Chapter 402: Dongshi Goes to War
Compared with the menacing arrival of the official army, the rebel side is much easier to deal with, at least with the current preparedness of Taoyuan Town, there should still be some hope just to deal with the soldiers and horses all the way.
It's just that the attack of the official army is insoluble for now.
Therefore, Wang Hao had to discuss with Li Jiayi on the way out.
Seriously, Wang Hao has never considered giving up Taoyuan Town, which has been the hard work of him and his partners for nearly a year! Whenever there was any possibility, he would never think of giving up Taoyuan Town. However, in the current situation, he had to make such a consideration.
In the final analysis, people are more important, as long as people live and survive this most difficult period, and when they recover the ability to resurrect, they still have a chance to make a comeback, and it is not impossible to take Taoyuan Town back when the time comes.
"If you want to take so many people away, I guess it's easy to catch up!" Li Jiayi said after listening to Wang Hao's thoughts.
"What's the solution! Can I leave them behind and run on my own? Can I watch them being killed by the natives? Wang Hao's emotions were a little excited, and the reason for his excitement was not because what Li Jiayi said was wrong, but because what Li Jiayi said was exactly right.
He himself knew that if only a few of them withdrew, they would easily survive this time by hiding wherever they wanted, and if they had to take thousands of people with them, even if they were replaced by Mu Bo, there would be no way to guarantee the safety of these people, and they would still be caught up and killed in the end.
However, let him make the decision to abandon them. He just couldn't do it.
So, at this point, there is really no way for the conversation between the two to continue. Although Li Jiayi was anxious, she also knew that Wang Hao needed some time to think about it. However, before Wang Hao figured it out, Li Jiayi felt that she should make some preparations first.
The speed of the rebels' march this time was obviously faster than the last time, and the last time they considered waiting for the officers and troops to launch an attack together, this time the officers and troops did not take the land route, and the speed of the rebels' attack was raised. This time, it is no longer Mai Dashuai who is in charge of the troops. The last attack failed, and although some face was saved by storming the officers and troops, the overall battle goal was not achieved. This attack was inevitable for the rebels. Therefore, General He Manhe, who has been stationed in Zhongwan County, personally went out.
The speed of the rebels' march is also very related to General He's personal command of the troops, his temperament is more anxious, his style of commanding troops is in a hurry, and he believes that attack is the best defense. This is completely different from Mecca.
Therefore. To Wang Hao's surprise, before he returned to the town, the rebel army had already marched towards Meilin Town.
After capturing Meilin Town before, Wang Hao did not send a large army to defend Meilin Town. At that time, the main purpose of attacking Merlin Town was to confuse the aboriginal forces and convey a wrong impression to them, so as to buy themselves a certain amount of time, so only some necessary manpower guards were left in Merlin Town, which was no different from the empty city.
According to Wang Hao's instructions. As soon as the rebel army reached the city, those who remained behind abandoned the city and fled. This was a bit of a surprise to Homan.
As a result, the entire Taoyuan Town was rumored for a while, and the first few villages suddenly had a fluctuating situation. Although I knew that the rebels were coming, when I really came to the front of me, the psychological feeling was completely different. Most players have never experienced any major battles, and if they could be resurrected before, they might be able to go into battle with a curious mentality, but now when they think of really dying, their legs suddenly become weak.
Before the enemy arrived, some of the newly recruited soldiers were thinking of becoming deserters.
Wang Hao and Li Jiayi had already foreseen such a situation before, and had already issued a death order to each village, once the enemy arrived, the villages would immediately enter full alert, all the city gates were closed, no one was allowed to enter without an order, if anyone wanted to be a deserter, they would be killed immediately!
According to such an order, most players will inevitably die in the battle, but there is no way to do it. In order to give most people a chance to survive, someone has to sacrifice for it. In fact, if you can't resolutely resist, once the rebels are allowed to kill in Taoyuan Town with impunity, more people will die.
Of course, all this is based on only resisting the attack of the rebels, if you count the officers and troops coming from the waterway, it is really as Li Jiayi said directly, it is better to consider retreating as soon as possible!
The rebels once again used the town of Merlin as an outpost for the attack on Taoyuan Town, and after only one night of rest in the town of Merlin, they sent a large army to attack.
Now in Taoyuan Town, every village has a city wall, although He Man's offensive style is more aggressive, but the rebels have suffered many losses in the hands of Taoyuan Town, and they don't dare to fight hard. It seems that those villages may be closed, but if He Man dares to lead a large army to drive straight in and directly attack Taoyuan Town, it is very likely that he will be surrounded by the troops swarming from various villages, and he will be passive at that time. He Man, who had an army of 100,000, chose the tactics of breaking through one by one and advancing layer by layer, and the first target was Dongshi Village.
As a bridgehead to defend against the invading enemies of Merlin Town, Dongshi Village was the focus of consideration when distributing the players who defected at the beginning, and there are currently more than 30,000 players stationed in Dongshi Village! Although at first glance, the number of people is only one-third of that of the rebels, for a small city like Dongshi Village, 30,000 people defending the city wall can basically be regarded as airtight. Of course, this is also theoretical, and it is really not clear how much combat effectiveness these players who have been in the army for less than half a month can really play when they really fight.
Whether it is Li Jiayi who is sitting in this town or Wang Hao who is still on the road, they are all paying attention to the situation of the first battle of this battle.
What was beyond their expectations was that as soon as they fought, the players on the city wall showed a posture of being ready to collapse at any time, and they thought that they would be able to support at least a while, but they didn't expect that the enemy army had not yet attacked the city wall, and just by relying on the suppression of catapults and archers, the players wanted to escape from the city wall crying.
The head of Dongshi Village decisively ordered, anyone who dared to retreat to the city, directly killed without mercy, and immediately killed a few guys who ran faster, and the player saw that he was actually moving, and stopped a little, and waited for the enemy army under the city to rush over one by one.
