Dynasty Conquest

Chapter 471
The night was thick, and the garrison who had been fighting for a day finally retreated, and the soldiers who were exhausted after a day of fighting could finally sit down and take a breath.

On the sentry tower of the Zhenxi military camp, the haggard-looking war singer held the railing and looked far away, only to see the bustling surroundings, and there was the sound of jingle beating, and the garrison was camping.

"General, I don't think they will attack tonight." Warlord Hei Diao judged as he looked at the garrison camping.

Zhange nodded in agreement: "The garrison is different from us who have been fighting all year round. Today's fight has exhausted their strength. Letting them light up the night to fight will kill them."

Hei Diao suggested: "Then shall we go out for a rush?"

War Song waved his hand: "Although we have gained a lot from the fight today, our brothers have also suffered a lot. Let's forget about the night attack. Let the brothers have a good rest, recharge their spirits, and fight again tomorrow."

"No." Hei Diao agreed.

War Song seemed to have thought of something, and told Hei Diao: "Double the number of guard posts tonight to prevent them from attacking at night."

"Do they think there are not enough casualties during the day?"

Zhan Ge patted Hei Diao on the shoulder: "Be careful, there is no big mistake, Mr. Lin asked us to hold on for a week, if we were attacked at night, wouldn't it make people laugh?"

"That's true," Hei Diao chuckled: "General, then I'll arrange it here."

After finishing speaking, Hei Diao thumped and went down from the sentry tower.

War Song looked at the dark night sky and the mountains, and fell into deep thought.

In the battle during the day, Rain King Longjing's subordinates lost a lot, losing tens of thousands of garrison soldiers, which had a great impact on their morale, especially the loss of the Tomahawk Battalion made Longjing feel heartbroken.

In the evening, the attacking troops would not have dared to continue attacking the bloody hole if it hadn't been for the supervisory team to force them with knives from behind.

Seeing the battle situation in the daytime, the nobles have calmed down a lot now. They came to follow the Rain King Long Jing for their own benefit, hoping to overthrow Wang Jing's Long Han. Unable to attack, they are also anxious now, regretting their decision very much.

But now they are already tied to the same boat as the Rain King Longjing. If the Rain King fails, then the emperor Long Han must be ushered in revenge and liquidation. Even if they want to quit now, it is impossible.

"Your Highness the Rain King, my Crimean Provincial Defense Flag Regiment is on its way here. They have brought siege weapons. As soon as they arrive, this small mountain will be destroyed without attack."

Seeing the low morale in the military tent, the Governor of Crimea broke the dull atmosphere.

After all, they are now in the same boat with Rain King Longjing, and no one can please anyone if the boat capsizes.

"Your Highness, the enemy army is stationed on the hill, with no water or food. Our army only needs to besiege for a few days, and they won't be able to survive." Some people actively offered advice.

After all, most of the people sitting in the military tents are well-educated nobles, which are much better than those who live with wine and food.

Seeing that the aristocrats were actively offering advice and did not shrink away because of failure, the depressed Rain King Longjing once again regained his confidence.

"Everyone will be rewarded for conquering Wang Jing in the future." Seeing how enthusiastic the crowd was, Rain King happily drew a big cake for them and made a promise in advance.

After discussions between Rain King Longjing and the nobles, they finally decided to implement a strategy of siege, trying to trap the Zhenxi army led by Zhange in the camp.

The battle in the daytime really frightened them, and the ruthlessness of Zhenxi Army left them with lingering fears. Even Rain King's elite Tomahawk Battalion was defeated. There is a siege plan.

Therefore, General Zhange of the Zhenxi Army got up early to set up defenses, but the garrison still had no intention of attacking after sunrise. They just kept strengthening the camp and tried to besiege the Zhenxi Army for a long time.

Knowing the garrison's intentions, Zhange laughed and was very happy in his heart. He wished that these enemy troops would not attack. He was ordered to stand firm for a week. Lin Chuan had reminded him before leaving, so he had prepared enough water and dry food early. , Not afraid of the enemy's siege at all.

The battle in Barstow has come to a standstill. The daily work of the garrison soldiers is to eat and drink in front of the Zhenxi military camp with delicious wine and barbecue, trying to lure the Zhenxi army out of the camp, and they can take advantage of the opportunity to attack.

Faced with the garrison's clumsy tricks, the Zhenxi Army was not fooled at all, and the two sides fell into a confrontation like this. Neither of them took the initiative to attack, just like this.

The two sides spent more than four days in this way, the Zhenxi army still had a lot of food and water, but the rain king Longjing's army rations had bottomed out first.

He led an army of [-] to the north, thinking that the war would end soon, but never thought that it would take so long. Although there were only [-] left in the army of [-], people ate horse chews every day, and the consumption was very fast.

When the quartermaster reported to Rain King Longjing, Rain King Longjing realized that he had shot himself in the foot with a stone, wishing he could kill the person who made this suggestion.

But now that things have come to this point, there is no other way. Even if he is held accountable, he will have to bear part of the responsibility.

"Send someone to urge food to the rear, and we will start attacking tomorrow." Rain King Long Jing ordered.

Logically speaking, after being hungry for so many days, the combat effectiveness of the Zhenxi Army in the camp should not be that strong.

So Long Jing sent people to urge food, while actively preparing for the second day's attack.

But before the messengers sent by the Rain King Longjing to urge food came out of the tent, a cavalryman covered in blood rushed to the front of the tent and rolled off his horse.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, something is wrong." The visitor was covered in blood, with a few rain arrows sticking out of his back. Seeing Rain King Long Jing, he hurriedly shouted regardless of his serious injuries.

Seeing the cavalry covered in blood, the nobles all trembled and listened carefully, wanting to know what was going on.

Rain King Long Jing was also a thoughtful person, he knew that the matter must be serious, and now there were too many people, so he directly brought the future people into his separate military tent.

"Your Highness, Vitas has fallen." After saying this, the visitor passed out due to excessive blood loss.

"Call the military doctor!" Rain King Long Jing hurriedly shouted outside the military tent.

When the cavalry woke up again, Rain King Longjing finally learned the whole story.

"Impossible, impossible..." Rain King Longjing's mind went blank at the moment, he sat on the seat in a daze, muttering to himself.

Just as the Zhenxi Army led by Rain King Longjing and Zhange confronted and wasted in Barstow, Lin Chuan had already taken the main force of the Zhenxi Army to take a small road towards Vitas, the capital of the province of Silia.

Lin Chuan's tactic was to take advantage of the fact that the Rain King Longjing led the army outside and no one was in the rear, copying his lair and making the Rain King Longjing a lone army without a base, so as to prevent the suppression of the rebellion from turning into a protracted war.

Now Lin Chuan has succeeded, successfully captured Vitas, cut off the back of Rain King Longjing, and is launching a surprise attack on the rest of the provincial garrison.
