Chapter 150 Yellow Turbans attack, Guang’an shows its power
In other words, even if Meng Gong is good at defending the city, he will definitely have a general with copper wall or iron wall skills. If he encounters someone with such a combination of skills, it will be quite miserable.
Fortunately, Ge Rong does not have such a skill.
[Ding dong, Zhang Renyuan and Chang Yi's combined skill "Copper Wall and Iron Wall" has effect 1 activated. Zhang Renyuan is currently the leading general, so the commander is 3, Chang Yi is the subordinate general, so the commander is 2, and the force of the entire army is 1;
Zhang Renyuan's current command has increased to 101, and his current force has increased to 94;
Changyi's current commander has increased to 99, and his military force has increased to 102;
Zhang Fei's current basic strength is 99, Zhangba Snake Spear is 1, and his current strength has increased to 101;
Xu Feng's current basic force is 102, Golden Dragon Wind Slasher is 1, and his current force has increased to 104;
Liu Bei's current basic force is 94, Yuanyang Double Sword is 1, and his current force has increased to 96;
Guo Yong’s current basic military force…
...]
Zhang Renyuan's basic commander is not very high, barely reaching the silver level, but his skills are very powerful. Not only is he good at defense, but he is also quite strong in offense.
However, with such strength, it is basically impossible to defend Zhuoxian for a month under the offensive of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops.
And now, with the increase of the terrifying combination skill of 'Copper Wall and Iron Wall', Zhang Renyuan's commander attribute has successfully exceeded 100, and he has therefore directly become one of the top commanders in history.
Although this top commander has a lot of water content and can only be used in defensive warfare, as long as the monarch can make full use of this advantage, they are no longer inferior to famous commanders like Xue Rengui and Yue Fei.
…………
"Brothers, kill..."
"Set me an arrow, take aim, and shoot them to death..."
"Dong...dong...dong..."
As the war drums continued to sound, the Yellow Turban Army, under the command of General Ge Rong, marched towards the Zhuoxian County town in front of them, with steps that they would not recognize their relatives. The roars, shouts of killing, and wailings resounded throughout the sky.
At this moment, the offensive and defensive sides also officially began to compete.
Jinglan troops, trebuchets, rams and other siege weapons, under the command of Ge Rong, frantically attacked the Han army on the city.
However, even so, the fierce attack that lasted for an entire hour still did not take advantage of the Han army. The Han army also had the siege weapons that the Yellow Turban Army had, and there were quite a lot of them.
Under the mutual attacks between the two sides, the number of trebuchets of the Yellow Turban Army began to decrease to a certain extent, and even the Jinglan troops were affected.
In this hour, three Jinglan vehicles had been destroyed. At this time, Ge Rong had clearly felt that the defense of Zhuoxian County in front of him was almost impeccable.
Even if he personally commanded it, he would not be able to achieve any specific results under the fierce attack within this hour. If other generals were to take command, let alone achieving any results, they would probably suffer heavy losses.
No wonder Wang Yu is so relieved to deal with Xianbei and other foreign races in northern Xinjiang. It seems that he knows the abilities of Zhang Renyuan and others very well and has great trust in them.
He felt that with their ability, they could persist until he defeated the foreign tribes in northern Xinjiang and recovered the Hetao area, and then led his army southward.
And this Zhang Renyuan is really powerful. It took him only about a year to master the entire Zhuo County, but even so, he could still train such an army.
Moreover, as far as Ge Rong knew, there were many new soldiers in Zhuoxian County, but even so, they were still coordinated by Zhang Renyuan to a very perfect level.
It can be said that every Han soldier on the city wall has his or her own position, and the division of labor is very clear. In order to make the best use of everything, especially with mutual cooperation, they can exert 200% of their own strength.
strength.
If I had to describe it in one sentence, it would be that every piece of good steel is used exactly on the blade.
Faced with such an arrangement, conventional methods are of no use at all. The only option is to use the human sea tactic to sacrifice human lives and slowly wear down the enemy's morale.
However, the current battle has just begun, and it is far from reaching the point where human lives are needed.
Therefore, after some thought, Ge Rong decisively ordered the messenger: "Send the order immediately and let Shentu Zhen, Pang Wan, Guan Ying and other generals personally participate in the siege and attract some of the enemy's attention."
"Promise." The messenger immediately agreed and then came to the battlefield to convey the order of General Ge Rong.
When Shentu Town, Pang Wan and others heard this order, they were immediately excited, so without saying a word, they personally led their men to attack the city.
…………
At the same time, Zhang Renyuan, who was on the city wall, saw that the Yellow Turban Army sent fierce generals one after another and personally directed the army to attack the city, so he also sent generals such as Li Diannan, Xu Feng, Lin Yun, Du Sheng, and Zhao Yin to intercept.
Zhang Renyuan knew very well that facing the attack of hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban troops, if he was not careful, he would face the end of the city being destroyed and people killed. In particular, fierce generals like Shentu Zhen should pay the most attention.
After all, once they are allowed to climb the tower and no one stops them, they will rely on their own strength to forcefully open gaps and let the Yellow Turban Army attack through them.
It can be said that once this step is reached, half of the battle to defend the city is lost.
Therefore, after seeing Shentu Town and the others finally personally participating in the siege, Zhang Renyuan breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he no longer had to worry about it all the time, so he immediately sent out his most capable men to intercept.
In addition, Zhang Renyuan also mobilized 300 crossbowmen on each city wall to stand ready. As soon as Shentu Town and the others stepped onto the ladder, they would shoot random arrows.
Although Shentu Town was powerful and had the strength of a high-level god general, even he did not dare to be careless in the face of the attack of three hundred crossbowmen.
After all, facing such an attack from the wind and rain of arrows, even a strong man with the level of God of War must treat it with caution, let alone that he is only at the level of a high-level god general.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Zhang Renyuan did it directly this time and prepared with both hands. If the fierce general of the Yellow Turban Army really breaks through the arrow rain attack and successfully climbs the city wall,
Then Zhang Fei and other powerful generals can also effectively intercept.
In fact, just Zhang Renyuan's first-hand preparation made Shentu Town and others restrained. They could only use their weapons to block arrows, and were unable to concentrate on launching an offensive to attack the city wall.
They had just climbed the ladder, but before they had time to use the force to fly up, they were attacked by dense arrows. When they couldn't hold on any longer, they had no choice but to jump off the ladder.
In this way, Shentu Town and other yellow turban warriors tried to climb the city several times, but without any effect. On the contrary, they made themselves embarrassed and had no choice but to flee back to their base in disgrace.
The only difference is that Shentu Town did not suffer any damage due to its own strength and came back unscathed, while Guan Ying and others were all injured, but the injuries were not serious.
…………
"Commander Qu, the general and others are incompetent and failed to achieve any results." After Shentu Zhen and others came back in embarrassment, they immediately bowed their heads to Ge Rong and apologized.
When Ge Rong saw Shentu Town and others, he took the initiative to plead guilty to him. He immediately sighed, helped several people from Shentu Town up one by one, and said comfortingly: "I don't blame you for this, you have done your best."
"I see that Zhang Renyuan's layout is very tight, and its defense strength is difficult for even me to achieve. Moreover, they have assigned 300 crossbowmen to each city gate specifically to deal with you."
"It is only natural that such a situation should occur. Speaking of which, because of you, more than 900 crossbowmen cannot participate in the battlefield, which can be regarded as sharing some pressure for our army."
Hearing Ge Rong's comforting words, Shentu Zhen and others' faces improved a lot, but as the strongest person, Shentu Zhen's face was still full of unwillingness.
Because this attack on the city was so frustrating, he even climbed up the city wall.
"Commander Qu, the Han army has many archers and crossbowmen. It is difficult to gain advantage by attacking the city during the day. It is better to attack the city at night. Once night comes, the view will be blocked."
"At that time, our army can take the opportunity to launch a night attack. Even if Zhang Renyuan is prepared in advance, the accuracy of the crossbowmen's arrows at this time is not as high as during the day. With the strength of General Shentu and others, they will definitely be able to climb the tower.
"
At this time, Liu Haitian spoke at the right time and proposed a strategy that seemed more feasible.
Hearing this, Ge Rong's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked at Liu Haitian quite differently, his appreciation getting stronger and stronger, and then he smiled and said: "In this case, you can give it a try."
"Send the order, Ming Jin withdraws the troops." Ge Rong decisively issued the retreat order. As the gong sounded, the siege troops stopped attacking the city, and the entire army began to retreat to the main camp.
Not only that, Ge Rong also sent more than 10,000 troops to guard the city in case the Han army in the city suddenly broke out under the leadership of Zhang Renyuan.
"Haha, so what if the Yellow Turban Army came with reinforcements? That's the result. I didn't just leave in despair." Seeing the Yellow Turban Army begin to retreat, Liu Bei's general Man Niu immediately laughed and said, causing everyone to roll their eyes.
"What a reckless man."
At this moment, these four words are basically the voice of everyone. Even Liu Bei, as the lord, is a little speechless.
At this time, Zhang Renyuan said: "The enemy retreated too fast this time. If my prediction is correct, Ge Rong will definitely launch a night attack. After all, during the day, they will suffer a lot in front of the crossbowmen."
deficit."
"General Zhang, what about Xu Feng and I..." At this time, Li Diannan walked up to Zhang Renhai and asked pointedly.
"Just follow the original plan." Zhang Renhai said immediately, and Li Diannan and others also nodded.
…………
Late that night, there was only a faint moonlight covering the earth, and it could be said that you could not see your fingers. However, Ge Rong led more than 30,000 troops, as well as Shentu Zhen, Pang Wan and other generals, preparing to launch a night attack on Zhuoxian County.
At this time, in Zhuoxian County, the lights were sparse, and the city towers were also dark, with only a faint light. It could be seen that most of them were already asleep. This made Ge Rong secretly rejoice and thought in his heart, he was now stable.
"Send the order, the whole army attacks..."
Just when Ge Rong ordered Shentu Town and other generals to attack the city and had already arrived under the city wall, countless torches suddenly lit up on the originally dark Zhuoxian city gate, turning the entire city gate into darkness.
The night sky shines like daylight.
Immediately afterwards, a dense rain of arrows filled the sky and shot down from the city tower. Without any preparation, the Yellow Turban Army killed and injured a large number of people in an instant.
"Haha, Ge Rong, you are so smart that you were fooled by your cleverness. Do you really think that I would not have thought that you and the Yellow Turbans would not launch an attack tonight?"
Zhang Renyuan appeared on the city tower and shouted to Ge Rong below the city: "If you want to capture our army's Zhuoxian County, come and give it a try. I want to see what kind of price you have to pay for hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans."
."
"Okay, very good, Zhang Renyuan, you really angered me this time." Ge Rong, who had always been calm and composed, now had a ferocious look on his face.
He was originally a martial artist, but because he had been studying with his master Zhang Jiao over the years, his personality had changed a lot and he was no longer so impulsive and irritable. But now, Zhang Renyuan ignited the murderous intention in his heart.
"I want to see if you, the Han army, have more people, or I, the Yellow Turbans, have more people." Ge Rong said coldly, and then issued an attack order to Shentu Town and other generals: "The whole army attacks!
"
Originally, Ge Rong did not intend to launch a forceful attack and wanted to capture the county seat of Zhuoxian in front of him at the minimum cost. But now, the facts clearly told him that outsmarting Zhuoxian was completely undesirable.
Therefore, Ge Rong decided to attack by force and slowly consume the effective strength of the Han army.
[Ding dong, Ge Rong’s skill ‘Guang’an’ is activated…]
After activating the skill, Ge Rong's commanding attributes have also been greatly improved. Although he is still not as good as Zhang Renyuan, who has many buffs, he is not far behind at all due to the advantage of his military strength.
Seeing that Ge Rong had made up his mind to attack by force, Zhang Renyuan seemed to have expected it, because he prepared a large amount of kerosene and torches to light up the night like daylight, just to make Ge Rong retreat in spite of the difficulties.
However, he himself also knew that Ge Rong, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, would never come here to take advantage of the excitement and return in defeat. Even if this siege would cause heavy losses, he would launch the siege forcefully.
After all, even if the Han army's kerosene and torches were very bright, the night was still black, and the crossbowmen's accuracy would inevitably be affected and would not be as good as daytime.
The Yellow Turban Army's numerical superiority also means that it is not afraid of fighting a war of attrition. Just like the Battle of Julu a few months ago, the Yellow Turban Army can quickly replenish its troops even if it suffers hundreds of thousands of casualties in a battle.
However, the combat effectiveness of the army will be reduced to a certain extent.
At the beginning of the battle, the Han army relied on the suppression of the crossbowmen to form a certain advantage. However, as the generals from Shentu Town took the lead in the charge, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly increased.
With the use of siege weapons such as trebuchets, well traps, and rams, the Yellow Turban Army's advantage became even greater after they entered Zhuoxian County.
