Chapter 261: The End of Guangzong (I)
October.
After a little rectification of the imperial army, they immediately marched towards Guangzong City, taking advantage of the great decline in the morale of the Yellow Turban Army to annihilate the Yellow Turban Army of Guangzong in one fell swoop.
To Huangfu Song's great surprise this time, Lu Shuang actually led the army to attack Guangzong together, and several main army corps went into battle together. However, there is a strange phenomenon that among all the Inhuman forces under the command of Huangfu Song, it seems that Lu Shuang alone advocates a strong attack on Guangzong, and the other Inhuman forces either oppose it or are unwilling to use their soldiers as cannon fodder, and the differences between the two sides are very big.
Huangfu Song was also very puzzled, with Lu Shuang's unprofitable character and not getting up early, he was actually willing to send his own army to fight a tough battle with a high casualty rate, and it was not an exaggeration to say that the sun came out of the west. Finally, under the coordination of Huangfu Song, the army will soon launch a general attack on Guangzong, and every Inhuman force must send no less than 100,000 fourth-order soldiers and 30,000 fifth-order soldiers, and Lu Shuang, as one of the radicals, naturally needs to shoulder greater responsibilities, and he will lead several legions to participate in the battle.
After the military meeting, many leaders of the player forces also came to Lu Shuang, although they basically had no intersection with Lu Shuang, but at this time on the united front, they were all players, and they were very curious to ask Lu Shuang why he did this thankless job. You must know that it is recorded in history that Huangfu Song attacked Guangzong after Zhang Jiao's death, but was held by the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Liang. If nothing else, the first attack on Guangzong will not be able to take place, and the imperial army will pay a lot of casualties because of this, and as a player who knows history, they can't figure out why Lu Shuang did this thankless job.
"Of course, it's to end the Yellow Turban Rebellion as soon as possible."
Lu Shuang didn't go around in circles, his purpose in choosing this way was indeed to let the Yellow Turban Rebellion end as soon as possible. He explained that if the imperial army had not launched a fierce attack on the Yellow Turban army of Guangzong, then Zhang Liang might not have slackened so easily. If Zhang Liang and Guangzong's Yellow Turban Army do not relax, in fact, it is not easy for the imperial army to gnaw this hard bone.
Of course, this is a statement on the surface, and Lu Shuang also revealed some insider information to the leaders of the player forces. After the last battle, the Yulin Army and the Han Forbidden Army suffered more losses, and Huangfu Song could not afford such a large casualty. But Guangzong still has a lot of main forces on his side, and the more than 10,000 high-level Yellow Turban wrestlers that Zhang Jiao finally let Zhang Liang take away, after nearly a week of recuperation, almost all of them have recovered their combat effectiveness, plus the sixth-order Yellow Turban elite and tens of thousands of ordinary Yellow Turban wrestlers, Guangzong does still have the confidence to stick to it. Therefore, in terms of high-level soldiers, Huangfu Song still needs Lu Shuang's help, and as for the exchange of interests behind it, everyone does not know.
The leaders of the other player forces are skeptical, but this is a reasonable explanation, and it is essentially in their own interests. They speculated that in order to win over Lu Shuang, Huangfu Song might arrange an official position for Lu Shuang, which made him attack Zhang Liang more hard. Moreover, during the plot of this Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people of Feitian City made a lot of money, and the sooner the Yellow Turban Rebellion ended, the sooner the spoils could be digested, from the perspective of the lord, Lu Shuang's approach was not much of a problem.
But what they didn't know was that in fact, Huangfu Song didn't have a private secret deal with Lu Shuang at all, it was just Lu Shuang's ambiguous statement. Huangfu Song won't say, players won't ask, then no one knows what the truth is.
The reason why Lu Shuang did this was because he came for a prop, ready to say that it was the item "Taiping Technique" that exploded on Zhang Jiao's body. Lu Shuang's "Taiping Essentials" is the middle volume, and it can't be consulted for the time being, only after getting the first volume of "Taiping Essentials" can you know what is written in the middle volume, and as for the next volume of "Taiping Essentials", you have to collect the upper and middle two volumes before you can check it.
Although Lu Shuang doesn't know what the specific role of "Taiping Technique" is, the introduction says that the "Taiping Technique" that collects three volumes is a god-level prop, which is very interesting. What is the recognized god-level prop in China, it is estimated that any player will think of the heirloom jade seal, and the whole "Taiping Yaoshu" is actually of the same quality as the heirloom jade seal, which has to make people have a bad idea.
The single-volume "Taiping Technique" is legendary, and its quality is comparable to the Longyuan Sword in Lu Shuang's hand. Although Lu Shuang thinks that the middle volume of "Taiping Essentials" is not as good as the Longyuan Sword, after all, it can't be read and used, and it is almost the same as a waste book, but if the upper volume can be found, these two volumes of "Taiping Essentials" can be regarded as top legendary-level items, ranking above the Longyuan Sword.
Since only one volume of "Taiping Techniques" was found on Zhang Jiao's body, Lu Shuang guessed that Zhang Jiao was very likely to have a previous volume, otherwise he would not be able to cultivate by himself. And the rest of the upper volume should be handed over to the most trusted person, Lu Shuang pushed himself and others, and thought that the most likely should be Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang. Although it is not 100% certain that it is in the hands of the two of them, Lu Shuang is willing to gamble, and the worst situation is that neither of them has it, but even so, Lu Shuang is not at a loss, because the two titles of historical figures are also worth a lot of money.
With the war imminent, Huangfu Song ordered his lower-ranking soldiers to cut down trees in the surrounding forests, and transport the felled timber to the camp to make siege weapons such as catapults. Siege weapons such as catapults are consumables to a certain extent, and their stamina is reduced every time they are thrown, and when their stamina drops to a critical value without a carpenter to repair it, the siege weapon will be scrapped or destroyed by the opponent's siege weapon.
On the battlefield, only by constantly manufacturing siege weapons can we keep our own firepower suppressed, so in many cases, craftsmen go to designated places to take local materials and manufacture siege weapons day and night. However, the quality of this siege weapon is not very good, the accuracy range is much worse, and it cannot afford long-distance transportation, so it can only be used as a consumable to win by quantity. Unlike the war weapons brought by Lu Shuang, they are very well-made, and there are skilled craftsmen who regularly inspect and repair them, and with the upper controller, they can accurately hit the opponent's camp.
However, when the day of the general attack came, Lu Shuang and other player power leaders were shocked again, the siege weapons that were created day and night, plus the rest of the last time, there were as many as more than 1,500 catapults, and the stones used for throwing next to them were piled up into several hills. Everyone didn't dare to imagine how spectacular it would be to look at the side of the imperial army when the catapults were going to go together, and how desperate the Yellow Turban Army would be.
When Zhang Jiao was still alive, in order to prevent the imperial army from directly attacking Guangzong, a camp was built more than ten miles west of Guangzong to prevent the imperial army from directly attacking Guangzong. After Zhang Jiao's death, Zhang Liang took advantage of the fact that Huangfu Song had not yet attacked Guangzong, and strengthened this camp again, and personally led the Yellow Turban Warriors to defend it.
However, no matter how fortified the camp was, it was still wooden, and under the bombardment of more than 1,500 catapults, the western wall collapsed first, and many fortifications and the Yellow Turban Army were damaged. The accuracy of the catapult is extremely touching, but it can't help but bomb thousands of catapults non-stop, a thousand too catapults bombed at the same time, during which no carpenter repaired, scrapped and some soldiers carried it away, and then quickly pushed a brand new catapult.
When the rocks stopped falling from the sky, the area in front of the Yellow Turban Camp was almost unsurvivable, with only stones and ruins all over the ground. However, although the wall to the west of the Yellow Turban Camp was completely destroyed, and many of the fortifications were scrapped, there was still a problem before the imperial army, that is, there were too many stones and other ruins to allow a single formed army to attack.
Huangfu Song ordered the whole army to attack, directly across the rocky area to attack the Yellow Turban camp, Zhang Liang was not to be outdone, the entire Yellow Turban Army hated the enemy, and launched a tragic field encounter on a rocky area. 2k reading web
