Chapter 62: Mingjin Withdraws His Troops
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two days passed like flowing water.
Early this morning, Ye Feng and the others stood on the city wall with a nervous face, and outside the city wall, there was a dark sea of people.
Looking at the dark crowd under the city, the solemnity on Ye Feng's face couldn't help but increase a little, this is really a big deal, 100,000 troops are just to take such a city! This is neither the capital of the kingdom, nor the economic and financial center, but in order to defend the face of the kingdom, they have to do this!
"Crazy, are we sure to hold on?" Yang Yanxiao suddenly asked Ye Feng.
"How did you do what I told you to do yesterday, if we can succeed, we will be sure to fight a victorious and protracted battle!" Ye Feng asked Yang Yanxiao with a mysterious expression.
"Don't worry, I have a master, how can I not succeed!" Yang Yanxiao was mentioned to Ye Feng's arrangement, which was a chest pat guarantee.
"That's good!" Hearing Yang Yanxiao's affirmation, Ye Feng's face finally relaxed a lot. "We are already sure of victory in this war!"
As soon as the words fell, a trumpet sounded outside the city.
"Attack, kill!"
Soon, the crowd of black oppressors was charging towards the fragile city wall.
"Three-two-one, put!"
At the command, a large number of arrows rained down on the swarming soldiers below the city.
As long arrows shot into their bodies, one soldier after another fell in pools of blood.
"Three-two-one. Put!"
As he spoke, another round of arrows diffracted away, and with this rain of arrows was the accumulation of a large number of corpses, and the blood suddenly stained the ground under his feet a bloody color.
But after all, the arrows were limited, and after a few rounds of strafing, the guards had to face the situation of running out of bullets.
Maybe it was because there were no arrows on the city wall, and the soldiers under the city became even more crazy and active!
As the group of soldiers approached the city wall, the cloud cart behind them also pushed over, and then there was the terrifying trebuchet!
With these trebuchets in place, the top command of the other side ordered the trebuchets to attack!
Above the city walls. Ye Feng smiled slightly. A strange mark immediately formed on his hands, and finally it was accompanied by a powerful soul fluctuation, but several earth-shattering explosions erupted outside the city walls!
"Boom!"
With a few clouds of smoke and dust, the dozens of catapults in the distance completely disappeared in an instant.
"This. This. What the hell is going on?" General Niu asked his group of men with an angry expression. "Why do all our catapults suddenly explode? Can any of you give me an explanation!"
"Back. Return, return to the general, I really don't know what's going on here!" The sergeant, who had eaten a dead child, knelt in front of General Niu and explained.
"I don't know?" the anger on General Niu's face was even more. "Then you just wait for the military court to deal with it!"
After saying that, he walked out of the tent angrily.
Although the trebuchet bar was destroyed by unknown reasons, this war still has to be fought, and it is impossible to stop because of this small accident, but because of this, they have one less tool to break through the city defense, and if they want to attack the city, they can only rely on forcibly hitting the city wall!
"Kill!"
The inside and outside of the city walls are still full of killing sounds, and the living lives are like meteors, completely showing the most brilliant brilliance of their lives here.
Maybe it's because the city defense army has expanded, so this time the defense is much easier than the last time, it used to be a person guarding a ladder, but now it is a group of people guarding a ladder, tired can also take turns, this time there is naturally no omission, the other party wants to climb the city wall, this difficulty is comparable to climbing to the sky!
Soon, a large number of corpses were piled up outside the city walls.
"Report, our army has lost nearly 10,000 people, but the city wall still hasn't been captured for half a minute!" a herald reported the latest news from the front to General Niu.
"What?" The Niu General's face was also iron-blue. "Impossible, the other party is only more than 10,000 people, how can it resist for so long?"
It's no wonder that this Niu general, after all, he didn't know that Ye Feng had already expanded the army, even if the recruits who had expanded were not very strong in combat because of their training, but the simple task of defending the city was still very easy to do!
Finally, without the cover of trebuchets, the difficulty of this siege battle suddenly increased to another level.
"Report, general, the losses of our army have reached more than 20,000 people!"
"What!" General Niu's face suddenly became less pretty. "So what's going on now?"
"Still, I didn't take it, the city walls. Seeing General Niu's face, the herald spoke a little hesitantly for a while.
When General Niu heard this, he threw the wine glass in his hand on the ground.
"Immediately Mingjin retreats!"
"Yes!"
Soon, a loud horn sounded on the battlefield.
This trumpet was accompanied by the retreat of the enemy army.
Looking at the enemy army retreating like a tide, most of the stones in Ye Feng's heart had fallen, and this battle seemed destined to be much easier than last time!
With the lesson of the last time, Ye Feng deeply realized the threat of the trebuchet to the city defense, so he sent Yang Yanxiao alone last night to secretly arrange several controllable explosive formations on the trebuchet, so at the beginning, the covering firepower on the opposite side was directly destroyed by Ye Feng!
Without the threat of this trebuchet, coupled with the increase in the number of manpower on the city wall several times, the efficiency of defending the city has naturally increased a lot! This point was actually not even estimated by Ye Feng himself, but all this happened like this, it was naturally excellent.
Seeing the enemy retreating, the soldiers on the city wall finally showed a rare smile, most of them were new recruits after all, and they had not yet gotten rid of their civilian status, so they were naturally not calm about such a victory.
Getting rid of the short-term joy, Ye Feng fell into deep thought again, this time the enemy army was only a temporary retreat, this time because Ye Feng and they handled it very well, resulting in a major mistake in the enemy's strategy, I am afraid that they will not be like this next time, even if the other party lost nearly 20,000 soldiers, but they also lost a lot of materials, in short, Ye Feng and they have nothing to be too happy about in this war!
"I didn't expect the enemy to be so vulnerable, and we have quite a lot of hope for defending Liberty City this time!" one of the senators shouted happily as he raised his glass to the others.
"Yes, but we're just a little curious about how the party leader managed to destroy the enemy's trebuchets!" a patriarch looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression.
"It's just a little trick, it's not worth mentioning!" In this regard, Ye Feng did not reveal half of the news, and he still maintained his sense of mystery about this group of people.
"Since the party leader is unwilling to say it, forget it!" Although a patriarch looked dissatisfied, he still didn't dare to say anything disrespectful to Ye Feng, after all, they knew how much Ye Feng was worth to them.
"I don't think you have to be too happy, this time the enemy army is retreating, but soon we are afraid that we will usher in a fierce attack by the enemy, this time it is just to make the opponent's strategy wrong, next time there should be no such thing!" Ye Feng said with a calm face.
However, for Ye Feng's words, this group of elders ignored them, it seems that the two consecutive victories have made them a little self-confident, I just hope they don't have any omissions because of this!
Enemy camp outside the city.
"General Niu, what should we do next?"
General Niu scratched his head, looked at several stone mountains in the distance, and suddenly an idea came to him!
"The whole army is temporarily resting, ask the craftsmen who accompany the army to come up with a stone wheel configuration that can break through the city wall, and build me more than a dozen such things in ten days, as long as the other party's city wall is broken, I think we can achieve the final victory in this war!"
??????
At night, Ye Feng sat quietly at his desk by himself again.
Looking at the map in front of him, Ye Feng was also thinking about something.
Suddenly, several giant stone mountains not far from the city suddenly attracted Ye Feng's attention.
"Not good!" As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Feng rushed out of the door in a hurry. (To be continued......)
