Chapter 740: Grabbing Merit

"On the orders of the lord, I ordered you to immediately lay down your arms and open the city gate to surrender within a stick of incense, and those who do not surrender within the time limit will be killed!"

Liu Meng threw down a sentence murderously, and then stood in place with a long knife, his eyes slightly closed, waiting quietly. One of the guards next to him immediately lit a stick of incense, and his attitude was obvious.

In the face of such an arrogant posture, Beiguo City trembled up and down, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out! Looking at the curling green smoke, I feel that every second of delay is approaching a second of catastrophe.

A general of Beiguo City quietly looked up at the hundreds of high-ranking generals in the sky who were soaring in the state of heavenly horses, glanced at the outside of the city again, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "Or...... Let's go down! ”

Hearing this general's proposal, some people were happy, some people glared angrily, and more people were silent.

Captain Beiguo Cheng is one of those who are silent!

At this time, the captain of Beiguo greatly regretted why he did not lead the army with the city lord of Beiguo City to clear out the "strange thieves" in Beixiang City, otherwise he would not have to face such a difficult choice.

The time of a stick of incense is very short, and in a blink of an eye, more than half of the incense is burned, Liu Meng opened his eyes and glanced at the remaining incense candles, glanced at the defenders of Beiguo City expressionlessly, and continued to sleep!

The military general who proposed it first swallowed his spit and stammered, "Proofreading...... Captain, there is less than half a column of incense left! ”

The captain took a deep breath and stepped forward: "Honorable envoy, if your army can ensure the safety of the fathers and elders in Beiguo City, I would like to surrender!" ”

Liu Meng opened his eyes and said lightly: "Can't guarantee it!" You have no right to make any conditions with me, surrender immediately and unconditionally, or be completely crushed by our army after a third of the incense sticks! ”

When the captain heard this, his expression suddenly froze, and he stayed for a few seconds, his face quickly turned red, but no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't raise a trace of the spirit of breaking the net.

After a while, as if he had given up on himself, the captain arched his hand: "Honorable envoy, Beiguo City is willing to surrender!" ”

Hearing the words of wishing to surrender, Liu Meng opened his eyes again and said lightly: "Open the city gate and welcome the army into the city." All the defenders of Beiguo City immediately laid down their weapons and stood against the wall to wait for our troops to deal with it. Those who dare to resist will be killed! Summoned to the lord, our army successfully took Beiguo City. ”

The second half of the sentence is for the guards.

Beiguo City is the intermediate city between Lequan City and Beixiang City that Xi Zhicai said, because considering that it will be necessary to rely on this city to resist the attack of Lequan City reinforcements in the future, Shang Ji does not want to destroy the city wall of Beiguo City.

If you don't want to destroy the city wall and want to take the city, the best way is of course to force Beiguo City to surrender without fighting.

It is not difficult to do this, there were originally 50,000 defenders in Beiguo City, of which 20,000 were transferred out to participate in the coalition army that exterminated Beixiang City, and the total strength in the city was only 30,000!

In the face of the 700,000 army in Pingzhou, if Beiguo City can achieve the destruction of jade, this will be evil!

In order to enhance the deterrent effect, Shang Ji deliberately drew out hundreds of generals with mounts above the rank of famous knight, and at the same time launched the second form, hovering above Beiguo City in the form of a heavenly horse, creating pressure on Beiguo City.

Shang Ji was not surprised when he received the news that Beiguo City had surrendered the city, and immediately ordered Lu Kuang to lead 100,000 foot soldiers to enter Beiguo City according to the predetermined plan, and at the same time ordered Liu Meng to lead 10,000 elite greedy wolf cavalry to temporarily garrison Beiguo City, and once there were signs of sending troops to support Lequan City, he immediately led 10,000 greedy wolf cavalry out of the city to harass the enemy army.

Shang Ji himself led the remaining army to Beixiang City with all his might.

Although Zhao Yun tried his best to contain it, the Death Alliance still completed the siege of Beixiang City, and Zhao Yun would really be dangerous if it continued like this.

In Beixiang City, a fierce battle has just ended.

Zhao Yun clearly knew that blindly defending would inevitably be a dead end, and took the initiative to lead a small number of elite cavalry out of the city to meet the battle under the premise that the army surrounded Beixiang City, so as to buy time for the main force of the Pingzhou Army.

This is just the most ordinary defensive counterattack in recent days, and there is nothing to praise in terms of scale or results. However, there is one point, in this big war, the army of pure players made its debut.

Even if the battle players participating in the national war are miserable, there is no problem in getting a war horse.

In a few days, Beiguo City gathered seventy or eighty thousand players, including twenty or thirty thousand battle players. The retinue brought by these battle players also adds up to more than 100,000.

Seriously, the total number of troops stationed in Beiguo City is more than 200,000, but the real combat effectiveness is only 40,000 silver dragon iron horsemen and 10,000 bloodthirsty tigers.

The combat effectiveness of the player's retinue is not weak, and many of them even surpass the elite Pingzhou army. However, these retinues are more akin to the Ranger who is good at fighting alone, and are of limited use on large-scale battlefields.

If time and effort are spent on reorganization, the possibility of developing an elite army is still very high. It's just that these followers belong to tens of thousands of players, and the difficulty of wanting to unify and reorganize can be imagined, not to mention Shang Ji, even Yan Huang Blade has to scratch his head when he comes.

In desperation, Zhao Yun could only recruit some combat players and reorganize them slightly to assist the Silver Dragon Iron Cavalry in combat. And with Zhao Yun's appeal among players, it is not difficult to complete this task.

Soon after, 3,000 all-player cavalry units were formed, and they appeared in a recent defensive counterattack.

The initial battle had a good effect, and Zhao Yun personally led the silver dragon iron cavalry to charge in front and tore through the enemy's defense line. Then the player legion took advantage of the situation and slaughtered it. Although hundreds of players were beaten to death by the reacting Death Coalition for not following orders and failing to retreat in time, the battle was generally a success.

Zhao Yun's repeated provocations also aroused the anger of the enemy, and then the 1.5 million troops divided into four routes, the water in the siege of Beixiang City was impassable, and attacked in four directions, seeing that the posture was about to level Beixiang City in one go.

In the face of the overwhelming attack of the enemy, Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief, he had been informed by Shang Ji that the main army was secretly arranging an encirclement network against the Death Alliance, and he was only one last blow away from victory!

"My lord, the arrangement of the army has been completed. The four main cavalry of the greedy wolf cavalry, the scorching sun cavalry, the Yanhu cavalry, and the black-armored Xuan cavalry have been arranged in place according to the orders of the lord, and the infantry soldiers such as the heavy armored sharp spear, the phantom pawn of a hundred battles, the powerful pawn of the sun, and the strong bow of the star have also been assembled. Shurawei and Feng Wuwei have also been deployed as strategic reserves. ”

"Good! Summoning Zilong, Beixiang City can choose the opportunity to 'fall'! ”

In the city of Beixiang, Zhao Yun immediately gave an order to the army after receiving the order from Shang Ji, showing that the enemy was weak, abandoning the city wall in the next round of enemy attack, and letting the enemy army enter the city.

Soon, this plan was perfectly implemented, and with a burst of cheers from the enemy troops outside the city, the eastern city wall of Beixiang City officially changed hands, and Zhao Yun led the army to retreat to the inner city.

Outside the East City Gate, in a luxurious tent fifty miles away from the battlefield, six city lords of large cities were listening to the good news from the front line.

"Hahaha, Li Tong is worthy of being the fierce general of my Anping City, and he took down the long-lasting city wall as soon as he made a move!"

It was the Anping City army that took the city wall, and Li Jing, as the city lord of Anping City, made a big face, and there was no need to express his pleasure.

Although the city lords of several other big cities congratulated them, they were very unhappy in their hearts.

The relationship between the lords of the cities in the Dead Continent is quite complex, somewhat similar to the Greek city-states of the classical period. Each city is an independent kingdom, led by a large city, supplemented by a varying number of small and medium-sized cities to form a faction. And the city lord within each faction has a very high degree of independence, in short, the relationship is called a mistake in the complicated!

If it weren't for the sudden mass arrival of the players, which seriously threatened their safety, it would have been almost impossible to form a coalition with their relationship.

"The fierce generals under the command of the city lord Li are like clouds, the first contribution to the pacification of Beixiang City and the extermination of the thieves should belong to the city lord Li, and the city lord first congratulated the city lord Li!"

A middle-level city lord who was originally from Li Jing's faction spoke, his face full of smirk.

"Hmph, the enemy army has not been wiped out yet, so it's too early to talk about the first merit at this time! Besides, it's just the walls of a medium-level city, what is there to brag about! ”

The other big city lord couldn't look at it, and said sarcastically in a cold voice.

"Huang Dai, what do you mean??"

Li Jing immediately stood up and pointed at the city lord who spoke out and shouted angrily.

The dispute between the two is not just a battle of will, according to the joint military dispatch agreement, the lord of the city who occupies the first credit has the right to deal with Beixiang Castle after the war. A medium-level city, even the lord of the big city is greedy, and no one is willing to give up.

"What do I mean? You don't look at your ............ either."

"Okay, okay, both of you don't say a word. At the moment of the great enemy, we still need to cooperate sincerely, these thieves have a good strength and strange origins, we can't make any trouble inside us at this juncture! ”

Seeing that the two of them had a tendency to get angry, another older city lord hurriedly got up and became a peacemaker.

"Yes, yes, what Zhang Lao said is very true, there are still hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in the city, and it is not too late to talk about who is the first to do it when the enemy army is destroyed!"

The other city lords also chimed in and settled the dispute.

"The lord of this city proposes that whoever takes the lead in attacking the city lord's mansion of Beixiang City will take the lead. What do you think? ”

"City Lord Zhao's idea is good, whoever first attacks the City Lord's Mansion will take the first credit, fair and just, I approve of it!"

"I'm for it too!"

"Seconded!"

……………………

Li Jing wanted to refute, but saw that almost all of the more than ten city lords in the city agreed. couldn't help frowning, he knew that his performance was too conspicuous and was targeted, so in order not to offend the public, he could only nod and say: "Okay, my Anping City can take the lead in capturing the city wall, and the City Lord's Mansion must be my Anping City first!" ”

After speaking, in front of everyone present, Li Jing said to the deputy general behind him: "Order Li Tong, attack with all your might, and be the first to attack the City Lord's Mansion!" ”

"Humph!" The city lord named Huang Dai snorted coldly, beckoned: "Pass the order, let Huang Ling immediately attack, and attack in the direction of the city lord's mansion with all his might, this will not require the first to attack the city lord's mansion, but the city lord's army must attack the city lord's mansion before Anping City!" ”

After speaking, Huang Dai also glanced at Li Jing defiantly.
