Chapter 125 Battle of Equipment

Yunze's army divided into four groups with a force of hundreds of thousands of troops to block the road to retreat to Quyang City. The Yellow Turban Army all fled to the surrounding mountains and forests, greatly reducing the number of defenders in the city. When Huangfu Song and others led the Han army and the player troops to Quyang City to meet with them, they all felt very incredible and very glad.

If Wenmin hadn't been chasing the front and took the most correct measures in time, after the Yellow Turban Army withdrew from the city and increased its strength to the defenders, their siege would still be very difficult. So the three bigwigs discussed for a while and decided to commend Yunze Army as a vanguard, clear the way for the army, and successfully drove away the Yellow Turban Army who were trying to return to the city, giving him 30 million points of military merit rewards.

When the government army surrounded Quyang City again, the Yellow Turban Army in the city no longer dared to leave the city to challenge the government army. First of all, their leader Zhang Bao was dead. Although the other generals who led the army were still considering the overall situation, there was no such thing as fighting for power and profit. After all, there was no one who convinced everyone to command, so it was still difficult for each division to cooperate tacitly. Moreover, the number of Yellow Turban Army in the city is only about 100 million. Due to the annihilation of Zhang Bao's personal guards, the remaining Yellow Turban Army's elite level could not meet the Han army. Now there are almost no soldiers above the Yellow Level in the city.

Considering that the morale of the Yellow Turban Army is now declining and has not yet recovered from the news of Zhang Bao's death, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun and Lu Zhi discussed it and decided to organize an attack immediately and not give the Yellow Turban Army a chance to breathe.

Then Wenmin and all the players saw that the Han army's NPCs were unleashed a bunch of crossbows, catapults, rushing cars and other siege equipment from somewhere, and they also sent people to ask them to bring some here too. On average, players or soldiers with a thousand combat power can be assigned a siege equipment.

Wenmin and his team still have less than five million combat power, so they have been assigned nearly five thousand catapult cars. Wenmin estimated that if the Han army had the same distribution ratio, there would be at least hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of siege equipment on the entire battlefield! If so many siege equipment could show their power together, they would be able to smash Quyang City into pieces in less than a day!

Of course, that's just if. The range of siege equipment in the city is farther than theirs, and they will definitely fight back. During the period when the battle begins, it will definitely be a stage where both sides consume each other's siege equipment.

Wenmin went to the Han army camp to obtain five thousand crossbows. This war of attrition between the two sides' weapons had almost no effect on the soldiers' abilities. Wenmin did not want his soldiers to consume in such battles. The range of the crossbows was far, and it was easier to aim than the catapults. The heavy arrows shot out could also destroy the enemy's equipment, so he directly abandoned the catapults and rushing cars, and used all the crossbows to specifically destroy the enemy's equipment.

Facts proved that Wenmin's choice was correct. Because the range of the crossbow carts was relatively long, they could attack the equipment on the city wall outside the range of the catapult carts on the defending city. Although the crossbow carts of the defending army could also fight back, Yunze Army concentrated all the crossbow carts in one place, first concentrated on destroying the crossbow carts on the city wall, causing the defenders to lose the ability to counterattack, and then slowly eliminate the catapult carts. These catapult cars had no ability to fight back due to the range limitation. After Yunze Army cleared a section of the equipment on the city wall, they moved to another place and continued to do the same, eroding the enemy bit by bit.

However, the equipment arranged by the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall was limited because the space on the city wall was unable to be transferred, so it was always in a passive situation of being beaten.

After seeing Wenmin's method, the nearby Han army and player troops were also deeply inspired. They all gave up the catapult cart and used crossbow carts to gather together to destroy the defenders' equipment.

At this time, the Yellow Turban Army in the city felt very uncomfortable. At the beginning, when Yunze Army used such shameless tactics, they were not particularly scared. They even planned to gather nearby crossbows quietly as soon as possible and ambush them in a place. When Yunze Army moved to this area, they would suddenly launch the arranged crossbows troops to fight to eliminate this cunning enemy in one fell swoop.

Before their plan could be implemented, they heard that all the officials outside were already using such tactics. After hearing this, these Yellow Turban generals suddenly had an urge to cry without tears. Now they dare not concentrate all these crossbows casually. If the enemy outside the city breaks through from other places while they concentrate the crossbows in one place, they will be not far from destruction.

However, if the crossbows are not concentrated, they will not be able to deal with the enemy's shameless tactics: at this time the disadvantages of defending the city are shown. The siege can have countless opportunities to fail. Even if the siege fails, as long as the defender's troops and materials are consumed, it is a victory for them; but for the defender's guard, they have no chance of failure. As long as there is a loophole in a place, it may cause the city to fall!

In this kind of equipment attack between the two sides, due to the limited space on the city wall, they are destined to be unable to arrange many equipment on each section of the city wall, but the attacking side is different. In some space outside the city, they can arrange several or even dozens of equipment at the same time in a certain section of the area, forming an absolute number of suppression on the defender in this section of the area. Moreover, they can also lure movement at any time, hitting wherever they want, so that the defender is exhausted but unable to defend.

Under this tactic, in just over two hours, all the Yellow Turban Army defending equipment on the city wall was destroyed. After destroying the defenders' long-range equipment, the official army did not rush to attack in order to reduce casualties, but pulled out all the catapults and began to slam the city wall, making the city wall full of holes and shaking, and the defenders on the city wall were also smashed by the overwhelming stones and ran away.

Since the previous crossbows could only shoot directly and due to the elevation angle, they could not be too dense when arranged. The two rows of crossbows should be at least a few dozen meters apart, so it is only possible to arrange five or six rows at most. However, the catapults now do not have such concerns. The catapults attack is ejected, and there is no problem of elevation angle, so there is no need for a large distance between the two catapults. As long as there is enough space, it is not a problem to arrange twenty or thirty rows.

Moreover, after the catapult attack for a period of time, at Guo Jia's suggestion, Huangfu Song ordered all the catapults to be concentrated in front of one city wall, and strive to destroy one city wall as soon as possible. As long as one or even one section of the city wall can be completely destroyed, there will be no suspense in this battle.
