Chapter 711

beat!
At dawn the next day, the four legions of the Black Gold Group first marched towards the outer city gate and began to bombard the city gate. Two legions on each of the dragon's head and the dragon's tail mountain were ready to attack the crouching dragon city corps that had entered the Wengcheng.

However, Yu Lihuang really stabilized this time. He watched the Heijin Group press down on the outer city without moving, watched the outer city begin to collapse under the intensive artillery fire and still did not move, allowing the Heijin Group to knock down the gate of the outer city.

It took an hour for the outer city gate to be breached, and then the four legions rushed towards the Wengcheng like tigers and wolves. Yu Lihuang's Iron Legion waited in front of the gate of Wolong City, waiting for the opponent to rush into the fire range before opening fire.

Ding Sancheng attacked the outer city without being blocked and went straight into the Wengcheng. He found a legion with dozens of chariots in front of the city. Immediately excited, he led all the legions to rush over, and started the battle without waiting for the legions on the left and right mountains to find fire support points.

Facing a legion, four against one, there is no need to exchange fire at a long distance first. Ding Sancheng roared to destroy the Iron Legion in Wengcheng within an hour, and then attacked Wolong City before noon.

Seeing the enemy advancing so lightly, Yu Lihuang sneered and shouted angrily, "Fire!"

In an instant, the forts on the city wall formed a sky-wide net and bombarded the army army that almost rushed to the face of the Iron Legion. One of the reasons why Zhang Zhen did not attack the city that day was that the defensive forts in Wolong City were too strong. With these turrets pulled out, only the fortress can break through Crouching Dragon City at a low cost.

Ding Sancheng did not expect that the defensive forts of Wolong City did not suffer any losses, and even continued unabated. The artillery fire all over the sky caused all four legions to fall into the bombardment. For a while, the lineup was in chaos, and everyone was anxious to avoid the artillery fire How could they concentrate their firepower to attack the Iron Legion under the city?

The elders and ministers who were watching the battle on the mountain in the distance saw the four legions entering and were instantly scattered by the artillery fire from the defense city, and they all stared in shock.

"Damn it, didn't the Four Seas say that Zhang Zhen attacked Wolong City and destroyed and transferred all strategic equipment and materials. Why are all these defense city forts still there?!"

"Damn it, we were fooled. Crouching Dragon City surrendered without a fight, and gave the sheep an impregnable fortress for nothing!"

"Could the Four Seas Congress conspire with the sheep to plot against us?!" The minister was surprised.

"Impossible. The Four Seas' panic report is just because they are afraid that we will not come to attack Wolong City. If they are conspiring with the sheep, why lure us to come and attack us directly." Of course, the first elder knows that there is no conspiracy. There is a close connection.

"What should we do now? We can't hit the inner city on the left and right mountains, and it's very difficult to hit the Wengcheng with all the firepower. If Ding Sancheng doesn't withdraw, he may not wait until we arrange fire support on the left and right."

"Don't worry about Ding Sancheng, if he can retreat, he will withdraw by himself, and quickly set up two mountain positions. We can't attack the main city of Wolong City under the high mountain. First block the left and right sides, and then find a way to break through the city gate."

"Agreed, support is useless, let Ding Sancheng fight by himself."

Poor Ding Sancheng is worthless in the eyes of the Northern Expedition Management Committee, his only value is being a scapegoat.

And it did become a scapegoat. The four legions were not ready to attack the fort. They were scattered by the defensive artillery fire and barely evacuated to the outside of the fire area, but they were followed by the Iron Legion's attack.

The four legions still had the upper hand in numbers, and there were almost two-thirds left after they withdrew. Seeing that the Iron Legion was catching up, Ding Sancheng was so depressed that he was being beaten, and immediately ordered all the legions to turn back and fight the Iron Legion. He does not believe that the city's artillery support can't defeat the Iron Legion.

Then as soon as they turned around, the Iron Legion showed a tendency to retreat, and began to retreat while fighting.

Seeing it, Ding Sancheng became even more feverish, and led the legion to chase the Iron Legion regardless of 21 and [-].

As a result, there was a sudden explosion of artillery fire, and only then did he realize that his army was covered by the artillery fire of the defense city again. He was surprised for a while and hurriedly retreated. His withdrawn steel army began to chase and fight again.

After coming and going, more than half of the four legions led by Ding Sancheng were lost, and it was impossible to turn back and fight back. Calls for reinforcements were not called, so they had to continue to retreat in a hurry and fled outside the Wengcheng.

The Iron Legion chased them to the gate of the outer city and collected their soldiers. The abandoned and immovable chariots in the Wengcheng were scattered all over the place. Ding Sancheng only brought back one and a half legions of defeated generals and fled back to the camp.

When I went back, I was scolded by everyone in the management meeting, scolded him for advancing lightly, and scolded him for being incompetent in command. The four legions fled in embarrassment and lost nearly three legions.

Although Ding Sancheng is cruel and has a strong temper, he does not dare to express his anger in front of these people, even if he wishes to crush these people to death in his heart, and then drink their blood and eat their flesh, he has to show mercy repeatedly.

"Commander Ding is not to blame for the defeat in this battle. The Four Seas gave us wrong information. Wolong City is not an abandoned city. Remember this first. Let Commander Ding take the blame and make meritorious service."

"Go on, reflect on yourself, the only time you will become famous is when you capture Crouching Dragon City."

Ding Sancheng retreated gratefully. He knew that these people would not kill him. He would not die until the war ended. He had to be the scapegoat all the time. These high-ranking ministers were all so vicious. In war, the power is monopolized, and then a commander who actually has no decision-making power is appointed. The defeat is the responsibility of the commander, and the victory is theirs.

The matter of the scapegoat was settled, and the people in the management committee began to worry about how to fight Wolong City. Obviously, Wolong City's defensive ability was not damaged at all, and it seemed that they would not come out to fight them. They may all pile up in front of the city gate to attack the city, but there is no second way to attack the city, and the attack suddenly becomes a difficult task.

"Siege always has a price. If it were really easy, we wouldn't have sent so many legions here. I don't believe we can't take Crouching Dragon City with all our efforts!"

"The Ministry of Intelligence monitors that the temperature is dropping faster day by day, we must take down Wolong City immediately!"

"Prepare the combat power first, deploy long-range firepower to hit the fort, and pull out the fort to fully attack the city."

"Let the Ministry of Intelligence urge the Four Seas to mobilize troops, and not let the sheep come back from the fortress, so that we may be wasted in the cold night, which is not conducive to our combat. At the same time, we must ask them why Wolong City was unscathed, leaving the sheep with a natural fortress !"

Yu Lihuang watched the situation outside the city from the tallest sentry tower in the city. It was really a torment for him to defend the city and avoid the battle, but there were more than a dozen legions in front of him outside the city, and there were still some on the way. Good strategy.

He is also looking forward to the early arrival of the cold night. If the temperature can't drop quickly enough to enter the cold night, even though Crouching Dragon City is strong, it won't last long.

He also admired Zhang Zhen's resourcefulness and courage even more. This battle can only be won, and if he loses, he will have nothing, and he put everything on his own, including his life.

Zhang Zhen finally heaved a sigh of relief after getting the news that Yu Lihuang was sticking to the city. Now he is afraid that Yu Lihuang will lose his temper. He is not sure that the city will retreat and go out to fight. Then Crouching Dragon City will definitely not be able to defend the city for five days. As long as Yu Lihuang can bear it, he can defend ten The sky is not a problem at all, and the fortress is still immobile. He estimates that it will take at least ten days, but he dare not return to reality at this time.
