Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 461 Barbara's Dilemma
Since Luo Ming borrowed a large number of elite troops from Yu Zitong, his journey in the second half of the journey has been much easier. With an army of [-] in hand, he is invincible along the way. After the canyon, the allied forces of the demon organization under Jia Long's command were defeated, and then they set foot on four territories in a row, with the military flag pointing directly at Huoteng City!
With a large army in hand, the originally difficult journey was much easier. It was conservatively estimated that it would take more than half a month to reach the goal of Huoteng City, so it was shortened a lot and could be reached earlier.

However, just a few days before they could reach Huoteng City, Luo Ming encountered a light cavalry force, and the leader was an old acquaintance: Red Devil.

Red Devil, the most famous soul guard around Barbara, is to Barbara what Jill is to Luo Ming.

Although the Red Devil's identity is the soul guard, he is well-known in Mary's camp, especially among the camp's elites. Since Luo Ming is also a member of this elite circle, he naturally knows the Red Devil, so when he sees him Even when he appeared with a light cavalry unit, he was somewhat dazed.

Shouldn't the Red Devils be attacking Huoteng City with Barbara now?

When Luo Ming left the Poison Rose Territory, he might not be very clear about why he traveled thousands of miles to Huoteng City, but don't forget that Mr. Pang sent three soul slaves to Luo Ming before the trip. His task is to record Luo Ming's achievements along the way, and also to convey Forbeck's new orders to Luo Ming when necessary.

So when Luo Ming successfully passed the Red Lotus Canyon, cleared the obstacles all the way, and confirmed that he could reach Huoteng City, Forbeck also told him the ultimate purpose of his trip, or the next strategic goal, through the mouth of soul slavery. Luo Ming.

His ultimate goal of this long journey is to support Babara who is attacking Huoteng City!
It was precisely because of the new order from Forbeck that Luo Ming was somewhat puzzled when he saw the Red Devil appearing here. Could it be that Barbara sent him to meet him?
With this kind of doubt, Luo Ming hurriedly greeted him, and he didn't dare to neglect the soul guards beside big devils like Barbara.

However, just when Luo Ming led Jill, Ming Yun and other guards and the big devil to the Red Devil, Luo Ming frowned at the other party's words!

"Master Luo Ming! You are here!"

Hearing these words, Luo Ming's heart skipped a beat!What is Ke Lai?This is obviously a tone that can only be used when you can't wait!
Could it be that……

Sure enough, before Luo Ming could ask, Hong Mo said anxiously:

"Master Luo Ming, Lord Babara is fighting hard on the front line, and the battle is at stake. Please come quickly with me!"

"what?!"

Hearing this, Luo Ming immediately took a deep breath, Barbara was in a hurry at the front line, the battle was in danger? !
How is this going? !Barbara is the top big devil!Not to mention strong strength, and being able to fight well, how could this happen?
However, this kind of situation happened, but it is not to blame Luo Ming if he did not know this kind of thing, because since he led the army out of the territory of the poisonous rose, he has been away all the way, and he doesn't know much about the battle outside, especially the fire. The battle in Tengcheng is even more unknown.

If Luo Ming wanted to know what happened when he fell to the ground, he had better go back to more than a month ago, when Barbara just started attacking Huoteng City.

Barbara launched an attack on the first day when she led the army to fight for the city, which shows how confident she is in this battle, and how sure she is, and the advantage of the war at the beginning was indeed on her side. side.

Although Barbara only brought [-] troops to attack Huoteng City this time, the size of the troops was not only nearly double that of Huoteng City's defenders, but she also carried a large number of siege weapons. Full of capital, and she really used these capitals to fight the devil.

In the early days of the war, Babara launched an offensive against Huoteng City almost every day. The longest time the two sides even fought continuously for two days and two nights. During this process, Huoteng City suffered huge losses, because Babara Bara brought all the siege weapons to the battlefield. Except for the siege towers and rush cars that appeared in the first battle, weapons such as ladders, catapults, and city-breaking crossbows appeared one by one, setting the devil on fire. It can be said that there is nothing wrong with Teng's fight.

As for the most thrilling one, Barbara even sent a full 2 troops to the battlefield. Dozens of ladders were all built on the top of the Huoteng city wall, and countless skeleton warriors climbed up the city wall and the Huoteng city defenders. An extremely fierce fight was launched, and at the same time, even the closed city gate was breached!

But I have to admit that Huoteng, the demon leader, did have a few tricks, because even in such a dangerous situation, the enemy had already climbed up the wall, and the city gate was smashed by the car, but he still hugged Huoteng City without being breached !
That stop was a classic and extremely tragic. After the high slope of the city gate, Huo Teng, the devil, went out in person and blocked the gate of the city alone. The three soul guards under his command didn't shake Huo Teng at all when they shot together, and they were forced back by Huo Teng in the end!
And after the first battle that was only one step away from taking Huoteng City, he really followed the old saying: At the end of a strong crossbow, you can't wear Lu Jin!

After this great battle that was about to capture Huoteng City, both Babara and Huoteng were seriously injured. The total number of troops lost by both sides in this battle even exceeded [-] people. It can be seen that at that time Since then, Barbara's offensive has had to weaken. There is no way, half of the [-] troops she brought have been defeated in the process. If the war starts, Barbara will bury himself in it without waiting for the high slope of Huoteng City.

Therefore, in the following time, Barbara's offensive had to slow down, from the original one-day or even continuous battle to three-day battle, and finally even five-day battle.

But as soon as her offensive slowed down, Huoteng would have a chance to breathe!
During this process, not only did he have time to repair the city wall and consolidate the defense facilities as much as possible, but he also got the long-awaited reinforcements! !
You must know that Barbara came from a long way from home this time. Although he led the army and was also a top-notch person, he did not receive any supplies; but Huoteng was different. It is his sphere of influence, his own back garden!
At the beginning of this war, Jia Long may not be able to mobilize troops to support him because of the sudden incident, but when the war is over, one month has passed, no matter how slow Jia Long's reaction is, he should still see results up!
Sure enough, when Babara and Huoteng were exhausted after a month of fighting, the support troops sent by Jia Long arrived!

If he wanted to support a war of this level, Jia Long would have to gather tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of troops, but in order to hurry up, he did not do so, but sent a small group of troops to support Huoteng City first. , In this way, the time for gathering will be reduced, and the speed will be much faster, so when the battle entered a stalemate, that is, after Barbara's offensive slowed down, one after another support troops came to Huoteng City!
The troops that came here were not many, some had more than 1000, some had more than 2000, and at most no more than 1. However, although these troops were not large in scale, they were large in number. Together, it is [-] people!
In this way, the morale of Huoteng's side was naturally boosted, which also made Huoteng launch a counterattack for the first time in this siege battle!Since then, the situation and momentum of the war have been completely reversed. Barbara, who was surrounded outside Huoteng City, had to turn on the defensive instead, while Huoteng, who had almost been breached before, led his troops out to attack every now and then.

And if this situation continues, Barbara will definitely retreat!

But fortunately, Forbeck's arrangement has also begun to bear fruit at this time!

In fact, Forbeck knew very well that it would be impossible to capture the cities of Huoteng and Fengmo with Babara and Tianzong alone, so he sent people like Luo Ming to support them from all directions. This move did not hide from Jia Long's eyes. Many of the demons who went to support were blocked, and many fell on the way, but there was always someone who could arrive, so soon after Huoteng got the support, Barbara Support is here too!
After hearing the news that the support was in place, Barbara was naturally overjoyed. What she lacks most now is troops, because although her side suffered a lot in previous battles, Barbara was very smart. She would rather let the troops wear down than lose the siege weapons, so once the support arrives and she has soldiers in her hands, it is still possible to capture Huoteng City!
However, when the support troops sent by Forbeck arrived in front of Barbara, Barbara's heart became cold...

The first support force that arrived was also led by a demon named Sike, who was honestly never heard of by Barbara, and this also proved Sike's strength and strength in Mary's camp in disguise. The status can only be regarded as average.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The troops brought by Cyke are less than 5000 people, of which skeleton warriors and skeleton archers account for more than half, and the rest are skeleton soldiers. There is not even a decent knight troop!
Seeing this level and scale of support, Barbara really didn't know what to say. The battle between her and Huoteng was a battle with a combined strength of 5000 to [-] troops! With [-] support, and they are all the most common skeleton soldiers, what is the use of this army?

But Barbara can't complain about Saike, because she knows that he also came all the way from her own territory, and it's good to be able to come here on such a dangerous road. She is asking for more, and it is Barbara herself I'm not sensible anymore.Moreover, the scale and quality of these 5000 people may not be large or high, but it is better than nothing, and it is enough to slow down my side.

So in this case, Babara and Huoteng received support respectively, and the two sides returned to the offensive again. During this period, Babara also restarted the siege battle. There was no way, even if the troops were insufficient, but Babara He must not let Huoteng sit idle, otherwise, once he gets more and larger support, he will really be unable to take down Huoteng City.

This period of time happened to be the time when the Red Lotus Valley Battle took place, that is, when Luo Ming and Zitong fought and passed through the Red Lotus Canyon.

Barbara and Huoteng were still in a stalemate like this, and then they each received reinforcements again, and Barbara ushered in another support force that came from a long distance, with a size of 6000 people, which was not bad; but in During this period, Huoteng also ushered in a reinforcement of 5000 people!Not only that, Barbara also learned the news through Mr. Pang's message that Huoteng is about to welcome a large-scale reinforcement of 1 people! !
The reinforcements of the crowd!
This news made Barbara completely disheartened, because the war has been going on for nearly two months, and the [-] troops brought by Barbara have already run out of ammunition and food during this period. If she hadn't felt it in time after the two successive waves of reinforcements, she would have considered retreating now, but even so, even if the remaining troops of Barbara and the reinforcements were added together, the number of troops under her command was less than [-].

On the other hand, the situation on Huoteng's side is getting better and better. Huoteng originally had more than 5000 defenders in his hands. In the previous battles, these troops also suffered heavy losses, leaving only five 6000 people, but the support he received was much more than Barbara's side!Although the support he received at first was all small-scale troops, the total number was seven or eight thousand, and then he received five thousand reinforcements at one time. Then adding the original troops in his hands, Huo Teng is now The troops in his hands are already comparable to Barbara. If he is getting a reinforcement army of [-] people, then he will completely surpass Barbara in terms of strength!

What will Huoteng do when there is a city as a guarantee and there are more troops than Babara?You don't need to think about it!

So after hearing the news, Barbara was really worried.

It's a pity that the development of the situation is much faster than she imagined, because before Barbara could think of how to deal with the rage of an extra [-] troops, the [-] reinforcements had already arrived!

On the first day when the reinforcements arrived, Huoteng launched the biggest counterattack since the start of the war. Not only did he personally lead the army out of the city, but he brought a whole [-] troops with him as soon as he came out!
This battle between Barbara and Huoteng can be described as dark, the two top villains even fought directly for countless rounds, and the battle lasted from morning to evening.

In the final result of this battle, although Huoteng withdrew his troops and returned to the city, in fact he was not defeated, or he won, because after this battle, Babara's advantage was extremely heavy, and the number of troops lost exceeded More than [-] people; and although Huoteng lost more troops, don't forget that Huoteng is the defensive side and has the upper hand in strength, while Babara is the offensive side, and the troops are still at a disadvantage. In the end, she took advantage of a little bit, but in fact, looking at the overall situation, she was the loser, because after this battle, she would no longer be able to attack Huoteng City!
And after this battle, what Barbara considered was no longer whether she could attack Huoteng City, but if she continued like this, what should she do when Huoteng led the army to attack again?
So forced, Babara had no choice but to withdraw her troops for five miles and set up camp again, but even so, the actual problem was still not resolved. If Huoteng made another counterattack, what would she do?

But at this moment, news came from Forbeck, who told Barbara that Luo Ming was coming soon!

Barbara was taken aback for a moment when she heard the news, but then she let out a sigh of relief like never before, the person who can help her has finally arrived!
Barbara is an elite demon under Mary's command, and Luo Ming is the most popular one among the new generation of demons. The two belong to the highest-level circle in Mary's camp, so they naturally know each other, and they have met each other on various occasions. They also socialized, so when she learned that Luo Ming had finally arrived, she really felt a sense of joy from heaven.

Because Barbara knows very well that Luo Mingke is different from those demons who came in as reinforcements before. This guy had two soul guards when he was a big demon, and he caused a lot of trouble in his one-acre three-point land. This time she will not let herself down, so she hastily sent her most powerful soul guard, the Red Devil, to meet Luo Ming, telling him not to delay on the way, and quickly lead the troops to reinforce her!

That's why the Red Devil suddenly appeared in front of Luo Ming.

And after seeing Luo Ming, the Red Devil also roughly explained the current battle situation in a few words, so that Luo Ming could understand the situation of Barbara.

"Lord Luo Ming, I wonder how many troops your lord brought this time?"

After finishing a few simple sentences, the Red Devil glanced behind Luo Ming. When he glanced over, what appeared before him was a boundless army. One sentence.

"Twelve thousand people."

"Lord Luo Ming, you have really helped Lord Barbara a lot!"

Hearing the number of 5000 people, Red Devil Le almost burst into tears, because if such a large army feels it, then the situation of Huoteng City can be changed!
"Red Devil, don't worry, since you are now a high-ranking man in wartime, I will follow you to see Barbara first!"

While speaking, Luo Ming called the courtesan and poisonous rose to his side:

"Poison Rose, you and the courtesan lead the troops to quickly meet Barbara. I will take Jill and go with the Red Devils. Remember, there must be no delay along the way!"

"understood."

After saying this, Luo Ming nodded to Jill, and Jill immediately ran towards the army.

Looking at Luo Ming's arrangement, the Red Devil didn't know what was going on, but immediately after he saw a cavalry unit rushing out of the army, it was Luo Ming. Three thousand bone knights under him!
How big is the scale of three thousand knights?The Red Devils were dumbfounded!It's not because the Red Devils have never seen cavalry of this size. As the soul guard under Barbara's command, he has seen more and more elite troops. It's just that the Red Devils never thought that there could be so many in Luo Ming's army. knight!
"Okay! Lord Luo Ming, follow me!"

Seeing that Jill led three thousand cavalry to nearly one thousand, the Red Devil nodded repeatedly, and then took Luo Ming to go ahead to see Babala.
