Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The Flying God King carried more than 10,000 baggage trucks and rushed to Shuining County day and night. At the same time, the task of escorting grain and grass was released, recruiting more than 100,000 yellow turban players.
It's just that this road is not peaceful, first I got the news that the Ten Thousand Demon Alliance and other guilds have gathered a total of 400,000 people, ready to come to rob the grain and grass, which frightened the Flying God King to immediately speed up the march, and at the same time sentry out to check the surrounding movements. You must know that it is much easier to rob grain and grass than to defend the city, as long as you rush over and put a fire, it will be completed. And the other party's 400,000 soldiers, if they really want to succeed in the sneak attack, it is estimated that more than half of their baggage vehicles will be burned.
Although the Flying God King really wanted to fly directly to Shuining County, this was obviously unrealistic, and even wanting to speed up had become a luxury. Almost every ten kilometers or so, there was a group of troops from the imperial camp to harass, and all of them used long-range attacks. A rain of arrows fell, and hundreds of unlucky people were killed by arrows. This annoyed the Flying God King.
More than 100 kilometers away from the county seat of Shuining, the Yellow Turban Army, which was escorting heavy baggage, encountered a large-scale attack by the imperial camp of Shuining County. Although the Flying God King got the news early and made arrangements. But the fighting was still unusually fierce.
After a battle, the players of the entire Yellow Turban camp were basically killed and injured, and the 10,000 sixth-order Yellow Turban elites brought out by the Flying God King and the 5,000 seventh-order Yellow Turban soldiers who had just been resurrected from the Yellow Turban Cottage also suffered heavy losses. This is really thanks to the five thousand Yellow Turban wrewlers he resurrected, otherwise this huge grain transport force would have been wiped out directly.
The imperial court camp also suffered huge losses, and in order to achieve the goal of completely intercepting the Flying God King, they all sent more than half of the elites of their respective guilds, and their strength was not as good as that of the Flying God King, which was basically a fourth-order soldier. But they still didn't expect that the Flying God King had resurrected 20,000 seventh-order soldiers. According to their calculations, the Flying God King should have paid out five thousand sixth-order soldiers at most, but after touching it, they found that they had touched the stone, and the five thousand centaurs in front of them were all seventh-order Yellow Turban wrestlers. In the case of underestimating the opponent, more than 100,000 soldiers of all ranks were basically killed. But their strategic purpose was half accomplished, and they burned nearly 5,000 baggage trucks of the other side.
In fact, this is also to blame Yang Tian, if he had told these guilds that he had killed more than 100,000 Yellow Turban elites of the other party, and there were also seventh-order Yellow Turban wrestlers among them, these guilds would not have sent these 400,000 troops to attack so optimistically.
The Flying God King was worried that the guild of the imperial court camp would attack again, and he would not have time to clean up the battlefield, so he led the remaining Yellow Turban Army to pull the remaining baggage carts and speed towards Shuining County.
The rest of the way was still calm, and the Flying God King arrived at the city of Shuining County and joined Zhang Junshi.
The Flying God King had time to count the remaining supplies. After a hectic while, the results came in. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army was lucky, most of the 5,000 baggage carts burned were grain and grass, and the loss of siege equipment was very small.
However, there is also a problem in this way, that is, the grain and grass are not enough now, even if only more than 100,000 yellow turban elites are supplied, it will not be able to support it for five days.
Although Zhang Junshi sent people to loot grain in the surrounding towns and villages two days ago, every time he went out, he would encounter a group of cavalry riding strange horses, these cavalry were super strong, fully equipped, and the horses were extremely fast, even in the jungle, they could run flexibly, and after each harassment, they would hide in the forest, making people cry out in vain.
Under such harassment, the Yellow Turban Army's grain and grass harvest in the past few days is not large. Now there are nearly ten days before the next grain harvest, and now Yangzhou is in a state of drought, the grain harvest has been halved, and it is really difficult to say how much grain can be harvested. But fortunately, in the war, everyone tacitly did not destroy the farmland, otherwise there would be no harvest in many places.
After discussing with Zhang Junshi, the Flying God King finally decided to attack the city immediately.
In the past two days, the heads of the major guilds in the city were also very depressed, and the provocation work in the first two days had been done very smoothly, and a team of people and horses sent out every day rushed to kill happily, and after slaughtering nearly 10,000 Yellow Turban recruits, they were able to return to the county seat smoothly. But on the third day, it hit a big nail.
That military advisor was also treacherous, and actually said that in the middle of the night, every city gate was replaced with 10,000 yellow turban elites, but all the weapons and equipment were the same set of yellow turban recruits. This time, it was the turn of the old ghost to take a fourth-order spearman in the city defense army out to rush out to kill, and the defenseless old ghost plunged into the tiger pile, and was immediately gnawed to the point that there were no bones left, and he became a real old ghost.
The resurrected old ghost was depressed, and he lost nearly a thousand taels of gold in vain before he came back to life. This is also due to the fact that his territory is basically occupied by the Yellow Turbans, otherwise the cost of this resurrection would be even higher.
suffered such a big loss, and the old ghost also wanted to take revenge, but he didn't know whether the soldiers outside were still the elite of the Yellow Turban. Originally, I wanted Arahara to investigate and find out the situation before going out to vent his anger. But the exploration distance of more than thirty meters made the wasteland helpless.
In desperation, the members of the major guilds could only nest in the city, waiting for reinforcements from outside, only hoping that the time would come when the time came to unite and defeat the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop.
The news that the Yellow Turban Army's grain transport team was ambushed by the imperial court camp also knew about it through the pigeons. They were embarrassed that the players in the imperial court camp had been wiped out, and they were also very puzzled how the Flying God King could exchange five thousand seventh-order Yellow Turban wrestlers, could it be that he had already hidden this part of the soldiers and horses in the Yellow Turban Cottage before? The 300,000 army is 50,000 less, and it is really not easy to see.
However, facts are facts, and no matter how much they wonder, the ending will not change. The only thing they can do now is to strengthen the city's defenses and wait for a Jedi counterattack that may arise at a critical time.
It's not that they haven't thought about abandoning the city and fleeing, but where can they flee to? The old ghost fled at the beginning, and in the end, more than 400,000 troops were chased and killed until only 100,000 remained. Lack of strength, running away is a luxury.
There is a strong smell of war inside and outside Shuining County, and a storm is brewing!
That night, the Flying God King discussed with Zhang Junshi all night, and early the next morning, the siege battle officially began.
When there was an abnormality in the Yellow Turban Orchid outside the city, the heads of the major guilds in the city got the news and climbed to the city wall to check.
Under the city wall, countless Yellow Turban soldiers are standing neatly outside the attack range of the archers in the city, judging by the condition of the equipment, it should be the Yellow Turban recruits, these people are carrying hundreds of simple siege ladders. After that, countless soldiers were assembling small catapults, looking at their skillful movements, I am afraid that they are professional catapult operators, let such people operate catapults, the accuracy is not comparable to that of an ordinary soldier.
The paladins standing on the city wall looked at each other, and they all saw deep concern in each other's eyes.
The plain gentleman said: "Quickly let the people of their respective guilds go up to the city wall, and pay attention to concealment." The Flying God King seems intent on suppressing our ranged attacks with catapults, and then send infantry to attack the city. We had to spread out the twenty catapults first, let the skilled operators operate them, and try to destroy the other party's catapults. We have a bonus to the firing range of the wall, and long-range attacks are more advantageous to us.
The old ghost smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid this won't work, haven't you seen how many catapults the other party has?" I guess we haven't scrapped the Yellow Turban Army's catapults yet, so we'll be finished first. ”
The plain gentleman said: "Even if it's over, we have to take it, after all, we have the protection of the city wall, and there is still a chance." "You've all contacted your guilds, right? Don't go wrong when the time comes! ”
The other guild leaders all said that they were all in the arrangement.
Later, most of these people went down to contact the guild members and mobilize their own. PC troops, rushed to the city walls for defense. At the same time, let the county order mobilize the people in Shuining County to assist in the city defense and carry the city defense materials.
Countless archers began to stand at the battlements of the wall, pikemen and sword and shield men around them to assist in the defense.
Suddenly, a loud roar came from under the city: "Kill!" The voices came and went......
Then I saw countless boulders appear in the sky, crossing an arc symbolizing death, and falling towards the county seat. Either on the outside of the city walls or inside the city. What really fell on the city wall was less than one percent, but just this one made people tremble, and even some soldiers who were not very good in psychology appeared in a panic.
The plain gentleman hid behind the battlements, and looked down from the battlements to see that the locust-like Yellow Turban Army was swarming towards the wall. At the forefront, rows of sword and shield soldiers ran wildly with siege ladders. Behind are countless Yellow Turban recruits with various weapons. Although he had been mentally prepared, his scalp was still a little numb when he saw this scene, especially when there were boulders flying over his head from time to time.
"As soon as the enemy enters the range of two hundred meters, shoot immediately!" Countless generals conveyed the will of the decision-makers to the soldiers. Most of these generals are players, and although they are also afraid of the boulders that fall from the sky from time to time, they must put life and death aside for their own self-interest. If the county town falls, they will also be exterminated by the Yellow Turbans.
Now there is no need to save arrows, after the past few days all the carpentry houses in the county have worked overtime to catch up, the number of arrows is enough to support a big war.
"Rush! …… Kill! "The shouting and killing outside the city is closer" There was a slight tremor in the hands of a small number of soldiers, perhaps excitement or fear. Some are players, some are. PC。
"Shoot!" At the sound of the order, countless arrows fell towards the Yellow Turban troops who were rushing to the front holding siege ladders.
After a crackling sound, most of the arrows were blocked by the Yellow Turbans' shields, but there were always fish that slipped through the net and burrowed into the Yellow Turbans' bodies. Immediately, I saw some yellow turban soldiers on the ground. After struggling a few times, they didn't move, and some of the soldiers were trampled to death by the robes behind them.
After one of the Yellow Turban soldiers fell, one of the soldiers picked up his shield and sword from behind, held the siege ladder, and rushed towards the city wall. (To be continued)
