240 A strange strategy, a fire and wave!

"Frontline Battle Report: The battlefield of Youzhou, the imperial court won. The imperial army Liu Bei's army and the Yellow Turban Army Cheng Zhiyuan's army fought at the foot of Daxing Mountain. Guan Yu killed the Yellow Turban General Cheng Zhiyuan in the chaos. The Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and Deng Mao led the remaining troops to flee to Guangzong and was killed by the peerless heroes."

"Frontline Battle Report:..."

......

Yingchuan, Changshe City.

In May 184, after the World Merit List was announced, the top hundreds of players in the rankings attracted widespread attention, envy, questioning and discussion among players. After all, a unit led by a player killed thousands or tens of thousands of NPC soldiers in the enemy camp, which is unimaginable.

Some players expressed their opinions in a sarcastic manner, "The court was too unfair and gave 500 military salaries to a small number of filial and honest players. If I had so much money, I would have been in the top ten long ago, and I could do better than them. Although I couldn't compete for the first place, I could be at least ranked behind the boss of Xiaobai."

"That's right, I strongly demand that the court pay all players."

A few rational voices were drowned in the forum waves. "This is strength, alas~..."

......

What ordinary players see is the glory on the list of meritorious deeds. However, for nearly 10,000 imperial players who are still sticking to Changshe City, they are currently suffering from a catastrophe and have no intention or energy to celebrate the victory.

The reason is very simple, they are almost out of power.

There are currently only less than 50,000 NPC troops left in the entire Changshe City. Among them, 30,000 are the NPC elite cavalry of Huangfu Song and Zhu Yan, and the other 20,000 are the elite soldiers in the hands of players.

The maximum limit for recruiting NPC soldiers in Changshe City is 6,000 soldiers per day, but the consumption speed is as high as tens of thousands. During the fierce battle of attrition for a month, the supply speed of the imperial players in the city was far from keeping up with the consumption speed, and the troops gradually became exhausted. The recruitment of copper coins, food, arrows and other materials was in a hurry. The main generals Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun called on all the inventory materials in the city to support the overall situation.

In addition, due to the long-term war and the lack of stone maintenance, the durability of the Changshe City walls was gradually consumed, and they were destroyed and collapsed to varying degrees. Even as long as the Yellow Turban Army organized another powerful large-scale attack, Changshe City could fall.

However, it is difficult for the imperial court players to have a hard time, and the Yellow Turban players are also not much better. Their current situation is also in a mess.

Although many villages provide logistics for the Yellow Turban Army, the Yellow Turban Army had too many troops, and it began to be short of food and grass half a month ago and could not provide supplies. In the past month of cost-effective attacks, the Yellow Turban Army suffered heavy losses and lost too much personnel. What followed was the sharp decline in morale of the Yellow Turban Army. The NPC Yellow Turban soldiers often refused to obey military orders, and even a large number of deserters appeared to go to other areas to find food.

In addition, the defenders of Changshe City are extremely tenacious, which makes the NPC Yellow Turban Army and the Yellow Turban players unable to see the hope of breaking the city. The burden brought by the siege has been too much to breathe. This not only shakes the morale of the NPC troops, but even most of the Yellow Turban players have lost their confidence and no longer invest their limited supplies in this bottomless pit battle.

The Yellow Turban Army was unable to organize an effective large-scale attack, but in order to maintain the advantage of the war, they had to mobilize all the troops they could mobilize, continuously launch a harassing attack, maintain a fragile offensive, and prevent the city defenders from being repaired.

Zhan Xiaobai's figure always appears at the main gate tower at dawn and sunrise. It does not disappear until late at night.

In the war for a month, there was not much time to trim the edges and beards, which seemed a bit vicissitudes. He was wearing a level 30 light armor and could see cracks cut by spears, arrows, and big swords everywhere. The white robe worn by the toothed gatekeeper was broken, and a level 30 green sword hung on his waist was already blunt. Because he had no more suitable weapons, he was lazy to replace them.

Once upon a time, he often had a certain temperament similar to a Confucian scholar, and he was benevolent and had insufficient murderous aura. However, a month of bloody battle gave him a precious opportunity to refine himself. A sharp sword vaguely emitted from his body, and he was about to produce a murderous aura without any ordinary murderous aura.

Killing aura is domineering, not kingly way. However, the murderous aura is about to come out but not out, hidden in the scabbard, half hidden and half exposed, so this is a murderous aura with an introverted temperament.

One month changed him a lot.

However, the only thing that remains unchanged is the resolute light that always shines in his eyes.

The players fighting side by side around Zhan Xiaobai felt a great pressure that made them dare not slack off. However, they felt that it was normal to have such pressure.

After a month, Zhan Xiaobai appeared on this city tower for three quarters, facing the Yellow Turban Army troops wandering outside the city. Only at a small amount of time at midnight would he retreat and hurry up and rest and repair.

In the first half of the month, the bows and arrows and light armor troops gradually increased from the initial 80 to the highest peak of 300. However, in the cruel battle for the city at the second half of the month, the number of people killed 300 to less than 50. The remaining 50 NPC soldiers under his command were almost all elite soldiers who killed more than 100 enemies, and their combat effectiveness was far higher than that of newly recruited soldiers.

As long as Zhan Xiaobai's calm and handsome figure stood on the main entrance, and his broken white robe was fluttering in the city wind, few Yellow Turban players were willing to charge towards this city tower, because they all knew that when Zhan Xiaobai appeared here, this was one of the hardest places in Changshe City's fists. Some Yellow Turban players were dissatisfied and forced to charge here, but they ended up bleeding and could not get any advantage.

Whether it is the imperial camp players in the city or the Yellow Turban camp players outside the city, they have unknowingly become accustomed to the white that stands there. It has become a symbolic symbol that the imperial camp players still firmly occupy the Changshe City.

In early May, midsummer is approaching. In the evening, strong winds blew.

General Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were worried in the county government residence in the city. The war to eliminate the traitors was protracted and the stalemate was stalemate, which made them very exhausted. What should we do?

Zhu Yan walked around the lobby and said heavily: "The spy who asked for help has been sent out for more than ten days. It should have arrived in Luoyang. I don't know when the reinforcements in the court will arrive? I haven't come for a long time, I'm afraid that our lives will be over."

Huangfu Song sipped warm tea, with a little leisurely feeling, shook his head and smiled, "Brother Gongwei, you can't expect reinforcements to come to rescue him. We need to find a way ourselves. The Yellow Turban Rebels are unpopular in their rebellion, and they are a group of mobs. Although the bandits are brave, they have no experience in war. When their morale is greatly reduced, they will collapse like birds, beasts, sand and stones. Now the enemy and us are in a stalemate, so there is no need to worry."

Seeing that Huangfu Song was as worried as he was in the morning, but now he looked like he was having nothing to do, Zhu Jun couldn't help but say, "Oh, does Yizhen have a countermeasure?"

Huangfu Song put down the tea bowl and said with a smile: "The victory or defeat on the battlefield is not about the number of people, but about the change of intentions of both sides. The bandits formed camps in villages with lush grass in suburbs, and were very susceptible to strong winds and fires. Now the weather is dry and there are strong winds. If we set fire to the camp overnight, the bandits will definitely flee in a panic. We take the opportunity to attack and defeat the bandit army. We can achieve great success."

"Yi Zhen is indeed a genius! Take action immediately without further ado."

Zhu Jun was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled Huangfu Song and ran towards the city wall.

The two NPC main generals were fully dressed, and they walked up to the city wall with large groups of NPC guards, watching the sky and the situation outside the city. They saw that it was pitch black outside the city and the strong wind was strong, which was a good opportunity to set fire at night!

Huangfu Song was confident and shouted to the left and right lieutenant: "Come here, immediately summon 500 dead soldiers, secretly out of the city with torches, and set fire to the enemy camp around the enemy camp. The 30,000 troops were ready to attack the Yellow Turban Rebels at night."

Several NPC lieutenants immediately followed the order and summoned the dead soldiers from the army to order 30,000 elite cavalry in the city to prepare for battle.

The movements of the NPC main players quickly alarmed the players who were standing on the city wall. They whispered, and there was a lot of ridicule of NPC. If they could set fire to attack at night, why would they be foolish here? Wouldn't they have done it long ago?

Besides, if the Yellow Turban players left such a big loophole, they should have jumped into the river together.

However, these imperial players did not intend to dissuade NPC generals at all, because NPC generals ignored the suggestions of those with low identities. There was no need to stick to the cold butts of the NPC generals with a warm face and let the NPC generals burn it, just treat it as a fun.

On the city tower, Zhan Xiaobai, the World of Warring States Period, Lan Molei and others also took these things. Tonight, they were responsible for guarding the safety of the Xicheng people. Because they were idle, they gathered together to chat to avoid being trapped.

Although Zhan Xiaobai's identity was able to say a word or two to the NPC leader, he did not say a word. The Warring States World and Lan Demonic Tears were also tactful.

The NPC masters are obviously in the mood. If they try to dissuade them at this time, it will be a little bad if the NPC masters are not bad. If the players are proven to be correct afterwards, if the NPC masters feel humiliated and become angry, they will be demoted to their posts in anger.

Not long after, hundreds of NPC dead men finished preparing and quietly left the city with torches, disappeared on the dark country outside the city. Suddenly, screams of "ah" and "ah" sounded from afar. After hundreds of times, the country returned to silence. Even a big wave was not alarmed.

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun changed color at the same time, looking at each other... The Yellow Turban General Bo Cai, a true god, could have expected that they would set up a fire and set up an ambush in advance. The enemy was prepared for it, and this night attack seemed to be impossible.

The two generals couldn't help but become pessimistic, intending to give up the idea of ​​night attacks and reconsider the enemy general's ability to respond.

The players of the court on the top of the city held back their laughter, either whispered a few words, or fell asleep boredly, ignoring the movements of the NPCs.

At the city tower, the blue demon tears came to Zhan Xiaobai, and the Warring States Period was the world, saying: "Xiaobai, Warring States Period, do you think the fire attack can be successful?"

Zhan Xiaobai said indifferently: "The chance is not great. Unless the Yellow Turban players are all fools, or they have started to coax themselves, or they have burned themselves up. Otherwise, there is no chance of success."

The Warring States Period also shook his head and said, "This is hard to say. The Yellow Turban players have too strict defenses, so we don't have the chance to start. Not to mention arson, it's hard to even leave the city."

Lan Molei did not agree with their opinion and snorted softly: "In my opinion, Fire Attack has a great chance of success, it depends on how to do it. Xiaobai, can you talk to these two NPCs? Can we go over and say a few words to them now and see if we can take this opportunity to make contributions?"

"Do you have an idea?"

"Yes, I have an idea. It depends on whether NPC accepts it or not. But... it depends on your help to introduce it."

Zhan Xiaobai thought for a moment and nodded. This matter is related to the overall situation and he cannot hide his own personal information. If he can successfully set fire, it would be best. He walked towards Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun in the Warring States Period and walked over.

Not far from the Second General, he was blocked by more than dozens of NPC guards and could not get too close.

Zhan Xiaobai, the world of the Warring States Period, and the three of Lan Demonic Tears were more than 20 meters away, and bowed: "Ya goalkeeper Xiaobai, the minister, the world of the Warring States Period, Qu Changlan Demonic Tears, have met General Huangfu and General Zhu."

Zhu Jun ignored it.

Only Huangfu Song looked back at them and found that it was Zhan Xiaobai. He nodded and smiled and said, "Xiaobai, what's the matter?"

Zhan Xiaobai said: "Please ask the two generals, do you want to launch a night fire attack on the enemy camp while the wind is strong?"

Huangfu Song said: "Not bad."

Zhan Xiaobai said: "There is a friend of Xiaguan who has an idea, but I don't know..."

Huangfu Song glanced at the Blue Demon Tears next to Zhan Xiaobai and said, "Oh, let's talk."

Zhan Xiaobai signaled, and Lan Molei immediately stepped forward and bowed, "Two lords, the officials recently saw the Yellow Turban Rebels pulling weeds outside the city. The weeds within a radius of five miles outside the city were weeded by their soldiers, probably to prevent our army's fire attack. In addition, they arranged at least five floors of isolation belts, a large amount of fire-fighting sand, stone, water, etc., and arranged at least 30,000 troops to defend day and night, making our army unable to attack fire at night. So..."

Zhu Jun suddenly had a cold face and said, "Why didn't you say such an important military situation earlier? It caused our army to die in vain."

Blue Demon's tears were speechless. Will he have the chance to speak? Even if he said it just now, can you listen? It turned out to be his fault if he said it this way!

Zhan Xiaobai, the world of the Warring States Period, was also embarrassed. Unexpectedly, Zhu Jun blew a big nail in one sentence. He offended these NPC troops and did not lose his official position on the spot.

Fortunately, Huangfu Song was a little reasonable. He waved his hand and said, "Military information is important, I won't mention the past. What are your solutions for this young general?"

Lan Molei immediately said: "The lower officials do have a plan. The enemy is very strict in preventing our army, and does not give our army any chance. They even remove weeds within five miles of the city to prevent fire. However, according to the young generals, they can prevent fire attacks from the inside of our city, but cannot prevent our army from launching fire attacks from the outside. The enemy's camps are too large, and most of them are stationed in dense grass, which is difficult to remove them all. If our army can attack fire from the outside, the enemy camp will definitely be burned, and thus defeating the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun were both excited at the same time, and this method might be successful.

Zhan Xiaobai secretly praised, Lan Demonic Tears' idea is good.

In historical plot, the one who burned the Bocai army was Huangfu Song, the general of the Central Army. Cao Cao, the cavalry commander, cooperated with Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun to attack the Bocai army. But now, Huangfu Song could not let the fire be released. So if Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun cooperated, it would be fine if Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun cooperated.

Huangfu Songzheng pointed out, "No, the enemy's inside is too strict and it is difficult to succeed, so it should be easier from the outside. However, how can our army launch a fire attack from the outside?"

Blue Demon said tears: "The task of burning the enemy camp must naturally be completed by our foreign reinforcements."

Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun looked at each other. They had already requested reinforcements from the court. After so long, I thought the reinforcements should be coming soon, and they could set fire to the enemy camp from the outside.

Huangfu Song hesitated: "The reinforcements may not know how to set fire to the Bo Cai Army. To let the reinforcements launch a fire attack, they must use the general's token to pass the order. However, who can break out and bring the token to inform the reinforcements to set off a fire?" This is a big trouble. If it cannot be solved, it is impossible to say that they are in the inside and outside.

Zhu Jun looked at Lan Moxie and said, "Since it was the idea that this young player came up with, he must be sure to sneak out of the encirclement. Why not just let you notify me, how about it?"

The Blue Demon was stunned for tears, almost regretting that he wanted to slap himself. Why didn’t he come up with such a bad idea? Isn’t this causing trouble for himself? Is it so easy to break out in the Yellow Turban camp?

Zhan Xiaobai and the World of Warring States Period almost burst into laughter, secretly glad that this idea was not made by himself.

Blue Demon Tears could not refuse, so he reluctantly nodded and agreed.

Huangfu Song praised: "Okay! Uh, let's do it. I will immediately release an instant mission. [Inside and outside]: Carry a token, contact reinforcements, and burn the enemy camp. Anyone who breaks through successfully will be rewarded with 100 guan of bronze and 10 merits."

This instant mission was immediately announced at the four major city towers. Although the reward is very generous, it is extremely dangerous and the chance of success is no more than one in ten thousand. In addition, it is night again, so there are not many imperial players in the city who sign up for the mission.

Blue Demon tear was sad, received a mission, brought a token, led a horse, and hundreds of adventure-loving players out of the city gates and lurked towards the Yellow Turban camp outside the city. Under the powerful blockade of the Yellow Turban players, if nothing unexpected happens, they have a 99.99% chance of being killed. This is probably what it means.

Zhan Xiaobai, in the Warring States Period, saw the "miserable" ending of Lan Molei, and did not dare to come up with bad ideas, so he hurriedly surrendered Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun.

Unfortunately, Huangfu Song didn't seem to have planned to let them go.

Huangfu Song narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Xiaobai, and this young general. Since you two come with that young general, they must have their own strategies to destroy the enemy?" His eyes swept over Zhan Xiaobai.

Zhan Xiaobai was shocked. He thought for a month and had not figured out how to deal with the Yellow Turban Army. Now in a hurry, he had no time to think of a countermeasure. He immediately politely gave the opportunity to the world of the Warring States Period and said, "Xiaguan, a brother from the Warring States Period, has a strategy of 100,000, so let's talk first. Xiaguan, listen first."

Huangfu Song turned to the world of the Warring States Period with sharp eyes.

The world of the Warring States Period almost shivered. Damn, the hateful Xiaobai, he actually betrayed his friends like this at the critical moment. No wonder everyone says that friends are used to betray them.

He didn't think of any ideas in advance, and was a little panicked and thought quickly: "This... the following officials' opinions, our army can build a super-large stone-firing cart, eject the fireball from afar into the enemy's camp, and launch a fire attack."

Huangfu Song shook his head and felt a little disappointed. What kind of stone cart can bounce the fireball five miles away?

He turned to Zhan Xiaobai and asked, "Xiaobai, what are your good plans?"

The world of the Warring States period suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. After all, I had already missed it and then went back to settle the accounts with Zhan Xiaobai.

"This... the lower official is not..." Zhan Xiaobai opened his mouth and was about to refuse. Suddenly, he saw the red paper lantern swaying on the city tower, and an idea flashed through his mind, saying, "Let's wait, the lower official has a good idea."
Chapter completed!
