Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 71: The Yellow Turbans in the Eastern Han Dynasty
Dozens of catapults were pushed under the city of Guangzong. The soldiers and Qingzhuang pulled the ropes, and the 30-kilogram stone was thrown out, hitting the city wall of Guangzong city in a parabola in the air!
A wooden arrow tower of the Yellow Turbans was hit by a stone, and a corner was directly smashed, and a hapless Yellow Turban archer was killed.
The catapult was so powerful that the damage to the city walls of Guangzong was not the main effect. The more obvious effect was to lower the morale of the Yellow Turbans.
Anyone is afraid of a stone that is thrown in the face.
The 12-meter-high siege tower of the Han army has approached the city wall of Guangzong City under the cover of catapults and infantry. The archers of the Shesheng Battalion on the siege tower shot an arrow, and the arrow cluster shot through the yellow turban soldiers on the city wall. .
The generally thin cloth and leather armor of the Yellow Turban soldiers could not withstand the arrows of the high-ranking archers, and fell to the ground with arrow feathers on their bodies, and their eyes gradually lost their luster.
The dozen or so siege towers were all equipped with excellent archers from the Han army, who commanded aloft and tried to suppress the Yellow Turban archers.
The difference between the city wall of Guangzong City and the siege tower is 4 meters. The yellow turban archers on the city wall must shoot the siege tower upwards, and the effect is not good. What made the Yellow Turbans even more uncomfortable was that they not only had to face the siege towers that commanded the city, but also the Han army archers throwing bows and arrows under the city walls, and the catapults that were still showing their might.
The Han army's cloud echelon and rushing team have also begun to move.
This is an unprecedented war in the Eastern Han region. For the lords participating in the war, it is more of a shock and inspiration.
No lord has organized such a large-scale battle, and they have witnessed a tragic siege battle here, which is a harvest in itself.
"When will my territory be able to support tens of thousands of elites and possess hundreds of large-scale siege weapons?"
Chutian, who watched the battle as a reserve team, was shocked by the scale of the battle.
This is not the biggest battle in the Eastern Han Dynasty. The campaign in Lords can be bigger.
The other lords are also excited, and they all want to train a division of a hundred battles comparable to the Eastern Han army.
"Haha, I chose the Han faction this time. With Lu Zhi and Liu Guanzhang present, as well as excellent troops and a large number of soldiers, how can we lose? I think we can break Guangzong City today."
Huo An's words were full of confidence in Lu Zhi and the Han army.
The Han army team wins, and any player who joins the Han army faction can get military merit.
"Don't talk too much. Zhang Jiao shouldn't be defeated so easily. It's only the fifth day of the battle."
Chutian is not as optimistic as Huo An. The offensive against Guangzong County has just begun. If Zhang Jiao is easily defeated, Lu Zhi does not need to be careful.
"The Han army has already begun to prepare to enter the city!"
A lord who was concentrating on observing the battlefield exclaimed.
Under the cover of archers, siege towers, and catapults, the Han infantry used sandbags to fill in the ravines under the city, paving the way for the ladder cars, siege towers, and flying ladders to approach the city wall.
The Han army is obviously experienced in siege, not in a hurry, but in an orderly manner.
Boom!
The heavy ram slammed hard against the heavy city gate, the city gate shook violently, and the rammed earth city wall shook off a lot of soil.
The Yellow Turbans in the city hurriedly tried to reinforce the city gate to prevent it from being breached by the Han army.
When the city gate was in a hurry, the Han army's cloud-ladder vehicle was approaching the city wall, and the two sides began to see. The soldiers of the Han army, led by the military marquis, were preparing to **** the city wall.
The rain of arrows on both sides has already caused hundreds of casualties to the Han army, and the losses of the Yellow Turbans are no less than a thousand.
The rain of arrows continued, and the focus of both sides turned to the battle for the city wall.
Every moment Han soldiers were killed, and the casualties of the Yellow Turbans were even more serious.
"Firebow, burn their siege tower for me!"
Zhang Liang stabbed a Han soldier to death with one shot, and let the archers set the rocket.
A flaming arrow fell on the siege tower of the Han army, trying to prevent the suspension bridge of the siege tower from being lowered.
The height of the siege tower is still above the city wall. Once the suspension bridge is lowered, a large number of Han infantrymen will climb to the city along the siege tower, which will be a disaster.
A team of yellow turban soldiers carried hot kerosene and poured it on the ladder car. The hot kerosene flowed down the ladder. The climbing Han soldiers screamed and fell from the ladder.
The Yellow Turbans are not the opponents of the Han army in frontal combat, but with the city defense fortifications, they can cause a lot of casualties to the Han army.
The battle between the two sides was fierce. A siege tower had been ignited by rockets, burning roaringly, billowing black smoke, so that the black smoke could be clearly seen in Chutian several hundred meters away.
In order to storm Guangzong County, the Han court took out all the old bases.
The Yellow Turbans' will to resist is very tenacious, and their morale has not declined for a long time.
Not to mention Lu Zhi, even Chutian is distressed by these losses. In this way, the Hundred Battles Division of the Han court was lost in the tragic siege of the city.
But this is also the helpless choice of the Han court. If the Yellow Turbans are not put out as soon as possible, and the Yellow Turbans from all over the country converge, the Han court will perish faster.
"Zhou Yafu, if you are given Lu Zhi's troops, do you have the confidence to capture Guangzong City?"
While watching the battle, Chu Tian also wondered if Zhou Yafu would have performed better than Lu Zhi if he had led the battle in place of Lu Zhi. One of the two is a famous general of the Western Han Dynasty, and the other is a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhou Yafu nodded: "Of course."
"How long will it take?"
"The more time, the better. If our army has enough food and grass, it is best to besiege the city until next spring and summer, and then capture the city."
“…”
Seeing Zhou Yafu's serious expression, Chu Tian knew that his words were not a joke~IndoMTL.com~ Zhou Yafu's fighting style is stable.
After besieging the city for a few months, it is estimated that the Yellow Turbans themselves will go crazy, and Zhang Jiao will also die of illness. By then, it will be easy to capture Guangzong City.
"I don't understand why Lu Zhi is so eager to attack the city?"
Chu Tian believes that if possible, Lu Zhi will most likely choose the same siege tactics as Zhou Yafu.
Zhou Yafu still carefully analyzed: "There are three possibilities. First, Lu Zhi is eager for quick success; second, the Han army is short of food and grass; third, the above is urging him."
Chutian considers the first two points, it seems unlikely that the Han army is located in the populous and fertile Hebei region, and the food is not bad.
Then it is very likely that the above urged Lu Zhi to fight. Above is Han Lingdi.
Chu Tian thought that Lu Zhi was indeed removed because he offended the **** when he was besieging the Yellow Turbans. Could it be that this battle will forcefully trigger the story of the Han army changing generals?
When Chu Tian and Zhou Yafu were discussing the military, hundreds of Han troops had already attacked the city wall, and Guangzong City was in danger.
Zhang Liang led the Yellow Turban Chang to fight the Han army in a **** battle, driving the Han army down from the city wall, and his body was dripping with blood.
Zhang Liang was also a fierce general, killing more than a dozen elites of the Han army one after another. The long sword of the yellow scarf collided with the Han sword of the Han army, and the sound of fighting was endless.
However, only Zhang Liang's side can drive out the Han army, and the Han army in other directions is attacking the city wall by means of ladder trucks, and is expanding the scope of occupation of the city wall.
Just when the Yellow Turbans were unable to support them, a team of burly Yellow Turbans arrived. This group of yellow turban soldiers wore iron armor and looked extremely powerful, and the commander of this yellow turban warrior was a pale middle-aged man with a yellow turban tied.
When Zhang Liang saw the man, he was both happy and surprised: "Brother, you are finally here!"
