Chapter 37: The Demon Arrives

The entourage who received the news rushed from the city, and the eyes of the people had begun to flicker with suspicion and anger, and they looked at everyone's face, their teeth clenched, their cheeks raised high, and their throats made a whirring sound, ready to vent their anger on someone who dared to provoke.

As the entourage of the second general, they knew very well what they had encountered, and it was obvious that this was a conspiracy, and the retreating Hou general did not report the real military situation, but pretended to be news, delaying the world until they were completely surrounded by the demon clan.

It's like being betrayed, and it's infuriating.

Of course, these are all appearances, and what the Six Ugly did was far beyond their imagination: the followers sent by the second general did not return and were buried in the wilderness, which was the handiwork of Guanlan, and it was the masterpiece of the Six Uglys that really attracted such a large number of demon troops.

Human blood is the bait, the road is cut off, the grievances are entangled, and life and death are eliminated!

In the face of his own anger, the second general's expression was a little blank, he suddenly smiled bitterly, and said: "That's it, no matter how this matter comes from, it doesn't matter what the reason is, Black Fire City has been surrounded, and there are only two paths we have chosen now, one is to break through and send the news back to Hot Spring Pass, and the other is to defend it and wait for reinforcements." ”

"Dead guard?" One of the Hou generals standing next to him had changed his face greatly, and he couldn't help but repeat, his face was like ashes, his gaze inadvertently swept under the city wall, and countless small people who didn't have time to rush back were still begging and screaming, some had already chosen to flee to other places, and some were still lucky, trying in vain to rely on pleading and crying to open the city gate and take refuge in the city.

Although most of the city is dead, no one is willing to give such a meager hope.

The military order conveyed by the ghost is to let me wait to change the defense of the Black Fire City, the war dead are honored, and the military law of the retreating is intolerable, and it is natural to distinguish which is more important than the other...... However, you are all colleagues, I will not be strong, and someone needs to go back to deliver the news, and if anyone wants to break through, I will be fine. ”

The second general's gaze swept over all this, but it swept over gently, not stopping for a moment, and when he looked back, his eyes were still focused on the demon army that was approaching, and said slowly.

There are two Hou generals, one of his face has changed greatly, although the other person's face is fine, but his thick black eyebrows have been tangled together, his face is serious, his lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his eyes subconsciously fell to the other Hou General whose face was like ashes, and then sighed slightly, and said: "If you want to say that it is a breakthrough to report the news, or you will go, I will stay with the second general." ”

You Jiang's face was pale and uncertain, and he looked out, and only after a moment did he say with a bitter face: "Breaking through seems to be a way out, but compared to defending the city, I am afraid that I will only live for a few more moments...... If I don't stay, with the three of us bringing them with us, plus the oil and oil, it may not really be broken. ”

The thick-eyed marquis patted him on the shoulder heavily, and said in a deep voice: "A moment more is a moment, and what the second general said is reasonable, the three of us really need to send someone back to report the news, and it will be difficult to do it just by following the fear...... Prepare yourself, and I will first send people to bring the oil and the like to the head of the city, and assign a garrison. ”

After saying that, the Marquis of the thick eyebrows hurried away and went everywhere to start the order.

You Jiang, who stayed in the city, looked at his back and sighed with emotion, but then he saw the second general next to him with a solemn face: "It's a serious matter to go back to report the news, I'll go and write a letter, and it will be natural for you to return with this." Remember, your body is related to our lives, don't be soft-hearted, don't put others in danger, remember!"

The meaning of this statement is very clear, that is, to remind You General not to care about the life and death of those attendants, as long as you can escape, it doesn't matter if you die, the second general said this in front of his attendants, and everyone not only did not say anything with displeasure on their faces, but also nodded one after another, taking it for granted.

This thought has long been deeply imprinted in their minds, and it has become the biggest creed in life, according to the words of later generations, it has been successfully brainwashed without complaint.

You Jiang wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just nodded heavily, and then got off the city and began to gather his followers to prepare for the breakout, and that time the general also hurried to send someone to get the leather scroll pen and ink, write an official letter, and send someone to send it to his hand.

As the demon clan approached, he also temporarily changed his mind and did not leave, but only dealt with everything at the head of the city.

More than half an hour later, the demon clan had appeared outside the city in the dark, but they did not immediately start attacking the city, but lit a bonfire and began to drag countless food out of the rear army to slaughter, and some little demons ran to the vicinity of the city, and broke the heads and necks of those who were left under the city wall to cry and wail, and dragged them back to burn together.

Human flesh is delicious, the demon clan is happy, seeing so many human races eating, the demon army can't help but burst into bursts of cheers, many little demons began to come forward to help, whether dead or not, all with sharpened wooden sticks to penetrate the body at will, close the hanger on the fire, accompanied by the tongue of fire licking, the unswallowed screams again and again, like a ghost crying.

In addition to people from outside the city, some were captives on the road, and some were beasts and birds. The second general returned from the soldiers of the six ugly and others and ordered the city gate to be blocked, and the remnants of the wilderness were numerous, and the demon clan was equivalent to indirectly solving the ration problem from the hands of the second general, which was something that the six ugly had never thought of.

It's just that this behavior has made him despise the human race a little more.

After waiting for a while, the eating skin on the bonfire began to burn black, and the blood in it was still dripping and ticking, but the little demon couldn't take care of it so much, and they started to tear it into pieces, and each began to chew, and for a time the air was filled with a rich bloody atmosphere, cold as pulp, accompanied by an extremely fishy demon body odor, floating into the city, making the originally nervous people more panicked.

Then, some soldiers began to appear all over the city, publicizing it and telling everyone about the demon clan outside the city, not only that, but also personally brought some people to the city wall to witness, and the bloody scene scared several people to death on the spot.

Soon, the various actions of the demon clan spread throughout the Black Fire City, becoming more and more intense.

At this point, the second general finally appeared, and together with his followers, solemnly informed everyone that there was no way back, and declared his determination to live and die together in Black Fire City, boosting morale, and soon won the cheers and support of the people.

In the end, it was natural to recruit soldiers......

Those who knew how to use weapons were used as soldiers to guard the city wall, and those who could not were regarded as people's husbands, each prepared a stone and rolling wood, and obeyed the order to stand by.

The corners of the second general's mouth finally showed a smile.

This is true of all things, there is no good or evil!

From the point of view of being calculated by the six ugliness, the deputy general and others are really pitiful, trapped alive in the city and waiting to die, but if you look at his attitude towards the people of Shengdou, it is extremely hateful, watching the demons take people away and skin them alive, and they don't help anyone, and even wait for all this to happen, just to recruit soldiers later!

The only poor ones are the small people, who have always been kept in the dark and left to play with them......

Half an hour later, the demon clan army began to advance slowly, attacking from all sides, launching an indiscriminate siege on the Black Fire City, thousands of various little demons gradually approached, all kinds of hideous, this rare scene not only the small people have never seen, but the city head soldiers also felt palpitations, although the demon clan has seen it every day, but at most it is only three or five numbers, where have you seen such an overwhelming scene?

The demon clan gave up the art of war, which is equivalent to giving up the advantage of letting the human race escape from the field outside the city, it is obvious that what they want is not to attack the city in the past, but to uproot the city, and even no one is allowed to escape.

The atmosphere gradually became heavier, and the faces of the soldiers who guessed a little began to show a look of despair, because just behind these besieging demon clans, they saw more demon clan troops, and those demon clans had just arrived outside the city, and they had already begun to gobble up food, accumulating strength for subsequent attacks.

The face of the second general also became extremely solemn, as the demon clan gathered more and more, now the number of demon clans outside the city has exceeded four thousand, and it is still increasing.

With the wave of the flag at the head of the city, suddenly, several huge fireballs flew out of the inner city, like a round of red sun, flying towards the demon camp, the scorching light stung the pupils of the little demon, and in the face of the raging flames, chaos suddenly broke out in the demon clan.

Almost at the same time, a huge roar sounded among the demon clan, like thunder.

The attack of the catapult and the total military order of the demon clan ignited the flames of red blood on the battlefield, and in an instant, the demon clan changed from advancing to rushing, rushing towards the city like a tide, thinking that it began to attack in various ways.

The ball of fire finally fell, and the little demon who was hit head-on was bounced away, and flew out of the distance with the flames, and when he fell to the ground, it had become a burning ball of fire, screaming and struggling, and constantly rolling, but it couldn't let the flames go out, and he just fell to the ground for a short time, no longer moving.

More demons were hit by the fire that fell to the ground, and the fire ignited by the oil burned extremely violently, except for a few demons who were able to extinguish the flames, and more demons were burned to the ground, wailing and struggling.

But at the same time, the demon clan has arrived under the city wall and began to climb, and some demon clans even showed themselves, flapping their wings and flying into the air, condescendingly spewing venom and stinging needles, which immediately disturbed the Terran soldiers who had finally settled down.

"Pour oil, splash it in the distance, don't splash it on the city wall!" The second general and the Hou general's retinue began to command desperately all over the city, calling for the people to pour the oil down, ready to set it on fire, and the original guards drew their bows and arrows and began to shoot, in the sky, under the city wall, and in the distance...... They no longer had the trouble of commanding those soldiers, so they could only rely on the command of the commander and the commander of the army, and they scattered towards the nearest enemy without any order.

The people and the warriors finally poured most of the fire oil at the head of the city, most of them splashed farther away, but there were still a lot of splashes on the city wall, and the slippery fire oil greatly hindered the climbing of the demon clan, but the face of the second general was full of forest, and he never dared to light the fire

The battle continued, but the oil never ignited.
