From Soldier To Emperor

Chapter 227: Incredible night attack

The outer city, which was almost captured on the first day of the Xizhou Siege, proved a truth: During the war, the will of the people at the bottom was often more useful than the rich class who occupied a minority of the population.

Especially in an era when productivity is lagging behind and fighting is mainly based on manpower!

If you switch to the earth civilization of the 21st century, the number of troops will naturally not matter. The battle depends on whose aircraft is advanced, whose missiles are more accurate, whose aircraft carriers are enough and ruthless, and whose nuclear weapons can be dropped to the enemy without obstacles. On the homeland...

As for the number of troops, it has become a supplementary option in the face of various large-scale destruction weapons...

Of course, this is the situation in the era of nuclear peace after the emergence of nuclear weapons. Before the era of nuclear peace, human resources still dominated the war.

After Zhao Li's failure, Long Letian dared not pin his hopes on Xizhou Minyong. The gang of masters saw that they were hacked to death, and basically collapsed without a trace...

Xizhou Minyong was successfully transferred from the frontline force to a logistic coolie...

A large number of Long Jiajun and the original army officers sent to the city.

As a result, in the first day of the siege, the auxiliary army never took advantage. For three consecutive rounds of offensive, they all smashed their heads on the wall, and the progress was not as great as the first round of offensive!

However, even though Richard’s auxiliary army suffered a great loss in the first day of the siege and did not get the slightest result, Long Letian in Xizhou City could no longer ‘happy’...

Xizhou Minyong's performance made Long Letian realize that tens of thousands of Minyong can be eliminated from the defenders, and they are not even qualified to be cannon fodder!

Long Letian could see it through. Not only did the Xizhou people have poor fighting ability, but they didn't want to fight at all in their hearts. This was also an important reason why the enemy had avalanche when he came up!

Xizhou Min Yong was able to set foot on the city head, completely forced by the Long Family Army with a knife.

But after the enemy attacked, the Long Family Army had to fight the enemy, and had no energy to kill the defeated Xizhou Minyong.

Without these tens of thousands of Xizhou people, can the Long Family Army of more than 10,000 people defend Xizhou City?

Even if you add in all the government soldiers and officials in Xizhou City, the total number of soldiers is less than 20,000!

What's more, Long Letian found that the local government soldiers and officials in Xizhou were also very motivated to fight, and there was often a lot of anti-war sentiment in the team.

Had it not been for a group of landlord and country gentry to appease the repression, I am afraid these government soldiers and officials would have dispersed long ago...

Richard used the land to gain the hearts of the people and used his army to forge a victory. Long Letian only owns one city, which is less than one-tenth of the enemy's strength!

The most important thing is that Long Letian knows that the enemy sent out to attack the city is the weakest auxiliary army, and above it is a field army composed of Han soldiers, as well as Richard's Dao soldiers who are not afraid of death.

Those newly-emerged Western Region Army regiments were also regarded by Long Letian as Licha Dao soldiers.

After all, the information he collected from all aspects of the Western Regions Legion showed that, except for the weapons and equipment that were not as good as Richard's Dao soldiers, the rest were pretty much the same.

For example, the officers and soldiers of the Western Regions Corps did not receive any salary and still maintained high-intensity military training without complaints. The military disciplines were strict but no deserters appeared. The officers and soldiers were generally treated in all respects but had an incredibly fanatical personality cult towards Richard...

Isn't this the characteristic of Richard's Dao soldiers?

If an army is so fanatical and loyal to a person, it doesn’t need any benefits. Long Letian can't think of any other army except Richard's soldiers...

"Hey, I don't know if Xizhou City can hold it for a month..."

One month is the minimum period for Long Letian to defend the city, because the dispatched Long Batian and the Long Family members will take at least one month before they can bring troops to support.

This is already the fastest speed. Even if soldiers are not required to receive training, it will take time to gather people together, not to mention the need to raise military supplies such as food.

Fortunately, the Long Family Army has a high degree of loyalty to Long Letian. They are all the old troops he brought out with his own hands. There are also a lot of people. Most of the resources that Long Letian has searched are smashed into this army, and the whole army is facing the dragon. Both Jia and Long Letian are grateful to Dade.

This is the essential difference between the Long Family Army and the local government soldiers in Xizhou.

Long Jiajun knew who he was fighting for, and he was willing to fight for it. Fighting was naturally brave.

Long Letian transformed the Long Family Army into his own private army and invested a lot of money, which was considered a reward.

Just when Long Letian was about to fall asleep with his concubine in his arms, there was a sudden rushing sound from outside, and the voice of his personal servant was frightened and anxious into the room: "Master, the big event is not good, the outer city suddenly appeared A large number of non-human monsters took advantage of the darkness to attack the city, and the outer city walls have already fallen!"

"what?!"

After Long Letian heard a carp sit up on the bed, he slammed the affectionate concubine beside him coldly, ignoring the tender cries and crying of the concubine, and hurriedly began to put on the clothes.

Long Letian didn't understand, he obviously asked the Long Family Army to set up a police post to prevent sneak attacks at night~www.wuxiahere.com~ Why did the outer wall fall so quickly?

Night combat is a very taboo way for the ancient army, because night combat has extremely high requirements for military spirit and the quality of soldiers.

If the morale is not high enough to fight at night, there will be a large number of deserters, and under the dark, it is difficult to be found in groups of small soldiers.

Therefore, after the night battle starts, an army with low morale can basically run halfway without the enemy...

Wait till the fight starts, let alone!

Secondly, even if the morale of the army is sufficient and the training is in place, it will be difficult to cooperate with each other in the daytime due to the limited view of the fighting at night, and it is easy to fall into the situation of fighting separately, and even in many cases it will be An accidental injury occurred.

This is not the problem of night blindness. If night blindness is common in the army, no matter how high the morale and the quality of the soldiers are, we must firmly avoid night attacks!

In fact, even if the soldiers of Richard's system headquarters launched a night battle, they would not be able to exert their full strength. If they could guarantee that they would not accidentally injure the friendly army, they would be regarded as the elite of this era!

Night raids in the wild place such high demands on the offensive side, not to mention night attacks on the city. Unless the defenders are lax, it will be difficult to successfully attack the city at night.

Because the soldiers guarding the city are familiar with the terrain, as long as they have early warning and defense in advance, there will not be much chaos even in the dark, and they can occupy favorable terrain on the spot to attack the enemy.

Therefore, stealing the city at night must take advantage of the defenders to seize the gate before it can be successful, otherwise it is basically to die...

With Long Letian's arrangement in advance, this is almost impossible, so he feels unbelievable that he has fallen to the outer wall.

What Long Letian didn't know was that Richard had a natural night army under his hands-the Undead Corps!
