The bugle horn was blown, and the army retreated in a sorry state.
Due to the Bull-Horned Demon's summon, all the demonic creatures in the city gathered towards the center of the city, ignoring the fleeing army. Hence, the army's retreat was relatively smooth.
However, it became a little congested as they retreated from the city.
There were only four gates in Ji Province City. The armies of the three states and prefectures retreated from the east, west, and south gates respectively.
Even after the intense battle with the demonic creatures, the armies of the three states and prefectures were still left with more than 20,000 people.
It was not easy for these 20,000 people to squeeze out of a city gate that was only five to six meters wide. Hence, it was impossible for them to retreat in a short time.
The first to retreat from the city were naturally the injured Three Marquises and the soldiers with status in the army. Only after that would there be the elite cavalry with better mobility.
As for the elite infantry, they had no chance of leaving the city in a short time.
As the armies of the three states and prefectures swarmed out of the city, tens of thousands of demonic creatures had already gathered at the square in the center of the city, and there was still a steady stream of demonic creatures gathering.
"Kill every last one of them! The Bull-Horned Demon pointed at the south gate and roared angrily.
Following the Bull-Horned Demon's order, the mighty demonic creature army swept towards the south gate like a tidal wave.
This was a cohesive army of demonic creatures, which was completely different from the previous scattered state.
Under the Bull-Horned Demon's command, these demonic creatures were even more united, more frenzied, and more unstoppable!
In just a few minutes, this demonic creature army surged through the streets and alleys like a tidal wave, charging towards the south gate in a grandiose manner.
At this moment, half of the army at the south gate had not retreated.
Seeing the demonic creature army surging towards them like a tidal wave, the remaining soldiers had already begun to tremble before they could even engage them in battle.
"The demonic creature army is charging over. Please give the order, Lord Commander!" A Deputy General walked up to Fang Tianyu and cupped his fists as he asked for instructions.
As the commander of the patrol army, Fang Tianyu should have been the first to retreat. However, he took the initiative to stay behind to cover the Three Marquises' safe retreat.
He knew that if he did not stay behind to stop the demons, the demons would catch up to the Three Marquises halfway and take their lives.
The three Marquises were the only ones who could defeat the Fiendish Demons. If the three Marquises died, the Ji Province would be finished. No one could defeat the fiendish demons. The people of Jinan City and even other cities would be separated by life and death, homeless and destitute.
But if the three Marquises managed to escape, there was still hope. As long as the three Marquises recovered from their injuries and made a new battle plan, they still had hope of defeating the Yaomo.
It could be said that the three marquises were the last hope of the people of Ji Province. Fang Tianyu could not let this hope be destroyed. She could not see countless people lose their homes, so she took the initiative to stay.
"We must delay the demons and allow the three Marquises to retreat successfully! Fang Tianyu wielded his golden halberd and led the charge toward the army of demonic creatures.
"Kill! The deputy general shouted and led tens of thousands of elite infantrymen. They raised their weapons and charged forward with Fang Tianyu.
The two mighty armies were like two unstoppable torrents as they collided with each other.
In just a few minutes of fighting, the two armies had suffered countless casualties. Countless corpses covered the ground, and blood gathered to form a red ocean.
Before the Cow-Horned Demon dominated these demonic creatures, for every five demonic creatures that died, there would only be one sacrifice in the human army.
But after the Cow-Horned Demon dominated these demonic creatures, for every demonic creature that died, there would be one casualty in the human army.
This was enough to show that after the Cow-Horned Demon dominated the demonic creatures, the strength of the demonic creatures was several times stronger than before!
Just this army of ten thousand demonic creatures was enough to wipe out the rest of the Ji Province army here!
But what was worse was that there was still a steady stream of demonic creatures gathering here from all over the city's streets and alleys.
"Commander, if this goes on, we will definitely be wiped out! Even the deputy general could see the current situation. He said to Fang Tianyu with a grave expression.
"We have no other choice!" Fang Tianyu spat out these words heavily, and then rushed into the army of demonic creatures to fight without looking back.
At that moment, the weapons in the hands of all the soldiers were affected by an invisible magnetic force. They trembled and flew out of their hands, gathering at a certain spot in the army of demonic creatures.
Even the golden halberd in Fang Tianyu's hand flew out uncontrollably and flew toward that spot.
All the weapons gathered and squeezed and deformed, sticking closely together to form a metal sphere with a diameter of five meters.
And right below the metal sphere stood a humanoid monster.
The monster was completely black and shrouded in a large amount of black fog. It had long, messy hair, a pair of scarlet eyes, and two bull horns on its head.
It was obvious that this monster was controlling these metal weapons.
"What … What monster is that? Did it suck away our weapons? rdquo;
"Is that the demon that caused this disaster? What a terrifying thing! rdquo;
"What … What a terrifying aura. I … I can't move my body …"
The moment they saw the bull-headed demon, everyone fell into despair. Some people even lost their will to fight and fell to the ground.
The bull-headed demon waved its hand upward, and the huge metal sphere suddenly rose into the sky. In the blink of an eye, it flew hundreds of meters high and suddenly fell from the sky like a meteorite, crashing toward the densest area of the Ji Province army.
"Get out of the way! It's falling! rdquo;
"Damn it, it's too late! rdquo;
For a moment, all the soldiers in that area were as anxious as ants on a hot pan as they fled in all directions.
However, the soldiers in that area were too densely distributed, and they had no way to escape. They could only watch the huge metal sphere fall with horrified and desperate eyes.
Boom!
The metal sphere violently hit the ground, instantly smashing the soldiers into meat paste and causing the ground to cave in exaggeratedly, forming a huge pit with a diameter of 30 meters.
The terrifying shockwave was mixed with rolling heatwaves. With the impact area as the center, it swept out in all directions like a wave. All the soldiers who were affected were sent flying along with it.
For a moment, the sky was filled with soldiers who were sent flying. They drew a parabola in the air and then fell from the sky one after another. They fell to the ground like stones, smashed into a bloody mess.
Many soldiers on the ground were also smashed into meat paste.
In just an instant, hundreds of soldiers had become dye on the ground, plated the land with a layer of bright red.
The survivors' faces were ashen as they watched this tragic scene in despair.
These were all comrades who had gone through fire and water with them. They were their brothers and their fetters.
