Chapter 667
The Wuhuan School Magistrate Mansion is located on the east side of Ning County, in the center of Shanggu Ning County and Daijun Macheng. It is an important gateway to the outside world. In the north, it is the Great Wall that must be passed to the foreign tribes.
Due to geographical location, the magistrate's mansion was not in any city, but in the middle of two connected valleys, a high-level military fortress built in a canyon that is only a few hundred meters wide.
The terrain here is extremely dangerous, with only two exits from north to south, and on both sides there are mountains hundreds of feet high. There are also towers and other garrison buildings built on the peaks near the fortress, which is a stronghold that is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
When Yang Tao led nearly 100,000 troops to more than ten miles away from the lieutenant's mansion, he had already seen nearly one million players spread out all over the wasteland in the south of the fortress. However, he did not fight fiercely as he thought. Both sides seemed to be just confronting each other.
Because Yang Tao's relationship with these players' soldiers was not friendly, he did not intend to have any interaction with the player's army, so he did not get too close to the serial barracks of the millions of players' army. Instead, he found a ridge twenty miles away from the player's army camp and set up a camp on the ridge.
This ridge is a branch of a mountain, located on the edge of a lonely peak, and you can look down from above and down to see the situation within dozens of miles. If it were normal, Yang Tao would not set up the military camp here. After all, the lonely peak is difficult to defend. Once surrounded by the enemy, Yang Tao and others will have no way to advance and retreat.
Fortunately, the Wuwan soldiers in the lieutenant's mansion were only 300,000 to 400,000, and were surrounded by a million players' barracks. They were unable to enter and exit, so Yang Tao rejected the suggestion of Xi Zhicai and others and insisted on building the barracks here.
It was already evening when more than 80,000 soldiers and horses settled everything on the ridge. Tens of thousands of people were not much more than the million soldiers surrounding the fortress, but it was not small. In a few hours, the player leaders in the player army could clearly understand the origin of Yang Tao's army.
At this time, there were already hundreds of player leaders from the army from afar in front of the gate. They wanted to meet him. Of course, the leaders of the Youzhou Branch of the Huaxia League who had a festival with Yang Tao were indispensable.
"Tianqing, your plan is not good. Jianghe will come here so soon, which is not a good thing for us."
"Yes, this river is accustomed to robbing merits. He has many famous generals and scholars under his command, but they are not comparable to our soldiers. When his people come, we may not even have any soup to drink!"
...
Many player leaders gathered in front of the gate and asked Tian Qing that most of them would come to protect the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion with their troops. Most of them were fooled by Tian Qing. Now that they had not yet attacked the Captain's Mansion, Yang Tao's troops came, and naturally they were a little anxious.
Yang Tao has many famous generals and scholars under his command, which is something that all player guilds know. In terms of quantity and quality, even if they add up, they cannot compare. Once Yang Tao's troops are put into the siege, many of the player leaders may be futile. After all, the property in the lieutenant's mansion is limited, which is completely insufficient to divide the player guilds of millions of soldiers and horses. Now there is another master who is trying to seize the merits. How can many player leaders not be in a hurry?
"Everyone, I have never said before that I can take down the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion before Jianghe's troops arrive. And do you think Jianghe's troops can stop Jianghe's troops from coming with a little trick? Then you are too underestimating the famous generals and scholars in the game." Tian Qing retorted bluntly for the pressure on him by many player leaders, without taking everyone's ugly faces at all.
"Then let's just watch Jianghe's troops attack the city? You know, there are many famous generals and scholars in his hands. If he really wants him to attack the lieutenant's mansion, then we will have nothing to do. We will lead the troops from all over the world, not to see others pick up the benefits!" The knife handle beside him glared at Tian Qing, very impatient with Tian Qing's words.
"What else do you want to do? Is it possible to stop Jianghe? What a good opportunity. The Captain's Mansion is a place where millions of Wuhuan army's food, grass and supplies are stored, and there are countless treasures in it. The enemy's garrison fortresses are only 300,000 to 400,000 soldiers and soldiers, which are only 300,000 to 400,000. It is impossible for a powerful player to give up the fat meat in front of him." Tian Qing asked everyone angrily, and saw the expression of most people's angry but silent expression in his eyes. He sneered in his heart: "Hmph, it's just ordinary people who have the heart but no courage, and it will be difficult to achieve great things in the end. I asked me to do things that offend people alone before, but they wanted to make profits. What kind of good thing in this game really treats me like a fool!"
Tian Qing thought disdainfully, ignoring the noisy player leaders around him, waiting for the gate to open.
Seeing that Tian Qing ignored them, many player leaders were concerned about the Huaxia Alliance behind the other party. Even if they were reluctant, they could only shut up their mouths with tactfulness.
At this time, Yang Tao, who was sitting upright in the central army tent, had already received a reward from the guards of the Yuanmen. He knew that there were many player leaders gathering outside the Yuanmen, but he did not intend to see these people. There were not many player guilds in Youzhou who were friendly to him, so why should he see them? This would save a lot of trouble.
Yang Tao had already ordered his subordinates to be confined to the gate and not allow anyone who was not his own to enter and exit the military camp.
The many player leaders waiting outside the gate did not know what Yang Tao meant, and he was not interested in notifying the group of people. In this way, after a few hours, many player leaders saw that the gate was closed and had no intention of opening. They shouted, but no one responded, so they could only disperse bored. At this time, there were only dozens of people waiting outside the gate, including Sky Blue.
Waiting and seeing it in the middle of the night, Yang Tao's army's gate was still closed and never opened. There was no other player guild around him except Tian Qing's people. Tian Qing's eyes turned cold, Wu Zi snorted coldly, and his subordinates left with his ugly face.
Back in the military camp belonging to the Youzhou Huaxia League, Tian Qing sat alone in his military tent, his face gloomy and thought about the sulk of today.
"It's so good. I dare not see me. I even waited like a fool in front of the door for several hours. Humph, do you think I can't do anything to you like this? It's just a little more time. Everything in the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion is my Youzhou branch. No one can take any of it. If you don't have a river or other player guilds, you won't have to do it!"
...
After Yang Tao closed the gate for three consecutive days, no one came to visit him. Although all the players leader received a command from the Han army in Shanggu County and knew that Yang Tao was commanding the attack on the lieutenant's mansion, his three-day staying away had already explained the problem. If someone didn't take them to play, everyone would naturally not want to see Yang Tao.
Without the disturbance of the players, Yang Tao began to investigate the situation around the Wuhuan School Mansion.
Because the lieutenant's mansion was built to resist the attacks of foreign troops, it is not ordinary difficult to attack.
The fortress is not only tall and majestic, but also countless cities guarding equipment, which is at least twice as many cities guarding equipment as ordinary county towns have. Not to mention, there are more than 3,000 bed crossbows just.
What's even more troublesome is that the lieutenant's mansion has an excellent geographical advantage. Outside the fortress is a steep slope of kilometers. If players want to attack the fortress, they need to attack upwards, so they are no longer advantageous. In addition, the width of the road is only 500 meters, and there are mountains on both sides. The brigade of soldiers cannot climb. This means that there are more than 3,000 crossbows and thousands of other city-guarding equipment on the city wall that is only 500 meters long, which is arranged in three levels. The density of this city-guarding equipment is extremely rare in the entire Three Kingdoms War Zone.
Once a large army attacks the fortress, the soldiers and horses that attack the city can only break into tens of thousands at a time, and the tens of thousands of soldiers are not enough for countless crossbows on the top of the city to serve as live targets. Although it takes time to re-engage the equipment such as the crossbows to be activated once, there are not many soldiers and horses that cannot withstand the attack.
Thousands of bed crossbows launched an attack together, and the crossbow arrows were covered with the strong penetration power. Even the siege equipment would be shot into pieces one by one, let alone the generals who rushed up. With the huge amount of other city guarding equipment on the city, a wave of siege teams of tens of thousands of people had almost died before they rushed to the city wall.
During the three days when Yang Tao left behind, some players' guilds organized troops to attack. However, after attacking several times, they failed to even touch the city wall and retreated. After trying several times, no player's guild dared to attack and die.
This weapon, originally used to prevent foreign invasions, has now become a heart-wrenching problem for millions of players. Because it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Wuhuan puts the army's food and grass into it.
The fortress is too strong. Even if Yang Tao has more than ten famous generals and scholars around him, he is not sure to take down the fortress.
Now it is best to find the blind spots of the fortress’s equipment, otherwise this battle will not be fought at all. However, no one knows whether this blind spot exists. If it does not exist, then many people may have to retreat.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a news suddenly spread among the players' army, saying that there was a road in the mountains and forests on the east and west sides of the fortress that bypassed the fortress’s sharp weapon and went straight to the foot of the other city wall. It was also said that it was straightforward and unbelievable. In these days, a large number of players' soldiers scattered in the mountains and forests to look for this road, because the fortress was surrounded, and the Wuwan soldiers in the fortress would not attack, so the garrison of the players' army was relaxed.
Yang Tao originally didn't believe this, but as time passed, he was looking for more and more teams, and he could never find a way to deal with the countless cities guarding equipment at the fortress city. He could only send people to find the legendary path in the mountains and forests with a try-out mentality.
Just as he sent someone to find this magical mountain road that was spread, he got another stranger news from his subordinates.
More than 200,000 troops from the Youzhou Guild of the Huaxia League led by Tianqing were quietly withdrawing from the military camp of the million-dollar player army. It was said that it was quietly because loud shouts of practice could often be heard in the other party's military camp, and the other player guilds in the army of million-dollar players did not notice anything. Yang Tao had not always been alert to Tianqing's possible trouble and sent people to keep watching, he would not have noticed their evacuation.
"What bad things are Tian Qing going to do?" Yang Tao was particularly interested in the abnormal behavior of the Huaxia Alliance. After suffering a loss once, he was naturally much more careful, for fear that Tian Qing would make another conspiracy.
However, the people who sent to monitor the Huaxia Alliance did see them retreating to the south, unlike the one who had ambushed or found a shortcut to attack the Wuhuan School Mansion.
This made Yang Tao even more surprised. However, he couldn't understand the reason why Tian Qing quietly withdrew his troops, so he could only send people to continue to stare. As for the focus, it was naturally focused on attacking the Wuhuan Captain's Mansion.
