20demayo Chapter 261
Chapter 261
Outside Pingyuan City.
A crow landed on the corpses and ate the bodies of the expeditionary soldiers.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Tiefeng Army were ready.
Dozens of miles outside the city, large camps rose from the ground, stretching for hundreds of miles.
On the tower, Zhao Chong observed for a while and finally gave up the idea of attacking them.
"Although the expeditionary army is large, it is not bloated. The chance of our attack being successful is too low, and we may even lose."
Zhao Chong gave up the idea of attacking them.
He asked the people in the city to deal with the corpses under the city, piled them together, and then burned them on the spot.
He did this because he was afraid that the city would be infected with the plague.
At the same time, he asked the doctors to do a good job of prevention and control in advance, and to check the residents and soldiers in the city regularly as much as possible.
Of course, it is not necessary to check everyone, but to target those who have discomfort.
And these tasks are to be done later.
At this time, in the headquarters of the expeditionary army, in the commander's tent.
A group of expeditionary generals were discussing matters here.
"Our army has arrived at Pingyuan City, but the generals defending the city are not mediocre, and their abilities are not inferior to Liu Guangjing."
"If you want to attack Pingyuan City, you can only fight hard."
"Besides, we have a lot of people and we are fully capable of doing so."
A general said.
Another general reminded: "We must also be vigilant against Liu Guangjing in Guangyuan City. We have already discovered that Liu Guangjing has sent a lot of scouts to our side."
"Obviously, he is also targeting us."
"Hey, look at what you said, as if we are a piece of meat."
Speaking of which, they really have this kind of déjà vu.
I don't know why, they have a million troops, and the enemy should have been afraid.
However, the enemy is not only not afraid, but is actually calculating them, wishing to eat their meat piece by piece.
Amara looked at a cultivator beside him and said, "Master Lu, what do you think about this?"
"Haha, mortals are nothing to worry about."
Lu Lu stroked his beard with disdain on his face.
In front of them, cultivators, no matter how powerful the mortals' schemes are, they are useless.
Because, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just a waste of time.
Seeing Lu Lu's confidence, Amara couldn't help but feel relieved.
Indeed, they have more than a thousand cultivators, what are they afraid of?
Amara immediately became high-spirited and said, "Everyone, we have the help of the immortal master, and no matter how many conspiracies and tricks the enemy has, it will be in vain."
"Today, everyone, have a good rest, and tomorrow, we will flatten Pingyuan City."
"Yes!"
They were all very excited.
But they didn't know that Li Taihang had heard everything they said clearly.
At this time, no one noticed Li Taihang who had turned into a bee.
Li Taihang flew away from the commander's tent and turned into a flying eagle, surveying everything in the expeditionary camp.
Then, he drew a map and gave it to Zhao Chong.
Zhao Chong was also very surprised when he saw the map.
Because he found that this was actually the current camp defense map of the expeditionary army.
"However, there are too many enemy cultivators, and it seems that it is not easy to launch a sneak attack."
This was the first time that Zhao Chong felt a headache about the cultivators. Faced with this situation, he could no longer think about the situation of the war in his usual way.
There were cultivators on his side, but not many, only a few dozen.
Compared with the opposite side, these dozens of people were simply insignificant.
"However, fortunately, with this map, it may come in handy in the future."
Early the next morning.
Amara led an army of 200,000 to the outside of Pingyuan City.
They did not surround the entire Pingyuan City because it was unnecessary.
It would be even better if the Tiefeng Army abandoned the city.
"Zhao Chong, surrender. I can apply to His Highness to make you the King of Zhao."
"As long as you surrender, you will have done a great deed. With your ability, you will definitely be able to develop better in our Barbarian Dragon Empire."
Now, the Barbarian Dragon Empire is busy expanding its territory.
The Zhonglong Empire is not aggressive enough, and it is not good at maintaining its status quo. It is like a big cake, waiting for others to divide it.
After listening to Amara's words, Zhao Chong said disdainfully: "Do you think this general is the same as those traitors? Will surrender to you ignorant barbarians? You are dreaming!"
"Humph, you really don't know what's good for you. Since you refuse to surrender, when the city is broken, you will definitely bloodbath the entire Pingyuan City, leaving no one alive."
"Ha, then it depends on whether you have such good front teeth!"
"Humph, kill him!" Since he said he couldn't surrender, Amara didn't waste time.
"Kill!"
TwoOne hundred thousand soldiers of the expeditionary army rushed towards Pingyuan City.
The mighty and powerful force was so loud that it swept over like a wave of air, and it was suffocating like a tidal wave.
"Archers, get ready."
"Release your arrows."
"Swish, swish, swish."
A burst of air-breaking sounds rang out, and countless arrows gathered in the air, turning into a rain of arrows, falling into the dense enemy army below.
"Swish!"
"Puff!"
"Ah!"
This time, because there were more enemies, more enemies were hit.
I saw the expeditionary soldiers who were charging, and some soldiers fell from time to time.
However, more soldiers came up from the rear.
"Are they going to take down our Pingyuan City in one go?"
The deputy general was a little nervous. He was wondering if Amara was crazy because he had invested 200,000 troops at once.
"Hmph, too many people make you stupid, what can you do?"
In this war, sometimes it's not just about the number of people.
"General, should we use our artillery?"
"Not for now, artillery is very powerful, don't use it unless necessary." Zhao Chong plans to use artillery as a secret weapon.
"Crossbow carts and catapults ready."
When the enemy army approaches, the crossbow carts on the towers and walls, as well as the catapults on the streets in the city, start to operate.
"Fire."
As the signal was sent, the crossbow carts roared, and crossbow arrows several meters long were shot down the city.
"Swish."
"Boom."
"Ah!"
The powerful penetrating power of the crossbow arrows instantly killed several expeditionary soldiers and shot them into gourds with holes in their bodies.
In the city, huge stones with flames were thrown out of the city, like fireballs, rising from the sky.
"Boom."
"Ah!"
The huge rocks fell, and from time to time, some soldiers of the expeditionary army were smashed into blood plasma on the spot, which was very horrifying.
After the huge rocks fell to the ground, they did not stop, but rolled forward, crushing and crushing many people.
"Ah!"
Amara looked at the battle in front of her, and her mouth twitched.
"I didn't expect the enemy to be so well prepared, and there would be so many crossbow carts and catapults."
Amara felt a little distressed.
Although all the soldiers here are not their direct line.
But, they are their own people after all. Besides, if they continue to consume so much without restraint, I am afraid that the leaders of those tribes will also have opinions about him.
"Sound the horn to withdraw the troops." Helplessly, Amara could only temporarily give up the attack.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for tens of thousands of people not to die when 200,000 people rushed to the city wall.
And when they arrived at the foot of the city, it was still unknown how many people would die.
Besides, there will be a bloody siege battle, and it will be strange if these 200,000 people can take Pingyuan City.
"Ding Ding! Dang Dang!"
As the sound of the gong sounded, all the expeditionary soldiers ran back.
They looked as if they hated their parents for not giving them more legs.
On Pingyuan City.
The deputy general asked, "General, do you want to send the cavalry battalion to attack?"
"No need." Zhao Chong suppressed his impulse this time.
Yesterday, he could attack with confidence because the enemy was not ready.
However, today is different. Although these enemy troops are in a mess, their other troops are ready to go at any time.
He believes that if he dares to send the cavalry battalion to attack, the other side will not give up the opportunity to bite him.
"Yes."
The deputy general did not say anything else.
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Chong ordered the soldiers to check all the equipment carefully, and asked the civilians to help replenish military supplies.
"Now, we have to seize the time. The next wave of enemy attacks may be even more fierce."
"There may even be immortal cultivators."
Zhao Chong knew this very well.
At the same time, he asked all his immortal cultivators to disguise themselves as personal guards and protect him.
At this time, in the base camp of the expeditionary army.
In the commander's tent.
"Your Highness, we lost more than 30,000 soldiers in this battle."
"What? We lost so many in just a short while?"
When the generals heard this, they all took a breath.
Although they had a million troops, they still felt very distressed when they lost more than 30,000 in a short time.
Amara seemed to be well prepared. He took a deep breath and analyzed today's situation: "From today's attack, the enemy's preparations are very sufficient."
"Obviously, if we want to take Pingyuan City by force, we will lose more than half of our troops."
"You know, in addition to Pingyuan City, we also have Guangyuan City to fight."
"If we lose more than half of our troops in Pingyuan City, we will have to fight Guangyuan City.Even if we take it, I'm afraid we will suffer heavy losses. "
"It's even possible that we are unable to move south again."
A general also said: "Yes, and the garrison commander of Guangyuan City is Liu Guangjing, who is more familiar with us, and most of our tribesmen are somewhat timid when facing Liu Guangjing."
"In this case, I think we may not be able to take down Guangyuan City."
Although this is very discouraging, it is also true.
They have a million troops, but they can't take down a city garrisoned by 200,000 troops?
This is a bit far-fetched.
But this is the fact.
At this time, Lu Lu asked: "What is the current situation of the Eastern Expedition Army?"
"The Yinghun Sect has sent people to investigate, but according to past situations, I'm afraid that the Eastern Expedition Army is in danger again."
"If there is no Eastern Expedition Army, this battle can only rely on ourselves, so we have to withdraw some troops to prevent Guangyuan City from helping. "
"Right now, the best way is to let the immortal cultivators take action."
