Chapter 278 Siege
Tao Kingdom Capital, a private room on the second floor of an inconspicuous hotel.
There were several players gathered in the private room at this time. One of them was a young woman wearing a green leaf wreath on her head. She was sitting cross-legged on a chair with her eyes closed. Most of the other players around her were looking at her. His body seemed to be expecting something.
After a short while, before anyone else could ask, the young woman wearing a green leaf wreath suddenly opened her eyes and said to the people around her:
"It's over, then An army of 3,000 people completely annihilated the Pottery Army...and I seemed to hear them mention "wind" when they called the formation? This may be the name of the country they belong to."
"Feng? That should be Feng State in the mountains to the north. I heard about it when I asked for information, and Feng State is not far from Yin State, which can explain why they encountered Tao State's army."
< br>A thin man wearing a leather jacket then responded, confirming the young woman's guess.
"Fengguo? I remember the intelligence said that this is a small mountainous country, and that something big has happened to the top management recently, and it is in a very weak stage... They dared to attack Yinguo, which further illustrates that they can attack alone. The man who destroyed the pottery army is a player , He did this to complete the dungeon mission... But how did he become the king of Feng Country so quickly? It hasn’t been three days since he entered the dungeon, right?”
Another skinny guy wearing a dungeon? The young mage professional in robes then asked doubtfully and looked at the other people beside him.
“Either this player has special skills or props to control the mind, or he is a VIP player, and the copy has assigned him a special identity.”
The young man with good temperament sitting in the main seat of the private room immediately opened his mouth to explain. His bright eyes were slightly closed, as if he was thinking about something.
"VIP players? Boss, is there really such a thing?"
The muscular player next to him was curious after hearing this. He had never heard of VIPs among players before. this division.
“Yes, you need to complete hidden tasks to unlock it... I have always wanted to obtain this identity, but unfortunately I have never encountered a copy with sufficient intelligence.”
Being known as one with good temperament. The eldest young man immediately opened his eyes again, and there was a hint of regret in his answer.
"Boss, should we get in touch with this player? The druid girl said that he is very powerful. He defeated thousands of pottery soldiers by himself. In addition, he has already mastered a country. It feels very good. The potential...if we can cooperate with him, Qiangqiang Together, this copy will probably be completed."
At this time, the thin mage young man looked at the boss who had just answered the muscular man's question, feeling that his proposal was worth considering and could set their follow-up goals. The child becomes clear.
"Haha... I have to say that your idea is a bit superficial."
Unexpectedly, the young man with good temperament shook his head after hearing this, and the corners of his mouth turned up in an arc.
“You have only seen the advantages he has shown so far, but you have not paid attention to the natural disadvantages he has: that is, he has been bound to the Feng country, and can only develop this small country to complete the hegemony. This is a A big restriction.”
"Yes...it's useless to rely on one person's strength to fight a war. A strong man can only win some small battles. Later, when big countries get involved and start a multi-party war, individual strength will not be enough. What's the use? Even if we players cooperate with him, it's not necessarily possible. To be able to change this situation, the country and the army behind it must be strong enough... The boss is indeed far-sighted."
The skinny leather jacket players quickly reacted and understood the boss they trusted the most. Why is the advice from the lawyer man bad?
“But in real history, there are not no examples of small countries gradually developing and defeating big countries... And it may not be the best choice for us to cooperate with him, but at least it is naturally easier for us to communicate and cooperate with him than to sneak in. The higher-ups of those indigenous people are too simple.”
The mage man was still a little unconvinced when he heard this, and then retorted.
"You are right. Even if we don't cooperate with him now, we should still contact him as a backup route."
The young man with good temperament then gave a conclusion and began to arrange specific communication methods with Wang Zhifan.
While these players were thinking about the future dungeon strategy route, Wang Zhifan had already led his three thousand Fengguo army to march towards Yindu.
Probably due to the previous great victory, he could clearly feel that the morale of the troops around him had increased a lot. They all asked to leave early when he arranged to rest, as if they were very eager to capture Yin State. capital.
"Your Majesty! There are still ten miles to go to the city gate of Yin State! Our spies just found traces of many Yin State cavalry. I am afraid they have already prepared themselves at the city gate."
At this moment, the young man in armor next to Wang Zhifan informed him of the latest situation, saying that a siege battle was likely to follow.
"Are you worried that this will be detrimental to our army? Because our army lacks siege weapons?"
Wang Zhifan quickly understood the intention of his reminder. This person had already reminded him when he decided to attack Yindu. Fengguo did not have any heavy siege weapons. If the Yin army did not go out to fight, it would be very difficult for them to attack by force.
“Don’t worry, the city gates and walls are not a problem. You just need to remember to rush into Yindu and kill all the enemies. However, if someone abandons their weapons and surrenders, they can also be taken as prisoners.
< br>By the way, you must remember to restrain your soldiers and don't let them kill and rob ordinary civilians like a mob. What I need is a well-disciplined army, and all those who have merit will be killed. They are all heavily rewarded, but those who violate military discipline will not be tolerated!"
Wang Zhifan emphasized his disciplinary requirements to the general at this link, because he knew that a military force with strict discipline would not tolerate it! Only the army can be called a trump card. If the soldiers under his command are killing and looting like bandits, then don't expect them to help you achieve hegemony. You can only let him be a bandit leader.
"Young general understand! Anyone who disobeys the order will be dealt with according to military law!"
It can be seen that the terrifying king in front of him really attaches great importance to this aspect. The young general in armor immediately loudly agreed, and he passed by After the recent battle, he has completely identified with Wang Zhifan, the lord, and is determined to show his worth in front of him. This is related to whether he can prosper in the future.
Time passed slowly, and in the afternoon of that day, Wang Zhifan's Fengguo army finally arrived in front of the gate of Yinguo's capital city.
As they had speculated before, the Yin army did not underestimate the enemy because they were the Feng army and chose to go out of the city to fight. It may be that they have obtained information about the previous destruction of the Terracotta Army, or they may be The same tactics used to defend the pottery army were used on the Fengguo army. They all huddled above the high and thick walls of the Yinguo capital, hiding under the protection of a moat more than ten meters wide.
Unlike the Feng Kingdom, which is located in the mountains, the Yin Kingdom in the east is almost entirely on the plains. This kind of four-war location allows them to pay special attention to the construction of city defenses while attaching great importance to military strength. Otherwise, they would not have done so before. Their troops were defeated by the Tao army and they were pushed back to their hometown.
Before the siege officially began, as usual, Wang Zhifan sent a soldier to persuade them to surrender. This is a young native with a particularly loud voice. He walked very smartly to the edge of the shooting range of the archers on the wall of the Yin State in front, and then he shouted:
"People of the Yin State, listen Stand! Our noble king of the Feng Kingdom asks you to surrender in Kaicheng! As long as you surrender! I can protect the safety of all of you in this city..."
Before the man could finish shouting, he saw someone firing a bow and arrow on the wall in front of him. The bow and arrow looked unusual. The arrow had a longer range and hit directly above his head, scaring him so much that he quickly bent down to avoid it.
“Hahahaha!”
"You are a Feng countryman who is as timid as a mouse!"
"You don't even urinate to look after yourself!"
"You have such ability and still have the nerve to persuade you to surrender!"
… …
Immediately, bursts of ridicule came from the walls of the capital of Yin State, which made the soldier who shouted suddenly blush with anger, and he could not shout out any words to persuade him to surrender.
"Let him return to the team and prepare to attack the city."
But Wang Zhifan, who witnessed this scene, looked extremely calm, and he immediately ordered the young generals beside him to enter the next stage. After all, he had never had any hope of successfully persuading Yin Du to surrender. The reason why he arranged for people to shout for a while was completely a routine process, a way to make his army more civilized.
"The whole army forms an array!"
After receiving the order, the armor-clad young general immediately nodded his head and began to wave the command flag to pass the order, causing about three thousand Fengguo soldiers to follow the current enemy city. The doors are arranged in a rectangular battle formation , the attack direction was directed towards the Yin State City Gate high on the inside of the moat. It seemed that they did not take such a strong systematic defense seriously. Even when they arrived, they did not pull out any heavy weapons suitable for siege, such as attacking the city. City cars, ladders and the like.
"Ha...are the people of Feng country like monkeys in the mountains? Just a few people came here naked and want to capture our Yin capital? I am almost going to die from joy!"
On the city wall of Yindu, a middle-aged man wearing ordinary armor could not help laughing disdainfully after observing the enemy formation in front.
He is the current general who defends the capital of Yin State. Originally, he was preparing for the Tao State's Terracotta Warrior Army that was about to attack according to the intelligence. How could he know that the Tao State's Terracotta Warrior Army did not wait and waited for Feng State's army? And he knew that Feng Country was a small mountainous country. Therefore, I don’t understand why these people who were able to maintain their country by hiding in the mountains suddenly went crazy and wanted to attack Yin State, especially since the number of these people was a bit small and they didn’t even bring a single siege equipment. They rushed over to attack the city like this. What's the difference between delivering food?
"It's ridiculous! It's a shame that I changed into ordinary armor just to come up for observation! It's so unnecessary!"
This man's evaluation of the Fengguo troops below the city wall was immediately reduced to the bottom. Duan, from the bottom of his heart thought that they were just a group of savages wearing clothes. They didn't understand what war was and were not qualified to be his opponents.
However, the army commanded by Wang Zhifan was not affected by the enemy's contempt. Each of them, whether they comprised the majority of infantry or only a small number of cavalry, were full of conquest towards the enemies huddled in the city wall in front. Eager, everyone is full of fighting spirit, and there is no worry that the enemy's shell is too thick.
Because they all know that their extremely powerful king will definitely solve this problem. All they have to do is kill all the enemies and fight a smooth battle.
Woo! ~~~
The sound of charging horns immediately resounded throughout the battlefield. The Fengguo army arrayed under the city wall with a height of more than ten meters suddenly turned from static to move forward. At the same time, the defenders above the city wall also As soon as they made a move, they unstrung the bows and arrows in their hands, preparing to meet these enemies with a grand rain of arrows.
Wang Zhifan, who maintained his usual calm expression, also made further moves at this time, but unlike the battle a few hours ago, he did not rush forward on a red deer horse, but quickly He gathered some strength within himself, then sat on horseback and slashed hard at the city gate about three hundred meters ahead!
"Power of the storm! Maximum strength!"
As he slashed out of the air with his sword, a black existence that looked all over the sky and extremely terrifying descended into this world. It was a tornado, a terrifying tornado with a main body diameter of nearly a hundred meters and a height of several thousand meters. , it was constructed in the blink of an eye by the power of the storm possessed by Wang Zhifan. As soon as it formed in front of the gate of Yindu City, it collided with it like a giant dragon reaching the sky.
If anyone familiar with meteorology observes it, they will definitely be shocked by its rather abnormal destructive power, because generally speaking, if a tornado of this scale is produced in nature, it will not be so powerful. There is basically nothing you can do about the existence of a tornado like the city wall, but this is caused by the king. The tornado created by Zhifan's storm power was different. It was more like an entity manifested by some supernatural power. As soon as it hit the surface of the city wall, it was like a sharp gear rotating at high speed hitting a piece of dead wood. In the blink of an eye, it was destroyed. The city wall blocking it was peeled off layer by layer and penetrated extremely quickly.
"Oh my god! What is that!"
"Dragon! The black dragon has come to the world!"
"Ah! Hold me fast!"
< br>
"Ah!!! Save me!!!"
......
The terrifying tornado not only destroyed the entire city gate, but also pulled up a defender on the city wall. Gathering towards the sky, those Yin soldiers who were close were turned into minced meat by the main body of the tornado without even reacting. Those who were far away could still let out two miserable howls before dying.
However, this terrifying world-destroying scene did not last long. After about three seconds, it suddenly disappeared without a trace, leaving only the Yin State City Gate in a mess.
I wonder if it was a coincidence, but the city walls destroyed by the tornado fell piece by piece from the sky into the nearby moat, nearly filling the originally deep moat, and opening up a fairly smooth road. Pointing directly to the inner city of Yin Kingdom.
"Come on! My King will be victorious!"
"My King will be victorious!"
......
The Fengguo soldiers who witnessed all this immediately fell into a frenzy. Shouting Wang Zhifan's name, he rushed into the capital of Yin State and started killing.
