The Era of Generals

Chapter 380 Unknown Troops

It was getting dark.

The rain of arrows or stone throwing from Xilong City from time to time has already brought with it the kerosene that is burning vigorously.

It's not that Ning Zhenggang thought that the previous strategy was wrong, that he didn't add fire oil to weaken the attack power.

And just to be able to see the despair on Qingyang soldiers' faces more clearly when attacking.

Especially the team of about 70,000 people at the forefront.

After repeatedly raising their shields to defend and then withdrawing their shields to charge, they did not finish the short two hundred steps from day to night. Just thinking about it made them feel exhausted physically and mentally.

These people are doomed.

Ning Zhenggang looked at them indifferently.

If they go forward, they will die under Xilong City, and if they retreat, they will definitely be dealt with by Zheng Yuanyun's military law. These people seem to have become abandoned children, and their fate is already doomed.

As for compassion, Ning Zhenggang didn't have it here.

No matter how pitiful these people are, they are also soldiers of the Qingyang Empire, invaders who invaded their land, and feel compassion for the invaders?

Ning Zhenggang admitted that he had not yet reached that supreme state.

If you want to blame, blame the coach who doesn't treat you as human beings at all!

The time seemed to be about the same.

With the light of the fire from the top of the city, Ning Zhenggang saw that Zheng Yuanyun seemed to have given up on the plan to increase troops into the river on the other side of the river.

Whether this was because he finally recognized the reality, or was forced to protest by his soldiers, it is impossible to know.

All in all, he seems to have won this battle, which is almost a foregone conclusion.

Then, there is no need for these 70,000 people to touch the walls of Xilong City, right?

Ning Zhenggang looked down at the city, whether it was out of sympathy, or because he wanted a battle so perfect that the enemy could not even touch the city wall after throwing over 100,000 corpses, he thought the battle should be over.

These 70,000 exhausted soldiers couldn't even catch another round of his stone volley!

In the current situation, Ning Zhenggang no longer cared about the fact that the stones he shot would help the opponent fill up the river channel. In fact, there were even some places in the entire river channel where there were too many dead soldiers, and the corpses had already piled up. Exceeding the height of the river, it is not an exaggeration to describe it with a sentence of corpses all over the field.

Too much is too late.

Zheng Yuanyun, who wanted to fill up the river, lifted a stone and smashed his own feet. Not only did he sacrifice the lives of a large number of soldiers, but he was also unable to cross the river as originally planned because of too many dead bodies. You need to clean up a large part of it first.

Will he still clean it up?

Ning Zhenggang smiled, so what if it was cleaned up, the big deal is that the battle situation will return to the original point, and the opponent will send a large number of soldiers to charge, and he will repeat the old trick, and then use layered tactics to make the enemy suffer again.

For the Qingyang Empire, it doesn't help at all.

So, so be it.

Ning Zhenggang looked stern, and slowly raised his right hand.

This is his favorite action today. Every time he raises his right hand and slashes down fiercely, hundreds of stones will roar away from the top of the city, and after drawing a beautiful arc of death, give The enemy brought heavy damage beyond imagination.

Every time he raised his hand, tens of thousands of soldiers would lose their lives. Ning Zhenggang was fascinated by the pleasure of controlling other people's life and death in his hands.

After this battle, he will apply for reinforcements from the empire, and he will drive out all the invaders who dare to enter the province of Nantes.

Afterwards, under his governance, this deeply damaged province will regain its original brilliance.

No, it must be a stronger and brighter light!

For a while, Ning Zhenggang was full of pride, but now, he was about to take the first step to become the supreme commander of Nantes Province.

For this step, he only needs to gently lower his right hand...

Report-!

Just when Ning Zhenggang was concentrating, he was slightly startled by an anxious voice from inside the city.

Master, Lord Ning!

The man didn't even get to the top of the wall, and Ning Zheng just heard a splash, but seemed to run too fast, and fell directly to the ground, still shouting incessantly.

Why are you so panicked?

Ning Zhenggang frowned, put down his right hand temporarily, and at the same time, a bad feeling suddenly appeared in his heart.

There was no response from the city, only a burst of chaotic commotion, Ning Zhenggang looked around, and some generals had already understood and hurried downstairs.

Not long after, a group of soldiers carried a stretcher, and after being scolded by the general who went down to check, they hurried up the tower again.

Ning Zhenggang saw that a pale-faced soldier was being carried on the stretcher. He was sweating profusely, and he must have exhausted his physical strength to the limit. The large bruise on his forehead should be the loud bang just now. the result of.

what happened?

Ning Zhenggang's face was condensed, he recognized that this person was the commander who stayed at the south gate, at this time he actually ran to the north gate, and he still looked so urgent, could it be...

No, how is this possible?

Ning Zhenggang was very anxious, but the captain was too dehydrated. Although his lips moved and wanted to say something, he just couldn't say a word.

Everyone at the scene knew that the situation was serious, so they quickly smoothed his breath for him, fed him with water, and after a lot of work, the soldier commander's complexion turned rosy.

Lord Ning, at the south gate... I found a large number of troops gathered!

The captain walked over in one breath, and hurriedly rolled off the stretcher, reporting anxiously.

A lot?

Ning Zhenggang caught his breath and hurriedly asked, How many? Where's the army?

The captain didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly said: It's too dark to see clearly, but the other party obviously came with bad intentions. The brothers asked them to disclose their identities three times in a row, but they ignored them!

Ning Zhenggang said angrily: Why didn't you call Jin to warn?

Xilong City is not small. It was the main city of Nantes Province back then. In terms of its size, it is no worse than the Three Cities of Terre or Bo'an City of Anluo Province. However, Nantes Province has a new city. After the three main cities of the Xilong City, the status of Xilong City gradually weakened. Although the city was broad, there were not many people.

They fought against the Qingyang Empire at the north city gate, and the south city gate was far away, if there was a big battle over there, you wouldn't be able to hear anything if you just listened to it with your ears.

In order to prevent the city gates from losing contact, the city gates are equipped with golden gongs, and once something happens, the warning will spread throughout the entire Xilong City at an extremely fast speed.

But so far, Ning Zhenggang hadn't heard anything.

this……

The captain hesitated, When the villain came, the other party hadn't revealed his identity. Just in case, he set off first and reported to the lord. As for why there is no golden gong until now...

Or maybe those troops are our own?

He guessed.
