Chapter 214: First Arrival
The next day, when the sky was dark, Xiaoxiao and the others had already come to the city wall, looked at the Yellow Army camp with fire in the distance, and knew that the Yellow Turban Army was cooking on a fire, preparing to start a day's attack.
Although Smile and the others tried their best to defend the city, what they were most worried about was this county order. After all, the player can be resurrected, and the death of a high-level NPC like the county order naturally cannot be resurrected, even if the county order does not lose his life, as long as the county seat is captured, his career can almost be said to be here.
As a result, the prefectural order has been restless for the past few days, and he has adopted most of the defensive suggestions put forward by the player forces, and even used heavy rewards to motivate players to actively participate in defending the city. In fact, he can't do it anymore, and when it comes to the crisis, now only the players can be relied on, except for the west city wall, which is defended by the officers and soldiers of the county government, the other three city walls are guarded by some player forces, plus a small number of officers and soldiers.
At about eight o'clock in the morning, the Yellow Turban Army overheated its entire army, prepared to march towards the county seat, surrounded it on all sides, and could not even fly out.
Onicang didn't plan to besiege the city or anything, he knew that a reinforcement army would soon arrive in the county seat, and he had to end this battlefield in Hailing County as soon as possible. The Yellow Turban Army seems to have close to three million people, but in fact, the proportion of the combat effectiveness of the standard fourth-order soldiers is not very large, and some of them are still less than the fourth-order Yellow Turban minions, and in the face of the defenders who are only one-third of their own number, the ghost cang does not dare to be careless.
Recently, especially after the Hegemony Guild joined in, Onicang, as the leader of the Yellow Turban Alliance, often felt great pressure in addition to that high spirit, after all, he led three million people, although it was not an irreviable life in reality, but the fate of three million people was tied to him, and it was also a huge burden on his shoulders.
The process is always tortuous, and they encounter a lot of ambushes and harassment along the way, because the players can only be resurrected in the Yellow Turban Cottage or their respective territories, far away from the county seat, so once a player is killed, it means that even if they are resurrected, they will not be able to rush to the frontal battlefield at a critical time.
Without too many provocations, the Yellow Turban Army, which had set up a good formation, directly launched an attack and advanced towards the county seat in an orderly manner. Walking in the forefront, there are several rows of sword and shield soldiers carrying ladders, they hold their shields in one hand, raise the ladder in the other, and run wildly under the city wall, their task is to quickly put the ladder on the city wall and create opportunities for the Yellow Turban Army in the rear.
More than a dozen catapults were slowly pushed to less than 400 meters from the city walls, and the operators were unfamiliar with adjusting the angles of the catapults in order to accurately project the stones onto the walls. After all, the county seat is a power of the imperial court, and the background is still a little better than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and the number of catapults is ten more than that of the Yellow Turban camp, but in order to avoid being used by the Yellow Turban Army to avoid the tactics of avoiding the real and attacking the false, the county order installed three catapults on each of the other three city walls, and placed fifteen on the west city wall.
The level of the control hands on both sides is eight pounds and eight taels, and its accuracy is about one-tenth of two, and the people of the Yellow Turban camp only need to project the stones at the maximum distance, whether it is smashed into the city wall or the soldiers on the city wall, catapults, or directly thrown into the city, it can be regarded as causing great psychological pressure on the defenders. And the defenders need to grasp it more, although there are many Yellow Turban soldiers, and they can hit people by throwing a stone casually, but the catapults on the city wall are difficult to move after all, and they are easy to be targeted by the opponent's catapults, once the catapults of a certain side are all damaged, then the morale will be affected in the next period of time.
If you see it to the king-level controllers in Lu Shuang's territory, they will definitely be treated as children throwing stones, and they can only hit a few unjust ghosts, and it will be very difficult to accurately hit the target. Therefore, the two sides threw it for a long time, and almost all the catapults on both sides were scrapped, and those that were not smashed and damaged on the spot were also seriously reduced due to the continuous projection of many times, and they could no longer be used, and the two sides continued to fight by relying on the most primitive way of attacking and defending the city.
In order to motivate his subordinates to successfully attack the city wall, Onikura ordered that anyone who was the first to attack the city wall would receive a reward of 500 gold, and if it was an NPC soldier under the command of a guild force, it would be collected by the lord of the guild force. If the player lands first, no matter which force he is in, the five hundred gold is his reward alone.
This sentence greatly boosted the morale of all Yellow Turban players, and 500 gold was converted into RMB but 5 million, which means that as long as you can break through the heavy attacks of the defenders and climb the city wall, you can get these 5 million, which is very attractive to ordinary players.
The battle continues, and although the morale of the players in the Yellow Turban camp has increased greatly, the battle is about taking it step by step.
The Yellow Turban minions still rushed up the ladder without fear of death, and continued to decline, and corpses were piled up near the base of the wall. At this time, a team of sixth-order Yellow Turban archers, under the cover of the fifth-order heavy shield soldiers, slowly advanced, stopped at a position one hundred and fifty meters away from the city wall, and with the extremely skillful cooperation of the archers and heavy shield soldiers, a rain of arrows shot towards the defenders on the city wall, and suddenly there was a gap in the defense of the city wall, and they were almost taken advantage of by the Yellow Turban minions.
Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army's main attack on the West Gate City Wall was mainly responsible for the officers and soldiers, and their combat effectiveness and organizational ability were much stronger than the soldiers of other forces. However, the effect was modest, as the casualties caused by a catapult were minimal, and most of the arrows fired by the defenders were blocked by the tall shields of the heavy shield soldiers, with only a few unlucky Yellow Turban archers striking the shots.
On the other hand, the defenders of the city took advantage of the height of the city wall, and on the other hand, the width of the city wall also limited the play of the defenders. But as long as the Yellow Turban archers target the defenders of a certain section of the city wall, even if they have to pay three or four hundred casualties at a time, they can also bring great trouble to the defenders, and if they are not replenished in time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
This Yellow Turban Archer has only 20,000 people, and it is equipped with all second-level hard bows, which is a long-range force built by all the joining forces of the Yellow Turban Alliance, which is very expensive, but the effect can also be significant.
The ghost warehouse will not make the casualties of the Yellow Turban archers worthless, and while dispatching the archers, three seventh-order Yellow Turban elites of five hundred people are disguised as Yellow Turban minions under the leadership of several player generals. After the Yellow Turban archers paid more than 600 casualties and suppressed the defenders of a section of the city wall, the seventh-order Yellow Turban elite took the opportunity to climb the ladder, holding a round shield and braving a small number of arrows, rushing up at a faster speed.
The defenders of this section of the city wall did not all fall, but the remaining defenders were only sixth-order centurions at the highest, and even if they relied on the advantage of the city wall, it would be difficult to deal with the seventh-order soldiers. Under the combined efforts of several people, the seventh-order Yellow Turban elite dodged arrows and spears, but was hit by a stone of more than twenty catties, and fell down together with the two people behind him. This height falls, unless it falls on the corpse, it will not die and will be crippled for life.
However, the sacrifice of these three Yellow Turban elites bought time for his robes, and a player general dodged the declining Yellow Turban Army like an ape, and at this time he was less than three meters away from the city wall, and he was actually using his hands and feet together, and he was about to come to the city wall in the blink of an eye. By this time, the defenders from elsewhere had already rushed to their aid, and in the face of the imminent rain of arrows, the player gritted his teeth and leaped forward after dodging or parrying three arrows in a row, becoming the first player to land first.
As a mid-level general, these fifth-order soldiers nearby were naturally no opponents, and near the cloud ladder he came up, three soldiers had already fallen under his men, and the Yellow Turban elite behind him quickly climbed, trying to use this as a gap to occupy the city wall.
However, the officers and soldiers are still officers and soldiers, and there are a lot of generals in it, and this section of the city wall has become a place where the defenders ordered to focus on it, and there happened to be a special military general who arrived with the defenders and killed the player generals on the spot, and the Yellow Turban elite who was attacking the city in the rear was also sniped for a while, and suffered heavy losses.
The siege of the three seventh-order Yellow Turban elites did not work, but the defenders took a lot of effort to annihilate them all, and there were even three dangerous moments when the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city wall, which gave the Yellow Turban Army great encouragement behind.
"The player Moon Starry Sky is the first to climb the city wall, and the reward is five hundred gold!"
"Those who occupy the city wall will also be rewarded!"
The Yellow Turban camp was not discouraged by the failure of the strange move, nor did they cower because of the appearance of the first climber, in this atmosphere, many people have been carried away by the blood, only thinking about being able to storm the city wall and make achievements.
"Alliance leader, now that our morale has been greatly boosted, it's time to launch a real attack." Domain said.
Onikura was very excited in his heart, he could now see that the situation of the war was beginning to fall slightly to his side, so he ordered: "Since the morale is greatly boosted, then let's show them the strength of the Yellow Turban Army!"
