The desert is covered with black clouds and billowing dust.
On the first day of the battle, King Yong overwhelmed almost all his troops, trying to use his absolute advantage to break through the south gate in one fell swoop. However, so many troops were crowded outside the south gate, lacking room to display. In the end, they just
Just a living target.
After leaving thousands of corpses outside the south gate in half a day, King Yong changed his strategy, built warships, and began to cross the river from the north gate, preparing for a pincer attack from the north and the south.
Warships are not big, and each vessel can accommodate more than ten people. The main method of combat is boarding battle. When fighting in the river area, big ships cannot move away. Small boats are more convenient, and their main purpose is transportation.
Under the river water, there are fire thunders. Once touched, a huge shock wave can easily overturn the boat. If these soldiers can swim, it will be fine. If not, they will only drown alive.
Although the power of sea mines is amazing, they are only limited in number, and because the triggering mechanism is rough and clumsy, the overall effect is not very good. Many of them exploded underwater, leaving a lonely person.
What really works is the iron locks that are crisscrossed in the river. They are neither deep nor shallow. They just stop the ship from moving forward. If it insists on moving forward, there is even a danger of capsizing.
Do you want to remove it? There are barbs attached to the chain and the depth has been precisely measured. How can it be so easy?
The defensive fortifications inherited from the small country were working wonders at this moment. Many ships were advancing smoothly, but they capsized inexplicably. The soldiers on them also fell into the water one after another, becoming drowned rats, and retreated in embarrassment.
On the top of the city, there were trebuchets that dropped huge boulders, hitting the water with huge splashes, hitting the boats, splitting into pieces in an instant, and hitting people. There is no need to say more about the results.
The attack and defense on the first day were extremely fierce, and both sides suffered a lot of casualties. Generally speaking, the siege side, that is, King Yong suffered greater losses.
The battlefield was filled with gray smoke and charred black everywhere. Broken weapons and even limbs could be seen everywhere on the battlefield.
Occasionally, you can still smell the aroma of barbecue, but if you know the source of the aroma, you will definitely feel sick. In fact, when the aroma lasts for a short time, it is the smell of roasted flesh, which is disgusting.
Wu Yi had been watching the battle on the first day. He had brought all the troops under his command to fight in the north and south. They all had a lot of combat experience. In comparison, although King Yong had many troops, many of them were
It was put together in a hurry, relying on a moment of energy to advance, but lacking coordination. Once it fails, it will be an organizational retreat. In short, it can only fight with the wind.
The battle on the first day was anxious. The reason why it was so anxious was because when King Yong saw that the situation was not good, he sent his own soldiers to hold up the front and prevent a large-scale defeat.
However, this is a flaw after all, and it is disrespectful to come back without reciprocating. How could Wu Yi let this opportunity pass?
The moon tonight is also particularly shy, no trace can be seen, the sky and the earth are pitch black, the soldiers are hung down with ropes, preparing for a night attack.
On top of the city, he could faintly see the opponent's military camp with flames rising into the sky and a commotion. Wu Yi remained silent. Not long after, a general came from behind to report that the two thousand troops who wanted to sneak attack from the west mountain peak had been wiped out.
.
On this first night, Wu Yi was still victorious.
Wu Yi and King Yong both wanted to take advantage of the darkness to deliver a fatal blow to each other, and both sent their own troops, but the final results were hugely different.
It is not difficult to understand, because Wu Yi chose the opponent's weakness. A group of new recruits were harassed at night and did not run around. The riot was difficult to suppress. As for the peaks to the west, Wu Yi had already
With arrangements in place, King Yong would not succeed so easily.
After waiting for another hour, after the general reported the casualties, Wu Yi returned to the mansion to rest.
This long first day has finally passed.
On the second day, the third day, and even the next half month, the situation did not change much. They were all confrontations. Wu Yi retreated and looted all the food along the way so that he could use it, but King Yong did not.
How much time was wasted with Wu Yi.
On the one hand, it was because he was under huge logistical pressure due to transporting food thousands of miles away, and on the other hand, it was also because there were less than two months until the end of the election system.
Even if he cannot defeat Wu Yi, King Yong still needs to bring back a positive result. Otherwise, King Yong will lose even his pants in this adventure.
After the defeat on the first day, King Yong clearly realized one thing, that is, it was impossible to achieve victory in the war in a normal way within two months.
However, he spent half a month thinking about whether to use abnormal means. Seeing that the food in the army was getting less and less, and the people in the rear were increasingly criticizing the battle, King Yong had to make a corresponding decision.
On this day, after seeing the military situation, the stalemate was still the same as before. Although our losses were getting smaller and smaller, we still couldn't see the possibility of breaking the city. King Yong's eyebrows were furrowed, and the dark circles at the corners of his eyes were so eye-catching and dazzling.
, and his shoulders seemed to have a heavy burden.
Where is the hope?
"Your Highness, we have been brought here!" the guard reported outside the camp.
When King Yong heard this, a look of disgust flashed in the corner of his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. A smile appeared on his face, he stood up and said in a clear voice: "You two, please come in!"
Whoever opened the curtain was Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying. It is said that after the two learned about Wu Yi through the Heavenly Secret Mirror and entered the circle of advisers of King Yong, they were not reused by King Yong.
On the one hand, this is because the two generously admitted that they had practiced Taoism with strangers, and on the other hand, it is also because they have been unable to explain the source of the information and eliminate the possibility of spies.
These days, the two of them were sent by King Yong to transport grain. Grain transportation was related to the life and death of the army. It was impossible to leave it to two people who didn't know what they were doing. Therefore, they were just doing a little work and keeping a ledger, as if
Just like a clerk.
Those who were a little angry would have left King Yong long ago at this time, but the two of them did not take it seriously. On the contrary, they worked wholeheartedly and conscientiously, doing their own jobs clearly and correcting problems along the way.
Many moths have come, and the evidence is in front of them. Many people have dismounted, which can be regarded as making their own reputations.
This time King Yong summoned the two of them, nominally to praise them for their serious work, but King Yong himself knew the real reason.
Isn't it because Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying have said before that "Chen Yan" has also practiced with a different person and has a certain cultivation level, so he is a "demon".
If Wu Yi's identity could be revealed, then King Yong would have won half of this war.
