Chapter 208: Meat Grinder
"Sir, brothers can't stand it!" A bloodied general almost tried his best to shout out what he wanted to say, and then fell to the ground with a pop, and when the soldiers next to him helped him up, he found that his body was stiff, and he was actually out of life, the two soldiers looked at Thorev dumbly, and the front-line commander pursed his lips, and the one who had just died was his most proud subordinate, but even so, looking at the stalemate in front of him, he still opened his mouth and ordered: "Don't move!" ”
Under the continuous attack of the demon army, the originally low city wall was cut off more than two meters high, the original earth city has been stained red with blood, and even some places can see the dazzling ravines washed out by the blood, and at this moment the demon army is still constantly impacting this small city like a huge wave, in just three days, the corpses thrown by both sides in this place have exceeded 30,000, in the case of superior troops, the demon clan was dragged hard, and it was also unexpected, Torev resisted the urge to go to the city wall several times, because in the plan, his line of defense, it is not impossible to retreat, It's just that there is a prerequisite for this retreat, that is, to hold on for at least ten days, and today is only the third day, the troops in his hands, in addition to the reserves are still well preserved, most of the remaining legions have been disabled, North Wind City is just a node, but it is also the main point that the demons have to pass through to attack the capital of the Kotler Empire, everyone knows the importance of this strategic location, although Torev knows that he can choose to retreat, but he is stubborn He still wants to fight the demons in this place, this was originally his original plan, but when the two armies fought, he suddenly felt that although he had experienced the war, he still thought about the war too simply。
When the strong man on the opposite side came out, Torlev simply ordered the cannon, because he had been prepared, the demon strong man did not suffer much damage, but the demon cannon did not play a big role, but the ballista on the city wall made a strong man of the demon clan fall because of carelessness, in order to ensure that these demon strong people suffer a loss, the crossbow arrows on the ballista have been manipulated, the royal alchemist after studying the corpse of the demon warrior, made a poison that can inhibit the slow flow of demon blood, this poison also works on the human race, but the effect is not as obvious as the demon race, and the fallen and remaining fleeing demon powerhouses did not expect that there would be something specifically to restrain them, so they succeeded, and the problem of the strong was solved, but then the rolling demon army made Torev see the brutality of the demons.
The necromantic defense line gave the Kotler Empire enough time to set up defenses, but the endless monsters and the demon warriors mixed in made the defense line of North Wind City almost broken through in the first piece, if it weren't for the power of the miniature magic cannon, I'm afraid the first wave of attacks would not be able to withstand it now.
The next two days are two batches of attack frequency a day, and the North Wind City is like a fragile meat grinder, constantly devouring the flesh and blood of itself and the demon army, a radius of ten miles is a battlefield, blood flows like a river, countless corpses, the attacking side is reckless, and the defensive side is almost numb, as long as it does not fall, it must continue to fight, the scene is so tragic, within a radius of a hundred miles a hundred beasts race away, all souls are silent.
The defense of the north wind city was torn open several times, but the defender was forced to fight back, and on the night of the fourth day, when the demons retreated to five miles away, Torev went up to the city wall, watching the wounded being carried down one by one, many soldiers became lifeless corpses in the process of being carried away, Tolev saw it in his eyes, but he could only sigh slightly, he didn't even dare to be a little louder, for fear that because his expression was seen by many soldiers who stuck to the front line and lost the courage to continue to defend.
"Hello sir!" an officer with a wound on his face still oozing blood rushed to Tolev in front of him, and a straight salute, but a puddle of blood splashed, Torev returned the salute and asked: "How is the battle damage of the defensive line?
The officer nodded and said: "Report sir, the brothers are all fighting bloodily, and the group of demon clans can't get any benefits in front of the brothers, but many brothers have died, and now we have half of us left, but the loss of the defense line outside the city is smaller, and there should be two-thirds of the troops left." This result made Torev stunned, in the past four days, the battle damage report has been increasing day by day, because on the whole, the demons are approaching on a large scale, basically all of them are pressed in an all-round way, and I can't see where the main direction of the attack is, but from the perspective of battle damage, it seems that the North Wind City is the focus of the demons.
The first line of defense was built on the basis of the North Wind City, but there were also some defensive facilities and defensive positions outside the city, for Tolev, the two sides were originally the easiest places to lose, but the impact on the overall situation was not too much, so the troops were not very placed, but from the oral statement of this officer, it can be seen that the demons do not seem to be interested in the bilateral positions, so should the troops outside the city be withdrawn? For a while, Torev was worried, and between his thoughts, there was some quiet around him, and feeling this oppressive silence, Torev sighed, and then said: "Rest well, remember, you must survive!"
The officer nodded heavily, and Thorev stared at him twice, then turned around and returned to the headquarters, and his adjutant saw everything beside him, and asked with concern: "My lord, do you want to let the young master take down from the city wall?" The soldiers on the city wall would never have guessed that this young officer who fought with him was actually the son of the commander Tolev, and he stayed for three days, and he was lucky to survive, but only the adjutant knew how strong and calm he was when Torev checked the death list, but he looked at it over and over again, the war is never emotional, and everyone has a place for everyone, Thorev's position determines his position as a commander, and the eldest young master became a front-line officer because of his cultivation, although there is helplessness in this, but the exchange between father and son has ended in the face just now, although they don't know, will this be the last time we will meet.
"No, Vic is thoughtful and has the ability to protect himself, if he dies in battle...... Only...... Don't tell me. After listening to the adjutant, he swallowed back all the words he wanted to say, the commander had gray hair in just four days, which showed the serious loss of mental strength, but he was still the commander-in-chief of the defense line after all, and after taking two deep breaths, Torev finally calmed down and moved his eyes to the map of the defense line in front of him.
"Tomorrow is the fifth day, the effect of the poison should also pass, they will not be fooled twice with the same move, you pay attention to it, and see when the strong man sent by the second or holy capital defense line will arrive, and notify me when it is time, before that, we still grit our teeth and continue to hold on, ten days, no more and no less." The commander, who was only middle-aged but already showing his old state, shook his head with a wry smile, and at this time, he heard a scream from outside, and the quill pen in Tolev's hand that was about to fall fell to the ground, and then a soldier rushed in and shouted: "Commander, the demons have attacked the city wall and have entered the city!"
Torev was stunned, drew his sword and rushed out of the room directly, but at the moment when he rushed out, a blue light burst out from the gap in the city wall, under the double moon, this blue light was extremely dazzling, and the gap that was attacked by the demons was immediately cleared out of a blank, and the stunned warrior threw himself up the next moment, and the demons who originally entered the city were also surrounded and killed by the reserve forces, the sneak attack came and went quickly, when the demons retreated this time, the relieved adjutant saw Tolev sitting on the ground with a dejected face, his eyes were blank, thinking about the process that happened before, the adjutant instantly understood that the eldest young master's cultivation was the wind system fighting spirit, and that blue light can only have such an effect if it self-destructs.
The adjutant was just about to bend down to help him up, but he saw the commander-in-chief wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and stood up himself, and then glanced at the city wall with nostalgia, his eyes became more and more cold, and a wave of anger couldn't help but spontaneously, and then Torev returned to the command room and began to give orders.
Every word of every order was bitten very hard by Tolev, and the herald could clearly feel that the commander's state would not, but the deputy commander-in-chief was constantly nodding slightly, obviously there was basically no big problem with the order given by Tolev at this time, but between the eyebrows of the commander-in-chief, there was sadness that could not be dissolved.
