Chapter 614: The Unique General Trait of Gao Shun
September 25, 2017
As soon as the battle commenced, Pan Feng declared that by dusk, not a single Yellow Turban soldier would remain within Guangping City.
His words, filled with the scent of blood, combined with Lu HaiKong's overwhelming aura, gave the impression that Lu HaiKong would launch the most powerful offensive to take Guangping City by nightfall.
The Yellow Turban soldiers' nerves were on edge, and although Bo Cai had tried to calm them, they had not acted irrationally. However, they were all anxiously awaiting the arrival of dusk, or rather, Lu HaiKong's impending attack.
However, when dusk arrived, there was not a hint of movement from Lu HaiKong's side.
As night fell, Lu HaiKong's army remained in the same formation, poised to attack, but there was still no sign of an impending assault.
In this situation, the Yellow Turban soldiers, who had been on edge all day, suddenly relaxed a little.
The relaxation of their spirits was not the worst part; the most critical issue was that they had anticipated Lu HaiKong's attack at dusk and had been holding their breath, waiting to strike him a heavy blow. When Lu HaiKong did not arrive as expected, the situation became somewhat dire.
They had mustered their courage with great difficulty, but now it was dissipating, which was a significant blow to their morale.
However, facing this situation, the Yellow Turbans had no proactive solution and could only watch as Lu HaiKong's army hesitated, appearing unsure whether to attack or not, while they tried to come up with a plan.
The Yellow Turbans' situation was not entirely dire, though. At the very least, after an entire day, the Yellow Turban soldiers' fear of Lu HaiKong had diminished significantly.
Additionally, Bo Cai had quickly responded to Lu HaiKong's strategy of wearing down the troops. His response was simple; he divided the soldiers into shifts to take turns guarding the city walls.
After all, the Yellow Turbans had nothing but soldiers, and they had nearly thirty thousand of them. If it came down to a war of attrition, Bo Cai truly believed that Lu HaiKong could not outlast them in this aspect.
...
On the city wall.
Bo Cai and Zhang Daosheng gathered after dusk, observing Lu HaiKong's army below Guangping City.
"General Bo Cai, do you think Lu HaiKong will attack the city today?"
"It's hard to say, but I've made thorough preparations. The soldiers are taking turns guarding the walls, and I've reinforced the four city gates. Lu HaiKong won't find any openings to exploit, so we're not afraid of his attack whenever it comes!"
As the leader of the Yanzhou bandits, Bo Cai had extensive combat experience. If Lu HaiKong tried to exploit his weaknesses, he would be in for a disappointment.
Zhang Daosheng's restless heart calmed down a little after hearing Bo Cai's response, but he still couldn't find peace.
Just as Bo Cai and Zhang Daosheng were talking, the sun began to set gradually. At this moment, Lu HaiKong's army, which had been quiet until now, suddenly sprang into action, marching towards Guangping City!
Seeing this, Bo Cai and Zhang Daosheng exchanged a glance, a hint of joy appearing on their faces.
"It's finally begun!"
As the battle spirit and joy filled the eyes of Bo Cai and Zhang Daosheng, Lu HaiKong's army, along with Liu Bei's forces, launched a fierce offensive.
Leading the charge in Lu HaiKong's army was Gao Shun's Defense Army.
This army could be considered one of the oldest under Lu HaiKong's command, with most of its members originally from the Second Camp. They were the most loyal and fervent soldiers dedicated to Lu HaiKong.
Every member of the Defense Army had the goal of becoming the sharpest blade in Lu HaiKong's forces. They had trained day after day for years but had rarely had the opportunity to showcase their skills. Now, their moment had come!
"Catapults and crossbows, start firing! Give these guys a warm welcome!"
At Bo Cai's command, the massive war machines on Guangping's city walls began to operate.
It wasn't until they started operating these war machines and prepared to target Lu HaiKong's soldiers that they realized Lu HaiKong's true intention for choosing this moment to attack.
The timing was just right as the sun was setting, and Lu HaiKong's soldiers advanced with the sun at their backs, entering the range of the large war machines. The Yellow Turbans' vision was severely impaired, making it impossible to aim accurately. By the time they could see Lu HaiKong's soldiers clearly, they had already entered a range where the large machines could not attack.
The perfectly timed assault minimized unnecessary casualties among Lu HaiKong's soldiers as they approached the city walls.
Once the Defense Army entered the range where the large machines could not attack, Gao Shun, riding at the forefront, waved his Iron Blood Brew and shouted, "Born of the Yellow Emperor, die for the Yellow Emperor! The spirit of the Defense Army is to die without fear!"
The original spirit of the Second Camp merged with Gao Shun's Defense Army motto.
As Gao Shun shouted these words, five thousand voices echoed simultaneously, reverberating throughout Guangping in an instant. The Immersion Camp, filled with an unstoppable momentum, soared into the sky, revealing Gao Shun's warlord trait for the first time!
In a vague way, it seemed as if an invisible layer covered these five thousand soldiers of the Immersion Camp, shielding them.
Shielded by this seemingly intangible layer, the Immersion Camp, equipped with simple siege weapons, charged straight towards Guangping City.
The Yellow Turban Army on Guangping City, despite their fear of Lu Hai Kong, did not show mercy to the approaching Immersion Camp. At this moment, the Yellow Turban soldiers followed Bo Cai's command, calmly and efficiently repelling the attack.
Various arrows and falling rocks rained down on the Immersion Camp.
Strangely, when these attacks landed on the Immersion Camp, their force seemed to be sucked away, and after several waves of arrows and falling rocks, not a single member of the Immersion Camp was harmed.
This was one of the effects of Gao Shun's warlord trait.
Gao Shun's warlord trait is called Unique Soldier Soul, a very unique trait.
The power of this warlord trait is related to the faith of the soldiers. The stronger their faith, the greater the effect of Gao Shun's trait.
In the 1619th chapter, a mistake-free version!
Unique Soldier Soul (Unique): An advanced warlord trait that unifies the soldier's soul (faith). The more unified the soldiers' souls, the more functions and stronger the effects of the trait.
Activated Effect: Soul Guardian
Soul Guardian: When activated, for half an hour, the damage received by the Immersion Camp will be reduced to one percent of the original.
This is Gao Shun's warlord trait, powerful and very strong, but it has not been fully developed yet, and currently, only the Soul Guardian effect is available.
However, this effect is extremely useful at the moment. After activation, the Immersion Camp became unstoppable as they charged towards the wall.
The basic martial power of the Immersion Camp's soldiers was not particularly strong. The veteran soldiers of the second regiment, who were originally excellent, had mostly been transferred to the Fire Regiment. The remaining soldiers were those with lower innate talent.
Therefore, even after nearly two years, the basic martial power of these second regiment soldiers was only around 35. The new recruits, after just a few months of training, had a martial power ranging from 20 to 25, which was not impressive in terms of numbers.
This was also the reason why the Immersion Camp was inferior to the Elite Guard and Blood Bath Army. However, what difference does it make if their basic martial power is lacking? Once the Unique Soldier Soul was activated, the Immersion Camp's performance was astonishing.
After Gao Shun spent over ten minutes climbing onto the wall of Guangping City, this person who rarely stepped onto the battlefield, drew his Iron Blood Dance, displaying the murderous aura he rarely showed. With the effect of Unique Soldier Soul, he instantly killed a Yellow Turban warlord with an average martial power of 80 who had rushed to stop him, clearing a path for his soldiers to expand the battlefield.
Following Gao Shun's lead, in the next ten minutes, over five thousand soldiers of the Immersion Camp killed over three thousand enemies. In half an hour, they directly stormed the top of the wall, setting a record and achieving a feat that even the most elite Great Han soldiers would find difficult to accomplish!
Witnessing this situation, whether it was the Yellow Turban Army on Guangping City or Liu Bei and Cao Cao below, all were shocked beyond words.
All along, the most powerful force under Lu Hai Kong's command was the cavalry, and Lu Hai Kong himself was from Bingzhou. This gave people the illusion that Lu Hai Kong's strength surpassed that of the cavalry.
It was only after the powerful display of Gao Shun's Immersion Camp that they realized Lu Hai Kong's infantry was equally formidable, not just his cavalry!
However, Liu Bei and Cao Cao had more time to marvel, while Bo Cai and Zhang Daosheng had neither the time nor the mood.
It had been less than half an hour since the battle started, and the enemy had already reached the city wall. If they couldn't push them back, how could they continue the fight?
Subsequently, as Bo Cai's commands were issued one after another, Gao Shun's forces, who had intentionally chosen to attack a less-defended area of Guangping City, faced unprecedented pressure.
The Yellow Turban Army rushed forward relentlessly, willing to pay any price to push Gao Shun's forces off the wall.
This sudden high-pressure situation had already been challenging, and at this moment, the effect of Gao Shun's warlord trait dissipated after half an hour.
To make matters worse, the Immersion Camp, which had suffered minimal casualties during its strong assault on the city wall in the previous half-hour, now faced a devastating blow.
The over one thousand soldiers of the Immersion Camp who had not yet reached the wall bore the brunt of the attack, with numerous soldiers turning into porcupines, their heads smashed.
The once mighty and unstoppable Immersion Camp, within ten minutes, suffered nearly a thousand casualties...
