Chapter 206: Zhang Jiao wants to break through?
Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo continued to attack, and Ye Chen stopped attacking after they withdrew, except for a part of the strict defense, the rest began to rest. [≤ eight [≤ eight [≤ read [≤ book, .▽.o√
Ye Chen suddenly stopped attacking, which made Zhang Jiao very nervous, and he immediately rushed over.
Zhang Jiao found that Ye Chen had arranged two men and horses to defend, and the rest rested in the back, of course, he did not remove his armor, once the situation changed, he could immediately enter the battle, and the escort battalion also dismounted to rest.
"Could it be that the sky is going to die, and the yellow turban can't even leave the last bit of seed?" Zhang Jiao looked at Ye Chen and said sadly.
Zhang Jiao naturally had his purpose in consuming the troops of both sides like this, but now that Ye Chen and the others were not attacking, then his plan naturally could not be achieved, so he could only find another way.
In fact, Zhang Jiao already knew that the Yellow Turban would be defeated, so he had to think about the way back, he wanted to keep Zhang Liang, his only younger brother, and he also wanted to protect the next batch of Taiping Dao seeds, looking forward to the Yellow Turban's comeback in the future.
But in the face of the encirclement of tens of thousands of Han troops, how can he break through? In particular, there were several cavalry armies, and if they escaped and were pursued by the Han cavalry, then none of them could escape.
Ye Chen and they did not attack, but the other two directions were still continuing, and the Han army continued to attack and fight fiercely on it, and the loss of troops on both sides was very fast.
"Lord, you can't do this, the consumption of troops is too great, these are our Xiliang's disciples." Li Ru watched the group of soldiers rush up the city wall, and then they didn't come down, and said distressedly.
"What then, stop attacking? If this can be stormed into the city, the credit will be great, and maybe it will be able to go further when the time comes. "Although Dong Zhuo's troops are huge, the temptation to attack the city is still great for him.
"Lord, military power is everything, and if you don't have military power, even if you give you the position of the third duke, it's useless." Li Ru persuaded.
Dong Zhuo reacted after thinking about it, and hurriedly stopped the attack of the troops, but at the end of the day, the loss of troops was actually one-third, which made him very distressed and regretful.
"Lord, I heard that Ye Chen had stopped attacking at noon, maybe he saw something." Li Ru said.
"Oh, why don't you send someone to ask." Dong Zhuohu said suspiciously.
"My lord, we just need to preserve the troops, and we have soldiers in hand, and we will not respond to all changes."
"Well, okay, then we'll also order the troops to rest."
In this way, Dong Zhuo also stopped attacking, so now only Huang Fu Song is still attacking, even if Huang Fu Song sees that Zhang Jiao is deliberately consuming their troops, he will not hesitate to attack, his task is to eliminate the Yellow Turban.
Although this is a lot of cost, it is much better than the Yellow Turbans defending the city wall, and they are attacking it, so it is only consumed quickly, and the overall consumption is much smaller than that of the Yellow Turbans defending the city wall.
Of course, Huangfu Song wouldn't know that Zhang Jiao was just going to grab time, his time was running out, he only had more than a day to live, and if he didn't hurry up and find a way, the yellow scarf would collapse.
Zhang Jiao put the Han army on the city wall and fought fiercely on the city wall, so that the fighting forces could be controlled, if he went out of the city to fight, the battle of more than 100,000 people was easy to get out of control, and then he would not be able to control everything like now.
Ye Chen stopped attacking early because he felt that Zhang Jiao was rushing for time, because he didn't have a few days to live in history. But Ye Chen would not have thought that he would only use the secret method for three days.
Huang Fu Song knew that Ye Chen and Dong Zhuo had stopped attacking, and sent someone to ask, Ye Chen replied that he would take a break and attack at night, Huang Fu Song knew that Ye Chen had taken advantage of the attack at night before, and attacking at night had a great advantage for Ye Chen.
Huangfu Song would not think that Ye Chen wanted to be passive and slack off, along the way, Ye Chen had made too many contributions to the eradication of the Yellow Turban, so he still trusted Ye Chen very much.
Dong Zhuo returned to Huangfu Song and said that the loss of troops was too great and he needed to rest. As soon as Huangfu Song heard it, he knew that he wanted to preserve his strength, where could he tolerate him like this, and ordered Dong Zhuo to continue the attack.
Dong Zhuodai was guilty and did not dare to disobey, so he continued to attack, but this time he was not so active and only sent a small number of troops to attack.
It was slowly getting dark, and the two sides fought fiercely for a day, and each of them suffered 30,000 or 40,000 casualties, which showed that the battle was tragic, and Ye Chen's side also killed thousands of people, he stopped the attack early and let the soldiers take turns to rest, otherwise they don't know how many people will die.
When night fell, Huangfu Song had not stopped attacking, and he looked like he would not stop destroying the yellow scarf.
"Third brother, are you ready?" After nightfall, Zhang Jiao called Zhang Liang to explain the matter.
"Big brother, are you really not going to go with us?" Zhang Liang said crying.
"First of all, my life has been exhausted, even if I am not exhausted, I can't go with you, the court of this Han Dynasty will not let me go, and they will not give up without seeing my corpse; Besides, as a great sage and mentor, I couldn't lead them to victory, and I had to accompany them on this last journey. Zhang Jiao said expressionlessly.
"Okay, third brother, don't talk about this, if you can live, go back to Jing'er, the Taiping technique is also on her, let her not take revenge, her mission is to live well and pass on this strange book."
"Yes, big brother." Zhang Liang couldn't be persuaded to do so, so he gave up.
"Tonight, I will send you out later, there is a team of Yellow Turban wrestlers following you, and you will leave resolutely, then Ye Chen is not fooled, he has a strong cavalry, and your breakthrough this time is actually very dangerous, but I will try my best to drag them down."
Zhang Jiao explained some things to Zhang Liang again, and asked him to prepare.
Zhang Jiao began to mobilize all the forces that could be mobilized.
In addition to Zhang Liang with thousands of elite people, there are also a few Taiping Dao descendants, and the rest of the people were divided into three parts by Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao waved his hand and said, "Open the city gate." ”
The city gate slowly opened, alarming several Han troops, and Ye Chen had already ordered everyone to get ready.
"Kill." A group of yellow turbans rushed out of each of the city gates, and a steady stream of them poured out of the city gates.
"Ready, defensive." Ye Chen: After all, they were prepared and reacted the fastest. There were two men and horses in front of them, and the yellow turbans couldn't rush over, and the Han army behind just rested on the spot and could enter the battle in a few minutes, while the escort battalion could turn over and mount their horses.
Dong Zhuo and Huangfu Song were still somewhat caught off guard, but their military formation was not chaotic, and they quickly stabilized and blocked the yellow scarves that rushed out.
In fact, Zhang Jiao's strategy is very simple, just to stick to them and give Zhang Liang a chance to break out. The reason why he consumed so many troops before was because the Han army had too many troops, and he couldn't stick to them even if he had a yellow scarf.
After consuming a large number of their infantry, they want to surround the Yellow Turbans in three ways, then their cavalry will not dare to pursue Zhang Liang, otherwise these Yellow Turbans will break through.
Therefore, after Zhang Jiao sent troops out of the city, he made a breakthrough to confuse the Han army.
