Chapter 650: How to Attack the City

When Chu Jiangpo came before, he brought 15,000 people with him, except for a small number of people who died under Xia Fan's punch just now, most of them saw the scene of Chu Jiangpo being killed before they had time to participate in the battle. Then he wanted to escape but there was no way to escape, so he was blocked on the breeze path.

"Surrender and don't kill!" Xia Fan said. Then the soldiers behind him shouted.

......As the first person threw down his weapon and surrendered on his knees, more and more soldiers from Baishi City chose to surrender. The die-hards had already fled back to White Rock City along the Breeze Path.

Although they are hard, these people are not fools. After seeing Xia Fan's killing of Chu Jiangpo, they knew very well that their strength was not enough to block Xia Fan and the army behind him in the Qingfeng Path, so they simply retreated back to the city, prepared to defend against the danger, and waited for reinforcements.

Xia Fan's side was receiving the surrender while marching, and the process was quite easy. And this also made the accompanying soldiers worship Xia Fan even more. Because everyone thought that it was Xia Fan's violent blow before, which not only killed the main general of the enemy army, but also broke the military spirit of the soldiers in Baishi City, otherwise how could it be so easy, there must be a fierce battle one after another.

Xia Fan didn't care what his subordinates thought, he found a few surrendered officers to come over, asked briefly, and finally understood the name of the person who was killed by himself, and also understood the situation of the enemy army.

Hearing that Lan Haolin had just mobilized an army of 300,000 to encircle and suppress him, Xia Fan couldn't help but want to laugh. Thinking about the Chu Jiangpo who was killed by himself, even he couldn't help but feel that this guy was a little aggrieved to die. If he hadn't been too confident and had rushed over to fight him to the death, but had stayed in White Rock City, when his 300,000 reinforcements arrived, this battle would definitely have been fought.

Now it's okay, as soon as Chu Jiangpo dies, the current defenders of Baishi City will be regarded as leaderless. As long as he goes over and takes down Baishi City, he can have a good time with the 300,000 reinforcements.

I hope that the spies sent by Lan Haolin to Baishi City to monitor Chu Jiangpo will not report the information about Chu Jiangpo's killing too early, otherwise Lan Haolin will withdraw the army, and there will be no fun. Xia Fan thought in his heart. As for how he would have known that there were spies in White Rock City, there was no need to ask at all, there must be. A high-ranking guy like Lan Haolin can't trust his subordinates, and he will inevitably plant his eyes in any of his own armies, there is no doubt about it. This is the so-called way of control, both use and prevention.

The reason why Shiraishi Castle is named after Shiraishi is because the stone used to build the city is a very unique white stone. This kind of stone is not very precious, but it is quite hard, and it can be seen everywhere in Qingfeng Ridge, so when the city was built, a large number of white stones were used, and when the whole city was built white, it was named again.

It's just that after decades of wind, frost, snow and rain, Baishi City is no longer as white as snow when it was first built, and has been blown by wind and sand for many years, so that it is covered with a layer of dust and looks dirty.

Because White Rock City has been fighting for a long time, the stones in some places are covered with all kinds of traces left by battles, and there are even arrows stuck in some places that I don't know when, which makes White Rock City look scarred but full of murderous atmosphere. Not only that, but there are many places on the White Rock Castle where there is still dried blood remaining on the walls, mottled and eye-catching.

Baishi Castle is located on the west side of Qingfeng Ridge, because Qingfeng Ridge blocks water vapor, so the climate here is dry, drought and little rain, often three to five months without a drop of rain. It is a problem for people to drink water, and no one is willing to use it to clean the blood stains on the city walls.

When Xia Fan and Bu Fenghou led an army of 80,000 to the middle of the Qingfeng Trail, the highest point of the Qingfeng Ridge, they looked down condescendingly and saw such a city.

"I really didn't expect that it was just a mountain apart, and the scene on both sides was so different!" Bu Fenghou walked over, looking at the scenery below and couldn't help but sigh.

Because Qingfeng Ridge blocks water vapor, it is bounded by the highest part of the mountain, and the rainfall on the east and west sides is very different, which also makes although they are also on Qingfeng Ridge, the vegetation on the east and west sides is very different, and the scenery is also very different. On the east side, because of the heavy precipitation, the vegetation is lush and rushed, but on the west side, because of the lack of precipitation, the vegetation is much sparse, and in some places even the stones below cannot be concealed, and the colors are mottled.

Except for Qingfeng Ridge, looking into the distance, it is even more desolate, basically all of it is an earthy yellow, and occasionally there are one or two dots of greenery dotted in it, so that it gives people a desolate feeling.

"It's normal. Xia Fan pointed to Baishi City and said: "Take it as soon as possible, otherwise when the 300,000 reinforcements arrive, if you refuse to defend the city, it will be too difficult to take here." Moreover, whether or not we can quickly take White Rock City is also related to whether all our previous efforts will eventually bear fruit, this will be our first place to settle, and it will also be the first step for us to influence the battle situation and have our own territory......"

"Little prince, please rest assured, the last general understands. Bu Fenghou nodded.

Although White Rock Castle is located at the foot of Qingfeng Mountain, it was not built on the mountain. This was because the original builders had apparently taken into account that if the castle was built next to the Qingfeng Ridge, it would be easy to suffer from a condescending attack from the enemy from the ridge and be terrainically disadvantaged.

Because of this, where the White Rock Castle was built, the foundation was raised by a hundred feet. However, this does not make White Rock look like it was built on a high platform, but more like it was built on an artificially piled hill.

Because White Rock Castle is so high, many of the fortifications around it are different from normal castles. For example, most castles have moats, but White Rock Castle does not have them at all. Of course, this is related to the arid environment and lack of rainfall, and it is also unnecessary.

The terrain of the White Rock Castle itself is very high, and the surrounding of the foundation is as smooth as a mirror, almost to the extent that it is slippery, and it is quite difficult for the enemy to attack such a city, and there is really no need for a moat.

Moreover, an ordinary moat can only be difficult to accommodate ordinary soldiers, if it is a soldier whose strength has reached the foundation level, only a moat twenty or thirty zhang wide is useless at all.

Not only is the White Rock Castle high, but there is only one way to get in and out, which makes it very difficult for the enemy to capture it. And the Qingfeng Trail just passes through its city gate, so that it can easily jam the Qingfeng Trail, so that no matter which direction the enemy comes, as long as they are in the Qingfeng Path, then they are all within the range of the archers on the White Rock City, so even if the defenders of the White Rock City do not attack, they can shoot the enemy with only bows and arrows and suffer heavy casualties.

Xia Fan had noticed these things on Qingfeng Ridge before, and he also knew the difficulties of attacking this White Rock City. When he walked down Qingfeng Ridge with Bu Fenghou and came to the outside of Baishi City more than a thousand zhang away, looking at the towering Baishi City opposite, he couldn't help but feel a little worried about how to take it down.

In fact, if you want to really break through here, the easiest and most direct way is for Xia Fan to jump in directly, with his current strength in the Divine Spirit Realm, as long as he is willing to work hard, no one in White Rock City is his opponent, let alone try to stop him. As long as he opened the gates, all that was left was a fight.

It's not that Xia Fan hasn't thought about this method, but this way can't serve his purpose of honing his soldiers at all, after all, he has made him the commander do everything, what do you want those soldiers under him to eat?

In addition, Xia Fan's running to capture the city alone sounds quite majestic, but it is also quite dangerous.

Don't look at Xia Fan's strength after reaching the Divine Spirit Realm, his strength is already quite strong, and with a little exertion just now, he will kill Chu Jiangpo, who is at the peak of the Divine Realm, and the nine-eyed poisonous scorpion he is riding. But that doesn't mean he's invincible right now. Not to mention, it is unlikely that he wants to use his own strength to break through the protective array of White Rock City.

The monks of the Divine Spirit Realm are indeed very strong, but they are really not to the point where they can do whatever they want, especially when facing an army with a large number of people, strong combat power, and a military formation, it is impossible to crush it as easily as some people guess. On the contrary, when facing such a fierce army, the powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm sometimes had to retreat. Because there are also powerhouses of the Divine Spirit Realm in such an army.

"How are you going to fight?" Xia Fan asked as he looked at Bu Fenghou.

Although Xia Fan is the commander of the entire army, he will not interfere in everything. For example, the attack on Baishi City, since he has already handed it over to Bu Fenghou, he will definitely not point fingers, at most he will just ask and listen to what Bu Fenghou thinks. Of course. The premise of not interfering is that Bu Fenghou's tactics have no fatal flaws, otherwise, Xia Fan would not have watched him destroy the army that had been so hard to look.

"Feint on three sides, attack on the other, and strive to open the city gate as quickly as possible, I have gathered the strong men in the army, and I will personally lead the team to take this White Rock City in one go. "Bu Feng Hou said.

"Which side are you going to attack?" Xia Fan didn't comment casually, but asked again.

"East. Bufeng Hou Yao pointed to Baishi City and said, "The only gate in Baishi City is located on the north side, although it is facing the Qingfeng Path, but if you want to attack from that side, you will definitely have to withstand the most fierce attack. After all, generally speaking, whichever side of the city gate is repaired, it will have to withstand the most attacks, and the defensive force will naturally be more, so I want to abandon the north gate and directly attack the east side of Qingfeng Ridge. ”

While speaking, Bu Fenghou pointed to Baishi City in the distance and said: "When Baishi City was built, in order to be able to jam the Qingfeng Trail, it maximized the purpose of early detection of the enemy and early attack, so even if Baishi City was not built on the mountain, the distance from Qingfeng Ridge was not far, which means that we can still use the terrain advantage of Qingfeng Ridge to attack Baishi City." ”

"What do you want to do?" Xia Fan looked at Bufeng Hou Dao.
