Chapter 1101: Defeat and retreat
Seeing the ice spreading across the city wall and spreading towards the city, Jodah didn't care about hurting his soldiers, and raised his hand high, and the flame summoning array opened in the sky one after another: "Come out, Flame Spirit.
The spirit of flame fell, directly attached to Joda's body, Joda's body suddenly burned, and at the same time, the dragon flame sword pointed horizontally, and Liliang gathered momentum: "Dragon Yan Sword.
The huge dragon flame burned out, and with the assistance of the flame spirit, the spreading glazed flame directly blocked most of the cold wave, buying the soldiers more time to escape.
The horn of retreat sounded, and the soldiers fled to the back city, and Jodah's chest continued to rise and fall in order to block such a powerful cold wave, and he turned around and retreated.
And the group of mages of St. Vickya lost the first wave of attack, and then the second wave of attack came again. But the gap between these two waves of attacks gave most of the soldiers enough time to flee.
Soon most of the city was frozen again, and the black city had turned white.
The bull-headed beast general Cooper jumped down on the wall hahadaxiao: "It's so enjoyable, I finally figured out the bird's breath that has been suppressed and beaten by the demon moon for most of the month! Those people on the Western Front should really thank us." It's a pity that it didn't take a few moves with the Dragon Soul Warlord to let him run. ”
At this time, a strange wooden stake in his hand and a bull-headed orc with an axe also jumped on the city wall one after another, and pointed with his hand: "Brothers, enter the city!"
The minotaurs stormed the Black City and seized the camp.
"Hey!" Grefa looked at the minotaurs who were swarming into the city with some dissatisfaction: "These guys are coming so late, and they are rushing to the city." The Black City is only that big. They all moved in, and our soldiers just lived outside. ”
Alan walked over to Grefa and snorted, "Forget it." These savage and selfish minotaurs don't know what politeness is. Do you see that they have forgotten even the commanders of the Eastern Front?"
The soldiers were tired from a day's march and fighting, and Vidmila and Grefa led their troops, so they had to temporarily set up camp on nearby high ground and hills. Fortunately, they had already prepared to sleep in the wasteland, and the space mages and supply vehicles in the army were quite complete with supplies, so they would not have to spend the night in the rain.
On the contrary, the two armies of Moyue Muto and Jodah fled all the way until the next morning, and then fled to the area of Shengyang Mountain. As soon as the soldiers stopped, they went to their own caves to stay, and they marched all night in the rain, and they were already very tired and tired. At this time, I just wanted to quickly take off the heavy armor and soaked clothes on my body. Make a fire and go to bed immediately.
St. Sheep Mountain and the surrounding area are located on a higher terrain in Volkan due to their special topography. In the Volcan area, there are many armadillos, pangolins, wilderness griffins and other magical beasts, and every year in the autumn rainy season, armadillos and pangolins will hide in large numbers in areas similar to the Holy Sheep Mountain to avoid water, and there are many nests on the mountain. There are a lot of caves.
Seeing the soldiers like this, Mu Tuo thought to himself that as long as one more enemy army came at this time, the number of people would not be too large, and the two armies would be defeated. Just as he was about to give an order to the officers to let the soldiers take turns to rest and be on guard, suddenly there was a shout of killing from the direction of the east side of the Holy Sheep Mountain, and I saw a large number of air cavalry troops in the sky rushing towards this side in the rain, and many enemy troops on the ground were pressing this side.
"Damn, how did the army of St. Bikja end up here?" Bazur scolded, immediately gathering troops and preparing for battle.
The soldiers had just taken off their soaked armor and clothes and went to sleep, when the enemy attacked. There was chaos in the army.
Jodah said: "These people must have made a detour here to ambush us last night when our army and Widmila were fighting, Alain, Langdon, hurry up and let the soldiers organize a defense." ”...,
In the heavy rain and mud, the Demon Moon Army once again put on its armor, but thousands of air horsemen had already rushed over. Immediately, the Demon Moon Army was defeated. At this time, the enemy's ground forces were also approaching, and they who had been lurking with ease and hard work immediately summoned their respective magical beasts to kill the Demon Moon Army, which had been confused by the air cavalry.
At this time, the soldiers of the Demon Moon Army were in a panic and hid in Tibet, completely losing the ability to organize battles.
Muto knew that he could not resist at all if this continued, so he gritted his teeth and ordered to retreat again. It's just that at this time, the soldiers are already too tired, and after a night of heavy rain, their faces have been frozen white, and they have not had time to eat at all, and they have no strength to retreat.
After another two hours of desperate resistance, the worse thing came again, only to see the Minotaur Orc Army, which had captured the Black City last night, leading its troops again.
The Minotaur Orcs have always been energetic and fast-paced, and after resting for a few hours yesterday, they chased after them again to defeat the two armies of Muto and Jodah in one fell swoop. Fortunately, at this time, the striker Irif and the ice madman Svert rushed to the aid in time, and the two sides immediately fought to the death on the Holy Sheep Mountain. After that, both the Holy and the Demon sides had their own armies to follow, the three armies led by Vidmila, and the general Eiffel who intercepted the Demon Moon Army yesterday arrived one after another, and the Demon Moon Army Wind Chaser Baker and the Luminous Saint Thief Charles also led their troops to the Holy Sheep Mountain to help. The armies of both sides fought in the vicinity of Shengyang Mountain from this morning to noon the next day, and the entire hill was stained with blood and corpses, and the casualties were extremely heavy.
In the afternoon, the offensive of the army of St. Picquea had intensified again, and they had been planning for an offensive in the east for a long time, and the Jihua infantry of the attack was fully prepared. Although Moyue was on guard against the eastern front, the main force had been attacking on the western front before, and the defensive forces on the eastern front were weak, and there were no more army reinforcements for a while. At this time, the Holy Sheep Mountain was no longer dangerous for the Demon Moon Army, and the army had no choice but to retreat while fighting, and then retreat to the north.
In the base camp of the Santa Vickya army, when the news of the victory came, all the officers had smiles on their faces: "This is a big victory, it will be a great encouragement to the military spirit that has been suppressed by the demon moon for a month, and this news should be released to all armies to boost morale." ”
"It's more than that. Another staff officer walked to the map and gestured: "The arrival of the rainy season has made the entire battlefield landscape of Volkan and Edso very large, and the capture of Shengyang Mountain is equivalent to blocking the throat road of the Demon Moon to the south, and since then, it is impossible for him to attack us again before the rain recedes." And we can rely on Shengyang Mountain to frequently launch counterattacks against them, and withdraw the bottom to reverse the previous passive situation. Haha, I thought Philippe Ruhr had a lot of ability, but it turned out that it was only at this level, and a heavy rain completely reversed his previous advantage. ”
"Hey~!" Fried smiled and waved his hand, "Don't underestimate Philip Ruhr, the trench defense he built in the Volkan Mountains has not been broken through for several months. As the current supreme commander of the Southern Legion of the Demon Moon, he will not fail to understand the changes in the weather and climate, and how important the geographical situation is to the war. It's just that he must have been transferred from the defense line of the Western Realm of the Demon Moon, and although he has an understanding and prediction of the autumn rain in Volkan, he has never understood it in such detail as we do, and the terrain changes after the heavy rain are something he can't fully estimate. ”
"Taking advantage of the current advantage of the Holy Sheep Mountain, we should take the opportunity to launch a greater offensive against the Demon Moon and completely regain control of the Volkan region. ”
Fried said to his side: "Immediately inform the armies in front and behind Artemit, so that they must rush to the eastern front within four days to support Vidmila's attack." ”
"In this way, we have about 800,000 troops on the Eastern Front, which is almost 90% of our total strength. ”...,
Fried said: "I don't know who proposed this war to Zalberg, and now that the war is getting bigger and bigger, and there is civil strife in the country before, it really shouldn't be fought anymore." Fortunately, the Zalberg rebellion has now failed, and the civil war in the country has stopped, which is also a good disappearance for our front-line soldiers. ”
Darian smiled: "Yes, at least don't worry about supplies, I contacted the royal capital government yesterday, and they will mobilize the logistics of the two nearby provinces to support us as soon as possible." ”
The faces of the officers changed: "It turns out ...... Didn't we run out of logistical supplies before?"
Fried smiled: "It's okay now, for us, the important thing now is to win this war and gain more bargaining chips for the empire before the peace talks." ”
After leaving the barracks, the officers were busy, and Almeida left with a solemn face, but he almost fell under his feet.
This was seen by Eldin, who stepped forward and said, "General Almeida, what's wrong with you, you almost fell while walking, which made the soldiers laugh when they saw it?"
"Ah, it's okay, the shoes are a little uncomfortable. Almeida stomped her foot and continued on her way.
Eldin followed up and asked, "Do you have something on your mind? ”
"No~!" Almeida shouted loudly, realizing that he was out of shape, and immediately said, "I'm sorry, I'm ...... I was a little uncomfortable and left first. ”
Eldin watched him walk away with his hands on his chest, his eyes narrowed.
At the same time, in the army camp of the Demon Moon, Ruer looked at the map with a sad expression, and said after a while: "Mistake, mistake, this place in Shengyang Mountain is too mistaken, and it has not been prepared in advance, and now it has become a stronghold for the enemy army to hold us." ”
An officer next to him said: "General, don't blame yourself too much, we, as staff officers, didn't see this, and we were derelict in our duties." ”
......
(That's right, this volume is mostly about war.) In fact, there were no battles in the first two volumes, including the previous frontline battles, which were only briefly mentioned, and the royal capital battles in the previous volume were only small battles. This volume is actually the highlight of the friction between saints and demons in the previous episode. The main reason is that the number of volumes in the previous episode was too much, so this volume was put into the second episode. In fact, it is also beneficial to put it in the second episode, at least to give the later story a transition. (To be continued.)
