This unexpected incident suddenly caused a sharp increase in the morale of the East China Sea Allied Forces inside the barrier defense line. To describe it in terms of numbers, after the failure of the siege a few days ago, the morale was already close to single digits. If not for the fact that their hometown was thousands of miles away,
We were in a different place at this time, and there was no way to escape. I believe that this army was completely disintegrated.
After Ya Gui Ce exchanged food for them to eat, their morale increased to twenty or thirty.
But now that the reinforcements have returned with a great victory, their morale has suddenly risen to sixty!!
This giant ship was just the first. The next day, three more giant ships returned smoothly.
On the third day, a small half of the troops released in War Zone C returned, at least more than 50,000 people. It is worth mentioning that among the generals who returned at this time, the strongest one was Gangbo of Bo Ni Kingdom.
It can be said that he has won many battles this time. He is simply unstoppable. He and his troops are in the highest state of energy and spirit.
At this time, Gangbo summoned Yao Guice. After hearing that he roughly finished the current situation, he was naturally shocked. He did not expect that the apparently advantageous barrier defense line was beaten so tragically. Yao Guice
I could only let out a long sigh and tell everything in detail.
After Gangbo finished listening to Ya Guice's words, he held his chin for a while and said thoughtfully:
"So, should Wu Zuocheng still be in a plague state now?"
Ya Guice thought for a while and said:
"It should be the end."
Gangbo said seriously:
"This matter cannot be ignored. Is the priest who performed the spell that day here? Can you please come and ask for more details?"
Gangbo's request was naturally quickly met, and the priest of the God of Plague who performed the spell also came. However, this was an old man who had lived for at least a hundred years, so he had very rich experience and was also very experienced.
Accurately answered Gang Bo’s question:
"Although the opponent also tried to use sorcery to counterattack, there should be at least 10,000 people in Wu Zuocheng infected with the plague, and the number of infected animals may be less. It is at least 6,000. Although the intensity of the plague cannot be
It is fatal to people, but it will cause serious trauma to the stomach, and they can only be recuperated slowly with drinking water and porridge. Therefore, although the infected people have entered the recovery period, most of them have weakness in their limbs and can barely walk."
After hearing the answer from the God of Plague Priest, Gangbo nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, he didn't know that at this moment he had been misled: the judgment of the priest of the God of Plague was very different from the actual situation in Wu Zuocheng!
But this cannot be blamed on this priest, just because his experience was gained during the battles in the East China Sea countries. Can those cities in the East China Sea countries compare with Wu Zuocheng? After all, Wu Zuocheng was Lin Fengjin who combined the previous life's
The level of planning of cities built through experience is simply not comparable to the cities in the East China Sea countries that are formed by large residential gatherings, not to mention that Wuzuo City has a developed drainage system.
Under Lin Fengjin's strict orders, the vomit and excrement of all sick people would be washed into the sea within half an hour after being produced.
At the same time, the water source is strictly protected to minimize the source of infection.
What's more, Lin Fengjin had already prepared medicinal materials, provided them to soldiers and civilians for free, and forced them to drink them every day. This behavior caused many strong infected people to be suppressed at the beginning of the disease. And the East China Sea Zhuge Liang people
The country is so poor that it can't even afford food. Where can we find the resources to provide all residents with free and mandatory medicine?
So we can't blame the priest for cheating his teammates. It's really because of the unequal intelligence.
Gangbo said again:
"So, His Highness Yongniao did lead an army into Wuzuo City before? Then he used his own body to cultivate the plague mother worm?"
Ya Gui Ce said seriously:
"certainly."
Gangbo said again:
"You also used the secret technique of Hundred Ghosts at Night? And this secret technique has been covering it for seven or eight days?"
Crow Guice nodded.
Gangbo pondered for a while and said:
"Can Master Wu Guice swear to the gods to prove that what he just said is not a lie?"
Ya Guice immediately jumped up. His face turned red and he said:
"Sir Gangbo, do you want to question my character? Or do you think I have thoughts of rebellion? ?! I would lie about these things. With all due respect, these words I said can be verified by any soldier.
If there is any difference at all, then I will be willing to be exiled to Cockroach Mountain by the Lord."
Well, being exiled to the Cockroach Mountain is a proverb from the countries in the East China Sea, which is similar to someone swearing to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts. After Gangbo heard what Crow Guice said, he also said seriously:
"Lord Ya Guice, please be patient and calm, because this will involve the life and death of my subordinate!"
Crow Guice was stunned and said:
"What do you mean, sir?"
Gangbo's eyes shone with ambition, and he said seriously:
"Our troops have returned with a new victory, their morale is high, and they have no worries about supplies along the way. They were well fed and recuperated when they were on the boat. At the same time, when they attacked Zhongyuan Prefecture County, they opened up a lot of things.
The arsenal and even the equipment on his body have been replaced with new ones, so both his fighting spirit and body are in optimal condition."
"Looking at the enemy, on the other hand, they have just experienced a large-scale plague, and their physical weakness has not yet recovered. At the same time, they were attacked by Baigui Yexing's forbidden magic. They are extremely frightened mentally. They were also attacked by His Highness Yongniao once. No matter how
It must also have a destructive effect on the city's defense."
"Therefore, I think at this time, this is the best time to attack this strong city! The enemy is weak as never before, and it is estimated that he may not give us this opportunity in the future, and our military strength is also at its peak! If we don't attack now, we will be more vulnerable.
When??”
Of course, Gang Bo still had something to hide, which was that once Wu Zuocheng conquered it by himself, it would be inconvenient for the rest of the people to step in and get a share of the pie.
Needless to say, the loot captured in Wu Zuocheng is a huge wealth just by occupying the unique location of Wu Zuocheng.
The extremely wide fjord next to Wuzuo City is eye-catching to look at. Compared with this place, the bay of Kuokong Bay is just like a small pond. In words that are easy for everyone to understand, the port of Kuokong Bay is affected by
Due to geographical restrictions, the daily cargo throughput is only 20,000 tons, but Wu Zuocheng can reach 200,000 tons!
Secondly, the coalition forces of various countries were helpless when facing a fortified city like Wu Zuocheng, but at this time they were conquered by themselves. Lord Gangbo must have become the number one general in Theater C. Seeing that the defenders in the Central Plains were so weak,
Once this reputation is established, it is not impossible for him to carve out a territory and establish a country and become his own king in the future!
A scheming person like Yao Guice, of course, has a very clear understanding of Gangbo's intentions. However, he always has a feeling that the reasons that Gangbo speaks out seem to be sound, and he also
I admit that there are indeed no superficial flaws in it, but Ya Guice always feels that something is very wrong!
However, just when Yao Guice was about to express his doubts, Tajian Mu, his confidant next to him, touched him and took the lead in saying to Gangbo with a face full of surprise:
"Your Excellency, you are so clear-eyed! Only a famous general like you can grasp such a fleeting opportunity. We will fully cooperate with your actions. I wonder what your orders are?"
Gangbo smiled proudly, stroking his beard and said with a chuckle:
"For now, there are no difficulties. It's just that the construction of siege equipment is still a bit short of manpower."
This was obviously a small insult for treating Crow Guice as his subordinate in the auxiliary army camp, but Tajianmu still agreed with a smile. He sent Gangbo out, and when he came back, Tajianmu's eyes sparkled.
With a cold light, he said to Crow Ghost:
"Sir, Gangbo is going to gnaw on this hard bone. Just let him go. If you stop him, people may not accept your favor. Just by looking at him asking us to do chores, you know what is in this guy's heart.
What do you think of us?"
The muscles on Yao Guice's face twitched a few times, as if it violated his own ideals and it was difficult to make a choice.
Duojianmu said angrily:
"Sir, you have worked hard to maintain and run the business here. It can be said that you have broken your heart and worked hard to reach the current situation. But the people outside have no idea how difficult the thieves in Wuzuo City are. They only know how to laugh at them.
Sarcastic attack, who knew that if someone else was in charge of this defense line, this defense line might have been trampled down long ago! We are eating chaffy vegetables here, and they are making a lot of money outside! In the end, we will be beaten
Humiliation, is there such an injustice in the world?"
"Gang Bo is willing to go against Wu Zuocheng, so it's best to let him do it. With his bloody experience, no one will probably make irresponsible remarks on us, and let them
You know our suffering! What’s more important is that now military reports from various war zones have come in. On the contrary, our Country of the Rising Sun is having some trouble with the war in the south. It seems that we suffered a big loss in a place called Shangmao. It seems that Chiya
Lord Oni's jade was broken there, and Lord Oni Muqing was also severely injured. Under such circumstances, Sir, Gangbo is from Bo Ni Country after all."
After listening to Duo Jianmu's words, Yao Guice's eyes suddenly narrowed, revealing a hint of pain:
"The news I just got is that Gui Muqing also died. It's okay that the madman Chiya Gui died, but Gui Muqing died to save him! He was shot with three shots and seventeen arrows. Although two Zhengyi priests took action
, but it also failed to save his life. One thing goes up and down, the other goes up. You are right, Gangbo is from the Bo Ni country after all. Go to their side more and meet their requirements as much as possible.
, lest they find some excuses on us if they lose in the end."
After hearing what Ya Guice said, Duo Jianmu's eyes lit up, he bowed deeply and ran out.
Three hours later, Gangbo summoned his own 47,000 elite soldiers and generals, and launched an army to attack the city.
At this time, Yao Guice led his cronies and climbed to Wangdou in the defense line of the barrier as usual, overlooking the battle situation from a distance.
When Zhong Kangfu saw the movements of the Bo Ni Army, he couldn't help but lost his voice and said:
"Did Gangbo intend to attack the city with one strike? Did he directly dispatch the sugarcane-cutting army?"
The "Cane Cutting Army" is the most elite unit under Gangbo's command. The military flag is also very strange. The pattern painted on it is like a knife chopped on the wood.
The reason why this army has such a weird name is because the main food crop of the Bo Ni country where Gangbo is located is a crop called rice cane. This crop looks like sugar cane, but the method of eating it is to chop it down.
, peel, then cut into small pieces and grind into powder for consumption.
The position that rice cane flour occupies in the Bo Ni country's diet is similar to the position that flour occupies in the northern diet.
After the rice cane grows and matures, the outer skin is very hard, and in order to avoid waste, it must be cut as level as possible with the ground, so it is both a physical job and a technical job.
Moreover, rice cane can grow all year round, so there will not be a situation like a monthly intensive harvesting of rice in the autumn. Instead, people may be needed to chop the rice cane all over the country throughout the year. From this, very professional
"Cane cutters" thus formed an industry.
As you can imagine, these "cane cutters" have knives in their hands all year round. And to cut the hard rice cane, strength and skills are indispensable, so they are particularly agile when cutting people.
Naturally, the generals above also noticed this, and later simply organized all the soldiers with relevant experience (cutting rice and sugarcane) together and used them as their elite men. As expected, they showed great authority and reputation.
.
Therefore, not to mention the Balni Kingdom itself, even the other East China Sea countries, whenever they heard that there was a "cane-cutting army" on the other side during a war, they were on strict alert and cautious. Therefore, even Zhong Kangfu of the Land of the Rising Sun was wary of them.
There are so many treasures that can be seen at a glance.
Then, I saw a large group of auxiliary soldiers leading the battle carrying ladders, while the "cane cutting army" was mixed in the second echelon and rushed forward in a swarm.
This time, Lin Fengjin did not dare to be too big. Naturally, Wu Zuocheng showed all his strength. After fighting for so long, although the number of Shenwu crossbows dropped by nearly one-third. However, the number of those who control the Shenwu crossbows
The skills and proficiency are not the same, and the accuracy has also been greatly improved.
Under the dense fire of divine weapon crossbows and arrows, the elites who wanted to get close fell down one after another, and some even had two people pierced by one arrow. However, elites are elites, and their fighting will and fighting skills are definitely better than ordinary soldiers.
No, the advancement speed is not slow at all!
However, Wu Zuocheng's long-range fire strikes are also divided into two aspects. On the one hand, they are ultra-long-range strike war weapons such as divine crossbows and catapults. At close range, Wu Zuocheng's front wall can also accommodate up to 1,500 weapons.
There are hundreds of archers, and there are firing holes for nearly 300 crossbows in the hollow city wall bastion, and these bastions are equipped with 900 crossbows, and each shooter is specially assigned two loaders, so
If so, try to maintain the continuity of crossbow shooting as much as possible.
Therefore, when the elite soldiers of the Bo Ni Kingdom entered the shooting range of the bows and crossbows on the city wall, thousands of arrows were fired!
It can be clearly seen that the people in the front rows of this elite soldier who bravely stepped forward suddenly seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and rebounded at the same time, falling to the ground one after another.
The people behind didn't seem to know what was happening. They continued to sprint with their bodies, rushing out five or six meters, and then ran into a new round of arrows head-on, repeating the same mistake.
The funniest thing was an armored warrior. This guy was lucky enough to be able to rush to the bottom of the city wall with his head buried. However, he could only stare at the towering city wall in a daze, and finally had to turn around and go back to look for the man who was abandoned behind.
ladder
At this time, about twenty Chiqi Ben drew their long swords and charged forward. Although Wu Zuocheng's city wall was high, it could not stop these guys with extraordinary combat power and extraordinary abilities. They roared and rushed forward quickly.
Once at the top of the city, as far as the Bo Ni Kingdom is concerned, as long as these red flags can hold on for a hundred breaths, subsequent reinforcements can be continuously transported up through the ladders.
But at this time, Lin Fengjin ordered the activation of the second line of defense buried under Wuzuo City.
Black kerosene gurgled into the trench, then quickly filled it up and gathered in it. Then the earthen talisman next to it was forcibly invalidated. On this battlefield where the sound of killing was loud, no soldiers would do it at all.
Notice the changes happening under your feet.
Then, needless to say, a wall of fire that was two to three feet high stretched across the battlefield, cutting the battlefield in half. When the wall of fire extinguished, the more than 20 Chiqiben and the five or six hundred people under the wall were pitiful.
The elite corpses are almost cold!!
Gangbo's vision went dark after witnessing this tragedy, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. Among the more than twenty red flags who had just rushed up, one was his nephew. He was furious for a moment and went crazy.
He roared and ordered the entire army to attack and continue to attack the city. With red eyes, he held a long sword and stood at the rear to supervise the battle. As long as anyone retreated, he would immediately strike with his sword!
In front of the swarming sea of soldiers, Wu Zuocheng behaved as coldly and mechanically as a war machine. Everyone seemed to be a screw on the machine. All the archers shot three arrows, then retreated and retreated.
Naturally, someone filled the gap, and the crossbow archer also fired mechanically. After shooting a crossbow empty, he threw it back. Naturally, someone patted his hand with the fully loaded crossbow.
At this time, Gang Bo's troops were like raging and roaring waves, rushing towards Wu Zuocheng one after another. However, Wu Zuocheng was like a standing rock. No matter how the waves hit, they would all break in vain.
On the rocks!!
Only then did Gangbo's army realize that they did not lack courage or bravery. What they lacked most was siege equipment. This was no wonder for them. Siege equipment required a large amount of wood, and on the vast grassland
, where to find a large amount of wood, unless it is to dismantle a ship! Of course, it can also be transported over long distances by ship, but at this time, almost all the ships of the East China Sea Alliance were used to transport looted gold and silver treasures.
Food, grass, and baggage. Who the hell is stupid enough to transport those worthless pieces of wood that you can’t eat, look at, or play with?
The fighting lasted for another half an hour, and Lin Fengjin suddenly said:
"That's almost it."
What Lin Fengjin said has two meanings. The first meaning is that the physical strength of the soldiers who went into battle has been almost exhausted. After all, bending a bow and setting an arrow is also a very physically demanding thing. If it continues
If it goes down, overwork will occur.
Second, Lin Fengjin’s purpose is not to kill all the people in the Balni Kingdom as a joke. In Wu Zuocheng’s small area, even if he can kill all the people in the Balni Kingdom, can he kill all the people in the East China Sea Allied Forces? So,
From beginning to end, he was just showing a kind of deterrence, that is, if you come to attack me, you must be prepared to suffer heavy casualties!
At this time, the casualties of the Balni Kingdom were already heavy enough, which was just right, because the level of casualties at this time was on the verge of breaking out for the entire Balni Kingdom, which was enough to present a good picture.
A negative example is that if too many people are killed, the generals of the Balni Kingdom lose control of their psychology and claim to pay for the blood debts of their subordinates. Although Lin Fengjin is not afraid, such a result is not what he wants, and it is completely worth the loss.
After Lin Fengjin spoke, although the attack density at the top of the city remained unchanged, the situation on the battlefield also changed suddenly. A harsh golden sound suddenly sounded. Wu Zuocheng's city gate actually opened in an instant, and the first person to rush out was thirty.
The heavy armored cavalrymen, with only soybean-sized holes exposed for their eyes and noses, swept up a bloody wind in the sea of people below the city, and cut several bloody paths!!
Immediately afterwards, a large group of elite sword and shield soldiers came out shouting to kill. If the position under the city was flooded like a torrent, the army of Bo Ni Kingdom was lacking siege equipment. Now it even has the only remaining siege equipment.
They were all dealt a blow. Needless to say, even a soldier with a strong will to fight would have no confidence in such a situation. His first reaction was to throw away the weapon in his hand, turn around and run away.
Seeing that the army was defeated like a mountain, Gang Bo, who had completely lost his mind, became even more angry. He screamed and slashed with a knife with red eyes. At this time, Lin Fengjin was in the hidden bastion on the city wall, looking at Gang Bo with disdain.
Wave, and the powerful Shenwu heavy crossbow has been transported here.
Lin Fengjin boarded the Shenwu Heavy Crossbow, closed one eye, and began to aim at Gang Bo, whispering to himself:
"You can die under this cannon worth fifteen thousand taels of silver, and you can rest in peace even if you are under nine springs!"
After saying that, Lin Fengjin pulled the trigger. At this moment, a sinister laughter seemed to resound throughout the entire bastion! Then the divine weapon's heavy crossbow trembled, delivering the fatal blow.
