Chapter 395: The Verge

"Two consecutive raids on the camp, the Western Frontier Army will definitely not give us another chance, and it is estimated that it will launch an attack tomorrow.

The Western Frontier Army has been attacking us for several months, consuming countless amounts of food and grass and baggage, and the losses will be unknown, so as long as we resist tomorrow's attack, the situation will be clear. ”

In your Yuan Mansion, Ye Xing sat in the first place and analyzed the current situation.

With two consecutive waves of night raids and raids on the camp, the Western Frontier Army will obviously be more strictly defended.

Even if it is just dawn, the whole army will attack the fortress, and Ye Xing will not be given the slightest chance to take advantage of it.

Although there are a large number of spirit stones that are brought back to be used as spirit cannon resources, they can't fight many times, so the Weishui Army needs to be fully prepared for close combat.

"In this case, I will immediately go down to prepare the soldiers, although the city is wide, but I want to leave a garrison of a thousand people should be barely enough, as for the city tower, considering the pressure, so I plan to send all the other soldiers to the city wall and the city tower, I don't know what the son thinks?"

Gu Xun immediately got up and responded, since the Western Frontier Army will attack tomorrow, it is naturally best to press all the soldiers to share the pressure on the city defense.

"Then I will immediately order the formation of the guards, patrol the city wall in batches, and use it to guard and support the soldiers of the city tower, I don't know what Gongzi thinks?" Wang Li also hurriedly responded.

All members of the escort team have a high master's realm, and it is indeed best to support the city wall and relieve the pressure on the soldiers.

And Ye Xing's strength is also quite strong, in Wang Li's opinion, Ye Xing is in charge of Youyuan Mansion, there is no need to worry about safety, just leave more than 100 people.

Other guards can be sent to the tower to assist in the defense.

"No, that's not enough, so let's keep fifteen hundred soldiers in the city for patrolling, and the remaining fifteen thousand men in two groups, seven thousand five hundred men to guard the day, and seven thousand five hundred to keep watch at night, and defend alternately day and night. ”

"Everyone listened to the order, and two thousand soldiers were arranged on the wall of the main gate of Youyuan Gate, and one thousand reserve soldiers were arranged under the city gate. ”

"The Qingyuan Gate and Ziyuan Gate on the left and right sides, as well as the Weishui Gate city wall at the rear, are respectively deployed on the city wall with 1,000 soldiers, and 500 reserve soldiers are arranged under the city tower. ”

"During the day, Gu Xun, Qiu En, Li Mu, Li Zi, Yu Xiaoyu, Yu Xiaoyu and others were responsible for the defense of the four major city walls.

At night, Liang Shuo, Li Goudan, Ma Yan, Li Xiu, and others were responsible for the defense of the four major city walls. ”

"All the members of the escort team will sit in the city tower with me, and do what Wang Li said, and a team of twenty people will patrol the city wall to support the defending soldiers. ”

Ye Xing stood up and said, the momentum of the world was revealed.

"I'll take my orders!"

Everyone looked at each other, Ye Xing, who was guarding the city this time, actually used so many newcomers, it is estimated that he is ready to train these people.

At that, everyone retreated, gathered their soldiers and informed the others who were not here, and went to the city wall to strengthen their defenses.

"Dog, take the guards with me to the city tower of Youyuan Gate to sit down, and Wang Li will stay to arrange relevant matters. ”

Ye Xing looked at Li Goudan, and then instructed Wang Li.

"Don't worry, Childe, we will come as soon as possible. ”

Wang Li bowed slightly, then left the hall and disappeared into the vast night.

"Let's go. Seeing that the main hall was empty, Ye Xing also ordered.

Immediately, Li Goudan took two hundred guards around Ye Xing and walked in the direction of Youyuan Gate.

"Childe, let me go to the city wall to guard this war. On the way, Li Goudan looked at Ye Xing and couldn't wait to ask for battle.

Since his strength has greatly improved, Li Goudan has become more and more floating, and the guy who was a little afraid of death in the past has already transformed into a fierce general who is not afraid of death.

"Okay, then you go to Qingyuanmen. Ye Xing smiled and said to Li Goudan.

"Ah...... But Childe, the front of Qingyuan Gate is only tens of meters wide, and the moat occupies two-thirds of it, and the cliff is steep, I am afraid that there is no Western Army to attack. ”

When Li Goudan heard this, his face suddenly became bitter.

"Do you know why I changed your name from Li Goudan to Li Goudan?" Ye Xing shook his head and looked at Li Goudan.

"Why?" Li Goudan was also confused, this is the same when it is changed, is there any difference?

"That's because I want you to be calm and cautious while being strong in your personal martial arts. ”

Ye Xing looked at Li Goudan solemnly, compared to the fluttering Li Goudan now, Ye Xing still valued the Li Goudan who was a little afraid of death before.

It can only be said that the sudden acquisition of powerful power is indeed enough to make people's moods fluctuate greatly.

This is not only Li Goudan, but everyone else also has it, but Li Goudan is the most obvious.

"Forehead......" Li Goudan scratched his shiny head and thought subconsciously.

"Childe, are you sure you're fooling me again?" After a long time, Li Gou's egg urn said angrily.

"Get out, get out of Qingyuan Gate!" Ye Xing raised his right foot and kicked out.

The next moment, like a projectile, a majestic figure smashed into the wooden door five meters away, shattering the wooden door in all parts.

"Childe Kamui!"

Li Goudan stiffened a carp and hurriedly ran out of the house, looking like a dog.

"......" Ye Xing shook his head helplessly: "Let's go, go to Youyuanmen, and when you arrive, you will guard the city wall, but you need to remember not to rely too much on personal bravery, remember to be steady." ”

When Li Goudan heard this, he immediately laughed innocently: "Don't worry, childe, I understand what you mean." ”

was kicked by Ye Xing, Li Goudan suddenly understood, he was indeed a little fluttery and in a trance during this time.

Subsequently, the group came to the tower of Youyuan Gate, and when they arrived at the pavilion gate on the city wall, Li Goudan led twenty guards to the side of the city wall under Ye Xing's instructions.

At this time, the sky was already slightly bright, and a team of soldiers entered their posts after breakfast, replacing the personnel who had been guarding the city wall before.

In the pavilion on the wall of Youyuan Gate, Ye Xing stood with his hands in his hands, looking at the topographic map of the surrounding area of Youyuan Fortress that spread out on the wall.

I saw that there were all kinds of marks drawn on it, as well as many annotations.

For example, the fog layer, the garrison points of various forces, the distribution of the camps of the Western Frontier Army, the range of patrol soldiers of the Western Frontier Army, and the approximate location of the men and horses after Chen San and others were sent around.

While looking at the strategic topographic map, Ye Xing put part of his mind into the key to your source, and always observed the situation on the streets inside the fortress.

The fortress of Youyuan is very large, with 1,500 soldiers and ten people per team to patrol, it is still a little stretched, but Ye Xing has nothing to do at this time.

So he used a bird's-eye view to observe the patrol arrangement on the streets and the issue of non-commissioned guards.

After all, Youyuan Fortress is very large, and it is inevitable that there will be some omissions by relying on these more than 1,000 soldiers to inspect.

Moreover, even the four gates of Youyuan Fortress are heavily guarded, making it difficult for the enemy to infiltrate.

But if a big war starts, there will always be those who are lucky enough to rush into the city, so it is also very necessary to arrange patrol soldiers in the city, after all, they can make two or three interceptions at the first time.

And although Ye Xing was able to control the fortress with his mind, he had to do it when he had nothing else to do and had free time.

Can't he fight the enemy while using his mind to overlook the city and control the movement of the enemy and himself, right?

Just as Ye Xing was overlooking the defense of the city, Gu Xun and his party came together and appeared in front of the attic door.

"Childe, we found out that the enemy army has appeared. ”

First of all, Rui'er, her delicate body jumped out of the door frame, and as soon as she entered the hall, she shouted at Ye Xing.

Seeing this, Gu Xun and the others shook their heads slightly, crying and laughing, Rui'er has a lively temperament, loves swords and does not like embroidery.

I went out to rob the camp at night, and after coming back to rest, I was full of energy, and I kept standing on the city wall and looking in the direction of the Western Army camp.

No, as soon as she saw the advance of the Western Army, Rui Er ran towards the pavilion with a roar and reported to Ye Xing.

This speed is even faster than the Weishui sergeant who is on guard.

"Let's go down. Gu Xun commanded to the somewhat embarrassed herald on the side.

"Childe, as you expected, the Western Frontier Army has begun to march, presumably preparing to capture the fortress in one go. ”

Gu Xun and the others walked into the main hall and explained the current situation to Ye Xing.

The more than 7,000 people of the Weishui Army have all been put in place, and they are only waiting for the Western Army to attack the city.

"Well, how long can the spirit stone resources of all spirit cannons be fired?" Ye Xing looked at Li Zi and asked.

During this time, Li Zi has been in charge of the spirit cannon, although he also presides over the defense of part of the city wall area, but more of the maintenance and maintenance of the spirit cannon.

"Back to my lord, the spirit cannon currently has remaining spirit stones that can still support our army to continue to release for about half an hour, about 1,500 to 1,700 rounds. ”

When Li Zi heard this, he immediately replied, the spirit stone resources brought back by Ye Xing last time were low-grade spirit stones, although there were many of them, but the spiritual power of a single spirit stone was scarce, so the power of the spirit cannon was also slightly smaller.

But even so, a single shot was enough to kill hundreds of enemy soldiers.

It's just that the Western Frontier Army has suffered too much loss from the spirit cannon, and I think the lethality of the spirit cannon will not be as great as before.

However, if it is used at certain critical moments, it may have unexpected effects.

"More than a thousand...... But it's enough. Ye Xing groaned darkly, and immediately raised his head to look at Li Zi.

"Li Zi listened to the order, the spirit cannon is mainly used to attack the enemy's siege equipment, such as siege vehicles, siege towers and the like, as for the enemy, it can only attack a large number of areas. ”

Ye Xing opened his mouth and ordered, but it was because the spirit cannon needed to be used sparingly, if the soldiers of the Western Territory were scattered too much, and only two or three people were eliminated after a spirit cannon hit, wouldn't it be a loss?

Therefore, Ye Xingcai told Li Zi not to use the spirit cannon to hit the enemy soldiers at will, and it must be known that good steel must be used on the blade.

Bombarding the scattered soldiers of the Western Frontier with a spirit cannon, isn't that equivalent to fighting mosquitoes with anti-aircraft guns, and the blood is lost?

When Li Zi heard this, he immediately received his order.

After giving Li Zi's instructions, Ye Xing looked at Gu Xun: "Youyuan Fortress is steep on three sides, only this Youyuan Gate is flat on one side, so the main battle is here, this time the defense of the city is fully handed over to you, and go to prepare for the battle to command." ”

When Gu Xun heard this, his eyes were happy, Ye Xing personally sat here, he thought that Ye Xing commanded it.

But he didn't expect it to be handed over to him to command, although Gu Xun has always complained that Ye Xing should be the shopkeeper, but the matter of defending the city is quite important.

Moreover, he has not been able to show his strength in front of others, which makes many people think that Gu Xun is a literati with an empty cultivation realm, and he is not a martial artist with extraordinary martial arts and strong combat power.

Therefore, Gu Xun also held his breath, ready to show off his skills and show off his martial arts.

So when he heard that Ye Xing didn't mean to command, he was overjoyed.

Sure enough, Ye Xing understood him.

"Thank you Gongzi, you will definitely repel the enemy army!" Gu Xun bowed slightly, and his eyebrows were overjoyed.

"Then let's go, I'll go with you to the front of the city wall, watch you command the battle, and cheer you on. ”

Ye Xing smiled slightly and retracted his thoughts, and then walked out of the hall, Rui'er hurriedly followed Ye Xing's side when she saw this, like a little heel.

When Gu Xun and the others heard this, they also followed Ye Xing to the front of the city wall.

The walls of Youyuan Fortress are quite wide, even enough to march side by side on them.

Therefore, Ye Xing and the others walked out of the pavilion, and after going down more than a dozen steps, they walked a short distance before reaching the front of the city wall.

Ye Xing is not here to take command, he is here mainly to see how Gu Xun and others defend the city, and to break the siege at some critical moments.

However, in Ye Xing's opinion, the current Weishui Army is well prepared, has high morale, and has strong combat power and martial arts.

It seems that this first attack of the Western Frontier Army today will not be able to occupy any advantages and advantages.

Behind the battlements of the city wall, every ten paces there is a Weishui sergeant standing upright, wearing a pitch-black armor, a sharp sword hanging from his waist, and a pocket-sized arm crossbow on his left forearm.

On the city wall, a big flag was slowly erected, and the flag fluttering in the wind was written with three big characters of "Weishui Army".

Ye Xing looked at this scene and couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.

The battle flags that have been made in the past few days have been erected, which really makes the entire city wall refreshing, and it seems that the Weishui soldiers are more majestic and elite.

This is the momentum bonus.

At this time, the army of the Western Frontier had slowly approached Youyuan Fortress, and hundreds of siege vehicles and siege towers were the first to come into everyone's eyes.

One by one, the soldiers of the Western Frontier were armed with swords and guns, and they rushed here with great momentum, and a vicious aura came to the face of the military formation, demonstrating the courage and good fighting of the Western Army.

"Phewβ€”"

Dozens of god-level commanders rode their horses, and behind them were thousands of cavalry of the Western Frontier Army, armed with curved swords and dressed in bright armor.

Cavalry can charge into battle, but it is not possible to charge the city, unless there are strong men among them who can break through the city gate by themselves, otherwise they can only be sent to death.

However, the cavalry of the Western Frontier Army was at the rear of the army, and it was obviously not used to storm the city gates, but to rush into the fortress under the cover of foot soldiers after breaking through the city gates.

Pedal Pedal –

The soldiers of the Western Frontier advanced in unison, and finally stopped outside the range of the spirit cannon, hunting with banners, and the aura of slaughter was strong.

And in the Western Frontier Army, all the soldiers of the Divine Rank were mixed among the ordinary soldiers, and they were preoccupied with the attack of the spirit cannon at all times.

"It seems that the Western Frontier Army has changed its commander again, and every time they change their commander, they will change their dispatch, which makes it quite difficult for us to defend the city. ”

Gu Xun looked at the Western Frontier Army in the fortress, his pupils shrank slightly, and then he thought about it.

It's a new opponent again, and I don't know how the other side will attack the city?

"The order is to go down, and the spirit cannon is forbidden to bombard the ordinary soldiers of the Western Frontier Army, and the main attack is the opponent's siege equipment. ”

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xun immediately issued the first order, there were countless siege towers and siege vehicles in the Western Frontier Army, and this threat was very huge and conspicuous.
