Chapter 74: Take Wancheng
The Han army and the Yellow Turban Army were entangled together.
Even if the Yellow Turbans were able to escape into the city, the Han army would also follow them into the city, and nothing would change.
It can be said that when Zhao Hong and the three decided to go out of the city to face the battle, their fate had already been decided.
Of course, even if you stick to the city, the result will not change much, but you can just hold on for a little longer.
Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong saw that the Han army had rushed up, and after glancing at each other, they did not continue to run towards the city gate, but took more than 100 guards and went towards the side of the city gate, preparing to escape around the city.
They knew that even if they fled into the city, the city gates could not be closed, and they would still fall into the hands of the Han army.
In this way, if you flee into the city, you still need to continue to run for your life, so it is better to start running for your life directly from here.
However.
Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong wanted to escape, how could it be so easy.
After slashing Han Zhong to death with a single sword, Wei Yan went straight to Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong.
And Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, and Xu Chu, who led the army to charge in the back, are the same, after all, they still know this truth very well when they capture the thief first.
Although the Yellow Turban Army has become a mess, they have a great advantage, but the Yellow Turban Army has tens of thousands of people after all, and their soldiers and horses are only more than 10,000, in order to reduce losses, it is also necessary to capture Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong.
This will also allow you to end the battle quickly.
Huang Zhong's ability to the four people, how can it be that the ordinary Yellow Turban Army can resist, in the chaos of the army, it is like entering a no-man's land.
The weapons in his hands were waved again and again, slashing the Yellow Turban Army blocking the road.
Not long.
caught up with Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong, who wanted to escape, and surrounded the two.
"We surrender!" Zhao Hong shouted.
Sun Zhong also nodded again and again.
The two of them were already similar to Han Zhong, and Han Zhong couldn't even take Wei Yan's sword, let alone them, they couldn't escape, so they could only surrender.
But he didn't immediately throw down his weapon, but looked at Huang Zhong and the other four people who surrounded them.
"Childe said no!"
After speaking.
Huang Zhong waved the big knife in his hand, and took the lead in rushing towards Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong, who were surrounded by more than 100 Yellow Turban soldiers.
"Kill~!"
There are no superfluous words.
Dian Wei, Xu Chu, and Wei Yan were also in the other three directions, waving the weapons in their hands and killing them.
There were no surprises.
In the end, Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong were beheaded by Huang Zhong, and they died without a blind eye.
If they knew that the soldiers and horses under Qin Yin's command were so strong, or if they knew the news that Qin Yin led the army to come, they would directly lead the army to leave here, instead of staying here and waiting for Qin Yin to lead the army to come, let alone go out of the city to face the battle.
But facts are facts.
"Zhao Hong and Sun Zhong are dead, if you surrender, you can avoid death!" Wei Yan shouted.
After killing the three leaders of Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong, then if the remaining Yellow Turban Army knew each other and was willing to surrender, there would be no need to make a big move.
And it is not in line with their character to do something against these Yellow Turban soldiers who don't have much force value.
Of course, if you refuse to surrender, you still have to kill those who should be killed.
When the long ~~
Heard Wei Yan's big shout.
The Yellow Turban soldiers who were still resisting, or wanted to flee back to the city, also threw down their weapons and gave up resistance.
Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong are all dead.
They didn't have the heart to continue to fight hard.
What's more, they were already lagging behind, being chased and killed by the Han army, and if they could live, how could they think of dying.
But there are still some who want to do useless resistance, and in the end they all die under the knife.
The battle is over.
Under the first battle, he only directly captured Wancheng.
For such a result.
Qin Yin didn't feel any surprises, even if there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, but with Huang Zhong, Dian Wei, Wei Yan, and Xu Chu, it would be easy to capture a city without any generals stationed.
Unless the difference in strength is too great, and they are still holding on to the city.
Otherwise, in a head-on confrontation, even if there are 100,000 soldiers and horses, they can be as powerful as a bamboo.
What's more, these Yellow Turban remnants, without generals, strategists, and scattered sand, how can they resist the attack of the soldiers and horses under his command.
After the battle.
Qin Yin arranged for the soldiers to clean up the battlefield and collect the prisoners.
Now that he has won Wancheng, then he will soon need to rush to Mount Tai to take office, these Yellow Turban Army is a plate of loose sand under the command of Zhao Hong and the other three, but if they are recruited under his command, it will be completely different.
And with Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, they can also help him train soldiers and horses.
As for Dian Wei and Xu Chu, they are not suitable for commanding troops.
What's more, for the sake of the future, first strengthen the power in your hands, which is also something that is needed.
Took over the affairs of Wancheng.
also sent people to let Cai Yong and Cai Yan take the logistics troops, uproot the camp, and come to Wancheng to converge, and they also need to send people to Luoyang to report the news.
After all, after removing the Yellow Turban remnants of Wancheng, it was an order from the imperial court, and it still needed to be reported to solve the matter.
You can also ask for credit, although you can guess that there will be no reward down, but what needs to be done, you still need to do it.
In this way, it will not continue to fall into the mouth.
Although I am not afraid, there is no need to add trouble to myself.
After everything is arranged.
Qin Yin settled down in Wancheng.
After all, he has only experienced the battle, and it is not suitable to march immediately, and he only went to Mount Tai to take office, not to fight, so there is no need to be so anxious.
Take a break and march again, that's okay too.
In the city of Nanyang.
Nanyang Taishou knew that Qin Yin had captured Wancheng in one battle and killed Zhao Hong, Han Zhong, and Sun Zhong, and he was also surprised in his heart, and he was secretly glad that he did not offend Qin Yin.
Although he heard about the bravery of Huang Zhong and Wei Yan, he was a little unhappy in his heart, but he still endured it, not wanting to offend Qin Yin because of this.
Moreover, the removal of the Yellow Turban remnants in Wancheng is still very good news for him.
You know, Wancheng is next to the city he manages.
Zhao Hong and the others did not lead the army to attack, but he still felt very anxious, afraid that the next moment, Zhao Hong would lead the army to attack Nanyang City.
Now he is able to put down the big stone in his heart.
However.
Wan Cheng in the middle of the city.
Qin Yin arranged things and was ready to rest.
"Report, five miles south of Wancheng, there is a force of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, waving the banner of the Han Dynasty!" A soldier came to report.
Hear the words.
Qin Yin's eyes froze.
You must know that now all parts of the Central Plains know that he was ordered to attack Wancheng, but now there are 'friendly troops' coming, but the problems in this are worth studying.
"Come with me and see!"
Regardless of where this army came from, it still needs to be understood.
Qin Yin also took Dian Wei, Huang Zhong, Wei Yan, Xu Chu, and more than 100 horsemen, and went out of the city and headed in the direction where the soldiers and horses came. The Hidden Emperor of the Three Kingdoms
