Before Huang Zhong was promoted to Jinyu, he went into the mountain to kill a blood-red giant python. After killing the giant python, he was stained with the blood of the giant python and was promoted to Jinyu Armor.
This makes Huang Zhong's gold and jade armor, while mainly golden, also has some inconspicuous red lines.
Indirectly, the "instructions" for Huang Zhong's golden jade armor showed the practice method of "Blood Cloud Sword", which was also Huang Zhong's main practice after he switched to the army.
Huang Zhong did not tell anyone about the reason for this. After all, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty killed the White Snake in the uprising, so it would be bad if others misunderstood him as having any "intentions".
But sometimes, Huang Zhong also wondered, did Liu Bang's White Snake play a similar role?
The Blood Cloud Sword enabled Huang Zhong to awaken another combat skill - Blood Cloud Yangwei.
The effect is to make creatures within the blood cloud range, with chaotic thinking, regard themselves as the first attack target. At the same time, within the range covered by the blood cloud, Huang Zhong's red laser-like sword light can increase the attack range.
However, compared to "Shooting the Sun", Huang Zhong's mastery of "Blood Cloud Sword" is much simpler. Like "Shooting the Sun", Huang Zhong cannot derive "Fierce Bow" to bless his own soldiers and greatly increase his advantage in the battle.
special combat skills.
Moreover, the effect of "Blood Cloud Showing Power" does not distinguish between friend and foe, that is, it can only be used in a heroic manner. When Huang Zhong was the commander-in-chief, he actually tried to avoid using this move, but at this time he saw that a ladder was going to increase the effect of the battle, so
Only then did he step forward and take charge.
…
The offensive and defensive sides have been fighting fiercely for nearly four hours since the ladders were attached to the wall. Six ladders have fallen down, and the four backup ones have already been attached, but they are also shaky at this time.
Mainly because Wei Yan was frightened back by Shamoko. After going around the battlefield, he recommended Huang Zhong to organize a death squad and directly rush into the ladder and set fire to it, which greatly increased the efficiency of destroying the ladder.
After all, after only a short period of preparation, the siege equipment that was "rolled out" can set fire to a certain extent outside, and its ability to prevent arrows is already good...
It is easy to destroy from the inside. If you fail to defend the "entrance" even a little bit, you will be killed inside and endure the massive destruction from the defenders.
Wei Yan was a young man after all, and he reacted quickly enough, otherwise he might not have been able to make such a judgment of offensive and defensive positions immediately, causing the defenders to change their thinking and start attacking!
"The weakness was discovered earlier than I thought..." Chen Gong muttered with some disappointment, but still ordered the withdrawal.
Siege battles rarely happen in one go, and Chen Gong originally didn't expect to be able to defeat the city in one go.
The fight has been going on for a long time, and the morale of both sides has become low. If it continues, it will actually be more conducive to the morale recovery of the defender.
Judging from post-war statistics, the ratio of battle losses between the two armies was almost one to one...
The covered bridge car and Lu Gong's car narrowed the gap between the defenders and the attackers, and the equipment of the general's soldiers also smoothed out the final advantage of the defenders.
After the battle, both sides suffered more than 5,000 casualties each - the "wounds" of these casualties include all those who are temporarily unable to go to the battlefield, including some minor injuries, which are not final losses.
Moreover... the wounded soldiers in the General's Mansion, with the military medical system, can be expected to recover much better than those of the Rongling garrison.
According to the estimate of the military advisor, the number of wounded who can eventually recover is about 2,000, and the remaining few hundred can only reduce their suffering.
Although most of the wounded who could be withdrawn were not too seriously injured, otherwise they would not have a chance to withdraw from the battlefield, but... this ratio is still very remarkable.
Rongling's defenders were able to retreat over 2,000 wounded. After all, it was much easier for the defenders to retreat than the attackers.
Just because the army at this time, whether it was a general or a Ji Zao soldier, the recovery rate after casualties was too low. In addition to the army of the general's mansion, the military medical system was almost non-existent - there were basically some doctors with the army who had some ability.
It is enough to serve the middle and high-level generals, but for Ji Zao soldiers and low-level generals, the so-called wounded camp is just a "placebo".
Therefore, unlike the General's Mansion, the training program also specifically includes "simple self-judgment of injury" and "orderly evacuation and cover of wounded soldiers"...
Therefore, as the defending side, the number of wounded soldiers who retreated was only about the same as that of the attacking side.
Moreover, most of the more than two thousand people in Rongling can only rely on God's will and will. Without timely treatment, their injuries will gradually worsen, and the number that can be recovered in the end will not exceed half of the number in the General's Mansion!
The predictions of the canonical medical and military advisor were even somewhat beyond Chen Gong's expectations. However, Chen Gong still trusted the "canonical medical and military advisor" who came out of the medical school, that is, the military medical officer of an army.
So he put away his previous disapproval and designated a special field medical area for two hundred military doctors. Among these two hundred people, fifty were medical students. In fact, if they really wanted to treat people, they would not even go barefoot.
He is not as good as a doctor, he just has a quick knowledge of trauma treatment.
After returning home, not only will I be free of all the necessary repairs, but I will also be able to leave a lasting mark on my resume.
There are also one hundred and fifty people, who are special Ji-made soldiers synthesized from the manpower of people with corresponding skills.
Not only can it provide recovery for injured Jizao soldiers, but it can also be used as an assistant in the treatment of generals.
Then, if we allocate some assistance from the ordinary army, although it cannot be considered "complete", it can still barely cope with this intensity of auxiliary treatment.
Rongling's garrison only had 10,000 men in total. If the two armies were fighting in the wild today, with almost half of the casualties, the other side would have been defeated long ago!
Even as a defender, morale is easy to regroup and there is no way out, but after Chen Gong's timely retreat, when the opponent's "results" today gradually spread to the army, even if Huang Zhong can still organize a defense
, before the next siege, the enemy's morale will also drop sharply and become more unstable.
Therefore, generally when sieging a city, if you gain an advantage, you don't need to strive to complete the victory in one battle. You can withdraw first to give the enemy time to react to the drop in morale. Correspondingly... if the battle is unfavorable, you should try your best to fight in one go.
.
After the troops from the General Mansion withdrew, the military medical battalion treated the wounded in an orderly manner, while the engineering battalion continued to "roll up" the ladder.
The Rongling garrison tried every possible means to boost morale and prevent the spread of unfavorable rumors, but the effect was lackluster - after all, Jingzhou was still within the scope of the original "Xianshi Zhiwen", even if the general's mansion was rumored to burn, kill and loot after entering the city, the effect was lackluster.
Only 30% of people believe it.
And it was only because of the Wuxi barbarians that I believed it!
Three days later, Wei Yan led his men to sneak attack the soldiers who were logging in the mountains, but the trapped camp remained in ambush nearby...
Wei Yan and Gao Shun fought to a close, but Gao Shun was not a strong general who was good at single combat. He took a few steps back, and more than a dozen soldiers who were trapped in the camp stepped on the formation to surround Wei Yan. In the end, Wei Yan
He just lost his troops and retreated in embarrassment.
In the evening, Rongling ordered him to go out of the city to surrender, but the defenders in the city had already retreated when Wei Yan attacked the logging station, leaving only some pretense...
