Chapter 1185 The Continuous War
In the mountains and wilderness, Duozi, who had been fleeing for days, was already in a state of embarrassment. She and dozens of subordinates around her were lying behind the mounds in the woods, nervously and quietly observing the soil. Regarding the situation outside the Qiu, it was not until a long time later that everyone gradually breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
"The enemy is not chasing us, general, let's take a rest here."
The soldiers were covered in blood and mud, and there was no clean place.
"Be more vigilant." Duozi only said this sentence and lay down on the ground to rest. In the past two days, I have been chased by the enemy's troops. The troops I led have been beaten to pieces, and I have been separated from Tima. I am afraid that most of them have become prisoners of the Demon Moon.
The morale of the soldiers was very low. Those who were injured were recovering from injuries, and the rest were looking for wild fruits and food. They had not had a peaceful sleep or a full meal since their defeat.
After taking a short rest, an officer asked: "General Duozi, what should we do now? Should we look for the lost soldiers and Brigadier General Tima, or..."
Another person said : “Our people have been completely separated, and it is not easy to find them. It's an easy thing. The enemy soldiers are chasing us very hard. Your safety, General Duozi, is the most important thing. We should quickly return to the military camp, get in touch with General Vidmila, and then find a way. Stay here for one more minute. We are just a little bit more in danger.”
Duo Zi Zao. Having thought about this issue, he then said: "We really shouldn't stay here for a long time. This man will make the losses even greater. Before the whole army is annihilated, we have to escape from the enemy's controlled area. We can find some things along the way." We can retrieve as many soldiers as we need. Now we can rest in a different place for half a day. , wait until night to escape the enemy’s search in the dark.”
As time passed, it was already afternoon, and at around three o’clock, Vidmilla received a message from the front lines of Reina and Elverum, which were under heavy attack by the enemy at the same time. News, military information from the Military Intelligence Department came like snow.
"These Demon Moon Army are really in a hurry. They have just captured so many towns, and now they are coming towards us without rest. Ruhr is not willing to give us a chance to breathe." In the war room. The staff officer was quite worried: “The two towns of Reina and Elverum It's not big. Our frontline troops retreated in a hurry. We don't know how long we can support the enemy's attack with such a large force."
Wickler said: "Sir, don't worry too much. When you gave the order before, The soldiers in the two cities have been ordered to be fully prepared. It is the last barrier to Bell Mountain City heading south. The fortifications are well-repaired. There is no problem in holding it until the domestic army comes to help."
The military officer smiled and said: "Wickler, you are calm, look. He didn't look like a new recruit, but the general had already issued several orders. Back home, the reinforcements have been delayed. Now the Demon Moon has an advantage over our army in all aspects, and we have fallen into a great passive position."
Vedmila sat at the conference table. The chair in front of him remained silent, but he no longer had his usual casual demeanor.
At this time, another piece of military information was sent. The staff officer took a look and said: "Sure enough, Mo Yue launched a fire attack on Reina."
Outside Reina City, flames engulfed the sky. With the help of the slight north wind and the help of magicians, the fire burned the reeds and spread rapidly to the temporary military camp stationed in the reeds.
Outside the military camp, officers hurriedly gave orders and soldiers were busy. "Quick, the magician quickly builds an earth wall and uses wind to slow down the fire."
Use wind against wind to slow down the fire, and use heavy earth walls to protect the safety in front of the fortress, but the magic of the magic moon The divisions took advantage of the natural north wind and came prepared, and they already had the upper hand. Gradually, Saint Biko's soldiers could no longer resist, and the earthen walls built with magic were burned down one after another, forcing them to retreat.
Seeing that the soldiers of Saint Bikoya were forced back by the flames, Demon Moon's army advanced steadily in the reed field that was burned to ashes. At this time, Charles, the leader of Moyue's army, felt a little confused when he saw that the defenders in Reina City in the distance did not move, nor did they go out to rescue.
Outside Reina City, the retreating Saint-Bicque runner-up was led by Centaur General Eiffel. His Staff of the Sages had been lost. He held the withered cane in his hand and looked at the approaching fire. , the anger and hatred in his eyes were dripping with blood: "In today's battle, I must repay the shame of being captured that day!" Just as the Demon Moon Army was building a road in the burned-out swamp, they didn't know that they had already They stepped into the trap that Eiffel had laid for them. The flames steamed the swamp, and the swamp toxins that had been gathered under the guidance of Eiffel and other magicians were slowly released after the flames.
"General Eiffel, it's almost time." People around Eiffel reminded.
Eiffel stepped forward with his horse's hooves, his withered cane stick inserted into the compacted earth, and the magic ritual started, immediately pulling the poison magic crystals that had been buried in the swamp, and connecting the magic circles with each other.
Under the influence of magic, the evaporated poison has unknowingly invaded the Demon Moon Army's breath and skin. With a cry of surprise, the entire Demon Moon Army gradually became chaotic.
"Kill, kill, ah! Kill these monsters quickly!" Moyue's soldiers shouted loudly, and they saw in their eyes the illusory monsters rushing towards them.
"What's going on?" An officer saw many soldiers and mages slashing into the air and casting magic. Many of them had begun to hurt their own people.
The officers and soldiers who had not yet been affected were surprised and felt a little dizzy. They were shocked and said: "No, we have been poisoned!"
The toxin is passed through the power of nature. It slowly seeped out from the ground without any magic power, so that magicians who were sensitive to magic were not aware of it, and the anti-toxic items carried by some soldiers did not have much effect.
Not only the soldiers, but also Charles began to feel a little uncomfortable. He quickly ordered the magicians in the team to try to detoxify. However, the poison element has strange and changeable characteristics. It is formed through magic or the influence of the natural environment. How can different toxins be detoxified in a short time?
The hallucinations affected by toxins spread like a plague among the Demon Moon army, and more and more people are falling into this kind of hallucinations. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Charles had no choice but to abandon the poisoned soldiers and retreat with the remaining troops in order to avoid falling into other traps.
On the other side, Elverum, more than sixty kilometers east of Reina, was being attacked by several armies of the Demon Moon. Although Elverum is larger and more solid than Reina, it does not have a better defensive location than Reina. However, although the Demon Moon Army came with force, they did not immediately forcefully attack. They only used sling chariots and artillery fire to build a platform and attack from a distance, forming a stalemate with Elverum's city defense.
On the wall platform, the Niugui General Kucha, wearing extremely thick cast iron armor and soft armor lined with green dragon scales, inspected the troops above and below the city wall, and from time to time looked at the stationary Demon Moon Army in the distance. , the magic golden ring on his nose swayed with his breath.
After a while, his adjutant arrived: "We have figured it out. The Demon Moon general who is leading the attack is Dragon Soul Warrior Mutuo. There are two other generals who have not fought with us before. Yes, it should be reinforcements from Moyue. The specific information is still under investigation."< br>
Kucha's rough face became even more gloomy: "Mutuo came in person. It seems that this battle can be fought."
The adjutant said: "Mutuo has always been good at fighting. , known for his courage in fighting, why did he delay in attacking after coming to the city for so long? ”
"He must have his own plan. His purpose may just be to contain our troops here. Maybe Reina is Mo Yue's main attack target." Kucha moved a chair and sat on the wall and said: "Other generals in the branch , don’t be careless, Mu Tuo is not an easy opponent to deal with.”
