Chapter Ninety-Nine: The Willow Camp Arrives
In the camp of the Battle Spirit Guild coalition army, Wu Sangui's face was not very good-looking, and the five hundred cavalry lost nearly one-fifth, and they failed to prevent Zhou Yafu's reinforcements from entering Xueyue Town.
Xueyue Town, which was defended by Zhou Yafu, was even more watertight, and several attacks launched by the War Spirit Guild were repulsed.
The lords of the Battle Spirit Guild were originally full of confidence, but with the defeat, their morale has declined, and they have become timid.
"Well, let's retreat for now."
The lords of the Seventeen Towns of the Battle Soul Guild retreated, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Xiaobai.
Qi Xiaobai faced a tricky situation and paced uneasily, weighing the gains and losses.
"You can't retreat, you can only attack!"
Wu Sangui stood up for the main battle.
"Why?"
"You have poured all the troops of the town to attack the enemy, and if you don't defeat the other party in one go, you will turn the offensive into a defensive position, and be passive everywhere!"
Wu Sangui firmly fought the main battle.
"You're just a general, and it's our president who really makes the decision."
Some lords saw that Wu Sangui, who was a military general, was in opposition to them, and they were immediately unhappy.
Although the other party was a historical general, none of the lords present were willing to admit that they were inferior to Wu Sangui. In the eyes of the lords, Wu Sangui only had high panel attributes, and his intelligence was not necessarily higher than them.
Wu Sangui was reprimanded by the other lords, and his face was gloomy for three points.
When the war was going well, the lords sought after him, and when the war reached a stalemate, they questioned his abilities.
Qi Xiaobai found that Wu Sangui's loyalty had declined, and hurriedly said: "General Wu judged the situation and made such a judgment. Now that we've all made a feud with the Wolf Guild, we must defeat them. General Wu, this time you are still the siege commander, and for the last strong attack, you must capture Xueyue Town. ”
"Yes!"
Wu Sangui organized all the forces of the Battle Spirit Guild and launched a final offensive.
Qi Xiaobai, as the lord of Wu Sangui, was in an extremely complicated mood when he faced this general. Wu Sangui's biggest problem is not his ability, but his character, his loyalty fluctuates, and it is a huge challenge for the lord to control such subordinates.
"In the final analysis, Wu Sangui is useless, if it is Han Xin, Bai Qi, and Li Jing, they can also win by commanding low-level troops."
"Han Xin, they are powerful, but no one has recruited them at all now. Wu Sangui is already a first-class commander, but he has not been able to capture the opponent's town, so it can only be said that the other party has made all preparations to defend the city, and may even have historical generals. ”
Qi Xiaobai didn't want to recruit Han Xin, Wu Qi and the like, so there was no need to use the unreliable Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui was still quite brave in the battle, and once again led the cloud echelon to attack Xueyue Town.
Arrows are flying on the battlefield, and even heavy infantry can be hit by arrows and be killed instantly.
The Battle Spirit Guild's offensive was at a fever pitch, and this time there were at least a few hundred casualties in the siege, and both sides realized what that meant.
If Xueyue Town is captured, then the northern part of Kaiyang County will become the territory of the War Spirit Guild.
On the contrary, if such a fierce offensive is not able to capture Snow Moon Town, the besieging side will be declared defeated and the attack and defense will change positions.
Zhou Yafu served as the commander of the city, with the bonus of high-grade rammed earth walls and Zhou Yafu's A-level characteristic "Fortification", Xueyue Town was impregnable, and Wu Sangui was never able to break it.
Wu Sangui was very depressed, his bonus to the army was not bad, why was the defense on the opposite side so tight? Moreover, the casualty rate of the defenders was not high, but the besieging side suffered numerous casualties.
The only variable is Wu Sangui, who can use his personal force to break through the narrow terrain of the city wall. However, Zhou Yafu and Xue Yue already knew that one of the generals among the enemy was not low in force, so they dispatched crossbowmen to target Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui's armor and temperament were very different from those of other small soldiers, and when Wu Sangui led the infantry to climb the city wall, dozens of crossbow arrows were fired at Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui used the Yanling knife to block the crossbow arrows, and two light infantry around him were directly killed by the random arrows.
"Hmm......"
An arrow hit Wu Sangui's shoulder armor, and Wu Sangui let out a muffled snort. He gritted his teeth and looked above the city wall, where an armored general was bending his bow and preparing to shoot a second arrow.
Wu Sangui immediately used his shield to block the direction of the arrows, and the sharp arrows were inserted into the shield, making the shield look like a hedgehog.
"This person's force is really extraordinary, and he is a fierce general."
Zhou Yafu found that he couldn't use a longbow to shoot Wu Sangui, and it could be inferred that in terms of pure force, the other party should be above him.
Although it was difficult to shoot Wu Sangui, the continuous rain of arrows added a lot of trouble to Wu Sangui, and Wu Sangui had to break the rain of arrows if he wanted to enter the city.
In addition to the rain of arrows, he also had to dodge flying stones, fire oil, cold water, and yakshas, and even if he barely made it to the city, the defenders would use spears to drive them out.
Wu Sangui had no choice, only by attacking could he take this town as soon as possible and show his strength to the lords of the Battle Soul Guild.
……
The two sides of the battlefield in Snow Moon Town were in a stalemate, and to the south of Snow Moon Town, Chu Tian, the lord of Xia Town, quietly approached the battlefield with his follow-up troops.
The follow-up troops included 500 infantry and 200 light cavalry!
The reason why it is quietly approaching is because it ...... A muffled voice is the only way to make a fortune.
"The scouts in front have reported that they have found a large enemy camp, three kilometers away from us."
Mulan's cavalry came back to report.
"Good."
Chu Tian rubbed his hands excitedly and plunged straight into the enemy camp from the rear, this time he wanted to surprise the Battle Soul Guild.
Hua Mulan asked: "How does the lord plan to act?" ”
"You lead the light cavalry back to the north, wait for the Hosoliu battalion to attack from the front, hear the shouts of killing, and carry out a flanking attack."
"Yes!"
Two hundred light cavalry broke away from the main force and made a detour using the mobility of the light cavalry.
Chutian used a silver-level infantry general, Chen Dao, to take over from Zhou Yafu and temporarily command the Xiliu Battalion.
[Name]: Chen Dao
[Talent]: Silver (Normal Hero)
[Level]: 41
[Identity]: Yunlai Town hero, uneven
[Commander]: 42 [Force]: 47 [Intelligence]: 37 [Politics]: 21 [Charisma]: 71
[Trait]: Majestic S (D-rank trait, when engaged, the enemy's morale decreases slightly)
This is just an ordinary hero, Chu Tian saw that his characteristics were good, and he was somewhat similar to Zhang Liao's characteristics, so he appointed him as the deputy general of the infantry and temporarily commanded the Xiliu battalion.
Zhou Yafu was trapped in Xueyue Town, and the Xiliu Battalion did not have Zhou Yafu's bonus, but just the attributes of the sixth-order troops themselves were already very strong, and any general could exert their basic abilities.
Chu Tian ordered Chen Dao to the front to lead the Xiliu battalion to carry out an assault.
The Xiliu Battalion is a special branch of the Western Han Dynasty, well-equipped, and holds a 2.3-meter-long iron halberd. The fifty infantry of the Xiliu Battalion standing at the forefront were equipped with the Han Xuan iron armor that Chu Tian had spent a lot of silver taels to build, and had strong defensive power. The infantry of the Hosoliu battalion in the rear removed the infantry crossbow and provided long-range support.
Hosoyanagi reached for the other party's camp......
