Mythical Lords of the Three Kingdoms: Invincible from the Bandit

Chapter 214 Wuhuan Invasion!Nie Lie died in battle!
Town Yancheng.

This is the second city Qin Yuan occupied.

It is also one of the northernmost cities in Pingyun County.

Even in Pingyun County, Gongsun Zan, Qin Yuan, and the player's army were fighting in full swing, but the flames of war still did not spread to Zhenyan City.

In Qin Yuan's territory.

Except for one city which was forcibly captured by Gongsun Zan, the rest of the cities were not under too much threat.

After all, Qin Yuan occupied Pingyun County and controlled the main transportation hub.

Things like Gongsun Zan's crossing the county seat and attacking the rear city can only succeed once or twice at most.

If there were too many times, and Qin Yuan found out, he would be surrounded.

Therefore, Zhenyan City, Yuncheng, etc. in the north can be regarded as a piece of pure land, far away from the smoke of gunpowder.

On the city wall, there are night soldiers patrolling daily.

It was late at night.

Suddenly, the city wall shook violently, and the drowsy soldiers woke up suddenly.

They looked outside the city, and through the darkness, they could still see a black shadow like a wave, rapidly approaching Zhenyan City.

So late, how can there be an army?

Could it be the army sent by Qin Yuan?But they have not received relevant notifications.

Or, was Gongsun Zan's cavalry attacking the city?

It's possible.

However, it stands to reason that Gongsun Zan should not do this.

After all, everything about the city is imaginary.

If you want to put down the rebel army, you must rely on hard power to wipe out Qin Yuan's large army.

As for capturing some cities, it doesn't make much sense.

Moreover, although Zhenyan City is the second city occupied by Qin Yuan, there are not many defenders in it, only 5000 people.

Cities like this abound.

At most, these troops are responsible for the daily security work of the city, and it is impossible to resist the attack of a powerful army.

Qin Yuan is also very aware of this.

Therefore, they did not deploy too many defenses on these cities.

Instead, most of the troops were mobilized in the county.

In his opinion, no matter if it was Yuncheng, Zhenyancheng, or other cities, if Gongsun Zan wanted to cross the county town and capture it, it would be very difficult for him to stop it.

The more troops deployed, the greater the loss will be.

After several days of fighting with Gongsun Zan, the player's coalition forces realized that they had to join forces in one place.

Qin Yuan, on the other hand, had thought of this a long time ago.

Therefore, even in the face of Gongsun Zan's threat of more than 20 cavalry, Qin Yuan did not lose too much troops.

As for the city, if Gongsun Zan wants to capture it, then give it to him.

Moreover, once the city is captured, it will be divided into troops to defend it, which will actually disperse the rear force, which is what Qin Yuan wants to see.

Unfortunately, Gongsun Zan did not do this.

Except for the four cities that were stormed at the beginning, the other cities were not captured by the cavalry army, but were occupied one by one by the siege army behind.

Oh oh oh!
Under the night sky, loud horns sounded in Zhenyan City.

Regardless of whether the army outside the city was Gongsun Zan's army or Qin Yuan's, there was nothing wrong with being careful.

As Zhenyan City, it is the first line of defense to guard the north. The soldiers here have experienced many wars, so they are more vigilant.

As the horn sounded, the sleeping soldiers in the barracks were awakened immediately, quickly put on their clothes and armor, took up their weapons, and rushed out of the camp to meet up.

After a while, a tall and mighty general stood on the city wall.

This person is Nie Lie.

He is the general defending Yancheng.

When Qin Yuan attacked Zhenyan City, Nie Lie led his army to join Qin Yuan.

Its military capabilities are good.

Qin Yuan once wanted him to follow him to conquer Pingyun County.

But Nie Lie refused.

His reason was that he had made an oath that he would stay on the frontier of the Han Dynasty forever and resist foreign enemies for the rest of his life.

In this regard, Qin Yuan did not force it, he respected everyone's decision.

Of course, there is one thing, that is, Nie Lie is a military commander himself.

Therefore, he no longer changed his job to become a general of the Temple of War.

His loyalty is not actually a diehard loyalty.

In response to this, Qin Yuan asked him to guard Zhenyan City all the time, and he was still a garrison general.

"General, there are enemies outside the city!"

"Judging from the movement, it should be a large group of cavalry!"

A centurion said to Nie Lie. "Could it be that Gongsun Zan sent troops to attack the city?"

Now everyone knows that Gongsun Zan is leading an army to fight the 'rebels' in Pingyun County.

Although Qin Yuan occupied most of the cities, his attitude towards the common people was pretty good.

However, this world is still ruled by the great man after all, and people still yearn for the orthodox man.

The common people were forced to submit to the rule of Qingfengzhai out of helplessness.

In their hearts, most people still prefer the Han court.

After all, the orthodox status of the Han Dynasty's rule for hundreds of years has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it cannot be changed overnight.

Even in the period when the princes were fighting for hegemony, there were still many famous generals and ministers whose hearts belonged to the great man.

"Not too possible!"

"If I were Gongsun Zan, it would be impossible for me to attack Zhenyan City across several cities and hundreds of miles away!"

"After all, Zhenyan City is not an important city!"

"Based on my analysis, Gongsun Zan's focus must be to conquer Pingyun County in this way."

Nie Lie shook his head and said, "Also, even if Gongsun Zan's cavalry came, shouldn't they attack from the south of the city?"

"Again, it's also attacking the east and west walls!"

"How could it be possible to deliberately circle around and come from the northern city!"

Although Nie Lie did not participate in the battle in Pingyun County, he has been paying attention to the changes in the situation.

However, he had no intention of rebelling against Qin Yuan.

One is that he has become Qin Yuan's subordinate and is loyal to Qin Yuan, and he will not black hand Qin Yuan just because of the court's righteousness.

The second is that he still maintains his original intention in his heart, and only wants to stay in Zhenyan City forever and resist the invasion of foreign races. As for other things, he doesn't want to get involved too much.

"That's alien!"

The centurion woke up startled.

In the past, when Zhenyan City was attacked, he would definitely think of the alien race outside the Great Wall.

But on the contrary, it was because of the war in Pingyun County that they subconsciously invaded this point.

As his voice fell, the army outside the city was approaching.

He was a tall, burly, bearded alien soldier!

Judging from their appearance, clothing and weapons, they are obviously Wuhuan cavalrymen!

They fought Wuhuan cavalry many times.

Every year when autumn comes, Wuhuan or Xianbei will invade Youzhou and plunder money and food to ensure that the tribe can survive the winter.

If it was in previous years, Wuhuan and other foreign races would have invaded long ago.

This year, however, is a bit unusual. It has been about half a month since the beginning of autumn, and there is still no sign of the Wuhuan people.

But abnormal behavior often means that something big has happened.

"This scale, I am afraid there are as many as one hundred thousand!"

Nie Lie said solemnly, "Prepare to defend against the enemy!"

The number of Wuhuan people is much more than before.

In the past, they were all small armies of the Wuhuan tribe, and the targets of looting were also some villages and towns.

Attacking cities is not common.

And once the target of the Wuhuan tribe is the city, it means that the Wuhuan tribe will launch a large-scale military operation in Youzhou, instead of making small troubles like before.

This abnormal behavior made Nie Lie think of it.

Maybe it's because the Wuhuan tribe knew about the rebellion in Pingyun County, so they wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

This is not impossible.

After all, this is what aliens are best at.

The foreign races have always coveted the fertile land of the Central Plains. Whenever the Central Plains dynasty is unstable, the foreign races will invade south.

Swish swish!
Before Nie Lie's order could be conveyed, arrows rained all over the sky from outside the city, covering the entire city wall.

Numerous soldiers were hit by heavy arrows and fell to the ground dead.

But the rain of arrows didn't stop, on the contrary, it became bigger and bigger.

Like Wuhuan, a foreign race on the grass, almost everyone is tall and strong, capable of fighting, and has both bow and horse.

Once mounted and armored, he is a qualified soldier.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the overall quality of these Wuhuan people is better than that of people from the Central Plains.

But in the harsh environment outside the Great Wall, those who can survive have extraordinary physical strength.

As for those with poor physique, they will inevitably be eliminated, and they will not survive at all.

For a while, the defenders had just gathered in the city, and countless casualties were caused by the rain of arrows.

What made people even more desperate was that a Wuhuan heavy cavalry charged at the city gate.

Every time they charged, the city gate was deafening and crumbling.

Even the city wall shook violently.

After several rounds of collisions, the city gate was broken.

"General, the city gate has been breached!"

exclaimed the centurion.

They looked into the city, and countless Wuhuan cavalry rushed in and rushed into the city.

Although there are thousands of defenders in the city, they are basically advanced troops after Qin Yuan changed his job.

However, facing the ferocious Wuhuan cavalry, they couldn't resist at all.

There are too many Wuhuan cavalry!

In just a short while, more than [-] Wuhuan soldiers entered the city.

And there are countless enemies outside the city.

"Kill, swear to protect Zhenyan City!"

Nie Lie led the soldiers under his command to start a battle with the Wuhuan cavalry.

He knew very well that with the thousands of troops in Yancheng, it was impossible for him to be the opponent of the Wuhuan cavalry.

However, for the faith in his heart and for the people in the city, he is obliged to do so.

The soldiers following him were also fighting to protect their homeland.

However, although they are full of enthusiasm, they can't change anything in the face of absolute strength.

Nie Lie took the lead and rushed towards the Wuhuan cavalry, and set his sights on a Wuhuan general!
However, Nie Lie underestimated this person's strength!
boom!
A loud bang came out.

I saw Nie Lie being directly knocked down to the ground by a general holding a giant hammer, spitting blood.

Another hammer fell, and Nie Lie's entire body was smashed into the ground, but his head was directly sent flying out of the cloud, rolling down more than ten meters.

The big eyes on the head are staring straight ahead, but there is only a face of dead gray, with no vitality, and death is not in peace.

This general who joined the army since he was a child and fought against foreign races for decades has killed countless Wuhuan Xianbei in his hands.

Unexpectedly, now he ended up with a dead body in a different place!
"You dare to challenge the great Wuhuan warrior!"

The general swung his sledgehammer round and smashed the soldiers in a radius of more than ten meters to death.

With the death of Nie Lie and the entry of Wuhuan cavalry, thousands of defenders were wiped out.

But things didn't end there.

After the Wuhuan cavalry wiped out the defenders, they attacked the people in the city.

Compared with the burning, killing and looting of the player coalition forces, the Wuhuan cavalry adopted a more tragic massacre of the city.

That night, none of the hundreds of thousands of people in Zhenyan City survived.

The city was filled with corpses and blood flowed like rivers, making it a hell on earth.

Like dripping blood, Zhenyan City was completely dyed red.

Even ten miles away from Zhenyan City, one could still smell a heavy stench of blood.

Pingyun County.

Qin Yuan led his army back to the county seat.

In the confrontation just now, Gongsun Zan did not make up his mind to go to war in the end.

Of course, even if there was a real war, Qin Yuan would not be afraid.

It's nothing more than a little more loss.

At the same time, because of Gongsun Zan's recruitment, the players who didn't trust him were completely disappointed.

After all, he and the player are only temporarily smart because they have a common enemy.

Rather than a community of interests, it is difficult for the two parties to come together.

Fortunately, Qin Yuan was always on guard against the players, so even if he knew that the players were all such people, he didn't have much loss.

Regarding the player's choice, Qin Yuan can understand, but cannot forgive.

"If you really want to fight Gongsun Zan, you have to avoid the player coalition!"

"On this battlefield, you are not afraid of opponents who are like gods, but teammates who are like pigs!"

"If they have them, it will only cause me trouble, and the help they can provide is extremely limited!"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Yuan thought about tomorrow's battle.

With Gongsun Zan's character, he will definitely not avoid tomorrow's war.

However, after seeing the strength of Qin Yuan's side, Gongsun Zan will definitely attach great importance to it, and the army participating in the battle is definitely more than 20 cavalry.

I am afraid that more troops will be mobilized from all over the night.

Even, it was some guild forces in the player's coalition that instigated rebellion.

This may pose a little threat to Qin Yuan.

But only a little bit.

The current Qin Yuan is not afraid at all that the players' coalition forces will turn against each other, and it will not be certain who will turn against others.

He helped players transfer a large number of combat arms before, but they all obeyed his orders.

It's just that Qin Yuan didn't want to expose this hole card too early.

Otherwise, how can the players hand over the soldiers obediently, and willingly help him raise soldiers.

In addition, the task of conquering the city and land will just end tomorrow, so his strength will definitely increase greatly.

This increased his chances of defeating Gongsun Zan.

"Qu handsome!"

A person walked outside the door.

Qin Yuan looked up and saw that it was Zhao Shuhuai, a talisman magician.

After some inquiries before, I know that he is a congenital warlock.

But Zhao Shuhuai is not Qin Yuan's subordinate, more like the headquarters sent to supervise Qin Yuan.

Zhao Shuhuai generally would not make a move unless necessary.

"What's the matter, Mr. Zhao!"

Qin Yuan asked.

Zhao Shuhuai is like a special envoy, representing the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao.

However, the commanders of all parties have a high degree of autonomy over their own territories and troops, and even Zhang Jiao or the headquarters will generally not intervene too much.

This is why Qin Yuan is willing to join the Yellow Turban Army and can tolerate the existence of Zhao Shuhuai.

"Regarding Gongsun Zan's recruitment, what are your real thoughts?"

Zhao Shuhuai sat down, faced Qin Yuan, and asked.

"Why, Mr. Zhao wants to be a lobbyist for Gongsun Zan?"

Qin Yuan looked at Zhao Shuhuai suspiciously.

He pondered for a while, the Yellow Turban Army should have had no intersection with Gongsun Zan.

If there is, it is really flooding the Dragon King Temple.

But even if the Yellow Turban Army wanted to recruit Gongsun Zan, he might not join.

Gongsun Zan was highly valued by the court, and he was from an aristocratic family. He held a lot of power, so he probably looked down on organizations like the Yellow Turban Army.
