Chapter 137: An Unscientific Scene 《Please Subscribe!!!》

After a day of forced marching, Su Li and the others did not discover any trace of Zhang Bao, and through reports from scouts, there was no trace of enemies within a hundred miles.

Through Ju Shou’s analysis, it was likely that the Yellow Turban vanguard had been wiped out, and Zhang Bao, fearing their strength, had already retreated to defend Julu City.

Everyone set up camp on the spot to rest for the night.

And waited for the subsequent equipment unit to arrive, preparing to attack Julu City.

Well, they were making a surprise attack on Julu, so naturally, they wouldn't just bring these less than one hundred thousand troops to attack a large commandery city.

As early as when the plan was being formulated, Lu Zhi had ordered the nearby commanderies to jointly draw up an equipment unit.

By the time Ju Shou and Pan Feng arrived at Julu Commandery, that equipment unit would bring siege engines and some reinforcements to converge with them.

Nothing special happened that night.

Everyone, including Su Li, slept very soundly.

By the next day.

The equipment unit came to converge.

Su Li finally saw the siege engines that Lu Zhi had specifically ordered to be prepared.

Previously, when the Yellow Turbans came to attack Baiyun Town, they had also used siege engines.

It was just that they were all the most basic siege carts, catapults 800, and the most ordinary scaling ladders.

But this time, they were going to attack a commandery city like Julu City; obviously, they couldn't just use the most basic siege engines.

In order to capture Julu City and completely cut off the retreat of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans, after Lu Zhi arrived in Jizhou, he began to order various commanderies to secretly build a large number of siege engines.

There were higher-level siege towers, ladder carts, catapults, and covered siege wagons, at least ten large siege engines.

Just these large siege engines alone, if players were to build them, the resources spent would be enough to upgrade a territory to a town; it was very astonishing.

"As expected of the famous Confucian general Lu Zhi in Eastern Han history; although he has never shown his face, he has prepared so many siege engines."

"Not to mention anything else, just these siege engines alone, if someone brought a few of these big guys to attack Baiyun Town, I guess I would be feeling a headache." **CHAPTER 282**

Looking at the large siege engines that were comparable to giant beasts, escorted by the equipment unit that had come to converge, Su Li couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion.

"Generals, the equipment unit has arrived; let us start moving!"

Following Ju Shou’s voice (dafj), everyone began to break camp and continue the march.

They had already arrived here; the main force was less than a hundred miles away from Julu City.

Judging by the marching speed of the troops in this world, at most, it would take less than half a day to arrive near Julu City.

Then, set up the formation, attack Julu, and decide the outcome in one battle.

As long as Julu City was taken, the Yellow Turbans going to attack Yecheng would completely lose their retreat and supplies.

At that time, as long as Yecheng was held, the Yellow Turbans in Jizhou would naturally collapse without being attacked.

Carrying this thought, the area within a hundred miles was filled with a murderous aura; hundreds of Han army flags fluttered in the wind, and war horses neighed loudly.

Breaking the Yellow Turban vanguard yesterday had already made the morale of their various units high.

And in this world, morale would greatly affect the combat power of the troops.

Players could also check the morale of various units through the lord panel.

Relative to quantity, relative to the level of the troops,

If the morale was different, one with morale 100, one with morale 50.

Leaving aside the influence of the generals on both sides, then the troops with morale 100 could completely crush the troops with morale 50.

Moreover, if the morale of the troops was too low, not only would they fail to exert their original combat power, but sometimes there would even be phenomena of troops fleeing.

If they were to attack Julu City with the high morale of the Han army now, then the chance of winning should be very high.

However...

Su Li didn't know why, but he suddenly felt that something was wrong in his heart.

Since Zhang Bao had already returned to support Julu, there was no reason for him to let them march all the way to attack Julu City without obstruction.

It was just that after arranging a Yellow Turban vanguard to test their strength yesterday, there had been no movement at all until now.

Neither setting up ambushes nor launching surprise attacks.

This was contrary to reason.

After all, the way of the military lies in deception.

Even if they had discovered through yesterday’s test that their strength was very strong and they were no match in a head-on collision on the plains.

But according to normal logic, they would also set up ambushes along the way to reduce their troops.

In order to gain an advantage when defending the city.

There was absolutely no reason to let them march all the way to attack Julu City without obstruction.

As Zhang Jiao’s younger brother, known as the Earth Duke General, one of the three giants who created the Taiping Dao, Zhang Bao had no reason to make such a low-level mistake.

There must be some reversal in this.

Thinking of this, Su Li began to become cautious, constantly observing the movements around him to prevent any enemy ambushes.

The official road leading to Julu City also had many dense mountains and steep ridges around it; if there were enemies ambushing within them, it would still be very easy to succeed in an ambush.

Observing everywhere.

One hour!

Two hours!

Three hours!

After about three hours or so, Su Li finally discovered something wrong.

It wasn't that there were enemy ambushes.

It was that the environment was wrong.

The location where they had camped before was a total of a little over a hundred miles away from Julu City.

If one were to talk about the straight-line distance, it was even only sixty or seventy miles.

Ordinary people might not be able to see that far.

But a general of Su Li’s level only needed to stand at a commanding height and look from afar to see a blurry shadow of a city.

And judging by their marching speed, it would take at most half a day to arrive near the city.

It stood to reason that now that they had been marching for three or four hours, having covered more than half of the journey, they should be able to see Julu City more clearly.

But Su Li had specifically found a high point to check during the march, originally to pay attention to whether there were any enemy ambushes.

Yet he was surprised to find that the distance between them and Julu City was almost no different from what he had seen before setting out.

Unscientific!

This was absolutely unscientific!

Su Li’s eyes narrowed, and he immediately realized that they might have run into some trouble.

And this trouble had appeared quite mysteriously!
