Chapter 737: Mercenary
South of Luoyang City.
Gao Ran stood proudly on the top of the city, the brightly armored and murderous hoplites outside the city made him feel great pressure, in terms of temperament, this army was obviously very different from the rest of the troops, that was the gap between the regular army and the peasant army, and the other enemy troops were like chickens standing in front of the peacock compared to them, and the huge contrast could not be concealed.
It is also the reason why Gao Ran personally came to the south gate.
The soldiers defending the city are all from Maple Leaf City, in the first expedition to Bogu when the Maple Leaf Army suffered heavy losses, these people are just transferred from Yangzhou Xinding, they have participated in the military operations, the only one that can be used is not long ago that a thousand miles of march, there are still some soldiers with blisters on the soles of their feet, they are a group of first brothers on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, the ability of these warriors may not be much better than the four motley armies outside the city, and if it is a field battle on open terrain, it is probably only equal.
Fortunately, there is also the city wall of Luoyang, and the geographical advantage is obvious. Unfortunately, the emergence of a large number of high-grade siege equipment greatly weakened the advantages brought by the top-grade stone city walls.
Don't look at Gao Ran's expression in front of Lu Zhi, even if he knew that the people of Fengxiang had already expected that Luoyang might become the target of the enemy's attack and made corresponding arrangements, the enemy forces outside the city still made the young military general quietly swallow several mouthfuls of saliva. It was a fool's dream to rely on the only 2,000 light infantry in the city to defend the city, and when Lu Zhi walked down the city wall, he also brought 500 people, but in fact, there were only 1,500 soldiers on the city.
"Will ...... General, there are more than 5,000 enemy troops outside the south gate, which are bypassing from the west of the city, and the enemy troops in the south have accounted for half of the enemy's total strength! "A transferred military general of the Maple Leaf Army came to Gao Lan's side, even Gao Ran didn't know much about the overall layout of the Fengxiang Army, and this transferred military general didn't know the need, so his face turned white with fright. The defenders on the southern side of the city were only 500 men, which meant that each defender had to deal with an average of 30 enemies.
"Got it."
"See, the 10,000 heavy infantry are still in place, and the newly transferred 5,000 enemy troops are in front, and those people are used as cannon fodder, it seems that they have no status, interesting!" Gao Lanhun didn't pay attention to the fear of the transferred general, his mouth was slurking, he turned around and patted the general's shoulder and said, "I'm sure before these five thousand enemy troops were crippled. The 10,000 heavy infantry will not shoot, and only one will need to fight ten for the time being, congratulations! ”
The maple leaf turned military general rolled his eyes, tears of grievance swirled in his eyes, and after thinking about it, he pointed to the heavy infantry outside the city and asked, "That...... What if they come up? ”
A smile hung on the corner of Gao Ran's mouth, comforting the transferred military general who had stepped onto the battlefield for the first time, "Are you doubting my judgment?" It doesn't matter, everyone has the right to doubt, and if they come up, they will be driven down. I don't need to teach you how to do it, let me see if the Danyang elite soldiers are really as brave and good at fighting as the legend. ”
Danyang is indeed rich in elite soldiers. However, these maple leaf warriors stationed in Luoyang obviously have nothing to do with the "Danyang elite soldiers", if all the homeless people absorbed by the player territory in Danyang are born elite soldiers, it will inevitably affect the balance of the game too much, and Ah Niu's trapping camp and the expansion of the flying wing battalion will not be so difficult. Just think about the number of white-eared soldiers who are famous all over the world, and you should understand how nonsense this idea is.
Of course, Gao Ran didn't mistakenly think that these warriors were all bullish, he just wanted to alleviate the pre-battle fear of these Maple Leaf soldiers so that they could fight better. The effect is not bad. At the very least, the Maple Leaf General's face was bloody. His chest also straightened, and the fighting spirit returned to him.
Outside the north gate of Luoyang City. Several players gathered together to look at the city and smile, their faces full of lightheartedness.
"Thirty minutes. In thirty minutes at most, Luoyang will inevitably be breached! A lord player smiled happily. With an army of 30,000 well-equipped to deal with 2,000 ordinary infantry, and a large number of siege equipment available, there is really no suspense in this battle, as long as our offensive is fast enough, the cavalry troops of the first city in the world will definitely not be able to come back to the rescue. ”
Other people obviously feel the same way, the sparse Luoyang defenders on the head of the city are simply a joke in their eyes, and another lord player named Feng Brother Huaji nodded and said: "What the prodigal son said is good, I didn't expect Zheng Aniu to still rely on Dongzi's territory and refuse to go, it seems that he is determined to fight to the death in the ancient city of Bo, and the tactics of besieging the city to send reinforcements are useless, we can only break through Luoyang, and then lead the army to Bogu and Dongzi to rendezvous, and wipe out the Fengxiang coalition army in the territory of Sili as much as possible!" ”
"Those 20,000 troops are busy in vain."
The prodigal son sighed, in fact, the four lords each had 10,000 soldiers, and only half of the player troops who appeared outside Luoyang City, and there were 20,000 troops ambushed eighty miles away from Luoyang. The original plan was to besiege Luoyang first without attacking or slowing down, in order to induce Ah Niu to return to the division to rescue and attack halfway, at least defeat the main force of the Fengxiang coalition army before capturing Luoyang, but a certain city lord not only did not come back, but instead picked the subordinate territory of the highland to fight, which made the invincible Dongzi a little unbearable, and urged these players to hurry up with a communication bracelet.
All four lords are from the same alliance of players, an alliance created specifically for this battle, and in the same way that the Bogu League and the Five Lakes Alliance work together, this alliance is also in a friendly alliance with the Bogu League, which allows them to participate in this.
Huitou Prodigal Son and Feng Brother Huaji are both friends of the invincible Dongzi, one of the few true good friends, they are the trusted partners of the invincible Dongzi when he is in danger, and they are also the most important part of Dongzi's limited player network resources. Therefore, when Dongzi is in trouble, they are the ones who are really willing to help as best they can (even the most lonely and selfish people have friends, how much, there is no need to question this; Moreover, the hero's friends may not also be heroes, and the thieves' friends may not all be ruffians. Originally, the nine lords were only calculated and used by Bogu, and these two were Dongzi's friends).
The invincible Dongzi doesn't have too many friends, like Huitou Prodigal Son and Feng Brother Huaji, even fewer are willing to lend a helping hand in times of crisis, not to mention that Bogu is still the first city in the world known as the territory of the strongest player, and everyone knows what the consequences of helping Dongzi fight against Feng Xiang will be. Fortunately, it's not just friendship that touches people's hearts, there's a lot more.
For example, the benefits are enough to make people take risks.
There is a saying that "money can make ghosts push the grind", if the price of the capital is abundant and appropriate, it is also possible to let the mill turn upside down and push the ghost, and it just so happens that the invincible Dongzi is such a capitalist. Bogu used to be a typical example of external expansion among the national lord players, and although he was later persuaded by the black-clothed scribe to turn back, in the process of iron-blooded expansion, Dongzi's territory accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth, including but not limited to funds!
Although Bogu has bled a lot recently, there are still a lot of bullets in the hands of the invincible Dongzi, and it is not difficult to ask at least a few thugs to make a secret move. The other two masked lord players along with Feng Brother Huaji and the others were driven by interests to participate in the war, and they were willing to cover their faces and put away their banners to help Bo Gucheng fight a tough battle, even if all the 10,000 troops they brought out were killed, the rewards they received were enough to make up for the losses. They take huge risks, but they will also get amazing rewards after the deed, as long as they are not known by the Fengxiang people that they are involved, they will make a sure profit!
The invincible Dongzi originally wanted to find more helpers, but Bogu's vault had the ability to pay, and out of factors such as secrecy, strength, and territorial location, only two "mercenaries" with long hair on the courage were finally selected.
Brother Feng Huaji was the temporary commander of the coalition of players outside Luoyang City, and the two mercenaries raised their hands and feet in favor of his proposed immediate attack, and shouted vigorously.
"Wise and martial Brother Feng, wise and martial decision!"
"Enter Luoyang City and avenge Dongzi!"
"Burn it out! Grab the light! Kill them all! ”
Their high fighting spirit and noble qualities for their allies were appreciated, and Brother Feng and the Prodigal Son were ashamed of their lack of passion and murderous appearance, and if the two "Friends of Dongzi" knew what these two guys really thought in their hearts, they might vomit blood and die.
The thugs only hope to end this battle as soon as possible, and every minute they stay outside Luoyang City will have more opportunities to reveal their identities, and it is safer to end work early.
Mercenaries in action.
Almost at the same time, the troops of the four lord players pushed forward quickly from different directions, pushing the Linchong Lu bus and other equipment, without any temptation, without leaving any reserves, almost all the troops rushed straight to the foot of Luoyang City, surrounding a majestic ancient city. Looking down from above, outside the city wall coiled like a giant snake, there are countless ants, and in the deafening shouts of killing, there are also some "ants" running fast on the head of the city!
From the very beginning, the besieging troops launched an all-round general attack!
The only thing that didn't move was the 10,000-strong heavy infantry outside the south gate, but the 20,000-strong army besieging a city with extremely weak garrisons seemed to be no longer needed.
Luoyang's wide and deep moat and steep cliff-like walls can bring great trouble to the attackers, and the quaint and thick city walls have always made the defenders feel at ease, but now, this top city wall that crowns the top of Shenzhou has also brought some trouble to the defenders.
The scale of the Luoyang city wall guarding the former royal capital was too long, and the siege troops could be fully deployed outside the city lightly, which made the defense of the Luoyang defenders more difficult. Due to the lack of troops, the defenders could not build a tight and solid defense line along the long city wall, and the sparse defense line looked like a fallen leaf on a dead branch waiting to be swept by the autumn wind, or a flat boat carrying a heavy load in the stormy waves.
