Chapter 1348: Yuan Shao seeks peace
Gongsun Zan attacked Ji County, but Gongsun Zan had limited troops and it was not easy to control the huge Hanoi County. One hundred thousand troops were one in the east and one in the west, and only 20,000 infantry and ten thousand cavalry participated in the battle in Ji County.
Yuan Shao didn't know what the specific battle situation in Ji County was, but from the stalemate in Ji County, you can guess that Gongsun Zan was actually not interested in attacking the Iron Army. What he wanted to do was to completely control Hanoi and reopen the road to the Central Plains. As for what he wanted to do in the Central Plains, Yuan Shao could even think of it with his toes that Gongsun Zan was definitely not here to help, but to make trouble.
The idea of expecting Gongsun Zan to fight against Tie Jun is obviously not realistic. Although Yuan Shao had such fantasies at the beginning, reality quickly shattered the fantasies. But that doesn't matter. As long as Gongsun Zan and Tie Jun face each other, it's enough. Even if there is no big fight, the Iron Army will be restrained by Gongsun Zan and cannot pose a threat in the direction of Dunqiu and Dangyin, so Yuan Shao will feel at ease.
Unfortunately, these appearances are actually manifestations made by some people in partnership. When Yuan Shao breathed a sigh of relief, the Iron Army's powerful combat troops had quietly crossed the Yellow River by boat in batches, hiding in a town near Chaoge for a whole day. At night, Song Hufeng led the dragon cavalry to set off, aiming directly at Dunqiu.
Less than two hundred miles to Dunqiu, Song Hufeng rushed straight to Dunqiu without any concealment. Even if he was discovered by Yuan Shao's army or players halfway through, Dunqiu was fully alert, but there was no reinforcements. Song Hufeng was confident that with himself, Dian Wei, and 20,000 infantry, more than 300 elite players could quickly capture the newly rebuilt Dunqiu.
In the second half of the night, Jiang Yiqu in Dunqiu City received an alarm from the iron army. He was so scared that he quickly woke up the defenders in the city and drove all the defenders to the city. Jiang Yiqu himself patrolled back and forth from the warehouse to the city wall, fearing that there would be any missing places. Jiang Yiqu knew that the fastest reinforcements would not arrive tomorrow at noon. He had to stand alone until that time.
To be honest, Jiang Yiqu was actually very unsure. Although he had 50,000 infantry guarding the city and the newly built Dunqiu City wall was tall and thick, he didn't dare to say that he had a sure win against the iron army Jiang Yiqu. All he could do was do his best, but what he said was not like.
"The iron army is less than 20,000. We have 50,000 people. They are rushing to attack for a long distance, and we are waiting for it. They have to brave arrows and rocks to climb the city. It is impossible to have heavy equipment, and we have no shortage of equipment to defend the city. We can definitely block the enemy's attack. As long as you follow the usual training and practice, don't panic, you can easily defeat the invading enemy."
Jiang Yiqu's words and calm expression did make the panicked soldiers feel much more stable, and the slightly chaotic scene gradually became orderly. Jiang Yiqu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
“Has the mission been released?”
"The general has been released, but"
"how?"
"General. There are not many aliens in the city now, and the mission will not be effective even if it is released!"
"It's better than nothing. A little more power is a little bit. The enemy's number is not large, so there should be no siege. The roads in other directions will not be blocked, and more aliens will come into the city. The task reward is the highest, and now is not the time to be stingy!"
"promise!"
Standing at the top of the city, Jiang Yiqu looked at the dark night sky. The boundless darkness seemed to be the big mouth of a terrifying giant beast. It made people feel a little panicked when they wanted to swallow the brightly lit Dunqiu City in one mouthful.
An unknown enemy is the most terrifying, and waiting is the most annoying. When you are waiting for an enemy with unknown power, that feeling is very uncomfortable. Although every soldier on the city wall is worried, he is always looking forward to the enemy appearing earlier. Don’t let yourself continue to suffer in the waiting.
"Boom"
A low sound came from afar in the night sky, as if the roar of the underground beast in the dark, and the city wall under its feet seemed to be trembling, and dust from the city gate tower shook down from the beams.
"The enemy is here, everyone is on guard!"
"Be wary, be wary!"
"Light the fire under the city! Shoot the fireball to the maximum distance."
There was a turmoil in the city, and everyone's hearts were finally settled. The enemy appeared in front of him, and it seemed that fear began to move away. This was a very strange feeling.
Song Hufeng did not rush to attack the city, but dismounted in the darkness in the distance for a while. Then the soldiers were all wearing armor and a commando team composed of pure players gathered together. They will cooperate with Song Hufeng and Dian Wei to conduct a round of strong attacks.
"Get on the horse, get on the horse! Take the horse directly to the city, and then each team takes the ladder and attack with force!"
"The commando will go first!"
"Iron Army Dragoon, Attack!"
"Kill!"
The iron army rushed towards the city wall of Dunqiu City like a torrent. Jiang Yiqu was stunned. What did the iron army want to do? Do they want to knock down the city wall with their war horses?
"Take the stone, attack!" Jiang Yiqu was stunned for a moment and suddenly shouted.
The attack effect of the catapult is really unsatisfactory. First of all, the enemy's attack is not known in advance, so the shooting range of the catapult can only be estimated. In addition, when the cavalry appeared within the field of vision, it was not far from the city wall. When the catapult's huge rock rose high and fell, the cavalry had already rushed through the area covered by the catapult and came to the city wall.
The cavalry stopped, threw the horses aside, and quickly combined them into battle formations according to the unit of the trunk. Then they used the ladder to build a ladder, Zhang Bi's Zhang Bi's Zhang Bi, and the assault team rushed to the city wall. With a loud shout, a neat skill was thrown onto the city wall in front of them.
'boom!'
The strong light was particularly dazzling at night. The soldiers around him couldn't help but close their eyes. Before the light could dissipate, the second round of paper talisman was thrown up again.
"Get the ladder! Commando, follow me!"
"Come to the city and kill the enemy! Kill!"
Dian Wei and Song Hufeng took the lead. Both of them were wearing heavy armor, with a shield in their left hand and a giant blade in their right hand, like a pair of Gemini killing gods, and rushed up the city wall with rainy arrows on the city wall.
The city wall that was attacked was not prepared and there were no strong men who could survive two rounds of eighth-level strong general skills attacks in a row, so the opportunity to stop Dian Wei and Song Hufeng from blocking Dian Wei and Song Hufeng was fleeting. By the time Jiang Yiqu commanded his troops to concentrate fire and manpower, Dian Wei and Song Hufeng had already rushed to the top of the city, and the subsequent commandos were constantly rushing up. The two hundred alien commandos under the city were divided into two, extending to attack on both sides of the city wall to protect more heavy infantry to climb the city.
"Kill!"
"The general is coming! Go ahead!"
"The enemy can't defend it anymore, kill it!"
Dian Wei and Song Hufeng had already agreed and went up to the top of the city. The two of them were one left and right. Dian Wei led his men to attack towards the city gate tower, while Song Hufeng attacked in the other direction, trying to seize the ramp to climb the city.
In front of the large shield and huge blades of the heavy infantry of the Iron Army, the swords, shield soldiers and spearmen guarding the city seemed particularly thin. Their bodies could not resist these fierce iron bumps. The thin shield in their hands directly divided the people and shields into two under the enemy's huge blade. The desperate scene quickly destroyed the confidence of the defenders.
Jiang Yiqu could only watch from a distance because the heavy infantry in his hand was intercepted and killed by Dian Wei. Even if they were both heavy infantry, Jiang Yiqu's heavy infantry and Dian Wei's heavy infantry were obviously not of the same level. The huge gap between them formed a one-sided situation, and the narrow city wall could not be besieged. Soon Dian Wei pushed the enemy in front of him back like a bulldozer. Pushing to both sides of the city wall, people kept falling from the city wall. Jiang Yiqu was so excited that he saw it.
Even he was shaken, not to mention those soldiers who were not very confident, the balance of victory and defeat was slowly and firmly tilting towards the Iron Army.
Until Jiang Yiqu, who was guarding the city gate tower, was cut open two pieces by Dian Wei, Yuan Shao's army completely collapsed, the defenders fled in scattered and fled to the city. Then they opened the city gates in other directions and escaped from Dunqiu City overnight.
Song Hufeng led the Iron Army to finally achieve a brilliant victory again. Unfortunately, Song Hufeng's troops were limited and there was no qualified light cavalry. He had no way to take advantage of the victory and could only watch the defeated army disappear into the darkness.
"Second brother. Haha, I took it! It's so refreshing!"
"Thanks to my elder brother, but we can't stay for a long time, so we can quickly clean the battlefield."
"Oh! Where is the city?"
"Try to take away what you can, and the fire will burn if you can't take away!"
"Okay! I'll take someone to set the fire!"
Song Hufeng was stunned for a moment. Then he laughed. Dian Wei's words were like bandits!
Yuan Shao received the news that Dunqiu was burned after being captured and fell to the ground in a daze. Zheng Ji, who was beside him, looked at him but did not dare to pick it up.
After a long time, Yuan Shao came to his senses and wanted to take a closer look at the battle report, but found that his hands were empty. Zhang Ji quickly stepped forward and picked up the battle report on the ground and handed it to Yuan Shao.
Yuan Shao looked at Zheng Ji with a bad look and took over the report of the war: "Please come and discuss matters, go quickly!"
"promise!"
Xu You and Shen Pei soon came with Pang Ji. Yuan Shao had adjusted his mood and stood on the desk. After seeing the three of them coming in, Yuan Shao signaled them to sit down and then ordered someone to report the battle to them and let them see them one by one. Shen Pei and Xu You looked different. Shen Pei frowned, while Xu You looked dazed.
"Ziyuan, do you think Gongsun Zan did something in it?"
"What Benchu said was very much. Gongsun Zan lied to us. He and Tiejun must have had a tacit understanding in private, but they ended up paralyzing us. Damn it!"
"Yes, Gongsun Zan deserves to die! Unfortunately, we can't take action to deal with them now! Dunqiu's food and supplies are burned, and the war on the front line will be affected!"
"By the beginning, it was not a problem for Chenliu and Dongjun to arrive at this time. The problem was Weijun. We must strengthen the defensive forces of Weijun, and Dunqiu must also regain the reconstruction. In addition, Guangping, Zhao and Changshan all need to be prevented."
Shen Pei frowned even more: "Ziyuan, this makes Henan's troops a little short of strength!"
"Well, so, let's give up Changshan!" (To be continued.)
Chapter completed!
