Chapter 249, Both parties prepare

In the next camp attack in the wild, the siege equipment was obviously useless, and they were all left in Xiyuan City. Besides, Liu Meng also stayed in Xiyuan City to recover due to his injuries. Luo Ji After ordering [-] troops and adding a good general, they set off on the same day.

During the expedition, reasonable control of the marching speed is the key. The blind pursuit of speed, but in the end, when he reaches the place, he has no strength to fight. This is obviously putting the cart before the horse. Luo Ji has always grasped this measure very well.

At the same time, a few days ago, Guo Jia and Guo Zhen, who were on the road back to Mingjing City, also received Luo Ji's second military order in a short period of time after a long absence. It was sent half a month ago to tell them to return to Mirror City to help defend against the next invasion from outsiders.

It's just that they patronized the battle some time ago, but they accidentally ran too far, and the increase in the number of soldiers under their command greatly slowed down their marching speed. It was really too late to go back in a short time. On the way, the second military order was quickly delivered to them.

"How do you say?" Standing in the tent, Guo Zhen folded his arms and looked at Guo Jia who was sitting there with a frown. Although Luo Cheng didn't speak, it was obvious from the expression on his brows. It can be seen that he is very concerned about the content of this second military order.

Feeling the sight of the two of them, Guo Jia put down the military order that he had just sent in his hand, "The foreigners who invaded this time seem to be unexpectedly tricky, with six crossbows and five thousand troops, and they will force it within half a day. The West Plains Castle was breached..."

"Five thousand troops?!" Guo Zhen and Luo Cheng both exclaimed when they heard this number, and the expression on Luo Cheng's face even brought an undisguised shock, "And it's still half a day. Nei Nei forcibly broke Nishihara Castle? How is this possible?!"

"Luo Cheng, tell me, what's the situation in Xiyuan City?" Guo Jia asked seriously when he heard this. After all, he and Guo Zhen have been fighting outside all year round, so naturally it's impossible to know the situation in Xiyuan City.

Luo Cheng himself left at that time. He had seen the scale and walls of Xiyuan City, so he was so shocked after hearing the news that Xiyuan City had been breached.

He took a deep breath, and after calming down his emotions, Luo Cheng quickly spread out a map, then circled the map in front of him with his fingers, "Xiyuan City is in this position, it is the City of Mirrors. The first line of defense to the west of the territory, and at the same time, the territory of this entire area has been linked together..."

During the speech, Luo Cheng said seriously about the changes in the structure of Mingjing City. He heard Guo Jia, who was sitting there, gleaming in his eyes. He still couldn't imagine how such a large-scale handwriting could make their leader so short. To do this in time?It's unbelievable, I can only say that I really deserve to be the leader, this is something he can never do.

But at the same time, it was precisely because he knew the scale and defense level of Nishihara Castle that his expression became more serious.

"So Xiyuan City will be breached within half a day, which is unbelievable!"

"It should be the garrison general's carelessness." Guo Jia said such a sentence after thinking for a while.

"main idea?"

"Under the leadership of the leader, we have been victorious in consecutive battles, almost becoming an invincible army, accumulating so many victories, and occasionally becoming careless and underestimating the enemy, is it unavoidable?" Guo Jia asked calmly. One sentence, while not forgetting to glance at Guo Zhen.

"Cough cough!" Aware of Guo Jia's gaze, Guo Zhen, the eldest brother, coughed twice with an embarrassed look on his face. Just a month ago, when he was attacking a tribe, he was careless and underestimated the enemy and received two arrows. Because of this, his younger brother didn't give him a good look for half a month, and from time to time he would scold him twice about this matter, making him a big brother, more and more difficult in front of his younger brother. Started, Guo Jia was not like this before, he was definitely broken by the leader!

Seeing Guo Zhen's guilty and embarrassed appearance, Guo Jia was speechless, but he didn't scold him any more. After half a month, his anger was almost gone, and he saw that his eyes fell on Luo Cheng again. "And didn't you also say that, in the case of fast horses and whips, even half a day is not needed, and the cavalry troops of Mingjing City can support Xiyuan City. With this guarantee, I will probably feel at ease. Relax."

Guo Jia's remarks made Luo Cheng unable to refute at all, because it was true, "So, Sun He was accidentally breached by outsiders in half a day?"

"Nine times out of ten, it is estimated that when he realized the overwhelming military advantage of the other party, it was too late to do anything more."

"In this way, outsiders have occupied Xiyuan City. With the advantage of the city wall, wouldn't the leader have to fight the siege battle?!"

"The siege battle is not enough. With the three-bow crossbow as a siege weapon, I really don't know which city wall can stop it." Speaking of which, Guo Jia paused and took a sip of water. After that, he said again, "So, the focus is on the next battle, Luo Cheng, before you came, how many troops were there in Mirror City?"

"It's really hard to say." Luo Cheng, who heard this, also thought about it seriously, "If I remember correctly, after the previous battle, Mingjing City received [-]% of its troops, if you count those Submission, Mingjing City's troops should be around [-], but those are only submissions after all, and the combat power is probably..."

The atmosphere in the tent seemed a little dignified for a while. Guo Jia and the others knew how powerful the surrendered soldiers were. After all, at least half of the troops in their hands were composed of surrendered soldiers. After a tribe, the population is sent back to Mirror City, and the soldiers who surrender are directly thrown into the army to replenish their troops, and then go to attack the next tribe. This is their current practice, so in this regard, they can be said to be experienced.

Leaving aside the issue of personal combat power, there are three very troubling problems in subordinating troops...

The first problem is that there is basically no tacit understanding with the original troops, and it is difficult to cover and attack each other in battle.

The second problem is that the morale of these soldiers is deteriorating, and it is difficult to fully exert their own combat power. It may also affect the morale of other soldiers.

The third problem is that these surrendered soldiers are often not very loyal due to the fact that they have just surrendered, and it is easy for a few deserters to appear, which is quite a headache.

Combining various reasons, it was urgent to bring troops to Xiyuan City for support. However, just a few days later, the members of the reconnaissance team handed over the third military order to him.

"The army of foreigners has evacuated from Xiyuan City. We changed the marching route and went directly to the battlefield!"

2 Fifty chapters, marching and advancing

The time passed day by day, and during this time, the other party was not honest, and he changed his position again halfway, and changed his direction again, completely acting like a cunning old driver.

Fortunately, Liu Kai's existence wasn't exposed. He has been sending cavalry back to pass on location information, so that the other party's information is always in Luo Ji's grasp.

At noon on the sixth day of the invasion, Luo Ji, who had made a small round of rapid marching with the [-] troops under his command, was able to preserve the physical state of the soldiers by using the tactics of 'the soldiers are extremely fast'. to the vicinity of the enemy camp.

At a glance, the opponent's camp was set up behind the woods about 2000 meters away. There were two camps in a row. The southeast chose very carefully that week. They were guarding against Luo Ji's cavalry raiding his camp through the large forest. At the same time, they also used the surrounding trees as a cover to hide the location of their camp, which is enough to see that this is a veteran.

"I'll tell you, the whole army will be vigilant and take a break." Luo Ji turned his head and said to the messenger beside him.

The soldiers who have just finished a rapid march need to take a breath. This piece of terrain is either woodland or hills, and they are hiding behind a hill at this time, using an undulating terrain to hide their exist.

Taking a look at the sky, Luo Ji was not in a hurry to launch an attack. As long as he grasped the timing, a battle could end quickly, and Luo Ji's planned attack time was at dusk.

In this era, very few people will attack at night, especially when the strength of both sides is not bad. As soon as it gets dark, with the light of the fire and the moonlight, the soldiers of the two armies rush to kill together. It's hard to tell who is fighting, this kind of attack is completely resigned, unless it is forced, or few people will like it.

As a result, once night falls, many people will relax. Luo Ji wants to take advantage of this relaxation. Therefore, his plan for this trip is to launch an offensive at dusk, and end it before it gets completely dark. In the battle, he must rely on a wave of surprise attacks to destroy the opponent's military advantage in one breath, and even make a victory for himself!

However, after noon, the suddenly dark sky made Luo Ji a little worried, and after another hour or two, the sky was still not clearing again.

Looking up at the gloomy sky, Luo Ji's brows couldn't help frowning a little. He took a breath, and the air seemed to become a little damp.

Looking back on the past half a month, the sun has always been in the sky. Although he estimates that it is time to rain, it is too bad for this rain to come...

After weighing the pros and cons in his heart, Luo Ji gritted his teeth and made a decision, "Go ahead and push forward!"

An opportunity that was hard to come by?How can you give up because of a rain that doesn't know how long it will take to fall?

At the same time, at the other end, behind the woods, if Luo Ji could see the scene of the enemy camp here, he would definitely be able to further feel the rich combat experience of the other side. The fire barrier comes out, and there is no flammable material on that fire barrier.

As soon as this hand is arranged, even if the surrounding woods are ignited, the fire will hardly threaten the camp behind the woods. It can be said that preparations are sufficient. At the same time, it is enough to see that he does not intend to retreat. Obviously, he is prepared. After camping for a long time, and after regrouping, prepare for the next round with Na Luo Ji!

"Your Majesty, the water is ready."

Inside the tent, a soldier walked in with a wooden bowl. At this time, the military doctor who was replacing Zhou Dongdong's wound medicine raised his hand, "Put it there."

After the soldier put down the bowl of hot water and exited the tent, Zhou Dongnan, who had been keeping a straight face, asked aloud, "Military doctor, how is my injury? Will there be any sequelae?"

"Your Majesty, the gunshot wound on the back and the arrow wounds on both arms did not hurt the bones, so it won't be a big problem."

Hearing this, Zhou Dongnan breathed a sigh of relief. He is a fierce general player with the upper limit of four-star bravery. If he leaves any troublesome injuries and affects the performance of his strength, wouldn't it be equivalent to abolition?The military doctor's answer obviously reassured him a lot.

While talking, the military doctor who had re-bandaged Zhou Dongdong's wound quickly picked up the bowl of hot water, took out two marble-sized pills from his medicine box, and threw them in, and then mixed it up. Twice, after it was turned into a bowl of medicinal soup, it was brought to Zhou Dongnan, "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

Those two pills are medicines to replenish qi and blood. When marching and fighting, the most likely situation is to lose too much blood after being injured. In this era, there is no such means as blood transfusion kits, so we can only stock up on such pills before departure. , When you need to eat, just take hot water and make a bowl of medicinal soup. Of course, there is no immediate effect, it takes some time to slowly recuperate.

He frowned and drank the bowl of medicinal soup in one gulp. Although it was a good medicine, he had to say that it was really unpleasant to drink, so his eyebrows were almost twisted into a ball. After drinking, he shouted. There was an unpleasant medicinal smell in his breath.

Twisting his neck, Zhou Dongnan walked out of the tent directly, wanting to get some air, and to sort out the thoughts in his mind by the way. After confirming that he wanted to stay and continue to fight, how to fight after that became a headache for him. the problem.

"Grass! It would be great to have a strategist at this time." Zhou Dongnan has always been quite depressed about this issue, that is, he has not been able to find a reliable strategist, with three-star intelligence. There are strategist-type talents, and there are quite a few, but the problem is that with the intelligence of those three stars, he is not as fast as a modern man who is used to seeing routines, rather than spending one or two thousand military expenses to bring them , it is better for him to do it himself.

At the same time, it also reflects a fairly common problem. To put it simply, there are many people who can fight, but there are really very few people who can use their brains well. '

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel even more depressed. In the end, he was completely speechless and looked up at the sky. As a result, this look really made him see something...

Staring at the sky in the distance, Zhou Dongnan couldn't help squinting his eyes. Then, before he could react, the constantly enlarged picture reflected in his pupils instantly changed his face, "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!!"

With these two shouts of 'enemy attack', a large piece of ignited fire arrows fell from the sky, throwing the entire military camp into chaos!

Chapter 251, Morale Play

"There's no need to save the arrows, the archers, let them go with all their strength!" With Liu Kai's assistance, Luo Ji, who found the best shooting spot for the archers, ordered the archers to fire at full force.

In a battle on this kind of terrain, once the archers troop missed the best shot at the opening, they would basically have to play soy sauce all the way, but what people didn't expect was that Luo Ji's ultimate attack in this round of attacks happened to be Pressed on the archer troops!It was the fire arrow that shot out like a bolide!

At this moment, there were two large buckets in front of the team of archers, one was burning with flaming flames, and the other was full of arrows.

After each archer shoots an arrow, he will quickly draw a new arrow from the vat in front of him, and then the arrow will be instantly ignited when sweeping through the fire barrel.

That's right, the big barrel full of arrows is filled with kerosene!Luo Ji didn't have much kerosene left, so it was obviously impossible to set fire to the forest, but it was more than enough to make some flaming arrows. Besides, to increase the power of the flaming arrows, Luo Ji also deliberately wrapped the arrows around each arrow. A circle of sackcloth was used, and then an arrow wrapped in sackcloth was soaked in a kerosene bucket. After the sackcloth was fully absorbed, the flaming arrow could burn longer and more vigorously.

At the same time, anyone can see that he made a lot of money this round, not only emptied all the kerosene inventory, but also used the linen that he had traded from Ye Qingxuan some time ago.

Linen is a resource that he cannot produce by himself for the time being. In other words, it is a rare resource at present. In his civilization, if he wants to buy a linen cloth, the price is not cheap. This round of fire arrows can be shot out. It's all money!

But it is undeniable that this effect is outstanding. What is it to bring out a fire barrier?Have you seen the fire arrow that fell from the sky?

"Fight the fire! Quickly put out the fire!!"

"Ah ah ah ah ah!!!"

The fire arrow, which was full of high-purity kerosene, instantly set the entire camp of Zhou Dongnan on fire. The panicked soldiers couldn't care about anything else, and quickly lifted the pot to boil. The hot water was poured over the burning tent beside him.

As a result, this pouring, not only failed to extinguish the fire, but contributed to the spread of the fire, and at the same time, the fire source that burst out at that moment was even hotter for the soldiers fighting the fire.

He didn't even have time to wear the bronze armor. Zhou Dongnan, who saw this scene in his eyes, hurriedly shouted, "It's kerosene! Don't pour it with water, it will burn more and more vigorously!!"

While shouting, Zhou Dongnan kept staring at the direction where the fire arrows were flying, looking for the location of the raiders!Then, when he found the silhouette of the opponent's archer troop on the high ground in the distance, his entire facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.

Relying on his familiarity with the terrain, the other party did not choose to approach quietly, but went straight to a position he could see but couldn't hit!

A play like this can only be done by a defender who is completely familiar with the terrain!In the final analysis, the familiarity of the terrain has always been the weakness of the invading players. How to take advantage of the terrain and city walls to fight against the invading players has always been a key research topic for the defending players.

"Withdraw! Quickly withdraw from the camp!!"

On the periphery of the camp, there is a fire zone. In other words, as long as they withdraw from the camp, no matter how hot the fire in the camp is, it is basically impossible for the fire to spread out of the fire zone.

At this moment, he was condescending, looking at Luo Ji, who was moving below, and naturally he could see the scene clearly. Then, when he reached out his hand, the soldier next to him immediately understood, and quickly raised the black horn in his hand... …

Then, accompanied by a high-pitched horn sound, in the dimly lit woods around, there was a burst of screams resounding through the heavens and the earth. When the archers troop attracted the attention of the opponent with the fire arrow, they had long been The shield axe troops and halberdier troops that had arrived near the enemy camp rushed out with the sound of the horn.

The hatred of slaughtering Sun He and setting fire to the city is just in front of you. At this moment, the enemy is very jealous when they meet, and the soldiers full of resentment are madly rushing towards the enemy in front of them at this moment!

The soldiers who were panicked just a moment ago because the camp was attacked by fire arrows, were attacked by the enemy soldiers with all their strength the next moment. Before and after, they had no time to react, and a group of people were killed on the spot. As a player, Zhou Dongnan was shocked, and then roared, "Calm me! We have an advantage in troops, there is no need to be afraid of them, all form a battle for me to attack!!"

Zhou Dongnan obviously used a morale-boosting skill, which held back a wave of morale, and didn't let Luo Ji's wave break him down with such an easy wave.

But this did not reduce the horror in his heart. He did not expect that he would actually see a 'moral flow' style of play in a newcomer.

The play style of 'Shiqiu' pays great attention to tactical arrangement and application, and at the same time, familiarity with the terrain is also crucial. Generally, the general players will not be able to implement such a style of play due to insufficient commanding force or inability to make reasonable tactical arrangements. Therefore, this style of play is one of the explosive styles commonly used by players with high intelligence and high command.

To put it simply, first use a wave of attacks or other offensives to successfully hit the morale of the enemy's army, and then take advantage of the fact that the morale of the enemy's army is falling, and suddenly launch a second wave of attacks from another direction. A two-stage attack on the morale of the enemy army. Continuous blows can easily cause the morale of the enemy's soldiers to plummet, and then fall into a state of 'unbreakable', and finally be taken away in one wave.

Of course, this tactic looks simple, but it's not that easy to use. There are many different styles of play, and there are countless players who use it well. Killing yourself is simply giving people the illusion that they are not using the same style of play.

Seeing this style of play on a newcomer really surprised Zhou Dongnan. The most terrible thing was that he was almost destroyed by this wave.

I don't dare to be careless. After two waves of morale blows, I can only say that I won't be destroyed by one wave. The 'morale flow' is not that simple, because while the morale of the enemy is continuously attacked, the morale of my side also decreases. He will be brought up, at least raised to the level of 'high morale', or even directly 'moral like a rainbow', and the next fight with real swords and guns, he probably won't have a good time...

To be honest, he already regrets taking this matter. The two silver-level items are really not so profitable. At the beginning, I never thought that a newcomer would be so difficult to deal with. Now the hatred has been played out, Is there any reason to admit cowardice?

252 Chapter [-]

The flames shot into the sky, and the camp that turned into a sea of ​​flames brought light and vision to the dim environment. The shield and axe troops and the halberdier troops that rushed out of the woods directly formed a charge formation that covered each other, and killed in one breath. Enemy soldiers who didn't have time to adjust their status.

This wave of their attack was undoubtedly a success. Facing the crushing formation of the shield and axe troops, the soldiers of the enemy army had no way of resisting. Blood stained their eyes, and the killing machines full of hatred and anger continued to harvest those lives on the battlefield!

At the same time, the archer troops that had completely consumed the fire arrows were basically useless in the next battle. After signaling them to retreat first, Luo Ji brought several accompanying guards and rode Liaoyuan Huozhi. Run to the battlefield!

On the battlefield, the fighting between the two armies became more and more intense. With a wave of attacks, Luo Ji instantly narrowed the gap in strength between the two sides, but Zhou Dongnan was not a rookie after all. The accompanying general Zhou Jie took the lead as the vanguard, leading a small group of elite troops to rush left and right all the way, and at the same time kept gathering the panicked soldiers.

Through this method, thousands of troops were gathered in a short period of time, trying to fight against the shield and axe troops that had been crushed all the way. However, at this moment, the halberd troops had been dormant behind the shield and axe troops' charge formation. It also showed their hideous fangs, and the sharp bronze halberds kept stabbing out from the rear, with the aura that they wanted to tear open the opponent's formation in one breath!

The sudden attack of the halberdiers brought a lot of pressure to the enemy's army formation. The advantage of the attack range of the long-handled weapon can be said to be obvious at this moment. Dozens of enemy soldiers who were too late to react were stabbed on the spot. Death, and due to the distance, the opponent was completely unable to counterattack in the first place.

"Your Majesty, be careful!" With an exclamation, on the chaotic battlefield, Zhou Jie quickly waved his weapon and swept away a bronze halberd that was stabbing towards Zhou Dongnan.

Zhou Dongnan, who escaped from the dead, was frightened into a cold sweat on the spot, and then struck back with a backhand, stabbing the halberdier who tried to attack him!But because of the panic, the force was too strong, and the three wounds on his body that had just started to scar were torn apart almost instantly, and at that moment, his entire face became pale in pain.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the weapon in Zhou Dongdong’s hand at this time was an ordinary bronze halberd. Lying in the barracks of Nishihara Castle.

Although Fang Tianhua halberd is not a perfect weapon, it is a weapon that he has been training hard for a long time. He suddenly replaced it with an ordinary bronze halberd. His strength immediately dropped by half, which made him extremely anxious at this time, "Shield Axe Troop, Shield Axe Troop, give me the top! Halberd and Spear Troop pay attention to cooperate with the offensive!!"

On this side, Zhou Dongnan's formation can basically be said to be exactly the same as Luo Ji's side, because it is such a classic formation, just like a siege battle will definitely make the siege equipment attack first, and then advance with the shield troops. When the two armies face off against each other, the shield-wielding troops are at the top of the front row, and the long-handed weapons are under the cover of the shield-wielding troops, relying on the advantage of the length of the weapon to launch an offensive play, which is also a classic and difficult to make. Changed formation play.

After the initial chaotic period, the formation on Zhou Dongnan's side was laid out, and the regrouped soldiers recovered a little bit of morale, and he began to command his army to gradually bring the situation back.

In the face of Luo Ji's morale style, as long as he held the last wave and stabilized his position, even if he lost part of his troops and was evened out by the opponent, he wouldn't be directly at a disadvantage.

In other words, there are still fights. After all, his own troops are there. What Zhou Dongnan needs to do now is to fight steadily and steadily, so that the soldiers under his command can slowly restore the morale, and at the same time look for opportunities to break through or counterattack!

How could Luo Ji not know what the other party was planning?He knew how to defuse the tactics he had figured out, but what he didn't expect was that the first time he used this trick, he was blocked by the opponent, saying that he was not depressed, it must be false.

However, he also understands what he thinks. There are so many old drivers in this game. If you think about his tactical play, someone has already used it. As long as someone has used it, someone will definitely come up with a way to deal with it. After all, in this world There is basically no unsolvable tactics, but in this breath, he did not intend to let Zhou Dongnan relax like this!

"The whole army obeys the order! Kill one enemy, reward one hundred dollars! Kill ten enemies, and seal the squad leader! Whoever can capture or kill the enemy first Zhou Dongnan, I Luo Ji will make him a centurion! The reward is one thousand dollars! !"

With the support of the 'mood booster' skill, as soon as he shouted these words, the entire army under his command was boiling, and even the soldiers who had just joined the army were all excited when they heard these words. stand up.

One after another, the soldiers roared and charged at Zhou Dongnan's army formation. The overwhelming aura made everyone, including Zhou Dongnan, panic in their hearts, because just now, the army in front of them, It has already entered the state of 'imposing like a rainbow'!

kill!kill!kill! !All of them were slaughtered, and faced with such a killing machine, the soldiers under Zhou Dongnan felt guilty, and they were cut to the ground with an axe in the face of them.

Zhou Dongnan wanted to stabilize the situation. However, in the face of Luo Ji's hand and even the morale control, the soldiers under his command could no longer hear what he was talking about, and the scene was chaotic for a while. .

At the same time, on the outside of the woods, Guo Zhen, who was riding in front of the forest, looked at the blazing forest and couldn't help but let out a foul language, "Damn it! It's late! It's already started!"

While talking, Guo Zhen was about to lead someone to rush in, but was stopped by Guo Jia next to him, "Don't worry, I'm impulsive."
