Chapter 180: Zhang Jiao's Great Move
After the officers and soldiers were ready, the war drums took the lead in sounding, and the earth-shattering drums resounded throughout the entire Guangzong City for hundreds of kilometers.
This time, instead of letting the player act as cannon fodder in front, the NPC army directly acted as the vanguard, and there was a great determination to contribute to the battle.
Because the daily attrition of the army was huge, the war that lasted for more than a year had made it difficult for the weakened Han Dynasty to continue.
Moreover, the continuous war also made Emperor Ling of Han feel more and more threatened, and he had urged Dong Zhuo several times to end the war as soon as possible.
However, Dong Zhuo has always had no way to take Zhang Jiao, who has the advantage of the city, and now the arrival of Yu Linwei has given him hope.
He also urgently needs to prove his ability, after all, he does not have a strong family background, and can only rely on military merit to get promoted.
Dong Zhuo is also from a poor family, he does not have strong connections, and he does not have strong subordinates now, so he has no intention of rebelling now.
After the war drums sounded, catapults were pushed out from the rear, and there were thousands of them.
The catapult, which was more than three meters high, was like a monstrous beast, throwing huge stones several meters in diameter towards the city walls.
The whistling sound was like a fatal note, and the boulder falling on the wall of the Yellow Turban would smash the target into a pulp, and it would not even be time to let out a scream.
Gwangjong Castle is a county town, and the walls are so strong that even the full attack of a 7th-order master cannot leave any traces.
However, he was smashed into shallow holes by the boulders that fell on the city wall, and this kind of attack may require at least an 8th-order powerhouse to be able to resist it head-on.
However, the Yellow Turban Army has been fighting with the official army for so long, and it is clear that they already have a way to deal with it.
Every archer, pikeman, or swordman is protected by a shield guard in front of him, so that although the shield guard cannot withstand the attack of the boulder, it can also win the opportunity for those behind him to escape.
Despite the threat of catapults, there are many Yellow Turbans on the city walls, as they have to face the next enemy.
Among the officers and soldiers, the siege ladders were escorted to the city wall by the shield guards in the dense rain of arrows, and the ladders were erected on the city wall, and the vanguard soldiers in the rear began to risk death to climb the city wall by the ladders.
One by one, the wells were pushed to within a hundred meters of the city wall, and the archers above began to shoot at the Yellow Turbans on the city wall.
Everything started as before, and the result was no different.
More than half an hour later, with the assistance of catapults, the Yellow Turban Army's battle losses were greater than those of the official army, but the officers and soldiers did not have any excitement.
Because firstly, the stones used in catapults need a large number of people to be mined, and the number of stones used in catapults is still limited after being prepared for so long, and secondly, the loss of catapults is very large, and a new catapult will be scrapped after being used dozens of times.
The manufacturing cost of catapults is very high, not only does it consume a lot of manpower, but it also requires the use of precious wood in the manufacture of it, so there are only about 1,000 of them in the official army.
Therefore, after a certain number of uses, catapults have to be stopped and repaired, and no one is willing to let them be used until they are scrapped.
Although the current situation is expected, it is still a little disappointing for the officers and soldiers.
After some deliberation, it was decided that the pre-battle plan should still be used, and all the Yulin Guards appeared at the front of the battlefield.
In the absence of a choice, the official army made a bloody investment and decided to let Yu Linwei be the vanguard.
You must know that the army that is the vanguard during the siege is generally cannon fodder, and the battle damage will be very huge.
Few people would let the elite bear such a senseless loss, which shows the determination of the official army to attack the city this time.
The strength of the other soldiers was comparable to that of the Yellow Turban Army, and they were unable to gain a firm foothold on the city walls for a long time, and only Yu Linwei had any hope of fighting.
Yu Linwei is capable of both spear and archery, and the main force of the battlefield should have been suppressed in the Chinese army, but this time he became a pioneer because of his superior strength.
Yu Linwei did not insult their prestige, and he performed much better than the other soldiers when climbing the ladder.
Not only is it faster, but it seems to be more skilled than a trained soldier, making up for the huge gap in experience with great strength.
And their sharper instincts allowed them to dodge more arrows from the archers on the walls, and the battle damage was immediately reduced.
After climbing the city wall, each soldier of the Yulin Guard was able to resist the attacks of a dozen people at the same time, and quickly gained a firm foothold.
Seeing this, the Yellow Turban Army will definitely not sit idly by, otherwise let more and more Yulin guards climb the city wall, and soon they will lose the advantage of the city wall and start hand-to-hand combat with the official army on the city wall, which is obviously not good for them.
Soon a large number of strong men appeared in the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall, trying to drive all Yu Linwei off the city wall.
The officers and soldiers obviously expected it, because immediately after that, a group of strong men climbed the city wall, and the strong men of both sides fought fiercely on the city wall.
There are many powerful warlocks in the Yellow Turban Army, but now they dare not wantonly release their group skills, this kind of battle on their own city walls is even more unfavorable for them, and for a time the strong ones are completely dragged down by the official army.
Yu Linwei, who had no one to target, quickly seized a piece of ground on the city wall, and the situation was just as the official army had predicted before the battle.
Dong Zhuo was very excited, and only waited for all the Yulin guards to climb the city wall before leading people to attack the city gate.
If it weren't for Yu Linwei's containment on the city wall, the army would not dare to approach the city wall, because not only would they have to face the archers of the Yellow Turban Army, but also rolling stones, wood, and even fire oil would fall on the city wall, and many people would be devoured.
Obviously, it was not yet time, and there were still many Yellow Turban soldiers on the city walls who had not been dragged into battle, but he had already seen hope of victory.
But will the Yellow Turbans really be captured? And is the Yellow Turban Army really only having this strength?
Obviously, because Zhang Jiao rarely participated in battles before, and was generally commanded by his two brothers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, the officers and troops completely ignored Zhang Jiao's strength.
Zhu Jun has seen the power of magic runes, and has always been very wary of Zhang Jiao, because the person who can create such a powerful magic rune must be unusual, and he has reminded Dong Zhuo several times.
However, in the face of the prospect of imminent victory, he also excitedly forgot about this stubble for the time being, and the significance of this victory was extraordinary, and he would surely be recorded in history.
Suddenly, everyone on the battlefield felt that the sky was getting dark, Zhu Jun looked up and said loudly: "Not good!"
I saw a huge dark cloud appear over the battlefield, covering the entire city wall and the hundreds of meters in front, an area so large that it could be seen several kilometers away.
Some players in the rear of the officers and soldiers also saw it and immediately shouted excitedly.
"Damn, which fellow Daoist is in the tribulation?"
"It can't be Zhang Jiao's tragedy, right?"
"Crossing a yarn, it must be Zhang Jiao opening up."
", how can there be such a strong person in the game? Unless Zhang Jiao becomes an immortal. ”
This time, it was obviously different from the magic talisman used by the wave, and the speed was much faster, and after more than ten seconds, as the dark clouds formed, Zhu Jun's heart sank.
