Mythical Lords of the Three Kingdoms: Invincible from the Bandit

Chapter 256 The Precarious County City!
Shanggu County City, City Lord's Mansion.

"Lord Gongsun Taishou, urgent information, the Yellow Turban Army headed by Qin Yuan has captured Jusu, Xialuo, Zhuolu and other counties!"

"Except for Juyang, all cities in other counties have fallen!"

"Several large-scale Yellow Turban armies have appeared in Juyang, several cities have been breached, and the enemy's target is directly targeting the county town!"

"The cavalry army led by Qin Yuan himself has entered Juyang County"

An official reported to Gongsun Fuhui with a trembling voice.

The Yellow Turban Army sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, growing wildly, and swept the entire Shanggu County in an instant.

This is an acceptable range.

At least in the early days of the outbreak of the Yellow Turbans, the government army was still able to compete with the Yellow Turbans one or two.

But when Qin Yuan entered Shanggu County, Qin Yuan deteriorated rapidly.

In front of Qin Yuan's three-way army, wherever he went, he captured every city in a devastating manner!
At the beginning, the governments and powerful armies from all over the country would fight against the attack of Qin Yuan's army.

But later, they discovered to their horror that no matter how strong they were or how many troops they had, they were no match for Qin Yuan's army.

And Qin Yuan's reputation as a preferred captive made many powerful families give up resistance.

Most of the Yellow Turban Army, every time they break through a city, they will raise their butcher knives and kill the wealthy families in the city.

One is to vent anger and revenge.

The second is to seize the money and food in the hands of these families.

The third is to completely destroy the enemy's vital forces, prevent these forces from causing trouble, and completely eradicate the threat. As for future development, it is not within the scope of the Yellow Turban Army's consideration.

It is precisely because of this reason that they only want to destroy, but do not pay attention to construction, the development of the Yellow Turban Army is extremely rapid.

Of course, this approach will cause endless troubles, that is, unsustainable development.

When the wealth from looting is exhausted, they either choose to continue to attack the city to support the war.

Either it will face the difficulty of lack of money and food, and eventually it will not be able to guarantee the logistics supply of the army, which will lead to a collapse.

This is also one of the reasons why the Yellow Turban Army was suppressed by the court.

Qin Yuan is not like the Yellow Turban Army in other regions, but adopted gentle methods to ensure the normal operation of order and ecology in various places.

From being ruled by the government to being governed by Qin Yuan, other changes are not significant.

Knowing that they were invincible, these gentry classes naturally chose to surrender.

What annoyed Gongsun Fu the most was that he knew that with the strength of the government forces from all over the country, it was impossible to resist the Yellow Turban Army.

Therefore, an order was issued early to let the troops from all over the country withdraw to the county.

In this way, even if all the places fell, he would be able to fight Qin Yuan by gathering all his troops and guarding the county.

As a result, because of Qin Yuan's policy, many county governments would rather choose to surrender than retreat to the county town!
Because the Yellow Turban Army was about to succeed, and Qin Yuan's army was too fierce, many local officials did not think that Gongsun Fu had the ability to withstand Qin Yuan's attack.

Anyway, sooner or later you will be defeated, so why bother, it is better to surrender obediently, otherwise, the consequences may be unimaginable!
No one is willing to take unnecessary risks for Gongsun Fu's words!

"Hmph, how many troops have been summoned?"

Gongsun Fu asked with a grim expression.

During this time, all he did was three things.

One is to mobilize soldiers and horses from various places and recall the troops that were dispatched before.

The second is to request military and material assistance from the state capital above, the Gongsun family, and the court.

The third is large-scale conscription.

This was the way Gongsun Fu could think of to fight against Qin Yuan.

Even though he knew Qin Yuan was strong and invincible, Gongsun Fu still did not give up hope.

After all, if he is a majestic prefect of a county, if he surrenders to Qin Yuan, wouldn't it be ridiculous, and where will he put his face in the future.

Also, given the grievances between the two of them, how could Qin Yuan let Gongsun Fu go.

"At present, 30 troops have been recalled!"

The official said, "Most areas have been attacked by the Yellow Turban Army, and we have no choice but to stay where we are!"

"Stay where you are?"

"I think they are surrendering the city!"

"It's all a bunch of trash!"

Gongsun Fu said angrily.

The army of 30 is not even the strength of a county.

Today, the combined strength of the entire county can reach 200 million.

And some of these 200 million troops are composed of player forces!
This force is not weak.

If it is placed in other places, even the Yellow Turban Army Commander Daqu would not dare to confront it head-on, and he can even take the initiative to counterattack the Yellow Turban Army and make great achievements.

But, who made them meet Qin Yuan!

Qin Yuan's headquarters dispatched 160 million troops, but all of them were elite soldiers. The lowest soldiers were the third rank. Facing ordinary county soldiers and regular troops, they could defeat ten with one.

Even Qin Yuan's several legendary units and epic units have the combat effectiveness of one against a hundred.

This power alone is enough to defeat tens of millions of troops.

When fighting Wuhuan outside the Great Wall, if not for the participation of various forces, Qin Yuan even had the idea to destroy the 2000 million Wuhuan army with his own power!

And Gongsun Fu's army, even if most of them were county soldiers, was not as strong as the Wuhuan cavalry, and it was even less likely that they would be Qin Yuan's opponent.

not to mention.

Qin Yuan also incorporated about 200 million Yellow Turban Army, 200 million government and local troops.

Now the total strength is nearly 600 million!
This number is three times the strength of Shanggu County's guards!
Originally, the government of Shanggu County occupied a large amount of land, ten times that of Pingyun County, and it held a lot of power!

But only a few days have passed, and the situation has reversed.

What made Gongsun Fu most uncomfortable was.

He asked for help from the outside world, but did not receive substantial assistance.

There is no need to say more about the court.

Although many famous generals and elite troops were dispatched, the court's focus was all on the Jizhou battlefield.

According to the news that came back, the battlefield in Jizhou was extremely fierce, and the fight was dire.

Especially the Julu battlefield has opened up a battlefield with more than ten million participants!
And because the Yellow Turban Army continued to grow, the imperial court dispatched troops from various places, and the two sides continued to reinforce Jizhou, and the war conflict became more and more intense!
It can be said that the Jizhou battlefield has become a giant meat grinder, with more than a hundred wars breaking out every day, and countless deaths.

As for the state capitals above, they are also overwhelmed.

The Yellow Turban Rebellion just broke out, and the Yellow Turban Army was everywhere in Guangyang, and even surrounded Ji County, the capital of Youzhou.

Liu Wei, the prefect of Guangyang, and Guo Xun, the governor of Youzhou, even issued multiple orders to the following counties to send troops to rescue the capital of Youzhou.

It is difficult for them to protect themselves, let alone help Shanggu County.

As for the other prefects, even if the Yellow Turban riots within their jurisdiction were not serious and they had the power to suppress them, they still adopted conservative methods instead of helping other counties!

There are even some places that clearly have the strength to completely suppress the Yellow Turbans in the area, but they still allow the Yellow Turbans to wreak havoc.

That's because, after they spent a lot of money to wipe out all the Yellow Turbans, soon after, other Yellow Turbans fled into the territory.

This yellow scarf is like a locust, it cannot be exterminated no matter what.

Later, the government offices in various places basically lay flat.

For the Yellow Turban Army, it is just an appropriate suppression to prevent its rapid development.

As long as it does not threaten the existence of the government, it will generally not be destroyed.

After all, those who are really hurt by the Yellow Turban rampage are firstly the common people at the bottom, and secondly those powerful families!

In addition to the imperial court and the government, the most powerful force against the Yellow Turban Army is the power of the gentry class, which represents the power of the aristocratic family.

Even, because of the name of dealing with the Yellow Turban Army, many gentry classes took the opportunity to recruit troops, expand private soldiers, forge armor, and seize territory.

As a result, the embryonic form of local warlords gradually formed.

The most hopeful Gongsun clan also encountered a lot of troubles.

The Gongsun family is very powerful in Youzhou, and many family members are officials in various places.

But in the same way, the greater the power, the larger the area under its jurisdiction, and almost all places are threatened by the Yellow Turban Army.

Everyone's situation is similar, and it is basically impossible to wait for the support of others.

However, Gongsun Zan, as the captain who suppressed the border, controlled relatively few territories, but had a lot of troops in his hands.

It is the only force that can send troops to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army everywhere.

But because most of its troops are outside the Great Wall, it is very difficult to withdraw now.

Especially when the news of the Yellow Turban Rebellion spread beyond the Great Wall, the foreigners saw that Gongsun Zan intended to shift their focus back to Youzhou, and then coveted the territory occupied by Gongsun Zan.

It is worth mentioning that since Qin Yuan's army withdrew from the battlefield outside the Great Wall.

Wuhuan, Xianbei, Xiongnu, Zhang Chun and Gongsun Zan, the five forces are fighting endlessly in Wuhuan.

Divide the whole Wuhuan territory into six parts!
There is also a land of thousands of miles that Qin Yuan occupied before.

Although most of Qin Yuan's troops had withdrawn, Qin Yuan's strength was there. Even Wuhuan Xin Shanyu, who was in power, did not dare to provoke Qin Yuan again.

Otherwise, the war outside the Great Wall will be even more chaotic.

Gongsun Zan is now facing a dilemma.

If he chooses to withdraw his troops from outside the Great Wall, then these foreign forces will never let go of this opportunity and will definitely launch a counterattack.

Even not only the territory occupied by Gongsun Zan, but also the vast land of Qin Yuan, the aliens have long coveted.

If the army is not withdrawn to Youzhou, most of Youzhou will be captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and Gongsun's power will be greatly reduced.

And missed an opportunity to make great contributions.

This time the Yellow Turban Rebellion seemed to be a crisis, but for many gentry classes and local tyrants, it was an opportunity to grow and develop.

One is to expand one's own private army, territory, influence and so on.

The second is to crusade against the Yellow Turban Army, make meritorious deeds, and be named a marquis and a minister, and you can get a reward from the court, and at least you can get a title.

For Gongsun Zan, this is also a good opportunity for meritorious service and promotion.

It is far from simple to just change the strategic plan and carry out large-scale army transfers.

With regard to the first step of withdrawing troops from outside the Great Wall, the progress was not smooth.

During the months of war outside the Great Wall, the army led by Gongsun Zan fought fiercely with the aliens, and the fight was fierce.

Therefore, even if they hoped to see Gongsun Zan withdraw his troops and annex the territory he occupied, they would never let Gongsun Zan leave so easily, at least they would cause some troubles for Gongsun Zan!
This also greatly affected Gongsun Zan's withdrawal plan.

Not to mention supporting Shanggu County, within a month, all the troops can be separated from the battlefield outside the Great Wall and transferred back to Youzhou, that would be considered good!
But by then, it was too late.

In particular, there is a Qin Yuan in Youzhou.

Now it is just showing its edge, threatening the rule of Shanggu County, and even won [-]% of the territory.

After Shanggu County falls completely, the whole Youzhou will tremble because of Qin Yuan's existence!
Shanggu County is in an emergency, and it is at stake. Not only is Gongsun Fu and others aware of their courage, but it is also known to everyone.

Even if there are 200 million defenders in the city, they cannot be Qin Yuan's opponent!

This is not a formal fight, and Gongsun Fu will fall into a disadvantage in terms of morale once he loses!

Of course, it's not that they are timid, but that the strength of both sides lies there.

No one can save them unless a divine soldier descends from heaven.

In particular, since many days ago, the county city has been attacked by the Yellow Turban Army almost every day.

Even if an army is sent to wipe out the siege army, a new Yellow Turban army will still appear the next day, and the cycle repeats.

Of course, relying on these small-scale Yellow Turbans alone, it is naturally impossible to break through the defense of the county.

It's just that their continuous siege has kept the county in a state of war.

On the one hand, it affects the normal life of the people in the county and the connection with the outside world.

The second is that the teleportation array in the city is affected, and once it enters a state of war, it will automatically shut down, even if the teleportation process is in progress, it will be interrupted directly, which contains a lot of danger.

The third is that the players in the county are greatly affected when they go online and offline. Sometimes they want to go offline but can't log off, and they want to go online again, and the information transmission is also greatly reduced.

In the end, it was Qin Yuan's various armies that successfully took over the remaining counties. Many armies gathered in Juyang, and the news that the soldiers were approaching the county city spread like wildfire, causing the people in the city to be turbulent and the morale of the army to be shaken.

Even a high-ranking person like Gongsun Fu felt that it was impossible to win this war, so how could the low-level army have the confidence.

Especially the court players in the city had no intention of staying when they heard Qin Yuan's army was approaching.

Once the state of war is lifted and the teleportation array can be opened, take the teleportation array and leave immediately!

At this time, not to mention that the transmission price is one gold, it is ten gold, and you have to leave even if you go bankrupt.

Moreover, many of the gentry class and those who shouldered official positions began to relocate with their families.

In the end, it was Gongsun Fu who saw this scene and dispatched troops to block the teleportation array, so that people could only enter and not come out.

At the same time, the gates of the Sifang City were closed, and no one was allowed to leave without his order, and those who violated the order were punished as collaborating with the enemy!
And overnight, the spokesperson of the major families and the high-level players of the player's guild discussed how to resist Qin Yuan's attack!

Until the last moment, Gongsun Fu will never give up.

Anyway, there are still 200 million troops in the city, as well as the [-]-meter city wall relying on the county city, and the city guard!

Even if you can't defeat Qin Yuan's army, you can always defend the city!
