Chapter 207: Pressed on the whole line
PS: Thank you for the support of book friends who don't cry and laugh, Little Ant, 380809037, lazy de Xiaonuo, Haoji, and the divine sword!
As soon as the system prompt came out, there was a climax of participating in the plot of the [Battle of Nanyang] area among the players, especially the players in the Hanting camp, among the options for them to participate in the mission, there was an option of "joining the main attack of Sima Sun Jian", and after choosing, they could be directly teleported to Sun Jian's subordinates!
As a result, Sun Jian's troops, who were marching in the direction of Nanyang, continued to expand, from about 100,000 at the end of the conscription in Huaishui and Surabaya to more than 500,000 at the end of one game day! It can be seen that Sun Jian's charm in the minds of players is great!
It's also the first time that the player base has really taken on a large scale! When Cao Cao first appeared, there was no mission option for players to follow directly, so there was no spectacular scene now! Of course, if Sun Jian appeared at the beginning of the [Battle of Nanyang] regional plot, instead of killing halfway like now, the number of players responding should be even greater!
In this way, when Sun Jian's troops appeared on the east side of Wancheng three days later, the balance of power inside and outside Wancheng immediately reversed, and the strength of Sun Jian's group alone was worthy of most of the strength of the Yellow Turban of Wancheng!
At the same time, Zhao Hong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Canal, has repaired the previously destroyed suspension bridge outside the north gate, and repaired the damaged city wall at the north gate and various sections.
During this period, although Yang Rui's attack and killing efficiency did not improve. However, I also found two other valuable targets - the residential area where the Yellow Turban 4th Order Detective Cavalry is concentrated and the Yellow Turban 3rd Order Archers are concentrated!
Maybe it's enough attention to these two classes. The Yellow Turban Scouts and Yellow Turban Archers were placed near the inner courtyard of the Three Mansions of Wancheng. Located on the east and west sides of the inner courtyard! Yang Rui also tracked the two types of troops that returned from outside separately, and then gradually touched these two places!
Since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Uprising, Yang Rui has obtained enough skill books for soldiers to upgrade, and there are only two skill books for cavalry and archers, so these two targets are very big for Yang Rui!
In the case of a sneak attack at night, it was not difficult for Yang Rui to deal with the 4th-order scout and the 3rd-order archers, but due to the proximity to the inner courtyard, there were not a few soldiers patrolling and sentry near the residences where the two classes were resting. It is difficult to enter the residence of both classes. Once you've escaped the sight of these night watchmen and entered the dwellings, it's easier to get started!
For three consecutive days, Yang Rui killed more than 2,000 Tier 4 Scout Cavalry or Tier 3 Archers every night, and obtained no less than six or seven hundred sets of relevant skill books and supporting weapons and equipment! It wasn't until later that the Yellow Turban was alert and strengthened the nearby defense forces, and Yang Rui had obtained a total of 623 copies of the 4th Order Scout Cavalry Upgrade Skill Book, and 1509 Level 3 Archer Upgrade Skill Books, and the number of matching weapons and equipment was more than the number of skill books!
At noon on the second day when Sun Jian's army arrived on the east side of Wancheng, the rest of the Hanting camp should have also received the news, and they all approached Wancheng and set up camp. Outside the north gate, the right middle lang will be Zhu Jun's department, and the west gate outside the Nanyang will guard the Qin Jie department. Outside the south gate, the Jingzhou Thorn Shi Xu Xuan Division, and the East Gate Outside the Zuojun Sima Sun Jian Division, realized the comprehensive encirclement of the Wancheng Yellow Turban! The Yellow Turban soldiers in the city also stood on the city wall one after another, and the two sides were tense, and a big battle was imminent and imminent!
I have to say that Zhao Hong, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai, as the general leader of the entire Wancheng, is indeed a very courageous general, just after the four-way Han Ting camp army surrounded Wancheng, he did not have time to make a difference, that night Zhao Hong Qu Shuai took 100,000 elite soldiers out of the south city gate, and Jingzhou Assassin Shi Xu Xuan fought a fight, killing more than 10,000 soldiers of the Han Ting camp, although his own foot soldiers were also damaged, but it was also a big victory, which greatly boosted the morale of the Yellow Turban defending the city!
When the remaining three soldiers of the Han court camp outside the city wanted to rescue, Zhao Hongqu Shuai had already led his troops back to Wancheng and closed the gate! This battle made it so difficult for the Han court soldiers outside the city to sleep all night, so that there was no attack on the city the next day!
After another day, the sky was just dawning, and the Han court army outside the four gates of Wancheng finally began to move, and began to attack the city on all sides!
"Click!"
"Click......"
Due to the obstruction of the moat of Wancheng, the suspension bridge of the four gates has long been put away by the yellow turban in the city, and the army of the Han Dynasty camp still uses the old method, using the special "pontoon bridge" when they captured the north gate of Wancheng before, and the position of the original suspension bridge has been filled! This allowed the soldiers to pass through the moat and approach the city gates!
"Kill"
"Drink!"
For a while, the wood-colliding team and cloud echelon of the Han Ting army stepped forward one after another, and rushed to the four city gates of Wancheng under the cover of a large number of sword and shield soldiers! Suddenly shouted to kill the sky, and the momentum was like a rainbow!
"Whoosh"
"Ugh"
"Ahh
However, unlike the previous Qin Jie's attack on the north gate of Wancheng at night, it was difficult for the Han Ting army to be effective in an attack of this intensity under a head-to-head confrontation! When the soldiers of the Han court camp had just passed through the pontoon bridge and had not yet posed a substantial threat to the city gate, the yellow turban on the city gate had already poured down a large rain of arrows, almost all the Han court siege soldiers were shrouded in it.
When the siege soldiers finally approached the city gate, there was a burst of rolling stones and trees thrown down densely above the city gate! This kind of large piece of wood and stone is often smashed into a large area, and it is very difficult to dodge, and the casualties caused are even more severe than the previous rain of arrows!
The siege soldiers of the Han Dynasty suffered a lot of losses, and the Yellow Turban guards on the city gate tower also suffered casualties! I have to say that the official equipment of the Hanting camp is still very good, and the ladders used in its siege are all equipped with wooden shields, winches, grappling hooks and other equipment, and even simple pulley lifting equipment! Once this kind of ladder leans on the gate tower of Wancheng, there are a large number of high-ranking soldiers jumping up to the gate, and a hand-to-hand fight is inevitable!
As a result, the offensive and defensive sides of Wancheng have entered a stalemate from the beginning of the fight! Although the Han court camp army was elite, due to the narrow attack surface, it was limited to the width of the four city gate drawbridges in Wancheng when crossing the moat, so it was never able to fully deploy the formation, threatening the rest of the city wall; Although the strength of the Yellow Turban is at a disadvantage and the number of long-range archers is limited, it occupies a strong city, and the defense is not worry-free for a while!
After a morning of fierce confrontation, the Han Ting camp did not achieve much success in the siege battle, but instead lost a lot of soldiers, and the losses were much more than the Yellow Turbans! After noon, the besieging Han armies stopped attacking, and the two sides ceased fighting until the evening!
Yang Rui in the city naturally knew about the Han Ting army's siege, but he was very puzzled why the Han Ting camp's siege had only lasted for half a day before stopping! In Yang Rui's thoughts, just among the people of Nanyang Taishou Qin Jie, there are people who can seriously injure the divine envoy Zhang Mancheng, not to mention that after gathering the rest of the people, it should be easy to capture Wancheng again!
However, the fact seems to be the opposite, not only did the Han Ting's siege not only fail to achieve results that day, but even the next few days still did not make an inch! The two sides fought back and forth, and the battle was very intense, but neither seemed to exert their full strength! Yang Rui was puzzled by this.
However, the stalemate between the two sides just gave Yang Rui time. In the past five or six days, Yang Rui has killed more than 10,000 fourth-order Yellow Turban cavalry, which is almost seventy or eighty percent of the total number of Yellow Turban cavalry in Wancheng! The shadow of the Yellow Turban Cavalry can hardly be seen in Wancheng!
These cavalrymen have a total of about 3,000 copies of the 4th level cavalry skill books and supporting weapons for Yang Rui, and there are even more than 10,000 riding skill books! Yang Rui is complacent about this, as long as he gathers enough horses, Yang Rui will soon have a considerable cavalry force! This can be said to be Yang Rui's second heavy harvest in this plot mission!
As for the 3rd Order Yellow Turban Archers, almost all of them have been mobilized to the city walls since the Han Dynasty army began to attack the city, and they have never left! Its eating, drinking, and sleeping were almost all solved by the dwellings placed near the city walls! Yang Rui also failed to brush it again because of this! However, more than 1,500 sets of Tier 3 archer skill books and related equipment have been harvested before, and a lot of gains have been made!
In the previous siege battles that Yang Rui has experienced, the role of archers has been greatly highlighted and plays an important role in the city defense, so Yang Rui has always paid great attention to the development of long-range troops such as archers. After the strongman camp in Mazhuang was taken by Yang Rui, Yang Rui no longer had a fixed source of archer skill books, so the more than 1,500 third-order archer skill books obtained this time were also very important.
Moreover, these 3rd order skill books are placed in Yang Rui's hands, which is basically equivalent to the function of 4th order skill books! After the archer uses these skill books to upgrade to level 3, he can upgrade again through the rebel camp that Yang Rui subdued, and then use the task points to resurrect and whitewash, and what he gets is a regular level 4 archer!
On the night after the siege of the city for six days by the people of the Han Dynasty, when Yang Rui was attacking and killing the 4th rank cavalry of the Yellow Turban, there was a resurgence of noise outside the city.
This time, the soldiers of the Han Ting camp are no longer just attacking Wancheng at the four-gate suspension bridge, but pressing on the whole line!
If you take the position of the city wall as a perspective, and look at it by the light of the torches, you will find that the dense soldiers of the Han court camp are heading towards the direction of the moats everywhere, and they are in groups of seven or eight, each carrying a flat wooden boat to the moat to lay down, and then the special soldiers will connect these flat wooden boats one by one, and advance forward one by one, and soon most of the water surface has been covered by flat wooden boats!
This flat wooden boat is somewhat similar to the rudimentary wooden boat made of yellow turban in the Juping defense war, but it is much higher on the delicate stage. (To be continued......)
