Chapter 404: Game Patch

Just when Ouyang Shuo was planning to take up the post of Protectorate, the battle situation in the southeast also entered a critical period.

On July 2nd, Zhanlang contacted more than 20 territories in Jianye District and formed an allied army of 120,000 troops. They brazenly crossed the border of Southern Anhui Province, and their soldiers pointed directly at Fengyang, the old nest of the Huangchao Rebel Army. city.

The mysterious middle-aged general in Chixue County finally officially came out to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Allied Army. Under his command, the allied forces avoided reality, and in the early morning of July 8th, they suddenly appeared at the foot of Fengyang City.

Huang Chao's rebel army was caught off guard.

Drawing lessons from the previous Yellow Turban Uprising Army, Huang Chao did not attack in all directions. Of the 110,000 troops, only 60,000 troops were sent south to launch the Southern Expedition. The remaining 50,000 troops were all stationed in Fengyang City.

Compared with sect leaders like Hong Xiuquan and Zhang Jiao, rebel leaders like Huang Chao and Chen Sheng were weaker in instigating refugees.

The difference in the number of troops of the four major uprising army groups is vividly reflected.

The Yellow Turbans that were wiped out once reached 150,000 troops. After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied Zhen'an County and Guilin County, the total force did not decrease but increased, reaching a terrifying 180,000. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's rebel army has only 120,000. And Huang Chao is even worse, with only a poor army of 110,000.

Even so, the Jianye Allied Army's attempt to attack a fortified city guarded by a 50,000-strong army with a force of 120,000 was horrendous, and people couldn't help sweating.

No one thought that the allied forces would be able to take Fengyang City smoothly.

You know, Huang Chao is a complete lunatic. Historically, when food and grass were cut off, Huang Chao brazenly carried out large-scale and organized cannibalism in the city, using human flesh as food.

Such an act is simply appalling, and it is unique in the history of the world.

In the first three days of the war, this was indeed the case. Although the Allied forces launched continuous onslaughts, they had little effect.

Fengyang City remained motionless.

Just when everyone thought that the Allied forces were bound to fall into the sand this time, a turning point suddenly appeared.

What broke the balance of the war was the [Red Blood Army] that the wolf warriors worked hard and trained secretly.

[Red Blood Army] There is only one division for the time being, and all the soldiers are generals who have been transferred from retired soldiers. They are all equipped with chain mail, with strict discipline and orderly combat.

The onslaught in the first three days was just a cover-up, the purpose was to confuse Huang Chao's army and make them relax their vigilance.

In the early morning of the fourth day, the [Red Blood Army], which had been hidden all this time, was finally dispatched.

During the first three days of probing, the middle-aged general had thoroughly figured out the law of Fengyang City's defense and found the weakest point of the city's defense.

[Red Blood Army] is attacking this most deadly point.

The mighty army, with a neat formation, braved the rain of arrows, and quickly approached the city wall. The three-day attack is not useless, at least the moat outside the city has been completely filled.

The army walked on the ground like walking on the ground, and after paying a very small price, they soon came to the foot of the city wall.

At the foot of the city wall, the next behavior of the [Red Blood Army] soldiers was shocking.

I saw the soldiers at the front, one row after another, throwing neatly cut stones from the storage bag according to the pre-drilled routine.

Huge boulders rumbled, and soon they were paved on the ground at the foot of the city wall.

Immediately afterwards, the soldiers of the first battalion withdrew and replaced with soldiers of the other battalion. Then they stacked the stones in the storage bag to the second floor.

Just like that, the third floor, the fourth floor, the fifth floor...

In less than half an hour, the [Red Blood Army] braved the rain of arrows, with steely discipline and fearless spirit of sacrifice, and built a step made entirely of stones at the foot of the city wall.

The entire step, extending from the bottom of the city wall to the top of the city wall, is like a ladder in the sky.

The Huangchao rebel army on the city wall was dumbfounded. With their poor cognition, how to understand such a dreamlike construction process is as magical as a fairy's magic.

Even the Allies were equally stunned.

In this way, [Red Blood Army] used the player's storage bag to create a brand new siege strategy.

As soon as it appeared, it surprised the world.

Obviously, this tactic was designed a long time ago, just to catch people by surprise.

Others were surprised, [Red Blood Army] would not be in a daze. Teams of soldiers, stepping on the steps, easily attacked the city wall.

The next battle can be imagined.

In the city defense battle, once a point is captured, it will lead to a comprehensive collapse. With the [Red Blood Army] displaying its might, the morale of the allied forces is high, and the victory of Fengyang City is just around the corner.

After a whole morning of hard work, Fengyang City was officially broken!

Huang Chao is worthy of being a well-known defector, with exceptionally rich experience in escaping. As early as when the [Red Blood Army] attacked the city wall, he led an army and abandoned the city.

As long as the Southern Expedition Army is still there, Huang Chao will still have a comeback day.

Before leaving, Huang Chao ordered people to burn all the grain and grass in the city.

Because it was a labor expedition, the supply of food and grass for the allied army could not be guaranteed. Seeing that Huang Chao led his troops to escape, the allied army had no choice but to give up and give up their plan to continue the pursuit. After wreaking havoc in Fengyang City, they led their troops to retreat.

As for Fengyang City, it will be sold to [Wannan League].

Although it has not been fully accomplished, the [Red Blood Army] of Wolf Warriors has become popular in China overnight.

When the lords got the news, they suddenly realized, and sighed again and again, it turns out that such a siege tactic is still possible. From this point of view, adventure players have become even more popular.

Immediately, there were many lords who were ambitious and prepared to form a similar player army in the territory. Of course, it is almost impossible to be as brave and disciplined as the [Red Blood Army].

Unfortunately, a system announcement completely shattered the illusions of the lords.

"System announcement: In view of the fact that players use the advantages of storage bags or channel communication to play an extraordinary role in the war, which seriously affects the balance of the war, the game will be updated with a temporary patch."

...

"System announcement: During the war, players are prohibited from using storage bags, from using all communication channels such as guild channels, alliance channels, and national channels, and from logging into forums."

...

As soon as the announcement came out, the players were in an uproar.

Zhan Lang and his [Red Blood Army] are truly famous. It is the only one in the world that can allow the mighty God Gaia to temporarily update the game patch since the game server was launched.

I have to say, cattle, really cattle.

Compared with the adventurous players who watched the excitement, the lord players seemed a bit resentful.

As soon as the patch comes out, God Gaia completely eliminates the advantage of players in the war. Such tactics, as soon as they appeared, disappeared immediately, which is really unprecedented.

I have to say, it's a pity.

Gaia did really well this time. Not only are players prohibited from using storage bags and channel communications, even the forums are blocked. If you say so, in the future on the battlefield, players are no different from NPCs.

The only difference is that after the player dies, he can be reincarnated. It's a pity that the harsh death penalty, even reincarnation, is no different from dying in battle once.

When Ouyang Shuo heard the system announcement, his eyes were complicated and his expression was inexplicable.

When the tactics of the [Red Blood Army] were made public, Ouyang Shuo had already expected such an ending.

This series of actions is almost a replica of the previous life.

No matter who is the first to think of this tactic, Gaia will release a patch in time to plug this loophole.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo was not surprised at all.

His rebirth changed some things. At the same time, there are also some things that continue tenaciously according to its established track. Even Ouyang Shuo couldn't change it.

Presumably, when Wolf Warrior designed this tactic, he was prepared in his heart.

Therefore, he will use this trump card in the most critical battle.

Similarly, the wolf warriors are also richly rewarded. Relying on the meritorious service obtained by destroying the Huangchao uprising army, Zhanlang finally surpassed Lord Chunshen and was the first to be promoted to the third-class Marquis.

The advancement of Chixue County is just around the corner.

At the same time, it also means that the fourth battle is about to be triggered.

The patch released by Gaia will definitely have a profound impact on future territorial wars. Any lord with a little knowledge can think that this patch does more than just put an end to exaggerated tactics.

Some details on the battlefield will also change accordingly.

Just like before, Ouyang Shuo, including Di Chen and the others, used storage pouches to transport a small amount of siege equipment. Even such little tricks were banned altogether.

And Ouyang Shuo's tactics in the Battle of Muye will also become a swan song.

In addition, the ban on the channel will affect the communication on the battlefield.

In the battle of Lianzhou, the Yanhuang League used the alliance channel to realize cross-regional real-time communication. Such a scenario will no longer be possible in future wars.

The only way is to honestly establish a messenger system.

At this time, the hummingbird network established by Shanhai City is extremely precious.

In the future, similar communication networks will definitely be excavated by the lords. After all, the creatures in the game are much richer and more magical than the real world.

In addition to hummingbirds, it can also be regular carrier pigeons, or even insects, mice and all magical little creatures. Isn't the little black bird in Chiyou City just another living example? !

According to Gaia's logic, there will be less and less means for players to cheat in future wars. Just like the current mail system, it might be banned by Gaia at some point in the future.

War will become closer and closer to reality.

Whether it is the lord or the general in command, there will be more and more factors to consider.

The simplest thing is just a logistical support, which can cause headaches for the army. In ancient times, logistics was the key to the success or failure of a war, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was the lifeline.

A series of adjustments will follow.

Whoever can adapt to the rules set by Gaia sooner will stand out!
