Under the cover of the arrow tower and the big shield, the Zhengdong Camp reversed the form again.

However, seeing that this move was not working, the defenders quickly threw stones from the top of the city, and tincture oil, etc. Faced with the attack of the stones and tincture oil, the siege cars were obviously unable to resist. They were quickly smashed and several of them caught fire and started to burn.

This is something that those archers cannot recover. Faced with such an attack, although the archers had aiming shots and wanted to kill the enemy who threw the tinder oil, the soldiers of the imperial capital camp above the city did not reveal their bodies to throw the stones, but used a relatively small lever to kill the stones from above. The tinder oil was also pushed out and fell down with something, so these archers could not see the enemy's body at all because they did not lean out at all.

"Retreat!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Lotte immediately ordered all the siege cars to retreat. In this case, if it was necessary to attack regardless of casualties, it would not be worth it in Lotte's opinion. Now that he has arrived at the Imperial Capital City, it has already played a deterrent and restraining role on the enemy. The next step to break through the city is definitely necessary, but it cannot be exchanged for blind sacrifice.

However, Lotte did not completely stop the attack because of this. He ordered to use stone cannons again, and bombard the city walls without a single shot. The teams under his command began to camp and block. Everyone knew very well that the current situation was not a very wonderful thing.

"Report... the expedition camp has arrived outside the city."

When he learned the news, Hu Lai's expression still did not change much, but the Emperor broke into a heart. The Battle of the East Camp has always been on the front line of combat and has been through the battlefield for a long time. The military's record, strength and practical experience are very rich. Moreover, the tens of millions of troops are now at the city, and the troops of the Imperial Capital Camp are now only tens of millions of troops. The current situation is that his military strength advantage on this side no longer exists. However, in his opinion, Hu Lai seems to have no idea of ​​the current military weakness.

After hearing this situation, Hu Lai just said to his subordinate, "Preserve the outer city well. If you can't defend it, you won't have to come back."

After hearing this order, the Emperor had a new understanding of this Hu Lai. I don’t know how this Hu Lai was able to kill his soldiers, but his soldiers had no complaints. For example, the current commander looked very normal and headed towards the outer city.

, I didn't think there was anything wrong with this command.

The Emperor could not help but look at this Hu Lai more. He really didn't expect that the army of the imperial capital camp would be like this. He didn't know what method this Hu Lai used to train his army. As for the Emperor's feelings, the soldiers of the imperial capital camp not only obeyed orders, but were also brave and fearless, and also had considerable fighting intentions. To be honest, everyone wanted to have such a team. However, as the Emperor learned, none of the other four camps could do this. However, this imperial capital camp, which is usually not visible and uncovered, is such a manifestation, which is really strange.

To be honest, the defense facilities of this imperial city are quite good. After all, when the Emperor was there, he was easily breached and escaped in a mess, mainly because the Emperor had too few guards around him at that time. Now Prime Minister Cheng has the Nine Gate Admiral Battalion under his command, and various officials and their servants defended him. As soon as they entered the imperial city, they immediately used all these defensive equipment.

So for a while, Hu Lai could not capture the imperial city. At this time, Prime Minister Cheng felt a little relaxed, but he was not full of confidence. At this moment, he didn't know that this thing had arrived at the outer city of the imperial capital.

Although I really wanted to use the same trick again when attacking the inner city, the environment in front of the imperial capital, the imperial city could not concentrate too many stone cannons to attack.

However, whether Hu Lai could not conquer the imperial city or the enemy reinforcements came from the outer city, he was not anxious at all. He always looked so calm and calm.

"Continue attack!"

Seeing that the stone cannon could not be concentrated, he ordered the conventional siege to use this catapult and the construction vehicle. At this time, outside the city, the Zhengdongxing Camp had just been placed, and another army came, and Lotte recognized it immediately.

"This time, like the East Camp, the entire army returned to the army, and no guards were left behind, but all employees returned to the imperial capital. The most careful management principle, in terms of momentum and number of people, seemed to be more strict than the East Camp, and there were more people. In fact, Letian knew that the other party was indeed more people than his own, because the East Camp had lost a large number of people before the East Camp, and had not had time to replenish them.

This situation is really surprising. No one expected that the West Camp would come so quickly. Letian knew that his East Camp not only marched quickly from the beginning, but also increased the speed on the way. Even so, the West Camp still

It is not inferior to their speed, but just arriving from the front and back. You should know that although the distance between the major camps and the imperial capital is on the frontier, the distance between Tido is different. The distance between the expedition camps is obviously farther, but I didn't expect that they would come so quickly.

The distance between the West Camp and the Imperial Capital is farther from the East Camp and the Imperial Capital, but the arrival of the East Camp and the East Camp is almost in front and back. This only means that they may set off, earlier than the East Camp. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain that they arrived so quickly.

Moreover, Prime Minister Cheng sent a messenger to inform all parties, and it was impossible to send a messenger to inform them one after another. Then, according to the distance from the imperial capital, the Xixing Camp would definitely be later when receiving the notification. Under normal circumstances, they would never arrive at the imperial capital so early. This can only explain one thing, that is, the Xixing Camp has a spy on the emperor and made predictions in advance. When the people sent by Prime Minister Cheng had arrived at their place, they had already sent troops in advance.

Lotte had heard of this governor Hua Feng, the governor of the West Camp, before, but he had never met him. He only knew that he was a powerful general, but he never expected that the first time he dealt with him under such circumstances, he found that this guy was very deep in doing things.

Since the four major battalions each have heavy troops and are the main members of the local forces, under normal circumstances, although there are also several spies in the capital, they are all simple intelligence collection. Because under normal circumstances, the information and information conveyed by local officials such as Cheng Prime Minister and others are often more accurate and detailed than the information they sent to inquire by themselves, and at a higher level.

Therefore, the four major camps rarely work on the Imperial Capital Intelligence Network. Looking at the behavior of the Western Camp, they not only invested a lot of energy on the intelligence network, but also put a lot of effort into the spread of this news. They have a very rapid channel, and this approach is worth pondering.

"Governor General, I'll send someone over there to carry out a night attack with us."

When he heard his subordinates' report, Lotte refused to comment. Under normal circumstances, Huafeng sent someone over to him, and he must have communicated information and discussed things privately with him. However, now the other party is ready for a night attack and just notified him. This is indeed a bit too much.
