Chapter 170 - The soldiers are divided into three ways

Guo Jia set fire to the Yellow Turban Army, killing and wounding countless people, and hundreds of thousands of troops lost more than half.

On the hillside in the distance, Cao Cao and Guo Jia looked at the fleeing Yellow Turban Army.

"I didn't expect that there would be a Yuanying True Monarch to break the formation, presumably this person is the legendary true thief head sage and good teacher. Cao Cao said.

Guo Jia chuckled: "Ha! Maybe I did it so hard that I couldn't even bear the way of heaven, leaving people with a glimmer of life." โ€

Suddenly, Guo Jia coughed violently, and Guo Jia hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand, and as a result, his hands were sprayed with blood.

"Fengxiao, are you okay?" Cao Cao hurriedly asked with concern.

"It's okay, cough cough ......" Guo Jia took a pill, and said after his body calmed down: "I know that my body is too deep in the poison, and I don't know how long it can last, so I think of such extreme methods in order to hurry up." โ€

"I know, but Fengxiao, do you really believe me?" Cao Cao asked.

Guo Jia chuckled lightly and said: "I believe not only you, but also myself, when I first saw you, I felt that the legendary nine masters of the great calamity, one of them is none other than you, you are destined to become a powerful existence, I listened to your ambition, I think that only you can create a desirable future for the immortals of the world, I am convinced of this!"

"I'm going to keep moving towards what I've set out. Cao Cao clenched his fists and said with a firm and deep gaze.

"By the way, Fengxiao, what do you think of Liu Bei?" Cao Cao asked.

"Well, he's an extraordinary character, and although he's not as good as you right now, you have to be careful, because maybe he'll be an obstacle in your path in the future. Guo Jia said.

Cao Cao smiled: "Haha! I believe in Fengxiao's vision of people, and at the same time, I also have my pride!"

In the end, the two returned to the camp, and Lu Zhizheng happily celebrated with everyone.

Cao Cao and Liu Bei believed that they could not let these remnants of the Yellow Turbans escape, and both suggested that Lu Zhi continue to pursue, but Lu Zhi disagreed, thinking that the general trend had been decided, and the remnants of the Yellow Turban forces could not become a climate, so they did not need to order a pursuit, but held a feast and set up a banquet to entertain the sergeants.

This time the greatest credit is Guo Jia, Lu Zhi heard Cao Cao say that Guo Jia is not in good health, so he gave Guo Jia a bottle of the best healing elixir for Tianshendan, and promised that when the Yellow Turban Rebellion was completely quelled, he would play in the alliance leader, so that Guo Jia could get the reward he deserved.

There are many discussions about the news of the victory of the conquest army, and many powerful families feel that the general trend has been decided, so at this time they began to join the ranks of the fight against the Yellow Turbans to get a piece of the pie, so the conquest army suddenly got a large degree of supply in a short period of time, from 150,000 troops to 200,000 or 300,000, and gathered in the Changshe, waiting for Lu Zhi and other Zhonglang generals' next instructions.

However, because the conquest army did not pursue, the remnants of the Yellow Turbans were able to survive, and most of them followed Bocai south to Jingbei and joined the Jingbei Yellow Turban forces led by Zhang Mancheng, and some of them fled east to Qingxu and other places with Guan Hai and other generals, and continued to be the party of disaster.

After that, the expeditionary army collected information, and after hearing that Bocai had arrived in Jingbei, they took Bocai as the leader and combined the two Yellow Turban forces in the south and Jingbei into one, reaching more than 200,000 people.

As for the east, Guan Hai, who was sitting in Qingxu, and Cheng Yuanzhi and Deng Mao, who were entrenched in Qingzhou, also accepted part of the remnants of the Yellow Turbans, and their forces were even stronger than before.

Lu Zhi, Zhu Jun and Huangfu Song discussed and decided to prepare for three routes, Lu Zhi continued to go north with 150,000 troops to prepare to storm the Yellow Turban base camp, while Huangfu Song marched east with 50,000 troops to eradicate Bu Ji and other eastern Yellow Turban forces, and Zhu Jun went south with 100,000 troops to cooperate with Liu Biao, the assassin of Jingzhou, to eliminate the Yellow Turban forces in Jingbei.

Cao Cao and his group naturally expressed their willingness to follow Lu Zhi to the north to attack the Yellow Turban base camp, and Liu Bei's three brothers discussed, feeling that going north with Lu Zhi to attack the Yellow Turban base camp is the greatest credit, but there is Long Xiangtian, an old friend who has not seen him in the south, considering that Cao Cao's joining will make it more difficult for them to get credit than before, and now Cao Cao's group is in the limelight, it is better to go south to meet Long Xiangtian.

When Liu Bei told Tai Shici about the idea of going south and invited Tai Shici to join him, Tai Shici had his own ideas, and felt that it would be impossible to gain any credit by continuing to follow Liu Bei and others, so it was better to do it alone, so he refused Liu Bei's invitation, saying that he would go east to help Huangfu Song eliminate the Yellow Turban forces in Qingxu and other places.

After hearing what Tai Shi Ci said, Liu Bei also understood that Tai Shi Ci was no longer a person with the same heart as them, so he had to just forget it.

In the Jingbei region, due to the large number of Yellow Turban soldiers gathered from the north, the Yellow Turban Army in Jingbei suddenly increased to more than 200,000 people, under the absolute number of suppression, Long Xiangtian's means of dividing troops to harass no longer worked, fortunately, Kuai Liang asked Long Xiangtian to bring the army back in time, otherwise the Yellow Turban Army would have been broken one by one.

But even so, Long Xiangtian's 20,000 people were unable to resist the Yellow Turban Army, and after barely supporting it for a few days, they were really powerless, so the whole army had to retreat to the rear, because if they didn't retreat, they would be wiped out by the Yellow Turban Army.

Soon after returning to the main city of Jingzhou, Long Xiangtian learned from Liu Biao that the Expeditionary Army would send troops to cooperate in eliminating the Yellow Turban forces in Jingbei. Because this time it was a cooperation with the imperial court, not a small fight, so Liu Biao ordered Cai Mao to lead an army of 100,000 to Jingbei, and joined forces with the expeditionary army to attack the Yellow Turban Army, and still let Long Xiangtian train with the army.

The Yellow Turban Army in Jingbei found out that the northern expeditionary army was coming, and the Jingzhou army in the south also sent troops to attack, Bocai and Zhang Mancheng discussed countermeasures, and also decided to divide the troops into two ways, one led by Bocai, and went north to set up a formation on the south side of the Tongtian River to prevent the expeditionary army from crossing the river to fight, and Zhang Mancheng led his troops to fight with the Jingzhou army on the outskirts of Wancheng, relying on the geographical advantages of the city, to let the Jingzhou army know the difficulty and retreat.

Bocai led 100,000 Yellow Turban troops to lay heavy defenses on the south side of the Tongtian River, launching an elemental attack, hoping to shoot down the expeditionary army that crossed the river in this weak water. And the conquest army is not vegetarian, some soldiers fight back across the river, and the other part of the people take the warship made by the dragon wood to cross the weak water, the warship has a formation defense, which can resist the attack of most elemental arrows and spells, but too dense blows, it is difficult to ensure that the defense is not broken, once the warship is broken, then the soldiers on the ship will lose protection, fall into the weak water, and will be drowned and dissolved in an instant, but because the battle line is very long, there are many warships crossing the river, and there are still some warships that successfully rushed to the opposite bank, and the soldiers got off the boat, and the defending Yellow Turban soldiers started a fierce white-edged battleใ€‚

Outside Wancheng, the county town of Jingbei, the 100,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng was also confronting the 100,000 Jingzhou Army led by Cai Mao.

The two sides directly launched a fierce battle, and for a while, on the battlefield, the light released by the weapons was shining, all kinds of elemental spells were flying, explosions were heard one after another, the ground was a soldier fighting, and the air was a duel between the generals, and the fight was inextricable.

Because the Yellow Turban Army in Jingbei did not have an advantage in numbers this time, and the Jingzhou Army was already well-equipped and well-trained, no matter how fierce the Yellow Turban soldiers were, they were obviously defeated in the face of the Jingzhou Army, which attacked in an orderly manner and launched an offensive formation in a group of 100 people.

Cai Mao is worthy of being a general under Liu Biao, and he does have a set of leading troops to fight, Long Xiangtian feels that he is really a world of difference compared to Cai Mao.

Zhang Mancheng felt the strength of the Jingzhou army, and in the case of not having an advantage in numbers, it was a great loss to fight against it, so he ordered the army to retreat to Wancheng, preparing to defend Wancheng, and to defend it as an attack, so that the Jingzhou army knew the difficulty and retreated.

And the offensive and defensive battle of crossing the river on the northern front was also in full swing. On the side of the conquest army, many warships were sunk, and countless soldiers died, even so, Zhu Jun was not distressed, and kept ordering the soldiers to attack continuously, which was bound to break this line of defense.

At most of the battle, the losses of the conquest army were not small, countless warships were broken, and countless soldiers fell and died in this weak water, so the originally clear Tongtian River water also began to be dyed with a layer of blood, that is, there were too many victims, and the blood was so thick that the weak water could not be dissolved and disappeared at once, which shows the tragedy of the battle.

Due to the long length of the battle line, some places were broken by the expeditionary army that crossed the river, and these breached areas were used as gaps for the expeditionary army to break through, and warships continued to land here, and the Yellow Turban soldiers began to make a mess.

Liu Bei and other generals also hurriedly rushed along the breach, not looking for others, looking for Bocai, to prevent him from slaughtering the soldiers of the conquest army, Bocai had to fight, so he could not withdraw, so the defense line of the Yellow Turban Army was constantly reduced, and the defeat began to appear.

In the end, a large number of conquest troops began to land on the south bank, although the Yellow Turban Army carried out a very stubborn resistance, but the general trend has gone, originally they went south after a big defeat, for the previous fire still have lingering palpitations, and now in the face of the conquest army, it has long lost its former sharpness, goodbye conquest army soldiers are so fearless to cross the river to attack, not to mention what morale there is. Seeing this situation, Bo Cai sighed and asked the Yellow Turban Army to retreat back to Wancheng, and together with Zhang Mancheng, he prepared to defend Wancheng to the death.

At the same time, the Jingzhou army led by Cai Mao was almost about to surround Wancheng, when it suddenly encountered a surprise attack from the north by Bocai, Cai Mao knew that this was the defeat of Bocai, so he calmly organized his soldiers to counterattack. At this time, the conquest army also came from behind Bocai, and Bocai had no intention of fighting, so he led his troops to retreat to Wancheng.

So, the conquest army and the Jingzhou army began to meet, the two armies were combined, Cai Mao and Zhu Jun met, one was the general of Jingzhou, the other was the official of the imperial court, as Zhu Jun, who was the general of the thief in the Xianhan Dynasty, his status was naturally much higher than Cai Mao, so Cai Mao behaved very much with Zhu Jun, and set up a banquet in the big tent to entertain Zhu Jun and his gang, and exchange information, but what Cai Mao didn't expect was that there were "acquaintances" who were present with Zhu Jun.
