Gandila wanted to clear the trap and then launch an attack, but this was Gandila's wishful thinking. Wang Can had already predicted this series of deductions, so when Gandila's soldiers dealt with the trap, Wang Can
Ordered: "Archers, prepare!"
The archers, who were already holding bows, were all in position inside the camp.
These archers are extremely powerful.
When Wang Can selected archers, he only pursued strength and speed, not accuracy. Because archers shoot intensively, they do not need the accuracy of bows and arrows, but only need intensive harvesting.
"Fire the arrow!"
Wang Can gave the order boldly.
"Buzz!!"
The bowstring vibrated, and soon after, arrows flew out like meteors, drawing an arc in the air and falling towards the soldiers of Rhodes City who were clearing the trap. Hundreds of bows and arrows fell, forming a wave of arrow rain.
This scene frightened the troops of Rhodes City who were clearing the dangerous situation into panic.
"Run, run!"
"The bow and arrow are coming, hide, hide quickly."
"withdraw!"
…
The sounds came and went one after another. These soldiers in Rhodes City were still panicking. They had attacked hard before, but they encountered a trap, so that the offensive was completely lost. Now they were clearing the trap, but they were suddenly shot by bows and arrows. One by one quickly
He ran away like a frightened bird, but his running speed was finally a step slower.
The bows and arrows are dense and falling quickly.
"Puch! Plop!"
Bows and arrows shot into the bodies of the soldiers in Rhodes City.
Immediately, countless people were hit by arrows. After the soldiers who were hit by arrows fell to the ground, they were stepped on by the panicked soldiers. Some were trampled to death, and some were more seriously injured.
Under the intensive attack of bows and arrows, even though the soldiers of Rhodes City dispersed, nearly a hundred people were still hit by bows and arrows and killed directly by bows and arrows after a wave of attacks.
"Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Bows and arrows, dense as a rain, kept flying out.
Rhodes City soldiers, retreat quickly.
For Maiti City, they only used up their bows and arrows, not a single soldier. They also shot and killed the Rhodes City soldiers. Everyone was excited. When they looked at Wang Can, their eyes were full of awe and respect.
The city of Maiti is in high spirits, but the city of Rhodes is gloomy.
The corners of Gandila's mouth twitched slightly, with a look of deep anger on his face.
In the past, his fights were extremely smooth.
Wherever the army passed, it was invincible. Even if there was resistance, no one could stop his attack after a fight. But now, the situation has changed here. Even if he has 6,000 elite soldiers, the city of Maiti camped in front
The army is like an iron wall. No matter how he attacks, he can't move forward one step.
The most important thing is that hundreds of soldiers under his command have died, and the total has exceeded six to seven hundred, but up to now, not a single soldier has been lost in Maiti City.
Such a record is infuriating.
Kumar was standing not far away. He looked at this scene and immediately said: "General, I have a plan to defeat the enemy."
"What's the plan?"
Gandila promised: "As long as we can break through the camp of Maiti City, destroy Nibru, and then capture Wang Can, I can recommend you to be the new lord of Maiti City."
Now the situation is worrying, so Gandila made a big promise.
When Kumar heard this, he immediately became excited.
He has surrendered to Rhodes City, and he and Rhodes City will both prosper and lose, so he can only stand on the side of Rhodes City. Even if Gandila does not give a heavy reward, Kumar must serve Rhodes City.
Because he can no longer return to Maiti City.
If he could become the lord of Maiti City, Kumar would be happy to do so.
Kumar said: "General, since Wang Can has arranged for archers to shoot to prevent us from clearing the traps, why should we dispatch shield soldiers to escort them? As long as we clear the traps and conquer the Maiti City camp, it will be
It’s very easy.”
When Gandila heard this, his eyes lit up.
Kumar's suggestion is actually a good strategy.
Gandila stroked his beard under his chin and said: "Kumar, as long as your strategy can succeed, I will be rewarded heavily. The promise just made will definitely be fulfilled."
"Thank you General!"
Kumar was excited.
He looked at Wang Can's camp, his eyes flashing with light.
He will win this battle.
When he left the city of Mati, he left in despair. He was abandoned by Nibru and was an abandoned son. When he returned this time, he must return home in fine clothes, make all those who looked down on him pay the price, and take revenge on all those who have wronged him.
His people.
This is Kumar's idea.
Gandila quickly ordered.
Not long after, shield soldiers came forward. These soldiers held shields and formed small group battle formations. The soldiers performed their duties, and shields were erected above and in front of all the soldiers to prevent bows and arrows from shooting.
Even if the bow and arrow come quickly, it is extremely difficult to shoot through the shield.
Gandila said: "Go ahead and clear the trap again."
When the soldiers who had previously cleared the traps saw this, they quickly moved forward and cleared every trap under the protection of the shield soldiers.
Gandila even took a breath and said loudly: "Wang Can, I let the shield soldiers protect me, how are you going to deal with it now? You are a talented person, surrender now, I will be able to recommend you to the city lord. If you
If you don't surrender, you will definitely die."
There was confidence and pride in his voice.
It was said that he was recruiting Wang Can, but it was more of a show off.
When Wang Can heard this, he smiled coldly.
At this moment, Nibru didn't know how Wang Can would respond, and asked: "Mr. Wang, bows and arrows cannot penetrate shields. As long as there are shields, our archers will be ineffective. What should we do now? Do we want to retreat?"
?”
"No retreat!"
Wang Can said: "This kind of trivial trick is difficult to achieve the level of elegance."
Nibru said: "How to crack it?"
Wang Can said: "Catapult soldiers, prepare!"
Wang Can issued the order again.
As Wang Can's order was issued, only catapults were transported out. However, these so-called catapults were not the catapults of Shu. They were not as sophisticated as the catapults of Shu. They simply used the principle of leverage to throw stones.
Even though it is extremely simple, it appears for the first time in Maiti City.
There are no catapults in the entire Magadha Kingdom.
When Nibru and Haji saw it, they looked surprised and couldn't understand how the catapult could kill the enemy.
Wang Can is extremely confident.
When he first formulated a strategy and arranged for people to forge iron caltrops, he also arranged for people to make simple catapults. Since it was a defense, he had to make preparations in all aspects, and Wang Can had enough backup.
Wang Can glanced over and saw that each catapult had been loaded with stones. He immediately ordered: "Attack!"
"Cang Dang! Cang Dang!"
One by one, the soldiers exerted their strength and used levers to eject the large rocks.
"Hoo! Hoo!"
Stones flew out from the camp and were thrown in the direction of the shield soldiers. The stones weighed one to two hundred kilograms. If this amount was placed on the shields held by all the soldiers, the soldiers of Rhodes City could easily carry them.
rise.
However, it was hit hard.
When the stone was thrown down with great force, it was so heavy that no one could hold it back.
"boom!!"
The first stone hit the shield where the soldiers gathered.
In an instant, the shields were scattered, and each soldier vomited blood and fell to the ground. Some soldiers were hit by stones, and their burly bodies were turned into meat, and even their appearance could not be seen.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!!"
Continuous crashing sounds came and went.
Attacking with big rocks, the shield soldiers sent by Rhodes City were completely defeated. After the shield soldiers were defeated, the soldiers of Rhodes City who cleared the trap were exposed. Wang Can asked the archers to harvest another wave. Waiting for the soldiers of Rhodes City
After retreating, Wang Can gave the order to stop the attack.
At this time, Wang Can still did not send a single soldier.
Among the three thousand elites of Maiti City, not one person was lost.
However, the soldiers under Gandila's command have lost more than a thousand people in this short period of time. Of the six thousand elite soldiers, there are now less than five thousand left. Such losses made Gandila angry.
Endless.
This is not the result Gandila wanted.
Gandila was showing off quite proudly just now, but at this moment she was full of bitterness.
Kumar's strategy still failed.
Wang Can said loudly: "Gandila, why don't you attack? Don't you have shield soldiers? The shield soldiers under your command are powerful, why don't you continue to attack. I'm here, waiting for you to come. Unfortunately, you don't
Dare to come."
His words were full of sarcasm.
Wang Can has never been a submissive person, nor is he someone who can swallow his anger.
Gandila had previously ridiculed and showed off, but now he counterattacked swiftly.
Now the rhythm of the battlefield is in Wang Can's hands.
Therefore, Wang Can is not worried at all.
Gandila listened to Wang Can's arrogant words and said nothing with a dark face. He looked at Kumar and said coldly: "Kumar, is this your excellent strategy? Your strategy met Wang Can's
, it’s simply not worth mentioning.”
When Kumar heard this, he was embarrassed and even more angry.
He doesn't think he is weak by Wang Can.
Kumar said: "General, although Wang Can used stones to hit our soldiers, his stones are limited after all, and he cannot attack all the time. Although he failed just now, as long as he continues to attack, he will definitely win."
At this moment, Kumar couldn't think of a better way.
Therefore, Kumar proposed another attack.
After Gandila heard this, he glared at Kumar and said, "What nonsense suggestions you have are totally inapplicable."
Kumar felt aggrieved after being scolded.
There is absolutely no problem with the strategy he proposed. The key is that Gandila failed to do it well, which led to the current results. But now it is extremely normal for Gandila to put the blame on him.
Gandila stopped paying attention to Kumar, and his eyes fell on Wang Can with sinister eyes. His army was actually blocked by Wang Can, which was really infuriating.
"What should I do?"
Gandila was very hesitant.
Although Kumar felt aggrieved, he could not let Gandila take risks and said: "General, the situation is not good now. According to the advice of my humble position, we will retreat for the time being. We will first distance ourselves from the army in Maiti City, and then consider ways to counterattack."
Gandila said: "It seems that this is the only way."
At this moment, Gandila felt a little discouraged.
He did not expect that attacking a mere Maiti city would generate such great resistance. (To be continued)
