Chapter 200: Burning the Company Camp
"What does the prefectural order say? There's no reason for him to ignore something so big, right? "When encountering such a crisis event, the first thing many people think of is to ask the county order for help.
"The county order said that this Yellow Turban Army is just some rogue traitors fighting petty, and the task is issued for us players to solve by themselves, and the county government will not send troops." smiled bitterly.
"It's... Is the Yellow Turban Rebellion still a petty fight by the traitors? The Eastern Han Dynasty was almost overthrown, and if the county order was not sent again, if the Yellow Turban Army developed and expanded, it might even be captured in the county seat. Some unreasonable people present complained that in their opinion, such a big thing happened, and the government should not be silent.
He glanced at the person who spoke, shook his head, and said, "We all know the truth, but who is the other party?" The other party is an NPC, their thoughts and actions are controlled by the system, I guess the system is unwilling to send troops so early, so that the Yellow Turban Army can be as powerful as history says in the early stage, and it also makes the struggle between our players a little more intense. ”
"This system is really doing something." The people here thought.
"However, the county order is willing to relax the restrictions on players, saying that it can sell weapons and chain mail made of iron to players, as well as some materials that few of our players can produce at present, although many territories can produce weapons and chain mail made of iron, but the consumption during the war must be very large, and the county order can relax this restriction, which shows that our current situation is not too bad." The prestige of the smile is relatively high, and he sent someone to the government office early in the morning to ask questions, and he knows more information than other presidents and leaders.
Hearing this, everyone generally understands that the county will not send troops to assist players in the early stage, but only express support for players to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army and provide material help, so players still have to rely on themselves if they want to resist the Yellow Turban Army.
"Since the government and the court are unwilling to send troops, or that the officers and soldiers cannot support us before the Yellow Turban Army attacks Iron Blood Town the day after tomorrow, then we can only win by acting on our own. Therefore, I suggest that we either take the initiative to attack and be caught off guard by the Yellow Turban Army, or defend against the danger and set up checkpoints in the terrain that is favorable to us to consume the opponent's vital forces. Tianyu had his own idea and proposed.
In the western part of Hailing County, the dense area of the player's territory basically does not have the kind of natural danger that can be opened by one man and ten thousand people, and many places have been developed, and there are people who have set foot on it, and it may be very difficult to set up ambushes according to special places. Domain is not a fool, in the case of his large number of Yellow Turban Army, as long as a part of the Yellow Turban Army is sent to scatter to explore the way, the players of the Imperial Court camp want to ambush in places such as woods or canyons, and the probability of being discovered is very high.
However, although there is no natural danger in the western part of Hailing County, there are still terrains such as mountains and hills, and Tianyu's suggestion is to fight guerrilla warfare and movement warfare with the Yellow Turban Army based on these terrains. The Yellow Turban Army has a large number of people, but there are also many Yellow Turban Army with low strength, and most of these people are extremely low discipline and insufficient fighting. If a group of such Yellow Turban troops can be eliminated, in the future frontal battles, the balance of victory will be tilted a little in favor of the imperial camp.
On the route of the Yellow Turban Army's advance on this road, the first half of the road is a flat terrain, only on the road close to the Iron and Blood Alliance, there are several mountains on both sides of the official road, which is the closest road to Iron Blood Town, if you bypass this official road, you must pass through a large forest and swamp to go around the rear of Iron Blood Town, but such a price is too great, you don't need people from the imperial court camp to do it, maybe the Yellow Turban Army will have to throw down tens of thousands of corpses to pass through this forest and swamp, After all, for those Yellow Turban Army with low strength, the danger in the field is no less than fighting on the battlefield. Moreover, the walking speed in the forests and swamps is very slow, and it is a long detour, and it takes at least five or six days for the Yellow Turban Army to complete, and the risk is too great.
Tianyu proposed to build several walls on this official road overnight, which could accommodate one or two soldiers of the same thickness, let the soldiers stand on the two-meter-high wall and shoot arrows, and arrange sword and shield soldiers or spearmen in front of each wall, because of the terrain, the Yellow Turban Army could not open a battle line, and could only send a limited number of troops to attack the official road two or three miles wide, and only after eliminating this group of soldiers could the wall be destroyed, and there were also several walls behind, which could delay a lot of time and eliminate the living force of the Yellow Turban Army.
In the case that the archers are generally not of high rank, standing on a two-meter-high siege to shoot arrows will greatly improve the range, and if the domain sends cannon fodder to consume the physical strength of the defenders, then it may take a morning to break through a defensive line, and the loss is very large. If the regular army is sent over, it is better to say that if it is not attacked, the main force will be folded here, even if it is cleared, it will be difficult to do anything because the main army has suffered too much loss, and the threat to the county will be reduced to a very low level. In this case, the player power of the imperial court camp can also be reduced to the county seat, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver for them.
"This suggestion is good, in this gap where the Yellow Turban Army can't take a few lines of defense in a short period of time, we can still plan a few more actions to hit the morale of the Yellow Turban Army and eliminate their living force, it is best to even leave the high-ranking soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, as long as the main force of the domain is frustrated, even their millions of bloated Yellow Turban Army will not set off any storms." Smile agreed.
In the end, Tianyu's suggestion was approved by the guilds present, and they would send players or migrant workers to build a few walls on that section of the official road early tomorrow morning, and set up a defensive line before the Yellow Turbans arrived. Of course, it is impossible to make useful suggestions about Tianyu alone, and others also have their own suggestions, but they all revolve around the establishment of a line of defense, which is the role of auxiliary and assisting.
This suggestion was thought up by Tianyu and Jiacong, in fact, there is also a credit to Lu Shuang, long before the game update, after Lu Shuang implemented the territorial talent training program, let the territory's cartographers go to various places in Hailing County to step on the points, draw a detailed map, Lu Shuang handed a copy to Tianyu, Tianyu and Jiacong According to the location and direction of the Yellow Turban Cottage, as well as the harsh environment around the official road, they guessed the approximate route, and only then did they have the possibility of setting up a line of defense on the official road.
"Listen to the people of my guild, Qing Yu seems to have chosen the imperial court camp as well, fortunately he didn't choose the Yellow Turban camp, otherwise if we come back and forth, our Hailing County will be finished."
"We don't know anything about Qingyu now, but if he is involved, our imperial camp should have a much better chance of winning, but it's a pity that we have been sending people to King Kong City to find him, but we have not received a response." One of the presidents lamented.
When the forces of the imperial camp gathered to discuss countermeasures, the domain on the other side was not easy, and when he captured the last township, he did not choose to destroy it, but used it as a camp for the Yellow Turban Army. The location of this township is relatively good, surrounded by open plains, and if the enemy is attacking, it will soon be discovered, and if it is stationed in the woods, it may be used by people to stage a good show of burning the company camp for 800 miles, then his good luck will come to an end.
In the second half of the night, most of the Yellow Turbans were asleep, and even the Iron Men would feel tired after most of the day's march, not to mention resting in a place they thought was safe, and basically fell asleep as soon as they lay down, leaving only the drowsy sentries on duty to observe the darkness outside the township.
Just as they were dreaming, a panicked scream tore through the night sky, pulling people out of their dreams and into reality. The Yellow Turbans who lived on the outskirts of the township were okay, they at least knew what was going on, while the Yellow Turbans who lived in the town, although they were woken up, thought it was a prank by some people, and after waking up, they still lay on the carpet and refused to get up, until the screams and cries for help became louder and louder, and the generals in charge of them woke them up and quickly took their weapons and prepared for war at any time.
Since the Yellow Turban Army had 1.2 million people, even if many of the Yellow Turban Army were sleeping directly on the ground, they would not be able to accommodate so many people, so 400,000 people slept on the outskirts of the township, and they were the first victims when they encountered an enemy attack.
Yu was also woken up in a deep sleep, and when he learned that there was a cavalry attacking the township at night, he was unimpressed, thinking that a small cavalry, if he dared to come over, Lao Tzu would overthrow them.
When he came to the outside of the town, he found that it was completely different from what he thought, the cavalry of the night attack was not a small cavalry, not 10,000 but 8,000 people, and all of them were armed with hard bows, extremely flexible, and the range was even more powerful, as long as they swept in one direction, the Yellow Turban Army there was one after another, and when the domain came to the front line, the Yellow Turban Army on the periphery had already thrown down 30,000 or 40,000 corpses, all of which were crowded into the town.
In fact, the Yellow Turban Army has organized a counteroffensive in the domain, but the effect is quite small, tens of thousands of people have not rushed out of dozens of meters, and the cavalry immediately opened the distance, plus the range of the cavalry's arrows is all more than two hundred meters, they are helpless, at this moment the domain regrets why not set up more rejection horses.
When tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were kited to the point that there were only more than 10,000 people left, the morale of the survivors had jumped, and they frantically squeezed into the town, hoping that they could also enter the town to avoid this group of death, no matter how the generals shouted, and even killed chickens and monkeys, but the Yellow Turban Army was the Yellow Turban Army, how could they listen so much at this time, and they would fight for it if they had a chance to live.
The leader of the cavalry saw that the Yellow Turban troops on the periphery had retreated, and he was not in a hurry to pursue, and if he dared to move forward again, he would probably be counterattacked by the archers hiding in the wooden house.
However, just as the cavalry watched from afar, several circular objects were thrown from the cavalry's ranks, and landed on the buildings near the crowd like the sound of jars shattering, and liquid splashed out at the same time. As soon as the Yellow Turban Army smelled this pungent smell, they knew that something was wrong, and sure enough, the cavalry came over one after another, and one by one the archers put a rocket tower on the bow and shot it at these liquids, and the fire immediately spread, and soon became a fire.
Seeing this, the cavalry did not take advantage of the fire to rob, as if they had completed their task, they quickly receded like a tide, leaving nothing in the clearing.
Yu still couldn't figure out what other items could throw these canisters three or four hundred meters away besides catapults, only that he would lose at least 100,000 to 200,000 people that night. 2k reading web
