Chapter 50: The Battle Situation is Clear and Difficult to Change

Although every siege ended in failure, Dong Zhuo did not give up.

Moreover, Dong Zhuo also sent people to other cities to recruit new soldiers, and used them to consume the Yellow Turban Army.

Dong Zhuo didn't take human life seriously, he wanted to see how much fire oil and rolling wood the Yellow Turban Army could have.

When the Yellow Turban Army consumed all these things, it was time for him to kill the giant deer and capture Zhang Jiao alive.

Under Dong Zhuo's siege regardless of the cost of casualties, the fire oil and rocks prepared by the Yellow Turban Army were consumed faster and faster.

Zhou Cang was originally estimated to last for half a month, but now it can only last for ten days at most.

Although the rate of consumption of strategic materials such as fire oil was higher than expected, Zhang Jiao was not worried.

In the past few days, Zhang Jiao personally climbed the city wall every day, watching the Han army attacking the city fall under the city wall one by one, and estimating how many men and horses were still in Dong Zhuo's hands.

Although the Han army with strong bows and crossbows can also threaten the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall, as a besieging party, even if the combat power of the Han army is higher than that of the Yellow Turban Army, the battle losses of the Han army are still higher than that of the Yellow Turban Army.

For such a siege battle, Zhao Hui was not very interested, and showed his head on the city wall a little every day, and then quietly returned to the school field to practice his Mo knife technique.

The hundred-man team occasionally came to the city walls to help, but most of the time it was mainly training.

……

After Huangfu Song and Zhu Yu learned that Lu Zhi was escorted to Luoyang, they were also speeding up the progress of exterminating the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army.

After Zhu Yu was defeated by Bocai last time, there were several battles between the two sides, and the two sides won and lost each other, but they did not let the other party break their bones.

Cao Cao, who was idle at home and specialized in gnawing at the elderly, also became a cavalry lieutenant under the door of his father Cao Song, and led 5,000 Han troops to join the great cause of conquering the Yellow Turban Army.

Cao Cao, who always offended people during his political career, gave up his literature and joined the army this time obviously to show what he had learned in his life.

Liu Bei, who was intercepted by Zhao Hui, also entered the battlefield of Yuzhou after a slight delay of some time.

After learning that Lu Zhi was exempted and was going to be escorted to Luoyang, Liu Bei immediately took Guan Zhang to guard the road that Lu Zhi had to pass through, and had a close meeting with his mentor Lu Zhi.

As a famous Confucian, Lu Zhi worshipped him at the beginning, and there were 500 disciples who listened to his lectures.

I also have an impression of Liu Bei and Lu Zhi, but it's not a good impression, and Gongsun Chan is classified as a bad student by Lu Zhi, and he belongs to the kind of person who is out of sight and out of mind.

It's just that to Lu Zhi's surprise, it seems that the bad student who was thought to have no future at the beginning seems to be mixing very well now.

Liu Bei is now carrying more than 2,000 elite soldiers behind him, and on the left and right sides are the majestic Guan Yu Zhang Fei, and there are less than 100 people escorting Lu Zhi, so he can only stop and let Liu Bei and Lu Zhi recognize each other.

Liu Bei took this opportunity to tell Lu Zhi about his breaking of the Youzhou Yellow Turban and the rescue of Kong Rong in Beihai.

Lu Zhi sighed and told Liu Bei what he had experienced.

Liu Bei was about to hijack the prisoner's car and release Lu Zhi, which made Lu Zhi very moved.

But Lu Zhi didn't think about escaping at all, and stopped Liu Bei.

After this encounter and exchange on the road, the relationship between master and apprentice has risen to several levels.

Liu Bei was directly promoted from Lu Zhi's hundreds of registered disciples to a personal disciple.

Lu Zhi's disciple, after King Jing of Zhongshan, these two signboards, Liu Bei must hold them tightly in his hands.

Bidding farewell to Lu Zhi, Liu Bei took Guan Zhangkai to the main battlefield in Yuzhou.

With the addition of Liu Bei, Cao Cao and others, the life of the Yingchuan Yellow Turban Army became more and more difficult.

The pressure rose sharply, and Bo Cai's strategic materials in Yingchuan had already consumed seventy-seven eighty-eight.

In the face of Zhu Huangfusong's siege, Yingchuan was already in danger and could be broken by the Han army at any time.

In desperation, Bo Cai could only lead the army to retreat to Changshe, but he didn't know that this road was deliberately left for him by Huangfu Song.

Seeing that Bocai entered the urn, Huangfu Song Zhu followed behind with a large army, and asked each soldier to carry a bundle of hay that night to raid the Yellow Turban Army camp.

Although this place is dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is surrounded by grass and trees.

With Huangfu Song's order, bundles of burning hay were thrown into the Yellow Turban Army camp.

In just a moment, the entire Yellow Turban Army camp was covered in flames and could not be extinguished at all, so Bo Cai could only escape from the camp with the chaotic Yellow Turban Army.

But Huangfu Song's army was already guarding outside, and the Yellow Turban Army, which was like a headless fly, happened to crash headlong.

But they were not the opponents of the Han army at all, and the Han army, which had been prepared for a long time, easily harvested the lives of the Yellow Turban Army that ran out.

Zhang Bao and Huang Long saw that there was a fire on the side of Changshe, and hurriedly led the Yellow Turban Army to come to support.

However, the two were ambushed by Cao Cao and Sun Jian respectively on the way.

In this dark night, the Yellow Turban Army was ambushed halfway, and immediately fled in panic.

Even if Zhang Bao Huanglong ordered the escapees to be killed, it would be difficult to recover the defeat.

And Huang Long was directly encountered by Sun Jian, allowing Sun Jian to stab him to death.

Zhang Bao was a little luckier, he didn't bump into Cao Cao, and luckily escaped with a little remnant soldiers.

Most of the Yellow Turban Army was killed by Cao Cao and Sun Jian, and the other half fled and surrendered, which became the credit of Cao Cao and Sun Jian.

And the Yellow Turban Army on Bocai's side ended up even worse, with less than one in ten escaping.

Many people were killed by the Han army, or directly burned to death by fire, and those who surrendered were also killed by Zhu Yu in the night.

Bocai was not spared and died in the chaos.

Overnight, the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan was wiped out.

In the next two days, after sweeping away the remnants of the Yellow Turban remnants in Yingchuan, Huang Pu Song and Zhu Yu's soldiers were divided into two routes.

Zhu Yu took Sun Jian to the south, to exterminate Zhang Mancheng, who was in chaos in Nanyang.

Huangfu Song took Cao Cao to Guangzong to prepare to attack Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao, who had fled.

Giant deer!

Zhang Jiao received the news and his face turned blue.

I thought that the current battle situation was already biased in favor of the Yellow Turban Army.

Unexpectedly, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse, and all the Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan was wiped out overnight.

The Yellow Turban Army in Yingchuan was exterminated, and the blow to the Yellow Turban Army was huge, far from being comparable to Qingzhou Youzhou.

Now in the northern region, the large-scale Yellow Turban Army forces are only Zhang Jiao of Julu and Zhang Liang of Guangzong.

Zhang Jiao still has 200,000 Yellow Turban troops in his hands, while Zhang Liang only has 100,000 in his hands.

Even if Zhang Bao took the remnants of the Yellow Turban Army of Yingchuan to join Zhang Liang, all the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou would not add up to more than 400,000.

Although on the battlefield of Jizhou, the number of the Yellow Turban Army was still greater than that of the Han Army.

But the tide of the battle was completely in favor of the Han army.

The city that was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army at the beginning has now basically been seized by the Han army and the militia recruited by the squires themselves.

Zhang Jiao only has the two cities of Julu Guangzong in his hands at the moment.

Now, even if the Han army does not take the initiative to attack, it will kill the Yellow Turban Army in a month at most.

The battle situation is already clear, and the Yellow Turban Army has basically no hope of turning the tables.

Zhang Jiao's spirit seemed to be withdrawn from his body at this moment, and the whole person looked completely lifeless.
