Chapter 148: Zhang Bao abandons the city

"The leader of the traitors, Zhang Jiao, is dead, and you still want to resist stubbornly?"

This sentence made the hearts of many Yellow Turban soldiers cold.

They had been staying in Xiaquyang City all these days, and they also knew that the great sages and good teachers on Guangzong's side were confronting the officers and soldiers.

After saying that, all the officers and soldiers are concentrated in Guangzong, and now the officers and soldiers can attack quietly, what else is impossible?

Zhang Jiao publicized the Taiping Road, penetrated into the hearts of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans, and believed in the spiritual beliefs of the Jizhou Yellow Turbans.

In history, the 100,000 Yellow Turbans in Xiaquyang City surrendered, not only because of Huangfu Song's sharp attack.

Zhang Jiao's illness and death had too much impact on the entire Yellow Turban team.

"Yesterday, I still wrote with General Tiangong, my brother is safe and sound, and everything is fine with Guangzong. The officers and soldiers reversed black and white, just to confuse our army's heart, don't believe it! I have sent cavalry to ask Guangzong for help, and reinforcements will arrive soon. For the sake of today, we should fight to the death. ”

Zhang Baoshan, the general of Rengong, arrived late, and he was very good at commanding the troops, and temporarily stabilized the morale of the army without knowing the enemy's strength.

Zhang Jiao asked Zhang Bao to stick to Xia Quyang alone, and he and Zhang Liang guarded Guangzong. It can be seen that Zhang Jiao recognizes Zhang Bao's ability very much.

Zhang Bao did not disappoint Zhang Jiao, when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the Jizhou military, he tightly contained Dong Zhuo in Xiaquyang, creating a chance for Zhang Jiao to win.

Under the leadership of Zhang Bao, the Yellow Turban soldiers slowly organized their combat strength, but they were still not the opponents of the Han army, and they retreated again and again.

In the streets and alleys, you can see the figure of the battle, the firelight illuminates the whole city, and the shouting of killing shocks the sky.

An hour later, half of the city was occupied by officers and soldiers. The living space of nearly 100,000 yellow turbans was slowly compressed, so that Zhang Bao had to order some yellow scarves to withdraw from Xiaquyang City.

When you meet on a narrow road, the brave wins!

One side is fierce, armor is strong, and it is unstoppable!

One side is scattered, lacks armor, and is afraid to move forward!

Fighting in the city, it is useless to have a large number of people, the key is to look at the combat effectiveness, so in the battle of fortifications, once it is attacked into the city, it is almost impossible to turn over.

Seeing that victory was hopeless, Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and made a decision.

The whole army withdrew from Xiaquyang City!

The army of 100,000 is completely spread out within a radius of more than ten miles.

The defense of the city is acceptable, and it is impossible to engage officers and soldiers in the city.

After all the Yellow Turbans of Xia Quyang escaped from the city, it meant that the battle could end temporarily.

"Guo Taishou, do you want to chase after the victory? Expand your results! Guan Yu asked Guo Dian.

"General Zhengbei knows that it is not easy to annihilate the enemy with 10,000 infantry, and our order is to capture Quyang City. If the city of Quyang is broken, it will not affect the strategy of the general of Zhengbei. Zhang Bao's people fled from Xiaquyang City in a hurry, and they didn't carry much food? Guo Dian hit the nail on the head.

"From Xiaquyang to Guangzong, the army walked for at least four days. Zhang Bao knew that he was very powerful, and he would definitely not go to Guangzong. If I were Zhang Bao, I would definitely gather troops to counterattack Quyang. Fight to the death. Guan Yu said solemnly, his implication was obvious, Zhang Bao might gather troops to counterattack Quyang.

Zhang Bao was short of food, and it was estimated that he had not yet arrived in Guangzong with an army of nearly 100,000 troops, and he was so hungry that he couldn't get up. Even if you go to the vicinity to burn, kill and loot, it is impossible to gather the food of the 100,000 army in a short time.

Zhang Bao now has only one way to go except waiting for Zhang Jiao's support, and counterattack Quyang.

It's a matter of success or failure!

"Report!"

As soon as Guan Yu's voice fell, a soldier came to report: "Report to Guo Taishou, Guan Sima, and Zhang Bao when they escaped from Xiaquyang, destroy the eastern, southern, and northern gates of Xiaquyang. Our army will not be able to recast the gates for a short time. ”

"Zhang Bao, this thief, is quite a means! What Guan Sima said was good, Zhang Bao left behind and was about to counterattack Quyang. Guo Dian frowned and said: "Today's battle, although the Yellow Turban has suffered more than 10,000 casualties, most of the main force of the Yellow Turban is still there. If it is well prepared, it will be extremely unfavorable to our army to attack it from four gates. ”

"Preemptively, secondly! Our army temporarily rested until dawn, after dawn, took the initiative to attack, Guo Taishou led the main force to face Zhang Bao's army, I still led a thousand warriors straight into Zhang Bao's abdomen, and captured the thief first to capture the king. Guan Yu suggested to Guo Dian.

"Fortunately, Yun Chang is long, otherwise I will be tricky."

Guo Dian agreed with Guan Yu's suggestion and sighed.

His 10,000 elite soldiers are either the elite Northern Army or the elite soldiers under Liu Fan, and Guo Dian has a deep sense of the strong combat power, and he is not afraid of fighting with the Yellow Turbans that are ten times more than himself.

Guo Dian is proficient in the art of war and knows that he has all the conditions to win more with less.

At the moment, Guo Dian ordered some soldiers to monitor the movements of Zhang Bao's yellow scarf, and some went into the city to find a place to rest.

After the yellow turban escaped two miles from the gates, he did not flee again. Zhang Bao regrouped and wanted to make a comeback.

lost the city of Xiaquyang, and faced Zhang Jiao without shame. Due to the hasty escape, he almost did not carry food and baggage, so that Zhang Bao faced a great survival dilemma.

At the moment of leaving the city, Zhang Bao thought of a strategy to counterattack Quyang. Today's situation is a desperate gamble.

Zhang Bao did not immediately give the order for a counterattack, and just escaped, the army's morale was still unstable. But it can't be delayed, and the longer it drags on, the worse it will be for them.

The sun is shining three poles, and it is when he blows the horn of counterattack.

The white horse passes through the gap, and the sunrise and dawn in the blink of an eye.

The Han army buried the grain in the city to make food, and most of the yellow turbans did not bring food out, so they could only go hungry.

After the Han army had eaten and drunk enough, they quickly gathered their troops out of the city and confronted the Yellow Turbans.

The officers and soldiers went out of the city, which surprised Zhang Bao, in his budget, the main force of officers and soldiers was stationed in Guangzong, and there would not be many officers and soldiers who came to sneak attack.

When the officers and soldiers listed the formation, Zhang Bao observed the phalanx of officers and soldiers, nearly 10,000 people.

"Our army is ten times as many officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers want to shake the tree, and they can't measure themselves!" Zhang Bao took the opportunity to boost morale.

"Our army is the elite of the Han Dynasty, the soldiers are strong and the armor is sharp, and the yellow scarves are ragged, like beggars. Every warrior in our army is ten times stronger than the Yellow Turban, and it is not impossible to defeat ten with one. Guo Dian also boosted morale.

With one enemy and ten, the Han army may not be able to defeat the Yellow Turbans alone, but this is a legion battle. It is compared to the commander's command ability, the soldier's combat power, and the ability to cooperate between military formations.

The Han army won a great victory, and the Yellow Turban was a remnant of the defeated army.

The two sides are tense, and the big battle is about to break out!

……

Gwangjong.

A herald ran out of Liu Fan's tent and rode towards Quzhou County.

"General Wuheng Zhonglang, you led 10,000 infantry, rushed to Xiaquyang City in the north, marched at a flat pace, and waited for my order." Liu Fan ordered the sect members.

"No!" The sect member received the order.

"Captain Tuncai, Captain Yuecai, Captain Changshui, and the three of you led four thousand cavalry to follow General Wuheng Zhonglang, and as soon as I gave the order, I acted immediately." Liu Fan ordered the third lieutenant.

"No!" The three of them were commanded.

The remaining 15,000 soldiers guarded the Chinese army. The immortal merit is today. Your merits, I will keep in mind, and I will ask Your Majesty to reward them one by one! At the end, Liu Fan said loudly.

"The general is mighty, and the Han army will win!" The whole battalion chanted.

The officers and soldiers who had been silent for a long time in the eyes of the yellow scarf finally moved.

10,000 infantry and 40,000 cavalry rushed to the north with great fanfare.

At the same time, several horsemen rushed down from the north and entered Gwangjong City.
