Chapter 82: The war breaks out

Xi Zheng rushed to Yicheng, which was heavily besieged by the Zerg army, with You Long and his selected subordinates. Yicheng can be said to be the first line of defense at the forefront of the iron city, but it has always been the largest gateway into the snowy region, Yicheng is surrounded by mountains, easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, the Insect Domain army has occupied all the mountains on the back side of Yicheng, and Yicheng has become a lonely city.

In the first two hundred miles before arriving in Yicheng, Xi Zheng and You Longzheng encountered a group of Snowy Ice Palace troops who broke through from Yicheng to ask for help, and the general led by them turned out to be a young general. He is none other than Ren Meng, a rookie in the Ice Palace, Ren Meng is the youngest son of King Biye, with infinite strength, wit and agility, and is a rare talent. Before the war, he had been serving as the deputy city lord of Yicheng, assisting the city lord of Yicheng to govern Yicheng by Lonely Xin. The strength has also reached the first level of the Seven Souls Heavenly Spirit Venerable.

"The last general, Ren Meng, see His Royal Highness the Regent, General You Long. As soon as Ren Meng saw Xizheng and the others, he rushed over quickly and said eagerly.

"In front of me, there is not much etiquette. Nozomi greeted the star.

"How's the battle going ahead?" General Yulong hurriedly asked.

"We originally retreated from the city bordering the insect domain as planned, and fought and retreated. A large number of materials and civilians evacuated from the front city have been stranded in Yicheng, and the evacuation speed has been delayed. And the Zerg army is already good at speed, no, we just evacuated the first batch of personnel and materials, and we were surrounded by the Zerg army, and the other party cut off Yicheng's communications, water sources, and food, making Yicheng isolated. We held on for more than ten days. In the end, it was decided that I would lead the assault team to break out and seek support. Unexpectedly, the enemy's outer enemy encirclement was also extremely strong, and there were not many of the 5,000 people I brought out, and my generals sent me out desperately. Ren Meng said.

"How's the enemy's strength?" asked Kisho.

"The Insect Domain has sent a total of three armies, the specific number is unknown, and the commander should be the Insect Domain Heavenly Demon Insect Zerg Patriarch Thorn Li. ”

"That half-dead old man?" Xizheng had seen him, he was the youngest son of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Insect Emperor, who had been sealed by his father, but the sealing energy was exhausted in advance. He broke the seal more than 9,000 years ago. It has been nearly 10,000 years now, the strength has gone downhill, and life has dried up and shrunk. But despite this, they are still Emperor Realm strength after all. No one dares to underestimate it. I didn't expect Xizheng to face him in the first battle.

"Yes. That's him. Ren Meng nodded and said.

"Historically. The Heavenly Demon Zerg and the God-Killing Zerg are all together, and I don't know which Zerg class in Yicheng is. General You Long asked, because although Thorn Li was the son of the Heavenly Demon Insect Emperor. But he has the blood of the god-killing insect clan, because his mother is the royal family of the god-killing insect clan, so after the resurrection of Thorn Li, he also served as the only patriarch of the two zergs at the same time.

"The enemy of Yicheng is the Insect Domain West Route Army, which should have a total of 1.1 million troops, divided into five large battalions, namely the main battalion and the four large battalions in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Among them, there are four large battalions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each with 200,000 troops, and the main battalion has 300,000 troops, and the commander is Thorn Qi. Ren Meng replied.

"Thorn Qi?" Xi Zheng heard Yan Lin say before leaving, he was the leader of the God-Killing Zerg, and before the Heavenly Demon Insect Prince broke the seal, he was the one who presided over the affairs of the God-Killing Zerg, and this person's strength should be at the beginning of the Emperor Realm.

"Yes, Thorn Kai, this man is insidious and cunning, and it is an extreme headache. Ren Meng said.

"Well, it's a blessing. You Long said to Ren Meng soothingly.

"The young general is not afraid of hardship, but my father, General Kangqiao and my mentor Lonely Xin are still trapped in Yicheng and hundreds of thousands of people in Yicheng, please help the general. Ren begged on his knees.

"General Ren first, please get up, we came out in a hurry this time, only with 50,000 elites, and according to what you said, the other party actually has an army of 1.1 million. The difference is too great. You Long said analytically.

"Well, the odds are not good. Xi Zheng also said with a frown.

"Actually, there is still a chance. At this time, an old man who was bound in the team next to Ren Meng had a bright eye, but said flatly.

"He's?" asked Nozomi.

"He was an enemy prisoner that we happened to capture when we broke out, and judging by his attire, he was not an enemy clansman, but he should be an enemy architect. Ren Meng replied.

"Tell me what chance you have?" said to him.

"Yicheng is surrounded by mountains on three sides and water in front, which can be said to be a strategic place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has both offense and defense. The city is built according to the danger, and it is surrounded by danger, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is very dangerous. The current situation seems to be in an absolute advantage in terms of strength, but Yicheng is prominent in the defense of the war and surprise, and in the offensive route of the Zerg, it is an excellent strategic location, making the Insect Domain like a fish in the throat. In order to conquer the strategic location of Yicheng, the other party made careful preparations. On the north bank of Yicheng, across the river, he chose a high ground with a wide field of vision and overlooking the whole city to build an earthen fort, and led the shogunate of the god-killing insect army to station in this fort in order to personally command the siege battle. It can be said that Yicheng is going all out to attack it, and it also shows its will to win. The main value of Yicheng's military strategy is that it can directly threaten the military center north of the Snowy Iron City; It can also expand the depth of their defenses. The offensive can use Yicheng as a springboard to continue and develop its military power in the snowy region; The Code can rely on Yicheng to consolidate and defend its vested interests. The man said slowly.

"I don't think my husband is a builder, but a military advisor. Nozomi teased politely.

"Actually, the opponent's siege tactics are very simple. First, besiege the city and send reinforcements. He relied on the abundance of troops, that is, he surrounded the enemy defending the city with a large number of troops, attacked the rescue of other cities, and even annihilated the reinforcements in one fell swoop with the main force. Second, besiege the enemy. That is, with absolute superiority in forces, Yicheng should be encircled, and its foreign aid and supplies should be cut off to make it starving, so as to disintegrate the enemy's situation. It has been besieged for a month, cutting off the connection between Yicheng and the outside world, and at the same time cutting off the main water source for the defenders of Yicheng, shaking the confidence of the defenders of the city to resist. Although the practitioners can endure it for a longer time, there are still ordinary people among them. And after a long time, it may be impossible to say. Third, the city is sieged on all sides. This is an approach taken as a last resort. On the one hand, there is a strategy of besieging the city to lure the reinforcements, such as your reinforcements, and on the other hand, there is also the idea of relying on superior forces to take the city in one go. Therefore, soon after the siege of Yicheng, the army was ordered to continuously strengthen the offensive. It first started the earth mountain in the south of the city, and wanted to take advantage of it to enter the city, and then chose the natural danger in the north of the city to raise the earth mountain again, dug ten roads, and chiseled twenty-one in the east to conquer the city. At the same time, they built attack vehicles outside the city, and destroyed them wherever they could. So it was formed around Yicheng: the earth mountain was raised, and it wanted to penetrate the city with a high potential fish; Destroy the city gates with ramming with attacking vehicles; Tunnels were dug to penetrate the walls and go deep into the siege. High, medium and low multi-level combination of three-dimensional siege on all sides. and then borrow fire to help the army attack. At the same time, rumors diverged, tempting the defenders of the city, in an attempt to divide and disintegrate the relationship between the defenders of the city. A combination of hard and soft tactics was used to try to divide and disintegrate the defenders. The old man said carefully.

"Sir, how can you say so clearly. Xizheng wondered.

"Because, I came up with these methods. "The old man is not afraid to hide it.

"How do I feel like Mr. Guigu from our hometown. Xi Zheng couldn't help but think of the talent of Guiguzi, a historical figure drama broadcast by the earth, to have such magical powers.

"Are you? are you a visitor from Earth?" the old man suddenly became excited.

"Yes. Could it be that you are really a disciple of Mr. Guigu?" Xizheng did not hide it, but when he noticed the other party's excited appearance, he asked.

"In the lower Sun Ping. Mr. Guiya is the master. The old man said.

"Master, Sun Ping, who are you?" Xizheng couldn't help asking.

"Sun Bin, the old man has never heard of it. The old man replied.

"Oh, that's weird, it is said that Sun Bin and you should be brothers of the same generation. Senior Sun, please forgive me for the unreasonable sin that I just didn't know. Quickly lift the shackles of your predecessors. Nozomi was listening to him. Jump straight off the warhorse. Helped the old man up and ordered Ren Meng to untie the shackles. In this way, he is an ancestor-level figure of Xizheng.

"The general does not have to blame himself. The old man was also inadvertently captured by the Insect Domain army, and I would like to thank you for saving me from the disgusting Zerg that eats people and does not spit out bones. The old man also said with a smile.

"What is the solution that the gentleman said? Saving people is like fighting fire. Xizheng didn't say much.

"The general has nothing to worry about. One. Bino King's rich combat experience. The years of the Ice Palace are long. True blue. Moreover, His Majesty has gone through countless battles of all sizes, with outstanding achievements and magnificent achievements. Second. Yicheng, as the key to the strategy of the snowy region, is under the painstaking management of the city lord Lonely, and its active preparation for a rainy day. So that the city is not only high and the walls are solid, but also the soldiers are good and the food is sufficient. Coupled with the materials and equipment evacuated from the front line this time, the defense of Yicheng is more sufficient, even if it is besieged, the city is strong, the soldiers have more than enough food, the attackers work by themselves, and the code is self-sufficient. Able to hold on for a long time to compete with the Zerg army without losing the momentum. Moreover, with three experienced generals in the city, King Biye, General Kangqiao, and the Lord of Lonely City, they will definitely be able to resolve the enemy's offensive tactics one by one. Therefore, Yicheng's support for a year and a half is not a problem. Mr. Sun Ping analyzed.

"But......" Ren Meng said eagerly.

"General Ren, don't worry, wait for the old man to speak slowly. Mr. Sun continued.

"Now for Yicheng, there are two threats. One is a master, the other is time. The master refers to the Emperor Realm powerhouse, if an Emperor Realm powerhouse personally attacks the city, it is equivalent to thousands of troops, then Yicheng must not be able to withstand it. The other is time, after a long time, Yicheng can't afford to consume, and in the end it is self-defeating. So, now we need to start with these two aspects first. Mr. Sun Ping said.

"I would like to follow Mr. Advice. You Long also saw the stakes of this old man, and said respectfully.

"The first one, to deal with the master, first of all, we have to lead him by the nose, although Thorn Qi is a beginner master of the Emperor Realm, and he doesn't bother to participate in the general matter of conquering the city. But if it can't be attacked for a long time, it may not cause him to be dissatisfied and do it himself. Sun Ping said.

"In the face of a strong enemy, we only have 50,000 elites, which is indeed not enough. Therefore, we can only concentrate the elite, boldly intersperse, and break through each one, and we can have 50,000 elites, which can rival his million-strong army. As I just said, the enemy in Yicheng is the Insect Domain West Route Army, with a total of 1.1 million troops, divided into five battalions, namely the main battalion and the four battalions in the southeast, northwest and northwest. Among them, there are four large battalions in the southeast, northwest and northwest, each with 200,000 troops, and the main battalion has 300,000 troops. We can't fight with the south battalion and the main battalion together, but we can break through the four big battalions in the east, west and north one by one. Sun Ping analyzed carefully.

"First of all, the weakest is the West Battalion, and then the East Battalion, and the North Battalion can be said to be the strongest because it has to guard against your reinforcements in the snowy region. So we have to take the western camp first. Sun Ping said.

"Even if the strength of the Western Battalion is the weakest, there are 200,000, which is four times that of us. Our odds are still slim. Yu Long said.

"If the 200,000 weak soldiers and the 50,000 elites in your snowy region can't solve it, then do you still need to fight this war, you just surrender. Mr. Sun Ping retorted.

"Of course, we are confident that we can defeat the enemy, but the four large battalions of the enemy's southeast, south, and northwest are holding each other back and rescuing, and when we attack the western battalion, reinforcements from other battalions will come to the rescue. Yu Long said.

"This requires your cooperation, General. Mr. Sun said.

"How do you cooperate?" said Yu Long. (To be continued......)
