Chapter 588: The Barbarians Retreat
"You're going to die of this heart!
Yang Ji stood on his sword with both hands, looked down at the city condescendingly, and said coldly.
"Cangxu City is very big, with four gates, do you think you will always guard the city?"
Wu Daxian's body swelled to more than ten feet, like a giant standing in the corner of the wall and said coldly. A sharp arrow shot down from a battlement in the heights, and shot at him with a steely sound, not even a single hair was damaged.
"Hmph, if that's the case, you might as well try. I'll welcome you in the city, and I'll prepare four coffins for you!"
Yang Ji said coldly.
The pupils of the big pioneer contracted, and he looked at the flying giant bees in the sky, and vaguely guessed something. This is the most difficult opponent he has ever encountered, his martial arts are still secondary, and the key is still in that kind of scheming and mentality.
The four of them were not like this, but they were careless, and when he caught an insignificant flaw, they were damaged by a cadre and suffered the biggest serious injury in history!
At the head of the city, Yang Ji's poisonous bee colony cooperated with the armor soldiers of the Han Dynasty to harvest the barbarian warriors who rushed to the city like grass.
Yang Ji's eighteen sword qi was also pouring down, harvesting the barbarian warriors lying on the wall city like a waterfall. The battle was already very bad for them.
Unless they took action in person, it would be almost impossible for this city to be captured under the siege of that young town guard and thousands of great Han armor soldiers.
"Withdraw!"
Faced with heavy losses and unable to lead the team to attack the city, the Wuda vanguard finally had to give the order to retreat. The roar of a giant beast came from the depths of the primeval jungle in the distance, the sound was desolate and ancient.
In an instant, the barbarians who had been rushing to the city like a tide retreated like a tide again. Leave only a corpse in one place!
"Boom!"
A shocking cheer suddenly erupted in the Cangxu City, and all the soldiers near the north gate and the residents of the city who listened to the news let out a landslide cheer in unison.
"It worked!"
"Great! The town guard actually led everyone to fight them off, and we really escaped!"
"Great! Great!"
......
All those who survived the catastrophe congratulated each other. And behind the city gates. Nearly 2,000 heavily armed armored soldiers let out a long sigh of relief. Outside the sound of killing vibrates, and many times they heard the tremor of the city gates.
There were many times when they thought they were going to receive orders and were ready to rush out and fight to the death with the barbarians outside the city. But I didn't expect that, in the end. Yang Ji didn't send them out either.
When the barbarians outside the city retreated, a layer of cold sweat oozed into everyone's hearts.
The military discipline of the Han Dynasty was strict, and all the soldiers who entered the army had been trained for a long time and were of extremely high quality. No matter what kind of opponent you encounter, even if you know that there is a sea of swords and fire in front of you, you will definitely die, and you will never back down.
But not backing down doesn't mean you're really fearless about death. If you can survive in secret, who wants to die!
"Withdraw! Each gate is guarded by a hundred men, led by a captain, and the rest retreats to the city to organize patrols and rest. Other than that. Announce that the whole audience has entered a strategic state. β
Yang Ji stood at the head of the wall with his sword in both hands, watching the three vanguards retreat back to the depths of the primeval jungle with the remaining barbarian warriors before waving his hand and ordering.
"But my lord, what if the four vanguards deliberately retreat and wait until we leave before forcibly attacking the city? Forcibly open the gates, and now we are afraid that we will not be able to resist. There's no more Gang Gun now!"
Hu Tieyan took the lead to stop Yang Ji. Full of anxiety.
The "Gang Gun" is not only a sharp weapon of war, it can exert great destructive power in war, but also a heavy weapon for border cities to deter those top powerhouses.
The dense guns are shot together, even if it is a barbarian pioneer like the four pioneers, I am afraid that they will be shot into a hornet's nest, and they will have a great headache.
It's good to say before. But now, more than a thousand precious Gang guns were shot out, and they had already shot out all the reserves of Cangxu City.
The Cangxu City side even had to start shooting the iron spear!
In this vacuum of defense, if the four vanguards find a way to invade the city, open the city gates. That's really the destruction of the city.
Hearing Hu Tieyan's words, Yang Ji couldn't help frowning. That Wuda pioneer is far more difficult than "Gu Lu Hair". Although he retreated, he ordered the army to take all the spears with him.
The other party had three peak Eight Great Martial Sects sitting on the ground, and Yang Ji had no good way to do it, so he could only watch them escape.
- Just like the three pioneers can't rush to the top of the city, Yang Ji can't take the initiative to rush down the wall in this situation and fight against them!
"You don't have to worry about this!"
Yang Ji said lightly, just for a while, his frowning brows relaxed:
"They don't have the ability to kill a horseman. It's not a cheat, they don't have the ability to attack anymore. As for the remaining three major vanguards of the barbarians, hmph, if they want to come in, let them inββ pass the order, even if all the officials find them, they don't have to stop them. Whatever they want, they'll do it!"
"Ahh
Hu Tieyan was dumbfounded.
Yang Ji didn't say much, flicked his sleeves, and left the city wall. The remaining less than two hundred poisonous giant bees, along with two millstone-sized bees, had been released by Yang Ji and dispersed over the entire Cangxu City.
If the three pioneers think that if the bright ones don't work, they can come to the dark, and it would be a big mistake to succeed in the sneak attack. There are no secrets under the noses of the bee colony, even the primeval jungle with vines and well-developed trees cannot escape the ears and eyes of the two highly poisonous bees.
After the battle, it's time to count the losses!
The town guard mansion has been destroyed, and Yang Ji has taken the Purple Ruins Garden as his temporary residence. Just in the depths of the Purple Ruins Garden, the battle losses of both sides of this battle were all listed on Yang Ji's desk.
"In this battle, we lost more than 80 casualties, more than 150 seriously wounded, and more than 300 lightly wounded! However, the barbarians are only afraid of more. The Lord killed one of their Great Pioneers, and more than 2,000 others were killed in battle, and more than 1,000 were wounded!"
"It's a pity that the lives of the barbarians are too strong, and the same injuries that happened to them were far more minor than ours. Otherwise, more than 3,000 people were killed or injured in the four major vanguards of the barbarians, and the rest of the people are probably not as many as us!"
In front of Yang Ji, Hu Tieyan excitedly recounted in the audience that Zhang Qi, Li Yi, Zhou Tang and other captains and lieutenants, except for those on duty, patrolling, and stabilizing the people's hearts, almost all of the others were present.
"But we also lost more than 1,000 of all the guns that the imperial court had stored here. Most of the barbarians' mutual injuries this time were due to these spears. Without these weapons of destruction, it would be impossible for us to inflict such a heavy blow on them. β
"I'm afraid the next battle will be very difficult!"
On the side, Zhou Tang frowned and said.
The Gang Gun is easy not to use. Before Yang Ji took office, they strictly restricted the use of the gun and did not agree to Hu Tieyan's application for allocation, on the one hand, because of Zhang Qi's relationship.
But on the other hand, it is not because the "town artifact" is too precious, their greater role is to deter the enemy in the city.
It's too wasteful to shoot just the empty birds of the barbarian tribes who are scattered by the rangers!
Now that the "artifact" that deters the enemy is no longer there, Cangxu City has one less thing to deter the enemy in addition to the city walls.
Hearing Zhou Tang's words, the captains and captains in the hall were silent.
"One more thing!"
Li Yi, who had not spoken, suddenly raised his head, and his words immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"Although the four vanguards of the barbarians have suffered heavy losses, you have forgotten that in times of war, the four vanguards have the right to recruit the scattered tribes around them to join the army at any time. Although he only has less than 3,000 warriors left, how many tribes are in the primeval jungle? A random tribe can give them one or two thousand warriors!"
"If it goes on like this, I'm afraid it won't take a few days. The next time they attack the city again, we will only have another 6,000 or even more troops in front of us!"
Li Yi spoke, his eyes revealing deep thought.
"Buzz!"
One sentence shook the hearts of everyone in the hall, and even Yang Ji, sitting behind the desk, also showed a thoughtful look. The population of the barbarians is actually quite large, and it can be seen that the Han Dynasty can be regarded as a great enemy so solemnly.
It's just that the primeval jungle is vast and too vast. For humans, it's like a huge labyrinth without bounds.
Although the barbarians have a large population and many tribes, they are scattered inside, and they are not so obvious. Although humans don't know where these tribes are located, how can the four pioneers not know?
"That's really a problem!"
Yang Ji said with a frown.
If the three pioneers of the barbarians can't find it, it's okay, if they can, let him snowball. The next time they appear outside Cangxu City, it may not be six thousand, but nine, ten thousand, twelve, and twenty thousand barbarian warriors.
If this situation really happens, Yang Ji may have no choice but to surrender.
But the four pioneers are only taking the lead, which can be heard by the name. There are also the troops of the barbarian generals in the back. The more eye-catching he is, the more he will pay attention and his determination to pull out the "nail" of Cangxu City!
Today's brief tentative contact has made Yang Ji deeply understand what kind of existence the "barbarian general" is.
The four forwards can easily pull out six thousand men and horses, and if the barbarian general appears, Cangxu City may not be lucky.
"Why don't you write a letter to the Imperial Court? There is also a floating fleet guarding the frontier. If they are brought in, they will definitely be able to cut off this team......"
