Three Kingdoms Summoning: Peak Resurgence

Zhang Jue's skill of wise teacher can increase the command of the designated general by up to three points when leading the army into battle, but it is not an easy task to achieve maximum horsepower.

After all, the higher the commander's attribute, the weaker the random increase will be.

Just like Bai Qi in the original novel, even though Zhang Liang and Guo Jia were both military advisors, each of them only provided him with a slight increase in command.

Therefore, with Xiang Yan's current command, Zhang Jiao can only increase his command by 2 points at most.

However, even so, Xiang Yan's command attribute directly reached 99 points, surpassing Wei Xiaokuan's basic command.

After Xiang Yan took over the command of the army from Zhang Jue, he formulated a response strategy based on the terrain of Hulao Pass.

The 250,000 Yellow Turban Army had no way to deploy their forces in such a terrain, so on the first day he sent out 50,000 troops to attack Hulao Pass, and divided them into five teams, each with 10,000 troops, which took turns to attack the city in succession.

This way, the army can be utilized effectively, a certain amount of rest time can be maintained, and the soldiers' siege efficiency can be improved.

The Yellow Turban Army spent more than half a year preparing for this battle, and all the siege equipment was ready, including siege ladders, as well as siege towers, battering rams, catapults and other siege equipment.

It can be said that there was nothing that the Mohists could not do, except what the Han soldiers could not think of. The densely packed siege equipment was dazzling to look at.

Looking at the mighty pass in front of him, Xiang Yan stroked his long beard and said loudly: "Send the order down, order Commander Fang Guozhen to lead the first team to prepare for the attack!"

The task that Xiang Yan gave to the first team of the Yellow Turbans was not to attack the city tower, but to fill up the moat of Hulao Pass.

After all, this moat is the first obstacle blocking the Yellow Turban Army from attacking Hulao Pass. If it is not filled up, the difficulty of the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Hulao Pass will increase by at least 30%, and many innocent soldiers will die tragically.

Therefore, Xiang Yan had to fill it up, because only by filling it up could he minimize the damage in the next attack and use the army more effectively.

Because of this, he directly sent Fang Guozhen, who was not only a strong leader but also a master of martial arts. After receiving Xiang Yan's order, Fang Guozhen immediately took a spear and led the first team of 50,000 Yellow Turban Army towards Hulao Pass.

.........

"Team one, attack."

Under Fang Guozhen's command, the first team of 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers officially began to attack the city. Under the influence of Zhang Jiao's wise teacher skills, the eyes of all the Yellow Turban soldiers were filled with burning colors, as if they were brainwashed cult believers.

If you want to break through Hulao Pass, you must first fill the moat. Only in this way can the Yellow Turban Army, as the attacking party, minimize losses.

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Under the central command of Xiang Yan, Fang Guozhen led 10,000 Yellow Turban soldiers, forming a formation of two teams each. The Yellow Turban soldier in front charged forward holding a shield, while behind him were the Yellow Turban soldiers carrying sandbags.

They were seen rushing towards the moat of Hulao Pass, braving the rain of arrows shot by the Han army on the wall of Hulao Pass.

"As expected of the Yellow Turbans' number one general, this old fellow Xiang Yan is indeed a shrewd and scheming man." Seeing this, Wei Xiaokuan, who was standing at Hulao Pass, had a hint of fear in his eyes.

With Xiang Yan's arrangement, the Han army's arrows would be temporarily useless, so Wei Xiaokuan quickly ordered to stop shooting arrows, and then said to Wang Gui and Wang Wei on his left and right: "Pass the order down, wait for the enemy to enter the attack range, first release the thunder stones, and then the bows and arrows."

Now, the attacking Yellow Turban soldiers are some distance away from Hulao Pass, and bows and arrows are naturally useless to them. But when they reach a certain distance, the result will be completely different.

[Ding Dong, Wei Xiaokuan's skill "Iron Wall" effect 1 is activated. When leading the army in a defensive battle, his own command +4, force +4, the morale and combat power of the entire army...are greatly improved; Wei Xiaokuan, command: 98, force: 92;

Equipment: Shangtang Sword +1;

The current commander has risen to 102, and the current force has risen to 97;】

With the enhancement of skills, Wei Xiaokuan's command attribute has reached a terrifying 102 points, which is on par with Wang Jian's basic command. It is naturally a piece of cake for him to deal with Xiang Yan, whose current command is only 99.

"I have received your order." After hearing Wei Xiaokuan's order, Wang Gui and Wang Wei responded in unison and then quickly went down to make arrangements.

During this period of more than half a year, not only was the Yellow Turban Army ready to attack the city, but the Han Army was also ready to defend the city. With the operation of the imperial machine, the Han Army was also well prepared to defend the city, and there was no shortage of supplies for defending the city.

As soon as the Yellow Turban soldiers approached the moat, they were met with a volley of arrows.

"what…"

"what…"

"what…"

There were constant screams on the battlefield.

Under the command of Wei Xiaokuan, the Yellow Turbans' attack was not smooth. Xiang Yan, the commander of this battle, showed a trace of solemnity on his face after seeing the casualties of his own army.

"Wei Xiaokuan, it seems that the Han army's city defender is him!"

Even Xiang Yan had to admit Wei Xiaokuan's ability, especially when he was in a defensive battle, he was simply invulnerable.

Of course, if he had not been commanding the Han army to defend the city in the Battle of Changsha, Xiang Yan would have captured Changsha long ago. How could he have been taken advantage of by Wang Yu and became famous by riding on his fame?

However, as the commander on the front line, Xiang Yan also knew that even if he was very afraid in his heart, he could not show it on his face, so he immediately acted calmly.

"Pass the order down to push up the siege towers and catapults to cover the army's movements." Xiang Yan said indifferently to Bo Cai beside him.

"Yes." Bo Cai responded and went to the rear to pass the order. Not long after, rows of huge monsters slowly drove out from the rear of the Yellow Turban army.

"The Yellow Turban Army is going to use real weapons!" Upon seeing this, Wei Xiaokuan immediately said to Liu Ye beside him in a deep voice: "Mr. Liu, tell the stone-throwing troops to prepare to defend the city."

"I obey your command." After receiving the military order from Wei Xiaokuan, Liu Ye couldn't help but show excitement on his face. The new type of catapult that he and his fellow apprentices had developed over the past few days had finally come to test its power.

During these days, Wang Yu was not idle. He trained the Han army's catapult troops every day in order to increase their proficiency in trebuchets and thus improve the speed of loading and firing.

Every increase in their speed would increase the damage to the enemy, reducing losses for more soldiers and preventing them from being attacked by the Yellow Turban Army's catapults.

Now is the time to test the results.
