The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 217 The Abacus of Vice King Guishuang (please subscribe!)

"Huchi~Huchi~~"

"I said, they retreated, have they retreated? It's getting dark, are they still going?"

When the siege battle lasted for several hours until it was dark at dusk, the fat man sat on the ground with his back against the city wall, holding his one-handed sword in his arms, and kept taking deep breaths.

Although after this battle, Fatty killed many Guishuang infantry with the sharp sword in his hand, and the experience he gained has allowed him to advance to two levels in a row, but he has never been serious about fighting monsters and leveling since he entered the plane. , I am exhausted enough at this moment.

Similar to Fatty, Duan was so tired that he could hardly hold the sharp knife in his hand steadily, his body was covered with blood, and the blood beads kept dripping down.

"Temporary retreat, I don't know if I will attack at night."

Compared with the two of them, Mo Xiaobai was actually not much better. Holding the spear in his right hand, he watched the Guishuang heavy infantry receding like a tide below, his eyes revealing a trace of solemnity.

The Guishuang heavy infantry is indeed a remarkable strong soldier.

Not to mention the advantages of well-equipped, just relying on dozens of long ladders to launch a charge, in one afternoon, it caused more than two hundred casualties to the Han defenders.

In addition to the more than a hundred people who were shot and injured by bow cavalry, the Han army suffered 300 battle losses on the first day of the battle alone.Faced with such a high-intensity consumption of troops, how could Mo Xiaobai underestimate his opponent.

Mo Xiaobai didn't show his worries directly on his face, but Li Ji's eyes were so vicious, he said immediately: "My lord is worried that the city will be difficult to defend?"

"I have to worry. It's only the first day. We have already lost nearly [-]% of our troops. Maybe in a few days, all of us will have to fight with injuries."

Hearing the worry in his lord's words, Li Ji looked at it very openly, and even smiled on his face: "My lord is worried that the troops will be lost too much. Why isn't Guishuang's soldiers and horses like this? We just attacked the city, and our 200 soldiers Injured, more than ten people died in battle; but the Guishuang infantry has more than 800 dead soldiers alone, and more than a thousand wounded, at least 2000 casualties in today's battle, how many days can they survive with such consumption?"

"Furthermore, Guishuang's army came from afar, both cavalry and infantry came on horseback, and the supplies they carried must be in short supply. I am afraid that these ladders today were built on the spot when they were approaching Congling, not to mention the convoy for transporting food. How can we support the expedition of the army by only relying on horses to carry a batch of rations? We only need to hold on for a while, and Guishuang's army will definitely change."

After a fierce battle during the day, Li Ji's judgment on the whole battle situation became clearer.Guishuang's army is very capable of fighting, but as long as they grasp their weaknesses, they can win the battle.

It's not that Mo Xiaobai doesn't know what Li Ji said.But he still couldn't stand this kind of siege battle, and he would feel uncomfortable watching his soldiers being carried off the top of the city.

Compared with fierce siege battles, Mo Xiaobai prefers the battles of fighting water bandits before, the kind of big victory that hardly loses many soldiers.

Of course, Mo Xiaobai also knew that his thoughts were unrealistic, so he shook his head to suppress these messy thoughts, and said in a deep voice: "Mao Gong, the surveillance of the Guishuang army outside the city should not be relaxed. We will not go out of the city to meet the enemy for the time being, and we cannot prevent them from leaving the Shache Kingdom, but at least we must know how many troops are crossing the border. After nightfall, you can go and confirm whether the sentries scattered outside the city are safe now."

Li Ji nodded when he heard the words, he knew the reason why Mo Xiaobai said that.As long as Guishuang's main force goes to Shule to find Banchao for a decisive battle, one's own side can start planning to switch from defense to offense.

My lord, after all, couldn't hold back his passive defense all the time.

.........

that night.

Just when the bright moon was high in the sky, Guishuang soldiers who had been besieging the city for a day managed to set up a simple camp, and immediately ushered in another group of troops from the rear.

The one who led the army was the Guishuang coach of this imperial war, the deputy Wang Xie!

"Delia, you led a vanguard of 1 people, but you can't take down a small city of Shache?"

Looking at the shame-faced general standing in front of him, the deputy king, who was over the age of doubt, looked stern: "Because of your incompetence, your subordinates lost [-]% of their troops in front of the Han people."

"The Han people are proficient in defending the city. We are not prepared enough. Please punish the deputy king." As the commander-in-chief of today's World War I, the commander-in-chief of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, Han Dili, a strong Central Asian man with a long beard, was over thirty years old. Ya immediately cupped his fists for punishment.

No matter what the reason was, it was his responsibility that this battle ended like this.

Hearing Delia's request for punishment, Paka and Baru, who were standing beside them with drooping faces, immediately lowered their heads and clasped their fists.The two of them are the real commanders of this battle, and they also have inescapable responsibilities.

At this moment, Fika and Balu had no intention of fighting, because the whole day's fighting had made them realize the strength of the Han army.

Unlike Guishuang's individual soldiers who are extremely sophisticated, a single Han soldier may not be a threat, but with the cooperation of three or five Han troops, or the overall dispatch of hundreds of Han troops, these Guishuang people can't play at all. However, the Han army can do things freely.

Several times, Guishuang heavy infantry rushed to the top of the city with good luck and armor, but they were strangled by several Han soldiers before they stabilized.

Having truly seen the power of the Han army formation, they have completely put aside their contempt for the Han army soldiers at this moment.

His opponent was not as weak as he imagined.

"The war is imminent, I will keep your mistakes in mind first. From tomorrow onwards, you will continue to attack the city. I don't expect you to be able to take down this Shache king city. What you have to do is to guard it for me. The Han people in the city are not allowed to come out and affect the decisive battle between me and Ban Chao."

Deputy Wang Xie Neng sat below one person and above ten thousand people in Guishuang. Naturally, he is not a mediocre person. He knows that too much punishment and abuse are useless. Instead, it is better to warn them and make this group of people worse. Work hard for him.

"In addition, we came from a long distance, and we didn't bring much food. You sent out three thousand cavalry to rob those people from the Western Regions and get their food. I can't let the soldiers go to the battlefield hungry."

"If you can't do this well, when this war is over, you three will go back to Malacanda to raise horses, and you will never want to lead the army under my command in this life."

Deputy Wang Xie's calculations were very thoughtful. He thought that if he beat the three of Dilia today, these guys would definitely carry out his orders seriously.

However, in the face of the weakness of Guishuang's army, the people of the Western Regions will definitely gain a lot of money wherever the three thousand cavalry go.

Not to mention food, even gold and beauties are not a problem.

It's just that the deputy king, who had never set foot in a big man before, didn't know that what he was going to face was the Western Regions that had been transformed by Banchao, and there were also big man players who came in here.

Even at this moment, he has just issued the military order, and the news of the meeting of the two Guishuang armies has already spread to Shache King City through Hongyan.
