Chapter 25: Crisis III

After Bai Tingyue heard the report of his subordinates on the materials that had been confiscated from the town's outpost, he looked at the telescope in his hand, smiled bitterly, and said: "The other party is really good at things, this kind of thing, although it is inconspicuous, but, with it, in terms of finding the enemy, it is really a beautiful thing." You can get this thing from a spy, and there must be a lot of it in the hands of the other party. Now even if the other party doesn't know our detailed location, but the approximate location has always been under control, the reason why they don't do it now is that they are afraid that their firearms can't move casually, so there is no excessive movement, just send out a large number of spies to look for traces of our army. ”

"My lord, what should we do then?" asked Wang Ling.

"Although Your Majesty's goal is to capture the town, according to the past, there is no problem, just a small town, but, to be honest, even if we have 30,000 hidden killing troops, if it is not a surprise attack, in the face of a town that can withstand the tide of beasts, I don't feel that there is any chance of victory, even if the other party has just completed the reconstruction. Bai Tingyue said.

"Then in this case, let's not look for the other party's flaws and kill them with one blow, after all, the 30,000 hidden killing army already has an advantage in the face of the town. Why don't you just launch a surprise attack today. A long delay means many hitches. Wang Ling said.

"Well, if you take 10,000 people to a surprise attack, 10,000 people will stay here, and Wang Ning will guard you and respond to the royal tomb in case of accidents. The remaining 10,000 people continue to detour with me, looking for opportunities. Bai Tingyue said.

"Yes. Wang Ling said. Then a masked man appeared, also gave the order, and left.

Merlin came to the city gate and said, "Today we must adjust all the artillery, but to guard against the invasion of the imperial army at any time, we must also do a good job of hand-to-hand combat. Therefore, in addition to artillery, cold weapons are also prepared, and everything is done according to the previous training. ”

"Yes"

To a certain extent, there is not much use for tactics, after all, with generals with enough experience in marching, many things can be launched, after all, whether it is good timing, opportunity, there are so many, who doesn't know who is right. The people who really decide these things are, after all, the morale, combat effectiveness, and adaptability of the soldiers.

At least until the artillery closes the blind spots, there will be no slackening of guards. However, according to the scale of the opponent's actions, it is estimated that there will be around 30,000, and it is still more or less difficult to resist this person who wants to guard against the opponent's sudden attack.

Merlin, who was on patrol, suddenly heard the sentry in charge of the observation and suddenly shouted loudly: "Enemy attack!"

Then, a large number of rockets, as well as arrows with gunpowder, were fired at the city wall in unison, igniting the gunpowder placed on the city wall, and the explosion of the arrows with gunpowder blew up the soldiers on the city wall, and then a loud battle broke out outside the city.

The entire team in the city became chaotic, and Merlin immediately made a decision and said loudly: "Everyone leave the city wall and bring the city to prepare for sniping." ”

Hearing Merlin's order, everyone was almost stunned, not expecting that the most important line of defense in the town would be abandoned like this, but then all the people who could move left here with the wounded warriors around them, and ran under the city wall, ready to open the second line of defense.

Seeing that the people in the town actually withdrew from the city wall without hesitation, Wang Ling, who was in charge of the attack, frowned slightly, raised his hand, stopped his subordinates from continuing to launch rockets, and immediately arranged for people to capture the city wall.

At the same time, the battle report was sent to Bai Tingyue, Bai Tingyue sighed slightly, and said: "It's really a lot of talent, just an unknown person, and he can make a decision at this time." ”

The walls were taken down without much effort. However, Huo Meilin did not panic, and when the imperial army occupied the city wall, a new line of defense was established, but after all, it was only a temporary line of defense, and how long it could resist was completely unknown.

"How long will it take for the third line of defense to be activated?" Merlin asked.

"For about three hours, mainly the supplies were on the city walls, so we needed to go to the warehouse to transport them. The Guardian said.

Merlin nodded and said loudly to the soldiers, "Hold out for three hours, and we will be able to retreat!"

"Oh!!"

The first line of defense is dominated by artillery, so even if it is occupied, the opponent will not use artillery and will not use it for the opponent, but the second line of defense is not bulky artillery, but mainly heavy crossbows fired in bursts, and arrows with gunpowder are not weaker than artillery.

Therefore, after successfully occupying the first line of defense and preparing to rush into a blow, the royal tomb was blocked here. A difficult offensive and defensive battle appeared, even if Wang Ning's 10,000 were supported, they still carried it down, even if it fell, the heavy crossbows on it had been destroyed, although there were these wreckage, and they could be sent to Tianji Mansion to make the same high-rate heavy crossbows and high-powered gunpowder arrows, but at this time, it did not improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and the other party's losses were not big at all, but the obstacles here were cleared, and it was convenient to retreat quickly.

The third line of defense is the new firearm prepared by Kalian, which is different from artillery, not as bulky as artillery, but less powerful than artillery, if anything, it is a large firearm. With the continuous heavy crossbows, even the most elite hidden killer troops of the empire were killed, and some were defeated. Just when Merlin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to fight back, an army suddenly came out from behind, which Bai Tingyue personally led the team to kill.

In an instant, the town's army was slaughtered and crushed. Even if they have excellent equipment and training, after all, they are a young army that has not been in the army for less than a year, and there is no way to deal flexibly with sudden changes, and the opponent they are facing is a well-known hidden army in the army, and it is quite good that Merlin can lead them without being defeated.

Bai Tingyue's army penetrated the town in an instant, and Charlotte and the others did not react, and they were passed through without even pretending to be a warning message. It wasn't until Hawthorn's army was inflicted heavy damage that the sirens sounded for martial law throughout the city.

Bai Tingyue completely grasped the weakness of the town at this time, the troops were insufficient, and the artillery and heavy crossbows were inconvenient to adjust, especially after Wang Ling occupied the city wall, after seeing that the artillery told Bai Tingyue about this thing, Bai Tingyue reasoned about these, so he killed directly from the firepower of the defensive line.

"......," Merlin gritted his teeth and almost jumped. It is really worthy of the military god Bai Tingyue, this timing, the speed is exquisite, earlier, everyone is vigilant, it is impossible to kill without knowing it, and later, the other party has been defeated, and there is a chance to organize a counter-kill.

Sure enough, as His Highness said, people are always more difficult to deal with than beasts. Now, how do you deal with a situation where defeat is already assured?
