Zhang Liang asked the army to regroup, and then sent people to check the damage.

Because of the large number of people, it took nearly an hour to complete the investigation, and finally Huang Ye came to Zhang Liang with a very ugly face.

Zhang Liang calmed his face and said coldly, "Say." ”

Huang Ye said in a deep voice, "The casualties are relatively large, and the shield troops have lost nearly two hundred. ”

"What?" When Zhang Liang heard this number, he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Because although the shieldmen are extremely defensive, they are attacked by stones, and they fall from a height.

In the case of gravitational acceleration, how can the force generated be resisted by the flesh and blood under the shield?

"Go on." Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said slowly.

Huang Ye continued, "The losses of the archers are less, almost around fifty. But the cavalry just... ”

Huang Ye stopped again when he said this, but saw Zhang Liang's angry blushing expression.

Said slowly: "Because this attack is to capture the mountain, it is the most unfavorable combat method for cavalry attacks. The Yuan army ordered some of them to be condescending and throw stones on the hillside, so that the cavalry suffered heavy losses before they could reach them. Although in the end the enemy on the top of the hill was destroyed, the cavalry lost more than five hundred. In addition, there were two hundred pikemen, five heavy cavalry, forty chariots, thirty catapults, and ten siege ladders. In addition, there were as many as 1,000 soldiers who could not fight because they were wounded."

Huang Ye was worried that Zhang Liang would take his anger out on himself because of his report.

Because he knew that Zhang Liang didn't like him, he was likely to take this opportunity to clean himself up.

In fact, Huang Ye also counted some people, that is, the hundred or so people who were responsible for exploring the path at the beginning.

"What?" After Zhang Liang saw Huang Ye finish the loss in one breath, he was directly so angry that he fainted.

Then he was woken up by Huang Ye, Zhang Liang didn't expect him to be so careless.

He should have noticed the strange when the hundred or so soldiers were chaotically distributed in his army.

It's just that it's useless to say anything now, and there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

These troops that Zhang Liang lost could completely deal with princes of forces like Gongsun Zhan.

Of course, the Gongsun Chan mentioned here refers to the kind of heroes who are loyal to the country and vow to live and die with Youzhou.

And he found that after this battle, the morale of his own team was not very high.

Although they wiped out thousands of each other's men, they themselves lost less than a thousand, which looked like a big victory.

But they were not fools, and they could see that, with the exception of a very small number of men in soldiers' uniforms, the vast majority were helpless civilians.

It can be seen that this is not Yuan Shao's elite troops, not even an army, but only a rabble.

But it was this rabble that caused casualties among the human army that boasted of being invincible all over the world.

They thought that if they fought with open swords and guns, they would only need to send 200 men to kill all these enemy troops.

But the reality now is that they have some casualties.

Although it was a casualty, it did not hurt their bones or muscles.

But Yuan Shao's casualties can't even be called fur.

So in their first confrontation with Yuan Shao, they fell into a disadvantage.

Zhang Liang knew that now was not the time to regret it, and the top priority now was to destroy all of Yuan Shao's power and let him disappear from this world.

Although this small defeat will become a stain on Zhang Liang's expedition.

But as long as he emerges victorious, no one will care about this defeat of his.

Because in the end, it was he Zhang Liang who won, and the process of the war is always written by the victor.

He can make the people trumpet that Yuan Shao is a despicable villain who does not dare to confront his army head-on, which will only make these petty tricks that cannot be put on the table.

And in the end, he eliminated Yuan Shao, proving that his army was invincible, and Yuan Shao's army was vulnerable.

Thinking of this, Zhang Liang took a deep breath and said to the people below.

"What do you have to be sad about? As long as we eliminate Yuan Shao, this defeat is nothing. Take up the weapon in your hand and stick it into the one you hate in your heart. Come, tell me, who is that man? ”

"Yuan Shao! Yuan Shao! Everyone below said in unison.

Zhang Liang nodded and said, "Then what are you waiting for, target, Jizhou City!" ”

Subsequently, everyone regrouped and embarked on the journey of attacking Jizhou again.

In fact, there is another piece of intelligence that Huang Ye didn't say just now, that is, the loss of the general level.

Generals, generals combined, the losses were almost more than fifty.

It's just that it doesn't make sense to say these things now, if Yuan Shao can be eliminated, then these losses will be worth it.

And in Jizhou, Xue Yun's army has also set up a position.

He didn't intend to rely on the walls for defense in the first place.

Because that is the countermeasure that will only appear when the gap between the two sides is very large, and the weaker side will appear.

Xue Yun's army was not much different from Zhang Liang's army, and it had not yet reached the point of vulnerability.

If Xue Yun chooses to defend the city, then he will already lose in terms of momentum.

Furthermore, trebuchets exist to attack the city walls.

If you don't dispose of the opponent's trebuchet, the siege ladder will be disposed of.

The motionless city wall became a target, and only when the two sides fought together, these behemoths were useless.

Even if you can't beat it in the end and have to defend the city wall, you have to clean up these behemoths.

Therefore, Xue Yun sent all the troops out of the city, looking like he was going to fight a decisive battle with the Yellow Turban Army.

The fifty chariots under his command were all lined up and placed at the front.

Their class of troops is not much different from Zhang Liang's, the only thing missing is the heavy armored cavalry.

Because this class is the real trump card of the Yellow Turban Army, it has never appeared on the battlefield before. Even when attacking Yizhou, it was not used.

Therefore, the other princes, including Xue Yun, did not know about the existence of the heavy armored cavalry.

Xue Yun stood on the city tower, looked into the distance, and saw a horse running from a distance.

He was a scout sent by Xue Yun to the valley to investigate the battle situation for him.

It's just that this scout didn't tell Xue Yun about the battle, but dismounted, knelt directly on his knees towards the valley, and smashed his head on the ground.

This man used this method to tell everyone that the brothers who were responsible for the ambush of the Yellow Turbans were all wiped out, and none of them survived.

When everyone understood the scout's move, their hearts were not happy.

So from Yan Liang and Zhang He to ordinary soldiers, they all learned the method of scouting and saw off the first batch of sacrificed warriors.

Xue Yun also bent down deeply on the city tower, and it took almost ten seconds before he straightened his waist.

Finally, when he saw the crowd in the distance, Xue Yun knew that they were finally here.

Then he said to the soldiers below, "Our thousands of brothers have completed their task, and the next step is up to us." Brothers, are you afraid? ”

"Don't be afraid! Unafraid! The voices of the crowd resounded in the sky.

Until the end, the Yellow Turban Army appeared at a position of about 100 meters from them and stopped, and a big battle between the two sides was about to break out.
