Eight hundred and fifty seventh chapter wolf soldiers siege
On May 7, 7742, the empire calendar, snow fell in the north.
...
There was heavy snow falling over the cold Muyu City. Although it was very common to snow in Muyu City, it was already May and it was snowing. It was no longer ordinary. The city was noisy, and the sound of horse hooves, quarrels, orders and the cry of civilians. News of the four major barriers in the northern part of Yunzhong Province came one after another. The people in the city had heard about the massacre of the city in Lingkong Province before. The legend of the barbarians attacking and slaughtering them in the east made many people cry every night. Now it was too late to escape. Muyu City, known as one of the seven famous cities of the empire, did not look like a prosperous city, but a grave.
On the city wall, snow fell, and snowflakes fell messily on the shoulder armor.
Luo Xin dusted the snow on his shoulders, pressed his sword in his hand, looked at the people in the city who were blocked on the main street and were uneasy and frowned.
"The people are already in chaos." Su Changyan, deputy commander of the Iron Blade Army, said on the side.
"Yes, it's all messed up."
Luo Xin said lightly: "Deputy Commander Su, you should immediately bring people to appease the people and tell them that the 200,000 Iron Blade Army will survive and die with Muyu City, and the three Your Highnesses will soon send reinforcements, and the Yunzhong Province will not lose them."
"Yes, I'll do it now."
Su Changyan rushed down the city wall quickly. Luo Xin couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his back. Su Changyan was the distant nephew of his adoptive father Su Muyun, and one of the only few Su generals left. He really hoped to overcome this difficulty. Otherwise, the Su family in Yunzhong Province might become history, and he was one of the cornerstones of this history.
Outside the city, the sound of horse hooves came, and a light cavalry stopped quickly, grabbed the rope on the edge of the city wall and climbed up like a monkey, and knelt respectfully on one knee and said, "See Mr. Xin."
"No need to be polite, is there any news?"
"Here." The cavalry whispered: "They have arrived fifty miles away, at least 100,000 people, and there are fifty dragon knights. The teams behind them are endless, and it is impossible to calculate clearly. In addition, their subordinates have also seen another army of aliens."
"Whose army?"
"Bei Desert Wolf Soldier."
"What." Luo Xin's body trembled slightly: "You mean the wolf soldiers from Beimo are with the people from Tianji Empire."
"Yes." The cavalry frowned and said, "The Longji Army disappeared after destroying the demon clan in the northern polar region for nearly half a month. The subordinates guessed that they must have been waiting for reinforcements in the past half month while destroying Beimo. Now it seems that Beimo has surrendered to the Tianji Empire, otherwise the wolf soldiers would not obey the Tianji Empire's orders."
"A bunch of fence-bearing plants."
Luo Xin punched the stool with a heavy punch, causing gravels to splash, and said in anger: "Damn Beimo, we send them so many gold and silver gifts, cloud brocade and satin every year. They actually surrendered to the Tianji Empire so easily. It's really damn. If I had known this, I would have asked to go to Beimo to uproot them."
As he said that, he paused, calmed down his emotions, and said, "How many wolf soldiers have you seen."
"It's hard to see clearly at a glance, covering the entire wandering plain. If nothing unexpected happens, the number of wolf soldiers is at least 100,000. These beasts burn, kill and robbed along the way. The four states and twenty-three counties in the north have been deeply harmed. Wherever the wolf soldiers pass, there are wounds and countless casualties."
Luo Xin was so angry that she trembled all over. She closed her eyes and said lightly to the sky: "Father, Luo Xin has disappointed you. I can't protect your people. I am too incompetent."
As he said that, Luo Xin flapped his sleeves and turned to look at the group of generals behind him, shouting: "Send the order and prepare for the war, I would rather die than surrender."
"yes."
Everyone knelt on one knee, looked up at Luo Xin, and said in unison: "We swear to serve the country to the death. The city is there, and the city is dead."
...
At dusk, the snow was getting heavier and heavier, falling to the ground like goose feathers, rustling sound. Outside Muyu City, more and more troops gathered in the distance. They were not resisted and did not act like siege. They just set up hundreds of camps outside Muyu City from afar, surrounding the famous city.
That night, it seemed that Longji's regiment did not plan to attack the city.
In the big tent, snow drifted from the entrance of the cave at the top of the tent, and a bonfire in the tent provided warmth for everyone. A roasted cow on the bonfire was almost cooked, and the oil stars were squeaking.
A middle-aged general sat in the position of commander, wearing commander armor. He was Fang Lan, the commander of the Longji Corps. On an equal footing, a seat was arranged. The person sitting there was no one else, but the dragon cavalry general Lin Tongtian.
As the seats went down, there were several deputy commanders of the Longji Corps, commanders of the Wanwu Corps, and then several aliens in leather robes. One of them was the leader of the Beimo tribe, the leader of the Great Wolf Lord Mo-du.
"Strike the city early tomorrow morning."
Fang Lan took the warm wine from the maid and smiled and said, "This Muyu City is an important town of the Qin Empire. It is rich and sturdy. It is known as one of the seven famous cities. The general guarding the city is Luo Xin and Su Muyun's adopted son. Hehe, it is said that he is also a famous general of the Qin Empire. Who will fight in this first formation?"
A group of ten thousand men in the Longji Corps were solemn, and no one said anything.
Fang Lan smiled and said, "Maoduan Big Wolf Lord, you are the patriarch of the Beimo Wolf Clan and an ally of our Tianji Empire. Since we have signed an alliance, it is time for your troops to practice it. Why not... This first formation of attacking Muyu City will be carried out by your 150,000 wolf soldiers, what does Maoduan Big Wolf Lord think?"
Maodun was slightly stunned, and several generals under his command also showed surprise and unwillingness. After a few seconds, Maodun bowed respectfully and said, "Mr. Fang Lan, our wolf soldiers came from afar and were quite unacceptable. Besides, many wolf soldiers had not even had a full meal for many days. It is better for your troops to attack first. We must serve after a little rest."
"Yeah."
Fang Lan smiled faintly and said, "I heard that your tribes in Beimo are grazing in summer and autumn, and robbing in spring and winter. This life must be not easy. Look at the thousands of hectares of fertile land around Muyu City. If you treat it as the fief of your wolf soldiers, farming here, and there are women from Middle Earth to warm up the tent, it is so good."
Maodun gritted his teeth and remained silent.
Fang Lan continued: "Since your Beimo Wolf Clan has decided to serve in the Tianji Empire, why is it so shirked? Maodun Da Wolf Lord? This commander promised that as long as you can capture Muyu City, I will give you this city, and in addition, I will reward you half of the fourteen states in Yunzhong Province. How about it?"
Maodun was shocked at once. Beimo had been coveting Yunzhong Province for thousands of years. What a temptation. But Maodun also knew that the person guarding the city was Luo Xin, a famous general of the empire, and the 200,000 Iron Blade Army under his command was the main force of the imperial army. How could he seize Muyu City from Luo Xin with his 150,000 wolf soldiers?
"Give me a word." Lin Tongtian seemed a little impatient and said, "Don't let our Tianji Empire feel that its allies are waste. They can't do anything, they will only consume food and grass."
Maodun gritted his teeth: "I'll go, my 150,000 wolf soldiers will siege the city with me, but you must provide us with siege equipment. In addition, I have to let my wolf soldiers have a full meal. Even if they are asked to die, I will make them a full ghost."
"Don't worry about this."
Fang Lan smiled: "Come here, I'll order the military commander to slaughter cattle and sheep, and let the wolf soldiers eat tonight. Tonight it will be time for them to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy early tomorrow morning."
“Yes, commander.”
Mao Dun's face turned pale and he didn't say anything more.
...
Late at night, deep in the wolf camp, inside the main tent of the wolf.
Mao Dun didn't say a word, and he looked very old.
Several generals also looked pale, and one of them said, "Master of the Great Wolf, the walls of Muyu City are more than 20 meters high, and the soldiers and food in the city are sufficient, and there are those terrible giant cannons that can spit out murderous fire. We will rashly attack the city like this, so we will send wolf soldiers to die. Humph... The people of Tianji Empire are punished. They are just using wolf soldiers to consume the number of giant cannons in Muyu City. The Tianji Empire just treats us as tools, and never treats us as allies."
Maodun said lightly: "I know, I know, there is no need to say anything more. Start siege tomorrow morning, and let the First and Third Battalions attack the city until noon. If it is unable to capture it for a long time, retreat. If... if the number of people lost more than 50,000 people will be reduced, retreat."
"Then why do we tell Fang Lan?"
"snort."
A cold light flashed through Maodun's eyes and said, "Our wolf clan is a wolf, and Fang Lan just treats us as dogs. Don't worry, Fang Lan only has 150,000 troops in his hands. After they plunder the city, they always have to leave people to defend the city. Our wolf soldiers are the best defenders. If Fang Lan is not stupid, he would not have seen all 150,000 wolf soldiers die."
"Yes, my subordinates understand."
"Go to bed early, tomorrow is the day we will go into battle." He said with a cold face, "One day I will make Fang Lan and Lin Tongtian regret it."
...
The next morning, the snow finally stopped. When the morning light fell on the snow-covered city in Muyu City, the sound of snails in the distance sounded, and dense wolf soldiers pushed the siege equipment to approach the city wall, and the battle was about to begin.
"when."
Luo Xin drew out his sword and shouted in a low voice: "Prepare for the fight."
As the city wall became busy, archers quickly pulled the arrows, while the magic crystal cannon began to calibrate, facing the pre-set attack position under the city, waiting for the opponent to enter the range.
