Chapter Fifty-Nine: Successfully Defending the City
As soon as the words fell, he saw those sword lights that came out of nowhere, but they quickly disintegrated a large number of sergeants, and the team of more than 10,000 people directly lost nearly one-third of them at once!
What a terrible casualty this must be! And this is just the casualty of this squad, and the situation encountered by the other two squads is also similar, all in all, this first wave of formations directly took away nearly 10,000 people!
Even Ye Feng didn't expect his formation to be so effective! He arranged five waves of formations on each road, and each wave of formations was mainly composed of a large number of killing formations, such as the Ten Thousand Sword Formation, the Thousand Killing Formation and other strong formations were naturally included, but the benefits of this first wave were really considerable!
Perhaps it was precisely because this first wave of casualties really aroused the extreme attention of these enemies, and they were also cautious, and because of this, when they arrived at the second wave of formations arranged by Ye Feng, they were on guard!
Because these formations are range-based damage, after the original considerable attacks are apportioned, they can't do much damage to the true martial arts level warriors, even if the popularity of the true martial artists in the army is not very high, but if several true martial artists are gathered together, they can block the damage for those soldiers who are not at the true martial artist level!
In this way, this second wave of formations only caused each team to just drop more than a thousand corpses!
With such a countermeasure, this third wave of formations only dropped a few hundred corpses!
And so it goes. Ye Feng is a little bottomless, if he continues according to this trend, I'm afraid that the method of relying on these formations to consume the opponent's number will not be applicable!
But Ye Feng's worries were indeed a little redundant, just in the fourth wave, those true martial artists who had consumed too much real power finally did not hold on, and each team directly lost more than 2,000 to 3,000 corpses this time! In this instant, less than 20,000 people were left in the 50,000 army at this moment!
But it was only surviving, if most of the sergeants were tired and timid, then this time the defense of the city was a good result!
"General Niu, we've lost two-thirds of our men in this battle!" an adjutant reported to their top command.
"I can't imagine that such a small broken city can be so weird!" This veteran who is still strong is the supreme commander of the king's conquest of this free city. General Niu, one of the top ten generals of the kingdom!" I can't imagine that General Ben has been fighting for so many years. It's the first time I've suffered such a heavy defeat, but it's in such a place!"
"What should we do, old Niu?" asked a young general in military uniform no less than this Ox General.
General Niu impatiently glanced at the deputy commander who was only one rank lower than him but much younger, shook his head, and responded, "Withdraw the troops." Ask for help from His Majesty the King!"
Ye Feng saw the retreating enemy soldiers. His face finally relaxed slightly. It seems that these arrangements of his own have finally succeeded in blocking the attack of these tens of thousands of troops! However, Ye Feng also paid an extremely heavy price, arranging these formations, and in addition to the medicinal materials in his space ring. Except for a few extremely rare high-level magic cores, the other materials are completely sold out!
You must know that in the past, Ye Feng's space ring was completely a huge material warehouse, but now, his warehouse has been completely emptied! Therefore, Ye Feng also had to sigh, this war is really burning money!
After retreating, the 20,000 remnants of the local army stayed directly away from Liberty City for more than a hundred miles before they stopped, and set up camp there, it seems that they have not given up on the attack on Liberty City, but at least, they do not have the confidence to attack Liberty City again in a short period of time!
However, due to the financial resources and the shadow of the war that has not been completely eliminated, it is impossible for the Free City to completely renovate and rebuild, and it is only necessary to plug the cracks in the city walls, clean up the destroyed houses, treat the wounded, and resettle the families of the refugees and the dead.
Of course, it is impossible for Ye Feng and them to take these things together, not that they are unwilling, but that they can't win such power at all. But because of this, Ye Feng and the others were happy to relax for a while, and they could relax a little bit of the tension of the war not long ago.
But Ye Feng thought about it, are the two of them really so relaxed? For such a question, neither Ye Feng nor Yang Yanxiao dared to answer this.
On the second day after repelling the enemy, the party began to set up a celebration banquet, but what made Ye Feng a little strange was that he didn't even notify the two of them of this matter! That is to say, the biggest hero of this successful city defense battle was not invited to this celebration banquet! Even though Ye Feng didn't want to participate in this kind of banquet very much, the bit of cattiness that filled it made Ye Feng and Yang Yanxiao, who were very keen, understand a lot.
"Report to the elders, the party leader and deputy party leader are still staying in their official residence without the slightest movement!" a young subordinate reported to several old men.
"Oh?" said one of the patriarchs, in surprise, "these two are really calm!"
"If I did, I'm afraid I'd already be in trouble, wouldn't I?" exclaimed an old man who looked very rough.
"Elder Lei, who doesn't know your fiery temper, haha!" a group of people couldn't help laughing.
"But from this point of view, although these two boys are young, the city government is still not shallow!" another patriarch calmly analyzed.
"If the city government is shallow, it will not be possible to achieve such strength, right?"
"It seems that we do have to spend some brains!" Several elders couldn't help but nod their heads at this sentence, even if you have a city government, you are still only young people, how can you compete with their group of thoughtful old foxes?
"Bang bang bang!"
"Come in!" Hearing this familiar frequency of knocking, Ye Feng responded without hesitation.
As expected, as soon as the door opened, it was Yang Yanxiao who appeared at the door with a serious face.
"Crazy, it seems that those people really have different intentions!" Yang Yanxiao directly brought up his topic straight to the point.
Hearing this, Ye Feng was silent for a while, then thought for a while, and finally responded: "No matter how many conspiracies there are, we will never be able to resist absolute strength, and besides, we are not stupid, are we afraid of being calculated?"
Hearing Ye Feng's rhetorical question, remembering the bits and pieces since he met Ye Feng, the haze on Yang Yanxiao's face suddenly dissipated, as if they had really been calculated, but even so, didn't they still live well until now?
"I understand!" After saying this, Yang Yanxiao walked out of the door without looking back, and it seemed that he had gone back.
Ye Feng nodded, shook his head again, slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, and then fell into cultivation again.
On the third day after the battle to defend the city, Ye Feng stayed quietly in the room to cultivate, and there was another knock on the door.
"Please come in!"
This time it was a member of the party who came in, but Ye Feng hadn't met him a few times, so he wasn't very familiar with him.
"Party leader, I am the secretary of the Minister of Urban Construction, and here is a document that needs your signature!" he said and handed a document to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng was expressionless, took the document steadily, and slowly opened it and looked at it.
Although Ye Feng didn't have much real power, many things still needed to be approved by him in name, that is, he needed to sign them! Just like those puppet emperors in ancient times, although the edict was not his own will, this edict could still be issued in his name.
As for this urban construction department, Ye Feng is not too familiar with it, but he still roughly knows that this is a department responsible for this post-war repair, and there are indeed many places that he needs to sign and approve of.
Quickly skimming through this document that is not too much, Ye Feng nodded slightly, this document is mainly a plan for the restoration of the city defense and the addition of some facilities, in Ye Feng's opinion, everything in it is quite reasonable, and there is nothing missing.
But even so, Ye Feng did not choose to sign directly and decisively, but said to the member: "Call your minister to come here, I still don't understand something very clearly and need to ask him!" (To be continued......)
