Chapter 67: The Death Squad
Fierce battles are happening every day.The armies of the Haori Kingdom attack from all directions, and the battles last for long and short periods of time. In terms of the ferocity of the offensive alone, it was obviously inferior to the first day.
On the first day, it was gaining momentum, and the combat power that erupted was particularly amazing. After that, the threat is not so big. After all, Foote City has been preparing for decades to defend itself against invasion.
The city wall is almost ten zhang high, and all kinds of defense facilities are complete. The storehouses in the city are abundant, and everything that should be there is available. Bows and arrows, scrolls, etc., can be used casually, and it will be no problem to hold on for three months.
"Three months, three months, Qi Mingyuan's army will collapse. When the time comes, the kingdom's armies will echo outside, and victory will be ours!" Sparker shouted to the soldiers.
Feng Luo will not be like others, excitedly shouting "victory". The gloom in Spark's eyes may be able to hide from others, and Feng Luo can see it clearly.
Haori's army will definitely not collapse in three months, otherwise it will not be the strongest army on the mainland. Moreover, it is also unknown whether the kingdom's army will arrive in time.
Sparky had to believe that the king was out there, and he had to believe it, and he had to believe it.
After the Haori army gave up its intention of winning a single blow, the attack was very cautious, and the casualties were not as great as they were on the previous day. And Davao's soldiers, under the cross-attack of the other side, suffered heavy casualties.
Yes, even with the protection of the city walls, the casualties of the Davao soldiers still exceeded that of the other side. Only those who have experienced it firsthand can appreciate the strength of the Haori army.
Regarded by Sparker as an elite mobile team, the number has been changed by half. The men of each legion have casualties, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands, and the key depends on whether the opponent's attack is fierce that day.
In order to relieve the pressure on the city's guards, Spark stopped several death squads and set up ambushes on the battlefield. Taking advantage of the night to clean up the battlefield, the daredevils blended in. Dig a pit secretly and bury yourself.
The next day the battle began, and the men of the death squad burst out in the dense crowd of the enemy. Three or four reels are launched at the same time, and sometimes a dozen enemies can be taken on the road.
The number of death squads cannot be too large, more than 100 people at a time, and the number of local casualties is limited. The key is to choose the timing, when the enemy's offensive is at its most fierce, suddenly come so that the effect is not reflected in the number of casualties.
The soldiers of the death squads, when they signed up, knew that there was a dead end. But they still did not hesitate, because they fought head-on, and they also died in life. And if you die in a death squad, your family can get more rewards.
Their method of dodging is naturally Fengluo's. A long shallow pit that can be dug out in less than ten strokes after practice. Covering it with a wooden plank and others helping to lay the soil can achieve the purpose of concealment.
They hid under the planks and let them be trampled on. Hearing the signal from the city of Foot, they immediately launched a desperate attack. After the scrolls are released, there is often no time to do anything else, and they are crushed by angry enemy forces.
The assault of the death squad effectively interrupted the rhythm of the enemy's attack and gave the city head time to breathe.
This way can not be used every day. After three or four days, use it once, it's hard to prevent.
As the war continues, people die every day. The fire above the altar, lit every night, leads the souls of the dead to the world of the gods. Of course, there is basically no ceremony in the back, because the passage has been opened.
At a stalemate, some people start to get nervous. Because I don't know which day, it's my turn to die. The most uncertain thing is when the king will send troops to the rescue.
"Feng Luo, now I have to rely on you to find out the news, just to meet the king. Remember, be sure to bring back good news. Sparker told Feng Luo.
Now that the war is raging, the other generals can't leave. And the rank is low, and they can't ask the king for help. Feng Luo is very suitable, he has no troops in his hands, and he seems to have no other use except for his personal cultivation.
Feng Luo also happened to stay in the city to be bored, because in terms of defending the city, he played a similar role as a mobile team. And I was worried about the situation of the territory, and I really wanted to go out and have a look.
So, the better it gets, the better it gets, the better it gets, they come back a month later and bring back good news.
That night, Feng Luo took advantage of the opportunity to clean up the battlefield and sneaked out of the city. No one saw his trace, it seemed as if a breeze was blowing, and when he opened his eyes, there was nothing.
Feng Luo bypassed the camp and took a less crowded path. Because he had no intention of assassinating, the road was very smooth. After passing through the camp, he wrote down the general deployment of the army for future use.
Secretly got a horse, Feng Luo sped up the trip. Halfway through, you encounter enemy scouts, kill both of them, and continue on your way.
While hurrying, he hid his tracks, and at dawn, he arrived at his territory. Before he could turn the corner, Feng Luo heard a burst of birdsong.
He smiled, someone had spotted him and was reporting to the people inside.
Slowed down and walked slowly. After a while, several horses ran out, and the horse in front was doing Li Lu.
After not seeing her for many days, Li Lu has lost a lot of weight, but her whole person looks more capable. There is more fortitude between the eyebrows, and it looks more energetic.
"Good work. Feng Luo jumped off his horse and said softly. He left his territory behind and went to Foote City to help guard it, and all the burden was on the shoulders of this weak woman. When he thought about it, he felt a little ashamed.
Li Lu also got off the horse, approached Feng Luo, and waited for Feng Luo to stretch out his hand. After all, there are many people next to her, and girls don't dare to take too initiative. But to her disappointment, Feng Luo didn't mean to hold her.
"Let's go, let's go back first. Feng Luo pretended not to see anything, and walked inside with the reins.
The city walls were still there, protected by the Fengluo formation, and were not attacked in any way. When I entered the city gate, I found that there was a big change.
The roads criss-crossed, paved with gravel and flattened. Some houses are occupied, and things are drying in front of the house, which is a little more popular.
What attracted Feng Luo's attention the most was the field next to it, the crops had sprouted and grown tender green patches, which were very beautiful.
"Isn't the battle fierce?, can Foote City be defended?" asked Li Lu. Actually, she didn't care about these issues, but Feng Luo was doing it, and she also wanted to know the situation.
"It's okay, it's okay to hold on for two or three months. I will come back for three days, and I will go to the king. Feng Luo nodded and said.
"The King?" asked Li Lu, puzzled.
"Yes, the King, the King of Davao. Feng Luo repeated, and then smiled, "I asked for someone's title, and I haven't met yet, it's a bit rude." ”
