C619 That Would be too Fake
After all, it's only for a short period of time, after a few days, The Barbarian Tribe's army of a million soldiers had arrived at the city. As for the Luoan. . . Apart from the hundred thousand elite soldiers led by Mu Han and the Soong Kingdom's army of two hundred thousand, as well as the army of thirty thousand experts, the army of two hundred thousand soldiers from the Qi State arrived yesterday. Currently, the number of soldiers in Luoan was no less than six hundred thousand. Even if the Barbarian Army launched an attack recklessly, The number of people alone was enough to give them the strength to fight. Moreover, in the current Luoan. . . Under the remodelling of the famous Bao Hong of Great Chu, it had long become an indestructible steel fortress. Not to mention the reinforcements of the other three kingdoms were rushing over at high speed. No matter how one looked at it, The seven kingdoms had the upper hand.
There was a saying in the art of war: "The way to defend the city. If you don't come, then you must wait for me. If you don't attack, then I won't attack. "
What he meant was that when facing the aggressive attacks of the enemy, He didn't need to panic. He just carefully deployed his troops. Proactive defense was the way to go. This was naturally not a difficult thing for Bao Hong, who was familiar with the art of war and liked to use the knowledge he had learned in a flexible manner. Although due to the severe time constraints, Bao Hong did not have the time to fully utilize the way to defend the city. However, those who were good at defending did not know what the enemy was attacking. It was not only because the city was deep in the pond, but also because the soldiers were strong enough to feed on food. They had to care about careful thinking. There were hundreds of changes in his plans.
Whether or not the defensive system of a city was powerful, apart from the construction factors of the city itself, It also had a close relationship with the geographical environment. As the capital city of Chu Kingdom, the Luoan, Since ancient times, it had been a prosperous place. Since it was a trade capital city. . . However, this did not prevent Bao Hong from transforming it into an impregnable fortress. First of all, to deal with the most valiant cavalry of Barbarian Army. He set up a large number of traps outside the moat: iron caltrops, deer antlers, horse trap, and horse trap.
Next, all kinds of defensive weapons were crazily forged in the whole city, such as arena gears, wolf teeth slaps, iron bashing wood, flying torches, shutter knives. . .
This was naturally to deal with the defense of the city walls that were densely packed like ants that were climbing up the city walls. Among them. . . The arena gear was nailed to a huge wooden pillar with a sharp inverted tentacle nail, and then it was thrown to kill the enemy. Due to the scarcity of resources in the city, Bao Hong ordered people to find a large number of wooden clubs as substitutes. The Wolf Fang Strike was similar to the arena's function. When the enemy attacked the city, The defending soldiers used two sets of ropes to lift the slapping face up vertically to the city wall. When the enemy climbed up to the bottom of the slapping face, They suddenly dropped it down to create the most fatal damage. The iron battering wood and the flying torch were mainly used to destroy the enemy's ladders. As for the Sabers, they were used to block the city when the city gates were breached. There were 24 steel knives on the front wall. When used, the carriage would be pushed to the gap of the city gate. They could kill the enemy and block the arrows and stones of the enemy. It was difficult for the enemy to climb up, and it was the most useful emergency weapon when the city gate was lost.
Finally, in order to deal with the fire and stone attacks from the Barbarian Army, Bao Hong ordered people to use hemp ropes to tightly weave a fine soft curtain. After that, they would apply mud on the surface of the curtain and hang it outside the city wall to protect the wall from flying stones and fire.
In this way, it could be said that everything was ready. They were just waiting for the Barbarian Army to recklessly attack the city. When the time came. . . Bao Hong's meticulous arrangements would definitely shine. This was something that no one would doubt. However, Prince Qing Hen of the Barbarian Tribe, who was the commander this time, was not an ordinary person. He could see that the people of Luoan were well prepared. Instead of commanding the army to attack, he ordered the army to set up camp a few miles away from the city gate. Obviously, there were no signs of sieging for a short period of time. This disappointed the people of Luoan, but at the same time, they secretly heaved a sigh of relief. After all, judging from the overall situation, the later the Barbarian Army launched their attack, the more advantageous it would be for their side. Once all the soldiers of the seven kingdoms were gathered, even if the Barbarian Tribe had a million soldiers, what was there to be afraid of?!
However, compared to the high fighting spirit of the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe, Guxing, the nominal Human Clan who also had the identity of a Devil Master, was in a difficult situation for the Devil Clan. The thousand-year war between the races had long ago caused both sides to hate each other. It was not something that could be resolved by human strength. A war was about to break out at any moment. Guxing had no choice but to hold Demon Lord's token in his hand. He hesitated and asked Ruolan again and again, "Ruolan. I remember you once said that the Barbarian Tribe was once a vassal of the Devil Clan. If I use this token to force them to retreat, will it work? "
Ruolan sneered, "It is true that the Barbarian Tribe is a vassal of my race, but that was a thousand years ago. Putting aside the fact that you had recklessly entered the Heaven Realm and caused the Barbarian Tribe to suffer, does the Barbarian Tribe still hold a grudge against you? The current Barbarian Tribe was the complete opposite of their pure and kind ancestors. They had become a race that only knew how to seek revenge and slaughter. Do you think they will listen to you? "
Guxing fell silent. Ruolan's words were not unreasonable. If he stood in front of the Barbarian Army with Demon Lord's token in his hand, he was afraid that he would be cut into pieces by the violent Barbarian Army in an instant.
It had been more than a thousand years. Perhaps the Barbarian Tribe had even forgotten about the Devil Clan. What's more, he was once the master of the Devil Clan, and even though he still had some memories. . . He might not bow his head to Chen Chen. Instead, it was more likely that Chen Chen would treat him as an enemy. After all, during the Great Immortal and Devil War, Ye Mo was the master of the Devil Clan. He was the main culprit behind the war.
"Then what should I do? Should I watch the two sides kill each other? "
Guxing angrily punched the wall and roared unwillingly.
Ruolan had never seen him like this. At this moment, her expression was also a little absent-minded as she said, "This is the fated battle between the Human Clan and the Barbarian Tribe. How can you stop it?"
"In the end, it's still my fault for being useless. If I had Demon Lord's powerful strength, so what if I had fate? I would still be able to break it with one strike!" After Guxing vented his anger, he powerlessly knelt on the ground. His hair covered most of his face, making him look extremely dispirited.
Who knew that Ruolan would let out a disdainful sneer when she heard him. "If fate was really so easy to break, how could you have fallen back then?"
Seeing him stunned, Ruolan could not help but sigh and said, "Idiot, if the army that came today is the Devil Clan. . . What choice should you make?"
Guxing immediately became silent and subconsciously tightened his grip on Cann Yue as he bitterly said, "I. . . Don't know. . . "
Ruolan instantly turned around. Guxing originally thought that she would be furious and scold him for not knowing what was good for him but he did not expect that she only put her hand on his shoulder and gently smiled. "This is the fool I know. If you choose the Devil Clan without any hesitation, I will look down on you instead. "
"Why. . . Why?" Guxing could not figure it out.
Ruolan sighed and smiled. "That is too fake. "
