Chapter 184: Pandora's Box

After leaving Mingzhu's world, Xia used the longbow and some other resources to exchange a batch of food with Mingzhu.

At the same time, she was warned that after obtaining the core fragments of civilization, she must use them carefully to prevent them from becoming any strange creatures.

At the end of the chat, Ming Zhu's words made Xia Qimao pause.

Mingzhu: Since it's snowing so heavily over there, why don't you invade other players, even if it's anti-invasion, it's just to give you points and treasure chests.

Mingzhu didn't know that his words were like opening Pandora's box, which caused very terrible consequences.

"yes, I didn't think of that!" Xia Qi was so excited that he slapped his thigh.

He can take the natural barrier of the blizzard and invade other players, swipe points and grab some resources.

Anyway, now that the road is closed by heavy snow, the documents and reports from various cities cannot be delivered, and he is also trapped here, and he doesn't know what is happening outside. Instead of sitting here worrying, it's better to find something to do on your own.

As for what happened in Daxia City during his absence, there was also Zhang Liang, the secretary general, to help him, and there was no problem in thinking about it.

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Qi immediately wrote a letter of appointment, appointing him to deal with the events of Great Xia during his absence, and then sent it to Zhang Liang after stamping his own big seal.

He chose a player lower in the leaderboard, and then chose Invasion.

Subsequently, the panel of the configuration of the army's strength was displayed in front of Xia Qi.

His gaze quickly swept over the military consumption of various arms, and Xia Qi found that compared with ordinary orc soldiers, military expenses were directly two to three times more expensive.

Among them, the most expensive military expenditure is the elephant people, which will cost tens of thousands of civilization points!

But then again, to some extent, this kind of giant war unit does have the capital to do whatever it wants on the battlefield, and can even dominate the outcome of a war.

This price should be considered a comparative value.

However, the orcs had just experienced a battle with the barbarians of the northern tribes before, and the casualties were not small, and they were still recuperating. Moreover, the continuous mobilization of them for combat in a short period of time can easily arouse resentment.

So, let's let them recuperate for a while.

After thinking about it, there are currently four battle units on the Elephant Man's side, and in addition to the two Elephant Men who fought with the Barbarians before going out, there are still two Elephant Men left, and Xia Qi turned to pull the other two Elephant Men who had been resting for a while on the expedition list.

After that, considering the defending ordnance against the enemy, Xia Qi pulled another three-bow bed crossbow up.

Also, since the siege is going to besiege the city, the siege vehicle must also need one.

These two siege equipment and two giant war units, the military expenditure is already nearly 100,000, and that number makes Xia Qi's eyelids jump.

Otherwise, how can it be said that if the bronze rank fights a little seriously, the military budget will have to be hundreds of thousands?

This war and burning money is really not a casual talk.

Fortunately, there are many cities in Xia Qi's Great Xia, and several development projects will provide him with a lot of civilization points every day, and over a period of time, Xia Qi has also accumulated a lot of civilization points.

For the rest of the troop configuration, Xia Qi obviously didn't plan to mobilize orcs, and instead chose human soldiers.

After pondering in his heart, Xia Qi selected Xiong as the vanguard general of this expedition, and allocated him two hundred shield soldiers, two hundred spearmen and three hundred halberd soldiers, a total of seven hundred melee infantry units to form a advancing force, plus two hundred archers as long-range support cover.

In addition, a number of auxiliary units such as scouts, gang leaders and military doctors were brought along, as well as an entire convoy of transports.

After all, Xia Qi was determined to grab supplies this time.

As Xia Qi clicked the confirmation button, he only saw a change in the foreground, and when he came back to his senses, he was already in an unfamiliar environment.

Before he could see it clearly, the pleasant temperature had already been fed back to his skin for the first time, and the change in climate made Xia Qi and the soldiers in the army have a look on their faces as if they were in a different world.

The season here is probably just in the spring, and the spring flowers are full of life, and even the sunlight shining down is extraordinarily warm, which happens to be the most comfortable season of the year.

Compared to the summer when the winter was harsh and the snowstorm swept by, it was a little too comfortable.

Xia Qi lightly knocked on Lightning's abdomen, came to a small high slope not far away, and quickly looked around with the height.

At this time, their location should be the periphery of a forest, but Xia Qi looked around, but he didn't see any outline of the city.

The system will not teleport the invading player too far from enemy territory, i.e. the opponent's city is definitely nearby.

Xia Qi first discerned the direction, if his guess was correct, the other player's city should be hidden in the forest.

A group of scouts was sent deep into the forest to survey the terrain, while the rest of the army rested in place.

The more civilization develops, the harder it is to hide its whereabouts.

It's like when it's still a small tribe, if you can't beat it, you can run away overnight, and no matter how big the loss is, how big can it be?

On the contrary, now, after having a city, it is a little difficult to abandon the city and escape, after all, the resources of a city are not something that can be given up if you give up.

The scouts soon brought back the news that they had discovered the path in the forest leading to the other city.

Xia Qi didn't mean to hide his whereabouts, or rather, it was a little unrealistic for him to hide his whereabouts, after all, there were two big elephant heads there.

However, from the beginning, Xia Qi did not have any intention of attacking, he directly led the army into the forest, followed the road to the enemy city, and advanced all the way to the city.

The approaching heavy roar brought great attention to the defenders, so much so that the generals who defended the city lit the wolf smoke without determining the exact situation of the place.

Looking at the billowing wolf smoke that rushed straight into the sky, Xia Qi pouted indifferently, in the face of strength, everything else is empty, as long as the opposing player has not found a way to deal with large combat units, no matter how many troops come, it will only be a head.

The army continued to advance, and at the moment when it broke away from the forest area and completely approached the perimeter of the enemy's city, Yang Bufan, who was standing on the wall, and the soldiers of the city defense troops under his hand were all frightened and pale.

"Weird...... Monster! There are monsters!! ”

With an exclamation, the fear in the hearts of the soldiers was already directly revealed on their faces.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the generals defending the city, their whole hearts began to twitch non-stop, where had they seen such a battle before they had never fought with a special civilization?

The ten meters tall size of the two elephant men was enough to scare them out!

However, after all, this city defender is a person who is assigned by the player to the border city as a city defender, and his own ability is not too bad.

forcibly steadied himself, only to hear the general guarding the city shouting: "Don't panic, we still have the city wall, that monster can't come in!" All the soldiers are ready to defend the city, and the bed crossbow and catapult are loaded for me! ”

After the morale of the defending generals was raised, the panicked soldiers on the city wall calmed down a little and quickly returned to their respective positions.

On top of the wall, two bed crossbows and two catapults began to adjust the angle of attack, ready to attack.

The two elephant men advanced all the way with the siege troops, and the catapult and the bed crossbow looked quite bluffing, but the accuracy and attack speed were really flattering.

The siege took less than half an hour and was over.

Just the two-headed elephant man was able to press the defenders of the opposite city directly to the ground and rub them at will, plus the other siege troops, almost without trying their best, they had already broken through the city.

As soon as the city gate was broken, Xia Qi's army maintained the formation and drove straight in.

The defending troops of this city have long been frightened, and their morale has fallen again and again, almost to the point of collapse, how can they defeat the morale of the siege force under Xia Qi at this time?

After a short period of death-throping struggle, the defenders quickly moved towards a rout.

Xia Qi looked at the general who was tied up by five flowers, and he didn't even have any interest in knowing what the other party's name was, so he directly locked him in the prisoner car.

Xia Qi had no intention of killing this general, because it would be easy to make enemies by doing so, and now he just wanted to play a few passers-by and grab a few waves of supplies, but he didn't have the interest of establishing a mortal enemy for himself.

Besides, he can capture this general alive and let the player on the other side ransom him!

This is a good deal, Xia Qi has already done a lot of things before, and it is naturally familiar to do it again.

Xia Qi, who returned to his old business, kept calculating in his heart that there were a few "valuable" guys in this city, but all the officials, regardless of the size of the official position, were arrested by him.

Although some people can't change many things, no matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are still meat!

Xia Qi has no intention of robbing the population, and now that it is still snowing in Great Xia, isn't it purely to increase the burden on himself when the population is robbed at this time?

Zhuo Bufan, who had just received the wolf smoke signal, would never have thought that less than half an hour after receiving the news of the player's invasion, his border city would be completely breached.

After Xia Qi's army entered the city, it quickly controlled the city gates on both sides, as well as the military camp and the city lord's mansion.

Then he unceremoniously scavenged the resources in the city's armory and material warehouse, and easily got a map in the barracks.

However, Zhuo Bufan also knew in his heart that as a border city that was often invaded, it was inappropriate to hoard too many resources here, because once it fell, it would be easy to cheapen the enemy.

Therefore, the weapons, equipment and material resources in the warehouses on both sides are quite limited, and Xia Qi will be loaded in a few cars.

His entire convoy is still long, and this bit of material and equipment obviously can't satisfy Xia Qi's appetite.

Calculate the time, at this point in time, the opposing player should still be deploying troops and gathering troops in the main city.

Xia Qi spread out the map he got from the barracks, and compared the location and distance on the map, he quickly calculated in his heart.
