However, Zho Yi's previous analysis was limited to the current battle.

Lu Gi wanted him to think further ahead.

Zhao Yi's talent was evident, and under Lu Gi's guidance, after a moment of contemplation, he quickly came to a realization.

Songhzan City is Zhao Dong and redeploying troops to Songhan City.

Most likely, Lu Gi replied calmly, but that would take at least more than 5 days.

And if it's a large-scale troop redeployment, it might take even longer.

So, isn't he sending troops to buy time for Son City? Zhaoi said, his eyes narrowing as he noticed two towering siege towers appearing in the enemy's formation in the distance.

Seeing this scene, Zhao he was taken aback that s a siege tower as siege equipment.

Siege towers are significantly more costly than siege vehicles and they're also more timeconuming and labor intensive to construct.

Each siege tower needs to be nearly the same height as the city wall and a large number of soldiers would hide inside the tower.

When the soldiers outside push the siege tower to the enemy's wall, the soldiers inside will rush out to capture the wall.

Moreover, these two siege towers were clearly one of Zhao Dong Nan's trump cards, which he took out this time to intimidate Luo Gi.

And that is not all.

Upon closer inspection, Lu G also noticed the unit specifically carrying ladders, the kind that rush to the city wall and set up ladders to climb up.

The advantage of ladders is obviously their low cost, making them one of the siege tools that rely on quantity to achieve victory.

After all, you could tell just by looking at them how high the cost of a siege tower is.

It must be said that the threat level of the enemy's siege troops had indeed risen sharply, putting significant pressure on Lu OG, who was standing on the city wall, while also showcasing the depth of experience of a veteran player at the bronze rank.

Do you see this? Zhao Dong Nin clearly has no intention of letting me have the capacity to attack Son City, let alone that it is a rugged mountain city.

With such terrain, whether siege equipment can even be pushed up is a question.

In other words, to capture Son City, we might have to rely on sheer manpower.

Under this premise, if the enemy is determined to defend the city wall, it would be very difficult for us to capture relying solely on the troops stationed at Dongjing City.

Not to mention that we cannot deploy all the forces from Dong Jing city.

We must leave 500 troops to guard the city.

In this situation, unless I draw troops from Suna City, but as you can see, the situation at Sun City is dire with the enemy's massive army pressing down.

If Sun City is seized back by Zhao Dong Nan, you should know what that means, right? Zhao, you certainly understood what that meant.

Once Sona City was taken back, they stationed at Dongjing City would instantly face a double attack for both Song City and Song City.

Their situation would become very precarious.

However, if we do not capture Song Han City before the enemy reinforcements arrive once they arrive, the troops at Seghan City will take the initiative to attack and we stationed at Song City will still be subjected to a pinser attack from both sides.

Exactly.

Luo Gene nodded in agreement then changed the subject.

So he is waiting for reinforcements and I am also waiting for reinforcements.

The troops that arrived at Dong Jing city earlier were just a vanguard led by Gua and Gujan while his main force was still behind.

While speaking, the siege troops outside had already sounded the horn of attack.

Watching the crossbows being pushed out from the enemy formation, Lu G raised his hand, signaling the crossbowmen to start operating the three bow crossbows he had set up on the city wall to target the enemy.

This was a probing skirmish.

But Lu Gi was taking it very seriously, pressing step by step because he understood that if he showed weakness, the enemy would likely launch a full-scale attack, especially with two siege towers present combined with crossbows, ladders, and siege vehicles.

The strength of this siege force was quite formidable.

Furthermore, with the advantage in numbers, given his current garrison strength, if it came down to a full-on fight, the odds were not in his favor.

Therefore, in this situation, he could not show weakness.

He had to fight aggressively, making the enemy uncertain of his true strength in order to intimidate them into retreating.

However, now was not yet the time.

Chapter 271.

Reinforcements arrived.

This skirmish was destined to result in minimal casualties.

Luog who did not have the troop advantage could not pursue outside the city and the attacking side with its probing purpose could not afford to lose too many troops in a test.

Both commanders were aware of this engaging in a game of Tai Chi and after two rounds of siege the troops from Shang Yuan city quickly sounded the retreat.

During this period they hadn't tied the siege towers just as Luo Gi had guessed.

Zhao Donan pushed out the siege towers more for intimidation.

After all, he had witnessed the power of Luog's three bow crossbows.

There was no need to risk damaging the siege towers in a probing skirmish.

After all, they were expensive.

Meanwhile, the news quickly reached Zhao Donan's hands.

Looking at the battle report in his hand, Zhao Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At least the situation had stabilized, although it was already bad enough that the enemy had occupied Dongjing City and Sun City in a lightning fast attack at the beginning.

Fortunately, there was still room for recovery.

Next, according to his plan, the main force of Shang Yuan City only needed to hold back that Luo G, waiting for the reinforcements from the other side to circle around and arrive at Songhan City.

At that time, a front and back pinser attack would directly trap Luo Gi inside Son City, killing him in one go and ending the battle.

By the end of this thought, a cold killing intent had already emerged in Zhao Dongan's eyes.

Days passed and since that skirmish, the troops of Shang Yuan City must have set up camp nearby, running around Luo GS eyes like completing daily tasks, occasionally launching sudden attacks on the city, clearly exhausting their energy and attracting their attention.

This move from the other side was a clear tactic.

Even if he knew Zhao Dong was holding him back, he could not truly ignore the 2,000 troops outside Sa City.

The two sides maintained a rhythm of mutual restraint and mutual exhaustion.

By the seventh day of the full-scale war on this day, with the setting sun, the reinforcement from Shiuan city successfully settled in Sona City after several days of marching.

Watching the trucks filled with stones being transported into the city, Zhao E, who had come along with Lu Gi, couldn't he help but be stunned.

If these stones were to be called sling stones, they seemed a bit too small.

If not, he couldn't he think of what so many round stones could be used for.

Chief, were these stones? Zhao he asked with a puzzled expression, adhering to the good habit of asking when he didn't understand.

They're stone projectiles, Lu G replied calmly.

But why bring so many stone projectiles? If they are sling stones, there should be plenty stored on the walls of S city.

And isn't this too small? These projectiles are for the stonethrowers.

stonethrowers.

Zhaoi<unk>'s expression froze for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he finally reacted as this term was too distant and unfamiliar to him.

For them, the term stonethrower basically only existed in the bragging of the previous generation.

Lu Gi, who understood this situation, was slightly surprised.

It seemed that Zhao Dong and had developed longer than he had expected.

However, thinking about it wasn't too surprising.

During the development process, even modern people sometimes found it difficult to advance their civilization if they couldn't tea find certain special resources.

One of the most direct examples is that if you can't find copper in tin mines, you can't smell bronze and enter the bronze age.

Moreover, looking further back, before finding copper mines, you must first find coal mines or other fuel sources because the temperature generated by burning regular wood is insufficient to smelt copper.

It's not unusual for some players to get stuck at a certain stage for several years due to not finding certain resources.

LuG's early development went relatively smoothly, but even so, including the 6-month novice period, he had spent 3 to four years in the unranked tier.

The span of the bronze tier is clearly longer than that of the unranked tier.

Looking at these cities, Luog estimated that Zhao Dongan must have developed for several decades.

and Joe, he was only in his 20s when he was born.

The stonethrower unit had probably long been eliminated.

Facing a unit from his father's or even grandfather's generation, it was understandable that Zhao he couldn't react immediately.

After he did, his expression was filled with stranges.

Before this actually happened, he could never have imagined that he would see the stonethrower unit.

What was even stranger was that in the past few days, he had witnessed that Lu Gi had archery units that were completely comparable to those of the great Joe.

Under this premise, what was the significance of retaining such an ancient unit as the stonethrower? While Zhao, he was pondering this, a man in bronze armor walked towards them.

The appearance of the other party caught Zhao Yi's attention.

In this era, even in the developed great Joe, only high-ranking individuals were qualified to wear bronze armor.

And the one before him was most likely the commander responsible for leading the troops to provide support.

This commander gave Zhao e a very different feeling.

He seemed to exude a calm aura without doing anything, as if there was nothing he couldn't he handle.

His pace was neither hurried nor slow, as if each step was measured evenly.

Just as Zho Yi's thoughts were racing, the man had already walked up to Luo Gi, then knelt on one knee, saying, "I am Xiaoan.

I greet the clan leader.

" The clan leader.
