Chapter 145
Facing the dense and sharp spear, even the kobold who showed extraordinary courage the moment before, he couldn't help but feel panic.
The retreat of the dog-headed troops inevitably puts some pressure on Duoduo, but facing such a spear-armed phalanx, it is indeed difficult to resist without the support of the shield-holding troops.
The current situation is not a pity for the elite troops under his command. When Duoduo thought of this, he directly dispatched a number of werewolf soldiers to resist the advancement of Qin Yi's large army on this side. However, at this moment, Li Qing, who had been staring at the movements on this side, was also waiting for an opportunity to move.
"The whole army raids!"
With a command, the long-silent military formation completely revealed their ferocious fangs at this moment. Qin Yi, who had already rested enough, waved his long sword in his hand and led his troops to break through again!
In front of Qin Yi, a few werewolf warriors were not afraid at all. With the waving of the long sword, the three werewolf warriors who tried to block his way were killed and injured in just one encounter. Duoduo, who was watching behind, leaped his eyes and jumped.
"Richard, stop that human!!"
Richard, who received the order, decisively waved his short sword and rushed forward again. However, Li Qing, who had been guarding against the opponent, would not let this werewolf get in the way?
"Stop him!"
With the same order, more than twenty spears attacked Richard at the same time. Faced with such a battle, no matter how powerful the general was, he had to take two steps back. Richard was of course no exception. However, it would be difficult to attack again after retreating. These spear soldiers were obviously kept by Li Qing.
After a round of rushing, as the two troops reunited, the entire formation changed again, using Qin Yi as the sharp knife, and broke through with all his might in one direction. Several targeted formation transformations and tacit cooperation between the soldiers made them tear a gap in the encirclement net of the orc army and rushed out.
"Chasing, chase me!"
At this moment, Duoduo's face was undoubtedly extremely difficult to see. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Qin Yi, who had successfully broken through, turned his head and looked at the orc army that was chasing them. The other party was chasing them very tightly, and more soldiers in the rear died. Someone had to stay and get time for the others to retreat.
As soon as he thought of this, Qin Yi immediately slowed down and retreated to Li Qing's side.
"Old Li!"
"No!"
Li Qing's face turned pale and said these two words. Even if he didn't listen, he knew what Qin Yi wanted to say.
"You should understand this situation better than me. Someone must stay and cut off the rear, otherwise everyone will die!"
Speaking of this, Qin Yi said in a slow tone: "You, there are still Qian Da and the others, there is only one way to die if you stay, and I..."
"You stay is a dead end!"
Li Qing, who has always been calm, had obvious out of control of his emotions at this moment. Qin Yi's words, which were interrupted twice in a short period of time.
"But at least I can get more time!" Qin Yi replied without showing any weakness.
"And don't forget that before dark, the people of Tongcheng had just evacuated!"
One sentence directly hit Li Qing's weakness, making his face pale, and he couldn't say a word at all. With such a large-scale movement, even if he was rushing overnight, the people of Tongcheng would definitely not go much far at this time. Once they were caught up by these monsters, the fate could be imagined.

"Run forward, it's the city gate. What should I do after that? I don't need to say more, right?"
While talking, the gate on the other end of the Tongcheng City was already in front of them. In order to facilitate the evacuation, even after nightfall, the gate did not descend, which saved them trouble.
With this idea, Li Qing turned around and confirmed the location of the pursuers. Relying on his familiarity with the terrain of Tongcheng, he also left a distance, but it was a dream to get rid of it completely.
"Qin Yi..."
"Go away!"
While speaking, Qin Yi reached out and snatched Li Qingzhong's torch and pushed the person out of the city gate. Then he turned around and didn't want to see the expression of his old brother.
Qin Yi was in a daze for a moment. When he came to his senses, he suddenly found dozens of figures standing beside him. Suddenly, tears in the tip of his nose almost broke down.
"What's wrong with you guys? Why don't you retreat with the main force?
"Brothers are you afraid that you can't stand it alone, so stay here to join in the fun."
"Fuck! I beat them one hundred like playing!"
Qin Yi laughed and scolded directly when he heard this, and his voice was uncontrollably hoarse. These ones were really his old brothers, the first batch of soldiers under his command. After so many years of war, those who died and retired were retired. Now there are only a few who are still following him, and each of them can be named.
As he spoke, accompanied by a burst of laughter, the orc army that was chasing from a distance surrounded them to death at the city gate.
A few hours ago, Daxia City.
After leaving Tongcheng, the messenger rushed to the dock all the way, and then urgently recruited a ship, went down the water, and finally delivered the battle report from the front line to Xia Qi as quickly as possible.
After quickly reading the battle report sent back from the front line, Xia Qi's mental state became more tense than before. Duoduo turned out to be a special civilization!
He really never expected this. He encountered an invader of a special civilization for the first time. He couldn't even bother to be nervous. The battle report mentioned the monster with long nose and big ears, huge fangs, but with two legs walking upright. With limited information, Xia Qi thought of the first orc!
Orcs with strong orcs often have their individual combat power far exceeding that of human soldiers. However, it is a strategic war game after all. Considering balance, a military branch will definitely have weaknesses under the premise of having strengths, and orcs are no exception.
As for the specific situation, Xia Qi was not clear yet, and he could not make a conclusion based on speculation alone, but no matter what, the emergence of this orc civilization alone was enough to make him feel at ease.
After rubbing his eyebrows vigorously, Xia Qi asked, "Have the convoy transporting food and grass and military equipment set off?"
"Just set out an hour ago, Your Majesty."
Xia Qi nodded and estimated the time in his mind. The convoy carrying heavy weapons and food such as Baniu Crossbow was slowly advancing. It would take at least four to five days to reach the city closest to Tongcheng.
But Slan and Krey are different. Both of them are cavalry teams, and they have always been light chariots and arrived earlier. But there is no way. Now they can't catch up, because they will only set off earlier.

The order Xia Qi gave to the two was to act according to the opportunity, and I just hope that the two of them would not be too reckless and would give it to them in vain.
As his thoughts flew, Xia Qi quickly wrote two warrants again and handed them to the two guards.
"You set out immediately, whip the white wolf and the bear with a quick horse. As for you, go to Tianxiong Pass and order the bear to return to Daxia City quickly!"
"promise!"
Immediately, the two guards rushed to different destinations with their own men.
Tianxiong Pass has not been built yet, but after all, his family is here. Therefore, Baoxiong asked Xia Qi to go to Tianxiong Pass a long time ago and became the guardian general there.
But now in trouble in Daxia, Xia Qi had to call it again.
When Xia Qi thought of Duoduo, he couldn't help but grit his teeth. This guy didn't know what he was crazy about. Could it be that he dug his family's ancestral grave? He actually launched a full-scale war on himself.
"Order to ask the Ordnance Department to stop all the work at hand and make all consumables such as arrows, weapons and armor, heavy crossbows and arrows."
One after another, the orders were issued from Xia Qi, and the war was doomed to make this night unable to calm down.
The night was getting darker and I processed several work reports. After being tired for a long time, Xia Qi, who had finally fallen asleep, was still not sleeping soundly. Any subtle movement would wake him up instantly!
“Hu—Hu—”
The heavy breathing sound was a little quick. He had a nightmare just now, dreaming that the bronze city was captured by the orc army.
The day is thoughtful and the night is dreaming. This only shows that he is really worried about the situation in Tongcheng. He rubbed his temples hard to calm himself down. However, at this moment, a slightly rapid footstep sounded outside his bedroom, and not long after, the knock on the door rang out.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
"What's the matter?" Xia Qi asked while quickly putting on himself.
"Your Majesty, the urgent report sent by the front line overnight!"
Hearing this, Xia Qi's heart suddenly stumbled, and then he quickly said, "Take it in!"
While speaking, Xia Qi quickly lit up the oil lamp in the room, and then asked while receiving the urgent report: "What time is it now?"
In response to this, the guard guarding outside the door quickly confirmed the missing piece outside, and then replied: "Report to your Majesty, it's six o'clock in the morning."
Xia Qi glanced out the window. The dim sky didn't look like six o'clock. The bad weather made his mood feel even heavier.
His eyes quickly focused on the urgent report in his hand, and then Xia Qi's face changed suddenly. The orc army attacked Tongcheng at night. More than half of the troops guarding Tongcheng were injured and killed. Li Qing was now taking the remaining troops and the people of Tongcheng to retreat to Xicheng, while Qin Yi stayed in the city and cut off the rear.
"Qin Yi, leave behind the rear..."
Seeing this, Xia Qi's whole heart instantly sank into the bottom of the valley, took a breath. After forcibly calming down his emotions, he only heard him speak in a deep voice, "Send the order and prepare to go to the battle!"
Originally, he was going to wait until the bear came and set off together, but now it seems that it is not possible.
