Chapter 161: Retreat Again

In the White City!

It's been three weeks since the retreat to the second wall.

When Lu Yu commanded his men to retreat to the second city wall, the next morning, the enemy also began to attack the city as usual!

It was only when the soldiers charged under the walls that they realized something was wrong.

When several of the forward soldiers rushed to the top of the wall, the soldiers realized that the enemy had retreated to the second wall.

As the soldiers found out about the situation, they quickly reported the fact to their commanders.

When Benson heard his men tell him about the enemy's situation, Benson's first reaction was that the other party had a conspiracy.

Thinking of this, Benson ordered his men to seize the city walls and open the city gates to prevent otherwise. While calling his subordinates, they studied the map of Baicheng together.

And as Benson began to study, he studied for most of the day.

When the sun rose directly above all the soldiers, Benson was dismayed to find that he had found nothing.

Although Benson was frustrated that he could not detect the enemy's plot, Benson made a decision.

Following Benson's orders, a group of soldiers entered the city.

As the soldiers entered the city, Benson waited in his tent for news to arrive.

And as these soldiers entered the city, they also began to check carefully, to know what the enemy did must have his meaning.

So as soon as these soldiers searched, they searched all afternoon.

When the soldiers had searched the city, they all had the urge to vomit blood.

The reason for this is that these soldiers were already thinking of death when they searched the city.

But when they do things with the heart of death, and find that the psychological preparation they have made is completely unnecessary, their mood can also be imagined.

And as the soldiers finished exploring, they also reported back to the situation in the city of Benson.

And when Benson heard the soldiers' reports, Benson's first reaction was that his men did not find out clearly.

So Benson directly and rudely asked his subordinates to start the search again, and this time Benson was afraid that this group of soldiers would not check carefully enough, so he sent two more groups of soldiers to search together.

But just as Benson sent the soldiers to search the city, he realized that it was getting late.

Eventually, Benson was cautious and prevented the soldiers from going to the city to search at night.

Afterwards, except for a small number of soldiers left by Benson to guard the city walls and gates, the rest of the soldiers were hurried back to the camp by Benson.

Because Benson thinks that since the enemy is abnormal, then he must be careful to face it.

And just as Benson gathered his army and was on guard, the soldiers of the Archduke of Wood, who had retreated to the second wall, also got a rare day.

As the sun rises again.

Not long after the sun rose, Benson sent his men.

When his subordinates sent back the message of safety again.

Benson found himself dumbfounded.

I really can't figure out what the enemy is thinking, although my feeling has been telling me that the enemy has a conspiracy, but the facts tell me that there is no such thing at all.

The thought of the gap between his feelings and reality gave Benson a headache.

Although Benson has a headache about the gap between his subconscious feelings and reality, the siege of the White City still needs to continue!

After wasting a day and a half, Benson once again commanded his soldiers to attack.

Although it seems that the other party has no conspiracy now, he still needs to be careful.

With this in mind, Benson's command began to be cautious.

As the siege began, the soldiers of the Grand Duke of Wood also had a rare day and a half of rest before starting the battle again.

As the battle between the two sides continued, more and more soldiers died on both sides.

When time begins to keep ticking.

A month and a half after the start of the siege!

Lu Yu was still fighting on the city wall as usual.

For the defense of the second city wall, after this period of fighting, Lu Yu also found that although it was much easier than the first city wall, it was more dangerous than the first city wall.

The reason why the second wall is much easier to defend than the first wall is to defend.

The reason for this is that the first wall is outside the flat ground, so all kinds of siege equipment can easily get close to the city wall.

However, there is a ramp outside the second wall, so it is much more difficult for various siege engines to get close to the wall.

And the reason why the defense of the second wall evades the defense of the first wall is more threatening.

The reason is because at the time of the first city wall, due to Lu Yu's carelessness, the opponent's ladder had a chance to take advantage of. Therefore, the number of enemy troops who attacked the walls of the city was not very large.

Although the city wall has become a battlefield of fighting due to the enemy's attack on the wall, it has also prevented another attack, arrow strike!

The second city wall, although it is difficult for the enemy's siege equipment to get close to the city wall, the enemy's arrow attacks are even more unscrupulous.

If on the first wall, the enemy may still be worried about the bow and arrow shooting at their own people, then when it comes to the second wall, the enemy does not even have this worry.

Whenever the siege began, a rain of arrows rained down on the walls like a storm.

The soldiers on the city wall will die tragically on the city wall if they are not careful.

Therefore, the defense of the second wall is far more dangerous than the first wall.

I thought of the tragic situation when I defended the second wall on the first day.

Lu Yu shook his head and smiled bitterly, because he had been in a state of fighting on the city wall before.

Therefore, many of the soldiers under the command of Archduke Wood did not recover from the previous battle on the city wall.

Even before the battle, Lu Yu and his commanders repeatedly ordered that many of these soldiers were careless.

When the rain of arrows came one after another, the soldiers who did not come back to their senses were instantly nailed to the city wall.

And seeing that there were constantly comrades dying under the arrows on the side, the soldiers on the city wall also had chaos.

But fortunately, at the same time as the soldiers were in chaos, Lu Yu also discovered that something was wrong on the city wall.

Under Lu Yu's timely order, the soldiers on the city wall also regained stability.

Subsequently, the soldiers also began to counterattack under Lu Yu's orders.

And as the soldiers began to fight back, the defensive measures that Lu Yu had arranged before were also useful.

As the soldiers continued to attack, the enemy soldiers also suffered a lot of casualties.

After seeing the enemy's casualties, the anxiety on Lu Yu's previous face also subsided a lot.

Because Lu Yu had already discovered that not only his own soldiers were careless, but also the enemy's soldiers.

Obviously, after many days of fighting on the city walls, they had forgotten how terrible the siege was.

When they kept hitting them in the head with rolling stones and wood, they knew they were close to death.

When pots and pots of hot oil were sprinkled on them, they knew what it meant to be better to live than to die.

As the soldiers on both sides became familiar with siege warfare, the battle of the first one also ended.

Seeing the enemy soldiers retreating like a tide, the soldiers on the city walls also breathed a sigh of relief.

When Lu Yu saw that the battle was over, Lu Yu also ordered his subordinates to let the soldiers retreat from the city wall, and at the same time let them return to the camp to remember their mistakes today.

After watching many soldiers walk down the city wall, Lu Yu also returned to the newly established front-line command post and buried his head in the plan again.

Time went on and on.

When today's enemy soldiers retreated like a tidal wave again.

Lu Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

After seeing the obviously sparse soldiers around him, Lu Yu sighed deeply.

You know, the second wall is obviously much smaller than the first wall, so when the soldiers retreat to the second wall, the remaining soldiers can completely fill the second wall.

But after this period of fighting, the soldiers who could still stand on the city wall have become much more sparse standing on the city wall now.

If you want to use data to show the number of soldiers now.

Then the soldiers of the Grand Duke of Wood still have 300,000 soldiers to fight.

Looking at the number of 300,000 soldiers, Lu Yu realized that he had let nearly 400,000 people die.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu smiled bitterly.

While smiling bitterly, Lu Yu was still ridiculing himself for managing the army well, you must know that in the other world, the army that has not collapsed has lost half of it is very small.

Although the reason why the legion under Lu Yu's command did not collapse was because of Lu Yu's public opinion offensive, these are not important, are they!

And when Lu Yu took out his own calculation of the number of enemy soldiers, Lu Yu's mood calmed down a little.

When he saw the enemy's 500,000 death figures, Lu Yu found that the death of his men was not in vain.

While Lu Yu carefully looked at the casualties of the two sides.

Roger and several commanders also walked into the room.

When they saw Lu Yu looking at the documents, they all stood quietly and waited for Lu Yu to question them.

When Lu Yu came back to his senses from the documents in his hand, Lu Yu also saw Roger and the others.

After seeing the arrival of Roger and the others, Lu Yu also asked for the information he wanted to know.

After hearing all the stories of Roger and the others, Lu Yu thought for a moment and said to them what they wanted to hear the most during this time!

"Gather the soldiers! Retreat to the third wall! ”

Hearing Lu Yu's order, Roger and the others were stunned for a moment, and then became excited.

You must know that when they saw that there were significantly fewer soldiers on the second city wall, they proposed to Lu Yu to retreat to the third city wall.

But in the end, Lu Yu still vetoed their proposal with an unripe time.

In this way, as time went on, there were fewer and fewer soldiers on the city walls.

Looking at the fewer and fewer soldiers, Roger and the others were even more anxious.

Although they asked Lu Yu to retreat every day, they were rejected by Lu Yu every day because the time was not ripe.

It wasn't until today that Roger and the others were completely relieved when they heard Lu Yu's order.

Because they knew that as everyone began to retreat to the third wall, then this battle was almost over.

Thinking of Lu Yu's back hand, everyone showed a weird smile!
