Chapter 207: The End
Zhang Jiao ordered the Yellow Turban to start trying to break through, but Huangfu Song and Dong Zhuo were all suddenly attacked by the Yellow Turban and had to resist hard to block them, and they couldn't distinguish the rest of the troops at all.
And Ye Chen was different, he had already prepared, the two men and horses had already stopped the Yellow Turban's collision, and the Han army in the rear also quickly came up to support, stabilized the position, and firmly blocked the Yellow Turban's way.
The escort battalion had not yet joined the battle, and they became the only army in the entire Han army. Originally, according to Zhang Jiao's strategy, as long as Ye Chen continued to attack and continue to consume troops, then their last strength would definitely not be enough, and that cavalry would have to join the battle.
"Report, lord, there is a yellow scarf at the north gate quietly going out of the city." A guard battalion scout arrived.
"How many are there?"
"About three thousand people." The scout replied to Ye Chen.
"Lord, I'm afraid that the Yellow Turban is so arranged so that these three thousand people can escape, and there may be important people in the Yellow Turban." Guo Jia immediately analyzed.
"Oh, then we'll go after it." Ye Chen said.
"Well, anyway, our escort battalion doesn't need to participate in the battle for the time being." Guo Jia said.
"Second brother, that's Zhang Jiao." Tai Shi Ci pointed his spear at the head of the city and said.
"What?" Ye Chen looked over, and sure enough, Zhang Jiao was on the head of the city.
"Lord, I'm afraid we can't go after the fleeing yellow scarf, because Zhang Jiao is here." Guo Jia sighed and said, he had already understood all of Zhang Jiao's strategies, but even if he understood, they couldn't help it now.
The reason is very simple, the importance of Zhang Jiao is extraordinary, and now that the main forces of the Yellow Turban have been annihilated one after another, the most important thing is Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao is dead, then the rest of the yellow scarves are remnants, otherwise even if the yellow scarves in the whole world are destroyed, and Zhang Jiao runs away, then the extermination of the yellow scarves will not be completed, and the whole work will not be completed.
If Zhang Jiao dies and the main force of the Yellow Turban is destroyed, then the battle to exterminate the Yellow Turban can be declared victorious, if Ye Chen and they leave at this time, and Zhang Jiao takes the opportunity to run, then they can't afford this responsibility.
Even if the escort battalion stayed where it was and didn't do anything in the end, it couldn't leave at this time to chase after the thousands of Yellow Turban remnants who didn't know what important people were.
Zhang Jiao also understood this, he saw that the guard battalion did not join the battle, so he deliberately stood on the head of the city, so that the Han army below could find out, and sure enough, after the Han army found him, the cavalry did not move.
"Send scouts to keep an eye on that cavalry, and the escort battalion to help destroy the Yellow Turbans with arrows on the perimeter." Now that he knew all of Zhang Jiao's plans, Ye Chen was relieved.
If he didn't know it, Ye Chen would still be timid, but now that he knew all the plans, there was no need to hide it, Ye Chen decisively launched an attack.
The escort battalion circled outside, and the right opportunity was a rain of arrows, and the power of the arrow rain was huge, especially at this time when the yellow turban had neither the protection of the city wall nor the shield.
"You are indeed my Yellow Turban nemesis." Zhang Jiao looked at the guard battalion below and said.
Because the guard battalion suffered huge losses to the yellow turbans at this time, Zhang Jiao not only covered Zhang Liang and the others, but with the guard battalion there, this wish could not be achieved after all.
Zhang Jiao is not sure whether Zhang Liang and the others can escape smoothly, once they can't hold out for long, Ye Chen and they will inevitably let the cavalry chase after them, and they may not be able to run far before they will be caught up.
Ye Chen's side began to encircle and kill the Yellow Turban, and the infantry set up a position to block the Yellow Turban, and carried out the encirclement and encroachment in an orderly and rhythmic manner.
The Yellow Turban is very crazy, maybe knowing that this is their last moment, they all launched a crazy and lifeless impact, Rao is Ye Chen They were prepared, and the formation was also disrupted several times, but there was a guard battalion, once the Yellow Turban was more powerful, the arrow rain of the guard battalion would go to which side.
Therefore, although the Yellow Turbans destroyed the formation of the Han army several times, they were never able to break through, and the existence of the guard battalion had seriously threatened the survival of the Yellow Turbans.
Zhang Jiao sighed at the head of the city, he was powerless to change all this, now there were hundreds of soldiers around him, and the rest were sent out, what else could he do.
When Ye Chen was besieging and killing the Yellow Turban, Huang Fu Song was still fighting with the Yellow Turban, he was on the offensive, and it was difficult to turn to the defense, and it was really impossible to block the Yellow Turban at once, so Huang Fu Song could only form a formation while fighting, form a defensive formation in the rear, and then slowly besiege the Yellow Turban.
At first, Huangfu Song's casualties were very large, and it was not until the formation of a formation later that he gradually gained the advantage.
And Dong Zhuo will be much better than Huangfu Song, because he didn't attack with all his strength, leaving a lot of leeway, but he didn't prepare, how could he never have thought that the Yellow Turban would choose to break through at this time, so he was also caught off guard.
However, his troops were also sufficient, coupled with the fierce soldiers of Xiliang, and later the cavalry team in the rear joined, slowly overpowering the Yellow Turbans and gaining the advantage.
However, Dong Zhuo is also very depressed, he wants to preserve his strength, but now he has to fight with the Yellow Turban, and he can't release the water yet, if he lets the Yellow Turban go at this time, then it will be troublesome afterwards.
However, Dong Zhuo dared to do it, after the infantry in front blocked the Yellow Turban, the cavalry in the rear began to form a team, and after the whole team was completed, they began to charge the Yellow Turban, and it was wave after wave of impact. (2)miào(2)bi.*(2)ge(2),
Dong Zhuo's crazy style of play made the Yellow Turban begin to scatter, and it was easy to be divided and annihilated as soon as the people and horses dispersed, but the Yellow Turban did not have a good command and has not been able to resist effectively.
In fact, Dong Zhuo's style of play has many advantages and disadvantages, once it is blocked, it will affect a wave of cavalry behind, then the cavalry will be easily trapped, but the yellow turban has no effective command, and does not surround the cavalry, but let the cavalry wreak havoc in the ranks.
After the Yellow Turban was dispersed, the fierce side of the Xiliang soldiers was exposed, they frantically pounced on it, and slaughtered the Yellow Turban, they were even more crazy than the Yellow Turban, bloodthirsty, even more crazy after killing, and stronger in combat.
The Yellow Turban lost its command, where did it suffer such a crazy blow, and a small part began to collapse, but in the face of heavy encirclement, they couldn't run, and finally died under the knife of Xiliang soldiers.
The news reached Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao closed his eyes, listened to the shouting and killing, and sighed with emotion for a while, the ambition of the past, with his old age, the collapse of his body, everything became smoke and rain, and now it is really the last moment of the yellow scarf.
The yellow scarf below gradually decreased, and the resistance became weaker and weaker, Zhang Jiao sighed, and walked down the city wall alone.
After descending the city wall, he did not let the rest of the yellow scarves follow, and walked out of the city gate alone. At this time, part of the Yellow Turbans were annihilated, and some surrendered to the Han army.
