Chapter 81: The City Breaks
Zhao Yun only used two arrows to kill Zhang Bao, and the banner of the Chinese army fell.
"General Zhao is mighty!" Zhang Tong shouted excitedly, no matter whether the person Zhao Yun shot for the first time was dead or not, the fall of the Chinese army's banner would inevitably have a huge impact on the Yellow Turban.
The Chinese army is the soul of an army, with the Chinese army, even if the war is critical, the officers and soldiers in the army can still do hard support, the current situation of the Yellow Turban is like this, this is also Fu Xie's intention to let Zhao Yun lead the cavalry to attack the Yellow Turban Chinese Army, as long as the Chinese army is defeated, the rest of the war is much simpler, with the combat effectiveness of the Han cavalry with the foot soldiers, it is enough to make the Yellow Turban defeated.
Zhao Yun put away his strong bow, took out the bright silver spear, and rode his horse to kill.
Under the banner of the Chinese army, he can't be sure if it's Zhang Bao, but there is no doubt that the person is dead.
The battlefield is full of uncertainties, and only after victory can there be a greater possibility.
The Yellow Turban Chinese army was in chaos, the banner of the Chinese army fell, and even Zhang Bao died at the hands of the enemy, which brought a greater shock to the generals in the army.
The banner of the Chinese army can point out the direction for the officers and men of the army, and if the flag of the Chinese army is suddenly absent, it will give the officers and men of the army a kind of image of the army being broken by the enemy.
The Han cavalry charged, and the Yellow Turbans became more and more chaotic, and even more vulnerable in terms of resistance than Fang Cai.
The cavalry crisscrossed the Yellow Turbans, invincible, and everywhere they went, the Yellow Turbans were defeated and fled.
The Han army that then charged was constantly killing in the Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who surrendered were gathered together.
Zhang Bao's death made the Yellow Turbans too busy to take care of themselves, lacking effective command, and some Yellow Turban generals even directly led the Yellow Turbans of their headquarters out of the city, in this battle, they no longer saw the hope of victory, even if they held on the battlefield for a longer time, what was the point at all.
This night, the shouts of Xia Quyang did not gradually subside until the sky was light, and the corpses of the Yellow Turban soldiers could be seen everywhere in the city.
The yellow turban flag fluttering on the head of the city was replaced with the banner of the Han army, and the red flag fluttered in the wind.
A team of Han soldiers cleaned up the battlefield in the city and killed the remnants of the Yellow Turbans.
In fact, there are not many people in Xiaquyang, after the arrival of the Yellow Turban, all the materials in their homes belong to the Yellow Turban, and even the young and strong are also filled into the army, which is the usual means of the Yellow Turban, relying on this way, so that the number of officers and soldiers in the army continues to increase, so as to make the strength stronger.
However, when the war is going well, it is easy to say that when the war is going well, it is even more difficult to block the enemy's attack with the strength of the officers and men of the army than to ascend to the sky.
The expressions of the soldiers of the Han army could not hide their excitement, Zhang Bao was an important figure in the Yellow Turban Army, and his hoarding of Xia Quyang had a lot of materials, otherwise how could it support more than 100,000 Yellow Turbans.
In this battle, the Han army killed more than 20,000 Yellow Turbans, captured more than 40,000 Yellow Turbans, and obtained countless grains and grasses.
The government office became the place where the Han army handled affairs, and when he heard the news from the soldiers of various departments, Fu Xie smiled with satisfaction.
"This battle was able to break through Xiaquyang, Zilong contributed a lot, went to the Yellow Turban to contact the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Zuo Colonel, killed the Yellow Turban Qu Shuai Huang Long, Liu Shi, and shot Zhang Bao, this kind of merit, Ben Sima is also greedy." Fu Xie said with a smile.
Zhao Yun got up and said: "Yun has meritorious combat skills, and it also relies on the strength of the officers and men in the army. ”
Hearing this, Julu Taishou Guo Dian and the sect members secretly nodded in approval, after getting the credit, they were able to be neither arrogant nor impatient, and at this moment Zhao Yun showed the demeanor of a general in front of them.
"Colonel Zuo, the commander of the Yellow Turban Qu who defected to our army, died in battle, and Ben Sima has ordered someone to find his body and bury him." Fu Xie said.
After Zhang Bao discovered the traces of Zuo Xiao, the situation faced by Zuo Xiao can be imagined, it is precisely because of Zuo Xiao's betrayal that the Yellow Turban fell into such a situation, Zhang Bao's command has many elites to attack the Zuo School's headquarters, how can the soldiers under the command of Zuo Xiao be compared with the elite Yellow Turban, with heavy casualties, and even Zuo Xiao himself died in the chaos.
"Anyway, Colonel Zuo secretly took refuge, and it has made a great contribution to our army's breakthrough of Xia Quyang, and Ben Sima has already made a quick decision to General Huangfu." Fu Xie said.
Zhao Yun nodded, Colonel Zuo, as the commander of the Yellow Turban, defected to the Han Army at such a time, it can be seen that Colonel Zuo is disappointed in the Yellow Turban.
"In this battle, I would like to thank Guo Taishou for his help." Fu Xie got up and said.
Guo Dian said: "The Yellow Turban is in turmoil in the state and county, and this official, as a giant deer, should fight against the rebels, which is a matter of duty." ”
After Fu Xie discussed the next matter with the generals in the army, the generals of various departments left the government office one after another and broke through the Yellow Turban, and the loss of the Han army was not small, of course, it was somewhat insignificant compared to the loss of the Yellow Turban in this battle.
The next day, the Han army did not stop because of the victory in the war, and constantly sent soldiers to attack and exterminate the remnants of the Yellow Turbans nearby.
As for the more than 40,000 yellow turbans that were captured, they will be transported to the pottery and wait for the imperial court to send them down.
After the Yellow Turban Disaster in Xiaquyang, the people's livelihood was tired, and the village could not be seen for more than ten miles, which was extremely desolate, and when the Han Dynasty was stable, Jizhou was extremely rich, and the rice grain and money paid for the imperial court every year occupied an important part.
Moreover, Huangfu Song led a large army to attack Guangzong, and attacked the city one after another, and Zhang Liang had many elites of the Yellow Turbans in his hands, fighting bravely and resisting the attack of the Han army, which was extremely strong.
Seeing this, Huangfu Song launched a surprise attack on Zhang Liang's department in the middle of the night, causing chaos in the Yellow Turbans, and the Yellow Turban army suffered heavy losses, and Zhang Liang had no choice but to retreat to Guangzong City.
At this time, Fu Xie led the army to break through Quyang, beheaded more than 20,000 people, and the news of the death of the thief Zhang Bao came, which made the Han soldiers excited, and the yellow scarves in the city were terrified.
After Zhang Bao of Xia Quyang was broken by the Han army, it meant that Guangzong became a lonely city, and it was not a problem to resist the attack of the Han army with the army in the city, but the Han army with his hands free would be so terrible.
For a time, the people in the Yellow Turban Army were panicked.
Huangfu Song did not rush to attack, but ordered Fu Xie, Zhao Yun and others to rush to Guangzong overnight to carry out a final siege and kill Zhang Liang.
Liu Bei's performance in this battle was also relatively good, and he was praised by Huangfu Song.
Although Huang Fu Song had certain opinions about Liu Bei before, Huang Fu Song was the chief general of the Han army, and what he valued was how much merit the officers and soldiers in the army had when they fought.
Huangfu Song's praise made Liu Bei excited, and after the situation on the battlefield in Xiaquyang came, Liu Bei was depressed again, originally thinking that after Zhao Yun left, it would be his opportunity to make a name for himself in the army, and he didn't want Zhao Yun to be so strong on the battlefield in Xiaquyang, and the secret transfer of the Han army was obviously not something that Zhao Yun could know.
