Chapter 260: Fruitful Battles (I)
At dawn, the sun shone on the land as always, but at this moment, on the camp of the vanguard army of the three major city-states, it was a bloody scene.
All kinds of tents were burned to the point that only some gray and black brackets remained, and the ground was full of soldiers who had been burned or smoked to death, because they were attacked in their sleep, so they only wore close-fitting cotton or cloth clothes, and after the fire, the residues of these clothes were charred and black, and the soldiers' bodies were connected together, and they looked extremely chilling.
Some places are still burning, black pillars of smoke are raised high, flags are littered everywhere, representing the glory of the city-state, at the moment it is just garbage stained with dirt and all kinds of filth, the ownerless war horses are walking around, occasionally stopping to eat a few mouthfuls of tender green grass, human wars, it seems to have little to do with them, when there are humans they are mounts, the human side is defeated, they are either slaughtered or continue to be mounts, so, two choices.
The enemy who attacked the camp had already gone away, and some soldiers or officers who were lucky enough to survive crawled out from all corners, seeing this miserable scene in front of them, everyone had a feeling of wanting to cry without tears, and when they saw that the big tent of the Chinese army in the center was burned to the ground, and only some residues remained, hundreds of soldiers who did not know whether they were officers or soldiers became heavy in their hearts, if all the senior officers were killed in battle, well, let's just count them dead in battle, and they were still alive, it is conceivable how the adults of the three major city-states would deal with them!
Especially among the commanders this time, there was also the youngest son of the lord of the Sumor city-state, one of the three major city-states, among them, suddenly. Hundreds of officers and soldiers were like crazy. Running quickly and frantically towards the wreckage of the central tent. Then they began to frantically search for Su Cheng's cunzài, and finally, not far from the central tent, Su Cheng's head was found with wide eyes and dead eyes, and all the soldiers and officers were in despair.
The city lords of the three major city-states are not good people with good eyebrows and good intentions, otherwise, how could they survive on this land and lay such a foundation? All of them are the same characters as the heroes, and now that one of the sons of the heroes is dead, just thinking about it with their toes knows the consequences, they will definitely die, they must go to Su Cheng to be buried, and maybe their families and relatives will be implicated.
Hundreds of officers and soldiers burst into tears at the thought of the familiar smiling faces of their relatives, and then, one of them, who looked like an officer, casually picked up a long sword and slashed at his neck. The blade of the sword slashed deep into the officer's neck, and blood flowed out in large streams. After a few moments, a large pool of dark red blood accumulated on the ground, and the officer slowly collapsed in a pool of blood.
Seeing this scene, the rest of the officers and soldiers picked up the swords at hand and ended their lives in various ways, adding a touch of bright color to this bloody battlefield.
In fact, the 100,000 vanguard army was not wiped out, although Lynn and they had the advantage of night attacks, and Lynn, a high-level mage, set fire everywhere, but in the dark, there were not many enemy troops who died under the swords of two thousand ice demon warriors, at most there were 10,000 people, most of them were burned to death or trampled to death by their own people, and many soldiers took advantage of the chaos to flee to the rear, and the soldiers of the vanguard army who died on the scene were at most fifty or sixty thousand, and forty or fifty thousand people fled frantically in the night, Lynn They only had two thousand, so they didn't chase and kill these defeated soldiers, and kept them, it was still useful!
The forty or fifty thousand surviving soldiers of the vanguard army walked in a mess on the field, the sun blazing the moisture in their bodies, but they just continued to walk forward in a daze, stopped and drank two sips of the river water, and then continued to run, although there was no enemy chasing after them, they were still extremely afraid, those enemies who attacked at night were really as terrible as demons.
It was not until late evening that these rebels met the Chinese scouts of the city-state coalition army, and under the guidance of the scouts, these remnants of the defeated soldiers were integrated into the Chinese army camp as if they had the backbone, and after a short rest, the officers among them were immediately invited to the Chinese army's tent.
The Chinese army of the alliance of the three city-states had as many as 500,000 men, and the rear army had 400,000 men, and many siege equipment were slowly advancing in the rear from a distance of hundreds of miles.
"Who attacked you?" In the big tent of the Chinese army, Gormo, the lord of the city-state of Golmo, asked loudly, and dozens of high-ranking officers only said for a long time without saying any useful information, as soon as the enemy attacked, they ran away, they were the fastest runners, so they survived, where do they know who the attacker is.
Holm is a middle-aged majestic man with a big hooked nose, even if he is sitting, his body is taller than the two city lords next to him, obviously, he is not a good-tempered person, seeing that these officers can't let out a fart for a long time, he immediately said angrily: "Pull them all out and behead, a group of waste, it is a waste of military food to survive, it is better to kill!" As soon as his words fell, a group of hideous-looking and full-smelling guards stepped forward and wanted to pull them out and behead them.
"Wait!Gormour, don't mind if I ask a few more questions?" A middle-aged man with a grim expression next to Gormo suddenly spoke, his name is Sumor, he is the lord of the city-state of Sumor, and the name of the lord of the three city-states is the name of the city-state, these city-states are named after their founders, and their descendants inherit this name, and they inherit that glory, of course they have their own names, but when they are outside, they all use the name of the city-state.
Holm snorted and did not object, so Sumour whispered about the officers, such as when the attackers attacked the camp, how large it was, whether there was anything out of the ordinary, and, finally, what Sumor was most concerned about, whether his son had escaped with them!
The officers' answers made Su Moore's heart cold, he pointed at the dozens of officers and said coldly: "Pull out, cut it in half!" Su Moore's words did not have much emotional component, but it made everyone shudder, beheaded, this is a much more painful punishment than direct beheading, many people will not die immediately after beheading, but slowly taste the pain of their own death.
Ignoring the officers' pleas for mercy, Sumor took a slight breath and said to Holmes and the other city lord: "According to these nonsense words, the attack should have taken place before dawn, although they say that there are many enemies, but according to my estimate, the number should not be more than 10,000, otherwise, it would not be possible for so many people to escape back, and finally, there are fire magicians in this sneak attack team, because they saw the fireballs flying." Except for these soldiers who escaped, the rest of the vanguard army should have been wiped out! Including my son, such a small attacker would never be captured!"
In Sumor's last sentence, there was finally a trace of sadness, and after a pause, he continued: "Those deserters, except for those who are still in good health, all those who have a mental breakdown and are injured are imprisoned, and when they arrive at Wikiport, all bring them to sacrifice flags, so that all soldiers can understand that we can only move forward, not retreat, otherwise we will end up like them! In addition, it is strictly forbidden for those deserters to spread rumors in the army, and if they find one, they will kill another!"
The two city lords of Holm and Homs glanced at each other, and both nodded slowly, among the three, Su Moor's strength may not be the highest, but his wisdom and strategy are the first among the three, which is beyond doubt, so he must be reasonable to arrange it like this, and the two naturally agree.
......
On the Acropolis of the Ice Demon, on the city wall, a young girl, surrounded by several personal guards, has been standing at the head of the city, looking at the north from afar, waiting for someone at all.
Finally, when the sunset was about to take away the last glimmer of light, a large number of cavalry appeared in the sunset on the horizon, and the mighty figure led by it, who was it not Lynn? Vivien on the city wall shouted loudly when she saw the shadow of Lynn's team, and the rest of the people immediately ran up to the city, and after a while, the city lords Clark and Darov, who had been waiting for the notice, also rushed over.
A group of people got off the city wall and waited for Lynn a few miles before the Ice Demon Acropolis, Lynn took the lead and came to everyone first, and was about to say something, but saw a petite figure rushing towards him, Lynn immediately jumped off the war horse, and also ran quickly towards the figure, and then, hugged it tightly, hugged it deeply, and then, it was a gentle long kiss, under the sunset, the silhouette of the two looked extremely beautiful, everyone was quietly watching them, no one bothered.
Although Lynn was only away for a day and a night, but in Vivian's feelings, it seemed like a year and a few years, plus Lynn was going to war this time, where was Vivian not worried? She didn't sleep for a day and a night, and she was always thinking about Lynn in her heart, afraid that he would be injured, afraid of hearing bad news coming back, and every time there was any movement around, she would always be startled, and kept asking if Lynn was back.
Now, Vivien is tightly held in Lynn's arms, smelling the blood on her lover's body, and Vivien knows that her hero is triumphant, because the smell of blood on Lynn's body is not her own. (To be continued......)
