On top of the Northern City Tower, although the Governor overseeing Mount Wulai had boosted the morale of the defending troops on Mount Wulai to a certain extent, the situation of the defending troops on Mount Wulai suddenly took a turn for the worse when the Underworld gained another 20,000 Underworld soldiers.
After all, it was difficult for Mount Wu Lai to deploy any more troops. If the defending troops from the other three city gates were deployed, the three gates would be left empty. This was a very dangerous matter.
Although it seemed impossible for the Underworld to attack from the other three gates, who could guarantee that it would be 100% successful?
"My Lord, if our reinforcements still don't arrive, we can only deploy more troops from the other three gates!" The Ghost Lords said worriedly.
"No, if we deploy troops from the other three gates, our city will be easily breached if enemy troops appear on any of the three gates." The Governor shook his head.
"But if we don't do this now, our city will be breached very soon!" The Ghost Lords said worriedly.
"Governor, the Governor's words are not unreasonable. We have not discovered any enemy troops on the other three gates. We only need to retain a few thousand soldiers to ensure the safety of the three gates. However, if we don't send more troops, the city will be breached very soon! "A Ghost Lord beside the Governor said.
Initially, they were very excited when they found out that Mount Wu Lai would send 200,000 reinforcements. They felt that Lord Wu Jiang really cared about Sun Moon City. When the time came, they would be rewarded handsomely for their contribution in breaching the city.
However, they never thought that their reinforcements would not arrive even though the situation in Sun Moon City was already so critical. This was simply forcing them onto the road to death!
Right now, they didn't care if there were enemies coming from the other three directions. If they didn't defend the north gate, Sun Yin City would soon be breached. Even if they defended the other three gates, what would be the point?
He didn't care about the rewards anymore. All he wanted was to survive. If the Underworld breached Sun Moon City, he would not have a good ending!
Therefore, he could only hope that Mount Wu Lai could defend the north gate and prevent Sun Moon City from being breached.
The Governor also looked worried. He did not say anything but he was also considering this problem. It was unlikely that they would be able to wait for reinforcements to come and help them out. They could only rely on themselves.
Now, the only places that could deploy troops were the other three city gates. Although each region could only deploy a small number of troops, under such circumstances, there was no other way.
"If that's the case, then send another five thousand soldiers from each of the three city gates!" In the end, the Viceroy chose to compromise. After all, there was no other way to defend the north gate.
Of course, he could only hope that nothing happened at the other three gates. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to defend the city gates with such a small number of troops.
With the Governor's permission, they hurriedly dispatched troops. Although there were only 15,000 soldiers in all three regions, it was still enough to alleviate the current situation.
"Kill! Kill all of the Netherworld soldiers! " However, just as they were about to deploy more troops, earth-shattering battle cries suddenly rang out from outside the city.
"What's that sound?" the Governor exclaimed.
"Sir, reinforcements! Our reinforcements have arrived! "Suddenly, the capital commander on the city tower looked outside the city and shouted excitedly.
"Is that true? Our reinforcements have arrived? "At that moment, the Governor also became excited and hurriedly rushed up the city tower.
He looked outside the city and indeed, a densely packed army had appeared behind the Underworld's army. The word "Wu" was written on the flag. Who else could it be if not the army of Mount Wu?
"They're finally here, our reinforcements are finally here!" The Governor was overjoyed. They had been waiting for this moment for far too long and now, they had finally arrived.
Two hundred thousand reinforcements! Let's see how the Underworld is going to hide this time!
"Oh no! Governor, our path of retreat has been cut off by the reinforcements from Mount Wu! "At that moment, his face was filled with panic.
"How is this possible? How could they have so many reinforcements? "The Underworld's Governor could not believe his eyes when he saw the reinforcements charging towards them.
However, the enemy's army was already charging towards them. It was impossible for him not to believe it no matter how hard he tried.
"We've underestimated Mount Wu. I never thought that they would not only send so many reinforcements but also cut off our path of retreat. No wonder their reinforcements have yet to appear. So this is the reason! "The Deputy Governor could no longer remain calm when he saw so many reinforcements from Mount Wu charging towards them.
If they still had one hundred and fifty thousand soldiers, they would still be able to put up a fight even if the enemy had so many reinforcements. However, they had already lost almost fifty thousand soldiers in these two battles. In other words, they were only left with around one hundred thousand Underworld soldiers.
Moreover, even if the Underworld soldiers who were still attacking the city were not dead, many of them were already injured. Their complete military strength was only the sixty thousand soldiers behind them.
Under these circumstances, they would not be able to hold off the hundreds of thousands of reinforcements from Mount Wu.
"Hmph! Even if they have more reinforcements than us, we will still charge out! "The Governor said coldly.
Now that they were blocked by Sun Moon City and there were two hundred thousand enemy soldiers behind them, they had no other choice but to charge out of the encirclement!
"Governor, we mustn't do that. Mount Wu has sent so many reinforcements. With just our tens of thousands of soldiers, we will definitely not be able to hold off so many enemy soldiers! "The Deputy Governor hurriedly stopped him.
It was easier said than done for tens of thousands of soldiers to charge out of the encirclement of so many enemies. This was clearly suicide.
"Then what do you think we should do now? We are now sandwiched between them. If we charge out, we will still have a chance of survival. Otherwise, we can only be attacked from both sides. Choose one! "The Governor was instantly enraged when he saw that the Deputy Governor was still spouting nonsense at this time.
If he hadn't listened to him and sent seventy thousand soldiers to attack the north gate, they would not have fallen into such an awkward situation.
"Sir, our only way out now is to continue attacking the city. As long as we enter the city, we will be able to survive! If we break out of the encirclement from the back, we will definitely die! "The Deputy Governor said.
"Still want to attack the city? Now that things have come to this, do you still want my Underworld soldiers to die? "However, when he heard the Governor's suggestion, he was furious.
