Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 73: One is in a hurry, and then it’s down
"Do you think my strategy of besieging and not attacking is right or wrong?"
"Master Lu is going to boil Zhang Jiao to death."
"Zhang Jiao used a magic art to damage his yangshou, and he might not live for a few days. Originally, if he had to wait another ten days, Zhang Jiao would surely die. Once Zhang Jiao died, Guangzong County could easily conquer it. But the imperial court is about to change generals...maybe Only Huangfu Song can capture Guangzong County."
Lu Zhi's reminder gave Chutian an important piece of information—Zhang Jiao might not live long.
If it wasn't for Lu Weiwei's dismissal from the imperial court, Chutian would not have had the chance to meet the aged Beizhong general.
"I will have the opportunity to visit Mr. Guanzhong or Zhuojun in the future."
Chu Tian knew that Lu Zhi's reputation in the family of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not low, and he wanted to make friends.
"The future of the big man should be handed over to you young people." Lu Zhi was slightly surprised when he saw Mulan and Zhou Yafu beside Chu Tian, "You have two good generals, it would be great if you could command more troops and horses. ."
"So I want to borrow something from Master Lu."
Lu Zhi simply chatted with Chu Tian, who had never met before, and was soon taken away by the Han army team.
Chu Tian knew that because of Lu Zhi's reputation, the court would not dare to kill him easily, and at most it would be a demotion, so he did not worry about Lu Zhi.
As for Lu Zhi saying that Zhou Yafu is a good general, Chu Tian still has some inexplicable interest in his heart.
Zhou Yafu was a general of the previous dynasty, Lu Zhi's senior, and a chariot general of the Han dynasty. His official position was much higher than that of Lu Zhi.
If Zhou Yafu were to direct this battle, he would hardly fail.
However, Chu Tian had no official position in the Han court, so he could not overtake his place.
Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, also had no official positions and had to borrow troops from Lu Zhi.
And Dong Zhuo is not so easy to talk.
After Dong Zhuo arrived, he changed Lu Zhi's conservative style and immediately counted the siege equipment, preparing to launch a second storm on Guangzong County.
This time Dong Zhuo used all his troops, even all the lords' troops.
Most of the lords complained about Lu Zhi's conservative tactics when there was no chance to obtain military exploits. When Dong Zhuo organized a strong attack, the lord only dared to let his hero lead the army to attack the city.
50,000 Han troops and 150,000 Rebel troops were on display. The ladder car, the siege tower, the collision car, the catapult, and the nest car were all in motion. Dong Zhuo stood on the commanding nest car.
"Brother, the Han army is about to attack the city again! It is said that the Han army has replaced the brave Dong Zhuo as the commander!"
Zhang Liang saw the main force of the Han army in a siege formation on the city wall again, and immediately went down the city to find Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao's face was paler than when Lu Zhi attacked the city, like a blank sheet of paper.
Zhang Jiao coughed violently: "Cough cough cough... The Han army replaced Dong Zhuo, perhaps our last chance. If we lose this opportunity, we may never be able to turn the tide again."
"Brother, do you mean..."
"Immediately send someone to inform the third brother, let him rectify the troops and come to support from Quyang at the agreed time, we should cooperate inside and outside to attack the Han army. Remember, this is our... last chance... cough cough ..."
The offensive of the Han army is ferocious. Dong Zhuo brings attack bonuses to the Han army. He is also a battle-hardened general, and his own attributes are not low.
Under Dong Zhuo's command, the Han army once attacked the city wall.
The Yellow Turbans resisted stubbornly, and the two sides fought to the death near the city wall.
"My lord, please let me lead an army to attack the city!"
Seeing that more than 100,000 soldiers and horses from both sides were entering the battlefield one after another, Hua Mulan volunteered.
"No way!"
Chu Tian's stern tone made Mulan stunned for a moment.
It is rare to see Chu Tian so severe.
"Now is not the best chance to break through Guangzong County, you just die when you go up."
Chu Tian's expression gradually softened.
He could see that the Yellow Turbans in Guangzong County did not lose much morale because of Zhang Jiao's presence. Even if the Han army barely climbed the city wall, they would soon be driven down by the Yellow Turbans.
Rockets fired salvos, and two Han siege towers were burned down, killing more than a hundred Han soldiers.
The Yellow Turbans' will to resist became stronger and stronger, and several ladder cars were burned.
The fierce battle between the two sides lasted for three days.
Thousands of Han troops were killed in action, and tens of thousands of soldiers dispatched by various lords were killed in action.
The Yellow Turbans are estimated to have lost tens of thousands, but Guangzong City still stands.
A silver-level hero in Xiazhen, the infantry lieutenant Zhang Ding was killed in action.
This is the first time a hero has been killed in Xiazhen.
If it wasn't for Chutian forbidding Zhou Yafu and Hua Mulan to fight, they might have been killed.
After three days of fierce battles, Guangzong County could not be captured. Whether it was the Han army or the troops of the various lords, the morale of all the troops was greatly reduced.
Fortunately, the two heroes of Xia Town, Hua Mulan and Zhou Yafu, have the ability to slow down the drop in morale. Xia Town's morale remains around 75.
Dong Zhuo led the Han army and the lords of the Han army camp, but their army morale had dropped below 70, or even below 60, reaching a dangerous level.
Zhou Yafu's face is getting ugly day by day: "If you continue to attack, you may be defeated by the Yellow Turbans instead."
Chu Tian tried to find Dong Zhuo, but Dong Zhuo did not summon a small lord.
There are hundreds or even thousands of lords in the main camp of the Han army, and there are more than 100 lords in each camp. Dong Zhuo's current status is much higher than them.
In a depressing atmosphere, on the fourth day of Dong Zhuo's arrival, the sixteenth day of the battlefield, Dong Zhuo once again ordered the Han army to attack.
The negative effect of the drop in morale has been very significant. The combat effectiveness of the Han army has dropped significantly. This time, even the city wall could not be approached.
The morale of the Han army is already below the dangerous value of 60!
The battlefield is snowing again~IndoMTL.com~ The Han army's flag is lowered, and the mourning of wounded soldiers can be heard from time to time.
There are only less than 600 people left in Xiazhen.
Dong Zhuo was the main general, he ordered a strong attack, and Chu Tian, who was subordinate to the Han army camp, had to obey the order.
He now understands how correct Lu Zhi's tactics are.
Not being able to attack is too bad for morale.
The art of war is clouded, one blow, another decline, and three exhaustion.
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! The year is in Jiazi, and the world is prosperous!"
When the morale of the Han army was low, the city gate of Guangzong County slammed open, and the dense yellow turban army shot out from the city gate.
The Yellow Turbans are counterattacking!
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky stands!"
On the flank of the Han army, the Yellow Turban hero Zhang Bao led the Yellow Turban cavalry to come to support!
Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban cavalry attacked the flank of the Han army!
The Han army camp was caught in a flank attack, and morale dropped again!
"This time it's over..."
Chu Tian saw the collapse of the Han army's camp, and the Han army, who was obviously active, fell into a passive position because of the continuous failure of siege.
The lord of the Han army was desperate, and Dong Zhuo, who was the general of the East and Middle East, also found that he had broken the good situation, so he immediately mobilized 5,000 Xiliang cavalry.
Xiliang light cavalry assembled, Dong Zhuo personally commanded the Xiliang cavalry, trying to block the Yellow Turbans.
As an official appointed by the imperial court, if he loses a great deal, his head may fall to the ground. In the future, the heroes of the Kanto region will no longer have to fight against Dong Zhuo.
The Yellow Turbans who were all over the mountains and plains attacked the Han army camp, and the two sides fell into a melee.
"My lord, I want to try it!"
Zhou Yafu saw that the Han army was on the verge of defeat, so he took the initiative to ask Chutian for help.
Chu Tian knew what Zhou Yafu's words meant.
Zhou Yafu, who has been observing the Eastern Han army these days, wants to stand up and turn the tide.
