Chapter Seventy-Four: Picking Up the Cheap

This sudden incident suddenly increased the morale of the East China Sea Coalition Army in the barrier defense line, and it can be described by numbers that after the failure of the siege a few days ago, the morale was already close to single digits, if it wasn't for the fact that his hometown was thousands of miles away, he was in a different place at this time, and there was no way to escape, and I believe that this army would have collapsed directly.

When the crow ghost strategy exchanged food for them to eat, their morale rose to twenty or thirty.

And now witnessing the return of the reinforcements in a great victory, this morale has suddenly risen to sixty!!

This giant ship was only the first to start, and the next day, three more giant ships returned along the way.

On the third day, the C-zone returned to the small number of centaurs released out, at least more than 50,000 people. It is worth mentioning that among the generals who returned at this time, the strongest is Bo Ni Guo Gangbo, he can be said to have won many battles this time, it is simply overwhelming, he and the troops under his command are completely in the highest state.

At this time, Gangbo summoned the crow ghost strategy, and after hearing that he had roughly finished the current situation, he was naturally surprised, but he didn't expect that the barrier defense line that was dominant on the surface was beaten so miserably. The crow ghost could only sigh and tell all the circumstances.

After Gangbo listened to the words of the crow ghost strategy, he held his chin for a while, and said thoughtfully:

"So, should Wu Zuocheng still be in a state of plague now?"

The Raven Ghost thought for a moment and said:

"It's supposed to be the end. ”

Gangbo said seriously:

"This matter cannot be overlooked, can the priest who performed the spell that day be there?"

Gangbo's request was naturally quickly satisfied, and the priest of the plague god who cast the spell also came, but this was an old man who had lived at least a hundred years old, so he had a lot of experience, and at the same time answered Gangbo's question very accurately:

"Although the other party also tried to use evil magic to counteract, there should be at least 10,000 people in Wu Zuocheng infected with the plague, and the number of infected beasts may be less. At least 6,000 heads, although the intensity of this plague cannot be fatal, but it will be severe in the wounded stomach, can only be slowly recuperated, drinking water, porridge, so although the infected people have entered the recovery stage, most of them are weak in their hands and feet, and they can barely walk. ”

Hearing the Plague God Priest's answer, Gangbo nodded in satisfaction.

Of course. He didn't know that at this moment, he had been misled: the judgment of the divine officer of the plague god was quite different from the actual situation in Wu Zuocheng!

However, this can't be blamed on this priest, just because his experience was obtained during the conquest of the East China Sea countries, can those cities in the East China Sea countries be compared with Wu Zuocheng? After all, Wu Zuocheng is a city built by Lin Fengjin in combination with the experience of the previous life, and its planning process cannot be compared with the cities formed by large inhabitants in the East China Sea countries, not to mention that Wu Zuocheng also has a developed drainage system.

Under Lin Fengjin's strict order, all the vomit and excrement of the sick person were produced and washed into the sea within half an hour.

At the same time, the water source is closely protected to minimize the source of infection.

What's more, Lin Fengjin also prepared medicinal materials for a long time, provided them to the military and civilians for free, and forced them to drink them every day, which made many infected people who were physically strong and were suppressed directly at the beginning of the illness. And the countries of the East China Sea are so poor that they can't even afford to eat. Where are the resources to give all residents free and compulsory medicine?

So you can't blame this priest for pitting teammates, it's really because of the asymmetry of intelligence.

Gangbo said again:

"So, His Highness Eternal Bird did lead a large army into Wu Zuocheng before, and then he used his body to cultivate the plague mother worm?"

Crow Ghost Strategy:

"Of course. ”

Gangbo said again:

"You also performed the secret technique of the night walk of the hundred ghosts, and this secret technique has been covered for seven or eight days?"

Raven Ghost nodded.

Gangbo pondered for a while and said:

"Can Lord Crow Ghost Swear to the gods and prove that what he just said is not a lie?"

The Raven Ghost Ce immediately jumped up. His face flushed and he said:

"Does Lord Gangbo want to question the character of the subordinates?, or do you think that the lower officials already have the intention of rebellion??! will lie about these things, with all due respect, these words of the lower officials can be verified from any soldier. If there is a slight difference, then I am willing to be banished by adults into the Cockroach Mountain. ”

Well, banishment into the Cockroach Mountains is a proverb from the countries of the East China Sea, similar to a man swearing that he will be slashed by a thousand knives. After Gangbo listened to the words of the crow ghost policy, he also said strictly:

"Lord Crow Ghost Ce, please be calm for a while, because this involves the life and death of my subordinate sons and daughters!"

The crow ghost was stunned and said:

"What do you mean?"

Gangbo's eyes shone with the light of ambition, and he said seriously:

"Our department has returned from a new victory, morale is booming, and along the way are not worried about supplies, when I take the ship, I am full of food and recuperation, and at the same time, when I attacked Zhongyuan County, I opened a lot of arsenals, and even the equipment on my body has been replaced, so whether it is fighting spirit or body, it has tended to be in the best condition. ”

"On the other hand, the enemy has just experienced a large-scale plague, and his body is weak and has not yet recovered, and at the same time, he has been attacked by the forbidden technique of the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, and he is extremely frightened mentally, and he was also broken by His Highness Yongtori once, no matter what, it must have a destructive effect on the city's defense. ”

"Therefore, at this time, I think that this is the best time to storm this fortified city! The enemy is unprecedentedly weak, and it is estimated that this opportunity may not be given to us in the future, and our army is in full swing!

Of course, Gangbo still has hidden words that have not been said, that is, once Wu Zuocheng conquers it alone under his men, it will certainly be inconvenient for the rest of the people to intervene and get a piece of the pie.

Needless to say, the captured booty in Wu Zuocheng is a huge wealth just by occupying the unique position of Wu Zuocheng.

The wide fjord next to Wu Zuocheng is eye-catching, and compared to here, the bay in the cave bay is completely like a small pond. In words that are easy for everyone to understand, the port of Cave Bay is geographically restricted, and the daily throughput of goods is 20,000 tons, but Wu Zuocheng can reach 200,000 tons!

Secondly, the allied forces of the countries were helpless in the face of a fortified city like Wu Zuocheng, but at this time, they were conquered by themselves in one fell swoop. Seeing that the defenders of the Central Plains are so weak, as soon as this reputation comes out, it is not impossible for him to establish himself as a king even if he divides the country and establishes himself as the king in the future!

A scheming person like Crow Ghost Ce, of course, sees Gangbo's intentions very thoroughly. However, he always had a feeling that the reasons that came out of Gangbo's mouth seemed to be the truth, and he also recognized that there were indeed no superficial flaws in them, but the crow ghost always felt that something was wrong!

But. Just when the crow ghost was about to talk about the doubts in his heart, the henchman Duo Jianmu next to him touched him, and took the lead in saying to Gangbo with surprise on his face:

"Your Excellency is really discerning! Such a fleeting fighter plane can only be grasped by a famous general like your adult, and we will definitely fully cooperate with your lord's actions, I don't know what your lordship commands?"

Gangbozhi smiled proudly, and said with a smile:

"For now, there is no difficulty, but the construction of siege equipment is still understaffed."

This is obviously a small insult to regard the Raven Ghost Strategy as his subordinate of the baggage auxiliary barracks, but Tajiki still agrees with a smile. Sent Gangbo out, and when he came back, there was a cold light in his eyes, and he said to the crow ghost:

"My lord, Gangbo is going to gnaw on this hard bone. Just let him go, if you stop him, people may not be able to accept your affection, just see him let us do chores. I know what this guy thinks of us in his bones. ”

The muscles on Crow Ghost Ce's face twitched a few times, as if he had violated the concept in his heart, and it was difficult to choose.

Duojian Mu said angrily:

"Your Excellency. You have worked hard to maintain it here, and you have managed it dismally, so to speak, it can be said that you have worked hard to get to the current situation. But the people outside don't understand how difficult the thieves inside this Wu Zuocheng are, they only know how to mock and sarcastically attack on the side, how do they know that if someone else presides over this defense line, maybe this defense line will be flattened a long time ago! We eat bran here, and they make a lot of money outside! In the end, they will be humiliated, and there is such an unfair thing in the world?"

"Gangbo is willing to go to Wu Zuocheng to touch the nails, then let him touch the best, with his experience of hitting the head and bleeding, it is estimated that no one will talk to us, and let them know our suffering! What's more, now the military reports from various war zones have been transmitted, but our Sunrise Country has some wars in the south, and it seems that a place called Shangmao has suffered a big loss, and it seems that the red-toothed ghost Lord is shattered there, and Lord Onimu Qing has also been hit hard In this case, my lord, Gangbo is a person from the Bo Ni Country after all. ”

After listening to Duo Jianmu's words, the eyes of the crow ghost suddenly narrowed, revealing a trace of pain:

"The news I just got is that Onimu Qing is also dead, and it's okay if the madman of the red-toothed ghost is dead, but Onimu Qing died to save him! You go to their side and walk around as much as you can, so that you don't end up with excuses for us when they lose. ”

Tamaki listened to the words of the crow ghost, his eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply and ran out.

Three hours later, Gangbo picked up 47,000 elite soldiers and strong generals in his headquarters and brazenly waved his army to attack the city.

At this time, the crow ghost ce led his cronies, and routinely climbed the lookout in the middle of the fortress defense line, overlooking the battle situation from afar.

As soon as Zhong Yasufu saw the movement of the Bo Ni Army, he couldn't help but lose his voice and said:

"Is Gangbo's attack the idea of breaking the city with one blow?

The "Cane Chopping Army" is the most elite unit under the command of Gangbo, and the military flag is also very strange, and the pattern painted is a knife cut on the wood.

The reason why this army has such a strange name is because the main food crop of the Boni country where Gangbo is located is a crop called rice cane, which looks like sugar cane, but is eaten by cutting it down, peeling it, and then cutting it into small pieces and grinding it into powder to eat.

The position of rice cane flour in the food industry in the Boni country is similar to the position that flour occupies in the diet of the north.

And after the rice cane grows and matures. The outer skin is very hard, and in order not to waste it, it must be cut as flat as possible, so it is both physical and technical work.

And rice cane can grow all year round, there will be no situation like August and September concentrated rice harvest in autumn, but all over the country may need people to cut this rice cane all year round, which derives a very professional "cane cutter", thus forming an industry.

As you can imagine, these "cane cutters" are armed with knives all year round. And to cut hard rice cane, strength and skill are indispensable, so cutting people is also extraordinarily quick.

Naturally, the generals above also noticed this, and then simply put together all the soldiers who had relevant experience in the industry (cutting rice and cane) and used them as the elite of their own subordinates, and sure enough, they played a prestige and made a reputation.

Therefore, not to mention the Boni country itself, even the rest of the East China Sea countries, as long as they heard that there was a "cane cutting army" on the opposite side when they were fighting. is also strictly guarded and cautious, so even Yasuo Nakasu of the Land of the Rising Sun is like a treasure to them, and he can see it at a glance.

And then. I saw a large group of auxiliaries carrying cloud ladders to take the lead, and the "cane cutting army" was mixed in the second echelon, swarming and rushing up.

This time, Lin Fengjin didn't dare to hold it up. Naturally, all the strength of Wu Zuocheng was displayed, and after fighting for so long, although the number of Shenwu crossbows had dropped by nearly one-third. However, the skills and proficiency of the people who control the Shenwu crossbow are also incomparable, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved.

Under the dense array of Shenwu crossbow arrows, the elites who wanted to get close fell down one after another, and there were even some who were pierced by a single arrow, but the elite is the elite, whether it is the will to fight and the fighting skills are definitely much stronger than ordinary soldiers, and the speed of advancement is not slow at all!

It's just that Wu Zuocheng's long-range firepower attack is also divided into two aspects, on the one hand, it belongs to the Shenwu crossbow, catapult and other ultra-long-range strike war weapons, and at close range, Wu Zuocheng's frontal city wall can also be placed on the whole 1,500 archers, and there are nearly 300 crossbow embarrasses in the hollow city wall fortress, and these fortresses are equipped with 900 crossbow bows, and each shooter is specially assigned to two loaders, so as to maintain the continuity of crossbow shooting as much as possible.

Therefore, when the elite soldiers of the Boni Kingdom entered the range of the bows and crossbows on the city wall, all of a sudden ten thousand arrows were fired!!

It can be clearly seen that the front rows of people in the front of this elite soldier who bravely stepped forward suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall, and at the same time bounced back and fell to the ground one after another.

The people behind didn't seem to know what was going on, and continued to sprint on their bodies, rushing out five or six meters, and then crashing head-on into a new round of arrows, repeating the same mistakes

The funniest thing is that he is a warrior in armor, this guy is lucky, he can actually bury his head and rush all the way to the bottom of the city wall, but he can only be stunned by the towering city wall, and finally has to turn back and look for the ladder that was abandoned behind

At this time, more than 20 red flags pulled out their long knives and charged up, although the walls of Wu Zuocheng were high, they couldn't stop these guys with unconventional combat power and excellent abilities, they roared angrily, and quickly rushed to the head of the city.

However, at this time, Lin Fengjin ordered the activation of the second line of defense buried under Wu Zuocheng.

The black oil bubbled into the trench, and then quickly filled it, converging in it, and then the earth sigil next to it was forcibly invalidated. On this earth-shattering battlefield, no soldier would notice such a change under his feet.

Then, needless to say, a wall of fire as high as two or three feet high lay across the battlefield, cutting the battlefield in half, and when the wall of fire was extinguished, the poor twenty or so red flags and the five or six hundred elite corpses under the city wall were almost cold!!

Witnessing this tragedy, Gangbo's eyes were dark, almost a mouthful of old blood did not spurt out, just rushed up more than 20 red flags, one is his own nephew, for a time he was furious and roared wildly, ordered the whole army to assault and continue to attack the city, his eyes were red, he held a long knife, and personally stood in the rear to supervise the battle. As long as someone retreats, it will be immediately slashed over!

In front of the swarming sea of soldiers, Wu Zuocheng's side is as cold and mechanical as a war machine, everyone seems to be a screw on the machine, all the archers shoot three arrows, and then retreat, withdraw, naturally someone fills the vacancy, the crossbow archer is also shooting mechanically, shooting a crossbow machine and throwing it back. Naturally, someone slapped the properly loaded crossbow machine on his hand.

At this time, Gangbo's army was like a raging and roaring wave, surging towards Wu Zuocheng wave by wave, but Wu Zuocheng was like a standing reef, no matter how the waves hit, it would be broken on the reef in vain!!

Gangbo's army realized at this time that they did not lack courage or martial arts, and what they lacked most was the siege equipment, which could not be blamed on them. Siege equipment requires a lot of wood, and in the vast grassland, where to find a lot of wood, unless it is a shipbreak! It can also be transported by ship over long distances, but at this time, almost all the ships of the East China Sea Coalition are used to transport plundered gold and silver treasures, grain and grass. Who the fuck is stupid to transport those worthless pieces of wood that can't be eaten, watched or played!

The battle lasted for another half an hour, and Lin Fengjin suddenly said:

"Almost. ”

Lin Fengjin said this sentence with two meanings, the first meaning is that the body of the soldiers who went into battle is almost depleted. After all, bending the bow and arrows or something is also a very exhausting thing, and if it continues, then there will be a phenomenon of overwork.

Second, Lin Fengjin's purpose was not to kill all the people of the Bo Ni Country-what are you kidding, in the land of Wu Zuocheng's projectiles, even if he can kill the people of the Bo Ni Country and the people of the East China Sea Alliance? Therefore, from the beginning to the end, he is just showing a deterrent effect, that is, if you come to fight me, you must be prepared for heavy casualties!

At this time, the casualties of the Bo Ni Kingdom are already heavy enough, which is just right, because this kind of casualty at this time is on the verge of breaking the muscles and bones for the entire Bo Ni Country, which is enough to present a good negative example, if you kill too much, in case the generals of the Bo Ni Kingdom lose control psychologically, claiming to pay for the blood debts of their subordinates, although Lin Fengjin is not afraid, such a result is not what he wants, it is completely more than worth the loss.

After Lin Fengjin spoke, although the attack density at the head of the city remained unchanged, the situation on the battlefield also changed suddenly, the piercing sound of gold suddenly sounded, the gate of Wu Zuocheng actually opened in an instant, and it was more than thirty heavy armored cavalry who rushed out, only the eyes and nose showed a hole the size of a soybean, and a bloody wind rolled up in the sea of people under the city, killing several bloody roads!!

Immediately afterwards, a large group of elite sword and shield soldiers shouted to kill the general, like a torrent flooding the position under the city, the army that had hit the current Bo Ni country lacked siege equipment, and now even the only remaining siege equipment was served in one pot. Needless to say, no matter how strong the soldier's will to fight is, he has no confidence in such a situation, and his first reaction is to throw the weapon in his hand, turn around and run away.

Seeing that the army was defeated like a mountain, Gangbo, who had completely lost his mind, was even more angry, shouting with red eyes and raising his knife to slash, Lin Fengjin was in the hidden fortress on the city wall at this time, looking at Gangbo with disdain, and the powerful Shenwu heavy crossbow had already been transported here.

Lin Fengjin boarded the Shenwu Heavy Crossbow, closed one eye, and began to aim at Gangbo, and said softly in his mouth:

"If you can die under this cannon worth fifteen thousand taels of silver, you can also be blinded under the nine springs!"

After speaking, Lin Fengjin pulled the trigger, and at this moment, it seemed that a mysterious laughter sounded in the entire fortress! ! (To be continued......)
