Chapter 73 Before the Siege
Hu Qing's face was very ugly. He went to sneak attack Daru to cut off Jian Zong's retreat, but no news came back.
These southern wilderness tribes are becoming more and more excessive, and their attacks are becoming more and more perfunctory.
They didn't even make any pretense at all, they just screamed at the city wall from a distance, and they retreated directly before the other side even started to react.
By the way, Hu Qing has now figured out the specific situation on the other side.
This area is occupied by a sect called Jian Zong.
This sword sect took matters into its own hands and did not fully follow King Li's arrangements. Instead, he took the initiative and turned a place on the Southern Wilderness people's side into their garrison.
And this area was renamed the Qixing Mountain area, and the entire Qixing Mountain area was connected with city walls and completely surrounded.
As more information entered Hu Qing's ears, the Sea Clan general finally figured out that this sect that had caused heavy casualties to the people of the Southern Wilderness and was even unwilling to continue fighting was not like other sects.
There are only a thousand people left, but there are tens of thousands.
Tens of thousands of people! This is equivalent to 10 other sects, all gathered together.
And it is said that they have also stocked up quite a lot of supplies. In the area surrounded by Qixing Mountain, there are also some cultivated farmland, orchards, etc.
It can be said that the Sword Sect that Hu Qing is facing now has a vast territory, complete defense facilities, sufficient resource reserves, and can even be self-sufficient to a certain extent, with no shortage of food and domestic water. It is indeed a bit difficult to handle.
What I originally thought was a piece of fat turned out to be a piece of hard bone. Not only did I not eat the piece of fat, but I also lost a tooth.
For Hu Qing, this was a completely unexpected situation, but no matter what the situation is now, if this tough problem cannot be solved, it will continue to cause them trouble in the future.
But when he saw those southern savage tribes that had been fooling around, Hu Qing couldn't help but take a sip, looking unhappy.
"General, these people are no longer reliable. Let's let our own warriors break through this wall!"
Hu Qing rarely acted arbitrarily when it came to combat, but he always believed that one person's head was not enough. Sometimes it was very correct to listen to the opinions of some of his subordinates.
Therefore, when his subordinates came up with any suggestions, Hu Qing would not refuse them immediately.
His subordinate, who was also an old man who followed him, saw that Hu Qing did not express any objection, so he said: "We, the Hai Clan, sent relatively few people, so we assigned 500 warriors to sneak attack on their rear. Because now
Their city wall is simply very difficult to break through.
If we continue like this, many unnecessary things will happen."
Hu Qing understood what his subordinates meant. It was not that he didn't know that this matter was difficult to handle, but there was nothing he could do about it now.
He has also seen the city walls connected by Jian Zong based on Qiqing Mountain. Not only are they very tall, but there are also many prominent defense points in the middle of these city walls.
Now Hu Qing is riding a tiger and is unable to dismount. He has no way out and must capture the Qixing Mountain Area occupied by the Sword Sect.
The only hateful thing is that these Southern Wilderness people still refuse to make great efforts to attack the city. Otherwise, if these Southern Wilderness people attract the enemies on the wall and distract them, then the warriors of the Sea Tribe form a commando team.
, it is not impossible to rush in again when the opportunity arises.
But now, we can only rely entirely on the advantages of their sea clan.
"Send our war supervisors and ask those Southern Wilders to launch attacks from all sections of the city wall at the same time. No more foreigners are allowed, otherwise, I will take military action."
Hu Qing issued an order to the people of the Southern Wilderness, but he also knew that this was just talk.
But this time, with the arrival of Hu Qing's order and the war supervisors he sent, the tribe leaders of the Southern Wilderness people also realized that Hu Qing might be serious.
"Okay, since General Hu Qing's Hai Clan warriors are serious about taking action, we will not save our efforts. Please rest assured, General, we will definitely cooperate well this time and take down the city wall in one fell swoop."
Seeing that Hu Qing, he really wanted to take over this place, the tribal leaders of these Southern Wilderness people said to General Wu Qing’s messenger.
Agu also received the order, and he said coldly to the messenger, "General, please rest assured, we will do our best to cooperate, but if the general cannot capture this place this time, then we will have to withdraw first.
With the guarantee from the leader of the Southern Wilderness tribe, regardless of whether it was true or false, he would just regard them as genuine, and then Hu Qing ordered his men to prepare for a general attack.
This time, General Hu Qing served as the commander-in-chief of the advance force. In fact, he did not have many men. There were a total of 3,000 troops, of which 500 were led by Daru to raid the Jianzong's retreat, leaving only 2,500.
Warrior of Baihai Tribe.
If these 2,500 sea warriors are used well, it is not impossible to break through the city wall. This time, there are tens of thousands of tribes under his command. Although these people are not very obedient for the time being, surrounding them is still the starting point.
It's effective. As long as you can break a breakthrough, these tens of thousands of people can kill even that few enemies.
These tens of thousands of people were arranged on the remaining sections of the city wall, and Hu Qing decided to concentrate all of his 2,500 Hai clan warriors on one section of the city wall and launch a strong attack.
Hu Qing has already observed that there are six peaks in total.
On the city wall between the peaks, the number of troops stationed on each section may only be less than a thousand people.
Wu Feng, who was inside the city wall, did not know that Hu Qing outside was about to launch a general attack on him, but he had already taken precautions against such a situation.
Now basically the defenses on the city wall are very complete, and Wu Feng also mobilized those young people to come over to help.
It can be said that Wu Feng is very confident in holding the outer position. Even if there is an enemy, if he breaks through, with his defense in depth and various preparation plans and preparations, he will be waiting for the enemy to come and not be able to come back.
Of course Hu Qing would not have thought that his enemy would be so perverted and that this defensive position would be so strong and complex.
Hu Qing gave the order and launched attacks from all directions. Those southern savage tribes did not bother to work hard, but honestly launched an attack.
A large number of people from the Southern Wilderness launched a general attack on all city wall sections from all directions, and for a while there were shouts of killing on all city wall sections.
At the same time, 2,500 warriors from the Hai Clan were already in place.
The section of the city wall where they launched the attack was the section of the city wall that Wu Feng personally controlled.
The first round of attacks was repulsed by counterattacks on the city wall, and then the second and third rounds, at the same time, the arrows on the city wall seemed to be free of charge, and they were like heavy rain blowing towards these areas.
The war supervisor sent by Hu Qing has also been watching these tribes for many years. I believe that at the critical moment, Hu Qing will probably use some people's heads to boost morale.
Agu looked at the soldiers who suffered heavy casualties, and then at the war supervisor who was ready to turn against him at any moment. He spat hard, then waved his hand and said, "Let's go! I will take you with me myself."
There are many situations like this, and these tribal leaders can still distinguish the priorities clearly.
Agu and the others knew very well that if they could not lead their troops to break through this section of the city wall in one fell swoop, the only thing waiting for them would be a withdrawal.
By then, all their losses will not be compensated, and all the steps they took to die will be in vain, and judging from the appearance of the general of the Sea Tribe, there may not be any benefits for them.
What is rare now is that the Hai Clan army is willing to use its full strength. If everyone works together, this is the best opportunity to break through this section of the city wall.
If you miss such a good opportunity, it will be difficult to find such a suitable opportunity in the future.
Everyone comes out to fight life and death to gain profits, not to die in vain. A loss-making transaction like this is too rare.
Therefore, many tribal chiefs like Agu all issued death orders, telling their tribesmen to fight to the death.
"If one person retreats, the whole team will be killed."
