Chapter 726: Distressed City
Chapter 726: The City of Troubled
Mr. Xu summoned the lieutenant who was left on the city wall to approach and asked about the movements of the Shuangling tribe army outside the city after he returned to the city.
The Frost Spirit Clan's camp outside the west gate of Longcheng was completely destroyed, and the heads of the Frost Spirit Clan army must gather together to discuss countermeasures.
As long as you determine which camp these people are currently gathering in the south, east and north, and choose any camp where they are not there to launch a raid, the expected results can be achieved.
After some inquiry, Mr. Xu learned that the leaders of the Frost Spirit Clan had gathered in the camp outside the South Gate.
In other words, at this moment, you can just raid any camp outside the North Gate and the East Gate.
But to be cautious, raiding the North Gate Camp is the safest.
Since that's the case, then send troops!
Another raid, lightning attack!
Mr. Xu and his men galloped all the way, burning the North City Gate Camp of the Frost Ling people. As for how many casualties caused to the other party, time was tight and there was no time to evaluate.
In short, although the results of this battle were not as good as the raid on the camp outside the West Gate of the Frost Spirit Man, the attack on the Frost Spirit Man was not much worse.
"This is a shame!"
When the news that the camp outside the North City Gate was burned by Mr. Xu, the fire attack and attack of the Frost Spirit Clan nobles reached the ears of the Frost Spirit Clan nobles, these Frost Spirit Clan nobles immediately exploded.
"You can't compromise and attack the city!"
"Attack day and night!"
"Massacre the city!"
"The glory of God cannot be blasphemed!"
The nobles who decided to negotiate with Mr. Xu a moment ago suddenly changed their minds.
If Mr. Xu knew that the Shuangling Man had planned to negotiate with him, but he was dismissed by his operation, he would probably regret it for a while.
After all, if we can use negotiations to delay time, Mr. Xu will definitely be undesirable.
The advantage of the Frost Spirit tribe is in the snowy seasons, not in the warm weather, especially in the hot weather.
Therefore, if you can delay the battle until summer, it would be the best.
Unfortunately, Mr. Xu didn't know that he had such an opportunity.
Mr. Xu led his men to raid the camp in the north of the city and returned with great victory.
The momentum of the military and civilians in the city rose again.
However, in the middle of the night, the Frost Spirit Man launched an unexpected attack.
If Mr. Xu had not been able to observe the movements of the Frost Spirit Man day and night, he might have been caught off guard by the night attack of the Frost Spirit Man.
Mr. Xu, who had been prepared, did not make any noise, but looked unaware of it. He waited for the Frost Spirit people to approach the city wall in large numbers before he suddenly launched an attack.
The stone catapult was the first to throw a tinder tank to illuminate the night.
Then arrows were like rain, covering the savage army under the city.
The unprepared Frost Spirit Army suffered an unprecedented blow, and in just a short moment, at least thousands of people were lost.
The Frost Spirit Man's attack was blocked and he could only leave the body and retreat in a panic.
This attack was the first time since the Shuangling people started the siege, they suffered the most tragic loss without even climbing the city wall.
It didn't even cause any loss to Mr. Xu and others who were guarding the city.
"Is this here to be funny?"
Mr. Xu waited for the Shuangling people to retreat, looking puzzled.
If the Frost Spirit Man has been using this method to attack the city, then the Frost Spirit Man will not have any impact on them.
But it is obvious that this night scene was an accident.
...
After a brief and failed night attack, the Frost Spirit Man calmed down.
Until dawn, the Frost Spirit Man did not move any more.
But when the sky was bright, the attack of the Frost Spirit Man came as promised.
This time, the Frost Spirit Man was different from usual. He did not climb the city wall in large numbers, but instead focused on attacking the four gates of Longcheng.
The sturdy Frost Spirit tribe people carried the giant trees and hit the city gate again and again.
Although the gate of Longcheng is strong, it will sooner or later be broken under such impact.
On the city gate tower, rolling wooden stones were constantly smashed and tinder oil was spilled, trying to kill all the Frost Spirit tribe members who hit the city gate.
However, the other party seemed to be stubborn, no matter how many people died, they were still hitting the city gate regardless of the situation.
"Marty, the East Gate is almost unable to hold on!"
After most of the day, unfortunate news came from the guard of the East Gate.
Mr. Xu took a deep breath and could only order the city gate to be completely blocked.
In this way, even if the Frost Spirit Man breaks through the city gate, he will not be able to rush into the city.
But in this way, Mr. Xu and others in the city would not want to leave the city through the east gate.
And this is not the worst.
The worst thing is that once the four city gates have to be blocked, then Longcheng will become a trapped city. They can only passively withstand the attack of the Frost Spirit tribe and have no chance of counterattacking at any time.
Obviously, the Frost Spirit Clan is making this idea.
"Master, we cannot let the Frost Spirit Clan continue like this. Once the four city gates are not protected, we will be completely trapped in the city!"
"This may not be true!"
Mr. Xu smiled and waved his hand suddenly, saying, "Tell me the order and block all the city gates!"
Want to block yourself in the city?
It's just a joke!
You, the Frost Spirit, can even think of digging a hole to attack the city. So, isn’t it reasonable for me to dig a hole from the city to the outside of the city?
War is a treacherous way.
Mr. Xu thought of the tactic of digging tunnels, so he naturally no longer had to worry about the city gate being blocked.
When the Frost Spirit Men thought they were trapped in the city, they could give them a huge surprise when they waited for the critical moment.
After Mr. Xu made up his plan, he naturally blocked the remaining three city gates.
Seeing that all four city gates were blocked, the people of the Frost Ling tribe had to retreat in a mess after breaking through the city gate.
"Tuoba Aofeng, hurry up, gather people and dig four authentic tunnels leading out of the city!"
“Dig a tunnel?”
Tuoba Aofeng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Mr. Xu meant.
The city gates were blocked, but they were not necessarily trapped in the city.
"I'll gather people now!"
Tuoba Aofeng understood what Mr. Xu meant and immediately went to summon people.
Although digging holes is not good at the Northern Barbarians, there are professional craftsmen in the city who can guide them. They don’t need to know how to dig holes, they just need to know how to work.
After all, digging a hole is a laborious job.
Coincidentally, the Northern Barbarians have never lacked strength.
...
When the four gates of Longcheng were sealed, the Shuangling tribe outside the city immediately chose to leave, not retreat, but headed towards Pingman City.
The news reached Mr. Xu's ears. Even though Mr. Xu was extremely calm, he was a little panicked now.
The people of the Frost Ling tribe were clearly preparing to concentrate their troops and take down Pingman City first.
Once Pingman City is conquered, it will be inevitable that the Northern Barbarians will fall outside Longcheng.
