Chapter 644 Changes in Siege

Huge cheers erupted from the top of the city.

The enemy finally retreated temporarily, which also means that they withstood the enemy's first frontal attack.

There were countless corpses lying here and there, and the smell of blood was overwhelming. The masonry walls on the city tower had been torn to pieces by the sword energy, and there was a bit of sadness.

Although the Shenyan people retreated, in fact, the casualties of the Longyan people were even more severe in the battle on the tower just now.

The Shenyan people only suffer from the insufficient number of masters who go up to the tower, but it is an indisputable fact that the individual strength is generally stronger than that of the Longyan people.

Many Longyan soldiers sacrificed their lives while holding each other back.

Lin Si saw this scene many times.

He is not the first brother in the battlefield, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is used to life and death.But at this time, he still couldn't relax, even if they won for a while.

He saw that in order to block the masters who were far stronger than himself, many Longyan people would not hesitate to block swords with their bodies and strike swords with bones. The ultimate goal was to slow down the opponent's footsteps for a moment.

His strength is far stronger than those who have been lying down forever, but he can't raise a trace of pride in his heart.

He is not from Longyan, so he can't understand the heroic feelings of Longyan soldiers who defend the city without fear of life and death, but it does not prevent him from maintaining respect for these people in his heart.

He suddenly thought of the group of Yue Kingdom spies they met in Qingchuan when they just met Mu Zheping back then.

In order for them to send back the 'information', those spies decided to use their lives to lure away the surrounding Qingchuan soldiers without the slightest hesitation.

They didn't seem to have thought about how precious their lives were at all, as if they could throw them away at any time for a certain mission, how similar to those Longyan people lying on the ground lifeless in front of them.

Perhaps, there are such people in every country.Even if many people think they are stupid, impulsive, and brainwashed, without their existence, a country may really collapse.

These unknown soldiers are much taller than many powerful practitioners, he thought silently.

"Hahaha! Brother Lin, are you alright!"

Jiang Rong's voice brought him back to reality, and then Liu Jing, Fan Zhongyuan, Xiao Dong and many other generals greeted them.

Their faces were full of surprise, gratitude, joy, or disbelief.

"Brother Lin, thanks to you this time, if you weren't here, the tower would be in danger!" Jiang Rong, who was in armor, hugged Lin Si's blood-stained body tightly.

The others greeted Mu Zheping and Nie He respectively.

"Ha! Brother Jiang, why be polite, this is what we should do, isn't it?" Lin Si returned to his original state of mind.

Fan Zhongyuan laughed and said: "But you are doing so well, we can't believe it!"

Who would have thought that the three of them would not only be able to hold the master of the sky, but even kill each other.This is something that Fan Zhongyuan himself has not been able to do.

"Yeah, I didn't take it seriously yesterday when I heard that you don't need other people to intervene. I thought you were arrogant and arrogant! Now I understand, I, Sha Chengyun, have no eyes! Brother Lin, don't worry about Sha's thoughts yesterday!" Yesterday A rough general who was also present at the temporary meeting said loudly.

"That's right, I, Bian Zhong, are convinced too! Brother Lin, when the siege of Kuning City is completely cleared, I want to treat you to a drink, so don't you stop coming!"

"How can it be your turn to invite me? Of course it will come to me!" Jiang Rong laughed.

"At that time, everyone will go together!" Lin Si grinned.

Seeing that he was not arrogant, everyone clamored.

When everyone went down the tower and entered the city, there was already a sea of ​​jubilation inside.

Although this was only the first attack of the enemy, and there would definitely be successive battles in the future, it was enough to make the people in the city smile.

The three ghosts of Shangling really appeared in the battle and killed Mo Baisheng, a master of the heavenly realm of Shenyan. The news quickly spread throughout the city.

No one could have imagined beforehand that the three Realm-breaking True Abilities were against the early stages of the Heaven Realm, and it was even more unbelievable for them to defeat each other in the end.

However, this news has been confirmed by Jiang Rong and others, so how can it be false?

For a moment, everyone in the city was excited, as if they really saw the hope of defeating the Shenyan people, and the three ghosts of Shangling had completely become heroes known to everyone in Kuning City.

On the way Lin Si and Mu Zheping Niehe returned to their residence together, excited city people rushed forward almost all the time along the way, shouting at them, and many enthusiastic people even stuffed them with bouquets of vegetables and fruits.

This kind of treatment was something the three of them had never enjoyed before.

Who doesn't want to be recognized?Even if the three of them wanted to be as calm as possible, they couldn't restrain the joy in their hearts.

It took them a lot of effort to get back home, and the people outside gradually dispersed.

Liu Jing has already arranged a big house for the three of them and Lan Lan, so they don't need to worry about their daily life.

"I almost had the idea of ​​really becoming a person here." Nie He said with a smile.

"Hey, it's because being an assassin in the past was a shame, but now you feel very satisfied being surrounded by people like this?" Lin Si teased.

Nie He curled his lips: "Tch, it's as if you've never been an assassin before."

Mu Zheping let out a long sigh: "I never thought that one day I would be supported by so many people from the bottom of my heart. This feeling really makes me uneasy."

"Yeah, we three assassins can get into such a situation, I really don't know whether to cry or laugh."

……

Inside the city was a scene of celebration, but outside the city it was the complete opposite.

In the camp, the morale of the Shenyan soldiers had inevitably dropped.

This is indeed just a defeat, and it does not count as a failure in this siege battle. Their strength still holds the advantage.

And many Shenyan soldiers fought all the way from north to south, and it was not the first time they experienced such a scene.

During the period when Shenyan first attacked Longyan, Longyan was taken down many cities because of his unpreparedness.But later, after Long Yan gradually organized a defensive posture, Shenyan's progress gradually slowed down.

It is quite normal that it takes ten days and half a month to attack a city, but they are the ones who win in the end.

But this time, it was a little different from before.

Their losses are too big, and the opponent's losses are much smaller than they expected.

In the past, even if they didn't attack immediately, a full-scale attack could seriously hurt the opponent, but this time it didn't.

In the final analysis, it was the monk battalion and the rest of the military masters who did not complete the expected mission goals.

It seems that in this battle, it is time to plan for a long-term siege, and many soldiers have gradually realized their hearts.

However, they didn't know that their coach, Gu Zihan, really planned to do his best in one battle from the beginning.

Such a style of play is actually very unwise. In fact, it is rare for the whole army to attack the city as soon as it comes up. It is completely consuming the lives of the soldiers.

A better approach is generally to encircle rather than attack, and wait for the troops and horses from the surrounding Shenyan to gradually converge, and then use time and other various tactics to drag down the materials and people in the opposite city.

Kuning City is not an ordinary city, and it is not so easy to be captured.Under normal circumstances, it often takes years and months to win a big city like this.

However, this place is located on a major traffic road, and it is a hub town within a radius of thousands of miles. If this place cannot be captured, then even if the Shenyan people can take a detour to capture the rear city, they will face a situation where the route is not smooth and the logistics cannot be replenished.

This is a tough place, but it is also a place where Shenyan is bound to win.

Taking Kuning City is equivalent to choking the throat of Longyan defenders in the middle road, which has extraordinary significance for the Shenyan army in other surrounding cities to continue to advance.

It's not that Gu Zihan doesn't want to slowly consume the city, so that many of his subordinates will survive.

But since the start of the war, Shenyan has been extremely beautiful on the surface, but in fact he has also suffered great losses.

There is no war without paying a heavy price, even the victor.

For this war, in order to support the supplies ahead, the supplies in Shenyan's country have gradually become scarce, and the people have begun to voice their dissatisfaction.

He is not the commander-in-chief of the entire central front, and the order given to him by his immediate superior is to take Kuning City as soon as possible.

This task is naturally very difficult, but Gu Zihan did not think that he could not complete it at first.

His army is stronger than the opponent's, but when attacking the city, facing the firmly defended enemy, he needs twice as many troops as the opponent.From this point of view, he doesn't actually have much advantage, and his confidence mainly comes from the advantage of high-end combat power.

Before the start of the great war sweeping across the central part of the continent, such weird battles rarely occurred on the continent.

Although many military masters participated in previous battles, they would not be the main factor in determining success or failure. Personal bravery played very little role in large-scale wars. This was the consensus of many people.

However, this time, when the sect joined hands with powerful countries such as Shenyan, people realized that when the high-end combat power reached a certain amount, the effect would be too terrifying.

One of the important reasons why Shenyan was able to advance to the hinterland of Longyan's center within half a year after Longyan defended it with all its strength was that their masters were stronger and more numerous.

In the past, wanting to capture a city often required a long tug-of-war, and it was not surprising that it took a year or two.

And now...

Experts can ignore the moat, the array, and the existence of fortifications such as the city wall, and directly kill the opponent's city.

The number of masters in the past went directly to kill, but they just entered the tiger's den alone to die.But now the master who kills is stronger than the defenders on the opponent's tower, the meaning is completely different.

After the city tower is captured, the city gate can be easily opened from the inside.

The opponent often still has an army of 10,000+, and they have already been directly broken into by their own side.

The opponent's original condescending geographical advantage disappeared in an instant.After colliding with a larger army of one's own side in the city, it often ends in a direct collapse.

You don't need too complicated tactics, and you don't need much subtle command, just push forward and flat.

Such a siege is simply a loophole.

However, this phenomenon does exist.Unless the opponent's masters are stronger, they can only use the defensive formation of the moat to delay for a few days at most.

No one could have imagined that after the sect joined the national war, it would have such a terrifying effect.

Gu Zihan never imagined that the war could be fought like this.

He originally had the confidence to win today. In his mind, even if Kunin City is strong and difficult to attack, it will not be able to stop the encroachment of these sky-breaking masters on his side.

He is well aware of the situation of the high-end combat power in Kuning City, no matter how he calculates, it is impossible for the opponent to withstand the combined efforts of Shenyan and the sect.

Therefore, one can imagine the shock in his heart when he finally saw that his masters were killed and fell into a disadvantage.
