The flood surged.
The two sides face each other silently across the bank.
Under the power of nature, no matter how strong you are and how wise you are, you are helpless and can only wait silently for the water to recede.
But waiting is waiting, and no one is idle.
Ning Zhenggang quickly made preparations for the war, and Zheng Yuanyun's soldiers began to expand their scope to collect more ammunition for the catapult troops.
A war is imminent.
The thunderous sound of water can't last long. After waiting for about half an hour, a lot of river water accumulated in the upstream has been poured out. It can be seen by the naked eye that the water level of the moat outside Xilong city has risen a lot, but the water potential has also flattened a lot.
Zheng Yuanyun has been watching. At the first time when the water is gentle, he waved his big hand!
Boom!
Hundreds of catapults are already ready to go, waiting for this moment to come.
For a time, if the boulder falls to the ground, wave after wave, it seems to pour into the river as if it never stops.
The river is boiling again, even several times more violent than before.
It seems that time repeats itself again. The difference is Ning Zhenggang's blacker face at the head of Xilong city.
Before, he had something to rely on. Zheng Yuanyun's simple and rough response didn't tangle him too much. After all, no matter how much stone is invested, a flood can wash it away.
Just look at the violent degree of the water just now, Ning Zhenggang's heart is dripping blood.
If the bastards hadn't opened the gate earlier and let the water out, no matter how many stones Zheng Yuanyun threw, it would be just floating in the water.
Now it's better that the other side throws stones freely, while the other side has no means of check and balance.
"Damn it!"
Ning Zhenggang, who was very angry, could only tighten his fist again and again. He didn't know that he had scolded the defenders of the dam thousands of times.
Can scold return scold, should have countermeasure still should have.
Seeing the huge stones in the river have begun to gradually emerge from the water, it is estimated that soon, when the number of stones emerging from the water gradually increases, a gravel road leading to the bottom of Xilong city will not be far away.
All the stone throwers on the head of the city calibrated the rudimentary gravel road. Only when the enemy ran through the river by this road, was it time for Xilong city to counterattack the enemy.
Boom!
Boom, boom!
In the continuous roar of the catapults, a large number of boulders were thrown into the river. Because the frequency was too fast, many catapults could not withstand the intensive bombing, and many had been completely scrapped.
However, now is obviously not the time to feel distressed about the loss of stone catapults. Compared with that, Zheng Yuanyun pays more attention to the broken stone road that has grown from nothing and began to become more and more open.
This road leads directly to the gate of Xilong city!
"Tell them to be ready."
Seeing that it was almost done, Zheng Yuanyun turned to the deputy general and said.
In the process of throwing stones to cut off the flow, nearly two million troops under his hands are already ready to go. In the first place, there are more than 300000 sword and shield soldiers!
After all, this road was hastily bombed with stone catapults and could not be used by all troops like the real road.
Therefore, Zheng Yuanyun chose the sword and shield players with the strongest terrain tolerance as the main attack force, while those with high terrain requirements, such as cavalry, are naturally not suitable to fight at this time.
At the back of the sword shield hand, a large number of engineers looked more and more nervous and congealed. On their shoulders, they carried the necessary equipment for the siege, such as ladder, challenge wood and so on. In addition, at least more than 100 siege hammers in wet leather were pushed to the front line.
Then came the archers. Zheng Yuanyun took away most of the attack arms. There were more than 500000 archers alone. Everyone prepared their bows and arrows. When waiting for a large-scale attack, they quickly ran within range to provide fire support for themselves.
The only pity is that Zheng Yuanyun has prepared more than 100 siege arrow towers. According to the situation of the River Road, it is obviously not suitable for the towering siege tower. If you drive in by force, you may have turned over yourself before you enter the range.
In short, all he can prepare is well prepared at this time, just wait until the time is ripe!
And this opportunity, but also after less than half an hour, came!
"Keep the order and the whole army will raid!"
Zheng Yuanyun, who had been impatient for a long time, saw that a wide gravel road had been formed not far in front of him. Although there was still water surging on the road, the water could only submerge the instep of adults, which did not affect the advance of the army at all.
So there was no hesitation. He immediately pulled out a sharp sword from his waist. The tip of the sword pointed to the gate of Xilong city!
"Go!"
In an instant, the roar shook the sky. All the sword and shield troops who had been ready for a long time looked fierce. After a violent roar, a large area of Ukraine rushed to Xilong city.
"Coming!"
Ning Zhenggang, who had been watching nervously, raised his eyebrows in an instant, raised his right hand suddenly and shouted, "the whole army is ready, listen to my command!"
He gathered a total of 300000 garrisons here. Although the number was not as large as that of the other party, it could win the geographical advantage of Xilong city. In addition, there was no need for garrisons on the other three walls, which was full of Xilong city walls.
No matter how many people there are, there is only one direction that can attack. In fact, Xilong city does not seem to be at an absolute disadvantage in the scope of units.
There's more!
Ning Zhenggang calculated the bottom of his heart.
Ouyang insisted that he was asked to hold Zheng Yuanyun for a while anyway.
Ning Zhenggang was not angry when he received this order.
He was the general of Nantes province. When Zhang Chengwang left, he also handed over the whole Nantes province to him for management. That's why when Yang Mingzhong came to attack the city, he was the one guarding the city.
Later, the situation forced Ning Zhenggang, who could not defeat Yang Mingzhong, to retreat and return to Xilong City, which he was more familiar with and better defended.
Later, Zhang Chengwang was defeated and killed in battle. He is one of the highest rank positions in Nantes province at present.
If there were no accidents, he should have inherited the position of supreme commander of Nantes province. It is conceivable that he has high power.
But in this way, he was just made cannon fodder by Ouyang to delay the enemy's propulsion speed. What did Ning Zhenggang think?
Although Ouyang's strict military rank is higher than him, he is a man from Fengqi province after all. Why should he dictate in Nantes province?
Yes, at the moment, Ouyang has the most troops. He can really have a big say, but Ning Zhenggang also wants to let the other party know that he is not a vegetarian!
Procrastination?
What he has to do is not only delay, but also drag Zheng Yuanyun to death here!
Xilong city will be the wall that Zheng Yuanyun sighs. The people of Qingyang empire will never break through the Xilong City guarded by him and enter the interior of Nante province!
This is Ning Zhenggang's persistence!
