Chapter Seventy-Three: Enemy Attack

After Zhao Chun dealt with these things, it was already the second half of the night, and most of the tired officers and soldiers had fallen asleep, and only a small number were still standing guard and patrolling.

"You go to sleep too, I don't know when there will be a bad battle to fight. Zhao Chun said to Laura who was "fishing" with a slight apology, he had promised to take her home after leaving the Batu Caves, but now that the lives of thousands of people were tied to him, where could he walk away in style? The most important thing is that he came to this world to find the root cause of the catastrophe and find a way to prevent the further development of the catastrophe.

Laura said sleepily: "I don't dare to sleep, as soon as I close my eyes, I have nightmares, and many people are chasing me." "She is actually far from being as strong as when she led the troops to fight, and it is only when she is alone with Zhao Chun that she shows her vulnerable side.

"It doesn't matter, you can sleep at ease, I'll protect you by my side. When you wake up, you will stand guard for me again, and let me sleep too. "Zhao Chundao, in fact, as long as he enters the state of cultivation, he will not be tired if he doesn't sleep for a few days and nights, after all, his cultivation method is different from Laura, and it is even more different from those soldiers who have been rudely transformed into low-level cultivators by the system, he said this, mainly to coax Laura to sleep for a while.

After listening to Laura, she really felt that she had a great responsibility, if she didn't stand up and let Zhao Chun rest well, which caused a problem in his decision-making, the lives of thousands of people would be over. So she obediently slept next to Zhao Chun.

Zhao Chun shook his head with a wry smile, and continued to look through the previous battle reports, thinking hard about how to deal with the breakthrough of the Black Ice Tribe......

Another three hours passed, and Xue He hurriedly came to Zhao Chun's house with a few people.

"Brother Zhao, it's not good, according to the information we have received, there is a group of about 3,000 Black Ice Tribe troops coming in our direction, and it is estimated that it will be more than an hour to reach us. "The snow rushes through the tunnel.

Zhao Chun frowned and said, "Where did you get the news? Did the reconnaissance squadron find it? How far was the army of the Black Ice Tribe from here at that time?"

Xuehe pushed a miner-like person in front of Zhao Chun and said: "This is the one you set him free before, he was going to return to his tribe, but when he walked to a path about fifty kilometers away from here, he found a large number of Black Ice Tribe troops coming in this direction, so he ran back to report the news, because he copied the shortcut, so he was faster than others." ”

Zhao Chun then remembered that a few hours ago, in order to fulfill his promise, he had told all the miners that if anyone wanted to leave, they could give them a toll, and more than 200 people stood up after hesitating for a long time, and then Zhao Chun asked people to give them a toll. It's just that what he didn't expect was that a small act of kindness at that time would have paid off so quickly, and if it hadn't been for the miner rushing back to report the news, I was afraid that the enemy would have entered the city, and they would still be in the dark.

Zhao Chun held the miner's hand tightly and said, "Thank you, brother, you saved us all." ”

"Commander-in-chief, this is what I should do, without you, it won't be long before I die in the Batu Caves. The miner hesitated for a moment and then said, "Commander-in-chief, I have a request, I want to become a low-level monk and fight with you, and without you, I feel very uncomfortable with this world. ”

"Yes, you're welcome to join us. Zhao Chun said excitedly. Immediately took out a contract and asked the miner to sign it.

After he signed to become a low-level monk, Zhao Chun said to Xue He again: "You get him a weapon, let him lead a team to follow you, in the future, when the time comes, you can let him lead the reconnaissance squadron, we need many people like this who are loyal to our cause." ”

"Okay. ”

Xuehe was about to take someone away, but Zhao Chun said again: "You go and notify Shen Ju, Xiaolu and Xueli to come over for a small meeting, and at the same time send someone to keep an eye on the enemy's movements and report back in time!"

Soon after Xuehe went out, Shen Ju and the others arrived in a hurry.

"Commander-in-chief, I heard that there is an enemy coming here?" Before Zhao Chun could speak, Shen Ju shouted loudly.

"Well, Shen Bureau, you take your brigade and divide a part of the people to get the five spiritual power cannons to the city gate, all of them are arranged at the north gate, and the spirit stones are also loaded and ready to be fired at any time. At the same time, some people were sent to burn the boiler of the smelter, and find a way to get the hot spiritual molten iron to the city wall, and once the enemy army began to attack the city, the molten iron was poured from the city wall. If you don't have enough people, you can enlist some of the town's residents to help, but you have to be careful not to break discipline. Zhao Chun gave an order to the Shen Bureau.

"Yes, I'll do it. Shen Ju said with a smile, this guy is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and now he heard that there was a battle, and he was so happy that Zhao Chun shook his head, since this thing is so aggressive, I really don't know how to survive in this smelter where birds don't all these years.

"Xiaolu, you take a team of 1,000 people, lie in ambush in the dense forest on the left about one kilometer from the city gate, wait for the enemy to start attacking the city for half an hour, and then kill from behind them. Sherry, you take a team of 1,000 people, also ambushed in the dense forest on the right side of about a kilometer from the city gate, you will also kill from behind half an hour later, and the Shen Bureau and I will take people out of the city to meet you. Do your best to get close to the enemy, and only in close combat can we have any hope of victory, understand?"

Xiaolu and Shirley also took the order.

By this time, Laura had woken up and asked, "What about me? What is my mission? Is it to lead people to guard the walls?"

"No," Zhao Chun shook his head with a smile and said, "You lead the people of the supervision squadron to maintain order in the city, especially pay attention to the movements of those prisoners and Shen Ju and others, when we are engaged with the enemy, the city must not be chaotic, otherwise we will be defeated without waiting for the enemy to attack." ”

"Hmph, I know that you look down on me and don't let me fight. Laura said with some dissatisfaction.

Zhao Chun said helplessly: "You are also fighting, and your responsibilities are more important than them, if something happens, we may be here and never go home." ”

"Okay, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will live well, I want you to take me home, and if anything happens to you, I will not live. ”

Zhao Chun's heart warmed and said, "Okay, I will definitely take you home." ”

As a result, as soon as Zhao Chun's side was ready, the army of the Black Ice Tribe appeared at the north gate.

"Boom, boom......" As soon as the town issued the alarm of the enemy attack, the spiritual power cannon of the Black Ice Tribe bombarded in, and a few cannons fell on the city wall, knocking a section of the city wall down, and a few more cannons fell in the town.

While dodging the spiritual cannon, Shen Ju let people launch a spiritual cannon to fire back, but he only had five chances to fire, and he only fired a few times before he was dumbfounded, and the damage caused to the enemy was very limited. However, the enemy's spiritual cannonballs bombarded the city wall and the city one after another as if they didn't want money, not only causing a large number of casualties, but even the city wall was about to collapse.

That's not all, the army of this Black Ice Tribe, and the Air Force, there are more than two hundred soldiers riding on the flying eagle beast, and they are approaching the north gate, while constantly shooting spiritual arrows, these spiritual arrows are very powerful, almost every arrow can cause casualties. And the infantry of the Black Ice Tribe was also rapidly approaching the gap in the city wall, preparing to break through into the city from there.

Fortunately, the continuous flow of molten iron from the smelter played a certain role at this time, because the people of the Black Ice Tribe were naturally afraid of heat, even if the molten iron did not hit the people, but the blazing temperature also discouraged them.

At this moment, the enemy's order flag changed, and eight hundred soldiers riding on horses and beasts flashed from the team, these soldiers rode their horses to charge towards the gap in the city wall, and at the same time, like knights in the air, shot powerful spiritual arrows, which was a disaster for Zhao Chun's side, the soldiers who couldn't dodge fell one after another, and their volley caused more than 200 casualties on this side, which was still covered by the gatehouse of the city wall and the building of the house, otherwise they caused more casualties.
