The violent fire spread instantly outside the Iron Wall City. There is no doubt that the large wooden barrels that were smashed from the wall were all filled with high-concentration kerosene!

The terrifying high-temperature flames instantly engulfed the group of orc soldiers who were closest to the Iron Wall City wall at that time. Listening to the screams that kept coming from his ears, Zhao Pan showed no mercy on his face, and even let the people on the city wall...

The soldiers threw several rounds of rolling logs down. While attacking the orc soldiers under the city, the rolling logs also became the best combustion aid, making the fire burn even brighter!

Looking at the soaring fire in the distance, Li Yuanjie, who had always been extremely calm, was really furious now. He jumped up from the bronze chariot and said, "Grass! Retreat! Call them quickly."

Get back!!"

Although the number of tauren is not as rare as that of elephant men, it is definitely not many. Each of them can fight and resist. If placed in its orc army, they are all elite-level existences. If this suddenly breaks down

Too much has been lost, and even the ruler of the orc civilization has no place to replenish it in a short period of time.

Li Yuanjie, who was really heartbroken, decisively ordered the werewolf guards beside him to blow the retreat horn. Facing the retreating orc army, Zhao Pan certainly wouldn't mind letting his slingers and archers chase the opponent for a few more rounds to expand the scope.

Damage and results.

However, the opponent was obviously unwilling to retreat directly. After exiting the attack range, the entire orc army quickly regrouped and gathered directly on the high ground to confront Zhao Pan on the Iron Wall City from a distance.

When he got up, looking at Li Yuanjie's posture, it was obvious that he planned to attack the city again as soon as the fire was extinguished.

But how easy would it be for a fire burning with kerosene to go out? Not to mention that at such a critical moment, Zhao Pan would not let the fire go out.

After a period of fruitless stalemate, Li Yuanjie knew that there was no point in waiting any longer. He curled his lips in displeasure and then issued a fierce withdrawal order, "Retreat temporarily! Find a place to camp and rest!"

Looking at the temporarily withdrawn orc army, the soldiers defending the Iron Wall City cheered and celebrated another victory. However, as the protagonist of this city defense battle, Zhao Pan was not optimistic in his heart.

Because he knew very well that this fire was just a stop-gap measure. How much kerosene could he have? Counting all the inventory in Iron Wall City, he could last at most one more game. After one game, if he could not wait for reinforcements, he would face

With such a monster army, Iron Wall City will most likely be unable to defend itself.

Moreover, if a high-temperature fire like this burns for a long time, it will also cause damage to the walls of Iron Wall City and make the walls fragile. It can be said to be a double-edged sword. Whether it can buy enough time depends on

Can the other double-edged sword he wields play its intended role...

After walking down the city wall, Zhao Pan quickly called Liu Zheng, Zhou Yi, Zhang Lue, Liu Tao and other military generals, as well as Zhou Tao, the lord of Iron Wall City, to rush to the military camp for discussion.

After a brief analysis and statement of the entire battle situation, everyone's expressions became serious. Among them, Liu Zheng even frowned slightly and said, "What do you mean?"

"I want the people of Tiebi City to evacuate towards Shangyuan City in the rear starting from today. While retreating, take away all the resources such as ores that can be brought with them. If the reinforcements fail to arrive,

, I can at most withstand one more round of siege. After one round of siege, if the reinforcements have not arrived, then I will choose to preserve my troops, abandon Iron Wall City, and retreat to Shangyuan City, leaving an empty city by then.

Just give it to those monsters." Zhao Pan said his plan with a calm expression.

After listening, Liu Zheng couldn't help but frown more tightly, "Are you too pessimistic? From today's siege battle, we can see that although those monsters are very strong, their numbers are relatively limited.

Moreover, we have won a small victory today, and the confidence of the soldiers has just been built up. Now asking the people of Iron Wall City to evacuate is probably a bit of a demoralization."

There was no denying that what Liu Zheng said was reasonable. The whole scene fell into a brief silence. Just when Zhao Pan was about to say something more, Zhou Yi, who had been sitting next to him silently, raised his hand.

, indicating that you have something to say.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Pan raised his hand, and Zhou Yi, who had received permission, immediately said, "I agree with General Zhao Pan's strategy. This is not a matter of pessimism or not. After the people of Tiebi City retreated, they no longer have any worries."

This is a good thing for us. As for the issue of affecting the morale of the soldiers, we said that the fighting will become more intense in the future. In order to avoid affecting the people in the city, we let them temporarily evacuate. After all, this is for the people.

For the sake of our safety, I believe that both the soldiers and the people of Iron Wall City can accept this."

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Zhao Pan's eyes flashed with surprise, because he thought of the two together, so he directly responded, "I thought so too."

"Well, since you have already decided, I have no objection." After all, we have been old partners for many years. Liu Zheng has always trusted Zhao Pan's judgment in the arrangement of some tactics and strategies, and just now, he was just acting as usual.

I just expressed my thoughts and opinions.

As the city lord of Iron Wall City, Zhou Tao has no objections to the current situation, "I don't know much about war, so I'll just follow the wishes of the generals."

"Well, the evacuation of the people of Iron Wall City this time will have to go to City Lord Zhou." As he spoke, Zhao Pan raised his hand to Zhou Tao who was sitting beside him.

"It's our responsibilities. We've known each other for so many years. General, there's no need to be so polite." After saying this, Zhou Tao stood up directly, "I'm afraid there are a lot of things to do during this evacuation, so I'm going to take the first step."

"Well, I will deploy some people from the army to help you maintain order to avoid chaos when there are too many people." As they spoke, Liu Zheng and Zhou Yi also stood up one after another.

After the two parties reached a consensus, the news was notified and it was said that it had no impact at all. It must be false. However, Zhao Pan and Liu Zheng had been the generals guarding the city for so many years in Iron Wall City, and they were undoubtedly deeply affected by it.

With the trust and love of the people of Iron Wall City, this move was quickly understood by the people, and everyone showed extraordinary cooperation. Before dark, the people of the city were already ready to go, escorted by several groups of soldiers.

Next, start evacuating from the gate on the other side of Iron Wall City...
