Chapter 563 Fire in the City
On the sump, the orc troops held high their shields, and the bright long knives in their hands flashed with frightening cold light. Sporadic arrows hit the shields of the orc soldiers, making a faint sound. The return of the Eternal Night Empire was negligible, and the position of the Eternal Night Empire in the distance was a tragic and bleak scene.
When the sump is ashore, the orc troops jumped to the shore, took a neat step, held a long knife with a shield, and crushed it towards the position of the Yongye imperial army. For these orc troops, the defense here is like a child's play.
From a distance, they have been tested by the indestructibility of the wall of sighs for thousands of years. Recently, there are some examples of the hellish offensive and defensive battles in Kowloon City. The 13th Army, crawling out of the sea of corpses and blood, has its own pride.
Rows of infantry rushed to each other's position, where their strength and honor were reflected, and after the wolf knights were transported, the orc forces could no longer be stopped.
These monsters, which are more flexible than tanks, rushed left and right on the human defensive position, like entering no man's land. The ferocious means frightened the soldiers of the Eternal Night Empire. Soon, these farmers and slaves who made guest appearances surrendered to the black armored orcs.
General Dreton was extremely dazzling in this battle, and he made the best interpretation of such ancient fierce generals as Xiong Kaishan with his bravery.
He personally led the assault force composed of wolf knights and Bimon beasts, advanced all the way, took down 5 headquarters of the Yongye Empire, captured 3 generals of the Yongye Empire, and killed 19 of them, and even persuaded Ye Shengcai to escape to the Yelang River, came up with ideas to crowding Xia Nan, and finally Ye Shengcai's confidant who was in charge of the remaining military power of the Yongye Empire. , also killed by him.
With his brave battle, the 13th Army of the Holy Sword Empire took only one day to take part of the defense line of the Yeran River. The main force has crossed the river and can encircle the city of the lower reaches of the Yeran River at any time.
Near Yeran City is the core of the Yeran River defense line of the Yongye Empire and the headquarters of Ye Shengcai. The army deployed here is a decent force of the Yongye Empire. They repelled the attack of a small group of 13th Army troops and maintained the stability of part of the defense line.
However, as the defense lines in other areas tend to collapse, the troops here also began to panic, because enemy troops continued to appear on the flanks, letting everyone know that the night river is no longer in danger.
Ye Shengcai was completely desperate this time. The decisive battle between the Sofia Empire and the Holy Sword Empire he was looking forward to did not come as scheduled. The two countries changed their ways to divide up the Holy Empire, and the army of the Holy Sword Empire came as scheduled, and the seemingly indestructible Yelu River defense line collapsed overnight.
Soon, the 2nd Army, which broke through the defense line, surrounded from the flanks, and the armored forces of the Holy Sword Empire that took Wuluan City also blocked Ye Shengcai's way from another direction. At this moment, the world was so big, but there was no place for Ye Shengcai.
The newly built 25th Army took over the security of various places under the command of Chumo, and the law of the Sword Empire made people cheer and abolish the privileges of the aristocracy. There are even institutions specializing in supervising the words and deeds of the nobles. The oppressed civilians for generations finally stood up at this moment and supported the waves of the Sword Empire for a while. The tide set off in the territory of the Eternal Night Empire.
The night saint, who was surrounded by Yean City, ordered his troops to resist desperately. The only thing he can do now is to buy as much time as possible and pray that the Sophia Empire can declare war on the Holy Sword Empire before he is defeated.
And he knew that the night saint had not had much time, and became more suspicious and vicious. He sent people to look for beautiful women everywhere in Yelu City. If he had a little beauty, he would be arrested and raped ***. For a time, the whole night in the city was smoky, and the women hid at home and dared not go to the street.
What's more ridiculous is that despite the smaller and smaller encirclement of the Holy Sword Empire, he sent people everywhere to capture strong men to expand the army. Even the old and weak women and children were forcibly captured by him to dig trenches and pile up low walls for the army.
On June 7, 6 of the Gregorian calendar, on the morning of the day when Arcado succeeded to the throne of the Holy Sword Empire for three years, a private house in Yeran City was hit by a magic cannonball, and the surrounding houses ignited a fire, and more than a dozen civilians were killed. Then, Yean City was attacked by more than a dozen large-caliber long-range magic cannons.
The shell that fell on Ye Shengcai's temporary residence woke up the drunken Ye Shengcai and pushed away several women in his arms. He staggered out of his room without even wearing clothes.
"What's wrong? Where did the explosion come from? Raising his voice, he loudly questioned several guards at the door. Several guards also looked frightened, and they didn't know where the explosion came from.
After a while, several generals were hurriedly summoned into Ye Shengcai's palace. Ye Shengcai dressed randomly and asked his men eagerly: "What's the matter! Where did the explosion come from just now?
A forbidden general led bybowed his head and reported, "Your Majesty, the Sword Empire launched an offensive this morning to capture some of the defensive positions in the west of our army. They advanced about 5 kilometers here, and the nearest defense line is only a little more than 9 kilometers away from Yean City."
"The news came from the observation post that the Sword Empire had set up several large magic cannons on the captured position. The sound of the explosion just now was the magic cannonballs from these magic cannons." Another general added.
Ye Shengcai patted the table and shouted, "Bastard! Their cannons can already hit me! You bastards! Organize troops to fight back! Take back the lost position! Otherwise, I will hang you on the tower!"
"Yes!" Several generals bowed their heads and retreated. Ye Shengcai sat in a chair and fiddled with the woman on the ground with his feet. The woman was strangled to death by Ye Shengcai earlier, just to make him unhappy by the sound of gunfire.
Out of the palace, several generals shook their heads and sighed helplessly. A general frowned and said, "Does he know that it is difficult for our troops to barely hold the position? Counterattack? Shall I take him to fight back?" The tone was full of anger and helplessness.
"We are fighting desperately outside the city. For the sake of the so-called eternal night empire, this bastard harms women in the city! Damn it! Did you see it just now? I don't know whose girl was played to death again!" Another general said angrily.
"All right." The leading general waved his hand: "Don't say it! Don't blame us for being unkind! Let us fight back is to send us to death. In this case, go back to the camp to discuss it carefully, and we have to find a way out for ourselves.
After saying that, the group turned over their horses and ran quickly out of the city.
