Chapter 740

"According to the order of the lord, I ordered you to put down your weapons and open the city gate to surrender within a stick of incense. Those who do not surrender within the time limit will be killed without mercy!"

Liu Meng threw down a word in a murderous spirit, and then stood on the spot leaning on a long knife, eyes slightly closed, and waited quietly. A guard next to him immediately lit a stick of incense, his attitude was obvious.

Faced with such an arrogant gesture, Bei Guocheng was trembling from top to bottom, not daring to show their spirits! Looking at the curling green smoke, it feels like every second of delay is a second of catastrophe approaching.

A general in Beiguo City quietly raised his head to look at the hundreds of high-ranking generals flying in the form of pegasus in the sky, then glanced outside the city, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "How about... let's surrender!"

Hearing this general's proposal, some people showed joy, some glared, and many remained silent.

Captain Bei Guocheng is one of them who is silent!

At this time, Captain Bei Guo regretted why he did not follow the Lord of Bei Guo City to lead the army to wipe out the "alien thieves" in Bei Xiang City, otherwise he would not have to face such a difficult choice.

The time for a stick of incense is very short, more than half of a stick of incense burns in the blink of an eye, Liu Meng opened his eyes and glanced at the remaining incense sticks, then glanced expressionlessly at the defenders of Beiguo City, and continued to doze off!

The general who suggested it first swallowed his saliva and stammered: "School... Captain, the remaining time is less than half a stick of incense!"

The captain took a deep breath and took a step forward: "Honored envoy, if your army can guarantee the safety of the elders in Beiguo City, I would like to surrender!"

Liu Meng opened his eyes, and said lightly: "No guarantee! You have no right to make conditions with me. You will surrender unconditionally immediately, or you will be completely crushed by my army after one-third of the incense burns!"

The captain's expression froze when he heard the words, and he stayed for a few seconds, his face flushed rapidly, but no matter how angry he was, he still couldn't bring up the spirit of death.

A moment later, as if giving up on himself, the school captain cupped his hands: "I beg you, Bei Guocheng is willing to surrender!"

Hearing the words of wishing to surrender, Liu Meng opened his eyes again, and said lightly: "Open the city gate and welcome the army to enter the city. All the defenders of Beiguo City immediately put down their weapons and stood against the wall to wait for our army to deal with them. Anyone who dares to resist will kill them." No pardon! Send a message to the lord, and our army has successfully captured Beiguo City."

The second half of the sentence is for the personal guard.

Beiguo City is the middle-level city that Xi Zhicai said lies between Lequan City and Beixiang City. Considering that this city will need to rely on this city to resist the attack of Lequan City's reinforcements in the future, Shang Ji does not want to destroy Beiguo City. city ​​walls.

If you don't want to destroy the city wall but also want to take the city, the best way is of course not to fight the subdued soldiers and force Beiguo City to surrender.

It is not difficult to achieve this. There were originally 50,000 defenders in Beiguo City, of which 20,000 were dispatched to participate in the coalition forces that wiped out Beixiang City. The total force in the city is only 30,000!

Facing Pingzhou's 700,000 troops, it would be evil if Beiguo City could burn everything together!

In order to increase deterrence, Shang Ji deliberately removed hundreds of generals with mounts above the famous Ji level,

At the same time, it unfolds the second form, hovering over Beiguo City in the form of a heavenly horse, creating pressure on Beiguo City.

Shang Ji was not surprised when he received the news that Beiguo City had surrendered. He immediately ordered Lu Kuang to lead 100,000 infantry into Beiguo City according to the predetermined plan, and at the same time ordered Liu Meng to lead 10,000 elite greedy wolf cavalry to station temporarily. In Beiguo City, once Lequan City showed signs of sending troops to support them, they would immediately lead 10,000 greedy wolves out of the city to harass the enemy.

Shang Ji himself led the rest of the army to Beixiang City with all its strength.

Although Zhao Yun tried his best to contain it, the death coalition forces still completed the encirclement of Beixiang City. If this continues, Zhao Yun will be really dangerous.

In Beixiangcheng, a fierce battle has just ended.

Zhao Yun clearly knew that blindly defending must be a dead end. Under the premise that the army encircled Beixiang City, he took the initiative to lead a small number of elite cavalry out of the city to fight, buying time for the main force of the Pingzhou Army.

This is just the most common defensive counterattack in the past few days, and there is nothing to praise in terms of scale or results. But there is one thing, in this war, the army composed of pure players made its debut.

No matter how miserable the combat players participating in the national war are, it is no problem to get a war horse.

In a few days, Beiguo City gathered 70,000 to 80,000 players, including 20,000 to 30,000 combat players. The followers brought by these combat players add up to more than 100,000.

Seriously speaking, the total number of troops stationed in Beiguo City exceeds 200,000, but the real combat effectiveness is only 40,000 silver dragon cavalry and 10,000 bloodthirsty tigers.

The individual combat power of player followers is not weak, and many of them even surpass the elite Pingzhou army. However, these followers are more similar to rangers who are good at fighting alone, and their role in large-scale battlefields is very limited.

If you take the time and energy to reorganize, the possibility of training an elite army is still very high. It's just that these entourages belong to tens of thousands of players, and it is conceivable that it is difficult to unify and reorganize them. Let alone Shang Ji, even Yanhuang Sharp Blade has to scratch his head.

In desperation, Zhao Yun could only recruit some combat players and organize them a little to assist the Silver Dragon Cavalry in combat. With Zhao Yun's appeal among players, it is not difficult to complete this task.

Soon three thousand cavalry units composed of pure players were formed, and they appeared in the latest defensive counterattack.

The effect of the first battle was good. Zhao Yun personally led the silver dragon cavalry to charge forward, tearing through the enemy's defense line. Then the player legion took advantage of the void and entered, massacring them wantonly. Although in the end hundreds of players were beaten to death by the reacting death coalition forces because they did not obey the orders and failed to retreat in time, overall the battle was a success.

Zhao Yun's repeated provocations also aroused the anger of the enemy army. Afterwards, the 1.5 million troops divided into four groups, blocked the siege of Beixiang City, and attacked with all four groups. .

Faced with the enemy's overwhelming attack, Zhao Yun breathed a sigh of relief. He has been notified by Shang Ji that the main force is secretly deploying a siege net against the death coalition forces, and the victory is only one blow away!

"My lord, the deployment of the army has been completed. The four main cavalry, Tanlang Cavalry, Lieyang Cavalry, Yanhu Cavalry, and Black Armored Black Cavalry, have been deployed in place according to the order of the lord. , Xingyao Qiangbow and other infantry have also been assembled. Shurawei and Fengwuwei have also been deployed as strategic reserves."

"Okay! Herald Zilong, Beixiang City can choose an opportunity to 'fall'!"

In the city of Beixiang, after receiving the order from Shang Ji, Zhao Yun immediately ordered the army to show the enemy that he was weak, to abandon the city wall in the next round of the enemy's strong attack, and let the enemy army enter the city.

Soon, this plan was perfectly implemented. Accompanied by cheers from the enemy troops outside the city, the east wall of Beixiang City officially changed hands, and Zhao Yun led the army to retreat to the inner city.

Outside the East City Gate, in a luxurious tent fifty miles away from the battlefield, six city lords of large cities were listening to the good news from the front line.

"Hahaha, Li Tong is worthy of being the mighty general of our Anping City, he took down the city wall that had been invincible for a long time!"

It was the army of Anping City who took down the city wall. Li Jing, the city lord of Anping City, made a big mistake. There is no need to express his joy.

Although the city lords of the other big cities congratulated, they were very upset in their hearts.

The relationship between the lords of the cities in the Dead Continent is quite complicated, somewhat similar to the Greek city-states in the classical period. Each city is an independent kingdom, headed by the big city, supplemented by various small and medium cities to form a faction. And the city lords within each faction are extremely independent. In short, the relationship is a complicated one!

If it weren't for the sudden large-scale arrival of players, which seriously threatened their safety, it would be almost impossible to form a coalition based on the relationship between them.

"City Lord Li's powerful generals are like clouds, and the first contribution to pacifying Beixiang City and destroying the alien thieves should go to City Lord Li. My City Lord congratulates City Lord Li first!"

A middle-level city lord who was originally from Li Jing's faction said, with a flattering smile on his face.

"Hmph, the enemy army has not been wiped out yet, so it's too early to talk about the first success! Let's talk about the walls of a mere mid-level city, so what's there to brag about!"

Another big city lord couldn't stand it anymore, and said sarcastically in a cold voice.

"Huang Dai, what do you mean?"

Li Jing immediately jumped up, pointed at the city lord who made the noise and shouted angrily.

The quarrel between the two was not just a battle of emotions. According to the joint military agreement, the city lord who took the lead had the right to deal with Beixiang City after the war. In a mid-level city, even the city lord is greedy, and no one is willing to give up.

"What do I mean? You don't even look at you..."

"Okay, okay, let's both say a word. The enemy is now, and we still need to cooperate sincerely. These alien thieves are powerful and have strange origins. At this juncture, we can't make any troubles among ourselves!"

Seeing that the two had a tendency to get angry, the other older city lord hurriedly stood up as a peacemaker.

"Yes, yes, what Zhang Lao said is true. There are still hundreds of thousands of enemy troops in the city. After the enemy troops are eliminated, it will not be too late to decide who is the first!"

The other city lords also echoed and quelled the dispute.

"This city lord proposes that whoever's army is the first to attack the Beixiang City lord's mansion will take the lead. What do you think?"

"City Lord Zhao's idea is good. Whoever breaks into the City Lord's Mansion first will get the first credit. It's fair and just. I agree!"

"I agree too!"

"Seconded!"

……………………

Li Jing still wanted to refute, but saw that almost all the more than ten city lords in the city agreed. He couldn't help frowning, he knew that he was being targeted by being too conspicuous, so in order not to cause public anger, he could only nod and said: "Okay, if I, Anping City, can take the first to capture the city wall, then I, Anping City, must be the first to capture the City Lord's Mansion! "

After finishing speaking, in front of everyone present, Li Jing said to the lieutenant behind him: "Order Li Tong, attack with all your strength, be the first to attack the City Lord's Mansion!"

"Hmph!" The city lord named Huang Daida snorted coldly, waved his hands and said: "Send the order, let Huang Ling attack immediately and attack the city lord's mansion with all his strength. I didn't ask to be the first to attack the city lord's mansion, but I The city lord's army must enter the city lord's mansion before Anping City!"

After speaking, Huang Dai glanced at Li Jing provocatively.
