Huyang Battle

While Wenqi successfully captured Huyang and Biyang, Sun Jian launched a three-day onslaught in Anzhong City, but was finally defeated by the 50,000 troops of Han Zhong and Zhao Hong from Nanyang, and retreated to Nieyang to hold on.

"My lord, report urgently!"

Wen Qi had just taken over the three thousand recruits from the ancient city in Wuyin, when he received the news of Sun Jianjun's defeat in Anzhong, and not long after, another herald hurriedly came.

"My lord, Han Zhong and Zhao Hong's troops were divided into two routes after defeating Sun Jian's army, Zhao Hong took 10,000 people to garrison Anzhong, the Yellow Turban Army that originally attacked Xinye turned to attack and defended, Han Zhong marched into Huyang with 40,000 people, and the Yellow Turban Army of Shuyang and Jianyang has also been assembled, a total of 30,000 troops, also advancing to Huyang, and it is expected that the two troops will arrive in Huyang within seven days."

After Guan Yu and Zhang Fei took Huyang, there were no other cities between them and Xinye, and the original Wenqi troops could already form a line of defense with Xinye, but they didn't expect that the Yellow Turban Army did not take advantage of the victory to attack Sun Jian, who was defeated, and also gave up attacking Xinye, which had been attacking for a month and a half, and concentrated their firepower towards themselves.

Wen Qi was worried about how to deal with the 70,000 Yellow Turban Army, when another herald ran in.

"My lord, nearly 300,000 Yellow Turban troops in Nanyang City poured out of the nest and attacked General Huangfu's camp, and General Huangfu retreated from the camp for thirty miles to avoid the edge of the Yellow Turban Army, and the battle between the two armies was about to break out."

The sudden force of the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army ended the previous situation of small fights, whether it was Wen Qi, Sun Jian, Huangfu Song, and Cao Cao, they all began to feel pressure.

Within seven days, the Yellow Turban Army will arrive in Huyang, plus the time to set up camp and reorganize the troops, Wen Qi estimates that he should have less than ten days to prepare, and the current troop situation is 5,000 in Biyang City, 7,000 in Wuyin, and 3,000 in Huyang, although there are still 4,000 recruits to be mobilized in the ancient city, it is obviously unable to catch up with the rescue of Huyang.

After careful consideration, Wen Qi left 2,000 people to guard Biyang, and left 2,000 people to guard Wuyin, in case the Yellow Turban Army light troops were dispatched, taking advantage of the weakness to enter, and sneaking into the city, and everyone else, including himself, rushed to Huyang, let Li Tong and Liao Hua go to the ancient city to replace Gao Shun and Zhou Cang, Li Tong and Liao Hua still have a long period of growth, this time to face the 70,000 army of the Yellow Turban Army, he needs Gao Shun, who has the strongest ability to command the army, and Zhou Cang can make up for Gao Shun's weakness in force, and can let Gao Shun command with peace of mind, as long as the two of them are lightly armed and fast, Arriving in Huyang within ten days should not be a problem.

Under Wenqi's dispatch, within five days, all the military strategic materials that Biyang and Wuyin could mobilize were sent to Huyang, and on the evening of the eighth day, Gao Shun and Zhou Cang also entered Huyang City with a thousand cavalry from the ancient city, and the Yellow Turban Army had already set up camp twenty miles to the west.

"Woooooo

On the morning of the tenth day, the sound of horns sounded all over Huyang City, and Wen Qi climbed to the top of the city, and countless yellow turban flags were already appearing on the horizon.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"

"Great sage and good teacher, on behalf of the heavens!"

Countless Yellow Turban soldiers shouted slogans and began to assemble under the city, and at the end were a few Yellow Turban wrestlers, pulling a huge flatbed truck, and a high platform was built on the flatbed, and Han Zhong was standing on the top of the high platform, just as Wen Qi saw on the battlefield in Nanyang.

In front of the flatbed, the Yellow Turban Army, wearing formal yellow robes and beating gongs and drums, was like an honor guard, and there was a group of Yellow Turban Warlocks on both sides, and behind the flatbed, there were two rushing cars that hit the city gate, and each rushing car used twelve Yellow Turban wrestlers, I am afraid that it is extraordinary.

The flatbed truck followed the rushing car slowly, and Wenqi even thought that these cars might have started moving towards Huyang since last night.

The two rushing carts were pulled to the west gate and the north gate respectively, obviously to storm these two city walls, and Wen Qi's troops also began to assemble on these two cities, because Huyang City was small, and only 3,000 troops could barely be arranged on the two city walls, and the remaining 6,000 people were on standby.

"The defenders of the city listen, I am the Yellow Turban Divine Envoy, immediately open the city and surrender, spare you from death!"

Han Zhong's voice rolled in from all directions, but the same words were not new, obviously the culture was too low, and there would only be a few words.

"I don't know how many yellow thieves have told your grandfather Zhang that, and in the end, it wasn't that his head moved!" Zhang Fei shouted, his momentum was no weaker than Han Zhong, who had used spells.

"Han Zhong, a level 9 blue general, 75 in force, 57 in dominance, 43 in intelligence, 57 in politics, 47 in charisma, 90 in power, and all the data have reached the peak."

"Attributes: Bewitchment level 8, demagogic ability increased by 80%, faith fanaticism level 9, force increased by 90% when fighting for Taiping Dao, intelligence decreased by 36%, special attribute wrestler, the success rate of summoning Yellow Turban wrestlers increased by 30%, summoned Yellow Turban wrestlers attack increased by 10, defense increased by 5, currently Han Zhong is protected by Zhang Jiao spell, and is blessed by Taiping Dao faith."

"No treasures?" Wen Qi remembered that in the Nanyang battlefield, Han Zhong should have a Blood Soul Bead.

"Not detected."

It is estimated that Zhang Mancheng is engaged in some kind of conspiracy and trickery in Nanyang, and it is useful to keep the Blood Soul Bead, but Wen Qi didn't have time to think about it, and the Yellow Turban Army had already begun to attack.

More than 5,000 Yellow Turban soldiers turned into blood under Han Zhong's spell, summoning one hundred and twenty Yellow Turban wrestlers, eighty standing in front of the formation, forty standing behind the formation as humanoid trebuchets, and more than forty Yellow Turban Warlocks brought by Han Zhong from the beginning, plus thirty Yellow Turban wrestlers who pulled the rushing cart and the giant flatbed car.

The trumpets of the Yellow Turbans blew on both sides, and the Yellow Turbans began to charge with their rudimentary wooden shields.

"Shoot the arrows!"

Wen Qi gave an order, and the defenders on the two walls began to fire arrows with all their might, and some infantry without bows and arrows also threw gravel at the city, and before the Yellow Turban Warriors reached the city, they must kill as many Yellow Turban soldiers as possible.

The Yellow Turban Army under the city relied on the simple wooden shield in his hand, after surviving a wave of arrow rain with difficulty, the shields were shattered, and there were countless arrows, because Han Zhong did not use numb skills, the Yellow Turban Army's advance began to slow down, and those who were not dead by the arrows wailed and retreated, and even blocked some of the Yellow Turban Army's advancing troops.

"Kill all these deserters who stand in the way of our army's advance!"

Han Zhong had no sympathy for these wounded soldiers, and he didn't cast the numbing spell because he considered that this siege battle would inevitably last, and once the numbing effect passed, the side effects would be too great, and he would not use it until the last moment.

After the battle, the Yellow Turban wrestlers began to throw stones to suppress the archers, and after many battles with these Yellow Turban troops, Wenqi's troops had already gained experience.

"Infantry in formation!"

Gao Shun ordered the flag to wave, five or six infantry holding shields, supporting each other, forming a shield wall, a section on the city wall, protecting the nearby archers, after bearing the Yellow Turban Lux's stonethrowing, and quickly separated, so that the archers continued to release arrows, this set of tactics, Gao Shun specially prepared for the Yellow Turban Warrior's stonethrowing.

Compared with the Yellow Turban Lux throwing stones, what made the defenders even more miserable was the Yellow Turban Warlock's small thunderblasts, these thunderbolts attack fast and small in size, once they enter through the gap in the infantry's shield wall, they can kill and injure a dozen soldiers nearby, even if they hit the shield, the continuous lightning explosions, the infantry cannot spread the shield, and the archers cannot provide output.

These Yellow Turban Warlocks also have weaknesses, their attack range is similar to that of archers, and their defense is weak, so they can only rely on constantly moving around the Yellow Turban army, avoiding the arrows of the archers, and ensuring their own safety.

A Yellow Turban Warlock quickly retreated and hid in the midst of the Yellow Turban army after flying a dozen infantry with a thunderbolt, and behind him were whizzing arrows, some of which fell to the ground, some of which killed some of the inconsequential Yellow Turbans, but none of them were shot at him, and he looked back and smiled defiantly, this was already the third infantry squad he had blown up.

"Poof!"

The Yellow Turban Warlock rushed to the chest as soon as it was hot, his own blood gushed out, and soon soaked through the Yellow Turban robe, his face was incredible, he had obviously walked out of the range of the bow and arrow, and then looked closely, it turned out that the javelin that shot him was actually a javelin.

Huang Zhong had already told several generals about these Yellow Turban Warlocks, in addition to his own bow and arrows constantly looking for the Yellow Turban Warlocks who came out, Guan Yu Zhang Fei carried a pot of javelins on his back, and Zhou Cang carried a bag of flying axes.

Compared with bows and arrows, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's javelins have a bonus of thousands of catties, and the range of throwing is farther.

Guan Yu threw another shot at the Yellow Turban Warlock under the city, the javelin grazed the Yellow Turban Warlock, shot off one of his ears, and strung the three Yellow Turban Warlocks next to him into a string, the Yellow Turban Warlock wanted to retreat, Zhang Fei followed with another shot, hit him in the waist, nailed the Yellow Turban Warlock to the ground, and blocked the way of the army behind, and was cut down by the Yellow Turban Lux with an axe.

Zhou Cang's flying axe attack range is a little closer than the javelin, and Zhou Cang has no talent in throwing, and his crosshair is even worse, after throwing a dozen flying axes to kill a Yellow Turban Warlock, the second one can't be thrown, seeing that after the Yellow Turban Warlock killed a team of infantry, he has retreated into the Yellow Turban Army formation and can't see the human figure, Zhou Cang simply picked up the stone that the Yellow Turban Lux threw to the wall, and smashed it towards the pile of people, smashing all the people in that piece into flesh.

And the most ruthless person who killed these Yellow Turban Warlocks was Huang Zhong, but anyone who dared to enter Huang Zhong's range, let alone throw a thunderbolt, sucked it into his stomach in one breath, and before he could exhale, Huang Zhong's arrow had already arrived.

Han Zhong, an ordinary Yellow Turban Army, was not distressed, but these Yellow Turban Warlocks were very precious, due to the range of attack, it was indeed too wasteful to attack the city, so he was busy summoning those Yellow Turban Warlocks back, but only twelve of the forty Yellow Turban Warlocks had been killed.

"Rush the car and prepare to go, immediately send someone to fill the moat!"
