Chapter Seventy-Three: The Siege of the Sea

At this time, there were still a lot of soldiers left in the water village of Xiyu City, and they were directly blocked by the water village that landed from the land. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

What made Li Tang and the others break out in a cold sweat was that these soldiers who stayed in the water village did not carry too many weapons, but all held torches, and a large amount of firewood was piled up in the entire water village.

It is estimated that the task of these soldiers is to wait for Li Tang's army to board the water village, set fire to the water village, and burn Li Tang's army to death on the water village.

It's a pity that when I met Li Tang, this conspiracy fell through. Li Tang has a Qiankun bracelet, which allows him to carry a large number of soldiers and land directly, without having to rely on the water village.

Speaking of which, it was also Xiyu City that died by itself, and before Li Tang's army came to attack, they had destroyed all the docks, leaving only the water village.

After all, the shore is full of tidal flats and sand and gravel, and the big ship is easy to run aground, while the small ship does not carry many people, and it is easy to be eaten by the defenders when using a small boat to land.

Therefore, the defenders of Xiyu City expected that Li Tang's army would inevitably capture the water village and then land from the water village, so they made a plan to prepare to burn Li Tang's army.

Under normal circumstances, such a strategy may be realized, and even if the army is not burned, at least it will be disgraced. However, Li Tang took the lead in landing from land, the purpose was to hope that Xiyu City would intercept it, so that Li Tang could take advantage of the situation to counterattack.

It's a pity that Xiyu City didn't dare to open the city gate and released the army out of the city to counterattack, but instead let Li Tang hit the right one and rushed to the water village from the land, so that his army avoided a catastrophe.

In this way, it seems that they have to thank Xiyu City, if they didn't want to burn Li Tang's army, but directly destroyed the water village. At this moment, Li Tang's army could not land so quickly. Moreover, the ships have not yet had a safe haven. You can only find a leeward recess as an anchorage to anchor!

After Li Tang's army landed from the west, he quickly chose the north and south walls to prepare for the attack. At this time, there were 180,000 defenders in Xiyu City, 30,000 on each of the four walls, and 60,000 in reserve in the center of the city, which means that the defenders on any wall may increase to 90,000 or even more.

However, Li Tang did not adopt the previous strategy this time, but made a feint attack on the north city wall, deliberately hiding banners and siege equipment outside the east gate city wall, and storming the south city wall.

And this time the strategic equipment Jiuli war drums were also used. Speaking of this Jiuli war drum, it has not had the opportunity to use it since it was obtained, and it was basically used to attack the enemy by sneak attack, and there was rarely a head-on decisive battle.

This time, Li Tang is ready to beat the Jiuli war drum and take this Xiyu City in one go, anyway, this is already the last city of pirates, and it is the largest pirate city.

Li Tang didn't mind using some thunderous means to take the largest city head-on, lest the other people who lost the city because of Li Tang's sneak attack be dissatisfied, thinking that Li Tang was just an opportunist.

Li Tang himself is a kind person. I don't want to kill more, but sometimes I do want to deter some people with absolute strength. Let these people realize that Li Tang is powerful, and they can't think of confrontation.

When the war drums sounded on the southern city wall, Li Tang's side was already roaring.

On the other hand, the defenders on the south wall were pale, and even the hands that drew their bows and prepared to shoot arrows began to tremble, and some of the soldiers were even more unbearable, and the soldiers of Linhai City had not yet entered the shooting range, and the arrows in their hands had already come out of their hands, but they flew out more than 10 meters away and fell to the ground.

It seems that the ability of this Jiuli war drum is indeed extraordinary!

When tens of thousands of strong archers began to shoot at the defenders on the city wall, and the defenders had been completely suppressed, the 40,000 soldiers of the Mammoth Legion, led by the vine armor soldiers, carried the siege ladder and began to climb the city wall. And Li Tang took the opportunity to get close to the city wall, and photographed dozens of trapped soldiers and hundreds of crossbow guards on the city wall.

Seeing that it was difficult to resist, the defender of the southern wall immediately sent a signal to the reserve team in the city for help, informing them that it was difficult to resist.

It's a pity, it is estimated that Li Tang made a feint first to deceive the reserves, and then carried out a sneak attack, which was the case several times.

The defender in the center hesitated this time, couldn't believe that Li Tang was attacking in the south, and after thinking about it for a while, he only sent 20,000 people to reinforce the southern city wall.

At the same time, his subordinates were asked to probe whether there was any change in the east, and if there was any change, they would immediately send a reserve team to reinforce them. Sure enough, after the subordinates investigated, they reported that the banner was faintly visible in the mountains and forests in the east, and it was estimated that there were a large number of enemy troops in ambush, and they only waited for their own reserve teams to be sent out before attacking the eastern city wall.

This old gentleman who is in the middle of the town is smart but is mistaken by cleverness! However, when Li Tang was unwilling to sneak attack, he decided to use his absolute strength to deter Xiaoxiao, and the result could only be a tragedy!

When Li Tang's elite troops stood firm on the city wall for a certain distance, a steady stream of soldiers began to climb the city wall from this gap.

Although 20,000 reinforcements came, hoping to drive the vanguard off the walls. It's a pity that the vanguard troops who climbed the city wall this time are all special troops, and with the cooperation, no matter how many defenders there are, they can only retreat one after another.

When Li Tang's team had already occupied three or four hundred meters of the city wall, the old gentleman who was guarding the town in the center reacted and hurriedly mobilized the reserve team and the defenders of other city walls to reinforce him.

Unfortunately, it was too late, the roaring dog mixed into the city, took advantage of the chaos to bite the defenders of the south gate, opened the bolt of the south gate, and the army outside the south gate easily attacked the city.

Li Tang's superior forces entered the city, and nearly 200,000 high-level troops quickly occupied the city walls and gates everywhere, forcing the defenders in the city into the city, and there was no chance to escape from the city.

Of course, under Li Tang's usual combination of punches, the defenders in the city only held out for a day, and they all surrendered.

After all, not to mention the heavy cavalry patrolling the city, just the Jiuli war drums beaten every day can make many defenders tremble and scatter.

Li Tang naturally quickly broke the city stele, and according to the system prompt, he chose to occupy the city, and there was no suspense, Li Tang's prompt to the system of opening up the territory and expanding the territory.

System Prompt: Because you opened up the territory for the Han Dynasty, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty gave you a treasure - the Nine Ghost Rings. Reward reputation 10,000.

As soon as Li Tang heard about this reward, the treasure-Nine Ghost Rings, instead of the treasure that was prompted before, it is estimated that this is a treasure-level treasure, not a treasure-level treasure before!

However, in the past, were the rewards for territorial expansion all strategic equipment? This Nine Ghost Ring sounds like a single piece of equipment! What's going on, Li Tang couldn't wait to take a look at the attributes of this Nine Ghost Ring.

Nine Ghost Rings: Treasures. Legend has it that there are nine ghosts living in the Nine Ghost Rings, torch mouth ghosts, needle mouth ghosts, stinky mouth ghosts, needle hair ghosts, stinky hair ghosts, mouth ghosts, Xi Temple ghosts, Xi abandoned ghosts, and Dashi ghosts, and they are very good at carrying items.

There is a space of 10mx10mx10m in the Nine Ghost Rings, which can hold all things, except living things.

The introduction is simple and straightforward, it is an enhanced version of the storage ring.

In fact, players have storage rings and money bags, of which the space in the storage ring is only 0. 5 cubic meters, and there is no size limit, you just take a 100 meter long stick, as long as the volume does not exceed 0. 5 cubic meters, he can fit it, because they can change shapes, the soul is indestructible, it can't be dropped, it can't be destroyed, it can't be traded, it's bound to the soul of the character, and some characteristics can be called artifacts!

It's not true to say that the storage ring can't be loaded into living things, and ingredients such as seeds are also alive. However, they do not have souls that can be loaded.

This is similar to Li Tang's treasure Nine Ghost Ring, which can hold all things, except for those with souls, and it is naturally almost the same as a storage ring.

The Nine Ghost Ring also has a disadvantage, that is, the Nine Ghost Ring will never be able to hold a 20-meter-long item, because the space of the Nine Ghost Ring is solidified, just like a house, and the size of the house that exceeds it will not fit. The player's storage ring is more like a balloon that can change the status quo at will.

The player's money bag has infinite space, but unfortunately nothing can be put into it except money, not even gold bricks, let alone other objects!

And there is another disadvantage of the Nine Ghost Rings, that is, the Nine Ghost Rings will fall, once they fall, just like a person loses his wallet, all the money cards in it are gone. The player's storage ring doesn't have this to worry about, it's a safe, and the things you put in it are basically impossible to get out.

From this point of view, this Nine Ghost Ring can indeed be regarded as strategic equipment! The space of 1,000 square meters inside is huge, and if it is loaded with rice, it can probably fit about 750 tons of rice, that is, 1.5 million catties of rice. If each soldier eats 3 catties of rice a day and 100 catties of rice a month, then this can fit 1. A month's ration for 50,000 people!

Moreover, it is also extremely convenient to carry materials by carrying the Nine Ghost Rings. Fighting in action, with the Nine Ghost Ring, can indeed relieve some logistical pressure! You must know that if an army is not dragged down by logistics, its combat effectiveness can be greatly improved!

In the Three Kingdoms era, how many wars were defeated miserably due to logistics! In many cases, foreign wars had to send half of the troops to escort and protect the grain and grass, and once the grain and grass were robbed, the morale of the army would inevitably plummet, and even the morale of the army would be weakened, and even examples of bombing the camp abounded.

In short, this Nine Ghost Ring is a good thing, and even the siege ladder can be installed. Although Li Tang has the Qiankun Bracelet, and the space inside is incomparable to the Nine Ghost Ring.

However, with the increase of territory, there are more and more directions that need to be conquered, and Li Tang also hopes to enjoy the blessings of the local lord's old wealth and the addiction of being a gentleman? How can you keep fighting with the troops?

Therefore, an absolute strategic item like the Nine Ghost Rings, the more the merrier. Moreover, it doesn't take effort to take out items from the Nine Ghost Rings, which is stronger than the Qiankun Bracelet!

After Li Tang gained control of Xiyu City, he immediately canceled the status of the generals who were suspended in the city, and then expelled the 500,000 soldiers!

After finishing it, Li Tang began to count the materials and population, completely unaware of how much damage his actions had caused to the United Fleet!
