Lord of the Gaming World Chapter 797: Back to Kunyang
Under the city of Kunyang, the Nine Tigers of the Northern Army commanded the elite soldiers of the Northern Army to protect the new emperor Wang Mang from patrolling.
Because of Wang Mang's personal expedition, the morale of the 800,000 army of the new dynasty soared.
Wang Mang ordered to build catapults, battering rams, and ladders to dig tunnels.
Contrary to Wang Yi and Wang Xun's underestimation of Kunyang City, Wang Mang was like a formidable enemy.
"If this battle is lost, I will lose everything, including my life."
Wang Mang's face was solemn.
He turned his head and asked Wang Yi: "I have promised to take Liu Xiu's head, and he will be awarded a title of 100,000 household lords and a reward of 200,000 gold. So far, no one is willing to kill Liu Xiu in exchange for a reward?"
"Your Majesty, I haven't heard of anyone who took Liu Xiu's head. It seems that Liu Xiu is quite popular among the Green Forest Army."
"Since it's not good to be soft, then we can only send a large army to defeat Liu Xiu and kill him. For this day, I have made a lot of preparations. As long as I kill Liu Xiu, the peasant army in various places will be pacified. Uprising, the world will settle down again."
Wang Mang's tone was full of uncertainty.
Yan You came to Wang Mang and said to Wang Mang: "Your Majesty, we have already figured out the whereabouts of the 20,000 cavalry soldiers who came out of Kunyang City. They are currently recruiting troops from the Green Forest Army in Yancheng, preparing to guard the city from outside and inside the city. The army should cooperate with the outside world to relieve the defenders of Kunyang City. Please handle it with Your Majesty."
"Is Liu Xiu among the 20,000 cavalry?"
"I don't know..."
"Looks like Liu Xiu is probably outside the city. He won't just sit back and wait, otherwise he won't be Liu Xiu. Using Kunyang City as a bait to attract Liu Xiu, I must kill him before he can sit down. secure the throne."
Wang Mang soon had an idea.
Although Yan You didn't understand why Wang Mang was brooding about Liu Xiu, he still followed the order: "The last general will lead a team of cavalry to patrol in the direction of Yancheng. Once Liu Xiu marches towards Kunyang, he will immediately notify His Majesty."
"Very good, Yan You, it seems that you are much more reliable than Wang Yi and Wang Xun. I will give you the Hu Ben army and the 100,000 army."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wang Yi asked with a shy face: "Your Majesty means that we will besiege Kunyang City and not attack it?"
"No, we must storm Kunyang City and force Liu Xiu to return to aid as soon as possible, but Kunyang City is not allowed to surrender, nor can Kunyang City really be captured. I don't believe that the 800,000-strong army will lose to Liu Xiu. tens of thousands of people.”
Wang Mang is confident that he has elite soldiers, and he has summoned troops from all over the world.
If there were only 800,000 Yellow Turbans, they might have been defeated by 30,000 cavalry, but Wang Mang was not short of high-ranking troops, nor was he short of generals. He might be short of one or two top commanders.
The army of the new dynasty was ordered by Wang Mang to attack Kunyang City!
The trebuchet roared, and the boulders roared down!
Boom!
The stone hit a battlement, the gravel splashed, and several cracks appeared in the battlement.
The green forest army on the city wall was frightened by the trebuchet and dared not look up.
"The thieves have attacked the city!"
A Greenwood soldier cried out in horror.
Liang Hongyu led a team of crossbowmen to the city, risking being killed by a trebuchet, and looked at the enemy soldiers outside the city.
Boom! Another loud noise, the boulder thrown by the trebuchet hit the tower, the tiles broke and fell, and the sand filled the air!
Liang Hongyu was unmoved, because her eyes were already attracted by the army that covered the mountains and plains.
Wang Mang sent the first group of troops to attack Kunyang City, there were 100,000 troops!
For the small city of Kunyang, such a force is already a bit of a lift, and it cannot be fully deployed.
The dense new army drowned Kunyang City, and Kunyang City became a solid rock, allowing the waves of the new army to beat!
The boulders fell, the bed crossbows roared, the huge siege tower approached the city wall, and a hundred thousand new troops began to storm this solid city!
30,000 bowmen and arrows fired at once, covering the defenders on the city wall, and Liang Hongyu had to hide behind the city wall!
The thick arrows shot by the bed crossbow had amazing penetrating power, and even sank into the city wall!
"How many arrows did Wang Mang prepare in advance?"
Liang Hongyu had rarely seen such a large-scale enemy army. He directly used tens of thousands of archers to suppress the defenders, shooting continuously, and the archers on the city wall did not dare to raise their heads to fight back.
"This is the army of the new dynasty? This number makes one's scalp tingle..."
Huo Qing led the Shesheng Battalion to the city, and had to brave the arrows of the opponent to suppress the enemy army who attacked the city.
Under the cover of archers, the army of the New Dynasty has already attacked the city with ants attached to it. Dozens of ladders have hooked the city wall, and the siege tower is less than 30 meters away from the city wall!
"Use kerosene!"
The hot kerosene was poured down and flowed down the ladder. The soldiers who attacked the city were drenched in the kerosene, screamed and then rolled down. The ladder burns due to the scorching heat!
Liang Hongyu's Jianyan crossbow shoots rockets. As a hero, Liang Hongyu has an additional ignition bonus to the fire arrows. Because the two siege towers were hit by too many rockets, the siege enemy could not extinguish the raging in time. Fire, billowing smoke rises!
"Kill!"
The new army infantry has already climbed the city. They fought against the green forest army on the city wall. Their weapons collided, and their flesh and blood splashed. From time to time, the enemy troops who attacked the city were pushed down by the defenders, fell from the seven-meter city wall, and shattered their bones!
If one will succeed, ten thousand bones will die, and there are more than ten thousand bones here!
"My brother is fighting in Central Asia, and Chutian is gathering troops outside the city. I can't hold them back, and I must defend the city no matter what."
Huo Qing has a defense bonus, which can improve the defense of the defenders and provide a bonus to the morale of the defenders.
Because she and Liang Hongyu were commanding the bowmen, they killed and wounded a large number of Xin Dynasty troops who were attacking the city, trying their best to delay the progress of the Xin Dynasty's siege.
Yan You's 100,000 new army was unable to capture Kunyang City.
Another important reason is that Wang Mang did not intend to take Kunyang so quickly, but wanted to use Kunyang to lure Liu Xiu, the son of destiny, to come.
Wang Mang's mind was not on Kunyang City. He was deploying the remaining 700,000 troops, waiting for Liu Xiu and Chu Tian to throw themselves into the trap.
…
On the other side, Liu Xiu personally led 3,000 dead soldiers and joined forces with Chutian's 20,000 cavalry to rescue Kunyang, while Ma Wu and Wang Ba led 14,000 cavalry and were responsible for the subsequent response.
Chu Tian was shocked by Liu Xiu's courage. How could he dare?
Liu Xiu, with three thousand cavalry, wanted to save Kunyang.
Chu Tian didn't know whether to say Liu Xiu was brave, or if he really just gave it a go.
"Wang Mang came in person to stabilize the military's morale. We cannot underestimate the 800,000 new troops. Wang Mang, who established a new dynasty, is a strange person and cannot be deduced according to common sense. I hope that with Liu Xiu, we can really turn bad luck into good luck. Counselor, if your judgment is wrong, I will deduct your salary when you go back."
Because Chu Tian listened to Sun Bin's advice and believed that Liu Xiu was the son of luck, he chose to follow Liu Xiu's adventure and did not make his own decisions.
After a full calculation, Chutian's 20,000 cavalry, plus the 17,000 Lulin Army recruited by Liu Xiu, totaled 37,000.
There are 29,000 people in Kunyang City, which is equivalent to an increase of the total army to 66,000 people.
66,000 soldiers and horses, against 840,000 soldiers and horses, the ratio is still huge.
Wang Mang's army numbered more than 60,000 with only special units, one can imagine it.
Here in Chutian, except for Zhao Yun, the other cavalry generals did not come. If King Arthur, Taishi Ci, Monk Wanyan Chen, Yuchigong and others were present, they might not be in such a critical situation.
Chutian's cavalry receive bonuses including two of Chutian's cavalry characteristics: "Blue Wolf and White Deer", "Fenglang Juxu~IndoMTL.com~ Because they are not dealing with foreign troops, so "Fenglang Juxu" is not complete.
In addition, there are also the whole army halo "Han Wu" (bonus to the civilized arms of the Han Empire), "Tian Khan" (bonus to alien cavalry).
Sun Bin also has bonuses to his military advisor support feature.
Finally, it is the unknown halo of the entire army by Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu.
With several effects superimposed, Chutian's cavalry power is still quite explosive.
The problem is that the cavalry can't completely sink into the army of 800,000.
Once the speed of the cavalry slows down, the combat power of the cavalry unit will decrease and the advantage of the cavalry will be lost.
Sun Bin was also a little worried about Liu Xiu's luck: "The minister's judgment should not be much biased. The minister has a hunch that as long as you follow Liu Xiu and don't mess around easily, you can win."
"It's that simple?"
This is when Chu Tian rarely hugs his thighs.
The first time I encountered Tang Taizong during the national war, it was also Tang Taizong Li Shimin who overturned the Goryeo cudgel and the Goguryeo army, and Chutian followed suit.
And this time, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu also seemed to be very powerful. None of these founding emperors were ordinary people.
But there is one thing to say, the feeling of hugging the thighs is not bad, Chutian has not felt this way for a long time.
Liu Xiu didn't know that Wang Mang had set up a net in front of him, waiting for him to return.
