Two Hundred and Ninetieth Chapters Ready to Do

Regarding whether to participate in the strategy of Longcheng, Huangfu Chaobo also discussed with Lou Gui and Huang Zhong many times, and all three were in between. Judging by the stance of Dong Zhuo's camp, Longcheng is definitely not that easy to fight. The players alone have gathered 20,000 troops, plus Longcheng already has 1,000 troops. With Li Meng's various incentives It is estimated that the players in Dong Zhuo's camp are definitely resisting desperately. In this way, the attacking princes' camp will definitely suffer heavy losses. But if you don't participate, the next battle of Rongyang, Sishuiguan and Hulaoguan will probably be a battle between npc princes and soldiers, so the players' soldiers must only have soy sauce. Let's take part, knowing that it's a hard battle, but don't take part, no one can tell what will happen afterwards.

After much consideration, Huangfu Chaobo still decided to join the battle, but his troops would need to be adjusted. This time, the imperial guards had only 500 soldiers, led by Dian Wei, and the others were 1,500 middle-level soldiers, including 500 swordsmen, spearmen and archers each, led by Huang Zhong, Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao. As the deputy general, the five young generals will of course join the army again. As for the rest of the soldiers and horses, they will be led by Lou Gui and continue to stay in Yangwu City. Now that the decision is made, Huang Zhongdian and Wei will arrange the preparations for sending troops, and Huangfu Chaobo will discuss other matters in Yangwu City with Lou Gui.

It is about two hundred miles from Yangwu to Longcheng Town to the east of Rongyang. There are no county-level cities, only some village-level cities. Fortunately, all the villages and towns of the hostile forces in these places have been captured by the vassal camp. The players have been attacked, and there are only dozens of villages and towns in the neutral camp. I believe that no one will invest in Dong Zhuo's camp at this time. In fact, Taohuadao Town's successful completion of the faction switching task does not mean that the switching task is easy to do. On the contrary, the switching task is relatively difficult. They all switched camps, and as a result, less than 30% of them completed the task and successfully switched camps, but they have already suffered heavy losses. Basically, it can be said that the gains are not worth the losses. The reason why Taohua Island Master was able to go so smoothly was mainly because of Huangfu Chaobo's full support, not to mention anything else, you must know that the five hundred top-level arms alone are not owned by ordinary players, and during the mission, Taohua Dao Town also conscripted nearly a thousand soldiers successively, otherwise, with the strength of Taohuadao Town, they would have died several times if they did the task of switching camps by themselves.

After Lingqu's mission to attack Longcheng, according to the system requirements, the army needs to gather near Longcheng within five days. After Huang Zhong had assembled his soldiers for the expedition, Huangfu Chaobo was ready to lead the army. Soldiers must start from Yangwu, and the troops of Zonghengtianxia and others have been fighting outside all the time, and all the replenishment is done nearby, so now not only the two of them, but most of the other players' troops are scattered everywhere, instead of like In the beginning, everyone concentrated around the wild jujube mill, because not only replenishing supplies and soldiers, but also Lingqu tasks, everyone can do it in the nearest counties. On the contrary, Huangfu Chaobo's Changshe Army has always set its base camp in Yangwu City, and has never moved its nest at all, so he is the player farthest away from the field in comparison.

Just when the army was about to set off, they received an urgent message from Kong Ni from Suanzao. When he opened it, it was the Longcheng Raiders that had aroused all the princes to repeat it. Coordinating the soldiers and horses of the different lords from all sides, and it was Cao Cao who sent troops, and the general who played this time was Cao Cao's subordinate general Cao Ren. In fact, the idea of ​​the princes from all walks of life is also to capture Rongyang as soon as possible, because Suanzao is too far away from Hulao Pass, hundreds of thousands of princes and millions of players consume countless grains every day, just transporting food by road However, if after taking Rongyang, the Ao Cang in the northeast of Rongyang is next to the river, and the grain transported by Han Fu in Jizhou can be stored there directly, which can greatly reduce the journey time. loss.

So after learning that Huangfu Chaobo would also participate in the war, Cao Cao asked Kong Ni to write, asking Huangfu Chaobo's soldiers to stay in Yangwu for a day and rush to Longcheng together with Cao Ren's 2,000 troops. Guard the grain and grass equipment escorted by Cao Ren's army. Seeing this situation, Huangfu Chaobo had no choice but to let the army rest for a day, and set off tomorrow after Cao Ren's army arrived.

In the afternoon, Cao Ren led the army to Yangwu. There were 2,000 soldiers in the army, but they were guarding about 200 baggage carts, which contained the ten-day food and grass needed by the two thousand troops and the corresponding pack horses. If you add the ten-day food and grass needed by Huangfu Chaobo's two thousand soldiers, there are four hundred carts. After placing Cao Ren's army in the camp that had already been prepared outside the city, Huangfu Chaobo invited Cao Ren to the Luoshen Restaurant in Yangwu City. The generals below are no strangers to Cao Ren, so Huangfu Chaobo led the people in Yangwu City to entertain Cao Ren and his party.

After a night of silence, the two armies set off in the early morning of the second day, heading towards Longcheng. It took four days to walk all the way, and in the afternoon of the fourth day, the army finally arrived at a large village called Gaozhuang Village, ten miles east of Longcheng. This was the place Cao Ren chose for the army to camp. After marching for the past few days, soldiers and horses of players from all over the place joined Cao Ren's army one after another. When they arrived at Gaozhuang Village, there were already nearly 30,000 troops, and some soldiers and horses had already rushed to Gaozhuang Village first. From here It is only less than ten miles away from Longcheng. However, from Gaozhuang Village to the west, there is an official road with a gap in the north and a mountain forest in the south. Tens of thousands of soldiers from Dong Zhuo's camp have been transformed into defensive lines. It seems that they want to use this several-mile-long official road to kill the soldiers of the princes' camp.

For this attack on Longcheng, a total of 40,000 troops were gathered in the camp of the feudal lords. In fact, the main reason was that this was not a real siege battle. Longcheng was just a middle town, and the number of soldiers and horses inside it was only three to five thousand at most. Most of the fighting is still going on outside the town. The 40,000 troops outside the town are fighting against 20,000, the pressure is not too great. However, in the past few days, the people in Dong Zhuo's camp have been divided into several divisions through Li Meng's coordination, and their soldiers have been arranged in military camps within a few miles from Guandao to Longcheng. Basically, they built camps on both sides of the official road, and built a camp at a certain distance. If the army of the princes wanted to attack Longcheng, they had to capture these camps one by one along the official road, and then they could reach the outside of Longcheng.
