Lord of the people online game

"Dismount and prepare to attack the city!"

Yang Ye was unwilling to let Hefei be snatched away by the soldiers and horses of other princes, so he ordered the cavalry of the invincible legion to dismount and fight on foot, and stormed the ruined Hefei city wall.

The current Hefei city wall is severely damaged, and it is not difficult to capture Hefei. Otherwise, once Hefei is built into an iron wall by Huan Wen, Jiangnan's troops can attack Shouchun through Hefei, posing a huge threat to Huainan and even the Central Plains.

"No matter which of Xuzhou Mu's generals is on the other side, they will all be beaten to death in front of me, Huan Wen."

Huan Wen ambushed the crossbowmen. When Yang Ye led the dismounted cavalry to attack the city, the crossbowmen who were ambushing behind the female wall fired thousands of arrows and killed hundreds of dismounted cavalry. Yang Ye's offensive was frustrated!

Yang Ye considered that he would suffer heavy losses, so he temporarily retreated.

"Dismounted cavalry are indeed not good at siege. Hefei's defender seems to be good at using infantry and archers."

After Yang Ye lost hundreds of cavalry, he immediately gave up the attack on Hefei.

Seeing that Yang Ye's invincible army stopped attacking the city, Huan Wen showed an expression of surprise.

The role of cavalry in the Huainan area is limited, let alone siege warfare.

However, Yang Ye did not completely withdraw, but was waiting for the arrival of the servant legion. Joan of Arc's servant legion had a group of soldiers who were not afraid of death, and could give the proud Huan Wen a surprise.

"Why hasn't he left yet? Is he waiting for reinforcements?" Huan Wen guessed Yang Ye's intention, "Although there is no time to repair the city wall of Hefei, even if 30,000 more people come, it is impossible to capture Hefei, which I, Huan Wen, guard."

When the Xuzhou Army attacked Huainan, the sky gradually became gloomy, black clouds rolled over the city, and soon it started to rain continuously.

Yang Ye planned to wait for the arrival of the servant army and use it to break through the city, but the continuous heavy rain had a huge impact on the attack on Huainan, and the march of the grain transport team was greatly slowed down.

Joan of Arc's legions of servants arrived in Hefei despite the rain, and the water levels in the surrounding rivers and lakes rose sharply.

"With this kind of bad weather, if Hefei can be attacked by force, the defenders of Hefei will be caught off guard and Hefei can be easily captured. Is the morale of your servant army available?"

Yang Ye knows that bad weather is also a fighter opportunity.

Joan of Arc replied: "My encouragement to the Legion will not be affected by adverse circumstances."

"Then it can be done."

Yang Ye is already confident.

Heavy rain made the roads muddy, and Chutian's rear army finally reached Shouchun City.

Zang Ba, Sun Guan's Langya Defense Corps, and Mi Fang's Donghai Defense Corps arrived and obeyed orders under Chu Tian's tent.

"Carry out a siege and attack immediately as soon as the rain stops."

If Chutian wanted to capture the fortified Shouchun City, he would probably have to pay a high price.

"I don't know if the infantry and cavalry attacking Hefei can succeed."

It was raining continuously in Chutian. The army composed of Yang Ye and Joan of Arc to attack Hefei would probably be affected by the rainy weather.

Weather is also important to marching operations.

Chutian is considering taking advantage of the rising water level in the Huaihe River to see if Shouchun City can be flooded.

However, using water to attack is a big project, and it takes a lot of time to dig river channels. Moreover, after Shouchun City is submerged, the damage caused to the city and the impact on the people's hearts are the price of destroying the city.

Chu Tian hesitated whether to use the double-edged sword of water attack. Unless he had a better way.

In Hefei City, the defender Huan Wen inspected the city defenses and saw that there was no movement in the enemy's camp. He thought that the enemy had given up attacking Hefei, so he returned to the county government with confidence.

In the rain, Joan of Arc held up a battle flag that was soaked by the heavy rain, and led an army of servants to launch an attack in the heavy rain!

Tens of thousands of servants carried ladders, feverishly climbed the city wall, and started to break through from the northeast corner!

The defenders of Hefei did not expect that there was still a legion that could launch an attack in such bad weather. They were caught off guard and fought on the city wall with the legions of servants who had climbed onto the city. Soldiers who died in battle continued to fall into the water!

Full-armored knights holding long-handled axes can break through the defenses of most types of soldiers. They are like ghosts in the heavy rain, knocking down a defender with a long-handled axe, and then swinging the battle ax to chop it down!

In the heavy rain, bows and crossbows were almost useless. Soldiers from both sides fought hand-to-hand with swords and spears. Hundreds of people died!

Joan of Arc holds a knight's sword and fights several defenders besieging her.

A large shield hit Joan of Arc, causing her foot to slip and she almost fell from the wall of Hefei City.

The city wall of Hefei is at least eight meters high. It is almost impossible to survive a fall from the city wall.

Several defenders stabbed Joan of Arc with spears. The latter hurriedly used her shield to block three spears, but one spear stabbed her in the shoulder!

Joan of Arc cut off a spear with her knight's sword and blocked it with her shield. Blood flowed down her shoulder. She stabbed three defenders to death by herself.

The soldiers guarding the city probably realized that this was the enemy's general, so more defenders came to besiege Joan of Arc.

"Protect the General!"

The knights of the servant legion stood in front of Joan of Arc. The knights' swords, poleaxes, swords and spears collided, and they fought hard to repel the defenders.

The servant army had an unexpected advantage, and coupled with its high morale, the defenders were retreating steadily.

"I didn't expect that her ability is really terrifying. This kind of bad weather can also boost morale."

Yang Ye was ready to enter the city. The division of labor between him and Joan of Arc was simple. Joan was responsible for using her ability to attack Hefei in the heavy rain. After seizing the city gate, Yang Ye led the cavalry to attack the city.

Occupy Hefei!

The servant army quickly occupied a section of the city wall, killed the defenders at the city gate, captured a city gate, and opened the gate to let Yang Ye's cavalry enter the city!

"kill!"

Yang Ye took the lead and led 10,000 cavalry into the city. The huge horse hooves trampled the stagnant water and the water splashed!

"General, the enemy has occupied the city gate, and the cavalry is marching straight in!"

Huan Wen was about to take a rest when shouts of killing broke out in the city. Joan of Arc's legions of servants had already seized the city gate and let Yang Ye's cavalry enter the city!

"The morale of their legions cannot be enough to attack the city in heavy rain! All soldiers, follow me to defend the enemy!"

Although Huan Wen didn't know why the enemy's morale was still high despite the continuous rain, the enemy troops had already entered the city at this time. Only by expelling them as soon as possible could it be possible to defend Hefei!

If Hefei falls, the pressure on Lujiang will be unprecedented!

Yang Ye's cavalry galloped through the streets of Hefei. Yang Ye rushed at the front and stabbed several Chaisang soldiers to death along the way with a red tassel spear!

"Put up a spear formation!"

Huan Wen led his troops to form a spear formation in an attempt to prevent Yang Ye from capturing Hefei.

Both sides know the importance of Hefei.

Yang Ye took advantage of Huan Wen's spear formation before it was formed, and rode into the enemy formation!

Even the light cavalry has the ability to attack the enemy's formation head-on!

Yang Ye's cavalry followed the general and rushed forward. The horses knocked down the enemy troops on the opposite side, and the horses' hooves trampled over them!

Yang Ye holds a spear and kills alone, sweeping the area!

The cavalry behind him followed the gap opened by Yang Ye and tore open the opponent's infantry phalanx blocking the street!

When it was difficult to use crossbows, the cavalry did not have to worry about being attacked from a distance. They followed Yang Ye closely, attacking the enemy's formation one after another!

Huan Wen tried his best to maintain his formation and slow down Yang Ye's cavalry advance.

"Soldiers, the only way to survive is to fight to the death!"

Under Huan Wen's encouragement, the infantry, which had collapsed, regained their strength and slowed down the impact of Yang Ye's cavalry.

The two sides saw each other on the streets. The narrow streets greatly restricted the role of the cavalry. When the speed of the cavalry dropped, it turned into a hand-to-hand battle with the infantry holding halberds and spears. Each suffered casualties.

The cost of cavalry was much higher than that of infantry. Huan Wen took advantage of the narrow terrain and caused a large number of casualties to Yang Ye's invincible legion.

Dozens of infantrymen died under Yang Ye, but a steady stream of infantrymen came from behind and stabbed Yang Ye with spears.

In less than half an hour, hundreds of cavalry and infantry were killed!

When the two sides were in a stalemate, the Japanese warriors of the servant legion and the soldiers of the Arab Empire detoured to Huan Wen's rear and attacked Huan Wen with Yang Ye. This group of fanatical warriors and believers rushed into the enemy formation regardless of the cost, slashing with samurai swords and Damascus swords, causing the rear

Dozens of Chaisang soldiers died in battle!

The front and rear attacks caused the morale of Huan Wen's army to collapse, and Huan Wen was defeated!

Seeing that the situation was over, Huan Wen didn't know how many enemies there were, so he led his soldiers to a city gate, seized the gate and fled.

Huan Wen's legion had a large number of soldiers. Huan Wen wanted to retreat, but the invincible legion and servant legion that were chasing him were killed a lot by Huan Wen's legion.

"What a formidable opponent."

When Yang Ye saw that Huan Wen could inflict a large number of casualties on his cavalry even when being flanked, he looked solemn and allowed the rain to fall into a pool of blood along his armor.

In the Battle of Hefei, the casualties on both sides combined were at least 2,000, and Joan of Arc was injured.

Huan Wen retreated in defeat, partly because he did not know the strength of Yang Ye and Joan of Arc.

"I'm not willing to fail like this!"

Huan Wen withdrew from Hefei and suddenly felt that something was wrong. He might have overestimated the opponent's strength. The Japanese warriors and Arab Empire soldiers who just attacked his rear army may only have a few hundred people combined.

"General, our reinforcements have arrived!"

When Huan Wen was defeated, Zu Ti of Lujiang led 20,000 Lujiang soldiers and horses to support Huan Wen and joined Huan Wen's Chaisang soldiers.

"Why was Hefei lost?"

"I overestimated the enemy's military strength. Together, the two of us can retake Hefei!"

"good!"

Zu Ti and Huan Wen joined forces, with thirty to forty thousand men, and turned around to attack Hefei!

Hefei is too important to them!

Taking Hefei now may require 10,000 or 20,000 casualties, but if we don't take it now, Hefei may become a meat grinder in the future, and it may not be possible to capture even 100,000 casualties.

"The enemy troops turn back!"

Yang Ye had just expelled Huan Wen who occupied Hefei, and Huan Wen came back again. Yang Ye and Joan of Arc became the defenders, and they fought hard to defend Hefei.

The servant legion and the dismounted cavalry came to the city wall to defend the city wall, and the two sides fought in the heavy rain!

After having gauze wrapped around her shoulders, Joan of Arc continued to fight with her sword.

Zu Ti and Huan Wen ordered the soldiers to set up ladders and climb up. Before Yang Ye could gain a foothold, they stormed Hefei!

Although the great princes behind the two sides have no tendency to attack each other at this time, they are already fighting for the key Hefei. Whoever can win Hefei will take the initiative in the future!

A large number of Lujiang soldiers and Chaisang soldiers climbed up the city from all directions. The soldiers holding heavy hammers knocked out a full-armored knight, and hammered him down again. The knights who were high-level soldiers were also killed. The Japanese warrior was stabbed to death by a spear.

, the Arab Empire soldiers were picked off.

In order to kill the fanatical servant soldiers, a large number of Lujiang and Chaisang's soldiers were killed, and corpses were everywhere under the city.

"What is the origin of this legion of strange soldiers?"

Zu Ti and Huan Wen commanded a brutal siege in heavy rain. They were surprised by the combat effectiveness and morale of the servant legions.

What they didn't know was that all the servants in this army were high-level soldiers, and only Chu Tian was willing to use them as cannon fodder.

Most of Zu Ti and Huan Wen's soldiers were low-ranking soldiers.

Yang Ye held a gun on the city wall to clean up the enemies. All the enemies who climbed onto the city fell to his red tassel gun.

In order to compete for Hefei, the two sides fought fiercely until nightfall. The soldiers could not even swing their swords, so they stopped fighting.

"Huh...huh..."

Joan of Arc used her long sword to support her body, and her physical strength reached its extreme.

When both sides realized the importance of Hefei, they attacked it at all costs.

Hou Jing was unable to protect himself, giving Lujiang's ancestors Ti and Huan Wen the opportunity to capture Hefei. Yang Ye and Joan of Arc followed Chu Tian's orders and went south to capture Hefei, and a fierce battle finally broke out.

The next day, the two sides took a short rest and then fought again in the heavy rain. The battle continued!

…

Under Shouchun City, Chu Tian looked at the continuous rain. He had received news that Yang Ye and Joan of Arc had stationed in Hefei and were fighting with the legions suspected of coming from Lujiang. Among them, Joan of Arc was injured in the rain and had a high fever.

Not retreating. Chu Tian asked Li Lan, the doctor accompanying the army, to go to Hefei.

At the same time, Chutian sent Zang Ba and Sun Guan's Langya Defense Corps, 15,000 men, southward to support Yang Ye and Joan of Arc.

Chu Tian didn't have much trust in Mi Fang's ability, but Zang Ba and Sun Guan were still very reliable.

Zang Ba became a one-eyed dragon, and Sun Guan walked with a limp, but they were both generals who dared to fight.

The legion capable of competing with Yang Ye for Hefei was obviously the legion left by Tongque, the prefect of Lujiang, to guard Lujiang.

"Tongque must know the importance of Hefei, so he did not hesitate to send the army to attack Hefei. Maybe if Shouchun is captured, I can also attack Lujiang."

Although Chutian did not declare war with Tongque, during the period of separatist rule, various alliances and conspiracies were common. Chutian could completely occupy Jiujiang County, then attack Lujiang and completely occupy Jiangbei.

Chutian besieged but refused to attack. Hou Jing was worried that the Xuzhou Army would take advantage of the heavy rain to make a sneak attack, so he sent people to patrol day and night, and even came to guard the city wall himself.

During this period, Hou Jing tried to lead his troops out of the city to attack Chu Tian's main army tent, but was repulsed by Xue Rengui and Hua Mulan. They pursued him to the bottom of the city, fearing that they would be ambushed by the defenders in the city, so they stopped.

Guo Jia followed Hou Jing on the city wall and looked at the camp of the Xuzhou Army in the heavy rain, but his expression was relatively calm.

As long as the rain stops, Hou Jing will die soon.

The reason why the siege party below the city made no movement was because they were unwilling to attack in the rain and suffer too many casualties.
