Chapter 205: Zhang Jiao's Scheme

Zhang Jiao was no longer able to support his Yellow Turban cause, so he wanted Zhang Liang to break out, but now the Han army is besieging the city on three sides, and it is obviously that the siege is missing one, and the city wall that is not surrounded is equally dangerous to go out.

But no matter what, you have to break through, and now the strength of the yellow turban has been greatly damaged, and it can no longer be trapped here.

Zhang Jiao stayed up all night, thinking about countermeasures, he found that there were no conditions for victory, and it was very difficult to even break through, because the Han army had several cavalry, and the strength of these cavalry was very strong.

When Dongfang turned white, Zhang Jiao sighed faintly and said to himself: "It seems that this is the only way." ”

After dawn, the Han army began to attack, and last night's attack did not stop until midnight, and today Huangfu Song intends to attack continuously, and several armies take turns to attack, not intending to let the Yellow Turban have a chance to breathe.

The two sides began to fight again, the Han army attacked fiercely at the beginning, which made the Yellow Turban under great pressure, Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo commanded the army to carry out rounds of strong attacks on the Yellow Turban, only Ye Chen was still unhurried and attacked according to his own steps.

Ye Chen's strategy is very simple, since the Yellow Turban is destined to perish, it is not bad for these few days, maintain military pressure, so that the Yellow Turban can not rest, and at the same time consume their strength, wait until Zhang Jiao dies of illness, and then wave the army to attack, and the battle can be defeated.

According to history, it didn't take long for Zhang Jiao to die of illness, although Zhang Jiao has been active in the city for the past two days, but this is even more abnormal, why did he go earlier, the yellow scarf life was not easy before, if Zhang Jiao can appear, it will definitely not be the current situation.

Now that the yellow scarf is critical, Zhang Jiao is extremely active, there must be a problem, Ye Chen guessed through observation what kind of drug he used to stimulate himself in the short term, if this is the case, it also indicates that Zhang Jiao's life will not be long.

"Lord, the other two city walls rushed up the city wall several times in half a day, and although they were all repulsed later, it can be expected that the yellow turban really had a serious problem." Guo Jia said.

Ye Chen nodded, he had a hunch that Zhang Jiao's body was really wrong, and he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to last a few days, so he would try his best to maintain his combat strength while maintaining pressure on the yellow scarf, so as not to let the soldiers be overly tired.

On the morning of the battle, the Han army attacked the city several times, and in the afternoon, the Yellow Turban defense was weaker, and the Han army was easy to attack, but at the most critical moment, the Yellow Turban always had reinforcements to kill the Han army.

Several waves of attacks were like this, Huangfu Song frowned, this phenomenon was weird and extremely abnormal, so he reported the situation to other directions, and asked Dong Zhuo and Ye Chen to report their situation.

The situation on Dong Zhuo's side was similar, but Ye Chen's attack had always been very conservative, and he only attacked the city twice, and both times he was driven down, but the Yellow Turban suffered a very large loss.

"Bonghyo, what do you say this horn is planning to do, why is it so." Ye Chen thought about it and didn't understand why this was happening.

"Lord, this shouldn't be. In fact, the yellow turban can strengthen the defense of the city wall, maybe the Han army has no ability to attack the city head at all, but they let the Han army attack it, and then rush down, as if it was intentional, for what, the attribute has not been expected. Guo Jia analyzed.

"Why is this horn like this?" Ye Chen didn't understand either, so he wanted to try it, launch a strong attack and try it, and see if he could try out Zhang Jiao's intentions.

"Order, carry out a storm, archers cover."

With Ye Chen's order, thousands of Han troops began to rush forward, and at the same time, the arrow array of the guard battalion also followed, covering up.

Soon, the Han army attacked the head of the city, and there were not many yellow turbans on it, and after a while they occupied a small section of the city, and it was constantly expanding.

When occupying one-third of the city, a yellow turban rushed out on both sides of the city, this yellow turban was very strong, the two sides began to fight fiercely, and the Han army under the city continued to pour up, but it was difficult to continue to expand the city wall.

A tug-of-war between the two sides ensued over the city, with soldiers dying and then being replenished by soldiers from behind.

Although the Han army continued to replenish the soldiers, it was unable to expand the results of the battle, of course, it meant that it was unable to expand the occupation of the city wall, but the number of enemies killed would not be less, and the combat strength of the Han army after Ye Chen's training was obviously much higher, at least they could cooperate with each other better, so the Yellow Turbans still died more.

Despite this, Ye Chen still felt that it was very uneconomical, the yellow scarf had a geographical advantage, it was simple to supplement, and it could be replenished continuously, while the Han army had to climb the city wall, once the speed slowed down, the advantage of the troops on the city head would be gone, and then the Han army above would be dangerous.

"It can't be like this, it's too much of a loss."

"Well, my lord, it seems that the Yellow Turban deliberately let us go up, and then fight on it, draining our troops. But it doesn't make sense if that's the case, as long as we hold the walls, it will consume our troops even more, and their damage will be much less. Guo Jia said.

"Drain troops?" This thought swirled in Ye Chen's mind, and he felt that the problem was here.

Isn't Zhang Jiao consuming troops by doing this, it is not only the strength of the Han army that is consumed, it is agreed that it is the strength of the Yellow Turbans, if he defends the city, then he can consume a large number of Han troops in a few days, and his own losses will be much smaller.

In this way, the Han army was put on the city wall, and then fought fiercely on it, although the Han army consumed a lot, but the yellow turban also consumed a lot, which was very uneconomical, and would not be done under normal circumstances.

"No, no. Normally not, but what about not? Ye Chen felt as if he had caught something.

"That's right, Zhang Jiao doesn't have a few days to live in history, what if he only has a few days to live? So will he do it? The more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, and Ye Chen made a bold assumption.

If Zhang Jiao only has a few days to live, and he knows that he will be defeated by the Yellow Turban, then he must make arrangements and may break through, but the Han army will not let him break through, so he has to find a way, and his method is to consume a large number of Han army's troops and make them unable to break through.

Will that be the case? Is it really that simple? Once the siege is broken, then several cavalry of the Han army can stick to it, and when the time comes, in the field, the advantages of the cavalry will be brought into play, then the yellow scarves will not be able to run if they want to, and the end will be even worse.

Thinking about it like this, Ye Chen also felt that it was wrong, but he knew that this must be Zhang Jiao's conspiracy, so he first ordered the troops to withdraw, since Zhang Jiao wanted him to attack and consume their troops, then Ye Chen was remote and did not let them get their wish.

"Lord, have you found anything?" Guo Jia asked.

"Alas, except for knowing that the other party is deliberately consuming our troops, we have gained nothing, and I really don't know what Zhang Jiao is thinking. But since he wants to consume our forces, we will not attack in the middle of nowhere. ”
