"Viceroy, although attacking the city seems to have cost us a lot, you have seen the situation inside Sun Moon City. They don't have many soldiers left. Furthermore, their reinforcements are all behind us. Although it seems difficult for us to attack the city now, our losses are definitely much smaller than our losses when we try to break through the encirclement!
As long as we break through Sun Moon City, the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai will not be able to break through the city easily, "the Deputy Viceroy said.
They had used 90,000 Undead soldiers to attack the city, but they had lost more than 50,000 soldiers. This was enough to show that the defenses of Sun Moon City were indeed very good.
Furthermore, with so many reinforcements behind them, they would definitely be at a disadvantage if they fought the enemy head-on. They might even be completely annihilated by the enemy.
However, if they could break into Sun Moon City and close the city gates, they would only need to use a small number of soldiers to defend one side. Even if they had so many reinforcements, they would have to pay a heavy price if they wanted to break into Sun Moon City. Just like how they were attacking Sun Moon City now.
Therefore, the only way out now was to attack the city.
The Viceroy was tempted when he heard the Deputy Viceroy's analysis. He had no choice but to break through the encirclement.
If the Deputy Viceroy was right and they could take down Sun Moon City, they would really have a chance of survival and would not be surrounded by so many reinforcements.
"All troops, listen up! Attack the city with all your might! We must take down Sun Moon City!" As the Governor thought of this, he looked at the reinforcements from Mount Wu Lai behind him. They were getting closer and closer. If they did not take down Sun Moon City now, it would be impossible for him to do so even if he wanted to.
The Viceroy gave the order and the remaining 60,000 soldiers charged toward the north gate. They attacked the north gate with the remaining three to four Undead soldiers!
"Oh no! The Undead Army is going to attack the city! " When the Viceroy saw all the Undead soldiers charging toward the north gate, the joy he had felt when he saw the reinforcements disappearing. Instead, he was deeply worried.
It was obvious that the Undead Army was going to fight to the death. They wanted to take down Sun Moon City first.
"Everyone, hold on! We must not let them break through the city gate. Our reinforcements are just ahead!" the Viceroy shouted.
The guards of Mount Wulai were very nervous when they saw the Army of the Underworld charging towards them. However, when they saw their 200,000 reinforcements rushing towards them, they felt a little more at ease.
However, as the saying goes, distant water can't put out a nearby fire. Although their reinforcements were already in sight, they were still some distance away. In the blink of an eye, the tens of thousands of Netherworld soldiers had already reached the city walls. At this moment, the only thing they could do was kill a few more Netherworld soldiers and hold on until reinforcements arrived.
"Viceroy, our reinforcements have arrived!" At this moment, a lieutenant ran over from behind and said excitedly.
"I know, but they are too far away from us. I don't know if we can hold on!" The Governor was not happy at all. His face was full of worry.
"Viceroy, I'm not talking about the reinforcements at the front. I'm talking about the reinforcements behind us. Look!" The lieutenant knew that the Viceroy had misunderstood something, so he pointed behind him.
"This … Why do we have so many soldiers?" When the Viceroy looked behind him, he saw a troop of tens of thousands of soldiers rushing towards them. He was instantly dumbfounded.
He remembered that he had asked him to dispatch 5,000 soldiers to each of the three city gates. In total, there were only 15,000 soldiers. However, there were more than 15,000 soldiers here. There were at least 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, right?
"Sir, they are the reinforcements sent by Sir Wu Jiang. There are a total of 50,000 soldiers, and they just came from the east gate!" the lieutenant said excitedly.
When he had gone to dispatch the troops, he had seen a troop at the east gate. He had thought that it was the Army of the Underworld coming from this side. However, when he took a closer look, he saw that it was the flag of Mount Wulai, which surprised him.
"The reinforcements sent by Sir Wu Jiang? And 50,000 soldiers? Did they mobilize 250,000 soldiers? "the Viceroy asked in disbelief.
"No, they said that there were only 150,000 reinforcements there. They split their troops into two groups. The 50,000 soldiers are here to help us defend the city!" the lieutenant said.
"I see. That's great. With these 50,000 soldiers, we don't have to worry about the Sun Moon City being breached!" The Viceroy was overjoyed. He had not expected their reinforcements to split into two groups. This was like sending charcoal in snowy weather.
However, this also made him very puzzled. Mount Wulai should have taken a much longer time to reach the east gate than the north gate. If they had split their troops into two groups, their 50,000 soldiers should have reached the Sun Moon City a long time ago.
Why did they only appear later? If their 50,000 soldiers had arrived earlier, they would not have to worry so much.
However, the situation was urgent. Although he was puzzled, he did not have the time to worry about these things. The 50,000 reinforcements, in addition to the 15,000 soldiers they had just dispatched, made up a total of 65,000 soldiers.
With so many reinforcements, the Underworld no longer had any advantage in attacking the city.
"Damn it! Didn't you say that they had no more soldiers to deploy? Why did they have so many more soldiers now? " He had thought that the city would be breached very soon when he had seen all his troops attacking the north gate.
However, he had not expected a large number of soldiers to appear on top of the city gate and kill a large number of their Underworld soldiers. This infuriated him greatly.
In such a situation, he naturally wanted to vent his anger on the Deputy Commander-In-Chief because he was the one who had suggested it in the first place.
He had thought that the other party was right, but now, he was wrong. He had been tricked! More importantly, they were now in a dilemma. They could not attack the city and the enemy troops behind them were getting closer. They did not even have a place to escape.
"Viceroy, I didn't expect this either. They were obviously hiding their strength on purpose. That's why I misjudged them!" The Vice Governor's expression was very ugly.
He also felt that he had been tricked. However, he had been tricked by his own eyes.
Mount Wulai had previously shown that they had no more soldiers to deploy. However, the situation had turned out this way. The sudden appearance of so many soldiers was more than what they had seen at the beginning.
