Chapter 626 Negotiation
The result of this battle was much beyond Xiao Quan's expectations. Xiao Quan originally thought that he could easily take down the east gate of Heisha City. After all, there were only 30,000 enemies inside, and he had to scatter the guards of Heisha City. His vanguard attacking troops included the cannon fodder troops, which was 40,000 to 50,000. However, as a result, the battle was actually failed, and there were so many casualties.
The most annoying thing is that the casualties were all his elite soldiers, but the cannon fodder troops did not suffer much casualties.
You should know that those lost elite Black Wind Thieves are the essence of the Black Wind Legion, especially those heavy infantry and quasi-warriors, warrior-level Black Wind Thieves, and even the elites among the elites. Now they are so simple and large-scale to be buried under the small East City of Black Sha City. Xiao Quan could imagine how other people in the sand city would laugh at him after they knew about this.
Xiao Quan suffered a loss under Stormwind City before. Now he has led so many troops and has suffered a considerable loss in his old nest, Heisha City. At this moment, Xiao Quan really wanted to kill Lu Ming.
Xiao Quan's thrust directly hit Lu Ming with a total of 100 whips. At this time, he stopped.
If Lu Ming hadn't been a general that Xiao Quan had always valued very much, Xiao Quan would have killed Lu Ming this time with his failure.
However, death penalty is spared, and living punishment is inevitable. Xiao Quan punished Lu Ming with a hundred whip as a lesson.
After Xiao Quan personally executed a hundred whip, Lu Ming came to Xiao Quan in front of him regardless of his injuries and said, "The city lord is not a humble person, but the enemy in the city is too cunning. Moreover, the number of enemies is far more than the amount of information we have obtained before. It is just that there are no less than 15,000 elite soldiers hidden in the East City Gate. They are all green and strong, and their armors are extremely exquisite. What's more, it is more worrying that these armies are definitely not ordinary troops. Before the humble person, they have outstanding combat power. I am afraid that these troops are the most elite troops of the Chu State."
Speaking of this, maybe the injuries on his body were indeed not light, Lu Ming's mouth twitched a few times.
After seeing this, Xiao Quan waved his right hand and suddenly, a personal guard next to him came to Lu Ming to help him treat his injuries.
"Thank you, Lord City!" Lu Ming thanked first, and then continued, "City Lord, I always thought that there were only four or five thousand people in the East City Gate. Therefore, at the beginning, I only sent less than five thousand people to attack the city. The supporters behind me also set out in batches. I only did this to reduce casualties as much as possible. However, I didn't expect that the number of enemies in the East City Gate was not four or five thousand, but ten thousand, and our troops fell directly into the trap. Every soldier had to face at least three or four people, not to mention the enemy had a solid city wall... This is the responsibility of the failure of this battle against Immortal, but I would like to report the huge mistakes above, which is also a big reason!"
At this point, tears flowed from Lu Ming's eyes, and even burst into tears. This was Lu Ming's self-protection strategy. He wanted to use the pain tears shed due to heavy losses due to the intelligence errors of his soldiers to win Xiao Quan's compassion.
When Lu Ming started crying, several black wind thieves with scars on his body were also lying beside him, saying, "Not bad, the city lord, the number of enemies in the city is no less than 15,000. Bei Zhi and others personally climbed the city wall and saw black heads, and there were countless people carrying supplies behind them.
What's even more amazing is that their archer troops are really too sharp. Unlike our archer troops, they will pause for a period of time due to strength. I don't know if the enemy archer troops are unable to use up their strength or for some other reason. From the moment we enter the archer range, the attack of the archer continued. Such powerful archer troops have never seen before. Half of the archer subordinates, half of the archer troops, died in these endless archer troops."
When they talked about this, their faces showed a look of lingering fear: "Master, the power of the archers on the city wall is really too fierce. The arrows used are all heavy arrows. Therefore, those heavy infantry wearing two layers of heavy armor were still shot through by their archers. Finally, they were shot into hedgehogs one by one!"
Hearing these words, everyone in the tent started to whisper and whisper, with a look of surprise on their faces. Even Xiao Quan above asked with a puzzled look: "Really? The enemy's archer troops on the city wall are so powerful? There are really 15,000 enemies in the city?"
Hearing Xiao Quan's words eased, Lu Ming and other Black Wind Thieves below were all aiming at the sky and earth, swearing that what he said was true, and in order to prove that what he said was indeed correct, he also brought several corpses of heavy infantrymen.
"Master Lord, please see, the corpses of these heavy infantry were brought back by us, but each of them had less than five bows and arrows, and they were all heavy arrows!"
After saying that, Lu Ming endured the pain of the whip on his back, pulled out several heavy arrows from the body of the heavy infantry and handed them to Xiao Quan to see.
Xiao Quan took it over and looked carefully. It was indeed heavy arrows. He believed what Lu Ming and the others said.
"Chengji, Lu Ming and the others are right. What's the matter with the information you are responsible for?" Xiao Quan looked at his eldest son with a stern face and asked sternly.
"Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"
Xiao Chengji coughed, with a hint of unnatural expression on his face, "Father, I don't blame me for this matter. Most of my men have been arranged to see the situation of Stormwind City behind me. There are less than ten people assigned to Heisha City. Heisha City is now strictly blocked by the enemy, so it is very difficult for me to get the prepared information."
Xiao Chengji looked helpless, and he didn't want such an intelligence error. However, his subordinates were sent to the back to monitor the situation of Stormwind City. Now it is really difficult to find out the details in the Black Sand City.
"This..." Xiao Quan, the first in the top, was speechless. He then remembered that he had asked his son to send all his people to see the Stormwind City behind, so as not to fight against Stormwind City after learning that the Black Sand City was occupied by a mysterious enemy, and the fisherman would benefit.
"Forget it, this is my mistake. You won't blame you for this matter!" Xiao Quan was indeed very broad-minded and directly admitted that this matter was his own mistake.
Then, Xiao Quan asked again: "Inheritance, do you think there are indeed so many enemies in the city now?"
Xiao Chengji lowered his head and thought for a while, and quickly replied: "Father, I think what Lord Lu Ming and his friends said just now is indeed the truth. The city wall must be more than the four or five thousand people we thought before, but 14 or five thousand people. According to consistent experience, if the number of enemies guarding the city wall is only four or five thousand, the power they can exert is less than half of the current ones, and many archers have to be removed. In this way, their warable soldiers will have to go half. In this way, there will be no such fierce counterattack force.
More importantly, our soldiers have already climbed the city. According to common sense, once a large number of people climbed the city wall, if the enemy does not have enough back strength, the city will be broken soon. However, they have enough strength to fight with our soldiers on the city wall. At the same time, the archer troops have always maintained their output. It can be seen that the enemy on the city wall has sufficient troops and there is no need to draw the melee defense of the archer troops. If there is no sufficient force on the city wall, the archer troops will never be able to maintain their output all the time!"
Xiao Chengji paused for a moment, frowned on his forehead, and said to Xiao Quan: "Father, do you remember the night of the enemy we captured before?"
"Isn't the night I captured before?" Xiao Quan asked in his heart, and his son asked what he was doing.
"Remember, what's wrong? Is there any problem here?" Xiao Quan asked with a puzzled look on his face.
"Father, don't you think he is different from others?!"
“Different?”
"Yes, father, Ye Buyan is not a dead soldier. After being captured, the first move to restore his movements was suicide. Ye Buyan does not have the determination of Ye Buyan. Many Ye Buyan's mouths are indeed very strict, but we can still get the information we want from his mouth. But look at the Ye Buyan whom we captured before, after being captured, his face was so calm and calm, and he did not look like he was captured at all.
Finally, when the time of the point was about to pass and the true energy in the body began to resume operation, Ye Bu Shuo didn't think about it, and directly used a self-harm technique similar to the blood burning **. At the first moment of the attack's sharp rise, he did not choose to escape, but directly killed a few of our elite whistle drivers and committed suicide. Father, have you seen such Ye Bu Shuo?" Xiao Chengji asked back.
"This..." Xiao Quan was speechless, and a solemn expression appeared on his face for the first time.
