Volume 1 Searching for Ruins in Troubled Times Chapter 126 A Defeat

In Youzhou, Northland, the first snow fell in November.

Although the heavy snow covered up the bloody smell on the battlefield, it did not bring any cooling to the battle! On the contrary, the first large-scale plot is in full swing. On the right Beiping side, Gongsun Zan and Zhang Chun played several games and almost killed Qiu Liju. The appointment of a new lieutenant general by the imperial court has been completely forgotten, and there has been no new commander since Meng Yi was transferred, as if Gongsun Zhan's command in the north has been tacitly acquiesced.

If you have to talk about the reinforcements from the imperial court, there is only Liu Yu who has a lot of thunder and a little rain. This royal family has never carried out any active struggle except for the external bonus, and his prestige is much inferior to that of Gongsun Zhan.

The fierce battle on the main battlefield of Youbeiping did not affect Feirucheng, and Xu Yang led 100,000 troops to defend Feirucheng. This time, Su Muyan's troops besieged Feirucheng with a full 600,000 army, and Xu Yang also asked Gongsun Zan for reinforcements, but the war was urgent, and the other party besieged the city and died.

In the face of the enemy's single-mindedness of wanting to kill himself, Xu Yang was a little confused by the monk! It stands to reason that Su Muyan's troops did not have too much friction with themselves, and even if there were, it was a matter for the other party to besiege themselves first, why did they suddenly become endless? Xu Yang thought to no avail, so he could only attribute the answer to the character of the grassland people, since the firefight, he had to fight to the end.

However, Xu Yang is not afraid, as long as Xiang Hu's troops are repaired, it will be the time for his army to counterattack. Don't look at the 600,000 troops outside the city, but Xu Yang believes that these troops are not single-minded, otherwise Su Muyan would not be able to hold the city for so long even if he forcibly attacked the city! Now the enemy's army is besieging him below, which means that the enemy has no determination to attack the city, which also gives him a chance.

When patrolling the city wall, Gao Chong came head-on, and it seemed that he was looking for Xu Yang in an emergency.

"My lord, I finally found you! The direction of the north gate has just come to report, and it was found that the enemy did not know where to transport the siege vehicles and the well fence, and it was preliminarily confirmed that there were three siege vehicles and about ten well fences, and now the battle has been set up at the north gate. This time, I'm afraid the enemy will move seriously! Gao Chong said with an excited expression.

This is not to blame him, after all, the enemy has been besieging the city for a long time. Xu Yang did not allow the army to order to go out of the city to attack, and the two sides were so deadlocked, Gao Chong was also holding back the fire in his heart.

Xu Yang nodded silently, when he took the Golden Wing Kunpeng to inspect yesterday, he found that the enemy's baggage team was a little too much. There is no need for such a big posture in the normal grain and grass troops, and now it seems that this group of guys is hiding all the siege equipment in the grain and grass, and wants to catch themselves off guard!

"Gao Chong, you go to the north gate to command the battle! No matter what monsters the enemy sends to attack the city, be sure to hold out until dark! If I do not return after dark, then I will allow you to abandon some of your forces and abandon the city...... Until then, not a single living enemy can appear on the Fat Walls! Xu Yang ordered strictly.

"Order!" Hearing that Xu Yang gave him the command of the North Gate, where the war was about to break out, Gao Chong replied excitedly.

Just about to ask where Xu Yang was going, Gao Chong swallowed the words that came to his mouth again! He has a good personal relationship with Xu Yang, but this is not a reason why he can overstep his authority, since the lord said so, he must have a reason to say so, thinking of this, Gao Chong walked quickly towards the north gate.

The time of the enemy's siege was about noon, perhaps because the assembly of these siege equipment was not skilled for the steppe people, and it took a whole morning for the enemy to study these siege vehicles and well fences! A group of brave steppe warriors went into battle shirtless, slowly pushing the siege vehicles to advance towards the Feiru city gate, and a group of grassland elite archers stood on the towering well railings, relying on the geographical advantages provided by the well railings, they were able to carry out long-range mutual attacks with the archers of the defending troops at once.

The well fence is also equipped with cowhide wrapped protection, leaving a bow and arrow mouth for shooting, and the bow and arrow of the defending side of the city are effective for a while! And this scene waited until Gao Chong appeared at the North City Gate before waiting for relief!

"Scattered star elite, short gun throwing! Pierce the enemy's cardboard protection! "Gao Chong brought his scattered elites, these infantry are a special class of troops to restrain cavalry, and carrying short guns with them is the standard configuration of the troops!

Swish!

As a wave of short spears was thrown, a large number of places where the cowhide armor, which had been able to resist stray arrows, appeared to be pierced by the short spears. The short spear thrown by the Scattered Star Elite can even be pierced by a horse in a short distance, and its strength can be imagined, in the face of the constantly approaching well fence, the protection above is disintegrated by the Scattered Star Elite little by little!

Thundered......

Under the city gate, the siege vehicle successfully pasted to the position of the city gate under the control of the well railing.

"Oil!" Gao Chong ordered unhurriedly.

A pot of boiling oil that had just been heated was sprinkled directly from the top of the city gate, although the siege vehicle had already had protective equipment, but these days the garrison materials in the fat city have not been too much consumption, so the boiling oil is very sufficient! A large amount of hot boiling oil was sprinkled, and the protection formed by the cowhide sac was not huge, and occasionally there were one or two exposed positions, that is, a scream!

After the oil was boiling, the stroke car that was just about to move encountered the second threat - rockets! The boiling oil that has just been sprinkled is naturally not only for scalding the enemy, but also for ignition!

Call......

With the sound of the breaking wind, rockets were fired at the protective sacs made of cowhide. The originally hot oil pit immediately turned into a sea of fire, and although the troops under the siege vehicle did not suffer many casualties, they were no longer able to continue to control the siege vehicle for siege due to the high temperature! After all, under such high temperatures, even if people can endure the high temperature, some parts of the siege vehicle are no longer so flexible, and continuing to hit the city gate will only lead to boiling oil penetrating into the city, and then the fire will be unstoppable, and the siege vehicle will be scrapped!

"Retreat!"

With the raging fire, the soldiers under the siege vehicle slowly withdrew from the top of the city gate, as for the fire extinguishing work, the siege vehicle was designed with cowhide and other objects to do fire protection, this is still not to worry!

Seeing that the enemy's siege vehicle withdrew from the city gate area, Gao Chong had no intention of continuing to chase and kill. The biggest threat at the moment is those well fences, once these guys get close to the city wall, then the enemy will be able to kill the city wall from the well fence in a steady stream, and then it will be a Shura battlefield!

"The bed crossbow troop is aimed at me and boom! Before the enemy's well bars can get close to the walls, you must blast out more than five well bars for me! Gao Chong no longer hid his hole cards, and ordered the bed crossbow troops to start a precise attack on the support point of the well rail!

Several pillars of the well fence are all wooden, and when the bed crossbow is aimed at the bombardment, as long as you hit it, you can destroy one, but this difficulty is not ordinarily high! This is the reason why Gao Chong decided to expose the bed crossbow troops in Bright Moon City, a single bed crossbow could not be bombarded so accurately!

The enemy's well fence moved much slower than the siege engine, and fifty meters from the city wall, the bed crossbow on the wall began to shoot accurately.

The actual effect was not so ideal, the first round of twenty bed crossbows was fired, but only the leg of a well fence was crippled, and the pace of the attack was a little slower......

The battle at the north gate was in full swing, Xu Yang took the Golden Wing Kunpeng to leave again, and before leaving, he patrolled the enemy's encirclement, and did not find any abnormal movements of the enemy in the direction of the other gates, so he went directly! Xu Yang has absolute confidence in Gao Chong's guarded fat city, if he can't even do this thing, then Gao Chong's title of super-first-class historical general can really be withdrawn!

The fat city is in full swing, and the city of Beiping is hidden but not hairy. The whole city seems to be a beast about to erupt, and the black clouds in the sky are even more breathless!

In front of the temporary command post in the city, several soldiers in armor patrolled back and forth, scanning any suspicious person with a serious face, without any relaxation.

But just when they turned and saw less, several figures quietly flashed into the mansion, if you look closely, you will know that these people are all light bow masters, and they should belong to the Jianghu Ranger family! And these people are good at hiding, falling into the house from different angles, but not alarming any of the patrol guards!

Whoosh......

Two figures followed closely behind, and this time they appeared even more sophisticated, these two people obviously came with the previous group of people, but they were not discovered by the front, and there was a feeling that the praying mantis was catching cicadas and yellow finches.

Not long after the two waves of people entered the Youbeiping Mansion, there was a burst of chaos in the mansion, first the firewood house in the backyard caught fire, and then some living rooms were stolen, and some people kept saying that they saw some Jiangbei thieves, and for a time the Youbeiping Mansion became extremely chaotic......

But Zhang Chun's living room turned a deaf ear to these movements, and a team of guards guarded it tightly. I didn't notice that on the eaves not far away, a pair of blood-red eyes seemed to be waiting for the prey of the goshawk staring at it closely.

"Don't worry about the movement outside, it's just some small fish and shrimp! No matter what happens, you will stay here for me to protect General Ben......" Zhang Chun stepped out of the inner room and ordered the soldiers guarding outside.

It is not an exaggeration to say that these soldiers are his cronies, or rather dead! And in this inner room are him and Zhang Ju, not long ago he received a secret guarantee, and the reward issued by Liu Yu was accepted by some Jianghu rangers, which is not a good thing for Zhang Chun!

These rangers don't talk about any rules, poisoning, drugged, hidden arrow traps, but they will use any means that can work! Moreover, these Jianghu rangers have strong individual ability, but fortunately, they have a large-scale force to protect, as long as they pay more attention! And those movements in the courtyard just now, Zhang Chun naturally understood that those Jianghu rangers made it, and while protecting the safety of himself and Zhang Ju, he ordered the government soldiers to comprehensively search for any suspicious persons!

In fact, Zhang Chun was also curious about how these guys got into Youbeiping, where the two armies were fighting, but no one seemed to give him an answer to this question. If you have to have an answer, if the people in the rivers and lakes can't even enter the door, what are they called rangers!

The small fighting in the Youbeiping Mansion continued until 10 o'clock in the evening, when there were three fires throughout the afternoon, five domestic servants were poisoned, and a lot of jewelry was lost. To say that these things have nothing to do with it, that Zhang Chun absolutely does not believe it, but at this moment he no longer has the black scales in his hands, and he can only choose to forbear such a trivial matter.

As night fell, the fighting outside the city gradually subsided. The Karasuma people's well fence was half destroyed after an afternoon of fierce fighting, and several more dangerous situations were Gao Chong personally rushed up to stop the enemy's offensive, in the face of the siege that was much larger than his own, Gao Chong also opened his own exclusive skill in the afternoon, and the whole finally survived this afternoon without danger!

"I don't know if the lord has come back, in just one afternoon, the North City Gate lost nearly 20,000 people, which can be described as unprecedentedly heavy!" Gao Chong was heartbroken when he thought of the huge damage caused to his side by relying on the location of the enemy's well fence in the afternoon.

The Karasuma people are already good at using bows and arrows, and they are even more comfortable with the topography of the upper well fence. The position of the archers on the well railing was slightly higher than that of the defenders on the city wall, so that the entire city wall was the first to enter the enemy's attack area, which led to heavy losses for the defenders of the north gate this time.

Thinking that the enemy might organize a similar attack tomorrow, Gao Chong was still a little nervous in his heart! The role of siege equipment is too important, and the enemy has a numerical advantage, and his side wants to kill and destroy the well fence, but the troops who go out of the city like that have almost no chance of survival, this is completely in exchange for the enemy's siege resources, and this is not a desirable tactic before figuring out the situation!

Just when Gao Chong was worried, Xu Yang took the Golden Wing Kunpeng and landed directly on the North City Gate! Since the size of the Golden Wing Kunpeng was so easy to identify from the outside, the matter of defending the city did not carry out any means of attack, but welcomed Xu Yang back very politely!

After falling, Xu Yang asked Gao Chong in a dusty manner: "How is it, how is the loss this afternoon?" ”

At this time, the Karasuma people no longer attacked the city, after all, in the dark night, there was a huge disadvantage for the Karasuma people, who were not good at attacking the city. This also gave Xu Yang time to prepare for the next step!

"My lord, this afternoon's battle is extremely tragic! Although his subordinates destroyed more than half of the enemy's well fences, they believe that the enemy will reorganize the siege force tomorrow, and with today's experience, I am afraid that our losses will be even greater tomorrow! Gao Chong briefly reported the battle situation in the afternoon, and reported that he had lost nearly 20,000 troops in one afternoon - of course, almost all of those troops were sixth-order troops.

Hearing the death figure of 20,000, Xu Yang couldn't help but be shocked. It seems that the strength of the enemy's siege force should be around the seventh order, otherwise just by virtue of the advantage of the well fence, he would not have slaughtered so many of his troops in one afternoon, it seems that the strength of the NPC force is really not something that players can shake!

"Okay, this is a reflection of the lack of strength of our army, in the face of a strong siege force, you have done a very good job of holding on to Feiru City, don't blame yourself so much!" Xu Yang comforted, "Next, you organize the scattered star elite to rest, and then we have a big chess game to play in the middle of the night!" ”

Hearing Xu Yang say that there was a big chess to play, Gao Chong's eyes immediately flashed with a fine light! He knew that Xu Yang must have brought new means when he went back this time, so he excitedly led the scattered star elite down to rest!

After arranging some patrol soldiers for the defense on the city wall, Xu Yang came to the square of the fat city!

At this moment, the Feirucheng Square has been completely isolated, and the troops of Mingyue City are under martial law on the periphery, plus the curfew of Feirucheng, even a fly can't fly in!

Standing in the center of the square, Xu Yang's hands began to gather obscure energy with a mysterious gesture, and these energies gathered on Xu Yang's gestures, gradually forming a palm-sized vortex.

The vortex went from vague to clear, from the size of a palm to the size of a bucket, to the height of a person, and finally to the size of three meters high and two meters wide, and finally stopped, and gradually stabilized. The original edge energy gradually enriched, forming a solid pillar to fix the vortex!

Xu Yang shouted in a deep voice: "Sumeru medium technique, fixed!" ”

With this sound, the area inside the door, which was originally still a whirlpool, gradually became clear, and what was reflected was a verdant landscape, which was the scene in the Great Sumeru Mountain!

A person rode out of the door on a tall horse, and it was Xiang Hu who had returned to Mingyue City! At this moment, Xiang Hu is no longer an ordinary general, after transferring to the overlord iron cavalry of more than 10,000 people, Xiang Hu was automatically promoted to the captain of the overlord iron cavalry. Don't underestimate this captain, that is the lieutenant colonel of the special arms of the Overlord Iron Cavalry, with such an identity, Xiang Hu commanded the Overlord Iron Cavalry to be even more handy.

"Xiang Hu, let your troops come out! We still have big chess to play in the second half of the night! Xu Yang immediately ordered.

Xiang Hu was still immersed in the magical scenery of the previous world, and he was slightly stunned for Xu Yang's order before he answered: "Yes!" That one...... Lord, can you ...... in the future?"

"I know what you want to say, in the future, when the troops in Mingyue City develop, every unit will have the opportunity to enter there to cultivate, so you can stop the ink and do serious things!" Xu Yang naturally knew Xiang Hu's thoughts at the moment, even if he breathed in the Great Sumeru Mountain, he felt that he was growing, how could Xiang Hu not want to be in such a place?

Without waiting for Xiang Hu's troops to come out much, Xu Yang was completely stunned by a system and stood there in a daze......

Bite! System prompt: The rebel general Zhang Chun was successfully assassinated, the rebel emperor Zhang Ju committed suicide due to excessive grief, and the rebel army collapsed.

Bite! System Prompt: ......

Bite......
