Chapter 647: Changes in the Siege
There was a huge cheer from the top of the city. "Co * Le * Words * Love * First * Hair ()] [.dashubao.cc many books, fast updates]
The enemy finally retreated temporarily, which meant that they withstood the enemy's first frontal assault.
There were countless corpses lying in the field, the smell of blood was overwhelming, and the brick and stone walls on the city tower had been damaged by the sword qi, revealing a little sadness.
Although the Shenyan people retreated, in fact, in the battle on the city tower just now, the casualties of the Longyan people were even heavier.
The Shenyan people just suffered from the fact that the number of masters who went up to the city tower was not enough, but the strength of the individual body was generally stronger than that of the Longyan people, which was an indisputable fact.
Many Longyan soldiers sacrificed their lives when they were dragging each other's footsteps.
Lin Si saw this scene many times.
He is not a beginner brother on the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is used to seeing life and death. But at this time, he still couldn't take it easy, even if they won a small victory.
He saw that many Longyan people did not hesitate to block the sword with their bodies and hit the sword with their bones in order to block the masters who were far stronger than themselves, and the ultimate goal was just to slow down the other party's pace for a moment.
His strength is far stronger than those who have been lying down forever, but he cannot raise a trace of pride in his heart.
He is not from Longyan, and he can't understand the heroic feelings of Longyan's soldiers who defend the city without fear of life and death, but it doesn't prevent him from respecting these people in his heart.
He suddenly remembered once again the group of Moon Country spies that the two of them met in Qingchuan when they first met Mu Zhe.
In order to get them to send back that information, the spies did not hesitate at all, and decided to use their lives to lure away the surrounding Qingchuan soldiers.
They didn't seem to have thought about how precious their lives were, as if they could abandon them at any time for some kind of mission, which was similar to the Longyan people lying on the ground in front of them.
Perhaps, there are such people in every country. Even if many people think they are stupid, too impulsive, and brainwashed, they don't have their save. I'm afraid that a country will really collapse.
These obscure soldiers were much taller than many powerful cultivators, he thought silently.
"Hahaharin brothers, you're all right"
Jiang Rong's voice pulled him back to reality, and then he saw Liu Jing, Fan Zhongyuan, Xiao Dong, and many other generals greet them.
Their faces may be full of surprise. Or through gratitude, or through rejoicing. Or through the incredible.
"Brother Lin, thanks to you this time, if you weren't here, the city tower would be in danger" Jiang Rong, who was dressed in armor, hugged Lin Si's blood-stained body heavily.
while the others greeted Mu Zheping and Nie He respectively.
"Brother Ha Jiang, why be polite, this is what we should do, isn't it" Lin Sihui fed his original state of mind.
Fan Zhongyuan laughed and said, "But you guys are doing so well, it's so good that we can't believe it"
Who would have thought that the three of them would not only be able to carry the masters of the Heavenly Realm, but even kill each other. This is something that Fan Zhongyuan himself has not been able to do.
"yes, yesterday when I heard you say you don't need anyone else to interfere. I still don't think so, I thought you were arrogant and arrogant, but now I understand, it's me Sha who has eyes and no pearls, little brother Lin, don't care about Sha's thoughts yesterday" A rough general who was also present at the extraordinary meeting yesterday said loudly.
"That's right, I, Bian Zhong, have also convinced Brother Lin, when the siege of Kuning City is completely lifted, I will invite you to drink, don't you not come"
"How can it be your turn, please come to me when the time comes," Jiang Rong laughed.
"When the time comes, everyone will go together," Lin Si grinned.
Seeing that he was not proud. The crowd was clamoring.
When everyone went down the tower and entered the city, there was already a sea of jubilation.
Although this was only the first time that the enemy had repelled the attack, and there would definitely be a series of battles to follow, it was enough to make the people in the city smile.
The three ghosts of Shangling really appeared in the big battle, and killed Mo Baisheng, the master of the Heavenly Realm of Shenyan, and the news quickly spread throughout the city.
No one could have imagined beforehand. The three Realm Breaking True Abilities were against the early stage of the Heaven Realm, and as for the final defeat of the other party, it made them feel unbelievable.
However, this news has been confirmed by Jiang Rong and others, and where can it be fake
For a while, everyone in the city was excited, as if they really saw the hope of repelling the Shenyan people, and the three ghosts of Shangling completely became the heroes known to everyone in Kuning City.
Lin Si and Mu Zhe Ping Nie He were on their way back to their residences together, and there were excited people in the city rushing forward almost all the time along the way. They shouted loudly, and even many enthusiastic people gave them bouquets of vegetables and fruits.
This kind of treatment has never been enjoyed by the three of them before.
Who doesn't want to be recognized, even if the three of them want to be as calm as possible, how can they suppress the joy in their hearts.
Eventually, they had to make a lot of effort to return to their homes, and the people outside eventually dispersed.
Liu Jing had already arranged a big mansion for the three of them and Lan Lan, and they didn't have to worry about their daily life at all.
"I almost wanted to be here. Nie He said with a grin.
"Hehe, it's because I couldn't see the light of day as an assassin before, but now I feel very satisfied to be surrounded like this," Lin Si teased.
Nie He pursed his lips: "Hey, it looks like you haven't been an assassin before." ”
Mu Zheping let out a long sigh: "I never thought that I would one day be supported by so many people from the bottom of my heart, this feeling is really uncalm." ”
"Yes, we three assassins can get mixed up like this, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh. ”
Inside the city was a scene of celebration, but outside the city it was the opposite.
In the camp, the morale of the Shenyan soldiers had inevitably dropped.
It was indeed just a defeat, not a defeat in the siege, and they still had the upper hand in their forces.
And many Shenyan soldiers fought all the way from north to south, and it was not the first time they had experienced such a scene.
During the time when Shenyan first attacked Long Yan, Long Yan was connected to many cities due to his lack of preparation. But later, after Long Yan began to gradually organize a defensive posture, Shen Yan's pace of progress gradually slowed down.
It's normal for it to take ten days and half a month to attack a city, but in the end, they are the ones who win.
This time, however, it was a little different.
Their losses were a little too big, and the losses of the other side were much smaller than they expected.
In the past, even if you didn't attack immediately, a full-scale attack could make the opponent decentralized, but this time it didn't.
In the final analysis, it was the monks battalion and the rest of the army that did not achieve the expected mission objectives.
It seems that this battle. It was time to prepare for a long-term siege, and many soldiers gradually became aware of it.
However, they didn't know that their coach Gu Zihan really planned to finish the battle at the beginning.
This kind of fighting is actually very unwise, and it is rare for the whole army to attack the city as soon as it comes up, and it is completely consuming the lives of the soldiers.
The better approach is generally to besiege but not attack, and wait for the surrounding Shenyan troops and horses to gradually converge. At the same time, time and other tactics are used to drag down the materials and hearts of the people in the opposite city.
Kuning City is no ordinary city, and it is not so easy to capture. Normally. It often takes years and months for a big city like this to be taken down.
However, this is located on the main transportation route, and it is a hub town within a radius of thousands of miles, if it can't be taken here, then even if the Shenyan people can take a detour to capture the rear city, they will also face a situation where the route is not smooth and the logistics cannot be replenished.
This is a hard bone, but it is also a place where Shenyan is bound to win.
Taking Kuning City is equivalent to choking the throat of the Longyan defenders in the middle lane, and it is of extraordinary significance for the Shenyan army in the remaining surrounding cities to continue to advance.
It's not that Gu Zihan doesn't want to slowly wear down the city. Then many of his men will survive.
But since the start of the war, Shenyan has been extremely beautiful on the surface, and in fact, it has also suffered great losses.
There is no one who fights without paying a heavy price, even if it is the victorious side.
For the sake of this big war, in order to support the supplies ahead, the supplies in Shenyan's country have gradually become scarce, and the people have begun to voice their dissatisfaction.
He was not the commander-in-chief of the entire mid-lane front. And the order given to him by his immediate superiors was to take the city of Kunin as much as possible.
This task is naturally very difficult, but Gu Zihan didn't think he could complete it at first.
His forces are stronger than those of his opponent, but when attacking a city, he will need twice as many troops as his opponent when facing a stubborn enemy. From this point of view, he actually does not have much advantage. His confidence mainly comes from the advantage of high-end combat power.
Before the start of this great war that swept through the middle of the continent, it was rare for the continent to have such a strange battle as it is now.
Although many military masters participated in previous battles, they did not become the main factor determining success or failure, and the role of individual bravery in large-scale wars was minimal, which was the original consensus of many people.
However, this time, when the sect joined forces with powerful countries such as Shenyan, people found out. After reaching a certain amount of high-end combat power, the effect caused is too terrifying.
One of the important reasons why Shen Yan was able to advance to the hinterland of the central part of Long Yan within half a year after Long Yan was able to defend it with all his might was that their masters were much stronger.
In the past, if you wanted to capture a city, you often had to go through a long tug-of-war, and it was not surprising that it took a year or two.
And now
The master can ignore the moat, ignore the formation, ignore the storage of the city wall and other fortifications, and kill directly at the opponent's city.
In the past, the number of masters killed directly, but they only went into the tiger's den alone to die. But now the master who kills it is stronger than the defenders on the other side's city tower, and the meaning is completely different.
After the castle tower was captured, the city gate could be opened from the inside very lightly.
The other party often has an army of more than 100,000 people, and it has already been directly broken into by its own side.
The other party's original condescending geographical advantage disappeared in an instant. After colliding with a larger army of your own in the city, it often ends in a direct collapse.
You don't need too complicated tactics, and you don't need to be very elaborate in command, just push forward.
Such a siege is simply a kind of loophole.
However, this phenomenon does exist. Unless the opponent's master is stronger, they can only use the large defensive array to delay for a few more days at most.
No one could have imagined that after the sect joined the national war, it would have such a terrifying effect.
Gu Zihan didn't expect that the battle could still be fought like this.
He originally had the confidence of victory today, but in his mind, no matter how strong and difficult Kuning City was, it would not be able to stop the encroachment of these Heavenly Realm Breaking Masters on his side.
He knew the situation of Kuning City's high-end combat power, no matter how he calculated, it was impossible for the other party to withstand the combined efforts of Shenyan and the sect.
Therefore, when he finally saw that his masters had been killed and fell into disadvantage, the shock in his heart could be imagined. To be continued.
