Chapter 1200 King Yong's Choice

The dark clouds were vast and the dust was rolling.

On the first day of the battle, King Yong almost pressed all his troops and horses, trying to break through the South Gate in one fell swoop with his absolute advantage. However, with so many troops and horses, they were crowded outside the South Gate, lacking space to display their skills, and finally they were just live targets.

After half a day, after leaving thousands of corpses outside the South Gate, King Yong changed his strategy, built warships, and began to cross the river from the North Gate, preparing to attack from the north and south.

The warships were not big, and each ship could only accommodate a dozen people. The means of combat were mainly boarding battles. In the battle in the river area, large ships could not move, so small boats were more convenient, and the main purpose was transportation.

Under the river, there were fire mines. Once touched, the huge shock wave could easily overturn the boats. If these soldiers could swim, it would be fine, but if not, they would only drown.

Although the mines were powerful, they were limited in number, and because the trigger mechanism was crude and clumsy, the overall effect was not very good. Many of them exploded underwater and exploded in vain.

What really worked was the iron chains that were crisscrossed in the river. They were neither too deep nor too shallow, just enough to stop the boats from moving forward. If they insisted on moving forward, they would even be in danger of capsizing.

Want to remove them? The chains were connected with barbs, and the depth was also precisely measured. It was not that easy.

The fortifications inherited from the small country played a miraculous role at this moment. Many ships were moving steadily forward, but they capsized inexplicably. The soldiers on them also fell into the water one after another, becoming drowned rats and retreating in embarrassment.

On the top of the city, there were catapults throwing huge rocks, hitting the water surface, splashing huge water, hitting the small boats, instantly breaking into pieces, and hitting people. There was no need to say more about the results.

The first day of attack and defense was extremely fierce, and both sides suffered considerable casualties. Overall, the attackers, that is, King Yong, suffered greater losses.

The battlefield was filled with gray smoke, and charred, broken weapons and even limbs were everywhere on the battlefield.

Occasionally, you can still smell the aroma of barbecue, but if you know the source of the aroma, you will definitely feel sick. In fact, the aroma will not last long, and it will be the smell of burnt flesh, which is disgusting.

Wu Yi has been watching the battle on the first day. The troops under his command were all led by him to fight all the way from south to north, and they have a lot of combat experience. In comparison, although King Yong has a lot of troops, many of them were hastily put together. They can rush up with blood and lack coordination. Once they are defeated, they will retreat in an organized manner. In short, they can only fight with the wind.

The battle on the first day was so intense, and the reason why it was so intense was that King Yong sent his own soldiers to support the front line when he saw that the situation was not good, and there was no large-scale rout.

However, this is a flaw after all. It is impolite not to return the favor. How could Wu Yi miss this opportunity?

The moon tonight is also particularly shy, and there is no trace of it. The sky and the earth are dark. Soldiers are hung down with ropes to prepare for a night attack.

On the top of the city wall, he could vaguely see the enemy's camp fire rising to the sky, and the riot was in full swing. Wu Yi remained silent. Not long after, a general came to report that the two thousand soldiers who wanted to sneak attack from the western mountain had been wiped out.

This first night, Wu Yi still won half a move.

Wu Yi and King Yong both wanted to take advantage of the night to give the other side a fatal blow, and both sent their own troops, but the final results were very different.

It is not difficult to understand, because Wu Yi chose the opponent's weakness. A group of new recruits were harassed at night, and they didn't run around. The riot was difficult to suppress, and Wu Yi had already made arrangements for the western mountain. King Yong would not succeed so easily.

After waiting for another hour, when the generals reported the casualties, Wu Yi returned to the mansion to rest.

This long first day was finally over.

On the second day, the third day, and even the next half month, the situation did not change much. It was a confrontation. Wu Yi retreated and looted all the food along the way. He could spend time with Wu Yi, but King Yong did not have much time to waste with Wu Yi.

On the one hand, he had huge logistical pressure because of the thousands of miles of food transportation. On the other hand, it was because there were less than two months left before the end of the election system.

Even if he could not defeat Wu Yi, King Yong needed to bring back a good result. Otherwise, King Yong would lose this adventure.

After the setback on the first day, King Yong clearly realized one thing, that is, it was unlikely to achieve victory in the war in a normal way within two months.

However, he thought about whether to use abnormal means for half a month. Seeing that the food in the army was getting less and less, and the people in the rear were increasingly criticizing the war, King Yong had to make a corresponding decision.

On this day, after seeing the military situation, the situation was still as stalemate as before. Although the losses on their side were getting smaller and smaller, there was still no possibility of breaking the city. King Yong frowned, and the dark circles under his eyes were so eye-catching and dazzling, and his shoulders seemed to be burdened with a heavy weight.

Where is the hope?

"Your Highness, the people have been brought here!" The guards reported outside the tent.

When King Yong heard this, a flash of disgust flashed in the corner of his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it, and a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and said in a clear voice: "Please come in, both of you!"

Whoever opened the curtain was Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying. It is said that after the two learned about Wu Yi through the Heavenly Secret Evil Mirror and entered King Yong's circle of advisers, they were not reused by King Yong.

On the one hand, it was because the two generously admitted that they had practiced Taoism with strangers. On the other hand, it was also because they were unable to explain the source of the information and eliminate the possibility of spies.

These days, the two of them were sent by King Yong to transport grain. Grain transportation was related to the life and death of the army. It was impossible to leave it to two people who didn't know their background. Therefore, they were just doing it and keeping a ledger, as if Like a clerk.

Those who were a little angry would have left King Yong long ago at this time, but the two of them did not take it seriously. On the contrary, they worked wholeheartedly and conscientiously, doing their own jobs clearly and correcting problems along the way. Many moths come, and the evidence is in front of them. Many people dismount, which can be regarded as making their own reputation.

This time King Yong summoned the two of them, nominally to praise them for their serious work, but King Yong himself knew the real reason.

It's not because Cheng Wei and Cheng Ying have said before that "Chen Yan" has also practiced with a different person, and he is a "demon" with his cultivation.

If Wu Yi's identity could be revealed, then King Yong would have won half of this war.
