Chapter 224: The Wolf Is Coming
Compared with the east of the city, the siege of the south of the city is also in full swing, Yu Wenchao's ability to lead troops is among the best in the territory, although there are not many soldiers besieging the city, but under his command, part of the expeditionary force has climbed the city wall, and the defenders are fighting fiercely.
The defense of the east and south walls of the Mountain God Guild is urgent, and these two places are the main attack direction of the expeditionary force, with more and more soldiers from Feitian City, even if it relies on the three-zhang high city wall, the Mountain God Guild also feels a huge defensive pressure, and the defending side actually has greater casualties than the besieging side.
In order to prevent the two city walls from being occupied at the same time, the head of the Mountain God Guild had to transfer the Yellow Turban Army from the city's military camp to the southeast city in advance to wait, in case of unexpected accidents.
Zang Ba's siege strategy is to encircle three and lack one, except for the north of the city did not send people to attack the city, the other three sides have at least tens of thousands of troops to attack the city, but the west of the city is different, 50,000 soldiers are two miles away, just there loud drums. At first, the defenders of the Mountain God Guild thought that this was a small but very elite force, so they left 200,000 defenders on the western wall. With the other two places in the midst of fierce battles, but there was no movement here, just drumming and posing as if I was going to attack, the high-level of the Mountain God Guild couldn't help but wonder if this was a suspicious soldier, and deliberately sent 50,000 weaker player soldiers to bluff here to hold back the 200,000 defenders.
However, they still have a sense of vigilance, and they did not withdraw part of the 200,000 defenders because the expeditionary force did not attack, and even the two special generals were still there, but most of the Yellow Turban troops in the barracks were transferred to the southeast urban area, and there were very few Yellow Turban troops left in the barracks.
Sun Ping, the head of the Heavenly Absolute Legion, and Chen Lang, the deputy head of the Blood Wolf Legion, the two legion leaders were waiting for the orders brought by the herald at this time. Zang Ba still uses the strategy of encircling three and missing one, but it is different from the focus of Chen Lang and Yuwenchao, first Zang Ba and Yuwenchao attacked on the east and south sides of the city, attracting all the attention of the defenders, even if the defenders in the west of the city are not mobilized, there are not many reinforcements left behind them, once there is an accident on the west wall, I am afraid it will be difficult to rescue.
When the siege of Zang Ba and Yu Wenchao entered the white-hot stage, Sun Ping received an order for their two legions to attack immediately, and the sooner they took the city wall, the better.
After receiving this order, Chen Lang was so happy that he was relieved, as a deputy regiment commander and emperor-level general, at first he could only watch the two regiment commanders fighting, while he himself could only wait, which really made him unbearable. Sun Ping, Chen Lang and Zang Ba and Yu Wenchao are different, Zang Ba and Yu Wenchao are generals, although they are both emperor-level military generals, they must be responsible for commanding the whole army, and they cannot fight on the battlefield in person, otherwise it is difficult to command the whole army to fight.
But Sun Ping and Chen Lang are different, in order to occupy the city wall as soon as possible, they can fight in person. Moreover, there are not many defenders on the west side of the city, so it is only necessary to let the soldiers under his command carry out the siege plan prepared in advance, and the two army commanders will act as pawns this time.
On the west city wall, the defenders of the Mountain God Guild looked listlessly at the expeditionary force under the city, and there was already a strange feeling that they were marching with drums, and when they marched by drums for the first time, the defenders on their city walls were so nervous that they were afraid that this was the elite army of Feitian City, but the sword and shield soldiers of the people slowly carried the siege ladder to three or four hundred meters away from the city wall to stop and watch, and after a while, they retreated... Backed away.
The defenders reacted, of course, dumbfounded, and it didn't take long for them to come again, but each time they got closer to the walls. After repeating this two or three times, the defenders didn't bother to pay attention to the expeditionary force, as long as they did not come close to the two hundred meters of the city wall, except for the archers, who needed to pay attention, the other defenders wanted to lie down and rest for a while.
This time, the expeditionary force in the west of the city attacked as usual, and it was exactly the same as the previous times, and even the soldiers and horses sent did not change, but the speed of its advance was a little slower, and it seemed that its morale was affected. When the swords and shields of the expeditionary force came to a distance of three hundred meters with a siege ladder, the archers on the city walls were vigilant, and they were organized to line up, ready to shoot arrows at any time.
When the sword and shield soldiers came to the two hundred meters, the originally slow marching speed actually increased the pace at this moment, and the buffer during the period from walking to sprinting with all their strength was no more than three seconds. The defenders of the city were a little panicked, and one of the player generals hurriedly ordered the archers to shoot arrows to slow down their attack, and the other defenders quickly picked up their spirits and came to defend.
But they still underestimated the strength of the soldiers of Feitian City, the fourth-order or fifth-order archers could shoot arrows on the three-zhang high city wall, and the range could reach a range of one hundred and fifty meters, so they also ordered the arrows to be released when the expeditionary force was almost one hundred and fifty meters, but the sword and shield soldiers suddenly charged to avoid this round of shooting, and before the second round of archery came, they had already charged to a distance of one hundred meters.
Now a fool knew that the expeditionary force really attacked, and some of the defenders who were already resting under the female wall hurriedly got up, holding the generals in their hands and preparing to stab the enemy troops besieging the city. Although the effect of this wolf story is not so significant, it is obvious that the other party's generals are prepared, but as long as the defenders' response speed is a little slower, it has already met the expectations of Sun Ping and Chen Lang.
Several siege ladders were set up on the female wall, and the players on the city wall pinched the sweat in their hands, but they were thinking about the scene like the soldiers defending the city on the silver screen smashing the besieging soldiers down with stones or wood, even if it is rumored that the soldiers of the flying city are ten of them each, but in the siege battle, a stone is smashed down, who will roll down differently?
However, there are really people in the game who will not be smashed down by stones, Chen Lang does not have any shield in his hand, only holds his weapon, as the first siege commander, he jumps on the siege ladder as if he has opened a hanging, just like a light skill in the martial arts world, and he climbed the city wall in three or four steps. And those rolling down wood, rolling stones, and flying arrows were either avoided by him just right, or the big knife in his hand shot them down, and he could even use internal strength to shake the arrows down, but this consumption would be larger.
Sun Ping is only a king-level peak general, many grades worse than Chen Lang's emperor-level peak strength, but he is good at long-range attacks, and can launch attacks at the foot of the wall to consume the defenders on the wall.
I saw Sun Ping take out a fiery red longbow, this is a platinum-level bow and flame bow, which is basically the highest level weapon that players can get at this stage. Sun Ping pulled the bow and drew the string, a plain and innocent arrow shot at the phalanx of archers on the city wall, at the moment of reaching the target, the whole arrow suddenly burst into a burst of flames, everything within the range of 6 * 6 meters was instantly engulfed by the fire, and then there were sparks splashed from the center, with the internal strength of the king-level military general as an introduction, the fire burned as soon as it was touched, and the soldiers who were not strong-willed were burned all over the ground.
Sun Ping's skill is a unique skill of the Flame Bow, but after the strengthening of the king-level generals, the power and range have been greatly improved, the key is whether this fire will be extinguished by itself for a while and a half, unless the defenders put out the fire with water, fire and earth, or Sun Ping himself chooses to extinguish it. Taking advantage of this chaos in the city, the rhythm of the archers was greatly disrupted, and the archers of the Heavenly Absolute Legion were also in place at this time, and Sun Ping followed Chen Lang's steps and climbed the city wall from another siege ladder. Even if he is a king-level general who is good at using a bow, it doesn't mean that he can't do melee combat, and a king-level military general still has the strength he should have, but in close combat, there is no king-level mastery bonus.
The two army commanders of one king and one emperor shot together, and it just so happened that the two special generals of the Mountain God Guild just arrived here, and the two of them originally thought that coming here could help the defenders relieve the defensive pressure, after all, they heard that the east side of the city quickly broke through the defense line because the other party sent a number of special generals. With the experience of the past, they came to this section of the city wall, and before they could play their role with a knife on the ground, they were approached by Chen Lang.
In the face of the emperor-level generals who deliberately conceal their strength, the super-level generals can't see the depth of their strength, just like Wang Yue's promotion to a saint-level general, but there is no difference between him and an ordinary young man, but the emperor-level generals can see the strength under the king-level generals at a glance. Chen Lang knew that he had met a super-level general, so he didn't need to say much, so he rushed over directly and ended the life of the super-level military general with a single sword, and he quickly put it into his backpack when he broke out a super-grade internal martial arts method. And another special-grade military general was found by Sun Ping, and an arrow shot into the center from a distance, and a super-level military general was gone.
If it is said that in the "real world", the major forces need some historical generals as their high-end forces, then ordinary king-level generals can only be regarded as unknown generals or generals of a certain road, and those below the king-level generals are generally used as commanders, centurions, ten-commanders and other positions. Before other players' forces did not have historical generals or king-level generals, encountering a perverted force like Feitian City was basically crushed from all sides.
There are two legion commanders to open the way above, several special generals follow closely, and under the city are 50,000 soldiers of Flying Sky City, the speed of the fall of the western city wall should not be too fast, especially when the 10,000 seventh-order soldiers and 10,000 eighth-order soldiers of the Heavenly Absolute Legion are there, a full 20,000 archers or crossbowmen can cause huge damage to the defenders. And the crossbowmen have not yet shown their real strength, they only use the fifth-level dragon tongue bow, but in this case, the dragon tongue bow is better than the crossbow, mainly to quickly kill the local living force, the speed of the crossbow is too slow, and the shooting of small soldiers is too good.
What the president never expected was that he was working hard to command the defenders in the east of the city, but he was attacked by someone on Chrysanthemum's location, and when the news reached his ears, the western city wall had basically been lost.
