Chapter 201: Cannon Fodder
In the early morning of the next day, the people who dominated the guild counted the losses of last night, and only more than 30,000 people died under the arrows of the cavalry, and the casualties due to the spread of the fire and stampede were as many as 120,000.
Although the buildings in the township where the Yellow Turbans were stationed were all wooden and prone to fire, if it weren't for the fact that these buildings could increase the range of the archers, provide a good cover, and pose a certain threat to the cavalry, otherwise the Yellow Turbans would definitely have died under the arrows, and the infrastructure of the township was perfect, and the fire was extinguished soon after the fire, and it did not spread and more places.
For the domain, the loss of this night raid was only a skin injury, which was acceptable, but the blow to morale was very large, and some new players who joined the game became nervous after this battle, fearing that they would suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder.
At the same time, the cavalry force also made Yu feel frightened, secretly thinking that in addition to the imperial court forces in Hailing County, who could come up with a cavalry force of this scale, you must know that Hailing County can be regarded as the southern region, and the local horses are short and small, which is several grades worse than the war horses in the northern states and counties. If this cavalry unit is not dealt with, it will pose a huge threat to their Yellow Turban Army, like a grim reaper watching in the shadows, intervening at a critical moment, but it can kill them.
But there was no other way, from the moment he chose the Yellow Turban camp, there was no way back, only to live to die, so regardless of the request of the soldiers who had not rested all night, he gave a death order to let them continue to move forward at a fast pace, and not delay for too long.
The news of the night attack of the Yellow Turban Army quickly spread to the ears of the players in the imperial camp, in addition to secretly rejoicing, they used this incident to build a defensive line against time, originally according to the marching speed of the Yellow Turban Army, it was probably the day after tomorrow to reach the location of the official road, and now the Yellow Turban Army may have to be delayed for a day, or regardless of the physical exertion of the soldiers and rush day and night, no matter what the situation, it is good news for the defending imperial court camp forces.
Smile and the others' actions naturally couldn't hide from the Yellow Turban Army, and soon reached the ears of the domain, who disdained the defense line they had made, thinking that it was just a dying struggle before death, and let the soldiers have a good night's rest, so they maintained the original marching speed and marched towards Iron-Blooded Town. Of course, this time the domain learned wisely, and before nightfall, ordered the carpenters brought to make a batch of rejection horses, which would be used to prevent the cavalry from charging or harassing them like last night.
However, it was Christmas Eve, and the Yellow Turban Army had encountered a large-scale cavalry, and there was not even a single person who came out to harass him, so that Yu couldn't help but wonder if there was a conspiracy theory in this.
At noon on the third day, the Yellow Turban Army, which had just been fed, came to that section of the official road as scheduled, only to see that the player forces of the imperial court camp had already lined up and waited there, this area less than three miles wide could only accommodate thousands of soldiers at the same time, and no matter how many people could only wait in the rear, waiting for the front to advance or go up to replenish after being killed.
Yu rode a tall horse, came to the front of the formation majestically, kept a safe distance of three or five hundred meters from the other party, and said loudly: "Brother opposite, can you come out of one, I Zhao have something I want to say to you." ”
"Hehe, I didn't expect the president of the First Guild of Hailing County to speak in such a low voice, but I was flattered." Smile and several other guild leaders came out of the formation and taunted the domain.
"President Smile's words are wrong, the Domination Guild is not only the first guild in Hailing County now, but also the number one force in Hailing County in the future." Domain said triumphantly.
"Oh? Do you think that just by the rabble behind you, you can compare to the Flying City? It's going to laugh off everyone's big teeth when you say it. Smile couldn't help but laugh.
"Hmph, what is Flying City, I have a million Yellow Turban Army, and after I sweep the entire Hailing County, I will hit Flying City next, take his dog's head, and repay the hatred I have always had." Yu seemed to have forgotten that he had died like this at that time, and kept talking trash talk, and said, "I advise you to surrender as soon as possible, there is no chance of victory in the Hailing County Imperial Court camp." Don't think that I don't know the county order and won't send troops to help at all, but I have hundreds of thousands of yellow turban elites to help, and those who know each other obediently put down their weapons, maybe I can choose not to kill you, otherwise you will wait to fall back to level zero, haha. ”
"It seems that you are hopeless, without further ado, let's go to war and see if your Yellow Turban Army is overwhelmed, or if we players can unite as one. By the way, I would like to give you a word, the cavalry that night was most likely sent by Flying City. Smile wasn't sure where the cavalry was, but it was okay to scare the other party.
Seeing that Xiao Xiao and the other leaders retreated into the formation, some of the staff officers under the domain grabbed him and said, "President, the other party is prepared, build a wall on this narrow official road, which can be used for archers to shoot arrows, and the width below is only two or three miles, and a large number of pikemen or sword and shield soldiers have been arranged in formation, and we may not be able to take it in a hurry." ”
"What are you afraid of, this line of defense is only 30,000 people at most, and we captured a few NPC towns yesterday, and the Yellow Turban Army has expanded by 200,000 people, even if one person can spray 30,000 people to death with a mouthful of spittle." Yu didn't think that the smiling defense line did anything, and ordered: "Pass the order, let those newly joined Yellow Turban Army attack, and consume them to death." ”
The staff officers looked at each other, but since the chairman said so, and the opponent's first line of defense was not even 30,000 people, just send 200,000 Yellow Turban troops, no matter how bad they are, they can replace those 30,000 people.
The war is about to break out, under the command of the Yellow Turban General, the first 50,000 Yellow Turban minions launched the first wave of attacks, these Yellow Turban minions are actually NPCs who have newly joined the Yellow Turban camp, they were originally other life occupations, and after joining the Yellow Turban Army, they instantly became soldiers, although they only have the strength of the first and second orders, and most of the tools they hold in their hands are farm tools, and they do not wear any armor, but under the command of the Yellow Turban generals of a specific profession, they still attack towards the first line of defense.
Three hundred meters...
Two hundred meters...
One hundred and fifty meters...
"Shoot!"
With the roar of the general, the two thousand archers standing on the wall were built at the same time, with the bonus of the wall, these fourth- and fifth-order archers can shoot to one hundred and fifty meters, due to the density of the vanguard of the Yellow Turban Army, basically every arrow can hit a Yellow Turban Army, even if they do not die on the spot, they will be pushed forward by the robe in the rear because they are injured and unable to move, or trampled to death.
The distance of one hundred and fifty meters was in a blink of an eye, and the two thousand archers only shot two rounds of arrows, and the Yellow Turban Army rushed to the front of the formation, raising the farm tools in their hands and waving towards the defenders, but standing in the front row was a fifth-order sword and shield soldier, who was at ease in the face of the Yellow Turban's attack, and basically could not cause a little damage to the sword and shield soldier, but the sword and shield soldier's big knife fell on the Yellow Turban, and the knife was severe.
The swarming Yellow Turbans desperately rushed to the defensive line, but with the cooperation of the sword and shield soldiers and pikemen, they still maintained the formation, and the 50,000 Yellow Turbans couldn't make any waves at all, and it was a completely one-sided slaughter.
However, after more than an hour of fierce fighting, the soldiers of the first line of defense showed fatigue, although those soldiers who had too much physical exertion would be replaced by people of the same strength as soon as possible, but the attack of the Yellow Turban Army was endless, and the slightest distraction would be pulled by a few Yellow Turban minions, and their lives were in danger.
And the domain is also a piece of old ginger, knowing that simply sending yellow turbans is to send people to give points in the past, he arranged 30,000 fourth-order yellow turban troops and 5,000 fifth-order yellow turban troops in 200,000 yellow turban soldiers, and when the 100,000 cannon fodder in front of them exhausted the physical strength of the defenders, they showed their sharp fangs.
The defenders have been killing the first and second order Yellow Turbans, and after a long time, a kind of inertia will be formed, thinking that this batch of Yellow Turban Army is this kind of lowly strength, and the vigilance is slowly lowered, and when the battle against the fourth-order Yellow Turban Army and the fifth-order Yellow Turban Army, they were suddenly killed by surprise, and the defenders guarding the front line were almost completely defeated, and the battle line has been retreating more than ten meters.
"Looks like we're underestimating the domain."
Standing on a watchtower in the rear, the smiling and others frowned slightly, they originally thought that the domain was very likely to only send the Yellow Turbans to the front line, even if the first line of defense could not be defended, but it could still be done by delaying for two or three hours, the so-called one drum, and then three failures, the longer it dragged on, the lower the morale of the Yellow Turban Army would be, and the remaining battles might be in favor of the defending side. Unexpectedly, Yu secretly arranged tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops in the Yellow Turbans, and their strength was about the same as the defenders of the first line of defense, but after all, they were waiting for work at ease, and they were calculated or not, and the first line of defense had a crumbling feeling.
"But what Yu didn't expect was that we didn't expect the first line of defense to be able to hold it at all, as long as we could consume the strength and morale of the Yellow Turban Army, we would have achieved the task." Tianyu said lightly.
The defenders on the first line of defense struggled to hold their ground, and those in the rear did not let their sacrifices go to waste. On the wall behind the first line of defense, there were two more archers, forming a staggered queue with the original archers, who wanted to shoot as much as possible before the defenders below were wiped out, and it was best to shoot these Yellow Turban troops above the fourth order to reduce the pressure on the defense in the future. 2k reading web
