While Ye Cheng was recovering from his injuries in the military tent, a woman in black stood up from the frost-covered grass on the river bank where he had been attacked. Her beautiful eyes had lost much of their sparkle.
Even Ye Cheng didn't expect that this woman didn't run away, but used a strange ** to cover up her figure. She could only hide on the spot when she was seriously injured. It was really a bold and reckless act.
She trembled obviously, and the feeling of being invaded by the cold air was not good. The woman in black hurriedly swallowed a pill and sat cross-legged. Soon her face regained a trace of rosy. Then she stood up and looked.
Xiang Shuai's army camped and said in a cold voice: "This time, you are destined to be lucky. Next time, I will definitely cut you into pieces!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was no one on the river bank. Only the vegetation swaying from side to side seemed to prove that someone had indeed been here just now.
When the first ray of sunlight hit the ground, there was still no movement at the Young Marshal's camp, and groups of players were gathering outside the camp.
They kept queuing, and it was not until they completed twenty queues that they became quiet.
Xiaoxiang Yeyu turned his head and glanced at the camp where there was no movement at all. After taking a deep breath, he waved his hand violently, and the 20,000-strong army marched into Shuyang City in a mighty manner.
But at this time, there was another strange situation in Shuyang City. None of the players who had established gangs showed up, and the rest were just some stragglers. The largest team was no more than a hundred people, and there were even fewer scattered players. All of them were stragglers.
The total number of people is only a thousand.
The guard at the top of the city just cursed and then deployed his men. Soon there were hundreds of people on the four city walls, and there were still two thousand people in the city ready to support at any time. Once the main attack direction was discovered, they would be mobilized immediately.
However, after seeing the mighty army of 20,000 players, Li Xingyun on the city wall showed a trace of disdain. Although the number of 20,000 people was not small, it could not be compared to an army with thousands of elite soldiers and a strong city to rely on.
For example, as long as there are a thousand people, it is enough to wipe out this group of refugee legions.
I saw those well-trained soldiers on the city wall. They immediately set up their bows and arrows, trebuchets, heavy crossbows, and kerosene. They were just waiting for these cannon fodder to come over, and then kill them all bit by bit.
The city wall of Shuyang City is not high. It is only five feet high. As long as a top-level expert can climb over it with a hook lock, Tongtianhui has long been equipped with hook locks and the like.
Once you get to the bottom of the city wall, you can go up the wall.
Soon everyone's attention was drawn to the east gate. Xiaoxiang Yeyu waved his hand, and a man beside him kicked the horse in the belly. He ran out of the crowd and came to a square formation. He shouted loudly: "Gang leader.
There is an order to kill one Shuyang City lord to be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels of silver; to kill a hundred people, to be rewarded with five million taels of silver and to be promoted to the hall master!"
The extremely generous rewards made the eyes of the Tongtian Society shine with a blazing light. At this time, Shuyang City in their eyes was no longer a hell, but a golden mountain. Everything was based on strength.
With a wave of the leader's hand, these thousand people immediately rushed towards Shuyang City like tigers and wolves, fearing that if they were a moment late, the people in the city would be killed by others.
The distance of one hundred feet was only a few breaths away under the impact of the horses, and just when the player army rushed to the distance of fifty feet, the bows and arrows on the Shuyang city wall and the heavy crossbows fired in unison, and the sky seemed to darken at that moment.
.
"Shield protection!"
Shields of various styles were blocked above the head, and arrows rained down instantly.
"Boohoo!"
The sky-wide rain of arrows shot into the cavalry, like mowing grass, and a group of players fell down instantly. Although the player's shield could withstand some ordinary bows and arrows, under the dozens of heavy crossbows on the city wall, they were cut with paper.
There's no difference.
The heavy crossbow arrow, which was a foot long, took the body of the first person to be pierced, and shot through seven or eight people in a row, before its strength weakened and it penetrated into the ground.
Just after a wave of arrow rain passed, another wave of arrow rain came. This short distance of fifty feet became a death zone. When the Tongtian Society's gang members arrived at the city wall, less than three hundred of them were intact.
Seven hundred lives fell to the ground forever, and this was just a charge.
At this time, Xiaoxiang Yeyu seemed not to have seen it. He waved his hand again, and another person came out of the formation and charged away with a thousand soldiers and horses. This time, the team dispersed a little, and after two waves of arrows, they also rushed to the city wall.
Immediately, they flew out with grappling hooks and locks and began to climb the city wall.
The soldiers on the city wall immediately replaced their archers. The sword and shield men took a step forward to block the top of the wall. The spearmen behind them immediately thrust out along the gaps in the shields, just like a meat grinder, constantly harvesting and climbing up the city wall.
human life.
The players in Shuyang City were warned not to take action last night, so no one from the gang dared to take action. However, there were quite a few watching the excitement. On top of the tall towers in the city, they were all talking as if they were watching a show.
Many of them couldn't understand Tongtianhui's behavior of committing suicide like this.
Although the player's individual soldier ability is good, it is not difficult for one person to kill a few soldiers on the flat ground, but now it is a war, a battle with strict discipline and dense battle formations. Ordinary soldiers protected by this armor can be defeated when they get together.
He became a killing machine and no longer an ordinary person who was unable to fight back.
Charging under such circumstances is no different than sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. Even the stupidest gang leader should know this common sense, but Tongtianhui did the opposite.
After paying the lives of more than two thousand people, a group of people finally stormed the city, but the area was only a small area on the wall, and the results were accumulated with countless blood.
The entire east gate was stained with red blood. Under the attack of the Tongtian Society regardless of the cost, they finally achieved a little bit of military success, but it was far from what they paid for.
The first day of the siege ended with the Tongtian Club sacrificing the lives of more than 8,000 players. What the 8,000 people got back was only the lives of less than 500 defenders of Shuyang City. The gap of more than ten times made all Tongtian Club members lose their lives.
My bones ached.
In the military tent at night, there seemed to be something wrong with the way everyone looked at Ye Cheng. After all, it was their Tongtian Society who charged into the battle, and those who died were also members of the Tongtian Society. If this situation continues, tomorrow and another day, basically
The Tongtian Society existed in name only.
After a whole day's rest, Ye Cheng finally recovered from his injuries. After listening to Xiaoxiang Yeyu's explanation of the battle situation, he nodded and said: "We will continue to attack the east gate tomorrow! The young marshal from the south has not taken action yet, so they will not use all their men.
Mobilize them, so take advantage of the situation and attack fiercely, it will definitely have some effect!"
Xiaoxiang Yeyu said in a deep voice: "Brother Heishen, I heard that the young marshal sent a batch of ordnance, including ten trebuchets and ten heavy crossbows. I wonder if this is the case?"
Ye Cheng nodded and said: "Yes, these things have been sent, but I don't plan to use them now!"
"How long do we have to wait now? Are all the people in the Tongtian Society waiting for us to fight?"
"We are the ones attacking from the front, but you are leisurely here alone. Why don't you attack the city?"
"Enough!"
Xiaoxiang Yeyu yelled angrily, and the noisy crowd calmed down. Apparently, they were worried about Ye Cheng hiding the siege weapons and not using them, but letting the people of the Tongtian Society fight with their own flesh and blood. No one was a little bit dissatisfied.
balance.
Fortunately, Xiaoxiang Yeyu is also a person who does great things. He immediately stood up and said slowly: "Brother Heishen, my lax discipline makes you laugh, so we will attack the city the day after tomorrow!"
After a dozen people left, Ye Cheng asked quietly: "Young Marshal has already set off, right?"
Jiao Hongjin on the side nodded and said: "Yes, sir! He left with four thousand elites, and the remaining two thousand people are still in the south to confuse the city's sight, so we sent the successful ordnance here!"
Ye Cheng nodded and said, "Have everything been placed?"
"Everything is in place, just wait for the people from the East China Sea to fall into the urn!"
"Okay, tonight you will lead a thousand men from your headquarters to ambush, and notify the people in the south of the city. At dawn the day after tomorrow, all will move to the west gate and prepare for a storm!"
"Yes, little one, let's do it right now!"
Ye Cheng walked outside the camp, looked at the sparse starry sky, and knew that it was almost time to take action.
The next day, the people of Tongtianhui still died, and even the players in the city were too lazy to watch. There is no need to ask about the outcome. Although there are only four to five thousand defenders, but if the players want to capture it, they must have all the equipment.
, at least 30,000 people are needed. Like Tongtianhui, 100,000 people should be able to capture Shuyang City.
The second day's siege battle was even more brutal than the first day's. The Tongtian Society's gang members all charged into the city desperately. After a group of them were defeated, the defenders of Shuyang City were finally defeated.
The army mobilized reserve troops to come to support.
Ye Cheng listened to the battle report with a smile on his face. This was the effect he wanted. Even if the resistance in Shuyang City was strong, after all, it was just a small city with four to five thousand defenders. If it were replaced by a major town like Zhongli,
He definitely wouldn't dare to attack by force.
Soon, two thousand people from the south of the city also arrived, led by Xuanyong. With the troops united in this way, there were finally 2,500 people. Of course, the defenders who were trapped in Shuyang City did not know the current situation.
After another day of bloody battle, Tongtian Society collapsed, and those who were left with the strength to fight, less than 4,000 people, were the only remaining fruits. No matter how calm Xiaoxiang Yeyu was, facing this situation
, and also mentally exhausted.
Ye Cheng said slowly: "Brother Xiaoxiang, I will attack the city with you tomorrow, let me see your true strength!"
Xiaoxiang Yeyu took a long breath, nodded vigorously and said: "I hope Brother Hei Shen's plan will succeed, and I don't want the 20,000 brothers in the Tongtian Society to die in vain!"
"Don't worry, your death will not be in vain. After tomorrow, the Tongtian Society will have more Donghai and Shuyang cities. It will grow again and it will be just around the corner!"
Ye Cheng walked out of the big tent. The recruits who had followed him all the way from Huainan City had matured a lot. They were much stronger than the two thousand men brought by Xuanyong. This was the only manpower he could rely on to succeed or fail.
