"Dong dong dong!" "Woo woo woo!" The sonorous and low war drums beat in people's hearts, and the desolate and distant horns echoed around the world. The two armies are fighting to the death. Screams, screams, and the clang of weapons intertwined together, and blood gurgled down the city wall, causing small pits filled with red liquid to appear in the recesses of the dry moat. Outside the moat, there were corpses of fallen soldiers everywhere. Some arrows were stuck on people or on the ground. The cold wind was blowing a broken military flag. The city under Ningling was like a hell on earth. Cao Cao saw that Yuan Shu was no longer able to continue to fulfill the camp conditions, so he changed his early policy of confrontation and stability and suddenly launched a forceful attack. The early siege gave the Yanzhou army enough time to prepare for the siege. They manufactured and stockpiled a large number of siege equipment. When the storm order was given, the troops from Cao Cao's camp carried ladders and pushed ramming logs and launched an attack on Ningling City from all directions. attack. The ones fighting in the front line are the player troops. Players who join camp wars receive rewards by completing tasks or killing enemies. If they fail to complete tasks, the player's sacrifice will be of no value, and the camp initiator will not be responsible for death benefits. It is difficult for relatively weak adventure players to perform well in this level of war. Therefore, most of the player troops currently attacking the city are the NPC troops of the lord. On the city wall, Yuan Shu's army was already ready. The defenders have a higher level, are well-equipped, and have the advantage of defending the city. They have obvious advantages against the soldiers of Cao Cao's camp who boarded the city wall. Groups of Cao Cao's lord troops tried to break through on the city wall, but their efforts did not achieve the desired results and only resulted in ruthless killings. The archers were condescending, and a canopy of iron arrows flew out, playing the music of death among the dense crowd. An hour has passed, and the Chinese army where Cao Ying's soldiers are located has been stunned by the bloody gas coming from the front. The player's troops suffered heavy casualties, but the damage to the defenders was minimal. Cao Ren frowned. He had gone through hundreds of battles after following Cao Cao, and had already seen life and death, but now he was still a little sad to see such huge losses on the front line. He asked Cao Cao to fight: "Let us go, those lords' troops are not useful and will only increase casualties." War is not a child's play, sacrifice is inevitable. But Cao Ren believes that sacrifice should at least be valuable. Cao Cao did not agree and said indifferently: "We still have many lords' troops available." Cao Ren fully understood Cao Cao's intentions and said no more. "Compassion does not command troops, this is a truth that generals must understand, not to mention that it is not their own troops who are dying now. Player forces join camp wars for rewards and use money to do things. It was like a business, so now that Cao Cao sent them to die in a siege battle, there would be no psychological burden at all. Moreover, no matter how useless the lord's army is, it can still achieve some results, even if it cannot kill a single person. At the very least, it can consume the defenders' supplies and physical strength. Two hours passed. Nearly half of the lord troops in Cao Cao's camp were lost in the battle, and the casualties of Yuan Shu's Nanyang army should be more than a thousand. Under the continuous attack from Cao Cao's camp, the front-line troops on the city wall were extremely physically exhausted. They had gone through two battles so far. The high-intensity battle made them sweat profusely and their arms were sore. Many of them were close to physical strength. Limit, if the siege can be stopped at this time. I'm afraid most people will ignore the blood and corpses on the wall and collapse on the battlefield. In the past half hour, Yuan Shujun¡¯s casualties have accelerated significantly! Cao Cao, who has been watching the battle situation, is fully aware of the changes in the battle situation. At this time, he is completely sure that Yuan Shu can no longer hire players to help in the battle, otherwise there will be no cannon fodder. Let our elite soldiers die in vain. Cao Cao still had no intention of stopping the attack. Being forced to respond to Yuan Shu's desperate move with a camp war caused Cao Cao to pay a heavy economic price. At the same time, it was not without benefits. The most obvious benefit was that the casualty rate of Yanzhou soldiers was greatly reduced. Cao Cao didn't know why he joined the player forces in his own camp. Several times more than those who joined Yuan Shu, but one thing Cao Cao knew very well was that he had many, many mercenaries. It is difficult for the lord's army to kill Yuan Shu's army in a siege. If they can't kill anyone, Cao Cao doesn't have to pay. This also means that in fact, most of these mercenaries participate in the war for free! With so many free resources, Cao Cao will certainly make good use of every bit of their value. Four hours have passed. As the sun sets, less than 30% of the player troops in Cao Cao's camp are left. Just when Yuan Shu thought that Cao Cao was about to withdraw his troops, Cao Cao replaced the siege troops with his direct descendants. After the army drums sounded, they suddenly launched a strong attack from four directions! The exhausted Nanyang Army at the top of the city was caught off guard and was suddenly in bad luck. They were beaten by the Chongzhou Army and suffered heavy casualties. As a large number of defenders were killed in a very short period of time, the defensive force became even weaker, and with less than half a stick of incense left, Xia Houyuan was the first to make a breakthrough in the east city. More than a dozen Yanzhou soldiers occupied three battlements, and more soldiers were quickly approaching. Go up the ladder! At the critical moment, Yuan Shu's general Ji Ling arrived with a new force. Ji Ling took the lead and forced his way into the Yanzhou Army battle group. Not only did he disrupt the Yanzhou Army's defensive formation, but he also took advantage of the situation to defend a crenel, allowing the attackers to deploy their subsequent troops faster. Big reduction. Three minutes later, Xia Houyuan, who was rushing here after hearing the news and preparing to board the city in person, saw the last Yanzhou soldier in the city being hacked to the ground by a knife, and the gap he finally occupied was blocked by Yuan Shu's army! Xiahou Dun, Li Dian and Le Jin of course also launched an all-out attack, but while Ji Ling was rescuing the east wall, Yuan Shu's generals Zhang Xun, Le Jiu, Li Feng and other generals did not dare to be idle and all climbed to the city to fight. The two armies fought hard for half an hour, but the Yanzhou Army failed to break through the city wall guarded by the Nanyang Army. Cao Cao invested the main force at the last moment, causing the Nanyang Army to suffer a lot of losses. He took advantage of the opportunity to gain some advantages. If he continued to fight, his losses would be great. Cao Cao retreated when he saw the situation was good, and ordered gold to retreat his troops. Perhaps it was because today¡¯s siege battle resulted in the loss of a large number of lord troops, and the military advantage was not as good as before. After the siege battle, Cao Cao¡¯s camp quickly made adjustments. Move the troops stationed outside the east and south gates of Ningling, and maintain pressure on Ningling only from the west and north. At three o'clock that night, Yuan Shu, who no longer wanted to fight, quietly led the remaining eight thousand troops to withdraw from Ningling. Only the east gate and the south gate are accessible. To the south is Liu Biao's territory. With Yuan Shu's current situation, running to compete with Liu Biao for territory is undoubtedly courting death. Therefore, in the end, Yuan Shu made the same choice as in history, leaving the east gate of Ningling and preparing to go to Yangzhou to avoid the limelight, find a place to settle first, and then try to make a comeback. "It's a pity that Yuan Shu's reaction was completely expected by Cao Cao. Continuous attacks during the day. After the truce, both sides were opened, all in order to allow Yuan Shu to abandon the city and break out of the siege. Yuan Shu walked in front, and Cao Cao entered the city in hindsight. Less than five miles out of the city, Yuan Shu was ambushed by Cao Cao. After letting Yuan Shu's front team go, Cao Hong and Cao Ren each led a group of soldiers and horses to fight out from both sides, many holding torches. The sound of killing shook the sky. In the darkness, Yuan Shu was ambushed by unknown numbers of enemies and did not dare to fight. In addition, the front team was not attacked. Yuan Shu was anxious and just wanted to break out of the encirclement as soon as possible. The coach has lost his sense of proportion, and the soldiers under his command seem to have lost their backbone, and the formation is in chaos. In a panic, he only focused on escaping for his life. This was an advantage for Cao Hong and Cao Ren, who led their troops to charge and met almost no resistance from the established organizations! Before Yuan Shu could take a breath, Xia Houyuan and Xia Houdun came together to attack him again, striking halfway. Yuan Shu was even more frightened and ordered Zhang Xun and Lejiu to lead their own troops to resist, while he continued to flee with a large force. Although Zhang Xun and Lejiu were quite brave, they were no match for the Xiahou brothers. He was also worried that Cao Ren and Cao Hongfu would lead their troops to kill him, but they were unwilling to fight and were killed. After more than ten battles, Le was killed by Xiahou Dun. Zhang Xun became even more panicked, feinted a shot, turned around and ran into the trail. Missing. The sacrifices of Zhang Xun and Lejiu did not buy Yuan Shu much time. Le Jin and Li Dian were robbed and killed again! Being ambushed repeatedly, Yuan Shu was so frightened that his face turned pale and he lay on his horse at a loss. Fortunately, Li Feng and Lei Bo rushed forward. They each led their troops to fight, and before leaving, they said to Ji Ling: "Take the lord away quickly!" The situation was urgent, and Ji Ling did not dare to neglect, and led his troops to protect Yuan Shu and Yan Xiang and continue to flee. After running for more than ten miles in one breath, no more Yanzhou troops intercepted and killed, and the Nanyang troops who had separated from the rear came to join them. Yuan Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Including the city defense battle during the day, the Nanyang army had very little rest during the day and night. By now, they were all exhausted. There happened to be a river blocking the road ahead, so Yuan Shu asked everyone to rest by the river while gathering the scattered soldiers. On the one hand, they sent people to explore the route upstream and downstream to see if they could find a bridge or cross the river in shallow water. After a night of melee, most of the Nanyang soldiers dispersed. There were only more than 2,000 people out of the 8,000 when they left the city! The sound of roosters crowing faintly could be heard in the countryside, and it was almost dawn. Yuan Shu felt a sense of relief, it seemed that he had finally passed this level. Although he lost his troops and was forced to withdraw from Jingzhou, with his current strength, he could easily go to Yangzhou and find a decent territory. With Yuan Shu's family background and reputation, he could recruit troops and recruit talents, and a comeback would be just around the corner. But he was still too happy too early. The sky is getting brighter and the view is getting farther. The Nanyang soldiers who were resting suddenly discovered that they had been heavily surrounded! In the upstream and downstream directions of the river, there are heavy infantry waiting; the Nanyang Army'sAlong the way, thousands of big yellow crossbows are shocking; behind is the river, and the Nanyang army gathers by the river, but there is no way to go. Even if someone has access to water and is pointed at by thousands of big yellow crossbows, it will be too much for him to jump into the river. A narrow escape from death. Yuan Shu's lips turned blue: "Captain Cao is treacherous! My life is over!" Ji Ling also turned pale: "It's not the Yanzhou Army, it should be the Fengxiang Army" Yuan Shu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly screamed: "This is impossible! Zheng A Niu wants to conquer the Japanese island, and the emperor has issued an edict. All his naval forces have set off a few days ago, and many strangers have confirmed this! " Yan Xiang thought thoughtfully. Ji Ling said with difficulty: "I recognize that flag." Under Fenniu's banner, an alchemist player slowly walked out. Yuan Shu said angrily: "Zheng Aniu, why are you an enemy of me?" Aniu smiled: "Today is just a reciprocation." Yuan Shu's eyes froze, and then he remembered that he had sent Ji Ling to attack Luoyang twice, both of which were undeclared. Now in a desperate situation, Yuan Shu was unwilling to sit back and wait for death. He lowered his attitude and said: "You and I have no enmity at all. The offenses we committed before were all due to being deceived by traitors, and Yuan Shu often blamed himself for this. We are both Han ministers, and I hope A Niu will behave. Convenient, there will be reports later! "(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
