Chapter 596: Burning the City and Breaking Out (Asking for Subscription)
Yes, the figures that Leo found were reinforcements belonging to the snake people's side, and the number of these figures was more than the 5,000 originally estimated by Leo, and its establishment had definitely reached nearly 10,000 people.
"That's unlucky! It seems that although the Griffin Knights have deterred the snake people, they have not eliminated too many snake people! Looking at the figures of these snake people, Leo said with a wry smile: "It seems that these snake people don't look much tired, which means that the so-called snake people reinforcements are actually more like the snake people's reserve army, from this situation, the so-called all-out raid is actually just a cover, the snake people soldiers spent so many troops to besiege our army, in fact, it is just to test the strength of our army, so as to judge the weakness of our army from the sidelines, And then use this group of top soldiers to attack directly at the weak point, so as to completely destroy our army.......... what a calculation! It's a pity that the snake warriors didn't expect us to have a backhand. Heralds! ”
"Your Excellency, please instruct!"
"Go and inform everyone that due to the large number of enemy reinforcements, the evacuation plan is now forced to advance, let everyone start moving towards the river area of the snake man city, tell everyone that as soon as the castle is ignited, follow the route set before to break through, tell them that there is no meeting point this time, if you want to win, it will be like moving in the direction of the territory of the snake tribe, and then find our allies, then it will be a victory!"
"I understand, Your Excellency, I will definitely convey your instructions."
"Alas!" Looking at the herald who followed Sun Lin first, and then followed by him, Leo had mixed feelings in his heart, and after sighing lightly, he stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and said with a serious face: "Take care of yourself!" Remember to make it to the barracks alive, definitely! ”
"Don't worry, Lord Leo! I will not disappoint your expectations! Please also take care of Lord Leo. ”
After 1 hour............
As the sun never sets, the army continues to retreat. The snake warriors have gradually squeezed the area that the sun never sets army can control in this snake city to less than 20%, one of which is the inner city behind the inner city wall, at this time, a part of the sun does not set soldiers on the city wall with Mo forging crossbows to continuously shoot the snake warriors who are approaching the inner city wall. As the attacker, the snake warriors were not afraid of death to launch wave after wave of charges towards the inner city wall, so as to dig the stones that sealed the city gate with their bare hands near the city gate, so that they and their comrades could finally kill the inner city at the same time kill all the soldiers who never set the sun, and rescue the female snake people civilians who had been besieged in the castle for 5 days.
The other is in a river that flows through the western and eastern districts of the outer city of the snake people, which was originally the widest river in the snake city. After being treated by the Sunset soldiers by digging tunnels, it has expanded by nearly one-fifth of its width, and the river has also been cut off by the Sunset soldiers with stones, so this river can now fully accommodate the Sunset Army, which has almost 10,000 people, and of course, the Sunset soldiers will not be stupid enough to go into the water like this. They were now only squeezed to the sides of the river bank by the snake warriors, and they were stubbornly resisting near the riverbank. And these people include most of Leo who was killed from the inner city before.
"Your Excellency, Commander. Except for the 500 soldiers who stayed behind to cover the city, all the rest of the soldiers have already gathered on both sides of the river, and at the same time, the soldiers in the city area have already signaled and are waiting for your instructions, Your Excellency the commander. After the herald wrapped up the current situation, Leo, who didn't know whether it was his own blood or the blood of the snake warriors, looked at the inner city. There, a black smoke had already begun to rise from the city walls.
At this time, perhaps because the snake warriors thought that the soldiers on both sides of the river could not break through, or perhaps because of the eyes of these snake people. Rescuing the female snake people who were imprisoned in the inner city was more important than killing all the soldiers in front of them, so although the snake warriors continued to compress the front of the soldiers who never set on the sun, they were not as crazy as before, as if their current purpose was only to trap the soldiers here instead of exterminating them.
"Really? So how many troops do we have left? After observing the situation around him, Leo pondered for a moment and asked the soldier who had reported the situation to him.
"There are about 12,000 people, and the rest are either killed in battle or .......... it is estimated that they will not be able to reach the evacuation point." The soldier lowered his head, then suddenly raised his head and said to Leo: "Your Excellency, commander, please give orders, all the soldiers are ready and waiting for your instructions!" ”
"Alas......... I know it! Ignition! Not long after Leo gave this order, the snake warriors noticed that many of the soldiers who never set the sun were squeezing out of the formation, and under their watchful eyes, the wooden-handled iron-headed rods with dark holes were aimed at them, and indeed the buildings beside the snake warriors.
The situation in front of them is strange for the snake warriors, and even many snake people instinctively feel uneasy, but the Greek flamethrowers on the side of the sun will not give these snake people a chance to react, after rushing out of the spear array set by the soldiers who do not set the sun, the Greek flamethrowers are not aiming at all, to be precise, hundreds of Greek fires compressed into pillars of fire are sprayed out.
"All retreat, break through to the banks of the river!" At about the same time, the orders of all the officers who never set sun sounded, and the soldiers who guarded the banks of the river also fled frantically into the river as if they had seen ghosts, and some even flew directly into the river. For this situation, not to mention the long-range troops, even a hand-to-hand soldier like the snake man can't help but laugh when he sees it, but this is under normal circumstances, and now the snake man warrior's mouth can only let out a heart-rending scream.
As the Greek fire oil that had been sprinkled around the buildings on both sides of the river was ignited, the sky-high fire quickly spread around under the terrified gaze of all the snake warriors, and in less than a few minutes, the fire had already encompassed 40% of the snake city, and the fire was still spreading around at a rate of 5% per minute.
Many snake warriors were caught in the Greek fire before they could react, although these ignited snake warriors frantically slapped the flames on their bodies, and fell to the ground and rolled on the spot, and even learned from those soldiers who never set the sun to fly into the river, but they finally ended up in the street, but they all couldn't escape death, the former didn't know how terrible the adhesion of the Greek fire was, and although the latter jumped into the river water, but the Greek fire is a kind of gasoline, how could ordinary water be so easy to extinguish it? Even if the snake warrior thought of burying all his body in the water and extinguishing the fire by isolating flammable materials, there was no such way, because the sun never set on the soldiers to expand the river, and the river had already been blocked by a pile of rubble before the expansion, so the current level of all rivers in the snake man city was forced to drop by 3 points 1, which made the current water in the river only cover the human body, and it was impossible to cover the huge body of the snake warrior. In addition, in order to turn these blocked rivers into a sea of fire, the soldiers of Sunset also used the principle that oil can float on the water, and sprinkled Greek fire oil on these water surfaces.
"Soldiers! Lord Leo and our army have left, and our mission is almost complete, and now it is only one last step left to set the inner city on fire, and it seems that we all have to go to God. Looking at the city gate in front of him, the officer who was guarding the gate of the inner city wall looked at the soldiers around him and said, "But what I want to know is that you don't feel a little unwilling to be burned alive by the fire you set yourself like this?" ”
"Yes!" At the same time as the soldiers guarding the inner city wall shouted, the rubble piled up at the gate of the inner city was also smashed open by the unremitting efforts of the snake warriors
Looking at these snake warriors who turned their gaze to themselves and the soldiers beside him, the officer who was wrapped in his helmet showed a very disdainful look, and when he threw the torch in his hand behind him, he picked up the two-handed war hammer beside him and said to the soldier who never set: "Since you are unwilling, then pull more snake people on your back before you die!" Kill! ”
All the soldiers who stayed behind to cover rushed to the city gate, and the torch that was thrown to the rear by the officers who never set the sun also crossed a parabola in the air, and accurately fell into the pit full of Greek fire and oil oil, and the fire also began to spread in the inner city in an instant, first along the pit dug by the soldiers before the sun never set, and spread to the pit containing Greek fire oil in the inner city, and then from the pit began to spread to the surrounding houses, to the most rear, Both the walls and the castle where the serpent warriors were imprisoned were covered in fire.
At this time, the spread of the fire in the outer city has also been completed, except for some snake warriors who reacted in time and looked like they had become evacuated when they saw the fire come out, whether it was the soldiers who had been trapped in the alley and could not escape, or the snake warriors who thought they were about to welcome victory, they were now surrounded by the fire that engulfed the entire snake city.
As for the arsonists of this fire, after evacuating from the city along the river, they began to break through in small teams in a small pattern, and moved towards the sunset barracks in the territory of the snake tribe that they thought in their hearts.
