"The first to eighth squadrons are stationed on the city wall. The rest of you take the guys you have and follow me out to dig holes!"
After exchanging soldiers, Bai Xiaofei directly issued the first order.
An order that confused everyone.
Go directly out of town?
seek death?!
But these people soon shut up, because Bai Xiaofei was really not seeking death!
Sixty percent of the people came directly to the outside of the city wall. Starting from the bottom of the city wall, Bai Xiaofei's people dug trenches enthusiastically. During this period, the people on the city wall kept watch.
And his actions naturally did not escape the eyes of Sima Ye who was paying attention to him. Although he didn't want to do it during the day, Sima Ye had no choice at all!
In desperation, Sima Ye's troops pressed forward, with the infantry carrying huge shields in front, the archers in the back, and the catapults at the back. Of course, they did not dare to advance too far, as long as they could reach the bottom of the city wall.
.
In fact, considering Bai Xiaofei's actions at this time, the most mobile cavalry is the best choice, but Sima Ye is not stupid enough to use his few troop points to exchange for cavalry in a siege battle!
Therefore, at this time, he can only settle for the next best thing!
"Alert! Enemy attack!"
The city wall has a wide field of vision, and Sima Ye's approaching troops were immediately spotted.
"Pass my order, everyone, hide in the newly dug trenches on the spot, and the giant shield soldiers carry their shields! The rest continue to dig! The trebuchets are on full fire! The archers are ready to launch!"
Bai Xiaofei roared at the city wall behind him. Under the rush of the messengers, the simple order was immediately transmitted to the other three sides.
As mentioned before, the shooting range on the city wall is much greater than that on the ground, so before Sima Ye's troops advanced to within sufficient shooting range, the trebuchets and archers on the city wall had already launched an attack.
After just one round of attacks, Sima Ye completely gave up the idea of letting the soldiers advance. After suffering some casualties, everyone retreated decisively, but the catapults began to perform.
Well, it is indeed a performance...
Stones that seemed completely deadly in normal times did not have any impact on the soldiers under the trenches. Think about it, our ancestors relied on trenches to carry even bombs, let alone catapults that could not hit them without causing any harm.
Already...
In the end, after two rounds of stone throwing, the number of injured people on Bai Xiaofei's side was less than double digits, and they were all minor injuries, and the work of digging trenches was still going on in an intense and orderly manner!
"The infantry advanced in disarray! After consuming their stone throws, I don't believe that he exchanged all his troop points for defensive supplies!"
Realizing that throwing stones was useless, Sima Ye decisively changed his plan. It was impossible for him to watch Bai Xiaofei dig trenches. Otherwise, when they rushed to the city wall, those trenches would be extremely deadly to him!
Following Sima Ye's order, the soldiers began to rush towards the city in the same way as the attackers in the fourth level. As long as they could get close, Bai Xiaofei would not die or be disabled with multiple troops!
"The enemy is advancing in disarray!"
The lookout soldiers on the city wall shouted again, and Bai Xiaofei under the city wall showed a smile.
I really think I am a fool. I suffered a loss once and will I suffer a second time?
"The trebuchet stopped attacking, and the archers changed their projectiles to direct shots. Come closer and hit me!"
Bai Xiaofei yelled out another command that confused all the onlookers.
Put it closer to hit?
Do you really think that the other side is a soft persimmon? You can pinch it as much as you want?
But the soldiers were not confused and immediately followed Bai Xiaofei's words. For them, Bai Xiaofei's words were imperial edicts!
Sima Ye, who was on the other side, was slightly startled when he saw this scene. He was not naive enough to think that Bai Xiaofei had given up. If this happened, it could only mean that Xiaofei had thought of a way to deal with this kind of attack.
However, Sima Ye couldn't think of what this solution was!
But he soon found out, in a way that made him heartbroken!
"Close enough!"
The city wall shouted again, and the archers began to show off their power at the same time.
"Eat them all for me!"
Bai Xiaofei roared, and then, a sound like shaking a mountain came from the city gate. The next second, a troop that scared everyone rushed out of the door.
cavalry!!!
I rely on you, uncle!
You damn city defense battle exchange for cavalry?!!!
Well, I just changed it!
What followed was a horrific massacre. The infantry advancing in scattered formations were just living targets for the cavalry. They could be cut down no matter how hard they attacked. Although Bai Xiaofei's troops were limited and he did not change too many, and they were divided into four sides, but he
It’s still a guaranteed profit!
What's more, Sima Ye, who is now riding a tiger and unable to dismount, can do nothing but watch his infantry being hacked to death one after another!
"Ming Jin withdraws his troops! Retreat as much as you can!"
Sima Ye, whose heart was bleeding, shouted the words he least wanted to shout. In the end, less than 30% of the soldiers who rushed out came back.
Bai Xiaofei, on the other hand, had no intention of fighting at all, and did not pursue him for a step longer. Once he reached the shooting range of the archers on the opposite side, he asked the cavalry to retreat.
These are all treasures!
If one dies, one will be missing!
They will need to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds later!
After the soldiers withdrew, Sima Ye's face turned completely green. He thought about all Bai Xiaofei's arrangements from the beginning to now. He thought of everything he could think of, but he didn't expect Bai Xiaofei to have so many clever ideas.
And he also came up with ways to deal with various situations!
In comparison, his preparation can only be described as ridiculous.
Just like now, he is at the end of his rope!
Unless he was willing to expend a lot of troops to rush forward, he couldn't think of any way to stop Bai Xiaofei.
But in that case, maybe that's what Bai Xiaofei wants, to maximize the effectiveness of his city defense equipment! Sima Ye can't afford that kind of loss of troops!
Therefore, watching Bai Xiaofei dig the trench longer and farther is the only thing he can do now!
Because, it’s not time to reveal your trump card yet!
At this time, Bai Xiaofei on the trench position was humming a tune happily, without any sign of nervousness at all.
This kind of city defense battle is much simpler than imagined.
There is no need to consider the people in the city, because there are none!
There is no need to consider multiple sources of support, because there is only one enemy!
There is no need to consider unexpected factors, because he already knows the details of his opponent!
There is no need to even consider long-term development, because he only has to hold on for three days!
There is only one thing to do!
Soldiers will come to block it, water will come and earth will cover it!
However, what Bai Xiaofei didn't know was that people outside had already exploded because of the first round of confrontation between the two.
The invincible Sima Ye was at a disadvantage!
This is definitely the first time they have seen Sima Ye deflated!
Are they going to witness a big boss fall from the altar with their own eyes?!
