Chapter 205 Cavalry raid at night! The player army is defeated!
Chapter 205 Cavalry night raid! The player army was defeated miserably!
In a valley near the border of Pingyun County.
A team is moving forward at night.
This is an army composed of tens of thousands of players and soldiers.
They are the first batch of troops sent by the player coalition to the frontline cities.
After giving up five cities, the player alliance still has 17 cities, and they are all concentrated in the south.
When the imperial army arrives, the player's territory will bear the brunt.
Therefore, they had to send troops to guard the cities on the border.
Based on geographical location.
No matter which road the imperial army entered Pingyun County, it had to pass through three cities.
Therefore, after they transferred their troops to different positions at the county seat, they immediately dispatched troops and generals to rush to these three cities.
As long as they successfully defend these three cities and use the rear cities to provide logistical and military assistance, the players will have great hope of winning this war.
Players received 150,000 advanced troops and 50,000 elite troops from Qin Yuan.
This is a very powerful force.
It is still three points better than the previous government army.
Therefore, whether it is individual players or guild forces, their confidence has skyrocketed.
This army of tens of thousands is mainly composed of the local Glory Guild and Kongge Guild, plus some individual players and groups.
"There are still twenty kilometers to Falling Star City!"
"You can arrive before dawn!"
In the team, Guild Leader Guanghui looked ahead and murmured.
Being the vanguard of the coalition this time is of great significance.
They must arrive at Luo Xing City before the imperial army arrives, so as to set up defenses and use the city's advantages to resist the imperial army.
In the past, the players' coalition forces may have been very afraid of the imperial army and felt that they had no chance of winning.
But after their strength skyrocketed, after some discussions and comparisons, the chance of them keeping their word was very high.
In particular, the imperial army led by Gongsun Zan should have no heavy siege equipment.
And this is just the first step of the player alliance plan.
The first step is to use the city as a line of defense to resist the threat of the imperial army and gain living space and time.
The second is to seek a breakthrough and break out of Pingyun County.
Of course, this is not to invade other county areas, but to break the blockade and leave Pingyun County.
This is also one of the default retreats for the player alliance.
Because based on their speculation, the imperial army would definitely not let Pingyun County fall into the hands of bandits like them.
No matter how much time and energy it takes, we will definitely get back control of Pingyun County.
If these people continue to stay in Pingyun County, they will continue to be punished by the imperial court.
Even if you withstand a wave of attacks, there will be a steady stream of attacks behind you.
Therefore, leaving Pingyun County is the only other way out.
Even if only part of the army escapes Pingyun County in the end, it will still be a success.
As for Pingyun County, as long as the court doesn't give up, the players have no chance.
The cities they occupy now are just temporary territories, after all, they are not territories that truly belong to them.
If it were during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, there might still be a chance.
But now, the world still belongs to the Han Dynasty.
Unless the players' coalition can resist the imperial army for half a year, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion comes, perhaps the imperial court's attention will not be on their small border county.
This is also one of the ways out for players.
Therefore, what decisions the players make depends on the situation of their battle with the imperial army.
If cities can be used to block the imperial army, then players will naturally be unwilling to give up these cities.
You know, if you build a village from scratch and develop it into a city, you don't know how much time, energy and resources will be invested.
What's more, they now have many guilds that own a city, as well as many villages and towns with hundreds of thousands of people.
If we only focus on the territory evaluation, as long as the guild owns a city, it will definitely be able to enter the top 100 in the ranking of the entire Han region.
As long as they can withstand this trend, the strength and status of these guilds will skyrocket.
"The news just came from offline, there is nothing unusual outside Falling Star City!"
"It seems that the imperial army led by Gongsun Zan has not arrived yet. This is good news for us!"
"We must enter Falling Star City before the imperial army arrives!"
President Kongge said on the side.
Since news about the imperial army was blocked, they had no way of knowing where the imperial army was.
It can only be inferred based on whether the surrounding cities were attacked.
But now, players in any city can go online and offline freely, which means that no city will be attacked and enter a state of war.
This is good news for them.
Luoxing City is one of the southernmost cities in Pingyun County, and it is also the most vulnerable city to attack.
At the same time, it is also the first city captured by the player alliance!
"Is there any news about the other two cities?"
President Guanghui asked.
"Still no imperial army found!"
Another guild leader spoke up.
"Okay, let the army move forward at full speed and pass through the valley ahead. We must reach Falling Star City as soon as possible!"
President Guanghui said.
His order has just been conveyed.
Suddenly, they felt the ground shake violently, and the sand and stones began to vibrate.
The faces of everyone who had many war experiences suddenly changed.
At this time, they would definitely not think that this shaking or earthquake was caused.
cavalry!
And it’s a large-scale cavalry!
What they guessed was correct. There were sounds of war horses neighing around the army, and then a large number of cavalry poured out from all directions.
Because it was dark, they had no way of knowing how many people there were in this cavalry!
"No, we were ambushed!"
Everyone's expressions changed.
"Don't panic, order the army to enter combat mode!"
Guild Leader Guanghui immediately ordered.
At the same time, let the army shrink quickly and gather together.
Before knowing the enemy's strength, it is best to make a defensive posture in advance and then make next instructions based on the situation.
But this cavalry was obviously well prepared, and as soon as it appeared, it came towards them to kill them.
After a while, the team encountered a fierce cavalry charge, and a large number of cavalry rushed into the player's team.
Countless players were killed by cavalry.
Since the team was in a marching state, it was in the shape of a long snake.
After being attacked by cavalry, the army was divided into many parts, and even lost contact with the senior leaders of each guild. Normal communication between superiors and subordinates was impossible, and they could only fight independently.
But the strength of this cavalry is so powerful that even those advanced soldiers who have just transferred to different professions cannot withstand the charge of this cavalry.
This feeling made them feel like they were dreaming back to the fear of being dominated by the Black Wolf Emperor Cavalry led by Qin Yuan half a month ago.
When fighting on the plains, cavalry has a natural advantage.
Although there are many Yanyun Qingqi combat units in this player team, the number is only a few thousand.
"Reporting to General Gongsun, the number of this rebel army is about 50,000, and they have all entered the valley area!"
"Our army has completed the raid on the rebels and divided the rebels into six parts!"
"But the rebels are not weak and are resisting tenaciously!"
On a hilltop, a general reported to a group of generals wearing armor.
This man was Gongsun Yue, a disciple of Gongsun Zan and a general.
This time he led the Youzhou Cavalry, a total of 100,000 people.
They had already entered the boundaries of Pingyun County.
However, they did not attack border cities like Starfall City as the players expected.
They actually bypassed Falling Star City and launched an attack on this player army of tens of thousands.
And all this was because they received accurate intelligence information and thus completed a precise raid.
"Okay, give me the order and everyone will attack!"
Gongsun Yue ordered.
"Yes, General!"
The generals stood up one after another and led groups of Youzhou raiders to attack the player's army.
One hundred thousand Youzhou Assault Riders are like one hundred thousand wild beasts hunting at night, rushing towards the player.
"It's the Youzhou Cavalry under Gongsun Zan's command!"
One player exclaimed, "I have seen this cavalry outfit on the official website!"
Just as the first wave of cavalry raids ended, another large wave of cavalry charges ushered in.
For a time, this official road that stretched for several miles turned into a bloody battlefield.
The player's army is surrounded by groups.
Although there are various advanced arms in the army, it is difficult to resist the 100,000 Youzhou sudden cavalry.
Youzhou Tuqi is a cavalry trained by Gongsun Zan, and is also an advanced unit.
Compared to Yan Yun Qingqi in terms of strength, he is only stronger than weak.
Because the Yanyun Qingqi in the player's hands are all level two.
And this Youzhou cavalry followed Gongsun Zan in the north and south. They fought outside the Great Wall for many years and put down rebellions in many places. Half of them were at the third level.
Although not as good as the White Horse Yi Cong, it is much more powerful than other armies.
"How is this possible!"
Everyone was shocked.
They never expected it.
Gongsun Zan's army has entered the territory of Pingyun County and launched a perfect surprise attack on them.
At this time, they suddenly discovered that the front and rear of the team had been separated by enemy troops, and they were surrounded by enemies, completely surrounding them.
Obviously, the enemy has laid an ambush here, waiting for them to get in.
"Maybe there's a spy out there!"
President Kong Ge said angrily.
Their marching route was not kept secret.
After all, there are not only players from various guilds in this team, but also some individuals and groups, so it is difficult not to leak the news.
However, for the enemy to be able to ambush so accurately, he must have revealed accurate intelligence information.
The enemy was very smart and did not attack any city.
Instead, they chose to bypass the city and ambush the player's army on the only way to Falling Star City.
The location was also chosen particularly well.
This happens to be a valley, and the surrounding terrain is higher, which is conducive to the cavalry charging downwards.
As long as the front and rear sides are blocked, an encirclement can be formed.
The number and strength of the enemy's army far exceed that of the player's army.
At this time, everyone only felt a burst of fear and despair.
"No matter what, we will find a way to break through!"
"This is not far from Falling Star City!"
"Also, we have to pass the news to the coalition forces!"
President Guanghui remained calm and said.
"We have two elite units, the Strong Shield Warrior and the White Dragon Spear King, by our side. Together with the Yanyun Qingqi, we will definitely be able to rush out!"
President Kongge said.
In this situation, enemies are everywhere in the mountains and plains.
The enemy was well prepared to ambush, occupying the right time, place and people.
The player will definitely lose this battle.
What they can do is to break through as much as possible and reduce casualties and losses.
Instead of fighting them to the end.
In that case, there is only a dead end.
The enemy army has just completed the encirclement, and our own army is still resisting tenaciously.
If you break out in one direction at this time, the chance of success is not high.
If they can't delay further and their own troops suffer heavy casualties, it will be difficult for them to escape again.
"There is a dense jungle to the east, let's break out over there!"
Under the night sky.
A bloody and brutal battle broke out in the valley.
In this battle, the player's army suffered heavy losses and numerous casualties.
Only one person out of ten can escape.
And this is not an isolated case.
The troops sent by the player alliance to the three southernmost cities were all attacked halfway.
In just one night, one hundred thousand people were killed by the imperial army!
This news broke and once again detonated the entire official website forum.
Countless players were in an uproar.
Unexpectedly, the army led by Gongsun Zan had already invaded Pingyun County, and no one knew anything about it.
The players' alliance was even worse. They suffered an ambush and were directly reduced by one-fifth.
Among them, many are advanced military elite units that have just completed their job transfers!
This battle allowed players to see the power of Gongsun Zan's cavalry.
They also let everyone know that they were not only powerful, but also capable of using tactics, and even took advantage of poor intelligence to catch the player coalition forces off guard.
It was precisely the lack of intelligence that caused the player coalition to lose 100,000 troops!
Even if the players had taken precautions, they would not have suffered such huge losses.
As a result, everyone in Pingyun County is in danger.
Because after the various armies suffered a disastrous attack and defeat, the Youzhou Cavalry disappeared again, and no one knew where they were.
This is completely different from the combat aspects that players had imagined before.
Gongsun Zan's army never thought of attacking any city, but instead engaged in guerrilla warfare with them, taking full advantage of the cavalry.
This is the scariest place!
Players don't even have a solution to this.
They had no idea where exactly these tens or hundreds of thousands of Youzhou Cavalry would appear.
However, the player army that was originally preparing to rush to the southern city did not dare to move!
Because once they leave the city, they may be attacked at any time.
According to players' speculations, someone must have leaked information to Gongsun Zan's army for being able to attack various players' armies with such precision.
These spies secretly lurk among the players and deliver news to them.
These are probably some members of the gentry class. After all, the Gongsun family has a great influence in Pingyun County.
It may also be some players who are trying to get in and out.
After all, it is not uncommon for players to betray others for profit.
However, the army led by Gongsun Zan did not attack and capture cities one after another as they expected.
Instead, they crossed the city and entered Pingyun County, probably at the border, or perhaps sneaked into the hinterland of Pingyun County.
As a result, even the central city, or even the northern city occupied by Qingfeng Village, may be attacked at any time.
