Chapter 471: The Battle of the Lonely City
Guan Yu sat on horseback and looked at the city wall of Biyang hundreds of steps away, this city Guan Yu had already attacked once, but he retreated before he fought last time, because the logistics road was intercepted, the supplies could not come up at all, and there was no way to fight a war with a hungry stomach.
And this time is different, he and Zhang Fei learned the lesson of the last time, and Zhang Fei personally escorted the baggage to ensure all the supplies of Guan Yu's troops, so that Guan Yu could finally come to Biyang City smoothly, this time, he must take Biyang City, and the shame of the last time!
The so-called shame, that is, the psychological reaction of a person's pride being trampled on by others, Guan Yu is no longer the nobody who followed Liu Bei and ran around and mixed up at the bottom of the army, the current Guan Yu is a general of Pingyu, and the Son of Heaven personally taught it! This is pride, this is the fan, you must not lose face, otherwise even the face of the Son of Heaven will be lost!
Besides, Guan Yu has been defeated in a hundred battles and bloody battlefields since Liaodong, of course, being captured by Fang Zhiwensheng has been automatically excluded, with such an undefeated record, Guan Yu was originally a character with eyes above the top, plus Liu Bei's status as a royal prince, his own general from the Son of Heaven, etc., these factors make Guan Yu even more arrogant.
Therefore, the failure in Biyang was regarded by Guan Yu as his own shame, and if he wanted to wash away this shame, he could only use the corpse and blood of the yellow turban thieves in Biyang City, and personally step on the city that brought shame to Guan Yu, in order to relieve the hatred in his heart and the humiliation of reputation!
However, Guan Yu is not in a hurry now, in Guan Yu's opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is not worth mentioning at all, of course. This is also a fact, in the face of Guan Yu's crushing, the Yellow Turban Army is almost powerless, and can only secretly engage in some conspiracies and tricks on the periphery, and most of them have no effect.
The Yellow Turban Thief is committed to dealing with Zhang Fei's logistics troops, and Guan Yu naturally knows it, but this time Zhang Fei also performed very well. did not leave his post without permission because of anger, and steadily guarded the logistics channel, which made Guan Yu very pleased.
As for the city in front of him that once brought him shame. Guan Yu has a desire to slowly disassemble it, and if he breaks it all at once, it will be particularly boring. Or in Inhuman terms, it's called 'premature ejaculation'.
So Guan Yu set up camp under Biyang City with peace of mind, preparing to slowly clean up Biyang City and the defenders in the city, at least, to create enough psychological pressure on them first, so that they know what despair and fear are.
After resting for a night, Guan Yu was very strange, he also specially arranged the anti-sneak attack, but the yellow turban thief was very honest and had no intention of taking the opportunity to sneak attack at all. Have they already resigned themselves to their fate? But why should you stick to the city instead of abandoning it and fleeing after accepting your fate?
Guan Yu felt a little weird, and couldn't help but feel a trace of uneasy thoughts in his heart, and was then resolutely abandoned by Guan Yu. Guan Yu firmly believes in his own combat effectiveness, firmly believes in the combat effectiveness of his troops, and firmly believes in the weak combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban thieves opposite, failure? No way!!
Guan Yu had 40,000 infantry and 2,000 guards, including 15,000 sword and shield soldiers and 5,000 pikemen. 150,000,000 crossbowmen, as well as 5,000 auxiliary soldiers and baggage soldiers, as for the number of Inhumans who followed, Guan Yu did not calculate, but the clerk in charge of issuing the task reported that at least 10,000 Inhumans had taken the task, and the number of Inhuman troops accompanying the army may have exceeded 150,000.
Today, Guan Yu left 5,000 people to guard the camp, and he took the remaining infantry and guards to fight, the front width of Biyang City is very wide, the right side is against the mountain, the left side is the river, and the city has a moat.
The Inhumans who took over the long-range strike mission began to arrange trebuchets and siege crossbows within the firing range, and the Yellow Turban Army in the city did not seem to intend to play any gentlemanly behavior, but directly began to attack Guan Yu's long-range strike force and interfere with the deployment of the troops.
The silence of the battlefield was broken by a rumbling sound, and various sounds began to sound over the battlefield, noisy and exciting. Guan Yu didn't pay attention to these, because when the number of equipment between the two sides was not large, the long-range strike force was basically of little effect on the battlefield, as long as it could contain the long-range strike force in the city, Guan Yu had no other extravagant hopes for this.
Under normal circumstances, the number of infantry phalanxes is not easy to be too large, because it is not easy to command, after all, the commanders of grassroots officers will not be very high, so Guan Yu's infantry troops are also composed of three thousand to four thousand, and then one by one the phalanxes, wrapped with a large shield, slowly marched towards the city wall with the sound of drums.
When Zhang Mancheng was trained in Liaodong, he spent several months on offensive and defensive training, and naturally knew what to do at this time, Zhang Mancheng divided the medium-range strike force in the city into several parts, concentrated on attacking the same target with continuous shooting, and worked hard to create casualties for Guan Yu's troops, although the effect was not particularly good, but it was always good to disperse the attack force and cause the enemy to be injured and not die, which was tantamount to wasted effort.
The moat caused some trouble to the attacker, because the infantry formation could not cross the moat neatly, unless these were filled first, but Guan Yu did not intend to spend this effort to fill the moat, but directly put down the ladder on the moat, and then lay a piece of wood on it, and then quickly passed the moat.
Although this behavior is equivalent to abolishing the attack power of several infantry formations, it also effectively shortens the attack time and damage, and after rushing through the moat, the opponent's heavy crossbow cannot attack, and can only use the light crossbow at the head of the city to attack the infantry under the city.
In less than two moments, the moment of hand-to-hand contact came, which can not but be said to be Guan Yu's combat power, due to Guan Yu's troop bonus, the loss of the infantry is not large, so the infantry is more daring to fight, on the contrary, such a result has seriously hit the defenders of the city, which is one of the secrets of attacking the fortification.
Zhang Mancheng's defense is also the same, the light crossbow troops attack the crossbowmen who have approached the city, the heavy crossbow is responsible for blocking the follow-up attack of the other party, the remaining heavy crossbowmen put down the heavy crossbow, change into light crossbows and go to the city to assist, the militia is responsible for throwing rolling wood and stones, the aliens are throwing all kinds of skills, and the Taoist priests are constantly inspiring all kinds of paper symbols.
The battle gradually became fierce, due to Zhang Mancheng's command. As well as the slowly increasing killing effect, the morale of the defenders in the city has slowly recovered a little, and even the roaring sound is much louder!
The stalemate of the attack battle was very dangerous, and as soon as Guan Yu saw the opponent's steady defense, he immediately realized that there was a pretty good commander in the city, and it would definitely not work to fight like this. If the other party's morale is restored, he will only have 40,000 soldiers, and the city is not an alien army. There are also 100,000 defenders, and if they continue to be consumed like this, they will not fail. But the losses of their own troops will increase greatly, and at that time, they will be defeated even if they are victorious.
Guan Yu turned over, jumped down from the warhorse, brushed the ground and drew a giant blade, stretched out his hand to take the heavy shield handed by the guard, raised his sword and shouted: "The sword and shield of the guard are ready, follow me to trap the city 1."
"Roar! Roar! Roar 1
Guan Yu's personal entry into battle immediately triggered the high fighting spirit of the troops, and the attack suddenly broke out with a **.
"Kill! ~”
"Ascend to the city! General Guan came up 1
"Sonorous, sonorous"
There was a strange noise in the city, and Guan Yu didn't have time to think about what those sounds were at the moment. The giant blade was raised, and a move 'Sword Mountain and Sea of Fire' was thrown onto the city, taking advantage of the empty defenders at the head of the city, Guan Yu rushed up with his own personal guards.
"General Zhang, work together to shoot the follow-up guards. Guan Yu, I'll be responsible for resisting. ”
"Good 1
"Detachment round formation, up! Skill, 'rock solid'! Kill 1
"Kill 1
Guan Yu's sword was like a rainbow, his body was like a giant eagle, and he struck down in the air, as if he was going to split the entire city wall in two!
"Woo 1
A voice like Hong Zhong Da Lu. The soldiers who were fighting hard around them were all stunned, their minds were buzzing, and their thinking was a little confused.
But the crossbowmen who were a little farther away from the Yellow Turban Army were not affected at all, and Zhang Mancheng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised, could it be that guy actually budgeted for this?
The crossbow arrows flying around took the opportunity to collect the lives of Guan Yu's personal guards, even if the attributes of these personal guards were very high, and then they were added by Guan Yu's attributes, but the attributes of Zhang Mancheng and the black-armored general did not seem to be too low, coupled with a huge numerical advantage, hundreds of crossbow arrows were aimed at a few middle-armored infantry with a small range, and they would lose their combat effectiveness if they did not die.
Guan Yu was even more stunned, someone actually blocked his knife, although he didn't use any big skills, but this move is a very basic slashing skill, and the damage it brings is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.
"Paper Character 1
I don't know whose voice it was, but in the short moment when Guan Yu was stunned, a large number of paper rune skills covered Guan Yu, interrupting Guan Yu's follow-up attack, making it impossible for him to pursue the black-armored enemy general who was obviously injured.
Guan Yu had to swing his sword to block those strange skills, but more skills fell behind him, those guards who had just climbed the city wall, like locust crossbow arrows were coming from three sides, no, four sides, the heavy crossbow soldiers in the city were actually making accurate projectiles towards the city wall, which showed that there was at least one elite bow and crossbow general near here!
Also, these small circles in front of you are definitely heavy infantry! When, the elite hoplites of the Huang Jiezhu? Looking at their skillful round formation, happily killing their own guards and siege infantry, Guan Yu's heart twitched a little, and a nameless anger ignited!
"Good thief! Kill 1
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed more and more, staring at the black-armored general who had reorganized the team and was attacking him, Sen Leng's blade seemed to dance slowly, and the blue light showed that this was a nirvana!
Guan Yu is not a person who is superstitious about nirvana, on the contrary, he is a top martial artist, and he doesn't advocate nirvana at all, but now when he looks at the black-armored general in front of him, Guan Yu knows that the other party has used the power of the battle array to compete with him, and now he is not fighting with him alone, but with all his subordinates, so Guan Yu needs simple attack power, not skills!
If it is placed on flat ground, Guan Yu has full confidence to easily break through the battle formation in front of him, and kill this enemy general in black armor, but now the actual situation is attacking the city, and the enemy general obviously makes full use of this, and blocks himself in an embarrassing position in the moment of ascending the city, so that the personal guards behind him cannot form a formation, so as to fall into the situation of being beaten, this is undoubtedly a strong enemy!! To be continued! ~!
