Before even one of the embankments of the moat had been filled in, thousands of soldiers from the Qingzhou Army rushed up to the northern city wall.
Liu Xiang couldn't figure out whether Le Jin was too fierce or the Yellow Turban Army was too useless.
The drawbridge was lowered, the city gate was opened, and the northern city wall was completely occupied. Waiting for the cavalry to rush in and capture the city, it was a matter of course. The first climb was achieved. Coke was not satisfied yet, and wanted to take advantage of the situation to occupy the east and west walls.
This is because you don't know how to behave. You ascended to the north first. The soldiers of the front army and the left army admired their bravery, but you want to occupy the friendly war zone, and you look down on people, right?
Are you looking down on people?
This is a slap in the face!
Is either Zhang Liao or Guan Yu a good-tempered person?
Filled with rage.
"It's your small local army's turn to be arrogant. Brothers, stop filling the river and climbing the city with flying ladders. If we let others occupy our siege area, we will lose face! People will say that the left army is useless
, you can’t even compare to the local army, are you willing to do so?”
As soon as Zhang Liao said this, the Zuo army exploded immediately.
They formed the army late and have no impressive achievements. Let alone compare with the Chinese army, the two armies at the front and rear are much stronger than them. They are both one of the four armies. Who is willing to be overwhelmed by others?
I have been holding my breath for a long time.
Now even the small local army has to step on their heads.
This is intolerable!
"Climb the city! Climb the city!"
"Okay, Zhang will personally lead the team to climb the city!"
Everyone has trench bridges and flying ladders, but their bravery can still compete with local legions?
impossible!
Zhang Liao led his men across the moat, and the soldiers of the left army rushed towards the city with roars.
On the Qianjun side, Guan Yu snorted coldly. With his proud temperament, how could he endure being overpowered by others?
The former army has the strongest record among the four armies. Every one of the soldiers brought out by Guan Yu is very proud. Do they need the local army to help them seize the city?
This is humiliating!
A moment of carelessness allowed you to take the lead, and now you are so complacent that you dare to come to our war zone to show off your power?
When it comes to bravery, who is afraid of whom?
Before the Yellow Turban Army in the city could recover, the front army and the left army had also climbed onto the city wall. They were defeated on three sides, so how could they fight?
Facing the trebuchet, they were at a loss to deal with it. In a moment of panic, the enemy seized the fighter plane and broke through the city wall. Several commanders had never seen such a ferocious enemy. Their claws were numb and they were so flustered that they didn't know how to fight back.
The Yellow Turban soldiers, who had no military discipline to speak of, were even more chaotic like ants on a hot pot.
The last straw for them was the cavalry entering the city.
Le's attack on the city wall was too sudden, and Jia Qi had not had time to reach Jia. When the north gate was opened, Xiao Qi and Hu Qi were still hurriedly donning their armor, and they launched the charge a quarter of an hour late.
Fortunately, there was no delay.
The city gate has not changed hands.
Wearing armor and cavalry that looked like iron cans, they led two thousand armored cavalry and two thousand light cavalry from the Hu Cavalry Battalion. They rushed into the city smoothly, stepping on the enemy's corpses and walking along the streets. They were invincible and unstoppable.
.
The peak cavalry, which only appeared on the stage of history a hundred years later, is even more invincible and shocking in this era.
The man was tall and the horse was big, and he was covered in iron armor. With the trembling of the ground, he rushed over with a rumble. He could not be hurt by a shot, nor could he be killed.
Who is not afraid?
The Yellow Turban Army's fighting spirit was at its lowest point in an instant, and they had no other thoughts except turning around and running away.
Fortunately, the enemy did not occupy the south gate. Tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans swarmed in, wanting to leave the city as soon as possible.
The shortcomings of non-superiority broke out completely, and no one could maintain order. They pushed and trampled on each other, killed each other, and even organized firefights in order to seize the road.
The Anping Army exerted pressure on the outside, and the defeated Yellow Turban soldiers fought among themselves at the south gate, just to fight for a way out of the city.
One moment they were allies fighting the enemy side by side, but at this moment they spared no effort and stabbed the friendly forces with all their strength. The battle was extremely fierce. At the south gate, there were blood and bodies on the rafts and pillows in a mess.
But when the yellow scarf soldiers, covered in blood, rushed out of Tan County, the cavalry also followed.
Xiaoqi and Huqi pursued them, and Yueqi outflanked them and completely defeated the Yellow Turbans of the East China Sea five miles south of Tan County.
Now that the fight has begun, there is no reason to stop. Why not kill the enemy completely and wait for them to turn around and kill themselves?
War has no room for mercy.
Liu Xiang did not have the habit of tying the hands and feet of his soldiers in battle. This was not a child's play. On the battlefield, life and death only depended on a moment. To ask the soldiers to be merciful was to joke with their lives.
This is a life-and-death battle. Once a war breaks out, you must use the fastest method to kill the enemy.
Other thoughts can be put aside after victory.
It's just that this victory was unexpectedly fast. It ended in one morning, and the moat was not even filled in. The siege was won.
Therefore, why did the Yellow Turbans of the East China Sea not surrender or negotiate, but were determined to defend the city?
What gives them the illusion that they can defeat themselves?
Liu Xiang didn't think about this problem until he entered the city.
Is it because I never thought about fighting them desperately before, and the Zuo Army only fought a few small-scale field battles?
Or did Zhang Liao never attack the city, giving them the illusion that they could defend the city?
Very confused.
I wanted to ask, but no one could answer. The three great canal commanders of the Yellow Turbans in the East China Sea were all killed by the formation.
There were nearly 80,000 people in the entire army. Four to five thousand were killed while defending the city. Nearly 20,000 people were killed in fighting at the south gate. Thousands of people were killed in fighting in the streets and streets. Outside the city, they were routed by cavalry. They chased and killed one person.
Thousands of dollars.
In total, more than 35,000 people were killed, nearly 40,000 were captured, and 3000 to 5,000 people fled, mostly towards the south.
The battle was won, and the cavalry did not pursue him.
Originally I wanted to let them go to strengthen the Southern Yellow Turbans, but now only a few thousand people went south, bringing the terrifying legend of the Anping Army to the Xiapi Yellow Turbans. Don't scare them away. In the end, they took advantage of Yuan Shao, which would be disgusting.
Xun Chen wanted to solve this problem for Liu Xiang, so he sent an envoy to Xiapi Huangjin.
"Youruo, please rest. The Yellow Turbans do not have a rule of not killing the envoys when two armies are fighting. It is too risky." Liu Xiang felt that it was unnecessary and the risk for these last Yellow Turbans was not worth it.
The Xiapi Yellow Turbans are already the last powerful Yellow Turban Army. They are just an alliance of bandits under the banner of the Yellow Turbans.
It has been more than eight years since Zhang Jiao raised his troops. The Yellow Turbans have experienced ups and downs, and are finally about to retire from the stage of history.
At noon today, we received a report of the battle in Hedong. The Baibo Yellow Turbans were completely wiped out, and Yan Rou occupied the entire Hedong County.
The Liangzhou army increased its troops on the left by Fengyi, led by Niu Fu. He had 40,000 troops stationed on the east bank of the Yellow River.
On the south bank of the Yellow River, Dong Yue's troops, who were originally stationed west of Hangu Pass, retreated to Fenglingdu, with their backs to the Qinling Mountains, and joined forces with Duan Xuan to guard the gateway to Guanzhong.
Dong Zhuo's 70,000-strong army was outside, leaving only Lu Bu's more than 10,000 Bingzhou Army and more than 20,000 troops under Liu Ai's command around Chang'an.
Liu Ai is now Zongzheng of the Han Dynasty, but he will eventually side with the nobles, and he chooses the camp of Hanchen.
Needless to say, Lu Bu specializes in killing his adoptive father. There is also his fellow Bingzhou fellow Wang Yun in Chang'an. How can he still live in peace?
