The regional storyline, [Battle of Guang Zong], was about to erupt. Guang Zong City was surrounded by Liu Bei and Dong Zhuo. Within a radius of a hundred miles, Han Ting's army could be seen everywhere! This was under the circumstance that Huangfu Song and Cao Cao's troops were not present. If all the players who had participated after the storyline had started and all the forces in the Han Court were present, how magnificent would the scene be?
Perhaps due to the needs of the storyline, Guang Zong City had been upgraded to a large city by Zhang Jiao. Its defense was not inferior to Wan City, and even slightly superior! The wide city walls were filled with patrolling Yellow Turban Soldiers. The military formation was much more orderly than any Yellow Turban Soldiers that Yang Rui had seen before! At the same time, from the equipment of the soldiers, it could be inferred that their grade and combat strength would not be low!
At this moment, both sides were engaged in battle. Although the battle had yet to begin, the scene was already very magnificent! However, under such circumstances, in the middle of a sea of people, even if Yang Rui and his men were very elite, once the battle of Guang Zong officially began, it was hard to say how much they would gain!
The battle of a city was very different from a normal battle. Even if Yang Rui's men were very strong, when faced with the tall city walls, rolling logs, rocks, and arrows, it could be said that they were no different from First Grade soldiers. It was very possible that they might not be able to achieve victory even if they suffered heavy losses! It was even possible that they would all be wiped out in a short period of time!
Moreover, Yang Rui's strongest military force now, apart from Li Dong and the other 34 beginner generals, were 1500 Fourth Grade knights and 1600 Fourth Grade archers! Moreover, these two types of soldiers would not be able to display their advantages in a siege battle!
Yang Rui was not afraid of losing his soldiers. It just so happened that the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline had reached its climax!
During this period, even if all the soldiers were lost, Yang Rui could revive them through points and 'cleanse' the soldiers at the same time!
However, if he sacrificed a large number of soldiers just for this purpose … It would be a waste of time! Yellow Turban Uprising Plot
Although it would come to an end, the achievement points and points obtained from the Yellow Turban Uprising storyline would not immediately become invalid. According to Yang Rui's experience in his previous life, if there were no changes, the exchange time would be delayed by three months. In other words, there was no need to rush the process of "whitewashing" the soldiers. They could make use of this process to revive the soldiers. Using good steel on the edge of a blade to do something more valuable!
As a result, by the time both the attackers and the defenders had just set up their battle formation, Yang Rui had already led his soldiers towards the east. They only stopped after they were about 200 miles away from the city of Guangzong.
Yang Rui had originally planned to meet up with Huangfu Song and take a detour from the east of Guangzong to Guangping City where Huangfu Song was. He wanted to see if there were any special missions that suited him. However, when Yang Rui retreated to the east of Guangzong, he found that the surrounding yellow turban was too dense, so he had to occupy another high-level village as a temporary stronghold. Under such circumstances, if he wanted to go to Guangping City where Huangfu Song was, he would not be able to speed up!
Considering that even if he reached Guangping City, he would most likely have to follow Huangfu Song back to Guangzong City. Moreover, Yang Rui had also received the mission to search for the Art of Peace, it would be best if he did not go too far from Guangzong City. Therefore, Yang Rui decided to stop at this high-level village. Yang Rui planned to use the Fourth Grade Archers to defend during the day, while the rest of the soldiers would rest and recover their stamina. At night, he would use the 34 Beginner Generals, Fifth Grade Bandit Leaders, Fourth Grade Cavalrymen and various Fourth Grade Foot Soldiers to kill the surrounding yellow turban soldiers! This way, he could obtain achievement points and points while waiting for the changes in the situation of the battle of Guangzong City!
"System Notification: Respected player Blazing Sun, Dong Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo and Liu Bei's Revolutionary Army have officially launched an attack on Guangzong City. The regional storyline [Battle of Guangzong] has officially begun. Please choose your storyline mission …"
The second day after Yang Rui stationed his troops at the east of Guangzong City. The system notification regarding the activation of the regional storyline of [Battle of Guangzong] arrived on time. Perhaps it was because Yang Rui had previously worked with Huangfu Song and Liu Bei's Han Ting Army, but currently, there were only four or five options in Yang Rui's regional storyline mission list.
"1. Participate in Dong Zhonglang General Dong Zhuo's troops and listen to his orders.
2. Participate in Left Zhonglang General Huangfu Song's troops and listen to his orders.
3. Participate in Cavalry Commandant Cao Cao's troops and listen to his orders.
4. Participate in Liu Bei's Revolutionary Army and cooperate with them.
5. Act independently and cooperate with Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's main forces. "
Among the five options, the first three required the player to listen to the orders of a certain general. As for the fourth option, although participating in Liu Bei's Revolutionary Army required the player to cooperate with them, it was not much different from listening to their orders! It was probably just a different way of saying it!
Only the fifth option required the player to act independently. The cooperation in this option should be the real cooperation. When the time comes, the player could help whoever they wanted, or even not! The player would have enough freedom! After some consideration, Yang Rui chose this option.
In reality, other than Yang Rui, all the other players who participated in this regional storyline mission only had four options. There was no fifth option at all! Yang Rui was the only one who had more than 100,000 troops. That was why the fifth option existed!
Most players knew that the rate of casualties during the siege was very high and the rate of return was very low. Therefore, in the previous two large-scale storyline missions, most players would not consider directly participating in the siege when choosing the storyline mission! The arrangement of this regional storyline mission was probably to allow the players to truly experience the feeling of attacking and defending a city!
"I choose the fifth option!"
"Option 5. Act independently and cooperate with Dong Zhuo, Huangfu Song, Cao Cao and Liu Bei's main forces! Are you sure? "
"Yes!"
After all, the feeling of being controlled by others was not as comfortable as making decisions on one's own. This was something that Yang Rui had shown when he interacted with Liu Bei earlier! Therefore, after comparing the few missions, Yang Rui quickly chose the fifth storyline mission and automatically filtered out the first four options. He did not waste the extra option that the system provided for him.
At that moment, Dong Zhuo's army and Liu Bei's army had already started attacking Guang Zong City from the north and south respectively. Even from tens of miles away, one could hear the surging roars!
Guang Zong City was located in the north. After Zhang Jiao retreated into the city twice, it had already leveled up. Furthermore, the moat of Guang Zong City was originally very small. In order to prevent the Han Ting Camp from directly threatening the city walls, Zhang Jiao had used the moat. Before retreating into Guang Zong City, Zhang Jiao had ordered his subordinates to dig a wide trench three miles away from the city walls. It was close to 200 meters wide and more than 10 meters deep. It could be said that it was a huge project!
The appearance of this trench had caused a lot of trouble for Guang Zong City. It also caused quite a bit of trouble for the Han Ting Camp. It was very difficult for some of the heavy siege weapons to cross the ravine, and most of them were stuck at the bottom of the ravine. They could only be pushed forward by the soldiers on their shoulders or carried by their hands. The efficiency was very low!
As for the soldiers that charged through the trench, they only had simple wooden ladders that they could use to scale the city walls. As they did not have any effective siege weapons, they did not pose much of a threat to the city walls. However, when they were exposed to the archers on the city walls, there were many casualties!
"Hahaha! Hahaha … if a mere trench can stop my army, wouldn't you be looking down on me, Dong Zhuo? Men, order the craftsmen to dismantle all the siege weapons and move them one by one across the trench! Assemble them again! The rest of you, stay where you are and do not attack the city! "
South of Guang Zong City, there was a general beside the trench. After observing for a while, he began to mobilize his subordinates. This person was as muscular as a bear. He had a fat head and big ears. His skin was dark brown. However, in the eyes of the players, he looked more like a black blind man in a circus! This general was the Dong Zhong General, Dong Zhuo!
"Haha! Haha … everyone says that Zhang Jiao is very difficult to deal with. The North Zhong General, Lu Zhi, was punished because he did not succeed for a long time! Today, I see that this bastard's methods are very ordinary. He is just a brute! I am deeply ashamed of the North Zhong General! I wonder if it is Zhang Jiao or Lu Zhi who is useless? Ah? Ahahaha! "
Dong Zhuo laughed out loud. His tone was filled with disdain towards Zhang Jiao and Lu Zhi. Furthermore, his subordinates also praised him, making Dong Zhuo even more proud.
Furthermore, Dong Zhuo's subordinates were also very hardworking. The craftsmen and soldiers quickly moved according to his orders. Not long later, dozens of siege weapons were dismantled and moved down the trench.
It had to be said that Dong Zhong General's method of breaking Dong Zhuo down was very effective. Not long after, many of the siege weapons were moved to the opposite side of the trench. The soldiers of Han Ting were in charge of looking after them. As long as the craftsmen on the opposite side finished their work, they would cross the trench and assemble the siege weapons.
Furthermore, Zhang Jiao's trench seemed to have been dug a little too far from the city walls, and the archers on the city walls were unable to bring the Han Ting's soldiers and siege weapons into their firing range! They could only watch as Dong Zhuo's subordinates crossed the trench. However, they were helpless.
To the south of Guang Zong City, Dong Zhuo's troops were actually making orderly preparations for the final siege. At this rate, an intense siege battle would erupt soon. Furthermore, with the large number of siege weapons from Han Ting's camp being used, the pressure on Zhang Jiao would definitely increase greatly!
At this time, Liu Bei's subordinates in the north of the city had not made much progress. Compared to Dong Zhuo's subordinates in the south of the city, Liu Bei's subordinates had just been recruited. Even if they had over a million players helping them and the number was still increasing, they did not have any siege weapons.
By the time Liu Bei commanded his infantry to climb over the trenches and charge for a while, he realized that it was difficult to achieve success by directly attacking the city. This was especially true when they had to face the concentrated number of Yellow Turban Archers on the walls of Guangzong. Therefore, Liu Bei decided to stop his soldiers and players from making any rash moves. He did not even order his soldiers and players to cross the trench. He only waited for the south of Guang Zong City to make a move.
Almost no one would have thought that Liu Bei's strategy of not making any moves would actually help him avoid many losses.
When Dong Zhuo's hundreds of thousands of men in the south of the city climbed over the moat, more and more soldiers followed behind, and more and more siege weapons were assembled. When they were about to start the siege, the sky suddenly darkened, and dark clouds covered the sky. Accompanied by lightning and thunder, a heavy rain began to pour down!
"Whoosh … Whoosh … Whoosh …"
How was it possible to attack the city in such weather? The rain came too quickly, and the sky was like an open floodgate, continuously releasing streams of water! It did not look like it was raining. Instead, it looked like water was being splashed.
Not being able to attack the city was secondary. In just a few moments, the originally empty trench was filled with a large amount of rainwater. The water had almost reached the waists of the soldiers. Some of the deeper parts of the trench were enough to completely submerge people. Moreover, the water level was still rising.
"Uwaa …"
"Help!"
As the rain came too suddenly, Dong Zhuo's subordinates who were crossing the trench did not have the time to retreat. The trench had steep slopes on both sides. After the rain poured down, the slopes became slippery. The soldiers could not climb up anymore. So, they could only watch as the water level rose higher and higher. In the end, they were completely submerged.
Dong Zhuo's subordinates were all northerners. Not many of them were familiar with the water. So, when the water level rose, most of the soldiers in the trench quickly suffocated to death. Only a few soldiers floated on the surface of the water using the dismantled siege weapons.
Since the soldiers could not even keep their lives, the dismantled siege weapons in the trench were naturally not spared. Almost all of them were washed away by the water. Even if the water level receded, they would not be able to be reassembled and used again.
Most importantly, the trench that Zhang Jiao had dug earlier had become a real moat at this moment. It had split Dong Zhuo's troops into two and confined them to the two sides of the trench. They couldn't care about each other at all!
"Kill!"
"Kill …"
When the south gate of Guang Zong City was opened, and the Yellow Turban Army surged out of the city, the fate of the hundreds of thousands of Han Ting soldiers who were stuck at the edge of the river was already decided!
