European Emperor Cultivation System

Chapter 200

As night fell, Li Peijun tried to search for possible opportunities in the face of the flames swaying back and forth at the entrance of the city.

"Let's wait a little later before taking action. Now tell the soldiers to have a good rest so that they can have enough energy for a big fight later." Oko suggested after observing the enemy's situation. At the moment, the enemy showed no signs of relaxing, even though it was covered by night. As a cover, it would take a lot of energy to conquer this iron gate alone.

"Would it be useful to tie the remaining arrow tips to the wooden siege cone?" Li Peijun looked at the arrow in his hand. This was the only metal weapon the expeditionary army had. The wall is gone.

Aoke shook his head, "The city gate is harder than we imagined, and a cone made of more than a dozen arrows alone may not be useful."

Li Peijun lowered his head and sighed: "Just wait a little longer. Instruct the soldiers to continue to rest and standby."

"Order."

As the bright moon slowly rises to the sky, and gradually slides down from the highest point, the enemy's defense is still impeccable, and Li Peijun can't sit still.

"How long will it be before dawn?" Li Peijun rubbed his sleepy eyes. He had been staring at the city wall all night, and the afterimage left by the patrolling fire had long been engraved in his mind.

Aoke looked at the astrology and replied: "It will be dawn in three hours."

"Damn it, it seems that the commanders defending the city should not be underestimated. From early warning to deployment to sentry work, it is perfect for people to find no flaws." Li Peijun had no choice but to ask again: "In the evening Will it be a problem if you go by water?"

Oko, an experienced sailor, explained the risks of sailing at night in detail: "Don't look at the wide water surface of the Thames and the slow flow, but most ships generally avoid night sailing, mainly because of poor vision, even if it is Lighting a torch, the lighting distance is less than 20 meters, and it is also a big trouble to avoid danger when approaching the shore, and you will bump into it if you are not careful."

Since the city entrance is so heavily guarded, and thinking about the scene during the day, the sentry situation on the shore must not be ignored. A rash large-scale water march will still attract the attention of the enemy, but the situation seems to have no choice. A frontal attack is basically No chance of winning.

"Why don't you detour around and attack other city gates, there is always a place where the defense is lax." Aoke gestured hard in the dark.

Li Peijun patted the other party's shoulder, but he had already made up his mind, "Go ahead, the tomahawk soldiers who are familiar with water will follow me to sneak attack by water, and you lead the main force of the regular army to attract firepower from the front, and don't waste the remaining arrows. Run out of sex, be sure to draw the enemy's attention to the city gate to buy time for the surprise attack."

Aoke was still a little worried, and advised: "The waterway at night is too dangerous, and the lord must prepare a countermeasure."

At this time, Li Peijun didn't care so much anymore and could only take dangerous measures, "The fleet is just entering the harbor in the dark. When your city gate shoots a rocket into the sky, I will start setting off. There is no other way to choose. No need to say anything more.”

Aoke had no choice but to resign and ordered the whole army to prepare for battle. Li Peijun led fifty Tomahawks on two light sails and marched towards London by water, while Aoke led the remnants to launch a fierce attack from the front.

"They're here, please inform your lord." The sentinels at the gate of the city quickly noticed the abnormality, and immediately notified the herald to pass on the emergency situation.

The messenger asked again, "Sir, you have previously ordered us to find out the number of enemies, because some of us are still on guard to prepare for sneak attacks on waterways. Please confirm again."

After receiving the order, the sentinel looked at the top of the city from a distance. It was difficult to determine the number of people in the dim field of vision. After a rough estimate, the news was sent back.

"Are you sure there are seven hundred people? Yes, I understand." After receiving an affirmative answer from the other party, the messenger didn't dare to neglect, and ran non-stop to notify Lawrence of the news.

As previously estimated, Lawrence also knew that the enemy might use several siege plans, either by forcefully attacking one place, or by splitting up troops to break through. Only water attacks deserve more vigilance. After all, if the enemy lands, there will be no Without the support of city defense, a small number of knights may not be opponents of the opponent.

"Requisition half of the garrison guarding the port, and leave the rest on standby. Move quickly, knights, it's time to avenge our shame. Let's defend our glory again." Lawrence encouraged .

The situation on the siege battlefield was the same as during the day, and the script was almost completely reproduced. Although the army led by Oke moved quickly and touched the edge of the city wall, they still took the thick city gate. There was no other way, after trying to siege the city with ladders was blocked, they were forced to distance themselves, and the two sides exchanged another wave of firepower.

"Come on, light the arrow." Aoke opened the bowstring, and ordered his men to wrap the resin-wrapped leather around the body of the arrow. After lighting it, a cloud-piercing arrow shot straight into the sky.

After receiving the signal, Li Peijun on the deck quickly ordered the sailors to set sail. The two lone sails didn't even have a single light, and they judged the situation ahead with their naked eyes.

In order to buy enough time, Auke hurriedly ordered the soldiers to launch a new round of siege operations without giving the opponent any chance to breathe in the interval between a round of firepower ceasefire.

"It seems that the other party is very angry. This siege is no longer orderly." The leader of the Knights said happily from the side. In this situation, no one from the other party can come forward.

Lawrence, on the other hand, was deeply worried. The usually stable enemy suddenly became violent, as if he was deliberately hiding some ulterior secret. He turned his head to the orderlies beside him and asked, " Is there any enemy situation at the other city gates or on the waterways?"

After getting a negative answer, Lawrence put down his worries for the time being. Maybe it was because he was too steady, or maybe it was just like what Jazz said, the enemy planned to attack after being out of temper and embarrassment.

Because it was the middle of the night of a new day, Li Peijun's lord's skill cooldowns were all reset. With a wave of his big hand, he released his skills on the mast.

"Use skills and march quickly."

"Use skills, Raiders from Heaven."

"Use skills and strike with precision."

He activated three skills in one go. Although siege of a city is the protagonist of a fortified battle, this skill is the one that improves the attributes of siege equipment the most. Facing the stubborn defensive situation of London City, even adding BUFF to the soldiers will not help. It didn't work much, so Li Peijun simply tried other combinations.

Looking at all the lights not far away, Li Peijun took a deep breath and said, "London City, here I come."
