Chapter 594: Scorched Earth Policy
(The explanation was omitted from the previous chapter.) Now, I would like to add that players who participate in Faction Missions will also be able to get the corresponding Victory Certificates when they kill the troops of the opposing Faction Players, and adventurers will only be able to get the opponent's Exploits when they are killed for the first time. οΌ
Since the war between Gongsun Chan and the Wuhuan tribes escalated to a camp mission, within two days, earth-shaking changes have taken place inside and outside the city of Beiping.
There are players everywhere, and everyone wants to get more benefits in this small faction mission, and the troops sent by the city-level lords have already produced more than five times the combined strength of the two opposing NPC forces!
There are more lord troops, and they are coming in June.
Overall, the players who participated in Gongsun Zhan's camp had more power, accounting for more than sixty percent of the total number of players participating in the battle, and only forty percent of the players responded to Liu Yu's call. However, among the player forces that joined Liu Yu's camp, there were more adventurous gangs, and most of the lord players in Youzhou were not optimistic about Liu Yu's future, everyone knew that before the Battle of the Boundary Bridge, Gongsun Zan was the overlord of Youzhou.
The consequences of the lord player angering Gongsun Chan will be very strict!
The combat effectiveness of adventure players is obviously not comparable to that of the NPC troops mastered by lord players. Judging from the comparison of the combat power of the two camps, the combat power advantage of the Gongsun Chan camp is obvious.
The participation of a large number of player forces has reversed the original military strength comparison between the two sides, and the current Wuhuan coalition army outside Beiping City is still as high as more than 50,000 people, which is quite a considerable number, but in front of a large number of lord player troops, 50,000 people are not worth mentioning at all.
In addition to the disadvantage in terms of troops, the Wuhuan coalition army is also facing a bigger problem: the adults of each tribe are not willing to live under others, and the powerful Wuhuan coalition army has never had a leader with absolute authority, even if it is only temporarily performing the leadership duties.
Even if the battle with the Beiping Army is related to the dignity and glory of all Wuhuan people, and the tribes vow to share their superiority with Gongsun Chan at any cost, the interests of the tribes still exist.
Under such circumstances, the scheduling of the Wuhuan army is inefficient and disorderly!
-- Ah Niu, who came to the camp of the Wuhuan coalition army, after witnessing the situation of the adults of various departments arguing again and again, even suspected that the reason why the Wuhuan army was repeatedly defeated was not necessarily because the Beiping army was too strong, and how could such a force with constant internal friction burst out with strong combat effectiveness?
The reversal of the superiority and disadvantage of the forces and the lack of unity in internal scheduling have cast a shadow on the prospects of the Wuhuan coalition army in this battle, and the Wuhuan tribal coalition army is facing a very unfavorable shape!
Player forces that join the war can easily receive various faction tasks from the military generals stationed in the Beiping Army, including: reconnaissance, ambush, killing ** enemies, burning ordnance, burning grain and grass, raising military rations, and recovering lost territory (only for Gongsun Zhan's camp.) The latter two missions are the same), garrisoning a town, rescuing the attacked town......
As the Gongsun Zhan camp began to gain an advantage in terms of strength, the Beiping army, which had been shrinking its defense, began to gradually regain the lost territory with the help of the troops of the player forces, and strengthened the defense of those towns that had not yet been looted, so as to increase the difficulty of the Wuhuan coalition army to obtain food and grass supplies.
In order to grab more food, the Wuhuan warriors of some tribes ignored strict orders and ran outside the sphere of influence of Gongsun Zhan to loot. This has aroused strong dissatisfaction from other counties, although it has not yet poked out too big a basket for the time being, but if it is not rectified immediately, the consequences will be unimaginable!
The revenge of the Wuhuan coalition against Beiping City actually seemed to many NPCs to have a reason, and many people even privately expressed deep sympathy for their plight. Under such circumstances, the looting of the area under the jurisdiction of Gongsun Chan by the Wuhuan coalition army is barely justified, but their looting of the people in other counties and counties around Beiping will obviously make people's only sympathy for the Wuhuan coalition army disappear.
In three days, Beiping City was still only garrisoned by the elite Beiping army, and Gongsun Zhan seemed to have made up his mind to defend it, and the Beiping army did not take half a step out of the city gate! Gongsun Zhan's camp only sent out all the player troops, leaving not a single soldier of the player, and these player troops were concentrated in carefully selected towns in Beiping.
These towns either had a large amount of grain in stock, or they were transportation hubs of great military value, and the actual control area of the Beiping army was greatly expanded, and the living space of the Wuhuan coalition army was squeezed by YanzhΓ²ng. To complete such a layout, Gongsun Zhan's descendants have not even been dispatched at all.
These arrangements have made the Wuhuan coalition army feel heavy pressure, and the Wuhuan people, who have been accustomed to galloping at will outside the city of Beiping, were shocked to find that the range of their free movement is getting smaller and smaller, like fish trapped in a net.
Hundreds of people rushed to grab food. Basically, it was impossible to gain anything, and even if two or three thousand troops were to be dispatched, there was almost no chance of victory in trying to break through a town guarded by a comparable number of troops. There is no need to make any effort to verify this, and the blood of more than 3,000 Wuhuan men seems to remind everyone not to make unnecessary sacrifices.
Gongsun Zhan's talent in military affairs should not be underestimated!
On the night of the third day after the start of the camp mission, the atmosphere in the big tent of the Wuhuan coalition army was very solemn, and everyone felt a heavy pressure.
This kind of substance, almost suffocating pressure, made the adults of the Wuhuan coalition completely lose their interest in quarreling. The painful lesson made them start to seriously summarize the mistakes they had made before and make corresponding improvements.
The military disadvantage cannot be changed for the time being, but at least they can accomplish one other thing first: elect a temporary alliance leader to be responsible for the command and coordination of the entire Wuhuan coalition army, and the Uwang Lord of the Namu tribe is elected Shun Lì.
The Namu tribe is currently one of the three strong tribes in Wuhuan, and the adult Wuwang is over sixty years old, and is known for his high morality and fairness among the Wuhuan people, so there is almost no suspense about Wuwang's election. Although the Taran tribe is also one of the three powerful clans, Futon's personal prestige among the Wuhuan people is still a little inferior to that of Uwang.
The situation was critical, and no one would be foolish enough to snatch their heads for some petty profits, and the twenty-seven tribal lords made a bloody alliance and vowed to accept the leadership of Uwang completely and completely before the end of the war with the Beiping army.
A Wuhuan coalition army with no internal friction and concerted efforts has finally taken shape!
The first thing Lord Uwang did after taking office as the leader of the alliance was to summon a clansman into the tent and said lightly: "You immediately hurry back to the tribe's location, in addition to leaving the necessary manpower, call all the warriors that the tribe can dispatch, bring as much food as possible, we need more warriors and food!"
Other than that. The tribe no longer had to stay in the grasslands near Youzhou, and let the elders take the tribe to migrate north in search of new pastures. When we're done with this battle, we'll go back and join them. β
Lord Uwang has shown his attitude of fighting to the end with practical actions, and this is an old man worthy of respect. There is no need for anyone to remind them, every tribe lord has made the same arrangement, mobilizing a number of people who can be mobilized to fight to the death with Gongsun Zhan's Beiping army!
The migration of the tribes to new pastures freed the tribes from worries, and they no longer had to worry about the starvation of livestock to death, nor did they have to worry about the safety of the tribesmen who stayed near Beiping, and from now on they could fight the Beiping army wholeheartedly. The Wuhuan tribes have once again increased their troops on a large scale, which also means that the disadvantage in terms of troops is expected to be alleviated.
Seeing that the 27 tribes were all enthusiastically sending troops, Lord Uwang's face showed a look of relief, which was a good start.
Wuwang's majestic gaze glanced at everyone present, except for the adults of the various tribes, Ah Niu was the only player representative who was qualified to attend. This is not only because Fengxiang City is the first lord player to lead his troops to help, nor is it only because of the strength of Fengxiang City, but also because it was Ah Niu's previous proposal to avoid the Wuhuan coalition army from falling into the embarrassing situation of being the enemy of all player forces, and Ah Niu was thus recognized by all Wuhuan tribesmen.
Lord Wuwang's expression was stern, "Our current shape is still grim, although all tribes are willing to do their best for this battle, and there are more warriors of the Wuhuan tribe on the way to converge here, and the strength of the Beiping army is still above us."
The towns held by the Inhuman forces that joined Gongsun Chan made it much more difficult for us to obtain supplies, and they were firmly nailed to the towns and cities in Beiping like nails, and our warriors could no longer be as strong as they had been three days ago. Control the vast majority of Beiping County. If this situation cannot be changed, and if it is allowed to continue, our failure is inevitable!
What can you do about it? β
The tent suddenly fell silent, and the faces of the adults of the tribes were full of two words: helpless.
Because the Beiping army changed its strategy and refused to go out of the city to fight, the Wuhuan coalition army worked in vain. The confrontation in the past three days was actually mainly a battle between the player forces of the two camps.
There are not a few player forces in Liu Yu's camp, and the Wuhuan coalition army has also set up a series of camp tasks for those player forces, but the player strength of Gongsun Zhan's camp already has a clear advantage, and most of them are defended by towns, so that the advantage of the defending side can be maximized. In a few days, the player forces of Liu Yu's camp have made little progress, but they have lost a lot of troops.
This situation made the Wuhuan coalition army at a loss, they were good at field and guerrilla warfare, and siege warfare was never what nomads were good at.
An adult stood up, "Despicable Gongsun Chan has become a turtle with a shrunken head. If we want to gradually exhaust our vigor and food and grass in this way, we should seize the time to attack Beiping City, as long as we can break through Beiping and capture Gongsun Zhan, no matter how many towns those strangers occupy, they can't stop the heroic Wuhuan boy from winning this war! I would like to lead the coalition to attack the city! β
Uwang shook his head, "Courage is commendable, but do we want the warriors of the Wuhuan tribes to ride their horses and leap up to the city?" If we want to set foot on the city of Beiping, we will pay a heavy price, the Beiping army in the head-to-head confrontation with our army is not lagging behind, if we brazenly attack the city, just fell into Gongsun Zhan's tricks! If Gongsun Chan was bent on defending, it would be impossible for us to attack Beiping City. β
The adult sat down in shame, and the other adult said, "Since Gongsun Chan took office as the Taishou of Beiping, he has committed heinous crimes against the Hu people of all races, why don't we ask for help from other ethnic minorities near Youzhou?" β
Wu Wang didn't speak, and Fu Dun had already smiled bitterly: "It is true that most of the Hu people in Youzhou hate Gongsun Zhan bitterly, and many Hu people, including Xianbei, do have the intention to join forces with our Wuhuan tribe and teach the Beiping army a lesson." But judging from the current situation, if other Hu people get involved, wouldn't it just give Gongsun Chan a mouthful, and he will definitely take this opportunity to make a big fuss and distort the righteous actions of our Wuhuan troops against the Beiping Army into a national conflict between the Hu people in the north and the Han people in Youzhou! In that case, not only will it be difficult for Lord Liu Yu to continue to stay out of the matter, but I am afraid that the defenders of other counties and counties in Youzhou will also join forces with the Beiping Army. In that case, we will no longer face the Beiping Army, but all the Han people in Youzhou!
Don't dare to say anything else, Liaodong Taishou Gongsun Du will definitely not stand idly by. β
The adult's face turned red, Gongsun Du had attacked the Wuhuan troops on a large scale last year, and the strength of the Liaodong Army was not much worse than that of the Beiping Army, if the two major forces joined forces, the hope of the Wuhuan coalition army to take revenge would undoubtedly come to naught.
Seeing that no one spoke. Lord Fton coughed and said, "The current battle situation has been introduced into a tough battle that our Wuhuan warriors are not good at. Fengxiang City has encountered many similar situations, I don't know what good construction does the city lord of Ah Niu have? β
Including Lord Wuwang, the eyes of the adults of the Wuhuan tribes suddenly focused on Ah Niu. Ah Niu, who had been silent before, knew that now was not the time to be polite, so he straightened his clothes, stood up, and said to everyone:
"My lords, the nomads are accustomed to field warfare and guerrilla warfare, taking advantage of the strong mobility of the cavalry and taking advantage of the advantages of the degree to choose the opportunity to fight, and this method of warfare often has the upper hand in the battle with the infantry of the Han Chinese; Although the mobility of the Han army was not as good as that of the nomadic cavalry, its strength in terms of position and city defense was by no means beyond the reach of the nomadic cavalry.
Now the Wuhuan tribes are stationed outside the city of Beiping, and the Beiping army has started a positional attack, in fact, it is already a short attack on the other. If the strength of the Wuhuan coalition army is far superior to that of the Beiping army, such a tactic may still have the possibility of victory, but the current situation is just the opposite, the Beiping army is not in a hurry to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with us in the case of superior troops, so why come? β
Without waiting for everyone to answer, Ah Niu continued: "That's because Gongsun Chan knows that the ultimate goal of the Wuhuan coalition army is his Beiping army, and as long as the Beiping army does not leave the city, the Wuhuan coalition army will obediently guard outside the city. The Beiping army can recuperate in the city, and the Wuhuan army outside the city not only has to be busy for supplies, but also has to beware of the Beiping army suddenly leaving the city, or it won't be long before the Wuhuan warriors are not dragged down by supplies, and the morale and sharpness of the coalition army will be exhausted!
This time, the strength of the Inhuman troops who joined Gongsun Zhan's camp was already above our Inhuman troops, and the other party's Inhuman troops still couldn't hold out at this time, but they killed and injured a large number of soldiers of our Inhuman troops through guΓ² defense battles, and when the strength of our Inhumans was consumed to a certain extent, the Inhumans of Gongsun Zhan's camp will definitely wipe out all our Inhuman troops with a thunderous momentum!
In that case, the Wuhuan coalition army would have to fall into a heavy encirclement, and when the counterattack of the Beiping army began, the rout of the coalition army on all fronts was doomed. With all due respect, when that situation occurs, half of the Wuhuan warriors outside Beiping City can return to the prairie alive! β
Lord Wuwang's face changed drastically, although it was a little difficult to accept, but he knew that what Ah Niu said was likely to be true, "Is there no way to resolve it?" Now that the Lord of Aniu City has seen the stakes, he must have made up his mind, right? β
Ah Niu smiled, "It's not difficult to avoid that situation, as long as the Wuhuan coalition army retreats from outside Beiping City." β
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the camp, and the large number of tribesmen present were furious.
"Retirement? No way! β
"Could it be that the blood of our tens of thousands of Wuhuan men is shed in vain?"
"Before Gongsun Chan is broken, we will never retreat!"
Lord Futon lowered his head and pondered, Lord Wuwang's eyes flashed, and he waved his hand to all the adults and said: "Don't be impatient, everyone, Fengxiang City is here to help our Wuhuan people's friends, since Lord Aniu City has put forward such an idea, he must have already made a full plan, and it is not too late to listen to him." β
After the tent had calmed down, Lord Uwang made a gesture to Ah Niu.
Ah Niu nodded at Wuwang and said lightly: "I built the Wuhuan coalition army to retreat from outside Beiping City, which does not mean that the Wuhuan clan should give up the battle with the Beiping army. β
"What's the explanation?"
Gongsun Chan hoped to use the Beiping army as a bait to tie the Wuhuan coalition army firmly outside the city of Beiping, and so far, his plan has been successful. However, what if all the Wuhuan coalition forces outside Beiping suddenly withdraw, and together with the Inhuman forces in our camp, temporarily change the combat target to towns outside Beiping? Ah Niu laughed.
Some of the more shrewd people in Lord Wuhuan had vaguely guessed what Ah Niu meant at this time, and Lord Wuwang and Lord Futon's eyes lit up.
Fton slapped his leg hard and said, "Not bad! Gongsun Chan wanted us to be trapped outside the city of Beiping, but we did not obey his wishes, and took advantage of the Beiping army's refusal to fight, first joined our Inhuman troops to sweep away those towns with low defense and relatively weak garrison strength one by one. In this way, not only can the supply of troops be better completed, but also the Inhuman forces in the Beiping Army camp will be severely damaged! β
If you just let the player forces of the two camps fight, the player forces of Liu Yu's camp are by no means the opponent of Gongsun Zhan's forces, but after the more than 50,000 cavalry troops of Wuhuan participated in the battle, the balance of victory and defeat will obviously be tilted, and the victory of local wars will be won again and again, so as to gradually reverse the military disadvantage of the Wuhuan coalition army.
More than 50,000 Wuhuan cavalry are even enough to split into several or more than a dozen troops to fight at the same time against the weak strongholds within the control of the Beiping Army!
If the main force of Gongsun Zhan's Beiping Army still refuses to fight, and sits back and watches the player army of this camp be wiped out one by one by the enemy with superior strength, the player forces of Gongsun Zhan's camp will be chilled, and no one wants to serve such a person.
However, the steady Lord Lu Wang still raised his worries, "Gongsun Chan is not only easy to kill, but also selfish by nature, the elimination of those alien troops will not cause his Beiping army to suffer losses, and the Beiping army may still not be able to hold out!" β
Ah Niu was confident about this, and said lightly: "Yes, just doing something to the Inhuman army may not be able to make Gongsun Chan leave his comfort zone." However, if every time we break through a town, we will destroy all the buildings in the town, loot all the materials, and take all the people away and hand them over to Youzhou Mu Liu Yu for resettlement, so that the Beiping Army's sphere of influence will be scorched everywhere, and fundamentally shake the foundation of the Beiping Army?
If Gongsun Chan can still bear not to send troops, it would be a strange thing! β
When a large number of villages and towns in Beiping become a scorched earth, and a large number of people, craftsmen, and wealth are plundered, Gongsun Chan will completely lose the capital to dominate Youzhou and dominate the country.
This is the so-called "scorched earth policy"!
The Wuhuan adults present couldn't help but gasp, looking at the gaze of a certain city lord, they already had a little bit of awe, "This guy is inevitably too ruthless, no wonder the Yellow Turban Army and Yuan Shu have suffered a lot from Fengxiang City......"
Ah Niu was well aware of these strange gazes, but Fengxiang City, which had already been involved in this war, had no choice but to help the Wuhuan coalition army win the war as much as possible.
The war is cruel, the war brings ruin, and the Wuhuan coalition army is required to hand over the captured people of Beiping to Liu Yu for resettlement, instead of killing them on the spot, which is already the limit of what Ah Niu can do! (To be continued)
