Throne of Vientiane Civilization

"Send a signal and ask Drogo and the others to harass the large force on the opposite side. Once the large force on the opposite side is completely approaching, they will withdraw."

The brief meeting just now made Zhou Xu basically confirm that the cavalry on the opposite side is indeed not good. In this case, they have the advantage of cavalry and there is no reason not to use this advantage.

"Harassment?"

After identifying the content of the signal and understanding it for a while, Drogo quickly understood its meaning, and then directly led his centaur cavalry to approach the large force on the opposite side in a roundabout way.

When the large army on the opposite side saw the centaur cavalry approaching, the soldiers tensed up unconsciously, but they did not appear too nervous.

After all, they have more than 3,000 troops here, and the centaur cavalry led by Drogo only has 50 cavalry.

With such a huge gap in strength, even if the cavalry has an advantage over the infantry, the other party has nothing to do with them.

Just when the troops here were thinking this, the centaur cavalry who had approached a certain distance did not hesitate to bend their bows and arrows, and flew a rain of arrows towards the large moving army.

Centaurs already exist in this world, so they are very aware of some of the attack methods of centaur cavalry.

Now facing the sweeping arrow rain, Long Zhantian, as the commander-in-chief of an army, quickly issued an order.

"Raise your shield!"

After receiving the order, the soldiers raised their shields high above their heads and deflected all the arrows falling from the sky.

At the same time, they also ordered their own cavalry to move over and confront the centaur cavalry headed by Drogo from a distance, but they had no intention of getting close easily.

After all, Long Zhantian also knew in his heart that their cavalry team was no match for the centaur cavalry on the opposite side. If they took the initiative to kill them, they would most likely have to pay the price.

Instead of doing that, it is better to keep a distance, rely on the large army, and have a little bit of fun with the opponent.

Drogo roughly guessed the opponent's thoughts by looking at the opponent's movements, but it had to be said that even if they knew that the opponent's cavalry was pulling their hips, they did have to pay a little attention when the opponent's presence was so present throughout the whole process. This action of the other party still had some effect.

During this period, Long Zhantian also knew that he should not waste time dealing with the centaur cavalry, so he commanded the large army to speed up and advance outside Huangsha City.

As a result, Drogo and the others no longer dared to wander outside, and quickly ran back to the city.

After all, this area is so big. If the other party relies on its military strength to encircle and block it, it will be a big threat to them.

Even if they forcefully break through with a war charge, if they stay outside, they will still have to face a food supply problem in the future.

Once the opponent besieges the city, the trouble will be even greater. It is better to withdraw to the city and be safe.

While Drogo and the others retreated into the city, the large force that advanced led by General Long Zhantian did not rush to launch an offensive. Instead, they sent out the cavalry again to search the surrounding areas.

With the large forces pressing outside, the Zhou garrison in the city really didn't dare to act rashly.

After a full search, the cavalry commander quickly reported to Long Zhantian.

"Report to the general, the mines outside the city and the garrison camps near the edge of the world are empty."

Long Zhantian nodded after confirming the news.

[At that time, the number of enemy troops was not large, only about 500 by visual inspection. The mines outside the city were empty, which meant that the enemy had discovered those slaves who were defending the country. 】

[Without confirming whether the other party will replenish its troops in the future, if those slaves of the Patriotic State are used as combat force, then there will now be at least a thousand garrison troops in Huangsha City. 】

Their spies in Huangsha City are mixed among the people. Once the city defense area is sealed, the spies cannot easily get close and understand the situation inside.

However, through simple analysis, Long Zhantian still had some clues.

[According to His Majesty's speculation, this should be the enemy coming from the opposite side of the energy channel. The troops we sent there before are most likely in danger. 】

[At the same time, the other party is transferring the population of Huangsha City. According to the spies' report, at least half of the population in Huangsha City has been transferred. 】

[If you want to stop it, the best way is to besiege the city, but now the opponent has at least a thousand garrison troops. With the few troops I have now, it would be unwise to besiege the city. 】

Although at the beginning, as the defender of Huangsha City, Long Zhantian carelessly underestimated the enemy when facing the Zhou army with only 500 troops, which eventually led to Huangsha City being easily breached in less than an hour, this was not Said he was really that rubbish.

After getting serious, Long Zhantian, who was able to stand out among many generals and become a guard general, was somewhat capable. Now his mind was clear and he was not confused.

Normally, he should camp on the outside and rest for a night or even a few days before officially attacking the city.

But considering that the centaur cavalry on the opposite side had the ability to fight at night, Long Zhantian gave up the idea.

"Prepare to attack the city!"

The order was given, the horn sounded, and the large troops under his command quickly spread out into battle.

Long before officially entering the scope of Huangsha City, Long Zhantian specifically ordered to slow down the advancement efficiency and let the soldiers slowly adjust their status.

This gave them the capital to directly launch a siege.

On the outside of Huangsha City, a large shield soldier holding a large shield directly formed the front row of the shield wall, escorting the siege ram in the middle, cooperating with the rear row troops to advance.

Since the environment here does not produce any good cavalry, the battles here are basically based on infantry combat. This also means that the strength of the infantry here cannot be underestimated.

Although I said before that the battering ram is not something to be afraid of, if it hits too many times, the city gate will not be able to withstand it.

Considering this, Shi Lei did not dare to let the other party approach their city gate easily.

"Command the archers to prepare to release arrows!"

The centaur cavalry who had just rushed back into the city now cooperated with other soldiers to act as archers.

After receiving the order, round after round of arrow rain quickly swept towards the advancing phalanx on the opposite side.

Normal defense methods like this can only be said to be completely expected by the opponent. The large shields were specially prepared for this moment. No matter how the arrows swept across, they could not break through the shield array.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the city gate on the opposite side quietly opened.

Immediately afterwards, there was only a muffled sound, and along with the cold light passing by at extremely high speed, the unparalleled power instantly exploded the tightly connected shield wall, and with it, the entire attack trajectory was blocked behind the shield wall. The soldiers were all brutally killed!

In an instant, large pieces of flesh, blood, and even internal organs began to splash on the battlefield!
