Chapter 978: Peicheng is in danger
After the third round of the offensive, the coalition soldiers again began the difficult work of recovering the boulder.
But this time, there were cases in which many soldiers were wounded. It turned out that the armor of the first batch of soldiers had basically run out of durability after repeated bombardment. Without armor, the cannon can injure ordinary soldiers.
In order to avoid unnecessary sacrifices, the coalition forces had to withdraw all the wounded soldiers, and then send a second group of soldiers to recover the boulder.
Watching the wounded soldiers being carried away one by one, Xia Yashuang's heart was extremely entangled. Since the start of the war, Peicheng has not lost a single soldier, and more than 10,000 of his own soldiers can no longer fight.
What's even more infuriating is that the coalition forces have worked hard so far, and the catapult has only hit Peicheng more than ten times. This sneak attack battle gradually became a normal offensive and defensive battle, and the general offensive and defensive battle was as short as a few days or as long as several months, just like the battle of the Imperial Palace, the battle of Langfang City, and so on.
In fact, since Jiang Feng knew about the coalition forces in advance, this sneak attack battle has become extremely risky. If the city cannot be captured in a short time, all efforts will be in vain as soon as reinforcements from the forces of the river arrive. This is nothing, the most terrifying thing is that today's feud will lead to Jiang Feng's revenge in the future.
The territory that he is guarding is likely to be full of corpses, which has seriously violated Xia Yashuang's original intention.
In order not to disturb the morale of the army, Xia Yashuang quietly went to find Sima Yi, and deliberately did not let the leaders of other forces know.
Sima Yi was sitting in a tent for divination, his eyes kept closed.
Xia Yashuang entered the tent lightly and did not make a sound. But Sima Yi was still alert, and he opened his eyes.
"Is there something wrong?" Sima Yi asked.
"I ...... I kind of want to make peace with Jiang Feng. ”
"What? Even you don't trust me? ”
"No, I've always trusted you very much and believed in your abilities, so in front of them, I have always tried my best to defend you. But, in fact, I really don't know if what I did today will make me regret it in the future. ”
"Why is it coming back to this question? I've told you before, if you want to achieve great things, don't be afraid of it, and don't worry about whether you regret it later. ”
"Big deal? But I don't see this so-called big thing. Jiang Feng personally sits in Peicheng, can we really capture Peicheng in a short period of time? Xia Yashuang said with no confidence.
"Don't be fooled by appearances, today is only the first day. Jiang Feng's reinforcements, no matter how fast they are, will arrive at noon tomorrow, and I guarantee that Peicheng will not be able to carry it at that time. ”
"You're still so confident, I don't know what to say, I hope you're right." Xia Yashuang reluctantly left the camp.
On the other side, during the recovery of the boulder by the coalition forces, Ding Cheng reported to Jiang Feng: "The consumption of shells on this side of the North City Gate is too great, and there is not much left now. ”
From the beginning of the war to the present, 50 huge cannons have been fired non-stop, which lasted for nearly 5 hours, and this consumption can be imagined.
"Don't panic, you can send someone to the west city wall, the east city wall, and the south city wall to fetch cannonballs." Jiang Feng replied.
"Is it too late to transfer?"
"It's too late, my abilities have almost recovered, I'll go do something again, you hurry up and adjust the cannonballs."
"Okay, how much is the right tune?"
"All turned over, there is no need for shells over there."
"Understood."
Ding Cheng left the city and arranged for people to adjust the shells.
Jiang Feng also left the city and walked out of the small gate, and the picture in front of him was a large pile of enemy soldiers recovering boulders.
Jiang Feng, who was full of physical strength, walked through countless explosions, and whenever he saw a boulder that was about to be moved, Jiang Feng kicked those soldiers away, causing the boulder to fall back to the ground.
This was not over, Jiang Feng charged his right foot, kicked with all his strength, and kicked the ash ore boulder back into the moat.
These boulders are relatively heavy, so Jiang Feng can't kick far, but it's not difficult to kick back the moat. In this way, Jiang Feng kept harassing and kicking, and dozens of boulders that were about to be removed fell back into the moat.
The Peicheng soldiers on the city wall saw Jiang Feng working alone, and many people wanted to rush out to help. In the huge Peicheng, only the lord fought alone under the city walls, and the soldiers themselves couldn't help it.
But the regimental commanders told the soldiers not to act rashly. If the soldiers go out of the city to fight, they will officially engage the soldiers of the Summer Breaking Alliance. Once there is a confrontation, bloodshed is inevitable, and once the casualties begin, they will continue to expand, and the hatred value will continue to increase.
And the lord fought alone under the city, but he didn't want the soldiers of Peicheng to die in vain. If he could, the lord still wanted the matter to be resolved peacefully. Unless it is absolutely necessary, do not let the soldiers on both sides formally confront.
After listening to the explanations of the regiment commanders, the soldiers were very moved. In such a world, few big people will pay attention to and care about the lives of small soldiers, but I didn't expect the lord to be such a person, and he is really a force that has no regrets in this life.
Jiang Feng cooperated with the occasional cannon fired, successfully delaying the offensive rhythm of the coalition forces. But after half an hour of delay, the physical strength bottomed out. After all, the ash ore boulder is relatively heavy, and it is very physically demanding to kick this thing.
If you have no physical strength, you can only use your ability, and Jiang Feng summoned a flame dinosaur again.
But this time, this flaming dinosaur is an ornament, with only about 100 power, and it consumes very few abilities. But the Coalition didn't know, and their detectors couldn't detect the power of the summons.
Pokong was worried that the flame dinosaur would knock down the catapult again, so he simply used the space to summon the lake.
"Hiss ......"
Then the familiar scene happened again, the steam in the sky, and the five fingers were missing. The coalition soldiers were unable to recover the stones and had to retreat temporarily.
Jiang Feng smiled, it seemed that it could drag on for a long time.
However, the steam didn't last long this time, and within five minutes, the steam in the sky was blown away, and it seemed that the other party had used the wind ability again.
Jiang Feng had no choice but to summon the Flame Dinosaur again.
"Hiss-hiss......" something similar happened, and it was again a sky full of steam.
Soon, within five minutes, the vapor was blown away again. However, this time, the vapor was not completely blown away, and it seemed that there was still a small part that could not be dispersed. Of course, while this vapor doesn't have a huge impact on visibility, this nuance is enough to prove that the opponent's Wind Adept has exhausted its abilities.
Jiang Feng smiled and summoned the flame dinosaur again, but this time the dinosaur was a dragon with a strength of up to 500.
On the side of the coalition army, the air was in a hurry: "Why are there dragons?" Won't Jiang Feng's ability bottom out? ”
Just as Breaking Sky was about to summon space again, Night Dance Snow stopped, "Don't worry, I think we've been fooled." ”
"What do you mean?"
"This dragon must be a decoration, deliberately luring you into using space, deliberately creating steam, deliberately depleting our Wind Adepts."
"Then you didn't say it earlier."
"How do I know? It wasn't until Jiang Feng summoned the fire dinosaur again and again that I realized that there was a problem. ”
"Okay, then let the soldiers just resist it."
Thousands of Coalition soldiers jumped at the fire dinosaur, only to be engulfed in flames.
Soon, the fire dinosaur rushed to one of the catapults and brutally knocked it down.
"Damn, this is a real fire dinosaur, not an ornament." Breaking Sky said excitedly.
"How so? Is Jiang Feng's alien energy really unlimited? "Night Dancing Snow is incredible.
In fact, there were rumors early on that Jiang Feng's alien energy was endless. Of course, many people think that this is impossible, and the so-called rumors are nothing more than to exaggerate Jiang Feng's toughness.
But now, Night Dance Snow can't help but believe it a little. If the rumors are true, then this battle is impossible to win.
Just when Night Dance Snow was desperate, Sima Yi appeared: "Everyone, don't be nervous. ”
"Strategist?"
"Everyone, no one's alien energy is endless, and Jiang Feng is no exception. Back then, when Jiang Feng destroyed Xiao Tian, it was because his anger caused his reason to lose control, which made him borrow the power of the Flame Demon, so it seemed that the strange energy was endless. However, Jiang Feng would not easily borrow the power of the Fire Demon under normal circumstances, and if he was not careful, he would be counterattacked by the Fire Demon. After all, the Flame Demon didn't want to come out of Jiang Feng's body all the time. ”
"And what are these successive flaming dinosaurs?"
"The first two are ornaments, except for the amount of flames that seem to be large, they don't have much power at all. And this fire dinosaur is a real behemoth, very powerful. ”
"So what are we going to do? It has already knocked down two catapults. Breaking Sky said excitedly.
"No way, use the space to summon the lake."
"But there's steam, and our Wind Adepts have run out of abilities."
"There's no way, you just fell for Jiang Feng's trick, that's all you can do, you can't just watch the fire dinosaur act recklessly."
"Ugh."
Breaking the void and helpless, he had to summon the lake again.
After that, there was a familiar scene, the steam in the sky, and the five fingers could not be seen.
This time, no one blew away the vapor, so they could only wait for it to dissipate naturally.
Jiang Feng returned to Peicheng, came to the city again, and sat down to rest.
Liu Ji came to Jiang Feng's side and admired: "It's so powerful, it didn't take a single soldier to drag on for so long, they should be about to give up." ”
"I hope they give up, but I'm afraid they'll die. The same trick, they won't fall for a second time. I must rest now and regain my abilities and stamina. When the shells run out, the dead will begin. ”
An hour later, the steam cleared, and the coalition forces began the siege again. At the same time, all the shells of Quanpeicheng have been transferred to Beicheng and a new interception has begun.
The coalition forces continued to attack, for several hours on end, without stopping. Before you know it, the number of wounded soldiers has reached about 30,000. But Sima Yi thought that everything was worth it, the frequency of shelling in Peicheng was rapidly decreasing, and the supply of shells was no longer available.
Sima Yi simply took the armor of ordinary soldiers and consumed thousands of shells in Peicheng.
"Boom, boom, boom...... more and more boulders hit the city wall, and cracks appeared in the city wall in many parts of Peicheng.
In addition, the water from the moat outside the city walls has been diverted, and many places have been filled. The coalition's battering ram forces officially began their offensive, and thirty battering rams mercilessly slammed into the walls of Peicheng.
