Throne of Vientiane Civilization

From the time of surrender to the present, the 500 troops led by Bai Tu were basically under Shi Lei to assist in the city defense work.

This is normal. Although he performed well in the previous battles and was promoted to second lieutenant, he is still junior in Dazhou after all.

In addition, the current situation poses no threat to Da Zhou. If he wants to lead his own troops, he has to work hard for a few more years, and then he happens to encounter a good opportunity.

But what Bai Tu didn't expect was that this opportunity came so suddenly.

After experiencing a brief period of surprise, Bai Tu felt a strong excitement in his heart!

Bai Tu, who participated in the entire tactical discussion, knew it clearly.

This battle is not just as simple as capturing Green Forest City, but after capturing Green Forest City, we must directly capture Xianyang City, the capital city opposite.

Being able to capture a city by itself is already a great achievement. If he can lead the siege troops and capture two cities in a row, considering that military achievement, his status in the Great Zhou Dynasty will naturally rise.

When he thought of this, Bai Tu became full of energy. After the meeting, he hurried back to summon his brothers to get ready, and called five centurions to discuss matters in his camp.

The soldiers who received the news were all very excited.

Not only because they finally seized the opportunity to make a contribution, but also because their opponent this time was their country-destroying enemy!

This made these original soldiers who were defending the country want to kill them with their swords immediately.

In comparison, although the five centurions gathered for discussion were very excited at the moment, their minds were still relatively calm.

"Second Lieutenant, which troops are operating with us this time?!"

Faced with this problem, Bai Tu did not hide it, but expressed it directly and openly...

"There are also trapped camps and crossbow troops. In addition, the king will also go to the front line in person!"

After getting this answer, there was an uproar in the camp.

At this point, it is impossible for anyone in this army to doubt the strength of the trapped camp, but these soldiers from the Patriotic background have rich experience in city defense warfare, so they know very well that in siege warfare, cavalry The troops basically have little room for performance.

Therefore, no matter how strong the trapped camp is, it is of little significance in a siege battle.

No, someone soon raised this question.

"Second Lieutenant, although the trapped camp is strong, the cavalry unit's role is limited in siege warfare. As for the crossbow unit, we have never seen them take action, so it's hard to comment."

"The Green Forest City is led by Long Xiaotian, one of the four dragon generals, who has a thousand garrison troops. If you want to capture the Green Forest City, you will need two to three thousand troops, no matter how small it is!"

The five centurions under his command quickly explained their thoughts clearly to each other. Those who did not speak also nodded secretly to express their agreement.

In fact, as an attacker and defender, normally two to three thousand troops attack a city with a thousand garrison. Even if they can eventually attack it, it will most likely be a tragic victory.

If you want to control casualties and securely capture this city, a force of four to five thousand troops is considered standard.

And what about them?

Not counting the three hundred trapped camps, there is only one crossbow unit of unknown strength, plus their five hundred brothers?

They really felt a little unsure.

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Bai Tu shook his head.

"The strength of Da Zhou's army cannot be measured by simple numbers of troops. Before doing this, could you have imagined that three hundred iron cavalry in the formation could defeat Yan Sheng's five thousand army?"

Hearing this, the centurions all fell silent.

Just when Bai Tu thought that his subordinates had been convinced by him, one of the centurions raised his hand with a slightly embarrassed expression.

"Second Lieutenant, the strength of Dazhou's troops cannot be measured by simple troop numbers, but we can."

"..."

As soon as he said these words, his momentum suddenly weakened, but Bai Tu was still speechless.

In terms of status, they are now also the troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but the strength of the trapped camp is there. Do you dare to try?

When they first surrendered, they couldn't even keep up with the training intensity of ordinary soldiers here. It's only been a few months? It's not yet time for them to float.

The brothers under his command can be regarded as sober in the world.

[No, no, what are you thinking about me? 】

Realizing that he had almost been led astray, Bai Tu rubbed his cheeks vigorously to clear his thoughts, and then let out two heavy dry coughs.

"Okay, listen to me."

As soon as Bai Tu opened his mouth, the five centurions under his command quickly fell silent.

"Do you still remember the smashed city gate when we first arrived in Huangsha City?"

They were extremely impressed at that time. As soon as Bai Tu mentioned it, the five centurions nodded.

Seeing this, Bai Tu spoke up again...

"My guess is that the crossbow troops did it."

"..."

After saying this, Bai Tu continued to express his thoughts while looking at his subordinates who fell silent.

"So, we don't need to overestimate the defensive advantage of Green Forest City. Once the city gate is broken and we attack in, how much defensive advantage will the other side have?"

Everyone nodded subconsciously, and Bai Tu gradually entered the state.

"And don't forget, the king is coming with us."

"You should have seen the king's methods, right?"

"As soon as I waved my hand, the giant skeleton beasts came out in pieces."

"You think we are the main force in this wave? No! The main force in this wave is the King! We are just following the King to clean up the mess!"

As soon as Bai Tu said this analysis, each of the five centurions under his command suddenly understood.

"I see, why did I send just a few of us? The second lieutenant's mind works so fast!"

Now that he had decided to take over Green Forest City, Zhou Xu had no intention of delaying.

After all, no one can guarantee whether the Liu De opposite will attack Green Forest City next.

Considering all factors, Zhou Xu does not want to encounter Liu De's rebel army yet. Although the opponent's strength does not pose much of a threat to him, it will bring him trouble.

With this mentality, after the trapped camp completed a simple rest, they directly took the first step as a vanguard to clear the way forward.

As for the infantry units whose movement efficiency is not that high, they need to set off together with equipment and supplies, and it will take a day or two to prepare.

However, as soon as the Three Hundred Traps camp left, a large group of ragged figures with dusty faces slowly arrived outside Black Rock City. From the looks of it, they looked like they had been sleeping in the open air for many days.

Before they could get close to the city gate, an arrow was inserted directly in front of those people.

"He who comes is stopped!!"
