Chapter 222 Strategic Deployment



On the land in front of the city, the enemy's 5,000 assault soldiers cooperated with each other very tacitly.

They all raised their shields and rushed forward, blocking the attacks while reaching the city.

Dozens of captains took out ladders from their storage rings and placed them directly on the city wall.

These ladders were obviously specially cast.

As it was hung on the wall, it immediately stuck to it like a magnet, making it difficult to move it.

"kill--!"

In an instant, they began to climb, screaming.

Such a powerful momentum immediately shocked the many city defense forces in the Territory of Chaos.

"What are you still standing there for! Smash them to death!!"

Seeing this, Luohan roared, picked up a huge rock and smashed it down.

There was only a loud 'bang'.

The soldier who climbed the fastest was hit on the head and bleeding, and fell down screaming.

But soon, that guy's position was replaced by the soldier behind him, who continued to climb and raised his shield.

"Quick, knock them down!!"

For a moment, the city defense soldiers on the city wall threw stones and wooden planks down one after another.

A fierce battle to defend the city finally broke out.

However, the enemy's shields were of extremely high quality, and were engraved with defensive runes, which could absorb most of the impact.

Therefore, this stone attack did not cause much killing.

"Pour kerosene!!"

Seeing this scene, Bai Lin's eyes darkened slightly and he made a decision in a short time.

In an instant, barrels of kerosene poured down.

Kerosene is extremely slippery and not only affects the enemy's climbing speed.

The most deadly point is that it can ignite a fire.

call out--!

As a rocket was fired, a raging fire instantly ignited!

The red flames were extremely dazzling in the dark night, and the raging flames suddenly engulfed the group of enemy soldiers on the ladders.

Suddenly, bursts of screams were heard.

In addition to the smell of kerosene, there was even a smell of burnt barbecue in the air.

“Woo——!”

At this moment, a loud horn sounded in the Black Feather Legion's camp in the rear.

The assault soldiers of the third battalion reacted extremely quickly and retreated without any hesitation.

Some soldiers had flames on their bodies as they ran backwards.

But even so, under the command of the horn, they behaved in an orderly manner and without any panic.

Whether charging or retreating.

This group of death warriors will never hesitate at all when faced with orders!

"The Black Feather Legion is indeed a group of strong soldiers and brave generals!"

Looking at this scene, Bai Lin frowned, and a solemn look slowly emerged in his eyes.

With only 5,000 assault troops, they rushed directly to the city.

If the enemy launched a large-scale attack, the huge force lineup would be difficult to resist with the current size of the army of Chaos City.

Lin Hao was also aware of this problem.

However, his eyes were now filled with a burning desire to fight.

He admitted that in conventional combat, the military strength of the Chaos Territory was indeed far inferior to that of the Black Feather Legion.

But thankfully, they have a trump card that they haven't yet used.

Lingyang Cannon!

Such a terrifying weapon of war will surely make up for the lack of military strength in the city.

Moreover, this powerful army of Mad Clan warriors will also be an unexpected trump card force.

Then, thousands of enemy soldiers retreated.

The flames below the city gradually dissipated, leaving the city walls charred and more than a hundred charred corpses, showing traces of the war just now.

The brief confrontation between the two armies was enough to roughly guess their respective military strengths.

In the Black Feather Legion, Lu Cang rode on horseback, gazing at the large number of retreating assault troops with a deep look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

"Commander, we have only sent out 5,000 troops and they are already approaching the city."

The dark-skinned deputy general smiled disdainfully and said, "It seems that the army of the Chaos Territory is only so strong, not even as good as a third-rate army."

"That's right."

A sturdy deputy general next to him also agreed confidently: "If we attack with our entire army tomorrow, it will only be a matter of time to capture the city."

Having witnessed the military might of the Lord of Chaos with their own eyes this time, they are undoubtedly more confident.

However, Lu Cang shook his head and said calmly: "In my opinion, it's not that simple."

"Commander, what do you mean?"

Hearing this, the four deputy generals around him showed a hint of surprise in their eyes and looked at Lu Cang in confusion.

"From the test just now, we can see that the army of Chaos City was obviously newly formed and has not been truly tempered on the battlefield."

Lu Cang stared at the chaotic city not far away with a sharp gaze, and said, "And their commander is obviously a novice and has no battlefield experience."

"However, in terms of adaptability, the commander is extraordinary. He can judge the battle situation immediately and change strategy quickly."

At this point, Lu Cang restrained his gaze, glanced at the four deputy generals beside him, and said meaningfully: "From this point of view, he is stronger than the four of you."

Upon hearing this, the four deputy generals' faces suddenly froze, not knowing how to respond.

Obviously, he did not expect that the commander would speak so highly of the enemy general.

You know, although they are deputy generals in the army, they are also veterans with more than ten years of experience in the battlefield. However, in the commander's mouth, they are not as good as the rookie in the Lord of Chaos.

"It seems that the mysterious lord is quite courageous to use this novice as the commander of the army."

There was no disparagement in Lu Cang's words. Instead, he was praising him for putting himself in Lin Hao's shoes and trying to figure out Lin Hao's strategy.

"According to my guess, the military strength of the Chaos Territory is not what it seems on the surface. It must still have some hidden power."

"Therefore, a large-scale frontal attack may result in heavy casualties for our army."

Hearing what Lu Cang said, the dark-skinned deputy general was slightly startled and asked, "Commander-in-chief, how should we deploy next?"

After Lu Cang pondered for a while, he said, "Map."

The deputy general waved his hand, and the light on the storage ring flickered. Suddenly, a long table appeared in front of them.

On the table, there were scene maps with fixed models, marking the entire area of ​​the Territory of Chaos.

Compared with Lin Hao and his team’s sand table map, it is more detailed and clear at a glance.

From this detail, it is not difficult to see that Lu Cang was indeed fully prepared for this siege!
