In the battle of attacking and defending the city, the condescending and strong city wall is the biggest reliance of the defending side, and the besieging side wants to reverse this congenital disadvantage, there are only two options: attacking the city head or breaking the city gate.

In most cases, the choice of the besieging side is to take the top of the city, or to do both at the same time, for the sole reason that the cost of breaking through a strong and heavy gate is too great to brave the rain of arrows from the defenders at the head of the city.

However, everything in the world is relative. The price to be paid for using the city gate as a breakthrough is of course heavy, but once the city gate is breached, the psychological shock of the defenders is far stronger than that of climbing to the top of the city.

For example, in the current Guangling City, although the 10,000 defenders only suffered less than 3,000 casualties in the first two rounds of arrow rain, but at the moment when the city gate was breached, the 1,000 cavalry and 3,000 pikemen who were originally preparing to counterattack behind the city gate were completely demoralized, and they scattered and fled like frightened birds.

Shi Huaichuan took the lead and rushed into Guangling City, and under his leadership, the Swinging Moon Dragoon was like a sharp dagger, reaping life wantonly behind the defenders of Guangling City, which was already a plate of scattered sand. In just one stick of incense, the casualties of the defenders of Guangling City have exceeded 7,000, and the remaining 2,000 people have long since lost their knowledge of where to hide in the chaos.

Taking control of the four gates as fast as he could, the Moon Dragoon began to search the city for the location of the granary, armory, and silver vault. The location of these facilities is not a secret, and it didn't take long for them to be found by the Moon Swinging Dragoon.

Because the mainland has not had a war for too long, and in recent years, the wind and rain have been smooth, and the grains have been abundant, so the granary in Guangling City is full of wheat and rice, even if it is pulled by a pack rhinoceros, I am afraid that thousands of carts will not be able to pull it all.

When Shi Zhiyi was on guard near the granary with the Yaolei Battalion, Le Zhengzhan, the thousand-cavalry lieutenant of the Yaolei Battalion, walked over to him: "Xiaoyi, the city lord asked you to go over." ”

At this time, Shi Zhiyi's identity was no longer a secret in the Swinging Moon Dragoon, and his colleagues had long accepted his identity as a young city lord, so they were not surprised that the city lord had recruited him. It's just that everyone's attitude towards him is still the same as before, treating him as the little brother who needs to be taken care of the most in their team, and he hasn't changed anything because of the exposure of his identity as a young city lord. Perhaps for everyone in the Moon Dragonrider, this is the most harmonious and comfortable way for them to get along with Shi Zhiyi.

"Shi Zhiyi of the Yaolei Battalion was ordered to report for duty!" Shi Zhiyi rode to Shi Huaichuan, who was counting the harvest in front of the granary, and made a military salute with one hand in a fist. Although everyone knows his identity, in this case, Shi Zhiyi is still willing to demand himself by the standard of an ordinary soldier.

Shi Huaichuan turned his head, looked at his son, a soft color appeared in his eyes, and asked, "How was your record just now?"

"Return to the city lord, kill seven, and seriously injure two!" With the comparison of the total number of Swinging Moon Dragoons and the number of defenders, Shi Zhiyi's record can be said to be quite good.

Shi Huaichuan nodded and said, "In this kind of battle, it is much more important to maintain the overall battle formation than you kill more enemies, blindly rushing forward will not only put yourself in danger, but also make your comrades around you lose the protection from the flanks." Before you reach the realm of sainthood, you must observe the discipline of battle and act according to the unified command! If one day your strength reaches my current level, even if you want to hide behind, I will not allow it. ”

After rushing into Guangling City, perhaps he was inspired by his father's blow, or maybe he wanted to show his heroic side of killing the enemy in front of his father, Shi Zhiyi rushed forward extremely fast, broke away from the large army and rushed into the enemy group, although Shi Huaichuan never looked back, but his divine thoughts were always shrouded in his son's side, and he naturally knew everything about his performance just now.

"Yes, City Lord!" Although he was criticized by his father, Shi Zhiyi was not depressed, but a little happy, because he knew that even in the chaos just now, his father had been paying attention to him, and he couldn't help but feel a little warm in his heart.

"Use your ring to put away all this food. Shi Huaichuan pointed to the mountain-like granary behind him and said to Shi Zhiyi.

As Da Xihong guessed, the Swinging Moon Dragoon was indeed fighting to feed the war on the way. The granaries, armories, and silver warehouses in the three cities of Luzhou, Yueyang, and Yongsi that they passed through were all looted by the Moon Dragoon. On the one hand, it can supply itself, and on the other hand, it also hits the Daxi family hard from the economic aspect.

Each captain of the Moon Dragoon has a space ring, which contains his battalion's grain, grass, water and other materials to maintain the logistics of long-distance attacks, which is also the secret of the Moon Riding being able to fight outside for a long time without any supplies.

It's just that after ransacking the warehouses of the three cities, the space rings of the five thousand cavalry captains are currently full, and they can no longer hold any superfluous things, and Shi Zhiyi's space ring obviously does not have this concern, that vast space as high as 10,000 zhang, not to mention these warehouses in front of him, even if all the grain, grass, ordnance and treasures of the entire Daxi family are moved, I am afraid it will not be able to fill one-tenth of the space of that ring.

After moving the granary of Guangling City, Shi Zhiyi did the same, and put all the stocks in the armory and silver vault into his ring. And when they were carrying the treasures in the silver vault, there was also an unexpected gain, Da Xi Wenshao, the city lord of Guangling City, actually hid in the silver treasury and was caught by the Swinging Moon Dragon Rider. Da Xi Wenshao, who was in the middle of his ascension, did not show the courage at all that was consistent with his cultivation realm, but was like a timid miser, which made everyone despise.

After capturing Guangling City, the Swinging Moon Dragoon rested for a daytime, and then set out again at night, and successively ransacked several cities such as Chu County and Changjin in the west of Yuzhou, and wiped out nearly 50,000 second-line troops of the Daxi family before and after, and harvested nearly 30 million taels of gold, grain, grass and ordnance.

The actions of the Moon-Swinging Dragoon shocked the other forces that had been paying attention to the war between the Shi family and the Daxi family, and the Daxi family, who was embarrassed and angry, also accelerated the mobilization speed of the Eight Horsemen of the Dark Snow, and faintly surrounded the Moon-Swinging Dragonrider from four directions, intending to completely exterminate this elite cavalry that had caused them endless shame and pain!
