Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"The enemy is at the gate?!"

Xu Yang's eyes condensed, and before he could say anything, he saw the undercurrents appearing outside, turning into thousands of troops and horses, forming a camp.

It was the Demon Abyss Army, composed of three lords, with nearly 10,000 people, appearing outside the city like a swarm of ants.

There were no more than 10,000 people, but there were countless more than 10,000. The deterrent power of a legion composed of nearly 10,000 soldiers was beyond words.

Zhang Yan and Feng Chengdu changed color, and before they could react, they saw the city gates open and a group of elite cavalry rushed out.

This elite cavalry had only more than 200 people, all dressed in white and riding white horses, but the leading general was heavily armed and his mount was as red as red.

Exactly...

Mulan Heroine Archer Cavalry

Army rank: First level (elite)

Army attributes: 24 stamina, 15 intelligence, 15 charm

Special skills of the army: female archers (Mulan joined the army in place of her father, and women are as brave as men. These extraordinary women who followed Mulan's example and joined the army have both the bravery of men and the dexterity of girls. They are excellent archers, and their range, shooting speed, accuracy, and riding speed are increased by 50%)

Introduction to the army: The female general Hua Mulan's personal archers are composed of countless female heroes who dressed as men and joined the army in place of their fathers.

…

"Go!"

Two hundred elite cavalrymen came out lightly, with an astonishing speed, like a white horse passing by, and they were in front of the battle in a blink of an eye.

Seeing this, the other side also reacted and immediately formed a line, the infantry raised shields to defend against the enemy, and the cavalry came out in full gear.

However, before the line was formed, the elite cavalry had already rushed over, and the leading general drew his bow and arrow, and the personal guards on the left and right also followed suit.

Suddenly...

"Swoosh!!!"

A burst of air-breaking sounds, which suddenly became one, instantly thousands of arrows rained down from the sky, covering the enemy camp.

Heroic skill - Ten thousand arrows fired simultaneously!

With Hua Mulan's current intelligence and charm attributes, as well as the increase in tactics and commander, this skill can allow two hundred archers to shoot tens of thousands of arrows in an instant.

There are only ten thousand people, but there are endless arrows. The same is true for arrows. Tens of thousands of arrows fly, and the rain of arrows formed is like a dark cloud, which covers the enemy camp from top to bottom. Suddenly, wailing broke out, and people and horses fell.

Although the enemy was also prepared, and infantrymen raised shields to form a formation to specifically resist such attacks, the enemy's rain of arrows was too strong and too dense. Even if the infantry was heavily armed and raised shields to resist, they could still break the shields and armor and cause casualties.

There was no other way. With 24 points of physical strength, the second-level strong bow skill and the first-level full-level cavalry archery skill, plus the characteristics of the "Heroic Archer Cavalry", the arrows of Mulan's personal guards were particularly deadly, and even the infantry shield formation could not completely resist them.

The infantry who raised their shields to fight back were like this, not to mention the archers and cavalry in the back. Under the rain of arrows, blood splattered, like flowers blooming, and it was very tragic. In an instant, hundreds of lightly armed and shieldless archer cavalry fell to death.

In addition to the infantry in the front who resisted most of the arrows, this rain of arrows directly caused nearly a thousand casualties to the enemy.

"Damn it!"

"This cavalry speed, this range!"

"It's a special type of archer cavalry!"

"Cavalry counterattack, cavalry counterattack!"

As soon as they entered the territory, they were hit hard. The two lords in the central army looked at their troops with heavy casualties and immediately ordered the cavalry to charge.

However...

"Retreat!"

Hua Mulan's expression remained unchanged. She turned her horse's head and led 200 personal guards and archers back to the city. She had no intention of engaging with the enemy.

She was a female archer, lightly equipped and good at running. It was not easy for her to engage with the enemy, not to mention that the enemy had an army of nearly 10,000 people. Once she got entangled with these 200 light cavalry, she would be destroyed.

So, she rode away. The purpose of establishing her prestige had been achieved. There was no reason to fight in vain.

"Boom!"

Hua Mulan led her army back to the city. The gate weighing tens of thousands of pounds crashed down and directly blocked the exit of the city gate.

"Hmph!"

"You run fast!"

Seeing this, they stopped chasing, reorganized the formation and began to set up the camp.

"It seems that they want to fight a long siege!"

On the city wall, Xu Yang watched the battle and quickly came to a conclusion.

Zhang Yan and the other person in the back also came back to their senses at this time. Looking at Hua Mulan who was riding back below, they looked strange but could not say anything. They could only follow Xu Yang: "Since the enemy has a siege skill like "At the Gate of the City", they must use time to besiege the city to wear down our morale and combat power."

As she spoke, Zhang Yan looked a little sad, and Feng Cheng was also nervous.

"At the Gate of the City", a siege skill, the effect is needless to say. It can not only prohibit the enemy lord from entering and leaving the Tower of Babel, but also suppress the enemy's territory, making the production buildings ineffective, and reducing the enemy's morale over time.

The three special effects are linked together. The ban on the Tower of Babel can cut off the enemy's reinforcements, suppressing the production buildings can consume the enemy's resources, and the impact on morale is not to mention, which is a direct weakening and attack on the enemy's combat power.

With such a siege skill, as long as the enemy is surrounded for a period of time, the strategic goal of "one rises and the other falls" can be achieved, and there is even a chance to cause internal strife in the enemy and take down this territory without bloodshed.

Look, Zhang Yan now feels a little regretful.

She came this time to repay Xu Yang's favor last time and to get some benefits. She never thought that the other party would do this.

The son of a rich man should not sit in the hall. Entering and leaving the Tower of Babel is the last means of survival for the lord. If the other party seals it, it means they are forcing them to fight to the death.

Can they win? The other party is a veteran lord with more than 6,000 and 7,000 reputations. This time, they have formed a coalition army to besiege the city. There are nearly 10,000 civilized troops and many special troops. Their combat power is very terrifying.

In the face of such an invasion, only by defending the city can there be a chance of winning.

Go out of the city to fight in the field?

You will definitely die!

But now the other party is forcing you to go out of the city. If you don't go out, they will drag you to death and exhaust you. In the end, you may not even have the capital to let go.

What should I do?

"Let them surround you!"

Xu Yang smiled and didn't care. He directly handed over the command of the battlefield to Hua Mulan, and he took Zhang Yan and Feng Cheng back to the tavern.

It must be said that as an old lord, the opponent's strategic vision is very vicious. This "troops at the gate" is used just right. Whether it is for the orthodox lords who are mainly in groups or for the single-player lords with outstanding personal martial arts, it can play a good restraining effect, and every point is impeccable.

But they don't know that their opponent is an anomaly like him.

Besiege the city?

You besiege it!

His territory has nothing but a lot of food resources. It is not a problem to eat for several years with this inventory.

As for morale consumption, as long as there is enough food, the morale of the Yellow Turbans can be maintained at a certain stable value. Not to mention extraordinary performance, at least it will not collapse at the touch of a button, and it is more than enough to defend the city.

The Yellow Turbans are like this, not to mention the female guards, who already have a very high basic morale. In addition to the special skill bonus of Hua Mulan, the commander of the personal army, the opponent will besiege for half a year, and it will not affect the performance of the female guards, and can even maintain a round of arrows every day.

Therefore, the siege was not a big threat to him. On the contrary, the longer it dragged on, the more powerful it would be. If it dragged on for more than three months, he could even turn defense into offense and fight back.

Although he didn't know whether the other party planned to siege the city for three months, he couldn't help anyway. Instead of wasting time on the city wall and giving the enemy a chance to behead him, he might as well go back to the tavern to make more pancakes to support the battlefield.

This went on for a month.

On the city wall, Zhang Yan frowned, and Feng Cheng remained silent.

Looking far away, outside the city, a camp had been formed. The camp had wooden walls and towers. The two armies faced each other, and they were all strictly guarding and didn't give the enemy any room.

These three Demon Abyss lords really wanted to waste time to death. They didn't attack once during the siege for a month. They only camped outside the city and built a large number of defensive buildings and siege equipment.

That's right, defensive buildings, as long as you have the corresponding skills or civilization traits, you can build various buildings even in the enemy's territory and even turn the tables.

Now the three Demon Abyss lords have built a "camp" and many towers, besieging the city and forcing them to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

But how can they go out of the city? They are not opponents to begin with, and now the enemy has built a camp, which makes them even more defeated.

But if they don't go out of the city, the batch of siege equipment built by the enemy is clearly a preparation for the final general attack.

"Some powerful siege equipment, such as giant catapults, take a lot of time to build."

"But that's why, once these siege equipment are built, they can pose a great threat to defensive facilities such as city walls and towers, and can even destroy the entire city defense system from a distance."

"The other side is taking the "siege flow" route, and must have siege equipment such as giant catapults. Once they build more than a dozen or twenty of them, they can knock down the city walls and towers from a distance. We, who have no city to defend, will fall into the most desperate situation."

"This is a slow death!"

Zhang Yan looked sharp, worried, but helpless.

Looking around, I saw a group of Yellow Turban teams sitting against the wall on the city wall, enjoying lunch.

"Hmm!"

"This pancake..."

"General Qu actually gave us such food?"

"Long live General Qu, long live the great virtuous teacher, long live the peaceful Huang Tian!"

They surrounded theirs, we ate ours, this is the current situation of the Yellow Turban Army.

The morale didn't drop much, but it didn't improve much either. It seemed like they were just waiting to die.

The Mulan army on the other side was also in a similar situation. Although they would find an opportunity to launch a volley of arrows at the enemy every day, as the enemy prepared and built defense facilities such as camps, the effect of the volley of arrows became worse and worse. After a month, they killed less than 2,000 enemy soldiers.

There was no other way. The enemy didn't attack the city, but just stayed in the camp to consume you. No matter how strong your rain of arrows was, you couldn't shoot through the enemy's camp. It was good enough to have this record.

But if they continue to consume like this...

"It's been a month!"

"Is it almost enough?"

In the Demon Abyss camp, three lords gathered, Augustus, wearing a red robe and golden armor, sat in the middle seat, and on his left and right were "Zhao Wuji" and "Adams" who looked cold and a little exasperated!

In this month, they did not attack and were consumed by the other side unilaterally, with more than 2,000 casualties, most of whom were Zhao Wuji's "Tianlijiao Army" and Adams' "Federal Army", and Augustus' "Roman Legion" suffered the least casualties.

There is no way. Most of Zhao Wuji's Tianlijiao Army and Adams' Federal Army are lightly armed archers with simple equipment and weak defense. They suffered heavy casualties in the face of arrow rain, while Augustus' Roman Legion is a heavy-armed unit that can effectively resist arrows.

Although everyone is in the same boat, Zhao Wuji and Adams are still a little exasperated in the face of such casualties. They all look at Augustus: "Are we too cautious? The opponent is just a rookie lord. Is it worth wasting our time like this?"

Augustus's expression remained unchanged: "Achieving the greatest victory at the lowest cost is the purpose of our trip. Although the opponent is a rookie lord, he must have a strong trump card to rely on to jump up the rankings. If we force it down, we will only lose both sides and lose more than we gain."

"Okay!"

Hearing him say this, the two of them couldn't refute it, so they could only say in a deep voice: "Can we enter the second stage next? The opponent's arrow rain must be contained, otherwise we will also lose more than we gain."

"Yeah!"

Augustus nodded, then got up and went out.

Then I saw...

"The enemy lord "Augustus" used the special skill - reinforcement order!"

"Enemy reinforcements have arrived!"

"The enemy's military strength has reached 15,000 people, and the special skill "Enemy at the Gate" has increased its effect!"

"Your territory is in a "siege" state, lords and heroes are prohibited from entering and leaving the Tower of Babel, all production buildings, recruitment buildings, and training buildings have lost their effects, food resource consumption has doubled, and all arms have reduced morale by 5 to 15 points per day!"

I have just recovered from a serious illness and resumed updating. This is the first update!
