Night 4 Clever Hope for Wisdom City (4)
So far, the 600 defenders of Wanghui City have lost as many as 200, and they are already at a disadvantage in numbers, and they have lost the advantage of city defense, and their morale has plummeted, and they cannot resist the attack of the Eastern Navy at all. Even if Du Ziteng personally commanded it, it would be difficult to recover the defeat.
He watched the scene for a while, and saw that the leading few dream people rushed left and right among the rebel soldiers, like a pack of hungry wolves entering the flock, and there was no one under his hands at all, and in the blink of an eye, they killed more than a dozen people. The soldiers on the front line were all trembling to avoid this group of wolf-like butchers, and no one was willing to stop their edge, and the defenders could only retreat. Du Ziteng, who knew that the general trend was gone, decided to break the wrist of the strong man and resolutely gave the order to retreat.
While the Eastern Navy has achieved comprehensive superiority, Xiao Qi's side is a little bad. The rebel lieutenant who was in charge of carrying out Du Ziteng's execution order had already been frightened by the amazing combat power of the man in his dream, and at this time he was eager to leave the battlefield quickly, and hurriedly took a few of his cronies to the detention room.
As soon as this group of people approached the barracks where the detention room was located, Xiao Qi had already noticed it, and informed Liu Yuanzhi, who was imprisoned in the house, to prepare for battle.
Don't look at Xiao Qi's ability to give orders to Liu Yuanzhi as an "adult", in fact, at this moment, he is hiding in the shadows that the other party can't see, but his legs and feet are trembling.
"There are five of them!" He kept thinking about how to respond, but no matter how he calculated, after killing someone, he would be out of the "stealth" state. And Liu Yuanzhi ambushed behind the door according to his request, and should be able to kill one person at the first time. So how should the other three deal with it?
"Well, the captain said that Liu Yuanzhi should have the strength of the C rank, although it is definitely not as fierce as Master and Wanyue, it should be about the same strength as several other people, right? If so, I'm responsible for holding one of them down, and he should be able to pick up the other two quickly. Thinking so in his heart, Xiao Qi finally found some security for himself, calmed down and prepared to start.
The rebel lieutenant led four of his men to the door of the detention cell, and immediately had the door open while he stood aside.
Xiao Qi moved behind him step by step, unlike the hard-soled military boots worn by his teammates, he deliberately wore a pair of soft-soled cloth shoes, and walked without sound, which was conducive to maintaining a "stealth" state. At this moment, he delicately touched the back of the rebel captain, and waited for Liu Yuanzhi to give him a look behind his back at the same time as he made a move in the door.
Under his nervous gaze, the door of the detention room was opened, and because he didn't know that Liu Yuanzhi had a weapon in his hand at this moment, a rebel soldier pushed the door in with a big grin. Immediately after that, a scream was heard, and the soldier staggered out of the door, received a sword in the chest, lay on the ground and shivered a few times before losing his voice, apparently dead at the hands of Liu Yuanzhi.
Seeing that Liu Yuanzhi had succeeded, Xiao Qi immediately stretched out his right hand and prepared to bypass the neck of the rebel lieutenant to open an opening for him. Who would have thought that the lieutenant would take a sharp step back because of the sudden change, and not only was he lucky to dodge Xiao Qi's throat-cutting blow, but his back also happened to hit him.
At this moment, Xiao Qi not only failed to succeed, but was also knocked out of the "sneaking" state, and was immediately exposed to everyone. It's also strange that Xiao Qi is from Zhang Wei, who likes to attack the enemy's neck too much, otherwise he would have succeeded in stabbing the opponent's vest casually, and he would not have been so passive now.
His missed blow not only left the other party with four people, but what was even worse was that the rebel captain with C-rank combat effectiveness was still alive, so that Liu Yuanzhi's rank advantage was gone, and the rebels had an overwhelming advantage.
Fortunately, the rebel lieutenant was not a master, he was startled at first, jumped forward, and then turned to see the thief who was about to surrender behind him, his eyes rolled and shouted to his men, "You deal with this assassin!" Liu Yuanzhi: I'll clean it up myself! ”
His decision can be regarded as inadvertently letting Xiao Qi go, otherwise as long as he takes action in person, no matter how many Xiao Qi will not be able to resist. If it was a master like Zhang Wei who was sneak attacked, he might just turn around and fight back, and Xiao Qi would really have to die on the spot.
But even so, Xiao Qi was just as uncomfortable, and he had to face the attacks of three people at the same time. And the rebel captain dragged Liu Yuanzhi, the strength of the two is comparable, I am afraid it is difficult to distinguish the winner from the loser, let alone solve the battle as soon as possible to help Xiao Qi.
It's not that Xiao Qi hasn't faced so many enemies, but it's usually in the formation of the Donghai team, under the protection and observation of his teammates. Now it is the first time he has taken charge alone, and he is really a little overwhelmed. In particular, he still uses a short dagger, which is even more difficult to compete with three rebel soldiers armed with long swords and simple knives.
What's worse is that he hasn't learned the "body method" skill yet, so he can only dodge with his strength with Zhang Wei's intensive training, and he was soon stabbed several times.
Maybe it was because he was young and frivolous, or maybe he was influenced by his master Zhang Wei, the injured Xiao Qi lost his temper, like a trapped beast, he opened his teeth and danced his claws, and was attacked by three weapons at the same time, and stabbed a rebel soldier to death in front of him.
The remaining two rebel soldiers were also taken aback by his crazy actions, and they all stepped back, not taking advantage of Xiao Qi's defenselessness to deal him another fatal blow.
At this time, Xiao Qi realized that his abdomen had been cut for more than ten centimeters, which was not only extremely painful, but also basically lost his combat effectiveness. As long as the waist and abdomen are slightly forced, there will be a feeling of tearing in the abdomen, which makes him hunch his waist and dare not make other movements. However, because his crazy eyes were so terrifying, the two rebel soldiers did not dare to take a step forward, and held him from a distance.
The rebel captain and Liu Yuanzhi fought hard, took the time to take a look here, and found that his two subordinates were shocked by a guy who had lost half his life, and couldn't help but roar angrily, "Kill him, otherwise the military law will deal with it!" ”
The two rebel soldiers looked at each other hesitantly, and then slowly approached Xiao Qi together reluctantly. Xiao Qi knew that he didn't have any combat power at all, as long as he used a little force, maybe the intestines in his stomach should flow out, so he had to endure the pain and retreat step by step under the pressure of the other party.
In a combat state, he can't launch "stealth", although this skill is very special, but after all, it is only a skill, not an illusory magic, and it is impossible to disappear without two people staring at each other. Soon, Xiao Qi was forced into a corner by the two, and there was no way out.
The two rebel soldiers gritted their teeth, and then raised the weapons in their hands and prepared to slash at Xiao Qi.
"If you don't want to die, at least you can fight one!" Xiao Qi thought so, and at the same time revealed this resolute mentality from his eyes.
The rebel soldier couldn't help but shudder as he looked at him, feeling his determination to pull someone on his back even if he swore to die. In this way, the two of them cowered and did not dare to strike first, for fear that Xiao Qi would be jealous and become his target.
"Hurry up! Kill him to help me! The rebel captain over there urged impatiently again.
"Let's get on it!" The two soldiers exchanged a moment, ready to strike at the same time.
At that moment, a large number of noisy footsteps could be heard on the road next to the detention cell, mixed with the sound of frightened shouts. The two opponents of Xiao Qi took the opportunity to delay a little more, and finally figured out the situation outside - the rebels were defeated.
The two glanced at each other, and the same decision was seen in each other's eyes, "Run!" Regardless of the urging of the rebel captain, and no longer had to face the dying Xiao Qi, the two rushed out of the camp and blended into the defeated rebel army.
Xiao Qi watched the two disappear before slowly sliding against the wall and falling to the ground, falling into a coma.
The rebel captain also heard the voices outside, but because he was equal in strength to Liu Yuanzhi, he didn't dare to be distracted to judge what was going on outside.
Until Liu Yuanzhi opened his mouth and asked, "Du Ziteng ran away, aren't you still leaving?" ”
The rebel captain was shocked when he heard this, and secretly glanced out of the corner of his eye, and found that there was no one left of his subordinates, so he immediately believed Liu Yuanzhi's words, and quickly played a knife to force the opponent back, and then fled in the wilderness.
Liu Yuanzhi was also worried about Xiao Qi's safety, so he didn't chase after this person, and hurriedly carried a long sword to the courtyard to check Xiao Qi's situation. After making sure that Xiao Qi still had a breath of air, he believed that Lord Zisha, the divine doctor of the East China Sea, should be able to be cured, so he was a little relieved, and stood next to Xiao Qi, waiting for the person in his dream to come to the rescue.
At the same time that Xiao Qi fell into a coma, the Eastern Navy had already pursued the enemy army to the south gate of Wanghui City. At this time, the rebels lost more than 100 people, and Du Ziteng could only escape into the endless night with a third of the defeated soldiers.
The so-called poor Kou Mo Chase, not to mention that the essence of the rebels in Weixian County is that they are thieves, if they are captured by the officials and soldiers of the Dongzhou Imperial Court, they will be punished with capital punishment according to the law. That is to say, the Eastern Navy controlled by the man in the dream will open up to them, and the habitual surname will shout 'disarm or kill' after gaining the advantage of deciding the surname, so the resistance encountered is smaller. In other words, the Lizhou army led by Li Wei fought with the rebels, and basically even if they fought to the last soldier, they would insist on stubbornly resisting. This is also what Liu Yuanzhi said himself, otherwise people would not have realized this in the dream.
Thinking of this, people in the dream remembered that they hadn't seen Xiao Qi and Liu Yuanzhi, and when they rushed to the detention room, they saw Liu Yuanzhi holding a long sword and vigilantly protecting Xiao Qi who was unconscious.
"What's going on?" Sima Fuqiang didn't expect to see such a scene.
Liu Yuanzhi saw that it was a dream man, so he put down the long sword in his hand with peace of mind and reported the situation to Captain Donghai.
At the same time, Li Sha treated Xiao Qi as soon as possible, while Zhang Wei was a little nervous and watched the treatment.
"It's okay, there was an opening in the abdomen, the large intestine was ruptured, but fortunately he didn't do any more strenuous exercise, so the bleeding wasn't too much. It can only be regarded as a serious injury, not fatal. Seeing that Zhang Wei was so concerned about Xiao Qi's situation, Li Sha turned around and briefly introduced the current situation to him, and then lowered his head and continued to treat.
Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then walked to the side and sat down. Anyway, Xiao Qi is his apprentice, and if something happens to the apprentice, how can the master sit idly by.
After more than half an hour, Zisha finally treated Xiao Qi's injuries almost completely, the broken large intestine had been connected, and the open abdomen had also been closed. Next, wait for the "recovery" effect to slowly repair Xiao Qi's physiological skills, according to her professional judgment, that is, within a day or two, it is already a lot higher than the medical technology in the real world.
"Let's go, let's go to the North Gate Tower." Seeing that Xiao Qi was fine, Huang Zhi came over to greet Zhang Wei.
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, obviously not understanding.
"The battle hasn't been fought yet, have you forgotten that there are still 400 infantry troops in Wanghui City?" Huang Zhi had to remind him.
A moment later, the three stinkers came to the north gate tower, looking at the deep darkness to the northeast, where the valley road was and the tail south warehouse was also in that direction. In another two or three hours, the 400 infantry troops that they found themselves in would return from that direction, and only by defeating this force could the Eastern Navy truly win the battle of Wanghui City, otherwise the situation might be reversed.
After the battle just now, the Eastern Navy lost about forty or fifty people, but only single digits were killed, and the rest were all minor and serious injuries of varying degrees. As long as Li Sha slowly treats them within the limits of his physical strength, he will be able to recover his combat effectiveness during the few days of the fourth night of the East China Sea team.
However, judging from the current situation, the Eastern Navy is somewhat under-armed, which is also what the three stinkers are worried about.
If it is a mobile force, there are still more than 400 people in the Eastern Navy, plus seven people in the dream of the East China Sea team who can participate in the battle, it is enough to form a decisive victory for the 400 infantry troops who want Huicheng to come back.
But in fact, the Eastern Navy has now taken over Wanghui City, not only to assign manpower to guard dozens of rebel soldiers, but also to take over the defense of the south gate and all the city walls. To cope with these alone, the Eastern Navy would have to have about 150 men who would not be able to engage in the later battle, otherwise it would not be able to cope with the unexpected situation.
If he carelessly abandons the defense of the south gate and the three city walls, once he is beaten back by Du Ziteng in the battle with the 400 infantry army, then the Eastern Navy will be caught in the urn. Although under the leadership of the East China Sea team, the East China Sea should still be able to break through smoothly, but the loss of a large number of soldiers is definitely inevitable, and that is not the result hoped for by the three stinkers.
These 500 people of Chen Chuang's department have experienced the Battle of Weidongguan, the Battle of Weinancang, and the three consecutive battles of Wanghui City today, it can be said that as long as they survive, they will grow into qualified veterans, and even a group of low-level officers will emerge. Every time such an elite force is reduced, it is a loss for the Eastern Navy, and it will make the three stinkers feel distressed.
Therefore, this battle must be paid special attention to, and even more careful than the previous two battles, after all, the battle of Gudao is an ambush, and failure is just to let the horse army in Wanghui City escape, and it will not cause any losses to the Eastern Navy. And the siege battle is based on the dream of the East China Sea team as the attacking force, even if they fail, the East China Sea outside the city can retreat in time, but the people in the dream have to work harder.
In the final analysis, this last battle is the most critical closing operation of tonight, the success or failure of the battle of Wanghui City, and the future of Chen Chuang's department of the Eastern Navy, all fall on this seemingly easy battle, so Huang Zhi and Sima Fuqiang hurriedly pulled Zhang Wei, who was worried about the physical condition of his apprentice, up to the North Gate Tower to discuss the battle plan.
Although Zhang Wei was worried about his apprentice, he was not the kind of person who was his mother-in-law, and at this moment he was no longer worried about Xiao Qi, and immediately devoted himself to the deployment of the next battle.
"In fact, this battle is also very simple, you can hold on, you can attack, you can even close the door and fight the dog, it depends on how we choose." When it comes to tactics, Zhang Wei is the first to go.
"Oh, let's talk about it one by one, let's talk to the two of us and see which way can defeat each other with the least loss." Sima Fuqiang has absolute confidence in winning, and what he pursues is nothing more than a little less loss for the Eastern Navy.
"Needless to say, with the advantage of city defense, our losses can definitely be controlled to a minimum. However, it is too passive to hold on, there is a shortage of food in Wanghui City, and this is not our foundation, so it is not suitable for a protracted war. Personally, I'm more opposed to sticking to it. Zhang Wei first rejected his first plan.
Huang Zhi also nodded when he heard this, now is a good time for the Eastern Navy to train troops, if it is trapped in Wanghui City and a protracted battle with a mere 400-step army, it is not cost-effective.
Zhang Wei then said the second plan, "If you want to attack, my suggestion is that Chen Chuang take the Eastern Navy infantry to defend the city, and we will take fifty cavalry to ambush outside the city. When the other party came back to help, they were caught off guard by the inside and outside! ”
"Great idea! With the 400 foot soldiers of the cavalry mobile team, the sneak attack was led by us, and the losses were small and time-saving. I support this plan! Sima Fuqiang hardly wanted to hear the third plan anymore.
"Let's listen to the plan to close the door and beat the dog." Huang Zhi is still waiting for Zhang Wei's last set of plans more rationally.
"The risk of shutting down the door and hitting the dog is greater, but the same benefit will be the greatest and the efficiency will be higher." Zhang Wei is obviously also inclined to this third plan, he is a risky guy, "We can assume that these 400 infantry troops don't know that Wanghui City has fallen into the hands of our Eastern Navy, then we will simply put them into the city, directly block the city gate and shoot them with random arrows." ”
"Well, if this plan is successful, it will definitely be able to capture another batch of prisoners, which will be of great benefit to expanding the strength of the Eastern Navy!" Huang Zhi is also inclined to the third plan.
"But don't you think that in this way, if the rebels in our Eastern Navy surrender the proportion of troops will be a little too high?" Sima Fuqiang voiced his concerns.
"Hehe, isn't there me!" Huang Zhi grinned, others would be afraid of this situation, but with his "social" skills, he could completely do a good job of ideological work among the rebel soldiers who surrendered, so that they could serve the Eastern Navy obediently.
Sima Fuqiang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "With your magic skills, our East China Sea Team and East China Navy will definitely become the strongest force in Dongzhou!" Then it's time to close the door and beat the dog, so let's start preparing! ”
