Chapter 97 Night Attack on Yuanhe City
The bed crossbow cannot be penetrated. Although his eight-ox crossbow is stronger than the ordinary bed crossbow, he has never tried it. When he thought of the bronze armor plate opposite, Xia Qi's head started to hurt, as if he could penetrate the bronze armor plate.
He has never tried this kind of thing, so he is also a little confused.
"White Wolf, turn around and move the Eight Niu Crossbow placed on the east city wall to the west city gate." Xia Qi took the battle this time and brought six Eight Niu Crossbows over, captured Dongyuan City, and went to the east.
Two were left in the Jingcheng City, and the remaining four were moved to the new city. These four Eight-Nuo Crossbows were placed on the east and west walls by Xia Qi.
Now, facing these two armored vehicles from the cold weapons era, Xia Qi obviously had no time to take care of the East City Gate of the New City.
Xia Qi obviously had no choice at this step, and Li Chuan knew it in his heart, but he still had to express his concerns.
"But the patriarch, if the east wall of the new city is attacked by the siege troops of Yuanhecheng and without the crossbow, it will be difficult for us to attack the other party's siege equipment."
Xia Qi could not have considered Li Chuan's concerns. Then, he quickly pointed on the map, "So, tomorrow morning, I will draw 1,000 troops from the new city, and then draw 1,000 from the rear Dongyuan City.
Forces, use these two thousand troops to attack Yuanhecheng! In this way, the royal court will be attacked from front to back, and the baggage route will be cut off."
"What should we do with the enemy troops west of the new city?" Li Chuan was shocked when he heard this and asked repeatedly.
"It's okay, with the two thousand soldiers under your command, the white wolf and the army of 500 Daxia City, you just want to defend a city, no problem."
"This..." Faced with such an answer, Li Chuan was speechless for a moment.
No matter what, Li Chuan finally agreed with Xia Qi's decision, and tomorrow morning, as the person who is most familiar with this terrain, he had to follow Xia Qi to attack Yuanhe City.
However, that night, the three of them gathered together. In addition to analyzing the issue of military deployment, they obviously had to discuss the issue of playing style. Among them, the key issues needed to be discussed is undoubtedly the battle to defend the city on the New City side.
"Who is the general leading the army on the other side, and what is the command style?" Bai Lang's words were obviously asking Li Chuan.
After all, it has been a stalemate for so many days, Li Chuan still knows who the general opposite is.
"The general responsible for commanding the siege troops on the other side is Li Ke, the guard of Kihara Castle. He is a general who mainly plays with stability."
Li Chuan actually wanted to say that the other party was a powerful general, but when he talked about the powerful general, he couldn't help but sound Li Hu, who had been chopped in half by a Xiong's knife, so he changed his statement.
According to what Li Chuan said, Li Ke is really not an ordinary character. He has curbed the invasion of the player army several times. His overall style is mainly stable and he never greedy for merit and advances.
In Xia Qi's words, it's more arduous.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a little bit, especially for the generals who defend the city. Although it cannot cause any major damage to the enemy, the monarch will definitely feel at ease if he defends the city.
After hearing Li Chuan's evaluation of Li Kuo, a trace of understanding flashed through Xia Qi's heart. At the same time, what I have to say was that the royal court really took a lot of thought to the deployment of this general.
When other players attacked the city and attacked outside the city of Kihara, it undoubtedly means that the situation on the east border has collapsed. What is needed at this time is to stabilize the situation, so it is specially designed to be in this city of Kihara in the central area.
The company has a stable-style general. As long as Li Ke can hold on, he will have the opportunity to regroup and make a comeback.
Wang Ting's arrangement is not bad, but he is good at it.

It seems that the generals who defended the city came to attack the city, but it is not a wise move.
The next morning, after officially handing over the task of guarding the new city to Bailang, Xia Qi rectified the army and prepared to set off.
After the rectification was completed, Xia Qi asked all soldiers to carry dry food for five days to go on the battle. After the army left the city, the team carrying food and grass in the rear would soon follow.
Obviously, Xia Qi is ready for a long-term battle.
To this end, he also ordered the soldiers to bring all the cloud ladders found in the East Realm City and the New City Ordnance Warehouse and form a temporary cloud ladder team, hoping to reduce the difficulty of capturing Yuanhe City for him.
Although the original river city has the word "river" in its name, it is actually a mountain city.
After the army set out, reinforcements from Dongyuan City arrived much earlier than he expected, which was an unexpected surprise for Xia Qi.
This situation is quite easy for Xia Qi. After all, it is easy to get together early and feel at ease. With the advancement of the army, the surrounding terrain gradually changed into mountains. The drop in the height of the terrain is even more obvious than expected. As it turns out, Li Chuan said
Yes, the siege equipment cannot be pushed up at all. At the same time, the ups and downs of the terrain also made it more difficult for the soldiers to advance than usual.
If it weren't for the bad location, the Yuanhe City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, would probably add a lot of trouble to the players who invaded.
But many things cannot be done as they wish. The geographical advantage belongs to the geographical advantage, and the location belongs to the location. The location of Dongyuan City just blocks the necessary path for the enemy's army, so it is possible to build the first path
The defense line, but the location of Yuanhecheng cannot do this.
"Class leader, push forward for about half a day, and it will be Yuanhe City." Li Chuan, who confirmed his position, rode his horse to Xia Qi and said.
"Okay." Xia Qi responded, and then said to a messenger beside him, "Send the order to familiarize the soldiers with the terrain here, and then find a gentle place nearby to camp for a night of rest,
Siege the city at dawn tomorrow!"
Xia Qi's idea is very simple. While preparing for a long-term battle, he also needs to fight a raid war. Even if Yuanhe City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, it is difficult to be captured by him in one wave, but he still has to try it.
It's okay to try it. Just give up without doing anything, which is not in line with his usual style of doing things.
After dinner, Xia Qi and Li Chuan discussed the specific details of tomorrow's siege, and after arranging the night watch mission, he signaled everyone to go to bed early.
Then, in the early morning, I looked up at the sky and estimated that it was two or three o'clock in the morning. The night was clear tonight, and the bright full moon in the sky added a bit of light to the late night.
This is undoubtedly a good thing for Xia Qi and the others. A soldier woke up quickly from his sleep and almost fell asleep at the same time as the sun sets. At this time, these spirits can be called
It was full. After spending about ten minutes, I simply ate some dry food I carried with me, the two thousand troops advanced directly in the dark under the moonlight.
Xia Qi did not ask them to light the torch. In this era, the light of fire in the night was too eye-catching. The soldiers standing on the city wall could probably see it at a glance from a long distance, which would undoubtedly reveal their existence.
, resulting in their defeat in this attack.
Fortunately, all the veterans brought out this time were all veterans in the army. Although the night color had an impact on them, it was not enough to shake them. They were all taking care of each other and advancing calmly.
However, this incident reminded Xia Qi. After the battle, it felt like it was almost time to add events such as "night attack" and "night march" to military training.

At dawn, a shocking cry of killing woke Liu Chen, who was sleeping, on the spot. His body, which had lost his balance, fell off the bed, causing him to be completely confused.
"What...what happened? It was the enemy attacking him?!"
Regardless of the exclamations of his wives and concubines on the bed, Liu Chen didn't even have time to put on a coat on himself, so he got up from the ground with both hands and feet, and then rushed out of his bedroom.
As soon as the man rushed into the yard, he ran into a soldier who rushed over to report, "General! The enemy is here!"
Liu Chen's heart sank instantly when he heard this, and then he grabbed the soldier's collar, "Where have you hit?!"
"It's already siege." The soldier shouted with a sad face.
"Are all the soldiers on duty blind? I don't know if the enemy hits him!?"
At this time, Liu Chen felt that he was about to go crazy. This group of enemies was not a good man and a man. After Dongyuan City and Xincheng were captured, the general's body was directly hung on the city wall. This news, he also said that
Hear it! Now this group of brutal enemies have already reached the outside of Yuanhe City and have even begun to attack the city. How can he not panic?
He didn't want to be hung on the city wall and turned into a pendant like Wang Tian.
The soldier was obviously frightened by Liu Chen's reaction, and his tone was already shivering a little, "General, it's really, it's too dark, brothers can't see clearly!"
"It's too dark to see clearly?! It's too dark..."
Halfway through his words, Liu Chen's voice, who seemed to realize something, suddenly stopped. Then, he looked up at the sky above his head, which was still covered by the night. His expression was completely stiff at this moment, "
It was actually touched by the night?!"
"Send a messenger to let him ride on a fast horse and walk from the other end! Report the situation here to the king!
"After all, he was the one who could be appointed as the general of the city guarding by the Wang Ting. After a brief panic, Liu Chen finally calmed down and quickly issued an order.
On the other side, soldiers who launched an attack on Yuanhecheng under the night light were carrying the cloud ladder and pushing it wildly. The cloud ladder is indeed cheap and can be made on a large scale. However, don't expect it to be effective.
OK, because to put it bluntly, it is an extended ladder. The advanced ones have a telescopic function, and the more advanced ones are the ladder trucks.
At this time, what the soldiers under Xia Qi were holding was the cheapest. Wang Ting used these ladders as a means to assist in siege. After all, his center of gravity was on the siege tower, and these rows of ladders were also
It just plays a role of disturbance or cover.
This situation made Xia Qi feel more uncomfortable. At the moment, we can only win by number. If a ladder cannot attack, then install a cross. If the cross cannot attack, then install twenty, until the opposite city wall.
The soldiers couldn't stop pushing!
Although the battle situation was a bit intense, taking advantage of the surprise attack, the soldiers in Yuanhe City responded, the current situation was still relatively favorable for Xia Qi. With the ladders erected, the opponent's city wall was built.
The limited guard forces soon fell into a state of inability to deal with it, and Xiong Yi saw the opportunity and quickly climbed up.
Then, he showed his power and waved his bronze sword to chop several enemy soldiers to the ground in succession, and then cleared a living space on the enemy's city wall.
The veterans below were also quick-witted. Seeing that the ladder protected by bear began to climb up wildly, they rushed up the wall of Yuanhe City in one breath!
