Chapter 264: Zhang Bao

Xiaquyang is located in the northernmost part of Julu County and is currently occupied by Zhang Bao, the general of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, compared with the main battlefield of Guangzong, Zhang Bao did not have many troops stationed in Xiaquyang, and in September, he asked some stragglers nearby to support the Guangzong battlefield, but he was surrounded by Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu County, in Xiaquyang.

Xiaquyang is surrounded by water on three sides, just located on the convex bank of the river, and Guo Dian, the Taishou of Julu County, sent heavy troops to garrison the south of Xiaquyang to prevent Zhang Bao from leading his troops south to meet Zhang Jiao. They also built fortifications on the other side of the river, and at the same time sent a fleet to block the downstream river area, cutting off Zhang Bao's escape route.

One day in early November, Guo Dian went to a hill a few miles south of Xiaquyang City to observe the movements of the Yellow Turban Army. Just the day before, Guo Dian received the news that Zhang Liang had conferred the head, and Guangzong City had also been captured by the army led by Huangfu Song, and the situation in the main battlefield of Jizhou was very good, leaving only Zhang Bao to fight alone in Xiaquyang.

According to his judgment of the next move, Huangfu Song should lead his army north to join him, take advantage of the high morale and the fact that it has not snowed yet, capture Xiaquyang in one fell swoop, and return to the court before the end of the year.

After returning to the camp, Guo Dian prepared to order his subordinates to prepare siege weapons, and the county soldiers and recruited players should hurry up their training, and there would be a big battle in the next few days.

At this time, Guo Dian's long history hurriedly ran over, holding a letter in his hand, and said in Guo Dian's ear: "Taishou, a letter from General Huangfu Song." ”

Guo Dian opened the processed letter, and after reading it carefully, he frowned. Changshi didn't know the content of the letter, and asked, "Taishou, what did General Huangfu Song write in the letter?" ”

"General Huangfu Song said in the letter that he did not personally lead the army to converge, but sent an Inhuman force to assist in the siege of the city, so that we could prepare in advance." Guo Dian considered the language and picked out some information that was convenient to reveal.

"General Huangfu Song is not coming? Instead, you sent an Inhuman force over? What's going on? Changshi was a little confused, he remembered that when he discussed with Guo Dian, he said that Huangfu Song would definitely lead the army to come over to support, but now it has been replaced by an alien force.

"Don't underestimate this alien force, Zhang Jiao and Zhang Liang fell under him, just in terms of the combat effectiveness of the elite troops, it is no less than the Yulin Army or the Han Forbidden Army, our county soldiers may not be enough to see in front of others." Guo Dian explained.

"I see, then General Huangfu Song sent this stranger over, did the letter say how do you need us to cooperate?" Changshi asked.

"Just as we discussed yesterday, while repairing the armament, we will feign a siege with great fanfare, and drain the morale and energy of the defenders before reinforcements arrive." Guo Dian replied.

"Yes, Taishou, then I'll go down and give orders to the generals." Changshi said.

Guo Dian nodded and motioned to Changshi to arrange the task first, but as soon as Changshi opened the door of the tent, there was a movement outside, and Changshi came back with a herald behind him.

"Report to Taishou, Guangzong has reported the military situation, and General Pi's army is still three days away from arriving in Xiaquyang." The herald saluted.

"He is worthy of being a high-ranking soldier, the marching speed is so fast, no wonder General Huangfu is so jealous of him." Guo Dian said in a voice that only he could hear.

"Well, got it, you guys go down first." Guo Dian said to Changshi and the herald.

Guo Dian was the only one left in the camp, and he learned the basic information of the Flying Sky City army in the letter, and also saw Huangfu Song's evaluation of Lu Shuang. To tell the truth, Guo Dian admires Huangfu Song very much, he was born in a family of generals, dedicated to serving the country, and in the face of a powerful Inhuman force that appeared, he used his own way to weaken the strength of the Inhuman force as much as possible, and even gave up a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions.

However, according to the urine nature of the old naughty boys in the imperial court, they would not take a strange force in their eyes, even if Lu Shuang made great achievements, they still thought that Lu Shuang could not enter the temple and was not afraid. However, as a general commanding the three armies, Huangfu Song foresaw with foresight that if the development of the Inhuman forces was not restricted, he might not even be able to control the imperial court and local government in the future, and he would be a local snake far away from the Emperor of Shangao.

Therefore, Huangfu Song hoped to take the opportunity of this attack on Xia Quyang to take the opportunity to weaken the power of Feitian City. However, he couldn't let the imperial army attack the Flying Sky City army, after all, it violated the rule that the same camp could not attack each other, and more importantly, he couldn't explain to the imperial court, so he could only achieve this goal through other means.

But because Lu Shuang is not a subordinate of Huang Fu Song, he only has the name of a general of the state and is not under the command of Huang Fu Song, and Huang Fu Song has no power to directly order Lu Shuang's actions. Therefore, if you want to order Lu Shuang to send elite soldiers to gnaw hard bones, it will not work.

"Huangfu Song threw a problem to me, but this stranger has developed too fast, and he has to come up with a good solution before he arrives, that is, in three days." Guo Dian thought to himself.

Three days later, when Lu Shuang led the army to the camp where Guo Dian was stationed, Guo Dian personally came out to greet him, praised Lu Shuang, and asked his subordinates to prepare hot food to reward the Flying City army from afar.

Lu Shuang only brought two and a half legions this time, and the cavalry had little effect on the battle, Cheng Hui's Paladin Legion and Wang Yue's Shenxing Legion returned first, carried by the fleet, and returned to Feitian City from the Yellow River waterway. Moreover, if the Flying City fleet does not leave, if the river downstream freezes, it may have to spend the winter in the north.

Now Lu Shuang's legions supporting Guo Dian only have the Countercurrent Legion and the Spirit Fox Legion, as well as his Danyang Qing soldiers, with a total number of no more than 110,000 people. Among them, the total number of Countercurrent Legion and Spirit Fox Legion is 80,000 seventh-order soldiers and 20,000 eighth-order soldiers, and in the battle, the advantage of the eighth-order soldiers over the seventh-order soldiers is not as obvious as in the positional battle, which is also the reason why Lu Shuang did not choose to bring the Shenxing Legion with him. In addition, with the assistance of Guo Dian's county soldiers, it was not difficult to capture Zhang Bao's Xiaquyang.

Two days later, the soldiers of Feitian City were rested and lined up in Xiaquyang with Guo Dian's county soldiers, preparing to attack the city.

In the past two days, Lu Shuang and Guo Dian have finalized the strategy, first the troops composed of county soldiers and players will attack, and the Countercurrent Legion and the Spirit Fox Legion, as the main force of this battle, will find a good opportunity to charge at any time.

"General Pi, this Zhang Bao doesn't have Zhang Jiao's intelligence and commanding talent, nor is he as brave as Zhang Liang, but he has learned Zhang Jiao's spells, so he has to be careful." Guo Dian was beside Lu Shuang, pointing to the city wall of Xiaquyang and said.

"In addition to Zhang Jiao, does Zhang Bao also know spells?" Lu Shuang said curiously, it turns out that there are still many historical figures of warlocks here in China.

"That's right, this Zhang Bao has neither force nor command the Yellow Turban Army under his command, if he doesn't know how to use spells, even with my troops here, he can't sleep peacefully every day. However, his spells are not like Zhang Jiao's 'Yellow Turban World', but are biased towards offensive spells, such as wind, fireballs, lightning, falling rocks, etc., the range is not large, but the power is not small, and the soldier basically can't survive if he is hit. Guo Dian explained.

"I see, but no matter how much Zhang Bao tosses, he is only one person, and he can't play much role in front of us." Lu Shuang said lightly.

"Oh? It seems that General Pi is very confident. Guo Dian smiled.

Of course, Lu Shuang is confident, not only the 100,000 high-level soldiers under him, but also several top generals. Although Wang Yue and Cheng Hui each led the legion back, Lu Shuang was followed by Zhou Cang, Wang He, and Tai Shici and Xu Sheng, who were subdued when they went north to defeat the Yellow Turban Army this time, and even Zhang Liang had to kneel down and sing about conquest in front of them, and a mage on the battlefield, as long as he was not as perverted as Zhang Jiao, could not play a big role.

The attack soon began, and the player and the soldiers under the command of Guo Dian marched towards the city wall in an orderly manner, while the Yellow Turbans on the city wall returned fire as they came within range.

Lu Shuang went all the way north, after the baptism of more than a dozen wars, large and small, quite experienced, he soon found that although the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall was not lost, it gave people a sense of chaos, much worse than Zhang Liang.

As the soldiers of Feitian City joined the battlefield, the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall felt a lot of pressure, obviously only a few hundred people could be reinforced at a time, but they had to pay a great price to defend it, and even asked Zhang Bao to take action personally.

This is Lu Shuang's new way of playing in the face of warlocks, taking advantage of the strength of the soldiers of Feitian City, attacking wave after wave like a wave, the Yellow Turban Army is tired of defending the city wall, Zhang Bao does not gain much in one shot, and it is easy to expose his position.

"Brothers, follow me!"

Xu Sheng found out the weak position of the Yellow Turban Army's defense, and took the lead in attacking the city wall in one fell swoop, and the soldiers behind him poured up the city wall like ants, firmly occupying this section of the city wall.

However, the good times did not last long, and several fireballs landed in the area from the sky, and more than a dozen soldiers were unfortunately hit and turned into ashes in the flames. Some of the ladders below were hit by the fireball, breaking in two, and the soldiers who were climbing fell to the ground. Zhang Bao's spell cast this time, and twenty soldiers of Flying City were killed and more than ten were injured.

These fireballs are nothing to Xu Sheng, after easily dodging all the fireball attacks, Xu Sheng sensed that there was a gaze on the other side of the city wall that fell on him, and when he looked over, he saw a person who looked like a warlock, surrounded by a group of yellow turban wrestlers, it seemed that this was Zhang Bao.

Xu Sheng didn't have the impulse to rush over to take the head of the enemy general, although the martial arts close mage had an advantage, but the Yellow Turban Lux beside Zhang Bao was not a vegetarian, in case he was dragged down, Zhang Bao made another big move, and Xu Sheng was injured if he didn't die.

After looking at Zhang Bao a little, Xu Sheng felt that he was a bit similar to Zhang Jiao's outfit, and his demeanor was naturally Zhang Jiao's more godlike temperament, while Zhang Bao was fierce and vicious; But it doesn't look like Zhang Liang's reckless portrait.

While killing the enemy, Xu Sheng calculated in his heart that Zhang Bao had already rushed over here, so the other side should start acting soon. Thinking of this, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth rose and began to mourn for Zhang Bao.
