Chapter 387: No need to retain strength
The leaders of the Yellow Turban Army reached an opinion and decided to launch a last and more fierce attack on Beihai City, this time, only the elite of their army would be dispatched, and in order to boost the morale of their low sergeants, including their leaders, they would personally attack the city.
Whether it is successful or not, whether it can break through Beihai County depends on this wave.
Gong Kuang did see the situation more clearly, and he knew very well that his military horses were not ready to besiege Beihai City for a long time until they broke through Beihai City.
Earlier, what everyone thought and said was very good, and even a few Yellow Turban leaders even thought beautifully that if the officials and soldiers of Beihai County were like the counties they had attacked earlier, they would flee in embarrassment when they saw their army attacking, and give up the county town to them in vain, leaving them to plunder, so that they could finally obtain a large number of scarce survival materials.
The same is true for them to attack Beihai City, if everything is as they think, then they even think about occupying Beihai City, and then use Beihai City as a stronghold as the center to capture the entire area north of Mount Tai.
To be honest, if they can really successfully capture the Beihai County City, they can really make a difference. At that time, Guan Hai led his army to leave Mount Tai and stationed in Beihai, where he established the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army, and then occupied the entire Shandong Peninsula. If they know how to work hard, then they may not have no way out.
Of course, it's all just a matter of thinking. When it really develops to such a point, they probably can't manage these areas well, and they don't know how to develop at all. The imperial court will definitely send a large army to attack them again, and in this way, they will only fail.
What's more, now they haven't even been able to touch the head of Beihai City, so what else can they talk about?
But even if it is Gong Kuang, he still has a gambler's mentality at this time. Although the situation made it clear that they didn't have much chance of capturing Beihai City, they still wanted to fight before leaving.
In this way, when they made a plan to siege the city, they also made a plan for evacuation. But in the evacuation plan, they didn't think about how they would respond if Beihai City sent troops and horses to attack when they withdrew. They didn't think about this, and no one would have thought that the centaurs of Beihai City would come out of the city to attack them.
Are you kidding? If the military horses of Beihai City dared to go out of the city to fight them, then why should they attack the city? Wouldn't it be possible to capture Beihai City by defeating the officers and soldiers of Beihai City directly outside the city?
But they have tried to call the war and curse war, but the officers and soldiers of Beihai City are indifferent, so no one in them really thinks that the officers and soldiers in the city will go out of the city to attack. Including Gong Kuang and Bai Yu, none of them thought about this.
Soon, the Yellow Turban Army gathered the elite sergeants in their army, and each wall sent about 3,000 men and horses to attack the city.
In addition to the siege of the city, the rest of the Yellow Turban army is also lined up, but they are ready to enter the city or withdraw, so they are carrying large and small burdens, and the belongings carried by the Yellow Turban soldiers who participated in the siege will be carried by those who do not participate in the siege.
Also, at the end of their formation, there are the wounded soldiers, and if they leave, they will be the first to withdraw.
Of course, if they successfully break through Beihai City, then they will put down the burden on their bodies and rush into the city, and the burden they put down will naturally be taken care of by those wounded soldiers.
The Yellow Turbans were indeed ready to advance or retreat.
When the Yellow Turban Army was preparing to attack the city outside the city, Liu Xian also came to the gate tower in the south of the city early and watched their situation condescendingly.
Liu Xian almost didn't laugh out loud when he saw it, because everything went as he expected. Looking at the Yellow Turban soldiers who were carrying their burdens, Liu Xian knew that they were ready to withdraw.
Liu Xian estimated that after a day of unfavorable siege, their Yellow Turban Army was demoralized and suffered too many casualties, and they had reached the psychological bottom line of their defeat and retreat. Thinking that they would withdraw on this day, Liu Xian had already sent people out of the city, so that Huang Zhong could wait for the opportunity to attack and defeat and defeat these Yellow Turban troops in front of Beihai City in one fell swoop.
Of course, Liu Xian also saw the Yellow Turban elites lined up in front of the Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Xian frowned, because on these Yellow Turban men and horses who were preparing to attack the city, Liu Xian really noticed some sharp momentum, and he could even sense that there might be many enemy generals at the level of quasi-military generals.
This is not good, in Beihai, there are few real quasi-military generals.
came and went, with Wang Yue, Huang Zhong, and Zheng Qing.
But Zheng Qing is at most the peak strength of a third-rate general, which is about the same as himself, and if he fights, he is sure to beat Zheng Qing.
But there are really a lot of third-rate generals and quasi-generals in the Yellow Turban Army.
Of course, among the officers and soldiers, there are also three or four generals with the strength of quasi-military generals, but they just have internal strength, which is nothing, and more than a dozen elite Yellow Turban soldiers can defeat them.
"Lord...... Uh, Liu Xiangongzi, look, what are those Yellow Turban Army doing outside the city? Looking at the Yellow Turban soldiers they were preparing to attack the city, it seemed that something was different, and the momentum was extremely strong, especially the guys in front of them, all of them looked alive and vigorous, and they all felt a little not simple. Are they going to launch a general attack on our Beihai City? In addition, the Yellow Turban soldiers who lined up behind them were a little strange, why did they carry so many burdens? It can't be some secret siege weapon, right? ”
Liu Jie followed Liu Xian, and at this time, even he saw that the Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city who were preparing to attack the city were a little different, and he couldn't help but ask with some worry at this time.
"They're going to withdraw their troops, but before they withdraw, they definitely want to attack again. Therefore, this siege will be unprecedentedly fierce, if we can withstand their attacks, then our Beihai City can be completely safe. Liu Xian shook his head and said calmly: "Pass the order, after yesterday's day of defending the city, I believe that ordinary people also know how to defend the city." There is no need for officers and soldiers to defend the city with them. The officers and men of all the regiments and all the cantonments were rebuilt and prepared for a fierce battle. Once the Yellow Turban thieves attacked the city, the chiefs, Dubo, and Tun chiefs must lead their respective soldiers to the top as soon as possible, and be sure to defeat the enemy who killed the city. ”
"In addition, quickly order the officers and soldiers who are on leave to come to the city, and there are also reserve troops, so they don't need to rest, let them go to the city wall to stand by, and be ready to support the city head at any time."
Liu Xian really felt that this siege would not be too simple, and the situation was already obvious, this Yellow Turban Army is estimated to retreat only if it has to attack again, this wave of strong attack can also be said to be their last madness, if they are captured, they will be developed, and if they can't be attacked, they will retreat.
Therefore, at this time, Liu Xian felt that he didn't need to leave any more backhands on the Beihai City side, and he would use all the power he should use, once he wanted to defend this wave of attacks.
Because the enemy dispatched a lot of generals, Liu Xian also had to make changes to make his strongest strength to resist these thieves who killed the city.
For those ordinary soldiers, it is difficult to say that they have any combat power in close combat, which is completely different from smashing enemy soldiers with rolling stones and simmering wood on the head of the city and killing enemy soldiers head-on. If they really let them fight face to face, I'm afraid they will suddenly weaken their legs. At this time, it is necessary for officers and soldiers to be on top, and only real officers and soldiers can fight with the elite of the Yellow Turbans. Those ordinary people's soldiers, let them tear apart with the Yellow Turban elite, it is tantamount to sending them to death.
"Command!"
A group of heralds hurriedly answered and went separately to deliver the order.
"Also, give an order to the military Sima Zheng Qing, telling him to pay attention to the generals in the Yellow Turban Army besieging the city, and let him be careful not to go away. The west wall of the city was handed over to him, and if he couldn't hold it, he could quickly mobilize the officers and soldiers guarding the north of the city and the men and horses of the Liu Fu caravan. Even if they die, they must not allow the Yellow Turbans to seize the head of the city west of the city. As for the south and east of the city, there is no need for him to worry, this son will personally guard here. “
"Yes! Subordinates go to herald immediately! “
Another herald galloped away.
The Yellow Turban Army adopted the siege method of encircling the city, probably to let the soldiers and civilians of Beihai City escape from the city gate, so that they could take advantage of the situation to capture Beihai City, and then pursue the fleeing soldiers and civilians.
It's a pity that no one in Beihai City escaped from the north of the city at all. Yesterday, there was no Yellow Turban Army attacking the north of the city. At present, the Yellow Turban Army still did not send people to attack the north of the city. Liu Xian thought that the men and horses he stayed in the north of the city could be transferred to the west of the city to help Zheng Qing defend the city.
As for the south of the city and the east of the city, Liu Xian decided to sit in the south of the city himself, and the east of the city let Wang Yue go, and Wang Yue killed those Yellow Turban generals.
At this time, it can really reflect the benefits of having a super master.
A super master like Wang Yue, killing those second- and third-rate generals is a matter between three or two moves, if it is those ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers, even if they are elite, but killing them is like killing chickens.
"Wang Yue!"
Liu Xianchong shouted outside.
Liu Xian's escort was outside the council hall of the city gate tower, and Wang Yue was mixed in.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Xian hugged Wang Yue and said, "Mr. Wang, can I ask you a favor?" ”
Because there were too many people, Liu Xian knew that Wang Yue didn't want to reveal his true identity, so he didn't directly call him the Great Sword Master. It is okay to call him Wang Yue, because everyone may not know that this Wang Yue is that Wang Yue. If the Great Sword Master is called, then those who know the legend of Wang Yue may associate this Wang Yue with that Wang Yue.
In person, Liu Xian called him Mr. Wang and maintained a more respectful attitude towards him.
Wang Yue was just protecting himself, but now he planned to let him participate in the war, so Liu Xian was polite and only said that he wanted to ask him for help.
Wang Yue didn't hesitate and said, "Yes, is it to help defend the city?" ”
Wang Yue After all, he is indeed a swordsman and knight, like this, the thief army is attacking the city, not to mention that Liu Xian asked him for help, he will participate in it himself.
And although Wang Yue doesn't know much about the officialdom, he is not very proficient in human affairs. As for marching and fighting, he is actually not proficient, but he is a super master, and he has only just sensed that among the enemy troops outside the city, there are some stronger enemy generals. In this way, he also guessed what Liu Xian wanted to ask him to do.
"Yes, this time the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city, and the people who dispatched it were all elite soldiers, and there were many real masters among them. I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with them with our ordinary means of defending the city, and it is very likely that they will be killed at the head of the city. Therefore, I would like to invite you to go to the eastern city wall, mainly responsible for killing those military generals who have climbed to the top of the city. Make sure that the eastern wall of the city is not lost. How is it? ”
"No problem, though...... What if Wang went to the east of the city? So are you going to stay here? There's no one around you to protect you. ”
When Wang Yue said no one, he meant a master like him, but he didn't mean that there was really no one.
"Hehe, don't worry about me, you know, even in the face of stronger masters, I should have the power to protect myself." Liu Xiandao.
"That's right, then...... Wang went to the east of the city? ”
"Well, go ahead, by the way, bring some of our escort team over, so that we can also cover for you and disguise your identity." Liu Xian said one more thing.
Wang Yue thought about it, nodded in agreement, then hugged Liu Xian's fist, turned around and went out, and casually ordered more than ten people to follow him to the east of the city.
"Young Master Liu Xian, you guard named Wang Yue...... It doesn't seem simple. ”
After Wang Yue left, Liu Jie looked at Wang Yue's back and said.
"Oh? Do you see that? Or have you heard of him? ”
"Nope." Liu Jie shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of him, is he very famous?" We just feel like he's like a sword for sale, which makes me feel like I don't dare to look at it directly, as if ...... Yes, it seems to be the same as General Huang Zhong, very powerful. Right? ”
