Chapter 626: Deliberation

The result of this battle was greatly unexpected by Xiao Quan, originally Xiao Quan thought that he could easily take the east gate of Heisha City, after all, there were only 30,000 enemies inside, and he had to disperse to defend Heisha City, and his vanguard attack troops counted the cannon fodder troops, there were 40,000 or 50,000, but, as a result, this battle actually failed, and the casualties were so heavy. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The most infuriating thing is that the casualties are all his elite soldiers, but the cannon fodder troops do not have many casualties.

You must know that those lost elite Black Wind Thieves are the essence of the Black Wind Legion, especially those heavy infantry and quasi-martial artists, the Black Wind Thieves at the martial artist level are the elite of the elite, and now they are buried in large numbers under this small Black Sand City East City, Xiao Quan can imagine how the other people in Sand City will laugh at him after knowing about this matter.

Xiao Quan had suffered a loss under Stormwind City before, and now he led so many troops, and he actually suffered a big loss here in his old nest, Black Sand City, Xiao Quan really wanted to kill Lu Ming at this moment.

Xiao Quan's beating directly hit Lu Ming with a hundred leather whips, and at this time, he stopped.

If it weren't for Lu Ming, a general that Xiao Quan had always valued very much, this time he failed, Xiao Quan would definitely kill Lu Ming.

However, the death penalty can be forgiven, but the living crime is inevitable, and Xiao Quan punished Lu Ming with a hundred whips as a lesson.

After the hundred leather whips personally executed by Xiao Quan were over, Lu Ming ignored the injuries on his body, came to Xiao Quan and said: " The city lord is not incompetent, but the enemies in the city are too cunning, and the number of enemies is far more than the amount of information we got before, but inside the east city gate, there are no more than 15,000 elite soldiers, and they are all young and strong, and the armor on their bodies is also extremely sophisticated, and what is even more worrying is that these armies are definitely not ordinary armies, and their fighting will and combat effectiveness are outstanding before they are humiliated, I am afraid that these armies are the most elite armies of Chu State. ”

Speaking of which, perhaps because the injuries on his body are indeed not light, the corners of Lu Ming's mouth twitched a few times.

After Xiao Quan, who was at the top, saw it, he waved his right hand, and suddenly, a personal guard next to him came to Lu Ming's side and helped him treat the injuries on his body.

"Thank you, Lord City Lord!" Lu Ming thanked him first, and then continued: " The city lord, before the humble position, always thought that there were only four or five thousand men and horses in the east city gate, so, at the beginning, only sent less than five thousand people to attack the city, and the support men and horses behind were also set off in batches, and the practice of the humble position was just to reduce casualties as much as possible, but, unexpectedly, the number of enemies in the east city gate was not four or five thousand, but fourteen or five thousand, and our soldiers and horses fell directly into the trap, and every soldier had to face the siege of at least three or four people, not to mention that the enemy still had a strong city wall...... This, the defeat of this humble position, the humble position is responsible, but please report the huge mistake above, which is also a great reason!"

At this time, tears flowed directly from Lu Ming's eyes, and he even cried loudly in his mouth, this is Lu Ming's self-preservation strategy, wanting to use his soldiers to shed painful tears because of the heavy losses due to intelligence errors, to win Xiao Quan's compassion.

When Lu Ming began to cry, several Black Wind Thief leaders who were also lying on his stomach with scars all over his body also said: "Yes, yes, city lord, the number of enemies in the city is no more than 15,000 people, and the lowly rank has personally climbed the city wall, and all he saw were black human heads, and there were countless people carrying supplies behind him.

What's even more powerful is that the power of their archer troops is really too sharp, unlike our archer troops, which will pause for a period of time because of their strength, and the enemy's archer troops don't know if it's because of their inexhaustible strength, or because of some other reason, from the time we entered the range of the archers, the attack of the bow and arrow has been continuous, such a powerful archer unit, the inferior grade has never seen it before. Half of the men of the lowly rank died in these endless ranks of archers. ”

When they said this, they all showed a look of apprehension on their faces: "City Lord, the power of the archer troops on the city wall is really too fierce, and the arrows used are all heavy arrows, so even those heavy infantry wearing two layers of heavy armor are still shot through by their archer troops, and in the end, they are shot into hedgehogs one by one!"

Hearing these words, everyone in the big tent whispered to each other, with a look of surprise on their faces, and even Xiao Quan above asked with a puzzled expression: "Really, the enemy's archer troops on the city wall are really so powerful, and there are really fifteen or six thousand enemies in the city?"

Hearing Xiao Quan's words, he eased down, and Lu Ming and the other leaders of the Black Wind Thieves below all pointed to the heavens and the earth, swearing that what they said was true, and, in order to prove that what they said was indeed right, they also brought several corpses of heavy infantry.

"City Lord, please see, the corpses of these heavy infantry were brought back by us casually, but the number of bows and arrows in each of them was no less than five, and they were all heavy arrows!"

After speaking, Lu Ming endured the pain of the whiplash on his back, pulled out a few heavy arrows from the corpse of the heavy infantry, and handed them to Xiao Quan.

Xiao Quan took it, and after a closer look, it was indeed all heavy arrows, and he believed what Lu Ming said.

"Inheritance, Lu Ming's words are right, what's the matter with the intelligence you are responsible for?" Xiao Quan looked at his eldest son with a stern face and asked sharply.

"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

Xiao Chengji coughed, and said with a hint of unnaturalness on his face: "Father, I can't blame this matter, most of my men have been arranged to see the situation in Stormwind City behind me, and the number of people assigned to Black Sand City here is less than ten, and Black Sand City is now tightly sealed by the enemy, so it is very difficult for me to get the information I prepared." ”

Xiao Chengji had a helpless look on his face, he didn't want such an intelligence mistake, but his men were sent to monitor the situation in Stormwind City in the back, and now it was really difficult to find out the details of the situation in Black Sand City.

"It's ......... Xiao Quan, who was in the first place, was speechless, and he remembered that he had asked his son to send all the men to see Stormwind City behind, so that Stormwind City would not fight with each other after learning that Black Sand City was occupied by a mysterious enemy, and the fishermen would benefit.

"Forget it, this is my mistake, I don't blame you for this matter!" Xiao Quan is indeed very broad-minded, and directly admitted that this matter was his own mistake.

Then, Xiao Quan asked again: "Inheritance, do you think there are indeed so many enemies in the city now?"

Xiao Chengji lowered his head and thought for a while, and quickly replied: "Father, I thought that what Lord Lu Ming said just now was indeed the truth, and there must be no more than four or five thousand people on the city wall as we thought before, but fourteen or five thousand. According to the usual experience, if the number of enemies guarding the walls was only four or five thousand, they would not be able to exert even half the power they have now, and they would have to remove a lot of archers, so that they would have to go to half of their battleable army, so that where would there be such a fierce counterattack. More importantly, our soldiers have already climbed the city, according to common sense, once a large number of people climb the city wall, if the enemy side does not have enough back strength, the city will soon be broken, but they have enough strength to fight with our soldiers in hand-to-hand combat at the head of the city, at the same time, those archer troops have been maintaining output, it can be seen that the enemy on the city wall has sufficient troops, and there is no need to draw the archer troops for melee defense, if there are not enough troops on the city wall, those archer troops will never be able to maintain the output all the time!”

Xiao Chengji paused, the brow on his forehead furrowed, and said to Xiao Quan: "Father, I don't know if you remember the night when we captured that enemy before?"

"Didn't accept the night when I was captured before?!" Xiao Quan had a slight question in his heart, and his son asked what he was doing about this.

"Remember, what's wrong, is there anything wrong here?" Xiao Quan asked with a puzzled expression.

"Father, don't you think he's different?!"

"Different?"

"Yes, father, the night is not a dead soldier, the dead soldier after being captured, the first action to regain his mobility, is to commit suicide, and the night does not accept the determination of the dead soldier, many night do not collect the mouth is indeed very strict, but we can still get the information we want from his mouth, but, you look at the night when we were captured before, after he was captured, his face was so calm and calm, he didn't look like a prisoner at all.

In the end, when the time of the point was about to pass and the true qi in the body began to resume operation, this night did not even think about it, and directly resorted to a self-harm technique similar to the Blood Burning Dafa, and at the first time when the attack rose sharply, he did not choose to escape, but directly killed a few of our elite sentinels, and committed suicide. Father, have you ever seen such a night?" Xiao Chengji asked rhetorically.

"It's ......... Xiao Quan was speechless, and a solemn look appeared on his face for the first time.

Indeed, a small night is not afraid of death, and the rest ....... Thinking of this, Xiao Quan had a bad premonition in his heart, he had a hunch that this time the counterattack on Black Sand City would not be as easy as he imagined, perhaps, this time he would plant a fight......
