Twenty thousand Bingzhou cavalry, under the command of Li Xiang, quietly left the area around Yecheng and headed straight for Julu County to the north of Wei County.
Li Xiang took Feng Yi and his 5,000 cavalry as the vanguard to help Li Xiang's army resolve some minor obstacles on the road ahead.
Feng Yi is worthy of being ranked seventh among the twenty-eight generals of Emperor Guangwu Yuntai. Several counties with few troops stationed along the way were directly defeated by Feng Yi, which provided supplements for Li Xiang's army.
Source of food and grass.
…
After a long journey, under the careful command of Li Xiang, the 20,000 Bingzhou cavalry slaughtered all the small groups of Yellow Turbans they encountered along the way and arrived at the foot of Julu City silently.
"Lord, the Yellow Turban defense in Julu City is now relaxed. If our army attacks at night, it will not be difficult to capture Julu City by surprise." Su Lie said to Li Xiang with excitement on his face.
"Okay, Su Lie, you will be responsible for leading the attack at midnight." Li Xiang looked at Julu City not far away and said to Su Lie calmly.
"That's all, we've got it right, Xing Tian will go with you." Li Xiang thought for a while and added.
Su Lie was overjoyed when he heard that Xingtian was helping him. As the son of Bingzhou veteran Su Yong, Su Lie naturally knew how terrifying Xingtian was as the last trump card that Li Xiang always relied on.
Li Xiang originally didn't want to attack Julu so soon, but during this period, Li Xiang attacked Zhao County and Julu County more than ten times. Even the Yellow Turban grain transport troops were ambushed by Li Xiang.
Three times, but the main force of the Yellow Turbans in Yecheng remained unmoved and continued to attack Yecheng as usual without any sign of dividing their forces.
However, considering that the Yellow Turbans had a master of military skills like Chi You, he was naturally able to see through Li Xiang's plan. When Li Xiang did not touch the Yellow Turbans' pain point, Chi You was naturally able to bear not sending troops.
Li Xiang was helpless, so he decided to take the risk and directly attack Zhang Jiao's hometown. Even his hometown was raided by him, so Li Xiang didn't believe that Zhang Jiao could still sit still.
As Zhang Jiao's hometown and the place where Zhang Jiao raised his troops, Julu is naturally not like other counties where there are only two to three thousand troops to guard it.
According to the report from Fushuifang, there are still 30,000 Yellow Turban soldiers in Julu City at this time, and there are also six Yellow Turban Qu divisions Zhangba, Pinghan, Dahong, Sili, Yuancheng and Li Damu here. It can be seen that Julu is here
Zhang Jiao's position in his heart must be very important.
Who would have thought that when the Han officers and soldiers were completely suppressed by the Yellow Turbans, someone would attack the Yellow Turban headquarters. Therefore, although there were three thousand Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city wall, no one took it seriously. At this midnight, everyone relied on each other.
Then he fell asleep quietly.
Su Lie and Xing Tian quietly climbed up the Julu City Wall with more than a dozen elites. Everything went smoothly and no one noticed.
After silently eliminating the enemies on a small section of the city wall, Su Lie immediately sent out a signal and summoned the army outside the city to board the city.
Several ladders were quietly erected outside the city. After a while, hundreds of people climbed onto the city wall, and there were more Han troops waiting to board the city behind.
"It's almost time, General Xing Tian. You should lead more than a hundred soldiers immediately, go down to the city, open the city gate, and welcome the army into the city. This place will be left to me to guard." Su Lie said to Xing Tian in as low a voice as possible.
Before the attack, Li Xiang had already told Xing Tian to obey Su Lie's orders, so Xing Tian would naturally not refute Su Lie's request.
Xing Tian was still so taciturn and didn't say a word. He just nodded and went straight forward to kill.
"Enemy attack."
"Enemy attack."
"Enemy attack."
After Xing Tian started to attack, the Yellow Turbans finally noticed something strange. The Yellow Turban soldiers everywhere on the city wall woke up one after another and surrounded Xing Tian and Su Lie.
But at this point, how can these yellow turban soldiers have the power to recover?
Su Lie held the golden dragon spear and stabbed it into the abdomen of a yellow turban soldier. Then he directly picked up the unlucky yellow turban soldier and swung it with all his strength, knocking away more than a dozen people behind him.
Named Yellow Turban Soldier.
Afterwards, the golden dragon spear in Su Lie's hand danced wildly in the sky, and no one could get close to Su Lie in a short period of time.
Although the hundreds of Bingzhou troops behind Su Lie had dismounted their war horses, their bravery was not diminished at all. They also formed formations to resist the Yellow Turban Army's attack.
Xing Tian's attack at the city gate was even more ferocious. With a swing of Pangu's ax, several members of the Yellow Turban Army were directly cut in half. Along the way, Xing Tian didn't have a single complete corpse under his command.
The Yellow Turbans in front of Xing Tian all had faces full of fear, their hands were trembling, and they could hardly hold the weapons in their hands.
I don’t know who took the lead. After a long time, there was a clang of weapons falling to the ground. Although the noise on the battlefield could be heard all the time, this sound was particularly clear. The other Yellow Turban Army also followed the same example, throwing away their weapons casually.
He ran away in a panic.
Xingtian naturally had no intention of paying attention to these little minions and walked directly to his destination. After a while, the closed gate of Julu City was slowly opened.
"What's going on? What happened?" Li Damu, who hurriedly put on his armor, stopped a yellow scarf soldier and asked sharply.
"Master Qu, something bad has happened. The Han army has invaded." The soldier replied hurriedly.
Li Damu's mind was suddenly confused and he didn't know what to do, but he still managed to calm down. Julu was the hometown of the great sage Zhang Jiao and the place where he raised his troops, and it was also the headquarters of the Yellow Turbans. How could he lose it again.
If Julu City is really lost, I'm afraid Li Damu will become the sinner of the Yellow Turbans.
Thinking of this, Li Damu hurriedly summoned his personal guards and rushed to the city gate.
Soon, Li Damu arrived close to the city gate. At the same time, he also met Zhangba, Pinghan, Dahong, Sili, and Yuancheng who had rushed over after receiving the news.
With Su Lie, the top famous general of the Tang Dynasty, how could the Yellow Turbans on top of the city expel the Bingzhou troops who climbed onto the Julu city wall? As a result, more and more Bingzhou troops climbed onto the city wall. Look at this,
The collapse of the Julu City wall has become inevitable.
What was even worse was that the gate of Julu City had been opened by Xing Tian. Li Xiang, who had been waiting outside the city, immediately took the lead and led the knights outside the city to rush straight into Julu City.
"What should I do?" Zhangba, who looked panicked, asked the other people anxiously.
"At this point, we can only take advantage of the fact that there are not many Han troops entering the city and drive them out regardless of casualties." Li Damu, who had regained some sense, said firmly.
Several people looked at each other and understood that there was probably no other way now. They could only sigh together and said helplessly, "That's the only way."
Following the orders given by a few people, tens of thousands of yellow turban soldiers rushed towards the Han army that had just entered the city gate and wall.
