Throne of Vientiane Civilization

A big victory made their internal discussion atmosphere quite good. After the discussion, there was a celebration banquet directly, which made the soldiers in Huangsha City even more excited.

At the same time, in a secret room somewhere in Black Rock City, the circular array carved on the ground of the secret room suddenly lit up. In the light, Yan Sheng, who was still in shock, appeared out of thin air.

His eyes swept around, and after he was sure that he had been teleported back successfully, he was so relieved that he just collapsed on the circular formation.

An army of five thousand men set out in a fierce battle, only to return defeated.

Not only extraordinary creatures appeared on the opposite side, but also a large number of skeleton behemoths, which directly curbed their core siege tactics.

In addition, there is a strong general on the opposite side who can give Xie Liancheng a hard-fought victory.

Every time he thought of this, Yan Sheng's face turned frighteningly ugly.

According to his original plan, he should have led an army of five thousand to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, recapture Huangsha City, and then dismiss the additional soldiers recruited so that they could join in the autumn harvest.

Judging from his performance in the past few years, although Yan Sheng is a real fighting maniac, he still understands the importance of spring plowing and autumn harvest.

But now, his original plan has been shattered into pieces.

Although the main force has not withdrawn yet, Yan Sheng can already foresee that this wave of troops must have lost a lot of strength.

At the same time, Huangsha City may not be captured in a short time, but the question is, does he dare to dismiss the soldiers now and let them go back to start the autumn harvest?

He doesn't dare!

The enemy army now entrenched in Huangsha City has turned into a ferocious beast that is staring at it in Yan Sheng's eyes. The existence of this ferocious beast is enough to make it difficult for him to sleep and eat at this time!

Under such circumstances, how could he dare to dismiss the soldiers? Not only did he not dare to demobilize, he even wanted to go further and recruit troops! Otherwise, how could he recapture Huangsha City, which fell into enemy hands? !

Regarding this issue, Yan Sheng was deeply entangled, and the depressed mood in his heart kept him awake at night.

In comparison, Zhou Xu, who was in Huangsha City, had a good sleep after the celebration banquet.

When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock the next morning.

No doubt he overslept, but no one bothered him.

Because everyone knew in their hearts that after the power of the mantra was consumed a lot, their king would definitely need more rest time.

At present, all the people in Huangsha City have moved to their inner city, and daily military affairs are handled by Shi Lei. Unless there are some special circumstances, there is no need to disturb their king's rest.

After a simple wash, Zhou Xu asked first as always.

"Is there a report coming this morning?"

"Yes, my subordinates have put them all on the desk."

Silk, the captain of the janissaries, answered quickly.

Since he was away on an expedition and it was inconvenient to have an entourage, part of the day-to-day secretary's work was done by Hilke, the captain of the soldiers.

Fortunately, the matter was not complicated. The main task was to help him sort out the documents and arrange the itinerary. Most of the other work was done by Zhou Xu himself, which did not require much effort on Hilke's part.

"Have breakfast delivered directly to the office."

"yes."

There were not many documents delivered in the morning, so Zhou Xu read through them while eating breakfast.

The content of these documents is mainly the detailed report and summary of yesterday's war.

For Zhou Xu, who had already listened to the whole discussion at the internal review meeting yesterday, he basically knew what was going on, and he could review it very quickly.

However, there was one problem that caught Zhou Xu's attention.

That is whether to bury the giant skeleton beast back outside the city.

This move itself is not just as simple as catching the opponent off guard.

When the enemy forces launch an siege, the process of the giant skeleton beast breaking out of the ground can directly disrupt or even contain the opponent's attacking troops, destroy the opponent's formation, and divide the battlefield.

In addition, since it was buried outside the city in advance, the step of opening the city gate was omitted.

You know, the very act of opening the city gate will arouse the enemy's high vigilance.

Before making this decision, Zhou Xu seemed to have thought of something and planned to go over and confirm it in person.

Those giant beast skeletons have now temporarily moved to the open space in Huangsha City.

The skeletons of the armored dragon are nothing to look at, they are just for show. The core of this skeleton beast army is the two big bones.

Since the previous battle did not break the two bones of the big bones, so although the two bones of the big bones have lost the blessing of the power of the mantra, the skeletons have not been completely scattered on the ground, and a certain framework has been maintained for the time being. of.

At this moment, Zhou Xu couldn't help feeling a little melancholy as he walked closer and looked at the scarred skeleton of the big and two bones.

Not to mention the parts that have been scattered on the ground, even the parts that still maintain the frame have many cracks, and many parts have even been broken.

Zhou Xu had tested it earlier. Although the skeleton unit could be continuously reorganized by the power of the mantra, the reorganization was not completely restored. In the process of being continuously crushed, the strength of the skeleton unit would continue to decrease.

Simply put, it becomes increasingly fragile.

The sharp decline in the strength of Big Bone and Two Bones started from the battle with Bo Levin.

At that time, Zhou Xu controlled the Big Bone and Two Bones to contain Bollevin, so he created a chance for his side to win, and finally occupied the lizard people's tribe.

But in the process, Bo Levin relied on his own mantra method to continuously launch powerful attacks on Big Bone and Two Bones, breaking them apart several times.

Many cracks on the skeleton were left at that time.

Once cracks appear in the originally integrated bones, their strength will be significantly reduced, not to mention that they will be broken in more than one or two places.

In yesterday's city defense battle, in order to destroy the enemy's siege tower as quickly as possible, Zhou Xu controlled the big and two bones to launch a collision.

During the collision, the two bones themselves were inevitably damaged.

At that time, on the wall, Zhou Xu had already seen the bone fragments that kept flying out. This was also the core reason why he came to confirm the situation in person.

[Alas, if this situation continues, Big Bone and Second Bone are not far away from ‘retirement’. 】

Throughout the entire cold weapon era, the strategic value of large units like the Big Bone and Ergu cannot be ignored.

If possible, Zhou Xu really didn't want to lose these two strategic units.

But sometimes he has no choice. If Big Bone and Two Bones want to fight, they will inevitably withstand attacks and be damaged, which will eventually lead to a decrease in strength.

However, in this process, the consumption of using mantra to control them is not reduced at all.

In other words, if you continue to use it like this, sooner or later the Big Bone and Two Bones will turn into huge paper tigers that can scare people, but will be broken by the enemy when they poke them.

This itself is no longer cost-effective. Instead of doing that, it is better to save this consumption and recruit skeleton troops to win through quantity.
