Chapter 501: Defending Ningyuan City
Wang Siying's bow was taken out, but he never sent out an arrow, because he never saw the enemy's generals! That's the reality of war in Fair World! The siege troops are basically besieging the city in the front, and supervising the battle in the back, how can there be generals rushing to the front!
This is what siege looks like in the era of cold weapons, there are many ways to siege the city, and the way to defend the city is also different! As for what method to use to attack and defend, it all depends on the strategic purpose! Some siege cities are like the Ningyuan City guarded by Wang Siying, and the besieging side has no time, so they have to fight quickly! How to solve it quickly, of course, is to take a pile of people! After the shield array of the Zhongzhou soldiers formed a battle line by the moat, the archers in the rear quickly rushed over, and behind their own shield array, they lined up in several horizontal lines and squatted on the ground! The line was lined up, the horns of the archers attacked, and the first row of archers stood up and shot the arrows in their hands above the city wall in front! The archers who had finished shooting the arrows immediately crouched down, the archers in the back row stood up, shot the arrows in their hands and crouched down again, and then the archers in the third row shot their arrows...
The battle between the archers is the real beginning of the siege! The soldiers defending the city all have special archery battlements, and the Liao soldiers all hid under the daughter wall, put the arrows on the bow, and stood up and shot the arrows in their hands when they were full! From standing up to shooting the arrow in his hand and then crouching, that is, tens of seconds, even in these tens of seconds, many people were shot by the opponent's arrows! The equipment of the Liao soldiers is mainly light armor, an arrow, the damage is terrible, a one-meter-long arrow shaft is worn on the body, this side is no past feathers, and there is a bloody arrow there! The ones that can be exposed from the battlement are the vital parts! Therefore, the Liao soldiers who were hit by the arrow basically did not die, and they all lost their combat ability! The logistics soldiers hurriedly ran up and down, carrying the city defense equipment up the city wall, and at the same time carrying the casualties down the city wall and carrying them to the rear!
The losses of defending the city are great, and the losses of the siege are even greater! The defending side is a condescending attack, both in terms of lethality and shooting distance, which is incomparable to the besieging side! The Liao soldiers defending the city are covered by the daughter wall, and the only thing that can cover the archers of the Zhongzhou soldiers is the thin shield array! The arrows of the Liao soldiers flew down, and the Zhongzhou soldiers fell in pieces! Fortunately, the number of Zhongzhou soldiers was superior, and after a few rounds of arrow rain, the siege strategy had the advantage! Of course, this is in exchange for life and blood! In just a few dozen minutes, more than 10,000 Zhongzhou soldiers and archers fell under Ningyuan City! The arrows on the city were a little sparse, and the shield array under the city changed formation, revealing a lot of gaps! Without any cover, the engineers of the Zhongzhou soldiers rushed out of the gap in the shield array with thick wooden poles in their hands, and jumped into the deep moat without hesitation! The bottom of the moat is full of sharpened wooden and bamboo thorns! The first platoon of engineers jumped down and was stabbed to death in the water! Suddenly, the clear blue water of the moat overflowed with red flowers! The Liao soldiers in the city also moved the main attack target to the exposed engineering soldiers! The pressure of the archers under the city was small, and suddenly the offensive was big again! The arrows that are being shot at the city are even more dense!
The sun at noon scorched the earth, and also scorched the battle of the northern city wall of Ningyuan City! Time passed minute by minute, and on the moat of Ningyuan City, the engineers of the Zhongzhou soldiers finally used the corpses of their companions and the thick logs in their hands to erect pontoon bridges on the moat! The water of the moat has also turned crimson! I can't tell if it's the water ginseng blood or the blood ginseng water! The pontoon bridge was erected, and the death squad of the Zhongzhou soldiers rushed up with a ladder! The person in front was shot to death, and the person behind picked up the ladder and continued to run forward! The Liao soldiers were already overwhelmed at this time! The difference in the number of people is a bloody reality! Wang Siying took 30,000 people by sea, the purpose was to occupy Ningyuan City by surprise and cut off the rear supply of Zhongzhou soldiers, but he didn't plan to defend Ningyuan City! The 400,000 troops of the Liao State were dispatched, and they should be able to wipe out the Zhongzhou soldiers who had lost their supplies in the rear under Shengjing City! Who knows, the Zhongzhou soldiers suddenly withdrew their troops overnight and withdrew the main force!
This move is really not what Wang Siying thought of! Seeing the rapid attrition of the Liao soldiers, the physical strength of the soldiers was also seriously overdrawn! Qian Liu's voice was so hoarse that he was almost speechless! There is not a single reserve force, how can this battle be fought!?
The death squad of the Zhongzhou soldiers in the corpse of their brother with great difficulty set up the ladder on the wall of Ningyuan City!
"Rush!" The siege troops rushed over like a tidal wave with a shout!
Looking at the dense Zhongzhou soldiers like ants, Qian Liu's heart was wow cool!
"Master, I'm afraid I can't stand this!"
"Alright! Let my brother transfer half of the defenders at the south gate! Wang Siying also knew that without a new force, the city could be captured in the first round! He also knew that if the Shanhaiguan side came to reinforce at this time and attacked Ningyuan City on both sides, the Liao soldiers defending the city would have no way out! But the current situation is that Shanhaiguan can't take care of it!
Wang Siying stood on the battlement of the North City Gate, and the range spells were thrown under the North City Gate one after another! The corpses of the Zhongzhou soldiers who attacked the city gate have been stacked several times! Wang Siying shot a few arrows in total, and felt that she had only killed a few captain-level Zhongzhou soldiers! I haven't seen the generals all the time! At this time, he was holding a golden dragon ball in his left hand and casting a range spell in his right hand! Standing on top of the battlements of the city wall, he easily dodged the arrows that rained down on him!
Siege the city, one is to climb the wall, the other is to hit the door! The people who climb the wall are the most dangerous, and the nightmare of the besieging party begins precisely when they come to the bottom of the city wall, and the rolling wood and stones on the city are very easy to solve the enemy army under the city wall! The troops attacking the city gate were dozens of people carrying huge logs and slamming into the city gate! If the besieging side can move the logs attacking the city gate into the gate hole, it will be a matter of time before the city is captured! The current log of the Zhongzhou soldiers is under the north gate of Ningyuan City, but there is either fire or snow near the log, and no one touches the log alive, and the vicinity of the log has become the cemetery of the Zhongzhou soldiers!
"The hosts! We have less than 5,000 people! Qian Liu shouted hoarsely!
"Is my brother's people here?" Wang Siying spoke, but her hand didn't stop!
"Coming soon!" As Qian Liu spoke, he suddenly squatted down and dodged a stray arrow!
"When my brother's people arrive, we will withdraw our people to the south gate and replace the rest of the people at the south gate!" Wang Siying also jumped off the battlement, squatted down, and dodged the arrow!
"That's the only way to solve the problem right now!" Qian Liumao bent on his waist and ran to supervise the battle! Wang Siying continued to climb the battlements of the city wall and cast a range spell! There are logs hitting the city gate, and the Zhongzhou soldiers will come here in an endless stream and come to Wang Siying's spell!
When a few Zhongzhou soldiers climbed the city wall one after another, the Liao soldiers guarding the south gate arrived and quickly threw the people wearing the armor of Zhongzhou soldiers on the city wall off the city wall! The pressure of defending the city suddenly lightened a lot!
The 5,000 people from the south gate were in place, and Qian Liu immediately ordered the soldiers who were originally guarding the north gate to withdraw to the south gate! The war is so cruel, just now Qian Liu was still reporting to Wang Siying, saying that there were 5,000 people left, but by the time the defense was withdrawn, it was already less than 4,000! The people who withdrew from the Liao soldiers were all red-eyed, how could they be human after all, and their physical strength was seriously overdrawn, which one came down from the city wall, not that the body was stiff and the muscles were sore! The 4,000 defeated soldiers quickly mounted their horses and rushed to the south gate, knowing that if they arrived at the south gate one minute earlier, the defenders of the south gate would be able to reach the north gate one minute earlier! The miss time at the North Gate will be delayed a lot!
In the 3 hours of the siege, all the defenders of the south gate and the defenders of the north gate completed the change of defense! However, at this time, Wang Siying's total number of soldiers was less than 12,000! Except for the 4,000 people who changed the south gate in the past, the number of people guarding the north gate is less than 8,000!
Wang Siying was still standing on the battlement of the city wall and casting his range spell, and near the log that hit the door, there was already a mountain of corpses!
Under the sunshine in the west, a handsome young man, in the rain of arrows of the enemy, stood on the battlement of the city wall, holding a pale yellow dragon ball in his left hand, and his right hand was held high, within a few dozen meters below his front, lightly fluttering snowflakes! This light snowflake is very incompatible with the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the corpses like mountains and the blood water like a stream under the snowflakes are even more terrible! This handsome young man, in the eyes of Zhongzhou Bing, seems to have become a grim reaper! In his cold eyes, the arrogance of Zhongzhou Bing also became worthless! This scene is a video taken by players in Ningyuan City outside the north gate of Ningyuan City, and it was forwarded on the forum! The title is, a national war with only one player! This should be the first national war in the world with players in the year since the game was launched! Not only players in the Northeast are watching, but players all over the country and even the world are also broadcasting this real-time video broadcast! At first, the players in the war zone around Shengjing City had nothing to do, and they went offline to watch the forum, and then many people stopped fighting monsters and went offline to watch the forum. Seeing the handsome boy guarding the north gate of Ningyuan City, there were basically no people, when he was handsome, it was just at the beginning, and no one paid attention to it at the beginning! Later, when someone noticed it and started recording, people couldn't recognize who was there to cast the spell! Wang Siying was in the rain of arrows, and what she could dodge was a fatal injury, and after a few hours, there would be dozens of abrasions on her bare face! Blood and sweat are mixed together, and it is no longer visible! The Liao Kingdom Regent suit he was wearing was already full of holes, and the snow-white snow wolf suit had already become as red as Santa Claus! The wolf's tail pendant on the helmet has long been shot by arrows, making the helmet, which was originally beautiful, now look like a beggar elder! Fortunately, the Zhongzhou soldiers did not concentrate their firepower on Wang Siying, so he was only proud of 10,000 people for a few hours! Every spell that fell under the city was a piece of Zhongzhou soldiers who fell, and the players who watched the forum were amazed! Many female gamers couldn't help but scream!
Between Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City is the mountains and the sea, there is a narrow passage between the mountains and the sea, which connects Shanhaiguan and Ningyuan City like a corridor, so people call this the West Liaoning Corridor! From inside the customs to outside the gates, the Liaoning West Corridor is the only passage! It is a natural channel, not artificially opened! The original appearance of this place is also roughly maintained in the game, but the Liaoxi Corridor in the game is an avenue, but it is not very wide, and it can only accommodate 3 large cars passing side by side at a time! On the west side of the road is a towering mountain, and on the east side is a cliff, and a few dozen meters below the cliff is the rushing and roaring sea! Less than 50 miles away from Shanhaiguan, there are actually patches of camp tents blocking the western Liaoning corridor! In the tent in the middle of the camp tent, the squad leader who sold Ning Yuan City sat down! Anyway, a small captain can sell a Ning Yuan City? However, at that time, the system still recognized the transaction between the team leader and Wang Siying! Why? Don't look at the defenders of Ningyuan City at that time, there were no less than 5,000 people, but the vast majority of them belonged to the logistics personnel who transported materials, and the regular troops were 4 squads, less than 600 people, and the squad leader was the highest rank of the defenders on duty at that time, so he sold Ningyuan City for a price based on the principle of having the right not to expire and invalidate! He sold Ningyuan City and didn't enter Shanhaiguan, but blocked the road, what was he going to do? There was no other reason, it was just that his 10 smuggling guests wanted to go offline to see the video of some forum, at first, he didn't agree to it, but when Miss Chun put a few big money bags in front of him, he didn't insist anymore, found a few other squad leaders, and threw the money bags he had divided in advance to them, and 5,000 people set up the camp here!
The brothers have been running for a day, and there is nothing wrong with setting up camp and resting! The team leader thought about all kinds of variables, but he still lay down and fell asleep with a smile!
"Spring! Answer Jin Ying's call! Deng Nan looked at Wang Siying's bloody close-up, a little anxious!
"What are your commands?" Haru took out the phone and was about to dial the number.
"I want her to take the people of the Black Dragon Society to Ningyuan City as soon as possible and save Wang Siying!" Dunnan said to Chun.
"Sister Nan, I think, forget it!" Chun stopped dialing his hand, "The player's non-participation in this national war is approved by the Players Association, I think, forget it!" ”
"What's it! It's not you who hurts your feelings! ”
"Sister Nan, I know that the little white face will drop 7 levels if he dies, so what's the big deal! None of us have ever dropped a grade! Haru hesitated with his phone in his hand!
"What a drop! He's, but he feels 100 percent! Look at him, he is trembling with pain! Dunnan said, pointing to the big screen video.
"This..." Chun knows that Deng Nan really loves Wang Siying, and he loves so much that he can't let Wang Siying suffer a little grievance! Just because Zhou Yan slashed Wang Siying's face, Deng Nan took people to wash Kuancheng with blood, Deng Nan really couldn't see Wang Siying aggrieved! Not only Wang Siying, but the people around Deng Nan, no matter who they are, have been bullied in the game or in reality, and the first one to come forward must be Deng Nan! Since he was a teenager, he dared to stand up for the people around him and take a knife to cut people on the streets of Harbin! The people of Harbin are originally more natural, and they fight at every turn, and gradually, a masked girl became famous, and among the many underworlds, there is also a number one! Cold Moon Flying Frost is not only the name of Dunnam in the game, but also the underworld in Harbin, she is also called like this! In the past ten years, all kinds of forces in Harbin have slowly gathered around Cold Moon Feishuang, of course, it was not Deng Nan who fought it, but her righteous anger, gathering these people who make a living by licking blood at the tip of a knife, and the million people of the Black Dragon Society also have a number one in reality! Today, seeing that Deng Nancai, who is in love with Bensan, Wang Siying, who is in love with Wang Siying, is actually so wronged, can she not do something!
However, Haru still put down the phone, no matter what, she can't go against what the game association has passed! Deng Nan also shouted a few words to dissipate her anger and it was over, she didn't know that the current Jin Ying had been busy with the flood for a few days without rest, online and offline, how could she have the energy to travel long distances to Ningyuan City! It's that Jin Ying brought people here, looking at Wang Siying's situation, he can wait for Jin Ying to save him, and he will die more than 30 times!
"I've got to do something!" Deng Nan couldn't bear to look at Wang Siying anymore.
"We did everything we could! We listen to you, we have blocked the Liaoxi Corridor! This can be regarded as helping Wang Siying! ”
"But, what if Wang Siying is defeated?"
"Sister Nan, in case Wang Siying is defeated, we will enter Shanhaiguan, we have our business!" Spring looks at the usually resourceful Deng Nan, but today he looks like a brain-dead post-90s generation in Korean dramas! I can't help but sigh, don't move your emotions when you move anything!
At the north gate of Ningyuan City, the war is still in full swing!
"The hosts! That's not right! Why have the Zhongzhou soldiers been beating the drums of war to attack! Qian Liu ran to Wang Siying's side and looked at the north of the city with his hand!
"Behind them are Yeluxing's pursuers, they must take Ningyuan City in one go, otherwise, they will all be annihilated here!" Wang Siying turned his head as he spoke, and a carved arrow flew dangerously against his cheek, and a red line immediately appeared on his right cheek, blood spurted out, and a strand of hair slowly floated down with the eagle arrow!
"Lord, master! Be careful! This arrow scared Qian Liu so much that he stammered!
"How many more do we have?" Wang Siying's eyes found that the dragon ball in her left hand had turned from yellow to blue.
"Back to the master, I have pressed all the people to the north gate, and now there are less than 7,000 people! Wounded soldiers account for more than half! Now there are only 3,000 people on the walls! Qian Liu said very sadly, "I came here for this, master, we can't hold the city!" Now our morale has dropped to 50%, and there is a possibility of mutiny and retreat at any time! There have been several signals of persuasion over there! ”
"Our morale is low, and so are they! How many of them do we exterminate? ”
"They only had 60,000 people in the attack, and now there are less than 10,000! They had 40,000 cavalry and didn't move! Qian Liu squinted at the Zhongzhou soldiers in the distance and said, "I think they are waiting!" One is waiting for our city to be captured, and the other is waiting for our morale to drop again, and when they attack in one fell swoop, we will retreat directly! ”
"Makes sense!" Wang Siying nodded in agreement, now there are more than 3,000 people fighting with 10,000 people, if another 40,000 people come up, not to mention the soldiers, even Wang Siying herself, will have to collapse!
"Tell the order, don't shoot bows and arrows, let's all throw logs and stones under the battlements! Hold on as long as you can! Wang Siying knows that the morale drops below 50%, and then the speed of the continuous decline is amazing, if it takes an hour for morale to drop from 100% to 90%, it does not take 10 minutes to go from 50% to 40%! After dropping to 40%, the drop rate is even faster! As morale decreases, so does the chance of mutiny and retreat! Once it breaks through 30%, there is a 90% chance that the soldier will retreat! When it comes to fighting to a soldier, it has to be a special forces or a death squad or something, normal soldiers, basically this principle.
"The hosts! The cavalry unit of the Zhongzhou soldiers seems to have moved! Qian Liuda shouted in shock!
Then, there was the sound of rumbling horses' hooves!
