Chapter 4470: Defending the Small Town
The martial arts cultivators in the city and the tens of thousands of prisoners and slaves they had accumulated were organized into several defense teams and divided into three shifts to take turns defending the city wall. If everything went well, they could last at least three months.
Then Ye Liuyun arranged the previously captured crystal cannons, crossbows and other equipment on the city wall.
At the same time, the weapon refiners are also helping to refine some puppets and bows in the late Tongtian and early Tongxuan stages to guard the city.
On three sides outside the city, Qiongqi was also called out to help set up many killing formations. In the three directions further away, painters also set up connected teleportation formations.
Then they quietly waited for Qin Fengzhao and Cheng Dingfeng's army to besiege them.
Qin Fengzhao and Cheng Dingfeng were also surprised. They had no chance of besieging the Wolfhounds, but when they failed, they locked themselves in the city.
They also knew that this mountain city would definitely be difficult to fight, but it was better than looking for them everywhere.
Although they also judged that the Wolf Hunters would definitely play some tricks, they still wanted to trap these people to death in the city.
As a result, all the armies and martial arts cultivators received the news and gathered in Kaoshan City.
The three sides outside the city were soon surrounded by people.
Cheng Dingfeng's army is directly opposite, Qin Fengzhao's army is on the left, and the garrisons mobilized from various cities are on the right.
There were strong martial arts warriors interspersed among the various armies, and they surrounded the mountain city tightly.
Qin Fengzhao also came personally and took charge of the scene.
After discussing with Cheng Dingfeng, he asked 50,000 soldiers stationed in the city and some martial arts cultivators to attack the city tentatively.
As a result, as soon as these people rushed closer, they were all trapped and killed by Qiongqi's formation. They suffered nearly 30% casualties before the formation was destroyed by the army behind them.
"And then on!"
Qin Fengzhao was unwilling to accept it, so he replaced another group of soldiers stationed in the city and continued to attack the city.
The spar cannons and powerful crossbows on the city wall opened fire together, quickly driving back these soldiers.
Cheng Dingfeng shook his head and asked Qin Fengzhao to stop attacking the city first.
"The soldiers stationed in the city can defend the city, but letting them attack mainly is just taking human lives and has no effect.
Let's change our main attack and let them cooperate! "
So next, the armies of Qin Fengzhao and Cheng Dingfeng began to prepare for war and were ready to attack the city.
Following Cheng Dingfeng's order, armies from three sides began to attack the city together. With so many armies attacking the city together, the crossbows and crystal cannons on the city walls were overwhelmed.
But the prisoners on the city wall took action at this time, sending out countless true energy bombardments, forming a strong defense, and blasted back the soldiers who had missed the powerful crossbows and crystal cannons.
At the same time, a strong Martial Saint and a group of late-stage Tongxuan martial arts cultivators had already bypassed Kaoshan City and headed towards the canyon behind Kaoshan City.
Although he knew there might be a trap, Cheng Dingfeng still had to try it so that he could find a way to break it.
Qin Fengzhao was slightly relieved when he saw the dense martial arts defense on the city wall.
Such intensive defensive attacks can indeed make the city wall impenetrable. But he felt that those in the city would not be able to hold on for long.
So he asked Wu Xiu to join the siege team and consume the city's defensive power together.
The Wolfhounds in the city did not participate in the defense at all, but rested in place to recharge their batteries.
There are two teams of Wu Xiu waiting for their rotation on the city wall. One team is also resting, and the other team is making preparations.
Once the martial arts warriors guarding the city are exhausted, they can take over.
Cui Daoran was also chatting with Ye Liuyun.
Cui Daoran said: "They may have thought that we could not consume them, so they changed the exploratory siege to a continuous attack!"
Ye Liuyun also nodded: "Fight slowly, they don't have many soldiers to consume. When they mobilize more soldiers to station in the city, we will use the teleportation array to sneak attack their city and seize resources."
"Why is there still no movement in the canyon behind?" Cui Daoran looked at the narrow passage guarded by Ye Shuangdao and asked.
Ye Liuyun smiled and said: "They must be worried that we have set up an ambush outside, so they are cautiously moving forward little by little to test!
Don't worry, they will send people to attack from there sooner or later, and they will definitely be strong.
The terrain is a barrier that cannot be overcome by anyone. Unless a strong man comes, he will definitely not be able to defeat it just by relying on numbers! Then you can expand your team again! "
"Well! Apart from their weak murderous aura, the soldiers of the Zhennan Palace are really good in other aspects! The five hundred soldiers you brought back last time quickly took advantage of them!"
Cui Daoran also said expectantly.
The two of them were chatting leisurely. When they saw that the defensive force on the city wall was almost exhausted, they asked the second team to go up and replace them.
The armies of Cheng Dingfeng and Qin Fengzhao outside the city had each lost nearly ten thousand people, but they still did not stop and wanted to capture the city in one go.
They will also attack when sieging a city, and they will have archers assisting them from a distance.
Therefore, the group of people replaced by Ye Liuyun also lost 30%.
The opponent's strong Martial Saint has never made a move. Ordinary soldiers can do things like siege a city.
If the Martial Saint is killed by a crystal cannon or a powerful crossbow, they will suffer a big loss.
"Third team on!" Cui Daoran shouted and replaced the second team.
Cheng Dingfeng and Qin Fengzhao outside the city felt that the defensive force on the city wall had strengthened again. They also guessed that a new batch of defensive force had been replaced, and they couldn't help but frown.
After fighting for a day, both armies suffered heavy casualties, but they actually still had fresh troops available.
Cheng Dingfeng was a little reluctant to let go!
He suggested to Qin Fengzhao: "My Lord, we still don't have enough manpower! They have been trapped here and will not attack the city.
Let's transfer all the garrisons in the nearby cities to assist us in the siege?"
"Okay! Qin Fengzhao also immediately transferred the garrisons of more than 20 cities of varying sizes around."
Their siege finally stopped.
The two main forces each lost nearly 20,000. And those garrisons were even worse, with casualties exceeding 70,000.
At this time, Ye Shuangdao also found that the formation arranged in the canyon had moved.
Finally someone entered the canyon
Ye Liuyun immediately rushed over and found that they were three scout soldiers who had been confused by the illusion formation and were walking forward stupidly.
What they saw was that the canyon had no end. In fact, Ye Liuyun and his men could see their figures with their naked eyes.
"The soldiers in the late Tongxuan period are exploring the way. Sure enough, they are all strong men. There must be a martial saint following behind!" Cui Daoran shouted excitedly.
"Call a few soldiers to drive these scouts back." Ye Liuyun also ordered Cui Daoran immediately.
So Cui Daoran immediately called a few soldiers to guard the end of the canyon.
Ye Shuangdao temporarily dodged and let the soldiers take action. Several soldiers joined forces to attack and killed the scouts in the front.
At the same time, Ye Liuyun closed the formation and let the three people regain consciousness.
