Chapter 803 to 804, Surrender(1/2)
Although Wei Dagang and his men had never experienced the siege, they knew a little better than a young man like Tao Hongjun.
"Siege?"
Tao Hongjun was a little confused, but at this time, no one paid attention to him. The enemy was less than two kilometers away from Maocaocheng.
"Iron cannon, giant crossbow attack freely!"
With Cheng Kong's order, the iron cannons placed on the top of the city began to roar, and solid iron shells were sprayed out from the muzzle and fell towards the rushing enemy. In a blink of an eye, more than a dozen raiders rushing in front were smashed into meat sauce by the shells.
Two giant crossbows produced from the forging room were squeezing the strings and arrows under the operation of a group of spearmen. With the vibration of the bowstrings, two crossbow arrows as thick as spears shot out from the giant crossbow, drawing an arc in the air, and then dived down, and a series of sounds of puffs directly strung several spearmen on the crossbow arrows.
Seeing this bloody scene, Tao Hongjun couldn't help feeling disgusted, but even if he wanted to vomit, he couldn't vomit.
He watched with shock as the shells fell down and took the lives of the other soldier. His mind was in chaos and he didn't know what to do.
As the enemy continued to advance, under the leadership of Tao Dagang and others, waves of arrows mixed with the holy light balls fired by the priest fell towards the enemy's head.
At this time, the enemy knights saw their subordinates falling down in the rain of arrows, and couldn't help but raise their rifles. With a roar, a blue light suddenly rose from it and spread out quickly, wrapping up the entire army.
After the water-blue light dissipated, it immediately attached to all the troops, causing circles of blue halos to appear on these troops.
“Group prayer?”
Cheng Kong recognized the origin of this ability, which really surprised him. After all, the Prayer is a level 4 spell that can fully enhance strength, defense, and speed. If you want to release the Prayer group, then the wisdom technique must at least be at the level of an expert.
Cheng Kong's current wisdom technique is intermediate, and he is still one level away from the expert level.
Obviously, this knight general cannot have expert-level wisdom. It is possible if he is a priest general, so this may only be the talent of the other party's general.
To be honest, such a general's talent is very suitable for war.
It can be seen from those enemy troops.
When the blue halo emerged from them, their running speed suddenly increased by more than two-thirds. The griffins flying in the sky had even dived towards the city wall, trying to kill the two giant crossbows that were most threatening, and the damage caused by the rain of arrows on their heads was reduced a lot.
The previous two waves of arrow rain killed at least more than 30 spearmen. With the release of this group of prayer techniques, the arrow rain fell, and most of the spearmen were injured and not killed.
Because the fire-sending monsters were brought back to their respective cities by Toyotomi Koji, the old horses were brought back to their respective cities, and there were only more than 200 archers in thatched city.
More than twenty griffins pounced down, causing the archers and priests to attack the griffins to turn, causing the archers led by the knight to quickly advance into the range, and then launched a counterattack on the city wall, covering the city wall with waves of arrows.
The knight led the spearmen to rush towards the city wall with one horse. With a loud bang, the knight's rifle pierced into the city wall fiercely, breaking a big hole in the city wall.
However, due to the thickness of the city wall, even if the knight has the strongest power, it is impossible for him to penetrate the city wall directly.
Cheng Kong did not join the battle directly and ordered the city gate to be opened. As the city gate opened, teams of spearmen and swordsmen flocked out, and the more than 20 griffins that pounced on the city wall were soon surrounded by griffins from thatched city.
More than twenty to more than one hundred, a completely disproportionate number. Even those griffins enjoyed the bonus of group prayer, but surrounded by griffins that far exceed their own, they soon fell like raindrops.
The archers and priests on the city walls and arrow towers soon began to support the pikes and swordsmen who had left the city.
After the gunmen and swordsmen in Maocao City left the city, the troops were divided into two groups. The gunmen rushed straight to the archers, while the swordsmen surrounded the gunmen who attacked the city wall.
Suddenly there was a shout of killing, and the sound of weapons colliding, and the two sides entered a white-hot battle.
But the gap in strength between the two sides was too big. When the swordsman in Maocao City was fighting with the enemy spearmen, the knight was able to use his own strength to ensure that the situation was not inferior. However, as the spearmen approached the archers, the knight had no choice but to give up the battle with a large group of swordsmen and rode his horse towards the spearmen surrounding the archers.
"charge!"
The knight who activated his charge ability raised his horse to the highest speed in a blink of an eye, pointed his long rifle forward, and rushed into the group of spearmen within a few seconds, breaking all the way. Within one shot, at least twenty spearmen were killed.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Kong knew that this knight was exhausted.
In such a critical moment, the army led by him can only release one charge ability. It seems that he does not have a stronger special ability.
"kill!"
After Cheng Kong shouted violently, he jumped directly towards the knight from the city wall.
Seeing Cheng Kong's actions, Tao Hongjun couldn't help but scream, "Is this man crazy?" Why did he jump off the city wall?"
You must know that this city wall is more than 20 meters high!
If it falls, it may also cause death.
But Cheng Kong was not as fragile as Tao Hongjun imagined. When he was in mid-air, he pulled out the serrated sword with his right hand, and rushed to the knight in a blink of an eye. The serrated sword was raised high above the top, and all his strength was poured into the sword and slashed straight down. A sword light then penetrated from the serrated sword.
If this sword hits, the knight will probably die on the spot.
With Cheng Kong's current strength, he suddenly attacked. Not to mention this knight, even the terrifying knight general underground would have a sword to turn from a dead person to a corpse.
But the knight was cruel enough. Seeing that he could not face Cheng Kong's sword head-on, he actually threw out the rifle in his hand. He rolled directly from the war horse to the ground, and a donkey rolled over to avoid Cheng Kong's sword.
Cheng Kong slashed the sword, and then slashed the strong war horse in half. Suddenly, a pool of steaming blood spurted out from the split war horse's body and pounced towards Cheng Kong's head-on cover.
Cheng Kong opened his mouth and exclaimed. A flame spurted out of his mouth, burning the blood that was coming to ashes. Suddenly, a stinking smell of hair drifted in the air.
"I surrender!"
Before Cheng Kong could turn around and raise his sword to chase the knight again, the knight actually made an action beyond Cheng Kong's expectations.
It actually knelt down to Cheng Kong and lay on the ground, with its palm facing upwards, and surrendered continuously.
Although Cheng Kong was a little surprised, he was not worried that the other party would surrender. Although the generals in this heroic world had much higher intelligence than ordinary troops, they were not as high as those of ordinary troops.
And as the knight general surrendered, the archers and snatchers who were fighting stubbornly stopped resisting and lay on the ground.
With the enemy's surrender, the army of Forage City also stopped killing and surrounded them.
"Okay, I accept your surrender."
As this sentence came out, a plan diagram of the Forage City appeared in Cheng Kong's mind, and a general option appeared in the place where the number of troops was marked below.
Cheng Kong pointed his mind gently, and the general option was expanded immediately.
Knight General: Rassis.
General Talent: Group Prayer.
Ability: Charge, high morale.
It turns out that this knight general is called Rassis?
Cheng Kong nodded. After Rassis surrendered, all his troops under him were taken over by Maocaocheng. At this time, he was mixing with the troops of Maocaocheng and returning to the city gate.
In Cheng Kong's opinion, this knight general is more suitable for leading troops to fight, which is not bad. Cheng Kong was worried that after he left, no one would guard the Thaw City in Li Guanxi, Murong Xue, Zhou Li, and Yang Tian before entering the hero world.
Although Wei Dagang looked good, Cheng Kong did not have such courage to entrust the important task of defending the city before he evolved into the Tripole Army.
Now, after conquering Rassis, there are finally someone in this thatched city that can keep guarding the city.
Of course, when these new heroes grow up and take turns to defend the city, the situation will be better, and they will not worry about the safety of the city after leaving the hero world.
Seeing Cheng Kong, who was full of murderous aura, walking towards the palace with the knight, Tao Hongjun did not dare to follow him, and then he immediately put the target of his advice on Wei Dagang.
Up to now, Tao Hongjun has completely believed what Cheng Kong said before and has come to a magical and extremely cruel world.
Wei Dagang did not refuse the newcomer's advice. After all, such a thing gave him the pleasure of becoming a veteran, and the other newcomer heroes also felt a little proud when they saw the newcomer coming. No matter what, some people are worse than themselves, which should be considered a good thing.
What's more, when Tao Hongjun saw a group of snatchers standing behind Wei Dagang and others with orders, his admiration reached a climax. For a moment, a variety of flatteries slapped Wei Dagang and others, making the few people smiled happily.
Not to mention that Tao Hongjun asked several seniors for their questions, Cheng Kong took Narasis back to the palace and carefully asked about the origin of the army of Rasis.
Since Rassis had surrendered, the object of his loyalty immediately changed from the previous city to the thatched city. Therefore, Cheng Kong said whatever he asked, and he could say everything he knew.
Soon, Cheng Kong learned a lot of things from Lasis.
It turned out that the army of Rassis came from a castle-type city called the Red Griffon, which you can actually know at the sight of its flag.
This city called Red Griffon is located in the southwest of Thatched City, which is deviated in some directions from Chengkong's original mother city.
Lassi couldn't tell the distance between the two cities. It was probably because the entire army marched for more than four months before discovering the Thatched City.
During this period, we encountered many wild animals attacks, and the total strength was lost by about 50%. Otherwise, the strength of the troops attacking Maocao City would be doubled.
When Rashis left the city, this Red Griffin City was a medium-sized city, but it was already preparing for promotion and collected a lot of resources. Therefore, even Rashis couldn't explain clearly what the situation was in Red Griffin City at this time.
Medium-sized city? Cheng Kong was a little strange. Since it was a medium-sized city, the most advanced army should be level five. As a general, why did Rashis bring a group of griffins and archers out?
Regarding Cheng Kong's question, Rassis couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Master, as a medium-sized city, there are more than a few generals, there are 18 generals in total, and I am the weakest one."
Then Rassis explained all the situations in the Red Griffon City.
It turns out that the eighteen generals in the Red Griffin City are not equal in status. The strongest one is the city lord, a swordsman general, five deputy city lords, including priest generals, archer generals, and spearmen generals, followed by ordinary generals like Rassis.
The city lord controls 80% of the city ownership, while the five deputy city lords control the remaining 20%. Therefore, ordinary generals like Rassis have no ownership, and thus have a low status.
In addition to the eighteen generals in the Red Griffon City, there are two sub-cities under the Red Griffon City, and each sub-city has a general guarding it.
This time, Lasis went to the fortress city, which was chosen by the city lord, so he naturally could not refuse, and the strongest army he gave was the griffin.
Could it be that in this hero world, we also use knives to kill people?
It was obvious that Rassis could not see this, so he eventually had to surrender to Cheng Kong.
Of course, this is also an opportunity for Rassis. If you encounter a weak city, you may conquer it and become one of the sub-cities under the Red Griffon City. Rassis can also become the city lord of the sub-cities and control forty percent of ownership. Of course, the remaining 60% of ownership belongs to the Red Griffon City Lord.
This is also one of the strategies that the Red Griffin City Lord encouraged his subordinates to expand their territory.
After listening to Rassis' introduction, Cheng Kong was a little confused. The Red Griffin City Lord was just a swordsman general. How could he be more powerful than a knight general like Rassis?
However, Rassis quickly solved Cheng Kong's doubts.
The reason is very simple. Although the Red Griffin City Lord is just a swordsman general, his general talent is much stronger than other generals. It is said that he can summon two angels to join the battle.
To be continued...
