Chapter 216: The Yellow Turban Retreats

At this time, there was an expression of surprise on his face, the battle of Celestial Elephant Town was shattered by the Flying City Legion, but he didn't expect to encounter the main army of Flying Sky City again in less than ten days. Although it was not the terrifying black wave, the Steel Thorn Legion also left a deep impression on the domain, at that time, he couldn't defeat 10,000 seventh-order soldiers and tens of thousands of sixth-order soldiers, and now with the remaining 300,000 Forty-Five Order Yellow Turban Army, it is tantamount to an idiot's dream.

Fortunately, the scouts sent by the domain were found early, and there were scouts who fed back the information twenty miles from the Yellow Turban Army in the north of the city, and the domain knew that it was invincible, and it was possible that the defenders would be attacked out of the city. If something happens to the Yellow Turban Army in the north of their city, then when this legion enters the city, with their strength, even if there are 50,000 more seventh-order soldiers in the ghost warehouse, they may not be able to capture the county seat.

But what Yu didn't know was that this situation also occurred in the Yellow Turban Army in the south of the city, and Onicang had already sent a force to support, and if there was another reinforcement from the imperial court camp from the east, then he would have no way to take care of it. And after half a day of tragic siege, the Yellow Turban Army in the west suffered heavy casualties, with more than 600,000 casualties, in exchange for the lives of the defenders of 100,000, the ghost warehouse must press all the high-level Yellow Turban elites here, if it is sent out as reinforcements, then this war is even more difficult to end.

However, almost all of the surviving defenders of the western city wall are injured, or their physical strength is too great, and the ghost warehouse can send the fourth-order Yellow Turban Army to support, but the high-level soldiers and generals must continue to participate in the siege, otherwise the ace troops sent by the county government on the city wall will not be able to deal with it, and a king-level military general and several special-level generals under the county order have made the Yellow Turban Army's several onslaught attacks in vain, and the Yellow Turban Army will be swept off the city wall immediately without high-end military support.

This is one of the strategies formulated by Lu Shuang against the Yellow Turban camp, avoiding the real and attacking the false. If the Yellow Turban Army is all concentrated in one place to attack the city, even if it is the main army of Flying Sky City, there will be a lot of casualties, and Lu Shuang doesn't want to see his subordinates fighting to the death for others. And if the Yellow Turban Army disperses its forces, then it will give each opportunity to break through, and moving troops to rescue will give the defenders time to breathe, and if they don't save it, it will be equivalent to cutting off their own arm, which will give a headache to the top of the Yellow Turbans.

Ghost Cang made a desperate bet, and all the 10,000 seventh-order Yellow Turban elites and special-level generals were sent to the battlefield, becoming the last straw that crushed the camel. After all, there is only one king-level military general under the county commander, and his role on this ten-mile-long city wall is limited, and the special military general can only drag the special military general of the Yellow Turban Army at most, and he is powerless against the seventh-order soldiers who are constantly attacking the city behind him. At this time, the gate of the western city wall was finally broken by the crashing wood, this small city-level city, the city gate is not much stronger, if it were not for the human collision wood, it would have been knocked open a long time ago.

The two sides fought at the city gate, and soon the city gate was filled with corpses, but in the end, it was the Yellow Turbans who had the upper hand and soon took control of the city gate. Seeing that the city gates were wide open, and the results of several hours of fierce fighting and countless sacrifices of soldiers were within reach, Onikura ordered the whole army to attack and take down the entire city wall in one go.

However, after the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch, Hailing County already has a hegemon-level force, and the Yellow Turban Alliance wants to defeat the forces of the imperial court camp and dominate in Hailing County, and it has to challenge this overlord, otherwise one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and there will inevitably be a struggle between the two forces.

This overlord is the Flying Sky City behind Lu Shuang, not to mention the hostile relationship between the camps, just because the Yellow Turban Alliance wants to occupy the county seat and dominate the family, which Lu Shuang cannot tolerate. Although Lu Shuang usually does not have too much intersection with other player forces in the county, and there are not even many disputes, he has always paid attention to the comparison of the strength of the major forces, Hailing County is the base camp of Feitian City after all, and a behemoth is not allowed to threaten Feitian City, so the struggle between the two is inevitable.

At the moment, although the Onikura has left a hand to be vigilant against the attack of the main army of Flying Sky City, they can only disperse their forces in order to siege the city, and if they encounter an attack, it may be difficult for them to defend. This is a paradox, no matter what the ghost warehouse chooses, there will be its pros and cons, and at most there can be some measures that can be taken to minimize its negative impact.

But no matter how prepared the ghost warehouse was, he couldn't resist the joint attack of several main legions in Feitian City, and just when he sent more and more elite Yellow Turban troops to seize the city walls and city gates, a herald immediately came from the rear army to report, saying that a large number of heavy cavalry appeared a few miles away in the rear and was galloping towards the rear army. At the same time, there were also heralds in the southeast and northeast directions to report, the Yellow Turban Army in the north and south was flanked by reinforcements and defenders, the Yellow Turban Army was in chaos, the whole line was defeated, and the reinforcements were driven to the west to flee, and now tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops are fleeing for their lives.

Although the rear army of the Yellow Turban Army in the west of the city arranged heavy shield soldiers and archers to defend against the heavy cavalry, it was only a heavy shield soldier of 10,000 fifth-order soldiers after all, and the possibility of stopping the eighth-order heavy cavalry was zero, at most they could only slow down the pace of the heavy cavalry, and did not want them to attack the rear army in a state of charge.

This time, Cheng Hui had already prepared, and each cavalry of the Holy Horse Legion under his command was equipped with two additional javelins, which could be used to make the javelins throw farther and more lethal with the help of the horses when they ran. After all, the Paladins were mainly heavy cavalry, mainly charging into battle and hand-to-hand combat, shooting arrows at gallops on horses, which was difficult to do without the assistance of stirrups, and the opponent had heavy shields and archers, and the effect of using javelins was better than that of bows and arrows.

The Paladins changed their once indomitable style, divided into several teams of hundreds of thousands of people, and when they charged to a distance of less than one hundred and fifty meters, the javelin in their hands suddenly struck, cutting a perfect and cold arc in the air, and fell into the rear of the Yellow Turban Army, and there were endless screams. The team was also not greedy, and immediately after the javelin was fired, they turned to the left and made a surprise attack on the left of the Yellow Turbans. Only then did the arrows fall, and except for a few extremely unlucky cavalrymen, the rest were twisted apart, and the arrows fired by fifth- or sixth-order archers could not penetrate the fifth-order armor, and the cavalry did not suffer any casualties.

This javelin has been modified by the realm king-level blacksmith, and its penetrating power far exceeds that of ordinary arrows, and it is thrown when the horse charges, which is equivalent to a crossbow fired by a miniature ballista. The heavy shield soldiers in the Yellow Turban Army are only fifth-order soldiers, and the quality of the shields used is not much better, if it is a shield made of steel or 100-for-steel steel, it is impossible for a fifth-order soldier to lift it at all, at best, it is only a shield made of iron, which can resist the arrows shot by the sixth-order soldier, and it is powerless against the javelin.

The rest of the cavalry of the Paladins, like the first cavalry, did not have a head iron to charge into battle, and charged and threw a round of javelins and dispersed to the left and right, using the mobility of the cavalry to constantly harass the rear and flanks.

The javelins fell into the rear army formation like crossbow arrows, and those heavy shield soldiers with shields were directly pierced by the javelins, and even the people with shields crashed into the archers phalanx behind, causing many secondary casualties. The javelin is not better than the crossbow arrows shot by the ballista can penetrate several soldiers, Cheng Hui only wants to be able to cause damage to the heavy shield soldiers, as for the javelins that fall into the archer phalanx, basically one shot is accurate, the archers cannot be thrown in pieces, and the threat to the cavalry is not so great.

The Holy Horse Legion harassed them several times, and before they knew it, the left, right, and rear armies of the Yellow Turban Army had a heavy cavalry of 5,000 people attacking them, and the heavy shield soldiers and archers of the rear army were seriously wounded and wounded, and they were charged by the 5,000 heavy cavalry, and they were quickly disorganized. Onikura had also tried to send troops over to stop the Paladins from harassing the flanks and rear, but they were too numerous, and the formation of troops covered a very large area, and there were reinforcements here, so they moved to another place with good mobility.

At the same time, the reinforcements sent by Feitian City to the south and north of the city cooperated with the defenders, and the Yellow Turban Army had been defeated, and a large number of defeated troops were driven west by the Flying City army.

In the process of being pursued, the defeated army is in a mess, and if it is allowed to come over, it will inevitably disrupt its own formation. If they are not accepted, but instead order "death to those who dare to rush into battle", then tens of thousands of defeated troops who are desperate for survival may raise their weapons and blades against the robes who hinder their escape. "The Real World" does a very close job of being realistic in this regard, whether they are not their own subordinates or not, when the morale drops to a certain level, there will be this situation of completely unable to command.

It can be said that Lu Shuang's trick is superb, first to avoid the real and defeat the Yellow Turban Army in the south and north of the city, and then use them to deal with the main force of the Yellow Turban, tens of thousands of people poured over, Ghost Cang originally wanted to continue to increase troops to take the city wall and city gate in one go, but was stopped by the defeated army, basically the Yellow Turban Army fighting in the city and on the city wall became a lone army, and there was no follow-up force to make up for it, and it was impossible to retreat if you wanted to, because there were too many soldiers who fled.

In addition, the flanks and backs of the Yellow Turban Army have been harassed by heavy cavalry, and the main force of the Chinese army is panicked, even though Onicang has always ordered the guild of the Yellow Turban Alliance to stabilize his subordinates, but under the planning of well-intentioned people, the news of "the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army" came from all directions, and some players couldn't resist the pressure and wanted to be deserters.

At this time, several legions of Feitian City exerted pressure together, the steel thorn legion and the heavenly absolute legion came from the north of the city, and the one hundred thousand sixth-order soldiers from the south of the city, like a meat grinder that was slowly advancing, and whoever approached would die.

The Yellow Turban Army fought fiercely for half a day, and even standing consumed physical strength, and most of them were sleepy. Moreover, there are only one million soldiers left in the main army, and the army of Feitian City has 180,000 high-ranking soldiers, and they are waiting for work, and Lu Shuang is confident that he can defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

In the face of the current situation, many players who have joined the Yellow Turban Alliance are considering retreating, and they don't want to lose all their own forces when they know that they can't be defeated, and they are all persuading the ghost warehouse to withdraw their troops.

Seeing that the general trend is gone, if he is given another half an hour, he may be able to gnaw off the hardest bone and occupy a city wall. It's a pity that there is no if in reality, or that every move of the Yellow Turban Army has been arranged clearly, and it bites their throats as soon as they make a move.

But the top management of the Yellow Turban Alliance still overestimated the discipline of the Yellow Turban Army, whether it was players or NPCs, after hearing the retreat, they all wanted to survive themselves, except for the Yellow Turban elite, there was no discipline at all, and it was a mess again.

Lu Shuang will not let go of such an opportunity, in his eyes, these are points for nothing, and he can't do the thing of letting the tiger return to the mountain, he pursued all the way for fifty miles, and even the high-ranking soldiers in the legion were exhausted,
