Chapter 314: Zhou Yu with a Big Brain
Seeing that the armies of both sides were about to fight again, unexpectedly, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred!
I saw a cavalry force coming out from behind the huge wild goose formation!
"Want a head-on breakthrough?"
Wang Arthur frowned and directly ordered the front row of infantry to intercept the cavalry.
However, at this moment, a horn sounded on the battlefield, and the wild goose formation on the opposite side began to close up at this moment!
The soldiers were extremely skilled in changing formations. The changes in the wild goose formation abruptly separated his main infantry unit from the enemy's cavalry!
The wings of the wild goose formation are thin and the troops are scattered, so the defense is relatively weak. Without a huge advantage, it can be easily broken through by the enemy.
But at this time, this wild goose formation caused Zhou Yu to have fun!
He had only one purpose, and that was to block the main infantry force on the opposite side for a moment.
In this moment, the light cavalry troops with sufficient mobility galloped past from the outside.
King Arthur's expression changed slightly after he had reacted at this time, but as a veteran player on the civilized battlefield, he would not be disorganized by this.
He just heard a direct and loud order, instructing the mages in the back row to interrupt the chanting of the Qingfeng Bullet spell and switch spells, and at the same time let the archers harass the cavalry and shoot.
After completing a series of countermeasures, Wang Arthur turned his eyes and confirmed the distance between the two parties at this moment.
The light cavalry on the opposite side attacked extremely fast, and their intention to cut through the rear row was obvious.
However, the corners of Wang Arthur's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.
Is his back row so easy to cut?
Although the frontal assault method of the cavalry on the opposite side exceeded his expectations to a certain extent.
But isn’t it common sense for a player of his level to take measures to prevent the opponent from cutting into the back row?
Seeing that the cavalry team on the opposite side was about to attack, Wang Arthur calculated the time and distance very accurately, saw the opportunity, concentrated a wave of spells, and blasted past.
There was only a fierce roar of wind, and the cavalry at the front of the team seemed to have received a blow in the head out of thin air. The horses under their crotches screamed loudly, and they were knocked off their backs on the spot!
This hand abruptly stopped the cavalry's surprise attack, and Zhou Yu's heart twitched as he watched from far away on the city wall.
Putting down the telescope in his hand, as a bystander far behind, he had no idea what was happening.
With no time to think about it, and no time to get mad, Zhou Yu quickly signaled the main force to change their formation.
The wild goose formation was only used to cover the cavalry's frontal assault, and was not suitable for a head-on fight with the enemy's main force.
But now, the cavalry team has been defeated and suffered heavy losses. The remaining defenders of Yushan City cannot tolerate any more mistakes.
The terrible situation made Zhou Yu's eyebrows almost twisted into a ball.
At this moment, looking back at Wang Arthur, he naturally felt a little proud in his heart.
The cavalry raid on the opposite side was obviously the opponent's trump card in today's battle. Now that all the trump cards had been resolved by him, Wang Arthur couldn't help but feel like he was winning.
The horns of attack continued to sound, and the siege army under his command attacked fiercely.
The defenders who were defeated on the first day, after suffering casualties on the first day, will still have a dead end in a head-on fight unless they make a comeback and win in terms of tactical layout on the second day!
The defending troops led by Bao Xiong were beaten and retreated steadily, and then they retreated all the way back to Yushan City.
Wang Arthur, who was chasing after him, immediately began to attack the city. Zhou Yu repeated his old tricks and tried to use fire attacks to repel the enemy. Unexpectedly, after yesterday's retreat, Wang Arthur was already prepared for this.
When he saw the defenders on the opposite side starting to set fire again, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him rushed up carrying sack after sack of sand, extinguishing the fire abruptly, and then continued to attack the city.
In response to this, Zhou Yu's face was filled with uncertainty, and he quickly motioned to the soldiers on the wall to greet him in turn with rolling logs and rocks.
The violent bear who retreated into the city, after leaving some of his troops to hold up the city gate, quickly rushed to the top of the wall with the remaining soldiers.
If you can't beat the opponent, you can only grit your teeth and defend.
They still have a chance. Tianxiong Pass is not very far from Yushan City. As long as they persist for a while, reinforcements will definitely arrive!
With such an obsession, Bao Xiong led the soldiers who defended the city and fought hard with the enemies outside the city until dusk.
At this moment, Wang Arthur's face was already a little ugly, and the posture on the opposite side was completely threatening people's lives!
There were already piles of corpses under the city wall, which made him wonder if reinforcements from the opposite side were about to arrive, which was why the other side defended the city like that.
At the same time, there is inevitably a trace of regret in my heart.
He still looked down upon Xia Qi a little too much. He should have brought more troops this time.
Wang Arthur had no choice but to retreat in the end.
Watching the invading troops gradually disappear into the forest, the violent bear heaved a sigh of relief and sat down on the wall.
The consecutive days of defeats filled the air of the entire military camp with a depressing atmosphere, and every one of the soldiers defending the city looked depressed.
By the third day, Yushan City had adopted a defensive policy of not being able to escape.
No matter how the other side called the formation, they were still defending the city.
Although it's ugly to be stuck like this, no one can deny that it is very useful.
Before I knew it, the time came to the fifth day.
Zhou Yu, who had not slept properly for several days, now looked completely disheveled, staring at the sand table simulating a battlefield in front of him with a pair of bloodshot eyes.
After a moment, he overturned the entire sand table, surprising the violent bears standing nearby.
Then, before he could speak, Zhou Yu spoke first.
"Destroy all the things that mark the terrain, as well as the food in the granary in the city, the equipment in the armory, take away everything you can! Burn and destroy what you can't take away!"
"City Lord Zhou Yu, you..."
"We evacuate immediately, general, Yushan City cannot be defended anymore!"
"Retreat? What will happen to the people in the city? Who knows what those invaders will do after they break the city."
In response, Zhou Yu took a deep breath, and then looked at the violent bear with his bloodshot eyes.
"General, we have no choice, this city cannot be defended."
Having said this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now we still have a chance to retreat. If we continue to fight, within half a day, the siege army on the opposite side will forcefully attack us! By then we won't be able to leave even if we want to!"
"Where are the reinforcements? We still have reinforcements! As long as we hold on for a while, the reinforcements from the Imperial City should arrive soon!"
Looking at Bao Xiong with a persistent look on his face, Zhou Yu sighed.
"It's impossible. Tianxiong Pass is not very far away from us. If they wanted to rescue them, they would have arrived yesterday at the latest..."
"You mean, that boy Li Chuan wants to die without rescuing him?!" Before Zhou Yu could finish his words, Bao Xiong spoke in disbelief.
Although Zhou Yu said nothing, the expression on his face said everything.
"How is this possible? Li Chuan doesn't seem to be a small-minded person..."
Looking at the innocent-looking Bao Xiong, Zhou Yi just sighed silently.
He was once a minister of Dayan, so he naturally had a deep understanding of the monarch.
The emperor, to put it bluntly, is just a very suspicious species.
Of the two Bao Xiong brothers, one is the secretary-general beside the emperor, and all reports in Daxia need to go through his hands.
One is General Daxia Zhennan, who has a large number of troops.
If His Majesty the Emperor is not afraid of them, Zhou Yu doesn't believe it anyway.
Combined with the series of actions taken by His Majesty the Emperor to strengthen the city wall and recruit troops not long ago, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor already knew that an enemy would attack soon.
However, at this critical moment, General Zhennan was dispatched to a small city like Yushan.
At that time, Zhou Yu had doubts that there must be some unknown secret.
Now it seems that His Majesty the Emperor wants to send the entire Zhennan Army and the entire people of Yushan City to death!
In Daxia City, Xia Qi already knew the direction of the enemy's arrival, and at this time he was urgently recruiting troops.
If he knew Zhou Yu's thoughts, he would definitely admire his imagination.
All this is actually a coincidence.
After all, how could he guess which direction the enemy would come from?
Just when Zhou Yu was still trying to persuade the violent bear, a soldier rushed in quickly.
"Report! It seems that reinforcements have arrived outside the city!"
Hearing this, Zhou Yu was stunned immediately, while Bao Xiong was overjoyed.
Then the two people quickly arrived at the city head, and saw that to the west of Yushan City, there was a sky full of dust.
As the distance increased, the roar of the war horses trampling on the ground became louder and louder.
Judging from the scale of the dust rising, the cavalry coming to the rescue must have been at least 3,000!
