Chapter 158: Praying Mantis
Wang Yun frowned, and he asked in a tone of disbelief, "He Man, what you said is true?" Besides you, is there anyone else following behind the Yellow Turbans? ”
When He Yi and Zeng Hong beside Wang Yun heard Wang Yun's words, they were stunned, and then looked at each other. What's going on?
Although he was a little puzzled, Wang Yun reacted immediately, he understood that now was not the time to ask, and he immediately transmitted the message to He Man again: "He Man, pay attention, don't make any moves first, try not to let people find you, wait for me to go over and take a look." ”
Wang Yun didn't have time to explain to He Yi and Zeng Hong, and told them to be on standby, so he rode on the 'Huamei' and galloped towards the southeast.
"Look, lord, it's him." After Wang Yun found He Man, He Man didn't talk nonsense, although he was a little straight-headed, he also knew that this situation was too abnormal now, and it was the top priority for Yunzhai to figure out this side of the force.
Wang Yun followed He Man's finger and looked over, on the other side, there was indeed a military general riding a horse and following the Yellow Turban Army's marching team far away. It's just that his method of following is too simple, and even the basic method of stealth tracking is useless, and it seems that he has a lot of confidence in himself
After carefully observing for a while, Wang Yun felt that the other party was actually a fifth-order general! The fifth-order generals are already good, at least much more powerful than He Man. Moreover, Wang Yun is still a little familiar with this person, and he doesn't know why.
Wang Yun thought about it, and he didn't think of who this person was, but this did not affect Wang Yun's judgment. If you can't think of this person, forget it. However, the origin of this man must be understood!
"He Man, you pay attention to him, just follow slowly, don't be discovered by him. I'm going to find out what kind of force he belongs to, hehe, I want to take the tiger's mouth, I don't know if they have the strength! Wang Yun no longer paid attention to the overly obvious stalking general in front of him, said a word to He Man, and then rode to the southeast area.
Very simply, Wang Yun discovered the enemy's army. Well, the reason why Wang Yun discovered them so easily was because they were too unrestrained. Not only did the spies in front of them who were responsible for tracking the enemy not lurk, but their large forces did not have any scruples at all.
Dodging the enemy's probe horses, Wang Yun soon saw the enemy's main force. I don't know if I don't look at it, I really jumped off Wang Yun when I saw it! There are really too many people on the other side!
There were more than 2,000 Yellow Turban troops and more than 1,500 horse dealers, which already made Wang Yun feel pressure, because he only had 500 cavalry. And now looking at the other party's manpower, there are obviously four or five thousand people! This, if Wang Yun didn't feel pressure, it would be really strange!
Although, Wang Yun saw that the other party seemed to be a player unit, but the player was not synonymous with low strength. The player's single combat power is not weak, and even better than most of the aboriginal soldiers, but the player's discipline is relatively poor, and the cooperation is not very skilled, so it seems that they are not strong.
But as long as you have seen the player legion battle in the player's first organization "Huaxia", then you will definitely not dare to underestimate these players! "Huaxia" is worthy of being recognized by most players as the number one player force, and the players among them are highly disciplined, and their cooperation is similar to that of ordinary aboriginal soldiers, and even more skilled than the aboriginal cooperation. In this way, players who are generally zero-level generals can exert their combat power, even compared with ordinary special troops!
Of course, Wang Yun didn't believe that the team of players and aborigines in front of him would have such strong combat effectiveness, but the current players are definitely not comparable to those cubs who have not adapted to the "Second World" mode a year ago. Now no matter what the players do, the combat power of a single player is definitely more than that of elite soldiers! These 5,000 soldiers, although not all of them are players, but their combat effectiveness is far superior to that of the soldiers in Yunzhai! Maybe even more powerful than the Yellow Turbans!
The marching speed of the 5,000-player army, uh, is far worse than that of the Yellow Turbans. They marched at almost turtle speed, that is, slightly faster than the average populace. This is the sequelae of low military discipline, military discipline is scattered, and the marching speed of the army is bound to be low.
Wang Yun estimated it and found that it would take at least five days for these people to reach Hushuiping, because it was more than fifty miles away from the Yellow Turban Army, and the Yellow Turban Army was thirty or forty miles away from Hushuiping. Wang Yun thought about it for a while, and a smile appeared on his face. The praying mantis that catches cicadas is not so easy to do, but the yellow finch behind you is ready, you have to hurry up!
"He Man, don't observe each other anymore, let's just go back and wait." Wang Yun quietly moved away from the 'praying mantis', and then returned to his base.
"My lord." He Yi looked at Wang Yun with curiosity on his face.
Wang Yun waved his hand and said, "No need to ask, there is indeed another force, but it is not easy to explain to you." We'll know in a few days, and we'll just watch. ”
Early the next morning, Wang Yun received a message from Hu Da. The Yellow Turbans have begun to attack the water!
"Zeng Hong, He Yi, let's go over and have a look. Now that things are more complicated, we should look into it. Let's see what the three of them can do. ”
Wang Yun took He Yi and Zeng Hong, and the three of them rode their respective war horses and headed towards the side of the water flat.
Wang Yun and the others left their horses in a nearby wood, and then walked to the place where the two sides were fighting. When tailgating and probing, it is naturally more advantageous to ride a horse, but it is easier to hide a single person without a war horse for this kind of observation.
"Kill! Yellow Turban child, treachery! Kill! ”
"Horse dealers are ruthless, and there is no distinction between right and wrong! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Wang Yun and the four of them had not yet arrived at the reserved ambush observation site, and the shouts of killing from both sides had already been heard. Just by listening to this voice, one can imagine the intensity of the battle between the two sides.
And when Wang Yun and the others found a high ground and looked at the battlefield, they were indeed a tragic scene in front of them.
The two sides are engaged in an authentic siege battle! The Yellow Turbans were the besieging party, while the horse dealers in Hushuiping were the defenders.
It is not large, less than one square kilometer, and its population is not large, probably tens of thousands of people. However, its defensive structure is not simple, and it can be seen that the steppe people still attach great importance to such a base. Therefore, the defensive structure of the water flat is completely according to the specifications of the small city, the height of the city is five meters, and the width is unknown. And because of the small area, Hushuiping is a war fort in general!
The Yellow Turban Army obviously did not prepare siege equipment, but because of the important role of the Huanshuiping, they were determined to win the Huanshuiping. Therefore, they can only build the simplest kind of ladder and attack.
The Yellow Turbans shouted loudly and attacked along the ladder to the water. However, the ladder, which is a very low-end siege equipment, is obviously not very useful. Although there were few soldiers on the water flat, by guarding the ladder and pushing it to the ladder, the Yellow Turban Army did not advance an inch.
There don't seem to be many archers on both sides, and the hundreds of arrows flying on both sides can't play a key role in the attack and defense of both sides.
On the battlefield, blood splattered, and there may not be many severed arms and stumps, but there are already pieces of blood under the city. As for the casualties, it was even more heavy, especially the attacking Yellow Turban Army, just the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army carried out from under the city wall, there were as many as two or three hundred people! And there are many who have suffered minor injuries and retreated.
Wang Yun can be regarded as having been on the battlefield for a long time, but suddenly seeing such a tragic scene still makes him feel a little. War has always been cruel.
In this battle, the two sides fought until dusk, and even at noon, until the sun completely set, and the two sides took precautions and collected their troops.
Wang Yun, a horse dealer in the city, didn't know what state it was, but he could still see the state of the Yellow Turban Army after a day of fighting. After a day of fighting, the Yellow Turbans were visibly tired, and there was little movement in the entire barracks except for the soldiers who were keeping vigil.
The next day, the two sides did not fight again, and it seemed that the first day consumed too much of their physical strength, leaving them in no mood to fight again. After the two sides scolded each other for a while, there was no movement, which made Wang Yun and the four people who were waiting on the side a little disappointed.
On the third day, the two sides continued to fight, which was equally fierce, but it could no longer make Wang Yun feel anything. Fighting, violence, blood, watching too much, getting used to it. However, at the end of the day, the two sides were killed and injured again, but compared to the first day, Wang Yun was a little confused.
"Ah Da, two days ago, did those war horses enter the water flat?" Wang Yun turned his head and asked Hu Da behind him.
"No, my lord." Hu Da didn't know what Wang Yun was asking, but he still answered truthfully.
"None? So the number of archers in Huanshuiping is understandable, but what have they been doing in the past three days? There's a fight here, aren't they worried? They don't seem to be around here! Wang Yun was a little puzzled, the Yellow Turban Army did not use the trump card of the Yellow Turban Force, and it was understandable, but the horse dealers did not use their main force, the light cavalry, what did they want to do? Do they think that they can resist the Yellow Turban Army by relying only on the water flat?
Wang Yun frowned, looking at the Yellow Turban camp with a flickering fire in front of him, thinking about it carefully, it seemed that the behavior of the Yellow Turban Army was also slightly wrong. Is there only a hundred archers in the 2,000-strong Yellow Turban Army? That's not right, right? Moreover, why do they always take back the corpses under the city walls, it seems that no one has done it!
There's definitely something wrong with both of them! Wang Yun's brows furrowed slowly. Think about the general behind the Yellow Turban Army, did they also find something? In that case, that's fun!
