While Lan Xu was discussing the defense of the city with the generals of the Star Army, on the other side, in the Yi Army tent, after waiting for several hours for no response from the Star Army, Ruan Qiling directly ordered the Yi Army soldiers who sent troops today to withdraw from the main camp. camp.
Before retreating, Ruan Qiling had already made it clear that the Star Army would not go out of the city to fight again. He didn't know how Lan Xu convinced the generals, but he and many wing army generals had seen Lan Xu's outstanding ability.
After withdrawing his troops, Ruan Qiling directly called the generals together to discuss the battle, and set the battle time for early tomorrow morning. Now Ruan Qiling and others are discussing how to attack Wufeng City in one fell swoop. As Lan Xu thought, the Yi army was actually more anxious to attack the city.
In addition, there is one thing that Lan Xu and others guessed correctly. Yijun did contact people from the Feng Kingdom before attacking the city, and directly found the Feng Kingdom royal family. Then the Feng Kingdom royal family members came forward to secretly reach an agreement with many local forces. partnership.
In the past few days, the Yi Army was scolding outside the city, and the news that the Star Army did not dare to fight had spread in Wufeng City and the surrounding area. With Ruan Qiling secretly sending people to spread rumors that the Star Army was about to be defeated, some remaining forces in the Feng Kingdom They have all secretly accepted the call from the former royal family members and are preparing to unite the Yi Army to attack the Star Army and avenge the people of Feng Kingdom who died under the sword of the Star Army. Of course, those people are still watching the situation.
If the Yi army can break through Windless City and defeat the Star Army, they will block the Star Army's retreat from the rear, thus encircling and annihilating all the Star Army. If the Yi army cannot break through Windless City, they will stand still and fear the Star Army's military might. Those resisting forces also did not dare to act rashly, but as far as Yijun was concerned, they had received strong support from Feng State.
As long as the people of the Feng Kingdom do not help the Star Army and do not hinder their conquest of the Star Army, Ruan Qiling and other generals know the benefits promised by the ancient Yuan Kingdom to the Yi Kingdom. As long as they can defeat the Star Army, the Feng Kingdom It would become the territory of Yi Kingdom, so what Yi Jun said when wooing the Feng Kingdom royal family was very different from their real purpose, but those Feng Kingdom personnel didn't know it.
The attitude of the local forces in Feng Kingdom is an invisible pressure on the Star Army. Whether it can ensure the stability of the rear depends on the next battle between the two sides.
Time passed quickly, and another day passed in the blink of an eye. After nightfall, Lan Xu asked the general below to announce that the Yi Army was about to attack the city, and asked all the soldiers to have a good rest and prepare for the battle. Judging from the abnormal behavior of the Yi Army today, Lan Xu It has been speculated that Yi Jun's attack time will be tomorrow. Of course, he cannot guarantee whether Yi Jun will suddenly attack the city tonight, so he asked spies outside the city to pay close attention to Yi Jun's every move.
After the generals conveyed Lan Xu's instructions, the originally peaceful night was no longer peaceful. Many star troops realized that the battle they had been waiting for for a long time was about to come. The thought that they would be able to kill some wing troops quickly, Everyone was extremely emotional.
Then, after the generals said some words to boost morale, the morale of the three armies was high. Standing between the queues, Lu Yunyou could clearly feel the morale of the army rising. The radical changes made people's blood boil.
When it was time to rest at night, everyone could not calm down for a long time. So, before going to bed, many star troops gathered in twos and threes to discuss how they could vent their anger on the Yi Army. The originally peaceful night was not as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. A storm is brewing.
As the tension before the war became more and more intense, the situation in the army made Lu Yunyou feel more and more like going back to the time when they were ambushing Feng Jun behind a mountain a few months ago. From top to bottom, everyone was filled with murderous intent. , morale is extremely high.
It stands to reason that this kind of pre-war atmosphere would make people more nervous, so it would affect the normal rest of the personnel. But surprisingly, the more it is like this, the more peaceful the Star Army can rest.
After learning the news that the Yi Army was about to attack the city, the Star Army, which had been suppressed for several days, finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed easy to relax. After the discussions stopped, all that was left was the sound of uninterrupted snoring.
It was an uneventful night. On the first morning, just after dawn, a trumpet sounded outside. Before that, the spies outside the city had sent back the news that the Yi army had started cooking at the fifth watch, and the meal time was earlier than usual. , not surprisingly, it was a signal that the Yi Army was about to send troops.
After receiving the news, Lan Xu immediately ordered the three armies to prepare for war as soon as possible. When the news of the entire assembly came, each of the soldiers who had been woken up early realized that the enemy was coming, and then waited for the instructions to prepare for war to be conveyed, one by one. The army was in a tight formation, waiting only for further instructions from the general above.
In front of the city tower, the flags of the Star Army were waving constantly. The long walls on both sides were already filled with soldiers. Archers and crossbowmen stood cross-legged. There were dozens of ballistae specially used to deal with the siege equipment and siege giants of the Yi Army. Beasts, those crossbow gunners were all soldiers selected from the Arrow Camp, and all of them were tall, powerful and powerful.
Thousands of archers are deployed on the long city walls, as well as thousands of infantry responsible for throwing stones and rolling logs. The city walls of Windless City are two meters higher than ordinary city walls. This height makes it possible to shoot arrows from below. The effect is even worse. If the two sides are shooting at each other, the Star Army must have a huge advantage.
By the time the Star Army was ready to deploy, the Wing Army had almost arrived at the city. The formation of more than 200,000 troops was unimaginably huge. There were hundreds of siege beasts in front of the long line of soldiers. Those beasts had been specially trained. Can help the army attack the city.
There are dozens of siege vehicles in front and back. Once the two sides start fighting, it won't take long for the Yi Army to use the siege vehicles to effectively attack the city wall and the Star Army on the city.
Advancing all the way, the Yi army was very powerful until they reached the city.
When the Yi army formed a formation outside the city, Lan Xu and the Qianxing army generals on the city looked solemn, and they kept looking at the Yi army below the city.
There were nearly 300,000 people, and it was still daytime. The formation of the Yi army was so huge that they couldn't see the edge. It gave them a far more shocking feeling than the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Feng Kingdom when they were guarding Huangyan Pass.
After looking down at the vast formation of the Yi Army, the generals who were originally leading the battle realized how stupid they were in persuading Lan Xu to go to war, and what big mistake they would have made if they went to fight at that time.
Fortunately, Lan Xu persuaded them at that time. Now that the Star Army's combat power is still there, they still have a solid city wall to rely on, so they don't need to be too afraid of the Yi Army. After all, many of the Yi Army are useless when attacking the city.
When all the stars were surprised by the strength of the Yi Army, in the middle of the military formation under the city, Ruan Qiling was sitting on the chariot with a majestic attitude. On both sides of the chariot, the Yi Army generals were riding tall horses with a majestic and domineering attitude. In front of the Yi Army, The front and back are divided into several parts. The infantry stands at the front, followed by the archers, then the shield soldiers, and after the shield soldiers are the cavalry.
The wing cavalry was in the rear, naturally because it was difficult for the cavalry to play a role in a siege at first, unless they could break through the city gate.
On the other side, the Star Army's cavalry were all deployed behind the city gate, just like when Lan Wu guarded Yan Pass, and many of the soldiers guarding behind the city gate had experienced the Battle of Yan Pass before. Too familiar.
The only difference is that Lan Xu is missing as the leading general, because now Lan Xu has become the pride of the cavalry soldiers. He is their majestic general. He not only leads their cavalry camp, but also leads the entire army. Many cavalrymen have already Lan Xu regards them as their role model.
Distributed on both sides of the cavalry, tens of thousands of archers and infantry are on standby. After the war begins, they will continue to rush to support the defenders in the city. In front of the archers and infantry, a group of Star Army generals have grim expressions, just waiting for the two sides to start fighting. This They had been waiting for a long time to defend the city, but when it came time to fight, they were still somewhat nervous.
On the city, Lan Xu and the generals looked over the Yijun array below. There were many differences from the previous Fengjun lineup. What attracted people's attention now were the hundreds of ferocious beasts in front of the Yijun array. Without exception, they were all The ferocious beasts that are good at climbing seem to be reserved for siege purposes.
The Yi Army's method of using ferocious beasts to attack the city was somewhat novel, and many Star Army generals were very surprised by this. It was hard to imagine how the Yi Army could control those inhuman ferocious beasts.
"General, is it possible that Yi Jun really wants to use those ferocious beasts to attack the city?" In surprise, Yan Nantian asked Lan Xu directly.
"Yes, can those ferocious beasts really climb up the city?" Before Lan Xu could answer, Fang Quyin also expressed his opinion.
"Haven't the two generals seen the ferocious beasts attacking the city?" Before Lan Xu could speak, a general who used to be responsible for guarding the border asked the two men.
"Not really," Fang Quyin shook her head in embarrassment the next moment.
"That's not surprising," the general who asked the question smiled and explained: "When I used to guard the border against the tide of beasts, I saw many ferocious beasts that were good at climbing jumping onto the city by stepping on the bodies of other ferocious beasts. The situation really caused a lot of trouble for the defenders on the city, but because the ferocious beasts would not attack the city gate, we were able to successfully block the tide of beasts every time."
