Chapter 2560
Zhou Jian sneered, are you still afraid of you? He turned around and said: "The whole army retreats and blocks the entire Dunhuang city!"
"Yes!" the three armies roared.
Then, in just half an hour, the three armies thundered and surrounded the ancient city of Dunhuang as if no one else was around. However, the Dunhuang divine guards on the city wall could only watch helplessly and did not even dare to fight. This made morale even lower.
To the naked eye, the ancient city of Dunhuang, which towers high in the desert, has become an isolated city. Once here, the Dunhuang Clan has no buffer zone. Allied forces blockades are everywhere, and it is so dense that it can be called oppressive.
And one hundred thousand dragon knights are watching from the front. As long as the Dunhuang Divine Guards dare to come out, they will be attacked!
A stalemate began.
The Dunhuang Divine Guards were extremely dissatisfied and angry from the beginning of the battle. They asked for help many times and wanted to go out of the city to fight, but they were all rejected by the Dunhuang Clan.
He was very resourceful and knew that defending the city had a better chance than going out to fight. Even if he wanted to fight out, he would have to consume part of Zhou Jian's troops.
The dragon riders outside the city are also asking for a fight.
They had been dormant for so long, and the battle just now was not enough. However, Zhou Jian also refused. Fighting is not about playing house, and it is based on one's own mood.
The ancient city of Dunhuang is too towering. How many people will die if they fight hard? Even if they get in, how can they resist the nearly 200,000 divine guards?
In this way, the two sides reached a stalemate, and a sense of chill and depression filled the inside and outside of Dunhuang City.
According to statistics, more than 4,000 Dunhuang divine guards were killed in the previous battle, not counting the injured, and the losses of the Dragon Riders were less than half of theirs.
It can be said that in their first trial of their skills, Longqi gave the Dunhuang Divine Guards a hard slap in the face, knowing full well that they would have to retreat into the city.
A full ten days later!
It was the eleventh day of the siege. The entire ancient city of Dunhuang was already beyond the reach of birds and soldiers could not get out. As long as a vulture passed by trying to report a message or dispatch troops, it would be shot dead on the spot by the sharpshooters arranged by Zhou Jian.
In the past ten days, more than 70 vultures carrying messages have been shot!
The fighting spirit of both sides is slowly receding under the scorching sun. What is competing is the willpower and endurance! It does not mean that there is no need to consume if there is no war. Both sides need high-intensity vigilance. This situation is no less than a head-on war.

"Your Majesty, you see, there is very little smoke in Dunhuang City in the evening. I am afraid that the granary that Mr. Yang set on fire last time is just the tip of the iceberg. There is no shortage of water and food in Dunhuang." Du Ye said worriedly.
Zhou Jian stood on a high place, looking at the smoke above Dunhuang City, and couldn't help but frown. This was somewhat beyond his expectation.
"Damn it, last time we burned so much, we didn't have food and water shortages. How fat is this ancient city of Dunhuang?" Yang Wei cursed.
Reboluo, who was standing aside, said calmly: "I have said before that Dunhuang is unfathomable. Half of the resources of the Western Region are stored here. Breaking in is as difficult as climbing to the sky."
"Humph, woman, where are you from?" Yang Wei glared.
"Okay, stop arguing." Zhou Jian stood up and stopped at the right time. He was so majestic that no one dared to speak.
"Even if Dunhuang City is not short of food, the ten-day siege and high-intensity energy consumption have reduced the morale of the Dunhuang Divine Guards a lot. No matter how you look at it, it is not a loss."
Rebala was speechless and did not dare to mess with Zhou Jian.
She is a cold, arrogant, and aloof woman, even worse than Wuyang in the past, but the longer she stays by Zhou Jian's side, the more inexplicably she becomes more in awe.
"But Your Majesty, this is not the way to go. We are the attackers and we have to find a way to break the situation!" Wang Yu said in a deep voice, his eyes serious.
He was the only one on the scene who dared to speak like this.
