The situation was clearly placed in front of Diao Si. The Hai Clan wanted to use the copper and iron walls of Chidong Imperial City to wait for their reinforcements. Therefore, the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be for Diao Si to capture Chidong Imperial City.
But Diao Si immediately attacked Chidong Imperial City, and there were many unfavorable factors. On the one hand, it was already getting late and night was coming soon. On the other hand, Diao Si's troops had been exhausted after marching so fast.
"We, the warriors of the Blazing Empire, have worked hard along the way. Now the imperial city of the Chidong Empire is in front, and our victory is not far away. Everyone, take a good rest first, and then we will march towards the Chidong Empire. The Imperial City launched a general attack to seize their Imperial City... "
After Diao Si encouraged them like this, the soldiers who had just arrived barely regained their morale, but their overall condition was still not good. They were really tired and needed to take a rest first.
In this way, Diao Si first let the large army rest in the camp, and then arranged for the treatment troops of the Elf Royal Family to help adjust their condition with water magic, and then let those who specialize in manipulating the cannons arrange their cannons.
Diao Si's current arrangement is mainly defensive. Although it seems that the enemies in Chidong Imperial City will not easily leave the city to attack them, but in their current state, it is better to do the necessary defense first.
During this period, Diao Si was still paying close attention to the situation in Chidong Imperial City. There were as many Hai Clan warriors there as an entire army. If the cannons were not used to forcibly attack the city, the losses would be quite large.
For this reason, Diao Si first tried to fire two cannonballs at the Chidong Imperial City. The effect was exactly as he expected. The copper and iron walls were too strong. If he bombed like this alone, he was afraid that all the cannonballs brought by Diao Si would be destroyed. If you use it all, you can't do anything to the city wall.
After the sea beast troops inside the city wall were attacked, they immediately hid in a safe position behind the city wall. They are already prepared. If they bombard Chidong Imperial City indiscriminately, they will probably kill all the humans there at most.
Diao Si's cannonballs have to be used to deal with the hateful sea beast, as well as the sea tribe in the northern part of the Chidong Empire. They can't consume too much ammunition here, as this will affect the entire plan.
It started to get dark, and the first thing Diao Si did was arrange and protect the dragon transport team, because he might still use them after dawn, and this was his most important team.
"Emperor, do we want to capture Chidong Imperial City immediately?" A general interrupted Diao Si's train of thought. This was exactly what he was hesitating about. It would be great if we could capture Chidong Imperial City at once. , but what if it doesn’t work
"Send the order, we will not attack tonight, let everyone have a good rest, we will take action immediately after dawn!" Diao Si gave this order to let the large army rest at ease and have a good rest. In fact, when will they attack him? It's not decided yet.
Diao Si looked at the direction of the Hengzhi sun that was sinking on the horizon. It was still shining brightly and had not dimmed for a long time. It was very strange.
Why does the Hengzhi Ri appear completely untouched there? It's just that the direction has shifted, but the light is still the same, and it seems to be coming out again soon.
In this way, Diao Si suddenly remembered the legend of eternal day in the Eternal Temple. There is no night within a certain range around the Eternal Temple, and there is rarely night in the entire Eternal Empire. Therefore, this is under the Eternal Empire. In Chidong Imperial City, the night time is also very short.
In this way, Diao Si fell asleep more peacefully, because the night was very short. If he didn't take the time to take a rest, it would be dawn soon.
After dawn, Diao Si carefully observed the situation in Chidong Imperial City. The sea tribe there did not move much that night. They had been doing defensive work.
Diao Si thought they must be waiting for some reinforcements there, but he tried his best to observe the northern part of the Chidong Empire, but he could never find any movement.
Could it be that the Hai Clan decided that Diao Si's team could not pass through the iron walls of the imperial city? So they don't need any support from the north at all? Do you want to waste so much effort on the team that they will have to retreat automatically when they finally run out of ammunition and food
Diao Si continued to deploy his artillery team. He would first try to advance an artillery unit to a certain distance towards Chidong Imperial City, and then use high-explosive artillery shells with a short range to attack the city wall.
This is the most powerful artillery shell in the Blazing Empire. If they can't do anything to the copper wall, Diao Si will have to give up the plan of using cannons to attack the city.
But just when Diao Si arranged the detachment to reach the range of Chidong Imperial City, the generals behind suddenly rushed over and told him that their rear line of defense had discovered the enemy.
The enemy is discovered at the rear? How is this possible? Diao Si had clearly eliminated all the enemies when he passed by. So he immediately used refraction magic to observe the situation behind them.
Seeing this, Diao Si was really dumbfounded. Not far from their back line, a large number of sea beast troops were surrounding them and about to attack!
Could it be that they were hiding in those buildings and underground before emerging after Diao Si's team passed by? But it's impossible for Diao Si's army to be completely unaware when it passes by. And what buildings are there to hide in
Then Diao Si took out the map and looked at it. Originally, he wanted to see if there was anything missing, but after flipping through it, he discovered that the sea beast troops were pouring out from the coastline.
It turns out that this is the case. This is basically the conspiracy of the Hai Clan. The team that the Hai Clan is preparing to attack is not just the hundreds of thousands in the northern part of the Chidong Empire. In the ocean that Diao Si has not noticed, maybe they are still there. The base camp is located, where a certain number of sea beast troops are hidden.
When Diao Si invaded the Chidong Empire, the Hai Clan should have been making arrangements to get Diao Si to attack this position, and then send out sea beast troops to surround his army.
So now the sea beast troops in Chidong Imperial City are only preparing for defense because they are not waiting for the troops from the north, but the backup troops lurking in the ocean.
This was Diao Si's mistake, because he completely ignored the inconspicuous ocean on the map and forgot some characteristics of the sea people. The undetectable ocean is the biggest barrier to the Sea Clan. The Sea Clan's army may be hidden there, and all their military actions will not be noticed by Diao Si on land.
Diao Si was really upset about this. He had always claimed to be a military genius, but he was completely unaware of the actions of the Sea Tribe. Now he had to face a dilemma with no way forward and pursuers behind him. This made him shameless to face it again. gaming world.
What's the use of being upset? He must find a way immediately before the sea tribe that surged out has really trapped them here, otherwise he may really be annihilated in the Chidong Empire.
Continuing to observe and study, there are only two ways to go now, either to retreat immediately to the west towards the Sabei Desert, in which case they will definitely suffer some losses and may not even be able to escape. Because there are many mountains to the west of the Chidong Empire, this will greatly affect their marching speed.
Either they must capture Chidong Imperial City immediately, and then rely on Chidong Imperial City to fight against the sea monster troops outflanking the rear line of defense. There is still hope, because Diao Si still has cannons, and even if he is trapped in Chidong Imperial City, he can still use the Dragon Clan to replenish supplies.
Given these two choices, Diao Si naturally chose to attack. This is the experience he gained in the game. It's just that it may take him a while to capture Chidong Imperial City.
Without further ado, the artillery unit carrying high-explosive ammunition was already in place. Diao Si led his large army to greet them, and then ordered them to start firing at the wall of Chidong Imperial City.
"Rumble..." The blast of the high-explosive shell was so loud that it even shattered nearby buildings. But after such a series of bombardments, the copper and iron walls of Chidong Imperial City still had no obvious damage. It was too strong.
How to do it? After Diao Si ordered to stop firing, he used his refraction magic to carefully observe the situation inside the imperial city. Now the sea people inside are cleverly hiding behind the strong city wall, so it is difficult for his cannon to hurt them, so other methods must be used. (To be continued)
