In order to prevent the enemies of the Hengxi Empire from attacking from all directions and being unable to cope with it, Diao Si actually opened the city gate wide at the critical moment. This move was unacceptable not only to the enemies but also to his generals.
Just when both the enemy and the enemy were thinking deeply about his sudden opening of the city gate, Diao Si began to use his fog of war magic, causing the entire Everblood Imperial City to be filled with fog.
Fortunately, the area of the Hengxue Imperial City is not very large. This is probably due to the long-term melee in the north. Such an imperial city is only rebuilt from an ordinary city and is not the long-term imperial city of the country.
Under the influence of such fog, the walls of the Hengxue Imperial City were slowly covered up, and the commander-in-chief of the Hengxi Empire over there did not dare to move, and was only thinking about how to deal with it.
Their birdman flew back quickly after it took off. It was obvious that in the fog like Diao Si, the birdman could not detect anything, and the commander was even more worried.
What Diao Si wants most is this result. This is another wonderful use of the empty city strategy, because he unexpectedly opened the city gate. Even if the commander-in-chief of the Hengxi Empire thought there was an ambush, at least she hesitated. , so Diao Si can buy time.
In fact, with Diao Si's current ammunition, even if he concentrates all the short-range artillery on the city gate, it is impossible to stop the enemy's constant attacks. If the enemy wants to attack by force, the time he can support it will be much shorter than guarding the city wall.
His purpose in doing this was to engage in psychological warfare, because since he couldn't defeat the enemy by distracting him, he might as well try this. Although he couldn't win, he might be able to delay it for a while.
Diao Si still stood calmly on the city gate, but the generals around him were so nervous that they could not stand still. They were all afraid that the enemy would attack immediately, because it was difficult to resist such a powerful enemy.
The short-range cannons had already been deployed, and the pipe artillery team also came to ambush on both sides of the city gate. The second city wall was not deployed so quickly. Because it was too sudden, they couldn't really build a city wall, so they could only move stones and other things from those buildings to barely block it and prevent the enemy from easily attacking.
At this time, the generals of the Everblood Empire came over and reported to Diao Si that they only found a small amount of kerosene and flammable materials. This is really quite small, especially the kerosene. In fact, an imperial city should have more than this kerosene just for lighting lamps.
But Diao Si didn't have time to care about them that much now. After all, these were not his subordinates and they didn't understand his style. Then he asked his generals to immediately deploy this simple mechanism behind the city gate. They were already very experienced in this area and did not need Diao Si's personal guidance.
It is estimated that the general of the Hengxi Empire saw through Diao Si's plan to delay time. After she gave the order loudly, she raised her weapons and personally led her men to attack the city gate.
Seeing that the enemy was finally about to attack, Diao Si's generals all focused their attention on him. They could no longer think of any ideas and were just waiting for Diao Si's next order.
But Diao Si did not give them any orders. He calmly watched the enemy approaching from the city gate. This not only made the soldiers of the Hengxi Empire who were about to attack more and more uneasy, but also his subordinates became more and more uneasy. Feeling uneasy.
It was Diao Si who was too calm, which made the commander of the Hengxi Empire more and more nervous. She still couldn't bear it and slowed down. She kept looking at Diao Si on the city wall, wondering what his actions were, but Diao Si always remained calm. Watching them there at all times.
She must have thought that Diao Si's cannon would sound in the fog, and then they would be blown to pieces by the cannonballs. However, it was very calm on the city wall, with no sound at all.
"Everyone, please cheer up. There may be ambushes in this imperial city and there are many mechanisms, but I will advance and retreat together with everyone. We will not be afraid of any obstacles. The Sun of Heng will always shine on us, and the Hengxi Empire will win!"
After the guy loudly encouraged the morale of his subordinates, he accelerated his attack towards the wide-open city gate. She was already prepared for Diao Si's ambush, and she wanted to fight Diao Si to the death.
However, they ran past the city gate without encountering any attack, and did not stop until they encountered an obstacle in the fog. However, the enemy troops rushing in front did not attack immediately. They were accustomed to guarding the city gate in case the city gate was suddenly closed. In this way, when the team behind them caught up, it would be even more crowded.
"Fire!" Diao Si gave the order, and immediately summoned his chain lightning, blasting towards the dense enemy, so that the arranged kerosene and flammable materials were ignited first.
Maybe Diao Si's magic couldn't stop those powerful warriors, but when dozens of short-range cannons around them fired at the obstacle at the city gate, the situation was completely different.
In addition to the lethality of the explosion, the most terrifying thing was the sea of fire that continued to burn. So many flame bombs exploded at once. This was not as simple as burning chicken wings.
The commander-in-chief of the Hengxi Empire was also prepared for this. When some of the soldiers fell, the other group spread out to cross Diao Si's second city wall and obstacles, but they were immediately intercepted by the artillery team. .
Because of the continuous fog, even the powerful warriors who escaped from the sea of fire were completely unable to figure out the direction of the cannons and cannons. Plus, there were so many soldiers ambushing them, so how could they attack them.
"Retreat..." It was really impossible to attack. When more than a thousand soldiers fell, the commander of the Hengxi Empire loudly ordered a retreat, and the team retreated in an orderly manner.
Ever since he reached the city gate, this guy had been taking command there and not entering the city, preventing Diao Si from carrying out his plan to assassinate her. Because she has learned her previous lessons, Diao Si now pays more attention to commanding the battlefield, so let her live a little longer.
Although more than a thousand enemies were killed and injured, with the consumption of ammunition and the enemy figuring out his defensive strategy, this is not the time to celebrate, because since the enemy knows their deployment in this way, they will have corresponding methods. Siege, from another perspective their losses are valuable.
"Adjust the strategy, adjust it immediately... Push the second city wall back twice as far, and change the positions of all the artillery and archery teams... "
Taking advantage of the enemy's retreat, Diao Si immediately ordered to adjust his strategy. Although this would not change his entire combat deployment, it would at least change the distribution of the troops that the enemy knew about.
After the siege failed, the people from the Hengxi Empire stopped to rest. This surprised Diao Si, because he knew that they had to capture the Everblood Imperial City within a limited time, so how could they stop so comfortably.
Then Diao Si actually saw a support team from the Hengxi Empire appear. At first, Diao Si was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. Then he confirmed that this support team was actually the logistics force that came to deliver food and take away the wounded.
Diao Si used his refraction magic again and soon found a base camp town of the Hengxi Empire. It turns out that their base camp is not far from here. The Hengxi Empire's invasion of the Hengxue Empire this time is also like Diao Si's attack on the Chidong Empire, which means full occupation.
This elite army is specifically responsible for fighting, and there are a large number of troops behind it to deal with post-war matters, including providing logistical assistance to the elite troops fighting. This is the experience and habit of the long-term melee in the north.
This gave Diao Si another idea. If he could get past the elite troops of the Hengxi Empire and attack their base camp in the rear, he might be able to force them to retreat.
But that town is too far away from here, and Diao Si's long-range cannon can't hit that far. For the time being, this can only be an idea. At present, he still has to think about how to continue to support it with such a small amount of ammunition.
The enemy came again. As expected, they couldn't rest for too long, so they just had a meal and were about to attack again. Moreover, Diao Si knew that their commander-in-chief and generals had been studying ways to attack the city, and it was estimated that the style of attack would change this time.
"Brothers of the Blazing Empire, continue to support us. After fending off this wave of enemy attacks, our dragon team will arrive here. At that time, we will directly blast them back to the Hengxi Empire!"
Diao Si shouted loudly to boost morale, but this effect was no longer as good as before, because the ammunition they had left might not even be able to stop this wave of enemy attacks. (To be continued)
