Chapter 488: Is it really okay for the soldiers to go back to the city to catch up on sleep

[Today is still the third watch, this is the first change]

……

The Holy Light Alliance's siege artillery was finally erected, and a deafening roar began to erupt.

As if it had been agreed to give Li Qing a dismount, the first speech of dozens of heavy artillery pieces of the coalition army was all aimed at the enemy platform where Li Qing and others were located. Dozens of shells pierced through the smoke of gunpowder and roared towards the enemy platform like a swarm of blazing meteors.

Faced with the salvo of dozens of heavy artillery, Li Qing was not moved at all.

During the Battle of Nakayama Island, any of the main battleships of the Amaterasu fleet had more than 50 heavy guns.

The entire fleet was able to project more than a thousand shells in one salvo.

If the land battlefield is crowded with people, and it is a big scene that the navy cannot compare, then the fleet ensemble of the naval fleet is a big deal that the army cannot catch up with.

Li Qing, who had experienced the battle of Zhongshan Island and seen the salvo of the Amaterasu naval fleet, did not pay attention to the dozens of heavy artillery pieces of the Holy Light Alliance Army under the city at all. Not only was he unmoved, but even Scarlett, Ni Yuanyuan, and Song Qiqi were indifferent.

Song Qiqi was even chatting with Scarlett: "Xiao Si, do you guess how many shells can hit the enemy platform?" ”

"One." Scarlett said firmly.

"One?" Song Qiqi was surprised: "So sure? ”

Scarlett pointed to her eyes, "I'm a High Elf bloodline. The High Elves are natural marksmen, how can a marksman have bad eyesight? ”

As the two spoke, dozens of shells fell on the city wall near the enemy's platform, smashing a heavy muffled sound, splashing pieces of fine stone powder, leaving shallow pits on the wall. After that, they bounced off and fell under the city.

Only one cannonball with good luck flew up to the enemy platform, but not a single one hit, and after hitting the ground, it bounced twice, and Gu Lulu rolled to the feet of the little dragon girl.

"Sure enough, there was only one. It's also empty. Song Qiqi shrugged: "This hit is really sad." ”

"Not to mention the low hit rate, it can't hit the city wall at all." Scarlett said: "When the cannonball hit the wall just now, I didn't even feel a vibration under my feet at all. ”

"With the sturdiness of the city wall, let go and let the artillery of the Holy Light Alliance bombard, fight for a whole year, and don't think about destroying the city." The little dragon girl leaned over and picked up the cannonball, flipped it casually, and said, "The artillery of the Holy Light Alliance can only be used to suppress the firepower of our city head a little. But they shoot from the bottom up, and the head is pitifully low, and there is no need to count on the suppression effect. ”

With that, she threw the cannonball high, jumped slightly, rose to her feet, swept with one kick, and came with a beautiful volley.

The instep of the foot was drawn against the cannonball, and there was a loud thud. The cannonball flew down the wall at a faster speed than it had come, flying over a distance of nearly a kilometer, and hit a shield cart of the Holy Light Alliance's vanguards.

With a loud bang, the large shield cart made of thick logs with sandbags attached to the front of the cannonball was torn apart. Half of the crossbowmen who were hiding behind the shield cart died on the spot, and the rest who were not dead were all covered in the face with splattered pieces of wood, and they were rolling and wailing with blood.

"Good!" Song Qiqi slapped her face violently, and shouted with her eyebrows: "Cousin is so good!" ”

The artillerymen, gunners, and guards on the enemy platform also applauded.

Li Qing slapped his face twice, and then whispered: "Take it easy, Long'er, remember to hide your strength." The hand you just now is already completely a means of the Zhu Guo. ”

"......On a whim," the little dragon girl smiled embarrassedly.

"Forget it, it's not a big deal to show your hands a little." Li Qing thought for a while, and then said: "If you don't show the means at all, it will be too fake." Such a majestic pass, there are few strong people in the pillar country to guard it, and no one will believe it if it is changed. But don't expose unconventional means. ”

Li Qing's so-called "unconventional means" obviously referred to Xiaolongnu's Thunder Thunder Green Dragon Halberd, as well as her ability to summon the Thunder Thunder Green Dragon.

However, this is not practical for him to remind, even if the little dragon girl rises, she will not expose her killer skills lightly.

"I'll go down and rest." After watching for a while, seeing that the vanguard army of the Holy Light Alliance was still a kilometer away from the hillside down the city, Li Qing felt that it was not interesting to stand here and watch, so he prepared to go down and rest.

"Is there any mistake?" Song Qiqi was surprised: "As the supreme commander, the enemy is currently in the city, and the soldiers are coming to the city, you actually want to go back and rest?" Is it good to be strict? ”

"Heh, don't worry, it's okay." Li Qing said with a smile: "Long'er has already exposed the methods of the Zhu Guo, so stay here and help me take a look." Well, Xiao Si also showed his archery skills yesterday, so let's stay with Long'er. Kiki, you stay with your cousin too, and everyone else comes with me. ”

With that, he handed the iron folding bow to Scarlett, called the herald, and ordered: "Go and inform the commanders, just say that the general didn't sleep well last night, and go back to make up for sleep." As long as the enemy does not climb the top of the city, do not disturb the general's rest. Go ahead! ”

After sending away the heralds, Li Qing really left the enemy platform with Ni Yuanyuan, Chu Lingfeng, and Flora.

"He's really gone......" Watching Li Qingyang walk away, Song Qiqi was surprised: "What is this?" At the moment of the great enemy, it would be too childish for him to do this, right? ”

"It's fine." Xiaolongnu understood Li Qing's approach, and said with a smile: "Qiqi, don't worry, Li Qing is measured, and he can't make a mistake." ”

Scarlett also said: "I believe Li Qing won't be joking, he must have his reasons for doing this." ”

"I hope so......" Song Qiqi muttered in disbelief.

Ni Yuanyuan, who was walking under the city wall with Li Qing, was also asking Li Qing at this time: "Xiao Qingzi, what are you talking about?" At the moment of the great enemy, you, as the supreme commander, left the command post and went back to sleep, this is ...... That's too much, isn't it? ”

"It's okay, Sister Yuanyuan." Li Qing said with a smile: "After all, it's just a battle to defend the city, the defense area has been divided, and the commanders of all units of the mixed corps have also experienced a hundred battles, and they all know what to do, with or without me as the commander-in-chief, in fact, it's all the same." I'm standing on the wall, and I'm just a mascot. Besides, isn't there a dragon watching for me? ”

"Even if you don't need specific commands, you can stand in the most conspicuous position at the head of the city and smile calmly at thousands of troops, at least you can boost morale, right?"

Li Qing smiled: "Sister Ni, don't worry!" This mixed army under my command is a sworn enemy of the Radiant Holy Sect, the most hardcore and staunch opponent of the Holy Light Alliance. Unlike those servants who came from the small countries around the empire and were converted from captivity, they were originally far away in the western world, fleeing and fighting all the way, and went through a lot of hardships to reach the empire, and their will was tempered to be indestructible. With me, their morale won't be much higher. I'm not here, and their morale won't be lowered because of this. ”

Just as Li Qing was explaining to Ni Yuanyuan, the commanders of the various units of the mixed corps also received a notice from the heralds.

To this, they all reacted calmly.

After receiving the notification, the commander of the Tailong Heavy Infantry Regiment, Solin Mosa, said lightly: "Oh, got it. After that, he casually raised a telescope and continued to observe the enemy.

When the commander of the Celtic longbowmen received the notice, he only nodded silently and did not even say a word.

After receiving the notification, the commander of the Hult crossbowman blinked twice and said, "Your Excellency the General has really worked hard! Please tell Your Excellency the General, please rest well, as long as our glorious Hult crossbowmen are present, not a single member of the Holy Light Alliance will try to climb the city. ”

The commander of the Montenegrin Mountain Infantry and the commander of the Fontaine Dew Formation Corps also reacted calmly.

As for the eight hundred wolf riders of the Wood Ray Division...... They are cavalry, and they will go out of the city to counterattack when necessary, and they will not have to participate in the defense of the city, and they are recuperating in the barracks of the city.

The evil goddess Ellie Jie and her six hundred Deadpools, as strange soldiers who are more suitable for night battles and melees, are also recuperating in the barracks at this time. Ellie, who personally led the night patrol last night, was sleeping at this time......

The reaction of the commanders of the various units did not surprise Li Qing. He left the city without any effect on his morale. But his move sent a wrong signal to Viscount Tullock, the commander of the Holy Light Alliance.

"When he was fired by heavy artillery salvo before, he was as if nothing happened, and I thought that he was not an ordinary second ancestor, and his psychological elements were extremely strong. Now it seems that when the heavy artillery salvo was fired just now, he was clearly scared stupid. ”

Viscount Turlock had been looking at the city with a telescope.

The focus of observation was naturally the enemy station where Li Qing and others were located.

When he saw that Li Qing and the others were indifferent when the heavy artillery fired a salvo, Tullock also thought about whether to change his evaluation of Li Qing and the others. But at this time, when he saw Li Qing hurriedly descending the enemy platform with two maids, leaving only Xiaolongnu, Song Qiqi, and Scarlett, Tullock once again confirmed his previous evaluation of Li Qing.

"Looks like I'm not mistaken. The so-called Imperial General is clearly a coward. Seeing that the heavy artillery had been able to hit the city, and seeing that the vanguard army was less than a kilometer away from the city wall, he was frightened and left his post. ”

Tullock chuckled disdainfully, and secretly thought: "But that female major general seems to have some real skills." A kick flew a shell, flew over a kilometer, and smashed a heavy shield vehicle, causing more than a dozen casualties...... This strength is already at the level of a high-level warrior. With the power grading system of the empire, it is a strong man at the level of the pillar country.

"However, even if he is a pillar country-level powerhouse, to become a general at such a young age, he must be from a big family. Although his personal strength is good, he may not have much military talent. Besides, such an important checkpoint, without a few pillar country-level powerhouses guarding it, it really can't be said. Hmm, a female general at the level of a pillar country, and a sharpshooter......"

He pointed the telescope lens at Scarlett, who was carrying a folding bow with an iron on her back: "This is the sharpshooter who shot fifteen of our officers in one go last night, causing the army of 5,000 servants I sent to test collapsed...... The strength of this sharpshooter is indeed good, and her bow also seems to be a powerful magic weapon...... However, how much role can a mere archer play in a big war? Now that we know your existence, how can our important people not be on guard? ”

Tullock secretly assessed the high-level strength of the Imperial side, and felt that it had not exceeded his previous expectations, so he immediately put down the telescope disapprerovitously.
