Chapter 471 Battle of the Lonely City
Guan Yu sat on the horse's back and looked at the Biyang City Wall hundreds of steps away. Guan Yu had attacked the city once, but he retreated before fighting last time. Because the logistics road was intercepted, the supplies could not be raised at all, and there was no way to fight if he was hungry.
But this time, he and Zhang Fei learned from the last lesson, and Zhang Fei personally escorted the baggage to ensure all the supplies of Guan Yu's troops. In this way, Guan Yu finally came to Biyang City smoothly. This time, he must take Biyang City, which will make the last shame!
The so-called shame is the psychological reaction of a person's pride being trampled on by others. Guan Yu is no longer the nameless man who ran around with Liu Bei and was born at the bottom of the army. Now Guan Yu is the General Pinglu, and the emperor personally taught him! This is pride, this is style, you must not be embarrassed, otherwise even the emperor's face will be lost!
Besides, Guan Yu has experienced many battles since Liaodong, and has never been defeated in the bloody battlefield. Of course, he was automatically excluded by Fang Zhiwen. With such an unbeaten record, Guan Yu was originally a person with a higher attitude than the top. Coupled with Liu Bei's identity as a royal relative, his own general personally named by his emperor, etc. These factors make Guan Yu even more arrogant and arrogant.
Therefore, in Biyang's failure, Guan Yu regarded it as his own shame. If you want to clear this shame, you can only use the corpse and blood of the Yellow Turban thief in Biyang City, and personally step on the city that brought shame to Guan Yu with your feet, so that you can relieve the hatred and reputation in your heart!
However, Guan Yu is not in a hurry now. In Guan Yu's opinion, the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army is not worth mentioning at all. Of course, this is also a fact. In the face of Guan Yu's crushing, the Yellow Turban Army had almost no power to fight back. They could only do some conspiracies and tricks secretly on the outside, and most of them had no effect.
Guan Yu naturally knew that the Yellow Turban Thief was committed to dealing with Zhang Fei's logistics troops, but this time Zhang Fei also performed very well. He did not leave his post without being angry and steadily guarded the logistics channel, which made Guan Yu very pleased.
As for the city in front of you that once brought shame to you, Guan Yu has a kind of ** that needs to be slowly dismantled. If it is broken up at once, it will seem particularly boring. Or in the words of Yiren, it is called "premature ejaculation".
So Guan Yu set up camp under Biyang City with peace of mind, preparing to slowly clean up Biyang City and the defenders in the city. At least, he had to first cause enough psychological pressure to them to know what despair and fear meant.
After resting for a night, Guan Yu was very surprised that he had specially arranged the anti-sneak attack, but the Yellow Turban thieves were very honest and had no intention of taking the opportunity to sneak attack. Did they already accept their fate? But since they accepted their fate, why should they still stick in the city instead of abandoning the city and running away?
Guan Yu felt a little strange, and a trace of uneasy thoughts emerged in his heart, and was then firmly abandoned by Guan Yu. Guan Yu firmly believed in his combat effectiveness, firmly believed in the combat effectiveness of his troops, and firmly believed in the weak combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban thief on the opposite side, failed? It is absolutely impossible!!
Guan Yu had 40,000 infantry and 2,000 personal guards, including 15,000 swords, shields, 5,000 spears, 15,000 crossbows, and 5,000 auxiliary and baggage soldiers. As for the number of Yiren to follow, Guan Yu had not calculated it, but the secretary responsible for distributing the tasks reported that at least 10,000 Yiren received the task, and the number of Yiren troops accompanying the army may exceed 150,000.
Today, Guan Yu left 5,000 people to guard the camp, and he led the remaining infantry and guards to fight. It was wider than the front width of Yangcheng, with a mountain on the right, a river on the left, and a moat on the city.
The Yiren, who received the long-range strike mission, began to arrange catapults and siege crossbows within range. The Yellow Turban Army in the city did not seem to intend to play a gentleman's behavior, but directly began to attack Guan Yu's long-range strike force and interfere with the development of the force.
The rumbling sound broke the tranquility of the battlefield, and various sounds began to ring above the battlefield, noisy and exciting. Guan Yu did not pay attention to these, because when the number of equipment between the two sides was not very different, the long-range strike troops were basically not very effective on the battlefield. As long as they could restrain the long-range strike troops in the city, Guan Yu had no other luxury for this.
The infantry phalanx is composed of each other. Generally speaking, the number of infantry phalanxes is not too large because it is difficult to command. After all, the commander of grassroots officers is not very high. Therefore, Guan Yu's infantry troops are also composed of three to four thousand, and then the square arrays are wrapped with large shields, and slowly heading towards the city wall with the sound of drums.
When Zhang Mancheng was training in Liaodong, he spent several months in offensive and defensive training. He naturally knew what to do at this time. Zhang Mancheng divided the mid-range strike force in the city into several parts, concentrated attacks on the same target with continuous shooting, and worked hard to create killing for Guan Yu's troops. Although the effect was not particularly good, it was always good to disperse the attack power and cause the enemy to be injured and not die, which was equivalent to wasting time.
The moat caused some trouble to the attacking party, because the infantry formation could not cross the moat neatly, unless they were filled first, but Guan Yu did not intend to spend this effort to fill the moat, but instead placed the ladder on the moat, laying pieces of wooden boards on it, and then quickly passed through the moat.
Although such behavior is equivalent to abolishing the attack power of several infantry formations, it also effectively shortens the attack time and damage. After rushing through the moat, the opponent's heavy crossbow can no longer attack, and he can only use the light crossbow at the top of the city to attack the infantry under the city.
In less than two moments, the moment of close combat was coming. This is because of Guan Yu's strong combat power. Due to Guan Yu's troops' bonus, the infantry suffered little losses, so the infantry was even more daring to fight. On the contrary, this result seriously hit the defenders on the city. This is one of the secrets to attack.
Zhang Mancheng was also very scheming when defending. The light crossbow troops attacked the enemy's crossbow soldiers who had approached the city. The heavy crossbows were responsible for blocking the opponent's subsequent attacks. The remaining heavy crossbow soldiers put down the heavy crossbows and changed into light crossbows to help the city. The militia were responsible for throwing wooden rocks. The aliens were throwing various skills, and Taoists were constantly inspiring various paper talismans.
The battle gradually became fierce. Due to Zhang Mancheng's command and the slowly increasing killing effect, the morale of the defenders on the city gradually recovered, and even the roar became much louder!
The stalemate in the attack war is very dangerous. When Guan Yu saw the opponent's steady defense, he immediately realized that there was a very good commander in the city. It would definitely not work if he continued to fight step by step. If the opponent restored his morale, he would only have 40,000 troops, and the city was not considered an alien army. There were also 100,000 defenders. If he continued to consume this, he would not fail. However, his troops would have suffered a great increase, and he would still be defeated even if he won.
Guan Yu turned over and jumped off the war horse, pulled out the giant blade, reached out to take the heavy shield handed over by his personal guard, raised his sword and yelled: "The guard's sword and shield are ready, let me catch the city!"
"Roar!Roar!Roar!"
Guan Yu's personal attack immediately aroused the army's high fighting spirit, and the attack suddenly burst out.
"Kill!"
"Come to the city! General Guan is coming!"
"Sharp, Sharp"
A strange sound came from the city, and Guan Yu had no time to think about what those sounds were. The giant blade raised and threw it onto the top of the city with a move of "swords, mountains, fire and fire". Taking advantage of the empty space of the defenders at the city, Guan Yu rushed up with his own guards.
"General Zhang, work together to shoot and kill the subsequent guards. Guan Yu, I will be responsible for resisting."
"good!"
"The team round formation, get up! Skill, 'as solid as a rock'! Kill!"
"kill!"
Guan Yu's sword was like a rainbow, his body was like a giant eagle, and he attacked in the air, as if he wanted to divide the entire city wall into two!
"when!"
The sound like the big bell and the soldiers fighting around were stunned, their minds buzzed, and their thinking was a little confused.
However, the crossbowmen who were slightly farther away from the Yellow Turban Army were not affected at all. Zhang Mancheng couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that guy had budgeted this?
The "hiss" flying crossbow arrows took the opportunity to collect the lives of Guan Yu's personal guards. Even if these personal guards are of high attributes and are bonused by Guan Yu's attributes, the attributes of Zhang Mancheng and the black-armored general do not seem to be much lower. With a huge number advantage, hundreds of crossbow arrows face several China Armor infantry with a very small range, and they will lose their combat effectiveness if they don't die.
Guan Yu was even more stunned. Someone actually blocked his sword. Although he did not use any major skills, the damage caused by this very basic downstrike skill is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear.
"Paper Talisman!"
I don't know whose voice it was, but taking advantage of Guan Yu's moment of being stunned, a large number of paper talisman skills covered Guan Yu, interrupting Guan Yu's subsequent attack, making him unable to pursue the black-armored enemy general who was obviously injured.
Guan Yu had to swing his sword to block the strange skills, but more skills fell behind him. The crossbow arrows like locusts were coming from three sides, no, four sides. The heavy crossbow soldiers in the city were actually shooting accurately on the city wall, which means at least one elite crossbow general nearby!
Also, the ones that formed one small round array in front of them were definitely heavy armored infantry! When did the Yellow Turban Army have such elite heavy armored infantry? Looking at their skillful round array, they happily killed their personal guards and siege infantry, Guan Yu's heart twitched a little, and a nameless anger ignited!
"What a thief! It's time to kill!"
Guan Yu's eyes narrowed more and more, staring at the black-armored general who had already reorganized the team and was attacking him. The cold blade danced as if it was slow and fast. The blue light showed that this was a killing move!
Guan Yu is not a superstitious person who believes in killing skills. On the contrary, he is a top warrior and does not advocate killing skills at all. But now when he sees the black-armored general in front of him, Guan Yu knows that the other party has used the power of the battle formation to compete with him. Now he is not fighting alone with him, but fighting with all his subordinates, so what Guan Yu needs is simple attack power, not skills!
If placed on the flat ground, Guan Yu was very sure to easily break the battle formation in front of him and kill the enemy general wearing black armor. However, the actual situation now is to attack the city. The enemy general obviously made full use of this and blocked himself in an embarrassing position when he climbed the city, making the personal guards behind him unable to form a formation, thus putting himself in a situation of being surrounded and beaten. This is undoubtedly a strong enemy!!
