Chapter 984 Chang'an City is broken
Chen Wen is still busy dealing with these enemies that are as disgusting as rats, but the war in Wu County has reached its peak. The Lion and the Second Legion of Greedy Wolf and Sun Ce's army have launched nearly four large-scale attacks on Wu County. Baiyun City has paid nearly 200,000 people for this, while Wu County is even more miserable, with nearly 500,000 people dead. If the soldiers who died a few days ago are included, the number of people will almost reach 800,000. This ratio seems a bit abnormal in the siege battle, but when thinking about the gap in strength between the Baiyun City army and the Wu County army, I feel that this is more normal.
Now, Xu Gong can only describe it as being overwhelmed, because he had no confidence to defend Wu County, because Baiyun City showed its strength too strong. A few days ago, although he was only defending the city and did not dare to take the initiative. Every time Baiyun City attacked the city, he could still resist it. Even if he paid a considerable price for it, he still felt that Wu County belonged to him. At the same time, he also felt that the strength of Baiyun City's army was just so. But today, just now, Xu Gong finally saw the real strength of Baiyun City. It was precisely because of this that he completely understood the gap between Wu County and Yizhou. He even had a feeling that if the rumors in the world were correct, Baiyun City really had the twelve corps with similar strength to the current siege army. Even if the entire Yangzhou joined this war, Yizhou's winning rate was very high. His confidence was gradually lost in these battles.
However, Xu Gong did not tell Chen Wen about his situation, because if Chen Wen's reinforcements arrived, he would still have a glimmer of hope. But if the reinforcements did not come, he would only be despair.
Yang Tian had actually arrived outside Wuxian County and met with Gao Shun and others, but he did not immediately participate in the siege because the time is not yet ripe.
According to the previous discussions with Jia Xu, Xun Yu and others, before most of Chen Wen's army was teleported to Wujun, he could not let Chen Wen feel that there was no hope for the Battle of Wuxian. At the same time, during this period, they must also eliminate the vitality of the Wuxian defenders as much as possible.
Everything is going well now. Although he also heard that from the four cities in the north that still belonged to Xu Gong, more than 400,000 cavalry were coming here, but Yang Tian was not too worried. Yang Tian had sent the Sunset Legion to intercept it all the way. As for the other three groups, there were a total of more than 300,000 people, even if they arrived in Wu County, they would not be able to make a big wave.
Just after noon, Chen Wen finally wiped out all the players who harassed Shouchun City. The teleportation array was also opened again, but other county cities are still playing hide-and-seek with the players in Baiyun City, but it probably won't take much time.
Of course, Chen Wen did not need to wait until the other cities opened the teleportation array before starting the teleportation. He immediately sent all the remaining cavalry corps in the city, and the nearly 200,000 cavalry were almost half of the remaining cavalry army in Yangzhou. However, it was impossible for so many people to teleport to Wujun in a short time, and it would take at least more than an hour.
However, Chen Wen did not intend to let these troops teleport over and attack Wuxian. He ordered them to wait in their respective counties and set off when the troops gathered to a certain scale. Anyway, the battles in other counties have ended one after another, and the teleportation arrays have been opened one after another. Every time they wait for a while, the power in their hands can be stronger.
However, at this moment, Chen Wen received another letter from Xu Gong, saying that he discovered that Sunshine was also in the army attacking Wu County and had participated in the siege. Now Wu County's situation is even more difficult.
Chen Wen was both surprised and happy by the news. What was shocked was that Yang Guang was so determined that he actually participated in the war to attack Wujun. Although Yang Guang participated in many wars in the past, the situation was different at that time. At that time, Yang Guang was just a subject of the emperor, so he naturally needed to command troops and fight. But now, although the emperor is still there, his ability to control the local area is basically zero. A brigade official like Sun Guang is basically equivalent to a local emperor of one force. In this case, there are very few people willing to risk their lives to go to the battlefield.
Chen Wen was happy because Sunshine arrived in Wujun. If Sunshine could be killed in this battle, it would play an incalculable role in the next war. Chen Wen also knew that Sunshine was an alien and could not really kill it, but as long as he could kill the opponent once, the blow to the morale of Baiyun City would definitely be huge.
After thinking for a while, Chen Wen immediately ordered that more than 100,000 troops who had gathered in the four counties in Wujun set off again to Wuxian. In addition to the more than 400,000 cavalry that had already rushed over, this was nearly 600,000 troops.
Chen Wen did not think that the war could be reversed with these 600,000 troops, and even did not issue orders to fight to these troops. He just asked these people to rush to Wuxian and camp not far from Baiyun City's army to deter the Baiyun City army and make the other party dare not attack the city with all their strength. In this way, his goal was achieved.
...
Just when the war in Wu County was in full swing, something big happened again in Z National District, which was somewhat related to Baiyun City.
z National District Announcement: After nearly a month of fierce battle, Li Kui and others led the Xiliang army to capture Chang'an City. Li Kui and others killed Wang Yun, and held Emperor Xian hostage to enthrone the official position and control the government. The battle in Chang'an ended.
There is no doubt that this systematic announcement shocked the entire Chinese region. To be honest, after Wang Yun took charge of the government affairs, due to Wang Yun's high reputation, the court still looked like a court. But now that Wang Yun died, the entire court would be in a mess, which was completely useless. Without the court standing above his head, the battle between the princes would be even more intense.
As NPC forces, they pay more attention to the battle in Chang'an and the movements of the court. But as players, the power is different. They now focus more on the battle between Yizhou and Yangzhou. In their opinion, although Li Kuai, Zhang Ji and others are powerful now, they will not be able to jump around for a few days. They will eventually be buried in the long river of history. It is difficult for such NPC characters to get rid of the shackles set by the system. But Yang Tian is different, and no one dares to promise that Yang Tian can go to in the future, but it is conceivable that Yang Tian is definitely more competitive than Li Kuai.
Yang Tian didn't know that a war he led actually stole the limelight of Li Kui and others in Chang'an Battle. According to his idea, the current system announcement about Chang'an City undoubtedly solved his top priority, because he didn't want other domestic forces to pay too much attention to him. If he kept showing his edge, he might become the target of public criticism. But now the npc power's eyes have shifted away, but the player power is still staring at this side.
Of course, Yang Tian doesn't have much time to worry about these things now, because he is now leading a group of Iron Eagle Sharpmen to attack the city wall. The Iron Eagle Sharpmen's combat effectiveness is indeed extraordinary. Shortly after entering the battle, he stubbornly seized control of the city wall from the Wuxian defenders and began to gradually expand the results of the battle. At this progress, the city gate on the south will fall into the hands of Baiyun City.
No wonder Xu Gong was anxious. Once the city gate fell into the opponent, compared with the current strength of the two sides, the nearly two million troops in Wu County would be slaughtered by the Baiyun City army within one day, including Xu Gong himself.
However, Xu Gong could not imagine the Iron Eagle Legion led by Yang Tian on the top of the city. In his opinion, these Iron Eagle Sharpmen can be compared with the generals under his command, but how many generals are there under his command? The number of Iron Eagle Sharpmen reaches more than 10,000. If this is not shocking enough, then the fifty God Envoys who have been following Yang Tian are the god of death. The people under Xu Gong, whether they are soldiers or generals, are not the one-piece enemy of these people. In addition to Yang Tian himself, this is simply an unsolvable combination.
As time went by, all the soldiers of Wuxian above the southern city gate were annihilated or forced to retreat. Following the direction of the retreat of these remaining troops, the Baiyun City army successfully seized control of the city gate. The moment the city gate opened, all the troops outside the city stopped siege. Since the city gate was opened, there was naturally no need for them to attack the city wall with huge casualties. In addition to retaining the necessary army to surround the city, the rest of the army moved to the south. For a time, a large number of Baiyun City troops poured into Wuxian from the southern city gate.
Before the city gate was broken, Xu Gong had already withdrawn from the city wall and turned around to flee to the inner city. In his opinion, the outer city had been completely broken. Instead of wasting energy here, it was better to concentrate on defending the inner city.
At this time, Xu Gong never thought about running away. He was the kind of person who regarded power more important than life. It can be imagined that as long as he withdrew from Wu County, all his previous efforts would be vain and even become a prisoner under the ranks. But if he persisted here, he would still have a chance to wait until Chen Wen's army arrived, and he would still have a chance to turn the tables.
The inner city of Wuxian County is not much different from the inner city of Wangtian City. They are all transformed from the city walls established when they were at a small city level. The only difference is that the inner city of Wangtian City has only one city gate, while the inner city of Wuxian City has four city gates. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the defense ability of the inner city wall is not as good as the outer city wall. In terms of the city wall alone, the height of the city wall is much lower than that of the outer city wall. Fortunately, the length of the inner city wall is not large, making it easier to concentrate superior forces to defend.
The news of Xu Gong's retreat soon spread to the entire city wall, but this was also Xu Gong's deliberate act. If he just fled back to the inner city, who would help him defend the city? So he directly issued an order to quickly withdraw the elite army into the inner city, and ordered the other ordinary soldiers to be responsible for restraining the Baiyun City army that attacked the city. Xu Gong's order may be unfair to those ordinary soldiers, but this is a war, and everything is for the final victory, and there will be no sympathy or mercy.
