In The Whole World, I Have 50% More Rewards

After the three of them came back from washing, they put on their armor neatly, carried their weapons on their backs, and set off for the place to eat.

After a while, the six of them arrived at the place to eat, and found that the atmosphere of the people queuing up for dinner today was a little strange.

Everyone didn't have the atmosphere of heated discussions like yesterday, and many people's faces were very heavy.

As a result, those who want to liven up the atmosphere dare not speak too much, and even if they want to say something to their companions, they have to speak softly.

This dull atmosphere has always affected everyone who came to eat later.

"Captain, go find out the news, what's the matter?" Seeing this situation, Zhao Gao and the others were very puzzled.

Wang Ergou: "Wait, I'll go check it out right away."

After finishing speaking, Wang Ergou left the team, turned around and disappeared without a trace.

Not long after, when Zhao Gao and the others had just finished cooking, Wang Ergou came back with a heavy face.

"Let's talk to the side first!" As soon as they came, Wang Ergou led the five of them to the corner.

A few people squatted in a corner, forming a circle, listening to the news that Wang Ergou inquired while eating.

"After we went down the city wall last night, we went back to rest, so we don't know much."

"Every day today, the civilian husband helped to restrain the corpses of the compatriots. The reason why the atmosphere became so heavy after everyone knew about the casualties."

Zhao Gao: "Are there many casualties?"

"It's very big." Wang Ergou nodded solemnly.

"This time defending the city, although we have the advantages of the city wall and terrain, our side still suffered heavy casualties."

"Not to mention the auxiliary soldiers and civilians who controlled the catapults and siege crossbows, more than 2,000 of us soldiers from the original Black Rock City died, and about 1,000 were seriously injured and could no longer fight."

"On these alone, we lost almost 4,000 troops."

"And you, a group of recruits who have just entered the battlefield, have already started to die in large numbers when they started fighting due to mental problems."

"According to the information I heard, the battles in the first half of the night and the second half of the night were mixed with your new recruits. The general and the others used the elites of Black Rock City as the third batch of defense to protect you."

"Because of this, among your group of recruits, the number of deaths and serious injuries is close to 3,000, and the number of those who are seriously injured and unable to fight is about 1,000."

"Besides, I heard from others that today, Qianhu has dealt with hundreds of recruits who escaped."

After hearing these news, Zhao Gao's heart was also heavy. The number of casualties is really too big.

Less than 5,000 of their Blue Stars are still alive. If this continues in the future, then the talent space is really too difficult.

However, Zhao Gao changed his mind, and there shouldn't be so many people killed later.

First of all, the first point: they have all been on a real battlefield once, they already have experience, and they will not make mistakes the first time.

Then there is the second point, which is the most important point.

In the first battle, everyone's strength was not too high. If the enemy delays the attack, they will grow stronger with each passing day.

This is a blessing in misfortune!

It depends on how long it will be before the next enemy attack.

"Then... how about the enemy's casualties? Have you roughly estimated them?" Since the casualties on their side were so heavy, Zhao Gao never believed that the enemy would be better off.

"Hey! The enemy is of course worse than us. We have a geographical advantage and are defending the city. This time we just killed more than 40,000 enemies, and there are countless missing limbs and legs."

"I heard that the enemy's prisoner-of-war camp was completely wiped out, and the first troops suffered heavy losses. The next time they attack the city, their main force will have to go into battle in person."

After hearing what Wang Ergou said,

Zhao Gao and the others nodded to show that they understood. As for what each person can think of, it depends on each person's wisdom.

In Zhao Gao's mind, he could only think of this news: good and bad.

On the plus side: at least there aren't that many enemies anymore.

The bad aspect is also obvious. The next time the enemy attacks the city, it will definitely be crazy, and its strength will be stronger than the previous ones.

Moreover, in ancient times, to attack such a pass, one had to attack by force or use tricks. Or both.

Given the current situation in Black Rock City, a storm would require too many troops, and the troops would suffer heavy losses. If the enemy generals were not out of their minds, they would not use such a reckless method.

But as the chief general of an army, can his head be broken?

But use a plan: it is impossible to cut off the grain road, and there is no way to flood it. There is no big river here, and the terrain of Black Rock City is too high, so it is not advisable.

Huo Gong was even more helpless, with just that few catapults and rockets, it was impossible to cross the city wall at all.

Digging a tunnel is also impossible. With the ancient technology, there is a big mountain under the Black Rock City, and the enemy can't dig a tunnel secretly.

Excluding other possibilities, what Zhao Gao can imagine is to rely on the roles of secret agents or bribed moles.

Come to poison Zhao Gao and the others, or when they are busy defending the city wall, use the traitor as the leader to attack the city gate.

These were the only worries Zhao Gao had.

With his own wisdom, he can only think of so much for the time being.

"It seems that we can't fight alone, we have to contact such a smart person to prevent all this from happening." Zhao Gao secretly decided in his heart.

However, when Zhao Gao thought about it for a while, it was impossible for others not to discover the problems he could discover.

Maybe now, someone has already started to unite everyone, but they haven't been contacted yet.

After that, he had to inquire and pay a little attention to the news in this regard.

...

After everyone had dinner, they began to organize their weapons under the city wall, ready to start changing defenses.

Not long after Zhao Gao and the others waited, the bannermen on the city wall waved their banners at the people waiting to change their defenses under the city wall.

"Go!" As soon as Wang Ergou saw the semaphore, he took the lead and walked towards the city wall.

Everyone hurriedly followed Wang Ergou's footsteps.

As soon as he stepped onto the city wall, Zhao Gao looked in the direction of the enemy.

Then I saw that the enemy ten miles away was continuing to assemble siege equipment in full swing.

Moreover, Zhao Gao also found that the ones they assembled, looking at the frame, were somewhat larger than the catapults used earlier.

Seeing all this, Zhao Gao's heart sank again, this is the rhythm that must be defeated in the next siege!

When they reached crenel 876, Zhao Gao and the others officially took over the defense.

"Beng~" As soon as he took over the defense, Wang Gang stuck the big shield in the crenel.

"You can do whatever you want, no matter what happens, the defense will be handed over to me."

"Hey! Of course, with the big shield of Brother Wang Gang, we can rest assured." Li Goudan responded to Wang Gang's words, and Zhao Gao and others behind him also nodded.
