Zhu Jun, who besieged Wancheng, took turns to attack the city for several months, all of which failed, and the soldiers under his command suffered serious losses, and could not continue to maintain the siege posture, so they had to withdraw the siege, set up a camp five miles outside Wancheng, and then piled up earth mountains, trying to attack the city with a bow and arrow array to cover the infantry with a bow and arrow array.

The morning fog was misty, and Zhu Junjun's army, which had been resting for many days, began to move. Zhu Jun's soldiers were divided into two routes, one was commanded by Xu Xuan, the assassin of Jingzhou, to feint to attack the southwest of the city, and the other was led by Zhu Jun, who took advantage of the fog to move to the northeast of Wancheng.

At the moment, Xu Xuan launched the attack first, Han Zhong saw that there was no movement on three sides of Wancheng, and still thought that Zhu Jun's army was attacking one place, so he left only a small number of troops to garrison the other parties, and ordered the main force of Wancheng Yellow Turbans to defend the southwest.

In order to drag the main force of the Yellow Turban in Wancheng, Xu Xuan turned the feint attack into a real attack, and it seemed that he would not hesitate to do so, and the Yellow Turban in the city did not doubt him, and concentrated on defending the attack of Xu Xuan's army.

It was almost noon, Zhu Jun took the lead and led the elite soldiers to suddenly attack from the northeast. The northeast of Wancheng has always been the focus of Zhu Jun's army's attacks, so the defenders in the northeast corner are stronger than the other parties.

Although Zhu Junbu was a selected elite soldier, the resistance during the siege was not small. Zhu Jun was hit by three arrows in his body, and he still roared and fought at the head of the city.

Seeing that Zhu Jun was about to be defeated by the defenders, Sun Jian led Huai Si Jingzhuang to kill him as well. Zhu Jun saw Sun Jian coming to help, and shouted: "Wentai (Sun Jian's character) came just in time, and defending the city is victory." ”

Sun Jian danced the ancient ingot knife in his hand, slashed left and right, killed more than a dozen people, and then led the Huaisi elite soldiers to fight with the defenders along the head of the city, and soon controlled the situation.

The battle in the southwest corner was still fierce, but Han Zhong had already reported that the official army had captured the city, so he ordered all his troops to quickly retreat and retreat to the inner city.

Zhu Jun's various ministries opened the gates of the outer city and swarmed in. After five months of unsuccessful operations since June, the capture of the outer city was a great victory and a great boost in morale.

After conquering the outer city, Zhu Jun ordered everyone to camp around the inner city.

Han Zhong was very frightened after hearing the news, he was a cowardly person, he couldn't hold on to Zhang Mancheng's strategy before, and he was only bold with the defense of the Wancheng city wall, at this moment the outer city has been broken, and it is only a matter of time before the inner city is breached.

Although the generals of the Yellow Turbans in Wancheng expressed their stubbornness, Han Zhong insisted on surrendering, and the generals had to obey Han Zhong's wishes.

The messenger went to Zhu Jun's camp to state his intention to surrender, and handed over Han Zhong's letter of surrender to Zhu Jun.

"General, if Han Zhong surrenders, our troops can avoid the loss of the siege, which is very good." Military Sima Zhang Chao said.

Xu Xuan said: "Surrendering the soldiers without a fight is the best policy. This time, Han Zhong asked to surrender, which was really a blessing for the court. ”

Qin Jie also agreed, but Zhu Jun shook his head and said, "There are similarities in sending troops. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was smoke everywhere, and there was no stable lord, so he persuaded him to surrender with a generous reward. Now if we accept their surrender, then we will breed the atmosphere of rebellion and give them the idea of entering the war if they are advantageous, and begging to surrender if they are unfavorable. ”

Zhu Jun is the boss, if everyone continues to agree to Han Zhong's surrender, it will inevitably give people a misunderstanding of fornicating with the yellow scarf, so they are silent.

Zhu Jun ordered the messenger to be cut off left and right, and then hung his head outside the camp.

Seeing Zhu Jun's attitude, the Yellow Turban guards reported to Han Zhong one after another. Han Zhong saw that there was no hope of surrender, and the generals were also the main battle, so he ordered all the troops to fight to the death with the officers and soldiers.

Zhu Jun gave an order, and the official army began to attack the inner city, and the yellow turban at the head of the city did not retreat, which was completely desperate, and it was everywhere that the official army fell down the city wall.

Xu Xuan, Sun Jian, and Qin Jie's troops fought bloodily, but they were never able to capture the city, and after nearly five hours of continuous fighting, the inner city was still under the control of the Yellow Turban, and Zhu Jun had to announce that he would stop the attack.

On the second day, the sky was clear, Zhu Jun climbed the earth mountain to observe the situation in the inner city, thoughtfully, and then said to the military Sima Zhang Chao: "I know! The Yellow Turban Thieves have a strong perimeter, since they can't surrender, they will be dead horizontally and vertically, so they will defend desperately, and ten thousand people are united, but it is not acceptable, let alone 100,000! It seems that the assault is terrible, it is better to withdraw the siege and gather troops out of the city. Han Zhong saw that the siege had been lifted, and he would inevitably try to escape, and the morale of the battle to the death would be discouraged, and if our army suddenly attacked again, the Yellow Turban would be defeated! ”

Although Han Zhong's yellow turban has the heart to fight to the death, but the desire to survive is stronger, all the generals gathered around to discuss the strategy of breaking through, if there is a chance to break out with the troops, they can continue to fight anywhere, but if they stay in the inner city of Wancheng, it is not a wise move.

In order to prevent the Yellow Turban from seeing through his strategy, Zhu Jun launched an attack again, and it is conceivable that under the stubborn defense of the Yellow Turban Army, the official army suffered another defeat.

Zhu Jun had no choice but to organize the "withdrawal of the army", and the yellow scarves at the head of the city saw it really and reported it to Han Zhong.

Han Zhong said: "The Yellow Turban has been repelled by our army in repeated hard battles, and the losses are not small, it seems that Zhu Jun wants to make a comeback after resting." ”

Adjutant General Sun Xia said: "This is a good opportunity for us to break through, leave Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood, if Zhu Jun comes to besiege again, we will be unable to fly." ”

The Yellow Turban generals also meant the same thing, and Han Zhong said: "Okay, just do it!" ”

The winter night came quickly, Han Zhong led the Yellow Turban Army out of Wancheng at night, and there were already spies who fed back the movements of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhu Jun was overjoyed, led the army out of the camp after the draped, Xu Xuan on the left, Sun Jian on the right, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses suddenly appeared around the Yellow Turban Army, Han Zhong shouted in the plan, turned around and ran to Wancheng, the army saw that the Lord would flee, and there was a great chaos, Zhu Jun marched with drums, chased and killed from outside the city to the city, and slashed and killed more than ten miles in a row, and the Yellow Turban Army suffered countless casualties. When Han Zhong was about to arrive at the inner city gate, Qin Jie, the Taishou of Nanyang County, led the army to stop him, and there was another fight, and Han Zhong led the cavalry to surrender to Qin Jie.

Qin Jie said: "Ben Taishou has been in office for a few months, but he has not even gone further in the governance of Nanyang County, it is all your responsibility, if you are left today, where is Ben Taishou's face?" After speaking, he swung his knife and slashed Han Zhong.

The Yellow Turbans fought a bloody way and retreated into the inner city to defend. Han Zhong died, and Sun Xia, the deputy general of the Yellow Turban, was the commander and held the inner city.

At this time, the inner city was not like when Han Zhong was there, and the Yellow Turban Army was in a panic all day long, and they were almost incapable of fighting.

Zhu Jun learned a lesson, decided to encircle three missing one, forced Sun Xia to lead the army to break through, and then split and attacked, Sun Xia really hit the plan, led the army to break through, was surrounded by Zhu Jun's divisions, Sun Xia led the Yellow Turban troops to flee to the West Hubei Jing Mountain desperately, Zhu Jun led the army to pursue the victory, and beheaded more than 70 Yellow Turban generals below Sun Xia, and tens of thousands of Yellow Turban remnants became the souls of the officers and soldiers.

Nanyang County was peaceful, and Zhu Jun's army rested in Wancheng, but after the battle on the northern front won successive victories, it encountered the same problems as Wancheng.
