Chapter 4751: Retreat the enemy with zero injuries
There were several mountains around. Xiang Chen led people to explore one after another, but no mountains containing iron ore were found. Until they reached the east mountain of Xuanwu City, Xiang Chen led some people to the foot of this mountain.
A stream slowly flows down from the mountain. This mountain looks beautiful with clear waters and beautiful scenery.
Xiang Chen came to the creek, scooped up a mouthful of water and put it into his mouth to taste.
This time, Xiang Chen's eyes lit up, and he felt a metallic smell in the stream.
Xiang Chen jumped into the river, scooped up a handful of river sand, and found a lot of black sand and iron ore in the river sand.
"Someone is coming!"
"Sir!" A soldier came over immediately.
Xiang Chen ordered: "Gather people together and start digging along this river. Gather the iron ore you find and transport it back to the city."
The soldier glanced at the iron sand, nodded, and immediately sent for someone.
Soon after, thousands of people came to the foot of the mountain and started mining vigorously.
The wood on the mountain was not wasted and was later cut down and transported back to the city.
Everyone is developing their own military strength, and some weird ones have their armies split due to famine and civil strife due to improper management.
There was even an unlucky Taichu who, because of mistreating his soldiers, was killed by his subordinates because of rebellion, and was directly eliminated from the game.
However, there are only a few such weirdos. Most of them, like Xiang Chen, started to develop their own army in an extremely orderly manner.
However, while they were all building cold weapons, Xiang Chen had already started asking people to search for saltpeter, sulfur, and make charcoal.
Time passed, and a few days later, a large amount of iron ore was transported into the city.
Xiang Chen also asked people to make high-chimney furnaces, and began to smelt iron and make tools and knives.
Soon after, the sound of clanking, clanging, clanking, and clanking was often heard in the city.
For many things, Xiang Chen personally taught them how to forge iron, how to smelt it, and how to make tools.
As for the moat outside the city, it took tens of thousands of people to dig it in just four days, and a large number of traps were placed in it.
Miners in Dongshan also dug out black grease. It was oil that dug out oil.
However, oil is of little use to the current civilization. Once it is dug out, oil tanks can only be built and can only be stored.
Half a month later, a roar came from the plain in the distance, and a large number of figures appeared on the plain,
Many of these people were armed with sharp wooden spears and stone tools polished from stone, but only a very small number of them always had iron tools.
Led by a man on horseback, they numbered 100,000 people and attacked Xiang Chen's city.
They are people from Twilight City, the Lord of Twilight City, and a strong man from the Taichu Holy Emperor realm who came to participate in the competition.
Although the city he was in had natural dangers that could be defended, there was not enough food. The food soon ran out, so he set his sights on Xiang Chen, a Xuanwu city rich in food.
"Enemy attack, there is an enemy attack!"
On the watchtower, soldiers sounded the gong, and the harsh sound of the gong echoed.
People in Xuanwu City who heard this sound climbed up the city wall one after another, some holding iron weapons, and some holding spears that were also wooden weapons.
In the city, a sledgehammer was being wielded and the iron was clanking. Xiang Chen, who was naked from the waist up, raised his sword eyebrows when he heard this, put the unfinished knife embryo in his hand next to him, and ordered: "Send the order, and all departments will immediately turn into combat troops!"
"promise!"
His personal bodyguards immediately went to deliver the order.
Xiang Chen put on his armor, picked up the iron knife he made in the shape of Dragon Fault, and quickly headed towards the city.
Outside the city, a hundred thousand troops came in force. Most of them were armed with wooden spears, a few were armed with iron weapons, and wooden bows and spears. They looked a bit nondescript.
"You dare to attack the city with this equipment. It seems that there is a problem with the logistics supply. You want to come to me to grab food."
Xiang Chen looked at this group of people and thought to himself.
The Lord of Twilight City was riding on a horse, brandishing the iron sword in his hand, and shouted: "Whoever attacks the city first and kills on the city will be promoted to general! You will be rewarded with a thousand catties of food."
"kill!"
At his command, 100,000 people roared and began to charge. The crowd rushed in, and the scene was quite spectacular.
"Archers prepare!"
Xiang Chen waved his hand, and a large number of archers holding wooden bows and wooden arrows began to open their bows and nock arrows, aiming downwards.
When the opponent charges to within two hundred steps.
"put!"
At Xiang Chen's order, a large number of wooden arrows were shot out in an instant, and the arrowheads were polished stone points.
Thousands of arrows were fired together, and they were thrown towards the charging army below.
A whooshing sound broke through the air. The Twilight soldiers in front raised their wooden shields to protect themselves. The arrows hit the wooden shields and made countless banging sounds.
There were also people who fell down wailing after being hit by arrows, and were trampled to death by those charging from behind.
When they were about to charge to the bottom of the city, the ground suddenly sank and the ground cracked. Thousands of people in front stepped on the ground and fell into the city moat.
The city moat paved with straw now showed its fangs.
The people who fell screamed and howled, and their bodies were pierced by the sharp wooden stakes below. It was extremely miserable.
And this scene scared the people behind so much that they didn't dare to charge.
However, some people were pushed down.
"Stop, there's a trap!"
"Stop!"
One hundred thousand troops were forced back by this trap.
"City Lord, there is a trap!"
The Lord of Twilight City was in the center of the army, looking at that scene with an ugly expression.
"Damn it, they actually dug a ditch to protect the city."
The Lord of Twilight City said quickly: "Set up a siege ladder and use it to cross the ditch!"
The people behind quickly carried the ladder used to attack the city, set it over, and placed it on the seven or eight meter wide city moat.
The ladder was set up, and people rushed over from the ladder to fight towards the city.
Xiang Chen didn't panic when he saw people rushing to the city.
"Prepare the kerosene!"
"White Tiger, Suzaku, Qinglong, you take 80,000 people out of the back city and go around the back!"
Xiang Chen issued another order, and soon, the soldiers guarding the city carried out bucket-like objects one after another.
The bucket was smashed downwards, and the bucket exploded. Inside was black grease that had been gradually refined.
A large amount of grease flowed under the city, and some enemy soldiers who were attacking the city slipped and fell.
There were also people who carried ladders and leaned against the city all at once, while people held up wooden shields and began to attack the city.
The defenders of the city used thunder stones and rolling logs to knock people down, but when Xiang Chen saw that black oil had covered the feet of many people, he held a torch and threw it down.
The grease mixed with pine oil, tung oil, and petroleum suddenly ignited, and the flames below immediately rose up and turned into a sea of fire.
"ah……!"
The twenty or thirty thousand people who rushed to the city were covered in flames at this moment and let out bursts of mourning.
Seeing this scene, the Lord of Twilight City's expression changed drastically, and he roared: "Retreat, retreat quickly!"
Needless to say, the people who were not covered by the sea of fire retreated in fear and retreated from the moat. Some people even lost their footing and fell to their deaths.
"My lord is mighty, my lord is mighty!"
Seeing this spectacular scene, the soldiers guarding the city waved and shouted. On their side, they repelled the invading enemy with almost no casualties.
