Chapter 409 Changyi’s Iron Wall Fortified City, Zhang Renyuan’s Wisdom to Respond to the Enemy
With the continuous support of the two major skills of Jingqi and Swiftness, Xu Feng's command attribute reached 93 points.
Not only that, the movement speed of his cavalry has also been greatly improved. Especially in field battles, his advantage is far superior to that of the Yellow Turban Army.
After all, his mission is not to fight the enemy, but to completely contain the enemy and disrupt their formation.
The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army are basically a mixed bag of good and bad. You must know that fighting at night requires not only the commander to have excellent command capabilities, but also the quality of the soldiers.
Otherwise, in this dark light, it would be impossible to keep up with the commander's pace.
Because of this, the Yellow Turban Army frequently fell into disadvantage in its confrontations with the Han Army.
When this happens, it is naturally due to the fighting qualities of both sides. The Yellow Turban Army are basically ordinary farmers. Even after training, their combat effectiveness is not too high.
Especially in this dark time when basically nothing can be seen, the military quality of the soldiers on both sides is most tested.
After a fierce battle between the two warring parties, Chang Yoshizhi led his cavalry to leave calmly at midnight. In this battle, he succeeded in killing more than 2,000 Yellow Turbans at the cost of only over 100 cavalry casualties.
Of course, many of these people were accidentally injured by teammates and trampled to death. Not only that, Chang Yizhi also successfully completed the strategic goal this time and destroyed the fortifications built with great difficulty by the Yellow Turban Army.
The reason why this night attack was able to achieve such a result is naturally inseparable from the cooperation between Chang Yizhi and Xu Feng. The result of the two men's joint attack this time is far from as simple as 1 1 = 2.
It can be said that this attack not only disturbed the Yellow Turban Army, but also exceeded the target, achieved great results, and boosted the morale of the Han army.
It would be quite miserable for Liu Haitian to fall down twice in a row in one place.
……………
When Chang Yizhi and Xu Feng returned to the city, they discussed it and felt that Liu Haitian should make some repairs and wait until the fortifications were completed before attacking the city. In this way, some terrible losses could be avoided.
But the situation is.
On the second day, when Chang Yizhi and Xu Feng arrived at the city wall, they found that the Yellow Turban Army neither piled mountains of earth nor built flying bridges, wells and other siege equipment. Instead, they ordered the soldiers to carry the most unpretentious ladders.
He came directly to attack the city.
When things got to this point, Chang Yizhi didn't know that Liu Haitian had already seen through his intentions and knew that all the measures he had taken in the past few days were to delay time.
As the saying goes, Ci does not control troops. In order to capture Fanyang City as soon as possible, he naturally cannot let himself get what he wants. Even if it is the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army, he must fill it on the city wall.
Since there are no fortifications to cooperate with the siege, we use the most primitive ladders, and then slowly build wells and other siege equipment, and build fortifications while attacking the city.
"Compassion does not control soldiers, Liu Haitian, I have seen it today!" Chang Yizhi said bitterly, then gritted his teeth, punched the city wall hard, and ordered: "The whole army is ready to defend the city.
Iron Wall: Black as iron, indestructible. Different people hold different effects. When you are on the same battlefield with the holder of the Copper Wall skill and activate the skills together, the combo skill "Iron Wall" can be triggered;
Effect 1: When conducting a city defense battle, your own commander level 3, force level 4, overall morale, fighting spirit, combat power...and other comprehensive qualities of the entire army will be greatly improved!
Effect 2: When conducting an offensive battle, your own command is 2, force is 3, and there is a certain probability of penetrating the enemy's defense loopholes, reducing the opponent's command attribute by one point; (Note: This effect can only be achieved when attacking a fortress or attacking the enemy's formation.
launch.)
Effect 3: In addition to commanding offensive battles and defensive battles, regardless of commanding any war, the commander 1 and force 2 will be used, and the overall quality of the entire army will be partially improved.
Effect 4: When the number of casualties in the army under his command is nearly half, the force of the entire army will be 1;]
The same iron wall skill, Chang Yizhi's skill effect is not even inferior to Wang Chong's skill.
However, excluding Wang Chong, the first defensive general of the Han Dynasty, Chang Yizhi's iron wall skills must not be underestimated. After all, he is only weakening the latter, and basically has everything he should have.
Whether it is a city defense battle, a fortified battle, or other battles, Chang Yizhi can get an increase in the commander attribute. It can be said that this also proves that he is an all-rounder.
No wonder he was able to achieve such results in last night's battle. I'm afraid this is also due to the Iron Wall Effect 2.
After all, the latter is also very good at attacking fortresses. It can not only increase its own commanding attributes, but also additionally reduce the opponent's abilities.
In addition, Xu Feng, a famous speed general, fights at night... Under this premise, how can the Yellow Turban Army be invincible?
[Ding dong, Chang Yi’s skill ‘Iron Wall’ effect 1 is activated, and during the city defense battle, his own command level 3, force level 4, the morale of the whole army, fighting spirit, combat power... and other comprehensive qualities will be greatly improved;
Chang Yizhi, commander: 94, force: 96 (1);
Equipment: Iron point steel gun 1;
The current commander level has increased to 97, and the force level has increased to 101;]
At this point, the offensive and defensive battle of Fanyang City was announced to have begun.
…………
At the same time, here in Zhuoxian County.
Just when Liu Haitian launched a massive attack on the city, Chang Yizhi released the carrier pigeons in the city and used them to spread the news to Zhang Renyuan.
Many people's impressions of flying pigeons to deliver letters date back to the Tang Dynasty. At that time, literati at that time tied letters to pigeons' feet every time they corresponded with relatives and friends, so that the pigeons could "follow what they were taught."
Fly to throw it.
By the Song Dynasty, pigeon communication was recognized by more and more people and gradually occupied an important position in various information transmission methods.
It is recorded in "Facts of the Song Dynasty": "Nowadays, people domesticate domestic pigeons to communicate with each other, and it is not just a lie. They can carry them thousands of miles away and often return home."
"When people from Shu came to the capital with matters, they used pigeons to send letters, and they all arrived within ten days. People from Jia also used pigeons to communicate with their ships on the sea."
It was the Song Dynasty that really put flying pigeons to deliver messages and put them on the battlefield.
However, that is no longer the case in this era.
In the battles of Xingyang and Chenggao, when Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, was besieged by Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, he used carrier pigeons to deliver messages and attract reinforcements from Han Xin, and he successfully escaped from danger.
The "Book of Mountains and Seas" once recorded: There are three blue birds beside the Queen Mother of the West. They can fly across thousands of mountains and rivers to convey messages and convey the sounds of happiness, auspiciousness and happiness to the world.
It is said that the Queen Mother of the West once wrote a letter to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Che, and sent a blue bird to deliver the letter to the palace of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
In this era, since this legend exists, it is naturally unique. Just like Zhang Qian and Ban Chao used pigeons to convey messages to the royal family when they were envoys to the Western Regions.
It can be said that flying pigeons have already appeared in the Western Han Dynasty, but because the training technology is not mature enough, it has not been popularized among ordinary armies.
But in front of Wang Teng, Wang Yu and his son, this thing is not considered a technology at all. As early as a year ago, they had already mastered the method of training pigeons.
Today, this method is used to obtain information in advance and create a time difference.
However, the situation in front of him was destined not to be that easy, especially when Zhang Renyuan received the carrier pigeon from Chang Yizhi to deliver the news, he became even more anxious.
After all, Zhang Keliang and Gu Longxian's 70,000 Yellow Turban Army are waiting for him to support them and lure the snake out of the hole. If Guo Yong's 5,000 reinforcements don't arrive, he really won't have the confidence to rescue Chang Yizhi and the others.
However, when he learned that Liu Haitian forcibly launched an attack on Fanyang City without building fortifications or preparing siege equipment, he knew that something was wrong.
Liu Haitian was prepared to attack Fanyang City regardless of the cost. It can be said that Fanyang City is very dangerous now. Under such a crisis, Zhang Renyuan did not even bother to wait, and prepared to lead Guo Yong who had not yet arrived.
Seventeen thousand reinforcements set out.
"Brother, you must not do this." Seeing Zhang Renyuan actually doing this, Zhang Fei on the side couldn't sit still and persuaded Zhang Renyuan anxiously: "Brother, Gu Longxian and Zhang Keliang have 70,000 yuan in their hands.
The main force of the Yellow Turban."
"If we, General Guo Yong and Captain Li Diannan, rush out of the city before they arrive, we may be in danger of annihilating the entire army."
Zhang Fei is not a foolhardy person, and he can naturally see the danger involved. However, today is different from the past. Zhang Renyuan did not shrink back due to his brother Zhang Fei's persuasion. Instead, he took the initiative to explain: "Today is very special."
When the time comes, it’s natural to do something extraordinary.”
[Ding dong, Zhang Renyuan’s skill ‘Smart General’ is activated;
Wise General: Shen Yi is very wise and has the talent of a general. It can be upgraded to the 'general planning' skill. Different people have different effects;
Effect 1, after launching against the enemy, own force is 3;
Effect 2: When using wisdom, your own intelligence is 2;
Effect 3: When leading the army in combat, the commander will be 1;]
Zhang Renyuan's basic intelligence has reached 92 points, and the commander is also at the silver level, so it is normal for him to awaken such a skill.
As the initial skill of General Intelligence, it already has such an effect. It is hard to imagine what kind of effect its advanced skill General Intelligence will have.
[Ding dong, Zhang Renyuan’s skill ‘Wisdom General’ effect 2 is activated. When using wisdom, his own intelligence is 2;
Zhang Renyuan’s basic intelligence is 92, and his current intelligence has risen to 94;]
After explaining to Zhang Fei, Zhang Renyuan immediately began to think, and then immediately issued an order: "Yide, tonight you take advantage of the darkness that no one can spot you, and immediately lead an army of 5,000 people to march eastward out of the city. After daybreak, attack
Return under the banner of General Guo Yong and Colonel Li Diannan."
"Brother Xuande, I hope you can help us by commanding our troops."
Although Liu Bei has not yet reached his peak, after so many things, his intelligence has increased a bit and has reached 88.
After hearing Zhang Renyuan's words, his eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that he had caught something. However, to be on the safe side, he still asked with some uncertainty: "General Zhang, may I ask if you want to use the strategy of suspecting soldiers?"
"Of course." Zhang Renyuan replied, looking at Liu Bei with an increasingly serious look. No wonder the Lord would be so afraid of this person and ask him to be more careful about him. This sensitivity alone is not something ordinary people can do.
"But General Zhang, can you deceive Zhang Keliang and Gu Longxian with this? Since these two people were sent by Liu Haitian, I am afraid they are not just ordinary people?" Liu Bei was still a little worried.
"Actually, I don't know either, but you have to try it before you know whether it works or not. If you don't even try, there is only a dead end." Zhang Renyuan said with bright eyes.
"No." Seeing that Zhang Renyuan had already made up his mind, Liu Bei had nothing to say and could only choose to obey the order.
In order to rescue Chang Yi's army, which was still in Fanyang City and was surrounded by the Yellow Turban Army, Zhang Renyuan decided to take the risk and implement the strategy of suspecting soldiers, which naturally entailed considerable risks.
Because, once his trick of suspecting soldiers is discovered by Gu Longxian or Zhang Keliang, Zhang Renyuan will face a major test next, commanding 15,000 Han troops and seven
Thousands of Yellow Turban troops face off against each other.
If Zhang Renyuan had 15,000 Bingzhou Army soldiers and horses, then Zhang Renyuan would not be worried, but would be full of fighting spirit. After all, the Bingzhou Army's record is shown here, it is an army that has fought a hundred battles.
But the problem is that most of the Han troops in Zhang Renyuan's hands were adapted from bandit troops, and some were ordinary people. Although they had undergone many trainings, they had never experienced the baptism of swords and blood.
In a head-to-head confrontation, it is naturally impossible to win the Yellow Turban Army, which is nearly four times larger than our own.
Although Zhuojun's army, with the help of Hu Yan, absorbed various large and small aristocratic families, as well as local tycoons, and now has more than 30,000 troops, there are not many real elites.
Just like Zhang Renyuan now has 20,000 horses in his hands, he cannot take them all away. He must leave 3,000 people to frighten other counties and move to Zhuoxian.
Otherwise, he was really afraid that if he left Zhuoxian with his front foot, some local tyrants who were greedy for life and afraid of death and greedy for profit would surrender the city secretly.
But if this is the case, Zhang Renyuan will have to face a problem, that is, he has to use 17,000 Han troops to fight against the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, which is as high as 70,000.
Zhang Renyuan is not a coward, but he really has no choice. After all, it does not take long for him to develop with peace of mind. He has accumulated such a fortune in less than a year. He is already powerful enough.
If things develop according to normal conditions, without the arrival of reinforcements led by Guo Yong, it will not be easy for the Han troops under him to defeat the main force of the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army alone. Even if they win in the end, I am afraid that
It’s a lose-lose situation for both sides.
But as Fan Yangcheng was in a hurry, Zhang Renyuan did not dare to block it. Although his lord Wang Yu told him more than once that Chang Yizhi's defensive ability was not inferior to his, for the sake of the overall situation, Zhang Renyuan had to send troops in advance.
But the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army standing in front of him is another formidable enemy that must be considered. Forcibly confronting the enemy head-on will definitely not work, so he can only use the suspicion tactics.
