Chapter 377: Attacking Gucheng County
"Choose to accept!"
Yang Rui returned to the division precisely to complete Du Yang's follow-up mission, and now that Zhang County's Zhang Xianling of Pingxian County has been killed, Yang Rui of course quickly chose to accept Du Yang's follow-up.
After Yang Rui became a follower, Du Yang's character information was also partially displayed in Yang Rui's character panel, but after all, it was only a county order, and his identity was the same as that of the previous Wei Xiu, but it was only displayed as a "historical figure", which was essentially different from a historical general/historical celebrity.
And its skills are also very ordinary, only showing a "rectified" internal affairs talent attribute, and there is no other explanation.
"Du Yang (follow state): Rectify (internal affairs natural skills), improve the order of the territory by 5%."
Compared with the talent skills of the previous Wei Xiu - "speculation", Du Yang's talent skills have been improved at a lower rate, in fact, Yang Rui has been speculating that whether it is talent skills or acquired skills, including all kinds of stunts, there should be a division of grades, but there is no systematic division at present.
Just like stunts, it is divided into first, second, and third, and other skills should also have high and low levels, and for example, Yang Rui's mastery of the goose marksmanship was once praised by Zhang Rang - it should be good among similar skills, so there should also be three, six, nine and so on!
Yang Rui browsed Du Yang's character information for a while, and then waved his army back to the vicinity of Heyin City. Now that Zhang Xianling has been killed by Yang Rui, Dong Zhuo's troops in Pingxian County, who are besieging Heyin, have also fallen apart, leaving only a few soldiers who are scattered everywhere.
After Gao Shun, Zhang Ning and other generals chased and killed separately for a while, the large number of Dong Zhuo's troops no longer existed. Yang Rui immediately summoned his troops to clean up the battlefield. After that, they were assembled in Heyin City. Discuss and prepare the next step.
Although Yang Rui now occupies the two counties of Heyin and Pingxian, it is not very useful to occupy too many cities in the area controlled by Dong Zhuo's camp, and it is most important to earn merit points, points, money and various items by storming the city, so Yang Rui plans to choose only one place between Heyin and Pingxian as a stronghold to concentrate on further attacking other cities.
In addition to the city, even if Yang Rui occupies the two county seats, most of the villages and towns within the jurisdiction of the two counties still belong to Dong Zhuo's camp.
Due to the quantity put there. The merit points and points obtained by brushing the first-level territory of the village and town are actually a lot, and the difficulty of raiding is much simpler than that of the city, with Zhang Ning, Gao Shun and other generals, you can spread it out and push it over, and crush many territories at the same time!
"Due to the limited strength of our side, I want to choose a place between Heyin and Pingxian as a stronghold, what do you think?"
Yang Rui asked tentatively after summoning Zhang Ning, Gao Shun, Zhang Liao, Chen Lin, and Wu Anguo, including Du Yang County.
Chen Lin thought that General Lieyang could keep the county seat of Pingxian, and Pingxian and Mengjin were across the river. It can better provide security for the fleet to block Li Dao and other Dong Zhuo generals on the north bank from crossing the river. Prevent attacks that affect our raids on the south shore. Chen Lin took the lead in speaking.
In fact, Yang Rui wanted to give up the county seat of Pingxian, even if as Chen Lin said, occupying Pingxian County could be more convenient for the fleet to move, and relying on the Yellow River to block the pace of Li Dao and other generals, but Heyin County also had a lot of advantages, and it could also provide docks and other guarantees for the fleet, but it was a little far away from the area where the fleet was active.
The most important thing is that Yang Rui took a fancy to the shipbuilding capacity of Heyin County, and now Heyin County has ordered Du Yang to follow Yang Rui, and when he went to attack Ping County, Yang Rui had asked Du Yang to prepare transport ships at the same time, in case of future retreat, and this matter has now begun to start.
Moreover, Du Yang was originally the commander of Heyin County, and he had a natural advantage in the control ability of the entire county, and if he abandoned Heyin to occupy Ping County, it was tantamount to giving up this advantage, which was relatively not cost-effective.
At this time, Du Yang also had an expression of wanting to speak and stopping, obviously having something to say, and under Yang Rui's signal, Du Yang opened his mouth to express his opinion. In fact, as Yang Rui expected, Du Yang still hoped that Yang Rui could occupy Heyin City, and was reluctant to give up the familiar land of Heyin County.
Yang Rui finally decided to stay in Heyin County, and sent people to Ping County to mobilize more than 10,000 troops led by Zhang Ning, and at the same time ordered the fleet to travel between the dock in Heyin County and Mengjin, and try to organize Li Dao and others to cross the river.
In fact, Yang Rui also had a heart in the previous duel with Guò, even if Li Dao and other generals crossed the river, it was not unstoppable, at most there would be another long-term battle to defend the city. With the direction of the plot of Dong Zhuo's rebellion, Dong Zhuo and others will sooner or later be defeated and retreat to the west of Hangu Pass, and when the tiger prison Guandong princes enter the pass, Dong Zhuo may not have time to deal with Yang Rui.
After settling down in Heyin County, Yang Rui resurrected the soldiers who had died in recent times, and did not clean up the villages and towns in Heyin and Ping counties for the first time, but set his sights on Gucheng again. Yang Rui planned to take advantage of the fact that Dong Zhuo had no time to look west in the Tiger Prison Pass, and Li Dao and other generals were blocked north of the Yellow River, to expand the scope of activities in Sili as much as possible.
Previously, he was still conflicting about choosing to be stationed in Heyin County or Pingxian County, but after resurrecting the soldiers, Yang Rui found that Yang Rui's troops in Dongjun were also losing soldiers one after another, and these soldiers appeared in Heyin City after being resurrected, which also provided a way for Yang Rui to transfer personnel in disguise.
It takes 1,000 points to resurrect a 5th-order special class, 500 points to resurrect a 5th-order ordinary soldier, and only 300 points to resurrect a 4th-order ordinary soldier.
With the addition of this part of the soldiers, Yang Rui's strength has unexpectedly increased a lot, and Yang Rui's manpower has become much more abundant. So Yang Rui left Du Yang and his original team and more than 800 archers to garrison Heyin County, and he led Zhang Ning, Gao Shun and other five people and more than 56,000 soldiers to immediately rush to Gucheng.
Gucheng is an important city near Hangu Pass, located on the main road between Luoyang City and Hangu Pass, its location has a strategic position of not low, and getting Gucheng is equivalent to setting up a checkpoint on the road to the west of Luoyang, if Dong Zhuo moves Luoyang officials and people to the west in the future, it is bound to pass through this place, which is also one of the reasons why Yang Rui chose to attack the city here.
Originally, Gucheng was not far from Heyin County, Yang Rui set off from the beginning of twilight, and after about three hours of rapid travel, he arrived near Gucheng County. Before the official dispatch of troops, Yang Rui had already spent a day, causing all the thieves to go to the territory of Gucheng County to investigate, including Yang Rui himself, who also drove the Daofeng Flying Carpet to almost all over the vicinity of Gucheng.
Gucheng is also a city located near the Luoshui tributary, its north and south sides are hills of varying heights, and the county seat of Gucheng is located in the middle of the low place, according to Yang Rui's exploration a few days ago, there should not be many soldiers and horses stationed in Gucheng.
And the actual situation is indeed like this, due to the close proximity of Gucheng to Hangu Pass, Dong Zhuo has more troops stationed in the pass, and the troops in Gucheng are less than those in ordinary county towns.
Because he was familiar with the terrain near Gucheng, when Yang Rui led his army to the vicinity of Gucheng, he quickly cleaned up Dong Zhuo's forces around Gucheng, and ordered the soldiers to lead men and horses to surround Gucheng.
Yang Rui and Zhang Ning together led 10,000 iron guards and more than 5,000 4th-order soldiers to attack the north gate, Gao Shun led 10,000 iron guards to attack the south gate, Zhang Liao led 10,000 iron guards to attack the west gate, Wu Anguo and Chen Lin took 10,000 iron guards and more than 5,000 4th-order soldiers to attack the east gate.
Because the strength has increased a lot compared with before, the direction of each city gate is also blessed with auxiliary stunts, and this siege battle happened very suddenly, the whole siege process seems to be a little undisturbed, and within a moment, Yang Rui's troops have climbed up on the east, west, north and south city wall sections, and quickly established their heels.
The next process was even simpler, after Yang Rui's people controlled the four city gates and the city wall, they then killed the inner city of Sanfu from four directions, and the offensive and defensive battles of the inner city almost failed to stop Yang Rui's people for a while, and soon the entire inner city was also charged.
"System announcement: The anti-Dong Alliance camp player Lieyang has recovered the large city occupied by Dong Zhuo's camp - Gucheng County, and the plot merit value is 40,000 points, and the plot point system is 40,000 points, which is hereby announced."
With the release of an announcement of the Three Kingdoms Civilization Zone system, the siege of Gucheng came to an end, and the total time spent before and after was only more than half an hour, Yang Rui once again won a city of Dong Zhuo's camp, and it was a large city.
In the process of capturing Gucheng, Yang Rui's troops attacked and killed about 20,000 people from Dong Zhuo's camp who defended the city, and obtained merit points and points of 780,000 points respectively, as well as more than 30,000 gold coins, more than 6,000 sets of various skill books, more than 100,000 units of food, and many equipment and other items.
At the same time, the original plan of Tracing * Dragon Soul and others to attack Liang County to the southeast has also changed due to the appearance of the system announcement.
"Dragon Soul Boss, do you mean that we are going to turn to Henan County, use the scorching sun to capture Gucheng County, pull Dong Zhuo's strength, and take Henan County in one fell swoop?"
"Yes. Henan County is already very close to Luoyang City, and its status is obviously much more important than Liang County! ”
