Three days later, fifty heavy-duty crossbow bolts that had been urgently made were finally transported to the front line. Luo Ji was obviously determined to break through the gate of Shangyuan City this time, so he directly sent the five arrows he had brought this time.

All the three-bow crossbows were pushed out!

No nonsense, Luo Ji waved his hand, and five three-bow bed crossbows fired at the same time. The first salvo directly targeted the opponent's bed crossbows placed on the city wall.

A series of violent roars directly hit Li Kuo's heart, making him feel frightened. Faced with this range suppression, the bed crossbow on the top of their Shangyuan City wall was completely reduced to a decoration, and they had no power to resist at all. The powerful and violent attack

He ruthlessly destroyed the bed crossbows on their walls, damaging the morale of the soldiers defending the city.

After three rounds of firing, and after destroying all the crossbows on the opposite wall, Luo Ji signaled the army to advance a hundred meters and changed the target of the attack to the gate of Shangyuan City.

After closing the distance, the three-bow crossbow's hit rate and power were significantly improved. In just one attack, it caused obvious damage to the gate of Shangyuan City. Just as Luo Ji was pondering the opponent's next move.

When he was walking, he held up his binoculars and discovered that the soldiers guarding the city on the opposite wall were quickly evacuating.

Originally he thought that the opponent was planning to leave the city to attack, but there was no movement at the closed gate of Shangyuan City. Luo Ji, who noticed something strange, had a flash of thought in his eyes, and then signaled the three-bow crossbow.

He stopped the attack. After a while, he raised his hand and sent a small team of ladder troops to quickly get closer. They climbed up the wall of Shangyuan City to confirm the situation. Finally, they found that the defending troops in the city were actually destroying the city.

The mechanism at the east city gate has been withdrawn...

"Damn! These cowards actually abandoned the city and fled? They really are not men!"

Luo Yong, Guo Zhen and Liu Meng were all depressed after hearing the news. The most depressed among them was probably Liu Meng. After all, Luo Yong and Guo Zhen had already made achievements, but he had just gone to the front line.

, the enemy ran away before he even had a chance to make a meritorious service...

Unlike the three people who were full of depression, Luo Ji obviously wanted to think more. Shangyuan City was an important line of defense for the Eastern Territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty. After realizing the destructive power of the three-bow bed crossbow, Li Kuo actually

Retreating without even fighting? This move is simply two extremes from the way they defended the city a few days ago.

After quickly sorting out the thoughts in his mind, Luo Ji pondered for a while and then asked Zhou Yi, who knew the situation best in the Zhou Dynasty, "Zhou Yi, what do you think?"

As a wise general, Zhou Yi obviously noticed the unusualness of Li Kuo's move at this time, so he had been thinking about this matter in his mind just now, "Without Zhou Southeast's order, according to Li Kuo's character, absolutely

I didn’t dare to abandon the city and escape like this, but he retreated so simply this time, most likely after getting Zhou Southeast’s signal.”

After hearing this conclusion, Luo Ji rubbed his chin, and then asked again, "Behind Shangyuan City is the royal city of Great Zhou, right?"

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded.

"Do you think it is possible that Zhou Southeast will abandon the Great Zhou Royal City and retreat?"

"My subordinates think it is impossible. If we withdraw further to the west, there will be only two small cities left with very weak defenses and defenses. In comparison, the Royal City of Great Zhou is the most populous and largest city in the entire Great Zhou. If

Even if Da Zhou gave up, there would be no chance of a comeback after that Zhou Southeast."

Hearing this, a flash of understanding flashed in Luo Ji's eyes. According to Zhou Yi, if Zhou Southeast wants to make a comeback, he must not give up the Zhou Dynasty. Once he gives up, he will have no one and no resources.

What capital does he have to talk about this comeback issue?

In this way, it is easy to guess what the opponent meant by this move. He obviously wanted to preserve his troops and then fight him to the death outside the King's City of Great Zhou Dynasty.

With this thought flashing through his mind, the two teams that climbed up to Shangyuan City using ladders finally managed to open the East City Gate with great effort.

After the army entered the city, Luo Ji noticed that Shangyuan City was extremely lively. Looking at it, he saw a fire burning in the distance.

Considering all the circumstances, Luo Ji decisively mobilized troops to assist the people in the city to put out the fire. Afterwards, it was confirmed that the two burned buildings in the city were the granary and the armory, and other surrounding buildings were also affected to a certain extent.

Fortunately, the fire was controlled in time and no further damage was caused.

Luo Ji had basically no idea about Zhou Southeast's method. In the eyes of Zhou Southeast and Li Kuo, this move may have successfully prevented the grain, grass and ordnance that could not be taken away from falling into the hands of the enemy, but for the current situation, it was basically

For Luo Ji, who had no shortage of food, grass, ordnance, there was basically no impact.

On the contrary, the people of Shangyuan City, who were burned by this fire, are panicking and complaining. Coupled with the previous forced recruitment of soldiers, one can imagine how strong the public resentment in Shangyuan City is now.

The other party's cooperation gave Luo Ji an excellent opportunity to win over people's hearts. He decisively asked people to send porridge and provide food, and then asked Zhou Yi and others to help appease the people in the city. They could also easily gain the loyalty of the surrendered soldiers. What fun?

Why not?

Facts have proved that Luo Ji's move was successful. He just shouted to the crowd, "Is there anyone who can repair the city gate mechanism?", and several people immediately stood up and expressed their willingness to help them repair the city gate mechanism, and even

Luo Ji later went to a few people to ask about the situation in various cities within the Zhou Dynasty during this period. The people also acted like they knew everything and could not stop talking. There is no doubt that these people were very interested in the Zhou Dynasty and the city.

Zhou Southeast's loyalty has dropped below 60 points.

At this time, Luo Ji was thinking in his mind, after this all-out war was over, whether he should simply transfer all the population of these cities to his own territory. Anyway, the popularity of these people would be restored. After these people surrendered,

, with the loyalty blessing of his 'ruler' talent, it is estimated that he can easily reach more than seventy-five points, which can just add a large wave of manpower to his civilization.

Of course, this is just an idea for the time being. He has to think carefully about whether he wants to do this. With such a large population, it is not something that can be accepted just by accepting it. You also have to see if there are so many people on your own territory.

Jobs and living areas, not to mention the all-out war in front of us are not over yet.

In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Luo Ji did not stay in Shangyuan City for long. After resting for a night, he left a hundred troops in the city as support, and then the army slowly left the city and rushed towards the decisive battle of this all-out war!
