Alien Summoning System

Chapter 256 Zhao Yun Arrives
The cluster of arrows rested firmly on the bowstring, and did not shoot out. The clusters of arrows shot out are often harmful, but they will never make people feel threatening. While not causing any real Shanghai, it is psychologically threatening.

This is a very simple strategy. Qilang is responsible for blocking Erlangshen, while Liulang shoots with a bow and arrow. Although Erlangshen's methods are much better than Qilang's, he is absolutely unable to achieve instant kills. With Liulang's silent archery as a threat, he You can't use all your body and mind on Shichiro.

Usually, the simpler the strategy, the more effective it is. After the confrontation for a long while, Yang Jian suddenly turned his horse's head and voluntarily withdrew from the battle circle, because the best chance to capture and kill the two of them had been lost, and it was nothing but a waste of time to continue the stalemate , Yang Jian doesn't like to do things that waste time.

"Second Master." Zhi Jian stepped forward and looked at Yang Jian puzzled, because they didn't have no chance. Zhi Jian and Xiao Tiangou had the ability to hold any of them back, but Yang Jian voluntarily gave up this time. Opportunity made him very puzzled, but regarding Yang Jian's decision, even if the Meishan brothers had doubts, they would never ask. They believed in Yang Jian's decision.

"Let's go." Yang Jian didn't say much, commanded the army, and left like this swaggeringly.

It wasn't until Yang Jian's army completely disappeared from sight that Liu Lang and Qi Lang were slightly relieved. An emergency document was sent to Luoyang.

Whether it is Yang Jian or the 50 army, it is too difficult for Xiao Guan. What's more, Yang Jian is different from Zhi Jian, not only is his martial arts superb, but also his ability to command troops is not bad at all.

From the second day on, with the sound of sobbing horns, the army of the Western Regions under the organization of Yang Jian launched a fierce attack on Xiao Guan.

The art of war emphasizes that attacking the city is the bottom, and attacking the heart is the top. Generally, on the battlefield of cold weapons, the attacking party will first think of various methods to lure the enemy out of the city for field battles. Siege is usually the last method. Once it enters the siege mode, That is usually very unfavorable to the attacking side, especially for a grand pass like Xiaoguan, many soldiers' arrow clusters can't hit the towers of others, and any stone thrown on the city wall can be crushed to death A siege soldier.

Therefore, for all famous generals in ancient and modern times, when marching and fighting, siege is often the last resort.

In the era of cold weapons, the means of siege came and went, such as ladders, door bumps, bows and arrows, and if conditions permit, there will be large siege equipment such as catapults and well fences.

This time Yang Jian gathered all the forces of the 36 countries in the Western Regions and came here with a great momentum, and naturally he was well prepared, but facing Xiao Guan, he was still powerless to blast open the city gate without using magical powers.

When Xiao Guan was designing, he gathered the best designers in the world. From the layout to the corresponding strategies for various means, as well as the surrounding terrain, all of them were taken into consideration. The height of eight feet alone was the highest level of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions. An insurmountable problem.

Not to mention that the arrows of ordinary soldiers can't shoot up, even if it is a ladder, it is difficult to reach that height. Two ladders have to be stacked together to climb, but the defense of the city is very easy. The concave wall design and The slightly inclined slope allows the archers on the city wall to shoot at the siege enemies in all directions without dead ends. There are also holes on the surface of the city wall, where soldiers are hidden, and they can shoot and kill passing enemies from these holes. And because the pothole is very small, it is almost impossible for the siege soldiers outside to cause damage to the defenders hiding in the hole.

The final direct result is that after the siege of the city in one day, the Western Region coalition forces who attacked the city suffered heavy casualties, while the defenders suffered negligible damage.

If this ratio continues to be consumed, the 50 coalition forces that will attack the city must be the first to be consumed. Of course, if this is the case, it is estimated that the war is not halfway through, and this huge Western Region coalition force will collapse on its own. up.

In the coalition army camp, Yang Jian listened to his subordinates' report with a blank expression.

"Second Lord, if we continue to fight this battle, I'm afraid we won't be able to carry it." Zhijian pointed to the map with some depression and said, "Our catapult can hit 180 steps at most, but the opponent's catapult is not only faster than our The shooting range is farther, and with the help of the height of the city wall, it can reach a distance of [-] steps, and our catapults have no way to get close, let alone cover the well curb."

The range of 120 steps is short. For the slow-moving catapults and well curbs, within these 120 steps, they are almost like living targets and are bombarded to death. There is no chance to fight back. It is just this day. In the city, there were more than a dozen catapults that were smashed during the siege. Later, they didn't dare to push the catapults up, and they would die if they went up.

"In front of Xiaoguan is a large open space without any cover, and the guards at Xiaoguan are very vicious. Seeing that our catapult can't get up, they use the catapult to launch gravel. Although there is no boulder to shake, the lethality is even greater. Big, more than half of the damage today was caused by the gravel thrown out by those catapults." Another general from the Western Regions who knew Chinese said bitterly.

This is aggression, and blame the vicious methods?
Yang Jian glanced at the general, and a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. Since he was on the battlefield, he should have the consciousness of mortal death. He didn't talk about finding a way to solve it, but complained about the inhumane methods of the other party. Without them, these barbarians from the Western Regions would be afraid It is the defense of Xiaoguan that cannot be broken for 100 years.

With a wave of Yang Jian's hand, a huge sand table appeared in front of everyone. Under the amazed eyes of all generals from the Western Regions, the sand table continued to squirm, gradually showing the surrounding terrain, mountains and rivers and the outline of Xiaoguan vividly.

"Since a strong attack is not enough, try digging a tunnel and see if you can dig a tunnel directly from the ground leading to the interior of Xiaoguan." Yang Jian pointed to the ground and said: "In addition, here, here, we need to build a tunnel." Using the ten-meter-high earthen wall as a cover, we will advance our front line layer by layer, so as to minimize losses.”

Following Yang Jian's words, the position before Xiaoguan on the sand table began to bulge with earth walls more than three feet wide and one foot thick. It can't cause a large amount of damage, and it also cripples the attack ability of the opponent's arrow clusters. The only disadvantage is that it is by no means possible to build such a huge project in a short time, but facing a grand pass like Xiaoguan, if you are authentic If the method does not work, it will only take time to break through.

Ordinary tactics are not feasible for two outstanding generals who have experienced many battles. In Yang Jian's view, the brothers Xiao Guanshang are absolutely excellent in terms of fighting, and they are very excellent.

For this kind of enemy, the quick success and instant benefit will usually result in the opposite of the expected result. His road is not the main attack. It is enough to contain the two brothers, and it can greatly consume the national power of the 36 countries in the Western Regions. Even if the gods are destroyed in the future It will be easier for them to set things right and turn their guns to deal with these Hu people outside the Great Wall, so Yang Jian is not in a hurry.

Xiao Guan, the Protector's Mansion, at this moment the Yang family brothers looked at Zhao Yun in overjoy. They didn't expect that Zhao Yun would arrive at Xiao Guan so quickly, and he brought fifty thousand elites with him.

If Yang Jian is the God of War in the Heavenly Court, then Zhao Yun is the well-deserved God of War in the Shenwu Empire. Yang Jian is good at martial arts, but Zhao Yun is also good, especially after the final battle with Huode Tianjun, who was aliased Xue Feiyu, his marksmanship broke through to the top. A new height, over the past 100 years, Zhao Yun's marksmanship has become more and more sophisticated. Later, Zhao Yun once said frankly that if the battle of that year was repeated, he was confident that he could defeat Xue Feiyu at that time within three moves.

The arrival of Zhao Yun also gave them a reassurance.

"So, there are only two people on the other side." After hearing the descriptions of the two, Zhao Yun said calmly. He obviously didn't care about the 50 Western Region coalition forces. Zhao Yun cared about the other party's reincarnated immortal.

"That's right, that Zhijian is not very powerful, Qilang can suppress him, but that Yang Jian is very powerful, the three-pointed double-edged sword is extremely weird, we both made a move, and we were almost captured by him." Liulang nodded.

"Yang Jian?" Zhao Yun nodded upon hearing the words, with a little excitement in his eyes.

"The commander-in-chief knows this person?" Liu Lang asked in surprise.

"I heard His Majesty mentioned that he is the number one general in the Heavenly Court. He shined brilliantly in the battle of conferred gods, and made great contributions to King Wu. He was also the only general who conferred the gods with his body in that battle. It's a pity that because of his background, he didn't I am pleased by the Jade Emperor." Zhao Yun nodded.

"Birthplace?" The eyes of the brothers Liu Lang and Qi Lang revealed a trace of gossip.

"I'll talk about that later." Looking at the two of them, Zhao Yun smiled and said, "Since I'm here, I will naturally meet him, but Qilang, you should leave immediately and rush to Yanmen Pass to help His Majesty."

"Ah?" Qilang was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Then Xiao Guan..."

"Xiaoguan has me and Liulang sitting in the town, which is enough to deal with Yang Jian and that Zhijian. On the contrary, there is only Dalang by His Majesty's side now, but you should be clear that that is the main battlefield. Xiaoguan's battle will not last long. It may be finished, and you should rush to Yanmen Pass immediately to help His Majesty." Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "I will write a letter to explain the reason to Your Majesty later."

Now Zhuo Ao's subordinates can deal with the reincarnation of immortals, only six people, Xu Da was sent to Yanzhou to deal with Huang Tianxiang, Shiro assisted him, he couldn't go away for a while, and although the opponent here is difficult, but Zhao Yun has seen the battle, so It will be a war of attrition, and the remaining three generals will not be able to defeat the Western Region coalition led by Yang Jian in a short time. It is better to let Qilang go to help the battle, and it can also share some of Zhuo Ao's pressure. After all, no matter how powerful Zhuo Ao is, it is difficult to fight Four enemies, as for the queens and concubines, whether it is Zhuo Ao, Zhao Yun and others, they don't want women to go to the battlefield until the critical moment. After all, fighting is a man's business.

"Yes." Qilang nodded when he heard the words. He prefers to charge forward, but staying here, at least for now, it seems that there are not many such opportunities.
