Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Chen Wen is still busy cleaning up these annoying enemies like rats, but the war in Wu County has already reached the stage of being in full swing. The two legions of the lion and the greedy wolf and the army of Sun Ce have launched nearly four large-scale attacks on Wu County, and the Baiyun City side has paid the price of nearly 200,000 people, while the Wu County side is even more miserable, nearly 500,000 people have died, if you count the soldiers who died a few days ago, this number is about to rush to 800,000. This ratio looks a little abnormal in the siege battle, but thinking about the gap between the strength of the Baiyun City army and the Wu County army, I feel that this is normal.
Now, Xu Gong can only be described as anxious, because he has no confidence at all to defend Wu County, because the strength shown by Baiyun City is too strong. In the past few days, although he was only defending the city, he didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, every time Baiyun City Cointreau attacked the city, he could still parry it, even if he paid a lot of price for it, but he still felt that this Wu County still belonged to him, and at the same time, he also felt that the strength of the Baiyun City army was nothing more than that. But today, just now, Xu Gong finally saw the true strength of Baiyun City. It is precisely because of this that he completely understands the gap between Wu County and Yizhou, and he even has a feeling that if the rumors in the world are correct, Baiyun City really has twelve legions with the same strength as the current siege army, even if the entire Yangzhou joins this war, Yizhou's victory rate is also very large. His faith was gradually lost in this battle.
However, Xu Gong did not tell Chen Wen about the situation on his side, because if Chen Wen's reinforcements arrived, he still had a glimmer of hope. But if reinforcements don't come, he's left with despair.
Yang Tian had already come to the outside of Wu County and joined Gao Shun and the others, but he did not immediately participate in the siege because the time was not yet ripe.
According to the previous discussions with Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others, before most of Chen Wen's army was transferred to Wu County, he could not let Chen Wen feel that there was no hope for the battle of Wu County. At the same time, during this time, they must also eliminate the living forces of the defenders of Wu County as much as possible.
Now the qiē went very smoothly, although he had also heard of the four cities from the north that still belonged to Xu Gong. More than 400,000 cavalry were coming this way. But Yang Tian wasn't too worried. One of them, Yang Tian had already sent the Sunset Army to intercept it, and as for the other three, adding up to more than 300,000 people, even if they arrived in Wu County. Nor can the big waves come.
Just after noon. Chen Wen finally wiped out all the player armies that harassed Shouchun City. The teleportation array has also been opened again, but the other counties are still continuing to play hide and seek with the player army in Baiyun City, but it is estimated that it will not be much longer.
Chen Wen naturally didn't need to wait for the other cities to open the teleportation array before starting the teleportation. When all the remaining cavalry corps in the city were sent, the nearly 200,000 cavalry was almost half of the remaining cavalry army in Yangzhou. However, it was impossible for so many people to teleport to Wu County in a short period of time, and it would take at least more than an hour.
However, Chen Wen did not intend to let these troops teleport over and rush to Wu County, he ordered them to wait in their respective counties for a while, and wait until the army gathered to a certain size before setting off. Anyway, now that the battles in other counties are over, and the teleportation arrays have been opened one after another, every time you wait for a while, you can make the power in your hands stronger.
However, at this time, Chen Wen received a letter from Xu Gong again, saying that he had discovered that Sunshine was also in the army attacking Wu County, and had already participated in the siege battle, and now Wu County's situation was even more difficult.
Chen Wen was surprised and delighted by this news, and was surprised that Sunshine was so determined that he actually participated in the war against Wu County, although Sunshine had participated in many wars before, but the situation at that time was different, at that time Sunshine was only a subject of the Son of Heaven, and naturally needed him to lead the army. But now, although the emperor is still there, his ability to control the place is basically zero, and a feudal official like Sunshine is basically equivalent to the emperor of one party, in this case, there are very few people who are willing to risk death to go to the battlefield.
But Chen Wen was happy because the sun had arrived in Wu County, and if he could kill the sun in this battle, it would play an immeasurable role in the next war. Chen Wen also knew that Sunshine was an alien and couldn't really kill him, but as long as he could kill the other party once, the blow to the morale of Baiyun City would definitely be huge.
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Wen immediately ordered the more than 100,000 troops who had already gathered in the four county towns of Wu County to set off for Wu County again, plus the more than 400,000 cavalry that had been driven over before, this was already nearly 600,000 troops.
Chen Wen didn't think that he could turn the tide of the war with these 600,000 troops, and he didn't even give these troops an order to fight, he just asked these people to camp not far from the Baiyun City army after they rushed to Wu County, so as to deter the Baiyun City army and make the other party dare not attack the city with all their might, so that his goal would be achieved.
……
Just when the war in Wu County was raging, a major incident happened again in the Z Country District, and this matter had something to do with Baiyun City.
Announcement of Z National District: After nearly a month of fierce battles, Li Qi and others led the Xiliang Army to break through Chang'an City, Li Qi and others killed Wang Yun, and held Emperor Xian's official position hostage, controlled the government, and the battle of Chang'an ended.
There is no doubt that this system announcement shook the entire Chinese region, to be honest, after Wang Yun took charge of the government, due to Wang Yun's high prestige, this court still has a bit of the appearance of the court, but now that Wang Yun is dead, the entire court is a plate of scattered sand, completely useless. Without the imperial court standing on top of their heads, the battles between the princes of all walks of life will become more intense.
As NPC forces, they pay more attention to the battle of Chang'an and pay more attention to the movements of the imperial court. But as a player, the forces are different, and they are now focusing more on the battle between Yizhou and Yangzhou. In their opinion, although Li Xuan, Zhang Ji and others are powerful now, they will not be able to jump for a few days after all, and they will eventually be buried in the long river of history, and it is difficult for NPC characters like this to get rid of the shackles set by the system for them. But Yang Tian is different, no one dares to say how far Yang Tian can go in the future, but it is conceivable that Yang Tian is definitely more competitive than Li Xuan.
Yang Tian didn't know that a war led by him actually stole the limelight of the battle of Chang'an for Li Qi and others. According to his thoughts, the current system announcement about Chang'an City undoubtedly solves his urgent task, because he doesn't want other forces in the country to pay too much attention to him now, and if he keeps showing his edge, he is likely to become the target of public criticism. But now the eyes of the NPC forces are shifting away, but the player forces are still staring at this side.
Of course, Yang Tian didn't have much time to worry about these things now, because he was now leading a group of Iron Eagle Warriors to attack the city wall. Soon after entering the battle, the Iron Eagle Ruishi took control of a section of the city wall from the defenders of Wu County, and began to gradually expand the results. At this rate, it won't be long before the southern gate falls into the hands of Baiyun City.
It is no wonder that Xu Gong is in a hurry, once the city gate falls into the hands of the enemy, with the current comparison of the strength of the two sides, the nearly two million troops in Wu County will be slaughtered by the army of Baiyun City in one day, including Xu Gong himself.
But for the Iron Eagle Legion led by Yang Tian at the head of the city, Xu Gong was unthinkable, in his opinion, these Iron Eagle Warriors were simply comparable to several generals under his command, but how many generals were there under his command? However, the number of Iron Eagle Warriors has reached more than 10,000. If this is not shocking enough, then the fifty divine envoy guards who have been following Yang Tian are the Grim Reaper descending, and those people under Xu Gong's command, whether they are soldiers or generals, are not the enemies of these people, plus Yang Tian himself, this is simply an insoluble combination.
With the passage of time, all the Wu County soldiers above the south city gate were annihilated or forced to retreat, and along the direction of the retreat of these remnants, the Baiyun City army seized control of the city gate. At the moment when the city gate was opened, all the troops outside the city stopped besieging the city, and now that the city gate was opened, they naturally did not need to risk huge casualties to attack the city wall. With the exception of the army that retained the necessary siege of the city, the rest of the army moved south. For a time, a large number of Baiyun City troops poured into Wu County from the South City Gate.
Before the gates were breached, Xu Gong had already withdrawn from the city walls and turned around and fled to the inner city. In his opinion, the outer city has been completely breached, and it is better to concentrate on defending the inner city than to waste energy here.
At this time, Xu Gong didn't even think about running away, he belonged to the kind of person who valued power more than life, it was conceivable that as long as he withdrew from Wu County, his previous efforts would be in vain, and he would even become a prisoner of the order. But if he sticks here, he still has a chance to wait until Chen Wen's army arrives, and then he will have a chance to turn the tables.
The inner city of Wuxian County is not much different from the inner city of Wangtian City, both of which are transformed from the city walls built when they were still small cities. The only difference is that there is only one city gate in the inner city of Wangtian City, while there are four city gates in the inner city of Wu County. In fact, if you calculate it seriously, the defensive capacity of the inner city wall is not as good as the outer city wall, and the height of the city wall alone is much lower than the outer city wall. Fortunately, the length of the inner city wall is not large, and it is easier to concentrate superior forces to defend.
The news of Xu Gong's retreat soon spread to the entire city wall, but this was also Xu Gong's deliberate action, if it was just him who fled back to the inner city, who would help him defend the city? Therefore, he directly issued an order for the elite army to quickly withdraw into the inner city, and ordered the rest of the ordinary soldiers to be responsible for containing the Baiyun City army that attacked the city. Xu Gong's order may be unfair to those ordinary soldiers, but this is a war, and everything is only for the final victory, and there will be no sympathy and pity. (To be continued)
