Chapter 958 Soldiers Coming to the City
Soldiers hate less when they are in wartime!
After Ksenia seized the command, she put on an iron-faced and selfless iron face, no one would be given face, and all the drafted people would not have any reason to escape the war. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć So many people quietly begged for Dipp's head.
Dip could not save face. So he gathered a "support team" composed of thousands of people of all kinds. However, this team called "support", but in fact, "avoiding war" is actually not weak, like Du Lilan's Riser team, Gloria's Fire Phoenix Battalion, and Diego's Duke Guard. Dipu himself also transferred Sweet Potato Udon and others to this team, and even used his power for personal gain, mobilizing some masters of the Northern Army to join.
For Dipu's behavior, Ksenia was very rare to open and close. Maybe it's pitiful, but in Wiven City, Dip can only mobilize this army.
Everyone is busy, seize every bit of time. And the city defense of Wiven City can only be said to be so-so. As a major city on the border defense line, there is certainly no shortage of defensive equipment. But there are no magic arrays or teleportation arrays here...... In a word, in the future battle to defend the city, it can only be filled with human lives.
With this in mind, Ksenia had given the order to abandon all the surrounding towns and concentrate every force in Wiven. Although this approach is a drop in the bucket, a little more is a little more, and for Yunmeng City in front of him, he has also made a decision to basically give up. Ksenia only asked: let Yunmengcheng hold on for five days. After completing the mission, allow the troops of Cloud Dream City to evacuate. It is best to retreat to Wiven City.
It can be seen that it is now the minimum requirement, just to be able to hold the city of Wiven. But bad news came one after another. On the evening of the 12th, the vanguard of the demon clan arrived in Yunmeng City, and on the evening of the same day, they broke through it with one drum. Although the city resisted all night, it was considered commendable, but on the second day, the demons had completely controlled this last city.
On the 14th, the crowd of people fleeing from the north began to appear in twos and threes, and the civilians who got the news from the surrounding area also began to flee to the city of Wiven. Order in the city began to become chaotic. Under the orders of Ksenia, Dipu sadly incarnated as a civil official, leading his own "support team" and taking charge of maintaining order in the city.
That night, demon scouts began to appear in Viven City's visual range. In the middle of the night, Wiven City unexpectedly welcomed the first batch of reinforcements. After several days and nights of rapid marching, the Dipu Guards and the more than 4,000 men and horses of the Guards actually entered the city of Wiven in time.
More than 3,000 troops were withdrawn from nearby towns. However, most of these armed forces are civilian troops, and their equipment is extremely poor. Subsequently, the remnants of Yunmeng City also fled back to more than 2,000 one after another. As for the civilians who withdrew, it was close to 200,000. Although it was possible to recruit young men among these civilians, these temporary conscripts were of little use to defend the city, except that they were numerically pretty. On the contrary, there are such a large number of refugees in the city, and the pressure on the city is much greater.
On the 15th, the large army of the demons finally appeared......
......
"Launch!"
With a roar, more than two dozen arm-thick crossbow spears flew off the strings and shot at the three catapults that protruded from the demons. Under the fire, the three catapults immediately disintegrated, and the demons pushing the catapults were also in a panic. They didn't care that they were not yet in range, so they stopped and threw boulders at the wall.
"Bang Bang Bang Bang ......" Although the city wall shook repeatedly, most of the boulders fell to the ground outside the city wall. The demon general who commanded the catapult immediately scolded continuously, and there were bursts of cheers from the city wall. But at this moment, a boulder unexpectedly shot out of range and landed on the city wall. During the tumbling, a bed crossbow and the soldiers operating it were all rolled to pieces, and even the commander who happened to be standing next to the bed crossbow was knocked away and fell to the ground inside the city. His chest was already dented, bleeding from his orifices, and he looked dead.
After a brief moment of consternation, the deputy immediately stepped forward and took over the command. His blood-red eyes were yelling, "Why are you stunned? Hurry up and get ready to shoot!"
......
The streets not far from the city walls seem to have become two worlds. Although there was fierce fighting on the other side of the city wall, the refugees sleeping on the streets lined up quietly in long queues, waiting in line for relief. Most of these refugees were the poorest, and by the time they fled into the city, they were already penniless. Therefore, the relief twice a day, morning and evening, was already the most important thing for them, and even exceeded the fear of death for the demons outside the city.
Sweet Potato Udon smoked a cigarette and put a spoonful of thin oatmeal porridge into the wooden bowl of the old woman in the front. Seeing the pleading gaze of the old woman, Sweet Potato Udon added half a spoonful angrily, then waved the spoon impatiently, and yelled: "Next!"
There are more than 20 porridge stalls around, and almost all of the soup cooks are volunteers from the city. Originally, the support team of Sweet Potato Udon was only responsible for maintaining order, so when he saw Sweet Potato Udon suddenly "kind", the bull's-eyed Federer came over with a smile: "Boss, do you want to be a saint?"
"Damn!" Sweet Potato Udon scolded with a smile and slapped a spoonful of porridge for the next refugee, "I didn't say how I made my fortune on Magic Lake Island, it's because I never push people to a dead end." ā
"That's that!" Bull's Eye Federer laughed too, "The goods here are much more beautiful than those in Mangyuan, but it's a coincidence, and there are devil cubs outside the city." Otherwise, we're going to make a fortune this time!"
Several of his subordinates laughed out loud. Taking advantage of the chaos to sell young women, these people are familiar with it. But in the current situation, which means just a few laughs, of course it is impossible to do so.
But at this moment, a beautiful young woman with a baby in her arms suddenly rushed out of the queue, she just heard the words of Sweet Potato Udon, and finally did not care about any shame. "Poof!" the young woman knelt in front of Sweet Potato Udon, and she wept, "All right, sir, just give my child a few bites to eat, and I'll ...... I'll just ...... Woo!"
Sweet potato udon, they were all stunned. He was stunned for a while before he scolded loudly: "Grass!"
Durant and several magicians watched the scene from afar, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "This is the Viscount Dip's subordinates? However, now they have been transferred to the support team by Dipu, so these few people are very dissatisfied with Dipu. (To be continued.) )
