Chapter 649 Bloody Battle Will Start
Although Qian Huan's one-shot operation forced the Eastern Xianbei to surrender, the battle situation did not change decisively.
Zhang He learned a word from another person called "pig teammate". In Zhang He's eyes, the Eastern Xianbei has great potential to become a pig teammate.
In order not to be killed by the scumbags of Xianbei in the east, Zhang Xi really didn't dare to entrust them with important tasks.
To put it simply, the task currently received by the Eastern Xianbei is to gather troops on the east side of Kebineng's army, but they don't need to launch a real attack, they only need to play a role in restraining Kebineng's troops.
Although despised by others, Eastern Xianbei happily explained this result. Letting them work hard with Ke Bi Neng can be regarded as embarrassing them. Now this can only be the best situation, and there is no need to really face Ke Bi Neng. Even if Kebi can win in the end, the Eastern Xianbei will not have no room for maneuver.
In fact, if you think about it with your butt, you know that it is impossible for the Eastern Xianbei to surrender from the heart. Although forced to stand on Pingzhou's side temporarily due to the situation, it is still impossible to fight bloody for Pingzhou.
But in this way, Ke Bineng felt uncomfortable. Not to mention the inexplicable death of the envoy I sent, the eastern Xianbei, which was originally the rescue target, turned rebellious first. Although Ke Bineng can't look down on the combat power of the eastern Xianbei, but in theory, the eastern Xianbei also occupies one-third of the Xianbei's weight.
The entire eastern Xianbei surrendered collectively, which dealt a great blow to the morale of Ke Bineng's army, and even slapped Ke Bineng, who thought he was the hero of the grassland, severely.
First, they lost more than 200,000 elite combat forces of the Protectorate Corps, and then the eastern Xianbei rebelled, and Ke Bineng allocated some troops to guard against the eastern Xianbei. After several setbacks, the overall combat strength of Ke Bineng's army has basically equaled that of Zhang Yun's army.
Ke Bineng's only advantage at present is that the entire army is a cavalry group with strong mobility. However, this advantage was repeatedly defeated in front of the heavy infantry group led by Zhang Yun.
However, it must be admitted that Kebi can still take the initiative in the current duel. After all, relying on the mobility of the cavalry, they can still run if they cannot beat it!
Zhang Xi can only say that he can remain undefeated, unless Ke Bi Neng's brain is filled with water, and the cavalry corps must forcibly attack the formation composed of heavy infantry, otherwise it will be difficult for Zhang He to win a real victory.
But for Zhang Xi, staying unbeaten is enough. According to the latest order given to him by Shang Ji, the only thing he has to do now is to restrain the Ke Bineng Group, so that he cannot support Longcheng and relieve Shang Ji's pressure.
Zhang He's strategy is very simple, Ke Bi Neng is willing to spend it like this, if he wants to go north to Longcheng, then Zhang Yun will go south to join the Youzhou coalition forces, and directly take the leader of Ke Bineng's lair, Manchester City. Which is more important between Dragon City and Touman City?
Ke Bi can know it well.
The war became stalemate like this. There were tens of hundreds of small-scale battles between the two sides a day, but the real large-scale corps were all silent, and it felt like a silent war.
The key point that can really determine the outcome of the war has been transferred to Dragon City again!
In Dragon City, the atmosphere of war is extremely strong.
"People of Longcheng, my lord Han Pingzhou Mu and General Zhenbei are here to punish the unkind and unrighteous traitors, and have nothing to do with the people of Longcheng. My lord is tolerant and merciful. I can't bear to see dragons The people of the city have been harassed by the flames of war. Therefore, at this critical moment, it is agreed to open the gates of various places in Dragon City and allow residents to leave freely. I hope that you will appreciate my Lord’s kindness and leave Dragon City quickly. If not all evacuate within three days, our army will Take coercive measures!"
Qiqin, the former deputy commander of the Dragon City Protectorate Army, has become a loyal dog in Pingzhou, leading a group of elite Xianbei Guiyi Army, riding horses back and forth in the outer city of Longcheng, publicizing Shang Ji's orders.
The residents of Longcheng looked at the traitor who was a high-ranking Xianbei six days ago with complicated expressions, and left Longcheng silently with big bags on their backs.
A fierce battle is about to break out in Dragon City, and the residents of Dragon City can already see this. For the sake of his own life, it is not a bad idea to leave Dragon City.
What's more, there are teams of Xianbei Guiyi soldiers who hold guns and knives and stare at them murderously. I believe that as long as there is any change, they will not hesitate to kill people.
It was already the sixth day since Shang Ji broke into the Dragon City City Lord's Mansion, and Zhao Yun's strategy for the three areas of the battlefield had begun to bear fruit. Because the four of them led the army to block the attack at the outer layer, the gathering speed of the surrounding Xianbei tribe coalition forces was very slow.
In addition, the 200,000 elite cavalry led by the four attacked repeatedly during these six days, destroying, capturing, and defeating countless Xianbei troops.
The cooldown time of Golden Holy Eagle's skill [Return without killing] has expired, and Shang Ji used it again, successfully recruiting more than 50,000 Xianbei captives. However, the quality of this batch of captives was obviously not as good as the previous batch. After all, the previous batch were all the elite of the Skitarii, and the average combat power was far from what the tribal alliance could match.
Counting the small number of Xianbei troops recruited and surrendered through normal channels, the number of Xianbei servants in the entire Dragon City exceeded the 100,000 mark. Correspondingly, after Payne worked overtime and desperately, the size of the undead army exceeded 50,000.
Originally, there were not so many. After all, Payne was just a super-class undead magister, and the number of undead transformed every day was limited. However, in order to make the undead army take shape as soon as possible, Payne can be considered to go all out. If the mana is not enough, he will take drugs to make it up, and give up on rest and sleep.
Such high-intensity work, on the contrary, further stimulated Payne's potential, thoroughly digested and absorbed the inheritance of the undead tyrant, and Payne successfully advanced to the undead magic god equivalent to a top general!
The soaring strength has brought great improvements in work efficiency. In six days, an army of 50,000 undead was formed. This speed surprised even Shang Ji. The undead army is indeed the best at playing crowd tactics.
You must know that Payne's 50,000 undead are not low in strength. Among them, there are about 30,000 Tier 4 skeleton warriors, about 10,000 Tier 5 death warriors, and 15,000 Tier 5 death knights. More than 200 are equivalent to second-rate Or the dark warriors and dark knights of first-class generals, or a group of about a hundred necromancers (transformed from shamanistic priests, the number is very rare).
In the undead army, these are all high-end items.
In contrast, Master Payne seriously overdraws his magic power. Even with the supplement of advanced medicine, he still can't play any role within three days.
But even so, the available troops of the Pingzhou side in the Battle of Dragon City also exceeded the 400,000 mark, which greatly eased the plight of Pingzhou's lack of troops.
Now, on the outer front, after Zhao Yun and others harassed them for six days in a row, the surrounding tribal coalition forces also began to change their combat methods, marching in groups, and resolutely refused to give Zhao Yun and the others any chance.
And according to the joint investigation of Qian Huan and Feifeng Huoqi, the number of Xianbei troops gathered outside Longcheng has exceeded the four million mark, and this number is still growing rapidly. The real bloody battle is coming soon!
Therefore, Shang Ji has already ordered that the troops who went hunting in the city return to the city in batches to repair, and only keep the minimum harassment operations outside the city.
"My lord, my lord!" Just after reading today's latest battle report, Shang Ji heard Chen Guan shout excitedly.
"Oh? It's Baishou, but something is wrong?"
"My lord, happy event, great happy event!" Chen Guan happily came to Shang Ji and bowed down.
"Where does the joy come from? Could it be that the suppression of Longcheng has been completed?"
"My lord, you know everything like a god, that's exactly what it is!"
Shang Ji was also a little excited when he heard the words, and quickly said: "Tell me, how many things have you harvested?"
"My lord, this harvest has been very fruitful. There are as many as 1.3 billion gold coins in simple money. In addition, there are various gold and silver jewelry, high-grade materials, and famous horses, etc. The exact value cannot be estimated!"
"In addition, there are a large number of martial arts cheats, high-level equipment, props, skill books, etc., and the amount is more than five times that obtained in the Dragon City treasury!"
"Hey, so many?!"
Shang Ji couldn't help exclaiming, even though he was mentally prepared, the wealth of Dragon City still exceeded Shang Ji's expectations.
"Hey, my lord, more than 90% of all these things are contributed by the residents of the inner city. Although there are many residents in the outer city, they are nothing compared to the inner city!"
"I see!"
As soon as Chen Guan said, Shang Ji suddenly realized. The level of civilization of the Xianbei nation is still at the stage of slavery, and wealth is highly concentrated. The people who can live in the inner city of Dragon City are at least minor nobles. They randomly pulled one out, and they were worth more than thousands or even tens of thousands of ordinary herdsmen combined.
That is to say, the strength of the Pingzhou Army is seriously insufficient. Otherwise, if it is really meticulous and thorough, the harvest will definitely be much more than this.
"Tsk tsk tsk, it's a pity, if we can use the various buildings in Dragon City, why should we think about breaking through? With so much wealth, we can kill Xianbei people by smashing them!"
Thinking about the horrible wealth of more than 4 billion in his hands, and billions of various basic resources, but he just can't transform it into strength, Shang Ji is a little depressed.
"My lord, if we really capture Dragon City, we won't gain much." Chen Guan also smiled and said.
Shang Ji couldn't help laughing when he heard the words. As Chen Guan said, if the city was occupied by himself, such a large-scale looting would have wiped out the basic city attributes such as popular support and public security, and even the prestige would have plummeted.
In fact, even so, it was not all smooth sailing for Liu Yi in the process of leading the army to clean up Dragon City. The Xianbei aristocrats in the inner city were not feeble scholars with no power to restrain their chickens, and the slaves and dead men they raised (huan) were not for nothing.
There is no large-scale resistance, but sporadic battles have basically never been interrupted. That is to say, Shang Ji with the S-level title [Alien Conqueror] can greatly reduce the probability of alien rebellion, otherwise the situation will be even more chaotic!
Even so, Liu Yi was in a state of desperation for a while, and the situation did not change significantly until the second batch of Xianbei Guiyi Army joined and the total force responsible for the cleanup broke through the 100,000 mark.
