Chapter 99: The Arrival of Xiliu Camp
At the Battle Spirit Guild coalition camp, Wu Sangui's expression was not very good. Nearly one-fifth of the 500 cavalry were lost, and they were unable to prevent Zhou Yafu's reinforcements from entering Xueyue Town.
With Zhou Yafu assisting in defense, Xueyue Town was even more watertight. Several attacks launched by the War Spirit Guild were repelled.
The Lords of the War Spirit Guild were originally full of confidence, but with the defeat, their morale declined and they became timid.
"Why don't we retreat for now."
The lords of the Seventeenth Town of the War Spirit Guild retreated, and everyone's eyes were focused on Qi Xiaobai.
Faced with a difficult situation, Qi Xiaobai paced uneasily, weighing the pros and cons.
"You can't retreat, you can only attack!"
Wu Sangui stepped forward to take the lead.
"Why?"
"You have come to attack the enemy with all the troops in the town, and have created a conflict with the opponent. If you don't defeat the opponent with all your strength, you will turn the offensive into the defensive, and you will be passive everywhere!"
Wu Sangui firmly took the lead in the battle.
"You are just a general, the real decision maker is our president."
Some lords were upset when they saw that Wu Sangui, a military general, was going against them.
Although the opponent was a historical military general, none of the lords present were willing to admit that they were inferior to Wu Sangui. In the eyes of the lords, Wu Sangui only had higher attributes, and his intelligence was not necessarily higher than theirs.
Wu Sangui's face turned gloomy after being scolded by other lords.
When the war was going well, every lord sought after him. Once the war reached a stalemate, these lords questioned his ability.
Qi Xiaobai noticed that Wu Sangui's loyalty had declined and quickly said: "General Wu made this judgment after reviewing the situation. Since we have all enmity with the Wolf Guild, we must defeat them. General Wu, you are still the attacker this time.
City Commander, we must carry out the last storm and capture Xueyue Town."
"yes!"
Wu Sangui organized all the forces of the War Spirit Guild to launch the final offensive.
As Wu Sangui's lord, Qi Xiaobai had extremely complicated emotions when facing this general. Wu Sangui's biggest problem was not his ability, but his character. His loyalty fluctuated. To control such a subordinate was a challenge for the lord.
huge challenge.
"In the final analysis, Wu Sangui is useless. If it were Han Xin, Bai Qi, and Li Jing, they could also win by commanding lower-level troops."
"Han Xin and the others are powerful, but no one has recruited them at all now. Wu Sangui is already a first-class commander, but he has not yet been able to capture the opponent's town. It can only be said that the opponent has made complete preparations to defend the city, and may even have historical facts.
General."
Why didn't Qi Xiaobai want to recruit Han Xin, Wu Qi and others? That way there would be no need to use the unreliable Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui was still very brave in fighting, and once again led the Yunlai team to attack Xueyue Town.
The battlefield was littered with arrows, and even heavy infantrymen could be hit by arrows in vital parts and killed instantly.
The War Spirit Guild's offensive has reached fever pitch. There have been at least hundreds of casualties in this siege, and both sides are aware of what this means.
If Xueyue Town is captured, then the northern part of Kaiyang County will become the territory of the War Spirit Guild.
On the contrary, if such a fierce offensive fails to capture Xueyue Town, the siege team will fail and the offensive and defensive forces will change.
Zhou Yafu serves as the commander of the city defense. With the bonus of high-grade rammed earth walls and Zhou Yafu's A-level characteristic "Defend", Xueyue Town is so impregnable that Wu Sangui has never been able to break through it.
Wu Sangui was very depressed. The bonus he gave to the army was not bad, but why was the defense on the opposite side so tight? Moreover, the death rate of the defenders was not high, but the attackers suffered numerous casualties.
The only variable is Wu Sangui. He can rely on his personal force and use the narrow terrain of the city wall to break through. However, Zhou Yafu and Xue Yue already knew that one of the enemy generals was not weak in military force, so they dispatched crossbowmen to specifically target him.
Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui's armor and temperament were completely different from the other soldiers. When Wu Sangui led the infantry to climb the city wall, dozens of crossbow arrows were fired at Wu Sangui.
Wu Sangui blocked the crossbow arrows with his Yan Ling Dao, and two light infantrymen beside him were directly killed by random arrows.
"Well……"
An arrow hit Wu Sangui's shoulder armor, and Wu Sangui let out a groan. He gritted his teeth and looked at the top of the city wall, where a general in armor was bending his bow and nocking an arrow, preparing to shoot the second arrow.
Wu Sangui immediately used his shield to block the direction of the arrow. The sharp arrows were stuck on the shield, making the shield look like a hedgehog.
"This man's martial prowess is indeed extraordinary. He is a fierce general."
Zhou Yafu found that he could not use a longbow to kill Wu Sangui. It can be concluded that in terms of pure force, the opponent should be superior to him.
Although it was difficult to kill Wu Sangui, the continuous rain of arrows added a lot of trouble to Wu Sangui. If Wu Sangui wanted to climb the city, he had to break the rain of arrows.
In addition to the rain of arrows, he also had to avoid flying stones, fire oil, cold water, and Yaksha beatings. Even if he barely managed to reach the city, the defenders would use spears to drive them away.
Wu Sangui had no choice but to attack by force to capture the town as soon as possible and show his strength to the lords of the Fighting Soul Guild.
…
The two sides were in a stalemate on the Xueyue Town battlefield, and in the south of Xueyue Town, Chu Tian, the lord of Xia Town, quietly approached the battlefield with his follow-up troops.
The follow-up troops include 500 Xiliu Battalion infantry and 200 light cavalry!
The reason why I approached quietly was because... only by making a silent noise can one make a fortune.
"The scouts ahead reported that the enemy camp has been discovered, three kilometers away from us."
Hua Mulan's cavalry came back to report.
"very good."
Chu Tian rubbed his hands excitedly and rushed into the enemy camp from behind. This time he wanted to surprise the Fighting Spirit Guild.
Hua Mulan asked for instructions: "How does the lord plan to act?"
"You lead the light cavalry back to the north. Wait for the Xiliu camp to attack from the front. When you hear the shouts of killing, carry out a pincer attack."
"yes!"
Two hundred light cavalry separated from the main force and used the mobility of the light cavalry to make a detour.
Chutian appointed Chen Dao, a silver-level infantry general, to take over Zhou Yafu's temporary command of Xiliu Camp.
【Name】:Chen Dao
[Talent]: Silver level (ordinary hero)
【Level】:41
[Identity]: A hero in Yunlai Town who fights injustices
[Commander]: 42 [Force]: 47 [Intelligence]: 37 [Politics]: 21 [Charm]: 71
[Characteristic]: Majestic·Small (D-level characteristic, enemy morale decreases slightly during battle)
This was just an ordinary hero. Chu Tian saw that his characteristics were good and somewhat similar to those of Zhang Liao, so he appointed him as the deputy general of the infantry and temporarily commanded Xiliu Camp.
Zhou Yafu is trapped in Xueyue Town. Xiliu Camp does not have Zhou Yafu's bonus, but the attributes of the sixth-level troops are already very strong. Any general can display their basic abilities.
Chu Tian ordered Chen Dao to go to the front and lead Xiliu Camp to launch an assault.
The Xiliu Camp is a special unit of the Western Han Dynasty. They are well-equipped and hold 2.3-meter-long iron halberds. The fifty Xiliu Camp infantry standing at the front are equipped with Han Xuan iron armor that Chutian spent a lot of silver to build. They have strong
Defense. The Xiliu Battalion infantry in the rear took down their infantry crossbows for long-range support.
