suspend the urgent need had been basically exhausted, and the strong enemy was current, if you want to keep the army, you can only give up Vincennes City.
"General, let's withdraw!" Seeing that the ant beast soldiers were divided into more than a dozen roads, driving straight in, and were approaching Vincennes City, a general turned his head and said helplessly.
Taking a deep breath, Mo Cong said in a low voice: "Let's go, what should the people in the city do?" Such a big city, millions of people" The scene of the people in the city being devoured by ant beasts appeared in front of Mo Cong's eyes, Mo Cong suddenly felt a burst of cold air hit his hair, and couldn't help but shudder, and roared angrily: "How do you let me explain to Princess Qin!"
With tears in their eyes, many generals around him stared at Mo Cong, were silent for a long time, and said gratefully: "General, we now understand why Her Majesty the Queen fell in love with you." ”
"Huh?" Mo Cong was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "At this time, what are you talking about?"
"General, I really thank you for everything you have done for the elven land, we all see it in our eyes, general, the enemy is at present, the soldiers can't be sent to death in vain, let's take the people in the city to withdraw together!"
"Yes, General, there is a river thirty miles away from the city, as long as we cross the river, it will be safe for the time being, make a slight adjustment, and when the fire oil and wood arrive, we will kill it back!" many generals persuaded one after another.
Mo Cong looked outside the city, outside the city wall, under the cold moonlight, the army of ant beasts was like a torrent advancing forward, less than ten miles away from the city.
"General, give the order quickly!"
Seeing that Mo Cong was still hesitating, several generals wiped the sweat on their foreheads and urged carefully.
The situation in front of him has no choice but to think about it, retreat is the only way, Mo Cong gritted his teeth, although he was unwilling, but he was helpless, raised his hand, and said weakly: "Withdraw!"
"The general has an order, evacuate the people, retreat!"
The order to withdraw the army was conveyed layer by layer, Mo Cong hurriedly summoned the generals of Vincennes City, mobilized all the warships to transport some of the old and young in the city, and the rest of the able-bodied people walked with the army, and sent people to demolish several wooden houses, collect fuel from the people, temporarily make oil wood, and divide 10,000 horses to break off with him.
The horn and alarm bell in the city sounded in unison, and the millions of residents in the city knew that it was Mo Congfa's order, but no one complained, the streets and alleys were brilliantly lit, and the retreating team came out of the north gate in an orderly manner. Mo Cong stood on the top of the city and saw it clearly.
"General, the antbeast is already in the range of fire, and it can't be hit!" said a thin-faced general.
Mo Cong looked back, the army of ant beasts was already approaching the city, but the people behind had just walked out a short distance, bowed their heads and groaned for a moment, gritted their teeth and said, "Wait!"
After a while, the general reported again: "General, the antbeast is approaching the moat!"
Mo Cong had already seen it clearly, looked back and saw that the evacuated people had left the city for more than ten miles, nodded, his handsome cheeks trembled slightly, and said fiercely: "Fight!"
The soldiers fought alone, their courage multiplied, and the fire oil and wood were launched like raindrops, exploding in the ant-beast army. Although the antbeast has a hard carapace and the ability to regenerate instantly, it is also helpless in the face of the merciless flames, but those guys are extremely intelligent, and seem to be driven by some mysterious power, not afraid of sacrifice, and the flames are burning on their bodies, but they do not run around, but pounce on the fire pit, use their bodies as cover, and let the latter step on their bodies to cross the sea of fire. What's even more jaw-dropping is that millions of antbeasts can still burrow on the spot, disappear instantly, avoid the flames, and the flames go out and emerge from the ground in an instant.
After all, Mo Cong used ordinary flames, and the heat energy released could only withstand it for a while, but even so, there was still a smell of scorching in the battlefield under the city.
"These perverted creatures are even more terrible than those dragons!"
Mo Cong was secretly conspiring, and the officers guarding the city came to report one after another:
"General, the firewood has all been used up, let's withdraw too!"
"Hmm!" nodded, Mo Cong went down the city, the ant beast's previous troops had already crossed the moat and began to make holes under the city wall, and smiled coldly, Mo Cong said: "You withdraw first, leave me a fast horse, and I will give them the last blow to scare and scare them." ”
"No! that's too dangerous!" the general said in a loud voice, suddenly puffing out his chest.
Mo Cong was about to scold, but several generals behind him stepped forward one after another, and said proudly: "If the general doesn't leave, we won't leave either!"
The shouts rang one after another, and in the ears of the preacher Mo Cong, the firelight reflected the resolute and unyielding faces of the soldiers, Mo Cong was helpless, nodded and said, "Okay! Withdraw!" With that, he flew on his horse and led a group of soldiers to rush out of the north gate.
The elven infantry marched at an astonishing pace, reaching the river in less than half an hour. At this time, the sky was cloudy and bright, and a large river was turbulent, and the mist on the surface of the river was shrouded, and the opposite bank could not be seen at a glance.
"Sure enough, it's a good river! With this natural danger, the two monsters can't catch up!" Mo Cong was smug, and a crucial question suddenly came to mind that there was not a single boat on the river.
"Here, without a boat, how can the soldiers cross the river!" Mo Cong looked at the few generals around him, and said with anxious eyes.
"General, don't worry, look!"
As he spoke, two warships floated in the mist, and the warships flew low along the river, like two ghost ships. Seeing that all the soldiers had boarded the warship, Mo Cong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"General, all the ferries have stopped on the other side! We have set up camp on the hill on the other side, and the flint and food that Her Majesty has brought will soon arrive. ”
"Okay!" Mo Cong nodded, tired after a long night's work, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When the warship arrived at the camp on the hill on the other side of the river, all the soldiers got off the warship silently, not wanting to alarm Mo Cong. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and several generals reported the situation in the army, and when they heard that the fire, oil and wood had been delivered, Mo Cong felt a little more relieved. Eat something casually, go on the deck, wait and see, the camp is built on the top of the mountain, the jungle on both sides is dense, a wide road through the mountains and mountains, meandering, I don't know where it leads, a big river behind the mountain is sparkling, gulls and birds gather.
Mo Cong looked intently, and suddenly found that there were two black iron bridges abruptly on the river. Just as I was wondering, someone suddenly came to report.
"General, those antbeasts have crossed the river!"
Mo Cong suddenly understood that it was not the iron bridge floating on the river staring at the slowly moving ant beasts that were attacking from multiple roads on the river, Mo Cong gritted his teeth with hatred, "These guys are so hateful! Order, send 10,000 horses to escort the people to continue to retreat, and the rest are ready to fight!"
The military orders are like a mountain, and the distribution of soldiers has been completed, and they are ready for battle, but according to the detection of Mo Cong's first-layer spiritual eye, the combat effectiveness of the ant beast is very strong. Mo Cong's heart was cold, after a battle, I don't know how many soldiers will be sacrificed, but the enemy is just an ant. Suddenly, a black cloud floated in the sky, covering the sky and the sun, and the ground was cold and windy, and an inexplicable powerful force hovered in the sky.
Seeing this, Mo Cong gasped.
