In fact, many players have a high evaluation of the strength of the county government, thinking that at this stage, the imperial court is still dominant, so hiding in the county town and having officers and soldiers can be safe.

In fact, this is not the case, the imperial court is still the most powerful force, after all, in the game it is the ruler, with the state apparatus to stop the violence, and the Yellow Turban Army is still quite weak in front of the imperial court. But the county government is not necessarily, don't look at a county with a population of millions of NPCs, but the county government has less than 300,000 troops, which is less than the player's troops.

Although the combat effectiveness of the officers and soldiers is stronger, after the current player's rank comes up, the number of fifth-order player soldiers will exceed that of the officers and soldiers, and the gap between the military strength of the player's forces and the county government will be narrowed. This system has long been taken into account, so the growth rate of players in the early stage of the game is much lower than that of ordinary NPCs, which is equivalent to NPCs with E qualifications, but after players grow up, this game is ultimately the player's world.

The 300,000 troops of the county government, plus the 500,000 troops of many player forces, the entire city has a total of 800,000 soldiers to defend, if it is not broken by the Yellow Turban Army, the number of defenders will increase to about 1 million, according to the three-zhang high city wall, the odds of victory will be a few points. But the reality is that there are no ifs, and now there is only one way to work together, defend the city, and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

The only good news is that yesterday, the 30,000 Yellow Turban elites chased to the county seat in order to pursue the forces of the imperial court camp, and were finally annihilated by the heavy cavalry who rushed to hear the news. Later, they learned that this 4,000 heavy cavalry was sent by Lu Shuang, and the attack of the Yellow Turban Alliance did catch the imperial camp by surprise, but the next day they wanted to repeat the old tricks, which was too underestimating Lu Shuang's strength.

The 4,000 heavy cavalry wiped out the 30,000 sixth-order Yellow Turban elites, which undoubtedly gave a boost to the people in the imperial court camp who defended the city, and they were confident that they would be able to hold on for a day in the face of the Yellow Turban Army that would arrive tomorrow.

At noon the next day, two million Yellow Turban soldiers came to the city, looking down from the three-zhang high city wall, and the eyes were like a yellow ocean. In the face of enemies several times their own, even if they are standing on the city wall, players who have experienced a lot of battles will fight in two arms.

Onicang was in high spirits, more than a dozen guild leaders followed behind him, and the group rode a tall horse to a thousand meters away from the county seat, looking at the city in front of them, which was once considered impregnable, at this time they felt that it was so small, and the short city wall was just a slightly higher hurdle for the millions of Yellow Turban Army, and more people could buy it.

As long as the county seat is captured, the Yellow Turban camp will have a small city-level settlement in Hailing County, even if the plot of the Yellow Turban Rebellion changes next, and the imperial court camp blows the horn of counterattack, it can be more confident. Moreover, the county seat is the seat of Hailing County, and the living talents in it must be relatively complete, and poor equipment is a very common and critical weakness in the Yellow Turban Army, if everyone in the Yellow Turban Army can be given a set of suitable equipment, and then with the advantage of numbers, their combat effectiveness will be no worse than that of ordinary officers and soldiers.

However, Onicang was not in a hurry to order an attack, the Yellow Turban army had just arrived in the city, and there were still many things to prepare. In addition to letting a part of the Yellow Turban Army monitor the movements in the city, he sent more than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops to camp twenty miles away.

They also set up strong bows and crossbows in various key places, they want to ensure that all the secret actions of the imperial court camp are martial arts, and it can be seen that some people in the Yellow Turban Alliance have a better understanding of the ancient marching and fighting, but fortunately, the people in the county town have no intention of going out of the city to sneak attack, otherwise they will be in the middle of it.

Hailing County is different from the township with a wall that is only one zhang high at most, and the city wall is three zhang high, even a special military general can't jump on it, let alone a soldier, and he must rely on a ladder to climb the city. So throughout the afternoon, you could see a steady stream of Yellow Turbans carrying wood to the camp, and there were many sounds of beating or sawing wood from inside, and these carpenters sent by various forces in the alliance were making simple engineering ladders.

The number of ladders determines whether the Yellow Turban Army can attack the city wall in one go, and if all the ladders are damaged, then the rest of the people can only stare dryly. The carpenters had a heavy task, they had to create thousands of ladders in half a day, and as an engineering weapon to hit the city gates, they did not have the ability to make siege engines or rush vehicles, so they could only use the trunk of a large tree, sharpen one end of it, and harden it with fire.

The Yellow Turbans who use the bumper can only lift the bumper with their arms, and there is no mission protection on their heads, and any of the arrows, rolling logs, or rolling stones will cause casualties to the Yellow Turbans and delay the progress of the attack on the city gate. However, there is also an advantage that the crashing wood is not easy to be lost compared to the rushing car, and the soldier who controls the collision wood is dead, and it can be replenished immediately, and the rushing car is almost completely scrapped.

In the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, more than a dozen "flying stones" are quietly arranged in one place, and the siege weapons that have appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period will bloom with their brilliance in this battle. Although the accuracy of the catapult has always been criticized, and it is difficult to say whether it can hit the city wall or the people on the city wall, it can bring huge psychological pressure to the defenders, and one will be smashed into meat sauce if one is not careful, even if the probability is not large.

Onikura also ordered 100,000 yellow turbans to pile up mountains of earth 200 meters away from the county seat, and when the height of the mountains exceeded the city walls, they could suppress the archers on the city walls, and at the same time observe and monitor every move above. Although the county government also took out catapults to attack the yellow turbans that were piling up dirt mountains, they were originally used as cannon fodder, and they did not feel heartache if they died in battle. What's more, there are a lot of Yellow Turban elites and catapults arranged around, just waiting for the defenders to go out, so that the defenders can give up the advantages of the city wall to fight, which is a great opportunity for the Yellow Turban Army.

"When tomorrow dawn comes, it will be time to besiege the city on all sides." Onikura stood on a hill, looking out at the city in front of him, as if it had been planted with their flags.

"Alliance leader, the undercover agent of the Celestial Elephant Guild sent information, saying that the people of the Celestial Elephant Guild had gathered 100,000 players and set off from Celestial Elephant Town early yesterday morning and rushed here, seemingly wanting to support the county seat." Someone said.

"Reinforcements? How long will it take for them to get here? Onikura frowned slightly and asked.

"It won't arrive until tomorrow at the earliest, if we capture the county tomorrow, then it will be useless for them to rush over to support, and it may even be intercepted by our troops." The man was sure.

"It's only 100,000 people, and they're still players, so they don't have much power to affect us." As the leader of the Yellow Turban Alliance, Onicang was disdainful, but he was a very cautious person, and said, "Since Celestial Elephant Town is located in the southeast, then we will deploy a little more troops in the south of the city, just in case." ”

The others had no opinion on this, and in a battle of this magnitude, when the number of men could form a huge advantage, it was possible to launch a fierce attack on the other three walls at the same time, and the defenders could not take care of each other, or they could secretly send troops to storm one wall and take a section of the wall by surprise.

Here, the Yellow Turban Alliance did not adopt the method of encircling three and missing one, because they felt that the chances of the imperial court camp abandoning the city and leaving were not large, and in the field encounter, the Yellow Turban Army had a greater advantage, and the county order and the player forces would not choose to abandon the city unless it was a matter of life and death.

If this is the case, it is better to besiege the city from all sides at the beginning, and the defenders need to allocate their forces, and they cannot concentrate their forces to defend one place. And the soldiers besieging the city can move a lot, because the defenders can't know the truth and the truth, and then they will secretly mix a sixth- or seventh-order Yellow Turban elite into the cannon fodder of the previous waves, and if the effect is good, they can even occupy the city wall in one go. As long as the city wall can be attacked, there will be countless Yellow Turban troops climbing up immediately, and the county town will be in danger.
