Chapter Ninety-Eight: Confrontation

At this time, on the city wall, there was still a man holding a halberd, it was Shen Yongnian.

Shen Yongnian did not make a direct move at this time, including many powerful powers, who were still in the barracks at this time and had not made a move.

The man's gaze passed through the Canglan River, reaching the other bank, colliding with a man holding a long sword, and I don't know if the other party noticed Shen Yongnian, in short, the two sides confronted each other like this, and no one took the lead. On the other side of the Canglan River, there is still a steady stream of warships coming ashore and crossing from the other half.

At this time, another man appeared beside Shen Yongnian without warning, the difference was that his eyes were looking at the battlefield.

The man who suddenly appeared was one of the two admirals, Xu Qingsheng.

"Lord General, at present, 200,000 troops have been dispatched, and nearly 10,000 have participated in the battle, and most of the enemy troops have been concentrated, do you want to use some weapons?" As he spoke, Xu Qingsheng smiled and pointed to the hundreds of tall machines behind the city wall—catapults. As mentioned before, although this thing does not do much harm to those monks, if it is against those ordinary soldiers, it is simply a nightmare. For them, a large boulder of several zhang fell from above the Heavenly Spirit Cover, and it was really powerless.

Of course, it is not just a large stone that can be used, but is usually poured with oil, lit by fire, and then thrown by catapults.

Shen Yongnian waved his hand and retracted his gaze to the battlefield, at this time, the entire Canglan River has become a battlefield for both sides, but fortunately, the battle line has not yet spread to the inside, and it can still maintain the initiative at this time.

And if you use an indiscriminate attack like a catapult now, it will also cause a certain amount of damage to your own soldiers to a large extent, so it is even more useless. The best time to use catapults is when the enemy army is deep into the hinterland and concentrates in large areas, and then cooperate with your own soldiers to use catapults to deal maximum damage to the enemy army.

But in the end, this is just a weapon after all, and for a war, what is really important is very clear.

The first confrontation lasted two hours, and most of the soldiers were exhausted, and of course, such a long battle also meant a lot of casualties.

At this time, the Canglan River is full of corpses, even on the surface of the Canglan River, countless back-soaked white corpses are floating on the water, ups and downs, and it is very terrifying!

In the first round of fighting, a total of 200,000 troops were dispatched, and 100,000 people participated in the battle, and at present, the number of dead and wounded is about 30%, which is quite reasonable. But in any case, this is also tens of thousands of lives, and it is gone.

Therefore, the so-called is piled up with life.

As long as there is war, there must be a certain sacrifice, and all the soldiers present are fully prepared for this, and the big deal is death!

Soon, the drums of retreat sounded. The strength of those family forces is like

At the same time, he withdrew his troops, stopped attacking, returned to the boats that were still parked on the shore, and slowly sailed to the other side, leaving a piece of red rippling on the surface of the river.

Xu Qingsheng stood on the city wall, clapped his hands and said, "What do you think of this battle...... How long is it going to take?"

Shen Yongnian thought for a moment: "It's hard to say, if you keep fighting in this form, it will be the worst result, and it will take the longest, it is estimated that it will be ...... A year and a half. ”

"Oh?" Xu Qingsheng wondered, "Could it be that you have a better strategy, General." ”

Shen Yongnian glanced at Xu Qingsheng and smiled disdainfully: "There is naturally a way, it depends on whether you dare or not!"

"Let's listen to it, I'm not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. Xu Qingsheng smiled a little embarrassedly.

Shen Yongnian was silent for a long time, and then slowly spoke: "In fact, this war is definitely not as simple as it seems, and it is really hard to determine what the situation will be in the future." I feel that in addition to the alliances of our various cities in Langya Prefecture and those so-called family forces, there should be some other hidden forces. And the strength of this force is by no means weak...... That's it, after all, it's just my personal conjecture. ”

"Moving on to the front, in fact, I don't think there is any need to be so troublesome in this war, in this way, what about you, gather all those who have strength, there are not many, those who have names on the list, those who have no names and strength are called, and then think about it a little, at most there are only a thousand people. As long as I take these 1,000 people and take advantage of the fact that those family forces are not paying attention, I will secretly cross the river to catch them off guard......! It won't be bad. ”

Hearing this, Xu Qingsheng couldn't help but gasp. smiled secretly: "Wouldn't this method be too ...... But I have to say that if this method is used, there will be almost nothing to do with those little soldiers. Also, this is really too dangerous, and now the strong opponent of the enemy army has not yet known, and a Gu Jing appeared today, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this Gu Jing turned out to be backwater, and I had a relationship with him before...... Don't look at me, am I like that?"

Shen Yongnian laughed and didn't say anything.

Xu Qingsheng looked at this somewhat unserious general, and couldn't help but roll his eyes and continued: "For the current situation, the strong opponents of the enemy army are nothing more than the Lin family, the Zhou family, the Murong family, the patriarch of the martial family, those old immortal things, plus the Gu Jing who appeared today, there are more than twenty people before and after. There are 100 people on the list, why are you here...... It should be that there are fifty or sixty people, and the rest are either wandering the rivers and lakes without knowing life or death, or they are on the other side. ”

As he spoke, Xu Qingsheng also pointed to the other side of the Canglan River.

"By the way, you Nine Heavens City Lord, when are you coming?" Xu Qingsheng suddenly asked coldly.

Shen Yongnian was also stunned for a moment: "You said that the city lord? Maybe in a few days, after taking care of the internal affairs of the Nine Heavens City, he will come over, right? What kind of eyes are you? Do you think I."

Is the city lord very idle? Impossible, why don't you say that the city lord is prosperous for ten miles today, and the reputation of the world is the credit of the city lord!"

Xu Qingsheng was stunned for a moment when Shen Yongnian said this, and then applauded with an incredible face: "I didn't expect the general to have such a side, but it's a pity, the great city lord you said is not here, he can't hear it." But I have to say that the general's fluent sycophant is really good, and I must ask for advice when I find a time in the future. In this way, maybe one day I can become a general? ”

Shen Yongnian's face was full of black lines, and he didn't want to pay attention to this serious-looking man anymore.

At this time, almost all the soldiers returned to the barracks.

Overall, it's okay, at least without the first engagement.

To have such an achievement is inseparable from the strong strength of Huang He, don't say anything, the two swords of Huang He before the war really greatly enhanced the momentum of our army, and first won the other party in terms of momentum. Including in the later battles, if it weren't for Huang He blocking Gu Jing and throwing Gu Jing on the battlefield with Gu Jing's strength, it would really be a wolf thrown into a pile of lambs. Of course, except for the Yellow Crane, every warrior on the battlefield has merit!

Among them, especially the phalanx where Ling Hu Lin is located, although the number of people is not large, there are only more than 300 people when it is full, but the strength of this person is terrifying.

I still remember that Yi Tai, who provoked Ling Hu Lin during the march before, although the strength shown on the battlefield was not as good as that of Ling Hu Lone, but it was definitely not weak among his peers.

At least he won't be sorry for his family background, and he has a name of not learning and not knowing.

Speaking of which, there is really such a gentleman who is also mixed in the phalanx, of course, he is persecuted. This is also unreasonable, as the future heir of the family, he is naturally one of the nobles of Nine Heavens City, according to the unwritten rules, if he does not go to the front line, then this family will say that there will be nothing on the surface, but it is not easy to say that this is secretly in secret. Fortunately, this eldest young master is very good at protecting himself, lying on the battlefield for two hours, and pretending to be a dead man for two hours.

After finishing it, he didn't forget to smear some blood on his armor, and in order to show that he was very desperate to kill the enemy, he even slashed a few times on his arm, which made people laugh and cry.

As for Ling Hulone, it was okay, he didn't deliberately show himself, but he didn't fish in troubled waters.

However, after this battle, Ling Hu Lonely learned a lesson, and there is really no room for carelessness on the battlefield. It was close to the end of the army, Ling Hu Lin shuttled through the battlefield with the dust, and the nearly two hours of war made Ling Hu Lin have begun to get used to it, but unexpectedly, a sleeve arrow flew out of the cuff of a dead man, fortunately, it was only rubbed with Ling Hu Lone's neck, otherwise he would really have to return to the west on the spot.

Even if I think about it now, I'm afraid, of course, what is the follow-up situation, Ling Hu Lin is naturally the one

The despicable and shameless villain is finished with a knife.

The so-called soldiers are not tired of deceit, it is not unreasonable, if Ling Hu Lonely really died so inexplicably, then there is really no place to complain.

Huang Xuan is naturally not bad, with a bit of arrogance, he is invincible. There's even some love war.

Back in the city, Ling Hu Lonely first found a place to start meditating, recuperating, although there were no serious injuries after this battle, but if he didn't adjust back in time, it would still have some impact on the body and future cultivation, so Hu Lonely didn't want to.

At this time on the battlefield, some people also went to clean up the mess, brought some dead bodies back to the city, and then handed them over to a special department for unified registration and disposal. If the corpses on the battlefield are not disposed of, then the plague is no joke. Judging from the experience of previous years, whenever there is a plague, the death toll must be in the tens of thousands!

For the families of those soldiers who died in battle, they will definitely give generous material compensation, and some will even take care of their families for the rest of their lives.

In the corner, a teenager quietly settled down.
