Chapter 189 Battle on the Plains! Switch sides before the battle!
Pingyun Plain.
It is the largest plain in Pingyun County, vast and boundless.
There are twelve cities located on this plain, accounting for one-third of all the cities in Pingyun County.
There are countless villages and towns, and their resources are extremely rich.
Whoever occupies this plain basically controls the lifeblood of Pingyun County.
today.
On this endless plain, flags were waving, drums roared, and hundreds of thousands of troops gathered here.
The government army even summoned 200,000 troops and stationed them on the plain.
After many days of war, various situation changes, the influx of foreign players, the joining and betrayal of the noble class, the participation of mysterious forces and other reasons.
The player coalition finally turned defeat into victory and began to gain the upper hand.
Even relying on their numerical advantage, they defeated the government's army many times on the frontal battlefield.
From originally capturing only one Luo Xing City, now, they have successfully taken ownership of eight cities.
These cities are mainly located in the east and south of Pingyun County.
But the ambitions of the player coalition are not satisfied with this.
This time, all the players were summoned, and hundreds of thousands of troops were assembled with the intention of attacking Pingshan Plain.
Due to the failure of the offensive, the government army lost consecutive battles and suffered heavy losses.
It changed the previous strategy, switching from offense to defense, and mobilized city guards from various cities to guard the Pingshan Plain together with the government's regular army.
Now, the two sides have launched a large-scale battle to compete for the flat mountains and plains.
The government army has no way out. After all, if the Pingshan Plain is lost, the alien alliance will expose more than a dozen cities to the enemy. It will only be a matter of time before they fall.
Even Pingyun County was exposed to the enemy's attack range.
The government army's 200,000-strong army was divided into multiple square formations, spanning more than ten miles.
The shield soldiers and infantry were lined up in a neat line, and the scene was extremely spectacular.
On the other side, a large number of troops emerged on the mountain and official roads, and the overall appearance was chaotic.
But the victory lies in the large number of people, the sea of people, the darkness, the number is at least twice as many as the officers and soldiers.
It rolled down from the mountains like a mudslide and headed towards the plains.
However, among the chaotic army, there were some who looked comparable to the regular army of the Han Dynasty.
For example, the army led by Baihua Palace numbered as many as 20,000.
There are more than 10,000 soldiers among them, all of whom are well-equipped and powerful advanced combat units.
The other 10,000 are the elite players in Baihua Palace and some ordinary soldiers.
Baihua Palace relied on this advanced unit with powerful combat capabilities and the influence of Baihua Palace to become the leader of the alien alliance.
He was also one of the leaders of this battle.
Surrounding the Baihua Palace army is the Youzhou guild army.
Such as the local Kong Ge, Guanghui, Tongxin League, Tianyu Guild, etc. Although the strength of each guild is not as strong as Baihua Palace, they can still assemble thousands of troops.
There are twenty or thirty members of Ba Jue Tian Xia, You Shui Hui, etc. who have come from other places, and their troops have reached more than one hundred thousand.
In addition, there are also some private armies hidden among the players' teams.
The players' coalition has assembled an army of five to six million people this time.
This is several times larger than the army of players that surrounded Qingfeng Village before.
Moreover, the overall strength has risen to a higher level.
It also has the strength to confront the regular army of the Han Dynasty.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of war drums was deafening, the morale of both sides was greatly increased, and the battlefield exuded a chilling atmosphere.
Murderous aura surged into the sky, and the clear sky was covered with a layer of dark clouds, covering up the scorching sun.
Hundreds of thousands of troops from both armies were constantly approaching.
Two thousand meters!
Five hundred meters!
One hundred meters!
Kill kill kill!
Following the military orders one after another, the two armies fought head-on and violently collided.
If you look down from a high altitude, you can see that the battlefield covers a radius of more than ten kilometers, and there are fighting soldiers everywhere.
The scene was extremely spectacular and tragic.
If you look closely, you can see soldiers from both sides fighting together, with blood splattering and soldiers falling down constantly.
The ground was covered with corpses and blood.
Although the number of the government's army is far less than that of the players' coalition, its overall strength and military quality are higher than those of the players' side.
Therefore, after the war broke out, there was no obvious disadvantage.
In such a large-scale war, the winner cannot be determined at once.
The battlefield is like a giant meat grinder, constantly harvesting the lives of soldiers on both sides.
Inside the government army camp.
County Lieutenant Ping Zhengwu and General Jing Lu stood side by side. The two of them looked at the overall situation, issued military orders sternly, and changed the deployment of troops according to changes in the battlefield situation.
"According to rough estimates, the number of enemy troops is between 500,000 and 650,000!"
"We only have 230,000 troops!"
"It is unrealistic to defeat the enemy in this battle. At most it will be a draw."
"If another 100,000 troops are transferred from the county seat, they will definitely be able to deal a heavy blow to the enemy!"
Jing Lu said with a solemn expression.
Since the rebellion in Pingyun County, the player team has grown rapidly.
And from fighting separately before, they have now become a powerful fighting force.
On the government side, there were originally nearly 400,000 Han regular troops, but now there were only 230,000 left.
From the original 200,000 city defense troops in each city, there are only 150,000 left!
In this battle, 130,000 Han regular troops and 100,000 city defense troops were dispatched.
It is already most of the government army!
"No, we have deployed a large number of troops, and there are only a few hundred or thousands of defenders left in various places!"
"And the county town must be heavily guarded. These 100,000 elite soldiers must not be moved!"
"You also know that some families collude with strangers. If the county's military strength is empty, others may take advantage of it!"
"Also, don't forget that Qingfeng Village is still watching in the north!"
County Lieutenant Ping Zhengwu said heavily.
The situation in Pingyun County is not optimistic.
All they can do now is linger on.
I'm afraid we won't even be able to wait for reinforcements from the imperial court.
Moreover, they had no hope at all for reinforcements from the imperial court.
They also got some information from the official faction behind it.
The so-called reinforcements will only push them into the abyss.
Pingyun County is already in a desperate situation, and no one else can save them except themselves.
"Then what we can do is to block the enemy's steps as much as possible!"
"We don't need to defeat the enemy in this battle. As long as we can draw, we will be considered victorious!"
"The enemy wants to organize another attack, at least for a few days!"
Jinglu said.
"That's right, the flat mountains and plains are the first line of defense. We can't lose it yet!"
Ping Zhengwu said.
The government army currently has only the last two lines of defense left.
One is the plain defense line, which is related to the safety of more than a dozen cities.
Once they fall, these ten cities will inevitably fall, and they will lose their strategic vertical and horizontal areas and their logistical support.
The last line of defense is Pingyun County, which is also the government's last hope.
Even if other cities in Pingyun County fall, they can hold on to the city and hold on for a while.
According to the government's strategy, they need to rely on the flat mountains and plains to hold off the alien coalition for at least three days to buy enough time.
When the imperial court orders it, Gongsun Zan will definitely send troops to put down the rebellion.
Although Pingyun County will fall into the hands of Gongsun's family, it will at least ensure that their Ping family will not be exterminated.
The imperial court could punish county magistrates for dereliction of duty, but Gongsun Zan did not dare to lynch the Taira family openly.
If the county is captured by the alien alliance, the Taira family and the families that favor the Taira family will definitely be destroyed by the players.
"Report!"
Suddenly, a soldier hurriedly ran into the camp. "Reporting to the County Lieutenant, General, a large number of enemy troops have appeared in the rear of our army and have broken through the rear camp!"
"What!"
Ping Zhengwu and Jing Lu were shocked.
At a time when the government army and the foreign coalition forces are fighting inextricably.
In the city located behind them, a large number of rebels appeared in the city. They eliminated the city guards and took ownership of the city.
And, after quickly gathering, they headed towards the battlefield.
Like a sharp blade, it stabbed the government army from behind, breaking the deadlock.
For a time, the government army was attacked from both sides, and the situation reversed instantly.
