European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 198 Surrounding Wei and Rescue Zhao

Aoke turned his eyes back from a distance, and suggested: "My lord, let's organize another storm. I have observed the enemy's situation. There are only more than two hundred regular knights, and most of the rest are militiamen. As long as the opponent's arrows When everything is exhausted, it's our turn to perform."

"Give me a schematic diagram of the structure of the city of London." Li Peijun was not in a hurry to make a choice. Now that the king's army is fighting fiercely in Kent, the defenders in the city are not elite. There is no need to worry about others chasing out of the city, so I found a safe area and slowly planned the next siege plan.

There were three city gates in ancient London, and the other side was next to the Thames River. Li Peijun and his team attacked the southeast gate. According to the topographic map, the situation of the two west gates was exactly the same as that of the east gate. An optional solution.

Li Peijun had already drawn up a plan in his mind, so he ordered: "Oke, you divide the remaining part into three parts. I will still be in the middle army to attack the southeast gate, and the other two troops will contain the enemy's firepower at the west gate. Let's see what the enemy will do." There will be no flaws."

Aoke is a little worried about this. If the enemy still maintains the existing defense system and does not mess around, it will be difficult for our side to find a breakthrough. "My lord, I'm afraid this will have little effect. Why don't you try a strong attack again? After a few rounds of strong attacks, the opponent is also exhausted, and I guess they will soon be unable to hold on."

Li Peijun disagreed, and retorted: "That iron gate can stop the march of the army, no matter what their situation is, we can't break through the line of defense in a short time, we can only find a way to lure them out, follow the order , there will be no problem."

Aoke had no choice but to resign with a nod, and the established arms were quickly divided into three equal parts. Li Peijun led the most elite veterans among them, and launched an attack towards the city gate again.

Lawrence quickly noticed the change in the number of opponents. He did not rush to take action, but waited and watched, and continued to defend in an orderly manner as planned.

"Guys on the third defensive line, the enemy is already approaching you, take out your rolling logs and rocks, and teach them a good lesson."

"The guard at the entrance of the city, if you notice anything unusual, report it to me immediately."

"Look at the guy with the different armor, aim the bow and arrow at his chest."

As the strength of the troops was suddenly reduced to one-third, Li Peijun was not even close to the city gate and was blocked 20 meters away. Except for the exchange of bows and crossbows between the two sides, the war was in a stalemate.

Although the weapons of the expeditionary army have an advantage in range, due to the fact that the opponent has a large number of bunkers to cover, half of the arrows consumed can only kill hundreds of militiamen on the opponent, but the experienced knights did not suffer much damage. Li Peijun could only silently pray in his heart that his allies could quickly open up a second battlefield on the flank front to relieve his pressure.

"Report, a large number of enemy troops suddenly poured out of the two city gates on the west side, asking for reinforcements." The defense at the head of the city had just achieved phased results. The urgent report was a little embarrassing.

"Go and recruit the first militiamen. The opponents don't have siege weapons. They can be repelled by rolling logs and falling rocks." Lawrence knew the enemy's situation well, thanks to the strong city gates, or he could only rely on himself. Weak riders, the city of London has long been full of bandits.

Although Aoke took advantage of the enemy's unpreparedness to seize the opportunity, he also stumbled on the issue of the city gate. After a lot of delay, he had no choice but to temporarily build a ladder to attack the city, but missed the best opportunity to attack the city , and the London militia just came face to face.

"You little bastards, you know how to throw some messy things down secretly, and I will show you when grandpa goes up, oh, my God." Because of Aoke's strong body, he became the opponent's eye when climbing. He was a living target in the house, and gravel and wood blocks were constantly thrown at him, which made him lose his temper at all.

"Damn it, I..." Ao Ke was hit hard on the ground, before he had time to complain, another meal poured down his head, Ao Ke was forced to protect key parts, and led his troops to evacuate in a hurry.

The offensive of the expeditionary force was effectively contained by Lawrence, and there was a great risk of being defeated.

The house leak happened to be raining overnight, the battle in London was not good, and bad news came from Kent. The main force of Afia was defeated and was forced to retreat back to Kent. Rest and camp at a nearby manor.

This news is like a bolt from the blue to Li Peijun. The King of England is not at war right now. If he learns that his base camp in London has been attacked, it is impossible to guarantee that he will not come back and kill his carbine. At that time, his expeditionary force will be at the enemy's disposal. It is difficult to fly with wings in the encirclement.

No matter what the result is, the situation before Li Peijun is very serious. If London cannot be won tomorrow morning, even if the stalemate is broken, he must return to Hastings Port by boat to make repairs first.

As for the London defenders, the morale of the defenders was greatly boosted after learning that the opponent's three-sided double-teams had been repulsed one by one. Lawrence was also confident in defending the city of London, but he was not limited to active defense. After showing the strength of the enemy and ourselves, Lawrence sent all the cavalry out of the city to vow to wipe out one of the bandits while the opponent's rout had not yet gathered.

"Remember, the opportunity is fleeting. You have about 15 minutes. Once the time is up, no matter what the battle situation is, do not continue to pursue and return to the city immediately." Lawrence calculated the time for the opponent to join forces, and the knights under his command He entrusted that, as the commander-in-chief of the City of London, Lawrence could not go into battle in person unless necessary.

"Understood, sir."

Li Peijun outside the city was still at a loss as he drove the other side to open the city gate suddenly. Before he could react, the leading cavalry roared towards the remnant formation.

"This guy, this time he has made a decisive attack. Right now, he can only stand by and wait for help." Li Peijun was helpless. Calmly and unhurriedly resolved, the strategy of besieging Wei and saving Zhao that I used this time can be regarded as a big trouble.

In order to prevent the garrison at the entrance of the city from providing additional firepower, Li Peijun had no choice but to retreat the corps orderly beyond the coverage. The integrity of the entire phalanx was broken, and the continuous effect of the skills was close to the limit. Li Peijun could only switch to the manual mode to direct the mobilization of the shield soldiers.

"Aim at that direction and shoot the arrow."

Due to the lack of arrows, Li Peijun did not dare to use large-scale strafing. The conventional burst shooting also seemed powerless in the face of the flexible and roundabout cavalry. Fortunately, the opponent's knights did not organize a unified offensive, but only tried to launch an attack from the outside. .

Lawrence at the entrance of the city watched everything silently, and couldn't help feeling admiration for this enemy. This was the sympathy between heroes. Watching the passing of minutes and seconds, Lawrence also stood uneasy.
