Chapter 261 The First Confrontation
Pingyuan outside the city.
A crow landed on the corpse, gnawing on the corpses of these expeditionary soldiers.
On the city wall, the soldiers of the Iron Front Army stood ready.
Dozens of miles outside the city, large camps rose from the ground, stretching for hundreds of miles.
On the tower, Zhao Chong observed for a while, and finally gave up the idea of attacking them.
"Although there are many expeditionary forces, they are not bloated. The chances of our sneak attack being successful are too low, so we may fold in instead."
Zhao Chong gave up the idea of sneak attack.
He asked the people in the city to deal with the corpses under the city, piled them together, and then burned them on the spot.
He did this because he was afraid that the city would be infected with the plague.
At the same time, the doctors were asked to do a good job of prevention and treatment in advance, and regularly check the residents and soldiers in the city as much as possible.
Of course, not everyone needs to be checked, but for those who have symptoms of discomfort.
And these tasks are all done by the late stage.
At this time, the base camp of the expeditionary force was inside the commander's camp.
The generals of a group of expeditionary forces are discussing matters here.
"Our army has arrived in Pingyuan City, but the general who defends the city is not a mediocre general, and his ability is not inferior to Liu Guangjing."
"If you want to beat Yuancheng, you can only fight hard."
"Moreover, we have a large number of people, and we are fully capable of this."
said a general.
Another general reminded: "We still have to be alert to Liu Guangjing in Guangyuan City. We have already detected that Liu Guangjing has sent a lot of scouts towards us."
"Obviously, he's also playing with us."
"Hey, look at you talking like we're a piece of meat."
Speaking of which, they really have this sense of sight.
I don't know why, they have millions of troops, the enemy should be afraid.
However, not only are the enemies not afraid, but they are plotting against them, wishing to eat their flesh piece by piece.
Amara looked at a cultivator beside her and said, "Master Lu, what do you think about this?"
"Hehe, mortals, nothing to worry about."
Lu Lu stroked his beard with disdain on his face.
In front of their immortal cultivators, no matter how powerful the schemes of mortals are, they are useless.
Because, in the face of absolute strength, all conspiracies and tricks are just a waste of time.
Seeing Lu Lu's self-confidence, Amara couldn't help but feel relieved.
Indeed, they have more than a thousand immortal cultivators, afraid of something?
Immediately, Amala became energetic and said: "Everyone, we have immortal masters to help us, no matter how many schemes the enemy has, it will be in vain."
"Today, everyone, take a good rest. Tomorrow, we will level Pingyuan City."
"yes!"
They are also very excited.
They didn't know that Li Taixing had already heard what they said clearly.
At this time, no one noticed Li Taixing who had turned into a bee.
Li Taixing flew away from the commander's tent, turned into a flying eagle again, and scouted everything in the entire camp of the expeditionary army.
Afterwards, he drew a map and handed it to Zhao Chong.
Zhao Chong was also very pleasantly surprised when he saw the map.
Because he discovered that this is actually the current camp deployment map of the expeditionary force.
"However, there are too many immortal cultivators in the enemy, it seems that it is not easy to sneak attack."
For the first time, Zhao Chong felt a headache for the cultivator. Faced with this situation, he could no longer use his usual thinking to think about the situation of the war.
There are also immortal cultivators on his side, but not many, only a few dozen people.
Compared with the opposite side, these dozens of people are simply insignificant.
"However, fortunately, with this map, it may come in handy in the future."
Early the next morning.
Amala led an army of 200,000 troops to the outside of Pingyuan City.
They did not surround the entire Pingyuan City, because it was unnecessary.
It would be even better if the Iron Front Army abandoned the city.
"Zhao Chong, you should surrender. This king can apply to His Highness to make you king of Zhao."
"As long as you surrender, you are a great achievement. With your ability, we will definitely be able to achieve better development in our Dragon Empire."
Now, the Barbarian Dragon Empire is busy expanding its territory.
The Dragon Empire, on the other hand, is not aggressive enough, nor can it be conservative, just like a big cake, waiting for others to carve it up.
After hearing Amara's words, Zhao Chong said with disdain: "Do you think this general is like those traitors? Will surrender to you ignorant barbarians, you are dreaming!"
"Hmph, I really don't know what's good and what's wrong. Since you don't want to surrender, when the city is broken, you will definitely wash the entire Pingyuan City with blood, leaving no bones or dogs behind."
"Ha, let's see if you have such good front teeth!"
"Hmph, kill me!" Since she said she couldn't surrender, Amara didn't waste time.
"kill!"
Two hundred thousand expeditionary soldiers rushed towards Pingyuan City.
The mighty, the momentum is astonishing, the sound is like a wave of air, sweeping in, and it is like overwhelming mountains and seas, making people feel suffocated.
"Archers ready."
"Let the arrows go."
"Shhhhhh."
There was a sound of piercing through the air, and countless arrows gathered in midair, turning into waves of arrow rain, and falling into the densely packed enemy army below.
"call out!"
"puff!"
"ah!"
This time, because there are more enemies, more enemies will be recruited.
I saw the soldiers of the expeditionary army charging, and soldiers fell down from time to time.
However, more soldiers came up from the rear.
"Are they planning to take down our Pingyuan City in one go?"
The lieutenant general was a little nervous, and now he had invested 200,000 troops, and he was wondering if Amara was crazy.
"Hmph, many people are stupid, what can you do?"
In this war, sometimes it doesn't matter if there are too many people.
"General, do we need to use our artillery?"
"I don't need it for now. The artillery is very powerful. Don't put it out when it is not necessary." Zhao Chong planned to use the artillery as a secret weapon.
"Prepare the ballista and trebuchet."
When the enemy approached, trebuchets on the city towers, on the city walls, and on the streets of the city, trebuchets began to operate.
"put."
As the signal was sent out, the ballista let out a roar, and a few meters long crossbow bolts were fired towards the city.
"call out."
"boom."
"ah!"
The powerful penetrating power of the crossbow arrows killed several expeditionary soldiers in an instant, turning them into pierced Calabash.
Inside the city, boulders with flames were thrown out of the city, rising from the sky like fireballs.
"Boom."
"ah!"
Boulders fell, and from time to time soldiers of the expeditionary army were smashed into blood on the spot, which was very frightening.
After falling to the ground, the boulder did not stop because of this, but rolled forward, crushing and crushing many people.
"ah!"
Amara watched the battle ahead, the corners of her mouth twitched.
"Unexpectedly, the enemy's preparations are so sufficient, and there are so many ballistas and trebuchets."
Amara felt a little heartbroken.
Although, all the soldiers here are not their direct descendants.
However, they are their own people anyway, and besides, if they continue to consume so unrestrainedly, I am afraid that the leaders of those tribes will also have opinions on him.
"Mingjin withdraws troops." Helpless, Amala had no choice but to give up the attack temporarily.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for 200,000 people to rush to the city wall without tens of thousands of people dying.
And when they got to the city, it was unknown how many people would die.
What's more, there will be a brutal and bloody siege battle at that time. It's no wonder that these 200,000 people can take Pingyuan City.
"Ding Ding! Dang Dang!"
As the sound of Ming Jin sounded, all the soldiers of the expeditionary army pulled up their legs and ran back after hearing it.
That posture seemed to resent their parents for not giving them more legs.
Pingyuan City.
The lieutenant general asked, "General, do you want the cavalry battalion to attack?"
"No need." Zhao Chong resisted the urge this time.
Yesterday, it was because the enemy was not ready, so he was able to attack with confidence.
However, today is different. Although these enemy troops are in a terrible state, their other troops are ready to go at any time.
He believed that if he dared to let the cavalry battalion attack, the other party would not give up taking the opportunity to bite him.
"yes."
The lieutenant didn't say anything more.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Chong ordered the soldiers to check all the equipment carefully, and asked the civilian husbands to help replenish the military supplies.
"Now, if you can hurry up, hurry up, the next wave of enemy attacks may be even more fierce."
"Even, there may be immortal cultivators."
Zhao Chong is very clear.
At the same time, he asked all the cultivators on his side to pretend to be personal guards to protect Own.
At this time, in the base camp of the expeditionary force.
In the commander's tent.
"Your Highness, we lost more than 30,000 soldiers in this battle."
"What? You lost so much in just a short while?"
When the generals heard this, they all gasped.
Although they had millions of troops, they lost more than 30,000 in one fell swoop, and they were still very distressed.
And Amara seemed to have been prepared for a long time. He took a deep breath and analyzed today's situation: "Judging from today's attack, the enemy's preparations this time are very sufficient."
"Obviously, if we want to take this Pingyuan City by force, I'm afraid we will lose more than half of our troops."
"You know, apart from Pingyuan City, we also have Guangyuan City to fight."
"If we lose more than half of our troops in Pingyuan City, if we reach Guangyuan City, even if we take it, we will suffer heavy losses."
"Even, it is very likely that we will not be able to go south anymore."
A general also said: "Yes, besides, the guard of Guangyuan City is Liu Guangjing, he is more familiar with us, and most of our tribe members are somewhat timid when facing Liu Guangjing. "
"In this case, I think we may not be able to defeat Guangyuan City."
Although this statement is very frustrating, it is also true.
They have an army of one million, but they can't take down the city guarded by 200,000 troops?
No matter how you say it, it's a bit ridiculous.
But, that's the way it is.
At this time, Lu Lu asked, "What's the current situation of Zhengdong Army?"
"The Heroic Soul Sect has already sent people to investigate, but judging from the past situation, I'm afraid that the Eastern Zheng Army will be in danger again."
"If there is no Eastern Conquerment Army, we can only rely on ourselves in this battle. Therefore, we have to deploy some more troops to prevent the aid of Guangyuan City."
"Right now, the best way is to let the cultivators attack."
