Chapter 61: Chen Sheng fled

Ge Ying straddled the horse and slashed the knife, took the lead, and led the crowd to fight for the city gate.

Ge Yingnai is the chief general of Chen Sheng's army, and has a high prestige in the army, under his leadership, the morale of the whole army is invigorated, and he fights bravely, and finally suppresses the offensive of Liu Biaojun's momentum.

With the arrival of Liu Biao's army, Yang Zaixing and others had already withdrawn back according to the prior arrangement. After all, all kinds of buildings in the city are natural obstacles, and it is already benevolent and righteous to break the formation in one go, and if you continue to rush and kill in the city, the loss rate of the cavalry will be greatly increased, but the gains outweigh the losses.

Of course, it is not suitable for the cavalry corps of the brigade to charge, and it is still possible for the colonel to kill himself into the war group.

led the legion to the outside of the city, arranged for the deputy general to lead the army to standby, and the main generals turned over and fought into the city.

However, this head did not wait for Yang Zaixing and others to kill and rob back, and slaughtered in all directions in the formation, and the majestic Ge Ying had already been targeted by Huang Zhong, the vanguard general of Liu Biaojun.

When the generals outside Xiangyang City clashed, the two also fought each other. Ge Ying naturally knew Huang Zhong. Although Ge Ying knew that he was not Huang Zhong's opponent, he had no way to retreat, so he could only swing his sword to face it.

At this time, Huang Zhong's sword skills have been perfected, and his fierce and domineering skills are irresistible. And in the years to come, because of his son's affairs, he learned to be flexible on the basis of fierceness, combining rigidity and softness, yin and yang, and reaching a higher level in terms of durability and continuity, making Guan Yu's fierceness difficult to break this harmony.

After all, it's still the same sentence, just can't last long. The so-called sixty-year-old can still fight with Guan Yu, and the assertion that he is sure to be invincible when he is young is actually one-sided, with the current Huang Zhong is strength, although it can be called the top, but to say that it is a duel with Guan Yu in the period of beheading Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the two are both fierce types, and the knife is not more than dozens of rounds, Huang Zhong may be defeated.

Back then, the two fought in Changsha, just like the battle between Xu Chu and Zhou Wen, and Guan Yu still had the upper hand in terms of comprehensive bravery, of course, it was not archery. Huang Zhong, on the other hand, is a combination of rigidity and softness, and his own strength and better skills have made it a tie.

And on the battlefield now, Huang Zhong's big knife danced, fierce and strong, and the momentum was heavy, although Ge Ying struggled to resist, but his arms were numb when he was shocked, the tiger's mouth cracked, and he could barely hold the big knife in his hand, so he quickly turned the horse's head and fled into the army.

Unfortunately, he was in the midst of the chaotic army, and it was inconvenient to gallop on horseback, and Huang Zhong was blocked by the chaotic army, so he didn't have time to catch up.

However, the confrontation between the two still attracted the attention of many people, with the defeat of Ge Ying, the morale of the Han army was greatly boosted, and the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers faded one after another.

For a while, the Yellow Turban Army retreated like a tide, and although there were still many generals under Chen Sheng's command, none of them had the prestige and ability to turn the tide.

"King Chen, it's unstoppable, let's withdraw!" At this moment, Cai Ci also had to explain that he had hoped to recapture the city gate, but now it was too late to organize street battles.

"How to withdraw!" Chen Sheng didn't bother, and asked directly.

At the beginning of the anti-Qin, the two sides could be said to be in flames, and as the anti-Qin leader, Chen Sheng had no second way except to fight. Now Chen Sheng has not reached the point of complete death to the Han Dynasty after all, so retreat and retreat.

"Retreat east!" Cai Ci also figured it out at this time, "Liu Biao dug a pit to deal with us through Peng Yue in the north, so the Yuan family on Peng Yue's side must have a problem." If you want to choose, it is better to go east to Yangzhou to be insured. ”

"Good! The whole army broke through to the east gate! Chen Sheng no longer had any hope of retaking the city gate, and beckoned the generals to retreat.

In fact, the reason why the Yellow Turban Army was so defeated in this battle that it did not even cause much damage to the Han army was because of the insufficient training of the peasant army itself.

Because the training of the soldiers is not enough, the physique is still secondary, especially the lack of fighting spirit.

In order to make up for this shortcoming, the Yellow Turbans had to rely on the ancient method of fighting generals. If the battle situation advantage of the fighting generals is good, as Bao Hong led the army to join, the fighting generals crushed the Yellow Turban Army, which caused the Yellow Turban Army to lose its fighting spirit because of the defeat of the fighting generals.

Once, twice, three times............

With the outbreak of Bao Hongzhong's generals and the capture of a group of brave and famous fierce generals in the Yellow Turban Army, with the use of the inverted bead curtain tactics, coupled with the strong performance of Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, Ge Ying, who finally came forward to turn the tide, was defeated by Huang Zhong, and the Yellow Turban soldiers completely lost the courage to fight, even if Chen Sheng still chose to resist stubbornly, not many Yellow Turban soldiers would dare to respond.

Chen Sheng and the others would break through to the east gate, although this was not unexpected, but they did not expect that the siege would be so successful in advance, and did not arrange too many troops to intercept it on all sides.

The army led by the Cai family led by Cai Mao was responsible for attacking the east gate, and it was very successful to seize control of the city gate before Wu Guang led the reinforcements to arrive.

With the arrival of Wu Guang's army, the two sides fell into a stalemate, although the capture of the city gate avoided the siege of the battle of great damage, but because there was no impact of the rout, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army led by Wu Guang was not hit, and the combat power broke out in an all-round way, but it was on par with the Han army led by Cai Mao.

Just as the battle between the two sides was in full swing, the distant army was defeated.

Seeing from a distance a large group of people and horses coming straight to the city gate, under the light of the torches, it can be described as an endless long queue, seeing this situation, Cai Mao's face changed greatly.

An army of such a scale is coming, whether it is the Yellow Turban Army that killed Liu Biao's main force and came to Jingping City Gate; Or the Yellow Turban Army has been defeated by Liu Biaojun and is fleeing in this direction, and he is definitely hitting a stone with an egg in his way.

"Get out of the city!" Cai Mao didn't say a word, and directly beckoned the troops to retreat.

The Han army was well-trained, even if it did not decline at all, and even fought more and more fiercely in the confrontation with Wu Guang's troops, but with Cai Mao's order, the soldiers still began to retreat in an orderly manner.

I have to say that the gap between the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army was reflected when retreating. The Yellow Turban Army fled in one fell swoop, without the slightest awareness of what would happen if they were pursued.

When the Han army retreated, it was still in complete formation, and gradually retreated outside the city.

As the Han army took the initiative to retreat, Wu Guang successfully took over the city gate, the moon was darker, the black lights were blind, Wu Guang did not know the reality of the Han army outside the city, and naturally did not dare to go out of the city to pursue.

Cai Mao knew that there was no other arrangement outside the city, and it was useless for him to continue to stay outside the city, so he directly led the army to the north gate.

If Chen Sheng was defeated and he was crushed by the rout army rushing out of the east gate, it would be called a tragedy.

A moment later, Wu Guang ushered in the defeated Chen Sheng. Knowing that the situation was impossible, Wu Guang withdrew from the east gate with Chen Sheng's army and went to Yangzhou.

Of course, Chen Sheng also sent people to inform Wuchen and Han Guang and others to abandon the city and go to Yangzhou, as for whether they could escape the capture of the Han army and go to Yangzhou to join, Chen Sheng did not know.
