In the evening of the next day, Fang Fan sat on the back of the dragon elephant and quietly looked at the heavily guarded Chen Liu in the distance.
Chen Liu had already discovered the massive Ning'an Army, and Fang Fan could vaguely see the ant-sized men on the wall mobilizing urgently.
There were no accidents during this day's journey. Apart from encountering a few mixed herds with human signs, the army did not encounter any other ambushes.
Perhaps Guo Jia once led his army here, but left quietly, leaving only a few small teams to slow down the Ning'an army.
Xu Shu stood on the elevated road and looked at the villages thousands of meters away. There were countless phantoms in his eyes. Data flashed through his mind. In his mind, groups of soldiers were attacking Chenliu Village one after another.
Time and time again, the methods are different and the results are different.
After a long time, I closed my eyes tiredly and waved my hand.
"Set up camp and launch an siege tomorrow morning!"
"yes!"
The entire army moved in instantly, alerted, defended, and efficiently built simple camps.
At the top of Chenliu City, Cao Cao looked at the Ning'an Army outside the village with a cold face. Behind him, Guo Jia also looked over there with a stern face.
And when he saw the Ning'an Army choosing to camp, Guo Jia's face became even more ugly.
"Lord, the other party's command is very difficult."
"Is it Chen Gong?"
Cao Cao's voice was extremely cold, as if pregnant with endless murderous intent.
"Looking at the way of marching and the habits of building camps, it is not Chen Gong, but Xu Yuanzhi, the concubine who joined Ning'an Village some time ago."
Cao Cao did not speak, but tightened his hands on the sword at his waist.
"Originally I was not very familiar with this Xu Shu, but now it seems that this Xu Shu is probably as talented as me.
The layout along the way is extremely stable, with no flaws and no offensive style. In comparison, we are more like the offensive party.
He does not seek merit, only no faults. Before attacking, he is like a hedgehog that has been curled up, making it difficult for people to start.
And when he takes action, I'm afraid it will be a thunderous blow."
"In other words, we have no way to deal with him and can only be beaten passively?"
Cao Cao's voice sounded, and Guo Jia could hear the deep suppressed anger in it. Cao Cao had never felt so aggrieved in his life.
Although he could hear Cao Cao's anger, Guo Jia could only say with a bitter look on his face.
"Yes, I have never seen such a steady person. He clearly has the advantage, but he is still so cautious, as if he is afraid of us, afraid that we will annihilate him in one fell swoop."
"My lord, Mr. Guo, it is true. Fang Fan, the head of Ning'an Village, is a living person, and my lord, Mr. Guo's reputation is basically well-known in this world, and Fang Fan must have heard of it.
And most of his men are living people. Facing the Lord, Mr. Guo is naturally very cautious and does not dare to relax at all, because they are really afraid that Mr. Guo will defeat the strong with the weak and kill them."
Hearing this, Guo Jia smiled bitterly, with a complicated expression on his face.
"Is our reputation so great?"
"One of the most dazzling people of the entire era."
This person replied like this.
Guo Jia, the smile on Cao Cao's face became more sarcastic and dazzling.
.......
In the early morning, the two people who retreated came to the wall at the same time, but when they saw the brightly lit and heavily guarded Ning'an camp, they had no choice but to retreat.
In the early morning, Fang Fan woke up from practicing and looked at Xu Shu who was busy. Needless to say, he knew from the grease on his face and tired look that he might have stayed up all night.
In this regard, Fang Fan didn't have anything to say, so he just took out two spiritual fruits from his space wristband and handed them to him.
"My lord, I deserve this."
"Only by maintaining your best condition can you be loyal to me and win this battle for me."
"Lord, I..."
"The elders give it to you, but you don't dare to refuse it. If it's mine, do you dare to do it?"
Hearing this, Xu Shu no longer refused, took the spiritual fruit, drank it, sat down cross-legged, and entered a state of cultivation.
The medicinal properties of the spirit fruit were quickly absorbed by him. The fatigue between his eyebrows dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. After a while, Xu Shu stood up in high spirits.
Seeing this, Fang Fan nodded and motioned for him to continue, while he stood aside.
After burying pots to make rice, repairing equipment, and making all preparations, Xu Shu issued the order.
"attack!"
"drink!"
Xu Shu gave an order, and the whole army shouted loudly. Their breath broke through the sky, their fighting spirit was fierce, and their military spirit filled the air.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In front of the formation, a hundred people wearing heavy armor and holding heavy shields as high as a man stepped forward step by step.
The uniform steps created a huge momentum, enveloping the military spirit above the head and pressing down heavily.
Seeing this, some of the weak-willed Chen Liu Murakami's eyes became dull, their hands and feet became weak, and they subconsciously took two steps back.
"Run, you can't beat me, so run quickly."
Suddenly, someone shouted on the city wall, and several people collapsed, discarded their weapons, and ran back.
The shouts of several people instantly caused a commotion on the city wall, and the entire city wall lost its defensive power. If an army attacked at this time, it would be able to easily gain a foothold on the city wall.
However, Xu Shu just watched with cold eyes, the data flow in his eyes never stopped, and the entire army moved forward steadily and slowly under his control.
Guo Jia looked at the unchanged army, with a hint of pity in his eyes, and waved his hand.
"Supervise the team, kill!"
"As commanded."
As soon as he finished speaking, a team of swordsmen rushed out and beheaded several deserters in an instant. After beheading them, they raised their heads high and shouted loudly.
"Deserts will be killed without mercy!!"
Everyone on the city wall heard this and felt the cold gazes behind them. They trembled all over and their slow retreating steps stopped. They could only look at the advancing army with a fierce look on their faces.
At the same time, a small team instantly made up for the loopholes that had appeared before, without any gaps.
But Xu Shu just watched with cold eyes, without any confusion, and the army continued to advance under the protection of heavy armored infantry.
Soon, the army had advanced to a key node, four hundred meters.
Four hundred meters is a very subtle distance. At the position of four hundred meters, the headquarters including Xu Shu and Fang Fan stopped.
At the same time, the carts behind them quickly unfolded, and crossbow carts appeared among the army one after another. The thick iron crossbow arrows emitted a cold light in the sun, making people feel fearful.
The simple and mysterious runes on it are not contradictory at all, as if this is how it is.
There are a total of five ballistae, four of which don't have many runes on them. Only the middle ballistae is extraordinarily huge, with intricate inscriptions densely engraved on it, making it dazzling.
"Win the string!"
Xu Shu's cold words sounded, and the winches were twisted by the soldiers. With the joint efforts of several pulley groups, all the crossbow strings were pulled apart.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The ballistae made tiny sounds one after another, full of powerful texture.
As a self-made bone crossbow in the village, there is naturally no problem that it cannot be used without filling it with a beast soul.
The Bone Ballista, if you don't use the beast soul, will be weaker at best, but it's not completely unusable.
"Fill it!"
One by one, arm-thick fine iron crossbows were put into the grooves, four small crossbows with three arrows, and core large crossbows with five, for a total of seventeen fine iron crossbow arrows.
