The next day, after a bloody battle, Li Xiang finally led 20,000 Bingzhou cavalry and successfully fought out of Yecheng.
Zhang Jiao led hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turbans to attack so desperately not just for Ye City. It was even said that Ye City was not important. Zhang Jiao's purpose was just to eliminate the main force of the Han Dynasty in Jizhou.
Therefore, Chi You naturally would not let the Han army in the city escape easily. There is naturally a reason why Li Xiang broke through so smoothly.
First of all, the Han army in Yecheng was still capable of fighting, and Chi You never thought that Li Xiang would break out now.
Secondly, Li Xiang chose to break out at the east gate where the Yellow Turbans have the strongest power. Sometimes the strongest corner is also the weakest corner. People often relax their vigilance in the place where they are strongest.
In the end, Xue Rengui, Guan Zhang and other generals chose to fake a breakout at the west gate to attract the attention of the Yellow Turbans, thereby luring Chi You over. For this reason, Xue Rengui, Zhang Fei and Guan Yu and Chi You fought again after the breakthrough last night.
In fact, during the last battle between Guan Yu and Chi You, Ping Shan had already loosened under Chi You's pressure. After the battle between several people, Guan Yu experienced a moment of enlightenment and finally achieved a breakthrough in basic force, reaching 103 points.
This time, Li Xiang led the cavalry out of the city and only brought General Xing Tian with him. As for Xue Rengui, he led the remaining 5,000 Bingzhou cavalry to stay in Ye City.
When Lu Zhi asked Xue Rengui to stay and guard Yecheng, Li Xiang thought about it carefully and agreed. It was not that Li Xiang did not need Xue Rengui, but that Yecheng needed Xue Rengui's help more than Li Xiang.
Li Xiang was really afraid that Chi You would capture Yecheng without Xue Rengui's help. Failure in the mission issued to Li Xiang by the system would be a minor matter. If the situation became out of control, it would be a big trouble.
After all, although the Han Dynasty that lost the strength of Yecheng still had eight passes in Luoyang to defend, it had no more troops to send. Today, the Han Dynasty has already used all the power it can muster, and only some newly recruited soldiers are left.
The new recruits. Although the Han Dynasty's background is far from being comparable to that of the Yellow Turbans, but it takes time to transform the background into real strength.
As for Li Xiang, even without Xue Rengui and with the system, Li Xiang is not short of generals who can help him lead the army. If not, he can just continue to summon one from the system. Even if he cannot summon someone as strong as Xue Rengui, he can still summon more generals.
Just a few are enough. If the quality is not enough, I will make up for it with quantity.
In this battle, Li Xiang not only didn't take Xue Rengui with him, he didn't even take Wei Xiaokuan with him. On the one hand, he was worried that Wei Xiaokuan would not be taken care of during the breakout, and on the other hand, it was also to allow him and Xue Rengui to take care of each other. Or
It is said that Li Xiang took precautions against Liu Bei and others to prevent him from having any inappropriate thoughts after Li Xiang left.
Spreading out the map, Li Xiang took a long breath. This time he could only rely on himself for the time being.
The reason why Li Xiang did not summon him immediately was that, on the one hand, the need was not urgent yet, and on the other hand, he naturally wanted to exercise his abilities. After all, he had never truly led an army on his own.
Today, in Wei County, which is close to Sili, the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans are fighting a bloody battle with Yecheng as the center. In other words, only a few major cities in Wei County are still in the hands of the Han Dynasty. As for other counties and counties in Jizhou, even if they are still in their hands,
The resistance of the Yellow Turbans is only the remnant power of some powerful families and some Han officials. I am afraid that most of these counties are ruled by the Yellow Turbans. If the main force of the Yellow Turbans were not still in Yecheng, those people would not be able to hold on now.
After thinking about it, Li Xiang decided to go to a county town to replenish his supplies and protect himself first. Then he immediately went to find a way to meet Dong Zhuo.
Li Xiang was still very interested in this person who could cause great changes in the late Han Dynasty. On the other hand, Li Xiang also wanted to prevent Dong Zhuo from rushing into Ye City and being surrounded by Chi You. In the current situation, Dong Zhuo's power
Still extremely important.
Observing the map carefully, Li Xiang quickly chose his target. Cheng'an is located in the center of Wei County and Zhangjiao's base camp, Julu County. Although it is not a strategic location for military strategists, it is still very convenient for transporting grain and grass.
Moreover, the direction Li Xiang is heading now is exactly the direction of Cheng'an. Li Xiang decided that after capturing Cheng'an, he would immediately turn back to the southwest and never give the Yellow Turbans a chance to react.
In the evening, the twilight has become blurry, and the sky filled with sunset glow has gradually become dull and colorless.
Under Cheng'an City, a group of Yellow Turban soldiers were standing guard at the city gate, chatting casually with each other. No one believed that someone would attack here. In the eyes of these Yellow Turban soldiers, Jizhou has become a
conquered their world.
Suddenly, there was a loud sound of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking. Anyone with rich experience in the military would definitely understand that the one who could make such a noise must be the cavalry, and it was a large group of cavalry.
In less than a moment, countless knights in black clothes and black armor appeared in front of the yellow scarves. The leader was wearing a dragon-tiger roaring armor, holding a Tyrant Moon-Shattering Spear, and a horse on his hip.
Qianli Liangqu showed extraordinary prowess and prowess. Following closely behind him was a huge man with a huge back and a bear-like waist holding a giant axe. His aura was intimidating. These two people were none other than Li Xiang and Xing Tian.
It was only then that the scattered yellow turban soldiers on the city wall finally reacted.
"The enemy is attacking."
"The enemy is attacking."
The frightened Yellow Turban soldiers inside and outside the city gate immediately rushed forward and tried to close the city gate. However, the cavalry charge arrived in an instant, and how could the Yellow Turban soldiers, who reacted so slowly, have time to complete all this.
"kill."
Li Xiang roared, holding a spear, and rushed straight into the city gate. With a swing of the spear, three gun flowers bloomed quietly, and the three yellow scarf soldiers clutched their throats and fell in a pool of blood.
Speaking of which, this was Li Xiang's first time in the true sense of the word. In addition, even the last time he entered Yecheng, Li Xiang only moved forward safely under the protection of the army, without any need for him to do it himself.
Compared to Li Xiang, Xing Tian behind him was even more violent. With a casual sweep of his axe, countless yellow scarf soldiers flew out.
With Li Xiang and Xing Tian taking the lead in the charge, the Yellow Turbans at the city gate were soon defeated, and Li Xiang completely invaded the city.
Although the Yellow Turbans seem to have almost occupied Jizhou, the main force is under Yecheng. Therefore, there are only less than 10,000 Yellow Turbans in Cheng'an City. How can it be that 20,000 are like wolves and tigers in Bingzhou and wolves are riding on them?
The opponents were slaughtered by the Bingzhou Army in less than half an hour. Even an unknown Yellow Turban Xiaoqushuai who was guarding the place was stabbed by Li Xiang under his horse before the battle with Li Xiang was even five, and he died on the spot.
