Chapter 333 Guangling fell, street fighting!
Chapter 333 Guangling fell, street fighting!
"What did I just see? A heavily armored tank? Is this still a human?"
"Dude, you haven't gotten used to it yet? This is a game world. Ever since Guan Erye defeated the Yellow Turbans and chopped open the city gate with three swords, I no longer regard these civil officials and military generals as human beings. They are all gods, each of them is the level of Wen Quxing and Wu Quxing incarnated on earth. Just treat them as a modern heavy armored combined brigade, and the civil officials are supercomputers."
"Zhou Yu's Nemesis: Zhang Liao, Effect: When facing Zhou Yu, 100% victory, no other negative effects."
"Are you being polite? But let me be honest. Zhou Yu has appeared three times and was defeated by Zhang Liao twice. It seems that he still won't get any benefits this time. I feel that Zhou Yu may be stuck with Zhang Liao and may become a demon in his heart."
"Zhang Liao is really too fierce. Unlike the second master who took the enemy's head in the midst of thousands of troops, Zhang Liao is more like a desperate man who wins with a small number of soldiers. Those soldiers are also very powerful. Five hundred fought against thirty thousand, and killed more than four thousand. If he had not specifically targeted the shield soldiers and slaughtered them indiscriminately, Zhou Yu's casualties should have increased by more than two thousand."
"Although we killed fewer people, if these shield soldiers were killed, it would cost more to attack again, which is definitely not comparable to two thousand infantrymen."
"No, buddy, do you really think that Zhou Yu's army of more than 100,000 only has these 3,000 shield soldiers? Just because the shield soldiers equipped with these 30,000 troops were killed, it doesn't mean that all the shield soldiers are dead. Please figure it out."
"I have to say, Zhang Liao is awesome."
Dazzling comments quickly surged through the live broadcast room, like a tide, disappearing in a flash. Everyone was amazed at Zhang Liao's bravery and felt sorry for Zhou Yu. They all said that this would happen once and for all, but it would not happen again for the third time. If Zhou Yu failed again this time, he would probably not be able to fight back against Zhang Liao next time.
In this offensive and defensive battle, Zhang Liao, at the cost of only 3000 cavalry, cut off the heads of nearly shield soldiers in the siege of Jiangdong soldiers. At the same time, he also killed nearly a thousand infantrymen, and several third-rate generals hidden among them, all of whom were killed by Zhang Liao's long-range spear. The standard spear used when leaving the city was also replaced twice in the battle. Once, the spear head was scarred and could not be used, and another time it was chopped off by a second-rate general hidden in the army with a broadsword.
However, these 400 cavalrymen were all veterans who had followed Gu Rubing and had experienced hundreds of battles. They were also elite cavalrymen who had participated in the previous two battles with Zhou Yu and had made great military achievements. The exchange of one for ten showed their terrifying combat power.
As Zhang Liao drove his horse into the city gate, the heavy city gate slammed shut, blocking the army that was entering in a stream. The archers on the city gate drew their bows and arrows, and wave after wave of arrows fell like an overwhelming force. Without the protection of the shield soldiers, the infantry could only dodge in panic.
Zhang Liao's deputy general was named Zhao Yong, a brave man who rose step by step from the ranks to become a second-rate general. As his name suggests, he had been under Gu Rubing's command since Gu Rubing cleared out the Yellow Turbans in Qingzhou. In the last battle for Guangling, he was assigned as Zhang Liao's deputy general to stop Zhou Yu who had gone around.
After seeing Zhang Liao successfully enter the city, Zhao Yong no longer had any scruples. He took the lead in launching wave after wave of attacks towards the city gate, and finally suppressed the army 150 meters away from the city gate, preventing it from advancing any further.
The first wave of attack and defense ended with Zhang Liao's great victory. Zhou Yu's heart seemed to be covered by a shadow, and that shadow was Zhang Liao holding the yellow dragon hook sickle. When they first met, he charged into the army of 50,000 with more than a thousand cavalry; when they met again, he charged into the army of 5,000 with hundreds of cavalry, killing only a thousand people; now they met again, and he exchanged 400 cavalry for 3,000 shield soldiers and more than a thousand infantry.
Inside the tent, Zhou Yu's face turned pale. Huang Gai looked at Zhou Yu from the side, his Adam's apple moving slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
"Tonight! All four walls, launch a full-scale attack!"
Zhou Yu almost roared in anger, and someone on the side tried to dissuade him.
"General Gongjin, our army is now in a state of defeat. We cannot send out troops again. We should rest and recuperate."
The first person to speak was a gray-haired Confucian scholar, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Huang Gai who was standing beside him.
"Shut up, what do you know? Zhang Liao didn't have many troops to begin with, and now he has lost his elite troops. We should take this opportunity to capture Guangling City in one fell swoop, and then wait for Liu Bei to come to our rescue!"
The white-haired scholar was about to continue speaking, but was interrupted by Zhou Yu's wave of his hand.
"The letters we sent to Cao Cao fell on deaf ears, with no response. In addition, we have not received any information from Cao Cao. In this case, every delay of a quarter of an hour means a delay in the opportunity to fight, which will lead to the failure of the attack on Guangling City! Okay, it's decided. Tonight, we will launch a general attack. Have the catapults arrived?"
"Reporting to the general, all twenty catapults have been transported outside the camp!"
Huang Gai replied with a bow.
"Then follow the plan just now and launch a general attack tonight. Whoever cuts off Zhang Liao's head will be granted the title of Marquis of Ten Thousand Households and a reward of a thousand gold coins!"
"promise!"
Inside the tent, all the civil and military officials accepted the order and left. Only the old scholar with gray hair was trembling. He looked at Zhou Yu, who was looking down at the geomancy map, and shook his head helplessly.
He was the military advisor accompanying the army this time, although he was only in name only, he knew a little about everything. That morning, Sun Jian sent someone to deliver an urgent letter over a distance of 800 miles. The letter was about Liu Biao's Jingzhou army attacking Yuzhang and Lujiang counties, as well as a large group of cavalry entering Jiujiang county, probably tens of thousands of cavalry with flags fluttering, all of them were Gu Rubing's Qingzhou army.
Although Sun Jian did not ask Zhou Yu to return to Jiangdong, under the current circumstances, it would be impossible to capture Guangling City in a short time. Returning to Jiangdong, encircling and killing the cavalry in Yangzhou, and then severely damaging the Jingzhou army in one fell swoop, taking Jingzhou, and relying on the wealth and vast resources of Jingzhou and Yangzhou, fighting a protracted war with Gu Rubing is the best option.
But unfortunately, no one would listen to the words of this military strategist in name only. The old scholar sighed, walked out of the camp alone, returned to his own tent, and waited quietly for the outcome of the battle.
"Liu Biao has launched a full-scale attack on Yangzhou, and Master Zhang San has also brought the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun to Jiujiang County. Although no substantial damage has been caused to Yangzhou yet, with the remaining forces of Sun Menghu, I am afraid that he will not be able to stop Master Zhang San and the army of Jingzhou. It is only a matter of time before the city is lost. It depends on how Sun Menghu breaks the deadlock."
"Break the impasse? I think it's difficult. If Liu Zhongtian doesn't join the battle, Sun Menghu and Cao Zhonger may still win by using fewer troops to defeat more. Now Sun Menghu has been dragged into the quagmire. In the north, there is the battle for Guangling. In the west, there are the attacks and defenses of Yuzhang, Lujiang, and Jiujiang. At the same time, we have to resist the invasion of Japanese pirates from outside the region. Where can we mobilize troops? Although Cao Zhonger has strong troops, most of them have been sent to guard the county city. Only a few can be mobilized. Even these 50,000 people are temporary imperial guards to make up the numbers. There is no chance of breaking the impasse."
"I think so too. The combat effectiveness of Liu Caoxie's troops is too strong. The attack power of Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu's troops is simply incomparable to Liu Caoxie. It must be said that Liu Caoxie truly achieved the status of a hero rising from humble beginnings."
"The alliance between Cao Zhonger and Sun Menghu is really useless. They don't have any information or tacit understanding with each other, and their fighting ability is average. I can only say that they planned to let Liu Caoxie win."
"Liu Caoxie is a perfect template for a savior protagonist. His ancestors were princes. Although they have fallen on hard times, they still have righteousness in their hearts. Since he was born, he has never been defeated and has been advancing triumphantly all the way until now he has become the number one prince. And now he has to get rid of the only two princes who can threaten him. It can only be said that Liu Caoxie is the most suitable protagonist for a savior novel." "Do you really think that Zhang Liao's less than 10,000 men can withstand the attack of Zhou Yu's nearly 130,000 troops? In addition, Zhou Yu has dispatched 20 siege vehicles and launched attacks from all sides at the same time. Not to mention anything else, this army of more than 100,000 can kill Zhang Liao and his men even if they are piled up with people."
"+1, I feel like they have a fixed mindset. Zhang Liao won the first two times, but he may not be able to win this time. The more troops there are, the smaller the difference in combat effectiveness between them. And since it's a siege, Zhang Liao's best cavalry charge won't be useful. I think Zhou Yu will win this time. Not only will he win, but a big victory here will also radiate to other areas. In this way, with a two-front battle and a battlefield stretching for thousands of miles, Liu Caoxie won't be able to hold out for too long, right?"
At night, netizens who were watching the live broadcast after work conducted a thorough analysis of the current situation. Excluding subjective influences, the result of this analysis was that most people still tended to believe that Zhou Yu would win. After all, offense and defense are not as good as encounter battles.
Before the second siege, Zhang Liao gathered all the residents of Guangling City in the Guangling City Governor's Mansion. The entire Guangling City was deserted. This was the second line of defense set up by Zhang Liao. In the street fighting, the biggest difference in numbers between the two sides would no longer exist. Relying on the alleys that extended in all directions, Zhang Liao was ready to fight a fatal battle with Zhou Yu here!
If 400 people were counted as cavalry, then Zhang Liao had the confidence to lead them to fight their way in and out seven times. However, he currently had less than 1600 troops, including only 2000 cavalry. The last time he rushed out of the city, he lost more than cavalry. Now there are only cavalry left, and archers, and the rest are infantry.
Moving the battlefield from the city wall to the alley was the only way Zhang Liao could think of to hold out until support arrived. Two days ago, he received a letter sent in by someone who had desperately broken through the siege. The letter was written by Gu Rubing himself. The letter was very simple, only a few words, but it made Zhang Liao determined to defend Guangling City to the death.
At night, hundreds of thousands of troops launched an attack from the four sides of the city walls at the same time. The dark army rushed forward like a dark cloud. Zhang Liao stood on the south wall, holding his yellow dragon hook sickle, with the same momentum as before. One man can block the pass and ten thousand men cannot break through.
With less than 10,000 people, they defended the city against an enemy force of nearly 130,000. This was even better than the previous two battles in which the outnumbered side defeated the larger force.
"Soldiers, the Jiangdong rats are invading, what should we do?"
Zhang Liao's deep voice echoed out, sweeping across the front city wall.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
The defending soldiers roared in anger. Zhang Liao took the 200-stone bow handed over by his deputy general Zhao Yong, drew the bow and aimed at the star flag of the Jiangdong Xiandeng Camp. He shot an arrow, which streaked across the sky, making a series of sounds of breaking through the air, and broke the flagpole of the Xiandeng Camp.
This arrow greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers defending the city. They also drew their bows and fired a wave of arrows at the advancing army. However, under the cover of the shield soldiers, the wave after wave of arrows did not have any effect on their advance.
Zhou Yu stood in the rear, observing the advance of the army. When the army was only 200 meters away from the city gate, Zhou Yu gave the order.
"put!"
At Zhou Yu's command, twenty huge rocks burning with flames were thrown high up and rushed towards the city gate with unstoppable force. Zhang Liao no longer leaned on his sword, but swung it, using the Ring Shadow Hook Scythe Technique to slash out. With three strokes of the sword, he broke one of the huge rocks burning with flames into pieces. Although Zhang Liao was willing, he was powerless and could only break one piece.
Other boulders hit the city wall, causing it to fly everywhere. The tung oil wrapped in the boulders splashed all over the city wall, and in an instant a raging fire broke out.
"put!"
Twenty huge stones flew up again and flew towards the city wall. In order to break through Guangling City, Zhou Yu brought all twenty catapults to the south wall where Zhang Liao was stationed.
Looking at the burning fire, Zhang Liao knew that it was useless to guard the city gate any longer, so he gave the order immediately.
"Pass on my order. Everyone, retreat from the city wall. According to the established strategy, pull the battle line into the alleys and defend every alley! It will only take one day. In one day, the lord's reinforcements will arrive!"
"Send the general's order, retreat from the city wall, follow the established strategy, and retreat to the streets!"
"Send the general's order, retreat from the city wall, follow the established strategy, and retreat to the streets!"
"Pass the general's order, retreat from the city wall..."
……
As a result, the south gate became the first gate to be broken into. After the gate was opened, there was no one on the main street. If Zhou Yu had a God's perspective, he would definitely not let the army enter the city.
Because in the city, except for the main roads, other streets and alleys, large and small, are already filled with ambushed soldiers. On the four auxiliary roads except the main roads, there are 400 cavalrymen on each side ready for battle. They are the first line of defense, dispersing the army entering the city.
It is said to be the first line of defense, but in fact it is more like a suicide squad, using their own lives to break up the enemy camp, forcing them to enter the streets and create conditions for street fighting for their comrades.
Deputy General Zhao Yong was currently leading a team of cavalry. The army entering Guangling City had already appeared in front of him, but he was not in a hurry. After the enemy army had gathered to a certain extent, he slowly walked out of the cavalry formation.
The best charge distance for cavalry is 1,500 meters, but now there is no such requirement. Zhao Yong took off his armor and held a long spear, which was given to him by Zhang Liao before he went down the city wall.
Zhao Yong held a long spear in his hand, rode his horse and started charging, ready to die.
Behind him, four hundred cavalrymen also raised their spears, followed Zhao Yong, and began to charge!
