Chapter 384: The Enemy's Tactics
The army of the Galaxy Empire finally began to storm the city wall, and at the same time, about two hundred martial spirit level masters had already jumped onto the city wall.
The archers here have been practicing archery all year round, and although their cultivation has also reached the realm of the Martial King, they still have no power to fight back when they encounter these elite soldiers of the Galaxy Empire. The opponent's cultivation is higher than his own, and he is a warrior who mainly fights in close combat. In just a few moments, more than 300 shooters died under the opponent's sword.
Although Ye Qing didn't want to help this Lan Yan, as the war king of the Holy Fire Empire, he naturally wouldn't ignore it. It was completely because the appearance of the other party was too weird, and the speed at which the masters gathered far exceeded Ye Qing's expectations. In addition, Ye Qing was far away from those shooters.
However, Ye Qing's reaction was definitely the fastest, and when Lan Yan and the others were still surprised, they had already turned into afterimages and killed those soldiers of the Star River Empire.
It was Xiao Yi on the shoulder who killed with Ye Qing, and without Ye Qing's command, the little guy came to the side of a martial spirit-level local warrior in one jump. Then, with a flick of its small claws, a head rolled down. The warrior's face still maintained an expression of excitement. It can be seen that these guys are all murderous, so they will be sent out to carry out this kind of mortal mission.
These Galactic Empire warriors were destined to die on the walls, and their aim was to kill as many threatening archers and those giant crossbow arrows as possible on the walls. As for how far they can do it, it depends on their luck and the reaction of the opponent's masters.
Under normal circumstances, the appearance of more than 200 fighters would definitely bring a devastating blow to the defending side. The army of the Galaxy Empire behind is already rushing over at the fastest speed, and there is absolutely no shortage of powerful masters in the army. The five thousand python army alone was able to suppress the resistance on the city walls.
But it's a pity that this time Yeluguang met an opponent. A person he never put in his eyes, that is Ye Qing.
Although Ye Qing is the king of war, he only broke through Yunlun City not long ago. However, in Yeluguang's eyes, the defense of Yunlun City was not qualified at all, and it was normal for it to be breached.
Yeluguang naturally knew that the war king was in Xinyuan City, but he only looked at the layout on the city wall and knew that the other party was a person who didn't know how to fight. If Yeluguang defended by himself, he would definitely go outside the city to meet the enemy when the strength of the two sides was not much different, and then make all kinds of ambushes and arrangements.
Because Xinyuan City is not a fortified city, the height of the city wall is only fifty meters, which is equivalent to no defense for the soldiers under his command. Moreover, there are no dangerous places around Xinyuan City, and there are many options for the attacking side.
At this time, Yeluguang was in the middle and rear of the army, and one of the lieutenants was sitting beside him.
"Marshal, it seems that we will be able to take this city today. The other party is a layman at all. ”
Yeluguang touched his neat beard, looked into the distance with wise eyes, and then said, "Lan Yan is a killer, not a person who fights at all. Moreover, the defender in Xinyuan City is also a mediocre talent, and our goal is not here. ”
The deputy nodded and smiled: "The marshal is very right, and that guy who is a war king is nothing more than that." Simply vulnerable in front of the marshal. ”
Ye Luguang thought for a moment and said, "It's too early to say that, I know Lan Yan very well. He is a stubborn man, and he may not believe in the abilities of that war king. Now the defense should be that he is in command. ”
"The marshal is really clever, I think the commander of the war king himself can't stop the marshal's army. ”
"I've already studied the battle in Yunlun City, and if the news reported is true, this person is very difficult to entangle. Definitely a military genius. ”
Hearing Ye Luguang's comment, the deputy nodded suddenly, revealing a thoughtful expression.
On the city wall, Ye Qing's appearance greatly hindered the slaughter of the place, and the enemy of this level could not withstand Ye Qing's blow at all, coupled with the addition of Xiao Yi, these guys were quickly killed. Of course, Lan Yan and Blue Snow Princess are also involved.
"Archers return to their positions, activate the crossbow arrows!"
After Lan Yan dealt with the enemies on the city wall, he immediately ordered the next defensive action.
The crossbow bolts themselves were ready, and the archers had enough reserves.
In just a few moments, the rain of arrows from the archers came again. And the more than 20 crossbow arrows on the city wall also began to wield power.
Originally, there were nearly fifty crossbow arrows, but after being destroyed by the previous enemies, only more than twenty were usable. However, in a hurry, the enemy did not completely damage the giant crossbows, but only made them temporarily unusable. With a simple repair, it can be put on the battlefield.
"Someone, push the damaged ballista down and repair it urgently. ”
Lan Yan gave the order again.
In the army of the Galaxy Empire, Yeluguang saw a scene on the city wall, and then sighed slightly.
"The other side reacted quickly, and probably saw our intentions beforehand. Marshal Zhao, I'm afraid your plan is going to change. ”
Yeluguang said to the lieutenant general beside him.
This deputy general is the deputy general who was discussed with Ye Luguang just now, and he is one of the two deputy marshals under Ye Luguang, a sixth-level cultivator of the Martial Saint. Change to any empire to lead a large army and become the supreme commander. But he didn't want to do that, because he was impressed by Jerolight's fighting art. He was willing to be a deputy under Yeluguang and fight with Yeluguang.
This lieutenant's name is Zhao Zihai, and he is only in his early forties. For a martial saint with a lifespan of fifteen hundred years, forty years is too young. Definitely a man with a bright future.
Yeluguang also has a sixth-level martial saint lieutenant under him, called Qi Ye. Now he is leading the army to attack. That's a super fierce general, and not only because of his high cultivation. The main reason is that this person likes to roar when he kills, and often a loud roar can shock some enemies with low cultivation to death.
"The order was given to withdraw troops, and we cannot afford to let the soldiers lose in a place where there is no point. ”
Yeluguang made a decision immediately and directly issued the order to withdraw the troops.
The rear army of the Galaxy Empire suddenly sounded a special order, which meant to withdraw the troops, and it spread throughout the entire battlefield in an instant.
Yeluguang has always led the army to be disciplined, and the order sounded here. The warriors in front immediately receded like a tidal wave.
Lan Yan on the city wall was extremely excited when he saw the local withdrawal.
"The whole army listened to my orders and went out with me. Cripple those guys completely. ”
After saying that, he jumped off the city wall first, and took out two short swords out of nowhere. Rush towards the retreating Galactic Empire army at breakneck speed. Behind Lan Yan were hundreds of masters of Xinyuan City.
The gates of Xinyuan City were also quickly opened, and groups of defenders shouted and killed.
Ye Qing on the city wall suddenly frowned.
"The retreat was well organized, and there was no collapse at all. Rushing out like this is in the middle of the place, and I am afraid that I will suffer a big loss. ”
Lan Xue also saw the mystery in it, and said: "I can't imagine that this Lan Yan is so rash, how could my father let him guard Xinyuan City? ”
"He wanted to show me his command skills with a victory. ”
Ye Qing shook his head and said.
"What are we going to do?"
"What else can I do? I can't die without help, let's immediately prepare for battle. ”
