After everything was ready, a few days had passed, and Yang Tao's military camp was not attacked.

There were too few soldiers and horses in Yicheng and there were not enough cavalry. However, when Yang Tao set up camp, he sent a small number of troops to investigate and learned that Yang Tao's military camp was relatively tightly deployed and the number of Yellow Turbans was large, so none of the people in Yicheng could carry out the attack, which allowed Yang Tao to prepare everything safely.

At the time of Yin, when the sky was still dark, a torch ran out from Yang Tao's camp 50 miles southwest of Yicheng, heading towards Yicheng. Ten miles away from the city, the torrent was divided into two streams, a smaller stream heading north to the west of Yicheng City, and the larger stream headed directly to the south of the city. When it reached the south of the city, it split out from it and headed east of the city.

After the three groups of people arrived at the position, they were waiting for the arrival of the baggage personnel behind them while the whole team was in full swing.

One hour later, the three groups of people were ready, and all the soldiers had already formed square formations under the leadership of their respective generals. However, the soldiers were still ordinary soldiers, and the square formations were not so regular. They should have been square, but they were arranged irregularly elliptical.

Time is rushed, and Yang Tao has no time to train. In addition, the Yellow Turban soldiers are composed of various personnel, with complex components and have not received training. It is good to be able to line up like this.

The siege troops in the south city led by Yang Tao were composed of 4 Yings. The two battalions of troops were in the front army. Under the leadership of their respective generals, they fought in the front in the left and right wings. Among them, the left wing was a large number of troops, with 28,000 people all melee infantry, carrying a large number of siege ladders; there were 20,000 people on the right wing, of which 1,000 were equipped with large shields and heavy armored large shield soldiers, while the rest were melee infantry and archers.

The big shield soldier was discovered by Yang Tao and Zhang Ning when they were sorting out their items recently. Apart from a shield that was tall one by one, they were wearing heavy armor and had no attack weapons.

When deciding to attack Yicheng, Yang Tao was still having a headache for the archers on Yicheng, but after discovering this type of troops, this problem can be solved. Although all weapons and all types of soldiers can be used, Yang Tao can also create large shields for other types of troops, but the effect is not very good. The large shield soldier has a passive defensive characteristic, that is, any attack hits the shield, even if it is not defended, it will reduce damage by 50%. The heavy armor worn by the large shield soldier can also reduce a lot of damage. Even if it is attacked by a primary bed crossbow, if it is good equipment, it can be resisted. Unfortunately, there are too few skill books. Yang Tao only got 5,000 copies and formed 5,000 large shield soldiers, Gao Shun and Chen Daniu divided 1,500 people, and the remaining 2,000 people were in the south of the city. In addition to giving 1,000 people to the right wing, Yang Tao also has 1,000 people in the camp.

Yang Tao currently only has ordinary large shields in his hand. In order to improve their defense, Yang Tao took out a lot of black iron-level heavy armor. The heavy armor is too heavy, and the soldiers' reactions slow down after putting on it will be unsuitable for combat. Most troops will not be equipped with heavy armor. Yang Tao has a lot of inventory in his hand.

The front army of the two battalions was followed by Yang Tao's 50,000 troops, followed by the first battalion of the rear army. All the supplies and craftsmen were arranged in the rear camp.

He is still quite sure of attacking Yicheng.

Yicheng is just a primary city, and there are only a dozen generals in the city.

This city is neither a military center for the Hanting troops stationed, nor any powerful figures. Although Yang Tao delayed the few days, the number of soldiers in the city increased a lot, from more than 20,000 to 50,000 now. The number of more than 30,000 was private soldiers and temporary recruitment from the powerful men of the city's sergeant family. Although the equipment is better than most of his soldiers and has standard black iron-level equipment, the number of people is too small, and there are not as many generals as Yang Tao, so it is not a big problem for him to capture Yicheng.

In addition to NPC, there are 30,000 players coming from the city. Yang Tao will not consider these players composed of scattered players for the time being.

Not to mention whether these 30,000 players can help the Yicheng government defend the city, just to make the players obedient, it is a very troublesome thing for the Yicheng government. These players may even mess up the matter of defending the city, which will help Yang Tao.

The city guards in the city were 20,000 near the city gate of the south city, to guard against the Yellow Turban, the largest group of Yang Tao's troops outside the city, each with 15,000 people in the east and west gates. Although there were no Yellow Turban soldiers in the north gate, the people in the city still arranged thousands of guards to guard them.

At the third hour of Mao, the time he agreed with Gao Shun and Chen Daniu was up. At this time, he was in the middle of the army, wearing a steel-grade cloud dragon armor, shining a silver light under the rising sunlight on the east. He wore a tassel helmet and was wearing a dark gray burqa. The faint seven-color streaming light emitted by Emperor Shangyu at his waist enveloped his whole body, like a god general, making the people standing behind him feel awe.

Yang Tao was a little excited when he looked at the ten-meter-high drum tower temporarily built in front of him. After all, this was his first time participating in a more formal siege battle, and he was commanding a battle between soldiers and horses. It would be fake if he was not excited.

The Drum Tower can be built after a military camp is available and is an essential thing for commanding the army. The Drum Tower in front of Yang Tao is ten meters high. The entire Drum Tower is full of flags. There is a platform with ten large drums on it. There is also a table in the middle of the platform, with various items directing the people.

At this time, Zhang Ning, who was wearing a white dress, saw Yang Tao's nervous expression and unconsciously held Yang Tao's hand. When he looked at him, he smiled gently, raised his cherry mouth and made a crisp sound, saying, "It's time for us to go up."

Zhang Ning is the saint of the Yellow Turbans. She has a higher status than Yang Tao in the Yellow Turbans. Even if she does not command the battle, she still has to go up the Drum Tower with Yang Tao.

Yang Tao held Zhang Ning's little hand, and a warm feeling surged with numbness, which relieved his nervousness. Looking at the calm smile of Zhang Ning, who was bright and white teeth beside him, Yang Tao, who felt much more at ease, said "Okay", then held Zhang Ning with his right hand, pressed the long sword at his waist with his left hand and climbed the Drum Tower with Zhang Ning with firm steps.

Behind the two, Pang Zheng, a group of personal guards and drummers, etc. After the two of them shook hands and walked across the stairs, personal guards stood on both sides of the stairs one by one.

After walking dozens of steps, Yang Tao and Zhang Ning went up to the drum tower, followed by the flag bearer holding Yang Tao and the Saint Zhang Ning flag and inserted two flags on the drum tower. The rest, such as drummers, stood in their own positions, waiting for Yang Tao's instructions.

The flags fluttered on the drum tower, and Yang Tao's bright yellow and red edges set the flag and Zhang Ning's Saint flag on the ten-meter-high drum tower. It made a rustling sound when blown by the wind, making a illusion of blood rise in his heart.

Yang Tao looked down at the situation down the Drum Tower and saw a sea of ​​yellow people within a radius of 1,000 meters. The camp of people raised their eyes and looked at the Drum Tower, staring at him, making him feel excited and excited. The red face was filled with joy and excitement, which he had never before. Although he had led several times more people than now, he had never been in a state of excitement this time. He had no previous tension in his heart, and replaced it with a sense of pride and ambition. It seemed that the troubles that lingered in his heart were no longer anything.

Yang Tao, who was surging in his heart, didn't know what to say, thought for a long time but didn't expect to say anything, so he could only order loudly: "Roll up!"

"Dongdongdongdong..."

As his voice fell, the drum sounds went from slow to fast, and a high-pitched drum sound formed. The soldiers under the drum tower held the weapons in their hands and stared at Yicheng ahead, waiting for the order.

As soon as Yang Tao's drums started, a drum sound came from the east and west of Yicheng, responding to the drum sounds on his side, opening the prelude to the strong attack on Yicheng.
