Chapter 62: The Bitter Battle
At Zhang Liang's urging, the fanatical Yellow Turban archers fired rockets, and the rain of arrows fell into the wooden villages of the Han army, and some tents caught fire, billowing black smoke.
On the battlefield, arrows flew indiscriminately, black smoke filled the air, and many Han soldiers and rebels joined forces to fight the fire.
While the defenders were in a hurry because of the fire attack, the ladder of the Yellow Turban Army had hooked the wooden wall of the Han army camp, and the fanatical Yellow Turban soldiers climbed the ladder to attack the city.
"No!"
A lord from Jiaozhou was ordered to defend one of the wooden arrow towers, and when the fierce Yellow Turban soldiers attacked the city wall under the leadership of the Yellow Turban Chief, the lord saw that his soldiers were hacked to death by the Yellow Turban Chief, and blood splattered on him, and he couldn't help but sit on the ground.
The cruelty of the epic battle was unacceptable to the lords who participated in the battle, and the Yellow Turban Army of the Trapped Beast Fight was very fierce when they counterattacked, and the lords who had never seen a big scene were crushed with one blow.
"You lead all the personal soldiers to clear the Yellow Turban soldiers who have landed in the city!"
Seeing that some of the lords could not hold on, Sima Zhang Tie of the Han army had no choice but to send two soldiers to lead his soldiers to recapture the lost walls of these lords.
If more Yellow Turban soldiers were allowed to climb the walls, the entire camp would fall.
The section of the city wall that Chutian was responsible for defending had not yet fallen, and the Xuzhou archers led by Liu Sandao shot as many Yellow Turban soldiers as possible to attack this section of the city wall, and at least dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers fell under the blows of the Xuzhou archers.
Two improvised ladders were erected on the city wall, and Zhou Yafu led the infantry to burn them with fire oil and linen.
The ladder was blazing and emitting black smoke, and the Yellow Turbans who had been trying to climb the city walls fell into despair. Without a ladder, they would not have been able to climb the four-meter-high wall, and would have been killed by random arrows.
Chu Tian was choked by the black smoke and coughed violently, he entered the battle with a longbow and personally shot a Yellow Turban soldier.
But this is only a drop in the bucket, there are tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city.
However, Chu Tian and his soldiers were already outstanding among all the lords. Some of the small lords had already collapsed, and even the big lords, in the face of the outnumbered Yellow Turban Army, also performed badly and were killed by the Yellow Turban soldiers on the city wall.
Chu Tian leaned against the back of the battlements and found that Huo An, the lord next door from the Western Regions Protectorate, was in a bitter battle.
A small group of Yellow Turban Chiefs ascended first, focusing on attacking the city wall defended by Huo An, and the Yellow Turban Chiefs who belonged to the third-order infantry were fierce in battle, and the soldiers brought by Huo An from the Western Regions Protectorate were killed by the Yellow Turban Chiefs one after another.
Huo An's most proud twenty Dawan cavalry could not exert the strength of the cavalry on the wooden city wall, but were not as long as the yellow turbans.
A few Dawan cavalry guarded their lord Huo An, and the other low-ranking infantry of the Western Regions Protectorate tried their best to expel the Yellow Turbans from the city, but they continued to die in battle.
Huo An fell into despair, and the elite of the Yellow Turban Army was not an existence that players in the early stage could provoke. It was extremely difficult to get a battle merit this time.
"Brothers, enter the camp and grab money and food!"
A Yellow Turban general personally ascended the city, holding a machete in both hands and slashing at the shoulders of the Dawan cavalry.
The Dawan cavalry was beheaded by the Yellow Turban Army generals in front of Huo An. Blood splattered on Hoan's face!
Huo An held the shield and hit the Yellow Turban General, the Yellow Turban General didn't expect this player lord to be quite fierce, and after being hit by the shield, he took a few steps backwards and slammed into the wooden wall.
"Kill!!"
Huo An shouted courageously, pulled out the dagger at his waist, and tried to assassinate the yellow turban general.
The rank of the Yellow Turban general is very high, and the force value is estimated to be about sixty, he did not give Huo An a chance, but kicked Huo An away.
Huo An flew upside down and hit the city wall, looking depressed and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Even if they are not historical generals, ordinary Yellow Turban generals are too tough for players in the early stage.
The soldiers of the Western Regions Protectorate were dragged by the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the machetes of the Yellow Turban generals were held high.
"I originally wanted to defend the Western Regions for the Eastern Han Dynasty in the future, but I didn't expect that even the Yellow Turban Rebellion would be so difficult......"
Huo An was injured, knowing that he was not the opponent of the Yellow Turban General, and most of them would be killed by the Yellow Turban General.
Just when Huo An was about to be killed, a military general appeared in time to attack the Yellow Turban general, and the Yellow Turban General had to return his sword to resist.
"Brother Huo, are you okay?"
Chu Tian stretched out his hand and pulled the injured Huo An up.
Huo An hugged his abdomen in pain and found that Xia Zhen's female military generals were fighting with the Yellow Turban generals, who were at a disadvantage, parrying left and right.
"Brother Tangtian, your girlfriend's force value is really high, even the Yellow Turban generals can be defeated."
Huo An also thought that Mulan was a female gamer.
Chu Tian didn't bother to explain, driving the Yellow Turban soldiers off the city wall at this time was the most important thing: "Now is not the time to chat. ”
"Lao Tzu didn't expect the Yellow Turban Soldiers to be so powerful, before joining the war, he thought he could slash a Yellow Turban Soldier, but now he was almost killed by the Yellow Turban Soldiers."
Huo An led a small group of soldiers from the Western Regions Protectorate to unite with the soldiers of Xia Zhen to temporarily stabilize the defensive line.
Defending the Han army camp is the responsibility of all players in the Han court camp, and it is not enough to defend their own walls.
The Yellow Turban general who attacked the city wall was not a historical general, just an ordinary Yellow Turban general, and after more than a dozen rounds of fighting with Mulan, the Yellow Turban general was killed by Mulan.
With the increase of Mulan's level and force, the level suppression effect of the Yellow Turban generals is no longer large.
The Western Regions Protectorate squad was in awe of a group of Xia Town lords, generals, and soldiers such as Chu Tian and Hua Mulan. If it weren't for Xia Zhen's timely help, the city wall they were defending would have been lost.
Two Han soldiers led the elite of the Han army to roam the city walls, supporting the various lords and regaining control of the entire city walls.
The battle between the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army lasted for two hours, and both sides suffered losses, and the Yellow Turban Army lost at least more than 1,000 soldiers and three generals.
"It's not an option, unless there are reinforcements."
Zhou Yafu's long sword was stained with blood, and a yellow turban soldier fell from the wooden city wall.
With dozens of people wounded or killed in the battle to defend the city, and the Yellow Turbans continued to attack, it seemed that Zhang Liang was determined to take the Han camp.
"Reinforcements, our reinforcements are coming!"
The Han archers on a wooden arrow tower noticed that a 500-strong Han cavalry appeared on the horizon and the Han banner was waving, so he excitedly reported to the military Sima who was defending the city.
This 500-strong Han cavalry entered the Yellow Turban Army from the flank, and the military general led by him held the Qinglong Glaive Knife, and the big knife was in the direction, and more than a dozen Yellow Turban soldiers along the way were killed by him with a big knife!
"Thieves are coming!"
Another general was armed with a Zhangba snake spear, and the yellow turban soldier who lacked iron armor was easily pierced by the Zhangba snake spear!
The cavalry of the five hundred Han Army is the elite Sanhe cavalry (Hedong, Hanoi, and Henan county cavalry) under the command of Lu Zhi, the general of Beizhonglang, and under the leadership of three generals, they chiseled through the flank of the Yellow Turban Army!
In addition to three generals and 500 Han cavalry, there are also hundreds of players participating in the battle!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Liang was worried that the Han army in the camp and the arriving Han cavalry should be together, so he hurriedly called Jin to withdraw his troops. The Yellow Turbans retreated like a tidal wave, leaving behind thousands of corpses.
Five hundred Han cavalry came to the bottom of the Han army camp, and one of the generals shouted: "My eldest brother is ordered by General Bei Zhonglang to come to support, quickly open the gate of the village and let us in!" ”
Chu Tian was shocked when he saw the three generals in front of the five hundred Han cavalry, one with long hands over his knees, one with a beard two feet long, and a leopard with a head and eyes.
Nine times out of ten, these three people are Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei!
"It seems that some players have taken refuge in Liu Bei."
Chu Tian also noticed a group of free players who followed Liu Bei.
In addition to establishing their own power, taking refuge in the local princes of the Three Kingdoms is also a way to survive and make contributions in troubled times.
