Chapter 152 Force comparison and stationing

The old village head showed a simple and honest smile:
"The adults are joking."

"Isn't it a win-win?"

Xuan Yuan was speechless.

Soon, all fighters have been strengthened, equipped with weapons and armor.

Send two hundred armed villagers to escort the old and young who cannot fight, and take them to a safe place outside the border to hide before the final result, so as not to be caught by the king's army and become hostages.

In addition, it also relieves the soldiers from worrying about their families when they are fighting.

Now Xuanyuan has 1100 armed villagers, including 23 armed villagers on horseback; there are also 324 professional soldiers, including 80 cavalry who remounted their horses after surrendering.

The total force in his hands reached 1424 people.

After counting the troops.

Xuan Yuan asked the old village head again, what is the reserve of troops in the capital?

The other party informed that there are a total of 1500 armed soldiers, 500 cavalry, and a reserve army of about 300 in the capital.

Counting the loss of the tax collection team, there are still about 2000 troops left in the capital.

In terms of numbers, they are basically the same.

However, the combat effectiveness of professional soldiers and armed villagers is very different.

The villagers have not undergone militarized training, it is difficult to establish a command, and they do not know how to deploy an army formation, resulting in poor communication of orders.

Whether it is a serious positional battle between the two armies or a jungle battle, it is definitely difficult to beat professional soldiers in terms of strength.

Fortunately, there is still a lot of muscle essence collected, so there is no need to return these essences to the old and young villagers.

As a result, the fighters gained extra muscle essence, and their physical fitness became stronger.

Although there are still some problems with flexibility, it doesn't hurt.

Before, Little Paji could fight hundreds of enemies at the same time, and after a battle, the long blood bar hardly changed much.

Although it was an ambush battle, it was enough to show the strength of Xiao Paji.

The difference in troop strength is not particularly large, and there is no overwhelming advantage, but the number of troop occupations on my side is small, and I am at a relatively disadvantaged position.

Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.

Riding on the villagers who just won a big victory and got reinforcements and weapons.

At this moment, they are full of confidence in the future.

Taking advantage of this momentum, Xuan Yuan took everyone with him and headed straight for the capital.

If you want to compete with the regular army in micromanagement, you will definitely not be able to beat it, but because there are so many people who surrounded the tax collection team before, and you don't know the details of your side.

The opponent dared not send out a small group of troops to be eaten by him.

The last time it was just a surprise, if you still want to continue to set up an ambush, maybe the other party will find out the details, and then come up with a trick.

After Xuan Yuan thought about it.

He is very clear that he has no experience in commanding large-scale battles. Instead of comparing his commanding ability with the enemy, it is better to bring people directly and fight directly at other people's doors.

A swarm of swarms pressed all on it, and there was a head-to-head final battle.

Relying on Xiao Paji's strength and his own operations, Xuan Yuan is confident that he can influence the direction of the battlefield to a considerable extent.

However, a tough battle must be fought.

At this moment, Xuan Yuan seemed to be sitting in front of a gambling game, and had already placed all the chips in his hand.

In fact, you can also choose to stop at this time.

He already possessed a considerable amount of muscle essence, if he didn't need to care about the life and death of these local residents, he only needed to fully absorb the muscle essence.

Xuan Yuan estimated that there is a high probability that the ruby ​​can be filled.

But if you continue to gamble, you will probably lose everything.

Even if he wins, this world that only stays for three days has nothing to do with him in the future.

Xuan Yuan looked around, the villagers who were talking and laughing with high fighting spirit, surrounded by soldiers who were happily singing and thinking about the future.

Maybe they are just game NPCs driven by rules and settings, or maybe even this world is just a boring world that keeps resetting, no matter what he does, it is impossible to change anything.

However, Xuan Yuan felt that.

After blocking everything, even if he loses completely, he will not regret it.

At least, worthy of my conscience.

Whether this world is real or not, and how the decisive battle will end, is no longer important to Xuan Yuan at this moment.

he recognized.

More important than results.

What state of mind are you in right now, and why are you acting?

Is my heart on a more relaxed path of spiral ascension, or is it falling into an increasingly dark and sinking abyss of malice?

Got it.

Xuan Yuan suddenly felt relieved, so he sang loudly with everyone.

Accompanied by singing, to the final battlefield.

Soon, large troops arrived outside the capital in mighty force.

What came into view under the setting sun was a tall ancient castle located on the top of the mountain.

The outside of the castle is an ordinary living area full of buildings. The outside of the living area is protected by a magnificent city wall about 20 meters high. Outside the city wall is a spacious moat.

Outside the moat is a large area of ​​farmland and scattered farmer huts.

This is a kind of castle layout that Xuan Yuan had seen in his previous life, a relatively typical castle layout of the inner city and the outer people.

However, whether it is the area of ​​the living area, the height of the city wall, or even the size of the castle, they are all much larger than those castles that Xuan Yuan has seen in his previous life, and they are quite magnificent from a close look.

The soldiers guarding the wall on the watchtower saw Xuan Yuan's team coming from a distance, and they should have received the news brought back by the deserters in advance.

The guards rang the alarm, quickly pulled up the wooden bridge leading to the outside world above the river, and stuck it directly to the wall.

The whole city quickly turned into an impregnable military fortress.

Xuan Yuan saw a large number of soldiers rushing up the wall.

Start arming.

Xuan Yuan was not in a hurry, and led the soldiers to stop at a certain distance from the capital to rearrange their formation.

Some people were arranged to cut trees in the rear, while others used the wood they brought to quickly build a camp.

It can be said that it is quite arrogant to set up a camp directly in front of the opponent, as if preparing to take root here and fight for a long time.

To Xuan Yuan's surprise.

Although it can be seen that the guard on the city wall has been strengthened, and the number of defensive soldiers has also increased greatly, the opponent has no idea of ​​bringing troops to fight, and even has no one to send a message or send a message to communicate.

They waited outside the city with people until it got dark.

The camp has been built, and the defensive facilities around the camp have been laid, but there is still no reaction from the enemy.

This made Xuan Yuan a little confused.

Could it be that the other party is waiting for me to take someone to attack the city?
After discussing with the village chiefs, everyone thought it was best to rest for the night.

At this time, the sky was already dark, and the surroundings could not be seen clearly. The soldiers had been on the road for another day, and they seemed a little sleepy as night approached.

Due to fear that the enemy may go out of the city tonight to attack at night.

After discussing with the village chiefs.

Xuan Yuan called the highest-ranking commander among the soldiers who had chosen to surrender, and asked about the various arrangements of the camp to defend against night attacks.

It was decided that the four village chiefs and the commander would be responsible for tonight's vigil in shifts.

After arranging the vigil, Xuan Yuan lit a candle and observed the layout of the royal capital provided by the village chiefs.

Thinking in his mind, how to take down this city.
