Chapter 220: A big game of chess played by the sect master

Xia Yu stood on the city wall, looking at the endless huge military camp below, and felt uneasy in his heart.

Although the power of modern weapons is definitely not worth the enemy's head, he always feels that there is a dark cloud hanging over the city, what is the sect leader's plan? Just rely on the large number of people to pile up heads? He had already seen the power of modern weapons, so why did he do it? No, he must have a backhand, what the hell could it be.

Just as he was thinking, there was movement in the barracks below.

Hordes of 'soldiers' came out of the barracks.

Xia Yu picked up the binoculars and observed, it was obviously not a soldier, but some civilians, and what they were holding in their hands was not a sword, but a shovel, and they directly began to dig a trench outside the camp.

What do you mean? Are the Imperial forces trying to trap the city? Xia Yu was a little stunned, the problem is that as long as the expeditionary force persists for another half a month, it will win.

The dragoon next to him asked, "Do you want to shoot two shots?" ”

Xia Yu shook his head, "There's no need, it's just cannon fodder, no matter how many people are killed, they won't feel distressed, the shells are precious, it's better to save them for the critical moment to use them." ”

Xia Yu said and continued to observe, he was still a little worried at first, but soon put his mind at ease, these people use the most primitive tools, they can dig out a meter in half a day, if they want to dig a ditch and dig under the city wall, it will not be the year of the monkey.

I watched these people dig until night, and they only dug a few dozen meters.

The next day the enemy continued to dig the ditch, and they seemed to have made up their minds to dig the ditch all the way under the wall, and not in one place, nor in one face, but all along the line, and the whole city of Calle seemed to be surrounded by a ditch.

It was found that there was no reaction from the city wall, and there were even some brave people who rushed directly to a few hundred meters away from the city wall and began to dig.

This can't be endured, but it's a waste of bullets to shoot with machine guns like this, so Xia Yu put the snipers in place, killed dozens of them in a burst, and scattered the rest.

In the evening, Xia Yu bumped into the others and found that the same situation had happened in several other city walls.

Ergouzi: "Conspiracy, there is definitely a conspiracy!" I think they want to limit the mobility of our tanks, compress our strategic space, and when the time comes, there will be ditches everywhere, and the cars will not be able to drive, or should we send the tank troops out to do a job? ”

Xia Yu felt that things were not so simple, but at the moment it seemed to be the best choice.

"Okay, then go around the city, shoot as you move, don't get blocked."

"Don't worry!"

On the third day, when the enemy had sent out another trench, the gates of the city of Calais were slammed open, and ten chariots rushed out and rushed directly into the enemy's camp.

The civilians who were digging the ditch immediately scattered in all directions, the chariot drove the peasants like ducks, and the machine guns on the roof of the car strafed the corpses all over the field, but the trenches played a role at this time, and the laborers jumped into the ditch one after another, and really dodged most of the bullets.

The chariots drove around the city, strafing as they went, and the people jumped into the ditches as they passed, which was quite relieving, but after a circle, not many people were killed, most of them were civilians, and a lot of bullets and gasoline were wasted.

Back in Kale City, the second dog was also speechless, "I'll rub it, this sect leader is really interesting." ”

Feihu said: "But I still don't understand, they are so far away from the city wall, if they dig under the city, we will win a long time ago." ”

Xuanniao frowned, "Maybe this is exactly what he thinks, inducing us to make mistakes, we just need to respond to all changes with the same." ”

Xia Yu sighed, it seems that this is the only way to do it at present, but I always feel that something is wrong, do you really want to sit still?

He told the soldiers on the city walls to keep an eye on the progress of the trench and to react immediately if it exceeded expectations.

The next seven days were very calm, the enemy kept digging trenches, and the city was attacked from time to time, but a small number of chariots were not enough to penetrate the enemy's camp, and they did not dare to concentrate their infantry, and occasionally fired a few cannons, killing hundreds of civilians, but for the huge strength of the enemy, it did not mean anything at all.

Xia Yu also thought about carrying out an arson attack, but unfortunately there were no incendiary bombs, ordinary arson methods could not burn at all, the enemy had nothing else, but the manpower was sufficient, and there were also a large number of people keeping vigil at night, and the slightest fire was immediately extinguished.

Then the city began to attack at night, creating panic, but it seemed that the dark goddess really gave his followers protection, and the camp in the darkness remained quiet no matter how many shells were received.

This situation lasted for ten days, and within ten days, the imperial army had only dug less than a thousand meters, and it was still only a little more than a thousand meters away from the city wall.

And at this rate, the Holy Spirit Core will be opened in five days, and Xia Yu is somewhat glad in his heart, it seems that the Imperial Army is really out of recruits.

By the eleventh day, the enemy seemed to have finally realized that this was not the way to go, and the army began to move.

Dense siege vehicles, ladders, and building carts began to move towards the city walls, and thousands of soldiers came out of the barracks, this time it was not civilians, most of them were regular troops, and it seemed that they were planning to have the most typical siege battle.

Xia Yu didn't go up to the city wall, and it was enough for the dragon and tiger group to be in charge of defending the city, so he decided to sit in the temple with peace of mind.

Boom Boom!

Dadada!

The sound of explosions and machine gun fire continued to come from a distance, Xia Yu observed the battle situation through the drone, the enemy's morale was as bad as ever, whenever the troops were set on fire, the casualties would collapse immediately, and those siege equipment were destroyed before they could move under the city walls.

Occasionally pushed to the city wall,. As soon as they were combined, they were subjected to machine-gun fire, and the assembled troops were unable to storm the city walls.

At the end of the day, nothing was achieved except for the thousands of corpses left behind.

"Haha, the sect leader's stupid is completely out of tricks." At the party in the evening, Ergouzi said excitedly.

Xia Yu was also a little speechless, this is all for so long a day?

"By the way, do we have enough ammunition?"

Dragoon said: "Don't worry, I've checked it, it's definitely enough." ”

The second day continued like this, and on the third day the same, and on the fourth day, when the expeditionary force was about to finish its mission, the enemy seemed to be in a real hurry, and poured out of his nest, and launched the most ferocious offensive, and the dense mass of soldiers swarmed from the walls all the way to the camp, arranged in scattered formations, as if intending to storm for the whole day.

The Warlords even lined up at the back of the army, relying on the large number of people, and even pressed the line directly under the city wall, ignoring the suppression of firepower.

In this way, the pressure is doubled, after all, the enemy is an army of more than 100,000 people, and there are only 4,000 people on the city wall, most of them are still the 'Bright Legion', throwing stones and shooting arrows or something.

"No, we can't stand it here."

"Dongcheng needs help!"

"We need fire support, coordinates 86.34!"

Xia Yu looked at the fierce battle on the city wall and regretted a little,

Sure enough, it was a mistake to enter the city, the area that needed to be defended was too large, the more than 300 infantry of the expeditionary force were scattered on the city wall, and the machine guns were too three, and the enemy was a little unable to suppress it, and now it was all relying on heavy artillery fixed-point support to save the battle.

But fortunately, it looks like it can hold on, as long as it survives today, it will win.

He still has a thousand Legions of Light, more than two hundred Templar Knights, a hundred Expeditionary Force soldiers, and chariot troops, so it should be fine.

Seeing that several city walls were in some danger, he had to send some reinforcements, one hundred here, two hundred on which side, the number of troops was really scarce, so he had to use the soldiers of the expeditionary force and the soldiers of the Legion of Light together, and in the blink of an eye, most of the reserves in his hands were dispatched, and the situation was finally stabilized.

Just when Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the crisis had passed, he saw a group of soldiers of the Bright Legion sent to increase the city wall running over in a panic, "Oh no, the city is broken!" ”

"What? How can it be! Xia Yu was taken aback, and hurriedly picked up the communicator, "Which side of your city is broken?" ”

"Dongcheng is still fighting fiercely, and it can still be stopped."

"Xicheng is fine."

"Beicheng needs to increase its staff, and if you don't come again, it will really break."

"Nancheng can withstand it, but it's better to have a few more shots."

It was not breached, Xia Yu was in a trance, and a technician from the air team suddenly rushed out, "It's the old city, and a large number of enemies suddenly appeared there!" ”

Xia Yu hurriedly asked for the screen of the drone, and saw dense black-clothed soldiers swarming out of the ruins of the old city as if they had stabbed a hornet's nest.

They quickly dispersed, some launching a back-attack on the walls, some began to attack the convoys carrying ammunition to the walls, and some rushed directly towards the temple.

Looking at the endless and infinite dispatch of troops, Xia Yu felt a chill in his heart, is this climbing the science and technology tree and climbing out of the pit worm? How so!

Wait a minute, pit bugs? Xia Yu looked at the black pressure of the enemy army that was constantly pouring out, and at this moment, all the doubts and uneasiness that had come these days were all figured out at once.

From the very beginning, the sect leader set up a super big game, and I still remember his confidence when he said that as long as he joined the Imperial Army, he would win, but now it seems that it is by no means bragging.

Manuk's huge battle of Kale, the heavy casualties, was just a trick of the sect leader, in order to make the expeditionary force think that the imperial army had been defeated, so that the expeditionary force would enter the city and open the core of the Holy Spirit.

Only by entering the city can the firepower advantage and range advantage of the expeditionary force be limited, so that he can have the possibility of winning in chaos.

From the very beginning, the sect leader sent four partial divisions, it can be seen that he had long known that the battle would fail, and those four partial divisions were in order to prepare for the second battle of Kalai, they recruited civilians as cannon fodder and expanded the number, only by consuming firepower by quantity, it was possible to win, it can be seen that for the battle in front of him, he had already premeditated.

Mad Shao's death is mostly in his expectation, after all, inexplicable loss will always feel too fake, easy to make people suspicious, always give people a feeling that my hole cards are exhausted, and Mad Shao is the fake hole card, so that players think this is his big move to turn the tables, in fact, Mad Shao is just a discarded son who hides people's ears.

The real lore was the first 2,000 people who were sent out, and those people never found their traces, and now it seems that most of them were hiding in the ruins of the city, and their task was to dig tunnels.

And the previous ten days when they dug a ditch was also the drunkard's intention not to drink, not to trap the city at all, but to cover the excavation tunnel, they must have opened up the passage from Kale City to the outside of the city through two-way excavation.

In the last three days, they launched a fierce attack, which was the final show, attracting most of the troops to the city wall, and when the city was particularly empty, they launched an ambush in one fell swoop.

If all this is the sect leader's plan, then I have to say, this person is really a bit scary.
