The Lord of the Worlds of Civilization

"Since you've said so, then I'm relieved." Zhao Pan's words obviously made Luo Ji very relieved, because Zhao Pan's character has always been one thing, two things two, and never slapped in the face. As a fat man, he said it was no problem, and nine times out of ten, it was really no problem.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that the Liu Tao and Zhang Lue mentioned by Zhao Pan are actually the two lieutenants that Luo Ji had looked for for him. , anyway, it also carries the word 'general'. Under normal circumstances, he is regarded as the second-in-command of an army, and he can't throw two mediocre talents up there.

Moreover, as Zhao Pan's deputy general, it is equivalent to giving them a chance to learn from Zhao Pan, of course they can't be sloppy!Therefore, these two are talents at the level of good generals. Liu Tao is a general-type talent with a single command upper limit of four stars, while Zhang Lue is a smart general-type talent with a single intelligence upper limit of four stars. The subdued generals who are capable of leading troops alone, with the two of them in charge of the military affairs of Iron Wall City, plus the veteran Liu Zheng sitting in charge, Iron Wall City is supposed to be stable...

"I'll talk about it later. I'll tell you about the current situation first, as well as the deployment and configuration of the opposing forces." Back at the General's Mansion, Luo Ji, who laid out a map on the table, cut into the theme quite simply and directly. , As a workaholic with a high sense of responsibility, of course Zhao Pan would not have any opinion on this.

The whole situation is relatively simple to summarize now, and it can be explained in almost a few sentences. Therefore, Luo Ji focused on the opponent's siege troops, and the focus of the opponent's siege troops was undoubtedly the two siege troops. Tower and ladder troops.

After all, Luo Ji's civilization didn't have super-large siege equipment like siege towers, and there were no ladder troops like that, because he didn't need it for the time being.

The characteristics of the siege equipment such as the ladder troops and the siege tower are to avoid and confront the opposite city wall, and directly achieve the purpose of occupation by climbing the opponent's city wall.

As for Luo Ji, who has a three-bow crossbow, he can directly blow up the opposite city gate, and then forcefully push it all the way. Not small. The height of each siege tower must be flush with the city wall. Just by imagining it, you should know how much time, resources and manpower it will take to create such a super-large siege device.

At the same time, Luo Ji didn't really know what the specific effects of the two siege towers were, because he had never seen it with his own eyes.

Originally, as a soldier of Da Zhou, Zhou Yi had obviously seen the power of the siege tower, but now he speaks it in a decent way, "The siege tower will usually advance along with the infantry troops, and the huge size can make these two siege the city. The tower gang's infantry unit attracts a lot of firepower, but it's actually a trap..."

"Trap?" Zhao Pan cast an inquiring look at Zhou Yi.

"Yes." Zhou Yi nodded, "The large area of ​​the siege tower is made of bronze. It is impossible for an archer to penetrate that layer of bronze baffle and focus fire to attack. City towers often end up in vain.”

"Bronze was actually used..." The distance was too far at that time, and the siege tower had been left behind and never pushed up. Even with a telescope, I wanted to see the two siege towers in detail. The material of the surface is also a bit difficult, and Luo Ji was obviously surprised when Zhou Yi said that the surface baffle of the siege tower was actually made of bronze.

This is an armored vehicle from the Bronze Age at all. It is indeed an old driver who has been in the bronze rank for at least a few decades. While consuming bronze forging weapons and armor, he also forcibly saved two armored vehicles. No wonder These two siege towers can be hidden by Zhou Dongdong as a killer.

After a little sigh of relief, Zhou Yi continued to say, "When the siege tower is pushed to the front of the city wall, the erected bronze baffle will be put down, and the soldiers hiding inside can easily rush to the wall. to the wall."

"What about the number of people? How many soldiers can a siege tower bring up?" Zhao Pan, who is experienced in defending the city, saw the key here at a glance, and then asked aloud.

"The siege tower is divided into two floors, and each floor can hide forty to fifty people."

"There are nearly 100 people on those two floors, and the two siege towers can transport about [-] enemy troops to the city wall at one go." While speaking, Luo Ji's voice became a little dignified, and he rushed out of the city wall. It's a headache to think about killing two hundred enemy troops.

"If you arrange the corresponding shield and axe soldiers on the city wall, you should be able to handle it." Zhao Pan spoke slowly, and the calm tone made people unable to feel whether the other party was confident or uneasy at this time.

After Luo Ji, Zhou Yi felt that there was another person here who he couldn't figure out, but no matter what, he still had to remind all the things that should be reminded.

Then, I just heard him say again, "It's not that simple, there are three rows of ladders placed on the back of the siege tower. In other words, once the siege tower is close to the city wall, the soldiers behind will continue to pass through the three rows of ladders. Row of ladders up the siege tower, and then through the siege tower to the wall."

This time, it really gave the two of them a headache, and Luo Ji's brows furrowed all of a sudden, "Can the crossbow be able to punch through that bronze shield and destroy the siege tower?"

Other players must have done this kind of thing in previous siege battles, but what Luo Ji needed was an answer!

"It depends on the distance. It is possible to leave obvious dents. Basically, after each use, the siege tower needs to be repaired. As for the direct penetration, the subordinates think it is unlikely, because the bronze baffle is very thick. ."

While speaking, Zhou Yi made a slight gesture. This gesture made Luo Ji and Zhao Pan's mood even more solemn.The bronze baffles as thick as slabs were really bad for him. The cost of these two siege towers was estimated to be several times more exaggerated than Luo Ji had expected.

Chapter 273, Tactical Arrangement

The bed crossbow couldn't be pierced. Although his three-bow bed crossbow was stronger than ordinary bed crossbows, he had never tried it. When he thought of the bronze armor plate on the opposite side, Luo Ji's brain began to hurt, as if he could penetrate the bronze armor. He really hasn't tried things like boards, so he's a little clueless in his heart.

"Zhao Pan, go back and move the three-bow crossbow that was placed on the east city wall to the west gate." Luo Ji went out this time and brought five three-bow crossbows. There were two left in the Eastern City, and the remaining three were transferred to Songhe City. Of the three three-bow crossbows, two were placed on the west city wall, and the remaining one It is placed on the east wall. After all, there may be a sudden attack on Songshan City, and it is always necessary to guard against it.

But now, in the face of these two armored transport vehicles in the age of cold weapons, Luo Ji obviously didn't have the energy to take care of the West Gate of Songhe City.

Luo Ji obviously had no choice in this step, and Zhou Yi knew it in his heart, but he still had to express his concerns, "But chief, this way, if the western city wall of Songhe City is attacked by Songshan City The attack of the troops, without the crossbow, it is difficult for us to strike the opponent's siege equipment."

It was impossible for Luo Ji to ignore Zhou Yi's concerns. Then, he quickly pointed at the map, "So, tomorrow morning, I will deploy a thousand troops from Songhe City, and another one from Eastern Realm City in the rear. Thousands of troops, use these two thousand troops to attack Songshan City!"

"What about the enemy army east of Songhe City?" Zhou Yi was shocked when he heard this, and then asked repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Zhao Pan is here."

"This..." Faced with such an answer, Zhou Yi was at a loss for words. At the same time, when he looked at this calm man, he couldn't help but become more and more curious, what kind of ability does this man named Zhao Pan possess to be able to Let the leader trust him so much?

It is probably difficult for Zhou Yi to understand this question, and it is also difficult for Luo Ji to explain it to him. He can't tell him that Zhao Pan is a natural defender of the city. The pass line will never collapse. At the same time, when participating in the defense battle, it can also increase the combat power of the troops under your command by 30.00%, and there is a 30.00% chance to hit the morale of the enemy on the attacking side, causing the morale of the opponent to directly drop by one level, plus Gold-level catapults specialize in skills, so I ask you if you are afraid?

That being said, Zhou Yi couldn't understand it at all...

In any case, Zhou Yi finally agreed with Luo Ji's decision, but to his slight regret, tomorrow morning, as the person who is most familiar with this terrain, he has to follow Luo Ji to attack Songshan City. The opportunity to see Zhao Pan is amazing.

But this night, the three of them got together. In addition to analyzing the issue of troop deployment, it was obvious that they had to discuss the issue of play. Among them, the focus of discussion was undoubtedly the battle of defending the city in Songhe City.

"Who is the general who leads the troops on the opposite side, and what is his command style?" Zhao Pan's words were obviously asking Zhou Yi.

After all, it has been a stalemate for so many days. Zhou Yi still knows who the general on the opposite side is. "The general on the opposite side who is in charge of commanding the siege force is Li Kuo, the defender of Shangyuan City. It's a..."

Speaking of this, remembering Liu Hu who was cut in half by Luo Yong just after he said he was a fierce general, Zhou Yi's voice couldn't help but pause, and finally said in a more subtle tone, "It should be considered a A general with a stable style of play, right?"

"Should?" Hearing this, Zhao Pan frowned slightly. As a serious person, he obviously doesn't like such subtle adjectives. Yes, no, no, not sure is not sure, where is it? 'Should be regarded as a general with a stable style of play, right? ' Such a subtle statement?

Seeing Zhao Pan's thoughts and hearing Zhou Yi's tone, Luo Ji couldn't help but laugh in his heart, and then said to Zhou Yi, "Don't think too much, just say what you know."

Zhou Yi, who realized that his thoughts had been seen through, also flashed a hint of embarrassment on his face, but after that, he spoke more simply, and Zhao Pan's brows stretched slightly.

According to Zhou Yi, Li Kuo, the defender of Shangyuan City, is really not an ordinary character. He has curbed the invasion momentum of the player's army several times.

After listening to Zhou Yi's evaluation of this Li Kuo, Luo Ji's heart flashed a little bit of understanding. At the same time, he had to say that Zhou Dongnan's deployment of this general was really thoughtful.

When other players attacked the city all the way and hit the outside of Shangyuan City, it undoubtedly means that the situation on the eastern border has collapsed. What is needed at this time is to stabilize the situation, so this is located in the central area. There is a stable general in Yuancheng. As long as Li Kuo can hold on to a wave, he will have a chance to regroup and make a comeback.

Zhou Dongnan's move was not bad, but Luo Ji was still very confident about Zhao Pan. As long as Songhe City could hold on, after he captured Songshan City and captured the entire Iron Triangle to the east, this battle would be won. A total war, he is equivalent to having won half of it!

Early the next morning, after officially handing over the task of guarding Songhe City to Zhao Pan, Luo Ji rectified the army and prepared to set off, but Luo Yong, who was standing by the side, said with a little reluctance, "Patriarch, this time we attack Songshan. City, let the end general go with you!"

"No, you stay here in Songhe City to assist Zhao Pan in defending the city. This city is an important hub, and it can be called a strategic location. It must not be lost!"

"But Patriarch, your safety..."

"You can rest assured. Yesterday, the messengers left the city overnight. They rushed back to Eastbound City to convey my instructions. In two days at most, Guo Zhen will bring a thousand troops out to join me. It'll be all right."

The words have already been said for this sake, and Luo Yong also knew that their patriarch had made up his mind, and in the end he could only answer with a depressed expression.

After finishing the rectification, Luo Ji asked all the soldiers to carry five days' worth of dry food with them.

Obviously, Luo Ji was already prepared for a long-term battle. After all, it was a mountain city. If the siege equipment could not be pushed up, it would not be easy to capture the city.

To this end, he also ordered the soldiers to bring all the ladders found in the armory warehouses of Eastbound City and Songhe City to form a temporary team of ladders, hoping to make it easier for him to capture Songshan City.

Chapter 274: Matsuyama Castle

After the army left for the expedition, the reinforcements from Dongjing City arrived much earlier than he expected. This unexpected situation caused Luo Ji to quickly open Guo Zhen's attribute panel and take a look. The Guo Zhen, who had already understood the tactics of 'the soldiers are expensive and fast', after leading the soldiers to leave the Eastern Realm City, it was a quick march, rushing over to join them.

This situation is a relief for Luo Ji. After all, the earlier they meet, the easier it is to feel at ease. With the advance of the army, the surrounding terrain gradually turned into mountains, and the difference in terrain height was even more obvious than expected. Facts have proved that, Zhou Yi said That's right, the siege equipment could not be pushed up at all, and at the same time, the undulating terrain also made it more difficult for the soldiers to push forward than usual.

If it weren't for the bad location, Songshan City, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, would be the first line of defense in the Eastern Region, which would probably add a lot to the hearts of invading players.

But many things are not as good as one's wish. The geographical advantage belongs to the geographical advantage, and the location belongs to the location. The location of Dongjing City is just in the way of the enemy's army, so it can be constructed as the first one. Defense line, but the location of Matsuyama Castle is not able to do this.

"Leader, move forward for about half a day, and you'll be Songshan Castle." Zhou Yi, who had confirmed his position, rode his horse to Luo Ji's side and said.

"Okay." Luo Ji replied, and then Tradition said to a messenger next to him, "Go on, let the soldiers familiarize themselves with the terrain here, and then find a peaceful place nearby to camp and rest for a while. Tonight, attack the city at dawn tomorrow!"

Luo Ji's idea is very simple. While preparing for a long-term battle, he also has to fight a wave of raids to capture it. Even if Songshan City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it will be difficult for him to capture it in one wave, but he must try. That's fine, just give up without doing anything, which is not in line with his usual style of doing things.

After dinner, Luo Ji and Zhou Yi discussed the specific details of tomorrow's siege, and after setting up the night vigil task, they signaled everyone to go to bed early.

Then, in the early hours of the morning, I looked up at the sky and estimated the current time. It should be two or three o'clock in the morning. The night was still clear tonight, and the bright full moon in the sky added a bit of light to the night.

This is undoubtedly a good thing for Luo Ji and the others. The soldiers quickly woke up from their sleep, and they fell asleep almost at the same time as the sunset. At this time, the spirits of each of them can be called It was full, and it took about 10 minutes. After simply eating a little dry food, the two thousand troops marched directly in the dark under the moonlight.

Luo Ji didn't let them light the torches. In this day and age, the light of the fire in the dark night is too dazzling. The soldiers standing on the city wall can probably see it at a glance from a long distance, which will undoubtedly reveal their existence. , causing them to fail this attack.

Fortunately, all the veterans in the army were brought out this time. Although the night had an impact on them, it was not enough to shake them. They all took care of each other and advanced steadily.

But this time, it was a wake-up call for Luo Ji. After this battle, it felt like it was time to add items such as 'Night Raid' and 'Night March' to military training.

At dawn, a terrifying scream woke Wang Tong, who was sleeping soundly, on the spot, and his unbalanced body fell directly off the bed, smashing his whole body to pieces, "Why, how come back. What? Is the enemy attacking?!"

Ignoring the exclamations of the wives and concubines on the bed, Wang Tong didn't even have time to put a coat on himself, so he got up from the ground with his hands and feet, and rushed out of his bedroom.

As soon as this man rushed into the yard, he ran into a soldier who hurried over to report, "General! The enemy army, the enemy army is coming!!"

Hearing this, Wang Tong's heart sank for a moment, and then he grabbed the soldier's collar, "Did you hit there?!"

"We're already attacking the city." The soldier cried with a sad face.

"Are all the soldiers in charge of the guards blind? The enemy doesn't even know when they hit him?!" At this time, Wang Tong only felt that he was about to go crazy. This group of enemies were not good men and women, and Dongjing City and Songhe City were breached. After that, the bodies of Zhang Xijun and Liu Hu were directly hung on the city wall. He also heard the news!Now that this group of brutal enemies has already killed outside Songshan City, they have even begun to attack the city. How can Wang Tong not panic?He didn't want to go to the city wall to be company with those two people!

The soldier was obviously frightened by Wang Tong's reaction, and his tone was already a little trembling, "General, it's really, really dark, brothers can't see clearly!"

"The sky is too dark to see clearly?! The sky is too dark..." Wang Tong's voice, who seemed to realize something, stopped abruptly. Then, he looked up and looked at the area above his head that was still covered with darkness. The shrouded sky, his expression was completely stiff at this moment, "Is it touched by the night?!"

"Send a messenger and let him ride a fast horse and go from the other end! Tell the reinforcements who are heading here about the situation here!" After all, he was someone who could be appointed by Zhou Dongdong as a general defending the city. After a brief panic, Wang Tong finally took a deep breath, and then quickly issued an order.

On the other side, the soldiers who attacked Songshan City in the dark of the night were carrying the ladders and advancing frantically. The ladders are really cheap to manufacture and can be produced on a large scale. However, don't expect how good the effect will be. , because to put it bluntly, it is an elongated ladder, the advanced point has a telescopic function, and the more advanced point is the ladder car.

At this time, the soldiers under Luo Ji's command were holding the cheapest ones. Zhou Dongnan used these ladders as a means of assisting the siege of the city. After all, his focus was on the siege tower. It acts as a distraction or a cover.

This situation gave Luo Ji a stomach ache. In the current situation, the only way to win is to rely on numbers. If one ladder can't be attacked, then ten are placed. If ten cannot be attacked, then twenty are placed until the opposite city wall. The soldiers can't keep up with the push!

Although the battle situation was a little anxious, but with the advantage of the surprise attack, before the soldiers in Songshan City could react, the current situation was relatively favorable for Luo Ji. The limited garrison force at the top quickly fell into a state of being unable to cope, and Guo Zhen also saw the opportunity and quickly climbed up.

Afterwards, I saw that he showed great power, wielding a battle axe and chopped several enemy soldiers to the ground in a row, forcibly clearing a living space on the enemy's city wall.

And the veterans below are also quick-witted, seeing the sky ladder guarded by Guo Zhen, they began to climb up frantically, and rushed to the wall of Songshan City in one breath!

Chapter 275, Battle of the City Wall

The defending troops of Songshan City were not fools either. After they heard the screams of killing, they woke up from the barracks, basically without Wang Tong's order, they instinctively started rushing towards the city wall.

Seeing the enemy reinforcements coming in constantly, Guo Zhen, who was already covered in blood at this time, frowned and roared while cutting down an enemy soldier, "Brothers! Hurry up and push it up!!"

The space on the city wall is relatively limited. If it is fully crowded, the people behind will not be able to come up. These defending soldiers obviously know this. They plan to forcibly occupy the space of the city wall by relying on the number of troops in the city. , so that Luo Ji's soldiers outside the city can no longer climb up through the cloud ladder!

The purpose of both sides is obvious. The two groups of men and horses were directly killed into a group. The soldiers of the other side climbed the stairs and rushed up from the other side. It was much easier than climbing a ladder. The cloud ladder on the top of the wall was constantly being pushed down by the garrison of Songshan City. All of a sudden, the attacking speed of Luo Ji's siege force was stagnant.

Feeling the increased pressure on his body, Guo Zhen frowned more and more tightly. The situation was too unfavorable for them. Although their overall strength was superior, if they could not climb the city wall, no matter how many troops, they would stand on the city wall. It's useless outside!

As for the current situation, Luo Ji had no doubt seen the situation very clearly, and began to command the soldiers who could not climb the city wall to attack the city gate of Songshan City, hoping that this method would disperse the opponent's forces and win opportunities for the soldiers on the city wall.

Without large-scale siege equipment, this wave of siege warfare can be said to be quite uncomfortable, but what can be done?The periphery of Songshan City is a circle of rugged and difficult mountain roads. The siege equipment can't be pushed at all. It can be said that he is quite helpless. He can't complain about Zhou Dongnan for not building roads, right?

After a round of fighting, Guo Zhen, who had killed at least [-] or [-] enemy troops one after another, became slightly short of breath. The tenacity of the enemy soldiers exceeded his expectations. At the same time, the fallen corpses also seemed to be It's blocking him.

Guo Zhen, whose feet were deep in the pile of corpses, felt that it was becoming more and more difficult for him to move. At this moment, a sharp bronze sword suddenly swung towards him from among the enemy!

Guo Zhen quickly returned to his senses and raised his shield to block it. At that time, he heard only the sound of a sword colliding with a bronze shield. Guo Zhen's eyes fell on the attacker, who was a middle-aged man in bronze armor. Man, needless to say, this person is Wang Tong, the general defending the city of Songshan!

From the beginning of the siege battle, until now, Guo Zhen, a fierce general, has always been at the forefront of the battle formation. It is no exaggeration to say that he at least helped the soldiers behind him and beside him to share a quarter of the share. The pressure of one is completely a posture of one against ten.

But people will be tired. If a person's full value status is counted as one hundred, then no matter how fierce the generals are, from the moment the battle begins, their value will start to drop.

There is no doubt that Guo Zhen at this time is no longer in the state of full value. This Wang Tong is obviously very good at finding opportunities, and he will shoot directly after targeting a flaw. If it is replaced by a good general with slightly inferior strength, it is estimated that ten There are eight or nine that have to be planted in his hands.

But Guo Zhen is different. He has been fighting outside all year round, which makes his sense of crisis on the battlefield particularly acute, and his instant reaction allows him to block the opponent's sword.

Afterwards, I saw that Guo Zhen kept moving, and while blocking the opponent's attack, he stepped forward quickly, driving the bronze battle axe in his hand to strike his fierce counterattack!

This counterattack came too fast, causing Wang Tong, who had just returned without success, to change his face in an instant, and his whole heart suddenly hung in his throat.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, an unexpected situation suddenly occurred. I don't know if the ghosts of the corpses who died under Guo Zhen's bronze battle axe were haunting. After a moment, the balance of the entire body was destroyed in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Wang Tong turned to surprise on the spot, and quickly swung the long sword in his hand again, and launched a pursuit towards Guo Zhen who lost his balance in the distance!

"General, be careful!" Those who were fighting with him on the wall at this time were undoubtedly good brothers in his army. The tacit understanding they had accumulated on the battlefield made them react immediately.

I saw that the two shield axemen who were standing on the left and right sides of Guo Zhen at this moment showed a full tacit understanding. At the same time that one person raised his shield and parried Wang Tong's attack, the bronze battle axe in the other's hand was also Cut it directly at Wang Tong's head!

This tacit cooperation made Wang Tong slightly startled, and then a sullen look flashed in his eyes, "Looking for death!"

With the fall of the voice, I saw that Wang Tong's offensive has changed, and Guo Zhen's expression suddenly changed after capturing the movements of the opponent's hands, "Old Li! Hurry up!!"

Almost at the same time when Guo Zhen shouted these words, the sharp bronze long sword had penetrated Lao Li's heart...

"Ah, ah..." The shield axe soldier who was called by Guo Zhen as Lao Li seemed to want to kill Wang Tong with the bronze battle axe in his hand, but he couldn't. It was completely drained in an instant, and the gradually icy corpse was kicked away by Wang Tong without hesitation, and then carrying a string of blood flowers, the sharp bronze sword was quickly drawn out.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Guo Zhen, who had stood firm on his feet, was almost dazed by the violent anger. At this time, he was like a beast who chose people and devoured him, roaring and killing Wang Tong!

When Wang Tong saw this, he avoided fighting and pushed the two soldiers beside him towards Guo Zhen, while he quickly pushed towards the rear.

"Don't try to run!!" Guo Zhen, who saw this scene, became more and more irritable. While waving the bronze battle axe in his hand, he chopped the two soldiers in half with exaggerated force on the spot. intimidating.

"Damn it! It's a monster..." Wang Tong's eyelids jumped when he saw this bloody scene. He had absolutely no interest in fighting such a monster. Hundreds of people?With such thoughts in mind, Wang Tong pouted in disdain in his heart, and at the same time carried a trace of jealousy.

On the real battlefield, the strength of a strong general is often not enough to change the entire battle situation. However, when the gap between the forces is not large, one side is the vanguard led by a strong general, and the other side is led by a strong general. A vanguard led by an ordinary general who is not very strong is fighting head-on on both sides. Which side is stronger, do we still need to compare?
