After all, at this time, there is no need to rotate or not, so in order to let the soldiers rest, simply let the city wall out? It doesn't make sense. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Although the defenders who thought they could take a break were very reluctant, they could only bite the bullet and run out of the hidden soldier cave to fight under the obscenity of the officer. I can only admit that I am unlucky, why was I born in this era, why was I arrested and joined the army.

Because the two sides had been in close combat, the stone rain stopped, but the attack power of the arrow tower increased, which made the defenders have to be careful of the sudden sharp arrows when they fought with Zhao Hujun, and the combat effectiveness of the defenders was immediately greatly reduced.

However, due to the disappearance of the stone rain, the bed crossbow began to work, and the means of fire, water, and wood smashed that were used yesterday were also taken out by the defenders. As soon as these tricks came out, although Zhao Hujun still maintained a fierce offensive, the defenders also began to slowly regain the advantage.

"They can't hold it anymore! The whole army presses on! Get these damn guys down! Seeing this, an officer immediately raised his sword and gave the order, loudly boosting morale.

Just as the defending soldiers roared and rushed up under the threat of the officer, as soon as the horn sounded, Zhao Hujun immediately ran down the city tower in a panic, and the siege vehicle and arrow tower also slowly retreated under the explanation of the shield soldiers.

Seeing that the enemy had withdrawn, the defenders all stood on the city wall and cheered, and some of the red-eyed soldiers were even ready to chase down the ladder that had not been moved.

But at this moment, everyone heard a series of whistling sounds in the air, and saw dense black shadows flying towards this direction.

Everyone yelled and scolded: "Here is this trick again!" Then quickly and unhurriedly either ran back to the cave, or hid under the female wall and raised their shields to cover their bodies. It had only been two days, and they had become accustomed to Zhao Hujun's tricks of launching stone rain attacks before and after the attack.

When the crackling sound sounded, many guards were stunned, why did the intensity of the stone rain attack become so small this time? I didn't hear much screaming, and it didn't seem to be a stone, but a broken crockpot.

When everyone looked at it, their faces immediately turned green. Sure enough, there were crockpot fragments everywhere on the castle tower, and they were drenched from the floor to the walls. The rich aroma of oil in the nose made everyone immediately understand what the wet liquid on the wall was!

The officer immediately jumped up frantically and shouted, "Quick! Evacuate! Fast...... Oh no! Looking up and seeing countless fireballs falling from the sky, the officer could only howl in despair.

The roaring flames were accompanied by miserable screams, and the bodies writhing in the flames, turning the castle tower into a living hell in no time. However, Zhao Hujun attacked again when the flames weakened slightly, in line with the idea of taking advantage of his illness to kill him.

In post-battle statistics, the fire alone burned four or five thousand of the defenders to death, and this day's attack was the first time that the defenders had lost several times more casualties than the besieging side.

After finally extinguishing the flames and blocking Zhao Hujun's behavior of taking advantage of the fire to rob, the defending officers hurriedly counted the remaining troops.

Although the fierce battles of these days are also greatly attritional, they can still afford the attrition of one brigade a day.

But today, in the first battle, almost two wings were reduced, and all of them were counted together, and the strength was reduced by one-fifth! If the opponent's strength remains the same, the recruitment of some strong men can still be supported, but don't forget that the other party still has three elite veterans' brigades not coming!

Now that there are only two more brigades and regiments with elite veterans, Li Haoran's troops have become so difficult to fight, if there is one more elite veteran of the division, then the idiots will know how far Li Haoran's combat effectiveness will grow!

"I mean, shouldn't we consider surrendering to the Overseers?" An officer with a cheeky face said with some hesitation.

"Well, it's a sure thing to take refuge with the Overseer, but it's just a matter of being a colonel, and it's going to take more effort for us to climb up than anyone else." Another officer with a loyal face touched his chin and said.

"So what do you say you should do? I'm stupid, anyway, I'm a pioneer general, what do you say I should do, as long as our group can be prosperous and rich! The officer who pushed Li Hui off the city tower said with a straightforward face.

"Damn, who of us brothers doesn't know your details, you stupid? Who are you pretending to be? Say it! Several officers immediately shouted.

The officer didn't refute, but smiled stupidly, touched his head, and said after a while, "I thought we were going to fight a fierce battle, the more tragic and ferocious the better, and the best thing was to fight so that the Overseer would want to eat us alive, so that when we took refuge, the surprised Overseer would definitely not treat us badly!" ”

"Oh, that's a good idea, the enemy who hated him to the bone is suddenly willing to take refuge in himself, and the extremely angry mood suddenly becomes joyful, well, what a trick!" Several officers nodded in agreement.

"Since this is the case, then tomorrow we have to supervise the soldiers, and even use the tactics to boost morale in personal combat." The straight-looking officer said.

"Don't worry, for the glory and wealth of the future, we really dare to fight with our lives!" The officers slapped their chests and shouted assurances.

Early the next morning, the officers immediately went to the castle tower to take a look, and found that the camp outside the city had expanded several times compared with yesterday.

Sure enough, the five brigade flags of the 1st Division were all erected, but what made them most happy was that the flag of the Twentieth Legion and the flag of the Overseer were also erected.

Hey, that's a great opportunity to make a better impression. At the beginning, he was afraid that if the Overseer did not come, the angry Li Haoran would most likely not accept the surrender of his people, but now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

In any case, the Overseers who have been able to achieve such a great fortune would not be reckless and give up a brave warrior like them, right?

When both sides were ready, nearly 100 cavalry of the Zhao Hu Army appeared in front of the formation, and the defenders of course knew that this was a shout that would be necessary after the appearance of the big man, and they all suppressed their murderous intentions, and were a little curious to listen to what the other party would shout.

The nearly 100 cavalry came to a distance of about ten meters from the city wall and lined up, and then shouted in unison: "By the orders of the Overseer! Ordered to immediately open the city and abandon the surrender, which can protect the life and status of the family, and surrender in the event of war to ensure the safety of life, once the city is broken, the whole city will be destroyed! ”

The voice shouted by nearly a hundred strong men at the same time shook the whole city, and the people and soldiers in the city tower were all dumbfounded, while the faces of the officers changed, this is too tough, right? It's like they don't take us seriously.

Seeing the suspicious looks of his colleagues, Officer Nalu couldn't help but smile and reassure: "Don't worry, this is just to scare the people and ordinary soldiers in the city, this trick is very commonly used when attacking the city."

"Actually, if you think about it, if you really want to win, is the Overseer willing to wipe out so many strong men and our excellent officers? Impossible! The Overseer will definitely need these strong men and us to replenish his troops, otherwise when and when will the Overseer's army grow? ”

Hearing this, the officers secretly thought to themselves: That's right, who would waste the strong men who replenished the military strength in vain these years?

What's more, these soldiers under his command are not as simple as strong men, they are all trained ready-made soldiers, and after they are added to the troops, as long as they are slightly reorganized, they can be immediately pulled onto the battlefield and killed them all? Who will?

Thinking of this, the officers immediately settled down again, and hurriedly split up to cheer up the panicked soldiers. He said that the city on his side is high and the walls are thick, the soldiers are large, the food and water are abundant, and he is not afraid of the enemy besieging the city at all, as long as he obeys the order and fights it well, his officers will definitely not be stingy with rewards.

With such a boost to the officers, the morale of the soldiers slowly recovered. They don't know that their immediate superiors are ready to use the lives and blood of their soldiers to decorate the officers' bravery.

As for why didn't the officer say that he was ready to defect to Zhao Hu? It's very simple, this one, are the soldiers still willing to fight? There is no need to fantasize about any brave and good fighting performance, and directly surrender to the matter.

Seeing that the morale of the army had almost stabilized, the officer Nalu Zhi also called a group of strong men with loud voices, lined up on the city tower, and yelled at the nearly 100 cavalry: "Swear not to surrender!" Fight to the death! ”

After shouting several times in succession, the entire city of soldiers and horses shouted along, and the sound was so loud that it could be transmitted directly to the camp outside the city.

Zhao Hu, standing on the high platform in the center of the camp, was wearing a set of close-fitting straight imperial clothes, this kind of general's clothing is not only much higher than the rank of a school officer, but also the silver silk rust decoration on the sleeve collar and trousers is also exquisite, and the shoulder represents the rank of major general, and a silver eagle logo surrounded by silver leaves is so eye-catching.

There is no need for any other decorations, and such a simple military uniform can give people a gorgeous feeling.

But it's no wonder that this military uniform was designed by top designers such as countless geniuses and geeks during the most powerful period of the empire's founding in the nearly 1,000 years since its founding, and it can be said that it gathers the most outstanding art of clothing design in the heyday of the empire.

Seeing that the nearly 100 cavalry on his side turned around and left without saying a word, Zhao Hu shook his head helplessly, waved his hand, and a loud horn sounded, and a new round of war began.
