Whoosh whoosh!
A flying arrow shot at the White Elephant Army's position.
"No, the White Elephant Army actually used bows and arrows to attack us. It seems that they have begun to resist."
There was a burst of exclamation from the observation deck.
The general also frowned.
Obviously, this kind of counterattack by the White Elephant Army made him feel very troubled.
Just as they were discussing what to do, suddenly, bursts of fierce gunfire came from the observation deck again.
This time it was the White Elephant Army who opened fire.
"Damn it, they are trying to take the opportunity to sneak attack our army."
a deputy yelled.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
The deputy looked at the White Elephant King and asked for instructions.
The White Elephant King thought for a moment, and then said to the deputy:
"You first retreat with thousands of people, and then ask all the troops to stop attacking, and then say that all the White Elephant Army has surrendered."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The deputy immediately issued the order.
Immediately, the gate of Baixiang City opened.
A group of white elephant troops came out and began to retreat towards the city. Instead of pursuing the victory, they chose to give up.
This made the soldiers very confused.
Soon, they found out why.
Because, they found that they could not rush down at all. Below, they saw countless archers shooting.
All this made the White Elephant Army feel timid.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?"
one of the White Elephants asked.
"I don't know. If you continue to hold on for a while, I believe that the group of white elephants will not dare to act rashly. I believe that when they launch another attack, they will definitely have scruples. Then we can turn defeat into victory."
The White Elephant King said in a deep voice.
"Okay, let's hold on for a while."
The White Elephant Army nodded.
Soon, the soldiers under the city retreated into the city one after another.
"What's going on? Have these barbarians really surrendered?"
When a lieutenant saw this situation, he couldn't help but wonder.
Soon, he packed up his armor and led his soldiers out of the city gate.
Soon, he arrived near the city gate.
"Report."
The lieutenant shouted.
"What's up?"
a soldier came over and asked.
"Report to the general, that group of barbarians retreated under our eyes. I suspect that this group of barbarians wanted to take this opportunity to seize the entire city."
"How is this possible? They can't break through the city wall at all. How can they capture the city?"
"General, I don't know about this issue, but I think it is possible."
The deputy general shook his head and said.
"That's it! It seems that I have to rush to White Elephant City as soon as possible to see what's going on. You go and prepare, and then follow me to White Elephant City."
"yes."
Soon, the deputy general left.
After a while, the deputy general came to another city, then found a city lord and asked him about what happened.
"Oh, let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about the barbarians you just met."
"All right."
"According to the information we received, the White Elephant King sent troops to capture three other cities yesterday. However, they encountered strong enemy resistance and ultimately suffered heavy losses. White Elephant City lost most of its troops.
We have also tried to send people to reinforce White Elephant City, but there has been no way. Therefore, we decided to allocate some troops from the other four cities to reinforce White Elephant City. In this way, we can at least occupy the other four cities in a short period of time, and then in those cities Deploy troops in the city, and when the time comes, they will only be at our mercy.
However, just now, those barbarians suddenly appeared. Their weapons were very powerful. Many White Elephants were unable to resist them at all. "
The deputy general said.
"How do you know this?"
The city lord asked doubtfully.
"Reporting to the city lord, I don't know for sure. I just heard that the White Elephant King just sent people to the other four cities, and then encountered obstacles from the barbarians. Now the barbarians have all been beaten away by the White Elephant King's troops."
The deputy general said.
"Well, I also know the news. So, how do you think the White Elephant King will handle this matter?"
the city lord asked.
"I'm not sure about this. Maybe, he will continue to let other White Elephants go to the other four cities."
The deputy general said.
"I also know about this matter. You should go back first. When I gather the other three generals, we will go to White Elephant City together. I want to see what tricks they want to play?"
The city lord thought for a moment and said.
"Yes, my subordinates will go and prepare now."
The deputy general agreed and left.
"Report, City Lord, it's not good. The White Elephant King has led more than 20,000 cavalry under his command and has already entered the city gate."
At this moment, a soldier hurried over to report.
"What? They are here. Do they want to storm the city gate?"
The city lord was immediately shocked.
"I don't know. My subordinates only heard about this and didn't see it with their own eyes. However, the defenses at our city gate are very poor. I'm afraid they won't be able to defend it for long before they break through our city gate."
The soldier said in a panic.
"Okay, let's call the other city lords right away. Let's go to the city gate to meet the White Elephant King. We want to see how they break through our city gate."
The city lord pondered for a moment and then said.
"yes."
The soldier left in a hurry.
Soon, the city lord, accompanied by the generals, arrived at the city gate.
"Generals, I heard that you are all discussing siege tactics. I wonder if you have thought of it?"
The city lord looked at them and asked.
"City Lord, it's really hard to talk about this issue. We have only heard about it. As for the specific strategy, we haven't thought of it yet."
"Yeah, me too, we don't understand the terrain of the White Elephant Kingdom at all, and we don't know how to win this battle, so we really don't know what kind of decision we should make, and we hope the city lord can give us advice. "
"Yes, the White Elephants are much stronger than us now. Our city gates may not be able to stop them at all."
"City Lord, I suggest that we hide for a while and wait until our reinforcements arrive. Then we will send troops to attack the White Elephant Kingdom. By then, we will be able to easily conquer the White Elephant Kingdom and capture the White Elephant City."
One of the generals said.
"Although the method you mentioned is very good, we don't have much time to wait now. We must make a quick decision. Otherwise, the White Elephant Kingdom will really be captured by the barbarians. In that case, it will lead to Our country has been completely annexed by barbarians."
The city lord frowned and said.
"Well, we can try to negotiate with the Baixiang Kingdom. If they are willing to cooperate with us, then we can temporarily stop attacking Baixiang City. Then, we can arrange a large number of troops to come from other places to help us attack the Baixiang Kingdom. , we captured the White Elephant Kingdom in one fell swoop. No matter how powerful the barbarians are, they will never be able to resist our attack. "
At this time, another general stood up and said.
"This method is good, but I'm worried that the White Elephant King will reject us. After all, at this time, what he needs is an ally that he can trust, and we are not his most trusted allies. Moreover, I am worried that they will deal with us."
The city lord said in a deep voice.
"City Lord, don't worry, the White Elephant King still needs to rely on us. He will definitely not reject us."
A general said with a smile.
"I hope so."
The city lord sighed and then said.
"No matter what, we cannot sit still and wait for death."
"Well, you are right. Now we must find a way to delay the arrival of reinforcements."
"We can send an army to White Elephant City, and then contact the White Elephant King to ask him to send troops to reinforce us. In this way, we can resist the barbarian attack."
"Well, your method is very good, so let's do it."
...
Soon, after everyone had discussed it, they dispersed and began to look for the people they needed to contact.
Soon, the city lord was the only one left in the city lord's mansion, and he was also thinking about how to turn the situation into a situation that was beneficial to him.
At this time, a familiar face appeared in his mind. That face was the person who had negotiated terms with him in Baixiang City.
That person was none other than Lin Haotian.
"City Lord, I'm afraid this incident has something to do with him. Only by catching him can we know our plan. Otherwise, we won't be able to implement it at all."
At this time, a voice came over. The city lord looked up and saw the general who had just been discussing countermeasures with him.
"Yes, I also think that this incident has something to do with that kid. Otherwise, why would the White Elephant King choose to attack when we just set off? He must have expected that we would fight."
Another general also echoed.
"Well, since it was his idea, we must catch him. Don't worry about this. I will definitely catch him. Let's wait for now."
"yes."
Everyone said one after another.
Soon, they were waiting for a secret letter, which stated what they needed. As long as they could implement what was written in the letter, they could successfully win it. White Elephant City.
After reading the contents of the secret letter, several people exchanged glances with each other, and then they dispersed.
Early the next morning, when everyone woke up, they found that they were surrounded by archers, and these archers all held bows and arrows in their hands. As long as they made any movement, they would be violently attacked.
"City Lord, what's going on?"
As soon as the city lord walked out of the room, the general stopped him and asked with a frown.
"City Lord, what are you doing?"
"Hmph, didn't you all discuss it last night? Why are you regretting it now? Don't you know that we are now fighting the White Elephant Kingdom?"
An old man snorted coldly and looked at the city lord with cold eyes.
"Everyone, I know you are very dissatisfied with us, but now we really need to fight the barbarians, and we don't want to conflict with you, but we must know where the barbarians came from. Only in this way, we Only then can we formulate the next battle plan."
The city lord looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"How can we trust you? What if you trick us?"
"City Lord, you are deceiving us. At this time, you are still thinking about fighting the barbarians. Are you too naive?"
A group of people roared with indignation, looking at them as if they wanted to tear the city lord into pieces right away.
"Everyone, you have misunderstood me. Now we not only have to fight the barbarians, but also contact the barbarian army. We want to use this opportunity to eliminate the barbarians so that the barbarians will never be able to set foot in our territory again. Half a step, and we have to cut off their food and grass, so that they are short of food and their soldiers cannot continue to attack. "
The city lord explained quickly.
"City Lord, I disagree with your words. Although your proposal can temporarily solve our current predicament, it does not solve the problem. As long as the barbarian reinforcements arrive, we will definitely face more severe dangers."
said a general.
"I know this, but we have no choice now. Only by doing this can we have a way to survive. You also know that we have no retreat now. We can only resist with all our strength, otherwise, we can only wait to die. ." The city lord shouted loudly.
"You are too reckless to do this. If you do this, the White Elephant Kingdom's army will attack us more unscrupulously. We will suffer heavy losses by then."
Ranwen
An old man stood up and accused the city lord.
"I know, we all know, but there is no other way. We can't let the White Elephant King's troops continue to attack us. Otherwise, we will really lose this war. Don't you think so?" City Lord He looked at the old man and asked.
"This..." The old man hesitated.
"Old Wang, it's better not to persuade the city lord. The city lord is also doing it for our own good. Our only choice now is this method. No matter what, we can't let the White Elephant King's army break through our defense line. This is our The only choice is, I hope you won’t hinder us.” The city lord looked at everyone and said in a deep voice.
"this......"
The old Wang hesitated. He didn't expect that the city lord would be so insistent. If it were normal times, he would definitely not agree, but it was different now. He knew that the city lord did this for their own good. If they stopped him again, If you disturb the city lord, it will really affect the safety of the entire city.
With this thought, he no longer objected and could only agree.
"Okay, now that everyone agrees, let's start preparations."
"good!"
The generals nodded, knowing that this was the only option they had now.
Immediately, the generals left.
soon
