Chapter 369: Chen Lin Begins to Show Strength
In response to Dong Zhuo's troops stationing troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, Yang Rui also temporarily docked the fleet on the north bank of the Yellow River in Mengjin, and also set up camp not far from the bank, and temporarily placed the iron guards, sailors, and archers to prevent the other party from crossing the river.
Although Dong Zhuo sent about hundreds of thousands of troops to recover the young emperor Liu Wei, but with the advantage of relying on Heyang County and waving iron guards to serve the city wall battle, Yang Rui was not too worried about the siege of the other party, and now the advantage of the fleet is obvious, Yang Rui is just trying to use it as much as possible, and earn meritorious deeds and points while the other party crosses the river again.
Sure enough, as Yang Rui expected, Dong Zhuo's camp rested for half a day, and after noon, he crossed the river several times tentatively, but each time he was intercepted halfway by Yang Rui's boat, and contributed a lot of merits, points, equipment, skill books and other items to Yang Rui, but it had no effect.
In the middle of the process, Yang Rui even had time to return to Heyang City, and mobilized Zhang Ning, Wu Anguo and Zhang Liao, leaving only Gao Shun to lead his troops to look for Dong Zhuo's camp forces to fight, and Chen Lin guarded the city in Heyang City.
Dong Zhuo's camp can mobilize so many troops to try to cross the river at one time, it should be led by a general, Yang Rui brought Wu Anguo and Zhang Liao to prepare to deal with the other generals, and Zhang Ning also brought over to prepare for possible opportunities, so that he could put a fire at that time.
After several attempts to return in vain, Dong Zhuo's camp lost 3ooo soldiers and a large number of various ships, and the merit value and point value sent to Yang Rui were close to 10,000 points, regardless of the rest of the skill books, equipment and other items. Dong Zhuo's camp also seemed to realize the uselessness of this temptation, and gradually stopped moving.
Yang Rui did not wait for the other party's initiative to attack, and also tried to send Ge boats to the south bank of the Yellow River to attack the ships of Dong Zhuo's camp, and also brought Zhang Ning with a transport ship. Almost all of Dong Zhuo's various ships were piled together. I can't say that one fire can solve it all.
However, before Yang Rui's ship approached the ships of Dong Zhuo's camp, it was stopped by the archers arranged on the shore of the other side, and the soldiers on the ship were afraid that they would lose something, so Yang Rui asked Zhang Ning to set fire to it and returned with all the ships.
Zhang Ning's cast range is longer than that of the archers. The ships of Dong Zhuo's camp are also very concentrated. It's just that Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill covers a relatively wide river surface, and after the skill is cast, the opponent's ships scatter and flee after a period of panic. The loss is only a small part.
Rao is like this, Zhang Ning's fire also brought Yang Rui twenty or thirty thousand merit points and points value, which shows that although the ships he lost seem to account for a small proportion of the ships of Dong Zhuo's camp, the absolute number is also quite a lot.
After being hit by a fire. Dong Zhuo's troops were more cautious, and the ships did not dare to continue to concentrate together, but spread along the south bank of the Yellow River, lest they be attacked again, but they didn't know that the cooldown time of Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill was as long as 3 hours, and Dong Zhuo's troops were too worried.
It wasn't until night came that Dong Zhuo's camp made another move. Perhaps it was inspired after Zhang Ningtian's spiritual fire rain, Dong Zhuo's troops also learned to be obedient this time, and still put the boat away, stretching for more than ten miles and starting to cross the river at the same time.
And so it goes. Yang Rui's only 100 Ge boats can no longer fully intercept Dong Zhuo's troops crossing the river, and even other small clippers and small transport ships other than Ge boats may be affected, so Yang Rui ordered these boats to go downstream along the current flow as soon as possible after the actions of Dong Zhuo's troops.
Even Yang Rui evacuated all the troops on the shore in advance, and ordered Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo to move in the direction of Heyang City with their soldiers in advance. It is a foregone conclusion that Dong Zhuo's troops will be able to cross the river, and when they face dozens of times the number of troops on their own, Yang Rui's troops will definitely suffer.
If Gao Shun, Zhang Liao and others' special troops are cultivated, they may still be able to face so many enemies head-on, but after the opening of the characteristic arms of historical generals, Yang Rui only learned that Gao Shun's characteristic troops are "trapped in the camp", and they have not had time to train, Zhang Ning's special troops show an inactive state, and Yang Rui still has no understanding of the attributes of Zhang Liao and others' special troops!
Dong Zhuo's troops crossed the river as Yang Rui expected, although in the process Yang Rui's Ge boat killed a large number of Dong Zhuo's camp soldiers, but because the opponent's battle line was very long, 1oo Ge ships could not block Dong Zhuo's thousands of ships of all colors at all, after the first quarter of an hour, 6 soldiers had already landed on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Yang Rui ordered a hundred ships to shuttle among Dong Zhuo's large number of ships to attack and kill freely, while he himself rode the Dao Feng away from the main battlefield, observing the shape on the river, and also thinking about the next way to deal with it.
After so many Dong Zhuo's troops crossed the river, Yang Rui could only rely on the city to resist, so it was inevitable that he would be besieged by a large number of soldiers in a short time. Thinking of this, Yang Rui ordered the 1oo small transport ships and 1oo small clippers that had just returned from transporting troops to go down the river first, preparing to continue transporting troops.
At present, there are more than 29ooo people in Yang Rui's troops in the territory of Hanoi County, and it should not be a big problem to be able to hold Heyang City, but it is not too realistic to quickly destroy the opponent, the number of soldiers on the other side is there, after this day's observation, Yang Ruixian's previous estimate is likely to be less, the number of Dong Zhuo's troops should be no less than 4o people, and the ratio of the offensive and defensive sides will be more than 1o:1!
And defending the city also involves a problem of grain and grass, after Yang Rui's rough estimate, Yang Rui previously transported the grain and grass to the west of the Tiger Prison Pass plus the four raids on the territory, at present, all the grain and grass in Heyang City is only enough for the soldiers to consume half a month and twenty days, Yang Rui and the other party stalemate time should not exceed this time limit.
Therefore, Yang Rui will continue to order the fleet to go downstream to transfer troops, and when the newly transferred soldiers and horses arrive, it can be used as a peripheral travel note, and with the guards in the city to attack from both sides, the efficiency of brushing merit points and points can also be higher.
It took about half an hour for Dong Zhuo's troops to reach the north bank from the south bank of the Yellow River, this time the other party should have given the death order from the other party's generals, no matter how Yang Rui's Ge boat attacked, there was no trace of escape from the other ferries around, even if the attacked ferries were also desperate and did not cause chaos to other ships.
In this way, Dong Zhuo's losses of various ferries have been greatly reduced, and if 1oo ships attack within half an hour, he only lost thousands of soldiers and thousands of boats, which can be seen from Yang Rui's contribution value and integral value, Yang Rui's income before and after is only 250,000 points.
After Dong Zhuo's troops completely crossed the Yellow River, the soldiers on the boat went ashore and gathered for a while and then all entered the direction of Heyang City, and all the various ferries were no longer protected by long-range archers as they were on the south bank of the Yellow River before.
Although these ferries are also messy, they have the lessons of the first attack, when most of the ferries chose the direction of upstream or downstream to escape, and the direction was relatively consistent, so there were many fewer scenes like the first time when the various ferries collided with each other.
In fact, there is also a point thanks to Yang Rui's dispatch of the Ge boat, almost at the same time that Dong Zhuo's troops rushed to Heyang City, Yang Rui also gathered the Ge boat, so that the Ge boat basically disconnected from the various ferries, which gave the other party some time to escape.
The reason why Yang Rui gathered the Ge boat was of course to ask him to chase and escort the small transport ships and small clippers that left first, and the degree of the Ge boat was higher than that of small transport ships and small clippers. And along the way, you can also piggyback on the ferries that attacked and killed a lot of Dong Zhuo, and the ships that fled downstream still accounted for the majority of the other party's ships.
After arranging the fleet, Yang Rui drove the Daofeng Flying Carpet to Heyang County, and did not catch up with Zhang Ning, Zhang Liao, Wu Anguo and others along the way.
After Yang Rui returned, Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, and Wu Anguo were each assigned one side of the city gate and city wall to guard, Zhang Ning was responsible for the direction of the south gate, Gao Shun was responsible for the direction of the west gate, Zhang Liao was responsible for the direction of the east gate, and Wu Anguo was responsible for the direction of the north gate. All kinds of iron guards, warriors, archers, etc., were evenly placed on all sections of the city wall by Yang Rui.
The reason why Zhang Ning was placed on the side of the south gate closest to the Yellow River was because Dong Zhuo's troops came from the south, and their main camp was likely to be located on the south side, so the troops attacking the city in the direction of the south gate were likely to be more, and Yang Rui wanted to use the power of Zhang Ning's Heavenly Spirit Fire Rain skill to kill and injure the enemy in a large area.
At the same time, Yang Rui arranged for Chen Lin to be responsible for the central strategy, and only gave him 1ooo troops, responsible for delivering the news of each section of the city wall, and at the same time tried to mobilize some NPC people to get up and collect and carry some rolling stones and wood. Yang Rui's long-range archer soldiers are really limited, and he needs some other means to assist in defending the city.
"Dong Zhuo was a wolf, causing chaos in the government, and seized the land of the six western counties of Hanoi when Wang Kuang was too far away, and the civilians were tragically destroyed; Now Dong Zhuoxing's soldiers are here again, vainly trying to be a righteous army, and I also ask all the villagers to help one or two"
Yang Rui didn't have much hope for the NPC people, but after Chen Lin's words, the people within a kilometer radius around him responded one after another, which greatly surprised Yang Rui.
is also an ordinary sentence, put it in Chen Lin's mouth, and the effect is incomparably good! Soon Yang Rui also understood, seeing that there was a layer of light red skill light and shadow effect around Chen Lin's body, but it turned out that Chen Lin was using his skills!
