Jiang Shengjun was stationed in W County to rest, and the people in the city came to condole, and a large amount of wine, meat and vegetables were sent to the temporary camp. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiang Sheng thanked the people on behalf of the officers and soldiers, and the people saw that the attitude of the officers and troops led by Jiang Sheng was kind, and their morale was high, which was completely different from when Dong Zhuo was in charge of the army, and the original misunderstanding and resistance were swept away.

Although Jiang Sheng only captured a W county and annihilated less than 6,000 enemies, he had a good chance to catch up, and after Lu Zhi was convicted, this was the first victory in Jizhou's counterinsurgency operation, which greatly boosted the morale of the army and the people.

A few days later, Huangfu Song's department conquered Guantao with superior forces, killed more than 5,000 enemies, and then used Guantao as the base camp of the Jizhou official army, recruited soldiers, replenished grain and grass, and prepared intensively for the counterattack on Guangzong.

In order to respond to the main force of Huangfu Song, Jiang Sheng pulled out the camp and marched west after resting for three days in W County, aiming at Ye County!

He Yi deployed 10,000 troops in Ye County, in order to resist Jiang Sheng's army, he mobilized the Yellow Turban Army from all over the surrounding areas, and when Jiang Shengjun arrived in Ye County, the Yellow Turban garrison in Ye County reached 30,000 people, which was twice the strength of Jiang Sheng's army.

Ye County is the seat of Wei County, and it is also a famous city in Jizhou, and it is recorded in history that Yuan Shao chose Ye County as the capital when he ruled Jizhou, which can be said to be impregnable. Ye County is also of great significance to the Yellow Turban is the frontier stronghold of Jizhou to Jingshi Luoyang, if Ye County is lost, Zhang Jiao's grand cause will be lost.

When the news of Jiang Shengjun's westward march into Ye County reached Zhang Jiao, Zhang Jiao planned to let Zhang Liang lead the army to support, but the official army led by Huangfu Song was eyeing Guangzong, so Zhang Jiao had to dispel the idea and instead sent Bian Xi, the former commander of the Yellow Turban Canal in Qingzhou, to lead an army of 5,000 to support Wei County, and ordered Huang Shao, who was stationed in Handan, to wait for an opportunity.

On the second day of the first month of September, Jiang Sheng launched the first attack on Ye County, He Yi organized half of the defenders to resist the city, and several charges of the official army were shot back by dense arrows, coupled with the continuous autumn rain, the first attack on Ye County failed.

Jiang Sheng tried to repeat the old trick and sent people into the city, but He Yi learned to be obedient, and since Jiang Sheng came, he closed the city gate and couldn't hold out.

Jiang Sheng stood alone outside the big tent, letting the autumn rain wet his clothes.

"Lord, go into the tent, if you fall ill from the wind and cold, it will have a negative impact on the morale of our army." Yu Ban walked to Jiang Sheng's side with an umbrella.

"Wen Ze, where do you say you want to start with Yecheng?"

"I'm stupid, I really don't know how to start. As long as the lord orders it, Wen Ze will fight to the death. ”

"Wen Ze, fighting a war is about strategy and morale, and it is not enough to have force. Let's go, accompany me to the city for a walk. ”

Yu Ban took several elite horsemen to accompany Jiang Sheng to the outskirts of Yecheng, and Jiang Sheng looked at the towering city wall at a loss. Huangfu Song ordered Jiang Sheng to take Ye County within seven days, and then went north to Handan to support the main force of the official army to attack Guangzong.

Now that four days have passed, there are still three days to go, if Ye County cannot be captured, even if Huangfu Song loves talent, Jiang Sheng will not be held accountable.

If Jiang Sheng had not completed the combat mission in the era before Jiang Sheng had traveled to the military court, and in this Eastern Han Dynasty, Jiang Sheng was not sure whether Huangfu Song would be beheaded.

In fact, Jiang Sheng had already observed the terrain of Yecheng, and there was a poisonous plan that could be used, but it would harm the people in the city, and Jiang Sheng would not use this desperate plan unless it was absolutely necessary.

After returning to the camp, Jiang Sheng summoned his subordinates and generals above the commander to study the siege plan, and then the scout came to report.

"General Yu, there is a Yellow Turban Army camped one hundred miles southwest of Ye County, and there are 5,000 foot soldiers, and the identity of the main general has not yet been ascertained."

"It must be the reinforcements invited by He Yi! Since it is sent to the door, let's eat this support army first! Jiang Sheng said.

At dawn on the second day, Jiang Sheng ordered Yu Ban to lead 3,000 cavalry to send reinforcements, Zhou Cang led 5,000 infantry to attack Ye County from the northeast, and Jiang Sheng led 5,000 infantry to attack Ye County from the southeast.

After Zhou Cang led the army into the battle position, the battle began, more than 100 ladders were erected on the wall of Ye County, and the officers and soldiers bravely climbed the city. The defenders in the northeast and southeast directions smashed the rocks and rolling logs at the head of the city one after another on the ladders, and countless officers and soldiers were stoned to death and fell.

Bian Xi received an order of 100,000 urgent, although it was less than 100 miles away from Ye County, but Bian Xi's army continued to march in the early morning after resting for three hours, and at this time the attack on Ye County had begun. The messenger sent by He Yi told Bian Xi the news of the war.

Bian Xi ordered the troops to speed up, preparing to join forces inside and outside, and attack Jiang Sheng's department.

Hidden in the woods, Yu Ban let go of the messenger from Yecheng and prepared to wait for Bian Xi's reinforcements to arrive.

It was not long in time, Bian Xi's troops had already appeared in view, Yu Ban roared, and led the cavalry to rush down the hillside next to the woods.

Bian Xi was shocked and urgently ordered the troops to line up to defend, but the impact speed of the cavalry was too fast, and before Bian Xi's army could form a formation, Yu Ban's cavalry had already killed.

3,000 cavalry against 5,000 infantry was simply a one-sided massacre. Time is pressing, there are no conditions to accommodate prisoners of war, and Yu Ban's order is to kill without mercy!

Bian Xi led his troops to hurry up, and was defeated before he arrived in Yecheng, and killed more than 4,700 enemies in the forbidden department.

After Yu Ban's victory, he waved his army to the east and stormed Yecheng from the west gate, and the main forces of Yecheng were concentrated in the east, He Yi didn't expect that the official army still had a team at the west gate.

The ladders were concentrated in the two armies of Zhou Cang and Jiang Sheng, and Yu Ban led cavalry, and it was almost impossible to attack the city.

Yu Ban had a whim, so that the fifty knights gave up the war horses, although the war horses are expensive, but the lives of the soldiers are even more precious, Yu Ban is determined to sacrifice these fifty war horses.

Fifty horses were lined up in two columns, and the soldiers covered the eyes of the horses with cloths, tied the horses together with ropes, and then stabbed the horses in the back of the horses with spears.

Yu Ban's cavalry mounted and prepared to attack, and fifty war horses rushed towards the city gate, crashing into the city gate and bursting their brains. The war horses behind could not see the situation in front of them, and they crashed into the city gate in waves.

The bolt of the gate was made of wood, and it broke after being struck by fifty horses in turn.

Yu Ban saw that the city gate was knocked open, and shouted: "Rush-" led the cavalry to rush in with the horse corpse at the city gate.

He Yi's main force was in the east city, and the defenders of the west city were weak, so Yu Ban led the cavalry to kill and kill, and soon cleared the defenders of the west gate.

He Yi was taken aback when he got the news, and hurriedly sent troops to support Ximen, but it was too late. The forbidden army was fighting vigorously, and the one hundred and eighty Yellow Turban soldiers who supported it were quickly wiped out.

He Yi dispatched thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers from Dongcheng to meet Yu Ban, and a gap suddenly appeared in the defense in the southeast direction.

Jiang Sheng seized the opportunity and urged the soldiers to attack, and soon tore a gap, and hundreds of officers and soldiers occupied the southeast city wall of Yecheng.

He Yi organized troops to try to regain control, but the officers and soldiers who had already rushed to the city desperately defended and covered more soldiers to climb the city wall.
