However, while Xiao Pan understood, it didn't mean he would allow it.
Let us not mention that the enemy definitely left some personnel behind just in case.
Even regarding troop deployment, how could we attack? Just relying on 10 shield axe soldiers and five archers.
The stonethrowers aren't suitable to charge out with you.
If we can't win and need to retreat, the stone throwers would suffer heavy casualties due to their speed.
After all, when the chief initially deployed the troops for the Iron Wall tribe, it was primarily with defensive forces in mind, not to have us risk a charge.
Having said that, Xiaoan took a breath.
In other words, our current goal should be to hold the Iron Wall tribe and wait for the chief to lead reinforcements to support us rather than taking unnecessary risks.
Lu Jang, who was not good at verbal disputes, could not possibly compete with Xiaoan, especially since Xiao Pan spoke with reason, leaving him no room for rebuttal.
He suddenly felt dejected.
All right, since that is the case, I'll take a nap to regain my strength.
Call me when the enemy attacks.
Mm.
Xiao Pan responded.
To be honest, not just Lu Jang, he felt he also needed to take a short nap.
Originally, he was under a lot of pressure being assigned to oversee the third division by Lu OG.
However, due to his personality, he would t show this pressure on his face.
For months, he had diligently protected the safety of the Iron Wall tribe.
Not daring to relax even when the enemy wasn't present.
With the appearance of the outsiders, the pressure he was already under increased drastically.
Since last night, his mind had been preoccupied with various scenarios that might occur and contemplating various response plans.
After a whole night, he hardly slept at all.
The phrase exhausting efforts could not be more apt for him.
Leaning in his tent now that he was alone, Xiaopan finally relaxed his previously tense expression and an unmistakable weariness appeared on his face.
Update delivered.
Thanks to book friend mood shown for the reward.
End of this chapter.
Chapter 150.
Both sides going allout commander.
The siege troops of the outsiders have begun to gather.
A subordinates report came from outside the tent.
Xiaoan who was taking a short nap abruptly opened his eyes.
After regaining his composure, he spoke instructing all the defending troops to gather behind the city gate and he would be there soon.
After saying this, Ziao Pan quickly got up, scooped a bowl of water from a clay pot used for storing water, splashed his face with cold water, and the fatigue on his face was quickly concealed.
From the moment he stepped out of the tent, he transformed back into the calm and steadfast general defending the city.
What position have the outsiders siege troops advanced to? Xiaoan's steady voice inexplicably calmed the soldiers, who were still visibly tense.
A century quickly ran over to report.
Still 300 paces away.
Hearing this, Ziaoan nodded, already formulating a plan in his mind.
He then issued commands loudly.
For this round of the siege, the stonethrowing troops would be divided into two groups.
The first, second, and third squads would focus on suppressing the enemy's siege troops, referred to as team one, while the fourth squad would suppress the enemy's archers, referred to as team two.
When to act, listen to my orders.
In addition, the archer team is responsible for sniping the enemy's siege vehicles, and the shield and axe troops will continue their duties, ensuring the safety of the stonethrowing troops.
Yes.
The soldiers of the various units replied in unison upon hearing the orders.
Subsequently, Xiaoan casually picked up a spare round leather shield and directly climbed onto one of the watchtowers, clearly intending to personally command the battle.
After all, compared to the centuries, as a stonethrower himself, he could issue commands more accurately after visually confirming the distance of the enemy troops.
Outside the city, the outsiders siege troops were advancing with all their might.
Clearly trying to push forward a distance beforehia and the others as the defending side could react.
However, how fast could they really be? Even in the era of cold weapons, the fastest light cavalry could hardly charge all the way to the enemy city gate before the defending troops reacted and infantry was even less likely unless the defending troops were all blind.
Not to mention cavalry was not suited for siege warfare.
Jeang Yishing was clearly aware of where his advantages lay.
Before the enemy could take action, he decisively commanded his archer troops to fire two volleys to suppress the enemy.
covering the advance of his own siege troops.
The enemy's harassment tactics made him anxious.
Originally intending to engage in a war of attrition, he now urgently wanted to breach the enemy's city gate before sunset, but was clearly not easy to deal with and would not let him have it his way.
He decisively commanded his stonethrowing troops to retaliate, and waves of stones flew out from behind the ancient city walls, making it difficult for the advancing siege troops, who were all struggling to hold their shields up.
Standing in the back, Jeang Ying felt the change in the enemy's stonethrowing troops offensive.
Compared to yesterday's concentrated attacks, today's offense was clearly more dispersed.
Realizing this, his face turned serious.
This was a tough opponent.
He glanced at his own soldiers.
Although they had taken a short rest, their mental state was still poor.
The enemy had seized on their weakness, daring to disperse the stonethrowing troops offensive and suppressing both flanks.
In the blink of an eye, several soldiers from the siege troops were struck by flying stones bleeding from their heads.
Jeang Yishin couldn't help but grit his teeth.
here.
He was ranked 27th in the leaderboard and he was going to fall to a player who hadn't even made it into the top 100.
What kind of joke was this? With that thought, Jeang Yishung, feeling equally fierce, decisively waved his hand, activating the inspire morale skill.
No need to save arrows anymore.
The archer troops were to shoot with all their might, suppressing the enemy and covering the advance of the siege troops.
The highfrequency continuous shooting would increase the burden on the archers arms.
As a veteran of siege warfare, Jeang Yishing had previously considered a war of attrition, needing to allocate both stamina and arrows reasonably, coupled with the effective suppression from the enemy's stonethrowing troops yesterday.
He had not been able to unleash full firepower in various senses.
But now he couldn't he worry about that anymore.
If the war of attrition continued, he might be the one worn down in the end.
Realizing this, he was determined to breach the iron wall tribes city gate before sunset.
Facing the suddenly intensified ranged attacks, the most affected were undoubtedly the defending troops behind the city gate.
The exaggerated rain of arrows left 10 shield and axe soldiers unable to defend themselves, even putting their own safety at risk.
The stonethrowing troops, which had previously enjoyed a relatively comfortable environment, suddenly faced a powerful blow.
Many defending soldiers were immediately turned into pin cushions by the barrage of arrows.
This sudden change made the usually calm, "HZhia Pan flash a look of surprise.
" He quickly activated the inspire morale skill and shouted, "All stonethrowing troops fall back 30 paces.
" Xiao Pan's timely inspire morale helped stabilize his troops morale, preventing it from plummeting too sharply after the attack, barely maintaining control of the situation in the camp.
However, the next moment was crucial.
They actually had a backup plan from the looks of it.
The outsider leader must have realized that continuing to exhaust each other would actually be beneficial for him.
Was he now planning to forcefully attack the city in one go? Relying solely on team 2's range firepower was simply not enough to suppress this group of outsider archers.
Using the round leather shield for defense, Xiaoan glanced at the archers standing on the high ground outside, and his mood became extremely grave.
Order the stonethrowing troops to concentrate fire on the enemy's archers and force them back.
At that moment, various thoughts flashed through his mind as he considered strategies to respond.
No.
Oh, if that were the case, the siege troops would definitely push forward in one go.
Once they reached the vicinity of the city gate, the angle of the stonethrower's attacks would no longer threaten them.
Once the city gate was breached, we would undoubtedly lose.
A drop of cold sweat slid down his forehead.
At that moment, under immense psychological pressure, Xiaopan made a risky decision.
All stonethrowing troops, listen up.
Adjust the attack angle 30° to the left and concentrate fire on the siege troops.
