Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Breaking of the City
These people gathered here, constantly listening to the news from the spies in front, after learning that Dayong had gathered 1.2 million troops to attack them, many generals were in an uproar, and some of them asked the woman sitting on the high seat: "Patriarch, why don't we evacuate, although we are not afraid of Dayong, but if we start a large-scale war with them, our people will definitely suffer heavy losses, and we can't afford this loss." ”
The woman sitting on the high seat is really the patriarch of the barbarian clan, the strongest bloodline of the barbarian clan, she has already broken through the innate period at the age of twenty, and has reached the peak of the middle congenital stage like Li Jingxiao at this moment, and her talent is much stronger than Li Jingxiao's predecessor Yuan Junxuan.
The people in the barbarian tribe use their own special code names, but she has studied in the Dayong Heavenly Dynasty for a long time, and she has taken a new name by herself, called Mu Yunzi.
Facing the fact that Mu Yunzi, an elder of the clan, did not give an order immediately, and he also understood the current situation that the barbarian clan really couldn't bear such a loss, but she was still unwilling to give up such an opportunity, just came out to harass Dayong, and then retreated into the mountains, this time she wanted to change, and wanted to make these areas completely become the rule of the barbarian clan.
"Enough, I'm the patriarch, and I'll have the final say in everything. As long as we hold on here, they won't be able to get in. Although Dayong said that there are many people, but the combat power and our race must not be compared, as long as we are careful enough, it is not difficult to destroy their millions, now the war has just begun, and all conclusions are too early. ”
"Patriarch, you are gambling with the lives of the clansmen, and I firmly disagree. As soon as Mu Yunzi's words were finished, the barbarian elder standing at the front below stood up and objected.
However, Mu Yunzi didn't care about the people below at all, and said with a very proud expression: "If you are dissatisfied with the patriarch, you go to the temple to pray and react, now I am still the patriarch, and I don't have the right to refute." ”
At the mention of the temple, Elder Man's face showed hesitation and worry, and he was full of awe for the temple.
Seeing that there was no opposition below, Mu Yunzi told the elders of the barbarian clan about his plan. The elders understood what this meant, and they left, and even though many of them were dissatisfied with it, they had no choice but to carry it out.
Just when all the defenses in the city were almost set up, Li Xiaoyi led 1.2 million people to appear in the distance of the city.
Looking at the direction of the city, Li Xiaoyi said to Li Jingxiao: "Prince, this is the only city occupied by the barbarian clan, and it is also the largest city they have captured, and its defensive strength can also be classified as superior compared to the entire Celestial Empire. ”
"Well, everything will go according to plan, whether it can be done depends on the will of God. Li Jingxiao looked at the city in the distance, his eyes showed solemnity, although the battle formation has been prepared, but if the other party can't defend it, they can only besiege the city at most.
After Li Jingxiao finished speaking, Li Xiaoyi did not hesitate, and according to the original plan, he took 400,000 troops from the army and rushed towards the city. Immediately afterwards, Deputy Marshal He led 400,000 people to catch up with him. In the end, Li Jingxiao took the 400,000 people who set up the battle formation at the rear, and stepped forward unhurriedly, and in the end, if the army wanted to win, they were the key.
Li Xiaoyi led the army forward, and the two sides did not say anything, and the flames of war were ignited in an instant. The barbarian army is not very accustomed to using the bows and arrows of the Dayong army because it is too tall, but after the previous defeat, the barbarian army also has to pay attention to it, and if it does not use bows and arrows to defend the city, it is a great advantage.
However, because the barbarians are naturally hand-to-hand warriors, they do not have any crosshairs for the use of bows and arrows. What's more, Dayong's bows and arrows were made according to their figures, and the barbarians were much taller, so the bows and arrows were difficult to spread out on their arms when they were placed in their hands.
Discovering the flaws in the barbarians' use of bows and arrows, Li Xiaoyi immediately ordered the army to advance in a shield formation.
However, just as the Dayong army was about to approach the city, a giant crossbow appeared on the city wall, and next to each giant crossbow were at least two barbarian tribesmen, and long arrows placed on them could reach the thickness of an adult's arm.
All the giant crossbows appeared, and without giving the Dayong soldiers time to react, the huge long arrows on them shot out sharply.
Such a huge bow and arrow, the power should not be underestimated, although a round down, but only a thousand arrows, but just this time, the Dayong soldiers died thousands of people, nearly 10,000 casualties, and there was a huge gap in the shield array.
After continuing to attack, he still couldn't get close, and Li Xiao ordered the withdrawal of troops to rest.
After going back, Li Xiaoyi appeared beside Li Jingxiao and reported back on the situation ahead. After listening, Li Jingxiao was not angry, but said calmly with a little excitement: "The defenders in the city are no more than 100,000 at most, and there are still 120,000 troops who have not appeared, and it is very likely that there are 100,000 horses ambushed outside." ”
"But I don't know the situation in the city now, how can the prince be so sure?" Li Xiaoyi naturally also discovered the number of defenders in the city, but now they don't know anything about the situation in the city, so they don't dare to make such a judgment at will, on the battlefield, any judgment is related to the lives of all soldiers.
"This battle is completely unnecessary for the barbarians, but they still stayed, which means that they want to win this battle, if they hold on to the city, but they can't do this, and the city is not without the possibility of strengthening the defense, but only send 100,000 people, which is very suspicious. ”
"That's true, but"
"No, but, if they're not outside the city, as long as we keep our distance, they can't do it if they want to raid in the city. And if they really arranged for a large army to prepare near us outside the city, then it would not be a sorry providential arrangement if they were not left behind. Li Jingxiao looked in a certain direction with a smile and said with a confident smile in his eyes.
"Then please be careful with the prince, the battlefield is changing rapidly, and his subordinates cannot ensure the prince's safety. ”
"Hmm. After Li Jingxiao nodded, Li Xiaoyi led the army to attack the city again according to the original plan.
Under the instructions of the Sword Soul, Li Jingxiao had already locked on the existence of the secret army of the Barbarian Clan when he came here. Although having an ability is beyond everyone's expectations, it is also part of the strength, and Li Jingxiao will not waste it.
Knowing the exact place, Li Jingxiao slowly leaned towards the army ambushed by the barbarians with the 400,000 army in his hand, and deliberately exposed the side to the other party according to the terrain.
As Li Xiaoyi found a way to overcome the barbarian giant crossbow, an army of 400,000 attacked the city with all his might. At this moment, following Li Jingxiao's order, Deputy Marshal He led another 400,000 troops to another gate in the city.
The number of people left in the city is only 120,000, and now that the other side is being attacked by a large army, Mu Yunzi has no choice but to dispatch the 20,000 horses in charge of security in the city to rush forward continuously, and from the front to defend Li Xiao's 140,000 army of your 100,000 army, 30,000 horses have also been dispatched.
Mu Yunzi, who was sitting in the city, suddenly felt a sense of danger when he saw the direction in which Li Jingxiao led the army to leave, so he couldn't bear it anymore and rushed to the city gate where Li Jingxiao was going, wanting to guard it himself.
When Li Jingxiao appeared in the ambush of the army that was secretly ambushing, under Mu Yunzi's order, the 100,000 army immediately rushed to the army led by Li Jingxiao. With 100,000 against 400,000, and it was a sneak attack, the barbarian army can be said to occupy an absolute advantage under normal circumstances, if it succeeds this time, then Dayong's side will pay attention to tens of thousands of losses at one time.
But Li Jingxiao came prepared this time, after Mu Yunzi gave the order, Li Jingxiao directly let the sword soul disturb the soul power aura here, so that Mu Yunzi's order could not continue to be transmitted.
The sword soul completed its task, but with Li Jingxiao's order, 400,000 people had already formed a war in an instant, and an invisible aura emanated. Mu Yunzi quickly discovered this aura, and felt that something was wrong, and immediately ordered to withdraw the army at any time, but unfortunately it was too late.
The 100,000 barbarian army that rushed towards Li Jingxiao reacted so quickly when they saw Dayong's 400,000 army, although they felt a trace of surprise, but they did not retreat, because they did not dare to withdraw without Mu Yunzi's order.
After a while, the army of 100,000 barbarians rushed into Li Jingxiao's battle array. When the 100,000 army entered, Mu Yunzi's last hope was shattered, and he saw the murderous aura of knowledge rising to the sky.
With the entry of the barbarian army, Li Jingxiao immediately put out the formation flag, and the ten innate masters and avant-garde and acquired generals in the army found their respective positions and operated the battle formation.
The soldiers in the battle formation showed no mercy, and with the help of the guidance of the array flag, the strength of everyone gathered and attacked the barbarian army. Because of the numerical advantage, the Dayong soldiers used the shield array to isolate the barbarian tribesmen, divide and kill them.
When Mu Yunzi saw the situation inside, an incredible thought flowed out of her eyes. After watching it for a while, Mu Yunzi immediately ordered the soldiers in the city to abandon the defenses in the city and completely converge to this side, wanting to break the battle formation from the outside and rescue the army trapped inside.
However, when the battle formation on Li Jingxiao's side was formed, Li Xiaoyi and Deputy Marshal He both got the signal and began to withdraw the army and converge towards that side. Li Jingxiao had given the order before, since there were only 100,000 troops outside the city, it would be like solving the 100,000 horses. And if this side is up at that time, the defenders in the city will definitely go out of the city to rescue, and they will need to intercept it at that time, and they must hold on until the 100,000 troops inside are not a threat.
