Chapter 657: Da Gu and Er Gu are not far from retirement
A great victory created a very good atmosphere for discussion among them. After the discussion, there was a celebration banquet, which made the soldiers in Huangsha City even more excited.
At the same time, inside a secret room somewhere in Black Stone City, the circular formation carved on the floor of the secret room suddenly lit up. In the light, Yan Sheng, who was still in shock, appeared out of thin air.
He glanced around and after making sure that he had been successfully teleported back, he felt relieved and collapsed directly on the circle.
An army of five thousand went out to fight with great momentum, but ended up returning in defeat.
Not only did extraordinary creatures appear on the opposite side, but also a large number of skeleton beasts appeared, directly curbing their core siege tactics.
In addition, there is actually a fierce general on the opposite side who can fight Jie Liancheng to a draw.
Whenever he thought of this, Yan Sheng's face became frighteningly ugly.
According to his original plan, he should lead an army of 5,000 to defeat the enemy as quickly as possible, recapture Huangsha City, and then dismiss the extra soldiers who were recruited so that they could join the autumn harvest.
Judging from his performance in the past few years, although Yan Sheng is a real battle maniac, he is still clear about the importance of spring ploughing and autumn harvest.
But now, his original plan has been shattered to pieces.
Although the main force had not withdrawn yet, Yan Sheng could already foresee that a lot of troops would be lost in this wave.
At the same time, Huangsha City might not be taken in a short time, but the question is, does he dare to dismiss the soldiers and let them go back to start the autumn harvest? He dare not! The enemy army now entrenched in Huangsha City has become a ferocious beast staring at him in Yan Sheng's eyes. The existence of this ferocious beast is enough to make him sleepless at this time!
In this situation, how could he dare to dismiss the soldiers? Not only did he not dare to dismiss them, he even wanted to recruit more soldiers! Otherwise, how could he take back the Huangsha City that fell into the hands of the enemy? ! Yan Sheng fell into deep entanglement with this problem, and the depressed mood in his heart made him unable to sleep at night.
In comparison, Zhou Xu, who was in Huangsha City, had a good sleep after the celebration banquet.
When I woke up, it was already ten o'clock the next morning.
He had undoubtedly overslept, but no one bothered him.
Because everyone knew that after the huge consumption of the power of truth, their king would definitely need more rest time.
At present, all the people in Huangsha City have been moved to their Great Zhou, and daily military affairs are handled by Shi Lei. Unless there are special circumstances, there is no need to disturb their king's rest.
After a simple wash, Zhou Xu asked the same question as usual.
"Did any reports come in this morning?"
"Yes, I have already placed them all on the desk."
Silk, the captain of the personal guard, answered quickly.
Since it was inconvenient to bring entourage with him when he was on a military expedition, some of the daily secretarial work was done by Silk, the captain of the personal guards.
Fortunately, the matter was not complicated. It mainly involved helping him sort out the documents and arranging the itinerary. Most of the rest of the work was done by Zhou Xu himself, so it didn't take Silk much effort.
"Have breakfast delivered directly to the office."
"yes."
There were not many documents delivered in the morning, and Zhou Xu read through them while eating breakfast.
The contents of these documents are mainly detailed reports and summaries of yesterday's battle.
For Zhou Xu, who had already listened to the entire internal review discussion meeting yesterday, he basically had an idea of it and was able to review it quite quickly.
However, there was one question that caught Zhou Xu's attention.
That is whether to bury the giant skeleton beast back outside the city.
This action itself is not just to catch the opponent off guard.
When the enemy forces launch a siege, the process of the skeleton beast breaking out of the ground can directly disrupt or even contain the enemy's offensive forces, destroy their formation, and divide the battlefield.
In addition, because it was buried outside the city in advance, the step of opening the city gate was saved.
You know, the act of opening the city gate itself will arouse the enemy's high vigilance.
Before making this decision, Zhou Xu seemed to have thought of something and planned to go over and confirm it in person.
Those giant beast skeletons have now been temporarily moved to the open space in Huangsha City.
The skeletons of the Ankylosaur are nothing special, they are just there to fill the scene. The core of this giant skeleton army lies in the big bones and two bones.
Because the previous battle did not break the big bones and the second bone, even though the big bones and the second bone have lost the blessing of the power of mantra, the skeleton has not been completely scattered on the ground, and it still maintains a certain framework.
At this moment, walking closer and looking at the skeleton with scars all over its bones, Zhou Xu couldn't help feeling a little melancholy.
Not to mention the parts that have been scattered on the ground, even the parts that still maintain the frame have already developed many cracks, and many parts have even been broken.
Zhou Xu had tested it earlier and found that although the skeleton units can be continuously reorganized through the power of mantras, the reorganization does not mean complete recovery. In the process of being constantly shattered, the strength of the skeleton units will continue to decrease.
Simply put, it will become increasingly fragile.
The drastic decline in the strength of the big and second bones began with the battle with Bolevin.
At that time, Zhou Xu controlled the big bone and the two bones to restrain Boleven, which created an opportunity for his side to win and eventually occupied the Lizardman's territory.
But in this process, Bolevin relied on his own mantra to continuously launch powerful attacks on Da Gu and Er Gu, and defeated Da Gu and Er Gu several times.
Many of the cracks on the skeleton were left at that time.
Once cracks appear on the originally integrated bones, their strength will be significantly reduced, not to mention that there are more than one or two broken pieces.
In yesterday's battle to defend the city, Zhou Xu controlled Big Bone and Two Bone to launch a collision in order to destroy the enemy's siege tower as quickly as possible.
During this collision, the large bones themselves are inevitably damaged.
At that time, when he was on the top of the wall, Zhou Xu had already seen the bone fragments flying out continuously, which was the core reason why he wanted to come and confirm the situation in person.
[Alas, if things continue like this, Dagu and Ergu will soon be close to retirement.]
Throughout the entire era of cold weapons, the strategic value of large units like the Big Bone and the Two Bone cannot be ignored.
If possible, Zhou Xu really didn't want to lose these two strategic units.
But sometimes he has no choice. If Da Gu Er Gu goes into battle, he will inevitably be attacked and damaged, which will eventually lead to a decrease in strength.
However, in this process, the cost of controlling them with mantras did not decrease at all.
In other words, if they continue to be used in this way, the big bones and two bones will sooner or later become a paper tiger with huge consumption. They can scare people, but they will be broken by the enemy with one poke.
This itself has no cost-effectiveness. Instead of that, it is better to save this consumption and win by attracting skeleton troops.
