Chapter 334: A Great Victory

This battle has been fought until now, and even the ordinary people of Yang's County already know that the Yellow Turban Army is over. Therefore, the whole city attacked, the people in the city, the hundreds of officers and soldiers of the government, as well as the young Zhuang who were organized, as well as those who were large and small forces in the city, even ordinary people, they all rushed out of the city gate with the military horses, and followed the pursuing military horses to wave their flags and shout, so as to strengthen the prestige of the soldiers and civilians of Yang County. When it came to the end, even some of the women ran out of the city.

This is a real city-wide attack.

This kind of situation is actually a very normal situation.

You must know that the ordinary people now, whether they are men, women or children, they all hate the Yellow Turban Army to the core, and everyone shouts and beats them.

The harm caused by the Yellow Turban Army to the people is too great, and the hatred for the Yellow Turban Army is deep in the bone marrow, so that the people are eager to drink their blood and eat their flesh.

This Yang's County, the people here finally saw the hope of continuing to survive and live, this is unprovoked, these Yellow Turban Army just can't look down on them, and now they only have a bite to eat, they want to rob it. In this way, it is false to say that you don't hate those Yellow Turbans.

It is precisely because of the hatred, even the hatred of the Yellow Turbans, that outweighs the fear of them. Therefore, when they attacked the city that day, the whole city was resisting bravely, and now, they are defeated, then even a child of about ten years old will follow and beat the water dogs.

That's right, now the military horses in Yang's County are beating the water dogs.

The fleeing Yellow Turban Army does have 20,000 or 30,000 military horses, but what can this be? In terms of momentum, the momentum created by the military and civilians of Yangshi County is already much greater than theirs.

Liu Xian, Huang Wudie, Wang Bao, and Huang Zhong, the three hundred cavalry who pursued later, led by them, pursued all the way behind the Yellow Turban Army, but whenever they saw the Yellow Turban Army that was still intending to counterattack, they rushed over first, killed them, and scattered them.

The Yellow Turban Army was defeated like a mountain, and this rout really couldn't be stopped. In this way, the soldiers and civilians who only went out of the city later to chase them out of the city basically did not encounter much resistance. Even if there were a few Yellow Turban soldiers who were unwilling and were still resisting, they would only be swept up by those military horses and beaten to death with sticks.

Sometimes, even the Yellow Turban soldiers who completely collapsed and crawled on the ground to surrender were killed and injured by some resentful people.

The people of Yang's County, they also need catharsis, which was suddenly attacked by tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, which made them frightened, emotionally depressed, and feared all day long. Now that they see the Yellow Turban soldiers who dare not resist, where can they still endure it? Justified or not, when he saw those Yellow Turban soldiers, he rushed up and beat them up.

Of course, the officers and soldiers have also been shouting, asking the people to arrest those yellow turban soldiers as much as possible, first tie them up with ropes, watch them, and wait for Liu Xian's disposal.

When the people heard Liu Xian's request, most of them would obey the order, even if they needed to vent, and after venting, they would all help capture the Yellow Turban captives.

The military horses of Yangshi County pursued all the way for more than 20 miles until they lost the trace of the Yellow Turban Army, so Liu Xian ordered the whole army to stop continuing the pursuit.

After stopping the pursuit, Liu Xian immediately asked Huang Zhong's father and daughter, as well as Wang Bao, to lead a certain number of men and horses to set up checkpoint roadblocks on some major traffic arteries. This was mainly to guard against the possibility of a counterattack by the Yellow Turbans.

Liu Xian estimated that many people and horses of the Yellow Turban Army had fled, and it was estimated that there were still 10,000 or 20,000 horses. If they find that the military horses of Yang County are no longer pursuing them, they may also be able to collect those military horses that have fled. One or two thousand military horses did have enough troops to carry out a counterattack on themselves. Liu Xian didn't want such a good situation, and he was overturned by those defeated Yellow Turban Army on his deathbed.

Sending people to some major traffic arteries to set up checkpoint barricades, on the one hand, is to guard against the return of the defeated Yellow Turban army, and the main thing is to close the door and fight the dogs.

Guarding those key roads, the Yellow Turban soldiers who fled in chaos during the night, after dawn, they must find a way back to Montenegro along the way. At this time, the men and horses who stayed behind in those transportation arteries could intercept them and arrest them.

Now that they have come, they will no longer be allowed to flee back.

For the sake of the safety of the general public, Liu Xian also ordered that the men and horses who would follow the pursuit of the Yellow Turban rout, escort the Yellow Turban captives they captured back to the city first, and everyone should go back to rest first, and then dispatch the army and horses after dawn tomorrow to conduct an organized search and arrest of the area dozens of miles west of Yangshi County, and capture as many Yellow Turban defeated soldiers as possible who fled to the mountains and forests.

But it is also required that when arresting those defeated Yellow Turban soldiers, you must pay attention to the safety of your own people and be careful.

The night passed, and at dawn the next day, military horses were dispatched one after another to search and arrest the mountains and forests in the west direction of the entire city.

Before dark, Liu Xian ordered the search to be terminated and began to count the gains and losses of this battle.

Of course, this day also cleaned up the battlefield by the way, and the soldiers on both sides who died were dealt with separately.

The corpses of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were gathered together and burned with fire. For the corpses of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army, there is no need to dig a special pit for burial, it is easier to dispose of a fire.

According to statistics, tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers were killed.

Among them, thousands of people were killed or injured during their siege, and most of them died under the walls of Yang County. It can also be said that the materials prepared by Yang County to defend the city played a major role, and most of the Yellow Turban soldiers died under the rolling stones, bows and arrows, and gold juice.

On the contrary, later Liu Xian led his army to attack them, defeated them, caused their chain rout, and then in the process of the rout of the entire Yellow Turban Army behind, the Yellow Turban Army killed was not much, only about three or four thousand people.

Coupled with the 5,000 men and horses of the Yellow Turban Army who crossed the river to attack Liulin Village earlier, the total casualties of the Yellow Turban Army were also about 10,000.

There were more Yellow Turban soldiers captured, and according to rough statistics, including that part of the wounded soldiers, there were about 20,000 in total. In other words, the total strength of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army that invaded Yangshi County this time was about 50,000, and the one they eventually escaped was about 20,000, which may be less than 20,000 horses.

In addition to these, a large number of weapons and other items were obtained, but the quality of these weapons was average, and the production process was relatively rough. Many of them are still some general agricultural tools.

But these are not important, as long as it is iron, it can be collected and rebuilt. Liu Xian has his own blacksmith workshop.

As for other miscellaneous items, there are countless miscellaneous items, of course, there is not much food, after all, the Yellow Turban Army itself is short of food, and the purpose of their attack on Yang's County is to loot grain, and it is impossible for them to carry too much food, and it is impossible for them to bring gold to be thieves.

Of the 20,000 or so Yellow Turban captives, more than 1,000 of them were seriously injured, and it is really hard to say how many of these 1,000 people could be cured in the end, and even if their injuries were healed and they were still alive, they were all disabled. Liu Xian didn't pay too much attention to the more than 1,000 seriously injured Yellow Turban soldiers, at most he asked some Lang Zhong to take a look at them, treat their wounds, and prescribe a little medicine, whether they died or lived depended on their own lives.

In addition, there were two or three thousand lightly wounded Yellow Turban soldiers, and the same was true of these, to treat their wounds and give them some medicine.

Liu Xian can do this to them, this is already for the sake of humanitarianism, otherwise, who cares about the life and death of these thieves? Now the military horses of Yang County can't wait to kill them.

Sinners, these are sinners, and their destination is only the secret camp of the guilty army. Of course, now they are not qualified to be included in the secret camp criminal army, because they still have to be interrogated and examined one by one, and they have to be reformed to a certain extent. The main thing is that they must pass the test of labor in the upcoming city-building movement.

This time, Liu Xian had the absolute initiative in how to deal with the 20,000 or so Yellow Turban soldiers he had captured, and he could interrogate and examine them according to his own ideas, so that they would be subjected to a stricter and more severe assessment.

These Yellow Turban captives were different from the Yellow Turban soldiers that Zhang Ning had taken in earlier, and they were different from the Quyang Yellow Turban captives that they got from Huangfu Song later. Because these current Yellow Turban captives are their own military horses here, and they have been defeated and captured.

Liu Xian did not ask the government above to send troops, so that the Yellow Turban prisoners he captured, then Liu Xian could completely deal with them independently.

Of course, perhaps the government above, or the imperial court, will feel that it would be a little inappropriate for the 20,000 Yellow Turban captives to be handled by Liu Xian himself. will suspect that Liu Xian has some bad intentions.

But it doesn't matter if Liu Xian is there, this time, these Yellow Turban captives will definitely not be handed over. Whether the shuttle-shaped castle in Liulin Village can be built smoothly and quickly, and whether the city wall of Yangshi County can be strengthened and heightened, it depends on more than 20,000 Yellow Turban captives.

As long as this castle is built, then Liu Xian will also have a private fortress of his own in this world, and he will no longer have to worry about being afraid of the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army or even other military horses attacking him.

What's more, Liu Xian also has a grandiose excuse. Liu Mansion in Liulin Village can recruit more caravan guards.

Nominally, we're not an army, we're not private soldiers, we're just caravan guards recruited for the safety of merchants.

Anyway, no matter what, Liu Xian decided to let go and speed up his development.

In addition, the casualties on their own side were also counted.

Relatively speaking, the casualties on their own side are really negligible, a total of more than 1,000 casualties, and of these 1,000 people, the real sacrifices are about 5 or 600 people. And not all of them were officers and soldiers, and many of them were ordinary people.

When Liu Xian attacked the 1,000 men and horses in Luo City in Liulin Village earlier, he suffered one or two hundred casualties. Later, Yang County, mainly when the Yellow Turban Army attacked the city, sacrificed three or four hundred people. Later, the Yellow Turbans were defeated, and in the pursuit of the Yellow Turbans, hundreds of casualties were inflicted. Of course, most of them were injuries, not real sacrifices.

Five or six hundred people were killed.

These sacrificed people, they all sacrificed to defend Liulin Village, Yangshi County, and protect their relatives. Therefore, it is natural to be buried well.

Not only did they bury them, but Liu Xian also deliberately asked people to erect a monument for them. Erecting a monument for the sacrificed soldiers is also a kind of thing that can unite the people, and Liu Xian will naturally not miss it.

Liu Xian simply asked people to find a mountain about ten miles away from Liulin Village in the west of Liulin Village, find a feng shui treasure place, and gather these sacrificed people together for burial. There were also those soldiers who died earlier, including those who were originally killed by the Yellow Turban thieves for guarding Liulin Village, and those who were later killed by Dong Min, and the caravan guards who died in the battle with Zhang Chun and Qiu Liju at Shimen Pass in Youzhou, all of them were buried on the mountain ridge a few miles west of Liulin Village. Then a large stone monument was erected for them, and then the names of those who died were carved as much as possible, and when and for what battle they died.

In this way, it is used to commemorate the sacrifices they made for Liulin Village and Yangshi County, so that every person can remember their merits.

This time, after defeating the tens of thousands of Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army, counting the casualties and losses, and handling various affairs, Liu Xian specially let the soldiers and civilians of Yangshi County and Liulin Village celebrate for three days.
