Chapter 61: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole

On October 17, Zhang Jiao died of a serious illness, and the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City was in a state of silence, and the spirit banner had been hung up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The Yellow Turban Army at the head of the city also tied a white head rope, and the Yellow Turban flag was also hung with white flowers.

From the end of the first month to the middle of October, the Yellow Turban was like a flash in the pan, and soon came to an end, with the spread of the news of Zhang Jiao's death, many cottages that were originally attached to the Yellow Turban Army announced their separation from the Yellow Turban Army.

When Zhang Bao got the news, he cried to death and vowed to avenge Zhang Jiao.

"It's a shame that he can figure it out, and he can take revenge!" Jiang Sheng was ridiculous at Zhang Bao's slogan.

Yu Ban said: "Zhang Jiao went against the sky, this is a curse from God, Zhang Bao will find God to take revenge." ”

"Yes, there is a debtor who has been wronged, and Zhang Bao is about to take revenge, and soon he will follow Zhang Jiao." Jiang Sheng said.

"Newspaper—" The guards came to report.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Sheng asked.

"General Huangfu Zhonglang ordered Jiang Shengbu to move to Guangzong West thirty miles west of tomorrow before sunset, there must be no mistake!"

"Got it, stand down." Jiang Sheng's face turned cold.

"Lord, General Zhonglang is planning to launch an attack when Zhang Jiao is dead and the army in the city is unstable!" In the forbidden road.

"Well, that's not right."

"Why?"

"Zhang Jiao is dead, the yellow turbans in the city are excited, and the mourning soldiers will win. At this time, if it is a siege, it will be a situation where the fish will die and the net will be broken, and it is not worth it. In time, the Yellow Turbans will inevitably split, and when our army takes advantage of the weakness, the overall situation can be determined. ”

"Then what should we do with this military order?"

"Of course it has to be executed, Guangzong will fight sooner or later."

On the second day, Jiang Sheng's department totaled more than 13,000 people out of the city, and the camp had been built before sunset.

"Why not?" Huangfu Song did not understand Jiang Sheng's proposal not to attack for the time being.

Jiang Sheng told Huang Fu Song what he thought, and Huang Fu Song felt reasonable, so he postponed the siege plan originally scheduled for Zhang Jiao's funeral by ten days.

On the battlefield on the southern front, Zhu Jun sent the main force to encircle Wancheng, and sent a small force to cooperate with the Jingzhou official army to clear the Yellow Turban Army in Jingzhou, and the results were also remarkable in the past two months.

Judging from the entire battle situation, Wancheng was already an isolated city, isolated and helpless, and the official army ushered in the Huaisi elite soldiers led by Sun Jian, and their strength increased greatly.

After the news of Zhang Jiao's illness and death reached Jingzhou, Zhu Jun thought it was a good opportunity, so he waved his army to storm Wancheng.

Zhao Hong heard that Zhang Jiao was dead, he was uncertain, and when he heard that the official army was coming to attack, he hurriedly went to the city to organize a defense, and temporarily repelled the attack of the official army, but he did not expect that this wave of officers and troops would retreat, and another wave of officers and troops would attack again, which was completely a method of wheel warfare, but Zhao Hong did not dare to divide his troops to meet in turn.

After sixteen attacks, the officers and troops climbed to the top of the city and tore a gap. Zhao Hong, who was supervising the battle at the head of the city, was slashed by the officers and soldiers, and the morale of the officers and soldiers increased greatly, and they went to the city one after another.

After Han Zhong got the news of Zhao Hong's death, he hurriedly led his own guards to rush to the city wall, and after a bloody battle, he killed all the four or five hundred officers and soldiers who rushed to the city, and Wancheng was still under the control of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhao Hong was dead, and the Yellow Turban in the city elected Han Zhong as the commander, Han Zhong threw most of his troops on the city wall, guarded the city in shifts day and night, and mobilized the people in the city to make arrows, rolling wood and other things. Many of the people did not obey, and they were all victimized by the yellow scarf.

Zhu Jun was invincible, and his heart was irritable, so he ordered all his troops to attack in turn without stopping, but they all failed, and at Xu Xuan's suggestion, the officers and troops stopped the futile battle.

At both ends of the table, on the day of Zhang Jiao's funeral, the wind and snow were blowing, even if Jiang Sheng did not dissuade him, Huangfu Song would cancel the plan to attack Guangzong, and the weather was really not suitable.

Three days later, the sky cleared, and Huang Fu Song decided to launch an attack in advance, and Zhang Liang could not be given seven days to prepare in vain.

Huangfu Song ordered Jiang Sheng to attack the west gate, and the main force of the official army attacked the east gate and the south gate, due to Zhang Bao's containment, Huang Fu Song did not organize an attack on the north gate in order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, and the siege was missing one, which is the most basic common sense.

The attacks did not work, and the Yellow Turbans in the city held on under the leadership of Zhang Liang and the commanders of the various departments, and as many as 2,000 Yellow Turban soldiers died in the city.

The losses of the officers and troops were even more serious than those of the Yellow Turban Army, with Jiang Shengbu killed more than 1,200 people and Huangfu Song's main force nearly 2,000 killed, which can be described as heavy losses.

Jiang Sheng had never really failed since he entered the war, and this time he was not only defeated, but also suffered heavy losses, which made him unacceptable.

"Zicheng, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, so don't worry too much." Huangfu Song persuaded.

"General, the Yellow Turban Army within Guangzong is currently the same enemy, and a strong attack is the next strategy, so you can temporarily surround Guangzong and make another plan."

Huangfu Song is not heartbroken in the face of losses, but it is difficult for the court to explain. Lu Zhi was convicted only after besieging without fighting, and Huangfu Song didn't want to tell the truth to people with ulterior motives in the DPRK at this juncture, so he would rather fight if he didn't win.

Jiang Sheng is different, Jiang Sheng doesn't have to worry about the court's deception. He explained to Huangfu Song that he was preparing a strategy to break the enemy and would not participate in the war for five days. Huangfu Song knew that Jiang Sheng was full of tricks, so he granted Jiang Sheng's request.

Jiang Sheng ordered Yu Ban to lead the cavalry around Guangzong, and ordered Zhou Cang to lead the army up the mountain to collect pine resin, which is flammable, Zhou Cang thought that Jiang Sheng would also use fire to attack Guangzong, he felt that it was unlikely to succeed, but he didn't think too much, as long as Jiang Sheng arranged it, there must be Jiang Sheng's intentions.

Huangfu Song failed to attack the city for many days, and tried to lure Zhang Liang into battle, but Zhang Liang just didn't fight, and Huang Fu Song can be said to be poor in donkey skills.

Five days later, Jiang Sheng told Huangfu Song about the siege plan, and Huangfu Song was overjoyed and went to prepare without mentioning it, and Jiang Sheng's various departments were also preparing in full swing according to the predetermined plan.

The moon was dark and the wind was high, and it was already the night of October 27, Zhang Liang became irritable for no reason, and it was difficult to sleep, so he went out for a walk, but saw a vision in the sky: countless stars seemed to have just risen from the ground.

The Yellow Turban soldiers also saw these strange things and hurriedly sent someone to report them.

Zhang Liang rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, but saw that those stars were not stars in the sky, but like sky lanterns, and six words were written on the white lampshade: "Zhang Jiao is dead, the world is peaceful."

Some soldiers who had never seen the world really thought that Zhang Jiao's death was a punishment from heaven, and they suddenly whispered and their morale was low.

Zhang Liang was furious, beat the drum and gathered the generals, determined to go out of the city to fight to the death with the officials and soldiers. Zhang Liang's anger is understandable, his own eldest brother has just been buried, and this official army has hung out such a sky lantern, which is a great shame!

Zhang Liang ordered Bian Xi to lead the cavalry out of the city and take the initiative to attack the official army. This Bian Xi fled to Guangzong after being defeated by Yu Ban that day, and was called out by Zhang Liang at this time.

Bian Xi's persuasion was useless, and he was almost cut down by Zhang Liang on the grounds of disobeying military orders, so he had to lead all the Yellow Turban cavalry out of the city for a decisive battle.
