"Does Shadow Tiger have night combat training?" Jin Yao suddenly looked at Ji Bu and asked.
Ji Bu shook his head. Most of the soldiers in this era were not well nourished. They suffered from severe night blindness and could not see at all at night. Therefore, although the Shadow Tiger Legion also had night training, it was more about defending against enemy sneak attacks rather than attacking.
.
Jin Yao looked at Eleven.
"There is a kind of Gu insect in Baiyue that can provide its owner with vision at night. Although it cannot be the same as during the day, it can see things within three feet clearly!" Eleven explained.
After hearing what Eleven said, Ji Bu knew that the hundred men under his command were finished and would not survive tonight!
Jin Yao looked at Eleven and Wolf Guard at this time, and thought more. No wonder the number of Wolf Guards is so rare, because each of them is a warrior selected from hundreds of thousands of people, a natural warrior. According to the special forces and the king of soldiers,
To cultivate.
Maybe they are not good at large-scale battles, but fighting alone, the Shadow Tiger Army was completely defeated!
"Declaring it over!" Jin Yao didn't want Ji Bu to lose too badly, so he ordered a gold medal to recall Wolf Guard and Shadow Tiger.
When Eleven heard Jin Yao's words, he was obviously relieved. He walked out of the camp and came to the mountain forest. He played a piccolo that imitated the call of a bird. The sound lasted three times, three long and two short.
Ji Bu also sounded the gong to call for gold to retreat.
Soon, shadow tiger soldiers and wolf guards emerged from the woods in twos and threes.
"It's over? We won?" The remaining members of the Shadow Tiger Legion thought they had won, and the Wolf Guard was killed by other robes.
Hearing this, Ji Bu's face turned extremely ugly. If your Majesty hadn't ordered your troops to withdraw, you would have been completely wiped out. How can you still win?
The Wolf Guard walked back behind Eleven in confusion and whispered, "Give us a little more time, and they will all die!"
"Don't talk nonsense, we are all our brothers, Pao Ze!" Eleven hurriedly stopped Wolf Guard's words.
"Let's all go back and rest. We'll return to Longcheng in three days!" Jin Yao didn't care about how Ji Bu educated Yinghu after that, and turned around and left the school grounds.
"Here!" Everyone saluted and returned to their tents.
But everyone also knows that in this battle, the Shadow Tiger Legion will suffer a heavy blow!
"Don't laugh either. If it were us, it would be no better than the Shadow Tiger Army!" Yingbu had actually been watching, putting himself in his shoes and replacing the Shadow Tiger Army with the Dragon Guard, and found that it was really not much better.
Three days later, Jin Yao returned to Dragon City first and saw Chen Xian and Wu Rui waiting at the door.
"How is the situation?" Jin Yao asked as he walked.
"Xiang Yan returned to Songyang City with his army, renovated Songyang City, and turned Songyang City into a military formation."
"During your absence, Xiang Yan has been sending small groups of troops to conduct tentative attacks."
"We followed the strategy you made before you left. We only pushed back the enemy troops and did not engage in a head-on battle with Xiang Yan." Wu Rui hurriedly summarized the recent military situation briefly.
Jin Yao nodded.
"However, Xiang Yan cut off our trade routes, making it impossible for caravans from all over the place to come. The leaders of each caravan also came and asked many times!" Chen Xian said.
Jin Yao nodded again. As expected, Dragon City lacked everything. Cutting off the merchants also meant cutting off the lifeblood of Dragon City.
"The Dragon Guard and Shadow Tiger Legion are already on their way back, so next, prepare for a big battle. Xiang Yan will definitely attack before the Dragon Guard returns!" Jin Yao said solemnly.
The advantage now is still in the hands of Chu State, and Xiang Yan will definitely not give Longcheng a chance to wait for the return of Longwei.
In this way, Chu State would have even less chance to destroy Dragon City.
"What are the Xiang clan people doing?" Jin Yao continued to ask.
"Farming normally!" Chen Xian replied.
Naturally, they would not be without any precautions. As for using the Xiang clan members as threats to threaten Xiang Yan not to attack, Longcheng would not be able to do such a thing.
Even if they did it, with Xiang Yan's character, it would be impossible to compromise with them, so it would be better not to do it than to get a bad reputation for nothing.
Sure enough, as the information about the end of the Cangwu War came back to Shouchun and reached Xiang Yan, Xiang Yan really couldn't sit still.
Less than three days after Jin Yao returned to Longcheng, Xiang Yan made a desperate move and led his army to advance towards Longcheng.
Jin Yao did not send any troops to stop it, and could not stop it. He chose to stick to Dragon City and wait for the return of the Dragon Guard.
It was different from the previous battles. In the past, Xiang Yan did not want his army to suffer serious losses, so he advanced slowly. Now, this is a desperate attack on Dragon City at all costs.
Therefore, Jin Yao has no better way.
Even if he can send a large army to stop it, the result will be that both sides will suffer losses, and then Dragon City will fall!
This is the most fundamental method of warfare, to use force to overwhelm others!
"Strengthen the walls and clear the country, and let the people of Dragon City withdraw to Dragon City!" Jin Yao issued the order.
All the people and soldiers of Longcheng were taken back to Longcheng, and they stood firm in Longcheng and waited for the arrival of Xiang Yan's army.
At this time, any tactics have lost their meaning.
Xiang Yan and his troops were attacking Dragon City day after day, while Dragon City was defending day and night. It was up to them to see who could withstand it first.
"If this had happened earlier, Dragon City would have been gone long ago!" Jin Yao stood on the city wall to comfort the soldiers and said while looking at the rainbow-colored flags below the city.
What if Xiang Yan didn't think about reducing the battle losses at the beginning, but directly pressed the entire army and stormed Dragon City.
Longcheng couldn't wait for him to lead his army back, and there would be no defection from Ying Hu.
But we can't say that Xiang Yan was wrong. After all, Chu's biggest enemy is Qin. If the battle with Dragon City exhausts the army, what can Chu do to resist Qin's attack?
Xiang Yan was also very bitter and helpless. In fact, after receiving the intelligence of Cangwu's defeat, he wanted to lead his army to withdraw, but Shouchun insisted on regaining Longcheng, Jiujiang and Dongting.
Under the night, in the Dragon City, under the shadows, there were more black shadows, avoiding the patrolling military princes, and sneaking towards the city gate.
Soon, intensive gongs and drums sounded, and many houses in Dragon City were on fire. The gongs and drums also covered up the sound of intelligence about the enemy attack at the gate of the city.
"Li Yang, follow me to the city gate!" Jin Yao looked ugly, took his personal guards and rushed directly towards the east city gate.
Now he is not sure whether the East City Gate is still under the control of Long Wei.
Chen Xian and Wu Rui also looked ugly. The one who opened the east city gate was none other than the Xiang family and the nobles from Jiujiang!
They thought that over the years, they had made each other put aside their grudges and truly recognized themselves as citizens of Longcheng. However, they did not expect that this group of people were still dreaming of being landlords with a high degree of autonomy.
By the time Jin Yao and his personal guards arrived at the east city gate, the city gate had been lost and was filled with Chu troops pouring in, as well as dragon guards coming from other places to come to the rescue.
Both sides were fighting for the ownership of the city gate at the risk of their lives, and started hand-to-hand combat in the streets and alleys at the city gate.
