Dark Fairy

Chapter 371 Different Purpose of War
Compared with daytime battles, night battles will be more uncertain and difficult.This is not only true for the attacker, but also for the defender.

When a huge fire is lit at the top of the city and at the foot of the city wall, the light will be blinded by the occluders that appear, and it is difficult to see things clearly in these blind spots.Not to mention that the battlefield is full of running targets, and if there is a problem with the light, it is easy to make mistakes in defense.

The same goes for the siege party. Under backlight conditions, it becomes ten times more difficult to rely on experience and use the small shield in your hand to block arrows shot from high places.

From the time when the sky got dark to the middle of the night, Liu Jianyu on the top of the city tower had twice drawn people from the reserve force to fill them up on the west and south walls, and the number of people filling up was more than [-]!He played half of the hole cards in his hand directly!
But now it is still a little short of one-third of the time that Liu Jianyu insisted on "sticking to it for three days".

"General!"

"speak!"

"Vice-General Dongcheng Bai once again sent 230 seven barbarian heads. His subordinates have verified that the number is correct and they are all freshly chopped off. According to Vice-General Bai, 360 seven people were killed this time." Chen Shen hurried over , sent an abrupt and exciting news to Liu Jianyu in front of Liu Jianyu.

"Huh?!" Liu Jianyu turned around suddenly, this time he didn't just listen, but asked Chen Shen to take him to look at the heads of those savages.

The expression on Liu Jianyu's face softened a little when he saw the big heads in rattan baskets.The night battle for several hours now has really hit his previous morale too badly.He had planned to resist for three days before, but now it seems that if the barbarian almost maintains the intensity of his day and night attacks like now, he has no idea whether he can last until evening today.After all, more than half of the cards in his hand were played out in just one day and night, no matter how optimistic he was, he couldn't be more optimistic.

To say that the only surprise after the war started was Bailang in the East City.Liu Jianyu previously felt that Yunyan's attention was on the two southwestern city walls, and would not be attracted to the east. After all, the terrain there decided that it was not suitable for large-scale killing at all.But the barbarian's surprise attack for the first time during the day frightened him. Fortunately, the white waves blocked it. Otherwise, once the east city was breached, the entire city defense would be in chaos.

Now the barbarians attacked Dongcheng again at night but failed. More than two hundred people were beheaded. Counting the more than fifty before, after two battles, Bai Langguang killed nearly three hundred barbarians with more than 500 men in hand!Looking at the entire Hong Dynasty, this record can scare many people.

"Let Bai Lang come to see me quickly!"

Chen Shen should be, and was about to turn around to do it, but was stopped by Liu Jianyu.

"Forget it, it's really inappropriate to ask him to come here at this time. You go to Dongcheng again, and make up for Bailang's lost people. You don't need to say anything else, just tell him to help Yongchuan City guard a retreat! "

"General, this."

Liu Jianyu waved his hand and refused to say more, indicating that Chen Shen would just pass the message to Bai Lang.

Not long after, when Chen Shen saw Bailang again, he couldn't help but be a little more kind in his words, and he no longer put himself above the other party as before, but was equal or even obviously elevated. The meaning of Bailang.

"Vice General Bai, the general is relieved to have more than 200 heads sent over. Now the west and south walls have been stepped on and the battle paths are sticky to the feet. Layers upon layers of blood have been smeared on them. Soldiers They didn't even cry out in pain. When the barbarians bit someone, they dug them out with knives. If one of them couldn't survive, three or five of them would pick him up. In many places, even the parapets were smashed.
The general hadn't closed his eyes for a moment from yesterday morning to today, and it was really difficult to keep the lieutenant in the battle.How long it will last is really hard to say.However, the general has something to say, please, Vice General Bai must guard the Dongcheng, the retreat route of Yongchuan City! "

When Chen Shen said this, he paused again, lowered his voice, and said: "Vice General Bai should know that once Yongchuan City is successfully defended, this can be said to be the first time in the history of the Hong Dynasty, and it will be huge. To a certain extent, the entire Hong Dynasty's current battle situation has been reversed. The generals who have contributed so much are inexhaustible, and the ones that fall on Lieutenant General Bai must be a heavy share. Please, Lieutenant General Bai, don't let the general down!"

With Chen Shen's words, Bailang naturally promised again and again that he would go all out.But he also understood that Liu Jianyu asked Chen Shen to come with such a speech, and he must have understood that Yongchuan City might not be able to hold for three days.And the so-called retreat.Isn't it the pier in the industrial park outside Dongcheng?

As for who will leave this escape route, Bailang is still unclear for the time being.Because according to the previous meaning of the Yamen of the Ministry of War, Yongchuan City must fight to the end, and even the last soldier must die with the city.But will this military order be changed because of Liu Jianyu's great achievements in flooding Lying Candang?Hard to say.After all, there has never been a general in the whole Hong Dynasty who can beat Yunyan with one and a half moves like Liu Jianyu. Isn't it too much and a waste of talents to make people fight to the death just after they come out?
Sending Chen Shen away, Bailang didn't take the words Liu Jianyu asked Chen Shen to bring and the last promises he made to his heart.

Shou?What to keep?

Before, Yunyan's army broke through Pengshan Pass, then broke through Pengshan City, and finally played a game of the Hong Dynasty's military strategy on the Tianfeng Plain.Then all the way to the north along the river, the momentum is like a broken bamboo.If you want to say that the barbarians are all strong because of their soldiers, then Bailang will definitely scoff.

I heard before that the Imperial Sect Yun Sect sent its outer disciples to the front line of Pengshan Pass early, and then even more inner disciples participated in the battle of Pengshan City.During the confrontation in Tianfeng Plain, the elders of the Imperial Sect's Yun Sect and even the inner sect also arrived there.

The inner disciples of the Yunzong of the Imperial Sect are at least in the middle and late stage of the Profound Vein Realm, and the elders are at least in the early stage of the Dao Dan Realm.But in several wars, has it ever taken advantage of it?

No!Not once!

What does this mean?It shows that there are forces in Yunyan's army that can compete with or even dominate the Qi trainers sent by Hong Chao, regardless of their number or cultivation level.

In the same way, some troops were left to continue to confront Hong Chao in Tianfeng Plain, and at the same time, partial troops were sent northward along the river to plunder food all the way to solve Hong Chao's strategy of fortifying walls and clearing fields in Tianfeng Plain.This road is equally strategically significant and extremely important compared to the main force confronting the Hong Dynasty in the Tianfeng Plain.Then how can you just watch but not do it?

After learning the real details of Yunyan barbarians from Hongxiu, Bai Lang's views on these barbarians deepened.

Hong Chao people don't want to die, even if they can be brave, they can fight regardless of life and death, they are all forced out, why should they go to the killing field to fight for their lives when they can live in peace?

But barbarians are different.They came to kill not just to plunder, or plunder was not their purpose of war.Their main purpose is to engage in "God Wars". The more enemies they kill, the happier the gods will be, and the higher their glory will be.As for whether they die or not, they really don't care much.

In the past, Bailang would think that this was brainwashing under the pretext of being holy.Now I know from Hongxiu that this is just a trick of the fairy kingdom.While suppressing too many livestock on one's own crop land, at the same time, let the wolves that suppress the livestock die more and maintain a certain appropriate number.

So Bai Lang has been wondering when those Tao Dan realm experts who must exist in Yun Yan's army will take action.The reason for not taking action at this time can only be that he hopes to "die more and give a better account to God."

So when the barbarians die enough, those masters will inevitably make a move. How can Yongchuan City be defended then?
