Although Zhao Hai ordered the army to retreat, he didn't immediately return to the main tent. He kept looking at the walls of Nanyu City. This was because Zhao Hai knew that the army's retreat wouldn't be easy. It would take a long time. And during this time, the army would have no formation to protect them. If the enemy were to attack them at this time, then the losses would be very big.
However, Zhao Hai felt relieved. This was because he discovered that the enemy didn't attack them. This made Zhao Hai curious. He looked carefully and saw that there were a lot of enemies working on the shadow cannons. However, the enemy didn't fire. This made Zhao Hai feel relieved. There were only two possibilities. First, the enemy's weapons needed to cool down. This possibility was very big. After all, it was impossible for weapons to work forever. The second possibility was that the enemy's weapon was too slow to reload. This was not strange. Sometimes, spirit design weapons took a long time to activate.
It wasn't until the army entered the camp that Zhao Hai came down from the gate and went directly to the command tent. At this time, the Generals were also present. Zhao Hai looked at them and said, "Everyone, let's talk about our losses first."
A general stood up and said, "Alliance Lord, we lost more than a thousand people this time. None of them had any injuries, but they were all dead. It's very strange, it's as if they were asleep."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "Is there anything else? Did we lose any livestock? "
Another general replied, "We lost about a hundred mules and horses. Because it was the front line, there were very few mules and horses. The situation of the mules and horses was similar to the people. We didn't see any injuries, they were all dead."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "It seems like our formation can't block their formation weapons. However, we don't need to worry too much. I just took a look at the enemy's weapon, it seems like the enemy's weapon loading speed is very slow. But I think that the enemy will soon discover this problem. They will think of a way to solve it. Either they increase the speed of the weapon loading, or they will fire it in batches. Therefore, we still need to be careful."
Everyone nodded, then a general said, "Alliance Master, can we lure them to fire a few of those weapons, and then have the Lightning Formation team quickly approach the enemy's city walls. Then we'll use the Lightning Formation to deal with their weapons."
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "That's a good idea. Moreover, we can also have the people in the front line carry a few more formations. This way, the defensive effect will be better. Perhaps there won't be so many casualties in the front line."
Everyone nodded. Then Zhao Hai said, "How about this. Tomorrow, each formation in the front line will be equipped with three formations. When used, all three formations must be used at the same time. This way, the defensive effect will be superimposed. Then we can equip the formation squad with warhorses. After the enemy fires their weapon, the formation squad will immediately go forward and attack the walls. Also, remember, each formation squad must be accompanied by more than a hundred Sky Dance Experts. When the enemy sees us using the formation squad to deal with them, they might send their Sky Dance Experts to deal with us. Although the Lightning Formation is very effective against Sky Dance Experts, we still need to be careful."
Everyone nodded, they agreed with Zhao Hai's words. It wasn't that they were afraid of losing the formation squad, they were just worried that the formations would be snatched away by the enemy.
Although Zhao Hai told them to be merciful, there was a saying that a compassionate person wouldn't lead an army. They can love their soldiers, but when it comes to sacrificing some people, they wouldn't have much of a reaction. Moreover, for generals like them, before the first battle, they would have already thought about how many losses they would suffer. Although they could think of ways to minimize their losses, it was impossible to say that they didn't suffer any losses. There were no wars without casualties. If they wanted to make sure that they didn't suffer any losses, then they wouldn't be able to fight.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "If we can really get rid of the enemy's weapon, then we'll have to strengthen our attack tomorrow. Be more ruthless."
Everyone nodded, then Zhao Hai said, "These weapons are certainly made by the Sacred Courtyard. It seems like the Sacred Courtyard has a lot of resources. If we can get our hands on these weapons, then it would be great. Right, inform the Broken River Ancestors and tell them to prepare. The enemy has already begun to use their trump cards, this means that they are ready to go all out against us. It's possible that they would ask the Broken River Ancestors to come forward. If we aren't prepared, then we would suffer a loss." Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Don't worry.
Everyone nodded. Chen Yonghe looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alliance Lord, why don't we ask the River Breaking Ancestors to attack them first? Wouldn't we have the upper hand this way? "
Zhao Hai replied, "Don't rashly send River Breaking Level Ancestors. Each one of them is a treasure trove. Not only are they the stabilizing force of a city-state, they are also the stabilizing force of a realm. If our realm loses too many River Breaking Level Ancestors, then it would be very troublesome. Therefore, it's best not to use River Breaking Level Ancestors for now. Alright, go and prepare. Cremate the corpses of the dead and send their ashes to their families. Also, make sure to send their pensions, and don't skimp on it. If the city-state has a cash flow problem, then they can ask for it from me. However, the pensions for the dead cannot be skimped on."
Everyone listened with awe. They knew that every time Zhao Hai spoke like this, it meant that he had made up his mind. If anyone dared to touch the money, then Zhao Hai wouldn't let them off. Regarding such an order, there was only one way to do it, and that was to complete it with all their might.
Zhao Hai looked at everyone and said, "Alright, go back and rest. Take care of your troops. Also, make sure that the night patrol is arranged properly. Don't let the enemy take advantage of any loopholes. Remember, there must be 50 Sky Dance Realm experts in the night patrol." Everyone nodded and then turned around to leave.
After everyone left the tent, Zhao Hai arrived in front of the tent. Looking at the distant city wall, he smiled faintly and said, "That's an interesting thing. If we can get it, then we can play with it."
The night passed without any words. The next day, the army woke up as usual. After eating their meal, they lined up in front of the camp. Then they began to attack the city wall once again.
Liu Kaide stood on the city wall and looked at the army with a dignified expression. At the same time, the general beside him looked at Liu Kaide in confusion and said, "General, they suffered a loss yesterday. Why are they attacking again today? Are they not afraid of death? "
Liu Kaide replied, "It's not that they aren't afraid of death, it's just that they have already thought of a way to deal with the shadow cannons. Pass down the order, we'll do as we said last night. Therefore, the shadow cannons will be fired in three batches. Go."
The general nodded, then he turned around and left. Before long, the general returned to Liu Kaide's side and said, "General, everything is ready."
Liu Kaide nodded, then he said, "Get ready. When the enemy starts to attack, we'll counterattack. First, we'll fire once. If they can block it, then we'll attack again."
The general nodded. Liu Kaide stood on the city wall with a calm expression. His eyes weren't looking at the army below the city wall. Instead, he looked past the army and looked at the camp outside the city. Liu Kaide could almost feel that someone was looking at the city wall from there. At this time, Zhao Hai also seemed to have sensed something. He looked at Liu Kaide's position. Although he couldn't see Liu Kaide and Liu Kaide couldn't see him, the two generals were able to sense each other's presence.
The army stopped moving forward. Then the chariots began to attack. When the chariots attacked, the shadow cannons on the city walls immediately fired. Black balls of light were shot towards the army. However, the density of the balls was much lower compared to yesterday.
At this time, the general standing beside Zhao Hai said, "Good, just as the Alliance Lord expected, they really left some leeway. Looking at their posture, it's much worse compared to yesterday."
Zhao Hai nodded, then he said, "After this wave of attack, we'll see how the other side reacts. Wait for our orders, then we'll attack again."
The general nodded. At this time, the black balls of light had already exploded in front of the Beaver Squad. However, the Beaver Squad seemed to have a transparent barrier that blocked the black balls of light. When the black balls of light disappeared, the Beaver Squad didn't suffer any losses.
Upon seeing this, the Beaver Squad couldn't help but cheer. They immediately launched another attack towards the city, reloading the Beaver Squad even faster.
When Liu Kaide saw this, his expression couldn't help but change. Then he said, "Second wave of shadow cannons, attack." The general immediately gave the order. Then the second wave of shadow cannons was launched.
However, this time, the attack didn't cause any damage to Zhao Hai's formation. The superposition of three layers of formation was much stronger than a single layer. If a single layer was broken, then the formation would be damaged. However, if three layers were superimposed, then the effect would be different. When Zhao Hai designed these formations, he thought that there would be a day when the formations couldn't withstand an attack. At that time, they would need to use the superposition effect. Because of this, the formations that he made could be superimposed. Moreover, after being superimposed, they would become a single entity. This was why they were able to block the attack of the shadow cannons.
After blocking the Dark Shadow Cannon's attack, the three people maintaining the formation also consumed a lot of energy. However, they had replacements by their side, and they would be able to maintain the formation at its strongest state very soon.
When Liu Kaide saw that the second wave of attacks was useless, he immediately launched the third wave. However, there was still no effect. Liu Kaide's expression finally changed.
When Zhao Hai saw that the three waves of attacks had finally stopped, he couldn't help but smile faintly. Then he turned to the general and said, "Go, have the formation team attack. Space Dance Experts and formation teams must keep up. River Breaking Ancestors must also be prepared." The general nodded, then he immediately sent someone to pass the order. He also felt that Zhao Hai was different. In the past, Zhao Hai wouldn't dare to order River Breaking Ancestors like Zhao Hai. However, Zhao Hai dared, and he wasn't polite at all.
After the order was passed down, the catapult phalanx slowly moved forward. At the same time, a group of cavalry also rushed out. This group of cavalry only had 2000 people. In front of an army of hundreds of thousands, there was nothing special about this group. However, the speed of this group of cavalry was very fast. In a blink of an eye, they had already reached one li underground. Then a white light shot towards the city wall. This white light was dense and fast, making the people on the city wall unable to react.
This was the first time Liu Kaide saw the might of the lightning array. He didn't think that the lightning array would be this powerful. The people who were using the shadow cannons on the city walls were swept away in large numbers. Even the shadow formation was hit by the white light, it was filled with holes.
Liu Kaide stood there in a daze, then he muttered, "So this is the lightning formation. Sure enough, it can be called lightning."
The general next to him pulled Liu Kaide and said, "General, you can't stand on the city wall, it's too dangerous. Quickly go down the city wall and hide." As he said that, he pulled Liu Kaide down the city wall.
Liu Kaide sighed, he didn't try to break free. He knew that he couldn't stay on the walls at this time. Therefore, he followed the general to the back of the walls. Some of the ballistas in the city were still tenaciously attacking. However, they were completely suppressed by Zhao Hai's formation.
After the formation team defeated the enemies on the walls, they didn't immediately return to the camp. Instead, they lingered outside the city. At this time, Zhao Hai's catapults began to show their might. They launched an indiscriminate attack on the city. At the same time, the siege towers and ladders were pushed out as they went straight towards the walls.
Although Liu Kaide went down the walls, he still placed an observation post on the walls. He thought that Zhao Hai's formation team would retreat after the first attack. He didn't expect that they didn't leave. This made Liu Kaide a bit embarrassed. After thinking about this, Liu Kaide turned to the general beside him and said, "Have the Sky Dance Experts move out. We must defeat their team. Go quickly." The general immediately went to pass the order.
Afterward, all the Sky Dance level experts in the city flew up and went straight towards the formation team. However, these Sky Dance level experts all had shields in their hands. This was unimaginable in the past. This was because Sky Dance level experts were very arrogant. Aside from their own weapons, they wouldn't use anything else. Using anything else would be an insult to them.
However, the Sky Dance Experts of the Holy Academy didn't dare to not use their defensive equipment. They were very clear that the lightning formation was too strong. Even if they were hit by it, they would still be injured. Because of this, they decided to use their defensive equipment. Although their defensive equipment wasn't a formation, they can still transfer their energy to it. This way, the defensive effect would be better.
