Chapter 226: Abandoning the City
As night fell, after a whole day of fighting, Gaoyou County still did not calm down, and the expeditionary force was urgently arranging fortifications to concentrate on the corpses left by the war, so as to avoid plague and other disasters.
The expeditionary force has captured all three walls, and the Mountain God Guild is still in the city, actively deploying troops in various streets, and they are trying to use private houses and other buildings to fight street battles with the expeditionary force. At the same time, the defense of the northern city wall was strengthened, and most of the soldiers were secretly transferred to the north of the city, ready to retreat at any time, and also to prevent even the last city wall from being lost and caught by the expeditionary force in an urn.
The intention of the Mountain God Guild in doing this is also very clear, that is, they don't want to give up this small city yet, hoping to delay for a while and find an opportunity to fight back.
In this regard, Zang Ba urgently summoned several corps commanders to discuss the next countermeasures.
"Generals, now that the three walls of Gaoyou City have been taken by our army, the Yellow Turban thieves have retreated to the city, and the scouts sent have detected the periphery and found that they have begun to put wood and stones on some main streets, and have sent many Yellow Turban thieves to the private houses, it seems that they want to prevent our army from entering the inner city." Zang Ba informed the several army commanders present of this information.
"Could it be that this yellow turban thief wants to fight with us in the streets?" Sun Ping was the first to speak, because street fighting was not friendly to archers, although archers could also enter buildings to snipe enemies, but there were too many bunkers in street fighting, and they were all dense buildings, and archers could not play their due role in this situation.
"If the Yellow Turban Thieves want to fight in the streets, it will be a disadvantage for our legion, unless they can be forced to fight in the streets." Sun Ping frowned.
"Street fighting is ever-changing, and we are not familiar with the terrain inside, so we can shoot a few enemy troops or shoot arrows out of the shadows at any time. Here, basically, a short-term handover is unavoidable, and the streets are narrow, so you can only act in small teams, which is not conducive to the play of the establishment. Chen Lang also felt a little headache.
In the era of cold weapons, the threat of street fighting to the attacker is far less than the threat brought by the era of hot weapons, and the era of hot weapons can solve the soldiers of the attacker with guns in the dark, while most of the cold weapons era still have to be hand-to-hand combat, and it is not the mainstream way to play with dark arrows. In terms of single combat ability, the soldiers of Flying Sky City also crushed each other, even if they acted in small teams, but if it was a large-scale formation, they could exert the strength of one plus one greater than two, so as the leader of the sword and shield soldiers in the Blood Wolf Legion, Chen Lang still hoped to fight with the construction system.
"Actually, what I'm thinking about is that the Yellow Turban Thieves can't hold the city walls, and there are so many elites, why do they think that street fighting can repel our attack?" Yu Wenchao thought of another point, and analyzed it carefully: "And if they insist on fighting in the streets, when the day comes tomorrow, under the attack from three sides, they will lose the last wall, no matter how many troops they send to defend." When the time comes, the Yellow Turban Thieves will be caught in our urn, and unless they have reinforcements arrive, or dig a tunnel leading to the outside, there is only one way to die in the city. In addition to these, there is another possibility..."
"Will they abandon the city and flee early?" Zang Ba added.
"That's right, it's to abandon the city and flee in advance." Yu Wenchao and Zang Ba's thoughts coincide, in fact, if you think about it, after all, the city territory is dead, and the soldiers are alive, rather than desperately fighting with the expeditionary force in the streets, it is better to retain the vitality to slip away, so that at least there will be a chance to make a comeback in the future.
The same was true of the Yellow Turban Alliance in Hailing County before, Onicang saw that the general trend had gone, and if he continued to fight, he had to fight against a group of defeated soldiers and the Iron Division, even if they could exchange for some casualties of the soldiers of Flying Sky City, but they would have to pay for all their forces. Fighting a war is not a matter of will, the army may be really gone, they have to think about their own forces. Although the Yellow Turban Alliance was defeated after ordering a retreat at that time, it was correct in the long run, but at that time, the defeat was already assured, and the ghost warehouse could not recover the situation.
"How many Yellow Turban thieves are there in the city?" Zang Ba immediately asked this question.
"There's less than a million left." After the battle, Yuwen Chao counted the number of casualties of the enemy and us in time, and said: "The Yellow Turban Thieves have lost at least 30,000 sixth-order soldiers and 5,000 seventh-order soldiers in the two stages of defending and attacking the city, and the Yellow Turban Thieves have lost at least 30,000 sixth-order soldiers and 5,000 seventh-order soldiers. Although it is impossible to determine how many Yellow Turban elites there are in Gaoyou County, based on the number of Inhumans and the strength of the forces, this loss is close to half of their total number of elites. ”
After choosing the Yellow Turban faction, the player force can get a certain amount of support from the Yellow Turban Army, but the size of this support depends on the number of players in the county and the overall strength of the player force. There are more players in Hailing County, and the two forces of the Domination Guild and the Yellow Turban Alliance have the strength of second-rate guilds, so if you judge from the situation in Hailing County, what Yu Wenchao said is not much worse. Of course, if the Mountain God Guild exchanged for sixth- and seventh-order soldiers, it would be a different matter.
"In this case, if I am the leader of the Yellow Turban Thieves, I will definitely withdraw all the elites, and the city will leave the Inhumans to defend, anyway, the Inhumans can be resurrected after they die, and the impact is not great. And leaving the Inhumans to fight in the streets, this huge Gaoyou City, even if the strength of the Inhumans is vulnerable, it can still pose a threat to the future defense of the city, especially under the combination of the inside and the outside. But if we want to get rid of them all, we need to check each house and every place one by one, and it is enough for us to bear. Zang Ba analyzed the strategic choices that the Mountain God Guild might make next.
"Then let's just send troops to ambush them, without these elites, the Inhumans in the city can't make any waves." Chen Lang said.
"That's exactly what I mean." Zang Ba was the first to say.
......
The county lord's mansion of Gaoyou County, the president of the Mountain God Guild, the high-level officials, and the elite backbones all gathered together to decide the next road.
Now the loss of the three city walls of Gaoyou County has become a foregone conclusion, and the high-level leaders of the Mountain God Guild no longer seem to dare to take risks. On the one hand, they have completely died of the idea of retaking the city wall, and if they continue to fight, the entire guild may have to take it into it and become someone else's points.
Since there is no attack on the city walls, something must be done, and the guild leader's reply is to leave some players in the alleys to fight with the expeditionary force, and their guild leaders will lead the remaining elite of the guild to abandon the city, retaining the vitality in the hope of making a comeback.
The current president was very unhappy, when he first chose the faction, he was ambitious that choosing the Yellow Turban camp was the most suitable for their guild, and choosing the Yellow Turban camp could maximize the benefits obtained by the Mountain God Guild. In fact, just as he expected, it first swept through the surrounding towns and towns, absorbing many yellow turbans and life occupations, so that the guild's strength grew rapidly. Then there was the pressure of the soldiers, and they captured Gaoyou County strongly, and the scenery was unlimited for a while. However, the good times did not last long, since the expeditionary force from Hailing County stepped into Gaoyou County, the Mountain God Guild was suppressed everywhere, and even the proud military force was so vulnerable in front of the Flying Sky City, and the three city walls fell in less than half a day, and a lot of soldiers and horses were folded in. After this battle, the shareholders of those guilds and sponsors will definitely not be able to spare themselves, and the president thought to himself, after breaking out, he will submit his resignation letter.
While the leader of the Mountain God Guild was meditating, the sound of war drums suddenly faintly came from all around, and he was both worried and expectant. Not long after, a player rode a war horse to the city lord's mansion, saying that the expeditionary force on the three walls was preparing to attack, and now the drums were beating loudly on the city walls, and soldiers under the walls had come out to clear the barricades and assemble in formation.
"President, if the other party wants to attack at this time, this is our chance." A senior executive said excitedly.
"Are you impatient to attack tonight?" The chairman was very angry, the expeditionary force obviously looked down on them, and decided to fight street battles, even if it was a street fight, but also at night, when they came in with torches, the enemy was in the open and I was in the dark, and the expeditionary force would pay huge casualties.
However, he is not worried that the expeditionary force will set fire, because there are still many NPC residents in this city, and if it is set on fire, it is estimated that Gaoyou City will become a ruin and a hell on earth, and the county government will not easily let go of Feitian City at that time.
"Without further ado, we will also prepare to retreat when they have not yet surrounded them, and all units remember to order their subordinates not to make loud noises, so as not to arouse suspicion of the expeditionary force." With that, the president mounted a war horse and walked towards the north gate.
The battle report from the front line became more and more urgent, and the news brought back by the last scout said that the expeditionary force had been assembled, and most of the soldiers were holding a torch and attacking towards the side of Minxiang.
On the side of the Mountain God Guild, the Yellow Turban Army was leaving the city from the north gate in an orderly manner, and after gathering the queue a little, they set off towards the north. They can't stay in Gaoyou County anymore, and then they have to go to Ping'an or Sheyang further north to temporarily avoid the edge of the expeditionary force.
As soon as they left Gaoyou County, there were all kinds of shouts and screams in the city, and those players didn't know that they had been abandoned by the Mountain God Guild and became the last stone behind the palace. The president and other high-ranking officials walked at the front of the team, and in front and behind were the Yellow Turban elites, loyally protecting the leaders.
After walking for more than half an hour, there were no obstacles on the road, and if there were obstacles, it meant that their plans had been exposed. But for some reason, the chairman has always had an ominous premonition in his heart, and the other high-level officials around him are in the mood of going away, but the more he goes, the more his heart trembles, and I don't know if it is because of nervousness or self-blame after abandoning the city.
After walking for about an hour, I left the plain area near Gaoyou City and began to enter the mountains. There is an official road leading to the two northern counties, but the Yellow Turban Elite who walked in the front found a beam of light in front of them, standing in the middle of the road.
