Chapter 259: The Big Knife Splits the Tank
As a result, when Andrew finally arrived in City B, he happened to see a large group of soldiers being led out of the city gate by a demon general. After a rough count, you can find that this team of men and horses has at least seven or eight thousand people, and as far as Andrew knows, there are only about 10,000 remaining defenders in City B. I'm afraid that the remaining soldiers and horses in the city are barely enough to maintain law and order in City B.
Realizing this, Andrew hurriedly stepped forward to stop the general, wanting to let the other party leave some soldiers and horses, and also told the other party that there was an enemy army with at least tens of thousands of people in the rear, and if these soldiers and horses were all withdrawn, several nearby cities might not be able to hold it.
And the demon general said that he had heard that there was a small group of enemy troops in the rear, so he was ready to lead his troops to exterminate them, let Andrew stay in City B, and when he eliminated the group of enemy troops, Andrew could go back to receive his own city.
Seeing that the other party still thought that it was just a small group of enemy troops of hundreds of people, Andrew suddenly became anxious and wanted to continue to explain to the other party, it was definitely not a small group of enemy troops!
But the demon warrior was obviously an impatient, and rode away without waiting for Andrew to speak again.
Andrew looked at the other party's distant back, and now he can only hope that the other party's strength is strong enough to destroy that enemy army, otherwise if these thousands of elite troops are buried again, then this B city may not be able to hold it!
And Zhou Jiale's side, after repairing in City A for a day, he waited for more than 10,000 airborne troops to come and converge, which increased the number of airborne troops in his hands to more than 11,000 people, as for the rest, it is estimated that most of them have been killed by demons, after all, this City A is the only way to go to the final destination, how can those airborne troops arrive after such a long time, and now they have not been able to arrive, which can only prove that they must have had an accident.
Just when Zhou Jiale was about to take the initiative again and go to attack the next target, the 8,000 army led by the demon general quickly killed the city of A.
Seeing this, Zhou Jiale couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that now he didn't need to run around looking for enemies, and he sent them to the door himself.
With Zhou Jiale's order, more than 17,000 airborne troops suddenly opened fire with all their might, killing the demon general who was light on the spot, and most of his soldiers were also killed on the spot by the fierce firepower, and the rest were also stunned, because there was no order from the commander, and they didn't know whether to retreat or continue to attack for a while.
Soon these guys didn't have to worry about what to do next, because under Zhou Jiale's ferocious firepower, these enemy soldiers were quickly killed.
"Haha! This latest Magic Assault Rifle is just that! After the battle ended in just ten minutes, Zhou Jiale stroked the magic energy assault rifle in his hand, and he loved it.
And the surviving soldiers in the city were also very knowledgeable, and when they saw that the battle was over, they went out of the city one after another to clean up the battlefield, and did not let Zhou Jiale and them waste their energy on these trivial things.
On the other side, Du Yonggang had already led his armored troops to the entrance of the tunnel, and after clearing the pile of rubble at the entrance, Du Yonggang found that the inside was still intact as those survivors said, and it was completely possible for his armored troops to pass through.
When Du Yong first began to arrange for his troops to pass through the tunnel, he also received the good news that the rear of the demons was a mess by Zhou Jiale, and those demons were indeed attracted to the past, and they should not notice the small movement he made here in a short time.
So Du Yonggang and their whole army successfully passed through the tunnel a day later, jumped directly over the defense line laid by the demons, and appeared behind them.
And Du Yonggang didn't care about the other enemies at all, and led an elite army of 50,000 to go straight to the demon's logistics base C City, preparing to capture it in the shortest possible time.
Without the cover of the tunnel, the movement of the armored troops was too great, and they were soon discovered by the demons, so those demons immediately sent an elite cavalry of thousands to check the situation.
These demon warriors with the lowest strength have the combat power of chemical warriors, wearing heavy plate armor and riding tall and sturdy hell horses under their crotches, belonging to extremely elite heavy cavalry.
It's a pity that they encountered the armored troops led by Du Yonggang today, because it was the first time they encountered such troops, so those demon cavalry didn't even distinguish whether those iron chariots were friends or foes at first, until the magic energy beams fired by dozens of tank guns bombarded their ranks, instantly taking away the lives of more than a hundred demon cavalrymen, and then those demon cavalry finally determined that these were indeed enemies.
So these demon heavy cavalry, who thought they were elite, decided to charge at these enemies and go to test their qualities.
When Du Yonggang saw those demon cavalry actually take the initiative to charge at them, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a cruel smile, and then he pressed the launch button with his own hand, and another crimson pillar of magic energy shot through his cavalry ranks, instantly taking the lives of the three demon heavy cavalrymen.
The other tanks also stopped moving forward and began to fire at the enemy, and as the distance closed, not only the tank guns, but also the tanks and the magic heavy machine guns equipped on the armored vehicles, the fire in front of the armored units became more and more intensive.
However, I have to say that these demon heavy cavalry are indeed elite, even under such fierce firepower, there are still two demon heavy cavalry who successfully withstood the blow and rushed to the front of the armored force.
Then the two demon cavalrymen waved the thick-backed machetes in their hands and slashed at the tank in front of them.
However, the front armor of the tank was too thick, and even the lightest armored tank among them was not something they could split with a broadsword, and the two all-out slashes only left a shallow white mark on the tank's armor, and even the sword in the hand of one of the demons broke due to excessive force.
Then the two demon heavy cavalry didn't have a chance to make a second move, under the concentrated fire of a large number of artillery and heavy machine guns, the magic power in their bodies was instantly drained, and the magic energy shield that was stretched out was also extinguished, and then their bodies were instantly broken into pieces, and they could be regarded as a heroic death.
After quickly eliminating this demon army, Du Yonggang did not dare to stay, and immediately led the army to continue to advance at full speed, after all, the appearance of this demon army means that they have been discovered by the demons, if they do not rush to the target location as soon as possible to attack, they will soon be surrounded by many demon armies that are coming one after another.
Fortunately, these days, Zhou Jiale and they made enough noise on the other side, causing many of the demons' troops to be transferred to deal with Zhou Jiale and the airborne troops under his command, and now if you want to transfer these troops back, it will take at least two or three days, and this time is extremely important to Du Yonggang, as long as he can win C City in these few days, then it will be considered a victory.
After Du Yonggang set off again, from time to time, there were enemy troops coming to intercept them, but unfortunately there were not many of them, and their combat effectiveness was not even as good as the demon heavy cavalry that Du Yonggang and they encountered at the beginning, so they were all easily annihilated, Du Yonggang and they didn't even stop for a minute because of this, they were fighting and rushing.
A day later, Du Yonggang, who had been on the road overnight, finally managed to reach City C, and the demons finally knew what the goal of this enemy army was. It's a pity that it's too late, at this time, there are only more than 20,000 defenders in City C, compared to other places, it is naturally heavily garrisoned, but you must know that there were 50,000 troops stationed here before!
It's all because Zhou Jiale's side is making too much noise, and after a few days, the gathered troops are almost more than 100,000, so the demons have to mobilize a large army to prepare to exterminate this wandering enemy army, and even C City has also sent a lot of troops over, so now there are only 20,000 horses left.
Du Yonggang soon discovered that there were not many defenders in this C city, which made him overjoyed, and immediately ordered the army to launch a general attack.
For a while, 10,000 cannons rang out, and the seemingly solid and thick city wall of City C was forcibly blasted open with heavy artillery by the armored troops who did not care about energy loss for half an hour.
Many of the defenders in the city were killed and wounded by the magic cannons, and there were not even enough soldiers with combat strength of 10,000.
Seeing this, the demon guard Thorn Shield, who was in charge of guarding City C, decisively chose to surrender, after all, City C has now been surrounded by enemy troops, even if he wants to run, he may not be able to run away, and if he resists, he will die a miserable death, so it is better to choose to surrender, so although it is humiliating a little, at least he can save his life.
Du Yonggang was also a little surprised to see that the demon guards of this C city actually chose to surrender, but then he quickly ordered the troops to enter the city and take over the entire city, especially the large number of various materials in the city, which were controlled by Du Yonggang for the first time.
The demon guard stabbed the shield probably because he was afraid of angering the army of the Blue Dragon Empire that invaded the city, and he didn't choose to burn these materials in the city, which undoubtedly made Du Yonggang surprised and annoyed.
I am glad that I have captured so many supplies at once, and I am worried about whether I can rely on the 50,000 horses in my hands to hold these materials before the demon army is defeated.
Du Yonggang was not as indecisive as the demon guard, and after he was distressed for a while, he made up his mind that if he couldn't defend this city, he would burn all these materials before breaking through, and not a grain of rice would be left for the enemy.
The news that the logistics base C city was captured by the enemy army, fueled by the spies of the Blue Dragon Empire, quickly spread among the demon army, which made both the demon warriors and the puppet army soldiers panic, after all, once the food is out of order, in the fierce battle, the army may not last a few days and will have to be starved to the point that it will lose its combat effectiveness, and then I am afraid that even if you want to run, you will not be able to run.
And some demon generals still want to cover up the facts, and at the same time begin to quickly mobilize troops, preparing to recapture the logistics base, after all, as far as they know, all kinds of materials in it have not been destroyed, as long as they take it back in time, then everything can be treated as if nothing happened.
It's a pity that the armored troops under Du Yonggang are very strong in combat, and in the case of occupying a defensive position, they actually held out for a week in the face of the siege of more than 200,000 demon troops.
At the same time, Ye Tianlong also let the army on the frontal battlefield launch a general attack, and even personally led the army to charge and kill several times, so that the demons also began to retreat step by step on the frontal battlefield, losing cities and losing ground every day.
And the defeat of these enemy troops is still because of the shortage of food, seeing that they are about to run out of food, but not a single grain of food has been transported to the battalion, those demon warriors and puppet soldiers all understand that their logistics base may have really been taken by the enemy.
In order not to starve to death, many enemy soldiers began to have the idea of slipping away. They secretly colluded with each other to increase the number of soldiers who fled together as much as possible when the time came, so that they might not be punished too severely after the war.
I have to say that these enemy soldiers think quite reasonably, but the problem is that the threat of food shortages is too great, so the number of people they accidentally connect seems to be too much, and more than 80% of the soldiers in many camps escaped overnight, and the rest are some demon generals and their own soldiers.
The demon generals who became the commander of the light pole were dumbfounded, and they quickly followed suit, after all, it was just a few of them who stayed to give the enemy war exploits! At that time, people will really catch one by one, and they will all be big officials!
So when Ye Tianlong and Luo Chenguang led the army to join forces with Du Yonggang and Zhou Jiale, they found that the enemy camps along the road were almost empty, often advancing hundreds of kilometers, but not a single enemy could be seen.
This made Ye Tianlong, who also wanted to collect more enemy corpses and create some undead warriors, feel very disappointed.
According to the last statistics, the total number of prisoners captured in this large-scale battle was less than 30,000, and the corpses of the enemy soldiers collected were only more than 50,000.
However, a lot of territory has been taken, and the territory of at least five provinces in the northern region has been taken in one go, and the remaining demons have retreated to the territory of the former Iron Bear Empire further north, where they have rebuilt their defense lines and prepared to continue to fight with the army of the Blue Dragon Empire.
