No matter how shocking the Mexican NPC army's counterattack was, Yang Rui did not know what to do. Yang Rui and all of his generals and soldiers did not feel the slightest bit of fear because of this.
Especially after the official battle, due to the large number of people on the attacking side, it was almost impossible to kill. It was so densely packed that Yang Rui's soldiers did not need to care too much about how to attack and could wipe out a large area. This was even more so for the long-range archers and javelin throwers.
Therefore, as soon as the battle started, Yang Rui's soldiers immediately showed a more valiant side than usual. They were like a war machine that was operating loudly, effectively swallowing the power of the attacking side.
However, no matter what, the battle of Aguarabas did not seem like a problem that could be solved overnight. When the strength and scale of the attacking and defending sides were large enough, there seemed to be no more effective solution other than a war of attrition.
"Kill!
”
Whoosh!
”
Whoosh!
”
“
”
The Mexican NPC army had already realized the terror of the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation. When they attacked, they did not blindly charge into Aguarabas. Instead, they chose to attack the city gate and the city wall at the same time.
As a result, the pressure on the defending soldiers on the city wall of Aguarabas increased. Not only did they have to attack the enemies within the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation from a distance, but they also had to deal with attacks from outside the city wall.
Especially when they were outside the range of the pyramid's radiation, as they were not supported by the main body of the city. The defending soldiers had to bear a heavier attack and defense.
With this level of attack and defense. Although there would not be too much of a problem in the short term. However, as time went on, the pressure on Yang Rui's defending troops would increase.
"Kill!
”
Whoosh!
”
Clang! Clang! Clang!
”

The war of attrition seemed to take a very long time. By the time dusk of the first game day arrived, the corpses of the soldiers outside Aguarabas had already reached the height of the city wall. True melee battles had occurred several times, and this was the result of the system's irregular respawning of the corpses.
Fortunately, Yang Rui had tens of thousands of Iron Guards, soldiers who were truly proficient in city wall battles, as well as soldiers who were proficient in close combat like the Capture Barracks. Furthermore, with the assistance of formations and the consummate skills of the various generals and commanders. To protect the city wall was not lost.
Naturally, it was unavoidable that Yang Rui's subordinates would suffer losses in the process. Most of them were still Fourth Grade Yellow Turban Soldiers.
At this moment, Yang Rui missed Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain ability. If Zhang Ning was here, she might be able to clean up and burn the corpses of the dead below the city wall in time. Then, they would be able to deal with the enemy and avoid a direct melee.
However, now that Zhang Ning and Yang Rui had completed their wedding, and she was already pregnant, Yang Rui could no longer bring her to the foreign dimension.
"Lord Governor, forgive me for being blunt. Judging from the current situation, even if we try our best, both sides will lose. In the end, it was possible that both sides would suffer losses, and whether or not they would be able to defend the city of Aguarabas was still uncertain.
”
Xu You frowned and said.
The night was getting darker. The attack and defense of the first game day had finally stopped. Yang Rui, Gao Shun, Guo Jia, Xu You, Dian Wei, Yu Jin, and several other generals were still discussing the defense strategy in the small meeting room of the Castle in the Sky.
After Xu You finished speaking, everyone present was silent. If there was no breakthrough, judging from the performance of the attackers and defenders of Aguarabas, as Xu You said, the result of the defense of the city would not be satisfactory.
Under such circumstances, it was hard to say whether or not they could defend Aguarabas in the end, not to mention that Yang Rui had originally planned to continue the mission of finding the Sacred Artifact.
Yang Rui moved away from Xu You's position and looked at Guo Jia's position. At this moment, Guo Jia had a thoughtful expression on his face.
Whether it was Guo Jia, Xu You, or Cheng Yu and the others who stayed in the area of the three civilizations, with Yang Rui's understanding of historical facts and game design, he always felt that the abilities of these famous NPCs were not what they had shown so far. They should have the ability to turn the situation around!
However, now it seemed that the abilities of Cheng Yu and Guo Jia should still be partially sealed by the system, or to prevent them from interfering too much with the normal process of the game.
As far as Guo Jia's performance was concerned, although he had shown high attainments in the field of formations and had also contributed a lot to Yang Rui's strategy, there was still a big gap between his abilities and Yang Rui's expectations.
Therefore, Yang Rui judged that the abilities of Guo Jia and others should not be in their final form.
At this time, it was not the time to discuss this issue. Yang Rui's thoughts quickly returned to the current situation. Seeing that Guo Jia still did not have a suitable opinion, Yang Rui's expression turned serious. He glanced around and spoke to stabilize the morale of the troops.
"Now that the situation is like this, everyone has been very attentive. At this time, we will take one step at a time and try to find opportunities to change the disadvantage in terms of strength.
At the same time, you don't have to worry too much. At this time, our achievements in the Alien Hegemony Tournament are already very good. Even if we give up defending the city at this time and end this trip to the Alien Hegemony Tournament, there is nothing wrong with it. We are only holding on at this time in anticipation of some changes.
Man proposes, God disposes. We just need to act as we see fit.
”
As a player, Yang Rui was very clear about the importance of a commander's attitude. After his words, the expressions of the people present had become much more relaxed.
However, what Yang Rui said was just a last resort. From the bottom of his heart, he still had to give it his all.
The next day, although the siege of Agua La Paz went on as usual, it seemed to be in accordance with Yang Rui's words. When Yang Rui, Guo Jia, and Xu You used the Sky City to observe the battle situation, unexpected changes suddenly appeared in front of them.
"Lord Governor! Lord, have you noticed the location of the provisions in the counterattack camps outside the city?! Maybe the victory of this battle depends on this! "
”
Following the direction that Guo Jia pointed, Yang Rui looked down from the window of the small meeting room. Only then did he find that the position of the Mexican civilization's army camp outside the city, near the rear, did indeed seem to be a place where provisions were stored!
According to the customs of the three civilizations, if there was a war, it was important to pay attention to provisions before the three armies moved. This was enough to prove the importance of provisions in the war.
However, there was a difference in the way the Mexican civilization's NPCs transported provisions. When Yang Rui was sniping the counterattack armies, it was not that he did not think of sneaking an attack on the other party's supply team. However, the counterattack armies seemed to be carrying provisions on their own, and there was no team dedicated to escorting the provisions.
Unexpectedly, at this time, after really camping, the counterattack army actually gathered their provisions together. This was undoubtedly an opportunity for Yang Rui! Floating astronomy.
