Chapter 1156 The Curse of Victory
"Tell me what's going on, why so many soldiers went up to the city wall, but they still haven't taken down the city wall, let alone the city gate."
Hailie growled.
Up to now, at least six or seven thousand soldiers have been invested, and they climbed the city wall, but there is no movement at all, which makes Hai Lie puzzled and angry.
The officers were silent, they didn't know why this happened, obviously the soldiers had gone up, and so many people took down the city wall, but the fact is that the city wall is still in the hands of the other party, which is too unfair Reasonable.
"My lord, why don't I go up and have a look." An officer offered to take the initiative.
Hailie had a gloomy face and was noncommittal.
The officer knew that this was the commander's default meaning, so he took his hand and walked towards the city wall.
After trekking, the officer climbed up the wall-climbing ladder and climbed to the top of the river city, only to find that the ground under his feet was not the ground, but a deep pit temporarily processed by earth elements.
There are sharp stalagmites at the bottom of the pit, and if you fall down, you will not die or be seriously injured.
The officer wanted to walk on the wall next to him, but the wall was covered with a layer of very lubricating oil. If he stepped on it, he would definitely fall down, either outside the city or into a pit.
Damn it, it's a trap!
The officer wanted to go back down the ladder, but at this moment the people behind him had already come up and took their place. He tried to yell for the people on the ladder to go down to make room for him, but just as he was coming up, arrows shot again. shoot at him.
There was no time to speak out, even if there was room on the ladder, he would not dare to stare at the arrow, unless he was willing to risk his headshot.
The arrow was right in front of him, and the officer didn't even have time to issue a reminder, so he had no choice but to jump forward, intending to cross the deep pit and reach the opposite edge.
Fortunately, the pit is not that big, so you can jump over it with a little effort.
However, the officer who jumped into the air also became the target of the subsequent arrows.
Arrows were shot at the officer. He thought something was wrong, and immediately brandished his weapon to defend, but it was useless. He was in mid-air, and wanted to attack or resist the most one-sided defense, so he was still shot.
He was hit in the air, and the officer fell to the ground after landing. When he got up from the ground in embarrassment, he saw many soldiers from the other side surrounded by him, and then he chopped down with knives.
The last scream of life came from the mouth of the officer, and after a while, he died.
After the officer dies, the next man rises, but when he gets up, he is greeted with the same dilemma.
Instinct didn't think much about it. Like the officers in front of him, he made the behavior of jumping into the deep pit, and then it was gone.
The same scene happened at all the climbing ladders. The climbing ladders of the Hucheng army were used by Wenren and became a prop to invite the king to die.
This trick was learned by Chen Fang, but she changed it herself.
The deep pits on the city wall were processed by her mobilizing earth element awakeners, and the oil on the wall piles was collected from the city by her. Relying on these two preparations, she made a city climbing trap for the soldiers of Lake City. In a dilemma, she had to do what she wanted.
Relying on this trap, how many soldiers of the Hucheng army came up and how many died. This is why Hai Lie was puzzled that he had gone up so many people, but still failed to seize control of the lower city wall.
After the volunteer officer died, Hai Lie waited and waited for a long time, but no one came back. He realized that the officer probably wouldn't come back.
"Xiemen, what did they do on the city wall so that no one on our side can come back."
The officers wondered.
With a gloomy face, Hai Lie looked at Hecheng for a while and then ordered: "Order to the front, all the wall climbing ladders are gathered together, tied and fixed, and don't disperse."
Some officers felt that Hai Lie was inappropriate, so they said, "My lord, it's not good to do this, it's too concentrated, the opponent is easier to defend, and the casualties on our side will be even greater."
Hai Lie gave the officer a cold look, and said, "If you think it's not good, then give me an idea."
Officer Nuonuo, what idea does he have?
Hai Lie snorted coldly, and continued to watch the battle ahead.
After a while, according to Hai Lie's order, the soldiers in front put the climbing ladders together and tied them together with ropes to fix them.
With many ladders leaning against each other, they immediately became firm and no longer wobbled. The soldiers climbed up one by one at a much faster speed.
Because multiple ladders were erected, and the extended climbing wall had places to avoid traps, so the soldiers in Hucheng had a place to fight, and the trap designed by Wenren was ineffective.
Wenren noticed this situation and immediately sent someone to destroy the ladder, but all the long-range troops of the Hucheng army below the city wall concentrated on this section of the city wall and suppressed it with firepower.
Under this kind of firepower, the soldiers on Hecheng's side couldn't risk their heads to destroy the climbing ladder. The first crisis appeared.
Wen Ren quickly judged the situation and issued an order decisively.
"Withdraw, abandon the city walls, and prepare for street fighting."
The soldiers of the River City defenders received the order to retreat towards the city where the people had already evacuated before the enemy had too many people rushing up the city wall, preparing to fight the enemy according to the complicated streets in the city.
As the Hecheng defenders withdrew from the city wall, the Hucheng army occupied the place and opened the city gate.
In the rear of the Hucheng army, Hailie saw that the city gate was opened by his own soldiers, his gloomy expression softened, and he rarely smiled.
"My lord, you are really amazing. A small idea made our army attack the city wall. The subordinates are in admiration."
"Your Excellency is worthy of being the number one person in my lake city. He is unparalleled in wisdom and courage."
All the officers flattered Hai Lie in unison, their tone and demeanor were as flattering as they wanted.
Hailie was very pleased to hear this, but on the surface he still acted solemnly.
"Okay, don't talk nonsense."
"The whole army advances, follow me into the city."
So the Hucheng army began to advance with the whole army.
After entering the city gate and inside the city, Hailie heard the sounds of fighting coming from all directions.
An officer ran over and said ashamedly: "My lord, the enemy came down from the city wall and retreated into the city. They fought guerrillas with our soldiers in various streets. Because they were not familiar with the terrain, our soldiers suffered a lot and could not be wiped out for the time being." Enemy, end the battle, and please punish the adults."
After entering the city, Hai Lie was in a good mood. Hearing what the officer said, he didn't care. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. When our army completely enters the city, those stubborn enemies will die."
From his point of view, the soldiers guarding the city of Hecheng are just fish that landed on the shore. It won't be long before the army enters the city, relying on the number of people to push forward, compressing the space, and they can be forced to death in a few strokes, so Hai Lie doesn't care at all. .
Seeing that Hai Lie didn't blame him, the officer who came to report heaved a sigh of relief and stood aside.
"Ah, I smell the fragrance of victory."
Hai Lie smelled the smell of blood in the air, and suddenly said in an intoxicated posture.
Seeing Hai Lie like this, the officers around him whispered to each other.
"My lord has started pretending again."
"Yeah, he does that every time he's about to win."
"But it seems that every time an adult makes such a gesture, there will be some accidents."
"Enn, I remember the last time in Daluo City, when the lord was putting on airs and playing tricks, he was almost assassinated by the ambushing enemy."
"Yes, yes, and last time, also in Liuyang City, he also said something, and then we were ambushed."
"Why are you talking about this? It's just a coincidence, and nothing happened to my lord in the end."
"My lord is fine, but many people who followed him died."
"..."
Speaking of this topic, all the officers secretly felt that they would suffer.
"Everyone, I think someone needs to command the front line, so let's go first." A clever ghost said, and then he ran to Hai Lie, asked for instructions, and left in a hurry.
After the others looked at each other in blank dismay, they cursed in their hearts.
Nima slipped away quickly.
Then they also thought of their excuses and prepared to find a reason to leave.
But before they could come up with an excuse, a soldier ran over in a panic.
"My lord, it's not good. A cavalry unit appeared outside the city and was attacking our rear. Lord Marai led his troops to resist and was killed face to face. The brothers suffered heavy casualties."
All the officers felt their scalps go numb, and they shouted in their hearts, it really shouldn't be too late.
However, they are also fortunate that this expected accident occurred in the rear army, not beside them, so they should be fine.
When Hai Lie heard the news, he was stunned, and then recalled that he seemed to have neglected the army that caused losses to his side last night.
"How many people are in that army?" Hai Lie asked anxiously.
"Probably more than a thousand." The soldier said.
After hearing this, Hai Lie said angrily: "It's only over a thousand and you can't stop it, what are you doing for food?"
Being scolded by the commander, the soldier shrank his head tremblingly, and whispered cowardly: "That army is very strong, and its combat effectiveness is much higher than ours. Their formation is very..."
Hai Lie interrupted the soldier before he finished speaking.
"Don't talk about it, a group of wine bags and rice bags."
"Heros, Mitu, you go outside the city and gather the five thousand soldiers who have not entered the city to destroy them."
The two officers who were named took the order and left with the soldiers who reported the news.
"Marley is a loser. There are at least 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers who haven't entered the city yet. He can't beat an army that only exceeds a thousand. If he doesn't die, I will let him die. It's useless."
Hailie, who was originally in a good mood, became a little unhappy after hearing the news.
The other officers looked at each other in blank dismay, and their faces turned ugly.
"In my opinion, Hros and Mitu are probably going to be finished."
"I think so too."
"..."
"Do you want to do this, so that you can curse people to death?"
"Yeah, although there was an accident, didn't the soldiers say it just now, the other side only has more than a thousand troops, and we still have a lot of troops that haven't entered the city, and the two of them can be regarded as good fighters, with such a big advantage, there is no need to worry at all. "
"Oh, it's not that we cursed them to death, but it's really evil. Let me tell you, in..., forget it, I don't know how to describe it, but I hope that the two of them can come back alive, then we will No more, alas, just wait and see."
The officers waited anxiously.
Twenty minutes later, the soldier who reported the letter just now ran over panting again. After seeing his flustered expression, all the officers were worried.
"My lord, it's not good. When Heros was fighting the opponent, he suddenly stumbled and was beheaded."
"Master Mi Tu led his troops around and was about to surround the enemy. However, because his mount suddenly lost control and went crazy, the speed was too fast. He rushed out of the troops by himself, directly hit the enemy's knife, and died."
Hearing this news, Hailie couldn't help but said: "What, how could this happen? Are the two of them cursed? How could such a thing happen?"
A horse stumbled, a mount went crazy, and both of them lost their heads in unlucky luck. It was simply unimaginable.
All the officers broke out in cold sweat after hearing this.
The curse caused by the f*cking adult's victory call has begun to come true.
"It's over, it's over, according to the previous situation, at least two or three people will die next, and the curse will end."
"My lord will definitely send someone later, who will die."
All the officers broke out in cold sweat. Someone secretly counted the number of people present, and found that there were ten people present. Next, the commander-in-chief will definitely send two more people out. In other words, each person has a one-tenth probability of being sent To respond to robbery.
No, not even a tenth.
Some of them are not strong, and in their current official positions, they rely on connections, so...
Six of the officers turned their eyes to the other four capable officers.
And the four officers thought the same way, their complexions turned pale, and their hearts were pounding.
In fact, they are not timid people, and when they fight, they will sacrifice their lives and forget life and death.
But Hai Lie is too evil, his victory call is simply a bound one-way ticket to hell, there are no accidents, comparable to plot killings, all kinds of accidents, so that you have no possibility of surviving.
They couldn't resist, they didn't even have a chance to survive, they were bound to die, this was what made them afraid.
"Dacromet, Lanka, Lark, the three of you go there." Hailie said in a deep voice.
Hearing Hai Lie's words, the six officers showed such expressions, and they were very grateful.
They were right, Hai Lie sent someone with strength, and what was more surprising was that they sent three this time.
But it's none of their business, they didn't go anyway.
The faces of the three named officers turned pale.
The remaining one showed an escaped expression.
Hai Lie waited for a while, but he didn't see the officer on call responding, so his expression became gloomy, and he said in a stern tone: "What's going on, you guys can't resist orders."
The three officers trembled, thinking that disobeying Hai Lie's order would lead to a terrible fate, that life would be worse than death, and that death would be better than unlucky death, so the three of them did not dare to speak together. down fate.
The other officers watched them leave, all sighing in their hearts, but after a while, the remaining six people came alive.
"They go, we live."
"Thank you for their dedication. If they really can't come back this time, I will take my wife and children home and take good care of them."
"You beast, they have just left, so even if you beat their family, I will participate in such...good things, and leave my family behind whatever you say."
"..."
The other officers were speechless looking at the two people in the conversation.
Thirty minutes later, the soldier who reported the message came again. This time he was also panting to death, but his expression was much calmer.
All the officers looked at it and were a little suspicious.
Could it be that the result will be different this time, that the curse will no longer work?
But no, the soldiers still brought three death news, and the reason why he was calm was because his nerves were numb after being stimulated by what happened one after another.
"My lord, Dacromet... all three lords died in an accident."
Hai Lie: "..."
All the officers breathed a sigh of relief.
Good death, the curse is over.
