Chapter 220: Mountain God Guild
"General, the enemy who came to harass outside the camp has been repulsed."
Late at night, the camp of the expeditionary force in Hailing County was brightly lit at this time, although it was already the second half of the night, but the soldiers in the camp were all fully armed, and people who did not know thought that they were going to prepare to launch a night attack, but in fact the expeditionary force was attacked by a night attack by the Yellow Turban Army.
This night attack from the Yellow Turban Army was not simple, they knew how to pick a dark and windy day, and the outside was basically out of sight, and the two large camps of the expeditionary force became the only light in the darkness. Moreover, it was windy that night, and the sound of the wind blowing through the grass and woods could cover up the sound of small and fragmented footsteps.
As the commander of the army, Zang Ba is the first time in his life to lead troops to fight in other places, and he also has a heavy army, and his childhood dream of galloping on the battlefield was realized before he was twenty years old. With the grace of knowing Lu Shuang, Zang Ba did not relax in the slightest, he had to ask himself to fight a perfect battle to prove himself. Therefore, no matter where the army went, Zang Ba did not relax to ensure that the tasks assigned by Lu Shuang could be successfully completed, especially when he entered the scope of Gaoyou County, and he should pay more attention to the attacks of the local Yellow Turban camp.
The 500,000 army, Zang Ba according to the direct army and the side army, one is the main army of 150,000 in Flying City, and the other is the miscellaneous soldiers put together by other player forces, and two large battalions are set up respectively to prevent the direct army from being affected when there is an emergency inside. At the same time, there are many soldiers of Flying Sky City in the side army, and Yu Wenchao also has troops in the big camp, monitoring their movements at all times to prevent Xiao Qiang from causing trouble.
Facts have proved that Zang Ba was right, and this night attack was not only the 100,000 Yellow Turban troops with yellow turbans quietly sneaking over to attack, but also some internal responses appeared in the side army, and they tried to set fire to the camp and create chaos, so as to achieve the purpose of internal and external response. However, most of these internal soldiers are the strength of fifth-order soldiers, and there are not many of them, it is estimated that they were hastily inserted after learning the information, and before they had time to create chaos, they were killed on the spot by the soldiers of Feitian City, plus Yu Wenchao sent troops over to maintain order as soon as possible, and the large battalion of the side army quickly settled down.
On the other side, Chen Lang led a group of sword and shield soldiers to quickly go into battle, with a large number of archers, crossbowmen, and some crossbowmen borrowed from the Heavenly Absolute Legion, a thousand crossbows were mixed with the salvo of bows and crossbows, and the Yellow Turban Army was instantly unlucky, and several senior generals and more than a dozen intermediate generals standing at the front of the team were almost lost. They may be able to avoid the arrows fired by ordinary standard bows at night, but the crossbow has the terrifying power to shoot a special general, and under the arrows fired by a thousand crossbows, let alone a high-level general, even a special general can only wait for death. But because it was suddenly attacked by arrows at night, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army thought that they had died under the ordinary rain of arrows, and they did not suspect it, and they did not have time to "autopsy" or leave with a corpse.
Although the number of Yellow Turban troops who were separated to intercept Chen Lang was large, after all, their strength was not strong, and they had no experience in night battles, and it was easy to affect morale when they encountered some setbacks, so they didn't know what to do. In order to buy time for the robes who were attacking the adjacent camp, the generals of the Yellow Turban Army who were fighting with Chen Lang gritted their teeth and ordered the whole army not to retreat, no matter what the price was, to hold back the army of Flying City.
Chen Lang is an emperor-level military general with the specialty of an intermediate sword and shield soldier, even in the dark of night, he can use the light of the torch in the opponent's hand to see clearly what is happening on the front line. Seeing that the forward formation of the Yellow Turban Army showed a big flaw under this shot, Chen Lang decisively commanded the sword and shield soldiers under his command to attack, and he himself took the lead, acting as a sharp blade to tear apart the enemy army.
The Yellow Turban force was very clever and found out that the expeditionary force was stationed in two camps, specializing in the weaker side camps, and specially sent troops to intercept the troops of Flying City on the way to the rescue, in an attempt to delay the rescue time.
However, they were overconfident in themselves, or underestimated the strength of Feitian City, although the proportion of high-level soldiers in the two troops sent was not small, and there were a large number of generals, but the attack they organized was no different from the one in the eyes of Yu Wenchao and even his lieutenants. The Yellow Turban Army wanted to learn from the night attack in the film and television, taking advantage of the loud drums outside and some people setting fire inside, quickly sending troops to the periphery of the camp to set fire to the wall, and then taking advantage of the chaos to kill and so on. Unexpectedly, this large battalion, which was stationed with a small number of soldiers from Flying Sky City, did not show any signs of chaos, but the defenders relied on high points such as arrow towers, watchtowers, and walls to shoot arrows outside in an orderly manner, causing the Yellow Turban Army on the attacking side to suffer a lot of casualties.
In addition, there are many repulsion horses placed around the periphery of the two large camps, these special repulsion horses made by the sappers of Feitian City are tall and strong, and they can only be reluctantly moved by gathering the strength of several people, and the Yellow Turban Army will not be able to destroy them for a while and a half, so they can only move to one place or bypass the refusal horses, and use the torches in their hands to ignite the walls of the camp.
But the role of rejecting horses is not to destroy the enemy, but to delay the pace of the enemy's advance, whether it is cavalry or infantry, it is very painful to encounter too many too strong rejecting horses. What's more, these rejected horses are less than a hundred meters away from the camp, and the Yellow Turban Army is delayed in this way, and the number of casualties caused by the arrows is even greater, and only sporadic Yellow Turban troops can rush to the vicinity of the camp for a while, and they are killed by fire before they can throw down their torches.
.....
Gaoyou County, which occupies the county seat on behalf of the local Yellow Turban camp, is a guild called the Mountain God. Originally, the Mountain God Guild was only a second-rate guild, and its strength was comparable to that of the Domination Guild, but Gaoyou County did not have powerful forces like Flying Sky City, Iron Blood Alliance, and Celestial Elephant Guild, and it belonged to a situation where one family was dominant. Occupying the county seat, the Mountain God Guild is considered a quasi-first-class guild, and it won't be long before it can step into the category of a first-class guild.
After choosing the Yellow Turban camp and receiving the support of the Yellow Turban Army, he also gradually encroached on the forces of other imperial court camps in the county, and after developing and growing, he captured the county seat in one fell swoop and became the master of the county. However, just two or three weeks ago, some unfavorable news came from the next county, first the hegemony guild was defeated in Tianxiang Town, and then the Yellow Turban Alliance regrouped and attacked the county seat with great momentum, but in the end, the Yellow Turban camp was completely uprooted in Hailing County, and the Mountain God Guild in the next county couldn't help but be a little sad. However, before there was time for sympathy and schadenfreude, there was soon another bad news that Flying City would unite with other player forces in Hailing County and gather an army of 500,000 to go north to defeat the Yellow Turban Army in their three counties.
To be honest, the Mountain God Guild has always been concerned about the situation in Hailing County, after all, several forces in the next county may pose a threat to them.
After the expeditionary force entered Gaoyou from Hailing, the high-level leaders of the Mountain God Guild urgently formulated several sets of response plans, one of which was to take advantage of the expeditionary force's long journey to Gaoyou, which was unfamiliar with the terrain, to launch a night attack to frustrate the morale of the expeditionary force. In order to ensure the smooth completion of the task, the Mountain God Guild carefully planned and sent many generals and fifth- and sixth-order soldiers to participate in the battle, but the result was that they returned with a feather and killed the generals.
According to the feedback of players who fought with the sword and shield soldiers, the army of Flying Sky City was really as strong as it was circulated on the Internet, with good equipment and high discipline, and only a few thousand sword and shield soldiers could repel tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops like a devastation, while the other side suffered very few casualties.
You must know that this time Feitian City has sent 150,000 people, at least 100,000 of them are legions that have already appeared, and some of the short videos they used to fight have been posted on the Internet, and the Mountain God Guild thinks that even the most elite troops under its command are not its opponents. Don't look at the current number of troops of the Mountain God Guild is four to five times that of them, but there is really not much chance of winning in a real fight, and even if it wins, it will only be a miserable victory. In the event of a defeat for both sides, it is likely that the local court camp forces in Gaoyou will take the opportunity to organize a counteroffensive, and the Mountain God Guild is very likely to follow in the footsteps of the Hegemony Guild.
Since it was not cost-effective to fight head-on, and some small actions were ineffective, the high-level of the Mountain God Guild finally decided to defend and fight, and the main force shrank to the county town and fought to the end. The expeditionary force had to walk for more than ten days to get to Gaoyou, presumably the food supply was not easy, as long as it could be delayed and then sent troops to harass the grain road, the expeditionary force had to withdraw under the lack of food. And the high-level people are heart-to-heart, they think that Lu Shuang will not be stupid enough to let his baby soldiers come over to die, it is not easy to attack a county town, and the number of defenders far exceeds the attacker, no matter how you look at it, it is irrational to fight.
Therefore, when the expeditionary force was only two days away from Gaoyou County, the top management of the Mountain God Guild decided to gather other Yellow Turban troops scattered outside the county town to fight against the "invaders" together, and forced the carpenters and stonemasons in the county to repair the city defense tools and city defense weapons. As for the catapults, they also have enough arrows, rolling stones, etc., which are enough to support many days, and the 350,000 soldiers composed of players cannot pose a threat, and the remaining 150,000 soldiers of Flying City are all treasures, and it is really not cost-effective to send a tough battle. In addition, breaking the city and exterminating the Yellow Turban Army of Gaoyou are two different things, and it takes a great price to attack the city, and there are also losses in the same way to eliminate the Yellow Turban Army, and there are still countless Yellow Turban Army waiting for them to take the city wall.
Therefore, after the Mountain God Guild completed their deployment, in fact, on the one hand, it can be regarded as completely abandoning the attempt of other roads, and there is almost only one way to defend the city, which they think is the most effective way.
