Chapter 225 The Order (1)

The people of Wenjin City have been evacuated for more than ten days. In the past ten days, the number of Shanyue soldiers has increased by almost a few thousand every day.

Now the camp of Shanyue soldiers has expanded several times, and the number of soldiers has reached 50,000 or 60,000. From one city wall to now the battle of four city walls, Wenjin City is surrounded by these 50,000 or 60,000 mountain Yue soldiers.

But Cons and the soldiers didn't care much.

This slowly increasing concentration battle can best train soldiers. After more than ten days, one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening, the soldiers can be said to have all rotated dozens of times, which means that they participated in more than ten battles, and almost everyone had blood on their hands. They could be said to be veterans.

During the past ten days of battle, the Shanyue soldiers' siege weapons became more and more advanced. From the beginning, the ladder was threatened, and then the arrow tower and the city-hitting car appeared. The two things behind, especially the triangular city-hitting car, were really helpless at the beginning.

However, it is true that war can make people progress. The arrow tower was burned with bows and arrows with small oil tanks. A thick-skinned and fire-resistant car crashing is easier. Wouldn't it hit the city? When it came to the city, it threw down a pile of hay, poured a can of oil, and set the fire. Before the car caught fire, the people inside were smoked to death.

Later, a catapult cart appeared. When this thing first appeared, everyone was shocked. It was too far away and could not be destroyed at all. However, I don’t know if the technology is insufficient or the materials are not good. The catapult cart cannot throw big stones, and it is not accurate enough. Sometimes it is thrown into the city and sometimes outside the city.

After gaining experience, all these catapults can be thrown onto the city tower.

However, Cons' soldiers also had experience. When they saw that the catapult car was activated, they all raised their shields and killed them with one hand. As long as the small stones they emitted would not be lost as long as they were not directly hit the head, they would not be lost. Even if they were hit, they would just be unconscious. Therefore, Cons soon regarded the catapult car as not present.

Thought that with the help of the catapult, the Shanyue soldiers who were excited and eager to attack the city tower were hit by their catapult several times and went back to protest, the Shanyue soldiers' catapult disappeared on the battlefield.

With so much siege equipment, the biggest loss to the Cons soldier is the ladder.

This area is a world of mountains and forests, and there is nothing else. There are wood everywhere. With the large number of people, the most powerful Shanyue soldiers was built. There were actually a thousand ladders on each city wall. You should know that the city wall is only a few kilometers long, and only a ladder is only a few meters long. The density is amazing.

The scene of four thousand ladders climbing over the crowd was so terrifying that even Cons thought it could not be stopped, so he personally led the supervisory team to fight.

But unfortunately, there are too many ladders, and there are fewer people climbing each ladder. Think about it, a ladder requires at least four people to support it, and there are 16,000 people here that cannot participate in the battle. There are at least two thousand archers on each city wall, and there are eight thousand people missing. The remaining 20,000 people are allocated, and only five or six people climb each ladder.

After leaving some people to defend the archers, I could still do it. This battle was the biggest loss for Shanyue soldiers, because the Cons cut down two or three people on each ladder, and the Shanyue soldiers lost more than 10,000 at one time.

The losses in the past few days have not been greater than this time. Although there have been more and more Shanyue soldiers, they have never used more than a thousand ladders.

The Shanyue soldiers were repelled again. The soldiers no longer had the excitement they had before, nor were they sad about their comrades' departure. They just used to evacuate the whole team.

Cons has always maintained a rotation system, and only the most dangerous siege was the entire army. Now these soldiers can be said to be all elite veterans.

The Mountain Regiment did not show up in the first few days of the battle, but began to join the battle more and more frequently in the next few days.

How do you know which person is a member of the Mountain Group? As long as you see a strong man who is quick to see, rushing up the city tower and chopping up a few people and then retreating, he must be a member of the Mountain Group.

When encountering such a guy, the Cons soldiers called their friends to siege. After killing two or three hundred such characters, they no longer had a man who fought and evacuated one by one like a lone hero. However, they changed to Shanyue elites who knew how to cooperate and advance and retreat. It can be said that everyone had experienced it.

"Sir, depending on the situation, the bandits' large army is coming. Are we looking for an opportunity to evacuate?" Okor's face now has a little more firmness. The frequent battles inevitably led to him participating in more than a dozen battles and suffered several minor injuries on his body.

Okor’s biggest feeling about the battles these days is that this guy Cons is not a human!

He participated in all the battles throughout the process, but he still didn't lose a single hair. Instead, he was the guy who killed the most among everyone!

Those who are difficult to deal with, needing a large number of people and paying a certain price to kill, Cons can actually kill a member of the mountain regiment with one or two more wielding more than ordinary soldiers!

After realizing this, Okor, who was very proud, automatically forgot his previous desire to compete with Cons in martial arts.

After looking at the scene in the city, I saw a ruin. All the houses were demolished by the Cons soldiers to make city defense supplies. In response, Cons could only sigh and said, "Well, depending on the situation, the opponent's attack was getting more and more fierce. I paid attention. At least thousands of members of the mountain regiment were dispatched this time."

"Ah, thousands, what a big deal, no wonder the loss this time was so big." Okor said smacking his lips.

"Well, how have the losses of both the enemy and us so far?" Cons asked.

"I don't know how many wounded soldiers of the bandits are, but there are more than 27,000 corpses buried. More than 7,000 people died in battle, and about 3,000 disabled people." Okor replied. He, who was in charge of the resting troops and logistics, was very clear about these numbers.

"Well, that is to say, we only have eight thousand soldiers to fight? It seems that I was a little arrogant at the beginning. I dared to say that 20,000 people can defend the city for more than three months. Now it is only about half a month, and there are only eight thousand people left." Cons mocked himself.

Okor comforted, "Brother, these eight thousand people are not comparable to those 20,000 people in the past. Most of the soldiers we killed were caused in the first few days. The number of casualties in these days is only over a hundred, but the bandits have dropped one or two thousand people every time. These eight thousand people can completely fight against a regular brigade!"

Speaking of this, Okor immediately became excited. Anyone who knew that the troops in his hands were so brave would be so excited.

"It's true, but unfortunately we fight less and less, and the opponent fights more and more. Look at their current number of people, plus those who died in battle, they have gathered 100,000 soldiers." Cons said, looking at the already huge camp outside the city.

"Yes, that's why we are about to evacuate. I'm afraid the provincial government is still dispatching troops. At the speed of the bandits' increase, the city will have been broken long ago when the division commander leads troops here." Okor continued to persuade.

He thought that since the elite soldiers had been trained, then retreat, otherwise it would be a waste to put these elite soldiers here.

"Well, is the list of fallen brothers registered?" Cons asked.

Hearing this, Okol knew that Cons was about to evacuate, and hurriedly said, "The brothers' relics and ashes are arranged according to the army, and the wounded have made arrangements. With just one order, they can board the carriage and evacuate immediately."

When the people evacuated, the wealthy families left hundreds of horses for Cons, some of the strong men were carpenters and blacksmiths. Making simple carriages was a specialty. So Cons now has carriages that were enough to carry wounded soldiers and martyrs' ashes.

Cons nodded: "Well, since that's the case, prepare immediately and withdraw tonight."

"Ah? Oh, yes, but there is still a lot of food and supplies left. How to deal with these?" Okor couldn't understand how to say that wind was rain. He just discussed when to evacuate, but it turned into evacuating immediately, but it would be fine, so as not to have too many dreams.

"First change the brothers a new set of clothes, prepare a month's ration, take away the weapons, check if there are any remaining supplies, check if there are any empty spaces in the carriage, load the carriage if they can be loaded, and the extra ones are piled at the gate of the city." Cons said.

"Pile at the gate of the city? Oh, stop the bandits from speed. Those savages must be just snatching these supplies when they see them. If the gate is blocked, see how long they will take to enter the city." Okor said with a smile.

"Sir, will the bandits attack at night tonight? I have been discovered by them before. Isn't it easy to chase us?" Xiangwen, who was beside him, suddenly spoke out.

Okor immediately said, "Hey, this is simple. Just let the brothers tie some straw men and put them on the armor and put them on the city tower, and light a torch next to it."

"Okay, just do it like that, go and prepare." Cons said.

When the order was heard, and when the majority of the soldiers breathed a sigh of relief when they knew that they were finally withdrawing.

Although I am used to fighting now and my body is still in a state due to the rotation system, my mind is very tired, and now I can finally relax.

With the wish of leaving quickly, the soldiers stopped eating dinner and quickly packed their luggage and prepared it when they were at night.

Seeing that the preparations were completed, Cons gave the order, and the slow horse was blocked and did not light a torch, so he opened the city gate in the dark.

The carriage was led a mile away, and the forward only lit a few torches to track the road, and the speed increased slightly. After walking about four or five kilometers, the whole team lit the torches and accelerated a little more. They ran for dozens of kilometers before stopping to find a corner to camp and rest.

Because the Shanyue soldiers were afraid of being defeated by the Cons soldiers, they did not camp at the other three gates except the original camp, and they were also used to the Cons soldiers trapping the city.

In their opinion, the abandonment of the guardian city by the Imperial Army was a serious crime, so no Shanyue people discovered that Cons and the others had quickly slipped away.

When Cons left the city, the Shanyue camp had already finished supper, rested and planned to fight.

In the main camp, Meng Lei was asking Tang Feng: "Uncle, the other leaders are very dissatisfied now. They sacrificed 20,000 to 30,000 people, but they did not even break through the city gate. They also accused me of being timid and avoiding the battle, saying that my soldiers only sacrificed two or three thousand.

"I think if I continue to drag it on, I'm afraid it will be blamed on my uncle. Now we have experience in siege, so ice oil should be available? No, no, our food stock is almost over."

Tang Feng smiled. It seemed that his nephew was impatient, but as he said, so many people died in battle without any progress. If they couldn't explain to those leaders, it would be bad if they thought the reputation of the mountain group was false.

So he nodded and said, "Since you want to use ice oil, then let's gather the heads tonight and let them see the tribes in the origin of the mountain. They are not comparable to those of these small tribes."

"Yes!" Meng Lei immediately said excitedly.

When the night was suddenly summoned, most of the Shanyue soldiers stood up weakly, and they wanted to prepare for the night attack again.

The Shanyue soldiers were not interested in such useless kung fu, because they fell and trampled to death on the road during the night attack than they died in battle. So many days of fighting without any effect made the fierce and warlike Shanyue soldiers lose interest in fighting.

However, after discovering that the entire battalion was mobilized and everyone was allowed to fire torches, the Shanyue soldiers were a little excited. Are they preparing to take a night siege?

But when they saw a catapult cart taking the lead, everyone was stunned, especially those who were the leader.

Why are you using a catapult again? Even if this catapult is well-made and the effect may be better than before, but what's the use of only one? Do you want to break through the city with such a catapult?

With a puzzled mood, tens of thousands of torches followed the catapult cart to the launch distance.

The catapult car began to adjust its position. When the catapult hand lit the oiled stones, the fired stones flew to the city in the distance. Flints flew over the night sky. It looked good, but when it hit the city gate, was it still so bad?

In everyone's ridiculous eyes, the catapult car threw flints several times, hitting the city gates every time. It was the first time to smash the foot of the city gate, the second time to smash the waist of the city gate, and the fourth time to hit the top of the city gate. Are you planning to use flints to ignite the city gate? Such a small amount of stone can't even knock on the city gate, let alone ignite. Although the city gate is made of wooden, it is inlaid with iron. No wonder people ignore it and let alone smash it.

The stone caster didn't give up and continued to prepare, but this time it was not the stones, but a few clay pots, and they didn't ignite the fire, so they threw them out. The sound of clay pots being broken can be heard. Oh, when the oil tank was used if it was not ignited, the heads thought it was self-righteous.

After throwing the clay pot a few more times, the flint was finally thrown again. The heads still looked mocking, please, even if the oil is added, there is still a layer of iron, but I have never heard of iron being burned by oil.

However, as a blazing flames spread across the city gates burned, the heads were shocked, and as the flames continued, their eyes and mouths became bigger and bigger.

After a while they shouted in shock, "Is this the legendary ice oil?"

The Shanyue soldiers didn't expect so much and all cheered.

The heads said with a proud look on his face, "Yes, dear heads, this is the ice oil that never stops watering. Even if the city gate is made of iron, it will turn into iron under the flames of ice oil. Without the city gate, let's see how they resist! This city will soon be ours!"

The thunderous words immediately made the heads and the Shanyue soldiers cheer together, OK, finally the day of breaking the city, I must take back the losses from the city!

Everyone looked at the fire excitedly, waiting for the first time to rush in when the fire went out.
Chapter completed!
