Chapter 318: Battle of Tiandu City

"I understand, I will never let such a thing happen to Qingyao Sword! Definitely!" Xuan Yue secretly swore as she slowly sheathed the Qingyao Sword.

"That's good. The sword is not only the way for you to become a strong person, but also your closest partner. If you lose him, you will lose the foundation of becoming a strong person!" The Holy King said with slight relief.

…

After fighting for a month, the soldiers finally got their hope. Although Xuan Yue came alone, he also brought hope. The ten newly formed regiments of the Great Qin State, with a total of five million troops, had already marched to Beijun. At most

It will take less than a month to reach Tiandu City. Due to the superior strength of the troops and the superiority of the soldiers, it will be easy to destroy the invading Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.

"Is this the Polu Grand Marshal? He is really young and promising." Sitting in the big tent in front of the city gate, the rosy-faced middle-aged man looked at Xuan Yue and asked respectfully.

"Well, I am City Lord Lu Xi. How are the troops, supplies, and the mood of the people in the city?" The official City Lord of Tiandu City in front of him, Lu Xi, is an elder of Lu's Trading Company in the Great Qin Dynasty.

As a character, the development of Tianducheng to this point is closely related to him.

"Reporting to Marshal Polu, although the Chu Kingdom's siege came suddenly, Tiandu City, as one of the four first-level cities in Beijun, is fully equipped with food, grass and equipment. Even if we wait for three months, we can fully support it. The only thing

The one with some trouble is Chu State

The soldiers destroyed all the fields outside the city. It may be difficult to grow food anywhere this year or even in the next few years." As he said this, Lu Xi felt a little angry. He just attacked the city and killed people, but he actually did such an unscrupulous thing. This

This made Lu Xi very angry.

"After looking at those people, I know that Tiandu City cannot be captured. They should negotiate to defend and start to delay." Although it was a few simple words, Xuan Yue knew that the generals of Chu State no longer had the confidence to capture the city.

.

"I hope so, but the current situation is still not optimistic. In one month of fighting, our soldiers have suffered serious losses. The original 100,000 city guards are now less than 60,000, and the 350,000 Army of Hope is now less than 300,000.

The volunteer army is better, they are not fighting on the front line and have lost less than ten thousand people, but I'm afraid it won't be long before they have to join the war." Lu Xi shook his head slightly and said.

"I'll start inspecting the city's defense in a moment. You can take someone with me to check in. Some places should be changed." Xuan Yue couldn't help frowning when she thought of the bare defense of the city wall with only archers. In this kind of defensive battle, even if

Even if the opponent has a catapult, it is impossible to attack like this.

Backhand rolling logs, stones, kerosene, oil pans, even barbs, hammer chains, etc. can be used. These things may seem small, but their effects are very powerful.

"Okay, I understand." Lu Xuan knew that the reason why this young man was named Polu Grand Marshal was because he had superb strategic vision and tactics. For an administrative businessman like him, it was right to listen to him.

"Brother Xuan Yue, are you back?" Just as Xuan Yue was about to go out, a crisp voice came in from outside, and then a smaller figure rushed in.

"Brother Xuan Yue, just be okay. Seeing you being chased by those hateful orcs, we all chased you, but every time we caught up, we were always worried, worried about you... Wuwu" hugging Xuan Yue's chest

, Yuyi said chokingly while crying.

"It's okay, everything is over. Am I back intact?" Xuan Yue said comfortingly as she gently stroked Yu Yi's hair.

"I knew you were so lucky that even the Furious Bear Emperor couldn't kill you. How could you be killed by those little bastards?" Zeng Yi opened the cover of the big tent and walked up to Xuan Yue and patted him on the hand.

He said with a deep voice on his shoulder.

"Brother, I knew you would be fine! Now that brother is here, those local dogs outside will be vulnerable." Following Zeng Yi, Wu Ran strode in.

"Don't, don't underestimate those people outside, every one of them is a fuel-efficient lamp." Hearing Wu Ran's slightly complacent words, Xuan Yue immediately shook her head and said.

"What's wrong? Are those people difficult to deal with? Compared to the orcs, their strength is very weak." Wu Ran was stunned by Xuan Yue's words, and then said in confusion.

"Strength is not measured by force alone. Our ability to defeat the orcs relies on a combination of strategy and wisdom. However, fighting with humans is completely different. They have wisdom and strategies that are not inferior to ours, weapons and armor that are not inferior to ours, and they have

We have machines and equipment that are more advanced than us. Under such circumstances, if we underestimate the enemy, we will suffer a big loss!" Xuan Yue said seriously every word.

Xuan Yue's words made Wu Ran a little embarrassed. He rubbed the back of his head and said resentfully, "What should we do? It's been a month, and many of the brothers who followed us have been killed by those local dogs. If we don't take care of them, I will

I feel uncomfortable."

"What we have to do now is not to attack, but to defend. In more than a month, our reinforcements will arrive, and it will be time for us to counterattack!" Wu Ran's tone let Xuan Yue know that the 50,000 dead City of Hope

How cruel his brothers were, but in order to gain time to counterattack, Xuan Yue still insisted.

"Okay, let's just defend and let those idiots outside live a little longer." Knowing that he couldn't change anything, Wu Ran said on the verge of death.

"Okay, now I'm going to take a look at the defense situation in each city. Anyone who wants to come can follow me. I'll tell you the key points of defense. By the way, City Lord Lu, I also want you to go to the drugstore in the city to collect poisonous weeds and poisons.

Get up, maybe you can use it when defending."

"Wu Ran, take your brothers to the city and collect as many things as possible that can be ignited, especially redwood and grease. Collect as much as you can. Then find more oil pans and prepare some shelves for firewood.

But it can be used when defending."

After arranging the two things, Xuan Yue walked onto the city wall under the leadership of the city guards.

There are countless soldiers lying, sitting, and leaning on the city wall. In this kind of high-intensity war, they are physically and mentally exhausted, but they dare not walk down the city wall. You don’t know when the Chu army will attack.

The soldiers will launch an attack. During this month of defense, the Chu army has carried out night attacks more than once at night. With an army several times larger than the city's defense, their attacks were unscrupulous.

"Zeng Yi, you mark the places on the city wall that can avoid direct attacks from trebuchets, set up fires there, and wait until the enemy attacks the city before putting them in a pot to introduce oil. When it boils, add some to paralyze people.

The poisonous weeds were thrown in, and those who were climbing up the ladder seemed to be thrown from the top of the ladder!" After walking along the city wall for several hundred meters, Xuan Yue revealed the first change.

The Tiandu City wall is twenty-five meters long, nearly eighty meters long. It would take at least a minute or two to climb up a wall of such a height using a ladder. Although elite soldiers can complete it within thirty seconds, such a climb

If the archer were to release arrows, it would only last three or two arrows at most, but if it were to pour oil into a frying pan, it would probably last until the boiling oil in the frying pan was poured clean.

"Okay! What a good idea. This is much easier than shooting arrows." As soon as Xuan Yue's plan was revealed, Zeng Yi clapped his hands and cheered.

Then he called dozens of soldiers who were familiar with the terrain of the city tower to start preparations. The Chu soldiers had just launched an attack today, and they didn't know when the next attack would be. It would be better to complete it as soon as possible.

"Dalong, take people to the blacksmith shop in the city to make a large number of meteor hammers and ground nails, the faster and more, the better!" Xuan Yue said to Dalong after turning a city wall in a circle.

"I know, don't worry, I will satisfy my eldest brother." Although he didn't know what Xuan Yue wanted to do, Dalong still ran quickly towards the city.

Xuan Yue then inspected the other three city walls. When all the city walls were observed, it was already dusk. During such a long time, the oil pans on the city walls had been set up, and some flammable grease firewood and a small amount of firewood had been set up.

The redwood trees are gathered together.

During the inspection, Xuan Yue discovered that not all trebuchets were in front of the city gates, and the strength of the soldiers in front of the four city gates was also slightly different. Then Xuan Yue ordered the mobilization of soldiers to replace them.

When Xuan Yue arrived, the East Gate had the largest number of City of Hope soldiers, 150,000, while the South Gate and North Gate were allocated 70,000 each, while the West Gate only had 10,000 soldiers.

Although the west gate only has 10,000 soldiers, it has the largest number of soldiers. All the city guards and volunteers are deployed at the west gate. In Xuan Yue's words, the enemies at the west gate are the weakest, and the weapons and equipment are also the worst.

Using volunteers and city guards plus 10,000 Army of Hope support is enough to defend against their attack. If we mobilize elites to deal with them, it will be a complete waste of force.

With a series of mobilizations, the defensive forces of the four city gates immediately changed drastically. When dusk arrived, hundreds of thousands of Chu soldiers once again began to slowly gather and advance from the front of the four city gates. Obviously

, today’s second siege is about to begin.

Xuan Yue stood on the city wall, looking at the Chu soldiers who were slowly advancing with large steel shields, feeling a little helpless. In a month of war, they had killed all the arrows, crossbows, and arrows in the city, as well as a large number of rolling stones and wood.

All the arrows were used up, and the few remaining arrows were improvised, but they had no effect at all against Chu's large steel shield that was three feet tall, nearly one meter high, and half a meter wide.

Under the suppression of the trebuchet, it became extremely difficult for the Daqin soldiers on the city tower to attack, but this did not affect the confidence of the people on the city wall. When Xuan Yue came here, they had no fear.

, after Xuan Yue's various changes, they were convinced that Marshal Polu would be able to lead them to defeat the invading native dogs, and victory was right in front of them.
