Three hundred miles away.
The vanguard of Dashang did not continue to march.
Their biggest task is not to attack the enemy first, but to patrol the enemy's situation and maintain the marching safety of the rear army.
at night.
Gancheng.
Dozens of top-level golden eagles and more than 100 high-level golden eagles were dispatched to Dashang's rear army in Baiyue.
Under each golden eagle's claws, there is a rope hanging. Under the rope, there is either a person connected, or a pile of explosives.
this night.
In the army behind the big merchant, the sound of explosives kept ringing out.
However, Da Shang did not have a way to deal with it. Dozens of golden eagles flew with top archers and shot at the big golden eagles with one arrow.
I didn't notice it for a while, and in order to maintain the balance of the people below, some golden eagles were shot. Because some of the golden eagles had accidents, some people under the golden eagles also fell to the ground, so a few golden eagles fell fall together.
Fortunately, for the enemy's golden eagle, Dagan is also prepared.
The people under the Daqian Golden Eagle also have top archers, and with bows and arrows, they immediately shoot at each other.
At the same time, many golden eagles without people and belongings attacked the enemy's golden eagles one after another.
At the same time as several golden eagles were shot, these top golden eagles and high-level golden eagles also flew into the enemy's golden eagle group. Immediately, the enemy's golden eagle group was in chaos.
It is too easy for those top-level golden eagles and high-level golden eagles without people and things to deal with these big merchant golden eagles with people hanging on them.
In the blink of an eye, the golden eagles were caught and killed by them.
One by one, the top archers of Dashang fell from the sky.
It is a pity that because the time and circumstances of the golden eagle's death and injury are different, many top archers do not descend too fast when a small number of golden eagles try their best to fly.
Otherwise, at an altitude of several hundred meters, these top archers will definitely be smashed into meatloaf.
However, in general, in this golden eagle war, the golden eagles of Daqian easily suppressed the golden eagles of Dashang.
To fight is to fight people.
Similarly, in air combat, the fight is also about the quantity and quality of golden eagles.
In this regard, Li Yi is not afraid.
Golden eagles with people are not so easy to cultivate. Li Yi knows very well that there are not many big merchants of this kind of golden eagles.
Once the golden eagles of Dashang are wiped out, and Dashang loses its air power, the power of those explosives will be greatly reduced. What else do you want to do with Dashang?It's too hard!
this night.
Dashang lost at least 20 golden eagles.
At the same time, they failed to defend against the explosive packages of Dagan's air raids.
The entire army was blown upside down.
the next morning.
The leader of the Great Merchant Army listened to the losses reported by his subordinates with a very ugly expression on his face.
"According to the original plan, we divided our troops into [-] groups and headed quickly to Gancheng. After we got close, we also used the golden eagle to attack the opponent by air."
For a moment, the leader said in a deep voice.
The soldiers were divided into thirty groups.
When setting up camp, spread out a little more.
In this way, the power of the enemy's air strikes will be greatly reduced.
To put it bluntly, with an army of more than 30, even if the opponent is allowed to kill and attack back and forth, it may take the opponent a long time.
And they, at most three days, can rush to Gancheng.
"Notify the vanguard and let them pay attention to the actions of Gancheng. Once a small number of people come out, they can intercept and kill themselves!"
After a pause, the leader of the great merchant army said again.
The first step is to divide the troops.
The second step is to stare at the opponent's city to prevent the opponent from using high-end power to carry out ground sneak attacks.
Chapter 2 The army is besieging the city, and wars are everywhere!
Two waves of powerful special forces headed for the Hengling Mountains, but only a dozen people escaped.
The Great Shang Dynasty Hall was also very shocked.
There were nearly a hundred top-ranking fierce generals in the army, each of whom was like a pinnacle of Dinghai, and there were nearly a thousand high-level elites, but only a dozen of them escaped?
The war in Baiyue has already begun. More than [-] top generals are placed in Baiyue, minus the top generals who are suppressing all over the place, and the top generals necessary for the important guardian land. The entire big business can be transferred at will There are not too many top characters.
In the past few months, Dashang has obtained a large number of legendary natural treasures, vigorously cultivated high-level figures, and cultivated many top masters, plus the top masters selected by the people, otherwise, this battle will make Das Shang's high-end strength was seriously injured.
How many more people will be sent in?
Are you sure you can take that place?
"Your Majesty, we have already alarmed the bandits in the Hengling Mountains. Even if we take that place, they will definitely destroy those legendary treasures in advance, why not?"
A minister bowed his hands.
November eleventh.
night.
A large number of golden eagles flew from Dashang territory to Calabash Valley.
This is the golden eagle team of Dashang. They wanted to attack Calabash Valley by air, but they were discovered by the golden eagles in Calabash Valley.
An aerial battle ensues.
After each suffered damage, Dashang's air strike failed.
November twelve.
day.
A fire ignited from all over the Hengling Mountains and quickly spread towards the Calabash Valley.
"How dare the big merchant do this?!"
Baiyue, Gancheng, after receiving the news, Zhao Ergou said in shock.
"This great merchant emperor has courage!"
Li Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and said calmly.
His career as an emperor has been promoted to the top level, he can easily manage a billion people, and his various horizons have improved a lot. He is not too surprised by this, but he feels that this great merchant emperor is very courageous.
Water and fire are ruthless.
In the face of the fire, the top experts are helpless.
Under such a big fire, with poisonous smoke raging, it is not certain whether Calabash Valley can still guarantee safety.
at this time.
In Baiyue, 30 elite soldiers have surrounded Gancheng.
On the way the Great Merchants army came to Gancheng, Li Yi also sent some troops and golden eagles to harass them continuously, but they did not cause much damage to the enemy. Even Li Yi couldn't handle it well.
The number of soldiers in the big cadres is small, and the overall strength is weak. This is a weakness.
It's not that Li Yi doesn't upgrade a large number of junior and intermediate characters, but that the enemy's ordinary soldiers are all elites equivalent to intermediate characters, and the number is as high as 30. In addition, all kinds of equipment are very sophisticated. However, the number of opponents cannot be increased in a short period of time.
Even if he wants to upgrade high-level equipment, he must have enough low-level equipment to upgrade.
There is a big gap in strength between soldiers with equipment and those without equipment, especially after a certain scale has been formed.
If Dagan does not have a lot of high-end power, it is easy to be targeted and slaughtered by the enemy's high-end power.
Li Yi didn't want Dagan to cause such a large number of casualties.
November thirteen.
The merchant army tried to attack the city.
How much nature comes, how much dies!
The moat of more than 70 meters makes it difficult for the opponent to cross. Attacking the city from a narrow place, the elite soldiers of the city will play a role. There are also a large number of super powerful crossbows and bed crossbows, all of which have powerful lethality.
As the saying goes, if you kill one thousand enemies, you will lose eight hundred.
Naturally, many soldiers in Gancheng were killed or injured.
However, most of them were injured, because Li Yi used the healing technique to hang himself in advance. There were not many people who died, only a few dozen, and there were hundreds of injured people. Li Yi healed all of them.
This is the advantage of Daqian!
On the other hand, big merchants suffered more casualties!
Roughly estimated, there were at least five hundred dead and more than three thousand injured!
Among them, the top figures of Daqian and the super powerful crossbow and bed crossbow played a big role!
Defending the city has an advantage!
The siege party usually takes their lives to fill in!
"The opponent has too many masters, and there are many super powerful crossbows and bed crossbows. For our masters, the threat is too great and it is difficult to attack."
"The defensive layout of this city even surpasses the defensive layout of the capital. It is hard to imagine. This is a city built in a few months. There are capable people in the opponent's team. We are facing a big enemy this time. Dozens An Enemy Never Before"
"It's hard to attack by force. We can only try other methods. For example, the killers we sent to make meritorious deeds, or besieged and not attacked, let them cut off their own food and grass. It is said that this city has a population of millions, and the food needed every day is a huge amount. , Baiyue is short of food, and those cattle, horses and sheep have no grass and water, so it is difficult to survive, within a month, it may be self-defeating."
"The moat of this city is drawn from a nearby river. We can cut off that river."
"We can attack Xuncheng, which is two hundred miles away. It is said that the city has not been built yet, and the defenses must be weak. There are also many people in that city. Or we can attack Qinglongzhai and see if the people in Gancheng can't be rescued." save"
In the army of great merchants, one by one high-ranking officials were discussing strategies against the enemy.
November fourteen.
The great merchant army did not attack the city.
November fifteenth.
The great merchant army sent some people to block the river.
Moreover, the large merchant army began to make siege equipment.
At the same time, a large number of traps were set up outside the city, as if to trap the people in Gancheng inside.
Li Yi didn't pay attention to these.
Because this battle had been expected, Li Yi asked the people of Qinglongzhai to help them collect a large amount of grain and grass a few months ago. In addition, the 30 mu of grain harvested earlier made the people of Gancheng , only eat grain, and there is no problem in eating for two months.
Coupled with the large amount of marinated meat in reserve, there is no problem in eating it for three months.
The only concern might be the safety of Xun City.
When Gancheng was built, it was designed to accommodate a population of 100 million. It is not impossible to temporarily accommodate 200 million people, but it is a bit crowded, coupled with strategic issues, Li Yi did not let all the population of Xuncheng move to Gancheng, but Moved a part.
However, all the people in Qinglongzhai moved to Xuncheng.
Li Yi gave up an area of Xuncheng to the people of Qinglongzhai.
Otherwise, the city of Qinglongzhai in the depths of Baiyue would not be as good as the unbuilt defense facilities of Xuncheng.
Fighting on two fronts, okay.
If you fight on the third front, it will be difficult to take care of.
The main reason is that Qinglongzhai's strength is too weak compared to the large merchant's conquest army.
Every night, Li Yi still sent a large number of golden eagles to carry out air raids on the enemy, which made the enemy exhausted. They lived in a very tense state every day, for fear that one day when they were sleeping, a dynamite package would fall from the sky and blow them up.
Dashang's golden eagle team is no match for Dagan's golden eagle team at all. The air strikes tried and tested by other forces are useless against Dagan. Even at night, their golden eagle team can't fly. Throwing explosives over the city is naturally impossible.
Now, the top leaders of the big merchants' conquest army only hope that one day the explosives in Gancheng will run out.
November sixteenth.
