"Let the elite soldiers come up and see what other tricks they have besides setting fire." Yu Ren said through gritted teeth.
Fine armor is Yu Ren’s hidden trump card. Fine armor is something you can’t just buy if you want. Generally, each city will have fifty pairs exclusively for the city defense army. If you want more, you need to find a way by yourself, but
There is one prohibition, you must not control yourself in private.
It took the Yu family hundreds of years to collect fine armor, and they used various methods such as bribery, fraud, robbery, etc. to get these thousand pieces from various channels.
A troop wearing gray cloaks came to the front of the two armies. Bo Quan was a little surprised. They covered their bodies so tightly. Is there any secret weapon? Bo Quan didn't have time to think too much. He sent out a group of ordinary soldiers.
's brigade.
At the beginning of the battle, the Kamikaze Castle Brigade took off their cloaks, revealing the fine armor covering them underneath. Their formation changed into a single-arrow arrow formation, and they rushed towards the Zhushan Castle Brigade at a neat pace.
"Is this another trump card in Yu Ren's hand?" Ding Kui asked in a relaxed tone. As long as it is not a high-end combat force that he and Ao Yu cannot deal with, having an elite force with luxurious equipment is nothing.
"This is a hard nut to crack. Those who can wear fine armor must be the Yu family's private army. They have been training in secret for a long time, and their combat effectiveness is comparable to that of my veteran brigade. It is best to use the cavalry brigade to attack them, and other arms should attack them.
It's not easy to cause damage." Bo Cen was under pressure. He knew what kind of attacks were effective against fine armor, and Zhushan City couldn't pick out a few troops to compete with it.
"Haha, in my eyes, they are just canned meat. It is much easier to deal with the Kamikaze Brigade. Don't worry, Lord Bai, there is no need to recall Bai Yun. The Jingjia Brigade is left to me." Ding Kui patted his chest and said:
The temperature it burned out was far less than that of the Wall of Fire, so even if it wasn't a special magic-resistant armor, he wouldn't pay attention to it.
"Dang, dang, dang," the gongs sounded intensively. Bo Quan did not want his men to die in vain. This was an impossible battle to win.
"How can you let people retreat before the fight begins? Beat the drums and march, and you must leave all the people in Zhushan City behind!" Yu Ren was furious.
In the first game, he had already sensed that something was not going well, and did not call for the gong to be beaten until the defeat was already decided. However, the opponent retreated without even attacking, which was very unruly.
In an instant, the drums were beating loudly, and Kamikaze City's three armies from the left, center and right came out, following the Jingjia Brigade and rushed towards the west gate of Zhushan City.
The archers who had been on standby on the west city had tens of thousands of arrows, and used dense rain of arrows to cover the withdrawal of the friendly troops below the city. Bo Quan personally led the "patch brigade" to break the rear and ordered all troops leaving the city to quickly return to the city.
The Jingjia Brigade pursued them to more than fifty meters in front of the west gate, and were stopped by the "Patch Brigade". Although the arrows shot from the city could not penetrate the Jingjia, they still weakened the combat effectiveness of the Jingjia Brigade to a certain extent. "Patch Brigade"
"He blocked the pursuit of the Jingjia Brigade and successfully retreated into the city before the Kamikaze City army arrived.
Seeing that there was nothing to gain, Yu Ren had no choice but to withdraw his troops.
In the next two days, the Kamikaze Brigade and the Jingjia Brigade took turns to challenge the city, but Zhushan City remained unmoved and the city gates were tightly closed and they could not get out.
Although Yu Ren was angry, he did not get carried away. He would not forcefully attack the city. He tried to attack Zhushan once, and after leaving hundreds of corpses behind, he gave up the idea of occupying the place.
The Bai family has been operating in Zhushan for thousands of years. The mountain walls below fifty meters have been cut straight, leaving only an extremely dangerous passage up the mountain. It is really a dangerous place where one man can block it and no one can access it. Above two hundred meters,
Smashing rocks down is enough for you, let alone other defensive measures.
News came from Kamikaze City headquarters that Bai Yun was broken into pieces, and more than 10,000 cavalry were divided into dozens of detachments, running around in Kamikaze City through special contact methods. The returning knight divisions did not dare to divide their troops, so they only
Being able to chase the cavalry led by Bai Yun personally caused other detachments to make a fuss. But at this time, banditry broke out in the mountainous areas of Kamikaze City. All the caravans did not dare to enter Kamikaze City again. Kamikaze City
It also entered a state of war.
"Let me lead the army back to surround Bai Yun." Zang Lian asked for a fight.
"It's useless. Bai Yun is leading cavalry. We can use the road to return to Zhushan City before other cities react. We can't cross the border to block her. If we don't bring many people back, we can't block her. If we bring more people back, we can't block her. If we bring more people, we can't block her."
It's dangerous, and containment is not a good strategy." Mr. Cheng objected.
"We must give Zhushan City enough threats to force Bai Yun to come back for rescue. We cannot let her lead us away." The pressure is on Yu Ren. If he drags it down, Zhushan City will suffer serious losses, but Kamikaze City will not be much better.
There are four towns in Kamikaze City that are not afraid of Bai Yun running through them in the mountainous areas. However, the problem is that the main source of income of the towns in the mountainous areas is minerals and they are extremely dependent on trade routes.
There are four tribes in Zhushan City that are not affected by the war at all. If Yu Ren doesn't have a headache, he will not go to the grassland to attack these four tribes. They can take a longer way and drive the cattle and horses to other cities that rely on the grassland to sell them.
If both cities were in war, Kamikaze City would suffer the greater loss. This was not what Yu Ren expected. He only thought that Bai Cen was dead and Bai Yun could not defend the city. The war was one-sided.
"With Bai Yun away, can the people in charge in the city have enough prestige? How about we use countermeasures and shoot a large number of arrows with secret messages of rebellion into the city at night to arouse suspicion among them; during the day we shout to persuade them to surrender and encourage them to leave the city.
In the battle, will Zhushan City be in chaos without the city lord?" Mr. Cheng offered advice.
"Wonderful, this plan is very good. Mr. Cheng Bin, you can be regarded as the second advisor to His Highness. With your help, I won't be able to capture Zhushan City. You will be solely responsible for this matter." Yu Ren was overjoyed and immediately asked Cheng Bin to
Implement countermeasures.
If Bai Cen is really dead, this counter-intuitive plan is indeed a clever move. I don't know if the Bai family will be in civil strife. It can at least shake the morale of the army and lower the morale of the Zhushan City defenders.
At night, several secret letters were placed in front of Bo Cen and Ding Kui.
"Hahaha, God help me, Yu Ren actually used counter-intuitive tactics. I was worried about how to make him believe that Bai Quan had a rebellious heart. I was really dozing off, and someone gave me a pillow, which helped me solve a big problem." Bai Cen
I'm so happy that the enemy brought such a good excuse to your door, and you don't have to thank him.
"Thanks to our studying all night yesterday, how to write this letter of surrender, Yu Ren sent the template today. Is there an element of luck in the tactics used by the ancients?" Ding Kui felt that he had a comrade on the opposite side, so he came out to assist at the critical moment.
.
"Don't talk about the ancients, people nowadays use stratagems with a certain amount of luck. No stratagem can accurately calculate the enemy's reaction. In many cases, the word 'smart' cannot be escaped, so when I can do without stratagems, I would rather
Winning with strength is the most practical thing." Botzen is also a steady person in nature.
On the sixth day of the war, when Yu Ren came to the west gate to scold him, he found that Bai Quan's flag was missing from the city, and the flag of the former commander of the city defense army had been raised to a higher position.
That night, a secret letter was sent into the main camp of Kamikaze City.
The letter was written in the name of Bai Quan, and the main idea of the letter was: The elders of the Bai family suspected that I had colluded with your city and intended to betray Zhushan City while the city lord was away. They deprived me of my highest command right based on mere suspicion.
And he sent me to guard the south gate. Bai Yun was away at war, and the Bai family was destitute. Some elders with evil intentions wanted to seize power, causing me to suffer unjust injustice. In order to vent my anger, in order to prevent those elders from getting their hands on the pearls.
As the lord of the mountain city, I have decided to let you enter the city and kill all the elders who betrayed the old master. When Bai Yun comes back, I will persuade her to marry into the Yu family, at least to prevent Zhushan City from falling into the hands of others.
"What do you think? Is this letter trustworthy?" Yu Ren summoned his confidants to study it.
"I think it's credible. He didn't say he wanted to surrender to us. He just asked us to go into the city and kill the elders of the Bai family. Without the emperor's consent, we couldn't capture Zhushan City even if we captured it. He was still loyal to Bai Yun. With his previous status
, such a reaction is within the reasonable scope." Cheng Bin felt that this was the result of countermeasures.
Zang Lian said carelessly: "Whether he is true or not, as long as he opens the south gate and I lead the elite to seize the city gate, there will be enough time for the army to enter the city. Even if there is an ambush, we can capture Zhushan City."
The leaders of the Kamikaze Brigade and the Jingjia Brigade also came to the central military tent to participate in the discussion. They looked at each other and nodded, indicating that they agreed with Zang Lian's statement.
Cheng Bin leaned back in his chair and said calmly: "Take Zhushan City and send 10,000 people to guard it. Then the entire army will return to support Shenfeng City. The only choice left for Bai Yun is to surrender or go to the grassland to resist.
Road. If she doesn’t want the thousand-year heritage of the Bai family to be destroyed, the only way she can go is to surrender and cease the war."
This sentence tickled Yu Ren's heart, "Okay, let's ask him to open the south gate tomorrow night. With the existing troops in the city, as long as we pay attention, the siege will fail at most, and there is no chance of a major defeat.
Yi Boquan sincerely lets us enter the city, and we can have a celebration banquet in the city tomorrow night."
On the seventh day of the war, the Kamikaze Castle troops were still shouting and cursing to the west, but the people sent there seemed listless and tired of this useless work. The city of Zhushan was very peaceful, and they didn't even bother to shoot cold arrows, and they had no intention of dealing with the people below the city.
enemy.
Both sides spent the long day calmly, with no casualties and no loss of ordnance, which became a vacuum period in the war.
As the sun went down, the Kamikaze City camp became busy. Thousands of scouts were sent out, in the direction of the area near the south gate of Zhushan City. They wanted to ensure that there were no ambushes or spies outside the south gate, and that the army could remain hidden when moving.
Seek merit but seek no fault.
When night completely enveloped the earth, 30,000 well-equipped troops, under the guidance of scouts, left the camp in the darkness without lighting any fires. They quietly walked around outside the south gate of Zhushan City and lurked under the command of officers at all levels.
in the dark.
Just before midnight, a row of rockets suddenly shot out from outside the south gate. The city gate was slowly opened, and a squadron of defenders walked out of the city gate. They circled outside the city gate, but the defenders did not return.
Instead, he walked toward the west gate. The south gate was wide open and showed no signs of closing.
