The Age of Lords Reborn

Chapter 719 Ice City Defense Strategy (for Subscription)

"Quick, pour all the water down."

"Don't be reluctant to pour it. You didn't buy this water. Pour more. Sprinkle it all from the city wall to the outside of the city."

Outside the north gate, thanks to the terrain surrounded by water, the distance between the city wall and the river bank is not far away. Mo Xiaobai made a decision after inspecting the city tower.

Open the door and go out of the city, let the soldiers fetch water from the river, and then pour it on the only sandy land outside the city.

If it is not enough to pour it once, it can be poured twice, and if it is not enough twice, it can be poured three times.

At the same time, the water was transported to the top of the city with a sling, and poured down along the wall to fill the entire wall.

Mo Xiaobai's goal is very simple, it is to turn this low Mingshui city into an ice city, and never let Liu Heita's soldiers and horses attack comfortably.

As for the pontoon bridge outside the city, Mo Xiaobai did not destroy it. Firstly, this kind of pontoon bridge is too easy to build. Secondly, he noticed that Liu Heita's soldiers and horses were walking on the opposite bank. He thought that his every move was under surveillance. .The reason why they didn't come to attack tonight was because of the sudden heavy snowstorm, which caught the opponent off guard.

In fact, Mo Xiaobai's guess was quite correct.

When Li Guang and others led their troops to hand over dozens of soldiers under Luo Shixin's command, everything that happened in Mingshui City had already fallen into the eyes of Liu Heidahan's military sentry.

When several scouts sent the news back to the former battalion, Gao Yaxian, who was the former battalion commander, frowned: "Qin Hu, Zhao He listens to the order."

"The end is here."

"Order the two of you to bring five hundred soldiers out of the camp to beat the drums, and to startle the Tang army in Mingshui City first."

Qin and Zhao, who came out of the queue, looked bitter when they heard the words, and they cupped their fists reluctantly to accept the order.

People who are blown by strong wind and heavy snow can hardly keep their eyes open, so they have to leave the camp at this time?
Fortunately, they didn't want them to attack the city in the blizzard at night. The two rubbed their hands together and walked out of the big tent.

When the two braved the wind and snow, hundreds of soldiers lined up to beat the drums in the cold weather, the cold hands and feet made the drums not particularly loud.

Standing outside the city, Mo Xiaobai could hear clearly. At first, he was startled, thinking that Liu Heitai was going to attack, but when he concentrated his attention, he couldn't help but laugh.

What the hell?
Come out to scare people in the cold?

Really play!
Hooligan Rabbit was watching the work of the soldiers in the Dream City. Hearing the dense drumbeat, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous: "Aren't you worried that Liu Heita will kill him during the day?"

"Are you afraid you won't come?"

Mo Xiaobai curled his lips, and then said: "Let them knock, if they can keep knocking all night, everyone can't sleep after tossing, I will consider them powerful."

The strategy of exhausting the enemy is to startle the snake.

It's not something very profound, and no one can see through it.

"I'll go take a look over there."

After saying that, the rogue rabbit walked along the city wall to the east, and soon saw his two allies and subordinate soldiers.

Different from what I saw at Mo Xiaobai's side, here the pink skeletons and the fish in the well are guarding the gate of the city as if facing a big enemy. It's watering.

Comparing the two, the rogue rabbit shook his head helplessly.

In terms of calmness and stability, my side is really far worse than daydreaming.

But the rogue rabbit didn't say this directly in front of his subordinates. Instead, after discussing with Jing Dan and others, he assigned 20 people to continue watering to be on the safe side.

As a result, after an hour, Mo Xiaobai's work had already ended, and his progress had not exceeded [-]%.

Mo Xiaobai was not obliged to help him with work, so he asked Li Guang to lead people to rest in rotation, and asked several families to borrow stoves to make fire for cooking.

Regardless of the battle situation tomorrow, tonight's supper still needs to be full.

.........

Early the next morning, the wind and snow were slightly weaker.

Suddenly, continuous footsteps sounded from the empty river bank. At least one or two thousand Han soldiers rushed forward with shields and ladders. A minute later, shield soldiers crossed the pontoon bridge that was less than 1 meters away.

The shield soldiers approached with the cover of the ladder, which is a conventional tactic for siege.

But when they came to the city with their shields in hand, the expected flying arrows didn't appear, instead, their feet slipped down, making it difficult to stand still.

He stepped on the ice and walked forward, holding the shield in his hand. Before taking three or five steps, someone slipped and fell.

"Fire arrows!"

Seeing a group of soldiers slipping and falling on the ice outside the floating bridge, Mo Xiaobai immediately waved his hands.

Several generals and [-] small schools shot immediately. At this moment, the thick armor-piercing arrows were not affected by too much wind, and they still flew towards the target at an extremely fast speed.

"Whoosh whoosh"

Not to mention that this group of enemy soldiers is stumbling around at the moment, even if they have shields in their hands, armor-piercing arrows can shoot right through them.And with the strength of this group of elite military officers of Dream City whose martial attributes are at least over 80, fixed-point archery is almost always accurate.

'Puff puff puff puff'

The sound of sharp arrows piercing into the body continued to spread. After two rounds of shooting, there were at least six to seventy people lying on the ground.

"Shield, put the shield down, step on the shield and rush up."

The first round of attack failed, and the commanding generals in the rear quickly shouted countermeasures.

Once the large wooden shield is placed on the ground, at least it will not slip.

But before they were happy, nearly a hundred soldiers had just rushed to the city, and they discovered a new problem.

There is ice under the feet, and there is also ice on the city wall.

The first long ladder that had just been shipped couldn't stand up.

"Smash me!"

While the enemy army below was still surrounded, Mo Xiaobai asked Li Guang and others to throw down the only rolling stones and heavy logs left on the top of the city.

There is no need to defend at this moment, one can hurt one is one.

Seeing that the offensive was not going well, the general who stayed on the other side of the river gritted his teeth fiercely, and also issued a new order.

Stack the corpses up front and use them to jam the long ladder.

Mo Xiaobai hated this kind of enemy general who is flexible and has a high sense of presence. He turned his head and looked to the right: "No doubt, can the Yuan Rong crossbow lock the enemy general?"

"My lord, the Yuanrong crossbow has been debugged." Huang Yan, who hadn't participated in the attack, nodded immediately.

"Okay, your task is to shoot and kill the enemy general!"

As soon as Mo Xiaobai's order was issued, the Yuanrong crossbow controlled by Huang Yan flicked suddenly, and a thick and long crossbow flew across the thirty-foot river in the blink of an eye, approaching the screaming enemy general.

Immediately afterwards, while Mo Xiaobai was waiting to see the picture of his opponent being crucified, a red wave of heat erupted from the enemy general's body.

The crisp sound of metal impact resounded for a hundred steps in a radius.

The Yuanrong crossbow actually failed.

The enemy general mastered the battle tactics and the use of energy, and at a critical moment, he knocked the Yuanrong crossbow with his big knife.

Mo Xiaobai saw it clearly, and immediately frowned in displeasure: "Go on, one is not enough for two, and two is not enough for three. I don't believe how powerful the enemy general is."

"My lord, the enemy general has retreated, and now he is surrounded by guards."

"Then let me shoot too. I must frustrate them today."

"Here!"

Huang Yan immediately called several school captains to help, and then the four Yuanrong crossbows at the top of the city fired together.Although he failed to kill the enemy general, he also stabbed his left and right guards into strings.

At the same time, an enemy soldier finally climbed up the wooden ladder that had just been erected.
