"Sir, our brothers have suffered heavy losses!"

The generals who were watching the battle at the rear saw that when the one hundred thousand soldiers rushed forward, not even a single splash of water was splashed, but corpses were scattered all over the field. They couldn't help but feel their eyes splitting, and they all turned their attention to Zheng Yuanyun.

Their soldiers are elite, and the quality of their soldiers is higher than that of their opponents, but no matter how high they are, they can't reach the point where they can pick up boulders with their bare hands, right?

Now the two sides are not fighting on the plains, but are engaged in siege warfare. As the siege party, there is no geographical advantage. If they continue to be beaten like this, the 100,000 soldiers will be completely annihilated!

Zheng Yuanyun glanced at the generals and said coldly: "Isn't there no loss in the war? Otherwise, you can ask the other side to surrender."

"this……"

One sentence left everyone speechless.

In fact, their original intention is not to care about the loss of soldiers. To put it bluntly, they have the right to command these soldiers, but they have no ownership rights. All soldiers are owned by the empire, and they can only be seconded when there is a war.

.

The soldiers seconded this time are almost impossible to be the same as the next time, so it is not possible to say how much affection there is between the soldiers and the generals.

So this also has a result, that is, most generals don't actually care about the life and death of their soldiers. As long as it is conducive to their own tactical arrangements, even if they need to send a team of people to die, they will not frown.

Wrinkle it.

In this world, if you can become a talented general or a wise counselor, your status will be very high, so high that ordinary civilians can hardly hope to reach it.

But this is only for generals.

For the soldiers at the lowest level, their lives... are worthless.

The population base of the four major empires is huge, and a large number of civilians live in poverty. It is not easy to maintain food and clothing.

If you want to change this situation and you are not qualified to lead an army, then becoming a soldier is the best choice.

If you are lucky enough, you might not encounter a major war from the time you join the army until you retire, but you may just deal with tasks such as suppressing bandits with a very low battle loss rate, and safely support your family with military pay.

And if you are not so lucky...

Just like those soldiers who are charging forward now, they don't know if they will have a whole body after they die, or if they will be able to return to their roots and return to their homeland.

In the eyes of Zheng Yuanyun and most generals, the lives of soldiers are actually just like this: How can there be no losses in a war?

The generals' urgency did not come from the loss of soldiers, but from anxiety about the lack of progress.

After all, they are going deep alone. Until now, they have heard that reinforcements are on the way, but they have not even seen a shadow of them. Therefore, in this case, every force they have on hand will be reduced. Once they are exhausted,

In the end, you will no longer be able to deal with emergencies and will be counterattacked by the enemy, which will outweigh the gains and losses.

How could Zheng Yuanyun not understand what they were thinking?

So after scolding him, he quickly came up with a way to deal with it.

Just this method...

"Pass the order, the reserve of 200,000 stormtroopers will be divided into two wings and continue to attack the city!"

Still...still want to fight?

The generals looked at each other and hesitated for a moment.

Zheng Yuanyun glared and said angrily: "Why, my command as the coach doesn't work?"

"No, no, no... no, that... follow your orders!"

One of the lieutenants shook his body violently and responded quickly, waving his hand to his messenger soldiers to raise the flag.

The battlefield was spread out widely. If Zheng Yuanyun's orders were conveyed by word of mouth, it would be unknown how long it would take before they reached the ears of the combat troops at the front. In this case, semaphores were a very convenient and fast way to transmit messages.

An order is an order, and no one can disobey it. Therefore, even if the front is still screaming, the Qingyang Empire still sends out orders, and a large group of dark soldiers rush out from the two wings, taking Tianyuan in a roundabout way.

On both sides of the city wall.

"Oh? Have you learned to be smart?"

At the top of Tianyuan City, as the saying goes, you can see far when you stand high. The instructions given by Zheng Yuanyun did not escape Ouyang Lixing's eyes. When he saw the opponent split up his troops to attack, he was not frightened. Instead, he smiled slightly and ordered:

"Let them go deeper before starting."

"yes!"

The messenger soldiers under his command responded to the order and hurriedly danced with flags and sent out signals to the left and right.

Generally speaking, because the two ends of the city wall are far away from the city gate, they will not be the first choice of attack directions for the siege.

Furthermore, the defenders of the city will not completely concentrate their forces near the city gate. Although the closer to the city gate there are more troops, the two ends of the city wall are not without any attack power.

On the contrary, the further you go to the end, the more troops there will be.

The reason is that when the city wall reaches the end, it will reach a corner, and there will be soldiers from another wall stationed on the other side of the corner.

Therefore, if you want to steal a chicken and climb to the top of the city wall from both ends, it is also very difficult, and it is like a head-on fight.

But right now, Zheng Yuanyun still has one certain point that he still hasn't figured out.

That is, does Ouyang Lixing really have so many troops in Tianyuan City, or is he just making things up?

He asked the soldiers to attack two locations, and he even deployed a large number of rams in the troops.

These ramming hammers are made from a whole towering tree that is so huge that four or five adults can hug it. Not only is the entire tree trunk soaked with copper oil to prevent fire and increase its sturdiness, but also at the hammer head.

Wrapped in fine iron.

There is a shaft wheel installed under the ram. Normal operation requires a team of twenty or thirty people to push it together. The faster it runs, the stronger the impact on the city gate. The gates of some small cities even

If they can't withstand one or two collisions, they will be knocked to pieces.

Although the ram is mainly used to break through city gates, its huge impact force is still very powerful even if it hits the city wall.

What's more, the city wall outside Tianyuan City was built temporarily after all. Zheng Yuanyun also wanted to see if he could break a few big holes in the wall so that his people could get into the city through the holes.

Based on two plans, Zheng Yuanyun's eyes became busy when the left and right sides launched a surprise attack at the same time.

He looked to the left and then to the right from time to time. Finally, when he realized that the left side would rush to the city wall faster, he locked his eyes firmly on the charging troops on the left.

During the whole process, the artillery fire pouring from the top of Tianyuan City was still bombarding the frontal battlefield, and it seemed that there was no time to take care of the left and right sides.

So, is this their chance?
