Despite this, the Yellow Turban Army's strength advantage was too great, almost five times that of the rebel army defending the city. Moreover, the Yellow Turban Army attacked from three sides, and the rebels defending the city were divided into less than 2,000 men on each wall.

Gradually, the Yellow Turban soldiers began to rush to the city wall, although they were quickly killed by the rebels defending the city, and failed to establish a foothold to climb the city. However, the rebels defending the city did have too few troops, and more Yellow Turban troops were already climbing up, and more importantly, the equipment for defending the city, such as stones, boiling oil or logs, was almost exhausted.

He smashed the last stone down with his own hands, and the three or four Yellow Turban sergeants who were climbing on the cloud ladder in the middle suddenly fell to the ground and died, Deng Tong roared angrily: "The city is broken, people are dead!" Die for the king today! The daredevils are stationed at the city walls! ”

The rebels defending the city around him were all red-eyed, and there was no hesitation at all, so they took a big shield and a wooden board in front of them, and stood up directly, killing the Yellow Turban soldiers who attacked the city wall.

But Deng Tong looked at the less than half of the remaining rebels around him, and he knew that unless there was a miracle, Tongluo County would be destroyed today.

Seeing this scene, Captain Ding's face turned pale, he didn't expect these defenders to be so tenacious. He looked at the left bearded Shohachi, and saw that the other party was still expressionless, but it seemed that his eyes were not only focused on the battlefield, but also on their own rear.

Without continuing to think about it, he raised his hand and waved it forward, letting the Yellow Turban Army continue to attack and be sure to take down Tongbi County.

On the city wall, Deng Tong looked at the soldiers around him, and he knew in his heart that these soldiers had reached a critical point and were facing collapse. It was he himself, who was also slashed by the Yellow Turban Army who rushed up, and he was in the chest, but fortunately the rebels around him supported him, and he picked up a life. Then he bandaged the wound briefly and continued to join the fight, also relying on the pain of the wound, and also kept telling him that he was still alive.

"I can't hold it, alas, it's a pity that I can't serve the Han Dynasty anymore, I just hope that someone can stop these Yellow Turban Army, so that they don't continue to wreak havoc on other counties." Seeing the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who came up one after another, Deng Tong sighed in his heart.

Perhaps the heavens heard his prayers, and suddenly a rebel defending the city on the western wall shouted: "Reinforcements, it's our reinforcements, reinforcements have arrived." ”

The city guards next to it also looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a group of men and horses approaching Tongba County from the west of Tongba County, with a clear banner and a strict military appearance, definitely not the Yellow Turban Army, not the reinforcements sent by the imperial court but also the local volunteer reinforcements, in short, they came to save Tongba County.

The volunteers on the city wall were greatly surprised, and when the news from the west wall reached the south and east city walls, Deng Tong couldn't help but get excited. He didn't expect that at this most critical time, reinforcements would really arrive.

The rebels defending the city didn't know where to get a lot of strength in their bodies, and they were exhausted and killed the Yellow Turban army attacking the city again.

At the same time, news of Mingjin's withdrawal from the rear of the Yellow Turban Army also came. This is the order of Zuo Zhangpachi, he is worried that now his own troops, if he fights at both ends, he is likely to put himself in a situation of being caught between two ends, and the combat strength of one of the enemy troops is still very strong, for the sake of safety, he immediately ordered Mingjin to withdraw his troops.

Zeng Yu and they did not immediately attack, in order to rush to Tongyu County as soon as possible, they have been speeding up the march, forcibly shortening the trip by one day, and rushed over at noon on the fourth day. Although they look neat in terms of military appearance, they have just come over, and their combat effectiveness is not at the peak, and they also need time to recover.

After half a day of siege, the Yellow Turban Army lost a lot of strength, and Zuo Zhangba was very jealous of Zeng Yu's troops, and he also did not dare to do it when his combat strength did not reach its peak.

Therefore, in the county seat of Tongluo County, the three parties have formed a very strange situation. The Yellow Turban Army of Zuo Zhangba is located between Zeng Yu's army and Tonglu County, but whether it is Zeng Yu or Zuo Zhangba, the strength of both sides has more than 10,000, of which Zuo Zhangba still has a slight advantage, but both are now all tired divisions. The rebels defending the city in Tongba County, although they desperately hoped that reinforcements could enter the city, they had too few troops, and they were worried that once the city gate was opened, the Yellow Turban Army would be the first to enter.

In the end, Zeng Yu set up a camp one mile away from the Yellow Turban Army camp, and Zuo Zhangba also led the army into the camp.

However, whether it is Zeng Yu or Zuo Zhangbachi, both of them know in their hearts that after a night's rest, they will decide the final winner tomorrow. If Zeng Yu wins, then the Yellow Turban Army's plan in Shangdang County will fail completely, and it will be a matter of time before Shangdang County falls back into the hands of the Han Dynasty. If the Yellow Turban Army wins, other counties in Shangdang County can no longer organize officers and soldiers of the same scale and combat power, the momentum of the Yellow Turban Army will rise greatly, and it will soon be able to pull up a larger team and occupy the entire Shangdang County like a devastating force.

A night of vigilance, the whole night was uneventful.

On the second day, whether it was Zeng Yu's unclothed army, or the main force of the more than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army left by Zuo Zhangba, or the righteous army defending the city in Tonglu County, they all woke up at dawn.

Deng Tong also saw that the reinforcements outside the city and the Yellow Turban Army seemed to have clashed for a long time, but since he had not received Zeng Yu's request for cooperation, his current task was to collect his Tongba County.

And Zeng Yu notified Wang Qing and others to come to his tent to participate in the military meeting. In the tent, Zeng Yu sat in the first place, Wang Qing and Guo Jia sat around him, and the commanders and deputy commanders of the other battalions also sat in turn.

"I am sure you know the purpose of calling you here today. Next, we will fight the Yellow Turban Army on the front, this time the enemy is based on the headquarters of the Yellow Turban Army, which started from the beginning, and then expanded and reorganized. Although they are not trained as rigorously as we are, they are constantly fighting in their own way. The people who have stayed after such training are not easy to match, and everyone is a veteran on the battlefield. But for us, all we need to do is break him, break him, smash him. ”

Zeng Yu looked at everyone, saw them looking at him with burning eyes, and continued: "Our unclothed army has also gone through a lot of battles before, from the initial suppression of bandits to the battle of Xiangyuan a few days ago. However, we have always relied on stratagem to build a huge advantage before we go into battle. This time is different, we want to defeat the enemy with dignity, do you have confidence? “

"Yes!" The commanders of the three major battalions of the Unclothed Army all stood up and shouted.

"Come on, give me this letter of war to the Yellow Turban Army on the other side, they should be waiting, don't let them wait." Zeng Yu shouted outside the camp.

Immediately, a personal soldier came in, took the battle book from Zeng Yu's hand, and quickly rode towards the Yellow Turban Army camp.

Seeing that Zeng Yu did not enter the city, Zuo Zhangba knew his plan. After a night's rest, he asked Captain Ding to count the losses of yesterday's battle, and now the Yellow Turban Army has only more than 13,000 intact soldiers left in addition to the wounded soldiers, and the Yellow Turban Army lost nearly 4,000 men in the battle yesterday morning.

However, the remaining soldiers can be said to be his real family background, some of them were under his command before the Yellow Turban Army broke out, and the others were also selected from the recruited young men after the uprising.

Zeng Yu's war book was sent to the Yellow Turban Army camp, although Zuo Zhangba was illiterate, but the Yellow Turban Army also had literacy documents, and the document told Zeng Yu's meaning to Zuo Zhangba, and agreed that the two sides would fight outside Tongba County in the middle of the time. There was no accident in Zuo Shohachi, who had long been expected, and he ordered all the soldiers to pack a meal and prepare for battle.

The battlefield selected by Zeng Yu is outside the south gate of Tonglu County, less than a mile away from the county seat, the reason why he chose to be here is that it is far away from the large camps of both sides, and secondly, it can let the defenders of Tongtao County see the situation of the battlefield fighting, which is to facilitate his prestige.

When the time first arrived, Zeng Yu asked 2,000 people to stay in the camp and take care of the grain and grass. Then he personally led the three battalions of the unclothed army and slowly advanced to the agreed battlefield.

Because the Clothless Army had not been trained in battle formations before, the Clothless Army did not put on a special formation this time. Zeng Yu only divided the army into the front army, the middle army, and the left and right wings. The shooter battalion commanded by Wu Shi is the Chinese army, and Zeng Yu and his personal soldiers are also in command of the overall situation in the Chinese army. The front army is the Ruishi battalion commanded by Wang Qing, because there is no cavalry, so Zeng Yu will be the left and right armies of the Wushu battalion under Pei Yuanshao, responsible for the response of the two wings, and at the same time waiting for the opportunity to attack.

On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, their military branch is not as thin as the Clothless Army. And although they formed archers, the archers themselves were a money-burning army, and if they were not trained, the combat effectiveness of the archers was not as good as that of an ordinary foot soldier.

Therefore, after Zeng Yu arrived at the battle site, the camp when the Yellow Turban Army appeared was to use the main force of 10,000 Yellow Turban Army led by Captain Ding as the front army, and Zuo Zhangba personally led the remaining 3,000 soldiers as the rear army.

On the wilderness, flags fluttered, and the unclothed army and the yellow turban army gathered together and swayed each other.

In Tonglu County, the county commander Deng Tong got the report of the volunteers defending the city, and immediately went to the southern city wall. They saw the two armies facing each other below, and from the city walls, the large camp of the unclothed army was neatly organized into several squares.

The Yellow Turbans are relatively loose, but they have fought with the Yellow Turbans and know that although the Yellow Turbans look untidy, once they gather a certain advantage in the battle, their combat power will be high, constantly impacting their opponents until they are finally defeated.

Next, the Yellow Turbans will be joined by new reinforcements, and Deng Tong only hopes that they will be able to hold on to the Yellow Turban Army's offensive. Because in a pure infantry battle, when the forces are equal, if the combat power is equal, it depends on who has the stronger willpower.
