Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
In fact, the White House Boyu also thinks so, but he is unwilling to bear the consequences caused by the withdrawal of troops alone. He knew very well that it was not possible to capture Meiyang City in a few days, and without the support base of Hanxing City, the people who were resurrected from the battle and came from the rear would not be able to come outside Meiyang City.
According to his estimates, it only took more than ten minutes for this high-level carrier pigeon to fly here from Hanxing City, so Hanxing City should be safe now. The only thing that made him a little suspicious was how long the army he left behind in Hanxing City would be able to hold out. Because even if you rush the march from here, it will take at least ten hours to return to Hanxing City. But even if the time is too late, he has to lead the army back.
Beigong Boyu immediately ordered the army to pull out the camp, and then evacuated westward in an orderly manner.
At this time, those rebel players were also dumbfounded, which one is this singing? Now his own morale is like a rainbow, this Beigong Boyu not only did not order the siege of the city, but let the army retreat! And not only the NPC army has to withdraw according to the order, but even the player is asked to withdraw together.
However, some of the player legion leaders found some news from some NPC generals, that is, Hanxing City was attacked. When they first heard the news, they didn't believe it at all, but they knew that they weren't joking by looking at each other's stern expressions.
You must know that this is the time when the defense of Hanxing City is the emptiest, and among the millions of players, there are less than 10,000 people left in Hanxing City, and these people are still delayed because of various things. And the NPC army only left about 200,000 fourth- and fifth-order troops. This amount is enough in the usual defense of the city, as long as it does not encounter too strong troops, it is still enough to defend for a day or two. But now they heard that the other party did not attack the city at all, but went directly into the city.
The leaders of the players were very annoyed, because their previous plan was to leave some people to defend Hanxing City, because the dispute that broke out on the forum made them hot-headed, and they also thought that it was unlikely that the imperial army would attack Hanxing City. Under this kind of luck mentality, they basically dispatched the whole army, just to fight for that breath.
At this moment, they seemed to have some understanding in their hearts. This forum dispute may have been premeditated, and its purpose was to lure out all the players in Hanxing City, so that the city's defenses could reach the emptiest level. This makes it easier to take the city. And it can be seen from this incident that many people on their side were sent by the imperial court camp to stir up the situation, but they don't know who it is. Who can find a mole among tens of millions of players?
Now although these player clan leaders know the news, they don't dare to spread it on a large scale, after all, this has a very big impact on the morale of the army. And when these troops returned to Hanxing City and saw the facts in front of them for themselves, they did not have time to worry, but directly turned into indignation and launched a frenzied attack on the city.
With the assistance of these player leaders. All the players also followed the Beigong Boyu army and headed west. The speed was much faster than when they arrived, and they didn't want to wait for the other party to occupy Hanxing City before taking it back.
However, the reality is often cruel, and Beigong Boyu led the army to walk for more than two hours. I sensed that Hanxing City had been breached. In less than ten minutes, he received another carrier pigeon, which had been sent to him by his cronies, and it stated the strength of the other party. According to incomplete estimates, the number of the opposing army is around 200,000, and the strength is extremely strong.
Beigong Boyu's face darkened. Without a sound, he tore the letterhead to shreds. However, although he was extremely angry on his face, he was secretly planning in his heart. If the other party only has more than 200,000 people, even if it is strong, it is impossible to clear the entire city in the first place, and the chance of retaking Hanxing City by himself is still very high. However, since this city has been occupied by the imperial forces, the other party will inevitably send a large number of troops to strengthen the defense at the first time, which undoubtedly increases the difficulty.
After a while, Beigong Boyu ordered the soldiers to send out two carrier pigeons, one of which was issued to Bian Zhang, so that he could speed up his march and quickly rush to Meiyang City to attack it, so that the army of Meiyang City could not support the invaders of Hanxing City. The other carrier pigeon was sent to Han Sui, informing him of the situation here, and asking the other party to quickly rush to the front line and participate in the battle against the imperial army.
After the carrier pigeon was released, Beigong Boyu continued to lead the army forward.
……
Bian Zhang, who was hundreds of kilometers away, was also anxious at the moment, he had not yet been able to rush back to Chencang City, and his army had been harassed too much along the way, and at least tens of thousands of troops had been buried on this hundreds of kilometers of march.
When he received the carrier pigeon from Beigong Boyu, he knew that something might not be good. If Beigong Boyu had received his letter last night, he should have returned to Hanxing City, and even if he didn't return, he would have reminded the defenders of Hanxing City to take strict precautions, and he would not end up in the current position. In this way, it seems that the carrier pigeon he released before has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so that Beigong Boyu has no idea about the situation of someone attacking Chen Cang.
At the same time, he guessed that this Zhang Wen sent troops to attack Chen Cangcheng, perhaps it was also a suspicious strategy, and its main purpose was to take Hanxing City. It can be said that now the other party's purpose has been achieved. What he can do now is how to save it and see if he can recapture Hanxing City.
However, he couldn't fully support Beigong Boyu now, and he didn't dare to go over to support, although he had basically determined that the other party's main purpose was Hanxing City. But if he doesn't return to the division to defend Chencang, the other party will definitely not mind taking the city of Chencang in one go. At that time, he and Beigong Boyu will really be the turtle in the urn.
Bian Zhang immediately sent a letter back to Beigong Boyu, saying that a large imperial army was rushing to Chencang, and he was now returning to the division to rescue. At the same time, he once again explained the situation last night to Beigong Boyu.
……
After Beigong Boyu received the letter again, he let go of some in his heart. The purpose of his letter to Bian Zhang was to let him hold back the army of Meiyang City, since the other party was now attacking the two cities of Chencang and Hanxing at the same time, the troops were naturally dispersed, and they still had to defend the three cities of Meiyang, Xinping, and Fufeng, and the troops that could be transferred to Hanxing City were even less.
If Beigong Boyu knew that Bian Zhang's side didn't figure out how many soldiers and horses the other party had, his so-called huge army was just speculation, just to not show his incompetence in front of the other party, he didn't figure out the scale of the enemy in one day.
……
At this moment, Yang Tian was standing in the central square of Hanxing City, looking at the dense crowd of people in front of him, he was extremely happy in his heart.
In fact, it didn't take much time for Yang Tian to occupy Hanxing City, he rode the golden eagle alone and landed in Hanxing City, and almost instantly released Tai Shici and his Yanlong Legion, these guys were like tigers out of the box, crazy scattered in the city, and at the same time, Yang Tian released the Blue Dragon Legion and the White Tiger Legion. In front of the powerful White Cloud City army, the remaining player army was quickly slaughtered, or directly chose to go offline, and those NPC troops chose to surrender after nearly half of them were killed or wounded.
After occupying Hanxing City, he did not immediately open the teleportation array, but asked people to gather the people of the entire Hanxing City and the surrendered army to the central square of the city, and then through guò threats, these people were loaded into the Xuanji Ring in batches, and then directly teleported back to Zhenhai City.
Although no arrangements were made before, after receiving the order, Dong Ming immediately asked the captain of Wangtian City to lead the troops to receive the people brought by Yang Tian, and as for the subsequent arrangements, it was natural to assign these people to various cities or towns to digest them. With such a large area, the extra population is just a drop in the bucket for it.
Yang Tian went back and forth eight times, and each time he transported nearly 300,000 people, and because of his practice, Hanxing City directly became an empty city, and Yang Tian directly added more than two million people to the territory.
After two hours of occupation of Hanxing City, Yang Tian finally opened the teleportation array, and after a short arrangement, the entire Hanxing City was already in shambles.
Zhang Wen teleported over with the army at the first time, and when he saw Yang Tian standing next to the teleportation array to greet him, he immediately ordered a subordinate general to lead his troops to quickly climb the city wall and start arranging defenses.
And Zhang Wen patted Yang Tian on the shoulder and laughed: "General Sunshine really lives up to his reputation!" In just half a day, Hanxing City was taken, which can be described as an outstanding achievement! This official has drafted a chapter and is ready to report to the imperial court to ask for credit for General Sunshine! ”
Yang Tian sighed and said, "Brother's words make the lower officials embarrassed!" Although I took Hanxing City, I was unable to save the people who left the city. Right now...... Ay! ”
Zhang Wen smiled and said, "General Sunshine, you are too merciful!" The people of Hanxing City are helping to abuse, even if you save them all, you need to find a large number of people to behead the public to set an example! Now that these people are dead, they are still their creation, and they don't have to bear the reputation of a chaotic party after they die! …… Not to mention these people, it is not a pity for these people to die, but General Sunshine has nothing to lose in this battle? ”
Yang Tian first looked very sad, and said: "The loss is indeed not small, although the strength of these rebels is not strong, but they are not afraid of death when they fight, and there are many of them, the number of dead and wounded in my army is not less than forty or fifty thousand." However, if they were able to take Hanxing City, they could be said to have died well, and the points earned in this battle were enough for them to be resurrected. So in general, we are sure to make a profit. After all, there is still something in the warehouse of this Hanxing City. ”
When Zhang Wen heard this, he was relieved, he still pinned most of his hopes for defending the city on Yang Tian's elite army, if the previous losses were too great, the rest of the things were really difficult to handle. As for the little thing that Yang Tian said in the warehouse of Hanxing City, he didn't care very much, even if he cared, he didn't bother to ask Yang Tian for it. It can be said that the capture of Hanxing City is completely the credit of Yang Tian and his subordinates, and it has a relationship with him, the commander, which is incomprehensible.
