Devil's Doom Row

Chapter 468 Choice
Finally, when the next day came, Huoteng and his army were defeated.

This is a result completely unexpected by Huoteng. He has prepared for this attack for a long time, and he has prepared a lot. He even started planning after the last counterattack, because Huoteng, who is good at fighting, knows very well that although he was early Because Barbara got reinforcements, but the advantage from this was temporary, and Barbara could also get reinforcements, especially when she joined Luo Ming, it would definitely be enough to form a force to destroy Huoteng City. strength!
Therefore, this time, Huoteng is determined to wipe out Babara's troops.

Unfortunately, it failed.

He didn't expect Luo Ming to come so fast, and brought three thousand bone knights at the most critical moment of the battle. Just this unexpected one completely ruined the victory he had already obtained.

Therefore, when Luo Ming began to command his cavalry to sweep the entire battlefield, and Babara's troops gradually concentrated under his command and began to counterattack, Huo Teng knew that his situation was over and he had to withdraw his troops.

The price of retreating this time was quite high, because the main force on Barbara's side was Luo Ming, and the troops led by Luo Ming were cavalry!Can there be a unit that is better at chasing than cavalry?
And although there are cavalry in Huoteng's army, the number is not bad, but don't forget, his retreat sounds like a retreat, but in fact it is a rout at all. In the melee at that time, how could he have the ability to send the troops to the ground? Stop them all before leaving!So his troops basically fought on their own as they retreated, without any protection at all.

Under such circumstances, Luo Ming chased all the way for two miles before giving up. During the pursuit, he even captured more enemy troops than on the battlefield. The fighting was ferocious, but during the pursuit, one side was running while the other was chasing, so the gap between the two was naturally huge.

"Luo Ming."

At very dawn, Luo Ming led his cavaliers to appear in Barbara's camp again. After a great battle, Barbara's camp was completely in disrepair. The fire may not have completely wiped out Barbara, but Indeed, her territory was flattened, so when Luo Ming led his army back here, there was only a mess in front of him.

However, the scene in the camp may be horrible, but when Luo Ming saw Barbara, he found that the famous female devil did not have the slightest sorrow on her face, but was extremely happy.

After seeing Luo Ming, Barbara took her directly to the temporary handsome tent, and let him sit beside her and said:
"Luo Ming, Lady Mary did not misread you, you came just in time!"

Sitting side by side with the beautiful Barbara, looking at her face, Luo Ming even felt a little embarrassed, so he replied a little shyly: "It's just a matter of duty."

However, Barbara, who was sitting opposite him, was quite enthusiastic, and she said without violating discipline: "This lord war is the duty of every devil under Lord Mary, but how many of them can do it?" You have so many?"

"Don't worry, after we break Huoteng City, everything you have done in this battle will be a great achievement!"

It can be seen that Barbara was very happy to repel Huoteng, which made her and Luo Ming chat a lot, but these were just small talk after all, and the two of them talked about the serious business after a while.

"Luo Ming, when will your follow-up troops arrive?"

Looking at Luo Ming, Barbara became very serious after talking about the business.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow will arrive."

"Hmm..." After hearing Luo Ming's return, Barbara nodded, and then asked again: "How many troops are there?"

Compared with the time when the troops arrived, Barbara was more concerned about how many troops Luo Ming had brought, because what she lacked the most now was troops, especially after a big battle last night.

However, unlike the fear before, now Barbara is more or less at ease, because since Luo Ming can lead the three thousand bone cavalry first, then the troops under his command will no longer be few, which can at least make Barbara peace of mind.

Sure enough, Luo Ming's answer did not disappoint her.

"In addition to the three thousand bone cavalry who followed me, there are 1 follow-up troops, of which there are about [-] high-level troops, and the rest are ordinary troops."

After hearing Luo Ming's words, Barbara finally let out a breath that had been held in her heart for an unknown amount of time. She really let out a long breath, and then looked at Luo Ming and smiled.

In Barbara's view, this answer is simply too satisfying!
Not only did Luo Ming bring an army of [-], but besides the Bone Knight, there were actually nearly [-] high-level troops among them!This greatly exceeded Barbara's expectations, and made her feel a sense of joy descended from heaven!

"Master Barbara, the loss in the battle yesterday... I don't know what to do?"

And when Barbara finished asking the question he was most concerned about, Luo Ming also asked it immediately, which was also the question he was most concerned about.

Because since Luo Ming has already reunited with Barbara, the task on him is to capture Huoteng City together with Barbara, and Luo Ming has the right to speak during this period!

If he only brought a small amount of troops this time and could only add to the icing on the cake for Barbara, then he could only be a member of his subordinates, but this is not the case now. If the number of troops is even more than that of Barbara's remaining troops, then he will have to ask some important questions, and even consider together with Barbara how to capture Huoteng City.

After Luo Ming finished speaking, Barbara frowned slightly on her always smiling face.

"Yesterday's war, the loss was great..."

Barbara also knew the importance of Luo Ming now, so she didn't hide anything and told him the whole truth.

Just like what he said, although they won in the face of the menacing Huoteng, they lost a lot!

In yesterday's battle, Barbara's [-] troops lost more than [-], and almost lost half of their troops!And more importantly, in yesterday's battle, the high-level troops under Barbara's command were almost completely lost, and there were only about [-] heavy-armored skeletons and goat-headed mages left in total, almost all of them were wiped out. Skeleton warriors also suffered more than half of the casualties, and even her unique special unit of light cavalry was only a few hundred left.

There is no way, yesterday's battle was too chaotic and too tragic. Before Luo Ming led the army to Babara, the troops had already suffered heavy losses. After Luo Ming arrived, the whole army attacked in the counterattack. All of them participated in the melee, so the losses were naturally heavy.

In addition to the loss of troops, the precious siege weapons were also consumed a lot in yesterday's battle, because Babara, who was desperate, used these siege weapons as obstacles in the battle, so in the battle Naturally, there will be losses, especially when she resists Huoteng's attack alone. At that time, Huoteng's army used the method of dismantling the siege weapons that blocked the way to advance.

So after World War I, only two of the original five rams were still usable, dozens of ladders were left over a dozen, and only five catapults were left. As for small siege crossbows The loss of pieces was even more numerous. Among the siege weapons, the only ones that could be called well-preserved were the siege towers, because the fiery army at that time had not had time to attack these towers before Luo Ming led his army to arrive, which made the The siege towers were preserved, and counting the number, only two or three were lost. However, the siege towers can also play a suppressive role in real siege battles, and they are essentially useless.

That being said, Barbara did suffer a huge loss in yesterday's battle. If it wasn't for the arrival of Luo Ming's reinforcements, let alone whether she would fail, even if Barbara really won Huoteng, it would only be a win. She gave up the battle and lost the entire battle, because it was impossible for her remaining troops to pose any threat to Huoteng City.

"But it's a good thing you're here."

However, after talking about the battle damage helplessly, a smile appeared on Barbara's face. She looked at Luo Ming with a smile and said, "Although we lost a lot in yesterday's battle, it's a good thing you came In time, so you don't have to worry, as soon as your follow-up army arrives, we can capture Huoteng City!"

"This... can it be done?"

Judging from the tone of Barbara's words and her performance, it seems that she is quite confident in the battle after joining forces with Luo Ming. However, Luo Ming, who is sitting opposite him, is a little hesitant. The reason is simple: he has no idea. !

Because although what Babara said sounds good, as long as his troops arrive, he can capture Huoteng City, but in Luo Ming's opinion, Huoteng City can be captured just by talking about it?At the beginning, Barbara held an army of [-] soldiers, and the soldiers were strong and the morale was like a rainbow. Didn't they still not be defeated?Not only did Huoteng City fail to capture, but if Luo Ming hadn't arrived in time, she might have been annihilated!
Naturally, there are many reasons for this result. The elites under Mary's reputation have absolutely no vacancies. Luo Ming is still very sure of Barbara's ability. Therefore, there is only one reason for this result, and that is Huotengcheng. It is difficult to be captured!And now, even if Luo Ming's army arrives in time, his and Babara's troops combined will only be [-] people, which is not as strong as Babara's alone during the war. How can this shake Huoteng City? !
Therefore, when Barbara confidently said that Huoteng City could be captured, Luo Ming would inevitably be a little bit unconvinced.

Luo Ming didn't hide his thoughts, but directly expressed them, he just wanted to let Barbara know.

Because the meaning of what Barbara said just now is quite obvious, that is, as long as Luo Ming's follow-up troops join forces, they will launch a general attack on Huoteng City!

But in Luo Ming's opinion, this is not a good choice. At least they still have other options to consider, such as continuing to wait.

Forbeck didn't just send Luo Ming to support Barbara at the beginning, so Luo Ming's reinforcements were not the only ones for Barbara. Wasn't there someone who arrived before Luo Ming?Therefore, since Luo Ming has now reunited with Barbara, this gives him the capital to continue to procrastinate, and Huoteng has just suffered a big defeat, and he is unable to organize a large-scale counterattack in a short period of time. The safest thing to do in this case is to wait.

When the other demons sent by Forbeck arrive one after another, the power in Barbara's hands will grow little by little, and if he goes to attack Huoteng City at that time, he will naturally have greater confidence.

On the contrary, if Barbara launched a general attack on Huoteng City immediately after Luo Ming's large army arrived, the risk would be much greater. That's why Luo Ming let Barbara see his concerns. With Barbara's ability, he can see what he is worried about at a glance, which saves him the trouble of clarifying his words.

Sure enough, when Luo Ming showed a hesitant expression, Barbara shook her head and smiled. Obviously she had understood what Luo Ming was thinking, and then she heard her say:
"Luo Ming, I understand your concerns, but... our current situation is much worse than you imagined!"

Looking at Luo Ming, Barbara said helplessly: "To reinforce me and Tianzong, Master Forbeck indeed sent a lot of demons to march forward. Tianzong and I know this, but Luo Ming, you Unknowingly, not every demon sent to reinforce us will be as punctual as you and lead an army to join us."

"Before you, I only got two batches of reinforcements, and the total was only about [-] troops, and they were all useless troops. Tianzong's side was even worse. As far as I know, he has not yet Waiting for any reinforcements, if it wasn't because he had more troops than me, Tianzong's situation would be even worse than mine."

"So if we continue to drag Huoteng according to what you think, we may not be able to wait for real reinforcements; and don't forget, we are going deep alone. If the speed and scale of reinforcements are compared, Jia Long will let Huoteng go. Does Teng care? The reinforcements he can get, no matter in terms of quantity, quality, or even speed, will always be faster than us! So we can't afford to delay!"

Facing Luo Ming, Barbara explained it in detail. From her point of view, Luo Ming's worries were not wrong, but his limitations and idealization were too serious. Little did he know that although he himself had overcome obstacles along the way, other demons were far less so. This kind of ability is far less than his level. Of course, it is no wonder, because people with Luo Ming's ability usually find it difficult to understand how those who are not as good as him mess things up; I don't know that the current situation is far more serious than it appears and imagined!As Barbara said, they can't afford it!

"In addition..." After shaking his head, Barbara continued: "In fact, you don't need to worry, because you just arrived so you don't know, Huoteng and his Huoteng City are not invincible The city that never falls, and yesterday's defeat is actually not a big loss for us, because I waited for you, but it is different for Huoteng!"

"At the beginning, he immediately launched a large-scale counterattack after receiving [-] reinforcements. Although he won the battle strategically, he lost to me on the battlefield. The loss of the troops was quite serious, and yesterday he He put all his eggs in one basket and launched a general attack. Although the troops he brought were not all, they were all elite, and this defeat was fatal to him! I can tell you with certainty that after yesterday's defeat, Huoteng has already Spell out all the reinforcements you just got!"

"So now is his weakest period. If we launch a decisive battle at this time, we will win!"

Facing Luo Ming, Barbara said it with great momentum, especially her last sentence - must win!How confident is this!The confidence she exuded even stunned Luo Ming who was sitting across from her.

And Barbara's self-confidence is by no means groundless, that is to say, she is really confident and not arrogant. As a top villain who has been on the battlefield for a long time, Barbara's insight into the battlefield is by no means Luo Ming. This kind of fresh meat can be compared, why did she say that yesterday's battle was Huoteng's desperate attack?It is because Barbara has seen Huoteng's difficulties at this time!

The war is two-sided, one person cannot fight a war, and similarly, the dilemma in a stalemate war is by no means one-sided, but both sides have their own difficulties, so that the battle will enter a stalemate; and just as Just as Huoteng has seen through Barbara's disadvantages, Barbara is also well aware of Huoteng's difficulties at this time!
Don't look at Huoteng trying to defeat or even annihilate Babara's troops twice successively after receiving reinforcements, but in Babara's view, the more he did this, the more he exposed his own disadvantages, that is, Huoteng also didn't want to delay down!No, it shouldn't be said that way, it should be said that Huoteng doesn't want Babara to attack his city anymore!

Why is this so?Because in the successive battles, Huoteng has already felt a deep threat from Barbara!This beautiful female devil has a more terrifying ability than her beauty. Under her command, her troops have devastated Huoteng City time and time again, even to the point where Huoteng was forced to block the gates to save the city. , under such circumstances, how dare Huo Teng let Barbara lead an army to attack the city again!

It is precisely because of this that he launched counterattacks again and again. The first time was to force Babara to retreat. Huoteng did it. He forced Babara to lead his army to retreat and keep his city away from However, after learning that Luo Ming was about to lead an army to join this female devil, Huoteng had no choice but to launch a second general attack. This time, his purpose was to completely annihilate Barbara, so that she would not have any trouble. Way to join Luo Ming.

However, he failed in this battle, and the loss was huge, so Huoteng's most troublesome and fearful thing now is that Barbara and Luo Ming's army will join up and launch a decisive battle against him!
Because Huoteng has no confidence in the outcome of this battle!
So in this case, if Babara continues to delay, it is tantamount to wasting the best opportunity since the attack on Huoteng City, and it is tantamount to letting Huoteng get through the difficulties for nothing!
Of course Barbara wouldn't let that happen!
