Alien Summoning System

Chapter 261 Filling the city with corpses
The dilapidated city became extraordinarily lonely and desolate in the setting sun. One after another corpses were carried out of the city and burned, some from the enemy and some from our own people. No matter how brilliant the victory, it could not conceal the cruelty of the battle itself. The people in the city Looking at these intruders with apprehension and fear, although they were not persecuted, their confusion and fear of the future made them numb.

Xu Da held on to the parapet, looked at the scene under the setting sun, and took a deep breath. The war was finally over, but he knew that Goryeo was just a supporting role in this epic war. The places that really affect the final outcome of this war are in Xiaoguan, in Yanmen, and maybe even within the Shenwu Empire. As for Goryeo, from the moment the war started, its tragic ending was already doomed.

"Xu Shuai, the safety notice has been issued, and the remaining evils in the city have been eliminated, what should we do next?" Shi Lang walked to Xu Da's side and asked softly.

"The army stays here. The victory of the war does not mean the surrender of this nation. We need to move these Koreans to the interior and disperse them to various places, so that they cannot organize themselves. Without the army." Xu Da naturally knew what Shiro was asking. , smiled.

"But, Your Majesty..." Shiro frowned.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty is surrounded by the most elite troops in the country, and the [-] troops will not be of much use." Xu Da looked at Shiro and said, "I want to rush to Xiaoguan immediately, and you should also set off as soon as possible to go to the lord's place to support .”

"Then what should we do here?" Shiro was slightly taken aback, and looked at the dilapidated city. Although the population of Goryeo is not large, there are 30 million in total. It is definitely a huge project to send all of them to the country. It cannot be completed in a short period of time.

"These things can be left to those civil servants, they are better at this than you and me." Xu Da looked to the far west and said: "I will go to Xiaoguan first and replace Liulang. You four brothers can also do it. We are reunited in Yanmen, after you wait for those civil servants to arrive, you should start as soon as possible."

"Yes." Shiro nodded.

The war in Goryeo can only be regarded as embellishment for today's war. Even if Huang Tianxiang loses, it will not affect Wen Zhong's overall situation. Also winning the battle in Goryeo will not increase Zhuo Ao's chances of winning much, but it does Two generals were spared for Zhuo Ao, but Wen Zhong also had an extra peerless general.

Xiaoguan, the magnificent eight-foot-high city wall, after two months of fighting, is now only five feet tall. It's not that the city wall has become shorter, but the ground has become higher.

Naturally, Yang Jian will not break the rules and use spells. He has always been a very rule-abiding person, because of his identity, any unruly things, once done, will be infinitely magnified by the people in the heaven, so every time he leaves Every step is very regular.

He didn't use magic, but let 50 people carry sandbags in turn to attack the city day and night. When people die, no one will clean them up. It won't take long before they will be buried in the endless sand, just like this day and night After more than two months of attacking, the ground in front of Xiaoguan was raised by as much as three feet. Looking from outside Xiaoguan, although the Xiaoguan in front of you is still majestic, it is not as impressive as it was two months ago. People are desperate.

But who would have guessed that no less than [-] soldiers from the Western Regions were buried under this three-foot-high land. This three-foot-high land was completely made of flesh and blood. Even Zhao Yun and Liu Lang, who were guarding the gate, felt a wave of fear .

He is ruthless enough, but also decisive enough, this is undoubtedly a terrifying opponent, especially when he saw the six-foot-high earthen platform erected unconsciously on the opposite side, Zhao Yun also had to admire Yang Jian's means and patience. He never expected to use 10 lives to break through Xiaoguan. All he wanted was for these 10 people to provide him with a platform to weaken Xiaoguan's advantage.

The six-foot-high earthen platform was originally impossible to cast. Even if it was built, the empty earthen platform would not have any load-bearing capacity, but Yang Jian not only completed it, but also put eighteen trebuchets on it, adding three feet. On the high ground, the height of the trebuchet was already higher than the city wall of Xiaoguan. Although the opponent's trebuchet was not as good as the Shenwu Empire's trebuchet, and the range was not enough, but the height difference of one foot could offset the technical problems.

On the ground, new earth and stone work started again, making people wonder whether Yang Jian wanted to fill up Xiao Guan directly and then rush up directly.

Naturally, Yang Jian would not do this. Although with the suppression of the catapults, the opponent's catapults would no longer be able to attack as unscrupulously as in the past, but I really want to fill this place. I am afraid that the 50 troops will not be enough. It is useful, and he is not so boring. Those earthen walls can well block the arrow clusters shot from the city, at least it can minimize the casualties of the soldiers before they approach the city gate. The most intuitive effect is Xiao Guan's The defensive pressure of the defenders increased significantly. They couldn't hit the Western Region soldiers under the cover of the earthen wall, but they had to keep suppressing them. Once they gave up the suppression, the arrows of these Western Region soldiers would suppress them in turn.

"It's amazing." When Xu Da reached Xiaoguan, he encountered exactly such a situation and couldn't help admiring.

"You're still making sarcastic remarks at this time." Zhao Yun rolled his eyes helplessly, looked at the earthen platform opposite and said, "Today, two earthen platforms were smashed, but such a long distance has almost reached the limit of the range of the trebuchet, and the earthen platform The wooden frame is used as the skeleton, if the wooden frame that fixes the earthen platform cannot be broken, the earthen platform cannot be destroyed at all."

Liu Lang nodded and said: "There is also the earthen wall below. Our arrows can't shoot it in, but they have a special archer. Once we stop suppressing, they will shoot quickly. In these two days, they will die in these two days alone." There are no less than a thousand soldiers under Shenjian."

"It took two months to do this kind of thing, and it cost 10 lives. It's a stupid way." Xu Da shook his head.

"The method is a bit stupid, but now it seems that the effect is good." Zhao Yun said helplessly, the simpler the method, it looks stupid, but the effect is often very significant.

"Not all stupid methods are useful." Xu Da laughed.

"Oh? Brother Xu has a solution?" Zhao Yun's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Dadao.

"Is there any tung oil?" Xu Da didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"Of course." Zhao Yun nodded, because Xiaoguan's design is special, to use tung oil, the holes on the city wall must be sealed, after use, it is not easy to reopen, so tung oil has never come in handy .

"Move them here and use a trebuchet to throw them out as evenly as possible," Xu Da said.

"Okay." Liu Lang immediately ordered the soldiers to move an altar of tung oil to the city wall. As the first pass in the Western Regions, all kinds of materials for defending the city are very rich. The tung oil has been placed in a warehouse. It was useless before, but now it is very sufficient.

"Clap clap clap~"

Accompanied by the muffled sound of the trebuchet, a jar of tung oil was thrown down and hit the earth wall. In an instant, a large area of ​​land was soaked in tung oil.

"Use a rocket!" Xu Da said to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun and Liu Lang were naturally not idiots, and they quickly understood what Xu Da meant. Following Liu Lang's order, thousands of rockets soared into the sky. Amidst the desperate roars of the soldiers from the Western Regions, countless tongues of fire shot up at Xiao Guan in an instant. , Countless ignited figures struggled, screamed, and roared in a sea of ​​flames. In an instant, the originally tragic battlefield turned into a hellish sea of ​​flames.

"Second Lord, what should we do?" Zhi Jian stared blankly at the scene in front of him. Several tung oil cans were smashed on the earthen platform, and then the earthen platform was also ignited, and a trebuchet was either burned or collapsed immediately. The earthen platform fell down and smashed to pieces. After two months of hard work, the earthen platform filled with the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers disappeared in an instant.

"Ming Jin withdraws troops." Yang Jian raised his head and looked in Xiao Guan's direction. He didn't expect the other party to come up with a solution so quickly, and let his painstaking efforts of two months go to waste.

"Receive... withdraw troops?" Zhi Jian looked at Yang Jian puzzled, not understanding why he did this.

A few more tung oil cans were shot out, but this time the target was not the earthen platform, but the army here. Naturally, the tung oil cans are much lighter than heavy stones. Under the same force, the distance thrown out is natural. Farther away, it can be thrown directly into their army formation, and this time the tung oil tank is different, it was directly ignited, fell into the crowd, and exploded directly, igniting more than a dozen soldiers in an instant. There was chaos in an instant.

Zhijian finally understood why Yang Jian chose to retreat. The enemy's attack area was too wide. If they didn't retreat, they could only be targeted here. There was a sea of ​​fire in front of them. There was no way to continue to attack the city. They had no other choice but to withdraw their troops.

Under Yang Jian's command, the army quickly retreated. Although this battle looked tragic, not many soldiers were burned to death. The real damage was the morale problem. Two months of sacrifice and hard work turned into an instant. Bubble, that psychological loss and frustration brought the morale of the Allied Forces of the Western Regions to the bottom in an instant.

But above Xiao Guan, there were thunderous cheers at this moment, Zhao Yun punched Xu Da fiercely on the chest and said with a smile: "As expected of the military god of my Shenwu Empire, it was just a plan, and Yang Jian's painstaking efforts for two months were in vain."

"However, let him fill it up. After all, our tung oil is limited, and the next step is the real hard battle." Xu Da rubbed his aching chest, shook his head and said, "Liu Lang, you should go to Yanmen Pass immediately to support His Majesty, Yang Jian Leave it to me and Zilong to deal with it."

"Yes." This time, Liu Lang didn't hesitate. His staying here was of little use, and with the Shenwu Empire's Army God and War God joining forces, even Yang Jian couldn't break through the level, and immediately took orders to leave.

"Is the battle in Korea over?" Zhao Yun looked at Xu Da and said.

"That Huang Tianxiang is indeed powerful, but he is a brave man, so there is no proof. Now that he has fled back to Wenzhong's camp, we must end the war here as soon as possible and support His Majesty from the flank." Xu Da nodded.

"Okay, I've thought about Yang Jian for a while." Zhao Yun nodded and smiled.
