If Legen City is lost, Ren Biao can send his troops to continue marching north and cut off the support from Keli City and Baker City. By then, Red Maple City will be isolated and helpless. Even if Xiujie's tens of thousands of troops do not attack the city, the city will still hold on due to lack of resources. Can't live.
Zhang Shunxiao started to panic. He didn't know what to do. This was the first time he had such a strong feeling in his life. This feeling was like a bottomless abyss, so dark that he couldn't touch or see. He was about to feel deep inside. collapse.
If we were defeated this time, the foundation we had worked so hard to build would be destroyed. Zhang Shunxiao did not dare to think about it anymore, and weakly asked in a low voice: "Hong Fengliu, what should I do?"
If Legian City can be defended, Xiujie's army can be blocked to the south of Red Maple City, and Keli City and Baker City in the north can continuously support Red Maple City.
But now Zhang Shunxiao only has one combat hero, and he cannot allocate too many troops to support. Hong Fengliu said helplessly: "Legen City cannot be lost, and we can only let Gu Site lead two battalions of troops to support."
This may have been the best strategy. Zhang Shunxiao could only order Gust to lead troops to Legen City to resist Ren Biao's army.
Zhang Xuli hurried on without stopping and arrived at Valley City, southeast of Red Maple City.
Walking on the street, you can hear people passing by everywhere, and vendors on both sides are talking about the battle between Zhang Shunxiao and Xiu Jie.
"It's a big war. I wonder if Xiu Jie has been killed." Zhang Xuli thought to himself and listened carefully to the comments of the people next to him.
"I heard that tens of thousands of people died on the southern border of Red Maple City between the two armies."
"So much, the blood could flow into a river."
"Isn't that true? I also heard that Xiu Jie hacked Zhang Shunxiao to death with one blow."
"What?" Zhang Xuli rushed up and grabbed the person who just spoke: "Please tell me clearly, Zhang Shunxiao is dead?"
A person next to him said hurriedly: "Oh, don't, don't get excited. We have heard about it too, but there is news recently that Zhang Shunxiao has retreated to Red Maple City. Xiu Jie's army has sealed the south gate of Red Maple City and is ready at any time. Siege the city.”
Just sealing the south gate, Zhang Xuli breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, we just happened to enter through the east gate."
When he heard that Zhang Xuli was about to enter Red Maple City, the man turned pale with fright and said, "No, you can't go. There is a war over there. The city gate is not sealed to the east, but Xiujie's troops can be seen everywhere on the road in and out. "
"Let's see each other, whoever is afraid of whom." Zhang Xuli walked forward in a swagger, leaving the two people standing there blankly looking at Zhang Xuli's back, and said dreamily: "Look at him, don't you?" Do you look like a fool?"
"Hey, there's another corpse." Another person sighed softly.
After Xiujie sealed the south gate of Red Maple City, he received the news that Zhang Shunxiao was supporting Legen City. Futuo immediately said: "Lord, Legen City's troops are weak and there are no heroes. Now that Zhang Shunxiao sends Ghost, it will be a drop in the bucket. It won’t have much effect, but with Zhang Shunxiao in charge of Red Maple City, it will be very difficult to capture, and all support must be cut off.”
As long as Zhang Shunxiao can be eliminated, no matter how high the cost, Xiujie will agree: "How to cut it off?"
"Break Legen City and continue north." Futuo said.
Xiu Jie looked at Futuo and said, "Ren Biao's troops will not be enough unless we send more troops here to support them."
"It is not necessary to send troops from us," Futuo said: "Mu Shiyi, who is stationed in Houshuang City, can lead all the troops to support Ren Biao. After breaking through Legen City, he will immediately go north to cut off the support route of Hongmaple City."
"You still have more strategies." Xiu Jie said and immediately ordered someone to go and deliver the order.
In Red Maple City, Zhang Shunxiao deployed all his troops at the south gate, walked up to the tower and looked at Xiujie's army outside the city.
The black army covered the ground like a carpet, and each soldier stood quietly. The light shone on tens of thousands of weapons, giving off a cold murderous aura. Time seemed to have stopped, waiting for Xiu Jie's order.
"With so many troops, how long will they last?" Zhang Shunxiao sighed with emotion.
"Lord, now let's see if Ghost can defend Legen City." Hong Fengliu looked worried, his eyes were dark and he looked haggard. It was obvious that he had not slept last night.
Zhang Shunxiao didn't know where he got the courage, and said again: "If it doesn't work, open the city gate and I will fight Xiu Jie again."
Hong Fengliu said hurriedly: "No, Lord, we don't have as many troops as Xiu Jie. In addition, Xiu Jie's combat power is unmatched. We can only defend and cannot go out of the city to fight."
Just as he was talking, I saw the flags of Xiu Jie's army waving, and the formation began to change. Archers came out from both sides and moved forward neatly. Sword soldiers ran out from the middle, passed through Xiu Jie and others, and arrived in front of the army. Stop and line up neatly.
The archers on both sides came to the front, lined up according to the sword soldiers, drew their arrows, put them on the bow strings, and pointed them at the tower.
"No, they are going to attack. Lord, get down from the tower quickly." Hong Fengliu shouted hurriedly.
Zhang Shunxiao is a melee hero. The weapon he uses is a gun, no matter how powerful it is. Standing on the tower is useless and can only be used as a target by Xiujie's archers.
"As soon as Xiujie's army comes within range, attack immediately." Zhang Shunxiao turned around and walked down the tower with Hong Fengliu.
As soon as I arrived at the bottom of the city tower, I heard the sound of "swish, swish, swish..." arrows piercing the sky, followed by screams one after another from the tower.
Outside the city, Xiujie's archers were moving forward. After reaching the shooting range, they stopped and attacked the city tower. Under the cover of the archers in front, the archers behind rushed to the front row and began to attack the city tower. attack.
Wave after wave of archers entered the shooting range. Zhang Shunxiao's army on the tower had no time to attack, and was slowly suppressed by Xiu Jie's army. Archers kept falling to the ground after being hit by arrows.
Xiu Jie saw his army gaining the upper hand, with a smile on his face and said to the people around him: "Look, that city tower is almost turning into a hornet's nest."
Li Qun'ao opened his mouth and laughed: "Hahaha, no matter how powerful Zhang Shunxiao is, he still becomes a tortoise."
After Xiu Jie laughed, he asked, "Who is going to attack the city?"
"I'll go." Jin Hao shouted from behind.
This time it was mainly a tentative attack and did not require a physical fight. Seeing that Jin Hao was willing to fight, Xiu Jie immediately nodded in agreement: "Go ahead."
"Yes." Jin Hao responded, leading thousands of people to run out of the army and kill towards the city gate.
When the archer battalion commander on the tower saw Xiu Jie's army beginning to attack the city gate, he immediately ordered a soldier to run down the tower and report to Zhang Shunxiao.
"Lord, Xiujie has begun to attack the city gate."
Zhang Shunxiao was leaning against the city wall. After hearing Xiu Jie begin to attack the city gate, he asked: "How many people are there and who will lead the army?"
"About two thousand people. Judging from the flag, it should be Jin Hao."
