Chapter 051: The Western Expedition Folds (4) Old Liar
War is always a paradise for conspirators and a hell for the weak, and as the leader of an army, the best way to show your own strength is superb wisdom and deceitful tactics!
In the first breakout encounter, Gurus seemed to have given up on capturing the granary, but in fact, in the first attack, there were two meanings, one was to observe George's method of defending the granary and the composition of the troops, and the other was to test whether there was real grain in the granary!
The former Gurus did not see George's pikemen and longbowmen, and the latter Gurus could only roughly confirm that there was indeed grain in the granary, but it was not yet possible to confirm how much was a trap!
After analyzing many factors, Gurus thought of a possibility, and then he secretly made a very cunning decision!
On the morning of the next day, Gurus put on his full body armor and wrapped it tightly, and led most of the elite in the fortress to move in the direction of the granary! At the same time, another light cavalry unit rushed out from the other direction of the city gate, it was another reinforcement unit of Gurus!
This time the attacking force is different from the last time, all the elite troop guardians are equipped with giant crossbows on wheels, and there are also 2 trebuchets in the troops, and the outer layers of large shields and longbowmen are neatly arranged in formation inside! And under the urging of hunger, the troops are extremely hard! The whole army can't wait to move in the direction of the granary!
George saw the composition of the Gurus troops from a distance and felt that his plan had succeeded this time, Gurus actually sent heavy troops to occupy the granary, so this time in the field, we must use the field advantage to kill the Gurus troops, after all, after so many days of fighting, Gurus's troops have been reduced by half, and the numerical advantage is gradually decreasing, and as long as Tina takes the lead in tearing apart the enemy's formation, then it is still possible to eat the current army, George is waiting for an opportunity, as long as this opportunity comes, then it is the death of tens of thousands of Gurus troops!
This time, George not only raised the low wall, but also dug some trenches in front of the low wall. And arranged some elite longbowmen in the rear of the ancients, when the Gurus troops approached the low wall, the archers began to harass, the Gurus's troops as before, erected large shields to defend, and let the longbowmen return fire in the rear, George's archers did not take advantage of anything and began to retreat!
The Gurus troops were the same as last time, and the low wall of the advance road began to build an earthen slope, although the low wall was heightened, but the Gurus's troops had a numerical advantage, and at the same time as building the earthen slope, they also set up trebuchets on the soil slope, aiming at the slopes on both sides of the valley, and this time if there were archers attacking with the advantage of the ancient sides, then they would be attacked by trebuchets.

George saw the giant crossbow behind the opponent's army formation, and knew that this time the troops of Gurus were determined to get food and grass, and the troops sent were all elite troops, so he was very restrained and constantly commanded the archers to withdraw from the opponent's attack range.
Just watch as the troops of Gurus slowly line up in the valley!
When the other party entered the valley, George suddenly launched a flag!
Huge rocks smashed into the positions of the Gurus longbowmen. It turned out that George had collected a few damaged trebuchets in the past few days, and after many observations and experiments, he had 1 copycat, which could almost throw some rocks more than 50 meters, although it was not very mature, but this time it was enough to condescendingly smash the opponent's archers and giant crossbow positions.
As the opposing longbowmen's position was in disarray, George immediately sent archers to attack the crossbow positions in the rear of the Gurus army, shooting and killing the soldiers operating the crossbows.
As soon as the longbowmen of the Gurus army regrouped, George immediately commanded the archers to retreat!
George felt that although Gurus was wearing full body armor and looked so tall and heroic, he always felt a little worse in command than a few days ago.
But the battlefield was changing rapidly, and George did not stop, and immediately led the archers to move constantly to find fighters.
Finally Gurus's troops began to send soldiers pushing some vehicles and began to approach the granary. Then the big shieldmen followed the cover, and the longbowmen kept coming up from behind!
George found that the opponent's soldiers were out of the cover range of the giant crossbow to a certain extent, and immediately ordered: "Tina led the spearmen to raid the opponent's longbow position, and Vine led the archers to cut off the opponent's support, and then George personally held the bow and began to shoot the opponent's soldiers approaching the granary with precision!"
Tina rode on a heavily armored war horse, this time George made a full-iron thick-backed long knife for Tina, Tina rode out with a broadsword, and behind Tina a spearman wearing full iron armor rode his horse and charged!
As soon as Gurus's troops saw that the other party's killing god was coming again, the formation began to scatter, and some of them did not participate in the battle in the first thousand, and they didn't understand why their comrades around them were peeing their pants, but the next second they saw Tina rush into the formation like a killing god, slashing and killing the big shield hand like peeling a cucumber, and the blood stained the opponent's tiger helmet, just like a tiger that chooses people to devour!
Tina broke through the defensive formation formed by the big shield and went straight to the longbowman formation, while the spear knight behind her followed Tina and rushed to the longbowman formation and began to slash and slash!
At this time, Fuji led the archers to bite the giant crossbow of Gurus, preventing the giant crossbow from moving to support the forward position. If it was a plain, such a tactic would not work, but in the narrow valley, it was difficult for the rear to shake off the constantly harassing archers to support the front, and Tina saw that the opponent's elite Changge began to support, and immediately turned the horse's head, tore a corner of the large shield guard that had just been closed, and led the pikemen to rush out!
The giant crossbow position in the rear did not have the protection of Changge's hand, George immediately launched the flag, and the scimitar knight in the distance rushed into the giant crossbow position after paying a certain amount of casualties, slashed and killed the soldiers who operated the giant crossbow, and saw Changge's hand coming back to help, and immediately rode his horse to withdraw.
Gurus's troops began to be chaotic!, but with the support of the elite troops, they gradually stabilized, and then some of the big shieldmen began to take the lead in covering several giant crossbows to step forward, aiming at the rear of the ancients and starting to fire giant crossbows!
At this time, George saw that there were not many soldiers operating the giant crossbow, so he launched a critical fire arrow and shot the soldier who operated the giant crossbow from a distance.
Then command the longbowmen to block the approach of the opposing soldiers.
But as time passed, the giant crossbows were moved to the front, and George could only lead the longbowmen back.
At this time, under the cover of the giant crossbow, the troops of Gurus began to carry food!
At this time, a slight smile began to appear on George's face, and the moment to eat the other party was about to come!
After the troops carrying the grain from Gurus emptied the first layer of grain, they discovered a fatal problem, the amount of grain was wrong! Then several lieutenants also saw the clue, and in the past, they used their war knives to break open a bag of grain and found that it was wheat husk, and then broke a bag of wheat husk, and then broke a heavy bag, and found that it was sand and soil mixed with wheat husks!
Immediately, the troops were in an uproar, and after a while, everyone knew that they had been deceived! The fort had already run out of food, and it was thought that even if the enemy's granary could not grab the grain used by the army for 10 days, it would be able to grab at least five days. But now some momentum is in vain!
The forward momentum that was not afraid of death suddenly turned into panic and fear, and the soldiers began to flee again and again. Even the elite troops of the Gurus are gradually losing their will and guts!
George sensed the opportunity and whistled loudly. Suddenly all the troops began to counterattack!
The elite troops protected the armor-clad Gurus and began to retreat!
Tina rode out with a thick-backed broadsword and plunged directly into the retreating troops, and began to frantically slash the soldiers in front of him, and the pikerider rode up, crushing the lives of the Gurus troops like a torrent. The Archers and Scimitar Knights, on the other hand, split into small squads to hunt down the fleeing soldiers.
When the Gurus troops were about to approach the city wall, a group of warriors with short staff suddenly appeared, the number was small, but everyone could release the defensive technique, not afraid of arrows, and then collectively released the flame bomb, the short-term flame bomb was like fireworks in the sky, and it was difficult for the elite troops of Gurus to move forward!
The overall situation has been decided! Tina was ruthless, regardless of the injury of the warhorse, she rushed forward frantically, killing through several layers of defense, and finally came to the front of Gurus!
Gurus reflexively drew his sword, and before he could swing it, Tina rushed over and a flash of sword flashed. Gurus's head broke free from the protection of his helmet and flew into the air!
But after a while, everyone froze, because the person wrapped in the armor was not Gurus!
George led his troops to retake the fortress of Amesvalon, and the crescent banner was planted at the head of the city again. George felt sincere admiration for this opponent, he was really cunning! He had been deceived by Gurus many times, but his own scheme was always indirectly broken by Gurus.
Surrounded by himself and under layers of calculations, the golden cicada can still escape from its shell, George finally has a feeling of depression that this person does not get rid of my heart!
