Chapter 518: The Ma Army called for battle
It's not that the army of the Australian Alliance doesn't want to surround the entire Qinling City, but because the south of Qinling City is too close to Wanli Qinchuan, if hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed, they will enter the territory of Wanli Qinchuan.
In this way, it is equivalent to no defense behind it, and maybe it will cause some unknown changes, and it may cause a tide of beasts. Therefore, the Australian alliance did not dare to take risks, so it had to surround three and lack one, maybe it could force back the defenders of the Empire.
After the Qilin Legion won a great victory in the Qinling Plain, although it blocked the pace of the Australian Alliance for a few days, but in the face of the rolling trend of the Australian Alliance, it could only choose to retreat.
In the city lord's mansion of Qinling City, at this time, the generals of the Xiaoyao Empire gathered together and were discussing strategies against the enemy. And Lao Jiu sat in the first place, looking at the sand table in front of him for a long time, and the rest of the people waited quietly.
"Wei San, you first tell everyone about the enemy's current situation." I don't know how long it took, Lao Jiu took his eyes off the sand table in front of him, looked at a thin middle-aged man opposite and said.
Wei San was the head of the Night Legion, and when the Empire was established, Lao Jiu's purpose in establishing the Night Legion was to train the best scouts for the Empire. And now that the real war has broken out, the Night Legion has finally shouldered their burden.
In fact, the Night Legion is not formed by simple NPCs, but a legion formed by NPCs and players, in which the people in charge of players are mainly Stone and Erhei. Integrate players into the scout squad, one for the transmission of information, and the other for the sake of adaptation.
This is a game after all, and players have many natural advantages over NPCs, and these advantages are completely absent from NPCs. In order to form its own intelligence network and train its own professional scouts, the Empire has not spent less money in the past few years.
Now it's time to see the effect, so Lao Jiu still has a lot of expectations when he looks at Wei San's eyes.
"Back to the Emperor, the army of the Australian Alliance has now gained a firm foothold, and the army that entered the Qinling Plain this time has a total of about 2.6 million, and the average strength is at level eighty!" Wei San saluted Lao Jiu and said.
"Among them, 500,000 troops were stationed ten miles away from the east city gate, and the same was true of the west city gate and the north city gate. And a hundred miles northeast of Qinling City, there were also 500,000 troops stationed, forming horns with the enemy troops outside the east and north gates. ”
As he spoke, Wei San took out the small red flag next to the sand table and began to stick it towards the sand table. After planting the small red flag, he took the flag of the rest of the colors and said as he planted it.
"The remaining 600,000 troops are divided into two groups, one here and one here! On the periphery of the enemy's barracks, there are three-meter-high shield carts, which are divided into three tiers, and there are traps in front, even ninety-level cavalry cannot break through this defense. ”
"According to our analysis of the space ring captured by the Qilin Legion, the enemy brought heavy siege equipment this time, not to mention the heavy siege equipment, and also carried half a month's worth of grain and grass. However, it is estimated from the enemy's entry into the Qinling Plain that the opponent's grain and grass should only be enough to last for ten days. ”
"Therefore, the enemy army left barracks along the road, which should be for the subsequent supply of grain and grass. Our men risked their lives to approach the enemy camp and found in the rear of the enemy camp that the other side was forming large siege engines, which was a message from our men. ”
Wei San said, directly projecting a projection into the air. When everyone saw the picture in the air, their expressions began to become solemn. I saw that in the picture, countless people were at the back of the barracks, setting up huge equipment.
These people were obviously professionally trained, and they were seen to line up in rows, and then walk forward in order, and every time they passed, they would take out an object from the spatial ring, and then hand it over to professional personnel to assemble.
The efficiency of these people was very high, and in just half an hour, huge siege equipment was assembled. Among these machines are giant bed crossbows, crash cars, ladders, car shields, catapults, and so on.
"If we let the Qilin Legion raid, is it possible to destroy the enemy's siege engines?" Lao Jiu asked with a frown.
"The biggest advantage of the Qilin Legion is mobility, but the enemy has sent real masters at night, and the movements of our Qilin Legion are all under the control of the enemy, as long as our Qilin Legion moves, the other party will be prepared in advance." Wei San said.
"Now that the enemy's large bed crossbows have been formed, if the cavalry is allowed to charge the camp, not to mention the defense of the periphery, those bed crossbows with amazing lethality alone are enough to severely damage the Qilin Legion, but we have found the enemy's baggage troops."
"You mean to let the Qilin Legion raid the enemy's baggage troops and cut off their food and grass?" Lao Jiu looked at him and asked.
"However, the enemy's defense is very strict, and we can't find out the specific information of the baggage troops for the time being, and the other side has a large number of ninety-level scouts as cover." Wei San said with some shame.
"It's not your fault, the baggage troops are obviously the grain and grass transported, the grain and grass of millions of troops, the space ring alone is far from enough, it seems that the Australian Alliance has also sent a real master, what is Marshal Ma's opinion." Lao Jiu said and looked at Ma Jun.
"The enemy dares to transport grain and grass so openly, obviously he doesn't take the Qilin Legion to heart, and I don't recommend the Qilin Legion to dispatch until the truth is clarified." Ma Jun thought for a moment and said.
"With the enemy's current grain and grass, it is absolutely able to hold out for ten days, and the enemy is likely to lure the enemy by exposing the grain army in advance. And the enemy's baggage forces are still far from the front line, and the opponent may attack tomorrow, so we should now think about how to face tomorrow's siege. ”
"The total strength of Qinling City is only about one million, and the situation of the enemy army is now clear, how is Marshal Ma going to deal with it?" Lao Jiu looked at the sand table and asked.
"The enemy's preparations this time are obviously very sufficient, and we don't have the strength to break the enemy at present, so we can only defend to the death." Ma Jun thought for a moment, frowned and said, "The stone of the city wall of Qinling City is built of ordinary rocks, and it can't stop the damage of the crash at all. ”
"So after the enemy launches a general attack, we have to find a way to destroy the crash first. Based on the projection sent by General Wei alone, we cannot determine the power of the enemy's siege equipment, which is very unfavorable to our layout. ”
"For example, the range of the opponent's bed crossbow, the distance of the catapult, the defense of the shield car, the telescopic height of the ladder platform, and so on! Therefore, I suggest that tomorrow we focus mainly on defense, first find out the details of the enemy, and then formulate a concrete plan. ”
"Marshal Ma has a point, then you give the order!" Lao Jiu said decisively.
"Yes!" Ma Jun answered, then looked at the sand table in front of him, and said while planting a flag, "Gao Meng led an army of 100,000 and was responsible for guarding the east gate." Xu Zhigang led an army of 100,000 to guard the West Gate. I'll sit at the North Gate myself. ”
Under the arrangement of the Ma army, the major generals began to receive orders one after another, each taking charge of their own areas. When the Ma army arranged everything, the entire Qinling City was in operation and began to prepare for tomorrow's big battle.
In the early morning of the next day, when the sun had just emerged, the army of the Australian Alliance appeared in the sight of Qinling City. Due to the flat terrain of the Qinling Plain, the army of the Australian Alliance was very fast, and the shield cart in front was like a moving city wall, escorting the enemy army to the Qinling City.
This kind of shield car of the Australian Alliance is obviously modified, and it is completely different from the shield car that blocks the cavalry, the height alone has reached more than ten meters, and the thickness is almost close to half a meter, which makes Lao Jiu on the city wall look at it for a while.
And the Australian Alliance obviously knows a lot about the Easy Empire, and the tall shield cart is just outside the attack range of the Easy Empire's catapult. Of course, this is also doomed, and the long-range attack of the Australian Alliance will not attack Qinling City for the time being.
"Turning into a barbarian, but someone dares to come out and fight with General Ben!" Seeing that the army was pressing the city, the north gate of Qinling City was opened, and the horse army rushed out of the city gate alone, and then came to the enemy army to call the battle, and Lao Jiu watched quietly at the head of the city.
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Seeing that the Ma army was so heroic, the defenders on the city wall were so aggressive, and the roar shook the entire Qinling City.
"It turned out to be the marshal of the Easy Empire, I'm here to send you to God!" At this time, the enemy's shield cart gave way, and a young man walked out slowly, looked at the horse army in front of him and said, "Remember, my name is Kurt Robt." ”
Lao Jiu looked at it, this Robt was also a ninety-seven-level strength, and it seemed that he was also a master of the Australian Alliance. He held a spear in his hand, apparently an artifact. However, the armor on his body is not an artifact, just top-notch amethyst equipment.
"Dismount and kill you today!" Ma Jun didn't talk nonsense, he stepped on the horseback with his feet, and then the whole person went directly towards Robut, and the Qinglong Yanyue Knife in his hand slashed straight down.
"Sonorous!" Knowing that the level of the horse army was higher than his own, Robt did not make a hard connection, but made a mistake and did not let go of the blade, and then the spear in his hand rose up, blocking the horse army's big knife, and at the moment when the horse army landed, the spear stabbed the horse army's right rib at a strange angle.
"Boom......" Ma Jun slashed on the ground without panic, but with his left foot as the axis, with the force of the countershock from the knife, he rotated, allowing Robt to stab directly against his waist.
However, Robt's reaction was not slow, and after a shot was stabbed, he directly changed the stab to a sweep, and the spear swept towards the waist of the horse army. However, after Ma Jun turned around, the broadsword jumped up from the bottom up, and it was picked right in the middle of the spear.
"Dang!" Hearing only a crisp sound, the huge shock force from the blade made Robt directly slash back a few meters, and after he stood firm, his hands were still trembling slightly, which made the muscles on his face twitch.
"Yes, come again!" The Ma army was obviously happy to see the hunt, and did not attack while Robt was retreating, but waited for him to stand firm before he roared and killed with a big knife.
