562 The first strike is stronger
Ling Xiaotian really wanted his squadron to find a safe place to hide, but this was a grassland, and the terrain within a radius of thousands of miles was full of flat rivers, not to mention a small hill, even if it was a mound, it was difficult to find, but it was said that there was no danger to defend. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Boss, it's not a matter for us to wander the grassland all the time" Jiang Yicheng looked at the eagles flying in unison in the blue sky and said: "If that eagle is the enemy's pet, they will immediately know our specific location, and the war will be inevitable after all, if you want me to say, we shouldn't be running, just wait here, wait to fight them to the death"
Ling Xiaotian shook his head and said, "Connor hates me to the core, and he knows very well my strength, as well as your strength, so he will at least send a brigade of people to encircle and suppress us, facing an enemy dozens of times my size, do you think we can win completely?"
Jiang Yicheng stopped talking, the only thing he could guarantee was the safety of him and Liu Tiancheng, Ling Xiaotian's safety naturally needless to say, even if Conor personally led the team to come, he couldn't help him, but they still had dozens of brothers, once they fought, it would be difficult for these people to survive.
"Boss, you said he would send a brigade over, isn't it likely?" Liu Tiancheng said.
Ling Xiaotian analyzed: "It is very possible, Conor has been following Commander Keno for a long time, at least he has learned one thing, that is, everything is handled carefully, not to mention the two of you, with my existence alone, he will send at least one regiment of troops to encircle and suppress us, because a brigade of men and horses is not enough for me to send alone, for the sake of insurance, he will only send more men and horses, and will never send less, so I said that it is at least a brigade."
There are nearly 3,000 people in a main station brigade, and encircling and suppressing Ling Xiaotian and his dozens of people is simply a piece of cake. Liu Tiancheng originally thought that it would be a regiment at most, but he didn't expect it to be a brigade, and the ratio of troops was thirty to one, even if he and his men could fight again, it would be impossible to deal with thirty enemies alone, and they were not all rookies
"Boss, what should I do?" Jiang Yicheng asked with some concern.
Ling Xiaotian said with a smile: "Conor still underestimates me, if I were him, I would definitely take a single-handed approach to deal with this kind of thing, that is, to use a person with superior strength to chase a group of people who need to be eliminated, this is called the enemy is clear and I am dark, but he is now sending so many people with great fanfare, and it has become the enemy I know that the two of you are leading the big army to lead them by the nose, and I will sneak attack them from time to time, and in a few days, they will change from a brigade to a brigade When the time comes, it will be time for you to go, We don't have confidence in one to thirty, but one to three is always fine, right?"
"Hehe, the boss is wise" Liu Tiancheng said happily: "A brigade is a little less, why don't you leave a little more?"
……
Defend to the death, defend Keno gave everyone a death order, and he took the lead in standing on the city wall, leading the soldiers to repel the enemy's attacks again and again. Behind the city walls, bed crossbows and stone throwers were densely placed on the ground, all aimed at the sky, in order to repel the enemy's aerial attacks.
Batus was a little annoyed by the current form, according to his thoughts, the defenders who retreated to the back pass must be more vulnerable, but so far they have not been able to move forward, due to the increase in the opponent's "air defense strength", the Eagle Hooknose Bird Legion has suffered heavy losses, and the two attacks have been shot down by a total of hundreds, so he no longer dares to use it easily.
"Report to the Lord General, our sixth siege has once again ended in failure," the herald came to report.
Up to now, the casualties on Batus's side have exceeded 120,000, and if you look at Keno's side, the total is only 50,000 or 60,000, according to the current form, he still has to consume about 100,000 soldiers in order to capture Houguan and lay a solid foundation for the imperial army to drive straight in, that is to say, the 400,000 people of the two group armies will be reduced by two-thirds, and only a hundred thousand people can be invested in the next battle
It is really a bit impossible to exchange more than 200,000 people for a gate, because even if they drive straight in, they will have to fight city by city, and the consumption at that time is also very large, so being able to leave one more soldier now is equivalent to having more insurance for future battles.
All kinds of siege methods were used, including night battles, but none of them worked, and Batus's face was extremely gloomy.
The loss of Eagle Hooknose was not small, he stepped forward and said: "Lord General, before I have a plan to come here, I brought a few demonic beast pangolins, which can drive them to fight a tunnel from here, go straight to the back pass, and after the tunnel is opened, you can send soldiers to sneak behind the pass and open the city gate."
"It's a good way" Batus said a little excitedly: "The surface here is rocky, and it is difficult to excavate tunnels manually, and the opposing general must think so, so if we do this, we will definitely be able to catch them off guard, by the way, how much time do you need?"
Eagle Hook Nose thought for a while and said, "Six pangolins can make holes together, and they can open up a mile of land in one day."
"Great, then choose a site from three miles away to make a hole" Batus patted the hooked nose on the shoulder and said: "As long as you can take the Houguan, you will make great contributions, and when you take the pass, I will play Your Majesty, and give you an additional official and knight, and you go up to prepare In addition, in order to confuse Keno, I will continue to organize the siege of the city in these three days"
……
The army has been marching mightily on the grassland, this is the brigade responsible for tracking Ling Xiaotian and them, the name of the person in charge is Shi Wei, the fifty-second level fighter, under the jurisdiction of the three main station regiments, he is the brother-in-law of the main general Connar, he is extremely loyal to Connar, and he has always obeyed his words. It was for this reason that Conor had entrusted him with such an important task.
The brigade was equipped with the best tremor trackers, and they quickly found the horseshoe prints, chasing them all the way without taking any more wrong steps.
"Report to the brigade commander, judging by the horseshoe prints on the ground, those people were here the day before yesterday," a scout reported.
Shi Wei nodded and said: "Continue to track, this task is very important, we must hurry up and complete everyone listen to me, this is the first task after we abandon the darkness and turn to the light, we must complete the beautiful and bright, on the day of our triumph, the Lord General will definitely reward everyone."
In fact, most of the soldiers are very unimpressed, using a brigade of nearly 3,000 people to eliminate a squadron of more than 60 people, this is the practice of killing chickens with a knife, even if it is triumphant, what kind of reward can be received, and how many can be left on the heads of those who can be soldiers?
Shi Wei and his subordinates didn't notice that Ling Xiaotian was actually above their heads, and he had been observing them for a long time.
In Ling Xiaotian's words, since there is an opportunity for the enemy to be bright and dark, why not make good use of it, it can be regarded as a congratulatory to Connor for "abandoning the darkness and turning to the light", you have seventy or eighty thousand people, Lao Tzu is just preparing to kill you for three thousand, compared to your preparation to completely destroy us, it can be regarded as a very face-saving person
"Lao Tzu, what kind of attack are you going to give them first?" The old immortal asked, he prayed "sincerely" for these people below, if you meet Ling Xiaotian, you will be considered bad luck for eight lifetimes
"It's almost time for lunch, so let's add some ingredients to their meals first," Ling Xiaotian said lightly.
