Just when everyone was still surprised why an injured scout came over, another shocking thing happened.
Suddenly, one of the scouts was pierced by an arrow and fell from his horse.
General Bing's eyes widened. It turned out that there were pursuers behind the scouts. Although they were not many in number, they were armed with glowing crossbows. The injured scouts were unable to resist at all.
Upon seeing this, Feng Du immediately shouted to the guard regiment: "Open the door and respond."
The guard regiment that had been preparing immediately opened the middle door, and a group of cavalry rushed forward quickly.
After the captain's signal, the crossbow in the cavalry's hand opened and fired into the distant sky.
"Whoosh!"
Dozens of arrows flew out and landed between the scouts and pursuers.
As the arrow flashed red, a series of explosions began.
"Boom, boom, boom!" These explosions frightened the pursuing horses, causing them to slow down.
But the pursuers immediately continued to drive their horses, ignoring the flames of the explosion, and rushed straight away.
But because of the slowdown just now, the scouts had already distanced themselves, and at the same time, Lang Fangcheng's guard regiment had rushed out.
The leader of the pursuing troops analyzed the situation and ordered to suspend the pursuit and retreat first.
The scouts were sent into the city gate by the guard regiment, where Feng Du and the Seven Generals of Ghosts and Gods were already waiting.
"What happened?" Feng Du said excitedly.
"The specific situation is unknown, but there was a fierce battle at the hostage handover site. One thousand of our soldiers were completely defeated and almost all the army was wiped out. The captain felt that something was wrong and immediately asked us to notify him, but there were pursuers behind him. Hey, we have lost many brothers."
After hearing what the scout said, Feng Du suddenly became furious.
"What does Kedoin mean? What does he mean?"
"I don't know. We can't tell what happened at all. We only know that if we don't escape quickly, we will be doomed." When the detective spoke, there was blood at the corner of his mouth.
"Your Majesty, the detector shows that tens of thousands of troops are coming this way, and they will come into view soon." A guard shouted.
"Enable comprehensive defense and prepare to defend the city." Feng Du said angrily.
"yes."
A few minutes later, the Keduin army came into view, but they only advanced slowly and stopped about a thousand meters away from Langfang City. It is very important to stop at this distance, because the general detector and perception are only about one thousand meters, so as long as this distance is reached, the defenders cannot judge how many people there are on the siege.
On the top of the city, a general said angrily: "Ke Duoyin has gone too far to bully others. Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my troops out of the city to meet the enemy."
"What are you in a hurry for? Let's take a look first."
"Your Majesty, why do we ghosts and gods fear Keduoyin?"
"Are you sick? Can you have some brains?" Feng Du couldn't bear it anymore and kicked the general to the ground.
At this time, the horn of Keduin's attack sounded, and hundreds of soldiers rushed towards Langfang City carrying several large battering rams.
Feng Du was completely confused. The other party did not send an envoy to negotiate with Feng Du, but went to war directly. This battle must have come too soon.
"Bombardment, stop the impact of the battering ram." Feng Du ordered.
The defending artillery immediately turned the fort towards the battering ram, reducing the impact of the battering ram through violent shelling. Even if the battering ram successfully hit the city wall or gate, the damage caused has been greatly reduced.
On top of the city, General Dou felt more and more strange.
"Your Majesty, the opponent only has eight battering rams. If we want to break the city, are they too few?"
"I don't know. If we really want to attack the city, this number is indeed too small. But it cannot be ruled out that the opponent is not fully prepared. Maybe their subsequent battering rams and slings will slowly catch up."
"Your Majesty, since the war has begun, there is no need for us to drag our feet. My subordinates suggest taking the initiative and destroying the battering ram troops first."
"Is it really the point where we have to fight?"
"Your Majesty, let your subordinates lead the cavalry regiment to charge into the formation and find out how many people there are on the other side. If possible, capture one of the other side's leaders and find out what's going on." General Bing said anxiously.
"Okay, let's fight."
Feng Du first sent out a small group of elite troops, which quickly destroyed the battering ram troops. In addition, the cavalry regiment led by General Bing rushed straight to the enemy's flank in order to explore the enemy's true strength. At the same time, Feng Du personally flew out of Langfang City and came to high altitude to observe the battle situation with a telescope. From the sky, you can see a dense mass of enemy troops. The exact number is not clear, but it is estimated to be between two and three hundred thousand. This does not include those enemy troops hiding in ruined buildings.
General Bing leads 10,000 elite troops to attack the enemy's right flank. Even if they cannot defeat them, they can evacuate in time. But what was unexpected was that General Bing drove straight in after contact with the enemy. Because the enemy's main force did not come to support the flank at all, they almost allowed General Bing's cavalry regiment to gallop on the right flank.
General Bing's detector showed that Keduin's troops this time were as high as 300,000, but they were scattered and their actions were lagging behind. The formation adopted by the opponent is a very low-level square formation, and there is no combination of shield soldiers and spear soldiers on the outside. In short, the combination of arms is very confusing. Only people who have never fought in a war can do such a thing. . However, if you think about it carefully, this situation seems not difficult to understand. You must know that although the soldiers of the Kdoin tribe are of good quality, they have never participated in large-scale battles, their combat experience is almost zero, and their IQs are not high. When not fighting, they can scare people with their numbers. When the war actually started, it was like a piece of loose sand.
General Bing sent out a signal to attack, but Feng Du still hesitated.
In fact, Feng Du, who was high in the sky, had already seen the loopholes in Keduoyin's formation. If Lang Fangcheng's army was deployed in full force, the probability of winning this battle was very high. However, even if you can win, you will have to pay a heavy price. Although the opponent's formation is messy, they have hundreds of thousands of people after all, and most of them have very good combat capabilities. Lang Fangcheng's total strength is only 70,000 to 80,000. Do we really want to fight?
At this moment, General Dou came out of the small door without authorization and flew towards Feng Du.
"What are you doing out here?" Feng Du shouted.
"Your Majesty, I have a concern."
"What?"
"The total number of Keduin troops should be 500,000, but the current number of enemy troops should be only 200,000 to 300,000."
"so what?"
"There are two possibilities. One is that Kedoin is not serious about fighting, and the other is that they are serious about fighting, but they are not sufficiently prepared, causing the other half of the army to be on their way."
"I understand what you mean. You want me to attack with all my troops. If Keduin is not serious, then we will definitely win. If they are serious, then we can destroy them before the other half of the army arrives. Part of the main force.”
"exactly."
"It seems that the arrow is on the string and must be fired."
"Your Majesty, give the order."
"Well," Feng Du looked at Lang Fangcheng and shouted, "attack with the whole army!"
"Yes!" the legion commander below responded.
As the war drums roared, the gate of Langfang City slowly opened.
The commanders of each legion led the troops and rushed out of Langfang City.
Less than half a minute after the army rushed out, the ground beneath their feet suddenly shattered, and countless giant insects emerged, opening their bloody mouths at the ghost and god soldiers.
This giant insect is called a ground-eating beast. It can swallow rocks freely. It looks like a giant caterpillar. Its mouth is so big that it can swallow seven or eight people in one bite. Detectors show that the strength of these giant insects is as high as 500.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of ghosts and gods were swallowed up.
However, the fact that thousands of people were swallowed did not affect the army's attack. The others continued to charge forward, completely ignoring their teammates.
In fact, it is not that they are ignoring their comrades, but they know that their comrades will be fine.
Suddenly, screams were heard from the earth-eating beasts. Countless ground-eating beasts were cut by sharp red weapons, and all the swallowed soldiers jumped out from the cracks in their skin.
It turned out that it was General Zhe, one of the Eight Generals of Ghosts and Gods. He used speeds that were invisible to the naked eye and used his best sword skills to disembowel these earth-eating beasts one after another.
General Zhe stood on one of the earth-eating beasts and shouted excitedly: "The insect monsters of the Zerg tribe are actually so vulnerable."
However, after being proud of himself, General Zhe was still very curious. The insect monster underneath was already dead. Why didn't his soldiers crawl out of its belly? There is obviously a huge crack, and they can climb out.
The curious General Zhe carefully sensed the insect monster's belly, but could not detect any combat power response. Could it be that this insect monster didn't eat any soldiers?
At this moment, a weak combat response appeared.
I saw a hand sticking out from the insect monster's belly.
General Zhe hurried over, grabbed him with his hands, and pulled him out.
"Hey, how are you?" General Zhe asked.
The soldier didn't answer, and suddenly there was a flash of cold light. The soldier pulled out a red dagger from nowhere and stabbed the general in the eye.
The Ghost Tribe originally lacked resources and technology, so General Zhe's helmet was similar to an ordinary soldier's helmet. There was no transparent barrier or glass-like protection, so the eyes were exposed.
The soldier thought he could succeed, but who would have thought that General Zhe suddenly appeared, dodged the critical blow, and opened a distance of more than ten meters from the soldier.
General Zhe said angrily: "What are you doing? Why do you want to sneak attack on me?"
The soldier gave a strange smile: "You are indeed one of the eight generals of ghosts and gods. You can still escape in such a short distance. To be honest, I underestimate you."
"Who are you? Why are you wearing the armor of one of our soldiers?"
"I am a Western swordsman, Zoe."
After Zoe said that, she pulled out her Western sword and swung it. The belly of the big meat worm was cut open again, and the corpses of a dozen ghost soldiers flowed out of its belly.
It turns out that when the earth-eating beast swallowed the ghost soldiers, Zoe, who was hiding in the earth-eating beast, killed all the soldiers and then put on the soldiers' armor, just to be able to make a successful sneak attack.
"Granny, he almost hit you. I want you to die on the ground." After General Zhe said this, he flashed his sword and slashed at Zoe.
But Zoe's reaction was amazingly fast. He didn't move at all. He just raised his hand slightly and the sword held the big knife.
General Zhe was a little unbelievable that his full blow was blocked so easily.
