The Rhapsody of Mounted Blade Players

"Mike! I can't stand it anymore! General Tumula ordered a retreat! Let everyone take a rest before fighting the enemy in the streets!" A demon officer rushed to the front line as a messenger and shouted to a friend of his.

It's useless if you don't shout loudly. The sound on the battlefield is too noisy. If the sound is lowered, you can't hear clearly at all.

The demon officer named Mike looked very young, and it should be his first time on the battlefield. In fact, that was exactly the case. His grandfather used to be a powerful demon lord, but it was a pity that his father failed to live up to his expectations. Inheriting his grandfather's powerful cultivation talent, he has barely managed to improve his strength to the late second level even though he is thousands of years old. However, he is different. He has already broken through to the second level at just over fifty years old, and his combat power is comparable to that of a third-level innate warrior. .

With such an outstanding talent for cultivation, Mike wanted to try his best while he was young. It would be best if he could restore the glory of his grandfather's generation.

Not long ago, someone from the military university where he was studying came to recruit people. Mike thought this was a good opportunity, so he agreed to the recruitment and decided to go to the battlefield to test the results of his studies over the years in actual combat.

The demon in charge of recruiting people saw that Mike was not weak and his academic performance was among the best in the military academy, so he directly gave him, a rookie who had just entered the battlefield, the position of commander-in-chief.

The other party gave such a high treatment, and Mike also wanted to repay the favor, so he worked very hard in this sudden battle. Most of the time, he led his troops at the front and killed him with his own hands. There are more than a hundred undead warriors.

At this time, when he heard his friend telling him to retreat, Mike said unwillingly: "Abandoning the city wall just like that? Once the city wall is abandoned, it will be difficult for us to take it back!"

"There is no way. There are too many enemy troops. Even if we send all the young men who have just been recruited in the city, we won't be able to hold on for long. It's better to give up early and let everyone take a rest and take a breath before returning to the city. Fight on the street with the other side!”

Just when Mike's friend and senior was persuading the other party, a loud noise suddenly came from the direction of the city gate. It seemed that a violent explosion had occurred there, and even the city wall where they were standing was shaken.

It turned out that the team sent by Zhou Xiaoyang to attack the city gate had made a breakthrough. Speaking of which, the gate of Baiyang City was actually not very strong. It was made of ordinary hardwood and was only covered with a layer of iron.

At the beginning, the army sent by Zhou Xiaoyang consisted of more than a dozen zombie giants carrying a huge log and hit the city gate until it was crumbling.

However, those demons quickly removed many door panels from the residences in the city to strengthen the city gate, and then moved a lot of stones to block the back of the door.

This made the soldiers sent by Zhou Xiaoyang finally break the city gate and found that the back of the door was still blocked tightly by a large number of door panels and stones.

When the human soldiers in charge saw this situation, they tried to get dozens of grenades from other comrades, and then punched a hole more than one meter deep in the wooden boards and stones and used these magic grenades to They were all stuffed in and detonated at the same time.

The power of a single magic grenade explosion is enough to seriously injure or even kill a warrior who has just entered the innate realm. With dozens of them detonating together, one can imagine its power. A lot of debris piled up at the city gate was directly blown away, and even the city gate hole was almost collapsed by the explosion, so it was completely normal for Mike and the others to feel the vibration of the city wall under their feet.

Seeing that the city gate had finally successfully opened a passage, the undead army that was attacking the city gate in a complex manner immediately began to pour into the city like ants. Those demon warriors who were injured and fell to the ground by the previous explosion had no time to get up. He was hacked to death by the enemy troops who rushed into the city.

After seeing the successful demonstration of their comrades, the other troops were also preparing to do the same at the other three city gates. After all, what Zhou Xiaoyang wanted this time was speed, and it should be okay even if some of the city was damaged.

And even if only the east city gate was breached, the defenders in the city were obviously panicking. Mike's friend didn't bother to persuade him anymore and just pulled his junior away. After all, the city gates below them were all closed. It has been breached, and the enemy troops are pouring in quickly. Once the enemy has completely established a foothold, won't those who are still on the city wall have their escape route cut off? He didn't believe that other people in the city would risk their lives to save them.

At this time, Mike was also a little stunned because the city gate was captured by the enemy, so he was dragged along by his friends and quickly ran down the city wall, and then hurriedly retreated into the city with many soldiers.

The two demons had just withdrawn into the city, and huge explosions were heard from the other three gates. It seemed that they had been broken through by the enemy.

Fortunately, the garrison in the city had already planned to withdraw to the city to fight in the streets, so at this time, troops could be dispatched more calmly to assist the troops in front to withdraw.

Mike, who had recovered from the shock, immediately helped other officers start to reorganize the troops who had been withdrawn from the front line.

On the other side, the undead army that had just captured Baiyang City also began to regroup under the command of those human soldiers, and wiped out the remaining enemy soldiers who had not had time to retreat.

Some of the enemy troops who had no time to retreat chose to surrender when they saw more and more enemy troops, but others chose to resist.

After more than half an hour, the remaining enemy soldiers who were stubbornly resisting on various sections of the city wall were finally completely wiped out.

Then Zhou Xiaoyang ordered the army to continue attacking the city. Although the city gates and walls had been captured, the next battle would not become easier. After all, if they wanted to continue advancing, they could only attack along those streets. .

Compared with the city wall, these streets and alleys are not only narrower, but the terrain is also very complex. Zhou Xiaoyang couldn't send many soldiers and horses to launch an attack at the same time. After all, these streets were only seven or eight meters wide at their widest. Naturally, they couldn't send thousands or even tens of thousands of horses at one go like before.

However, Zhou Xiaoyang was not anxious because of this, but first sent out thousands of zombie spearmen and skeleton crossbowmen to launch a tentative attack.

The zombie spearmen walked at the front of the team and set up a phalanx of spears. Under the command of the human officers, they took very neat steps, so even as the troops advanced, the spear formation was not chaotic at all. The plague zombies and infected bacteria mixed in the team gradually caused the attacking teams to be shrouded in a layer of miserable green corpse poison mist, making it impossible for the demon warriors in the city to see clearly. The true appearance of the attacking enemy troops.

"Stark, when will the reinforcements arrive? There are too many enemy troops. Even if we engage in street fighting, we estimate that we can only hold on for two or three days at most!" Mike lay on the roof of a private house while observing the slow-moving people. The enemy troops slowly advancing along the streets asked their friends.

"We are in a border area, and there are still many troops stationed in those big cities. If you include the militiamen, it only takes one day to pull out an army of hundreds of thousands. These troops We can also assemble and rush on the road, and then regroup before arriving at the battlefield. This will only take more than a day at most, so as long as we continue to hold on, the chance of waiting for reinforcements is still very high!" Mike's senior saw this! His friend was nervous, so he spoke to comfort him.
