Chapter 219: Dong Zhuo's first defeat
The regional plot [Battle of Guangzong] is about to break out, Guangzong City is surrounded by Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo with three layers of inside and three layers outside, and the range of more than 100 miles is full of dense and continuous distribution of Han Ting camp troops! This is still in the case that Huangfu Song and Cao Cao's troops are not present, if you add the crowd of players who have participated one after another after the beginning of the plot, and all the forces of the Han Ting camp have arrived, I don't know what a spectacular scene it will be!
Maybe it's the needs of the plot itself, Guangzong City has already been upgraded to a big city by Zhang Jiao, and its defense is not inferior to Wancheng, and even slightly surpasses! The broad city wall was full of patrolling Yellow Turban soldiers, and the military appearance was much stricter than any Yellow Turban Yang Rui had seen before! At the same time, it can also be inferred from the general equipment of the soldiers that neither their level nor their combat effectiveness will be low!
At this time, the offensive and defensive sides are launched separately, although there is no battle, the scene is already very magnificent! However, in this case, in the depths of the vast sea of people, even if Yang Rui and his soldiers are very elite, once the Guangzong offensive and defensive battle is officially unveiled, it is difficult to say how much they will gain!
There is a big difference between the attack and defense of the city and the ordinary battle, even if Yang Rui's troops are very strong, in the face of the high walls of the fortified city and all kinds of rolling wood and stones, stray arrows and arrows, it can be said that sometimes the role of the 1st order soldier is almost the same, and it is very likely that the heavy losses may not be able to achieve results! It is possible to destroy them all in a short period of time!
What's more, Yang Rui's strongest force in his hands now, in addition to Li Dong and other 34 junior generals, is 1,500 fourth-order cavalry and 1,600 fourth-order archers! And these two types of soldiers can hardly play their advantage in siege warfare!
Yang Rui is not afraid that the soldiers will be damaged, it just so happens that the plot of the Yellow Turban Uprising has reached its climax, even if all the soldiers are lost. Yang Rui can use guò points to resurrect him. By the way, "whitewash" the soldiers!
But if it is simply for this purpose, a large number of soldiers are sacrificed. It's a bit of a waste of time! Although the Yellow Turban Uprising plot is facing an end after the climax, the merit points and points obtained in the Yellow Turban Uprising plot will not be invalidated immediately, and according to Yang Rui's experience in his previous life, the redemption time will be delayed for three months if there is no change. In other words, the procedure of "whitewashing" the soldiers is not in a hurry, and it is completely possible to use this process of resurrecting the soldiers to use good steel on the blade and do something more valuable!
Thus, when the offensive and defensive sides have just spread out their positions. Yang Rui had already led a group of soldiers in his hand to the east, and only stopped after being about 200 miles away from Guangzong City.
Yang Rui originally wanted to go to Huangfu Song's place to join him, and detour from the east of Guangzong to Guangping City, where Huangfu Song was located, to see if there were any special tasks suitable for him. However, when Yang Rui retreated to the east of Guangzong, he found that the surrounding yellow turbans were too densely distributed, so he had to occupy a high-level village again as a temporary stronghold. In this case, if you want to go to Guangping Huangfu Song, the speed must not be fast!
Considering that even if he arrived in Guangping City, it was likely that he would eventually have to follow Huangfu Song back to the origin of Guangzong City; Moreover, Yang Rui also searched for the "Taiping Technique" for the first time, and it was best not to stay away from the vicinity of Guangzong City, so Yang Rui simply stopped in this high-level village. Yang Rui was ready to defend with a Tier 4 archer during the day. The rest of the soldiers rested and restored, and at night, 34 junior generals, 5th-order thief leaders, 4th-order cavalry, and all kinds of 4th-order foot soldiers attacked and killed the surrounding yellow turbans! In this way, the mission merit points and points are captured. At the same time, we are waiting for the change in the situation of the offensive and defensive battle of Gwangjong City!
"System Prompt: Dear player Lieyang, Dongzhong Lang General Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei Yijun will officially launch an attack on Guangzong City from now on, and the regional plot [Battle of Guangzong] will be officially opened, please choose the story mission"
On the second day of Yang Rui's troops in the east of Guangzong City, the system prompt about the opening of the plot in the [Battle of Guangzong] area came on time. I don't know if it's because Yang Rui has cooperated with Huangfu Song and Liu Bei in the two Han Dynasty armies before, and there are only four or five options in Yang Rui's regional plot task list at this time.
"1. Participate in Dong Zhonglang's general Dong Zhuo's department and listen to his dispatch.
2. Participate in Zuo Zhonglang's general Huangfu Song's department and listen to his dispatch.
3. Participate in the cavalry commander Cao Cao's department and listen to his dispatch.
4. Participate in Liu Bei's righteous army and coordinate its actions.
5. Act independently, and cooperate with Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei's main Han Dynasty army. ”
Among these 5 options, the first 3 of them all require the player to listen to the dispatch of a certain general, and the 4th item is not much different from listening to the dispatch of Liu Bei's army, although it is a coordinated battle! It's just a different way of saying it!
Only the fifth item is independent action, and the synergy in this item should be the real synergy, and when the time comes, you can help whoever you want, and even don't help! Plenty of freedom! Yang Rui chose this option after a little consideration.
The real situation is that all the players in the Three Kingdoms Region, except for Yang Rui, who participated in this regional plot, only have zài 4 choices, and there is no zài 5th item at all! Only Yang Rui alone has more than 100,000 points of military strength, so he has the fifth option!
The vast majority of players are well aware that the battle damage rate in the siege process is very high, and the return rate is very low, so in the previous two large-scale plots, the player group generally did not consider directly participating in the frontal siege when choosing story missions! And this regional story mission is arranged in this way, which should also allow players to truly experience the feeling of a city attack and defense battle.
"I choose item 5!"
"Option 5, act independently, and cooperate with Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao, and Liu Bei to act with the main Han court army! Are you sure? ”
"Sure!"
After all, the feeling of being controlled by others is not as comfortable as making decisions independently, which is expressed in the previous contact between Yang Rui and Liu Bei! So after comparing several tasks, Yang Rui quickly chose the 5th plot task, and automatically filtered out the first 4, but did not waste the 1 additional choice provided by the system for him.
At this time, under the city of Guangzong, Dong Zhuo's army and Liu Bei's army had launched an attack from the south and north directions, and the surging shouting sound could be heard dozens of miles apart!
Due to the location of Guangzong City in the north, Zhang Jiao has retreated into the city twice, and has upgraded the level of the city. Let's say that the moat of Gwangjong Castle was originally very small. Zhang Jiao in order to block the direct threat of the Han court camp army to the city wall. Before retreating into Gwangjong Castle, he mobilized his troops to re-dig a wide ditch 3 miles away from the city wall, which was nearly 200 meters wide and more than 10 meters deep, which can be described as a huge project!
The appearance of this trench did cause a lot of trouble to the soldiers of the Han court camp who were besieging the city, and it was very difficult for some heavy siege equipment to cross the ditch, and most of them were stranded at the bottom of the ditch. You can only rely on the shoulder push of the soldier and the hand to move forward slowly, which is very inefficient!
The foot soldiers who rushed through the trench first had almost only a simple wooden ladder in their hands to climb the city wall, and because they did not have effective siege equipment, they did not pose much threat to the city, and their own leakage was within the range of the archers of the city wall, but there were many casualties!
"Hahaha! Hahahaha, if a mere trench can stop the army under this general, wouldn't it be too contemptuous of my Dong Zhuo?! Someone came, and ordered the craftsmen to disassemble all the large siege equipment, transport them through the trench one by one, and then assemble them! The rest of the people stood in place. Don't attack the city! ”
In the south of Guangzong City, there was a general on the side of the trench who began to mobilize his subordinates after observing for a while. This person is as strong as a bear, with a fat head and big ears, and black skin, although he is wearing a majestic golden armor, in the eyes of the player, he is more like a neatly dressed black blind man in the circus! This will be the Dongzhong Lang General - Dong Zhuo!
"Haha! Haha said that Zhang Jiao, this thief is extremely difficult, and Bei Zhonglang confronted Lu Zhi against him and was convicted for not making meritorious contributions for a long time! Today, I look at this thief's methods, but they are mediocre, but they are just a horse's ear! Ben will be deeply ashamed of Kitakaro! I don't know if it's because Zhang Jiao is sharp or Lu Zhi is incompetent? Yes? Aha! ”
Dong Zhuo laughed loudly, his tone was full of disdain for Zhang Jiao and Lu Zhi, and the generals around him were also applauded, which made Dong Zhuo even more proud.
Besides, Dong Zhuo's troops also used their lives, and the craftsmen and soldiers acted quickly according to his orders, and in a short time, dozens of large siege equipment were dismantled and transported down the trench in batches.
I have to say that Dong Zhonglang's move to break Dong Zhuo into pieces is indeed very effective, and after a short time, a lot of scattered siege equipment parts have been transported to the opposite side of the trench, and many soldiers of the Han Ting camp are responsible for taking care of them, as long as the craftsmen on the opposite side are busy with their work, and then they can be assembled across the trench and put into siege!
And the trench of Zhang Jiao seems to be a bit far away from the city wall, and the long-range archers on the city wall cannot include the soldiers and siege equipment of the Han court camp who have crossed the trench into their range! I could only watch Han Ting's Dong Zhuo's troops climb over the trench, but they were helpless!
Dong Zhuobu in the south of Guangzong City is preparing in an orderly manner for the final siege, and if this progresses, a fierce siege battle will soon break out, and with a large number of siege equipment in the Han Ting camp put into use, Zhang Jiao's pressure to defend the city will definitely increase!
At this time, Liu Bei's department in the north of the city has not made great progress, compared to Dong Zhuo's department in the south of the city, Liu Bei's headquarters are all just gathered Xiangyong, even if there are more than a million players to help, and the number is still increasing, but there are no siege equipment!
After Liu Bei commanded his infantry to cross the trench and rush to kill for a while, he found that it was really difficult to achieve results in a direct siege of the city, especially when facing the dense long-range yellow turban archers on the city wall of Guangzong, most of the soldiers only had to drink hatred! So Liu Bei simply pressed the pawn and the player, and didn't dare to act again for the time being! They didn't even let the soldiers and players go over the trench again, and only waited for the south of Guangzong to make a move before responding!
Almost no one would have thought that Liu Bei's strategy of not moving would avoid a lot of losses for him!
When Dong Zhuo's troops in the south of the city climbed over the trench, and the follow-up soldiers came over the trench in a steady stream, and most of the siege equipment was assembled and was about to start the siege, suddenly I saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, and the sky was dark, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the pouring rain began to pour down rapidly!
"Brush Hulala"
Where can you storm the city in this weather!? The rain came so quickly that the sky was like a floodgate opening its mouth, and it kept pouring down streams of water! It's not like it's raining, it's like splashing water!
In less than a moment, a large amount of rain had already flowed into the empty trench, almost up to the waist of the soldiers, and some of the water depths were able to completely submerge people! And the water is still rising!
"Wow"
"Help!"
Because the heavy rain came too suddenly, Dong Zhuo's troops, who were originally densely packed across the trench, had no time to retreat, and both sides of the trench were very steep slopes, and after the rain poured, it had become slippery and unbearable, and the soldiers could no longer climb up, so they could only watch the water rise higher and higher, and finally completely submerged people
Dong Zhuo's troops were all northerners, and few of them were familiar with the nature of water, so after the water rose up, most of the soldiers in the trench quickly suffocated to death, and only a few soldiers floated on the water with the parts of the split siege equipment!
The lives of the soldiers could not be saved, and the parts of the siege equipment that were split in the trenches were naturally not spared, and almost all of them were washed away! Even if the water level recedes immediately, it will no longer be able to be assembled and used!
The most important thing is that the trench dug by Zhang Jiao before has become a moat in the real sense at this time, splitting Dong Zhuo's subordinates into two and restricting them to both sides of the ditch, and they can't care for each other in the slightest!
"Kill!"
"Kill"
When the south gate of Guangzong City was opened and the surging yellow turbans poured out of the city, the fate of the hundreds of thousands of soldiers of the Han court camp who were blocked at the inner edge of the ditch was already doomed! (To be continued......)
