Chapter 212

The heralds and guards were all stunned when they heard the order from the big man's mouth, and then they were shocked. But Dahan didn't care, but then ordered:

"Second, if the enemy army comes to attack the city during the closure of the city gate, let the city deputy open the door and surrender. If the other party does not kill after entering the city, the evacuees can be recalled according to the situation. If... Dahan's voice paused, closed his eyes, and then opened, his eyes were indifferent and cold, and his voice became cold, "If the other party insists on killing or intending to slaughter the city after entering the city, then let the dead soldiers arranged by the city deputy order detonate the city after most of the enemy army enters the city." with the enemy ... Fight like Kilkenny cats. Buy time for the fire that our city evacuated. ”

He closed his eyes again, was silent for a while, and waved his hand to the herald, "Go and give the order." Let all the scouts withdraw together, and be sure to get the order to the ears of the city lieutenant. ”

"Yes. My lord. The herald saluted the close-eyed man and turned to leave. He had already vaguely guessed the choice of the city lord.

Not only the heralds, but all the guards also vaguely knew the city lord's choice after hearing the city lord's second order. Although the look of fear and panic on his face had not completely faded, a faint aura of perseverance had risen.

"Behind you is home." The hoarse and majestic voice of the big man sounded faintly again while opening his eyes, and the big man possessed by Ning Yuan looked at the guards in front of him who gradually rose in despair with a resolute look, and said with a faint relief on his indifferent face:

"You could have avoided dying. But who made you my guards? I, the city lord, have chosen to fight to the death, and you can only accompany me to die. The big man grinned and smiled coldly, and then said with a sigh:

"This war was originally fought. Although there is almost no hope, if I hadn't come to ambush with everyone desperately, and hadn't fallen into the enemy's trap, or even if I had fallen into the trap, as long as I hadn't been defeated so quickly, as long as I could hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, then this battle would not have been so complete even if it was still lost. But it's too late to say anything. It's all my fault. But even if I had the chance to choose again, maybe I would still make the same choice. Because we don't really have a choice. While I, the lord of the city, were still alive, we could not surrender according to the city-state covenant. And if I, the lord of the city, are not disqualified, you cannot kill me and sacrifice the city. Otherwise, it will be condemned by all the city-states. Very helpless rules, but we don't have the power to resist. We are just a small city of D-level, with a population limit of only 150,000 and a regular force of 30,000, and a 'beast tide' has left our troops only 12,000, and we can only play under the rules. Even if we attack our Class C Midtown, with a population limit of 500,000 and a regular force of 200,000, they can only attack us according to the rules. Therefore, in order to reduce their own losses, they not only brought special siege troops, but also used intrigue and trickery against opponents like us who are not in the same order of magnitude. Now that I think about it, I don't know if I should feel honored. There was a look of mockery or self-deprecation on the big man's face.

"Behind you is home." Dahan sighed again, "Our family is behind us, and our Miao descendants are evacuating. We can't bet on whether the other person will be kind to our loved ones. While city-state wars are usually aimed at population and resources, we have not been able to confirm the true purpose of the other side in this war without warning. We have no choice. You can only fight them to the death here. Buy time for our family. The more time we buy, the more assured their safety will be. So... Dahan looked indifferently at the 500 guards who had already risen in front of him, "Are you ready to accompany me to die?" ”

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

Listening to the three words "war" in the hoarse voice of the 500 guards, a happy smile appeared on the indifferent face of the big man, and he grabbed the big knife in his hand and walked to the front of the team from the queue where the guards automatically turned and separated, and laughed: "Okay! ~ Let's go and have a good time. ”

One, two, three. After killing several enemy soldiers, Ning Yuan gradually became familiar with the tactics of the Great Han, and the subsequent killing became simpler. There are only three swords in the Han Dynasty's tactics: one to cut off the neck and behead, one to cut the heart obliquely, and one to cut off the waist and body. Simple and rude, but with the divine power of the Great Han, it has become the most effective killing method.

Under the leadership of the decisive and brutal killing of the Great Han, in the high morale of the rising will of the Great Han, the 500 personal guards led by the Great Han did not quickly lose the battle with the elite of the enemy, but rose up with a momentum of becoming more and more courageous. And after seeing the team led by the big man, the soldiers who had been fighting with the enemy on the periphery automatically and slowly attached themselves.

As the Han fought all the way, more and more soldiers came over, and the morale of the peripheral soldiers who were close to collapse began to slowly rise. Gradually, the big man who was possessed by Ning Yuan unconsciously took a front and launched a counter-charge towards the surrounding enemy army.

Of course, even Ning Yuan didn't expect this situation, and he didn't realize it. He just concentrated on observing the movements of the enemy forces around him, and then according to the ability analysis of "yesterday dusk", he killed the weak point of the enemy army in his consciousness, killed the new weak point before the enemy army surrounded him, and then killed the enemy army who felt easier to kill when he could not avoid it.

In this way, with the sharp head brought up by the big man possessed by Ning Yuan, the encirclement of the enemy army was unconsciously pulled. And with the pulling, the weak points of the encirclement formation become easier to spot. Ning Yuan's killing became more and more simple and effective. With the increase in the number of battles, a thought unconsciously floated in Ning Yuan's consciousness: It seems that this group of enemy troops is not as strong as when they were ambushed? But the thought vanished in an instant. A total of more than 2,000 defeated soldiers, after Ning Yuan's attached Han led 500 guards to participate in the battle, there were only 1,500 left, that is to say, in a short period of time, our army lost another 500 soldiers, which shows that the enemy army is definitely elite even if it is not as strong as when it was ambushed. Although the deployment of the enemy army was somewhat disrupted after the big Han took the lead, the enemy's fighting efficiency was still efficient in the process of more than 1,000 defeated troops around him. Even if Ning Yuan didn't count them, he knew that at least thirty percent of the defeated soldiers who had come over had died in this short attachment process. Under normal circumstances, the remaining rout would have fled or surrendered. But with the advance of the Great Han's front, with the fast and efficient killing, it seems that all the remaining defeated soldiers have seen a glimmer of hope, and the prestige of the Great Han in the army seems to be good, so the soldiers who are about to collapse have slowly stabilized the morale of the imminent rout even if they suffered heavy casualties in the process of attachment. Then, in the atmosphere of the death battle between the big Han and the 500 personal guards, the morale began to slowly rise as if it had bottomed out.

Ning Yuan's "Yesterday Dusk" ability played a huge role in this kind of chaotic battle, which Ning Yuan did not expect. By remembering it in a short period of time, Bi Ning Yuan can vaguely perceive the enemy's movement under the general situation, so that he can constantly adjust the direction and angle of the attack according to this almost intuitive ability. And the courage of the Great Han itself and the simple and efficient killing efficiency make it difficult for the enemy army facing the Great Han to resist.

Under the local superiority and the atmosphere of fighting to the death, the morale of the Han and the 500 personal guards and the remaining soldiers continued to rise. As the morale of the entire front head became higher and higher, the morale of the enemy troops facing the front unconsciously began to weaken.

At the beginning, Ning Yuan hadn't noticed that the morale of the enemy army had dropped, but as the big man killed more and more, and even the enemy troops on the opposite side began to retreat meaningfully, Ning Yuan realized: "It seems that the combat power on the opposite side has decreased?" ”

He gave up as soon as he turned his mind, even if his combat power dropped, what could he do? Even if the combat power of at least 20,000 troops drops, it is not something that our more than 1,000 troops can defeat. Or take advantage of the fact that the other party doesn't know why the combat power has declined, and it is cost-effective to kill more.

Thinking like this, Ning Yuan concentrated more on killing, and when he relied on the "Yesterday Dusk" ability to find that he seemed to be able to slightly distinguish whether the other party was a commander or something like a team leader, he even began to carry out surprise killings against these elites who seemed to be members of the grassroots organization.

Ning Yuan's assault seemed to have thrown the other party into chaos all of a sudden. The attack that had been fairly orderly suddenly became disorderly. The sudden chaos made the morale of the 500 guards and the remaining soldiers who followed Ning Yuan suddenly relaxed. And after relaxing, the morale rises like a triple jump. The already very high morale went straight to the table.

With the sudden explosive increase in morale, Ning Yuan suddenly found that the combat power of the Great Han seemed to have risen to a new height in an instant. Elite enemy troops such as squad leaders who could still resist two or three swords were now under the hands of the big man possessed by Ning Yuan, and they couldn't take a single sword like the other soldiers. And Ning Yuan's sudden outburst like a demon god possession intensified the confusion of the enemy army in front of him. The situation of the whole local battle suddenly became delicate.

Ning Yuan didn't think much about why the combat power of the Great Han suddenly soared, but took advantage of the situation to lead the pro-guard troops to increase the intensity of the attack, hoping to further expand the chaos of the enemy army.

But just when Ning Yuan had just hit a small peak, the surrounding enemy forces had already restored order again, and more enemy troops were surrounding in this direction. Ning Yuan frowned and glanced into the distance, and then in desperation, he once again changed the direction of attack with his personal guards.

In this way, according to the analysis of the ability of "yesterday dusk", Ning Yuan specially rushed towards the relative weakness of the enemy army or the personnel of the grassroots organization, and with the soaring combat power and morale, it could bring a certain amount of chaos to the enemy army every time, but every time it was about to break through and was blocked by the momentum of the commander on the opposite side.

Once or twice is fine, but the number of times is too much, our morale begins to inevitably fall, although it is very slow, but Ning Yuan really feels that the combat power of the big han is declining.

("It won't go on like this.") Ning Yuan glanced in a certain direction again, ("It seems that we must use that side as a breakthrough. As long as you kill him, not to mention the entire encirclement, at least an effective breakthrough can be formed on this side")

While thinking about it, the big man possessed by Ning Yuan shouted: "Fight!" ”

"Fight!" All the soldiers shouted, and then followed by the big man to break out again into a fierce attack towards a gathering place of the enemy army.

Ning Yuan did not choose to attack in a roundabout or pretended to attack in a weak place or anything, but took advantage of the opportunity that the improved combat power had not completely fallen back and rushed directly and decisively towards the hidden commander.

This wave of impact of the Great Han will hide in the enemy army, and the commander who faced the Great Han was shocked. For a while, he forgot to command the people to block. You must know that the big man possessed by Ning Yuan has been breaking through to the weak point of the enemy army before, and this commander has also been trying to adjust the strength to encircle it, after all, the combat power of the big man is really terrifying, and it can cause chaos in the enemy army everywhere, this commander can only draw more manpower to participate in the attack to avoid the big han from expanding the chaos, as for the siege, he really thought about it. But there is no capital. In the absence of a single soldier and a grassroots general who can block the sword of the big man, it is already a fluke to avoid the expansion of panic, and there is no talk of siege and killing. However, as long as it can be blocked and wait for the army to encircle and destroy the soldiers behind the Han as soon as possible, then even if the human life is filled, the Han can be easily killed. Therefore, the commander was not in a hurry, after all, the purpose of their encirclement and suppression operation was not only to exterminate the big man.

However, this commander did not realize when he besieged the Great Han, and as the Great Han possessed by Ning Yuan changed direction again and again, the forces in front of him had been almost withdrawn. Although the number of troops protected is still thick, there is not much difference compared to the surrounding forces. And this gave Ning Yuan a chance to kill him.

As Ning Yuan slashed one by one, the distance between Ning Yuan and the commander was also shortening. When the commander frantically dispatched the surrounding troops to surround him, Ning Yuan was already less than 5 meters away from the other party, and Ning Yuan could even see the other party's panicked look and the pace of retreating.

After seeing the other party's expression, Ning Yuan determined that the other party was not the type who was good at force. I made up my mind in an instant.

"Guards left and right, kill with me! The enemy will leave! At the same time as the words were shouted, he jumped suddenly, and at the same time as the big knife slashed the enemy general and a personal guard, while the other party had not yet fallen, his feet borrowed on the top of the opponent's head, and then the whole person jumped up, and the big knife was raised high and slashed down at the enemy who retreated in fear.

The enemy general hurriedly raised the sword in his hand and blocked it, and was suddenly burst out again with a sword and split it in half. The thin blood and internal organs sprayed the big man who rushed forward.

At the moment when the enemy general was killed, there was a momentary pause and silence on the battlefield. Both sides seemed to be intimidated by the big man who was now like a demon god.

"The enemy will be dead, kill!" Ning Yuan burst out loud after counteracting the pressure of the forward rush, and at the same time rushed towards the weak point of the rear again.

"Kill!" Hearing Dahan's loud drink, the morale of all the remaining guards and soldiers soared again, and they followed Dahan to the rear of the enemy army, ignoring the enemy troops who had surrounded him.

And in the case of witnessing the commander being beheaded by the big man with a knife, and the body was split in two pieces, almost all the enemy troops who witnessed it fell into collapse. Except for the commander's personal guards who still desperately intercepted and fought hard, all the enemy soldiers and soldiers kept retreating, dodging, and even turning around and fleeing under the impact of the big man. Fear has inevitably thrown the besieged army into chaos on this side.

There were also other grassroots generals who tried to reorganize the defense line, but every time they organized a little, they were discovered by Ning Yuan, who was becoming more and more keen, and then quickly killed the organizers with his personal guards, so that the newly organized enemy army fell into chaos and fear again.

As chaos and fear continued to spread, the big man possessed by Ning Yuan and the guards behind him became more and more like a fish in water.

The enemy troops on the other two sides who were originally surrounded noticed the chaos on this side and began to speed up the encirclement, and sent their grassroots generals to try to reorganize the defensive line. However, under the assault and slaughter of the pro-army led by Ning Yuan, not only was there no way to organize an effective defense line, but on the contrary, the grassroots generals and colonels were constantly losing.

Ning Yuan's current performance gave the commander-in-chief of the enemy army a headache. He couldn't understand why the big man possessed by Ning Yuan could accurately find the organizer he sent over every time. You must know that in order to avoid the organizers being targeted, almost all the grassroots generals and colonels are dressed up like ordinary soldiers. It can be said that it is luck to be found and killed once or twice, but every time it can be found and killed quickly, the commander-in-chief of the enemy army feels that he is really going crazy.

In fact, it was not Ning Yuan who was suddenly able to accurately discover the organization personnel of the enemy army, but Ning Yuan's pulling from the east and west made these organization personnel themselves exposed.

As casualties among the grassroots organization increased, the bloated formation of the enemy army, already in fear, began to break up from the inner perimeter. The decline in the morale of the inner encirclement and the killing of the organizers of the inner encirclement caused the advantage of the enemy's large number of troops to slowly but surely slide in the direction of the local disadvantage.

It is not that there are no other enemy generals who have come from both sides to organize the operation of besieging and killing the Han with their own armed forces. But these generals obviously misestimated their own skills, and also seriously underestimated the threat of force from the big men who had entered the state of the demon god, and were often killed by Ning Yuan, who was already extremely easy to kill, in less than three rounds. And the senior generals of the enemy army who organized the encirclement tactics did not seem to have such a brave general who could charge into battle like the Great Han. This made the other party have no choice but to besiege and kill the big man by dispatching more elite soldiers from other directions.

But this kind of dispatch method is simply killing in front of Ning Yuan, who has been highly concentrated and using the ability of "Yesterday Dusk". Before the troops of the other party's organization came over, Ning Yuan had already turned around and killed in other directions. And he still dragged the enemy soldiers who were already close to collapse to attack the enemy soldiers who were still in order. The enemy army, which could have been slightly blocked, quickly collapsed.

This time, the enemy army that pursued the defeated army of Xiuyuan City originally planned to encircle and suppress the defeated army of Xiuyuan in the east, west, and north, and took the opportunity to encircle the defeated army and attack Xiuyuan City, which was 20 miles away to the south. If you can take the city smoothly, that's the best. It doesn't matter if you can't, anyway, there is a siege brigade five miles behind, as long as you wait a little longer, you can directly attack the city, and you don't have to worry about the opponent's counterattack at all. After spending so much scheming to wipe out almost all the regular troops in Xiuyuan City, if the other party can still organize a counterattack, then they can directly abandon the plan to attack the city. Because as Ning Yuan's possessed Han guessed, the wars in the era of the city-state were fought on population and resources, and their purpose was actually just population. And the cities that are still stubbornly resisting to the end in the face of the regular soldiers have no way to get the population, or the population is not what they need.

However, as far as the information they have gathered, although the rule of the officials in Xiuyuan City is still clear, and the city lord has not lost any morality, it is a joke to say that the people's hearts have been collected. You must know that the population of the city-state era is the citizens of City A today, and the citizens of City B tomorrow, and it is a common situation that today belongs to the C League and tomorrow belongs to the Ding League. Therefore, except for the upper class, the people of the lower class do not have much interest and expectation in who is the city lord. In other words, the worst-case scenario is almost unlikely.

Therefore, after ambushing and defeating the troops of Xiuyuan City at the edge of the forest, the enemy army has basically relaxed, waiting to reap the fruits of victory. Because of this, the easy task of the follow-up pursuit was handed over to the 15,000 decoy pawns and the reserve team and 5,000 elites who participated in the ambush to keep up with the covert accelerated march, and the troops were basically light infantry, and the pursuit commander was also replaced by the younger generation who came to learn. In fact, the purpose is to train and train soldiers in the process of pursuing and defeating the troops, so that the younger generation can feel the atmosphere of war and make meritorious achievements.

The organizers of the entire siege plan did not expect that under the condition that the morale of the 20,000 absolutely superior forces in the pursuit collapsed and less than 3,000 troops were defeated, and the on-site commander did not make any mistakes in the siege, he would be completely defeated by the big man possessed by Ning Yuan like a ghost and a god with less than 1,000 defeated troops.

Yes. Rout.

In the case that the Han attached to Ning Yuan cleanly killed the enemy general in charge of the western command of the enemy army with an irresistible momentum, and continued to kill the generals and colonels of the grassroots organizations, so that all the enemy troops surrounded by the west almost completely entered the state of "the soldiers do not know the generals and the soldiers", and the morale of the pro-guards led by the Han continued to hit the morale, and the enemy army in the entire west inevitably entered a state of rout under the implication of the collapse of the inner encirclement. Even if the commanders on both sides of the northeast discovered that the situation was wrong in time, abandoned the siege and accelerated the full encirclement, and constantly sent the colonels and non-commissioned officers to supplement the west, they would not be able to prevent the spread of this state of collapse. Because at this time, the big man possessed by Ning Yuan completely entered a certain unknown state, and Ning Yuan, who was using the ability of "Yesterday's Dusk" all the time, could always directly hit the enemy's soft underbelly in time, and always left before the enemy surrounded him, and escaped a slippery and insidious poisonous snake. Do not give the enemy any chance of causing a siege at all.

In this way, the situation has become that in the eyes of the senior generals of the enemy forces on both sides of the northeast, the battlefield intuition of the big Han is amazingly good, and it is impossible to encircle and kill at all. But it won't work if you don't besiege and kill. At this moment, the general of the enemy army deeply felt the importance of a leading general with extraordinary courage and good at charging into battle. As long as there is a general who can hold back the big man a little, then they will have enough time to organize the elite to besiege the big man, or cut off the opponent's front and eat all the soldiers who follow behind.

The current situation is that wherever Ning Yuan's possessed Han killed, the enemy army began to collapse rapidly, and the morale began to drop vigorously, while the personal guards behind Ning Yuan completely followed the big Han to fight crazy, although from time to time someone died, but the morale was indeed a crazy rise, even if facing the siege of multiple enemy soldiers at the same time, it could also do what it could not usually do with one to many, a tie or a battle to win. Even the young and strong soldiers on the periphery can fight with the elite of the enemy army whose morale is close to collapse. The scales of victory began to tip to Ning Yuan's side with unstoppable momentum.

Finally, at a certain moment, Ning Yuan's eyes were empty. There were no enemy troops around. Just when Ning Yuan was a little stunned, his consciousness was blurred. From the original first perspective to the third perspective, and constantly moving away. Before Ning Yuan's meaning was completely blurred, he seemed to see Dahan's gaze glancing in his direction.

By the time Ning Yuan came back to his senses, he had already re-established himself on the floor of the last block of the Dragon's Tooth Labyrinth. At the same time, the invisible wall in front of him had disappeared.
