Chapter 3: The Brave General's Display of Prowess
Although he had obtained the top strategist of the three countries, Qin Lan was already unable to chat with Guo Jia and immediately pulled his legs outwards, setting up Guo Jia as the military strategist of Xianyang City on the light screen of the government office.
At the critical moment, Guo Jia immediately put away his smile. As an NPC, he had his own way of knowing the intelligence of the city. He furrowed his brow and pondered for a moment before following Qin Lan all the way to the city wall. There, a fierce battle was about to break out.
The Yellow Turbans' war horn has sounded, and the large troops of Yellow Turban soldiers are rushing towards Xianyang City under the shouts of their respective leaders. The distance of two or three kilometers is at most a ten-minute charge to the city.
"My lord, this passive defense is very disadvantageous for us. Please let General Xiahou Yuan lead some infantry out of the city to engage in battle."
Going out of the city? Previously, when Jiang Wei went out to battle, Qin Lan still thought he was foolish, but even Guo Jia said so at that time, Qin Lan suddenly felt like he had neglected something. Although he claimed to be a Three Kingdoms expert, this was a post-mutation Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms, no longer the world he knew. Or should he listen to his strategist's advice? Qin Lan would never doubt whether Guo Jia had any intention of harming him, a famous general who opened up a path for another famous general, absolutely loyal.
"Everything will be arranged by the military advisor." Qin Lan thought for only a minute before making up her mind. This city was just starting to develop and had already been attacked with such intensity right after its protection period, which was clearly unbalanced. Even if there were variations, the game wouldn't put players in a dead-end situation, would it? So, there must be something he overlooked, and that something was the key to making both sides' strength comparable.
"Xiahou Yuan!" Guo Jia waved his hand at Xiahou Yuan, who was guarding the gate below the city wall. "The lord has given orders for you to lead over a hundred infantrymen out of the city immediately to engage in battle and guard the city gate."
"Alright, listen up!! Kids, follow me!"
Xiahou Yuan only took away 300 volunteer soldiers, he had a command rating of 35 points, according to the calculation method of Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms, he could lead at most 17,500 troops. The troop strength is calculated in another way, for example, civilian workers, volunteer soldiers, and scouts are counted as one unit with one point of troop strength, long spear soldiers, knife shield soldiers, and archers are counted as one unit with two points of troop strength, light cavalry soldiers are counted as one unit with three points of troop strength, iron cavalry soldiers are counted as six points, bed crossbows are counted as five points, siege ram carts are counted as ten points, and catapults are counted as eight points.
According to this, Xiahou Yuan can effectively lead 17,500 righteous soldiers. However, there are not so many people in Xiangyang City now, and the military advisor only allowed him to bring more than a hundred infantrymen out of the city to fight.
Fortunately, Jiang Wei only took away the well-trained cavalry, and more than a dozen newly recruited cavalrymen were left behind. When Xiahou Yuan passed by one of them, he easily pulled him off his horse, got on himself, and then snatched the big knife from the hands of the halberd soldiers, and led the troops out of the city with ease.
A thousand meters away, a surging Yellow Turban ocean, countless roars, directly drowned out the arrow tower's near shot. This wave of shooting may have caused more casualties than before, but falling into the yellow ocean, it didn't even stir up a single ripple. The Yellow Turbans continued to charge forward with mad howls.
"Alright guys, follow me! Let's show these useless fools some color!!"
Facing such a large army, Huang Kexia Houyuan actually didn't have any fear at all, and with a haha laugh, he patted his horse and charged forward first.
Military strategist's plan, reduce enemy army speed!!! Launch!!! As the name suggests, reducing enemy army speed means lowering the movement speed of all soldiers in the enemy army. So, Qin Lan on the city wall saw it very clearly, and in an instant, the surging Yellow Turban angry sea at the front seemed to suddenly turn into a slow-motion movie, everything slowed down.
This was because Xiahou Yuan's strength was limited, and the scope of his influence was also limited. As soon as the Yellow Turbans at the front slowed down, the troops behind them who were not affected immediately charged forward. In an instant, several thousand people were trampled to death... The Yellow Turban army's formation suddenly fell into chaos. At this moment, Xiahou Yuan had already rushed to the front, his large knife dancing in the air. As he galloped forward, heads flew towards the sky, and no one could stop Xiahou Yuan's advance. He alone charged left and right through the army, as if entering a territory without people. Seeing his majesty at this moment, Qin Lan finally understood what it meant to be a famous general.
The leader of the Yellow Turbans, Yan Zheng, let out a scornful laugh. He had no intention of going forward to fight Xiahou Yuan. Even if you're showing off your strength now, my army is numerous enough to exhaust you to death. How much physical strength do you have and how many people can you kill? However, the next moment, his laughter turned into shock.
Martial General Skill, Fissure Fury Slash!!
Xiahou Yuan charged too deep, and his warhorse was killed by the Yellow Turbans. He leapt off the horse's back, his large knife flashing horizontally as he hacked down at the ground with a loud whoosh. Qin Lan stood on high ground, watching as Xiahou Yuan's furious slash split open a long gash in the earth over a hundred meters away. The enemy soldiers within that range were either killed or wounded, countless limbs and bodies flying everywhere, blood splattering wildly.
It's too powerful!!!! Qin Lan finally knows what she has been neglecting.
Or it's because this game is still Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms, so he subconsciously still retains the impression of Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms. However, in fact, this variant of Hot Blooded Three Kingdoms not only incorporates Records of the Three Kingdoms but also incorporates Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon, those shocking and tear-jerking techniques from the Three Kingdoms are now vividly appearing before Qin Lan's eyes. What's more, the famous generals have been greatly strengthened, now Qin Lan sees Xiahou Yuan, almost thinking he is that powerful Xiahou Yuan in Dynasty Warriors.
Now, even if the Musou skill from Dynasty Warriors appeared, Qin Lan probably wouldn't be too surprised. He finally understood why Jiang Wei would lead his soldiers out of the city to battle, because in his eyes, those small soldiers weren't even worth killing. Just Huang Zhong's yellow card was already so impressive, what kind of surprise would Jiang Wei's red card bring him????
Xiahou Yuan got up from the ground, turned around and swung his long knife. The knife energy was all over the place, and more than ten meters of Yellow Turban soldiers fell to the ground, without any resistance. Qin Lan saw it very clearly, that was the knife energy. It seemed that Xiahou Yuan's passive knife skill referred to this. But I don't know how long Xiahou Yuan's physical strength can last.
At that moment, hundreds of righteous soldiers following Xiahou Yuan also rushed up. They let out a loud roar and although they were holding simple weapons, their movements were extremely uniform. The Yellow Turbans in front of them had no resistance at all and were knocked flying. With one roar, they advanced several steps, and hundreds of Yellow Turbans fell down. Another roar, another advance of several steps, and hundreds more Yellow Turbans fell down... Qin Lan watched with wide eyes, could righteous soldiers also have such a sharp performance?
Or is this the role of a commander-in-chief?
