Chapter 297: The Verge

When the siege crossbow and soldiers returned safely above the city wall, Gu Xiuyuan and Kong Yikong threw a smile of admiration at Ling Xia, who had been frowning because of the action of clearing the traps by the Japanese Invaders, but they did not expect that such a tricky matter would be easily resolved in Ling Xia's hands.

Ling Xia not only defused the actions of the Japanese soldiers to clear the trap twice, but also annihilated 30,000 shield soldiers and 100,000 infantry without losing a single soldier on his side, which was unimaginable before, so everyone was convinced of Ling Xia at this time.

Seeing the widows under the city cleaning up the corpses and the shields scattered on the ground, Luzhu Weng breathed a sigh of relief, he praised Ling Xia a few words, and then proposed that everyone go back to the camp tent to eat, and by the way to discuss the next step to meet the enemy, listening to Luzhu Weng say this, everyone found that it was already dark at this time.

Ling Xia and they rushed to the war zone at noon, because of the siege of the city, so they didn't even eat lunch, now that the enemy has retreated, everyone can finally breathe a sigh of relief, after the green bamboo Weng finished speaking, everyone will go back to the camp tent to eat.

"Don't rush back, the enemy seems to be gathering troops, they have mobilized a lot of heavy equipment, catapults, siege crossbows, ladders and shield soldiers, this should be the standard of weapons for siege soldiers." Ling Xia said holding up the binoculars.

"What? Siege soldiers? Do they want to take advantage of the darkness of the night to storm it? Zhen Long, who was originally turning around to go down to the city, hurriedly ran to the city wall to observe the situation on the other side, but because it was too dark, he couldn't see the actions of the other side at all, turned his head to look at Ling Xia, and asked suspiciously: "Brother, can you see the mobilization of troops on the other side?" Why can't I see anything clearly? ”

In fact, not only Zhen Long couldn't see the situation of the Japanese on the other side clearly, but even Gu Xiuyuan and Kong Yikong looked at them for a long time but couldn't see anything clearly, looking at the puzzled expressions in everyone's eyes, Ling Xia handed the far-infrared telescope on his chest to everyone next, and when Zhen Long took the telescope curiously, and looked at the opposite side like Ling Xia, he showed a shocked expression.

With the help of the far-infrared telescope, Zhen Long saw the movement of the Japanese troops on the opposite side clearly, and even the weapons and equipment piled up in front of the Japanese could be seen very clearly, and sure enough, as Ling Xia said, the Japanese army was mobilizing siege soldiers, Zhen Long made a rough inventory, and then told everyone with a shocked face that at least twenty siege corps were assembled on the opposite side, and the entire two group armies were established.

"What? Two armies? Is Gen Yano's crazy? ”

"With so many traps that haven't been cleared, does he want to forcibly attack the city?"

"Two million siege soldiers are dispatched at the same time, this is the rhythm of the whole front."

"Quickly send crossbowmen to the wall to prepare for battle, and fill all the catapults in the war zone with stone bullets."

Hearing the discussion of several military marshals, Ling Xia took back the binoculars and continued to observe the opposite side, at this time, the Japanese side was loading weapons, 15,000 catapults, 200,000 siege crossbows, 600 wall-breaking crossbows, and countless ladders behind them, the entire siege team stretched for dozens of miles after unfolding, looking at this lineup, Ling Xia's heart suddenly sank: "This time it's really troublesome." ”

Needless to say, Ling Xia said that everyone also knew about the trouble, seeing that the other party was preparing to forcibly attack the city, Gu Xiuyuan also sent the defensive troops of the war zone to the city wall, fourteen archer legions, eight siege crossbow legions, five catapult legions, and two strong crossbow legions, which are all the long-range attack troops that can be mobilized in the eastern theater.

The battle flag hunting, the cold wind is dashing, and the air is filled with a solemn and murderous atmosphere, and the offensive and defensive battle between the war zone and the Japanese is about to break out.
