Chapter 167 Attack!
Go out of the city to meet the enemy?
Liu Feng, who was in charge of Bo'an City's defense at this time, had no such idea at all.
The order he received was just to hold on, and it was just to hold on to an attack from the enemy.
In other words, Zhang Chengwang sent Feng Wu to lead 200,000 Zhu Yan soldiers to attack the city. He only needed to defend these 200,000, and his mission would be considered completed.
Not only is it completed, it is also a great achievement.
Zheng Yuanyun had strict orders when he evacuated Bo'an City, not allowing Liu Feng to take any more actions without authorization. In short, it was eight words: don't pursue the enemy when he retreats, and defend when the enemy advances.
And this defense is also a measured defense.
Zheng Yuanyun once warned Liu Feng that he must not let the other party feel that Bo'an City is still impregnable, and he must reveal a flaw in the smallest detail.
Do you want to stick to it, or expose your flaws?
The enemy must not easily find this flaw.
It really made Liu Feng think a lot.
After much deliberation, he finally decided to start with the word persistence.
Then stick to it!
As long as someone comes to attack, he will defend and hold on tightly. Other than that, he will never do anything extra.
It is not easy for the more than a thousand people under the city to cut off the fine iron chains connecting the suspension bridge under the fierce attack, and what if they are allowed to cut down the suspension bridge?
After cutting down the suspension bridge, the enemy was bound to launch a new round of offensive, but this new round of offensive was no longer within Liu Feng's responsibilities.
What he is responsible for is only the first wave of attacks.
When the Zhu Yan Empire attacks again, Liu Feng can already retreat.
As for the time of retreat, there is no problem.
The suspension bridge fell, but the main city gate was still closed. In fact, Liu Feng had already ordered people to seal the main city gate. It would take some time for the enemy to break through the main city gate.
Furthermore, he did not just ask all the defenders to withdraw at once. If the enemy wanted to attack, they had to be prepared for attacks from the city tower. They pushed up the siege ram step by step, and then broke through the city gate against the attacks of the remaining soldiers.
Such a long time was enough for him to lead the large army to flee. The remaining soldiers could have raised their flags and surrendered as soon as the city gate was breached.
Liu Feng had already arranged the follow-up plan. The main city gate, which was regarded as the gate of life at all times, had become an existence that could be abandoned at this time.
"Come on! Brothers, work harder!"
Zhu Yan's stormtroopers were gritting their teeth under the fierce attack. The commander responsible for leading them had long been killed. Now everyone could only encourage each other to move forward step by step.
Of the nearly two thousand stormtroopers who washed ashore, less than eight hundred were left dead, but the sacrifice was not in vain. They finally... touched the fine iron chains that bound the suspension bridge!
cut!
More than 500 people held up giant shields, completely blocking the sides of the suspension bridge. There were less than 300 people inside who threw their shields, pulled out extremely sharp axes from their waists, and frantically slashed at the chains as thick as adult thighs.
.
The clinking sounds of felling under the city wall were continuous, and each sound made the soldiers of Zhu Yan's charge even more excited. Wasn't it just for this moment that so many brothers died?
The soldiers who were chopping the chains had ferocious expressions on their faces. They wielded their axes and struck the chains with all their strength, as if they had the hatred of killing their father or taking away their wives.
"Master Coach, look..."
At Zhu Yan's base camp, when the generals on the watchtower saw this, they couldn't help showing excitement, and they all turned their eyes to where Zhang Cheng was watching.
The coach is right, there is indeed something strange over there in Bo'an City!
If this trend continues, it will only be a matter of time before the moat suspension bridge is cut down. As soon as the suspension bridge falls...
Compared with the excitement of everyone, Zhang Chengwang's expression was much calmer.
"Master Coach, this opportunity cannot be missed!"
Seeing that Zhang Chengwang was unmoved, the generals eagerly spoke out, fearing that they would miss this great opportunity.
If the opposing commander reacts, opens the city gate and annihilates the stormtroopers, this great opportunity with human lives will be wasted!
"Why are you panicking?"
Zhang Chengwang glanced at the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on the faces of Guo Zi and Du Jun. He waved his hand and motioned for the confidants who were restraining them to disperse.
"When do you think Wenshan will arrive?"
Zhang Chengwang stared at the two of them and asked calmly.
Guo Zi replied: "General Ruan said that he would break out from the east. When the villain led his people from Xiyun City, General Ruan also led his army on the road. Calculating the time, it should be here in one or two days!
"
These remarks had already been reported to Zhang Chengwang, and it was even more familiar to mention them again at this time.
"Pity."
Zhang Chengwang shook his head, "If he doesn't come back, wouldn't this be a great achievement?"
Without further explanation, he turned to the generals, his face suddenly became stern, and he shouted: "Send the order, the army will attack the city!"
"yes!"
The generals who had been waiting for this order were overjoyed. They all straightened their bodies, accepted the order with their hands in hand, and rushed to the bottom of the tower.
The previous stalemate was one thing, but now, everyone can see that there seems to be something wrong with Bo'an City. The strong city wall that was originally unbreakable in everyone's eyes has become a piece of fat that anyone can rush up and tear off.
.
Who doesn’t want the opportunity to make meritorious deeds?
Seeing the generals descending the tower, Guo Zi and Du Jun's expressions remained unchanged, but a huge stone fell to the ground in their hearts.
This thing is done!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Guo Zi bowed to Zhang Chengwang and said: "Master coach, if nothing happens, I would like to go and meet General Ruan!"
Zhang Chengwang glanced at him and waved his hand, "Go ahead. Wenshan has made great contributions to this matter. If he can come back in time, it would be good to get another share of the pie."
He thought that Guo Zinai was Ruan Wenshan's subordinate. Seeing that great achievements were expected at this moment, there was no reason for him not to be in a hurry. He probably wanted to find Ruan Wenshan back quickly and gain some credit in the siege.
Zhang Chengwang is not a stingy person. Of course, he is very clear about the desire of the soldiers to make meritorious deeds. Since the development of the situation is corroborated by the intelligence of Guo Zi and his two men, it does not matter that the suspicion of these two men can be cleared.
Guo Zi and Du Jun looked at each other, nodded slightly, and at the same time asked Zhang Chengwang to resign, and then went down to the tower. Only the coach Zhu Yan was left at the top of the tower to look at the overall situation.
As for Zhang Chengwang...
Combining the intelligence from Guo Zi and the situation he saw, Zhang Chengwang could probably guess the current situation in Bo'an City, and it was based on this guess that the generals attacked the city with all their strength.
Based on the current situation, Bo'an City seems to have been conquered, which is undoubtedly good news for Zhang Chengwang, but...
Things seem a little too smooth?
Vaguely, Zhang Chengwang always felt that something was wrong, but when he really thought about it carefully, he couldn't think of anything.
This vague feeling makes Zhang Chengwang feel uneasy but...
Chapter completed!
