Chapter three hundred and seventy-first fortified city that cannot be conquered
"Boom" two fire dragons suddenly ignited on the snow. It turned out that Fang Zhiwen Ran dug two very long shallow ditches on both sides of the road, forming an inverted eight-shaped shape, extending to both sides of the road, and was filled with tinder oil. At this moment, two fire dragons were formed by a flash of ignition. The dazzling fire suddenly appeared, which scared the war horses that were rushing to the formation. They stood up one after another, lifted the knights on their backs. The horses behind them could not close enough and collided into a pile.
After this delay, the crossbow arrows on the opposite side flew again, and the casualties of the Yellow Turban Cavalry suddenly increased sharply.
Just as the cavalry generals were busy rectifying the cavalry commanding themselves, quickly reorganizing their formation, and preparing to cross the line of fire to continue attacking, a violent sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded in the darkness opposite. Since they were also running just now, they did not find that the enemy was ambushing the cavalry behind them.
Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong led three thousand cavalrymen, forming a front arrow formation from the left and right sides, and jumped out, penetrated the opponent's stopping cavalry team, crashed into the cavalry team, and was already divided into the crossbow soldiers who were watching the show on both sides of the road. After a big kill, he came out through the formation and rushed into the crossbow soldiers who were at a loss along the oblique angle.
It’s not that the commander of the crossbow soldiers did not dare to shoot arrows, but the distance was too close, and it was dark again. The commander of the crossbow soldiers actually didn’t know what chaos was happening ahead. The enemy’s cavalry had already rushed in front of him. A red spear flashed, and the inexplicable commander dropped level 10, exploded items in the sky, and went down to lock in.
Zhao Yun, who was not far away and behind the enemy, suddenly started and headed straight for the opponent's central army banner. Although the opponent's central army still had some heavy infantry and heavy crossbow soldiers, these were all scumbags in front of such a mighty general like Zhao Yun!
The Yellow Turban cavalry were at a loss now because they could not turn around and pursue. There were also their own infantry running around behind them, but if they moved forward, their commander would be in danger. If they were going around and when they chased them, they would probably collect the corpse of the central army. Moreover, the opponent would definitely turn around and attack the infantry that had lost their formation, which would be a dilemma.
The cavalry generals could not hesitate, because the rain of crossbow arrows continued to cause casualties to their troops. The cavalry gritted their teeth and simply killed the opponent's crossbow soldiers. It was a exchange, at least it would not be rewarded at all. So the cavalry bravely crossed the line of fire and fell into the trap behind the line of fire.
It turns out that the trap set up by Fang Zhiwen is here, and the road they attacked just now is the only safe passage.
Thirty thousand cavalrymen fell on the road in the first round of charge just now, and lost more than 2,000 in front of the line of fire. Then, three or four thousand were killed by Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong. They were delayed in front of the line of fire, and more than 2,000 were shot and killed by crossbowmen. In fact, their troops with less than 20,000 troops still had combat power at this time, and now they fell into the trap one after another. The back team was even more at a loss. The rain of arrows on their heads was still falling. The troops, whose morale was not enough, suddenly became a mess because of their repeated declines. This is really a tragedy!
Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong did not have the idea of helping Zhao Yun. It should be easy to deal with more than 10,000 central army with Zhao Yun's ability. After Fang Zhiwen and Taishi Zhaorong successfully killed the opponent's crossbow soldiers, they dispersed their troops and began to kill the opponent's crossbow soldiers. As for the heavy infantry, they didn't have to worry about them at all. When the crossbow soldiers died, these heavy infantry had nowhere to escape.
The battle was going too fast. When Fang Zhiwen and his cavalry shot and killed the scattered heavy infantry from afar, Zhao Yun's battle was completely over and he began to quickly clean up the battlefield. He pressed the prisoners and slowly retreated back. At this time, you can see the support troops gathered in the Yellow Turban Camp being prepared to attack. Because they saw the strength of the attacking troops, these support troops did not dare to attack rashly, but carefully took the lead with heavy infantry and crossbowmen and slowly advanced outward.
Zhao Yun and Fang Zhiwen quickly handed over. Fang Zhiwen added some damage to Zhao Yun. Zhao Yun continued to harass the support troops behind. Fang Zhiwen retreated with his prisoners while cleaning the battlefield. Taishi Zhaorong also ended the pursuit of the cavalry. Some of the cavalry ran away in scattered ways. Taishi Zhaorong did not chase them fiercely. She just drove away these cavalry and quickly cleaned the battlefield with the dragon cavalry, and then joined Fang Zhiwen to retreat.
Fang Zhiwen's retreat was not fast, but the pursuit speed of the Yellow Turban Army behind him was slower. After being caught in Fang Zhiwen's trap five miles away from the camp gate, it became even slower. As a result, Fang Zhiwen returned to the city with his spoils and prisoners, and the Yellow Turban Army was very upset.
Other guilds participating in the sneak attack also gained a little. Everyone knew the right amount and did not think about taking advantage of it. They just made a fuss to slap the morale of the other party. However, they did not expect that Fang Zhiwen was so cruel that he directly destroyed 50,000 main combat troops of the enemy. His own losses were minimal. I don’t know how many 50,000 were there on the other side?
Fang Zhiwen's sneak attack last night slapped hard on the face of the players in the Yellow Turban camp, which made their fanatical mood a little colder. Although many small players found that this task was too dangerous and wanted to quit, they had already taken over the task but could not quit. The punishment for this task was extremely severe, which was no different from the punishment for death in battle. In other words, forward and backward are the same result. The Intelligent Brain is forcing the players to fight to the death!
In fact, Fang Zhiwen has no advantage in military strength, so Fang Zhiwen is not interested in fighting a head-on field battle with the Yellow Turban Army. Although Fang Zhiwen also wants to continue to use cavalry to restrain and harass the Yellow Turban Army, the players in the Yellow Turban camp under the city seem to have no idea of fighting with Fang Zhiwen's cavalry.
In the battle cases that have occurred, usually in the field, the Yellow Turban Army relies on the advantage of the number of people to rush hard, but Fang Zhiwen's field battle relies on cavalry, and his cavalry tactics are quite flexible. He is led by two powerful generals Zhao Yun and Taishi Zhaorong. Whether it is speed or offensive and defensive attributes, it has caused great headaches for the players of the Yellow Turban Army.
Basically, the Yellow Turban Army did not dare to fight cavalry war with Fang Zhiwen. In the end, both sides tacitly chose to siege the city, at least this could eliminate the disadvantages of their cavalry.
Moreover, the goal of the mission is in Gaomi City ahead. Instead of dealing with Fang Zhiwen's cavalry outside the city, it is better to attack the city honestly. Isn't Fang Zhiwen's cavalry not to let the Yellow Turban Army siege comfortably?
More importantly, after a month of mission time, Zheng Xuan failed before he caught it. Now that he saw that more than ten days were coming, the Yellow Turban Army was anxious and there was no mood to get entangled with Fang Zhiwen’s cavalry outside the city.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has numerical advantages, if the troops are separated, it will be no better. If the Yellow Turban Army joins the city on all sides, there will be less than 170,000 people on one side, and then the cavalry will be eliminated. On the other side, there will be only 120,000 or 30,000, let alone siege. If the local chronicles and literature gather forces to defeat each one, they will probably be defeated directly.
So after repeated discussions, the Yellow Turban Army decided to only attack the city from the east and south, and to place some cavalry on the north and south sides as guarding troops. In this way, there were about 300,000 infantry participating in the siege, and 150,000 cavalry guarding on both sides. The 50,000 infantry in charge of defense behind them, and the rest were stationed in the camp.
To be honest, there are quite a lot of soldiers siege this city, but although the second-level town of Gaomi is not very high, only five feet tall, but is it so easy to conquer 100,000 defenders? What's more, a strong general is in command.
The players of the Yellow Turban Army naturally have talents who are proficient in tactics. They know that the oil-adding tactics are unreliable, and equipment should be used to assist in the attacks. And there are indeed many equipment among them. But they forgot that the players on the opposite side are also players, and they also have sufficient equipment to deal with equipment.
Looking at the densely packed tower cars, goose cars, siege cars, catapults, siege crossbows, the players in the city were not outdone. The defenders who had the advantage of geographical advantages also had a large number of catapults and siege crossbows. The catapults shot oil tanks, and the siege crossbows shot out fire arrows, flying from the sky to cover the sky, covering the sun, and inside the city, fire lights burst out from time to time, starting from five hundred steps outside the city. The fire hell woven by the raging fire actually blocked the route of the Yellow Turban Army's attack, burned the many siege equipment that the Yellow Turban Army spent huge amounts of money to build, and even burned the idea of the Yellow Turban Army's reliance on equipment to siege the city.
This equipment war was spread rapidly and was widely circulated in the real world. Even on the big screen on the street, you can occasionally see this magnificent scene, which makes people excited.
In desperation, the Yellow Turban Army could only adopt a wave of people-flying tactics. This is indeed the most effective way to attack the toughest, although the casualties were extremely scary!
The next day, the Yellow Turban Army had enough food and drink, and arranged a formation under the city wall. In front was a square array of swords and shields, like iron boxes, behind it was a square array of heavy crossbow soldiers, and then players carrying siege crossbows and catapults. The entire land was covered with large yellow squares, and this scene was extremely spectacular.
"Everyone, we cannot capture the city. There is no difference between us and death in battle. Whether to move forward or retreat or die. There is only one way in front of us. If you want to live and attack the city in front of us, the soldiers will succeed and fail in this way, kill!!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Siege!"
"Roar!~~"
"Bang bang..." The heavy steps were neatly remembered, and the entire land and the city were shaking. Some dust on the city wall shook down. Fang Zhiwen stood at the top of the city and grinned, "The scene is so magnificent!"
"Brother, let's start!"
"Okay, the order starts to attack, the arrow shed at the top of the city is opened, so that the catapult and siege crossbow can only aim at the opponent's catapult and siege crossbow, without caring about infantry."
"yes!"
"Preparation for the maximum range of crossbow soldiers to shoot! ~ Let it go!"
With a strange sound, a black cloud rose from the top of the city and flew towards the advancement of the sword and shield soldiers. Tens of thousands of heavy crossbow arrows fell down together, making a loud "bang", as if an iron plate fell from the sky, forming a whole team of infantry into mud. Who said that arrows rely on penetration? They can kill people by weight.
This is the intensive shooting skill under the bonus of the crossbow soldiers! This skill is very rare, it is the reward Li Shehu received when he captured Fuxin. He handed it over to Fang Zhiwen. It is the first time he has used this skill, and it is indeed very exciting!
The command of the Yellow Turban Army was stunned when he saw this situation, but now it is already difficult to get on the verge of the tiger. As long as you arrive at the city as soon as possible, this terrifying skill will be useless.
Unfortunately, there were too many troops in the city. Thirty thousand crossbowmen were divided into three teams and took turns to accept Fang Zhiwen's command. Fang Zhiwen beats wherever he pointed, as if he was slapped a fly. One by one, he directly destroyed more than a dozen opponent's sword and shield soldiers in the range of more than 300 steps of crossbow arrows.
On the other side of the city wall, Zhao Yun was commanding the crossbow troops, which was no worse than the cavalry. Compared with Fang Zhiwen, although he did not have the terrifyingly powerful intensive shooting skills, the bonus in offensive and defensive attributes also caused the Yellow Turban Army under the city to suffer a lot.
The sword and shield soldiers finally reached the dead corner of the crossbowmen's attack. Fang Zhiwen smiled and turned the crossbowmen's shooting target to the enemy's crossbowmen's troops trying to advance forward. He had a high advantage and the advantage of the general's bonus. In addition, Fang Zhiwen's continuous shooting skills made the Yellow Turban Army crossbowmen under the city complain. Only then did they realize how terrible a high commander, high force, and high skilled general was, and the loss was too great.
The cloud ladder was finally loaded. Unfortunately, the support of our crossbow soldiers was too small. Our catapult and siege crossbow were suppressed by the opponent and could not play a role at all. We only sent people to take advantage of this opportunity to rush to the city, use the cloud ladder to attack with the tactics of the sea of people.
While commanding the crossbow soldiers to attack the opponent's crossbow soldiers, Fang Zhiwen took his sun-shooting bow and selected the player commanders under the city, and named them one by one. Once the command of the troops was dead, these low-morning soldiers would collapse directly, not only losing their combat effectiveness, but also interfering with the surrounding troops. This situation is gradually spreading.
Zhao Boyang and several other representatives of the player guild also gathered near Fang Zhiwen. They were originally here to observe, but now they are taking advantage of the points with heavy crossbows, but they are more observing Fang Zhiwen at close range.
This is the first time that Fang Zhiwen has observed so close to command the battle. They are very glad that they are standing on Fang Zhiwen's side. This guy's strength is really terrifying. In addition, Zhao Yun, who is just a terrifying person, has him and Zhao Yun defending the city. Even if it is just a small city, it is a city that can never be broken.
Let's conclude the players in the city.
"Swoosh!"
"Oh, I shot one! It's a big blow! Haha." Zhao Boyang said happily. (To be continued)
