Chapter 222: Recovering the Great City
PS: Thank you for the support of the white black sheep and round meat tuantuan!
There were not many Yellow Turban soldiers in the inner city of Xindu City, and they were soon basically controlled by Yang Rui.
"Let go of this king! I am Liu Xu, the king of Anping! Hugh is rude! β
Anping Kingdom was originally a county-level feudal country, and Xindu City, as the seat of Anping State, is not small! However, Yang Rui searched again, but only found a fifty or sixty-year-old Yellow Turban leader from the county king's mansion, who was shouting at this time to let Yang Rui let him go!
Listening to the content of his shouting, Yang Rui also roughly understood what was going on, it turned out that the person he captured was the King of Anping who was personally crowned by the Han royal family - Liu Xu! As the first county to fall into the hands of the Yellow Turban, Anping Kingdom was captured by the Yellow Turban early in the morning, but it still appeared here at this time, which can only show that this person has joined the Yellow Turban camp!
And Liu Xu's bright anti-camp color also illustrates this point! Rao is no matter how he makes a fuss, Yang Rui is not ready to let him go!
"Hugh is going to make trouble again! If you are not the king of Anping, then it is fine, if you are really the king of Anping, you should ask for it! First of all, the crime of defecting to the enemy is enough to be punished by death! β
"It's really not King Anping under him, it's just nonsense!"
After Yang Rui said a few words of intimidation, Liu Xu obediently closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more.
In fact, whether this person is the king of Anping or not has a great impact on Yang Rui, what Yang Rui needs to do at this time is how to effectively defend the inner city of Sanfu in the capital of Xin! So Yang Rui only threatened a few words, and then stuffed Liu Xu, the king of Anping, into the small Qiankun bag, ready to chat with him when he had free time!
After Liu Xu, the king of Anping, was caught. Yang Rui ordered a group of soldiers to quickly split up to exterminate the remaining Yellow Turban soldiers in the Three Mansions. Originally, these Yellow Turban soldiers were all around the 3rd rank. Naturally, it was quickly cleaned up! At the same time, Yang Rui also conveniently placed all the many maids and subordinates in the inner city into the Najie, the identity of these people is not the Yellow Turban camp but the neutral camp, and in the end, they can inevitably belong to Yang Rui!
The personnel in the inner city dealt with it clearly, Yang Rui let 1,500 fourth-order cavalry patrol around and maintain order, and then arranged more than 1,600 fourth-order archers to the inner city gate and city wall, and all the rest of the melee foot soldiers, including all the junior generals, were also divided into various city walls by Yang Rui.
It was only at this time that Yang Rui felt for the first time that the troops he brought to participate in the plot were still a little less! Although Yang Rui only had to defend the inner city within a radius of several miles. But the hands are still very tight!
The counterattack of the Yellow Turbans in the city came soon, almost Yang Rui had just dealt with the affairs of the inner city of Sanfu, these Yellow Turban soldiers had been organized, rushed to the surroundings of the inner city, completely surrounded Yang Rui and others, and soon began to attack!
There are more than 20,000 Yellow Turban soldiers besieging Yang Rui, and the number is still increasing, and Yang Rui is only four or five thousand people when he is full, and the gap in number is not small! However, after the Yellow Turbans launched the siege, it did not work immediately. Yang Rui's soldiers are by no means vegetarians!
Yang Rui's Rank 4 long-range archers on the city wall poured arrows on the heads of the Yellow Turban soldiers besieging the city almost constantly, often reducing a large percentage of the Yellow Turban soldiers before they even approached the city wall! Again. The Yellow Turban soldiers barely had many specialized siege equipment, and it was difficult to climb the city walls!
Even if some Yellow Turban soldiers are lucky enough to climb the city wall, Yang Rui still has many junior generals on the wall, and each junior general is responsible for defending a section of the city wall, plus the cooperation of the 4th level foot soldiers, it is difficult for the Yellow Turban soldiers to gain a foothold for a while!
Therefore, although there are a lot of Yellow Turban soldiers who come to attack the city, there are not many who can create an effective threat! Seeing this, Yang Rui ordered a group of junior generals to guard the city gate and the city wall attentively, and he got down the city wall and headed towards the treasury of the three mansions!
Yang Rui once got the sweetness in the treasury of Nanyang City, and he put his primary goal on the treasury of Xindu City! In the process of cleaning up the remnants of the yellow scarf, some soldiers had discovered the location of the treasury and informed Yang Rui, so at this time, under the leadership of the soldiers, it was also a familiar road, and they soon came to the treasury of the palace of Xindu City.
However, the inventory in the treasury made Yang Rui a little disappointed! Especially in terms of money, there are no piles of gold bricks that Yang Rui thought, only a few boxes of gold coins that have been counted clearly, and the total amount is only about 20,000 gold, which is a bit shabby compared to the harvest in the Nanyang Mansion treasury!
The various types of equipment stored in the treasury are much richer than those in the treasury of Nanyang City, and the quality has also improved a lot. However, Yang Rui did not immediately take away these equipment, but only put away a few boxes of gold coins, and then returned to the city wall to participate in the defense of the inner city!
This lasted until the evening, and the Yellow Turban siege soldiers outside the inner city were maintained at the scale of twenty or thirty thousand people, except for the fact that they had formed some threats to the south gate with a crash in the middle, there was basically nothing else to do!
Speaking of which, there is also the credit of Liu Xu, the king of Anping! If he hadn't built the inner city very strongly, the walls and gates were of a high level, and all kinds of facilities were available, otherwise it might have been much more difficult to defend!
When the night was thick, the Yellow Turban soldiers attacking the city outside the inner city finally stopped temporarily, leaving a small number of men to monitor the inner city and guard the four intersections that infested the inner city, and most of the Yellow Turbans dispersed and went to rest.
Yang Rui naturally won't let go of the opportunity at night, since he got Li Dong and a group of Rank 5 thief leaders, Yang Rui has regarded the night as his home for a long time, and almost every chance he has the opportunity to attack and kill, earning a lot of merit and points for Yang Rui! Now most of the Yellow Turbans have retreated, leaving only a small part to keep an eye at the intersections, which is a good opportunity for Yang Rui!
So after the night, Yang Rui first sent Li Dong with all the fifth-order thief leaders to clean up the Yellow Turban sergeants who were watching! After that, Yang Rui and a group of junior generals also went out of the inner city, and led the leader of the thieves to attack and kill the Yellow Turban soldiers in various places in the Xindu City. In one night, the total number of Yellow Turban soldiers hunted by Yang Rui and others reached as many as five or six thousand!
Early the next morning. The Yellow Turbans in Sindhu continued to besiege the inner city. But it was not much different from the first day. Although there were several dangerous situations in the defense, they were also resolved by Yang Rui in time! The most critical time, the Yellow Turban soldiers actually used the striking wood to break open the south gate of the inner city, and the soldiers rushed in a lot, Yang Rui mobilized almost all the junior generals, and added all the 4th-order cavalry patrolling the inner city, so he barely controlled the situation, cleaned up the Yellow Turban soldiers on the inside of the city gate, and closed the city gate again!
Since then. Yang Rui focused on strengthening the defense at the city gate, placing most of the more than 1,600 rank 4 archers in the position of the city gate tower, and only a small part of the city wall was left! The Yellow Turban outside the city originally lacked siege equipment, and Yang Rui's dispatch did not have much impact, even if the Yellow Turban was able to rush to the city wall a little more times, in the face of Yang Rui's many junior generals and 4th order foot soldiers, they could not stand their ground! And the location of the city gate is a lot more stable!
For three or four days in a row, the Yellow Turban soldiers have been persevering in attacking the inner city, and the total number of Yellow Turban soldiers participating in the attack has been maintained at the original Yellow Turban soldiers are not many, and the number of Yellow Turbans in Xindu City is only tens of thousands. Every day, during the day and night, there are different losses, and the total loss of each game day is more than 15,000 people! Therefore, the Yellow Turbans must have been replenished with a large number of soldiers from outside the city. In order to maintain the general constant number of siege numbers!
At this time, Yang Rui was not clear, he was able to hold the inner city for a few days without setting, and a large reason was due to the swift actions of Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, Feng Yi, and Liu Bei! After these Han Ting camp armies surrounded Guangzong City one after another, Guangzong Yellow Turbans had already sent a plea for help everywhere! At this time, most of the Yellow Turban generals and soldiers from all over the country rushed over to rush to the aid of the main force of the Yellow Turban in Guangzong City, including Xindu City, which was actually the same, and the Yellow Turban generals and more than half of the Yellow Turban soldiers with the strength above the intermediate military generals were all transferred!
In addition, Xindu City also sent several troops to escort materials, grain and grass, which caused the number of yellow scarves in the city to only tens of thousands! Rao is like this, Yang Rui is still under a lot of pressure to defend the inner city, especially after several dangerous situations, Yang Rui does not dare to be careless at all!
In fact, at this time, Yang Rui could completely withdraw, and rushed out of Xindu City at night! This is not a difficult thing for Yang Rui, but the yellow scarf's non-stop onslaught has also aroused Yang Rui's affection! Yang Rui wanted to verify how long the yellow scarf could last under the condition of the rapid attrition of the soldiers!?
In this way, although the battle between the offensive and defensive sides is stalemate, the situation is stable, but Yang Rui spends every day running and busy, and it is difficult to have free time to take it out to practice the basic internal strength method! Occasionally, there is some scattered time, which is just enough for Yang Rui to recover his internal strength to ensure the next battle!
During this period, Yang Rui released Liu Xu, the king of Anping, out a few times to "chat" after fighting, which can be regarded as a kind of adjustment. Yang Rui has always suspected that the huge Anping Kingdom has been run by Liu Xu and his predecessors for decades, is it really only the balance of more than 20,000 gold coins that were searched before? !
Previously, when Yang Rui was in Nanyang, in addition to the harvest in the treasury, he also found a few good things from Zhang Mancheng's study! And here in Xindu, Yang Rui got almost nothing in Liu Xu's residence, study, etc.! This point always makes Yang Rui feel a little strange, even if he was taken away by the Yellow Turban at the beginning, he would not keep Liu Xu, the "demoted general", at all
A few days passed in a hurry between the attack and defense of the two sides, starting from Yang Rui's control of the inner city, after the Yellow Turban insisted on attacking the city for a total of seven or eight days, the fierce Cheng DΓΉ had already decreased slightly, and the number of soldiers participating in the siege also declined.
Yang Rui can obviously feel that I'm afraid the yellow scarf is about to lose patience! Sure enough, after the Yellow Turbans of Xindu City attacked the inner city for 10 consecutive days, maybe it was because they couldn't do anything, or maybe for other reasons, all the Yellow Turban soldiers actually left Xindu City one after another and headed towards the southwest of Xindu, and Yang Rui was able to control the entire Xindu City in his hands!
"System prompt: Congratulations on successfully recovering the territory of the Han Dynasty camp - Xindu City (high-level city, that is, big city!) ), you receive 60,000 merit points (double), 60,000 points (double) points (double) for point value, and 300 reputation points! β
It was only at this time that a system prompt came about recovering the capital of Xin! The reward of mission merit and points is also very considerable, and unlike the recovering of low-level territories, the system also gives a rare additional 300 reputation points!
Although reputation is not doubled, giving 300 points at once is already a lot of money! With the prestige points of this reward, Yang Rui's reputation so far can only exceed 3,000 points!
According to the speculation on the forum in the previous life, although the reputation points do not have a clear function at present, they are likely to have a very special use after reaching a certain value! (To be continued......)
