Chapter 37: Rabbit's Siege Warfare (Vote and Collect)
Under the threat of their lives, the ministers of Che Tu Guo finally compromised and although the warriors in their hands were important, they were ultimately not as important as power and life. Therefore, under the contribution of each minister, the imperial court of Che Long Guo actually contributed a total of 800 named warriors, which far exceeded Ruan Shi's expectations, and at the same time, he was even more grateful for Wang Wei's timely assistance.
"Alright, since all of you are so concerned about the fate of our country, I naturally cannot disappoint you. You can rest assured that if any of the warriors we send out this time were to die, I will take responsibility for their losses. Moreover, I will also mobilize a large army of 1,500 men and surely behead the commander-in-chief of Cheolong, restoring peace to our country!"
This Ruan Shi also had the courage, his rabbit country warrior team had only 800 people, but now he brought out nearly 700 warriors. This can be seen that this Ruan Shi is also a man of great courage, unfortunately, he was too kind and at critical moments, his subordinates almost abandoned him.
Fortunately, the warrior army was finally formed, and it was a large army of 1,500 people. With such military strength, even if there were strong warriors beyond the warriors, they would have to flee in defeat.
Overjoyed in his heart, the worried and bitter expression on Ruan's face also disappeared. He stood up excitedly and said loudly: "General Wang Wei, listen to my order!"
Wang Wei's heart was racing with excitement, he knew that his Majesty rewarded and punished clearly, this time he had made a great achievement, it was very likely that he would be praised and even given control of the army, although it meant making an enemy of that strong person, which was somewhat dangerous. However, since this plan was one he himself had proposed, he had some confidence in it, so Wang Wei immediately stepped forward on one knee and said: "Your subordinate obeys your orders!"
"Alright, since this plan was proposed by the general, I have decided to newly establish an army of 1,500 brave warriors and put them under the general's command, so that I can withdraw the main force from the Car Dragon Country!"
"I will obey your orders!"
…………
Zhang Liao's army rushed along the road, and when they were about five kilometers away from Che Tu City, the capital of Che Tu State, Zhang Liao immediately ordered: "The troops will advance at a running pace, changing to a walking pace, and pay attention to conserving their strength!"
"Hello!"
All the soldiers, under the transmission of military orders, suddenly let out a loud roar, their morale soared, and they charged forward.
Successive big battles made these soldiers' bodies slightly tired, but their morale was extremely high. Everyone dared to fight to the death, feeling that as long as they were under the command of their current commander, they could kill everything.
The shape of a strong army is slowly emerging.
At this moment in Cheolongguk, Ding Yuan was overjoyed in his heart, because he saw the prompt from the Three Kingdoms game space system. General Zhang Liao's real-life soldiers had become first-rate elite troops after a big battle. If they went through several more battles and were lucky enough not to die, they could become seasoned veterans!
The elite troops of the hundred battles will be upgraded again to reach the real strength of the three kingdoms.
Seeing such a Ding Yuan, he was overjoyed in his heart. The strength of the Three Kingdoms soldiers, he knew it well, was equivalent to that of a one-star warrior in this world. If these soldiers could become Three Kingdoms soldiers, Ding Yuan simply couldn't imagine it.
However, the current reality is that even the best troops are only first-rate elite soldiers, and above them are the seasoned veterans. Only when one reaches the level of a seasoned veteran, a battle-hardened soldier, or an elite warrior can they truly be considered on par with the soldiers of the Three Kingdoms era. This requires experiencing countless battles to advance, which is extremely difficult.
However, this indeed delighted Ding Yuan greatly, as Zhang Liao led his troops through several major battles, with fewer than 2,000 dead soldiers, which showed the strength of Zhang Liao.
While Lang's army has also gone through several major battles at this moment, it has reached the strength of a second-rate elite soldier. In this way, among the 100,000 troops recruited this time, there may be 10,000 people who can go through the war and complete their transformation into Three Kingdoms soldiers!
That's the concept, on that side is equivalent to a million star warriors, an army of a million star warriors, probably half of China doesn't have it, only a powerful China can do it!
At this point, Ding Yuan was inwardly excited, and at the same time, he considered even more...
…………
Zhang Liao's army marched on foot, and the speed slowed down. The soldiers could also use this to recover their strength. At the same time, some scouts were sent out to investigate the situation in Che Tu Guo. After half a time, about two kilometers away from Che Tu Guo, Zhang Liao's army stopped and set up camp.
Che Tu Guo is different from Che Hu Guo, although the previous 20,000-strong army was annihilated. However, the foundation of Che Tu Guo is exceptionally strong, and it can recruit 50,000 elite soldiers, with talents galore, far surpassing Che Hu Guo. Therefore, even if Zhang Liao's army arrives here, he will still be cautious.
This was not because he feared Carrotia, but rather because he hoped his soldiers could reduce some of their deaths.
For the commander, although more consideration should be given to victory, on the premise of being able to win, what needs to be considered more is the soldiers. Although one general's success may lead to the death of many soldiers, veteran soldiers who have fought in numerous battles are also an important asset for the general and the country, and cannot be easily lost.
Just as Zhang Liao sent out scouts to infiltrate Che Tu City and gather information, Che Tu Country finally learned that the great army of Che Long Country had arrived two kilometers east of the city.
"We should have expected this, now that it's here, we must prepare for war. Fortunately, after the events in the imperial court, both the emperor and his ministers are on the same page, determined to defend the capital to the death and repel the army of Cheolong!"
"My fellow ministers and officials, let us go up to the city wall together and see what extraordinary abilities the army of Cheolong has!"
At this moment, I am wearing armor and dressed as a military general, with an aura of grandeur that shakes the heavens.
"Roger!"
Ministers of Carrot Kingdom, after thinking clearly, everyone's determination to fight against the war was born, and they shouted in unison with their fists clenched.
At this time, Zhang Liao was also listening to the news brought by the scouts while the civil and military officials of Che Zhou were observing from a distance on the city wall.
"Reporting to the General, the Carrot Kingdom has approximately 30,000 troops gathered, with good weapons and armor. The soldiers are also retired veterans. At the same time, a subordinate discovered that the Carrot Kingdom has a secret military camp, which is very mysterious. Although subordinates risked their lives, they were unable to enter. It is speculated that the Carrot Kingdom's secrets may be its true strength!"
In the commander's camp, the leader of the scouting party kneeled on one knee and said with a fist.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Liao slightly furrowed his brow and said: "Investigate further, try to find out what's in that military camp and other abnormalities in Che Tu Guo!"
"Yes, I obey!"
The leader of the vanguard team hesitated slightly on his face, but still didn't say anything, and instead shouted loudly.
After Zhang Liao left, Zhang Liao got up with his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the tent, thinking of a countermeasure.
The three thousand troops of Che Tu Guo were also veterans, but Zhang Liao didn't take them seriously. Although these retired veterans had some foundation, the military would decline in combat effectiveness if they didn't practice for a day. Moreover, these veterans had been retired for a long time, and not only had their personal combat effectiveness declined, but the army was also not coordinated. At best, they were just slightly better than a mob.
Zhang Liao's long spear and archer troops were personally trained by him, although they couldn't compare to the elite soldiers trained by the great generals of the Three Kingdoms. However, they were still top-notch strong troops. After going through several major battles, they had been tempered like steel in blood and fire, with extremely high coordination between units, high morale, and extraordinary combat effectiveness.
Now Zhang Liao's only concern is the variable. Although he has gained some understanding of this world from books, paper knowledge is always superficial, and only by grasping the information personally can he feel at ease.
The mysterious military camp in Carrot Country is now a variable. If that variable cannot be controlled, the casualties of the troops may be very heavy.
That night, Zhang Liao's large tent was brightly lit until midnight, when the lights were finally extinguished.
On the second day, at dawn, the war drums sounded, Zhang Liao was in high spirits, 3,000 soldiers were left to guard the main camp, and the other 15,000 soldiers prepared to attack the city.
Che Zhou Guo was also well-prepared, and the city's defense would be a matter of life and death. Zhang Liao's first wave of probing attacks left over a hundred corpses before he sounded the retreat.
This round of probing also allowed Zhang Liao to successfully probe the combat strength of the Kingdom of Chitu, and for this reason he was greatly relieved. The only thing he had to guard against was that large army.
The first wave of attack although failed, but the morale of the troops did not decrease, on the contrary, under the stimulation of the casualties of comrades, all the soldiers had a sorrowful and indignant look on their faces, everyone was clenching their fists and rubbing their palms, the atmosphere was tense with excitement!
At last, after Zhang Liao had beaten the drum three times, the banners and flags were unfolded, and the order for a general attack was given!
Seven thousand long gun soldiers charged towards the city head, shouting and yelling. Eight thousand bow and arrow soldiers shot out wave after wave of arrows, suppressing the attacks of the defenders of Che Tu Guo!
This time Zhang Liao used the Taigong formation, under this powerful formation, the long spear soldiers attacking the city were like one body. Although there were countless attacks from the objects on the city wall, but under the unity of the whole army, there were not many casualties. The people on the city head, including the monarch Ruan and his civil and military officials, looked anxious and uneasy.
At the same time, the archers finally showed their prowess. Under Taigong's formation, they greatly increased their strength and accuracy in shooting. As a result, although Che Tu Guo had the advantage of defending the city, they suffered far more casualties than Che Long Guo's army.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, the 8,000 archers and crossbowmen below the city wall burst forth with a powerful momentum. All the soldiers suddenly drew their bows and nocked their arrows in unison, their movements unified to an extreme degree!
"Whoosh!"
All arrows were released almost simultaneously, rapid firing at the defenders on the city wall!
"Your Majesty, danger!"
Wang Wei, who was beside Ruan Shi, suddenly pulled Ruan Shi aside and shouted loudly.
But at this moment, hundreds of arrows shot directly to the place where Ruan Shi had just stayed, and only left the arrow rain slightly trembling.
"What a terrifying attack!"
Ruan sat on the ground, still in a state of shock. If it wasn't for Wang Wei pulling him away just now, he didn't dare to imagine the consequences. Although he was also a three-star warrior, under the hail of hundreds of arrows, he probably would have only had one path to take!
Meanwhile, a large number of city guards were heavily killed or wounded in the previous wave of attacks, and several ministers who failed to dodge in time were shot into hedgehogs by arrows.
Ruan's face turned ugly and he ordered: "General Wang Wei, lead the vanguard army to attack!"
