Chapter 411: Deserters
"City Guards, ......" Zhou Ping muttered softly, then shook his head with a smile, turned his head and asked, "Dare to ask what is my brother's real name?"
The old soldier grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Sun Maocai, if you call me Lao Sun, it will be." ”
Zhou Ping nodded, pursed his nose, and said softly, "Old Sun, I remember ......"
The two chatted from late at night to dawn, although Lao Sun was seriously injured, but his eyes were getting brighter and brighter, when the sky was just dawning, Zhou Ping said goodbye to Lao Sun and returned to his camp, Chu Ci prepared food at this time and was waiting for him to come back, she didn't ask Zhou Ping where he went, Zhou Ping didn't say, the two quietly finished breakfast, Zhou Ping seemed to ask casually, "How much has the number of soldiers sacrificed last night increased?"
Chu Ci pursed his lips and said softly, "More than two thousand, the specific number will not be determined until Hanzhong has finished counting." ”
Zhou Ping nodded slowly, he got up and put on his armor, and in the early morning ordered the troops to attack again, this attack was more ferocious than yesterday, Zhou Ping's subordinates regardless of casualties, desperately bit a 10,000-person army of the beast clan, the two sides fought fiercely on the bank of the border of the Linchuan Plain, and finally Zhou Ping successfully ate this beast army with a battle loss of two to one, and achieved a phased victory in the battle of Linchuan.
There are more people dying today, there is no emotion in Zhou Ping's eyes, now he must become a qualified commander, even if he can't bear to die in battle, he must give an order to attack!
This is destined to be a difficult feeling, especially for Zhou Ping, who is naturally benevolent, but this is the rule on the battlefield, and Zhou Ping has always understood this rule, but only now that he has done it......
In terms of the Linchuan battlefield, Zhou Ping has achieved a phased victory today, and it stands to reason that all the Terran troops should be happy for Zhou Ping to arrive at this time, but on the same day, the soldiers of the third theater of the Terran front ushered in their lifelong nightmare.
In the evening, two soldiers patrolling the periphery of Yunshui City suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something abnormal in the distant sky, and one of the soldiers climbed the big tree next to him with the help of his comrades, but when he completely saw the situation in the distant sky, he was stunned.
Half an hour later, the two patrol soldiers rushed into Yunshui City as if they had gone crazy, and said to the general defending the city with a frightened face, "Enemy attack! Eagle Clan enemy attack!!"
Although the general defending the city was a former member of the city guard, he was a soldier who had followed Zhou Ping to guard Yunshui City, and his mood and courage were naturally not comparable to these soldiers transferred from the rear, only to see the general defending the city wave his hand and order to the soldiers around him, "Immediately inform the other generals of the news of the Eagle Clan's enemy attack, transfer all the soldiers to the city, ring the city guard bell, and transfer all the soldiers outside Yunshui City back!"
Although he didn't know the specific number of the Eagle Clan, judging from the frightened looks of those two soldiers, this enemy attack was definitely not so simple, and the Eagle Clan troops would definitely be more than they imagined!
It wasn't until the general came to the city that he finally realized why the two soldiers were so frightened, and when he looked up, the black clouds covered the sun, and the dense Eagle Clan troops blocked the sunlight of the small half of Yunshui City, and his heart could not stop beating when he swept it with the naked eye.
"Send a message to General Zhou Ping, 10,000 ...... No, 20,000 Eagle Clan elites attack Yunshui City!" The general defending the city put away his sword and roared angrily to the rear, "What are those generals doing to eat! Why haven't you come to the city yet!"
Half an hour later, the soldiers who had been sent to deliver the message walked up to the city defender with blood on their faces, and sneered, "Those dogs, as soon as they went out and saw the Eagle Clan covering the sky and the sun, they were immediately frightened, wounded the city defenders in our rear, and withdrew with their own people!"
Hearing this, the general defending the city turned his head to look at the soldiers of the city guards who were still holding on to the city, and then looked up at the Eagle Clan army that covered the sky and the sun overhead, and his eyes were a little dazed for a while.
These Eagle Clan troops did not attack Cloud City at the first time, to be honest, if the Eagle Clan wanted to take Cloud City, the city guards on the head of the city were simply not enough for them to dive and kill in waves, and those fleeing Terran troops could definitely see it clearly in the air, but they did not intercept it.
They seemed to be playing with their prey, and these city guards and hundreds of thousands of people in Yunshui City were their prey, and they wanted to see these prey show desperate expressions......
The general guarding the city narrowed his eyes slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Bring up all the bows and crossbows in the city, and call all those who didn't run to the city wall......
In a short time, all the troops of the city guards in the city came to the city wall, and in this world, none of the five thousand city guards left by Zhou Ping when he left did not escape, and there were no people standing on the city wall at this time, so they simply stood in the open space under the city wall.
An adjutant general walked up to the general defending the city and said with a solemn face: "The people are fleeing through the back door, but ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to escape much. ”
"The destruction of Yunshui City is a foregone conclusion, and our primary goal now is to let as many people escape as possible!" the general guarding the city pointed to the Eagle Clan troops in the sky and sneered, "They are just waiting for us to kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but we are not as good as this group of beasts!
In the past, the city guards were the least looked down upon by the commanders of all parties in the army, they had little combat experience, the military discipline of the troops was not strict, and the actions were lazy, which is also a fact, but is it true that all the city guards are waste, and they all deserve to be looked down upon?
Thinking of this, the general defending the city touched a handful of tears, stuck his war sword on the ground, and roared angrily, "Lao Tzu is not afraid of fucking death, but he has made people point his nose and laugh for a lifetime, why!"
"Even if we rush out of Yunshui City now, can we rush through the pursuit of these Eagle Clan troops? Besides, even if I let you go, who of you will fight with the people for their lives? Those who want to leave have already left a long time ago, aren't they all people who deserve to die if they stay now!"
"Rushing out is death, staying here is death, then let's die beautifully, let those so-called main battle camps take a look, and see if the city guards they have been looking down on with their nostrils are a bad seed!"
The eyes of these city guard soldiers did not fluctuate much, since they did not choose to flee Yunshui City with those deserters at that time, then they were already ready to die, their city guards were different from the main battle camp, as the city guards of Yunshui City, many of the soldiers were natives of Yunshui City, how could their bonds to this land let them leave their hometown?
"Two things!" The general who defended the city picked up the sword inserted in the ground again, looked around and said, "First, move all the bows and crossbows and equipment to the back gate for me, and rely on the back gate city wall to establish a blocking line, not to mention the Eagle Clan, even if the Heavenly King Lao Tzu comes, if he wants to eat our Yuncheng defenders, he will have to jump off his three teeth!"
"The second thing...... The message told General Zhou that the five thousand defenders of Yunshui City were defending against the beast clan troops at the back gate and protecting the people from evacuating, and none of them retreated, all of them were killed in battle!"
As night fell, when the defenders of Yunshui City established a defensive line, the Eagle Clan troops in the sky finally moved, and they divided a small group of troops to swoop down, and began to massacre the people outside the city who had not yet gone away, the old and weak, women and children were not spared, and they were all taken out of their hearts by the claws of the Eagle Clan, and became a corpse.
The Eagle Clan's large army launched a wave of dives against the defenders on the Yunshui City Wall, not to mention that the defense line at the back gate has not yet been built, even if it is completed, the strength of the defenders alone will definitely not be able to stop the dive of tens of thousands of Eagle Clan troops.
After just one attack, almost all the defenders of Yunshui City were killed and wounded, and the defending general was covered in blood at this time, his left arm had long since flown away, and one eye was also scratched by blood, but he still stood on the city wall with his sword.
He was the only one who could still stand on the walls.
This general, who was unwilling to retreat until he died, did not tell Zhong Zhou Ping his name before he died, because he only hoped that Zhou Ping would remember the Yunshui City Guards, and that was enough.
At a height of 10,000 meters, a pitch-black eagle beast said to the white goshawk beside him, "If the Terran soldiers are all like this, then I'm afraid our beast troops will not be able to attack the Terran half a step in this life." ”
"You're right. The white goshawk glanced down at the defending general, who was completely dead, and then moved his gaze into the distance, and as far as it could see, it was those Terran deserters.
"But fortunately, most of the Terrans are guys like them, and the real warriors are a minority after all. ”
The black goshawk flapped its wings and circled around the white goshawk, and then asked, "What kind of person do you think Zhou Ping is?"
The white goshawk was stunned for a moment, and then said, "He is not a person, because he is not destined to die in this war, but he will definitely not be able to win against us." ”
"People like him are destined to become a tragedy......"
"Why do you say that?"
"Because of human ......"
"Oh?" The black goshawk seemed to be interested all of a sudden, but the white goshawk obviously didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he directly interrupted, "We have delayed a lot of time in Yunshui City, let the clansmen replenish later, and simply chase down those deserters, we will go to other cities, don't forget, we also have to deal with the second and fourth war zones." ”
This time, the Eagle Clan sent troops with a great plan, first took Yunshui City in the third war zone with lightning speed, and then successfully destroyed all the cities in the third war zone with crushing troops, and the Terran troops in the third war zone withdrew almost without any resistance except for the previous Yunshui City defenders.
In just three days, the Third War Zone has completely fallen, and the number of homeless refugees has approached a million, and it is only the 30,000 Eagle Clan elites of the Beast Clan who caused all this!
Zhou Pingru, who received this news, was struck by lightning, he had guessed that the orcs might make a move against the third war zone, but he didn't expect that the opponent's speed would be so fast and his combat power would be so strong!
Of course, what made him most angry was that all the troops in the Third War Zone, except for the Yunshui City Guards who everyone looked down on, didn't even resist, and directly handed over the city and land that Zhou Ping and they had defended with their lives!
Wrong! Zhou Ping admitted that he was wrong this time! And it was a big mistake!
Originally, he thought that even if the Orcs attacked the Third War Zone, at least the Terran troops would be able to get the news when they entered the periphery of the Third War Zone, but a rainstorm a few days ago and the Eagle Clan's infiltration method turned into pieces actually made the Third War Zone stunned and did not get the slightest news of the Orc invasion.
As soon as the Eagle Clan made a move, they pointed directly at Yunshui City, the largest city in the third war zone, and deliberately let go of the Terran deserters during the siege of the city, and besieged the defending troops for nearly half an hour before eating one bite, for what?
Killing people and punishing the heart, this is a plan to attack the heart! The orcs let go of the Terran deserters and did not chase them too much, just to send a signal to the other troops in the city, I just want to take the third war zone, I don't care about the life or death of you soldiers, as long as you abandon the city and flee, I will not embarrass you!
This move can not be described as not vicious, now this mood has completely spread among the rear troops, if you don't resist, you can't die, when the soldiers faced the powerful attack of the Eagle Clan, the first thing they thought of was not how to defend the city, but how to plan an escape route.
The generals of these units also understand the principle of not holding the people accountable to the law, there are so many troops who have escaped in the third theater, there are not many more than me, and there are many less me, even if you want to hold you accountable, it is a big deal that we can unify our voice, just say that the enemy is too strong to be invincible, and we must ensure that there is a living force in the troops.
To tell the truth, now Zhou Ping really wants to cut them all, under Zhou Pingyuan's plan, even if the third theater is attacked by a strong enemy, as long as the various troops work together and help each other, at least the defense for a period of time can be done, although the casualties will be very large, but as long as the rear reinforcements arrive, the third theater can definitely be defended, and now the generals take the lead as deserters, and the mood of the rear soldiers to avoid the war has been formed, even if Zhou Ping is an immortal, he is powerless to return to the sky at this time......
In fact, not only Zhou Ping, Chu Li was also angry with everything that happened in the third war zone, the moment he received the message, Chu Li directly smashed the two tables, if it wasn't for Mu Ruqing to stop him, he almost didn't lift the entire camp tent!
"Send a message to Zhou Ping, now that the situation in the rear is a foregone conclusion, everything will be handled by me, let him take down the Linchuan battlefield for me!" Chu Li clenched his fists and said, "As long as the Linchuan battlefield can be won, then we can bring back the military spirit of the troops, and everything will still have a chance!"
"Now immediately send reinforcements to the second and fourth war zones! The orcs will definitely continue to attack them after taking the third war zone, and we must not lose our positions again!"
