Early the next morning, Shi Chui got up early. At this time, there was also movement in the camp. The people there were also up, burying pots and making rice. After the meal, today's attack was about to begin.
The situation in Shi Chui's military camp was similar. They also started to eat here. After eating, they did not leave the camp. Instead, they began to drill in the camp in batches. However, this time the drill was different from the previous ones. The difference was that this time they didn't make such a big noise. If you didn't look closely, you wouldn't know what the people in the military camp were doing.
Shi Chui is not afraid of Nian Jiu, but he does not want to offend all the people in the anti-Holy Court Alliance now, because if what he is practicing in the military camp at this time is known to people from other city-states, they will definitely be very angry.
"We are going to work hard now. It's really abominable that you are still in the mood to practice slowly when you are here." I am afraid that all the city-states who saw Shi Zhui and the others would have such thoughts.
Shi Zhui and the others didn't look at the drill situation. Now they couldn't make too much noise or conduct too much drills, just to keep the soldiers in shape.
The situation there on the 19th of the year was completely different from the leisurely situation of Shi Chui and the others. After the army gathered on the 19th of the year, they immediately started to attack again. This time their attack method was very similar to yesterday. Still shooting, after suppressing the opponent, trebuchets attacked, followed by infantry siege.
But when they attacked the city today, they attacked very violently, which made the people in the city a little uncomfortable for a while. The siege troops were killed several times on the city wall, but in the end they were all captured. The city was also brightly lit. They took out a few of their own city defense weapons, which they had not taken out yesterday. At the same time, the bed slaves in the city also began to join the battle on a large scale. The number of arrows fired from the city increased. Look, the number of bed slaves in the city. The number of bed slaves they had was no less than that of New Year's Eve. In other words, they did not use all their strength in the bed slave attacks yesterday and today. This should be one of the trump cards in town.
As soon as they saw this, Nian Yijiu and the others were relieved. It would be best if they could force the opponent's trump card out. From now on, they would have to guard against the opponent's move.
Today's attack involves five thousand people per echelon. Each echelon had to lose at least a thousand people before retreating, which made the siege battle very difficult. The defenders felt huge pressure. In their view, the opponent's attack was completely regardless of casualties. , they naturally began to fight back with all their means.
Time passed little by little, and the attacks of one echelon after another never stopped, but the effect became worse and worse. Just like Shi Chui said. Now is not the time to launch such a violent attack. The time has not come yet. If such a violent attack is launched in the next few days, the effect will definitely be better. Now the soldiers in the city have sufficient physical strength, sufficient supplies, and high morale. High, at this time, the effect that launching such a violent attack can have. It's really not that good.
In the morning, several people in the city had not yet adapted to the sudden attack rhythm, so they were attacked by the coalition forces several times on the city wall, but in the end they were all beaten down. By the afternoon, the people in the city had adapted to this attack rhythm, and the following echelons failed to attack the city wall.
The Wukong-level masters prepared in Nian 19 were not used, because the city did not send Wukong-level masters to participate in the battle, and Nian 19 did not send those Wukong-level masters to participate in the battle. Because of the number of bed slaves in the opponent's city, Nian Yijiuzhen is afraid. If he sends Wukong-level masters to join the battle now, he will repeat the same mistake as the Holy Land. He has not yet faced the opponent's Wukong-level masters. At that time, he had to pass the test of being a bed slave first. This was not what Nian Yijiu wanted to see. Nian Yijiu was very clear that if more ordinary soldiers were lost, those city-states might not say anything. There are too many empty-level masters, and the people in those city-states will not agree.
After a day's attack, when Ming Jin withdrew his troops at night, they still failed to do anything to Nanhua Gate. After the army returned to the camp, Nian Yijiu immediately beat the drums to gather the generals and recruited all the generals into the big tent.
After everyone arrived in the big tent, Nian Yijiu glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone has seen today's attack. Our thinking is right. Today's attack has already tested the opponent's ability." Their trump cards, their new city-defending equipment, and the extra bed slaves are all things we need to pay attention to. However, today the opponent's Wukong-level master did not participate in the battle, which also proves the city from another aspect. There is still some energy left, let’s talk about what else you want to add.”
Everyone was silent for a moment, and then one person said in a deep voice: "What I'm worried about now is that there will be other things that haven't been revealed in the city. Our attack today has been very fierce, but except for the morning, they They were caught off guard. In the afternoon, they had completely adapted to our attack. They didn't seem to have any discomfort or worry about our attack. They seemed to be very relaxed in dealing with it, so I was a little worried."
Others also nodded. They were also very worried. The fighting power shown in the city today was really not weak at all. Those people had already climbed onto the city wall and were beaten down in the end. Such a thing, This is not common in siege warfare.
Nian Yijiu nodded and said, "I'm also worried about this. Let's look at it this way. Tomorrow we'll continue to attack with this kind of attack power for a whole day to see what the other side has not brought out."
Everyone could only nod their heads now. So far, their casualties have been close to 10,000. In this case, they have not been able to do anything to Nanhua City, and they have not even tried out all the opponent's trump cards. , which made everyone a little worried.
Early the next morning, on New Year's Day, they started cooking at four o'clock. They had finished eating at six o'clock and began to form the formation. After more than nine days, the formation was set up on time, and the new day's attack began.
The routine is still the same, bed slaves, trebuchets, and finally the troops attack. But today the defenders changed their methods. They actually threw down more than a dozen huge logs from the city, and these original forests , even with huge wooden thorns, these logs took advantage of the mountain and rolled down the mountain. Their power was like thunder, making the attacking infantry turn around and run away in fright.
But there was no way they could outrun the logs. Those dozens of logs carved a bloody path from the mountain to the bottom of the mountain. These dozen logs alone caused thousands of casualties to the coalition forces. In the end, if it hadn't been for a few If a Wukong-level expert takes action, the casualties caused by this log will only be greater.
When they saw this situation, Nian Yijiu and the others were a little dumbfounded. Although these dozen logs were moved aside by Wukong-level masters, this had a huge impact on morale. Looking at those logs, from The mountain rolled down like thunder, and the unstoppable look made Nian Yijiu and the others feel frightened, not to mention the ordinary soldiers. They were really scared. If they were allowed to attack now, they would I'm afraid they will be defeated if they can't attack the mountain.
Nian Yijiu took a few deep breaths to stabilize his emotions, and then he said: "Ming Jin, withdraw the troops!" Waves of ringing sounds came from the camp, and the army slowly retreated back to the camp.
After the army returned to the camp, Nian Yijiu gathered the generals with drum beating and called everyone to the Chinese army's tent. After everyone sat down in the tent, Nian Yijiu looked ugly. Calling the crowd, he said, "Let's talk about it, how can we crack the defensive equipment that was displayed in the city today?"
No one spoke. The impact of the dozen giant trees on them today was really too great. They never thought that the other party would use this move to deal with them. The giant trees were not only huge, but also extremely heavy. The wooden thorn is rolling down the mountain. If it is really pressed upright by him, a person will turn into a puddle of flesh in the blink of an eye. Coupled with the unstoppable momentum, to be honest, this is The blow to morale is immeasurable. If this problem is not solved, they will have no hope of winning this battle.
But they had never thought before that the other party would use something to defend the city. Now that the other party suddenly showed up, they really couldn't do it if they wanted them to think of a solution in a short time.
Nian Yijiu saw that everyone was silent, and his face was a little ugly, but he also knew that it was not everyone's fault. It was really not easy for him to come up with a way to solve the opponent's rolling log formation in a short period of time. thing.
But this problem has to be solved. If they don't solve the problem, how can they deal with the Nanhua Gate? If they don't take the Nanhua Gate, how can they enter the Nanhua City-state? It's over.
The entire tent fell into silence, and everyone was thinking of ways. Only Shi Zhui and the others were sitting in the tent with the mentality of watching a show. But the tent was so quiet now, so of course they wouldn't They knew very well that making a sound at this time would attract everyone's attention, so Shi Zhui and the others closed their mouths and even sat there with their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.
Nian Yijiu kept looking at the people in the big tent. Of course he also saw the expressions of Shi Zhui and the others. However, Nian Yijiu did not provoke Shi Zhui and the others. The reason was very simple. He and Shi Zhui and the others did not deal with each other. Today he suffered such a big loss again. If he provoked Shi Zhui and the others at this time, if Shi Zhui and the others said something unpleasant, wouldn't he have no choice but to suffer this huge loss? That's why Nian Yijiu would not provoke Shi Zhui and the others at this time. If he had won today, he would have ridiculed Shi Zhui and the others here. Now that he is at a loss, he will not make himself uncomfortable.
But it is not a problem that the whole tent has been so silent. Just before the meeting was announced to be adjourned on the 19th of the year, a general suddenly said: "Sir, leader, can we invite Wukong-level masters to stand in the front row? As long as they can fend off those rolling logs, the subsequent attack will be left to us."
When Nian Yijiu heard what he said, he couldn't help but be stunned. Then he couldn't help but think about the suggestion carefully, and finally thought it was a good suggestion. (To be continued.)
