Chapter 177: Abandonment

The two armies faced each other, the Yellow Turban Army had already lined up in formation, and although the Han Army was not prepared, it could go into battle if it put down the siege equipment such as ladders.

The drums on both sides were beating loudly, boosting morale and preparing for a battle.

Finally, the last sound of the war drums dissipated, and both sides began to attack.

Tens of thousands of people began to charge, and the scene was truly shocking.

The two sides fought together, although the morale of the Han army was low, but the combat power was good, and the soldiers were trained, although they were at a disadvantage for a while, but the disadvantage was not obvious.

These yellow turbans are all trained, and their combat effectiveness is no worse than that of the Han army, but the worse is that the weapons and equipment are worse.

Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao each led a team of men and horses to charge, they concentrated their forces to attack the two directions of the Han army, after all, the Han army was not well prepared, the formation was relatively unreasonable, and they were pressed and beaten by the two for a while.

"Wen You, this imperial army is a little bad." Dong Zhuo saw that the imperial army was pressed and beaten, although the situation was okay now, but Dong Zhuo knew that the morale of the imperial army was greatly reduced by himself, and if this continued, once the yellow turban increased the pressure slightly, then there might be problems with the imperial army.

"Lord, take a look again, I think you can let General Jianwei Ye Chen prepare first, and if the situation is not good, you can call him to take action." Li Ru suggested.

Dong Zhuo gave the order to let Ye Chen prepare, but Ye Chen did not shirk when he received the order, because this was not a siege, and it was completely reasonable for them to fight.

"Order, let the Digong General and the Rengong General increase the intensity of the attack." Seeing that the situation was favorable to his side, Zhang Jiao at the head of the city ordered to intensify the attack.

"Break through the Han army in front of me for me." Zhang Bao shouted with a big knife.

He had already seen that the morale of the Han army was not high, and as long as he increased the intensity of the attack, he could completely break the Han army in front of him.

Zhang Liang also ordered the soldiers to intensify their attacks and try to break through.

Several generals of the Han army worked hard to command the soldiers to block the attack of the Yellow Turbans, but the morale of the Han army was not high, and no matter how hard they tried, they could only barely resist it.

However, when the Han army was about to break through the formation, Dong Zhuo hurriedly sent two more troops to support, but he was able to block the yellow turban and did not break through his formation.

Zhang Jiao looked at the city, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang each led a team of men and horses, embedded in the Han army formation, the yellow scarves behind continued to impact, expanding the two breakthroughs, and the Han army continued to mobilize troops and horses to support.

The Han army was tired of coping, and the morale of the Yellow Turban was high, and there was a great move to break through the Han army's formation in one fell swoop, Ye Chen frowned deeply in the back, because if this formation was broken through, it was very likely to cause a collapse, and when the time came, the Yellow Turban would cover up and kill, then the soldiers and horses of the imperial court would definitely suffer heavy losses.

"Bonghyo, when should we attack." Ye Chen asked Guo Jia next to him.

"Lord, we are in a difficult situation now, attacking in advance can stop the Yellow Turban's offensive, but if the Han army behind can't keep up, then we will slowly fall into their encirclement, and then we will be in danger. If we attack too late, once the imperial army's army collapses, we alone will not be able to turn the tide, and it will not be of much use at that time. Guo Jia looked at the form in front of him and said.

"Okay, Fengxiao, then leave it to me here, you go to the rear first." Although Guo Jia is a top strategist, the situation in front of him is not good, and it is no longer something that can be solved by resourcefulness.

Ye Chen had been watching the changes in the battlefield, and at this time, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang had already penetrated into the Han army's camp, like two nails, nailed into the Han army's formation, and went deeper and deeper.

When Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao continued to go deeper into the Han army's camp, Ye Chen always felt that something was wrong.

At this time, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao had already led their troops to embed dozens of meters into the Han army's formation. At this time, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao did not continue to assault, but let the yellow scarf expand to both sides.

"It's not good, they are going to surround the Han army in the middle.

Ye Chen saw that Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao began to get closer, if they were allowed to get closer, then nearly 10,000 Han troops would be surrounded by them.

"Lord, are we going to save it?" Guan Yu asked on the side.

"No, it's not the time yet, now that the imperial army is blocking us, it's not easy for us to maneuver." Now the entire imperial court formation has not been penetrated, if the Han army is really surrounded, then there is also a layer of imperial court troops outside, so it is not easy for Ye Chen and them to attack directly.

However, Ye Chen also understood that when Ye Chen could start the assault, then the imperial army must have suffered great losses, or it might have collapsed.

Dong Zhuo also found out about the situation, but he didn't take any measures.

"Maybe you can keep the Yellow Turban Lux hole card." Zhang Jiao looked at the battle situation below and found that it was very smooth, Zhang Jiao had prepared the Yellow Turban Lux in order to deal with the Han army, but he didn't want to use it at this time.

Yellow Turban Lux is his ultimate hole card, the number of times he uses it is very small, and he uses it every time at the most critical time, and he uses it as little as he can, so he doesn't plan to use it this time.

"Kill it, surround it." Zhang Bao shouted.

Zhang Liang was not far from him, as long as the two of them converged, then the Han army in the middle would be surrounded by them.

The two fought hard to kill, and the Han army was gradually surrounded by them in the middle, and there were nearly 10,000 men and horses in the middle, if they did not rescue, then these 10,000 men and horses would be eaten by them.

"Lord, it's better to let the rest of the army withdraw, order the surrounded Han army to break through on their own, and we will re-establish the defensive line, and let our Xiliang men be ready on both flanks to attack the yellow turban at any time." Li Ru's suggestion was very simple, that is, to bury the 10,000 Han troops.

Bury the Han army that lost 10,000, and at the same time he can't have too much loss, so Li Ru suggested that he re-establish the defensive line in the rear, and at the same time let his Xiliang Iron Cavalry prepare to attack on both wings, if the Yellow Turban is not satisfied, then the Xiliang Iron Cavalry will give them a blow and kill and wound a large number of their men and horses.

"Okay, order the whole army to retreat." Dong Zhuo was ambitious and did not hesitate to bury the soldiers and horses of the imperial court in vain.

"What retreat ???"

"Didn't you see that there were 10,000 soldiers and horses surrounded inside??"

"The commander has an order, in order to avoid being broken up by the Yellow Turban Army and causing it to collapse, you must retreat and re-establish the defensive line in the rear."

Many generals were very puzzled by Dong Zhuo's order, but the people who came to give the order were very tough and had to retreat.

They can't help it, Dong Zhuo is powerful, and thinking of the fate of the captain who was promoted before, everyone's hearts are cold, knowing that if they don't carry out Dong Zhuo's orders, then they will be retaliated against by Dong Zhuo. But if you do it, you will be watching your comrades die in front of you.

"Second brother, Dong Zhuo actually ordered all the troops to retreat, and the imperial army surrounded in the middle will be eaten by them." Tai Shi Ci said angrily, he also received an order to retreat.

"Lord, what should I do?"

Ye Chen's face was gloomy, he didn't expect this Dong Zhuo to act like this, he completely regarded these soldiers as mustards, which made Ye Chen, who had always loved soldiers like children, unable to stand it.

In the end, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and said, "Withdraw first." ”

Although Tai Shi Ci and Guan Yu didn't understand why Ye Chen had to retreat, they chose to believe Ye Chen and began to order the escort battalion to retreat.

"What!! We are abandoned. ”

"Yes, Captain Liu, what the hell is Dong Zhuo going to do, I didn't see that we were surrounded."

Surrounded by two soldiers and horses, one with 5,000 men, saw that their troops began to retreat, they became the lone army surrounded by the yellow turbans, and they were very angry.

You don't have to think about it to know what will happen to them, they are surrounded by tens of thousands of yellow turbans, so even if they want to break through, I am afraid it will be very difficult, and now the morale of the soldiers has plummeted, it is good if they do not collapse.
