Chapter 128: Striking Similarity
Under the starry night, the cold yin wind howled, bringing a biting chill, but it could not extinguish the fire of war in Bowang City.
The battle for Bowang is a real battle, the fierceness of the two armies is absolutely unprecedented, the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng completely fills the height of the city wall with human lives, and shakes the thickness of the city wall with flesh and blood, and the Jingzhou Han army under the jurisdiction of Cai Mao is the wall, swearing to stick to the city wall.
Especially Leng Ye, the elite player who led the Night Guild in the first place, risked his life to fight on the front line.
The pressure he was under was unprecedented, and it could be said that whether Bo Wang could hold on until Wu Han's return was all up to Leng Ye alone.
Because in the battle, the leaders of the two armies, Cai Mao and Zhang Mancheng, restrained each other, and the two of them were both at the bottom of the three-star rank, so it was difficult to quickly distinguish between the superior and the inferior, and their respective lieutenants and military divisions were all equal in strength, and no one could help anyone.
Therefore, in the case of mutual checks and balances, the influence of the plot characters and the role of the generals are weakened to the freezing point, and the strength of the players and NPC soldiers is highlighted.
But in terms of NPC troops, the Han army is far inferior to the Yellow Turban Army, of course, the individual strength of the NPCs of the two armies is not much different, the personal surnames of the Yellow Turban soldiers and the Han soldiers are basically the same, the gap between the two armies is in terms of numbers, morale, equipment and logistics, any of the above Han troops are inferior to the Yellow Turban Army, it can be said that they are at an overall disadvantage, and they are naturally invincible.
Even if he is unwilling, Leng Ye must admit that there is a huge gap between the two armies, which is even enough for the Yellow Turban Army to dare to attack the city arrogantly, which shows how huge it is.
Leng Ye knows very well that city warfare is definitely easy to defend and difficult to attack!
In history, Cao Ren is good at guarding and often sits in the rear for Cao Ying, but Cao Ren is actually good at only one thing, that is, to defend to the death, as long as the situation is more critical, even if the enemy army is twice as large as his own army, Cao Ren can defend it.
Thinking that Liu Bei was king in Hanzhong, Guan Yu sent troops to Fancheng in response to Liu Bei, captured the ban, and beheaded Pang De, no one could stop him, but he still failed to capture Fancheng, which Cao Ren was defending.
Among them, it may be because of Cao Ren's personal ability, but the most important thing is that it is not easy to attack the city, and if you want to take down a fortified city with heavy guards, you not only need to crush the strength, but also have to pay an extremely expensive price.
In history, the Yellow Turban Army generally trapped in a lonely city and never took the initiative to attack, because they lacked the strength to attack fortifications.
And now the Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng still dares to offend Bowang of the Han Army's main force after swallowing Nanyang, and the contrast between the two undoubtedly highlights the strength of the Yellow Turban Army in Nanyang.
They're strong enough to launch a tough battle and have the confidence to take it!
The gap between the NPC armies of the two armies is so huge, if it weren't for the existence of player forces, maybe the Han army would have collapsed long ago, and Leng Ye, as the leader of the Night Guild, his power is no less than that of the Hero Guild.
Although the overall strength of players is still not as good as that of NPC armies, they also have the advantage that players will not be affected by other factors such as morale, and can maximize their strength without fear of death.
The Night Guild is a force in reality, and the players in it are all on Leng Ye's salary, so they naturally have to work hard for Leng Ye.
In other words, as long as Leng Ye still holds on, they will not retreat, but if Leng Ye is killed, the Han army will inevitably be defeated.
Hold on!
Leng Ye naturally won't retreat, and he can't retreat, so he can only hold on.
Therefore, the pressure on his shoulders is enormous, not only must he live, but also have to take the lead and fight on the front line, which is extremely contradictory, like walking a tightrope, the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe.
When Leng Ye had to do this.
However, human potential is amazing, and it can burst out with unimaginable power in the face of adversity, especially in the case of conviction, as an elite in reality, Leng Ye is naturally able to resist pressure and stimulate potential.
Although his outburst was not to defeat the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army by himself, it was almost the same, because Leng Ye dragged the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army with his own strength.
And what Leng Ye relies on is not strength but power, the Night Guild he owns, among which there are thousands of players.
Under Leng Ye's hard support, the outbreak of the Dark Night Guild made up for the slight gap between the NPC armies of the two armies, and the two sides entered a brutal war of attrition, so that although the Yellow Turban Army had a huge advantage, it could not win Bowang in a short period of time.
Combined with the situation in Luoyang and Nanyang, it is not difficult to find that the current situation can almost be said to be a repeat of the battle of Fancheng in history!
The cause of the Battle of Fancheng in history is very complex, but Liu Bei's claim to be the king in Hanzhong is definitely a major factor, and the current Battle of Bowang is caused by the Heroes Guild's vain attempt to kill the emperor.
After Liu Bei became queen, Guan Yu then sent troops to Fancheng, and the Heroes Guild pushed Zhang Mancheng's troops into Luoyang before the emperor killing began.
During this period, Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army and captured the ban, beheaded Pang De, and trapped Cao Ren, while Zhang Mancheng swallowed Nanyang and looked at Bowang.
In the end, in history, Guan Yu attacked Fancheng, but under Cao Ren's desperate resistance, he was attacked by Jiangdong and fell into a dilemma, and finally faced Xu Huang's counterattack and defeated Maicheng.
Now, although Zhang Mancheng did not end up in the same fate as Guan Yu, under Leng Ye's stubborn resistance, he failed to win Bowang like a bamboo, but entered a protracted battle.
Leng Ye is Cao Ren, Wu Han is Xu Huang, as long as Leng Ye can hold out until Wu Han arrives, then Zhang Mancheng will inevitably be defeated like Guan Yu.
Of course, the premise is that Leng Ye can hold Bowang, even if it's only for a moment!
Boom!!
As the battle progressed, I don't know how long later, the outside of Bowang City was covered with a thick layer of corpses, the ground and the city walls were eroded by blood, and Yin Red became fragile, so that the entire city continued to shake under the killing cries of the two armies, trembling as if a landslide.
This is a sign that the durability of the city wall has finally reached its limit under the impact of the Yellow Turban Army, and it will soon collapse.
And this means the defeat of the war, because of the loss of Bowang City, the Han army will lose the wall and be forced to fight in the field, and the siege war is at a disadvantage, and they need to be defended, and they are the opponents of the Yellow Turban Army in the field.
"Kill !!"
After noticing the strangeness of the city wall, Zhang Mancheng, who was being restrained by Cai Mao, immediately showed joy, hurriedly pulled out the sword at his waist, and shouted loudly at the front of the sword.
A red wave of light immediately radiated from Zhang Mancheng as the center, enveloping the entire Yellow Turban Army officers and soldiers, making their declining momentum immediately climb to the peak, and one by one, as if enchanted, they shook the city wall with their bodies without fear of death.
Bowangcheng has reached the end of the crossbow, and Zhang Mancheng's actions are like the last straw that crushes the camel.
Absolutely deadly!
"Wu Zheng!"
Seeing this situation, Leng Ye, who was frantically fighting against the Yellow Turban Army by the city wall, couldn't help but have bloodshot eyes, and after struggling to kill the enemy in front of him, he couldn't help but grit his teeth and roar in his heart.
Leng Ye knew that he would not be able to hold on any longer, if Wu Han did not appear again, even if he was unwilling, he could only accept defeat, and once he failed, Cai Mao would be killed or captured, even if Wu Han later wiped out the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army, Leng Ye and the others' clan mission would also fail.
"Roar!"
Just when the situation was precarious, the soldiers of the two armies who were fighting suddenly heard a deafening roar from a distance, which overshadowed the killing cries of the entire battlefield, causing everyone to involuntarily stop attacking and turn their heads to look at the source of the sound.
Under the gaze of the soldiers of the two armies, at the end of their field of vision, a figure suddenly appeared, a huge lion-shaped giant beast was speeding towards it at the speed of the wind.
Above the beast's head, a vague figure loomed......
