Chapter 438: Concealing the Truth
After hearing Huang Zhong's words, Huangfu Chaobo couldn't help but asked nervously: "Then shall we recruit more troops from Luoyang City?"
"That's not necessary. There is no difference between recruiting troops now and recruiting troops later. If these troops cannot defend the outer city, the temporarily recruited soldiers can only be used to defend the inner city." Huang Zhong shook his head.
"Don't worry, General Huang. I will immediately transfer the troops from Nancheng as you requested." Zhao Zilong also knew that the matter was urgent and immediately arranged for someone to deliver the message. As for the many methods, although player calls cannot be enabled during battle in the game, players can go online and offline at any time within their own sphere of influence. Zhao Zilong arranged for a player to go offline, and then go to the chat room on the network. After posting a notice, there will naturally be players from the southern city wall waiting in the chat room, and then he will go online to deliver the message. Although this is troublesome, it is much faster than the delivery speed in the game.
The battle on the east wall was tepid, but the battle on the north wall was in full swing. Guo Tai obviously did not have Zhang Yan's ability. After the two attacks were frustrated, Guo Tai arranged for Yellow Turban warriors to join the siege sequence. In the third siege of the city by the Baibo Army, 4,000 Yellow Turban warriors were invested at once. As soon as the seventh-level troops came out, the effect was different. Dianwei, who was unprepared, suddenly lost five or six crenels at the top of the city, although he reacted quickly. Dian Wei came over and immediately led his troops to organize a counterattack. Unfortunately, the Yellow Turban soldiers were too high-level. The fourth-level and fifth-level soldiers and horses at the top of the city were no match for the seventh-level warriors. In addition, thousands of warriors came up at once, and the city has not been captured for a long time. Advantage. Seeing this, Dian Wei immediately mobilized 2,500 imperial guardsmen from below the city to the top of the city. After half an hour of counterattack, he finally repulsed the Yellow Turban Army's third attack. Four thousand Yellow Turban warriors attacked the city, but only less than 2,000 of them retreated. The others were beheaded on the city. However, the losses on the city were not small. The 2,500 imperial guardsmen injured 500 people, and more Not to mention soldiers of other levels. When Huang Zhong's order arrived at Beicheng, Dian Wei had just repelled the Yellow Turban Army's attack.
Looking at Huang Zhong's military order, Dian Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly. He still underestimated the madness of the Yellow Turban thieves. He didn't expect that Mrs. Guo would dispatch four thousand Yellow Turban warriors at once. This is the most elite unit in the Yellow Turban Army. Dian Wei estimated that , Mrs. Guo should only have a few thousand yellow scarf warriors in her hands. I really don’t know what to say about Mrs. Guo. Thinking of this, Dian Wei said to the messenger: "Immediately ride back to the east wall from the city wall, report back to General Huang and the lord, and say that the Baibo bandits have dispatched four thousand yellow scarf warriors to attack the city, and they have been blocked by me, but the North City The losses of soldiers and horses are huge. It is estimated that the Baibo bandits will organize another round of attack soon. Beicheng must have reinforcements, and as soon as possible!" With that, Dian Wei told the messenger about the situation of the round of attacks that had just been repelled. Once again, Dian Wei knew that with Huang Zhong's rigor, he would definitely ask about the course of the war.
After listening to Dian Wei's words, the messenger also knew that the military situation was urgent, so he immediately rode directly from the city wall to the east of the city on horseback.
"Dong dong..." Before the messenger left Yizhuxiang, the drums of attack sounded again from the Baibo Army camp.
Dian Wei stood up and faced the slowly approaching phalanx of Yellow Turban warriors on the tower. He unexpectedly saw four more Yellow Turban warriors in a neat square formation. He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Damn the Baibo thieves, where did they get so many Yellow Turban warriors?" Lux, this is already eight thousand troops."
Turning around, he called a warrior next to him and said: "Go to Dongcheng immediately and ask General Huang for support. At least give me a thousand-man Tiger and Ben cavalry. They can come directly from the top of the city wall without having to go below the city. Hurry. Hurry up."
"No, General!" The warrior also knew that the situation was urgent and hurriedly rushed down the city wall, jumped on his horse and rode towards the east of the city.
Watching the warrior go away, Dian Wei gathered his thoughts, walked down the tower, came to the city wall, and shouted to the soldiers on the wall: "Quick, quick, quick, get up, get ready, the Yellow Turban Thief is coming again." The city is under siege. The gongnu soldiers are ready. The thieves are ready to fire when they enter the attack range. Everyone has seen that the general has sent for reinforcements.
We only need to resist the Yellow Turban thieves for an hour, and then the tiger and horse cavalry will arrive. By then, these Yellow Turban thieves will be nothing to worry about. "
"Drink! Ha!"
The soldiers at the top of the city quickly became busy and prepared for defense. The archer took off the worn bow string and installed a new bow string. Then he prepared all the bows and arrows in the quiver, took them out and placed them within arm's reach beside him. The crossbow soldier loaded all the crossbow arrows on his body into the arrow case, and then checked the crossbow string and other parts on the crossbow machine to see if there were any damaged parts. If there were any damaged parts, they would be replaced immediately. Other melee soldiers took the time to organize their armor, swords and shields. The civilians were running around under the city and at the top of the city over and over again, busy transporting various supplies for city defense.
Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was approaching 300 steps away, Dian Wei shouted loudly: "Prepare the catapult!"
When Beicheng fought again, the messengers had already arrived in East City and were telling Huang Zhong and others about the war in Beicheng. After listening to the messenger's narration, both Huang Zhong and Lou Gui frowned. After pondering for a moment, when Huang Zhong was about to give an order, a voice interrupted him.
"Report!"
Everyone looked back and saw a warrior galloping towards him on horseback. He rushed to the east gate tower before stopping his horse. Then, he dismounted and rushed directly to the tower without stopping.
"General Qi, General Huang, and the Baibo bandits with 4,000 yellow turban warriors attacked the city. General Dian Wei ordered his last general to come and ask for reinforcements. General Dian asked General Huang to finally send 1,000 tiger and horse cavalry to support, and it would be best to come directly from Go directly to the North City from the top of the city wall.”
"Well, another four thousand? Didn't Qi dispatch a total of eight thousand strong men?"
When Zhao Zilong heard this, he shouted: "Damn it, eight thousand Yellow Turban warriors, Mrs. Guo is not ready to pass, right? Besides, where did he get so many high-level arms?"
Huang Zhong and Lou Gui looked at each other, and they quickly realized that they had missed something. An idea flashed in their minds, and they shouted loudly at the same time: "Luggage truck!"
"Hide the truth!"
"Build the plank road in the open and cross Chencang secretly!"
After hearing what the two said, Huangfu Chaobo looked confused: "What kind of baggage cart? Why build a plank road openly and cross Chencang secretly?"
After a while, Huangfu Chaobo and Zhao Zilong realized that what they were talking about was yesterday afternoon, the two camps of the Yellow Turban Army used baggage trucks to transport things to each other. It was fake that the two sides were transporting supplies, but they were secretly exchanging soldiers. real.
