Chapter 231
Back at the city lord's mansion, Yang Tao had no time to say anything to Liu Ming and the others, so he summoned everyone to discuss how to resist the enemy's siege a few hours later. In the end, everyone did not think of any good ideas. After all, Yang Tao and others didn't even know the details of the enemy outside the city. They only knew that this was an army of players and had no idea about anything else, and they could not think of any way to deal with the situation of the enemy.
Now they can only strengthen the defense of the city wall overnight to prepare for the war a few hours later.
All the Yellow Turban soldiers and horses in Anci City were mobilized, and they kept transporting various stones, oil, wood and other items to the city wall. At this time, not far from dawn, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and more than 100,000 people were constantly moving with torches, not only illuminating all the streets in the city, but also spreading the sound of footsteps, making the entire Anci City full of war tension.
In the military camp dozens of miles outside the city, the Zhongyi Hall family fell from the sky and the other player leaders sighed and followed the old man back to the military camp. However, when they returned to the military camp, they heard the news that the military camp was attacked and their ally Yi Ji was captured by the Yellow Turban, which made the players who were already a little depressed even more talked about it.
When Fan came to see him, he spoke out to comfort him. Fortunately, Fan came to the sky and the player leader of the Zhongyitang had not been killed. Otherwise, if even he was destroyed after the sword of the Axe Gang leader was killed, then the players, led by Zhongyi Gang and the Axe Gang, had already disbanded and went their separate ways.
The player leaders and the old man entered the central army's tent and discussed the matter.
Seeing Fan Congtian and others feeling a little depressed, the old man comforted: "You don't need to worry so much. The Yellow Turbans in Anci City have no more soldiers. After yesterday's battle, we have destroyed all the enemy's defending equipment. Tomorrow, we only need to repair the siege equipment, and we will definitely be able to conquer the enemy city after the siege equipment is repaired."
After the old man finished speaking, everyone in the tent looked at each other and didn't believe the old man's words. When the old man saw that his face turned dark, Fan immediately noticed that the mood in the tent was a little wrong, and clasped his fists at the old man and said, "I hope everything will go as smoothly as the old man said."
The old man's expression on his face calmed down a little at this time, but he thought helplessly: "It's really a group of strange people who have never seen the world. They have only lost a little of their troops and are so depressed. It's really hard to become a great man. Forget it, this time, they have to use these strange people's troops to deal with the Hanoi Qu Commander, but in the future, they will not cooperate with the strange people again."
The old man thought to himself, but said expressionlessly on the surface: "Everyone, my lord has learned about the situation here and will send a lot of siege equipment to arrive tomorrow. You must work together to capture Anci City!"
When the old man said that there were new siege equipment, the expression on everyone's faces was slightly better. In the previous siege battle, the players lost more than 200,000 troops. For this team gathered by various player forces, the losses were also huge. In particular, some of the small forces originally wanted to take advantage of the situation because they were attached to Zhongyitang and the Axe Gang, but they didn't touch the fish, but they were killed so much that they were irritated. They were hesitant to leave early, but they could not let go of the temptation of treasures in the city and were in a dilemma.
This siege in Anci City is different from the previous Guangyang City. During the Guangyang War, it was already arranged by the Yellow Turbans, and they would not gain anything when they attacked the city. However, judging from the situation of today's battle, the Yellow Turbans in Anci City were not prepared. In other words, as long as they captured Anci City, they could obtain a lot of spoils in this city, which was a great temptation for small and medium-sized forces.
But they were afraid of being treated as cannon fodder. After a series of battles in Guangyang before, the player leaders, especially the leaders of the small and medium-sized players, had long realized something was wrong. It seemed that they were all being used as cannon fodder. Even if the major forces were in battle with them in every battle, they were very different from the major forces. The strength of the small and medium-sized forces was very small and could not withstand too much storm. Not to mention how many small and medium-sized forces were wiped out in the battle in Guangyang City, even in the Anci War during the day, many small and medium-sized forces around them became cannon fodder, and they were killed and injured, making them realize that in such a war, they were the easiest to be destroyed by being treated as cannon fodder. They had thought that they could get unexpected benefits by following the major forces, but now they had different thoughts.
Because of such concerns, many small and medium-sized player leaders have secretly decided to leave here at night, but more than half of them have held a glimmer of hope when they heard the old man's words, and are reluctant to accept the benefits they get after capturing the city, so they finally decided to stay.
Seeing the player leaders sitting in different faces, the old man continued to inspire: "There are not many Yellow Turbans coming tonight. Do you know why?"
When everyone heard the old man’s question, they all looked up at him.
After attracting everyone's attention, the old man said slowly: "That's that there are not many Yellow Turbans in Anci City. After this day's battle, more than half of the 300,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in the city should be lost. The Yellow Turbans can only attack our hundreds of thousands of camps with tens of thousands of people. Unfortunately, the strength difference is too big, and they cannot succeed at all. Although the Yellow Turban soldiers rushed into our camp and stirred up the camp in a bit of chaos, the number of casualties was not large. From this point of view, they can see that they have no strength anymore. We will definitely be able to capture Anci City tomorrow, and everyone will get the benefits they want. If you give up at this time, you will have nothing to do after capturing Anci City!"
The old man said, his eyes sharply. He looked at the leader of the small and medium-sized player who had their eyes shining brightly. They were so scared that they quickly lowered their heads and sweated all over their heads, thinking that the old man knew about their plan to benefit the fisherman.
What the old man said seemed to have played a role. The leaders of many forces had plans to stay. After the old man finished speaking, they kept complimenting. But the old man thought disdainfully: "What a group of inexperienced aliens. They still couldn't see what the Yellow Turbans attacked tonight came for. If it weren't for me, I would have expected that the Yellow Turban Army would come to the night to attack the military camp to destroy the siege equipment and move all the weapons to a small town more than ten miles away, what would these aliens attack the city tomorrow? They would have to disband."
However, the old man could not let such a thing happen, otherwise he would not be able to complete the task of the main bus, but also wasted a lot of siege equipment in vain. He could not communicate with the main bus even if he returned.
Among this army, the food was provided by the Yi family, and the soldiers were looking for players. Originally, the old man could borrow troops from the powerful family, but the powerful family was not easy to share, and it was far less easy to control as the players. This was also the reason why the old man invited Zhongyitang and the Axe Gang. In order to allow them to send troops willingly and to successfully capture Anci City, the old man mobilized a lot of siege equipment. Among them, the primary siege ladder and siege car were fine, but they were not precious equipment after all, but the well railing and bridge chariot were extremely rare. The old man's lord
Although some of them are not in Youzhou, even if you want to transport them with a teleportation array, Youzhou is not peaceful now, and the teleportation array is difficult to stabilize. It is difficult to send them to you. They can only borrow them from the powerful families in Youzhou. They have paid a lot of money. If they still cannot get Anci City after mobilizing so many resources, the old man will have great trouble. It is also because of the old man who tried his best to persuade the players to not let them break up. As for the addition of siege equipment, it is just an excuse. He has no siege equipment to give to the players.
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized and no longer thinking about leaving, the old man sent them back and prepared to go.
