Chapter 341: Shamanic Totem Pole
When Lao Jiu arrived at Bat City, he began to besiege Orcheng with the army of the Easy Empire. However, he broke into Or'er City alone, relying on his own excellent strength, he destroyed the teleportation array strongly, and burned down the city's food reserves with one fire!
The siege of the city is really a taboo for soldiers, so Lao Jiu has always kept a gap in the north of the city. Every day, people provoked under the city walls and persuaded the enemy to open the gates and surrender. Seeing that the 500,000 army was enough to deter the other party, Lao Jiu began to transfer troops to Zhanabazar City.
After Lao Jiu cut off the other party's back road, the only food left in Or'er City was only enough for the entire city for more than ten days. And all the Escapees need to do is wait! As long as they waited for ten days and half a month, Orcheng would naturally be breached.
However, on the fifth day, when the five major armies of Qilin, Qinglong, Taotao, Xuanwu, and Jinwu had just arrived at the foot of Zhanabazar City, the million defenders of Orcheng rushed out of the north gate of Orcheng overnight with surplus grain, and fled all the way to the north.
So far, the entire Orcheng has been self-defeating. After the Empire left the Northeast Army to accept the city, it was pursued by the Bloodthirsty and Northwest Legions. And Lao Jiu took the two legions of killing and demons to the front to intercept.
He didn't want the Mongol Empire's army to flee back to Ulan City unharmed. This army has been moving north along the border line between Mongolia and Russia, and Lao Jiu began to move towards the city of Zhanabazar after releasing two major legions on their way, and he was ready to repeat his old tricks and take the city of Zhanabazar in one fell swoop.
At the same time, the undead cavalry is in the northern steppe, and the 400,000 iron cavalry of Ulan City are carrying out raids one after another. The elusive undead cavalry, the iron cavalry of Ulan City, which directly hit them, began to turn around and return, fleeing directly towards Ulan City.
However, what Lao Jiu didn't expect was that when he rushed to the city of Zhanabazar, the army of the Mongol Empire actually fled the city first. The official Mongol Empire directly abandoned the city of Zhanabazar and let the army begin to retreat north!
The main reason why the Mongol Empire decisively abandoned these two cities was that the Mongol Empire no longer had any surplus combat power. Today's two million troops can almost be said to be the only remaining army of the Mongol Empire, and they can't afford to lose them.
When he was outside the gate, Lao Jiu was south of the Jiehe River and killed nearly one million troops of the Mongol Empire. The Battle of Lake Gillastt annihilated nearly one million elites of the Mongol Empire. And nearly half of the 500,000 iron cavalry supported by Ulan City in the south have now been lost in the hands of the undead cavalry.
If these two million troops were trapped to death again, then the Mongol Empire would really be left without soldiers. However, Lao Jiu was obviously not ready to let go of these two armies, he almost maximized the advantages of himself and He's Bi, and began to pursue and intercept the two armies along the road.
Today's two-way army is as anxious as a lost dog, busy as a fish that has slipped through the net, and there is still a little morale there. Especially when it was pursued by the Loose Army to the rear of the army, the entire retreating army was in a mess, and it was difficult to maintain even the most basic formation.
And after the news of the ambush came from the front, the entire army began to scatter and flee. This made Lao Jiu have to sigh at the training quality of the Mongol army, as well as his heartfelt devotion to the empire. It seems that on top of military training, the Mongol Empire was a real failure.
Because in Lao Jiu's opinion, these armies of the Mongol Empire have no military spirit at all, and they don't even have a strong sense of belonging to the empire. For this kind of problem, in Lao Jiu's opinion, it is very serious.
Originally, with the financial and material resources of the Empire, it was still very easy to train a large number of troops. In fact, the number of troops in the previous Xiaoyao Empire was only maintained at about five million, and one of the most important reasons for this was the soldiers' sense of belonging to the empire and the poor cultivation of cohesion.
Because Lao Jiu has never regarded the NPCs of the Easy Empire as data, because in his opinion, the personal emotions of NPCs are almost not much different from those of players. Therefore, when he conscripted, he had to meet two conditions.
The first is that you must start a family and have your own family in the Empire, so that you can have a sense of belonging to the Empire.
The second is that in the first three months of training, you must pass the heartfelt test of the empire and establish your own faith. And the only belief of all the armies of the Carefree Empire is the Freedom Emperor Lao Jiu!
For the army of the Easy Empire, Lao Jiu has never been stingy. Whether it is military salary, food, logistics services, and compensation for martyrs, the Empire is almost the best. Let's put it in the simplest terms.
All soldiers of the Empire, as long as they reach the age of starting a family and start a business, after choosing their lovers, the Empire will provide a set of shelter for free, and at the same time allocate land, as well as a month's family allowance.
Such welfare, invisibly, has been greatly enhanced, and the sense of belonging of the soldiers of the Empire has made the entire army more cohesive. Unlike the army of the Xiaoyao Empire, the army of the Mongol Empire, in terms of imperial faith, seems to be much worse.
In just one month, half of the entire Mongol Empire fell into the hands of the Easy Empire. And the pursuit of several armies of the Xiaoyao Empire caused heavy losses to the Mongol Empire, and less than 500,000 of the more than 2 million soldiers finally fled back to Ulan City!
This was a catastrophic blow to the Mongol Empire. In mid-May, 800,000 free-spirited troops were stationed directly outside the city of Kyoto and Ulan in the Mongol Empire. This time, the army of the Empire directly besieged the city of Ulan.
Because Lao Jiu knew that the Mongol Empire would not abandon Kyoto, he had no intention of leaving a way to live for the imperial capital of the Mongol Empire. When the army was stationed, the logistics team of the Xiaoyao Empire began to send a large number of supplies to the front line through Orcheng.
Judging from the approach of the Empire, it is obvious that it is preparing to fight for a long time. With the background of the Mongol Empire, Lao Jiu didn't believe that they didn't have any hole cards. Therefore, he did not venture into the city, but prepared to besiege but not attack, and first fought psychological warfare with the other party.
Sure enough, on the night when the Xiaoyao army besieged Ulan City, there was a fire in Ulan City. On the square of Ulan City, a huge totem pillar stretched out to the sky, and all of them were some strange totems.
Lao Jiu was stunned at that time, he looked at the city from the air, and the people in the city seemed to be dancing the gods. The totem pole exuded a mixture of light, almost filling the entire city, such a big scene, really suppressed Lao Jiu.
He originally wanted to swallow this imperial capital in one go, but the other party's god jumped, which made Lao Jiudu not only hesitate. Early the next morning, Lao Jiu brought siege equipment, and the shield cart began to drive to the city of Ulan City, and the rear car slaves followed.
In order to clarify the situation, Lao Jiu could only launch a wave of tentative attacks first. He let the shield cart clear the way, and then fired a salvo of bed crossbows, wanting to order a row of ladders above the city wall, and then use crossbow arrows to suppress it, and try to attack the city first.
The siege system of the Easy Empire is almost invincible, and now the old nine tricks are repeated. But who knew the result surprised him, because what happened next almost subverted Lao Jiu's cognition.
The enemy doesn't seem to care about the shield cart or the attack of the bed crossbow. Because when a large number of crossbow arrows were shot at the city wall with a piercing sound of breaking the sky, the totem pillar in the city that reached the sky once again emitted a blended light.
When the light covered the entire city wall, countless crossbow arrows shot on the city wall, the city wall was like a blessed shield, and instantly became extremely hard, almost comparable to a sub-artifact, countless crossbow arrows shot up, just emitting countless sonorous sounds.
When Lao Jiu looked over, there was not a single crossbow arrow on the city wall, which not only made Lao Jiu dumbfounded. is such a support skill, which almost made Lao Jiu's siege plan stillborn. If you can't borrow strength on the city wall, then the difficulty of breaking through Ulan City will increase almost a hundredfold.
Lao Jiu, who did not give up, was ready to go to the city in person to test the hardness of the city wall. But when he was just a distance away from the city wall, a beam of light shot out from the totem pole and shone directly on Lao Jiu's body, which surprised Lao Jiu.
"You have been cursed by the shaman's sacrifice, and all stats are reduced by 50% for a month!" After hearing the prompt of the system, Lao Jiu relieved himself, fortunately it was not a perverted attack. But the curse on his body was lifted in the next moment, for no other reason than because of the harmony in his arms.
Pretending to be surprised, Lao Jiu hurriedly retreated, and at this time he was thinking about another question. If this curse can be used on a large scale, then it will be almost impossible to capture Ulan City.
Because of this curse, everyone's strength will be reduced by half, which is almost half a life for everyone. For this risk, Lao Jiu didn't think it was worth the risk, so he could only temporarily return to the camp and prepare to think of another way.
The teleportation array of Ulan City is ironclad and unbreakable, and with the development of agriculture and animal husbandry in the Mongol Empire, the grain reserves in Ulan City are definitely enough for Ulan City to eat for a year. What's more, behind Ulan City, there are four main cities to rely on.
After thinking about it again, Lao Jiu decided to withdraw first, and when the defeated country was stabilized, he would make another plan. Especially until he finds a way to deal with the giant totem pole, he is not ready to risk attacking ** Lancheng.
A siege battle that had attracted the attention of the world turned out to be like this, which made countless players begin to pay attention to the totem pole of the Mongol Empire. This is the true heritage of the Mongol Empire, and it has been passed down from town to country.
After the retreat of the Empire, it began to stabilize its territory, and then vigorously developed agriculture and animal husbandry. The land resources left by the Mongol Empire to the Xiaoyao Empire can be regarded as the biggest harvest of the Xiaoyao Empire.
