The army of sand thieves was raging everywhere in Izumo County, but the surroundings of Yunxia City were peaceful and peaceful for a while!
Countless groups of sand thieves, large and small, are running around in the land thousands of miles away from the border, but none of them can get close to Yunxia City. The reason for this is naturally because Kong Ming and his Yu Lin Army played a big role!
Kong Ming fought in all directions, seemingly irregularly, but in fact he kept the army of sand pirates away from Yunxia City. Otherwise, the two lords would not think that Yunxia City is the place that Kong Ming must save!
It's hard to tell now whether Kong Ming deliberately set up such a false impression, leaving the Sand Bandits army with no choice but to set up an ambush in Yunxia City! If you think about it carefully, with Kong Ming's resourcefulness, it is not impossible for him to do such a thing. If everything is within Kong Ming's plan, then the two masters have their own means to suppress the situation, so why doesn't Kong Ming not have it
Is it possible for ordinary people to guess what Kong Ming planned
For He Muhua, who is stationed in Yunxia City, he receives numerous battle reports every day, but none of them are related to Yunxia City. This is really quite frustrating for He Muhua, who is eager to make contributions on the battlefield. Somewhat unbearable. If it weren't for the responsibility of being stationed in a place, He Muhua would really like to be like Kong Ming, leading an army out of the city to have a good fight with those nasty sand bandits!
After He Muhua and Kong Ming sat down to discuss Taoism, they gained a new understanding of the method of battle formation. When Kong Ming could not go out to train the Yulin Army in seclusion, He Muhua also tried to use new methods to train the main force under his command. My self-feeling is quite effective. The only thing missing now is an opportunity to practice!
He Muhua was confident and felt that if he used his main force to fight against the Sand Bandits, then the Sand Bandits, who had no military discipline to speak of, would definitely not be their opponents, but they would not be able to create a mythical record like the Yulin Army.
He obviously felt that the combat effectiveness of his army had been greatly improved, but it was quite a helpless thing that some sand bandits with no eyesight broke into Yunxia City, giving He Muhua a chance to test his strength.
However, He Muhua soon became helpless because that day he received an urgent report from a sentry rider that an army of sand pirates was heading towards Yunxia City to kill!
It stands to reason that He Muhua, who has always been thirsty for battle, should have happily led his army to attack when he heard that the sand bandit army was coming. But this time, He Muhua looked solemn and began to consider whether to abandon Bingyi and directly retreat the entire army to Yunxia City for defense!
The reason for this is naturally because the army of sand pirates that attacked this time was too large, with a total of 600,000 people!
The total strength of He Muhua's main force that can participate in the battle is only about 100,000. How can it compete with the 600,000 sand bandits? Even if He Muhua is confident that the combat effectiveness of his troops has been greatly improved, it is impossible for him to still have the confidence to win when the numbers are so disparate.
If these 100,000 defenders had the quality of the Yu Lin Army, then He Muhua wouldn't mind being awe-inspiring and lead his army to counterattack against the sand bandit army. It's a pity that such things can only be done in He Muhua's mind, because even Kong Ming cannot guarantee that he can train a hundred thousand Yulin Army!
The quality of soldiers is one problem, but another problem is that the more soldiers and horses there are, the harder it is to ensure the precision of the formations. If the "eight formations" cannot be laid out on the battlefield, then the Yulin Army will be nothing more than How could it be possible for a group of elite soldiers who were just slightly stronger than ordinary soldiers to create mythical achievements
Six hundred thousand enemy troops came straight from the front. Such pressure was not something that ordinary generals could bear. In the end, He Muhua made a decision, that is, the entire army abandoned the military post and retreated to Yunxia City!
After all, Yunxia City has formation restrictions to enhance its defense, so it takes much less effort to defend it. Although Bingyi is a fortress, the number of enemy troops is too many. It would take hundreds of thousands of troops to surround Bingyi, so the number of soldiers stationed at Bingyi would be , the final outcome is probably that no one will be spared. In this case, it is better to concentrate on defending Yunxia City and fight these sand bandits to the end!
The most important thing is that as long as Yunxia City can be defended, we can wait for reinforcements!
At least the Yulin Army led by Kong Ming will definitely return to aid Yunxia City.
He Muhua recognized that the Yulin Army's combat effectiveness was indeed amazing, but he never dared to imagine that a mere 800 Yulin Army could defeat an army of 600,000 sand pirates. However, as long as the Yulin Army can fight guerrillas on the periphery and make the Sand Bandits army fall into internal and external troubles, defending Yunxia City will not be a problem!
The only question now is whether Yunxia City can hold on until Kong Ming's Yulin Army comes back for reinforcements
He Muhua secretly encouraged himself. If he couldn't even defend Yunxia City, then he was not qualified to be the "famous general" that Kong Ming said. How could he have the face to talk to Kong Ming about how to lead an army
As He Muhua transferred all the 200,000 local defenders back to Yunxia City, the entire Yunxia City immediately entered a state of combat readiness, waiting for the sand bandit army to come over! But what surprised He Muhua was that when the originally menacing army of sand pirates really wanted to attack Yunxia City, it became more urgent and unhurried, and directly surrounded Yunxia City without rushing to attack. What's more, the army of sand bandits occupied Jiuchao and directly used the military post as their temporary headquarters, clearly showing that they wanted to fight a protracted war!
He Muhua is also a veteran of many battles. After seeing this situation, he immediately thought of four words in his mind - surround the point and call for reinforcements!
The purpose of the sand bandit army in such a posture is obvious, that is to set a trap and wait for Kong Ming and his Yulin army to infiltrate it!
He Muhua was anxious and wanted to inform Kong Ming of the news. However, now that the entire Yunxia City is under siege and no one knows where Kong Ming is, how can the news be conveyed to him
He Muhua couldn't think of a solution, so he had to visit the Confucius Mansion to see if the people in the Confucius Mansion had any special way to contact Kong Ming.
Since Kong Ming led the army to the expedition, it was Mo Yue who was in charge of the affairs of the Kong Mansion. At this time, she was calm when facing He Muhua, and said with a smile: "General He, don't worry, as long as you can protect Yunxia City. As for my young master, I have already given instructions before leaving the city that there is no need to worry about his safety, and the enemy's move to set up an ambush has long been expected by the young master, and he has his own way to deal with it!"
He Muhua was a little doubtful after hearing this, because he didn't quite believe that Kong Ming could predict events to such an extent. However, he has no other choice now but to believe it.
He Muhua has a lot of experience in defending the city. What's more, after receiving Kong Ming's advice, Yunxia City has produced a lot of sharp weapons for city defense. It's just right to use these sand thieves to test their power!
The army of sand pirates surrounded Yunxia City. Although they wanted to set up an ambush against Kong Ming, another important task was to capture Yunxia City. Therefore, their siege was not just a show. After resting for a long time, they finally launched the first attack. Wave offensive!
The army of sand pirates also know Yunxia City relatively well. They know that this majestic city is high in the north and low in the south. As long as they launch an offensive from the south, they will be more likely to capture Yunxia City. So, five teams of ten thousand people armed with various siege equipment launched an attack on Nancheng. As for the remaining city walls, attacks were naturally launched at the same time. However, such attacks were just detailed attacks. The purpose was to contain the defenders of Yunxia City. The real main attack area was the southern city wall.
According to the wishful thinking of the sand bandit army, even if the first round of siege cannot really capture Yunxia City, it can still put great pressure on the defenders of Yunxia City. But in fact, the defenders of Yunxia City were quite easy to defend. At least, if the sand bandit army didn't go all out, they would never be able to capture Yunxia City.
The reason for this is naturally because the city defense equipment Kong Ming proposed to make played a great role.
For example, the bed crossbow designed by Kong Ming is quite different from the traditional bed crossbow on Tianyuan Continent. It only needs one person to operate it, and there is a turntable installed under the bed crossbow and placed on the city head, so that the direction can be adjusted very freely. Just put a giant crossbow arrow as thick as a human arm and almost two meters long on the bed crossbow, and then pull the trigger to shoot out the giant crossbow. It can penetrate gold and stone within five hundred steps. It is really powerful!
A soldier operating a bed crossbow can shoot at least ten giant crossbows in the time it takes a stick of incense to shoot. Moreover, it is condescending on the top of the city and has a longer range. Many of the siege equipment launched by the sand bandits have not had time to reach the city wall. , had been shot to pieces by the bed crossbow. In this way, the sand bandit army can only set up a few ladders to attack the city. How can it achieve very good results
Besides, Kong Ming also designed a defensive instrument called the "Fire Dragon Spear". As long as the end of the "Fire Dragon Spear" is squeezed, a stream of fire oil can be sprayed out, and it will burn into pillars of fire in an instant. It only needs to be fired. Once, you can turn a ladder into a "fire ladder"!
Under the suppression of such sharp city defense equipment, how could the army of sand pirates get a favor? The first wave of attacks lasted less than an hour, and the Sand Bandits had to call for gold and withdraw their troops, leaving thousands of corpses under Yunxia City in vain.
After winning the first battle, the entire Yunxia City was naturally filled with cheers. Even He Muhua breathed a sigh of relief!
Facts have proved that not only did Kong Ming train his troops well, but the equipment he designed to defend the city was also so powerful that he completely suppressed the enemy. Since Kong Ming is so powerful, it is not so easy for these sand bandits to set up a trap against him. Maybe he really made arrangements in advance
The attack of the sand bandits was able to be blocked without using the city protection restrictions, which made the city defense even more confident!
