Chapter 400: Plans from all sides, assault from Huang Zhong
"Brother Yu Cheng, you are injured. Please go aside and rest first. This kid will be left to the three of us brothers to deal with." Wang Qiang said to Yu Cheng.
Since Yu Cheng had just fought to the death and suffered serious injuries, if he were forced to stay, not only would there be no effect, but it would also affect everyone's performance.
After all, the three brothers must still take care of him.
"Brother Wang Qiang, be careful. This person is extremely powerful. Even if General Chu Xuan wants to defeat him, I'm afraid it will take some time." Yu Cheng was afraid of Wang Qiang and the three of them, because they would bully more and deal with less.
Yun Xiaohu had the intention of underestimating the enemy, so he reminded him.
"Don't worry, brother." Wang Qiang immediately gave Yu Cheng a calm look. Yu Cheng felt relieved when he saw this, so he picked up the mountain-breaking ax in his hand and left.
However, when leaving, he lent Wang Qiang the Zhangerbin iron gun that Fan Yuming used during his lifetime.
This was because what Wang Qiang was holding was just an ordinary spear, which would definitely have an impact on his performance in battle, so Yu Cheng lent it to him.
"Brother Yu, thank you very much." Wang Qiang took Zhang Erbing's iron gun in his hand and thanked Yu Cheng.
Although this spear is just an ordinary mortal-level divine weapon, in the final analysis it still belongs to the order of divine weapons and plays an irreplaceable role in combat.
………
"Kill me, Pao Ze, how can I tolerate you? Today, Brother Qiang, I will let you kid know that you bullied me, a bald man, and I will kill you without any discussion." Wang Qiang held the spear in his hand, and suddenly felt a different aura pouring out of him, and immediately
He shouted coldly.
Later, he was seen holding the Zhang Erbin iron gun in his hand, cooperating with Xiong Da and Xiong Er to deal with Yun Xiaohu.
At this time, Zhao Pusheng also came.
Although at this time, he still has not passed through the period of weakness, his face is no longer as pale as after retreating from the critical attack, and he still has the strength to fight.
[Ding dong, Wang Qiang’s skill ‘Smart Spear’ is activated;
Skillful Spear: A gun-wielding general, one of the commonly used skills for awakening, which can be upgraded to a spirit spear skill. The effects of skills held by different people are different;
Effect 1: When wielding a gun against an enemy, your own force is 4, and the opponent's force is -1;
Effect 2: When facing an opponent using heavy weapons, it can randomly suppress the opponent's force value by 1 to 3 points;]
[Ding dong, Wang Qiang’s skill ‘Smart Spear’ is activated with effect 1. When activated against an enemy with a gun, his own force is 4 and the opponent’s force is -1;
Wang Qiang’s basic strength is 97, Iron Spear 1, Tiger Roar -3, Shout 2, and the current strength has increased to 101;]
Although Wang Qiang's posture gave people the impression that he was rolling up his sleeves and working hard, in fact he was letting Xiong be the leader, Xiong was the second, and he was the sixth.
The weapons Xiong Da and Xiong Er used were iron rods. In terms of strength, not even Yun Xiaohu could compare with them.
However, no matter how powerful they are, it will be difficult for them to be useful under such a disparity in force. Fortunately, Zhao Pusheng is still the main force responsible for the attack.
Although Zhao Pusheng is a little weak, he still has 111 strength. With Xiong Da and Xiong Er assisting him, Yun Xiaohu will not be able to defeat them for a while.
After fighting for more than ten rounds, Yun Xiaohu finally broke out.
[Ding dong, Yun Xiaohu’s skill ‘Howling Sky’ effect 2 is activated. Shout can shock the opponent’s mind through roaring, thus causing a decrease in force value. Each time it is activated, the opponent’s force is -1, and it can be activated up to three times;
Currently, Zhao Pusheng's force value is reduced by one point, and Zhao Pusheng's current force value drops to 110;
The current force value of Xiong Da is reduced a little, and Xiong Da's current force value drops to 105;
The current force value of Xiong Er is reduced by one point, and the current force value of Xiong Er is reduced to 105;
Currently, Wang Qiang’s force value is reduced by one point, and Wang Qiang’s current force value drops to 100;]
Due to the loss of these four points of force, even if the four of them joined forces to deal with Yun Xiaohu, they would still be in danger at this time. However, at the critical moment, Xiong Da took the main attack direction.
[Ding dong, the bear’s big skill ‘Giant Power’ is activated with effect 2, overwhelming people with force. When fighting one-on-one, it can randomly reduce the opponent’s force value by 1 to 4 points. In group battles, it can reduce the opponent’s entire force value by 2 points;
We are currently fighting a group battle, so we have reduced Yun Xiaohu’s force by two points. Yun Xiaohu’s current force has dropped to 114;]
This wave of suppression by Xiong Da came at just the right time, killing Yun Xiaohu's two points of force value in one go, which instantly reduced the pressure on Zhao Pusheng, who was actually the main attacker.
During this time, he slowly recovered from the battle, finally passed the period of weakness and was able to deliver critical strikes again.
[Ding dong, Zhao Pusheng’s skill ‘Crit’ has effect 1, effect 2 is activated one after another, his own force is 7, and he suppresses Yun Xiaohu’s force by 1 point;
Zhao Pusheng's current force has increased to 117;
Yun Xiaohu’s current force has dropped to 113;]
After charging up, Zhao Pusheng immediately activated the critical strike skill without hesitation, and his force instantly surpassed that of Yun Xiaohu, allowing him to attack head-on.
However, since this was not the first time he used it on Yun Xiaohu, and the latter was already on guard at this time, he did not exert much suppression.
With only two points of high force value, even with the assistance of Wang Qiang and three others, it would be difficult for Zhao Pusheng to defeat Yun Xiaohu, because his current critical strike skills do not last long.
Moreover, up to now, Yun Xiaohu's suppression has not been fully activated.
[Ding dong, Yun Xiaohu’s skill ‘Xiao Tian’ effect 2 is activated, the current force value of Xiong Da is reduced by one point, Xiong Da’s force value is -1, and the current force value is reduced to 104;
The current force value of Xiong Er is reduced by one point, Xiong Er's force value is -1, and the current force value is reduced to 104;
The current force value of Wang Qiang is reduced by one point, Wang Qiang's force value is -1, and the current force value is reduced to 99;
Currently, Zhao Pusheng’s force is reduced by one point, and Zhao Pusheng’s current force is reduced to 116;]
This is Yun Xiaohu's terror. He can suppress up to seven points in a single fight and six points in a group battle. It is precisely because of this that he has not been defeated even under the siege of several people.
Moreover, the more he fights, the braver he becomes. If he continues to fight with this momentum, Wang Qiang and the others will be in danger when Zhao Pusheng enters a period of weakness.
[Ding dong, Wang Qiang's skill 'Yell' effect 2 is activated. During group battles, the opponent's force value can be randomly reduced by 1 to 4 points;
The current force of Yun Xiaohu is reduced by one point. Yun Xiaohu's current force is -1, and the current force is reduced to 112;]
Due to the disparity in force between the two sides, Wang Qiang could only reduce Yun Xiaohu's force a little, but even so, the impact on the battle situation was very large.
Because Zhao Pusheng clearly felt that Yun Xiaohu's power was declining, which made him even more excited. He immediately increased his energy output, hoping to resolve the battle as soon as possible.
At this time, Xiong Er also provided an assist for Zhao Pusheng.
[Ding dong, Xiong’s second skill ‘Giant Power’ effect 2 is activated, and he is currently in a group battle, so Yun Xiaohu’s force value is reduced by 2 points. Yun Xiaohu’s current force value is -2, and the current force value is reduced to 110; ]
As Yun Xiaohu weakened, the tacit cooperation between Zhao Pusheng and Wang Qiang became better and better, and the balance of the battle finally tilted towards the four of them.
However, at this critical moment, Zhao Pusheng felt that the energy in his body began to drain away, and he immediately guessed that this was a sign of entering a period of weakness.
Therefore, Zhao Pusheng planned to make one final gamble.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle!
Perhaps God was helping them, but when Zhao Pusheng was about to run out of energy, shouts of death suddenly came from outside the city.
Outside the east gate, thousands of Han troops were seen slaughtering the Yellow Turban Army, and the leader was none other than Huang Zhong.
It turned out that during the war, in order to attract Huang Zhong away, Yun Kuang made a big splash at the North Gate and launched a large-scale attack. Zhao Pusheng specially transferred him to the North Gate for safety reasons.
Yun Kuang originally thought that after he transferred Huang Zhong away, with his arrogant character, he would kill the generals as long as he prodded them more, and then he could use the army to surround him.
And this is also true.
The person responsible for attacking the North Gate was the Yellow Turban Army general Ji Wenyuan.
Speaking of the heroes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the most impressive ones are Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Zeng Tianyang, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and others. Not only did they have outstanding military exploits, but they were also the focus of attention by later generations when they studied the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
For example, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were the commanders-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army. With 20,000 troops, they dared to march across the Central Plains and approach Yanjing.
In the early days of the Taiping Rebellion, under Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang were the absolute pioneer generals.
However, there is one person whose status is second only to Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang. He is Ji Wenyuan, the third-ranking figure in the Northern Expeditionary Army, and he is a true and powerful general.
During the Northern Expedition, Ji Wenyuan led the army from Pukou to Fengyang to join forces, passed through Anhui, Henan, crossed the Yellow River, entered Shanxi, and returned to the east.
Finally, at Linming Pass in Hebei Province, he defeated the Qing Zhili Governor-General Ner Jing'e's troops, causing a great shock to the Qing court. Ji Wenyuan also used his merits to pacify Huhou.
You must know that during the Yang Xiuqing era, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not easily grant marquis titles to generals, and only a handful of generals could get marquis titles.
Before 1854, the only generals who could be conferred the title of marquis were Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, and Ji Wenyuan, and even the brave and capable Luo Gang had no chance.
Moreover, Yang Xiuqing had clear rewards and punishments, rewards for meritorious deeds and punishment for delinquencies. Ji Wenyuan was able to achieve the achievement of becoming a lord, so his ability was naturally very powerful.
Ji Wenyuan, as the Taiping Army's third-ranking general in the Northern Expedition in the early stage, has no doubt about his abilities. His basic commander level has reached 91. Otherwise, he would not be able to stop Huang Zhong.
It's a pity that he seriously underestimated Huang Zhong's force value. It's easy to imagine that Huang Zhong's force value can make people as proud as clouds and arrogant treat him with caution.
What's more, Zhu Can, Qi Hualong, Zhang Zijie, and Zhang Zilie brothers were also out of the city this time to assist Huang Zhong.
[Ding dong, Huang Zhong’s skill ‘Ambition’ is activated;
Ambition: Only with great ambition can one be fearless of difficulties and obstacles. The effects of skills held by different people are different;
Effect 1: When activated against the enemy, as the fighting spirit in the heart increases, one's own force value will also increase accordingly. Each time it is activated, one's own force value is 3, and can be activated three times at most. When the fighting spirit reaches its peak, it can be activated once
launch;
Effect 2: When you personally go into battle to kill the enemy, your own commander 2, the morale and combat power of your entire army will be partially improved;
Effect 3: When the fighting general is activated, it can randomly reduce the opponent's force value by 1 to 6 points. This skill effect can be activated in either single combat or group battles;
Effect 4: Unyielding. As long as you have the courage and fighting spirit in your heart, when you encounter negative skill effects, you can reduce the negative skill effects by half;]
[Ding dong, Huang Zhong’s skill ‘Ambition’ has effect 1 and effect 2 activated one after another. Currently, Huang Zhong is personally going into battle to kill the enemy. His own force is 3, his commander is 2, and the morale and combat power of his entire army have been partially improved;
Huang Zhong, commander: 91, force: 106;
Equipment: Red Blood Knife 1;
The current force has increased to 110, and the commander has increased to 93;]
Huang Zhong's own leadership ability is not bad to begin with. Coupled with the blessing of the Zhuangzhi skill, he has reached the level of a high-level bronze commander, which is much better than Ji Wenyuan's commander attributes.
Although the gap between the two commanders is not a crushing one, don't forget that the equipment of the Han army is not comparable to that of the Yellow Turban Army wearing ordinary leather armor.
Under the command of Huang Zhong, the formation deployed by Ji Wenyuan could not sustain it for long, especially since the Han army still had him, a golden general, personally leading the charge.
Under the leadership of Huang Zhong, the morale and combat effectiveness of the Han army were partially improved. In less than an hour, the military formation deployed by Ji Wenyuan became somewhat loose.
"This Yellow Turban General seems to be not simple. No wonder Yun Kuang asked him to stop me." Huang Zhong said secretly in his heart.
From the posture of Ji Wenyuan's command, he could see that the latter was quite capable. However, in this battle involving tens of thousands of people, personal force was also a factor that could not be ignored.
Especially when these Yellow Turbans are just a mob.
As Huang Zhong fought bravely, in less than an hour, the Han soldiers, who were like blood-struck chickens, forced themselves into Ji Wenyuan's military formation and tore a hole in it.
"Don't panic, hold on, as long as General Yun takes Yuancheng, we will win." Ji Wenyuan said to his men.
Perhaps it was because Yun Kuang had left an impression in the Nanyang Yellow Turbans' mind these days that he was the most brave and brave in the world. With the comfort of Ji Wenyuan's Chicken Soup for the Soul, the Yellow Turban Army was already on the verge of regrouping.
However, Ji Wenyuan did not know at this time that it was precisely because of his shout that Huang Zhong finally determined his position.
However, Huang Zhong is now about three hundred steps away from him. Even if he is a marksman, he is not absolutely sure that he can accurately hit the enemy at this distance.
If Ji Wenyuan had not died, he would have gone into hiding completely. He was looking for an opportunity to kill him, which would not be an easy task.
Therefore, Huang Zhong did not go to Ji Wenyuan to fight at the beginning, but slowly moved closer to him. When the distance between the two reached about two hundred steps, he bent his bow and shot an arrow.
[Ding dong, Huang Zhong’s skill ‘Magic Shot’ is activated;
Sharpshooting: the top skill of bow and arrow, the second advanced skill of rapid shooting, and the first advanced skill of flying shooting. The effects of skills held by different people are different;
