Chapter 770: Defense of Danluo City (10)

Lou Fang's army launched a fierce siege against the newly built Danluo City from the east and south.

The east direction was led by commander Wesyda himself, with about 20,000 people. The south direction was led by his deputy Acadilla, with about 15,000 people.

On the side of the defenders, the city wall on the east was defended by Galavar, with about 10,000 servants. On the south was defended by Mushayi, with about 5,000 servants.

In terms of force, the attacking army is at least twice as many as the defending army. However, because the city walls are tall and the defending army has a good geographical advantage, it does not suffer any losses. In the siege battle, the attacking army must be at least twice as many as the defending army to be sure to win.

The offense and defense were tensely stalemate, and a large number of casualties occurred every moment.

The army in Jinyuan was engaged in mobile combat. The air cavalry squadron had the advantage of vision. In addition to observing the battle situation and reporting Jin Ling in time, it also attacked Lou Fang's army from time to time, making him grit his teeth and helpless. Unfortunately, the number of people and demon eagles was too small, and the fire thunder was relatively rare. It was only used at critical moments, so it could only cause a small amount of damage.

The musket team is arranged in the most hidden corners on the city wall from time to time to fire cold guns under the city wall, focusing on killing and injuring barbarian officers at all levels of Loufang's troops. Whenever there is any place that is tight, they will also provide concentrated fire support.

The advance brigade led by Tan Hualang was the main mobile force, patrolling around and rushing wherever it was tight. At the same time, it also closely monitored the immortals of Lou Fang's tribe who suddenly rushed up from the corners of some city walls. Those immortals could jump over the city wall with a light jump, and having the immortal power could also cause huge damage. Therefore, they had to deal with these intruders as soon as possible.

The guards led by Zhu Yuqiang and his sister, composed of demon wild boar demons who can turn into human form, are the last reserve force of the Jinyuan army. If the situation changes dramatically, they will be their last trump card.

Nangong Shoujiu led the officers and soldiers of the Logistics Support Brigade to send supplies to various combat posts in a row. Although they had already carried the supplies to the maximum extent when they came, the battles of tens of thousands of people and the barbarians did not have the habit of storing supplies and food, which still put huge pressure on their support. In just two days, the various supplies they carried with them were already in short supply.

They tried their best. They really didn't expect that the attack of Lou Fang's army would come so quickly and the war would be so large. They didn't expect that in addition to taking on various supplies for the Jinyuan army, they also needed to bear the additional supplies of nearly 20,000 minion troops.

It’s not okay to not take responsibility. These servants have surrendered to Jinyuan and are also fighting bloody battles for Danluo City occupied by Jinyuan. Could it be that they will go to war on hunger?

The barbarians have no idea of ​​raising soldiers. Most of them were soldiers during wartime and were fishermen in normal times. The servants also had military rations, but over the past few days, they had consumed a lot of them, and there was only a lot left. They didn't expect that they would fall into it.

Thinking of this, Nangong Shoujiu wanted to cry a little. Occupying Danluo City is indeed the supreme glory, but if the supply cannot keep up and lead to defeat, Nangong Shoujiu is the biggest sinner.

There was no other way. He had to ask some injured barbarian soldiers who had retreated from the city wall to go door to door in the city to ask the barbarians to donate food and store unsold fish and meat. Fortunately, the Shangui people saw that whether it was the army of the new patriarch or the army of Jinyuan, they were indeed fighting to defend Danluo City. They were also worried that the Loufang army would massacre them after the city broke (of course, this was mostly the effect of the propaganda of the soldiers in Jinyuan), and they donated some stored food, delaying the urgent need.

"Young Master, I can't stand it anymore." Nangong Shoujiu came to Jin Ling with a sad face. "The barbarian land is not a place to defend the city and fight, and they have no food reserves at all. If it were in Jinhua City, no, even if the Lingshan Fairy Township and Lou Fang tribe attacked the city like this, the fairy town could maintain the fairy town for three months and keep food. But in the barbarians, this is not possible!"

"Captain Nangong, don't panic, don't panic." Jin Ling smiled, "There is always food. Do you think the existing grain storage will last?"

The young master could still laugh. Nangong Shoujiu complained. However, he still answered respectfully: "At such a consumption rate, if you have to supply the minion army again, at most one day and a half, the entire army will be out of food."

"Oh." Jin Ling nodded, "The barbarians' habit of fighting is to attack and attack fiercely. They are not good at building city walls. Lou Fang's troops probably never expected that Danluo City would build a city wall, which they had not captured after three days. After three days, their food should have been consumed almost the same."

"Go back to the young master." Abeli ​​stepped forward and reported, "I also have friends' suspicion in the Loufang army. Yesterday, when I attacked the city, I received a letter from them tied with stones, and the food and grass in the Loufang army did not continue. Wesyda originally thought that he could easily break into the Danluo area and plunder food in Danluo. Unexpectedly, he was blocked by our city wall for many days. Their army was scarce and there were signs of defeat."

"I guess so." Jin Ling continued to laugh, "This is easy."

"Young Master, you can really laugh." Nangong Shoujiujiu said speechless. "Although the other party is also short of food and grass, we are even more scarce. They can also send people to the Neimanze to catch fish and fill their hunger, catch some wild animals in the wild, and find some farmland to harvest. Although it is not yet time for the crops to mature, they can't care about filling their stomachs. But what can we do if we are trapped in the city? We can't get out of the city, so should we eat the city wall?"

"The city wall cannot be eaten." Jin Ling said, "Captain Nangong, come with me."

He led the way, and Nangong Shoujiu followed inexplicably, wondering what the young master was selling in the gourd.

After walking in the city for a while, he came to a large courtyard. This courtyard was the hiding place of the ghost witch Sudariye that day, and he also imprisoned Sowell's relatives here. After the ghost witch died, Jin Ling occupied this courtyard as existing. Not to mention, this is one of the best courtyards built in Danluo City.

This courtyard is now closely guarded by the Guards, and no idle people are allowed to enter.

"Young Master, you are here." Zhu Yurun quickly welcomed him when he heard that Jin Ling was coming.

"Miss Yurun, I'll take Captain Nangong over to check it out. He has no food in his hand and feels panicked. I think the situation here may slow down his fear." Jin Ling said with a smile.

"It must be possible." Zhu Yurun covered her mouth and smiled, leading the way. Before coming to a large house guarded by guards in the backyard, she opened the door.

In an instant, Nangong Shoujiu took a deep breath. Because he saw that this big house was filled with food bags, the standard 100-pound grain bags in the Northern Jin army, and there were about 500 bags in the whole house.

"There are all the three rooms behind," Zhu Yurun said, "There is another room containing jerky meat, pickles, pickled fish, etc."

"Young Master, how did this happen?" Nangong Shoujiu's eyes almost fell off, "We, before we left, we did not carry so much food."

"How to do it, Mr. Nangong, don't ask." Jin Ling pretended to be mysterious, "Anyway, I can tell you very responsibly that Jinyuan can definitely afford to spend this battle. Just look at whether the other party's Wesleyda can afford to spend it." (To be continued)
