Volume 2 The Yellow Turban Falls into Chaos Chapter 31 The Battle of Wanghai Defense
For more than two hours, under the cover of night, Xu Yang had successfully occupied this town called Wanghai and successfully released 5,000 sword guards. This was also the first time that Xu Yang had released them as individual soldiers since he had possessed the Sword Guard.
"Zhou Tai, send a signal to the navy, let them put down the Overlord Iron Cavalry and return along the same road, there should be a lot of small towns near Haiyan County that we need to help manage, go to Mingyue City to transport some city guards to take over!" Looking at the town called Wanghai, which had fallen into his hands, Xu Yang ordered Zhou Tai.
Shout!
A ringing arrow rushed into the sky, and Zhou Tai took the original ten sailors to the shore to wait for the fleet to approach. Zhou Tai explained the work behind to Jiang Qin, and after putting down the Overlord Iron Cavalry troops, the entire fleet began to return to Mingyue City under the command of Jiang Qin. As for Zhou Tai, he was named by Xu Yang to stay, and the battle in Haiyan County is still continuing, and leaving an extra military general by his side at this time will definitely play an unexpected role.
After the Overlord Iron Cavalry of Bright Moon City landed, he entered Wanghai Town for repairs. Seasickness is not a big deal, but it will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops at a critical moment. Once the combat effectiveness is affected, then what you have to pay on the battlefield is the price of your life, so Xu Yang must confirm that every soldier of the Overlord Iron Cavalry is in the best condition, not that dizzy.
"Lord, I don't think the Overlord Iron Cavalry needs to be repaired, what we need is war! Only the real battlefield iron and blood can create a team that cannot be defeated or dragged down! Xiang Hu suggested to Xu Yang with righteous words on the side.
Regarding Xiang Hu's suggestion, Xu Yang just smiled helplessly and said: "I need an army that can fight bravely and fearlessly, and I also need soldiers who dare to shed blood and sacrifice." But I don't need my soldiers to rush to the front line blindly and make unnecessary sacrifices, you know? ”
Fearless? Or is it pointless? These two words have the same pronunciation, but they have diametrically opposite meanings. The iron and blood of a unit on the battlefield has to be honed through many battles, but when you know that you are not in a good state, you have to be tough, and you can rest well, this is a senseless sacrifice.
Xiang Hu, who was thoughtful, nodded slowly, and decided to go back and think seriously about what the lord had just said. At this time, Xu Yang added: "Those strangers who just ran away are estimated to counterattack soon, and there is not much time left for you to rest." Let every soldier hurry up and repair, and come to Haiyan County, this battle is fought by you! ”
As soon as he heard that there was going to be a fight, Xiang Hu, who was originally sullen, suddenly became happy and left happily!
Sure enough, as Xu Yang expected, the Seven Wings Covering the Sky Force organized a counterattack in a very short period of time. However, the players who guarded Wanghai Town before were directly killed without knowing much about the combat effectiveness of Xu Yang's army, which led to the fact that the battle organized by the Seven Wings Covering the Sky this time did not have any intensity, or it was just that the players in the six towns in April and Friday gathered together and began to counterattack!
Facing the players who only had fourth-order and fifth-order strength soldiers, combined with the sixth-order soldiers who were called elites, and the sharp knife troops who were led by three special generals, Xu Yang helplessly glanced at Zhou Tai and Han Mengxing behind him.
There was also a helpless look in the eyes of the two, and Zhou Tai, who couldn't hold back first, said: "Lord, if the enemy is only to this extent, then the subordinates will go to sleep first." None of these people are likely to be able to inflict effective damage on our first line of defense......"
Han Mengxing, who didn't speak on the side, obviously meant the same thing, after all, the sword guard was originally suitable for town warfare or street fighting, and when Han Mengxing was configuring the defense line just now, he also placed 300 sword guards of the ninth order and a third rank of the ninth order in the first line of defense, and 30 centurions of the ninth order and three ranks. And the ninth-order first-grade sword guards already have the strength of super-grade generals, and with the more advanced part of the ninth-order third-grade super-level generals, looking at the enemy's sharp knife team composed of only three super-grade generals, they really have no intention of making a move.
"Hey...... Let the first line of defense slow down the enemy as much as possible! However, there is one principle, that is, our people's lives are important, and if their lives are in danger, they can let go of the killing! Xu Yang said in the end, he deliberately emphasized the combat plan with self-preservation as the premise.
There is no way to do this, and there are only 5,000 Sword Guards at the moment. But in Xu Yang's opinion, the configuration of these 5,000 people is more fierce than a team of tens of thousands of people. Not to mention that the Sword Guards each have the special weapon skills of the Sword Ten Kills, just the combat power that erupts during melee combat, and the number of attack paths that make the enemy unpredictable between the sword coordination, these combat skills are vividly demonstrated in every Sword Guard.
The method of giving the order was simple, that is, Chill Dream Star fired a yellow arrow according to the signal flare that had been set up earlier. In the first defensive line ahead, a total of 1,500 sword guards put away the swords behind their backs, picked up a spear placed on the ground, and killed the seven-winged sky-covering player who was charging.
Well, those spears that were placed on the ground were also prepared by Xu Yang before. This situation is also within Xu Yang's expectations, after all, there will inevitably be some tentative attacks on the sudden enemy, and Xu Yang also plays a good role in hiding the clumsy characteristic.
Jingle Bell!
The movement of metal weapons colliding and intertwining into a battlefield is very large compared to the team of only 1,500 people on the side of Bright Moon City. There are still two hours before dawn, but players are holding torches every other time, and you can clearly see the long line of players, not to mention tens of thousands. This is the power of the Grand Guild, even the number of peripheral players who are arranged to defend in the rear is very terrifying.
Of course, this number of attacking teams is not all players, as each player can also carry a large number of soldiers or NPC generals. But this is only the guard force of a few surrounding towns, and it can also be seen that the gap between the big guild and the scattered players is not incalculable.
However, the huge team of players collided with the 1,500-strong Sword Guards, and the situation that should have been directly crushed did not happen. The team of 1,500 people can be said to form a circle, and all the enemies who are close to the circle are attracted to this circle, and the players behind want to completely surround this circle, giving the players behind the possibility to continue to advance.
But a strange scene happened, the soldiers with seven wings covering the sky wanted to surround the soldiers in the circle array, obviously the combat effectiveness shown by the other party was not very strong, but there was always a place in this circle that could not be encircled. The place is not fixed, sometimes in the front, sometimes on the side, as long as they want to break through the defense of this team, there will be such a gap, and then this circle will deform and generally entangle the enemy who has bypassed them, leaving no one behind.
This scene is very weird, this soldier with a spear and something behind his back is obviously not so brave, but he did not let any enemy pass. And no matter what kind of bag and siege are used on the side of the Seven Wings to cover the sky, it is often in vain! There are even some peculiar lure plans for the enemy, as if they know their purpose, and attack slowly and without any disregard.
"Are these enemies hob-cutters?" From afar, a player leader who watched the players continue to attack, but could not advance a single inch, couldn't help frowning.
He was accompanied by several player leaders, all of whom were outlying player leaders who had been left behind to guard the nearby towns. And the strength of these people can go to some small guilds to do a good position, but they still choose to stay in the seven wings to cover the sky - after all, it is good to enjoy the shade under the big tree.
The only female player on the team also spoke after observing for a long time, "I feel that this unit is a bit special, maybe even a special class. One of the three special-grade generals we lined up before has been wounded, and there is obviously no military general in this enemy squad, I am afraid that such a unit should be a special class composed of eighth-order soldiers! ”
"A special class of eighth-order soldiers? Shirley, are you sure you're not kidding? These soldiers would be able to stop us even if they were only Rank 8 soldiers, why are you so sure that they are a special class? Yuan (the name), who spoke at the beginning, asked in disbelief.
Several other players also showed questioning expressions, they often act together, and they are both peripheral player leaders of the Seven Wings Covering the Sky, and they are familiar with each other. If those words were said by someone else, then almost no one would believe them, but when these words came from Shirley's mouth, they naturally believed a little more.
The woman named Shirley was a twenty-five or sixteen-year-old girl, with big eyes, and an extremely hot body, just the two lumps on her chest...... It already makes people breathe faster. Of course, none of this matters, the most shocking thing is that this is a half-race, blonde half-breed!
In response to everyone's questions, Shirley took a torch not far away, then extinguished it directly, pointed to the troop and said, "You see, the enemy force is only 1,500 men. It has been since they rushed out, because it was too dark, and I think even if the enemy had attrition, it would not exceed a single digit, which shows that their strength is very high. And it looks like this force has been swallowed up by our army, but it is more like it is deliberately slowing down and holding back our soldiers, who have not let any of our soldiers cross their lines until now. ”
Hearing this, everyone nodded silently, including Yuan who spoke at the beginning. Ordinary eighth-order troops, it is absolutely impossible to do this without the command of military generals, and there is obviously no military general in this army, which shows that this army has extremely strong individual combat ability, and it also confirms Shirley's guess from the side.
Seeing that everyone digested it, Shirley continued: "Extinguish all the torches around us, you look carefully. The armor of this unit was so well armoured that it didn't even have any reflections. And I just saw clearly that behind them, each of them had a pair of swords on their backs. Looking at the spears they use to attack, they are often jerky skills, so it is not difficult to speculate that the real weapon of this army is not the spears they use, but the swords they carry......"
Hiss!
Hearing this, everyone also faintly saw that this army was really carrying something behind it, and players with special items also confirmed Shirley's conjecture just now - these troops really didn't use the weapons they were best at! What kind of force is this? He didn't use the weapons of his own class, and in the face of the tide of soldiers, even if they were cannon fodder, he didn't spare any soldiers, and he only suffered a very small loss. Admittedly, they would not have known that the force in front of them had only suffered a few minor injuries in the battle so far.
"Old Yuan, do you want to send the elite up?" A rugged man asked.
Yuan has always been the brainchild in their small group, while Shirley is better at analyzing the battle, and after understanding the strength of the enemy, the group quickly knows that the team in front of them is already very difficult to deal with.
After thinking for a while, Yuan said, "Those players who died didn't bring us any useful information, and it's not good for us to be at night now. If the enemy's army only has 1,500 men, we can still gamble, but if there are other arrangements in this Wanghai Town, we can only continue to fight with oil filling tactics! I propose to abandon part of the troops, retreat immediately, and report back to the top about our situation here! ”
Shirley said, "I agree. ”
Rugged man: "Okay, I agree with ...... too"
"I agree with ...... too"
Yuan's analysis was agreed by everyone, after all, they were just peripheral players with seven wings covering the sky. The situation in front of them was clearly beyond their range, and no one thought that the force that would be able to sneak up on Wanghai Town and kill all the defenders silently would only have 1,500 men. So how many troops does the enemy still have? Will they rush forward at this time to attract more troops from the enemy, and when the time comes, they will lose the garrison town and lose the troops in their hands, which is called empty of men and money.
Jingle Bell ......
In the dim darkness of the night, a clear sound of gold suddenly sounded behind the wings that covered the sky. Regulations on the battlefield, drum marching to Mingjin to collect troops! The enemy, who was constantly besieging the sword guards, began to retreat in an orderly manner, and even some troops were directly ordered to stay and lose their lives. I have to say that although it is the periphery of the Grand Guild, these players directly chose to die in battle after receiving the order and the corresponding treatment - because this reward is really something they can't refuse, and once they refuse, they will lose the support of the union......
Xu Yang in Wanghai Town looked at the Yellow Turban players who were evacuating, and couldn't help but praise the commander in his heart. I have tried my best to keep the sword guard combat low-key, but gold really shines everywhere, especially in the face of such a disparity in strength, it really can't be covered by no matter how much it is covered.
"Order the second echelon to catch up properly and return in half an hour!" Xu Yang looked at the retreating Yellow Turban player, and a smug smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Because tonight, his Wanghai Town should not suffer any more attacks, and when it comes to daylight tomorrow, Xu Yang will not continue to cower here!
The order was given by Han Mengxing, but as before, Zhou Tai and Han Mengxing did not go to this kind of thing in person. Chasing these soldiers who are only up to the sixth order? Well, the arrogance in them really didn't want them to take that step. Although these enemies seem to them to be anti-thieves and more life-and-death fighting beings on the battlefield, these people are really ...... It's too weak, and they don't have the desire to pursue it......
The Yellow Turbans, who came and went quickly, launched a surprise attack and showed a decisive retreat technique before returning the tranquility to the night. And Xu Yang and the others were also ready to rest after arranging the patrol team, and even before resting, Xu Yang also ordered that if there was no enemy attack tomorrow, the whole army would sleep until three poles in the morning!
This seemingly random decision was made by Xu Yang after weighing it. What he has to do now is to attract the Yellow Turban players near Haiyan County now, and it would be nice if he could attract some NPCs. After all, it's significantly more efficient to do so than to run back and forth from place to place.
As for the enemy sneak attack? They have to have this ability, among the soldiers who were assigned to patrol by the Sword Guard, Xu Yang deliberately assigned a thousand-commander of ninth-order items in each of the three directions. Even if the enemy sent a king-level martial artist to sneak attack, Xu Yang felt that he could wash up slowly before facing the battle.
A king-level general? For the current players, it is still said that there is still some distance, unless it is the main force of the Seven Wings Covering the Sky who can directly parachute into the air and break their wrists with themselves, but the Seven Wings Covering the Sky should be busy looting supplies behind the Yellow Turban Army, and they will definitely not come to deal with Xu Yang.
And at this moment, in the Yellow Turban Camp besieging Shouchun, the Yangzhou Governance Office, looking at the sand table in front of him, all the four heavenly kings of the Lingxiao Treasure Hall gathered here. And this time their wide-eyed Heavenly King got the right to be a big canal marshal through the mission, in the case of the Yellow Turban, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, they naturally choose to besiege the Yangzhou County without fear, once Shouchun City is broken, it will be countless wealth in front of them.
At this moment, the map in front of the four people shows the whole of Yangzhou, and there is a location that is circled by a huge red circle, and that location is Lou County and the northeast generation.
"I really can't figure it out, what method did this Starfire Moonlight use to make the entire Yellow Turban not attack their Bright Moon City!" The Heavenly King of the Holding Kingdom put his hands on his waist and said a little depressed.
The other three Heavenly Kings in the room also showed a helpless expression, and the women among them asked the Heavenly King helplessly: "I said Zhiguo, you have the strength to be jealous, it is better to focus on attacking the city!" When we have accumulated enough strength through the yellow scarf, then the little spark moonlight is not how we can pinch it! ”
"Humph! After dawn, I rushed with the Yellow Turban Lux and gave me three of those talismans, and I promised to take Shouchun City! After hearing this, the king of the kingdom left such a sentence and went to prepare for the siege of the city.
For this scene, the other three Heavenly Kings glanced at each other, and they all showed helpless expressions......
