Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 724 fierce battle
This time the siege came and went quickly.

After the people on the top of the city were pushed down, the coalition forces retreated.

These teams of desperadoes also retreated quickly, and of course they were not in a hurry, and they were relatively orderly.

Lin Hong greeted them at the front line, and when he waved his hands, the surrounding troops cheered together as if they had won a battle.

Almost 1000 corpses were left on the top of the city.

The casualties of the defenders in the city may not even be 500 people, but a little defense equipment was consumed.

But I feel that the morale is still higher than others.

This is a question of charisma.

It's hard to imagine what kind of poisonous chicken soup Lin Hong gave those people. It's only been a long time since he met such a wife.

The two members of the Lin family are extraordinary. One has won the hearts of the people, and the other has won the hearts of the military. It is difficult to deal with them.

Then the coalition forces retreated slowly, and the veteran ordered the commander to pay close attention to the next attack.

On the way back, I found my grandson thinking.

"Why do you envy others?"

Yang Su shook his head, "It's not true, Grandpa, I'm just curious that he really has such a great charm, that he has such popularity among the scattered sands in just a few days?"

"You also said that this is not envy. Some people are born with this talent, and they can gain people's trust with just a few words. Lin Hong's own talent, qualifications, and identity are all manifestations of his charm. It is very important to be willing to work for him. It’s a normal thing, when you have someone worth following in the future, you will find that you will be as loyal to others as those people today, and willingly, that kind of person has such a leadership quality.”

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Who am I going to follow? Is there a better target than you to follow? Grandpa, I remember that when you were young and in charge of the army, the other dynasties didn't even have the intention to use force." Yang Su Laughed.

The old general stretched out his hand and flicked his grandson's head. "Putting up again, your little mouth is quite sweet, not like a lump of wood like your old father. Grandpa keeps you by my side now because you still have a lot to learn, and when you have learned enough, Grandpa There is nothing to teach you. You will definitely let go. Goshawks do not grow up in their own nests. They must soar in the blue sky to grow. Your abilities will be limited when you are around grandpa. You can only touch them yourself. Only when you have feelings can you transform knowledge into the driving force for your own progress, do you understand?"

Faced with the old general's persuasive teachings, Yang Su nodded silently. He already knew this situation well.It's just that he hasn't made the corresponding preparations yet, and now he is not a general in his own right, but a fledgling under the protection of his parents.

Lin Hong also got satisfactory results. First, he simulated a siege to let the people below familiarize himself with the operation.

Boost morale.

Also see if you can spot anyone.

Warriors have very good eyesight, especially those with high cultivation level, their eyesight is definitely not bad.

It can't be said that it can be seen at a glance, but it is possible to see some key places.

When it was found that someone was helping an old general up.

I began to search for familiar figures in my heart and eliminated them one by one.

Finally found the answer quickly.

At this age, people still need help. There are not many old people that Linde can afford to invite out, just a few.

The most likely to appear is his half-teacher, veteran Yang Xuan.

This one is an experienced opponent.

At the same time, it also made Lin Hong a little excited. Generals like to fight against excellent opponents. If they are some rookies, Lin Hong will not have much enthusiasm.

Now I would like to.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves.

If you can successfully defeat half of your teacher, it is also a sense of accomplishment.

It also represents that the younger generation has successfully defeated the older generation and has become a new standard, which plays a very important role.

Chen Zheng saw Lin Hong's high interest at a glance, and after thinking about the guard on the opposite side, he knew that Lin Hong was still a man of temperament in this respect.

This upper defense city must be broken, otherwise how could we let the two brothers lose both?

Next, the city guard will become a meat grinder, constantly consuming the accumulation of two people, and others are waiting to grab the final fruit of victory.

On the day he returned to the camp, Lin Hong called the middle-level and above personnel in the army to hold a battle meeting.

Chen Zheng also listened for a while.

No tricks are just straight-up battles.

Lin Hong is not going to continue to test.After knowing who the opponent is.The tentative operation seems relatively naive.

People are veterans with rich experience and will not give them too many opportunities.

Lin Hong's plan is to take turns to attack without interruption.

Now there are nearly 15 people here, half of them are elites, and the rest are temporary formations. Similarly, people will be added from the rear from time to time.

Lin Hong concentrates on fighting the war, while the other forces are responsible for the logistics and the war of public opinion. If they want to win, they must rely on Lin Hong.

Otherwise, unless the upper realm sends troops, people from these forces will not be able to fight alone.

So they can agree to Lin Hong's request as long as it is not excessive, because they can't come up with such a general to compete with Lin Hong.

The Daxi Dynasty was not monolithic with only one voice. Since there are those who support the Lin family, there are those who oppose it. Finally, there is an opportunity to deal with the Lin family. If you don’t take advantage of this opportunity, you may have no chance in the future.

For this reason, these forces can be said to be living by tightening their belts.

Everything is easy to say if you win, even if you lose, it's nothing.At least they have resisted, instead of slowly declining and dying.

Now that those forces are ready to compete, Lin Hong can also block them.

Divide the close to 15 people into five pairs, and ensure that each part has a corresponding mixed team of veterans and newcomers to be guaranteed.

Attack the upper defense city continuously in five batches.

When one team is attacking, the other four rest, and at the same time be alert to any possible attacks from the side or behind.

In addition to providing support through internal secret passages, the remaining three cities also sent mobile troops to assist from the outside.

For example, cavalry, the possibility of charging is relatively small.But harassment is still possible.

Such repeated attacks will have a great impact on the army. If it succeeds, everything will be fine, but if it fails, the morale of the army will easily be turbulent.

Lin Hong is also gambling.

What he gambled was that the quality of his own personnel could not be said to be completely sufficient, so the same was true for the defenders on the opposite side.

The strong offensive shakes not only his own heart, but also the other side's heart.

Yang Xuan has prestige, but his prestige is for soldiers. Anyone who is a soldier knows Yang Xuan's reputation.

But those gangsters and desperadoes may not necessarily buy it.

When their emotions break down, it is very likely to cause mutiny.

Even the phenomenon of battalion screams, it will be really easy to take advantage of the chaos and take down the upper guard city.

Lin Hong has a lot of portable siege equipment, which can be assembled directly.

Only a small part was used today, but more will be used tomorrow.

Today there are only ladders and siege towers, but don't forget that there are still catapults, wells and the like that have not been used yet?

When it is turned out tomorrow, it will be a large-scale performance of siege equipment.

Such a high-intensity battle naturally needs rewards, otherwise there will be no enthusiasm.

Lin Hong promised a lot of things like gold, silver and jewelry, and a lot of cultivation resources, which are material stimulation, and spiritual, such as preferential treatment from family members, status, power and so on.

It is impossible for people here to be without desires.

People who have no desires or desires will not appear here either.

Coupled with Lin Hong's poisonous chicken soup, each of them is like being beaten with chicken blood, and they can't wait to fight with the officers and soldiers immediately.

After the meeting was over, Lin Hong called Chen Zheng, not for anything else but for assistance.

Lin Hong pointed out that he already knew that people from the upper world were betting left and right.

My elder brother not only knows a little bit of information, but also helps them train the army, and my side only has some information but nothing else, isn't it a bit partial.

Since you want to compete, you should be on the same level. If you are here now, I will be at a disadvantage.

Chen Zheng already had a way to deal with it.

Also prepared in advance.

He took out a talisman paper and handed it to Lin Hong.

Lin Hong stretched out his hand to take it, and some of the runes on the talisman paper were unfamiliar to him.

Apparently unknown knowledge to them.

"A talisman? Does it have any specific effect?" Lin Hong's memory of the talisman doesn't seem to be very good.

It can heal wounds, set off fireballs and windblade thunder, but most of them are single-target damage, and the group attack area is relatively large but its power is not strong.

It is also because Fengyun Continent's skill level is limited and the materials are limited, so it is unable to exert the power of the talisman.

Chen Zheng slowly introduced the origin of the talisman, which is the barrier-breaking talisman.

It has very strong penetrability, and even the energy-based defense method of the shield formed by vitality can be easily dealt with, let alone deal with entities.

The methods of use are also very diverse.

It can be used on a weapon or thrown.

Of course, it can also be used on some attachments.Such as stones used for throwing or crossbows.

Originally, they were piercing damage, coupled with the barrier-breaking talisman, it was really even more powerful.

I am afraid that it will not double the power when used in siege equipment.

Of course, the amount of usage cannot be small.

Lin Hong doesn't need to worry about the cost. This batch is provided for free, and the subsequent ones will have to go at the market price.

After learning that the talisman had such a function, Lin Hong sent someone to test it.After using the barrier-breaking talisman, the bow and crossbow can easily shoot through one layer of iron armor, and the second layer can also easily penetrate the flesh.

Abnormally sharp, the effect is very good.

This is true even for crossbows. The stones thrown are more powerful. They already have a strong impact, and now they are penetrating.

If there are no new tricks in defending the city, Lin Hong is more confident in breaking it.

Still, he was a bit smarter.

"There is such a magical talisman. I don't know if there is a way to crack it." Lin Hong's concern is whether the upper world has provided the cracking method to Linde. If so, a dramatic scene may occur tomorrow.

And even if people sell goods on both sides, Lin Hong has no choice. Killing Zheng Chen has no effect on the upper realm. No matter how important a person is, he is dead. A dead person cannot be resurrected, and it is still the value of a living person. higher.

At that time, what Lin Hong will lose is the goodwill and trust of the upper realm, and he will completely push the upper realm to Lin De's side. When their eight thousand cavalry are dispatched, can they resist with so many people?
Even if it is resisted, how much will it sacrifice?

It's really unpredictable.

So Lin Hong would not do such stupid things.

He just needs to know an outcome to deal with it.

Chen Zheng smiled, "Of course not. Isn't this a balance? It's reasonable to provide props while training soldiers."

"Hehehe, okay, what Mr. Zheng said is good, then please ask Mr. Zheng to go down and rest, and wait for the siege tomorrow. It must be a very beautiful scene." Lin Hong had a trace of confidence in his eyes.

"Okay, Second Young Master, let's wait and see." Chen Zheng also returned a smile and withdrew.

The atmosphere in the camp that night was quite lively.

Before the battle, reward the soldiers well. Alcohol cannot be drunk, and drinking too much can easily cause trouble.

If everything is settled down, there may be drinks, and we must pay attention to the current situation.

But meat was served openly.

Only when you are full will you have the strength to fight, and you will be able to kill a lot of enemies on the battlefield tomorrow.

Only on tomorrow's battlefield can there be better performance.

Chen Zheng is also waiting to see.

The next day was still the same time, but the old location was much bigger.

And the siege equipment is also assembled in advance.

The reason why I was able to succeed under the eyes of others yesterday was because there were too few.

It is not a threat to the upper city, so there is no need to destroy it.

But today, at a glance, there are densely packed siege equipment, hundreds or thousands in the true sense, crowded with people, too many to count.

The scale is bigger than yesterday.

After all, only [-] people came yesterday, but five times as many people came today.

There was some commotion in the upper defense city. Some people had imagined the scene on the battlefield, and they were lucky enough to see it yesterday.It feels nothing more than that.

Only today did they realize that this is the real battlefield, what is a little bit of a big deal.

It is not an exaggeration to say that peeing is the kind of town.

The old general also got the news, and when he came to the top of the city to take a look, he frowned. He had so much experience, and he could tell at a glance that Lin Hong was going to fight to the death, so he directly pulled all the troops up. For the defenders, it is a challenge.

A test of will and perseverance.

It's just that the troops who have been training for a period of time, if they were in the past, the old general would not let such a person go to the battlefield.
