Chapter 215: The Siege of the City
After thousands of selections, in the end, Yin Feng chose Xia Qi.
There are many reasons why he chose Xia Qi, although Xia Qi's ranking in the bronze rank has entered less than 10,000, in the eyes of the more than 700,000 players behind him, he is already an out-and-out boss.
But further afront, for example, in the eyes of players who ranked 1,000 before, he was still an out-and-out weak.
And in the eyes of Yin Feng, Xia Qi's ranking has a lot of moisture, and it is completely by luck with the blizzard.
The most important thing is that Xia Qi invaded wildly during the time when the blizzard came, plundering a large amount of resources.
A soft persimmon, but with a lot of resources in his hands, in the eyes of the real boss, it is tantamount to a child holding gold in the city, not being coveted.
For example, the previous Jin Ming, and the current Yin Feng, all came from this.
But now it seems that this Xia Qi is a little different from what he imagined, and it looks much stronger.
As for the fact that Xia Qi is an orc civilization, it has long been decided.
But there are different opinions about what race he is.
Some say that he is a lion man, some say that he is a werewolf, a bear man, and even more that he is a minotaur.
But now it seems that Yin Feng thinks that Xia Qi may be from the bear people.
In fact, a player once said that Xia Qi is actually a human being.
Yin Feng thought that he would have scoffed at such speeches.
The fact that a civilized creature cannot live in other civilizations for a long time is a matter that has long been settled in the battlefield of civilization. The player who said this was a rookie who didn't understand anything at first glance.
In this wave of invasion battles, although Yin Feng did not pour out, it was also menacing, and directly sent 3,000 troops and five siege equipment.
The army formation of three thousand troops quickly lined up, and five siege equipment began to be rolled out from the rear, looking at the movement outside the city, Guo Ming's face became solemn.
But Bell, who was beside him, was eager to try.
The bears are belligerent, and this is the first battle after the bears surrender, so it is important to play at a high level to show the value of the bears.
Guo Ming knew that these guys couldn't count on defending the city.
Turning his head to look at the longbowmen behind him, as well as the two eight-bull crossbows mounted on the top of the city, Guo Ming's expression on his face eased slightly, it seemed that this battle still had to be fought.
Even if you fight well, you don't even need to light the wolf smoke.
After all, Great Xia's Eight Bull Crossbow is of gold quality, and its range, power, stability, and endurance are much stronger than ordinary bed crossbows.
After a long period of operation, the bed crossbowmen were about to play with the bed crossbow, and as soon as the opponent's siege equipment entered the firing range, they manipulated the bed crossbow and fired.
Two giant crossbow arrows shot out in an instant, and before the yin wind could react, the bed crossbow at the front was exploded.
A powerful crossbow bolt shot a catapult in all directions.
"Damn!" Yin Feng subconsciously burst into a foul mouth.
This Xia Qi also seems to have a few brushes, his own bed crossbow is silver quality, and the opponent's bed crossbow can only enter the range when there is still a large section of his bed crossbow, and the opponent's bed crossbow has already fired.
Although this uses the bonus of the height of the city wall, but with such a range, the opponent's bed crossbow is at least silver level and has been improved.
As for the higher quality of gold, he didn't dare to think about it.
Rao is a veteran player who has been on the battlefield of civilization for decades, and he has never seen a gold-quality siege machine.
This thing can only be found in gold chests, and the chance is very low, and even if it does, it is basically used by the player himself.
Even if it is taken out for trade, it is a barter between players, and no one will take it out in exchange for civilization points.
Yin Feng's face was gloomy, and he blamed him for being unlucky, and he was actually teleported into the mountains.
If it is in the plain, five siege equipment are lined up, and there is always something to reach the firing range.
A wall like this can't withstand a few attacks at all.
If it were any other player, he would fall into a dilemma for a while, but Yin Feng was different, an old bird like him had seen more routines, and a battle like this was not qualified to make him retreat.
With a horn of attack, the Yin Wind side began to attack.
The large shield soldiers opened the way in front, and the siege troops in the rear carried ladders and pushed siege engines, and quickly approached the city walls.
Seeing this, Guo Ming immediately ordered: "The longbowmen prepare - release!" ”
At the moment when the opposing siege force entered the firing range, the longbowmen immediately shot the arrows in their hands.
It is worth mentioning that the bearman tribe has bearman troops, and there is no shortage of melee infantry at all, so seven hundred of these thousand human soldiers are longbowmen.
"!"
The yin wind is going crazy, this guy named Xia Qi has too many good things in his hands, right?
Not to mention the bed crossbow that had such a long range before, why did your archers have such a long range?!
The longbowman didn't know the resentment in Yin Feng's heart, and he kept firing bows and arrows, and the rain of arrows shot out of the city one after another.
But the siege troops outside were also very tenacious, maintaining the posture of raising their shields to advance, and approaching the gate of the bear tribe step by step. After advancing to a certain distance, the enemy archers returned fire and began to shoot arrows at the top of the wall.
Guo Ming held a bronze shield in his hand, blocking two rounds of arrow rain in succession, he gritted his teeth, judging from the current situation, even if his side occupies the advantage of defending the city and the range, but the disparity in strength is huge, and if it continues like this, it will not be able to stop the advance of the siege troops on the opposite side at all.
Looking at this situation, it is inevitable that there will be a short-handed confrontation at that time.
The only good news is that the Bears tribe is built on a small hill with steep cliffs on three sides, and they only need to defend one wall.
"Bell leader, please lead the bears under your command to wait under the city gate, and when the city gate is breached, you will kill it!"
Although Guo Ming could completely open the city gate and kill the opponent by surprise, he wanted to lose a wave of the opponent's troops before that.
Bell first glanced at Guo Ming, and then raised the battle axe in his hand and shouted: "The warriors of the bear clan, come with me!" ”
Over time, the siege forces inevitably advanced under the city walls.
Seeing this, Guo Ming directly waved his hand and motioned to the soldiers to greet him with rolling logs and stones.
At the same time, he shouted loudly: "Keep an eye on the wall, don't let the ladder rack on the opposite side come up!" ”
Guo Ming is holding a bronze war knife in one hand and a big shield in the other.
With him as a fierce general guarding one wall, it was difficult for ordinary soldiers to rush up, while other soldiers concentrated on the rest.
All of a sudden, the war was also very anxious.
Outside the city, a man wearing a long sword hanging from his waist and wearing light armor thought for a while, then turned to Yin Feng and admonished: "Your Majesty, the enemy's defending troops are stubborn, and I am afraid it will be difficult to capture this wall today, so it is better to retreat for the time being, and after a short rest, we will fight again on another day." ”
Hearing this, Yin Feng, who was dressed in armor, suddenly turned blue and red for a while.
"Fight again? Strategist, you know, we're running out of time! ”
He did a stupid thing before, which directly caused the resources within his civilization to fall into a state of extreme scarcity, and the previous few invasions were all small fish and shrimp, and the resources he grabbed were also a drop in the bucket.
In other words, if he can't grab a lot of resources and fill this vacancy, he will collapse! How does this make him not rush?
Looking at the yin wind that was already chaotic, the man who was called a military advisor sighed secretly in his heart, and then spoke again to admonish.
"Your Majesty, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it, the enemy's defending troops have consumed a lot of resources to defend the city in this battle, and we will definitely be able to fight much easier next time."
"Moreover, there is a way that is to fight in one go, then decline, and then exhaustion, and now the morale of our army is low, and if we continue to fight, it will be difficult to win, but it will only increase casualties. It is a good strategy to retreat for the time being and fight again at another date. ”
In such an important battle, how could a military advisor who could be brought out by the yin wind to go out with the army be a mediocre talent?
On weekdays, Yin Feng also trusts him very much, but this time is different from the past.
His previous steps were too big, and a slight mistake was not as simple as pulling the egg.
There is a way that one wrong step is a wrong step, and Rao is an old bird who has been developing for decades, and he has to collapse in the same way.
At this time, Yin Feng, who was standing on the verge of collapse, was extremely anxious in his heart.
After a period of mental struggle, Yin Feng gritted his teeth, and finally chose to believe in the decision of the military advisor, and then ordered someone to blow the horn of retreat.
Looking at the rapidly retreating enemy army, on the city wall, Guo Ming, who was already covered with blood stains in bronze armor, exhaled a deep breath.
Anyway, the first day was over.
"Clean up the corpses, don't let your guard down!"
Compared with Guo Ming, Bell's expression is a little unpleasant.
It led a group of bear-man warriors to wait for a long time at the gates of the city, but instead of a battle, it was the sound of a local retreating horn.
"General Guo, why don't I take the warriors of the bear people to attack at night and catch them off guard!"
Guo Ming heard the words and comforted: "Don't worry, Bell chief, we don't know much about the local information at present, and it is very likely that we will be ambushed by sending troops without authorization." It's not as good as this, the bears are familiar with the terrain here, and it's not too late to find out the enemy's situation before making the next step. ”
Hearing this, Bell was impatient, but after all, he was sent by His Majesty the Emperor, and in the end it could only end with a compromise.
The battle was fiercer than Guo Ming expected, and the gate below was crumbling by enemy siege vehicles, and Guo Ming thought it was going to be breached several times.
But in the end, the gate lasted to the end.
A battle to defend the city was fought until sunset, when the yin wind on the opposite side sounded the horn of retreat with an unwilling face.
The military advisor standing on the side saw this scene in his eyes, and couldn't help but sigh again in his heart.
It was only the next day, but their king's mood became more impatient, and just now he once again admonished the king to withdraw his troops sensibly, but he was refuted.
Compared to yesterday, this wave, their siege momentum has become a little more ferocious, and this change has raised hope for Yin Feng.
He wanted to take the city in front of him in one fell swoop today, but the fact was that they had been defeating the evening, and although they had attacked the wall several times, they had not been able to completely capture it.
After all, even if the city walls are low, how can they break through it in just a day or two when their siege equipment can't be placed at all?
This kind of battle must be done step by step, and the delusion of achieving success overnight is the first step towards defeat, but at this time, the yin wind can no longer listen to his advice.
He sighed heavily, and a hint of disappointment flashed in the military advisor's eyes.
On the walls of the bear tribe, Guo Ming summoned a military doctor to treat his injuries.
"General, are you wounded?"
"Don't worry, it's just a small injury." Guo Ming said in a flat tone.
Don't say he's really hurt slightly, and even if he's not, he'll have to say yes.
He is now the psychological pillar of a thousand human soldiers in the city, and he must not have a problem.
Then, Guo Ming couldn't help but think of the previous battle.
He fought with the opponent's opponent for dozens of rounds, but instead of slashing the opponent under the knife, he was injured by the opponent.
