This outpost battle is destined not to have many casualties, Luo Ji, who does not have an advantage in troops, cannot go out of the city to pursue, and the besieging party with a tentative purpose is impossible to lose too many of its troops in a temptation, the commanders on both sides are aware of it, you go back and forth to play Taiji, after two rounds of siege, the troops of Shangyuan City quickly collected their troops, during this period, they did not even use the siege tower.

Just as Luo Ji guessed, Zhou Dongnan pushed out the siege tower, more to play a deterrent role, after all, he had seen the power of Luo Ji's three-bow bed crossbow, there was no need to push the siege tower forward at the risk of damage in a tentative outpost battle, this thing is expensive!

At the same time, the news here was also quickly delivered to Zhou Dongnan's hands, looking at the battle report in his hand, Zhou Dongnan secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, at least the situation was stabilized, although the situation was bad enough to be captured by a wave of blitzkrieg on the opposite side at the beginning, but fortunately, there was still room for redemption.

Next, according to his plan, he only needs to let the large army of Shangyuan City contain that Luo Ji, and wait until the reinforcements on the other side arrive at Songshan City, and when the time comes, a wave of front and back attacks will directly trap Na Luo Ji in Songhe City, kill the other party in one go, and end the battle! Thinking of the end, Zhou Dongnan's eyes were already filled with cold killing intent!

Time passed day by day, since that outpost battle, the troops of Shangyuan City should have directly found a place to camp nearby, and then ran to Luo Ji's eyelids to walk around every day as if they had completed their daily tasks, and from time to time they would suddenly attack the city, clearly consuming their energy and attracting their attention.

The other party's hand is a proper yang strategy, even if he knows that Zhou Dongnan is containing him, he can't really ignore the two thousand troops outside Songhe City, the two sides just maintain the rhythm of containing each other and consuming each other, and on the seventh day of the all-out war, on this day, with the sinking sunset, reinforcements from Xiyuan City successfully settled in Songhe City after several days of marching......

Looking at the carts of stones that were brought in to the city, Zhou Yi, who came with Luo Ji, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, saying that these stones were stones, and it seemed that they were too small, so let's say no, he really couldn't think of the use of so many round stones for a while.

"Chief, what are these stones?" Playing a good habit of asking questions if you don't understand, Zhou Yi asked with a puzzled face.

"It's a stone bullet." Luo Ji said calmly.

"But what are you doing with so many truckloads of stone bombs? If you make a stone, there should be a lot of hoarding on the walls of Matsukawa Castle, and this head is inevitably a little too small. ”

"These stone bullets are for the slingers."

"Throw, slinger?" Zhou Yi's whole expression was stunned for a while, and he thought for a while before he finally reacted, because this word was too long ago for him, and it was also quite unfamiliar, for them, the three words of slinger basically only existed when the previous generation was bragging.

And Luo Ji, who learned about this situation, was also a little surprised, it seems that this Zhou Dongnan has been developing for longer than he expected, but after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be an uncommon thing, because in the process of development, even if you are a modern person, sometimes if you can't find some special resources, it will be difficult for you to promote the development of your own civilization.

One of the most direct examples is that if you can't find copper ore and tin ore, you can't smelt bronze, you can't enter the Bronze Age, and if you go further, you have to find coal mines or other things that act as fuel before you can find copper ore, because according to the temperature produced by ordinary wood burning, it is not enough to cast copper!

Some players can't find certain resources, and it's not uncommon for them to be stuck for several years on a card at a certain stage, Luo Ji is considered to have a relatively smooth development in the early stage, but even so, counting the six-month novice period, he has also stayed in the rankless rank for three or four years.

And the span of the bronze rank is obviously longer than that of the non-rank, looking at these cities, Luo Ji estimates how the southeast of Zhou has developed for decades, right? And Zhou Yi was only in his twenties, and when he was born, the slinger was estimated to have been eliminated a long time ago......

Facing a soldier of his father's generation or even his grandfather's generation, it was natural that Zhou Yi couldn't react for a while, and after reacting, the expression on his face was full of weirdness.

Before this incident really happened, he couldn't imagine that he could still see the slinger, and what was even more strange was that in the past few days, he had seen that Luo Ji had an archer army that was not inferior to Da Zhou at all, under this premise, what was the point of retaining the ancient class of slingers? Just as Zhou Yi was thinking this, a man in bronze armor walked towards them......

The appearance of the other party attracted Zhou Yi's attention, in this era, even if it is the Great Zhou that has developed so far, those who are qualified to wear bronze armor are all general-level figures, and the one in front of him, nine times out of ten, is the general who is responsible for bringing troops over to support this time.

This general felt very different from Zhou Yi, obviously he didn't do anything, but the whole person exuded a calm atmosphere, as if there was nothing he couldn't hold, and the steps he walked over were not hurried, as if the interval between each step was the same.

Just as Zhou Yi's thoughts were flying, the man had already walked slowly in front of Luo Ji, and then knelt down on one knee, "The last general, Zhao Pan, see the patriarch!" ”

"Patriarch ......" Hearing this title, a trace of thought flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes, since that day, he obviously knew that this title had a certain special meaning, ordinary soldiers and officers, when they called Luo Ji, they all called the chief, and he only knew two at present, one was Luo Yong, and the other was obviously the Zhao Pan in front of him.

That Luo Yong's bravery in splitting Liu Hu in half with an axe left a deep impression on him, and the Zhao Pan in front of him was obviously not an ordinary character.

Just when he was thinking like this, Luo Ji, who was standing next to him, had already spoken, with a little joy in his voice, and at the same time a little relaxation, "Zhao Pan, all the way from Tiebi City to this side, thank you for your hard work." ”

"The end will not be hard, thank you for the patriarch's concern."

"Come, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Yi, who just returned to my command a few days ago." As he spoke, Luo Ji reached out and patted Zhao Pan's shoulder, "Zhou Yi, this is Zhao Pan, one of my most trusted confidants and favorite generals, with him, it is not so easy for the two thousand siege troops in Shangyuan City to break through the western wall of Songhe City, and even directly beat them back!" ”
