This outpost battle is destined to not cause many casualties. Luo Ji, who does not have the advantage in strength, cannot go out of the city to pursue, and the siege party with tentative purposes cannot lose too many of its troops in a trial. Both sides

The commander knew everything in his mind, and he was going back and forth with Tai Chi. After two rounds of siege, Shangyuan City's troops quickly retreated. During this period, the siege towers were not even used.

Just as Luo Ji guessed, Zhou Southeast pushed out the siege tower more to act as a deterrent. After all, he had seen the power of Luo Ji's three-bow crossbow, and there was no need to do it in a battle.

In the tentative outpost battle, push the siege tower forward at the risk of damage. This thing is expensive!

At the same time, the news here was quickly delivered to Zhou Southeast. Looking at the battle report in his hand, Zhou Southeast breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. At least the situation was stabilized. Although he was attacked by a wave of opponents as soon as the game started.

The situation was bad enough when the blitzkrieg captured Dongjing City and Songhe City, but fortunately there was still room for redemption.

Next, according to his plan, he only needed to let the large forces of Shangyuan City contain Luo Ji, and wait until the reinforcements from the other side arrived at Songshan City. At that time, a wave of attacks from front to back would directly trap Luo Ji to death.

In Songhe City, kill the opponent in one breath and end the battle! Thinking of the end, Zhou Southeast's eyes were filled with cold murderous intent!

Time passed day by day. After that outpost battle, Shangyuan City's troops should have directly found a place to camp nearby, and then walked around Luo Ji's place every day as if they were completing daily tasks.

, and from time to time they would suddenly attack the city, which was obviously to consume their energy and attract their attention.

The opponent's move was a complete conspiracy. Even if he knew Zhou Southeast was trying to contain him, he couldn't really ignore the two thousand troops outside Songhe City. The two sides just maintained the rhythm of containing each other and consuming each other.

, on the seventh day of the all-out war, on this day, accompanied by the setting sun, the reinforcements from Xiyuan City successfully entered Songhe City after marching for several days...

Looking at the carts of stones being transported into the city, Zhou Yi, who was walking with Luo Ji, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He thought these stones were crushed stones, and they seemed to be a little too small. He couldn't say otherwise.

I really can't think of any use for so many round stones.

"Chief, what are these stones?" Zhou Yi showed his good habit of asking questions when he doesn't understand. Zhou Yi asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"It's a stone bullet." Luo Ji said calmly.

"But why transport so many carts of stone bullets? If you want to break stones, there should be a lot of them on the wall of Songhe City, and this head is a bit too small."

"These stone bullets are for slingers."

"Throw, slinger?" Zhou Yi's expression was stunned for a moment, and he thought for a while before finally reacting, because this word was too far away for him, and at the same time it was quite unfamiliar. For them,

The three words "slinger" basically only existed when people of the previous generation were bragging.

When Luo Ji learned about this situation, he was a little surprised. It seemed that Zhou Southeast's development took longer than he expected. But after thinking about it, it seemed that it was not a strange thing, because during the development, even if

As a modern person, sometimes if you cannot find some special resources, it will be difficult for you to promote the development of your own civilization.

One of the most direct examples is that if you cannot find copper or tin mines, you cannot smelt bronze and cannot enter the Bronze Age. At the same time, if you count forward, you must first find coal mines before you can find copper mines.

, or other things that can be used as fuel, because the temperature generated after burning ordinary wood is simply not enough to cast copper!

Some players can't find certain resources, and it's not unusual for them to be stuck on a card for several years at a certain stage. Luo Ji's early development was relatively smooth, but even so, counting the six-month novice

Period, he also stayed in Wudan for three or four years.

The span of the bronze rank is obviously longer than that of no rank. Looking at these cities, Luo Ji guessed that Zhou Southeast had developed for decades, right? And Zhou Yi was only in his twenties. When he was born,

The slinger unit has probably been eliminated long ago...

Facing a soldier of his father's generation, or even his grandfather's generation, it was natural that Zhou Yi couldn't react for a while, but after he reacted, the expression on his face was full of weirdness.

Before this incident actually happened, he had never imagined that he could actually see the slingers. What was even more strange was that in the past few days, he had seen that Luo Ji had people like the Prime Minister under his command.

Compared with the archer troops, they are not inferior at all. Under this premise, what is the significance of retaining the ancient arms of slingers? Just when Zhou Yi was thinking this, a man wearing bronze armor walked towards them.

Come……

The appearance of the other party attracted Zhou Yi's attention. In this era, even in the great Zhou Dynasty that has developed so far, those who are qualified to wear bronze armor are all general-level figures. And the person in front of him is most likely to be responsible for leading this time.

The general who sent troops to support.

This general gave Zhou Yi a very different feeling. Although he had done nothing, his whole body exuded a calm aura, as if there was nothing he couldn't handle, and he walked over in an unhurried pace.

Slowly, as if the distance between each step is the same.

Just as Zhou Yi's thoughts were whirling around, the man had already slowly walked up to Luo Ji, knelt down on one knee and said, "General Zhao Pan, please see the clan leader!"

"Clan leader..." Hearing this title, a flash of thought flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes. Since that day, he obviously knew that this title had a certain special meaning. Generally, soldiers and officers would call Luo Ji "chief" when they addressed him.

, and he currently only knows two people who can call the clan leader, one is Luo Yong, and the other is obviously the Zhao Pan in front of him.

Luo Yong's bravery in splitting Liu Hu in half with an ax left a deep impression on him, and the Zhao Pan in front of him was obviously no ordinary character.

Just as he was thinking this, Luo Ji, who was standing next to him, spoke with a hint of joy in his voice and a hint of relaxation at the same time, "Zhao Pan, you came all the way from Iron Wall City to this place. Thank you for your hard work."

Already."

"It won't be hard in the end, thank you clan leader for your concern."

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Zhou Yi, who just surrendered to me a few days ago." As he spoke, Luo Ji reached out and patted Zhao Pan on the shoulder, "Zhou Yi, this is Zhao Pan, the one I trust most.

One of my favorite generals, with him here, it will not be easy for the two thousand siege troops in Shangyuan City to break through the west wall of Songhe City, and they may even be able to fight them back directly!"
