How can we fight this battle? When we saw the city in the distance, it was instantly engulfed in flames. The burning soldiers screamed and fell off the city wall, falling to the ground and turning into a pile of burning charcoal. Luman wailed in his heart.
He can fight the most powerful enemies, and even face ten times the enemy force without flinching, but these monsters in front of him have completely destroyed the courage of his troops.
The army that had lost its courage was no different from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Chaos had begun, and he could no longer prevent the soldiers from rout.
The distance that a bow and arrow can be thrown can sometimes be as high as two hundred meters, but the effective shooting height of a bow and arrow will never exceed 100 meters.
With such a short distance, it was impossible to stop or interfere with those dragon knights from dropping bombs. In the following time, ten dragon knights took turns attacking the city wall, burning the ballistas on the top of the city into charcoal.
The archer troops that were still fighting desperately finally collapsed. They retreated from the top of the city and began to rush into the city.
In fact, the spearmen who were holding the battle behind were also retreating. After these soldiers saw that the city was destroyed and occupied by monsters, they began to retreat backwards at all costs.
A large number of soldiers crowded at the city gate. They pushed and cursed each other in order to retreat first and escape to a safer rear.
"No retreat! No retreat!" Luman waved his long sword and stood guard at the stairs of a city wall, driving the frightened soldiers back to the top of the city wall.
But he was desperately supervising the battle at one stairway, but no one was guarding the other stairway. The commanders of the archers were either taking the lead in escaping, or they had been burned to death.
There were very few soldiers left on the city wall, and no one was willing to risk their lives on the city wall that was already full of smoke and flames.
"It's over..." A sad thought came to Lu Man's heart. He knew that he would not be able to complete the order this time.
The city of Soth cannot be defended anymore, and all the food and supplies that arrived in advance will be taken away by the enemy. And the troops that arrived here in advance are almost all finished.
However, who can be blamed for this? Luhmann believed that he had not made any mistakes. The current result was entirely due to the enemy being too powerful.
Even if it were another general, facing such an opponent, he would have no choice but to watch helplessly as the opponent wreaks havoc above his head.
"Sir! Your Majesty!" A scout stumbled aside several spearmen who were panicking and knelt in front of Lu Man in a panic: "Zuo Ying... The Zuo Ying was attacked by the enemy! The opponent fell from the sky, riding a monster...
Our army is defeated! Master Jack has been killed!"
"Zuoying... there are more than 3,000 people... it's over in just a short time?" Lu Man's body shook, and his whole body felt like it was spinning.
Only then did he remember that the monsters in the sky that had been attacking him were actually only a small part of the flying monsters. It seemed that after the attack started, the other party divided their forces to attack other camps.
"Right battalion...where is right battalion? Hurry! Bring people to reinforce right battalion!" Luman grabbed an officer with a dark face and ordered anxiously: "We can't let right battalion collapse again! Bring people there.
Reinforcements! Go quickly!"
"Don't stop me! Where are the soldiers who can obey orders? They've all run away! They've all run away!" The officer smiled bitterly and pushed Luman's arm away with his hand, without even a trace of the respect he had in the past: "Spray fire.
Monsters are everywhere! We’re done! We’re done! Hahaha!”
Obviously, the officer could not stand the stimulation in front of him and had become a little crazy. Luman did not bother to pursue the officer because another scout brought him even more shocking news.
A ground force raided the right camp, and the entire right camp collapsed. However, the losses were not significant. The 3,000 people basically retreated, but their camp was lost.
"You only lost more than 100 people, and you collapsed?" Lu Man stared at the scout who came to deliver the news in disbelief, and asked sternly.
The scout glanced at the monster that was spitting fire in the sky, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and replied: "Sir, sir... the other party has a weird weapon that can kill people from a distance..."
He paused, suppressed his fear, and continued: "Also, and also, they also have a steel monster that can easily break open the gate of the camp, is invulnerable, and makes a scary roar..."
Of course he didn't know that there was a weapon called a tank, and he certainly didn't know that the weapon called a tank could not be dealt with by bows, arrows and spears.
"It's a monster again! Why is it a monster again?" Luman gritted his teeth with hatred and kicked the scout who was kneeling on the ground.
If he had heard the monster's statement before, he would have dismissed it - but now, with the monster above his head spitting flames, he could not refute such a ridiculous statement.
While he was listening to the scouts sent by the two camps on the left and right to deliver messages, the soldiers in Soth City had given up resistance and focused on escaping.
Luman had no way to stop the soldiers, so he could only retreat towards the stable with some of his followers.
Whether fighting or retreating, it is obvious that having war horses can make you move faster. Luman knew that there were 3,000 heavily armored cavalry behind his city. With these cavalry, he could organize a counterattack and even turn defeat into victory.
Therefore, he hoped to leave the city as soon as possible, join the cavalry troops, and then stabilize his position.
As a result, when he arrived at the stables, he found that the usually sturdy horses were trembling and cowering one by one, and they were unable to use them.
We can't blame these war horses, because it is indeed difficult to find war horses that have the courage to cheer up amidst the dragon's roar.
"Let's go! Get out of here! Quick!" Luman made a decisive decision and gave up on these expensive horses, carrying a long sword and got into a small alley.
He didn't want to mix with the crowd and the broken troops, because that would make him an easy target for the opponent's attack. The crowd was mixed together, blocking each other, and the retreat speed was slower.
The city of Soth was in chaos, and the last ballista on the top of the city was burning in the dragon's flames, eventually turning into a pile of wreckage.
Ildo, who had already achieved victory, had no intention of pursuing him. He drove Yalong and lay on a section of the city, overlooking the city filled with smoke, with a satisfied smile on his face.
