When it came to the female slaves, a slight fear appeared on the face of the commander, who had always been calm and calm.
He took a deep breath and then continued to describe the situation.
After the female demon appeared, the ghosts of those tribal warriors became very excited and their offensive became more fierce.
What made the defenders collapse the most was the siege team composed of eight tribal warriors brought by the female demon.
These eight tribal warriors are stronger than other ghosts. They are carrying a huge skeleton, which is at least eight meters long and looks like the spine of some ancient giant beast.
The tribal warriors at the front moved out of the way, and the siege team carried the skeleton to the city wall and began to hit the city wall with the tip of the skeleton.
Because the huge skeletons completely blocked their bodies, no matter whether the defenders used bows, arrows or logs, they could not be harmed.
The violent impact caused the city wall to begin to tremble, and the city wall made of rammed earth might collapse at any time.
Realizing that the situation was not good, the officer who defended the city quickly ordered his men to bring in the hot oil that had just been heated. As long as the hot oil was poured down and a fire was lit, it would be useless even if it was blocked by the skeleton of a giant beast.
But just when many soldiers were carrying the hot oil onto the battlements and preparing to pour it down, the female demon who had already walked to the city gate suddenly raised her head, and her cold eyes were like sharp arrows that made every soldier guarding the city...
They all felt a chill in their hearts.
"Quick! Pour the hot oil!"
The officer guarding the city realized something was wrong and quickly urged the soldiers to pour oil.
But before he finished speaking, the female demon in front of the city gate suddenly opened her mouth to an incredible extent, and then let out a shrill wail.
The huge wailing sound caused the entire canyon and the earth to tremble. The city wall that had been cracked by the skeleton was also shaken to pieces. The soldiers who were preparing to pour oil and the hot oil cans fell together with the collapsed city wall.
The tribal warriors under the city wall were also buried.
"Ugh!"
The female scourge waved her hand and uttered a shout. As if receiving an order, all the tribal warriors rushed towards the gap created by the collapse of the city wall with weapons raised.
When the city wall fell, the soldiers who had been well prepared in the city immediately fought, and the two sides started an extremely fierce fight at the gap.
Although the tribal warriors were extremely fierce and powerful, since the gap was only a few meters wide, they could only rush in at most a dozen at a time, and they were unable to break through the city's defenses for a while.
However, their continuous attacks still caused a large number of casualties to the soldiers defending the city. The battle continued until the end. Thousands of tribal warriors were killed under the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city also paid a heavy price.
At this time, only the female slaves and nearly a hundred tribal warriors were left outside the city, and the captain who led the soldiers to resist inside the city was also furious.
In order to avenge those fallen compatriots, he directly led hundreds of surviving soldiers to rush out of the city and surrounded the female slaves and tribal warriors.
Although they had a huge advantage in terms of numbers, the strength of the female slaves far exceeded the captain's expectations. After a fight, the captain unfortunately died in battle, and almost all the soldiers he brought were killed.
However, their sacrifice also gave an opportunity to another captain in the city.
This captain was good at bows and arrows. He took the opportunity to blind the female slave with an arrow, and then led his men to swarm forward, finally completely wiping out the female slave and the remaining tribal warriors.
Although the city was defended, Loulan City lost a thousand-man captain and nearly half of its soldiers were killed in this battle. It can be said that the losses were heavy.
Although the surviving captain responded passively at first, because he shot the female marauder to death and there was only one captain left in Loulan City, his status rose with the tide, and even the prefect had to give him three cents.
And this captain was the superior of the adjutant. As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and looking at the adjutant's character, you can tell that he is not that good either.
Although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Mo Shouchen could feel the brutality of the city defense battle just by listening to the description of the ten captains.
The soldiers of the entire Loulan City have paid such a heavy price in fighting the ancient ghosts. Now if you want to rely on a dozen people here to fight against the ancient ghosts, it is simply a mantis trying to fight the chariot, and you will definitely die.
Seeing Mo Shouchen's worry, the captain comforted him: "Don't worry, ancient ghosts can't be summoned casually. It will take at least three days before Rakshasa City launches its second attack, so we are safe tonight."
, rest, it’s time for the next night watch.”
The captain was right. Nothing happened on the first night, and the second day was uneventful. However, at night, the atmosphere gradually became tense.
The captain gathered everyone together and said: "The person in charge of the night watch tonight must be very alert. If there is any disturbance, he must report it to me immediately."
"Will we encounter enemies tonight?" Yan Hu Yi asked nervously.
The captain shook his head and said: "I'm not sure either. Our mission is to stay until dawn. If the enemy doesn't show up after dawn, we can go back safely."
Hearing what the captain said, everyone began to pray silently in their hearts, hoping that the enemy would not appear tonight.
Although they were taking turns to keep vigil, no one could sleep. They suffered like this all night. When the light gradually appeared on the sky above the canyon, everyone looked at the captain with expectation.
The captain raised his head and glanced at the slightly bright sky, and then said: "Take some time to clean up, let's go back to the city."
Everyone was relieved to hear that they could go back, but just as they were packing up the camp and preparing to return, the captain's expression suddenly became serious.
At this time, a soldier also noticed something strange. He lay down and put his ear to the ground. After listening for a few seconds, he raised his head and reported to the Shifu Changhui: "A team is approaching, and it is about half a stick of incense away from here."
Time, do you want to fight it?"
The captain glanced at the other end of the canyon, and then said decisively: "Abandon all belongings and retreat immediately."
After saying that, he was about to take everyone to lead the horses, but then a soldier suddenly said: "Huh? Why is there one person missing?"
Everyone quickly checked each other and found that the young man was Qiao Chengan. But before they started looking, they saw a horse walking out of the herd, and the person riding the horse was Qiao Chengan.
Qiao Chengan looked back at everyone with a joking smile on his face. The tenth captain asked loudly and gloomily: "What are you going to do?"
Qiao Chengan smiled coldly and said, "Sorry, someone asked me to give you a ride!"
After speaking, he shook the reins and shouted "drive", and the horse immediately ran towards Loulan City.
At the same time, he threw something the size of a fist toward the horses.
"No! Stop him quickly!" Captain Ten and Mo Shouchen shouted at the same time.
But it was too late. Before they could rush forward, there was a loud noise among the horses. The frightened horses immediately scattered and fled, and there was no time to catch them back.
"brute!"
Looking at Qiao Cheng'an who had already run away, the captain angrily punched the cliff of the canyon with his fist.
Although the enemies from Rakshasa City are still some distance away from here, without their horses, they will never be able to outrun the tireless ancient ghosts...
