Chapter 187: Defensive Counterattack
"Brother Zhao, I've killed six enemies!" On the city wall, Li Sigou slashed at a Shanyue warrior who had finally climbed up, listening to the long screams made by the other party when he fell off the city wall, with a little excitement on his face.
"You kid is good, you can have this performance in the first battle, if you kill a few more, then you can become a squad leader with your accumulated military merits!" Zhao Meng praised while killing the enemy soldiers who climbed up from time to time.
"Hehe, when the time comes, I will be at the same level as Brother Zhao, and I will be able to bring some people under my hands in the future!" Li Sigou said with a smile.
"You think beautifully, if I don't die after this war, I will also be promoted, and you will still be my subordinate at that time!" Zhao Meng scolded with a smile. Because this time it was a siege battle, the military feats were indeed much easier than usual, and a recruit like Li Sigou who had never been on the battlefield could kill six enemies, not to mention him, and he would definitely be able to mix with a centurion when he went back.
"Hehe, as long as I can be promoted anyway, then I can go home beautifully!" Li Sigou didn't care at all, but said very happily, with his civilian background, it would be good if he mixed up with a small army commander in the army.
"Don't be happy too early, you have to live before you can be promoted!" Seeing Li Sigou's seemingly slightly proud appearance, Zhao Meng wanted to pour cold water on him to calm him down, but before he finished speaking, he found that Li Sigou had a Shanyue leader who was obviously dressed differently from ordinary Shanyue soldiers rushing over here, and hurriedly reminded: "Be careful, there are enemy troops coming over there, it seems to be a foreign general!" ”
"Huh?" Li Sigou turned his head to look, and sure enough, he found that not far from him, there was a general of the Shanyue tribe wearing precious armor who was running towards him quickly, but the leader of the Shanyue tribe seemed to be injured, and bright red blood oozed from his body from time to time.
"Kill him!" Behind the Shanyue general, a bunch of Han soldiers were chasing after him, and the chaotic shouts of killing were also heard through the breeze.
"Kill!" Seeing that his companions were chasing and killing this Shanyue general, Li Sigou didn't think so much in his mind, and he stopped in front of the Shanyue general and slashed over.
"Get out!" Although the general of the Shanyue tribe was not lightly injured, he was extremely fierce, and with a wave of his hand, he used the weapon in his hand to block Li Sigou's hard blow, and then with a slight effort, Li Sigou's whole person was knocked out, and he hit the city wall, life and death are unknown, leaving only a pool of blood on the city wall.
"Uncle Day, you dog mountain more beast, brothers follow me!" Seeing that his soldiers were put down with a single move, Zhao Meng was furious, and beckoned his limited dozen brothers to surround the general of the Shanyue tribe.
"The pawn dares to stop me!" Seeing that there were more than a dozen Han soldiers slashing at him in front of him, Na Tulu's face showed contempt, and he was about to raise his double swords to kill the Han army in front of him, but when he just made a move, his face suddenly turned white, and the qi that was originally raised was actually slow for a moment.
It turned out that he had just been injured by Ling Cao's knife, and after dozens of breaths of rapid running, the blood in his body rushed out of his body along the wound, and at this time he had lost a lot of blood, and his combat power in all aspects naturally declined seriously.
"Woohoo!" Zhao Meng and his brothers didn't care so much, they raised the standard weapons of the Han army in their hands one after another, and formed a battle formation that had been trained for a long time on weekdays to greet Natulu to death.
"Bastard!" Natulu hurriedly blocked the attack from all sides, and the aggrieved ones were going crazy, if he was not injured, he would definitely kill these Han soldiers one by one, but he didn't expect that now he was actually dragged by these Han soldiers, and what is even worse is that there is a general of the Han army firmly following him behind.
"Get out of here!" The extremely anxious Natulu was very manic, and there was a burst of slashing on the Han army surrounding him, but it was in vain, the Han people's military formation that has been recorded since the pre-Qin period is not in vain, especially with Zhao Meng, a veteran who has been on the battlefield several times, is a very tacit understanding that the military formation gathered by this small group of people is very tacit, and at this moment the seriously injured Natulu was trapped to death.
"Haha, the brothers did a good job, let me cut him, and the credit will be yours when the time comes!" At this time, Ling Cao finally arrived, and saw that the Shanyue clan general on the other side was actually dragged by the soldiers on the other side, and rushed over with laughter.
"Thank you, General!" After this battle, Zhao Meng also knew in his heart that the general of the Shanyue clan in front of him was difficult to deal with for a pawn like himself, even if the other party was injured, and at this moment, he heard that the general on his side said that he would share a credit with his brothers, and immediately retreated with more than a dozen soldiers under his command to make room for his general.
"Suffer death!" Ling Cao rushed into the battle circle, facing Natulu is a fierce attack, and the result was a foregone conclusion at this time, under Ling Cao's attack, the injured Natulu finally failed to escape, and after barely resisting for a while, the first warrior of the Shanyue clan was cut off by Ling Cao.
As the first warrior of the Shanyue tribe, Natulu is usually the idol in the hearts of many Shanyue warriors, and his fall is undoubtedly a serious blow to the morale of the Shanyue tribe, although this has a lot to do with Natulu being isolated by the Han army in the city, but the soldiers don't care about those messy reasons, the only thought in their hearts is that the gods of war in their own clan have been killed, so how strong will the combat power of these Han troops be, not to mention, there is a non-human general among the Han people who is sitting in the center of the city wall.
After the big leader of the Shanyue tribe found out about this situation, he felt that there was really no possibility of going down to the city today, and finally blew the horn of Mingjin to withdraw the troops, and temporarily retreated.
"These aliens, the time to collect troops today is earlier than a few days ago!" When guarding the city, Gan Ning had been sitting in the center of the city wall, and when he saw the mountain retreating, he looked up at the sky and felt a little strange.
"Just now from the city wall on the right, there were strange screams of those aliens, and then the morale of these aliens seems to have dropped a lot, this should be a powerful person in their clan who was killed in this battle!" Lu Su smiled lightly. Although I don't know anything about these aliens, and I don't know the language, as long as I pay a little attention to it, I can still know the truth of some things.
"Just ask a captive!"
Gan Ning summoned the colonel who passed the order on the side, and after some tossing, he got an accurate answer, just as Lu Su said, in today's siege battle, the first warrior of the Shanyue clan was killed by Ling Cao, so Shanyue collected his troops in advance today.
"Cut, there are really no outstanding people among these alien races, and the so-called number one warrior would die so easily!" Gan Ning, who learned the truth, was very disdainful, he knew Ling Cao's level, he could only say that he could barely do it, he was a second-rate character, but he killed the first warrior of the Shanyue clan, which shows how much water this first warrior of the alien race has.
"Haha, this Shanyue clan is too small, it can't be compared with our Han Dynasty in all aspects, naturally there are no heroes, and it is not surprising that they were killed by General Ling, but after today's battle, I think these Shanyue tribes should not see any hope of breaking through the city, and they must be retreating in a few days!" Lu Su said with a smile. Now, the army of 120,000 Shanyue tribes, now there are only more than 70,000 people dead, but the losses are very small, plus Shanyue has broken the general today, as long as the leader of the Shanyue tribe is not a pig, he should be thinking of a way out.
"These alien races are really too weak, and I haven't dispatched the five thousand divine guards assigned to me by the lord!" Gan Ning said disdainfully. At the beginning of the battle, he was still very careful, and did not let the Divine Guards come out directly to defend the city, but used the Divine Guards as a backup, hoping to make these top soldiers play a role at a critical moment, but he didn't expect that these alien races were so weak that they didn't even have the qualifications to force the Divine Guards out, which really disappointed him.
"Shanyue is not strong, in my Han Dynasty for hundreds of years, every time they invaded, they always ransacked and ran, and they didn't dare to confront our large-scale Han army at all, and this time they forcibly attacked the city, probably because they were short of food but they couldn't loot anything and were unwilling, but this time they are destined to pay the most painful price, we are not people who are only beaten and do not fight back!" Lu Su said lightly.
"Oh? The military advisor means that we should fight back, why don't we go and rob the camp tonight? It's time to expand the results of the battle! Gan Ning said with great interest.
"The general's proposal is quite good, but if there is no accident in this battle, we are already sure to win, and Lu feels that there is no need to take this risk!" Lu Su smiled and shook his head.
"What are the plans of the military advisor?" Gan Ning asked.
"It's still to defend the city, until they take the initiative to retreat, it should be the work of the past few days!" Lu Su said.
"This, didn't the military advisor still say that he was going to fight back before?" Gan Ning was stunned.
"It's going to fight back, but this time you have to be stationed at Six? General Huang of Hexian County and General Zhou of Jinshan County cooperated! Lu Su said softly.
"I understand, does the military advisor want Huang Zhong and Zhou Tai to lead the six? Some of the defenders of Hehe Jinshan County set up an ambush, and after these Shanyue tribes retreated, they would kill them together on their back road, plus the main force of our Longping City, which was to attack from three sides, in this way, the Shanyue army, which was already frustrated in front of our city, would be hit like never before. Gan Ning thought about it for a while, and immediately understood Lu Su's intentions.
"That's right, if this method can be operated properly, it is not impossible to completely annihilate these alien races!" Lu Su said with a hint of coldness in his eyes, he is a gentleman, but only to treat his own clan, and the Shanyue tribe, which has existed as a poisonous sore of the Han people for a long time, obviously will not let Lu Su have any pity.
"I'll go write a letter to the two of them at once!" Gan Ning showed a look of anticipation and left in a hurry
