Chapter 534 Curtain call
"I just got the news that the defense line of Kowloon City has been completed. The army of the Sword Empire has completely crossed the defense zone and entered the Qinglong District. An officer stood in the dark basement, looked at the dead prince Ye Shengwu in front of him, and said with some disappointment, "This time, the Yongye Empire is over."
"Hmm." Ye Shengwu sneered and looked at several dusty generals: "At this time, that fool is still thinking about killing me, and then sit firmly in his country! How could such an idiot come out of the Ye family!"
"We didn't see the shamelessness of this bastard!" A general shook his head: "He thinks that Wen has the support of the Xia family and the help of General Chumo. He can settle down without us."
"Relying on the newly built Qinglong Army and the 500,000 horses of the Rosefinch Army, is really hundreds of times stronger than the White Tiger Army and the Xuanwu Army? Confused! After losing the defense line of Kowloon City, what can he do to stabilize half of his country? Ye Shengwu sighed, "The second brother is very calculating. He didn't expect his life to be so short. He felt that he could support me to arrange the front line and return to the imperial capital, but he didn't think..."
"It's too late to say anything now, Your Highness, at least we can still make up a few fast horses and thousands of soldiers. Let's break through while it's dark. Now Jiulong City is in ruins, and the sporadic resistance in all blocks is still continuing. We will take advantage of the chaos to send you back to the imperial capital and regain power!" A general held his fist and persuaded him.
waved his hand, and Ye Shengwu interrupted his persuasion: "In this situation, will the Sword Empire leave us time for infighting? If it were me, millions of troops would go hand in hand, not necessarily slower than I fled back! At that time, our brothers will be cruel and let outsiders see jokes.
"You are war or surrender, I don't ask anymore, now I am a soldier of the Eternal Night Empire! I will hold on to my position until the last moment." The eldest prince pulled out his sword and looked at a group of generals under him: "The country will die, and I can't bear to live alone!"
"Order the whole army to fight back! We will accompany you to the end!" A general said.
"It's better to die here than to go back and be looked at! We are also worthy of the high officials of the Eternal Night Empire!" A general behind pulled out his sword and said.
"In that case! Let me go on the expedition." Ye Shengwu took the lead in walking out of the basement that had been trapped for more than ten days. He saw the sky for the first time in more than ten days and breathed fresh air for the first time.
In front of him are thousands of soldiers of the White Tiger Army, ragged, more embarrassed and dilapidated than beggars. They are covered with dust, and many soldiers are wrapped in bandages.
I don't ask you to do anything. You can surrender to the Holy Sword Empire! As a member of the night family of the Eternal Night Empire, I persisted to the end for honor and faith, and you have a better tomorrow. I am defeated. The Eternal Night Empire is defeated. The empire of thousands of years has been defeated by an empire that has been born for several years. It seems that this millennium does not represent progress, but decadence. Ye Shengwu looked at the faces full of blood and dust, and his eyes were full of tears.
"Your Highness! We are willing to follow Your Highness and fight for the Eternal Night Empire! We are not worse than others! If we are united and there is no villain behind our back, how can we be defeated? A soldier cried and said.
"That's it! We played so well that the Sword Empire was entangled in the ruins for a few days and could not advance a kilometer. If the reinforcements from the rear arrive on time, it is not certain who will win or lose!" A young officer said unconvincedly while wiping his tears.
Ye Shengwu looked at the soldiers in front of him and slowly said, "Since everyone is unwilling to survive, let's fight another vigorously on behalf of the millions of souls of the Yongye army in Kowloon City!"
"Order to be able to contact the troops! Fight back tonight! If you are willing to participate in the war, attack on time. If you want to surrender, don't force yourself!" Ye Shengwu said, "One hour later, the whole army will attack!"
seemed to be a long wait. The people sent came back one after another. Most of them shook their heads silently. The surrounding troops were either destroyed or surrendered. Although the remaining troops were willing to fight to death, they had no interest in suicide counterattack.
On the other side, the wolf knight patrols of the 18th Army still found traces of the remnants of the Eternal Night Empire. A large number of wolf knights and orc infantry were gathered to search for the troops of the Eternal Night Empire along the smell and traces.
The two sides found each other at a very close distance, and a fierce battle broke out in advance. The wolf knight and the orc warrior rushed to the ruins of the block where Ye Shengwu was located, and the shouting immediately spread far away.
The bright orc troops of the Sword Empire are quite armored, equipped with various sharp weapons, and the wolf knights are even equipped with strong crossbows and short bows. These orc cavalry that Akado cultivates into Mongolian iron riders are simply slaughter machines.
The screams are endless. How can the flesh and blood of the soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire resist the joint impact of the Orc Imperial Cavalry and Infantry? If they disperse and take advantage of the terrain and can still resist a slight attack, they can't fight now.
Ye Shengwu was also a veteran. Under his command, the human troops were arranged in an orderly manner. Although they were killed and injured by the wolf knights, they did not collapse. Instead, they used bows and arrows to cause dozens of casualties to the orcs.
The bleeding orc warriors began to fight back from all directions, and the crossbows fell into the phalanx of the soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire like raindrops. Because of the lack of shield protection, the Eternal Night soldiers fell like the overwhelmed ears of wheat.
The fewer soldiers Yongye fought, the thicker the enclosure of the orc empire. Ye Shengwu had no intention of escaping and had no intention of ordering to break out of the siege. In this way, the two armies were intertwined, bursting out blood and meat, and blood flowed into rivers.
Not long, Yongye's troops had almost suffered casualties, and Ye Shengwu was covered in blood and had just put down an orc infantryman, standing high and gasping.
Suddenly, a feather arrow hit Ye Shengwu's chest and rolled him to the ground. The wolf knight killed the few remaining Yongye Empire troops, pounced on it, and began to bite Ye Shengwu's body with body temperature.
In the distance, the captain of an orc wolf riding put down his bow and arrow, drove the giant wolf slowly to the front, and said loudly, "Leave your head!" Don't break the helmet! You have to take it back to ask for credit!"
On February 17 of the 5th Gregorian calendar, the 38-year-old prince of Shengwu of the Yongye Empire died in the ruins of Kowloon City. Three days later, the last Yongye Imperial soldier in Kowloon City who refused to surrender was killed, and Kowloon City was completely occupied by the army of the Sword Empire.
