Chapter 523 Continue to attack the counties

The player troops of more than 100,000 or 200,000 were defeated by the 30,000 elite-level Youzhou Assault Cavalry, this result seems a bit exaggerated, but if you carefully calculate the troops, troop levels, general ranks, and other factors on both sides, this result is simply inevitable.

The player commander, who is quite unfamiliar with large-scale cavalry tactics, simply did not take the right response at the most critical moment at the beginning of the battle, and as a result, the command system was instantly disrupted, and then the player's problem of fighting separately and not being subordinate to each other was infinitely magnified, and it was definitely a tragedy for the scattered player troops to fight against the elite cavalry in a tight formation.

The tactics adopted by Gao Shun further exacerbated this trend.

The best tactics for light cavalry to attack infantry are psychological warfare that I can fight you but you can't beat me, a fatigue battle that consumes your physical strength, and a defeat battle that is interspersed with disrupting the formation and command system.

Gao Shun is undoubtedly an excellent archer general, as an infantry general, a guest archer general, although he does not have a strong bonus to the archers, but just this superb command level is already worth it!

Defeat is like a mountain! This sentence is not an empty sentence or an adjective, but an explanation of a fact, so it should be classified as a noun.

The reason why the defeat will fall like a mountain is because of the chain effect, because of the herd mentality, and because of the weakness of the mantis arm to block the car, even if there are many people who understand, but all of them are running, these few people who understand are just a few grains of sand in the huge waves, and they are submerged in a blink of an eye, this is the reality of defeat like a mountain.

The cavalry pursued the infantry, almost without any doubt, although due to the enormity of the entire battlefield. The enemy army that left early was already ten miles away, but the tail had already been caught up by the players of the imperial court camp who had arrived in advance, and although the number of these excited player cavalry was not large, it was more brave and fierce than the troops of Gao Shun and Zhen Xiang.

The enemy troops in front of them deeply stimulated the nerves of these players, as if they were some crazy sharks stimulated by the smell of blood, and these players shouted excitedly. Roaring pursuit, pursuit, pursuit.

And the other player troops, because of the speed of the march. It's a bit difficult to catch up with the Yellow Turban players who are running for their lives from behind, but after knowing the destination of these guys' escape in advance, won't they take a shortcut to intercept them?

It's not a complete plain, it's a low, hilly landscape, with rivers and impassable terrain, so it's perfectly feasible to take a shortcut, but it's just. Now that the first player to flee for their lives is very close to the counties, it is impossible to wipe out all the player troops, and Gao Shun does not want these desperate troops to be wiped out.

Along the way, I don't know if they ran fast, or the pursuers were too slow, in short, when the pursuers saw the head of Zhuxian County, the number of troops and players who fled all the way back from the battlefield actually exceeded 50,000, and there were nearly 30,000 troops who had not had time to enter the city now, and the troops who were annihilated and scattered. Almost 100,000, that is to say, nearly half of the Yellow Turban camp troops fled back, and the proportion of players was even higher, and seventy percent of the players ran back, thanks to the selfishness of each guild to preserve its strength.

"Stop the pursuit, gather troops, count the losses. The horses rested and sorted out the equipment 1

Gao Shun calmly gave the order to stop the pursuit, although Zhen Xiang was a little too excited. After all, he lost a large amount of supplies in his hands, and was chased and intercepted by these Inhuman troops for half the night. If you don't hunt down and kill a few more enemies now, how can you get out of the evil anger in your heart! But when the military order came down, Zhen Xiang also had to restrain his war horse and blow the horn of the assembly!

"Woo~"

The desolate sound of the bull's horn drifted in the blue-gray morning light, the faint mist condensed in the air, and every soldier who had fought all night smelled the moist and cold breath in the dry and hot nasal cavity, which made their fiery minds gradually calm down, and unwillingly looked at the enemy who was swarming towards the east gate of the county, pulled the reins, and turned around in the neighing of the war horses, and gathered towards the banner of the main general.

Some players were still reluctantly pursuing, while others stopped in amazement and looked at the stormy cavalry that had quickly assembled for some reason.

Gao Shun is counting the losses and gains, the results of this chaotic battle are basically impossible to verify, and can only be roughly reported as a number, and Fang Zhiwen has always been very generous in terms of meritorious deeds, which Gao Shun and the soldiers will not doubt, so no one cares about this problem.

As for the very small losses, it is confirmed that less than 1,000 people were killed in the battle, and hundreds of people were left behind and missing, counting the battle losses on Zhen Xiang's side, there were more than 2,000 deaths in total, and if you calculate the battle loss ratio, it is definitely a terrifying number.

Not to improve the Shun side is assembling and repairing, and the players have also gathered their troops one after another and began to form a team and points.

"Why don't you chase after it, and watch a lot of exploits and loot run into the city!?"

"Hehe, after a long time, these people are not people in your eyes, but piles of exploits and loot1

"Haha...... Cut! What a high pretend! Are you fighting for the good of the nation? Hypocrisy 1

"Hehe, it seems that Gao Shun deliberately put the enemy army into the city, I think it is to prepare for the siege of the city! Did any of you bring a ranged weapon? ”

"Trebuchet? With Ah 1

"1 who will definitely attack the city in a while

"If the city is going to be attacked, why should the enemy army be put into the city to replenish the number of defenders? It's not scientific1

"Who said, this is the most scientific! Let me give you a popular science, because the soldiers in this city have to participate in the big battle last night, there are not many remaining troops, and they are all recruits and militiamen with the worst combat effectiveness, the number should be less than 100,000, and now Gao Shun will drive the defeated army into the city with 70,000 or 80,000, assuming that the original morale of the defenders is seventy points, and now the morale of these defeated troops is less than ten, so average, the morale of the defenders in the city is not up to par! When the siege begins, morale will drop, and it is estimated that this city will not be defended at all."

"I see! Fighting a war is really a technical job1

"It was meant to be! Do you think it's manual work? ”

While bragging, the players discussed Gao Shun's intentions, and by the way, they naturally wanted to eat to replenish their physical strength, and naturally, the soldiers of their troops were also resting in place to replenish their physical strength.

Soon Gao Shun's clerk began to issue battlefield missions, and sure enough, it was about to attack the city!

Players with long-range equipment will naturally have to accept long-range strike missions, and players with infantry crossbowmen should not be disappointed, because the main force of this siege is them, and Gao Shun's trap camp can only use Gao Shun's guards as the first troops because they do not carry heavy armor, and the others can only be used as archers.

Gao Shun's layout is very simple, and there is one missing from the three! This method is both simple and practical, especially in view of the current situation in the morale of the defenders in the county towns, and the lack of one of the three can give full play to its power.

Soon the players found that Gao Shun's command ability and command ability are extremely high, and one task after another was quickly released, this kind of task with precise requirements, it looks absolutely fine, and the troops were quickly deployed in place according to Gao Shun's requirements.

The east side will be the focus of the attack, because the main long-range strike force and Gao Shun's advance force are in this direction, and the other two directions are more of a diversion attack, but under the deterrence of tens of thousands of highly powerful cavalry, any direction of containment should not be neglected, otherwise one will be taken advantage of by the enemy if one is not careful.

The morning sun rose slowly and firmly, the defenders on the head of the city could see the enemy battle formation outside the city through the mist, the shadow of defeat had not yet left, and the heart was once again pressed with a huge burden, looking at the cavalry that let themselves quickly rout last night, it turned out to be like this, the black chain mail, the hideous face block, the battle formation that looked sinister, made people's hearts tremble.

"Woohoo! ~”

"Assault cavalry sortie 1

"Boom~"

The cavalry rushed up, and the terrifying muffled thunder seemed to come from the bottom of my heart, and the trembling from the ground and the city wall seemed to directly shake the will of the defenders!

"Shoot ready! Turn, salvo! Put 1

"Woohoo! ~”

The palpitating business sounded again, and the defenders at the head of the city involuntarily squatted down, leaning their bodies against the female wall of the city wall, but the defenders who were standing further back did not have this convenience, and the soldiers who were supposed to hold the shield in front squatted down, and immediately exposed the crossbowmen behind, so the tragedy happened!

"Bastard! The shield soldiers all stand up and put up their shields! Dare to squat down is regarded as cowardice, and immediately cut 1

The rapid cavalry attacked, so that the long-range equipment in the city could not seize the opportunity to strike, while the follow-up infantry and long-range troops were not in a hurry to attack, but just stood from a distance to watch the excitement, seeing the chaos in the city, and the embarrassment of being able to only be beaten but not the cavalry, from time to time there was a burst of cheers that resounded through the sky, which seriously hit the morale of the defenders in the city.

"Ranged troops are not allowed to deploy their equipment at a distance of one hundred paces1

The players of the ranged troops were stunned, this order was a bit strange, but everyone understood when they thought about it, this was to deceive the other party's ranged troops to launch.

"Ranged troops step back 1

"Woo ~ boom"

The attack in the city really came, but it could only hit in the open space, under normal circumstances, the first round of strikes of the long-range troops was a salvo, so there would be a window period for the next time, but Gao Shun did not take this opportunity to push the long-range troops up, but ordered the infantry regiment to assault! To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support, q! ~!
