Chapter 163: Hole Cards

The next morning, when there was an abnormal movement in the Yellow Turban Army, the officers and soldiers who had been paying attention to them had already received the news.

After investigation, the specific movements of the Yellow Turban Army were soon known, and the target seemed to be Xiangcheng, and the purpose could be known without asking.

For a while, the officials and troops were undecided, although the tone of rescue had been set, but when Liu Bei and others arrived outside Yingchuan City, they would contain the Yellow Turban Army from the side, which was obviously impossible now.

The strength of the official army in Yingchuan City was weaker than that of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, otherwise it would not have been forced to defend the city.

When they heard that the Yellow Turban Army had dispatched tens of millions of people, they had a new understanding of the strength of Liu Bei and others, these people seemed to be not weak, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would not have mobilized the people.

In fact, they had also received the news of Peng Tuo's defeat before, but first, they could not confirm the accuracy of the news, and second, they had not fought with Peng Tuo, so they were not too clear about his strength.

Therefore, they think that Liu Bei and the others are just an ordinary rebel army, and their strength should be ordinary.

Now Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun are more concerned about rescuing this rebel army, and if these people are added, their situation will be greatly improved.

It's a pity that the two don't have any good way, and they don't have any advantage when they go out of the city to fight.

"General, this is a good opportunity!" The middle-aged man reminded again.

Zhu Jun said: "Have you ever found out, how much strength does the Yellow Turban Thief have left?"

"The three 9th-order powerhouses are still in the camp, 3 of the 8th-order powerhouses have disappeared, and 6 of the 7th-order masters have disappeared." A strategist in charge of intelligence said.

I saw a ball of light in his hand, which contained three small dots of red, yellow, and green, the red one was the least, only three, the yellow one was the second, there were always nine, and the green one was the most, there were as many as 26.

This is one of his advisors' exclusive probing skills, and the light cluster shows the number and distribution of the strong people in the Yellow Turban Camp outside the city, red represents the 9th order powerhouse, yellow represents the 8th order strong, and green represents the 7th order master.

After putting away the light group, he continued: "According to the news from the scouts, the Yellow Turban Thieves dispatched about 100,000 elites this time."

Zhu Jun silently thought about it and said: "It is indeed a good opportunity, as long as we concentrate all our forces, we are expected to break the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves in one fell swoop, and they will be self-defeating when the time comes."

"But this will put Liu Bei and others in danger, which is against the virtue of a gentleman." Huangfu Song said tangledly.

The strategist arched his hand and said, "The general doesn't need to be like this, you need to know that you should do extraordinary things in extraordinary times." And we don't have a way to rescue us now, and it's not human's fault that we have more than enough strength to do so. ”

"If we can break the enemy's main tent, we can also get them to come back to help. As long as Liu Bei and the others can hold on until then, they can be regarded as rescued. ”

"That's all there is to it." Huangfu Song is not a pedantic person, so he said helplessly.

More than an hour later, all the officers and soldiers in the city, except for the hundreds of thousands left to defend the city wall, the rest poured out from the east gate where the main tent of the Yellow Turban Army was located.

With the transfer of so many people, a sneak attack was no longer possible, and the Yellow Turban Army immediately received the news.

At this time, it is necessary to compete which side moves faster, which the officers and soldiers are very confident in, not to mention taking the lead.

However, the Yellow Turbans did not panic, as if they had expected it, as confirmed by the fact that the two sides were evenly matched after the beginning of the fighting.

The advantage of the officers and soldiers is that the rank of the soldiers is basically one order higher than that of the Yellow Turban Army, and there are also three seventh-order strategists.

However, the Yellow Turbans stabilized the battle with the number of mid-level fighters, which is why the officers and soldiers are now trying to absorb the rebels.

The combat power of the rebel army is not as good as the elite of Bocai, and it may be cumbersome to collect it, but there are indeed many middle-level fighters among them.

Middle-level fighters are generally used as grass-roots commanders, and there are many middle-level generals in the official army, and there is also an 8th-order marshal, who can extravagantly use a 4th-order general as a thousand-tier or even a centurion, so the demand for middle-level fighters is much lower.

Moreover, mid-level fighters do not have much role in large battlefields, and may also disrupt the formation of soldiers.

Of course, anything that is large enough to a certain extent will cause qualitative change, and this is the case with the Yellow Turban Army now.

However, the 6th-order soldiers, who were commanded by the 8th-order marshal and then blessed by the 7th-order strategists, quickly tore apart the front of the Yellow Turban Army, which was where the confidence of the official army lies.

But the Yellow Turban Army was not without hole cards, and saw a huge dark cloud appear in the sky, covering nearly half of the people in front of the official army.

"Back off, back off!" Huangfu Song said eagerly.

Zhu Jun shook his head helplessly, although the officers and troops had already prepared, they would also suffer heavy losses.

There were nearly 200,000 officers and troops in front, all of them elite, and although they were very panicked, they still advanced and retreated, and they retreated more than 100 meters in just half a minute.

But a third of the people were still covered in dark clouds, and a dense burst of lightning fell from the dark clouds, and the light that penetrated the sky made people close their eyes.

When he opened his eyes, the dark clouds had disappeared, but the only people who could stand under the dark clouds before were soldiers of rank 6 and fighters above rank 5.

It can be seen that the Warrior's hidden spell resistance seems to be much higher than that of the Soldier, because the Tier 5 Warrior has the same stats as the Soldier of the same tier, and the Soldier also has various bonuses.

This is the hole card of the Yellow Turban Army, the [Lightning Channeling Technique] spell made by the 9th Order Warlock, which seals the full force of the 9th Order Warlock using the [Lightning Channeling Technique], which is a bug at this stage.

When the soldiers of the 6th rank and above become the mainstream, it is another chicken rib, and the officers and soldiers have already tasted its power once, but there is nothing they can do under absolute strength.

No one knows how many of these talismans Bo Cai still has in his hands, but it can only make the officers and soldiers throw into the mouse, but it is not a reason to retreat.

After a short pause, the fighting between the two sides resumed, and the soldiers in the rear of the officers and troops immediately made up for it.

However, nearly a quarter of the main force was lost, and the two sides were evenly matched, but the situation was unfavorable to the officers and troops, because the number of the Yellow Turban Army would only increase.

Seeing this, Zhu Jun waved his big hand, and the Chinese army sounded the war drums, and a large force of cavalry appeared at the gate of the city, with tens of thousands of people.

This is a hole card of the official army, a total of 10,000 cavalry in the five schools of the Northern Army.

The cost of cavalry is very large, just a war horse is worth a few gold in the Central Plains, and the general cavalry is one person and two horses.

The daily expenses of cavalry are also very large, and the war horses need to eat fine food, so usually the cost of one cavalry is worth hundreds of ordinary soldiers.

With the current economic situation of the Han Dynasty, it is not easy to support these 10,000 cavalry.

So these cavalry are also treasures, and Zhu Jun is reluctant to take them out until the critical moment.
