Chapter 220: Zhang Jiao makes a move
PS: Thank you for your support from book friend Qiangqiang 8047, Laugh without crying, and Haoji!
After the Yellow Turban soldiers poured out from the southern gate of Guangzong, they split left and right like a flood and diverted to both sides, and all the people who rushed to the front were extremely elite 5th-order Yellow Turban wrestlers from Zhang Jiaobu's stroke, not to mention the attack power!
And at this time, there were also yellow turban soldiers at the corners of the city walls on the east and west sides at the same time! It turned out that long before the opening of the south gate of Guangzong, countless Yellow Turban soldiers had already been killed in the direction of the east and west city gates! In the narrow area between the trench and the city wall, which was only 3 miles wide, Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of soldiers had no way to retreat, and they were immediately in chaos under the enemy on three sides!
"Kill!"
"Kill"
Although there are a lot of soldiers in the Han court camp here, the number of Yellow Turbans is even larger, and Dong Zhuo's soldiers were almost quickly submerged by the yellow sea, and half of them were forced to drown in the trench by the Yellow Turban soldiers! Coupled with Dong Zhuo's soldiers who had been stranded in the trench before, there were already tens of thousands of soldiers from the Han Ting camp who were drowned in the trench at this time!
"Zhang Jiao, this thief and demon trick harms people! I swear to kill him with my own hands."
At this time, Dong Zhuo watched his subordinates being killed on the other side of the trench, and he was so anxious in the rain that he had no choice but to scold a few words and be ruthless!
A big battle happened suddenly, and it ended just as quickly, but in less than half an hour, the Yellow Turban soldiers had completely wiped out Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of soldiers! I don't know what kind of means used in this battle of the Yellow Turbans actually attracted a torrent of water without warning, and used the trench to block the retreat of Dong Zhuo's troops. The strategy is wonderful!
Dong Zhuo was killed and defeated. In the first battle, more than 100,000 soldiers and many siege equipment were lost. It was already a big injury, so I had to take the initiative to retreat thirty miles back to form a village, in order to stabilize the hearts of the Dìng army and fight again! At the same time, it is also necessary to let the craftsman replenish some siege equipment!
It's just that the craftsmen who were sent by Dong Zhuo to assemble siege equipment on the opposite side of the trench were all damaged, and the number of craftsmen in Dong Zhuo's army was insufficient at this time, and it was already very difficult to make a large siege equipment like before! Even the manufacturing speed of ordinary siege equipment is not very fast, so Dong Zhuo has not moved for 10 days after being stationed!
Besides, Liu Bei's side, although he had almost no losses in the previous siege battle, was angered by Dong Zhuoqian! Dong Zhuo almost ordered Liu Bei's troops to make siege equipment at the same time. When the time comes, we will cooperate with him in the siege of the city.
I don't know what Liu Bei plans to do, but he agreed. It's just that most of its army are players, and there are only a handful of people who have mastered the skills of craftsmen, so naturally they can't make many siege machines!
At the same time, Dong Zhuo also repeatedly asked Huang Fu Song, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, and Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, who were stranded in Guangping City, to cooperate in attacking the city, but Huang Fu Song kept delaying it under the pretext of "there are many thieves in Guangping, and the road is blocked", and Dong Zhuo was so angry that he scolded him several times but was helpless!
Several bigwig-level NPC characters blamed each other, and the most comfortable one at this time should be Yang Rui!
Since the [Battle of Guangzong] regional plot officially began, the Yellow Turban soldiers at Yang Rui's location have successively shifted a lot in the direction of Guangzong City, and the density has decreased a lot! And the plot begins. Players can also enjoy double merit points and points! So Yang Rui started the old business of "conquering cities, sweeping the yellow turbans, and recovering the territory of the Han Dynasty".
"System Prompt: Congratulations on successfully killing 50 Yellow Turban soldiers and obtaining 1 story mission verification! Accumulate to exchange for special items for story missions"
"System prompt: Congratulations on successfully recovering the territory of the Han Ting camp - Nandagang Village (intermediate village). You get 400 merit points (double) and 400 points (double) for point value! ”
Both the Extermination of the Yellow Turban and the Reconquest of the Lost Territory have merit points and points to be gained, and they are both in double status, so Yang Rui's speed of accumulating merit points and points has suddenly increased a lot! As Yang Rui continued to attack and kill and regain territory for the Han Ting Formation, the above two types of system prompts kept coming alternately, and they were almost never broken!
This time, Yang Rui's military strength is not comparable to the previous two episodes, when the Yellow Turban soldiers rushed to the aid of Guangzong City and the density dropped greatly, Yang Rui no longer used a fixed territory as a station, but continued to move and make the best use of all the troops.
During the day, Yang Rui divided most of the junior generals and soldiers into 17 groups, led by Yang Rui and the remaining 33 junior generals, leaving only Li Dong and the 5th-order thief leaders to rest in the ring for night action!
With the strength of Yang Rui's subordinates, each group has two junior generals, and each group is allocated a considerable number of cavalry and long-range archers, so whether it is an encounter or a territory capture, it is almost invincible!
After the 17 groups are fully expanded, they can spread to a width of more than ten miles, and every time the Yellow Turban soldiers or the Yellow Turban control zhì's territory, many of Yang Rui's soldiers are all the way to the thunder and sweep the holes, directly pushing and rolling through, the efficiency can be described as extremely high!
And at night, after Yang Rui placed a group of soldiers, he would let Li Dong lead 38 fifth-order thief leaders to attack and kill the Yellow Turban forces around the villages and towns where they were stationed that day! Although it can't be compared to the daytime, it is not much wrong compared to the previous two regional episodes! The merit points and points earned every night generally reach more than 10,000 points!
Coupled with the harvest of no less than 30,000 or 40,000 points during the day, the number of task merit points and points that Yang Rui can get every game day has repeatedly exceeded 50,000 points! In this way, after more than 10 days, Yang Rui's mission merit value and total point value have both exceeded 3 million points! Since the density of the Yellow Turbans in the eastern part of Guangzong was much higher than when Yang Rui pacified Yanzhou, even without the assistance of Cheng Yu's powerful skills, the efficiency at this time was even one or two times higher than at that time!
More than ten days have passed, and Yang Rui's activities in the east of Guangzong have also expanded to several boundaries in Anping, Qinghe, and Guantao, and a large area of yellow turban blank influence has been cleared!
It is worth mentioning that during this process, Yang Rui often encounters players from the Yellow Turban camp, who should have taken a certain story mission and were active nearby. Although Yang Rui basically does not have contact with other players. But due to opposing camps. The players of the Yellow Turban camp who were touched by Yang Rui naturally did not escape his attack!
As a result, Yang Rui's information was gradually excavated by these Yellow Turban camp players. Information about Yang Rui also abounds on the forum, and there are great complaints about Yang Rui! In addition, the players in the Hanting camp claimed to have seen Yang Rui at Liu Bei's place before, and the news that Yang Rui actually had 1,500 fourth-order cavalry, and even the fact that Yang Rui was once honored by Liu Bei as a "general" also came out, and Yang Rui became a celebrity among players for a while!
This is contrary to Yang Rui's original intention, but it is also inevitable! Of course, many players don't believe these "rumors", and they argue for good reason that players can't get Tier 4 cavalry at this stage. Not to mention the scale of 1,500 people! Many players speculated that Yang Rui was just doing a task with the help of NPC's strength, but this argument has been widely supported!
Moreover, half a month after Dong Zhuo withdrew the whole army, a lot of siege equipment had been made, and the morale of the soldiers was basically restored as before, Dong Zhuo pushed the front to the side of the trench with some urgency, and asked Liu Bei's army to also cooperate with his own side to besiege Guangzong City and participate in the siege at the same time!
Dong Zhuo was anxious for a reason, since he was defeated by Zhang Jiao last time, the news was immediately transmitted back to the capital by someone with a heart, and at this time he was being covered by several middle attendants. I'm afraid that only Emperor Han Ling is the only one in the entire Luoyang City who is kept in the dark!
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo had bribed several lieutenants, otherwise it is uncertain whether Dong Zhuo would be detained and returned to Luoyang like Lu Zhi now! Therefore, Dong Zhuo urgently needs a victory to prove himself. At the same time, Dong Zhuo was also very unconvinced by Zhang Jiao after his defeat last time, and he himself was very eager to defeat Zhang Jiao!
So half a month later, Dong Zhuo hurriedly re-attacked again. At this time, the trench was still full of stagnant water, and on the opposite side of the trench were yellow turban soldiers patrolling back and forth, and it was not easy to cross this huge ditch more than 100 meters wide!
Dong Zhuo has been thinking about how to cross this trench for more than ten days, and finally returned to the method of using wooden boats to build pontoon bridges
At first, it was very smooth, but by the time the wooden boat pontoon bridge was built to two-thirds of the way to the trench, the long-range archers of the Yellow Turban could already effectively attack Dong Zhuo's pawns who were working, and Dong Zhuo could only send shield bearers to the front and archers to suppress them, so as to barely ensure that the construction of the pontoon bridge continued!
As a result, the losses were greatly reduced, and a lot of casualties were inflicted on the defending Yellow Turban soldiers! The Yellow Turban soldiers on the other side seemed to feel that something could not be done, and they gave up the defense of the first line along the trench one after another, and all retreated into Guangzong City. Dong Zhuo was naturally overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately ordered to speed up the construction of the pontoon bridge! Within two hours, the accessible and wide pontoon bridge was already covered with the water of the trench, and the soldiers walked on it only a little shaky, almost as if they were walking on the ground!
The road was smooth, Dong Zhuo did not rush to attack the city, but first invited Liu Bei's army to the south of the city as a reserve.
According to Dong Zhuo's original intention, Liu Bei should also be like the south of the city, build all the trenches outside the north gate of Guangzong, and cooperate with the south gate to attack the city! However, the number of wooden ships and siege equipment made by Liu Bei's army was really limited, and it was impossible to realize Dong Zhuo's intentions, so Dong Zhuo could only transfer them to the south of the city!
Originally, Dong Zhuo also wanted to use Liu Bei's army as a pawn and directly let him act as the vanguard of the siege, but Liu Bei was shirked by Liu Bei in the name of "the righteous army is loose, the combat power is low, and the fighter plane is afraid of delaying"!
Although Dong Zhuo was angry, he didn't care too much. In his opinion, leaving the other three directions not to attack, and it is not a bad thing to attack the south side of the city alone, just open the net, maybe the yellow turban will immediately break and flee when he sees the ferocity of his own attack!
However, when the siege battle began, the situation was not as simple as Dong Zhuo had imagined! The Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangzong City are the elite of the elite of this Yellow Turban Riot, how could they flee lightly?! The siege battle was fought from morning to night, and it was carried out very closely, but the siege soldiers on Dong Zhuo's side suffered heavy losses!
If it is an encounter on the flat ground, I believe that Dong Zhuo is also a good player, but he has always been in the northwest, and Dong Zhuo is not so good at siege warfare! For three days in a row, Dong Zhuo did his best, and the south of Guangzong City was still guarded by the yellow scarf! However, Dong Zhuo's troops suffered a lot of losses every day, if it weren't for Liu Bei's army in the rear, maybe the Yellow Turbans would have considered counterattacking!
"Now that the thieves have defended the law, Guangzong City seems to be difficult to shake, Zhonglang General might as well retreat and retreat to besiege for several months, in order to cut off its food and grass supply, although Guangzong City is strong, it will definitely not be attacked!" Liu Bei persuaded Dong Zhuodao in a timely manner.
"Humph! Piff's view! Piff's view! and Lu Zhishi are the same raccoon dog! Only know the siege, the siege! How can our eldest husband do what that woman and child do?! ”
I never thought that Guangzong City could not be attacked repeatedly, Dong Zhuo was angry, but Liu Bei's persuasion was exchanged for a burst of ridicule, and Liu Bei stopped talking about it since then.
After another two days, the siege soldiers of the Han Ting camp still could not break through. At noon on this day, I saw a Taoist on the south gate tower of Guangzong, this person was thin and tall, with a clear face, eyes and eyes, and a wide Taoist robe spread in the wind, with his own fairy wind and bones!
I saw that after this person appeared, he held a slender wooden sword in one hand, and played a talisman in the other hand, and when the talisman seal was just high in the air, this person took the wooden sword and pointed at it, and a long row of fireballs exploded out of thin air, and then spread out and fell! Look at where it falls, just enough to cover the trench!
"Puff Puff"
After this row of fireballs fell into the trench, it ignited immediately when it encountered something, and the wooden boat pontoon bridge built by Dong Zhuo on the trench was already burning, and the flames were extremely strong, as if it could ignite the water in the trench together! Outside the south of the city, all the trenches with wooden boat pontoon bridges have been turned into a fire dragon!
"Ahh
“”
"It's on fire! It's on fire! ”
"Run!"
None of Dong Zhuo's soldiers who were crossing the river on the pontoon bridge were spared, and they were burned clean immediately, and even some of the soldiers didn't have time to snort! The rest of the soldiers didn't know what to do for a while, and it was too late to save each other!
The fire dragon appeared, once again disconnecting Dong Zhuo's troops on both sides of the trench, and the Dong Zhuo troops who were stranded in the trench and were besieging the city were more than 100,000 people! These soldiers have lost their way out!
"Kill!"
"Kill"
After a short while, the corners of the city walls on the east and west sides killed a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers, and the south city gate was also opened, and the Yellow Turban soldiers swarmed out, and the Yellow Turbans on three sides pressed against Dong Zhuo's troops who were attacking the city at the same time! What a similar scene to Dong Zhuo's first defeat at the beginning appeared again! (To be continued......)
