At the beginning, I became a county magistrate with greed of 500 million. The empress asked me to be

Xiao Yan's order had been issued, and all the troops in the entire Mengtu city immediately took action.

Among them, 20,000 automated troops were the first to climb the city wall and quickly set up blocking positions on the east gate wall.

At the same time, under the instruction of Xiao Yan, two lieutenant generals each led 20,000 infantrymen and attacked from the east gate together!

"Kill! Kill all these ignorant barbarians!"

"The prince has ordered that any soldier in our army who kills a barbarian soldier will be rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

"..."

Amid the deafening roar of killing, Xiao Yan's army rushed out of Mengtu City and engaged in a melee with the rapidly gathering barbarian troops.

A brutal fight broke out!

"Send the order, expand the range, and intercept the barbarian reinforcements coming from other directions!"

"Pass the order! The logistics team will start cooking immediately!"

"Send the message, medical troops rush to the front line immediately!"

On the battlefield, one soldier after another fell in a pool of blood, some were stabbed in the chest, and some had their heads chopped off.

The sound of commands came one after another, echoing in every corner of the battlefield.

The barbarian troops under the city obviously did not expect that Xiao Yan's army would dare to take the initiative to attack out of the city.

Therefore, at the beginning of the battle, Xiao Yan's army, which was not at an advantage in numbers, actually had a certain advantage.

However, this advantage did not last long. As the barbarian army transferred reinforcements from the other three directions, the numerical balance on the battlefield was once again broken.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Bang bang bang!"

On the walls of Montauk City, 20,000 automated troops continued to fire, trying to block the barbarian reinforcements coming from the other three directions.

However, the enemy's numbers were too great.

An army of seventy to eighty thousand people swarmed in, and even intensive bullet fire could not stop them all.

"Pass on my order! Sound the horn immediately!"

Seeing that the original 40,000-strong army was reduced to less than 30,000 people below the city wall, Xiao Yan immediately gave the order to retreat.

If the battle outside the East Gate is allowed to continue, the remaining 30,000 infantrymen will inevitably be surrounded by the enemy's army of more than 100,000!

"Boom boom boom!"

The sound of blasting horns rang out from the city wall one after another, and the 30,000 troops below the city wall who received the order immediately rushed back to the city.

At the same time, the automated troops on the city wall lowered their guns and organized a tight firepower network on the path of the 30,000 retreating infantrymen.

Because the firepower was concentrated very densely, it directly blocked the barbarian army that wanted to rush into the city!

"Your Majesty, the enemy has split up! Their cavalry is moving towards our west gate!"

The return of Xiao Yan's 30,000 troops into the city did not mean the end of the war.

When the barbarian army of more than 100,000 found that they could not force their way into the city from the east gate, nearly 60,000 cavalry troops quickly moved towards the west gate.

"Pass on my order to immediately dispatch 10,000 automated troops to the west gate. We cannot let the barbarians enter the city at any cost!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan's face was full of gloom.

In the battle just now, they achieved a clear victory.

However, even so, it failed to dispel the barbarians' crazy will to attack.

Currently, there are only about 90,000 troops left under his command.

No matter how you look at it, it seems extremely difficult to defend the four city gates with a force of 90,000.

The most crucial thing is that cavalry accounts for the majority of the barbarian troops.

This means that the barbarians can change the direction of their siege at any time.

However, the traffic roads in the city were complicated, and the 90,000 soldiers under his command were not equipped with many cavalry!

For a moment, as the battle became more intense, a look of worry unconsciously appeared on Xiao Yan's face.

……

Twenty-four hours passed in a flash.

The originally small city of Montauk also experienced twenty-four hours of war.

Xiao Yan's figure still stands at the East Gate City.

During this period of time, the joint forces of the barbarians and the Dune Dynasty still used the East Gate as the main direction of attack.

Amid wave after wave of attacks, the area beneath the East Gate of the city had become a sea of ​​blood and corpses.

The original color of the earth could no longer be seen, including every flower and grass, all of which were dyed scarlet by the blood.

Even the air was filled with a foul smell.

"Your Majesty, during the attack just now, a large area of ​​damage occurred in the southeast corner of the city gate!"

"In the past 24 hours, our army has lost a total of 10,600 soldiers! The enemy has lost about 30,000 soldiers!"

"Your Majesty, our army's stockpile of medical supplies is running low!"

"A report of a battle has just arrived from the north gate. The enemy is organizing a new round of siege. The commander of the north gate requests that Your Majesty send reinforcements quickly!"

"..."

On top of the city wall, Xiao Yan, covered in blood, sat on a huge rock, with people constantly coming up to him to report news.

All around Xiao Yan, there was a large area of ​​densely packed stones and various wood.

These things are the projectiles used by soldiers on the city walls when the enemy attacks the city.

The main reason why the army has come to this point is that in the past twenty-four hours of fighting, the automated troops have suffered a large loss of ammunition.

"Send a message to Cao Bao to lead 5,000 reserve troops to reinforce the north gate immediately!"

Among all the complicated intelligence information, Xiao Yan grasped the most critical one and was the first to issue the order.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, someone else came to Xiao Yan's side.

"Your Majesty, I have just counted the ammunition consumption. Currently, each soldier in our automated troops has less than 50 rounds of ammunition left on average."

The man who came was wearing black armor. He was Liu Wengui, the commander of 20,000 automated troops under Xiao Yan.

"Our army currently has no ammunition reserves. Tell the brothers to save bullets as much as possible and wait until the enemy is close before attacking."

Xiao Yan was in a very heavy mood. Since this was his first time commanding an automated force in battle, he had not paid much attention to the ammunition consumption of the troops over the past few days.

To the extent that now, the troops are short of ammunition and can no longer maintain a high-density firepower network.

If they want to hold out in the city until reinforcements arrive, they must be careful with their money now!

Soon, Xiao Yan's series of orders were conveyed.

Fortunately, although the troops suffered heavy casualties, the food and supplies carried by the army were sufficient.

In the short term they don't have to worry about food problems at all.

Just like that, in the round after round of charges launched by the enemy, the entire city of Montgomery was still filled with the sound of killing!

In the blink of an eye, another thirty-six hours passed.

Early in the morning of that day, a large number of marching troops appeared on the road less than fifty miles away from the city of Montuo.

The leader among them was none other than Xia Yun's trusted general, Chong Heihu!
