Zhao Hong led the Yellow Turban Army to guard the four gates of Wancheng, the Yellow Turban Army was numerous, and the city tower was densely defended. And Zhu Jun ordered the soldiers of the Han army to step up the construction of siege equipment and prepare for the siege.

Han Xuan is summing up the lessons learned from the tactics used against Zhang Mancheng this time. His advice to Qin Jie was to send an elite army to ambush behind Wancheng City before Zhang Mancheng left the city, which seemed to be very clever but was full of uncertainty. Qin Jie chose to act after detecting the enemy's movements, which was safer, but in this way, the role of steamed buns was much smaller.

Moreover, Qin Jie only sent 800 elite soldiers to attack the city, but fortunately, Zhang Mancheng only left some old, weak, sick and disabled to defend the city, otherwise it would be difficult to capture it. This also shows that the military literacy of the generals of the Yellow Turban Army is generally not high, so there will be cases such as Bocai leading the army to camp in the grassland and being defeated by Huangfu Song. It is no wonder that more than 100,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army were besieged by more than 10,000 people of the Han Army, and these Yellow Turban Army also became the resources for the future major princes to farm monsters and upgrade.

I have always been talking on paper, and I still need to test it in actual combat and constantly revise my theory. In this way, you can fill your talents, and you will have the capital to compete with these princes and heroes in the future. It's just that he doesn't have the right to fight at the moment, and the more than 1,000 soldiers he brought with him were scattered by Qin Jie and incorporated into various battalions.

Qin Jie shouted at him, pulling him back from his contemplation. Han Xuan has been distracted like this many times, and it seems that he will have to change it in the future, and he can't show it in front of people, so he has to be a bit of a city.

Qin Jie asked, "I see Master Han pondering, but is there a good way to break the enemy?" ”

Han Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "General Zhu has decided to besiege the Yellow Turban thieves in the city without attacking them, and wait for their food to be destroyed in one fell swoop. This is the best policy, why should Lord Taishou ask. ”

Qin Jie hurriedly said: "Now that the city of Wancheng has been attacked for a long time, Your Majesty will definitely be to blame if he learns." At this time, if we have a strange plan to break the thief, we can be rewarded by Your Majesty. I know that Master Han has a good plan, so let's talk about it quickly. ”

Han Xuanxin said that this is called a master book, and it is not a false title, and we are not a fire head army. You're in a hurry to contribute, not for your own career.

Qin Jie seemed to see through Han Xuan's thoughts, and said: "Master Han, don't worry, on the day of the big thief, I will ask Your Majesty for an official position for you." ”

Han Xuan was overjoyed, what he lacked now was his official position and fame, and it was impossible for him to be an official by raising filial piety, and he could only rely on military merit. Han Xuan asked, "Is this true?" Can you get me a real job? ”

Qin Jie nodded: "A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase." It's just that this official can only get you an official position at the county level at most. ”

Han Xuan readily agreed, and the county official is not bad. So he said: "More than 100,000 Yellow Turban troops are guarding Wancheng, and they will inevitably suffer heavy casualties if they attack our army head-on. The only way to do this was to send soldiers to dig tunnels leading to the city, and send an elite army to enter the city from the tunnels and set fire to the grain and grass in the city. Take advantage of the chaos in the city, and then send a large army to attack the city head-on, and attack inside and outside, you can break Wancheng in one fell swoop! ”

After hearing this, Qin Jie was overjoyed, and immediately ran to the big tent of the Chinese army to tell Zhu Jun and others about this tactic as it was.

"It's a risky strategy, but it's also worth trying. At the beginning, you are really a wizard of soldiers! The person who spoke was Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Qin Jie arched his hand at him and then stood proudly, looking unfathomable. Before, everyone heard that Qin Jie killed Zhang Mancheng in a battle, and now after listening to what Qin Jie said, they couldn't help but applaud him, and admired Qin Jie for a while.

After listening to him, Zhu Jun touched his chin and looked at it carefully. Now the eunuchs who came to inspect the battle situation saw that he was besieging the Yellow Turban Army but not attacking, and there were many reproaches in his words, and when he returned to Luoyang, he must have said in front of the emperor that he was not good at fighting. At present, although the grain and grass in Wancheng City are running out, the Han army has not run out of food and grass, but it is only because the Han army has a steady stream of supplies from all over the country that there is no shortage of food.

Zhu Jun finally decided to take Qin Jie's suggestion, but he first sent a few thousand soldiers to dig a trench, and the Yellow Turbans mistakenly believed that the Han army was only trying to get close to the city by digging a trench to facilitate the siege. Zhu Jun ordered the soldiers to dig a tunnel from under the trench until they reached the city, and then Zhu Jun ordered the soldiers to retreat.

The night of July was a bit sleepy, the Han army had not come to attack the city for many days, and the Yellow Turban army on the city wall was inevitably a little lax.

In a house in Wancheng, a hole in the ground quietly opened. A Han soldier wearing leather armor and holding a ring-headed sword came out of it, and then one by one the Han soldiers drilled up behind him, and soon the whole room was crowded with Han soldiers.

A Han army general wearing iron armor and holding a steel sword walked out of the Han army, and this person was Sun Jian. Sun Jian took these Han soldiers to the place where the grain and grass were hoarded in the city, killed the sleepy guards, and set fire to the little grain and grass that was left. And they burned their houses in all parts of the city, and the city was ablaze.

Zhao Hong, who was sleeping soundly in the room, was woken up by the yellow turban soldiers in the city, and when he saw the fire in the city, he hurriedly commanded everyone to put out the fire. The old and weak women and children in the Yellow Turban Army said that the Han army had attacked the city, and they were so frightened that they fled, and the city was even more chaotic.

Zhu Jun, who led the Han army to wait outside the city, saw the fire in the city, personally beat the war drums, and ordered the whole army to attack the city. Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, and Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang, took the lead in supervising the army to attack the east gate, and the Yellow Turban soldiers defending the city immediately rushed to the east gate like a tide to resist.

Zhu Jun personally led 5,000 elite soldiers to go around to the west gate to kill. The Han soldiers pushed the cart and slammed into the city gate, and the city gate was crumbling. More than a dozen ladders were set up at the head of Wancheng, and the Yellow Turban defenders kept throwing radium and rolling wood under the city, but most of the defenders went to the east gate to support, and the west gate was lax in defense.

At the beginning, Han soldiers climbed the city wall, and they slashed and killed the panicked Yellow Turban soldiers with swords and shields, and fought a bloody way for the soldiers who climbed up from the ladder behind.

Zhu Jun ascended the wall of the West Gate, and the Han soldiers guarded the wall where he killed the rest of the gates. The Yellow Turban guards guarding the south gate tried desperately to resist, but behind them was the crowded crowd at the east gate. They had no way to retreat, covering Zhu Jun to climb the city wall, there were thousands of archers, and a burst of yellow turban soldiers at the south gate were killed and wounded.

Qin Jie and Xu Xuan led their troops to finally break through the east gate, and the Han army poured into the city like a tide. Seeing this, a large number of Yellow Turban soldiers defending the east gate were eager to escape from the city wall, and the space on the city tower was narrow, and many people were squeezed off the city wall and fell to their deaths. Many of the Yellow Turban soldiers who came down from the corridor of the city wall fell to the ground, and then they were trampled to death and injured by the Yellow Turban soldiers who were eager to flee for their lives, and the screams were endless.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who came down from the city wall cried and told Zhao Hong that the Han army had invaded Wancheng. Han Zhong, Sun Xia and others hurriedly suggested that Zhao Hong escape from the north gate of the rest of the people, so Zhao Hong rode on his horse and led the people straight to the north gate.

Sun Jian, who was killing the defeated Yellow Turban army in the city, saw a Yellow Turban general riding a horse and wearing armor leading the crowd straight to the north gate. Sun Jian said in his heart that this must be the leader of the thief, so he led his group of elite soldiers he recruited from Huaishui and Surabaya to pursue all the way.

Zhao Hong dared to chase after Sun Jian with such a few people, turned the horse's head and Pegasus to take Sun Jian directly. Sun Jian jumped up from his horse, jumped onto Zhao Hong's horse, grabbed Zhao Hong's horse, and stabbed him under the horse with a lance.

When the remnants of the Yellow Turban saw Zhao Hong dead, they scattered one after another. The Yellow Turban general Sun Xia ran out of the north gate with the remnants of the army, and met a young strong man holding an iron spine snake spear, who was Sun Jian's personal guard Cheng Pu.

I saw Cheng Pu rushing towards Sun Xia, swinging the snake spear in his hand and slashing horizontally at the leg of the war horse that Sun Xia was riding, Sun Xia fell off the horse, and Cheng Pu then rushed up and stabbed him to death. This Yellow Turban general named Sun Xia was originally the leader who continued to lead the Nanyang Yellow Turban Army to resist the Han army in history, but he died early at the hands of Cheng Pu because of Han Xuan's plan to break through Wancheng.
