As soon as the battle began, it was a doomsday scene.
From this moment on, the so-called offensive and defensive skills have become secondary, and what is being competed for is the foundation and morale of both sides.
There was a sound of gravel breaking.
There were continuous screams.
The blood soon dyed the city walls red, and the city gate made of black iron also became bumpy.
This battle.
That's the whole day!
Military aircraft camp.
People are in panic.
A group of generals, led by Qu Yi, were whispering to each other, and Qu Yi was pacing back and forth in great worry.
finally.
The deputy general hurried over: "Marshal, the damage statistics are out!"
Qu Yi said in a deep voice: "Read it quickly!"
The deputy general quickly read out the casualties of the Chu army and the estimated casualties of the Gan army.
After listening.
Everyone was silent.
The calculated casualties of the Gan army are of course higher than those of the Chu army, this is beyond doubt.
Because attacking and defending a city is not a difficult task, normally the casualties would differ by several times.
But this time, the difference in casualties was not that big.
This is outrageous.
Everyone present had a more solemn expression than the other.
The deputy general could not help but said: "Marshal! Please let me lead the charge once. If this catapult is not destroyed, I am afraid we will..."
"No need! Just follow my orders!"
Qu Yi waved his hand to reject it, his expression somewhat uncertain, and no one knew what he was struggling with.
The deputy general opened and closed his lips, but finally swallowed his words.
Qu Yi put on a smile and said, "It's not a big problem. There is no problem with our city walls. Besides, we have crossbows. We are not afraid at all!"
"right!"
Suddenly, a voice rang out in the camp: "The city wall is made of my concrete, it can't be easily destroyed. The crossbow mechanism is also the blueprint I brought from the Kingdom of Li. As long as you protect the crossbow mechanism from being destroyed, even if you can only trade one for one or one for two with the Gan army, you will be able to beat them back sooner or later!"
This voice is very familiar.
But not in his own camp.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found a figure quietly drinking tea in the corner.
"Ying Wuji!?"
Qu Yi looked at him unkindly: "Aren't you resisting Qi? Leaving your post and running here is a violation of military law. You..."
Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand, interrupting, "The charge of deserting one's post is too serious, I cannot bear it. General Qu knows me well, and should know that there is a magical power called incarnation. Last night, we attacked the Qi camp 26 times, destroyed all the siege equipment, and killed thousands of enemies. The battle situation is very good, so I should not be unable to spare an incarnation."
Hearing this.
Everyone looked at each other.
If Ying Wuji was not bragging, this record was indeed terrifying.
only……
Although the Qi army is not strong, it is not weak to this extent, right?
Or are the elite members of the royal family already so strong now?
"snort!"
Qu Yi snorted coldly. If that was the case, it was indeed not that he had left his post without permission. He just asked indifferently, "Then what is Marshal Ying doing here?"
"Nothing!"
Ying Wuji smiled and waved his hand: "I just came to check the quality of the city walls and the crossbows to see if the craftsmen cut corners. After all, most of the money I got for the royal family was spent on the five border cities, so it is necessary to inspect the results.
It looks like it should be pretty good.
When the royal family becomes rich through reforms in the future, they can reinforce several city walls on the border between Chu and Qi.
This will save us from not being able to defend the city in the future and being forced to take the initiative to attack!"
Hearing this.
Everyone looked at each other in surprise.
After all, what Ying Wuji said was so fucked up.
On the one hand, he wanted to take credit, as the city walls and crossbows depended on him.
On the other hand, he was pretending to be cool.
But they couldn't say anything, because what Ying Wuji said was all true. The city wall was indeed reinforced with money paid by the royal family, and these crossbows were also installed on the city wall by craftsmen hired by the royal family at a high price.
It was covered with a steel plate, which was enough to block the stones thrown by the Gan army. The soldiers could do whatever they wanted under the steel plate. It was the firepower guarantee of the Chu army, but also caused considerable casualties to the Gan army.
The only downside is...
The quantity is too small.
There are only three.
If the number could reach ten, the casualty ratio between the two sides would definitely not be so ugly.
But they couldn't say anything.
Because when Mi Duo spent a huge amount of money on city defense, he asked Qu Jingzhao and the other two families for taxes, but they refused in various ways. Now that he has tasted the bitter fruit, he has no one to blame. They have used other people's money to reinforce the city walls and build the crossbows, so they don't have the face to scold Ying Wuji.
Qu Yi looked grim: "If Marshal Ying was only here for inspection, then it has been completed now, and we can leave now!"
"Oh? General Qu doesn't need help?"
Ying Wuji smiled calmly and said, “Although Ying Wuque did not personally take part in this siege, he beat the drums in front of the battle to cheer. The royal family’s killing domain and the killing of life and soul were fully utilized. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have had such a hard time fighting.
If you need help, I can be a small drummer.
At least it can keep our Chu army’s morale from falling behind!
After all, after the reforms in the country, all citizens were soldiers, and this time the military force is really overwhelming us."
After hearing this.
Many people were happy because this fight was quite difficult.
The catapults of the Gan Kingdom almost left them with a shadow. Although it was a battle to defend the city, the firepower they bore was not much worse than that of a siege. After a day, the morale was visibly depressed. The Killing Field and the Soul-Slaying Technique were both magical skills. If Ying Wuji was willing to use them...
