Although these soldiers in the Yinluozhen Army are no longer considered new recruits, they are still far from the elite soldiers. At best, they can only be said to be veterans with some practical experience, and more than half of them are local surrendered soldiers. At this time, the local area gathered 400,000 troops to counterattack wildly. These surrendered soldiers who had not yet been warmed up had almost no resistance, put down their weapons, fled or surrendered to their original old bosses.
When the 40,000 soldiers withdrew from Yinluo City, there were only 8,000 left. Except for some of them being chased and killed by the enemy, most of them were the original surrendered soldiers of the enemy. Seeing that the momentum was not good, they collapsed and fled. Almost all the remaining soldiers were the original soldiers of Yinluo Town. It seems that at the critical moment, their own people were the most reliable.
It's just eight thousand to four hundred thousand, which does sound like a joke.
"We can hold on for a while with the city walls and the fortifications built." Ji Xin's face was solemn. This was the first time he had shown such a look after joining Xu Lei's command.
"For a while?" Xu Lei was frightened. He knew that Ji Xin would never say ambiguous words on the battlefield. What he said meant for a while, I am afraid that the last chance of victory would disappear.
Ji Xin stood at the top of the city, staring into the distance, his face was heavy, his voice was a little bitter, and he said, "The power gap is too big. Although it is not impossible to win against 400,000 on the battlefield, the premise is that these 80,000 must be brave. I am not afraid of the other party's 400,000 figure. What I am worried about is the elite tiger wolf of 30,000 people in the Nuel army and the remaining elite ten thousand people camp in the Yas Empire. Except for Qin Guang, the Blood Wolf Camp, which has less than 1,000 left, which can still be fought, the remaining seven thousand cannot compete with the power that is several times more than one of them!"
Xu Lei understood Ji Xin's words and put it simply, that is, there are more than tens of times more people than you now, and the combat effectiveness of a single soldier is not weaker than you, just like a weak scholar dealing with several powerful men at the same time.
"I'll go ahead and take a look." Ji Xin walked down the city wall and went to several fortifications under the city wall to personally direct the construction.
"My master...is he panicked?" Qi Wangbei stared at Ji Xin, who looked solemn not far from the city wall but was still instructing the construction of fortifications in an orderly manner.
"He is also a human being." Xu Lei smiled bitterly.
"But... isn't he a god of war on land? How could the god of war on land fail? How could he panic?" Since Qi Wangbei was accepted by Ji Xin as a closed disciple and learned skills for a long time, he admired Ji Xin so much that he admired Ji Xin. In addition, after inquiring about Ji Xin's past, he regarded him as a true god who would never fail under any circumstances. The words "failure and panic" seem to have no connection with Ji Xin forever.
Xu Lei turned his head, looked at this face with a simple face but firm eyes, and said seriously: "The God of War on the Land is not a battle of victory. Victory and defeat are common among military strategists. He is also a human being, and there are times of failure. The reason why he is called the God of War on the Land is not only the unpredictable method of commanding troops by gods and ghosts, but more of it is..."
Xu Lei paused, turned his head and looked at Ji Xin who was commanding the construction of fortifications under the city wall, and said, "He can accept failure more than everyone. There is no general who always wins, only the general who has the courage to accept failure. He knows the danger of this time better than everyone. But look, did he give up? Even if it is destined to be impossible, he is still fighting for the greatest possibility. This is the God of War on the Land!"
Qi Wangbei stared at Ji Xin who was busy under the city wall. After a while, he turned around and ran down the city. He stood beside Ji Xin and was busy with Ji Xin.
Xu Lei showed an admirable but bitter smile, "The son is teachable. If he can survive this time, maybe the next God of War will be you."
"I think it's you."
Ling Qingyi walked to Xu Lei at some time and stood side by side at the city wall with Xu Lei, looking down at the exquisite layout of the fortifications under the city wall, and nodded and praised: "It seems that Ji Xin, the land war god who once shocked the continent, was not just a false reputation. But the layout of the fortifications, coupled with the cooperation of 8,000 soldiers in the city, would be enough to prevent the 400,000 coalition forces from touching the city wall within ten days."
"I can't do this, so the next God of War must not be me." Xu Lei turned his head and looked at Ling Qingyi's beautiful and delicate side face and smiled knowingly. No matter whenever he saw this smart woman, he would become softer.
"Xu Lei." She did not continue to bother with the question of whether the next God of War was Xu Lei, but turned around seriously and looked at Xu Lei seriously.
"Yes." Xu Lei felt a little confused. Ling Qingyi rarely talked to him in such a tone.
"The coalition forces will have to be at the city at the earliest tomorrow evening. I think you should be very clear about the outcome. It is a miracle to persist for two months at most." She said softly.
"I know this." Xu Lei also knew the current situation. If he could be able to deal with the other side in another battlefield to find opportunities to win, but the battle to defend the city is particularly special. The only terrain that can be relied on is the limited fortifications outside the city and the solid but not indestructible city walls, and there is no mobility. No matter how the formation changes, it is always inside the city. Even if the 400,000 troops do not need to attack, they just lock the city, cut off all the food, grass and water supply in the city, and drag him to death.
"We still have many places to go." Ling Qingyi suddenly said, "This continent is boundless. We can find another place to make a comeback. Xu Lei, do you understand what I mean?"
Xu Lei was stunned and suddenly smiled, "Qingyi, don't you understand me?"
Xu Lei rarely used the slightly intimate title of Qingyi. He seemed to be unable to understand how this impeccable woman who was perfect in his heart would say that she would let tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians escape alone in the abandoned Yinluo City.
"Ji Xin, Qin Guang, and many generals in the army. With their ability, if they want to escape now, they can avoid the slaughter of the 400,000 tigers and wolves. But why didn't they do that? That's because I am here, there are tens of thousands of people in the city. They cannot betray me and the people in the city. Even if they know what the final outcome will be, if I abandon them at this moment, what is my face in the world?"
As he said that, Xu Lei's tone suddenly became gentle. He looked at Ling Qingyi and said softly: "If I were such a person, what qualifications do I have to call that great hero? What qualifications do I have to stand side by side with you and talk to you? Qingyi, do you still understand my intention?"
A strange look flashed in an instant, and Ling Qingyi instantly recovered the expression of the thousands of years old Ancient Jing Bubo, "Do you really want to win?"
Xu Lei said firmly: "I really want to!"
"What if I can't win?"
"Then I will live and die with this Yinluo City!" Xu Lei's tone was extremely firm.
"What else?" Ling Qingyi's tone was rarely mixed with a hint of anxiousness.
"And...and also make Nanuel and Yas pay a heavy price. Even if they are both burned, I will cut a bloody flesh on them!" A cold flashed in Xu Lei's eyes. After saying that, he jumped and fell from the tall city wall. "Dig more traps everywhere, and lay barbed bamboo sticks underneath, so that the person who fell the trap will go without returning!"
Four hundred thousand tigers and wolves were so powerful that the dozen cities that Xu Lei had finally saved up collapsed instantly, and densely packed with troops on Yinluo City were under the city. Under the heavy encirclement of 400,000 black troops, Yinluo City was as fragile as a swaying reed.
"Don't stay, attack!" The 400,000 coalition forces had no nonsense. What they wanted was not Yinluocheng, but to turn it into coke.
"Shoot the arrow!" Ji Xin stood at the top of the city. With the wave of the military flag, thousands of arrow clusters stained with tinder oil rushed out from the city like locusts. As soon as these arrow clusters landed, they ignited the ignition of saltpeter sulfur that had been buried three inches under the ground. A sea of fire spread out under the city.
This was the strategy of defending against Ji Xin when Qin Guang was the king of the mountain. Now he is fighting side by side with Ji Xin and putting this extremely cruel and vicious plan on the 400,000 tigers and wolves.
After a brutal howl, the fire was gradually extinguished, and the 400,000 troops, which had only injured a little flesh, swarmed towards the city again.
boom!
The ground suddenly collapsed, and the coalition forces rushing to the front fell into the trap before they could react, and they were stuck in the tip of the barbarian bamboo buried at the bottom of the trap.
"Stonefall, let it go!" Ji Xin waved the military flag in his hand, and hundreds of cannons and stone machines that had been arranged in Yinluo City were fired together, and cannons as big as human heads were covered with raindrops.
"Attack, attack me, those who take the lead in attacking the city will be rewarded with tens of gold!" The general commander of the coalition roared, and went crazy.
"Fire Bull Formation, come out!" Ji Xin issued an order again.
The city gate was wide open, and hundreds of oxen with sulfur rice tied to the backs were lit and their tails rushed towards the 400,000 army that swept over like crazy.
All kinds of fortifications that took a lot of time and manpower and material resources were all lost in just three days, and the enemy also paid a heavy price but absolutely no shake of the foundation.
All the fortifications were destroyed, and the enemy troops swarmed under the city wall like an ant colony. Except for the eight thousand defenders in Yinluo City, all the people, including the elderly, weak, women and children, even the twelve or thirteen-year-old children, kept throwing rubble and stones down the city.
How tragic the two sides are going back and forth!
"Open the door!" Qin Guang's armor had been stained with blood and turned dark purple. His face was covered in blood. He couldn't tell whether it was his own blood or the enemy's blood. His originally pretty face looked particularly ferocious, with a shocking white hair soaring, and he floated without wind.
"You have already gone in and out three times, let me go this time!" Xu Leifei was on his body, "The guards of Xu are ordered to follow the orders and follow me to fight out!"
Taking advantage of the opponent's repeated attacks and some rest, Xu Lei led his guards, the five hundred elite cavalry, to suddenly rush out. The coalition forces, who were about to bury the pot and make rice, quickly dropped the pot and bowl and fought in a hurry. After Xu Lei rushed for a while, the five hundred elite cavalry lost 100 and suddenly fell back to silver again.
"It's our turn next time!" The leader of the Rising Camp, mainly cavalry, held a horse war scimitar with his eyes wide open.
Although it is a city battle, there are many best strategies to defend blindly. While insisting on maximizing the damage to the enemy, they cannot be safe. Therefore, as long as the coalition forces have a little gap, Yin Luo will rush out a cavalry to rush for a while, disrupting the enemy's position and raiding the opponent's momentum.
Previously, Qin Guang had led the Blood Wolf Camp to three in and out, and most of its troops were exhausted. If he rushed out, he could no longer guarantee his return to the city safely. Xu Lei's five hundred guards were selected by the most elite soldiers in the Yinluo Army. He was mainly responsible for Xu Lei's safety on weekdays, and he acted as the sharp knife power of the combat troops during wartime! His combat power was no less than that of the city guards in Yasha City.
"Hey, what is that?" As Xu Lei rushed back, a guard cavalry came back, and accidentally raised his head and saw a white light green flying object, which was flying with hazy green light and wings galloping past.
"That is called a green pigeon, and it also belongs to the kind of monster. However, it is less aggressive and can be used by people after being tamed. It flies very fast and can travel 30,000 miles a day. It is a good idea to pass letters and send letters." Another guardian cavalry who saw the flying object at the same time said.
"Oh, then I'll have two more fun someday."
"Just think about it slowly. This kind of thing is even more rare than the high-level monsters in the hinterland of the mountain range. Even if you see it, you need a war soul lieutenant with more than four stars to be tamed. Otherwise, wait for it to peck on the eyes!"
"Oh." The guard cavalry seemed a little disappointed, and then he was shocked, "Send a letter! Could it be that the spy was involved in the Yinluo Town!"
