The enemy troops who rushed to the city suffered heavy casualties, but at this time Shen Yifeng had already jumped on Shuai Shuai's back with Lin Ciyu. Shen Yifeng had already collected the Xuanling puppet, and Xiang Ling had also transformed into a human form. Jumped on Shuaishuai's back.
"Roar!"
Surrounded by numerous enemy troops, Shuai Shuai roared angrily. Flame-like wings extended out from his sides and flapped fiercely. The raging wind directly fanned dozens of enemy troops around him at the same time. Shuai Shuai retreated straight back, and Shuai Shuai's huge body flew into the sky in the strong wind, and soon returned to the top of the west gate.
"Attack! Quick!"
On the top of the city, Liu Yuntong saw that Shen Yifeng was safe, so he hurriedly made preparations for a full-scale attack.
The crossbowmen and the guards at the top of the city quickly opened their bows and drew arrows, and dense arrows flew towards the enemy troops rushing to the city. After half an hour, they finally defeated this wave of enemy troops. He retreated. Under the wall of the west gate of Xuanyuan City, only corpses and countless arrows and various weapons were left on the ground.
This time Shen Yifeng led the imperial guards out of the city. Although he did pick up a lot of arrows, the arrows he used to stop the enemy were several times more than the ones he picked up. It seemed that Shen Yifeng was so This action seems to be somewhat outweighed by the gains.
However, Liu Yuntong did not think that Shen Yifeng's action was worth the gain.
First of all, the enemy's attack suffered extremely heavy losses, at least five thousand people were lost, which was already a huge victory for him. Secondly, after this time, Shen Yifeng took people out to pick up things again. The enemy army would not dare to continue such an attack. Thirdly, and most importantly, Shen Yifeng's plan was being implemented smoothly.
The enemy troops retreated. Shen Yifeng once again led people out of the city to pick up things. This time he actually led five thousand guardsmen, which accounted for half of the soldiers guarding the west gate.
However, the enemy army did not rush over this time. Therefore, Shen Yifeng and the others gained an extremely rich harvest this time. They recovered most of what they had consumed throughout the morning, and at the same time, they also picked up many various items dropped by the enemy army. equipment.
With these things, the time that we can defend Ximen will be extended a lot.
In fact, Shen Yifeng's purpose of picking up things was not to prolong the defense of the imperial capital. In his opinion, this defensive battle should have a result in ten days. His purpose of picking up things was just to implement his plan.
Time passed quickly, and it was noon in a blink of an eye. There was a faint smoke on the top of the city, and it was already time to eat.
After lunch and resting for two full hours, the enemy did not attack. It was obvious that the enemy was aware of the abnormality on the west gate, so they had become a little cautious.
Tang Guoao's attack on Xuanyuan City has always been carried out from all four sides at the same time. However, his attack is focused. On the west gate, Tang Guoao's troops and manpower are the weakest. So all the time, although Liu There weren't many powerful warriors on Yuntong's side to assist him in defending Ximen, but Ximen still didn't make any mistakes.
This morning, Shen Yifeng took Lin Ciyu, plus Shuaishuai and the Xuanling puppet. Their attacks were extremely fierce. They were a force that the enemy army could not resist at all. The enemy army would definitely think that Ximen Extremely powerful warriors have been mobilized on the city. In this case, the enemy's deployment will definitely undergo some changes.
Another hour passed, and finally, at the foot of Ximen City, another enemy attack came.
A full 20,000 people rushed to the city, but not a single powerful warrior came to attack.
The battle was still extremely fierce. This time, the enemy army left behind two thousand corpses when they retreated. On Liu Yuntong's side, because the enemy army was never able to rush to the city, the number of losses was very small. .However, the defensive equipment prepared was obviously reduced a lot.
However, Liu Yuntong is much more generous now and doesn't care about such losses at all. With Shen Yifeng taking people out to pick up trophies, Liu Yuntong will soon be able to replenish the lost things. If the battle continues like this , Liu Yuntong felt that if everything went well, there would be absolutely no problem even if he was allowed to stay here for twenty days.
However, he knew very well that it was absolutely impossible for the enemy to let him pick up things to replenish his losses all the time, and the enemy would definitely have a countermeasure in the future.
Night fell, and the day's battle was finally over.
During this period of time, Tang Guoao had never launched an attack on Xuanyuan City at night. His side was extremely abundant in terms of supplies and had an absolute advantage in numbers, and soon there would be a hundred soldiers from the Sky Eagle Empire. Ten thousand troops came to support, and these one million troops might be able to fight with his army in a month. But what about Tang Guodong in the imperial capital? The legions everywhere were restrained by the empire, and both Tang Guodong and Tang Mingrui were firmly Trapped in Xuanyuan City, he was completely isolated and helpless. Under this situation, whether it was a quick victory or a protracted war, Tang Guoao felt that he was sure of victory.
Sitting in the commander's tent, Tang Guoao proudly waited for the generals to come over and report today's results. Although he wanted to capture Xuanyuan City as soon as possible, he also knew that this could not be accomplished in a day or two. At this time, in this situation where he had an absolute advantage, he was still relatively patient.
After waiting for about ten minutes, four fully armed generals walked into the commander's tent, saluted Tang Guoao together, and then sat down on the chairs on both sides.
Tang Guoao was very satisfied with these four generals. In his eyes, these four generals were all generals with great military command capabilities. The strategy for attacking the imperial capital this time was jointly formulated by these four generals.
It took Tang Guoao a long time to find and train these four generals. Their names are Zhang Nan, Zhao Dong, Li Xi and Wang Dingbei.
Among the four generals, Zhang Nan is the youngest at only thirty-seven years old. He is very tall and strong. He was promoted from the military camp by Tang Guoao ten years ago. In this battle, Zhang Nan is responsible for attacking Xuanyuan City. Zhao Dong is ten years older than Zhang Nan. He is the commander of the Holy Dragon Legion and the most powerful general of Tang Guoao. This time he is responsible for attacking the east gate of Xuanyuan City. Li Xi is Tang Guoao's secret The recruited and trained commander of an army. Li Xi was fifty-two years old. This time he was responsible for attacking Ximen, which was guarded by Liu Yuntong.
Wang Dingbei was not a general before. He was an extremely powerful warrior from the Tianying Cult because he had a lot of military acumen. Tang Guoao valued him and appointed him as a general, leading an elite army of 150,000 people. More than five hundred super powerful warriors from the Tianying Sect were responsible for attacking the north gate of Xuanyuan City.
The north gate of Xuanyuan City was the main battlefield designated by Tang Guoao for this battle. Half of the most powerful warriors from the Sky Eagle Sect gathered there, and a full 150,000 elite warriors gathered at the north gate of Xuanyuan City.
In addition to the more than 20,000 imperial guards brought by the Maldives who had previously defected from Xuanyuan City, the strength Tang Guoao placed at the north gate was indeed extremely powerful.
On the surface, Tang Guoao seemed to want to capture Xuanyuan City from the north gate, and the other attacks seemed to be to contain the defenders in the city. However, in fact, this was not the case. In fact, Tang Guoao
The battlefield that Ao values most is Ximen.
"How is the battle going today?" Tang Guoao asked, looking at the four capable men sitting in front of him.
"The situation on my side is still the same as a few days ago." Wang Dingbei said first: "Today, I attacked the north gate of Xuanyuan City ten times in a row and lost nearly two thousand people.
The enemy's losses were smaller than mine, about a thousand people were lost. The losses of warriors on both sides were not very great."
"What about you?" Tang Guoao turned to look at Zhao Dong and asked, "How is the situation at the east gate?"
"It's the same as the previous few days, dragging the battle with Tang Guodong's army, waiting for the last opportunity." Zhao Dong said simply.
"The situation here is the same as the past few days." Zhang Nan said: "We attacked seven or eight times, but the losses were not very heavy."
"How is your side?" Tang Guoao turned to look at Li Xi and said, "Although I have placed the weakest troops on your side, my expectations for your side are the heaviest. I have arranged
The attacks on the other three gates of Xuanyuan City are all aimed at minimizing your hindrance there."
"Today, the situation on my side has undergone some changes." Li Xi's face became slightly ugly: "Today, the losses on my side were extremely huge. More than 10,000 people were sacrificed, but 5,000 of them were
They are our new recruits who serve as cannon fodder."
"You actually lost 10,000 people today!" After hearing the number Li Xi said, Tang Guo'ao's face suddenly became gloomy. He frowned slightly and said, "What's going on? Could it be that Ximen
What unexpected changes occurred?"
"Originally, according to my plan, I would attack for a day today, and continue to attack for another day tomorrow. Then the day after tomorrow, I can suddenly assemble the elite troops to carry out the strongest attack. In my opinion, if nothing goes wrong, we can definitely rush to the top of the city and win it.
The west gate of Xuanyuan City." When Li Xi said this, he paused for a moment and then continued: "But what I didn't expect at all was that the west gate of Xuanyuan City seemed to have changed its guards today, and there were a few extremely powerful guards.
Powerful warriors. We were caught off guard, so we suffered heavy casualties, and the losses of the warriors in my hands were also extremely huge."
