Chapter 272 Reinforcement Arrives

This outpost battle is destined to have few casualties. Luo Ji, who does not have the dominant force, cannot go out to pursue the city, and the siege party with a tentative purpose is also unlikely to lose too many of their own troops in a trial. The commander knew in his heart that you and I were playing Tai Chi. After two rounds of siege, the troops of Shangyuan City quickly retreated. During this period, the siege tower was not even used.

Just as Luo Ji had guessed, Zhou Dongnan pushed the siege tower out more to act as a deterrent. After all, he had seen the power of Luo Ji's three-bow crossbow before, so there was no need to fight it in a battle. Pushing siege towers forward at the risk of damage in a tentative outpost battle is expensive!

At the same time, the news from this side was quickly delivered to Zhou Dongnan. Looking at the battle report in his hand, Zhou Dongnan was secretly relieved. At least the situation was stabilized, although he was hit by a wave from the opposite side at the beginning of the game. The situation that the blitzkrieg captured Eastbound City and Songhe City was bad enough, but fortunately there was still room for recovery.

Next, according to his plan, he only needs to let the main force of Shangyuan City contain that Luo Ji, and wait until the reinforcements on the other side arrive at Songshan City. In Songhe City, kill the opponent in one breath and end the battle! Thinking of the end, there was already a cold killing intent in Zhou Dongnan's eyes!

Day by day, since the outpost battle, Shangyuan City's troops should have just found a place to camp nearby, and then run around under Luo Ji's nose every day as if they were completing their daily tasks. , From time to time, they would suddenly attack the city, making it clear that it was consuming their energy and attracting their attention.

The opponent's move was a proper conspiracy. Even if he knew that Zhou Dongdong was restraining him, he couldn't really ignore the two thousand troops outside Songhe City. The two sides maintained a rhythm of restraining and consuming each other. , On the seventh day of the total war, on this day, along with the sinking sunset, reinforcements from Xiyuan City successfully settled in Songhe City after several consecutive days of marching...

Looking at the stones that were transported into the city one by one, Zhou Yi, who followed Luo Ji along, couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. He said that these stones were beating stones, but they seemed to be too small. I really can't think of the use of so many round stones.

"Boss, what are these stones?" Zhou Yi asked with a puzzled look, showing his good habit of asking questions when he didn't understand.

"It's a stone bullet." Luo Ji said calmly.

"But what are you doing with so many carts and boulders? If there are rambling stones, there should be a lot of them on the walls of Songhe City, and this head is too small."

"These stone bullets are for slingers."

"Throwing, throwing stone soldiers?" Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he finally came to his senses, because this term was a bit too old for him, and at the same time, it was quite unfamiliar to them. The three words "slinger" basically only existed when the previous generation was bragging.

Luo Ji, who learned about this situation, was also a little surprised. It seems that this Zhou Dongdong has been developing for longer than he expected, but on second thought, it seems that it is not a rare thing, because in the process of development, even if It is a modern person. Sometimes if you cannot find some special resources, it will be difficult for you to promote the development of your own civilization.

One of the most direct examples is that if you cannot find copper and tin mines, you will not be able to smelt bronze, and you will not be able to enter the Bronze Age. At the same time, if you go forward, you must find coal mines before you can find copper mines. , or other things that act as fuel, because according to the temperature generated by ordinary wood burning, it is not enough to cast copper!

Some players can't find certain resources. It's not uncommon to have a card for several years at a certain stage. Luo Ji's development is relatively smooth in the early stage, but even so, if you count the six-month novice Period, he also stayed in Wudan for three or four years.

And the Bronze rank is obviously longer than the non-dan rank. Looking at the cities, Luo Ji guessed that Zhou Dongnan had developed for decades, right? And Zhou Yi was only in his twenties. When he was born, the slinger was probably already eliminated...

In the face of a soldier from his father's generation, or even his grandfather's generation, it was natural that Zhou Yi could not react for a while, but after reacting, the expression on his face was full of weirdness.

Before this happened, he could not have imagined that he could still see the slinger, and what was even more strange was that he had seen it in the past few days. Compared with the archer army, which is not inferior at all, what is the significance of retaining the ancient arm of the slinger under this premise? Just as Zhou Yi was thinking about it, a man in bronze armor came towards them...

The appearance of the other party caught Zhou Yi's attention. In this era, even Da Zhou, who has developed so far, is qualified to wear bronze armor. Those are all general-level figures, and the one in front of him is probably in charge of this time. The general who came to support the soldiers.

This general gave Zhou Yi a very different feeling. He clearly didn't do anything, but his whole body exuded a calm aura, as if there was nothing he couldn't handle, and his steps were not in a hurry. Slowly, as if the interval between each step is the same.

Just as Zhou Yi's thoughts were spinning, the man walked slowly in front of Luo Ji, then knelt down on one knee, "Last commander Zhao Pan, see the patriarch!"

"Patriarch..." Hearing this title, Zhou Yi flashed a thought in his eyes. Since that day, he obviously knew that this title had a certain special meaning. When ordinary soldiers and officers called Luo Ji, they always called the leader. , and will call the patriarch, he currently only knows two, one is Luo Yong, and the other is obviously the Zhao Pan in front of him.

The bravery of Luo Yong's axe to split Liu Hu in half left a deep impression on him, and the Zhao Pan in front of him was obviously not an ordinary character.

Just as he was thinking about this, Luo Ji, who was standing beside him, had already opened his mouth, with a hint of joy in his voice and a hint of relaxation at the same time, "Zhao Pan, all the way from Tiebi City to this side, thank you for your hard work. already."

"It's not hard work at the end, thank the patriarch for your concern."

"Come on, let me introduce you, this is Zhou Yi who just returned to my command a few days ago." While speaking, Luo Ji reached out and patted Zhao Pan's shoulder again, "Zhou Yi, this is Zhao Pan, the one I trust the most. One of my confidants and favorite generals, with him around, it would not be easy for the two thousand siege troops of Shangyuan City to break through the western city wall of Songhe City, and maybe even beat them back directly!"
