Chapter 55 Zhuo County is in an emergency

Most of the other Yellow Turban soldiers who fled in all directions were also captured, only more than 1,000 people fled into the mountains and forests, and the rest were all captured except for those who were killed.

Although Yao Jie has no cavalry, you must know that Yao Jie's troop training has long-distance running, plus the soldiers are well nourished, and their endurance and speed naturally far exceed these skinny and malnourished Yellow Turban Army, so in the end, these Yellow Turban Army found that no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't outrun these Han Army, especially the happiest ones who ran, and they had to be beaten if they were caught, after all, who let them run so fast, causing the Han Army to chase so far, plus the Han Army shouted "Surrender and don't kill", so they simply surrendered directly.

"Yide, Yunchang, immediately collect the prisoners and count the results."

Soon the results of the battle were counted, "Big brother, in this battle, our army only suffered more than 1,000 casualties before defeating the Yellow Turban Army, beheading the thief Deng Mao, most of the Yellow Turban Army was captured, our army killed more than 4,000 Yellow Turban Army, captured more than 24,000 people, captured 300 war horses, 12,000 horses and mules, 180,000 stone of grain and grass, and 5,000 gold in property. ”

"How could there be such a big seizure?" Yao Jie wondered.

"According to the prisoners' confessions, this group of Yellow Turban soldiers came out to loot grain and grass, most of which they looted from everywhere, and some of them carried it themselves."

Yao Jie nodded, it can be explained now, as for why there are so many property, since it is out to loot, how can the Yellow Turban Army know that it only looted grain and grass and let go of the property, if the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army had such a high quality, they would have overthrown the Han Dynasty a long time ago.

"Set up camp on the spot, rest for a day, and then quickly rush to the aid of Zhuo County." Yao Jie saw that the soldiers were tired, so he ordered.

As soon as the order was passed down, the whole army cheered, everyone was not iron-clad, just after a big battle, they were all physically and mentally exhausted, and they needed to rest well, Yao Jie would not be stupid enough to take the tired division to fight the enemy, as for whether there would be a Yellow Turban rout to send the news back, it was three days away from Zhuo County, and the Yellow Turban Army that escaped before did not have cavalry, so Yao Jie was not worried that they would be one step ahead of him.

Early the next morning, Yao Jie pulled out of the camp and began a rapid march, he knew that the thousands of remnants of Zhuo County would probably not be able to withstand for long, if it was too late, let Cheng Yuanzhi defeat Zhuo County would be over.

"Quick, speed up, the brothers in Zhuo County are still waiting for us!" Yao Jie roared.

―――――――――――――――

On the other side, the situation of the thousands of Han troops trapped in the city of Zhuojun became more and more critical.

The small walls of Zhuojun City are low, and under the onslaught of Cheng Yuanzhi's army for several days, Zhuojun City has become precarious.

The Han troops trapped in Zhuojun were demoralized because they saw no hope of victory or escape. But no one wanted to surrender, not because they were stubborn and unyielding, but because there were rumors that the Yellow Turbans treated their soldiers very cruelly, and the Han soldiers who had surrendered to them in the past were all tortured and left dead. It was for this reason that the thousands of Han troops trapped in Zhuojun did not surrender.

"Lord Captain, did you say that Lord Governor would send reinforcements?" At the head of the city, a thin pawn asked Wang Chaodao, the commander beside him, in a whisper.

At this time, Wang Chao was far less energetic than before, and in the battle with the Yellow Turban Army not long ago, Wang Chao was also injured, and now he has a white cloth wrapped around his head.

"Don't worry, the 100,000 troops of the imperial court have already gone south to quell the rebellion, and they will definitely not watch the Yellow Turban Army attack our Zhuoxian and ignore it." Wang Chao said to the pawn, at this time, there can be no remarks about singing down, the Han army is already demoralized because of the defeat, if it is sung again, this battle will not have to be fought.

"The enemy is coming! Get ready for battle! Wang Chao shouted, and then with a big knife, his eyes widened.

Cheng Yuanzhi personally stood under the city, erected a handsome flag, and urged the soldiers to attack the city.

Tens of thousands of Yellow Turban troops attacked from all sides at the same time, and although their formation was chaotic, the scene was very terrifying. The roar of tens of thousands of people is like the howl of a herd of wild beasts, which shakes the heavens and shakes people's hearts; The entire battlefield was dusty, and the figures in it were surging, and looking from afar, people felt a heavy pressure.

The war drums in the Yellow Turban Army rang loudly, and one after another ladders braved the rain of arrows to set up the city.

The Han soldiers defending the city threw stones down in desperation, and one after another the Yellow Turban soldiers were smashed to the point that their heads were broken and blood flowed down, and occasionally there was a clicking sound, which was the sound of the ladder to the city being broken.

But there were too many Yellow Turban troops, and it didn't take long for the Yellow Turban soldiers to break through the volley and reach the top of the city.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who had just reached the top of the city suffered heavy losses under the counterattack of the superior Han army, but as more and more Yellow Turban soldiers climbed to the top of the city, the Han army gradually became difficult to suppress.

Then the scuffle at the head of the four gates began. In the distance, I could only see the figures on the top of the city shaking, swords flashing, and all kinds of shouts resounding through the sky.

"Ahh With a miserable scream, a Han soldier was killed in battle, and his comrades-in-arms didn't have time to grieve for him, so they directly hacked the Yellow Turban soldier to death with a knife to avenge him.

There were constantly corpses falling under the city wall, some Han soldiers and some Yellow Turban soldiers, and the two sides fought fiercely on this low city wall, and the corpses on the city wall had been piled up, and both sides were red-eyed, only knowing how to mechanically slash at the enemy who was dressed differently from them, or fall under the enemy's knife.

Wang Chao's big knife was constantly wielded, and many Yellow Turban soldiers died under his knife, and at this time, a Yellow Turban general also noticed him.

"Bell!" The two big knives collided together, Wang Chao took two steps back, and the Yellow Turban General also took two steps back, it seems that the two of them seem to be indistinguishable, in fact, Wang Chao consumes a lot of physical strength, so strictly speaking, Wang Chao is better.

"Go on!" Wang Chao wielded a big knife and fought against the Yellow Turban.

"Drink!" Wang Chao shook away the big knife of the Yellow Turban general, and at the same time slashed at his chest.

"Whew!" Because the Yellow Turban general retreated in time, the broadsword only cut a shallow wound in his chest.

The Yellow Turban General was furious, and immediately swung his knife at Wang Chao, and suddenly Wang Chao's arm was sore, and the Yellow Turban General took the opportunity to slash at his left arm, leaving a hideous wound.

Wang Chao glared at the Yellow Turban General angrily and shouted: "Kill!" Then he jumped, and the big knife slashed at the knife of the Yellow Turban general, and the huge force shook it back three steps in a row, Wang Chao was unforgiving, and immediately chased after him, and then several Yellow Turban soldiers blocked him.

Wang Chao slashed several Yellow Turban soldiers with a knife, but the Yellow Turban General had already reacted and was ready.
