After Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun returned to Changyi County, they went to see Guo Jia as soon as possible. First, it was to report the results of this operation to Guo Jia, and secondly, it was also to find out the identity of the person they had captured this time from Guo Jia's mouth.
When Guo Jia saw the person who was carried back by Huang Zhong and Zhao Yun, he was taken aback. He is very familiar with this person, you must know that he has been active in Yanzhou for several months before, and he has dealt with Cao Cao himself once or twice, and occasionally has the opportunity to meet Cheng Yu, and he has also heard a little about his ability. didn't expect such a well-known figure to be taken back by Zhao Yun, this fun is a bit big, I don't know if Cao Cao will be mad after knowing the news. You must know that he invited Cheng Yu to come out, but it took a lot of effort.
"You've done a great job this time! This person is Cheng Yu, one of Cao Mengde's right-hand men, and going here alone makes him feel more distressed than killing his million-strong army. Moreover, if the lord can subdue this person at that time, it will be no different from harvesting a million army. Guo Jia said with a smile, and there was no lack of excitement in his words. Although there are many talents in Baiyun City now, there are still very few who can really take charge of themselves, especially in the face of multi-front operations this time, it seems to be a little stretched. Now that I can get Cheng Yu, it can be regarded as a surprise.
After Zhao Yun heard this, he was first overjoyed and said, "This person is really so capable? After receiving Guo Jia's affirmative reply, Zhao Yun sighed and said: "There was still one person standing with this person at the beginning, and that person was also a scribe, and it is expected that his ability may not be worse than Cheng Yu." If I had known this, I should have thought of a way to take them all captive in the first place. If it can be successful, not only will the defense of Changyi City be easier this time. Even it will be of great benefit to the future development of Baiyun City. ”
Guo Jia chuckled, he also understood Zhao Yun's pity, but he could also think that Zhao Yun's scene at that time probably didn't allow him to think too much, and he probably didn't allow him to kidnap all of them.
After laughing. Zhao Yun's words also caught his attention, and he immediately asked him about the general characteristics of the other person. After Zhao Yun's description, Guo Jia smiled bitterly and sighed: "Zilong! All I can say is that your eyesight is so bad that you let a big fish go! If you had chosen someone else, I'm afraid the main guild would have been even happier, and might have been able to directly double the size of your Kirin Legion. Ay! But if you miss it, you miss it. It's not easy to find another opportunity like this now. ”
After Zhao Yun heard this, he was also depressed for a while, but Huang Zhong said: "Brother Fengxiao, since the other person is more capable, then we will find a way to capture him." I joined forces with Brother Zilong. It's too easy to get one of the opposing troops out. ”
Guo Jia shook his head and said, "It may have been easy before, but when you have already caught the snake, it is impossible for you to catch another person again." Special props like our Hermit Mask in Baiyun City are no longer scarce in the entire Han Territory, as long as you can get one. The other party will be able to completely hide in the army. …… Forget it, don't think about it so much, it is already a very huge gain to be able to get Cheng Yu this time, and the reward of the lord will be indispensable at that time. Let's discuss how to defend Changyi City! ”
Huang Zhong said: "How much can this defense be discussed? Although the county seat of Changyi is only a heavy city, it is impossible for the enemy soldiers to rush to the city wall with the archers of our Sun Legion guarding the city. Moreover, just now we went out to attack, and we have already destroyed most of the enemy's siege vehicles, in this case. The difficulty of the enemy's siege can be imagined. ”
Guo Jia was noncommittal about this, and said directly: "Brother Hansheng, although what you said is completely reasonable, our purpose is not just to defend Changyi County. If it's just to defend the city, as long as the lord's supplies to us can keep up. Even if the enemy has a thousand abilities, he can't take Changyi City. The point is that our strategic purpose is not to hold Changyi City, but to hold the entire Shanyang County, and also to make the Cao and Yuan coalition troops withdraw from Shanyang County. This may sound unlikely, and it is not a task that only the defenders of Changyi City can accomplish. But in this matter, we also play the role of the protagonist, as long as we fight the defense of Changyi City, and with the cooperation of other armies, it is very likely that the Cao and Yuan coalition forces will compromise and retreat. ”
The expressions on the faces of Huang Zhong and the others became a little stricter, the task they got before was to defend the city, as long as they could hold the city, even if the task was successfully completed, but now listening to Guo Jia say this, it seems that this matter is not so simple. After all, defending the city is a kind of passive warfare, and the soldiers will block the water to cover the earth, and it is difficult to have a new strategy.
After being silent for a long time, Huang Zhong said: "Brother Fengxiao, you are an expert in this strategy, you can just say how to fight this battle, and leave the rest to us to complete." Zhao Yun also expressed his approval.
Guo Jia said with a smile: "This matter is not as complicated as you think, I discussed with the lord that day, as long as we can drag the entire army outside Changyi City and let them be in a dilemma, it will be considered as a complete task." Naturally, there will be another army to do the rest. And if we can beat the Cao and Yuan coalition forces under the city of Changyi, then we will be considered to have overfulfilled the task. ”
Huang Zhong and the others are also smart people, and they immediately understood when they heard it.
After a while, Zhao Yun asked, "Mr. Guo, how should this Cheng Yu deal with it now?" If he is left in Changyi City, I am afraid it will be inconvenient! ”
Guo Jia said: "This matter is not difficult, I will give the lord a letter in a while, and explain this matter to him, the lord will definitely come and take Cheng Yu away, before that, let's put him in prison first!" ”
Zhao Yun and the others have no opinion on this.
Subsequently, the three of them came to the city wall of Changyi City together, and when they saw the increasing number of Cao and Yuan armies gathered outside, Guo Jia and the others did not have too much worry on their faces.
Now the number of troops gathered outside Changyi County has exceeded one million, and nearly 300,000 troops are stationed outside each of the four city walls. It is not easy for the reinforcements from outside to rush into Changyi City, or for the defenders of Changyi City to rush out.
……
On the morning of the next day, the main forces of Cao and Yuan's armies all rushed to the outside of Changyi County. Naturally, it is impossible for NPc to participate in a war of this magnitude. Whether it is the defenders in the city or the siege troops outside the city, there are players who are still there, but most of these players are scattered players who have joined the NPc forces, and the general lord players do not want to participate in this stationmaster. If your strength is not as good as that of others, you have to admit it yourself, and if you slap your swollen face and rush to the fat man, you must be the one who suffers in the end. Casual players, on the other hand, don't have such worries, and they only drop one level if they hang up once anyway. High risk means high reward, so casual players are still very motivated to participate in this type of war, and they can gain some benefits regardless of whether the side they join wins or loses.
In this battle, both sides each had tens of millions of troops. In terms of the number of people, this war cannot be ranked in the top ten in the major wars that have broken out in the entire Z country region, but in terms of the quality of the troops participating in the battle, this war can definitely be ranked in the top three. And this is also the biggest attraction of this war, and there are even players who have made a good bet for this war, betting on which force can win this war in the end. The people who can open the market are people with some power, so there is generally no need to worry that the other party will default on the account, so there are many people who buy it.
Towards noon, the first round of offensive and defensive battles in Changyi County finally began, but both sides were relatively restrained in this battle, and the combined forces of Cao and Yuan only carried out a tentative attack, and the number of troops sent was only seventy or eighty thousand, plus twenty or thirty thousand player troops, barely enough for 100,000. The defenders of the city also did not show too much strength, and with this little men, they had already rushed to the city wall, but in the end they still failed to gain a firm foothold on the city wall, and were cleaned up by the remnants.
It can be said that in this trial battle, the two sides fought in vain, because they did not achieve their expected goals at all. Of course, it was Cao Cao's side who suffered, after all, more than 100,000 troops were sent, but only a thousand people came back alive.
After a tentative end, the two sides officially fell into a fierce battle.
The idea of Fu Zhu is very simple, that is, he hopes to use this battle to test the combat effectiveness of the defending army, and then judge whether they have the strength to take Changyi City in a short time. If the outcome is not satisfactory, he needs to report to Cao Cao in advance so that he can plan ahead.
With the support of this idea, this battle was not as mild as just now, nearly 10,000 catapults surrounded the entire Changyi City, constantly throwing huge stones inward, and every time they hit the city wall, it was a feeling of shaking the mountains in a row. In addition, those ordinary soldiers were not idle, they also launched an attack on Changyi City, and hundreds of thousands of troops swarmed up under each wall, and there was a great momentum of not drowning Changyi City and vowing not to give up.
This time, the defending side of the city was not so easy, and this may also be a difficult battle for Baiyun City since the city was built. After all, in terms of individual strength, the other party is not weaker than the defending army. Although the main forces of the two major armies in Baiyun City are slightly stronger, they are limited in number. In the entire siege battle, the ratio of casualties on both sides was roughly three to one, which was unprecedented in the history of Baiyun City. (To be continued)
