Chapter 263 Reinforcements from the Izumo Empire
Gu Fengchen stood on the city wall holding the head of the Flame Thorn, took a deep breath, and roared like thunder: "The enemy chief is dead, all soldiers, kill the enemy ! ”
After so many days of fighting, the city walls of Mocheng are already dilapidated. The dark walls are covered with traces of blood stained by fire, as well as cracks and pits caused by arrow pits and stone throws.
The soldiers of the Jiama Empire were already exhausted, but it was not until this moment, when Gu Fengchen took Yan Thorn's head in his hand, that the soldiers of the Jiama Empire finally came to their senses. !
A roar of cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami erupted from the top of the city, which was deafening.
The morale that had been suppressed by the snake people for several months burst out at this moment.
The defenders of the Jiama Empire, from the generals to the soldiers, are all excited at this moment.
On the other hand, on the side of the Snake Tribe, after the death of Flame Thorn, the formation was in chaos.
Especially the subordinates directly under the command of Yan Ci, after seeing their boss beheaded by the enemy, some cried in grief, and some began to retreat and flee in panic.
At this moment, the morale of the entire snake-men clan dropped rapidly, and they looked faintly defeated.
"Gu Fengchen!" Nan Snake said with a gloomy face.
This boy broke all his plans.
The Flame Thorn is the highest combat power of the snake people, the peak of the fighting king.
The loss of combat power is certainly a huge loss, but what is really bad is the collapse of morale.
You must know that this time, the snake people went on an expedition with the Izumo Empire. The two countries had just formed an alliance, and the morale they had finally gathered was cut off by Gu Fengchen's sword. Most of it.
In battles on the battlefield, soldiers rely entirely on their morale to sustain themselves. When they are defeated, it means that their morale is gone.
Nan She narrowed her eyes.
It has no plans to withdraw its troops. Although they have almost used their trump cards, the Izumo Empire will send two more fighting emperors to join the battle, so Nanshe has no intention of withdrawing its troops.
It’s just that he can’t continue to attack the city now. After the Flame Thorn was killed, the morale of the snake army has been messed up. Continuing to attack the city will only lead to death. He must go back first to stabilize the morale of the army and regroup. .
But because Nan Snake is a real dog-headed strategist and the brains of the Snake people's soldiers, his reputation is much higher than that of Flame Thorn. With him, the army can be stable. Looking at the snake-human army fading away like a tide, Gu Fengchen stood at the top of the city with a penetrating gaze.
The sunset is like blood. Regardless of victory or defeat, war is always the most cruel.
In the bloody sunset, the defenders of the Gama Empire silently cleaned up the corpses of their enemies and comrades, as well as the broken limbs.
Clean the battlefield when it’s time to clean the battlefield, repair the city wall when it’s time to repair the city wall, and replenish crossbow arrows when it’s time to replenish the crossbow arrows.
Everyone started busy with what they were doing.
The joy of victory is temporary, because the enemy does not give up, but only temporarily withdraws its troops.
They need to be ready for the enemy to attack at any time.
Fortunately, the soldiers have light in their eyes because they have faith and a backbone.
Especially the blow from Gu Fengchen that killed the Flame Thorn from the front, which greatly improved morale.
Although I still have some trump cards, there are not many left.
Princess Yaoye, wearing a robe, stood at the top of the city. She sighed and asked Nalan Su, "How many people died in our battle?"
Nalan Su showed an ugly smile: "Twelve hundred people died. The biggest losses in our battle were artillery and crossbows. It is very troublesome to repair these things."
Yaoye glanced at the snake people stationed in the distance. At this moment, they are setting up camp in an orderly manner, with no intention of fleeing.
Yaoye frowned, "Theoretically, if Yan Zhu is dead, then the snake people should withdraw, but now, the other party has no intention of retreating, which means that the other party still has a trump card."
Nalansu said: "It may be that the masters from the Izumo Empire are coming. Moreover, the opponent's military morale has been stabilized now. With Nanshe here, the opponent's military morale cannot be disturbed. Moreover, they are waiting for the reinforcements from the Izumo Empire." Once it arrives, the pressure on our side will be even greater.”
