The Era of Generals

Chapter 166: Hidden changes

"kill!"

The battle for the other two secondary gates of Bo'an City started at the same time.

As mentioned earlier, Bo’an City was built on the mountain. The two sub-city gates are blocked by the mountains, and the extent that they can be built is only half of that of the main city gate, and the mountain is steep, which is easier to defend than the main city gate. attack.

Therefore, although only one hundred thousand defenders were reserved for the deputy city gate, they could still maintain a calm when seeing an enemy force twice as much as one's own.

The same method of tactics, but because the deputy city gate is narrower and more defensive, the number of charge teams sent by the generals responsible for offensive on both sides has surged to 50,000!

There is no alternative.

Although the number of trebuchets at the head of the city is not as good as that on the main city gate, it is an exaggerated number. It is impossible to get close to the moat in the flame boulder that was smashed like a violent storm without a lot of human lives.

This is the geographical advantage occupied by the defender in a siege, and it is also the price that the siege party will pay most of the time.

There were constant messengers shuttled between the battlefields on both sides, sending news back to Zhang Chengwang's place immediately.

"So, Bo'an City is nothing unusual!"

After hearing the report from Chuan Lingbing, Zhang Chengwang hadn't spoken yet, and the generals nearby couldn't help glaring at the two Guo Zi.

The generals like Feng Wuna who focused on the way of military commanders are different. When Zhang Chengwang said that there must be changes in three days, many generals in the big account probably guessed the reason.

But today's siege war, to put it bluntly, is that Zhang Chengwang is using the lives of his own soldiers to test this change.

The three gates have a total of 600,000 troops. After this battle, I wonder if half of them can be withdrawn?

In other words, because of Guo Zi's intelligence, the Zhu Yan Empire would lose nearly 300,000 troops for nothing!

Although at this moment Boan City Foreign Exchange has gathered a huge force of more than two million, but this is human life after all, not a simple addition and subtraction, it is gone if you say nothing!

Is it just because of the misinformation brought back by these two hateful guys?

After seeing Boan City’s orderly response, many experienced generals on the spot could already see that this city gate could not be attacked.

Unless Zhang Chengwang increases his forces to attack the city.

But is this still necessary?

Bo'an City is still the same Bo'an City, which still has a huge advantage in defense. If they increase their troops, does the other side have fewer reinforcements?

When the two phases are offset, the siege party who can only take their lives is the loser. After the final loss of troops is excessive, it is a question of whether they can retreat without talking about the siege.

So the situation seems to be back to square one.

The siege is okay, Bo'an City does not have more troops to go out to fight, but it can't attack the city, and I also don't have enough troops to take Bo'an City.

The only difference is that they lost 300,000 troops here!

And who is to blame for all this?

The generals who glared at the two of Guo Zi couldn't wait to rush up and tear them up, otherwise it would be difficult to understand their hatred!

"No, wait a minute."

Zhang Chengwang looked at the direction of Bo'an City with a deep eyebrow, waved his hand to stop the individual impulsive generals, and muttered: "If there is no change...in fact, there are some."

As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyes of the other generals suddenly gathered, and there was no doubt and inquiry.

Zhang Chengwang did not answer, just staring in the direction of Boan City Gate.

There, Zhu Yan's stormtrooper, which lost nearly four-fifths of its manpower, finally came ashore!

With more than 10,000 people, after a dash of just a few hundred meters, there are only less than 2,000 soldiers who can really reach the city of Bo'an!

But this is not over yet.

These two thousand people didn't just cross the moat. They also shouldered the huge task of lowering the suspension bridge for the large forces behind to attack the city.

At this time, the defenders on the tower were also anxious. Many archers leaned out half of their bodies and placed their arrows down. The wood and rolling stones that had been prepared earlier also smashed down like money without money, and even a scoop was burning hot. The copper oil was poured and spilled, and various methods of defending the city were ubiquitous.

Except...

Zhang Chengwang's eyes narrowed slightly. What he was looking at was not the assault soldiers who were advancing hard against the city wall. Instead, his gaze was at the gate of Bo'an City.

Of course, he can't see the door now.

After the huge suspension bridge connecting Bo'an City with the outside world was raised, the main city gate was already blocked by the suspension bridge, and the gaze that can be stretched seemed to have the ability to penetrate, passing through the suspension bridge, and falling tightly on the main city gate.

"The main city gate... didn't open."

Zhang Chengwang shook his head, frowning slightly.

"The main city gate?"

The generals also looked over there, although no one could see the main city gate through the suspension bridge, but they could infer from the situation under the city wall.

There are no soldiers from Bo'an City outside the city walls!

Seeing this, the generals who originally thought there was no change also bowed their heads in thought.

The importance of the suspension bridge in Bo'an City is self-evident. If the suspension bridge is put down by the stormtroopers, the role of the moat will be weakened by more than 60%, giving Zhu Yan's army a chance to break through the city gate.

Therefore, the suspension bridge must not be lost.

However, even so, the defenders on the castle tower only used remote means to deal with the enemy under the wall. Even if they saw the opponent close to the wall and held up the huge shield, they prevented a large number of attacks, and stepped closer to the suspension bridge. .

The soldiers of the stormtroopers are also extremely experienced. Once they landed, they clung to the city wall. Although the huge shield was raised too high, it also tilted slightly. Ignore the arrow rain and copper hole offensive.

At this time, most of the shields of Zhu Yan soldiers ignited a raging fire due to copper oil, but for them hiding underneath, apart from the shield handles becoming hotter and hotter, they could hold on for the time being.

Under such a stormy offensive, Zhu Yan's soldiers gritted their teeth, and step by step, they were approaching the suspension bridge.

It can be said that at this time, the commander on the tower can sweep under the wall at a glance.

Then, in order to ensure that the suspension bridge was not lost, he ordered the soldiers to rush out of the city gate ~lightnovelpub.net~ to quickly eliminate the two thousand people and then retreat, which is a relatively safe method.

After all, there is a moat blocking it. There are definitely not many soldiers on the Zhu Yan Empire who can attack the wall at the same time. They have enough time to react.

Furthermore, the topography of Bo'an City resembles a funnel, and the wider it goes out, this is why it is difficult for Bo'an City to fight back after the Zhu Yan Empire occupied the periphery.

At the same time, there were definitely not as many soldiers as they gushed out of the city gate, so it would be better to defend the city wall by fighting more with less.

But the enemy had already attacked the wall, but said two more points.

This is equivalent to that the Zhu Yan Empire also has no extra space to arrange more troops. In terms of terrain, the two sides are actually pulled to the same horizontal line.

That being the case, why not send troops out of the city?

If Bo'an City still has more than two million defenders, why are they afraid of this consumption?

The commander on the tower did not dare to open the city to fight, what was he worrying about?
