Chapter 1424 Capture
With a loud noise, the solid north gate shattered into pieces under the terrified eyes of the Demon Race and the Beastmen soldiers, and a giant mechanical creation slowly drove into the gate.
"Kill."
Human soldiers and goblin soldiers rushed in from the gaps on both sides of the mechanical giant, and charged at the dumbfounded monster guards at the gate.
"Run away."
"Fight."
Facing the murderous human race and goblin race, the soldiers of the demon race and the wild orcs showed two completely different attitudes.
The Demon Race soldiers turned their heads and ran away immediately, while the Beastmen soldiers chose to fight.
As a result, it goes without saying that the wild beastman, who was hard to beat with one punch and four hands, was wiped out, and the demon tribe who retreated in time when the situation was not good escaped.
"Report, all the walls of the North Gate District have been taken down, the two battle tower barracks have also been occupied, and the remaining enemy troops have been repulsed and evacuated."
The soldiers reported the battle situation to Wenren.
A border wall has four city gates, and each city gate divides an area, and there is a battle tower barracks between each area for troops to garrison, so as long as the two battle tower barracks on the left and right of the area are occupied, it is equal to control this area.
"Order the two troops occupying the battle tower barracks to continue the attack and wipe out all the garrison troops of the other three gates."
"yes."
Swinging back the messenger, Wenren spread out the map of the southern territory presented by the goblin royal family in his hand.
"Deputy Marshal, the seventh border wall is huge. If we want to occupy it all, we simply don't have enough troops. If the enemy turns back and counterattacks, we may not be able to defend it." Ans said worriedly.
Of the seven border walls in the southern border, the first ring is bigger than the first ring, and the seventh border wall at the outermost is even bigger. Even if it can be captured, the army's tens of thousands of troops will not be able to defend it.
"There's no need to defend. We just need to drive away the garrison troops there. We just need to focus on defending the two tower barracks at the north gate and make sure the north gate is under our control." Wen Ren replied looking at the map.
Caska, who was standing next to Ans, asked inexplicably: "Then we just need to do a good job of defending the two battle tower barracks at the north gate. Why are we attacking the other three gates?"
Wenren shook his head and said, "This is an order from the commander in chief."
"Master?"
"Well, the commander-in-chief said that doing so can better pave the way for the next step of the plan."
"oh."
Anse and Caska pretended to understand, but they still didn't understand.
However, this does not prevent them from carrying out the order, anyway, they will understand later.
Afterwards, the two of them led their respective troops along the city wall to attack the battle tower barracks of other gates.
One day later, all the four battle tower barracks were captured, and most of the guarding demons and wild beast soldiers were wiped out, only a few escaped.
After capturing the barracks, Ans and Caska led their troops back to the north gate, leaving part of their troops to defend the two battle tower barracks in the north gate area, and then returned to Wenren.
"Kaska, you stay here and sit in command. Be sure to keep an eye on the north gate. This is our way of retreat, so we can't lose anything."
Whether the plan is successful or not, it is always necessary to secure a way out.
"Yes, deputy commander."
Although Kaska wanted to go to the sixth border wall with the army, but the order of the army was inevitable, so he could only accept the order in disappointment.
After that, Wenren left 2,000 soldiers behind and led the army to the sixth border wall.
...
"What, the seventh border wall is lost, that's impossible."
The Great Elder of the Demon Race looked at the soldier who sent the information with disbelief.
The soldier delivering the letter smiled wryly, "My lord, it's absolutely true, the little ones dare not lie about the military situation."
The Great Elder looked at the soldier's expression and knew that the other party did not dare to lie, so he said angrily: "Waste, what a bunch of waste, with such a high and thick wall, even if I send a pig, I can guard it casually, but They were hacked by someone."
The city walls are so high and thick, the Great Elder really couldn't figure out how he could lose.
Could it be that all the enemies can fly, or are they all awakened ones?
"How did the enemy attack the city wall?" the Great Elder asked.
The soldier replied: "The city gate is broken, and the enemy built the city wall from the inside."
"How could the city gate be broken? Even if they bombarded with core energy, it would take at least two days."
Although the city gate of the north gate has been changed, it is not as good as the previous metal gate, but the wood used in the new city gate is also extremely hard. Even if it is hit with core energy cannons, it will not be bombarded three to five hundred times. will not be damaged.
"What method did they use to break down the gate?"
"Back to the Great Elder, the enemy used a very huge mechanical creation with a black ball as big as a house, and destroyed the gate in just a dozen blows."
The soldier described the appearance of the engineering vehicle, and when he spoke, his eyes showed a trace of fear.
When the construction vehicle swung the black ball and smashed the city gate, the movement caused by it left a big shadow on him.
"Mechanical creation?"
The Great Elder thought for a while.
It should be something from the last era.
There are many weird things in the three eras, but it is not impossible for a special demolition machine to appear.
"Even if the other party has such a thing, you just watch it destroy the gate, ah." The elder said angrily.
The soldier hurriedly said: "No, my lord, the commander took us to stop it immediately, but ordinary weapons can't hurt the mechanical creation at all."
"Then let the awakened go."
The soldier smiled wryly.
"My lord, only the awakened ones above the middle level can cause damage to the mechanical creation. The first level can't do it at all, but the only commander in our army is the middle level..."
He was only an intermediate awakened person, so he couldn't stop it.
The Great Elder's face darkened.
"Then where is your leader now?"
"It has retreated to the sixth border wall, and jointly deployed defenses with the defenders there."
"Where is the wild beastman?"
"Most were wiped out by the enemy, only a few escaped to their own garrison at the Sixth Border Wall"
"..."
"Great elder, the commander asked me to ask you, what should I do next?" the soldier asked.
The great elder looked at the other two elders who were also present, and asked, "Do you have any suggestions?"
The second elder thought for a moment and said: "The gate of the seventh border wall cannot be blocked, and the gate of the sixth border wall is even more irresistible. We can't let them destroy one by one. We can only increase troops to the sixth border wall." gone."
As the first line of defense to the outside world, the gates of the seventh border wall are the most important, so the materials used are also the strongest, and the gates of the border wall behind are only made of ordinary materials, which must not be able to stop the enemy's machinery Creation broken.
If the opponent is allowed to destroy the city gates again and again and seize control of one border wall after another, then wouldn't they become a turtle in the urn, and the morale of the army will also drop to the bottom because of this.
Therefore, the enemy must not be allowed to advance any further. No matter what, the opponent must be blocked from the sixth border wall, and find a way to recapture the seventh border wall as a gateway.
The third elder nodded in agreement.
"Then do that."
"Let's stop hiding, and send our troops to the Sixth Border Wall to repel the enemy."
The Great Elder made a decision.
The second and third elders agreed.
At the critical moment of life and death, it is not the time to preserve strength. If the enemy is allowed to drive straight in, they will undoubtedly lose. When the time comes, they will be besieged here, and no matter how many troops they have, it will be useless.
"What about the wild orcs, should we talk to them, it's best to unite together, so that we have a chance of winning against the enemy." The third elder said.
"Well, that's what I think too. Later, you and I will go to the Wild Beasts together."
"good."
