Chapter 206 Lost four cities in a row! The eve of the war!

Gongsun Zan's army did not follow the routine, which not only severely damaged the players' coalition, but also disrupted the deployment of the players' coalition.

Even Qin Yuan was greatly affected.

"What a big trouble!"

Qin Yuan couldn't help but feel a headache when he looked at the information reported from the front line.

I originally thought that it would allow the players to unite their forces to resist Gongsun Zan's army and buy him some time.

However, the cavalry led by Gongsun Zan directly crossed the player's defense area and sneaked into Pingyun County silently.

Moreover, with its fast movement speed, it has hidden its whereabouts, making it impossible to know where this army is.

Even if the spies were dispatched and discovered the enemy, by the time they returned to report, the cavalry would have been hundreds of miles away.

"Information from players."

"A total of three armies were attacked last night, and they were all on the way to the frontline city!"

"The three waves of attacks all ended in a disastrous defeat for the players, with the loss of more than 100,000 combatants, including 50,000 advanced elite units that have been transferred!"

Qin Yuan murmured.

He took a look at the number of vacant spots on the tiger talisman and was able to know how many of the transferred troops were lost.

The cavalry in these three sneak attacks were all Youzhou surprise cavalry, numbering about 180,000.

The battle was led by Gongsun Yue, Gongsun Fan and others.

But the most important thing is that Gongsun Zan himself has not been exposed.

"Lord, the enemy dares to bypass the city and enter the Pingyun County area!"

"As long as we block all the passages, we can surround them!"

"At that time, the enemy will inevitably be cornered when facing encirclement and logistical support from all sides!"

Chai Wanqiang said.

It has to be said that Gongsun Zan's clever strategy achieved astonishing results and caught the player alliance by surprise.

But there are many disadvantages, that is, once their escape route is cut off, they will definitely die.

In ancient wars, the attacking party often faced the situation of attacking the city.

It's not that you can't get around this city.

But once you cross the city and enter the enemy's rear, it is equivalent to handing your back to the enemy, and you will easily be flanked by both front and rear.

In addition, the logistics supply line is a lifeline, and it is also an important part that affects the outcome of the war.

Once it is interrupted, the consequences are unimaginable.

"If it were an ordinary army, it might be possible to do this."

"But since Gongsun Zan dares to lead his army into Pingyun County, he must be fully confident!"

"According to speculation, the number of cavalry entering Pingyun County is definitely not less than 200,000!"

"Two hundred thousand cavalry! Even if an encirclement is formed, it won't be a matter of minutes for them to break through!"

"Besides, I guess Gongsun Zan is eager for us to leave the city and fight them!"

Qin Yuan shook his head.

Blockade of enemy forces is simply impractical.

What's more, it's a cavalry that can move at high speed.

Unless they can lead more cavalry with greater combat effectiveness than them to fight against the opponent.

As for cutting off the enemy's life supply line.

Qin Yuan has also considered it.

But it is not realistic to implement.

Because Gongsun Zan probably never thought about using his own supply line.

There are so many villages, towns and cities in Pingyun County. Except for Pingyun County and the city guarded by the player's coalition forces, which other city can stop the attack of 200,000 troops?

Although cavalry is not good at attacking cities.

However, when the strength of the army reaches a certain level, it will not be easy to conquer a city.

In the cities occupied by Qin Yuan, except for Pingyun County, the garrison troops of other cities ranged from ten thousand to three to five thousand.

As for the players' coalition forces, except for the frontline troops and a city close to the county that serves as a temporary headquarters, which are heavily guarded, the number of defenders in the other cities is even smaller, probably not even 5,000.

That is to say.

As long as Gongsun Zan wanted to, he could capture most of the cities at any time, not to mention some villages and towns.

Just as Qin Yuan expected.

The next day, Qin Yuan received news that four cities had been lost.

The location of these four cities is also very clever. If you look at the map, you can find that these four cities are located in the southeast, northwest and four directions of Pingyun County.

At first glance, it looks like the Qingfeng Village and the player's coalition forces are surrounded.

It even declared that as long as Gongsun Zan's army wanted to, they could attack any city.

Four cities were lost, which was almost one-tenth of the territory.

However, the blow and impact on the morale of the rebels was very large.

Among these four cities, three belong to the player coalition and one belongs to Qin Yuan.

The nearest city is less than a hundred kilometers away from Pingyun County.

At the same time, in addition to these cities, some armies deployed by guilds to deploy troops were attacked during the march.

Gongsun Zan's army seemed to be equipped with satellite radar, and any movement of the army could not escape their eyes.

Once you leave the city, you will be attacked by cavalry.

Even some players who occupied villages and towns were also raided by Youzhou's sudden cavalry.

On this day, Pingyun County lost four cities, countless villages and towns, and suffered more than 50,000 casualties!

As for the player alliance, they were even more frightened. They were so frightened that they hid in the city and did not dare to leave.

The problem they faced at this time was not only the 200,000 powerful foreign enemies, but also internal spies, which completely exposed their whereabouts to the enemy.

Every move you make will be seen by the enemy.

On the player coalition side, people are even more panicked and their morale has been hit hard.

Because they found that conventional fighting methods seemed unable to deal with Gongsun Zan's cavalry.

The enemy clearly possesses unparalleled combat power, but they have been adopting guerrilla tactics, harassing the cities and armies of all parties, and then encroaching on them step by step. They even mobilized public opinion and focused on attacking people's hearts, making the players' coalition feel desperate.

They even took advantage of the cavalry to wreak havoc on the Pingyun Plain. Any army that dared to show up would inevitably be attacked by Youzhou's sudden cavalry.

The players were even beaten to the point of cowering inside the city, not daring to leave. They were also worried about being attacked by the enemy.

But if it continues, we can only sit back and wait for death.

It has to be said that Gongsun Zan used 200,000 cavalry to complete the blockade of the major cities in Pingyun County. This strategy was undoubtedly successful.

Even Qin Yuan did not dare to send the army out easily.

Wait until the third day.

Luoxing City in the southernmost part of Pingyun County was attacked by the imperial army.

After only holding on for a long time, Falling Star City was breached, and all 30,000 soldiers in the city were wiped out.

In fact, when Falling Star City was attacked, the top brass of the players' alliance received the news, but they had no way to do it, and they couldn't even provide support.

We can only watch the fall of Falling Star City.

Once support is provided, the army will inevitably encounter a surprise attack on the march, and the losses will only be greater.

According to the news sent back, there are approximately 300,000 troops attacking Falling Star City this time.

Among them, one hundred thousand were elite archers belonging to Gongsun Zan, and the other two hundred thousand were players from all over the world.

This is not the player power in Pingyun County.

It is an army of players gathered from all over Shanggu County.

Youzhou has released a large-scale bandit suppression mission. If you encircle and suppress the rebels in Pingyun County, you will receive a lot of money and meritorious rewards.

Those with the top ten meritorious deeds will be awarded the title of General against Bandits by the imperial court.

Although it is the lowest title of general, it is very valuable and is much more powerful than the general profession.

This is an official position conferred by the imperial court. It will be recognized wherever it is placed, and the hidden benefits it brings are countless.

This undoubtedly attracted the participation of a large number of player guilds.
