Chapter 697 Cannon Fodder
No matter what, everyone in the tent is their own confidant and their most trusted subordinates. They must be responsible for their safety and not allow or try to put them into dangerous situations as little as possible.
Thinking of this, Han Lei thought for a while and said, "Our Han family is too weak and has no stable base. Even if Lu Rong is killed, he will not be able to get everything from the Flying Tiger Gang. Instead, it will cause the full rebound of other members of the Flying Tiger Gang, which is not conducive to the development and growth of our Han family.
At the same time, Lu Rong held the power of the Flying Tiger Gang and had bad intentions for our Han family. Therefore, before Lu Rong digested the territory resources and population of Zhaojiabao, we must select 20,000 elite troops from 60,000 prisoners to make them absolutely obey our orders and supplement the shortcomings of our Han family army."
Hearing Han Lei's words, Han Qiang vvv, ≧.※↙. He asked involuntarily: "Young Master, the 60,000 prisoners in our hands are all strong. As long as we practice hard, we will become qualified soldiers. Why doesn't our Han family take them all under our command, but only choose 20,000 people?"
Looking at Han Qiang with a puzzled look, Han Lei hesitated for a while, as if he had made up some determination, and said with a firm look: "The place of chaos is not the place where we develop. After a while, we will leave here and go to the Roman Empire to develop."
Looking at Han Lei with a firm look on his face, Han Qiang, who had wanted to speak correctly, he hesitated for a while but still did not say anything against him.
After making up his mind, Han Lei felt relieved all over. He had long wanted to leave the land of humiliation and go to the Roman Empire to develop, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.
In his opinion, the chaotic land is far away from the mainland, and its economic resources and population are very scarce compared to the mainland. At the same time, the local power of the chaotic land is extremely large. It is difficult for outsiders like their Han family to be recognized by locals, and it is even more difficult to develop and grow.
More importantly, he believed that the chaotic land was too small to be able to exert his talents. As long as the vast continent was the stage suitable for his development, the Han family's 30,000 elite army was his bargaining chip and a tool for his talent.
After casually scanning the people in the tent, a few glares flashed in Han Lei's eyes and said loudly: "I have calculated that it will take at least one month for Lu Rong to rectify the population and resource territory of Zhaojiabao. We will also leave the chaotic place in a month and go to the Roman Empire to develop.
During this month, we declared to the public that we vowed to break through Zhaojiabao and avenge the revenge of the adults. We used this as an excuse to ask Lu Rong for food weapons. If Lu Rong wanted to gain allegiance from the Flying Tiger Gang army, he would definitely agree to our request and send a large number of food weapons, so that we can use these food and grass weapons to arm 60,000 prisoners and let 60,000 prisoners continue to attack Zhaojiabao.
If we can break through Zhaojia Fort and get a lot of wealth stored in Zhaojia Fort, if we can't break through Zhaojia Fort, we can also use the protection of Zhaojia Fort to train an elite army and eliminate unqualified soldiers. In this way, when we leave, we will obtain an elite army that is good at siegeing."
When everyone in the tent heard Han Lei's words, their eyes lit up. They understood what Han Lei meant, and wanted to use Zhaojiabao to train troops to gain a good reputation, as well as a large amount of food, weapons and other materials to enhance the strength of the Han family army, and take the opportunity to plunder a large amount of wealth to prepare for their trip to the Roman Empire.
Seeing that everyone in the tent understood their feelings, Han Lei nodded softly and said, "Please keep it confidential. Before we leave, I don't want outsiders to know the news that we are about to leave."
Hearing Han Lei's warning, everyone in the tent nodded and said yes.
Early the next morning, 20,000 prisoners were organized by Han Lei, and divided into four sequences, holding round shields and a three-meter spear, slowly advancing under the city wall of Zhaojiabao.
When the five thousand prisoners as vanguards entered within a hundred meters of Zhaojiabao, sharp arrows fell from the sky, constantly hitting the round shields, and constantly shooting the prisoners one by one, and the difficult siege began.
Under the care of the 30,000 elite troops, the 20,000 prisoners with weapons launched fierce attacks on Zhaojiabao with desperate attempts. The defenders of Zhaojiabao relied on the solid city wall defense system of Zhaojiabao to continuously shoot out sharp arrows, constantly throwing down thick squash woods, constantly falling down buckets of gasoline, and repelling the attacks of 20,000 prisoners again and again.
Whenever more than a hundred prisoners climb the city wall of Zhaojia Fort, the defense system of the plane city will be turned on and a magic attack will be released to kill all the prisoners climbing the city wall to protect the safety of the soldiers guarding the city of Zhaojia Fort.
Under the combined effect of Zhaojiabao's solid city wall defense system, as well as the defense system and attack system of the plane city, 20,000 prisoners who siege the city died heavily, and 10,000 remained under the city wall forever, while Zhaojiabao's defenders died only dozens of people and more than one hundred were injured.
Faced with the huge difference in casualties between the two sides, Han Lei's face remained unchanged. The moment he ordered the prisoners to attack the city, this casualties ratio was as expected. He had carefully studied the defense system of Zhaojiabao and was very perfect. It was extremely difficult to attack it. In addition, Zhaojiabao has rich strategic reserves and abundant weapons and food. It would be strange if 20,000 prisoners can be captured!
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhaojia Fort has a magic defense and magic attack system, which makes him dare not invest too much military force at once. Otherwise, once the opponent's magic attack system is opened, all the soldiers siegeing the city will die tragically under magic attack. Lu Fei and his 30,000 elite troops are a living example.
Therefore, his plan is very good. He launched a large-scale attack today and acted as if he was swearing to avenge Lu Fei to death, so that he could ask Lu Rong for a large amount of food and grass weapons.
From the second day, he sent thousands of troops every day to attack Zhaojiabao, constantly consuming Zhaojiabao's arrow reserves, constantly consuming the magic crystal core reserves in Zhaojiabao, and at the same time eliminated a group of prisoners and trained a group of siege soldiers who were not afraid of death.
On a clearing land in the northwest corner of Zhaojiabao, thousands of strong men, under the command of dozens of architects, placed the building materials one by one in a corner according to certain rules. Hundreds of skilled construction workers picked up the building materials one by one, and according to the drawings given by the architect, they placed the processed building materials one by one in a fixed position. Then, dozens of earth-type warlocks used permanent solidification skills to enhance the defense ability of the building.
Looking at the building that was rising little by little, Zhao Zhong, not far away, said to Zhao Yi with a puzzled look: "Do you know why the young master mobilized a large amount of manpower, material resources and financial resources to build a building that we can't understand?"
After looking at Zhao Zhong with a puzzled look, Zhao Yi shrugged helplessly and said, "I don't know either. However, I think this building should be very useful to the young master, otherwise, the young master would not use so much manpower to build a useless building at this time. Therefore, when the building is built, we will know its purpose."
Zhao Zhong nodded gently and said, "Well, when this building is built, we will know its purpose. Now let's put aside this building, tell me your opinion on the current situation! Do you think we still have a chance to regain the land that belongs to our Zhaojiabao?"
Seeing the worry on Zhao Zhong's face and feeling the despair that was unintentionally exuding from his body, Zhao Yi was shocked. If Zhao Zhong had no confidence in Zhaojiabao or the young master, wouldn't the others in Zhaojiabao be even less confident? If this despair atmosphere spreads randomly in Zhaojiabao, wouldn't Zhaojiabao fall into a state of destruction?
When the atmosphere of despair enveloped the entire Zhaojia Castle, the Flying Tiger Gang army did not need to attack the castle, and the people in the castle became in chaos. They automatically opened the gate of the castle to welcome the Flying Tiger Gang army into the castle.
At this time, you must not let the atmosphere of despair spread in the castle. You must tell the young master about this situation and let him find a way to solve this problem. Otherwise, let it spread and Zhaojia Castle will fall into a dangerous situation.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yi immediately said to Zhao Zhong with a serious look on his face: "Although we are at a disadvantage now and are trapped in Zhaojia Fort, our Zhaojia Fort has sufficient food and supplies reserves and hundreds of thousands of residents. As long as we stick to the castle and train soldiers, when the time is ripe, we can break out and call on residents in the territory to form hundreds of thousands of troops to launch a counterattack on the Feihu Gang.
Also, Uncle Zhong, as the manager of our Zhaojiabao, one of the core power of Zhaojiabao, even if you are not optimistic about the future of Zhaojiabao and the young master, you must not show it on your face.
No matter when, you must maintain absolute calmness and absolute confidence, and your face reveals unlimited expectations and confidence for a bright future for Zhaojiabao. As long as this is the case, the residents in the castle will not be confused. Otherwise, you, the senior executives of Zhaojiabao, have no confidence in the future of Zhaojiabao. Then, aren’t the residents in the castle even less confident?” Mobile phone users, please visit http://m.piaotian.net
