Chapter 175: Attack on Guangzong
"The court ordered me to come here to command the army and exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves, and I swear here that I will exterminate the Yellow Turbans and behead the three brothers of Zhang Jiao to repay the court's kindness." Dong Zhuo said impassionedly at the upper seat.
After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, his sharp eyes swept over everyone's faces, and when he saw everyone's expressions, he was quite satisfied.
Then Dong Zhuo said: "The court treats us well, we should all repay the court with death, so the general decided to start the onslaught on the Yellow Turban early tomorrow morning, and strive to destroy the Yellow Turban thief as soon as possible." ”
Dong Zhuo landed on the ground, and at the end, he slapped the table with his palm hard, which startled the people below.
Ye Chen's face was as usual, but he scolded Dong Zhuo several times in his heart, it was his decision that made the entire Han Dynasty greatly damaged, but as long as Dong Zhuo did not infringe on his interests, Ye Chen did not plan to turn his face against him.
"General, now that the Yellow Turban is powerful, it is really not suitable to go to war at this time." After Dong Zhuo finished speaking, a general came out and said.
As soon as the lieutenant finished speaking, Dong Zhuo's face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "The thief is right in front of you, how can you be afraid, you must fight tomorrow." ”
"General, Lord Lu Zhi has already arranged it before, as long as we wait patiently, we will be able to break the yellow turban, if we attack rashly, the consequences are unpredictable." The captain was not afraid of Dong Zhuo's strength, and still insisted on speaking.
"Lu Zhi has been convicted and imprisoned, the crime is to exterminate the Yellow Turban is ineffective, you wait like this, how different from him, tomorrow you will take the lead in the battle, and order your army must give me the courage to kill the enemy, otherwise the military law will be ruthless."
Ye Chen glanced at the captain of the school with sadness, obviously Dong Zhuo wanted to take someone to stand up, he chose Ye Chen before, but the person next to him said a few words to him, so he gave up, and now he began to arrange the battle, and some people jumped out to oppose it, of course Dong Zhuo had to raise the butcher knife.
The lieutenant saw that the opposition was invalid, and he also understood Dong Zhuo's plan, so he was angry, but he didn't speak again.
"Tomorrow, the whole army will fight, although they dare to be lazy, the military law is ruthless." In the end, Dong Zhuo made the final decision and settled the matter.
Ye Chen's worst fears finally happened, but now he couldn't stop Dong Zhuo, so he could only try to save himself.
"Report, the Han army on the opposite side has begun to move, depending on the attack." A small leader of the Yellow Turban ran in and reported to Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao's pale face showed a hint of joy and said: "Okay, the Han army is finally willing to move, if they don't move, I really can't do anything about him, Lu Zhi's old man has two hits, I haven't been able to find a chance, now that the Han army is attacking, then we have a chance, as long as these Han troops are annihilated, we can attack Luoyang." ”
Zhang Jiao seemed very happy, because he had been confronting the Han army for a long time, and the daily consumption was very large, and such an army of 100,000 looked at him, once there was a small negligence, then there was a danger of annihilation.
"Big brother, why did the Han army suddenly attack." Zhang Bao asked.
"Before, Lu Zhi asked for guilt, thinking that the new commander of the Han Army had arrived, but I didn't expect that the new coach would help us a lot as soon as he came." Zhang Jiao said to Zhang Bao.
"Big brother, what are we going to do next?"
"Let the Han army attack first, dampen their spirit, and then find an opportunity to counterattack." Zhang Jiao said as he walked out, he wanted to go up to the city wall to see what the level of the new commander was.
Zhang Jiao and others came to the city wall, and at this time Dong Zhuo had already commanded the army to surround Guangzong and arranged the siege team.
Fortunately, Ye Chen was not arranged to attack, otherwise he would have jumped to his feet, and he was not optimistic about this battle.
Dong Zhuo pulled out the saber at his waist, pointed forward, and shouted: "Break through Guangzong and capture Zhang Jiao alive." ”
The offensive began, and the Han army was armed with several thousand people, and the follow-up troops were also preparing.
The Han army began to storm the city wall with a ladder, but the yellow scarves on the city wall were obviously fully prepared, and before they reached the city, the archers above had already begun to shoot, although the Han army was also prepared, but many people were still killed by arrows.
Wait until the bottom of the city wall, although the archers can't attack, but the Han army is still not much better, the stones and rolling wood on it are obviously sufficient, and the Han army will come to a wave of saturation attacks under the city wall, and the Han army will suffer heavy losses.
"Pay attention to dodge, the one behind is well defended with a shield, fast, fast." A lieutenant directs his troops to attack.
Ye Chen watched from a distance, and saw that the one who led the people to attack the city wall was the captain who confronted Dong Zhuo yesterday, obviously Dong Zhuo really used him as a chicken to slaughter, but that person was also tough, attacked with the troops, and commanded very well.
It's just that the defense of the city wall is really not weak, Ye Chen saw him attack for half an hour, and he had already lost half of his men and horses.
"Fengxiao, attacking like this, I'm afraid it's useless to fill in all the soldiers and horses." also watched the Han army attack the city from behind and said.
"Lord, I didn't expect this Dong Zhuo to be so reckless, I'm afraid the Han army is in danger." Guo Jia couldn't figure out why Dong Zhuo was like this.
At the head of the city, Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang stood together to watch the Han army attack the city.
Zhang Jiao nodded as he watched, with a light smile on his face.
"Big brother, the Han army is attacking so fiercely, do you want to attack the city in one fell swoop?" Zhang Bao asked on the side.
"Although the attack of the Han army was fierce and orderly, it was far worse than Lu Zhilai. If Lu Zhi came to attack the city, I am afraid that both sides would lose in the end, but they..." said Zhang Jiao sneered a few times, obviously not looking at the Han army below.
The Han army attacked the city wall wave by wave, and the Han army was trained and had rules, but Guangzong's yellow turban was also a trained elite, and the materials for defending the city were well prepared.
Dong Zhuo watched the Han army's huge casualties from behind, but he didn't frown, and still ordered the troops to attack continuously.
Although the casualties of the Yellow Turbans in the city were also not small, the Han army's attack methods were obviously more casualties, and it was really unwise to fight so hard.
Zhang Jiao in the city didn't even send the most elite Yellow Turban wrestlers, but just let the ordinary Yellow Turban elites defend the city, as for those ordinary Yellow Turbans who had not undergone any training, most of them had been consumed in the previous battles.
The Han army was like this, from morning to night, it has been attacking, although the strategy was later adjusted, but the casualties were still huge, at the end of the day, there were more than 10,000 casualties. Especially the captain who confronted Dong Zhuo yesterday, it is estimated that he was angry in his heart, and he wanted to fight with Dong Zhuo for a breath, and he kept attacking fiercely without a trace of hesitation.
In the end, although he caused a lot of casualties to the Yellow Turban, he himself was completely wiped out, and even he was hit by a rolling log when he hit the city wall, fell off the city wall, and fell to his death.
Many of the generals below were very dissatisfied with Dong Zhuo's approach, but they all dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, because the rear of the army was tens of thousands of Xiliang iron cavalry led by Dong Zhuo himself.
Dong Zhuo is powerful and ferocious, and he is a legitimate coach, so many people endure it.
