Chapter 832: Heart Like a Cat's Scratch
Hearing Lin Ze (Lan Ming)'s words, Xu Sheng's body broke out in a cold sweat, and it took a long time to come back to his senses.
"Thank you General Lan for the reminder, otherwise, I will really make a big mistake this time!" Xu Sheng is not a proud person, and after realizing that he had made a mistake, he immediately thanked Lan Ming.
Seeing this, Lin Ze couldn't help but nod in his heart, Xu Sheng was already a general, but he was still able to accept the persuasion of others with an open mind, he was really good, and it was not in vain that Lin Ze handed over the matter of this raid on Blastwind City to Xu Sheng.
"General Xu is polite, this is what I should have done!" Lin Ze said with a humble face.
"It's just that we just let hundreds of heavy crossbowmen block the pace of our army's advance, and watch the remnants of the Wind Thieves' leaders flee like this? General Lan, as long as these remnant Wind Thieves are eliminated, the remaining Wind Thieves army will no longer be a threat!" Xu Sheng said with a hint of helplessness on his face.
In his heart, he still wanted to wipe out the fleeing Wind Bandit leaders as soon as possible, because in this way, he could take Wind City even faster.
This time he raided Blastwind City, but Xu Sheng was fully responsible for it for the first time, of course he wanted to get off to a good start, in this way, his status in Lin Ze's heart would be even higher in the future, so Xu Sheng, who was very calm before, would be so reckless at this time, in the final analysis, it was still too much of a meritorious heart!
In response to Xu Sheng's question, Lin Ze smiled slightly on his face and said, "General Xu, if you want to deal with these heavy crossbowmen, it's actually very simple!"
"Oh, in this way, General Lan has already thought of a way!" Xu Sheng asked with a look of surprise.
"Well, I've already thought of a way!" Lin Ze replied with a smile, and then commanded to a thousand households beside him: "Quickly send people and horses to climb on top of those tall buildings in ambush, and then send a large number of archers and heavy crossbowmen, don't these wind thieves want to use heavy crossbowmen to deal with us, this time we will let them taste the power of the rain of arrows, and the surrounding soldiers can also throw some rolling stones and logs on them, I believe that these things will definitely be nearby, we will directly condescend and kill this group of fools!"
Lin Ze had a confident look on his face, but he didn't deny that the general of the Wind Thief on the opposite side was very good at setting up the formation, but he still ignored one point, that is, there were too many buildings around him that were much taller than them.
With these buildings as attack points, no matter how tightly defended the Wind Thieves on the opposite side were, they were doing useless work!
"Okay, General Lan really deserves to be valued by adults, and the way he came up is good, hahaha....." Xu Sheng, who eliminated the trouble in his heart, laughed.
Lin Ze's method was very simple, and Xu Sheng understood it as soon as he heard it.
Thinking of the bewildered look in his eyes when the enemy on the opposite side suddenly encountered countless arrows coming from their heads, as well as rocks and rolling logs, Xu Sheng's heart blossomed.
"Let you block my way, this time see how you die!" Looking at the tightly formed Wind Thief Army formation not far away, Xu Sheng's eyes were full of schadenfreude.
"What's the matter? Why aren't these people attacking, they are, frightened by our military formation!" Zheng Cai on the side couldn't help but come to Zhao Quan's side and asked.
"I don't know, we're too far away from them to hear what they're saying!" Zhao Quan said with a dejected expression.
It's just that I'm still a little proud in my heart.
After all, a rough military formation set up by himself made the cavalry brigade on the opposite side dare not attack, such a feat was enough for Zhao Quan to be proud of.
"Zhao Quan, how about our retreat?" Zheng Cai asked in a low voice.
The cavalry brigade on the opposite side was now blocked by their military formation, but Zheng Cai clearly knew that this was only temporary, and soon, the enemy on the opposite side would attack again, and at that time, it would be difficult for them to survive.
"This ......" Zhao Quan's heart was also a heartbeat.
Like Zheng Cai, Zhao Quan also knew that the enemy's retreat was only temporary, and it wouldn't be long before the enemy would definitely attack, and at that time, the people on his side would definitely be a dead end, so when he heard Da Zheng Cai's proposal to retreat, Zhao Quan was moved.
"No, if we retreat, the morale of the army will collapse immediately, and when the time comes, if the enemy takes advantage of the momentum to attack, it will be impossible for us to organize a team again, and the enemy over there will also chase after him, so I think we should first repel the enemy's several attacks, let them know that they are powerful and then retreat, so that even if the enemy is in pursuit, he will definitely not dare to approach easily, we are afraid that we will come back and shoot or something. Zhao Quan said after thinking about it carefully.
Of course, he wanted to retreat, but first of all, he had to solve the problem of chasing the soldiers behind him, and if this problem was not solved, even if they retreated, they would not be able to change anything.
"Well, you're still right, let's do it like this, give those guys on the other side a few hard blows first, and then retreat!" Zheng Cai fortunately agreed to Zhao Quan's suggestion, which was more feasible than the extremely rough suggestion he had just made.
At this time, Xu Qiang and the others had already eliminated all the wind thieves on the south city gate, and at this time, he happened to lead two thousand heavy crossbowmen to hurry over, and soon came to Xu Sheng and them. (As mentioned earlier, three thousand heavy crossbowmen were constantly suppressing the wind thieves above the city wall under the city wall, and when Xu Sheng and the others attacked, these heavy crossbowmen were still under the city wall.) )
As soon as he saw Xu Qiang and the heavy crossbowmen behind him, Xu Sheng was overjoyed, and he hurriedly shouted to Xu Qiang: "Second brother, quickly climb the surrounding high-rise buildings, and shoot the enemy soldiers on the street for me from above!"
"Yes, big brother!" Xu Qiang happily accepted the order.
Soon, with a wave of Xu Qiang's right hand, more than 2,000 heavy crossbowmen followed behind him smashed open the door next to the street and rushed towards the highest place.
At this time, victory is the most important thing, so the destruction of some houses is also unavoidable, anyway, the compensation will definitely be doubled afterwards.
Seeing that Xu Qiang had already entered the high-rise buildings around Nanjie with more than 2,000 crossbowmen, he could immediately launch an attack, and Xu Sheng's side also began to prepare.
"Prepare to attack!" With Xu Sheng's order, the originally stationary cavalry brigade began to move forward slowly, and the loud sound of horses' hooves once again sounded on the south street.
"General Xu's move is also very clever, directly using the sound of horses' hooves to cover up the sound of General Xu Qiang's actions, General Xu, high!" Lan Ming said with a look of admiration.
There are a lot of people in Xu Qiang, there are more than 2,000 people, so many people act, even if they are careful, there will definitely be some signs or sounds in the middle, but now that Xu Sheng is like this, he directly leads Zhao Quan's attention to Xu Sheng's side, and Xu Qiang's voice is also covered by the loud sound of horses' hooves above.
In this way, until the heavy crossbow comes, Zhao Quan and the others will also look stupidly, and they will not be able to find Xu Qiang's current movements at all.
"Hehe, it's just some carving insect skills, hehe....." Xu Sheng said with a smile.
Just a small ploy can make the enemy on the opposite side suffer a big loss, Xu Sheng is actually a little proud in his heart.
Lin Ze listened, and didn't say anything, but once again made a note to Xu Sheng in his heart, and he valued Xu Sheng more and more in his heart.
Lin Ze and Xu Sheng were right, at this time, Zhao Quan and Zheng Cai's eyes were all attracted by Xu Sheng's movements, and they didn't see it at all, in the depths of the street, Xu Qiang was acting carefully.
"Hey, this person should be the commander of this cavalry unit, he is actually directly at the front, this is a good opportunity!"
Zhao Quan saw that Xu Sheng had led the cavalry brigade to roll over, especially Xu Sheng, who was the commander, was actually the first, and his heart couldn't help but thump.
You must know that the South Street is indeed a bit spacious for pedestrians, more than thirty meters wide, but for the cavalry, it is actually not wide, and the street can accommodate up to five or six horses in parallel (the horses on the Shenzhou Continent are much larger than the horses on the earth), so the South Street is extremely narrow for the cavalry.
Once Xu Sheng and the others entered the South Street, at that time, Zhao Quan would have hundreds of crossbow arrows here, and everyone would not be able to dodge and resist at all, maybe Xu Sheng would be shot to death by a burst of random arrows, which would be a great merit.
Thinking of this, Zhao Quan's eyes lit up, he knew that if he really shot Xu Sheng, then he would definitely be able to upgrade to three levels, no, five levels in a row, and when the time comes, things like glory, wealth, and high status will come in a steady stream.
Therefore, at this time, Zhao Quan's eyes only had Xu Sheng in them, and there was nothing else.
It is also because of this that Zhao Quan lost his last chance, and soon, the blow will fall on his head.
"Hurry up, hurry up, get closer!" Zhao Quan kept muttering in his mouth, and Xu Sheng, who wanted to move forward slowly, got closer.
By Zhao Quan's side, he had already prepared fifty of the strongest marksmen with the strongest marksmanship, and as soon as Xu Sheng entered the shooting range, he would shoot him immediately.
Although Zhao Quan has never heard of sniper tactics, at this moment, he is self-taught!
"Well, what's wrong, why don't you move forward!" Suddenly, Xu Sheng stopped advancing.
Seeing that there was another distance of twenty or thirty meters, Xu Sheng was about to enter his sniper range, but at this time, Xu Sheng stopped, which directly made Zhao Quan so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven, and the second Buddha was born, so he couldn't wait to step forward and directly drag Xu Sheng over twenty or thirty meters.
The current feeling in Zhao Quan's heart is like the feeling of a beautiful woman who has stripped naked and lay down in the bed, and then suddenly walked away.
I took off my pants, but you walked away, I believe that this feeling, a man would go crazy.
Anyway, Zhao Quan's heart is extremely uncomfortable now, and his heart is as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.
