Chapter 93: Rescuing the Hostages (Part 2)
Seeing these city defense soldiers breaking into the camp with ferocious looks, and the faint shouts of killing coming from outside, all the hostages detained in the military camp had an unpleasant premonition.
The gray old man was about to return to his tent with his little grandson who came out to watch the fun.
But as soon as they took a few steps, they were overtaken by a city defense soldier. He raised his knife and hacked the group of grandparents to death, and then threw the torch in his hand into the tent nearest to him.
After the tent was set on fire, the old, weak, women and children who originally lived inside immediately rushed out screaming.
Several city defense soldiers were guarding the door, holding sharp spears. Every time these old and weak women and children came out, they would stab each one to death with one spear.
There were also some city defense soldiers who set fires everywhere, causing continuous fires to quickly break out in the camp. Many old and weak people who had no time to escape from the tents were burned alive inside.
"Stop it!" With a loud shout, a group of players, with almost everyone injured, rushed into the camp, and then the leader of the group killed a player who wanted to stop them with a javelin.
City defense soldiers.
Although these players kept shouting 'stop', most of the city defense troops turned a deaf ear to it and were still concentrating on massacring the old and weak in the camp. Only a small group of silverback wolves rushed over, ready to deal with it.
This small group of wounded enemy soldiers.
Before the two sides came into contact, the players threw javelins or throwing weapons such as throwing axes at the silver-backed wolves. The silver-backed wolves were not to be outdone, and kept spitting out air bullets from their mouths.
.
So before they entered into hand-to-hand combat, teammates from both sides had already started to be shot and fell to the ground one after another. However, in the end, the players who were all wearing steel plate armor had the advantage, unless they were attacked by several silverback wolves.
, otherwise it would be difficult for one or two air cannons to kill them all at once.
As long as these players still have breath, they will continue to charge with their scarred bodies, and will not fall until their blood is exhausted.
As the two sides collided fiercely and started hand-to-hand combat, the battle became more bloody and cruel. Every second, soldiers from both sides would fall. This shocked the silver-backed wolves. They felt that the humans on the opposite side were inferior to them.
They are more like wild beasts, fighting with a life-threatening madness.
Although those players fought hard one by one, because the silverback wolves were more numerous and more powerful, the battle situation gradually developed in a direction that was not conducive to these players.
At this moment, with a loud bang, a large hole was punched out of a wall of the camp, and a giant wolf more than ten meters long flew out of the large hole and landed on the ground.
Later, Xiaoqing, who was also stained with a lot of blood, slowly walked out of the big hole holding a long sword.
Seeing that those players were in a tough fight, Xiaoqing immediately came to help.
She took a deep breath, then opened her mouth and roared, and what came out of her mouth was an extremely loud dragon roar.
Those enemy troops who were closer were immediately shaken by the sound of the dragon's roar, causing their limbs to bleed and fall to the ground. Those who were further away were also suppressed by the dragon's power contained in the dragon's roar, making their limbs tremble.
So weak that he can't even exert half of his combat power.
Taking this opportunity, more players broke through the enemy's blockade, rushed into the camp, and began to clean up the city defense troops who were killing people and setting fires in the camp, and rescued the hostages.
"Damn it! These guys have killed so many hostages. Now the mission evaluation will definitely be lowered a lot!" Several players just rushed into the camp and saw the corpses everywhere, and they couldn't help shouting angrily.
.
When the massacred hostages saw that someone finally came to rescue them, they all cried with joy. They felt as if they had grasped a life-saving straw. They did not need to greet the players and gathered towards them one after another.
Some of them even picked up the weapons and equipment left on the ground and said they wanted to join the battle and help these players fight out together.
Not to mention, among these hostages, there are indeed some who have some strength. Number 27 saw with his own eyes a young man who looked to be only twelve or thirteen years old, holding a long-handled sword weighing several dozen kilograms.
, it is as easy as holding a branch, and dancing the sword like a windmill. Ordinary city defense soldiers have no enemy at all. Judging from the large green snake scales on their arms, it is obvious that
He is the second generation of a snake-man family member. After all, it is impossible for the first generation to have such serious physical changes at such a young age.
But even if these teenagers are not weak in combat, No. 27 does not dare to let them really fight with the players. After all, these teenagers have such strength at such a young age, they will definitely be stronger when they grow up! Such potential
He didn't dare to risk the seeds. After all, if he lost just one of them, his lord would be distressed!
After all the hostages who were still alive were gathered, No. 27 and they discovered that the original more than 60,000 hostages had now suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and now only about 10,000 giant pythons were left.
The young snakes and more than 30,000 snakes are old and weak.
It has to be said that the combat effectiveness of those city defense troops was not very good, but they were really efficient at killing the old and the weak. If they had come a little later, maybe all the old and the weak would have been killed.
Although the city defense troops were finally killed by the players, the defenders from other places in the city are also coming here for reinforcements in a steady stream. Once these enemies are entangled again, the hostages they rescued will be
Maybe we will have to suffer more than half of the casualties before we can escape.
So in order to avoid this situation, number 27 immediately called out to all players and escorted the shocked hostages to quickly retreat towards the west city gate.
"Catch them, don't let them escape!"
Although the players protected the old and weak and retreated immediately, because the speed of the old and weak was really unable to compare with those of the stronger enemy troops, they were soon overtaken by several enemy troops, shouting and shouting.
Amidst the sound, these enemy troops circled in front of the players, trying to stop the players and the rescued hostages.
"Come up with me and charge forward!" No. 27 looked at an enemy army blocking the front, pulled out the two-handed sword behind his back, shouted and was the first to charge forward.
Other players followed closely and launched a charge.
After a fierce fight, the intercepting enemy forces were finally dealt with by the players as quickly as possible. Xiaoqing also killed three more innate masters who tried to get close to intercept.
"Quick! Protect them out of the city, and we will cut off your rear!"
"Got it, man, take care!"
Under the watchful eyes of the old and weak, most of the players protected the hostages and continued to move forward. However, there were more than a hundred players who were seriously injured, but they chose to stay behind. Looking at the broken hands and feet, they still held on.
Players who were blocking the road and preparing to cut off the rear of the large army were all moved. After all, in their eyes, they were just a group of burdens with little combat effectiveness. How could ordinary people send troops?
, risking huge risks to rescue them!
But the human lord sent people to rescue them, and so many elite soldiers were lost as a result. Although these soldiers did not look very strong, they had never seen such a firm will to fight before.
Yes, I don’t know how much manpower and material resources it takes to cultivate such elite dead soldiers. Is it really worth losing so much for them this time?
After that, the players encountered several more interceptions on the road. In order to buy time and prevent more pursuers from catching up, No. 27 even chose to send a small force to entangle the enemy, and then lead a large force to bypass it.
Strategies for moving forward afterward.
Although this approach speeds up the march of the troops, those players who stay to entangle the enemy are almost certain to die. This makes the old and weak people who are rescued sigh in their hearts. Not only are the soldiers of this army brave, they are not afraid of death.
, this commander is also extremely ruthless. He will do whatever it takes to complete his mission, and he has absolutely no regard for the lives of the soldiers under his command!
After finally escaping from Tanlang City, No. 27 did some statistics and found that more than half of the 3,000 soldiers had been casualties, and now only about 1,000 were left.
On the other hand, the rescued hostages were well protected along the way, and many players even used their bodies to block arrows for them. Therefore, the casualties on the road were not large. There were only more than 200 hangings, and the others were safely evacuated.
Greedy Wolf City.
After escaping from Tanlang City, it was not over yet. After all, this place was still within the Tanlang Empire and was not safe. So after a little repair, No. 27 took the rescued old and weak people with them.
Continue on the road.
In the previous battle, he was hit with an ax on his left shoulder, and his shoulder armor was chopped into pieces. There was a huge wound on his shoulder, which was only hastily bandaged. Soon after he got back on the road, the wound seemed
Then it cracked open again, and strands of blood continued to seep out from under the bandage. This made No. 27 very troubled, because the smell of blood might attract the pursuers.
But maybe it was because they escaped too fast, or because they made too much noise in Tanlang City yesterday, anyway, the pursuers never showed up, and when daybreak, the troops who came to meet them also showed up.
The air force responsible for picking up No. 27 and the others was a total of fifty transport airships and two combat airships.
Those transport airships are much smaller than combat airships. One can only transport twenty or thirty people at most. However, the two combat airships can carry more than five hundred people each while minimizing the load.
people.
Therefore, these airships can transport more than 2,000 people at a time, and only need more than 20 trips to transport all the old and weak people who have been rescued.
As for the first batch of people to be transported away, No. 27 selected those who were injured in the previous breakout battle, as well as those with the weakest constitution. If these people continue to follow the team, they will only slow down the marching speed of the army.
, to increase the probability of the large army being overtaken by the pursuers, it would be better to transport them all away as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Greedy Wolf King does not have any air troops under his command, otherwise, Guo Dafu would not be able to use these airships to transport people.
Watching the first batch of rescued hostages board the airship, No. 27 couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. So far, it seemed that their plan was going smoothly, but the casualties of those players participating in the mission were a bit higher.
