Chapter 151: Narrowly Missed
Just after the hour, Xiaoyu dragged his tired body back to Yang Lian's tent, Yang Lian just breathed a sigh of relief, but seeing so many scars on the other party's body, especially the sword wound at three inches below the ribs, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him to the handsome position and half lay down, and then took out the gold sore medicine from his arms.

Xiaoyu sat down and waved his hand and said, "No need, I have already treated the wound by Luoshui!"
Yang Lian hurriedly asked the reason, according to Xiaoyu, she almost fell into the enemy's ambush tonight, and the person in charge of this city was now replaced by the difficult demon witch, and Ji Jingwen had already gone to Huizhou, there were about tens of thousands of bat demons in the city, and the other big and small demons were not counted, and there were about seventy or eighty thousand near the two gates.
When Yang Lian asked how he was injured, Xiaoyu said gloomily: "I saw that there were still hundreds of people struggling to survive in the sewers, I wanted to ask them about the city, but these people turned out to be traps under the Enchantress, and the sword under the side was caused by a sneak attack from the side, but I can only ...... those hundreds of people attacked like crazy."
Killing ordinary people, there are hundreds of them, this thing is difficult for any normal person to accept, Yang Lian thought that the other party was seriously injured, but now he really understands, as a soldier, he has killed countless people, of course he empathizes with Xiaoyu's depression, but what can he say? It can only be blamed in this era, everyone has no choice.
After the two were silent for a long time, Yang Lian asked, "Did Miss Xiaoyu deduce that the demon queen was in the city from the reactions of those people?"
Xiaoyu shook his head and said: "These injuries are nothing compared to before, after I dealt with them briefly, I entered the water spirit tower in the north of the city from the sewer, and I didn't meet anyone along the way, but I saw the figure of the demon queen at the top of the tower, and the giant sea holy beast was imprisoned in the center by a strange magic circle, the spirit of the demon queen is very keen, and I am not in the heyday, so I don't dare to make a mistake, so I can only retreat!"
Yang Lian knew that what he said before was the time he infiltrated the wilderness, and if he was an ordinary person, he was afraid that this sword would lose its ability to act, but Xiaoyu still looked very vigorous, and it was really difficult to understand it with his own opinion, but the general situation in the city had been understood, and this trip was very rewarding, and it was still very valuable.
Demons don't use those complex weapons of humans, and giant crossbow cannons are useless, so the only place in his favor is at this time, otherwise there is no talk of attacking the city, the only unstable factor should be the ability of the witch of the demon queen, in case the other party can control their own soldiers when they stand at the head of the city, this battle will not have to be fought.
In the early morning of the fifth day, Yang Lian dispatched 5,000 elites to test the siege of the city, and with the stone thrower that had just been built and the archers on the nest car, the south gate was killed for a while.
Attacking the demons is an extraordinary siege battle, if the sound of the east and the west may be broken by the demons one by one, so the army in the east must guard the city gate on that side, and must not let the demons of the east gate rush out to join the battle of the south gate, which is also the experience that Yang Lian summed up in the battle of blood and fire.
At this time, the midsummer has passed, but the weather is still quite hot, especially as soon as the sun comes out, the ground is like a fire, and the soldiers can even breathe to feel the heat wave, but the armor can defend themselves but must be worn, otherwise the demon can kill a blow, five thousand soldiers sweat like rain, and wait for the archers to throw the hook on the city wall, the first warriors will follow the rope ant attachment.
At this moment, a black and oppressive dark cloud suddenly flew out from the sky above the city tower, and when I got closer, I realized that it was thousands of bat demons, although the demons in the daytime attack and combat power will drop by seventy, but these bat demons are still extremely fierce, they glide down from the air in batches, catch the soldiers who are climbing and take them into the air, some are directly torn, some fall directly from the air, fall through the intestines, the scene is miserable.
Nearly 2,000 longbowmen counterattacked with arrows on dozens of nest cars, but with little success, a few rounds of arrows rained down, and only less than 300 were shot down, and some of them did not die at all, but instead burst out to attack the archers on these nest cars.
Yang Lian saw that the big thing was not good at the distance, and immediately Mingjin withdrew his troops, and sent 20,000 Shangjun to respond.
When the army returned to the camp, after some counting, it was only half an hour's effort, and more than 2,000 brothers were lost in the front, and they suffered such a fiasco on the first attempt, and even the attacking Zhao Tiedan had two shocking scars on his back, and the big tent was as quiet as death for a while, and no one dared to gasp loudly.
At this time, Murong Longyi coughed lightly and said, "Why don't we report the situation here to the Beichan Temple as soon as possible, and let Marshal Luo pay attention?"
Yang Lian glanced at the other party and shook his head and said: "The battle report will be sent back every day, but the problem in front of us can only be solved by ourselves, Marshal Luo must not leave the Beichan Temple lightly, otherwise our foundation may be lost in one day, and then there will be no place for human beings to die!"
Xiaoyu proposed: "Nine times out of ten, the demons who came out of the station today were controlled by the witch of the demon queen, otherwise the combat power would not be so high, tomorrow we might as well use the stone thrower and artillery to salvo the city wall at a long distance, if we can open a gap, or directly smash open the city gate, I can easily rush in and start a street battle with the demons!"
Everyone has considered this method, but the accuracy of the stone thrower and artillery is really not flattering, one of the three cannons can hit the city wall has been a blessing, not to mention that there are not many shells, the number of cannons is also seriously insufficient, if hundreds of salvos can still try their luck to hit the city gate, how can the city wall made of boulders be so easy to blast open?
Yang Lian finally nodded and said: "That's it, today's morale is taken away, let the soldiers rest for one night, and attack the city tomorrow!"
It's just that the next day's attempt was as everyone expected, after the ammunition of the artillery was exhausted, the city wall was not much damaged except for some potholes, but under the harassment of the bat demon, half of the cannon was damaged, and more than 200 brothers were killed again, Yang Lian had no choice but to give up this strategy.
It was nearly evening, there was a letter from Beichan Temple, Luo Cheng ordered the army to be ready to evacuate at any time, Luoshui will have a large fleet to respond, so as long as the pursuit of the bat demon is prevented, there will be no large amount of damage in the retreat, the army can go south along Luoshui, and land on the boundary of Huishui City.
Yang Lian immediately ordered the defenders of Tongguan to retreat to the coast of Luoshui, and his own side was also ready to retreat, fortunately, this decision was quite decisive, otherwise the gathered 40,000 demon army had already blocked the retreat near Tongguan, and they were waiting for the demon queen's counterattack.
Just imagine, if the coalition army can't retreat after a long time, the demon queen will definitely order the 80,000 demons in the city to pour out, so block back and forth, and there are chasing soldiers, the 100,000 human army will be wiped out, it seems that the strategy of the demon queen is the opposite, to eat all the army on this road, no wonder he didn't send a soldier to spy on it, it's really a good move to invite you into the urn......
