Chapter 1,279 Great Victory(1/2)
"kill!"
After the 20,000 people were evacuated, a wave of cries of killing erupted in the city.
You can see a Great Wall of Fire starting to shine in the center of Beitie City.
This flame spread from the left city wall to the right city wall, stretching for several miles. It was particularly spectacular when standing on the city wall.
And those were the soldiers and horses that had been ambushed by Beitie City before. At this time, they got the signal and these soldiers and horses began to counterattack, encircling and suppressing the soldiers of the Storm Legion who fell into the city.
…
"what happened?"
The shouts of killing all day long inside the city can be heard just as loudly outside the city.
Just like several other legions of gods who were tricked by Nalant.
Faced with the sudden closing of the city gate and the fierce counterattack by the defending soldiers, both the gods and the legion captains were confused.
Wasn’t everything good before planning?
Everything is developing according to normal steps. If we only need to wait for another half hour, I'm afraid today's victory will be decided.
"Lord God, it's not good!"
At this moment, the hurried messengers at the front finally returned out of breath.
"Lord God, the enemy suddenly rushed out of 20,000 elite soldiers who had been waiting in ambush, and directly blocked the front wall."
"In addition, there seems to be a large number of enemy troops ambushed in the city. They have begun to counterattack at this time and have surrounded our legion warriors who entered the city before!"
The messenger immediately reported the situation in the city.
"What? Not only did they ambush elite soldiers and block the city gate, but they also organized a counterattack to surround our legion warriors?"
"This... this is impossible. We are attacking suddenly. How can the enemy organize a counterattack?"
After hearing the report from the soldiers, the God of Storms had not spoken yet, but the commanders and captains were the first to express their shock.
Because according to normal circumstances, the enemy should be caught off guard, and then be defeated by the Storm Legion without being able to organize an effective counterattack, and then there will be a one-sided massacre.
But in this situation, it seems like they have been plotted by the enemy.
"Let the army begin to attack the city immediately, and cooperate with the soldiers in the city to capture Beitie City!"
Although they were shocked, at this time the Storm Legion could only choose the most helpless way to make amends, just like Nuuk City and Gray Rock City did.
That is to immediately send a large army to attack the city frontally to relieve the pressure on the soldiers trapped in the city.
He even thought about the possibility of directly breaking through the city wall by relying on the numerical advantage.
Of course, it turns out that this choice is useless.
Because since the city was prepared, how could it not have been expected.
Especially today, Na Lante is personally in charge.
In this way, the God of Storms and others have not received any news about Nuk City and Gray Rock City, so they have nothing to draw lessons from.
They were destined to lose another group of legionnaires under the city wall.
"Commander Bei Tiecheng, people from outside the city are coming."
"Let your men on the wall defend the city as you did before, and do so now. The 300,000 soldiers of the Storm Legion in the city are enough to deal with them!"
Nalant immediately saw the movements of the Storm Legion outside the city, and immediately spoke to the commander of Beitie City.
"good!"
At this time, the commander of Beitecheng was already faintly excited.
Because, with the current situation, he has already seen that the balance of victory is really tilting towards them.
Especially at this time, the Storm Legion soldiers on the central street below the city were as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
Previously, these soldiers of the Storm Legion set fire to block the stairs of the city wall, trying to prevent everyone on the wall from going down.
But now it was the turn of the Storm Legion soldiers whose retreat was blocked to start attacking from the stairs.
Of course, there were already rolling logs waiting for them on the stairs.
There was no need to engage in close combat. Once enough Storm Legion soldiers climbed up the stairs, several rolling logs were thrown down directly.
Coupled with the longbowmen's shooting, these Storm Legion soldiers could only be buried at the entrance of the stairs in waves.
Soon, the Storm Legion outside the city also launched a charge and began to officially attack the city.
However, there are a hundred thousand soldiers on the front wall.
Coupled with the cover of the high wall, even if there were two or three times more enemies, there was no way they could really capture the city wall.
Time passed by, and the battle outside the city was still stalemate, but the battle inside the city had begun to end.
As nearly half an hour passed, the Storm Legion in the city began to retreat step by step due to a sharp drop in morale.
But when there was no way to retreat, they could only crowd in various street corners and wait for the soldiers in the city to slowly encircle and annihilate them.
As for counterattack, that is absolutely impossible.
Without being familiar with the environment inside the city, and without the number of soldiers in the city, it was pretty good that they could hold on for so long.
The defenders in the city climbed to the commanding heights early and continued to fire arrows at them.
When the first ray of red clouds at dawn shone on Beitie City, the war finally came to an end.
The Storm Legion soldiers in the city have basically been wiped out. At this time, the defenders in the city have begun to search everywhere for fish that have slipped through the net.
As for the outside of the city, after several hours of continuous siege, they could only abandon the bodies of tens of thousands of people and withdraw their troops again.
"We are victorious!"
"Yes, we won, hahaha!"
As everything inside and outside the city fell into silence, there were no more shouts of killing, and no one knew who started it.
After the announcement of our victory, more shouts came out.
Later, more soldiers and captains joined the cheering crowd, and the entire Beitie City burst into cheers.
"Your Excellency Nalant, thank you for helping us last night. Without you..."
At this time, the commander of Beitecheng thought of Nalant. He also wanted to thank Nalant for his help, so he turned towards Nalant and prepared to say words of gratitude.
But when he turned around, Nalant was nowhere to be seen, and his words of thanks came to an abrupt end.
"Nalant is gone?!" Commander Beitecheng looked at his subordinates.
"Yes, Lord Commander, just when we won the victory, Nalant disappeared in the blink of an eye!" The subordinates also looked confused.
Because they were more surprised than the commander of Beitie City when they saw Nalant teleport with their own eyes.
"He was still there when we didn't win just now. But when we won, he left. Your Excellency Nalant is really a being worthy of admiration."
For a moment, Commander Bei Tiecheng murmured.
The main reason is that today's results are really too great.
Not only was it revenge for the previous killings outside the city, it was also revenge for the evil deeds done by the Storm Legion in the past few months.
Fortunately, I didn't trust Narant at the beginning and had doubts about him.
Commander Beitecheng felt deeply guilty.
…
"I have met the High Priest!"
In the Flame Temple, every time there is a great victory, the city guard commander must be personally summoned by the Flame High Priest. This is already a common practice.
And when the news from Beitecheng was delivered to the Holy City after dawn, the flame high priest immediately summoned the commander of Beitecheng.
"Well, get up, Commander Beitecheng, let me ask you, did you say in your report that all the credit for this victory lies with that Nalant?" Did the Flame High Priest nod expressionlessly, looking towards Commander Beitecheng?
Ask out loud.
"Yes, Your Excellency the High Priest, if it weren't for Nalant's arrival, we wouldn't have known the Storm Legion's plan..."
Immediately, the Beitecheng commander immediately told what happened, and he was different from the other commanders.
To be continued...
