Chapter 189 Bloodstained City
As shouts rang out from the city, dozens of soldiers rushed to the top of the city wall and fought with the Northern Wilderness barbarians. Soon, the barbarians who climbed to the top of the city wall were driven back down.
"Commander Meng, you should lead the brothers into the city to rest for a while! Wait until we can't hold on any longer! Then send someone to replace us!" Liu Feiyun, dressed in armor, was guarding a battlement and said as he knocked down a barbarian who tried to climb the city.
"Young Master... why are you doing this!... Alas!... In that case, take care! I'll send someone up to replace you in a quarter of an hour! Brothers, let's retreat first!" Meng Chongqing knew that he couldn't persuade Liu Feiyun, so he had to go down the wall first and come to the blind spot of the barbarian bows and arrows at the base of the wall. Here, about 300 soldiers were resting and waiting for orders close to the base of the wall.
Although Liu Feiyun had experienced some bloody battles on the way home from the Miyun Sect, the bloodiness was far less than the scene before him.
At this time, the top of the slope made of piled corpses under the city wall was only a little more than ten feet away from the top of the city wall. The number of ladders on the city wall had increased to more than twenty. Each ladder was never empty, and there were always several Northern Wild Barbarians climbing up fearlessly. Not far away from the slope, the archers didn't care whether they would hurt the archers or not, and they would shoot at any defenders who showed up.
Although the armor on the soldiers guarding the city was very protective, and the arrows of the Northern Wilderness Barbarians could not completely penetrate the armor, there were still places that the armor could not protect. In less than half a quarter of an hour, more than a dozen of the dozens of newly arrived soldiers had been injured by arrows. The sporadic barbarians who climbed onto the top of the city from time to time also caused three deaths and five injuries to the soldiers.
What’s even more terrible is that the offensive of these barbarians is not a wave-like attack, but a continuous attack with no gaps at all.
Liu Feiyun didn't know how many barbarians he had chopped down. He just felt that these barbarians seemed to be endless, and he was gradually feeling exhausted.
Finally, the replacement soldiers in the city came up, and Liu Feiyun and his group were able to retreat into the city to catch their breath. However, in just a quarter of an hour, seven of the thirty-five soldiers had been killed and nine were seriously injured, and their combat effectiveness was reduced by nearly half.
"Young Master! How do you feel? Otherwise, you and the two fairies should retreat first! This kind of city defense battle is really not suitable for you to exert your combat power advantage!" Meng Chong saw that Liu Feiyun, Gu Qingya, He Qingqing and other martial artists opened their visors and started to eat and drink water, so he persuaded them again.
"My dear military officer, you are really looking down on me! Although we have never participated in a large-scale war before, we have killed people! Now we feel a little tired, it is nothing more than lack of experience! Anyway! We are
Some people can still hold out longer than ordinary people! " Before Liu Feiyun could say anything, Gu Qingya was already dissatisfied!
Liu Feiyun also smiled and said, "Yes, yes! We just lack experience in battle formations! The fighting on the battlefield is very different from the fighting between martial artists! In my opinion, the two pieces of wood I brought are more suitable for fighting on the battlefield! After these two pieces of wood are full and satisfied, our pressure will be much lighter!"
"Young Master is right! Those two big guys are indeed suitable for charging into battle. But, Young Master! We don't have to fight to the death. Young Master should have noticed that the slope formed by the pile of corpses below the city is about to be level with the top of the city. By that time, I'm afraid that the ordinary soldiers will have been killed or injured! Even if you heroes want to leave, it will not be easy! So what I mean is, after you go to the top of the city and hold on for a while, immediately protect the injured brothers and retreat first!"
"Commander Meng is right! Young Master! Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider the two fairies! Let's retreat when we should!" Qin Jiu advised again.
Liu Feiyun thought about it, nodded first, then shook his head, and said seriously: "I understand what Commander Meng means! Now it has been more than half an hour since the beacon fire was lit, and the people who went back to report the news and inform the nearby people have also been gone for half an hour! And those Northern Wilderness Barbarians will probably be able to rush directly to the top of the city in another half an hour! We really don't need to defend to the end! However, if Commander Meng leads the remaining Iron Guards and local soldiers to cover the retreat, I'm afraid it will be a bit inappropriate! Even if you defend to the end, you may not be able to hold on for too long. Not only will you be unable to escape, but even the wounded may not be able to retreat home in time!"
"Repaying the Earl with our own death is the duty of our Tiger Guards! And those local soldiers died willingly to protect their families! It's just that we can die, but you, young master, cannot! Young master! All the fairy knights, just listen to my military orders!"
"Why are you going to die? On the battlefield, dying in battle is inevitable! But there is no need to do unnecessary suicide! How about this! Only warriors above the late stage of the cultivator realm will be left in the last line, and the rest of you must evacuate! And the last line will only hold on for a quarter of an hour, and then you must evacuate! This is a military order I issued as the Earl's son! No one is allowed to disobey! Unless you want to see me commit suicide now!" Liu Feiyun said, changing his usual friendly expression and speaking sternly.
Under Liu Feiyun's threat of suicide, Meng Chong, Qin Jiu and others had no choice but to obey!
That is, while Liu Feiyun and others were resting, several hundred soldiers had already rotated several times! And the time each group could hold out was getting shorter and shorter, and the casualties were getting heavier and heavier! Now, there were less than a hundred people who could fight again, and the slope was less than half a foot away from the top of the city.
"The last group of people go into battle, and the rest of you evacuate immediately! Not a moment's delay! Hurry! Act now!" Liu Feiyun ordered.
"Yes! Evacuate immediately!" replied Meng Chong, who had lost his fighting ability after being injured in battle again!
There weren't actually that many people in this final group, just the Tiemu brothers, Qin Jiu, Liu Feiyun, two Iron Guards, as well as Gu Qingya, He Qingqing and their five guards, a total of only thirteen people.
When the thirteen men rushed to the top of the city wall, they found that there were less than ten defenders left, while there were dozens of barbarians.
"Brothers, get down quickly, the devil from hell is coming!" Liu Feiyun shouted!
When the soldiers guarding the city saw their two demon gods coming, they hurriedly climbed down.
The Tiemu brothers used a 100-jin giant axe and a wolf-tooth club to sweep into the crowd. There were screams and broken limbs flying everywhere. In a blink of an eye, most of the barbarians on the city wall were cleared. The occasional barbarians who escaped were quickly killed by Liu Feiyun and others.
"Devil of Hell, charge down!" Liu Feiyun shouted again!
Tiemu brothers shouted, jumped down from the top of the city wall, swung their giant axes and clubs, and launched a counterattack, instantly clearing two bloody paths. Liu Feiyun and others also took advantage of the situation and followed up, killing the barbarians on the slope and forcing them to retreat.
