1241 Madness
How can this battle be fought? Seeing the city in the distance, it was instantly overwhelmed by flames, and the burning soldiers screamed and fell off the city wall, falling to the ground and turning into a pile of burning charcoal, and Luman's heart let out a wail.
He could engage the most powerful enemies, even in the face of ten times the enemy army, but these monsters in front of him had completely destroyed the courage of his army.
An army that has lost its courage is no different from a lamb to the slaughter. The chaos had begun, and he could no longer stop the rout of the soldiers.
The distance of the bow and arrow can sometimes be as high as 200 meters, but the effective shooting height of the bow and arrow will never exceed 100 meters.
Such a short distance could not stop or interfere with those dragon knights throwing bombs. In the following time, ten dragon knights took turns attacking the city walls, burning the ballistas on the city head to charcoal.
The archers, who were still fighting desperately, finally collapsed, and they retreated from the city and began to gallop into the city.
In fact, the pikemen who were pressing in the back were also retreating, and these soldiers began to retreat desperately after seeing the city head destroyed and occupied by the monsters.
A large number of soldiers crowded the gates of the city, pushing and hurling at each other, just so that they could withdraw first and flee to a safer rear.
"No retreat! No retreat! Luman wielded his sword and stood guard at the staircase of one of the walls, driving the frightened soldiers back to the top of the walls.
But he was desperately supervising the battle at one staircase, and there was no one to guard the other staircase. The commanders of the archers were either leading the way in fleeing or had already been burned to death.
There were very few soldiers left on the city wall, and everyone was not willing to throw their lives on the city wall, which was already full of gunsmoke and flames.
"It's over......" A thought rose sadly in Lu Man's heart, he knew that this time, he would not be able to complete the order.
The city of Soth could not be defended, and all the food and supplies that arrived in advance were taken away by the enemy. And the army that arrived here in advance is almost all over.
But who is to blame for this? Lu Man thought that he had not made any mistakes, and that the current result was entirely due to the fact that the enemy was too strong.
Even if it is another general, in the face of such an opponent, there is no way but to watch the other party wreak havoc on top of his head.
"My lord! My lord! A scout stumbled away a few panicked pikemen, and knelt in front of Lu Man in embarrassment: "Left battalion...... The left battalion was attacked by the enemy! The other party fell from the sky and rode a monster...... Our army is defeated! Master Jack is dead! ”
"Left Battalion...... More than 3,000 people...... After a while, it's over? Lu Man's body shook, and his whole person felt like the sky was spinning.
It was only at this time that he remembered that the heavenly monsters that had been attacking him were actually only a small part of the monsters that flew in, and it seemed that after the attack began, the other party divided his troops to attack other camps.
"Right Battalion...... What about the right battalion? Fast! Quickly bring people to reinforce the right battalion! Lu Man grabbed an officer with a dark face, and anxiously ordered: "Don't let the right battalion collapse again!" Bring someone to reinforcements! Just go! ”
"Don't stop me! Where are the soldiers who can obey the command? All gone! They all ran away! The officer smiled bitterly, and pulled Luman's arm away with his hand, without half of the respect of the past: "Fire-breathing monsters are everywhere!" We're done! We're done! Hahaha! ”
Obviously, the officer couldn't stand the stimulation in front of him and had become a little crazy. Luman didn't bother to pursue the officer, because another scout had brought him even more shocking news.
A ground force raided the right battalion, and the entire right battalion collapsed, but the losses were not large, and the 3,000 men basically retreated, but their camp had been lost.
"After losing just over 100 people, you're going to collapse?" Lu Man stared incredulously at the scout who had come to deliver the news, and asked sharply.
The scout glanced at the flaming monster in the sky, swallowed a mouthful of spit and replied, "Great, my lord...... The other party has a strange weapon that can kill people from a distance......"
He paused, suppressed his fears, and continued, "Also, they have a monster made of steel that can easily break through the gates of the camp, be invulnerable, and let out a terrifying roar......"
Of course he didn't know that there was a weapon called a tank, and of course he didn't know that a weapon called a tank could not be dealt with with by bows and arrows and spears.
"It's a monster again! Why is it a monster again? Luman, gritting his teeth in hatred, kicked the scout who was kneeling on the ground.
If he had heard this kind of monster before, he would have disdained it - but now, with a monster spewing flames above his head, he couldn't refute such a ridiculous and bizarre statement.
While he listened to the scouts sent by the two camps on the left and right to deliver the message, the soldiers in the city of Soth had already given up resistance and focused on escaping.
Luman had no way to stop the soldiers, and could only retreat in the direction of the stables with some of his followers around him.
Whether it is fighting or retreating, it is obvious that only war horses can be more rapid. Luman knew that there were 3,000 heavily armored cavalry behind his city, and with these cavalry, he could also organize a counterattack, or even turn defeat into victory.
Therefore, he hoped that he could get out of the city as soon as possible, join up with the cavalry troops, and then stabilize his position.
As a result, when he came to the stable, he found that the war horses that were usually extremely fierce were now trembling and cowering one by one, and they were unusable.
You can't blame these war horses, because it is indeed difficult to find a war horse that can have the courage to cheer up in the roar of the dragon.
"Let's go! Get out of here! Fast! With a quick decision, Lu Man abandoned these expensive horses, took his long sword, and went into a small alley.
He didn't want to mingle with the crowd and the rout, as that would be an easy target. The crowd mingled and blocked each other, and the retreat was slower.
The city of Soth was in chaos, and the last ballista on the head of the city also burned in the dragon flames, and finally turned into a pile of wreckage.
Ildo, who had already achieved the battle, had no intention of pursuing, and he drove the wurm to lie on the head of a section of the city, overlooking the city full of wolf smoke, with a satisfied smile on his face.
This battle, they easily won!
