Chapter Seventy-One: Epilogue
After a long battle, both the offensive and defensive sides were exhausted.
On the player's side, because they had never experienced a battle from morning to noon and afternoon, just watching the tragic battlefield from a distance was enough for them to drink a pot, and some people who were less courageous and did not have a high psychological quality were even frightened to the point that their faces were pale and they did not dare to move forward. Here, everyone dared to make fun of them, everyone was facing this scene for the first time, and their situation was not much better.
And the defending side of the city has been extremely physically exhausted because it has lasted from early in the morning to now, and they don't have so many follow-up troops to squeeze out much rest time for them. Fortunately, the first group of defenders who defended the city were almost dead, and now the soldiers defending the city are the latest to be replaced, and their ranks are higher than those of the previous batches.
The presence of bandit reinforcements did not break the stalemate, and it was still too reluctant for only 2,000 soldiers to face players with more than 15,000 troops on either side of the southwest. However, it also bought a lot of time for the defenders, at least the pressure on the two walls weakened a lot, and two thousand reinforcements under the leadership of a senior general and two middle-level generals pointed directly at the back of the besieging side, and at the same time, the gate of the fortress suddenly opened, killing five hundred soldiers from inside, ready to attack back and forth.
The 500 soldiers, all of whom were fifth-order soldiers, went out of the city under the leadership of a high-ranking military general, and those who were besieging the city were caught off guard by this counterattack. Maybe a fifth-order soldier is not much stronger than a fourth-order soldier, but if a square team composed of five hundred fifth-order soldiers is more powerful than the sum of the simple sums.
The players attacking the city from the west were attacked in front and back, and the lineup was disrupted in an instant. At this time, the gap between the player and the NPC is reflected, and the player will panic and even flee in all directions when they encounter this situation without being trained, and the lineup is chaotic, not to mention, it may affect their actions to organize defense from both sides.
This is a military general's calculation very clearly, he does not want to be able to defeat more than 10,000 people, after all, the other party is ten times the number of his own side, and the other party's support may also arrive at any time. is not like Lu Shuang, who has a large number of seventh- and eighth-order soldiers, and can eat the other party hard with his strength. All he wanted was to be able to disrupt all the enemies on this side, destroy the siege ladders, and relieve the pressure on the defense.
Judging by the results so far, he seems to have done it. After a random slaughter, no one dared to intercept the reinforcements, who quickly passed through the battle zone and joined the defenders below the walls.
As soon as the person in charge of the south saw this, his face immediately turned cold, the other party didn't take him seriously, and wanted to help the reinforcements enter the city. If these two thousand men and horses were allowed to enter the city and rely on the advantages of the city walls, it would be more difficult to attack the city. And from morning to noon and afternoon, their physical strength and morale are a little exhausted, and they must not be allowed to enter the city so easily.
The person in charge was ruthless, and now he can only use NPC soldiers, and it is unreliable to rely on a group of players who have not yet adapted to the battlefield. Immediately, a group of 300 NPC soldiers and 4,000 official members of the Seraphic Guild went halfway to intercept the convergence of the two sides on the opposite side. Although the rank of NPC soldiers with three hundred people is not high, there are only a few twenty or thirty fifth-order soldiers, but the momentum of their regular army is three points stronger than that of Liukou. And those who can become official members of the Seraphic Guild, first of all, do not lag behind in terms of level and equipment, recently in order to improve the success rate of the siege, specially invited retired special forces as instructors, and took a period of time out every day to carry out "military training" for them in the game, and the combat ability and operational ability of this large army have been greatly improved.
The two sides soon fought again under the city walls, and the robbers who supported them came this time with the determination to die, as did the robbers who went out of the city to attack, and they were willing to die with the enemy if they encountered an emergency. However, although their numbers are at an absolute disadvantage, fortunately, there are some fifth-order soldiers and high-level generals, and they can hold on for a while.
"Brother, time is running out, we should go, otherwise we will make the lord wait for a long time." Cheng Hui looked at the sky, and it had been a few hours since the war began.
"Hee-hee, I want to kill a few more." Wang Yue threw away the iron spear that had been rolled up, changed his weapon and said, "These inhumans have a lot of experience thieves, and I have already been promoted to a higher level." ”
"Don't mess around, the lord ordered that no matter what the situation of the battle is after five hours, he has to leave, and he has other tasks to order."
"Well, there are few people in the southwest, we leave there with our faces covered, and everyone can stop us, and no one can recognize us." Wang Yue said.
The two quickly retreated, and some of the soldiers on the city wall noticed that something was wrong and tried to stop them, but they were all nimbly dodged. The enemy of the enemy is the friend, and they don't want to hurt anyone here.
The speed of the emperor-level generals and king-level generals was very fast, and after a while, they came to the west city wall, at this time, Wang Yue noticed that there were people fighting under the city wall not far away, and said, "Is there someone fighting below?" ”
The height of three zhang was nothing to them, and when they jumped, the players who were charging suddenly saw their eyes flicker, and suddenly found that two people had jumped down, and before they could understand what was going on, the figure was gone.
Before Wang Yue left, he also destroyed a siege ladder a little cheaply, which made the people of the Seraphs crazy, these siege ladders were borrowed from the official military camp after traveling a lot of props in the east, the rent is not high, but if it is damaged, it will be compensated in full, and the NPC's favorability towards them will be reduced.
This ladder is broken, but you have to lose money, but it is not so easy to break, unlike the wooden ladder made by players or intermediate carpenters who are gone in a few clicks, otherwise after fighting for so long, the defenders in the cottage will destroy it with a fire or a few knives and shots, saying that there is a ladder that will be over a long time ago. But with a wave of the iron spear in Wang Yue's hand, the entire ladder was broken in two, and the terrifying force made the players who knew the defense of the ladder frightened, how could they be defeated with such a person defending the army?
"Brother, there's someone fighting over there, it seems to be between Inhumans and robbers." The two set off towards the woods where the robber reinforcements appeared, and suddenly noticed something interesting.
"Then why don't we go over and take a look, the time hasn't come yet, and I haven't enjoyed it yet. The lord said to make trouble for those Seraphic Guild people as much as possible, and we can go over and make trouble. ”
"Forget it, help people to the end, who made this cottage a pawn of the lord." Cheng Hui agreed with Wang Yue's idea.
There are two peerless generals, at least the peerless generals that players have seen so far, like a god descending, sweeping everyone with the autumn wind sweeping the leaves. If the super-level martial artist is a killing machine, then these two people are bulldozers, and after they are no longer restricted by the narrow place of the city wall, Wang Yue Chenghui shows his might, and his body is shrouded in a whole brilliance, which is a manifestation of his internal strength and external exposure. Even a group of robbers who regarded death as if they were at home were fascinated, and there were even stronger characters in this world than their village owners. And the players are struggling, and the robbers who were about to be eaten encounter two powerful and perverted weirdos, who are harvesting their lives at a rate of six or seven people per second.
The person in charge shook his head in despair, he had been killed by two people here, the robber reinforcements and the hundreds of fifth-order soldiers took the opportunity to open the city gate and enter, and the self side was killed more than a thousand people in a short period of time, and the morale was greatly damaged, and it was doomed to be hopeless to attack the city wall here.
Di Tian's face was ugly after receiving the battle situation on the front line, because the army was less than 30,000 people, and if he chose to attack again, he might not be able to attack it. At this time, the residents in the cottage came up to help defend the city with a little strength, and the situation became more and more unfavorable for them.
"Ditian Village Chief, don't you think about it? You might be able to get some soup from us, or you'll have nothing left. An official dressed in an official palace beside Di Tian sneered.
If it was an ordinary person, he would definitely be killed back to level zero, but this person didn't dare, because he was an official of the government and was responsible for coming over to accompany him.
Di Tian's face turned pale after hearing this, and he pleaded rarely: "My lord, give me one more chance, I will definitely be able to win this cottage, give it one more time." ”
It turned out that since this cottage was refreshed, the Pengcheng official mansion prepared to take him down in advance in view of the fact that there was a nearby city that would threaten the safety of the people. With the status of Pengcheng Xuzhou Prefecture, it is still possible to take a city, and Emperor Tian also hopes to take it, so he asks the government to leave a chance for him through various relationships. Because the red envelope given was not small, and the officials didn't think he could take the cottage, so they pushed the boat and gave him this chance, but after today, they will send troops to take action in person.
The official next to Di Tian is not a good thing, on time Di Tian hurriedly gave him some benefits, and then he reported to the above to let Peng Cheng's army come over to assist in the siege of the city, but after taking it, all the control belongs to Peng Cheng, but Di Tian can get some resources. If you don't give it, then wait until tomorrow Pengcheng's army will come to get it again, and then everything will have nothing to do with Emperor Tian.
"Okay, I promise you." Emperor Tian almost crushed his teeth, and after sacrificing so much and only getting some resources and items, no one could feel good. But he has no choice, otherwise everything he has invested will be in vain, although it costs money to bribe officials, but at least the return will be more.
