Yellow Turban Army!

Where did the Yellow Turban Army come from?!

The completely unexpected surprise attack plunged the Han cavalry into a brief period of confusion. Even Cheng Lian and Song Xian were stunned for a while before they reacted. The reaction of the other Han troops was even more unbearable.

However, these Han knights are the elite of the army after all. Cheng Lian swore that if he could give his men a tenth of an hour, nay, a fifteenth quarter of an hour, his men would be able to recover from the chaos and deal a head-on blow to these hateful sneak attackers......

Or retreat in time......

However, the sad thing is that what the Han army lacks most at the moment is time!

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army began to speed up and rushed straight towards the chaotic Han army. This kind of move, which was regarded as a fool in Cheng Lian's heart, has become a wonderful blow to the Han army at this moment!

When the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army approached a distance of 100 paces, Cheng Lian glanced sadly at the still chaotic Han army. Then, decisively, he stepped on the horse alone, chose an open direction, and galloped without looking back.

- Defeat is decided......

In addition to the bitterness in his heart, Cheng Lian was extremely curious about these yellow turban ambushes that seemed to fall from the sky.

- Are these moth thieves coming out of the dirt?

Zhang Huan slashed the back muscles of a Han knight with a knife, and then kicked the enemy down, and finally settled down.

Hundreds of elite horsemen of the Yellow Turban Army rushed into the unprepared Han cavalry, condescending and wantonly slaughtering these colleagues who had no time to get on their horses. In this battle, the victory is decided.

Zhang Huan let out a long breath. With such a result, he felt that he could finally give an explanation in front of Guan Haishuai.

Rewind time by half an hour. When Bao Xin, the captain of the Han army, led his headquarters to launch a surprise attack on the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, he first wrapped dumplings in the "Swift Walking Battalion" commanded by Zhang Huan.

In order to escape for his life, Zhang Huan went into the dense forest and ran wildly. It was also his luck that he actually met the "Sprint Battalion" A team that he sent out to cut off the enemy's rear road on the way.

With the forty or fifty men and horses of the "Swift Battalion" A team, Zhang Huan circled all the way, and finally found the edge of the dense forest. However, God played him another joke that was not too big or too small. Zhang Huan's body had not yet walked out of the forest, but he actually saw a dusty Han cavalry team at a glance.

Fortunately, these Han cavalry did not have time to pay attention to the movement in the forest, but were busy taking care of their mounts. Zhang Huan took advantage of the cover of the big tree at the edge of the forest to observe, and was pleasantly surprised to find that not far away, there was a cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

The rest of the matter is logical.

In order to make up for the consequences of his defeat, Zhang Huan didn't have to think too much, and decisively chose to make a desperate bet, leading his No. 40 or 50 foot soldiers to launch a risky blow to the unsuspecting dismounted Han cavalry.

The effect of this blow was even better than the most ideal result in his heart!

The cavalry of the Han army, which was suddenly attacked, had no intention of facing it at all. They quickly collapsed under the attack of Zhang Rao and Yu Poison. As a result, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army succeeded in winning a small victory under the unfavorable situation of the first battle.

After the battle, counting the results of the battle, the Han cavalry suffered casualties and captured a total of 200 people. It can be said that this Han cavalry has already broken its backbone, and it will take at least a few months before it can regain its combat effectiveness again.

The fly in the ointment is that the two leaders of the Han cavalry are both old oilmen on the battlefield, and when they saw that the situation was not good, they slipped away very quickly. Among the heads of the Han army, none of them had enough weight, and the highest was a team rate, which was a small regret in this battle.

Of course, the losses of the Yellow Turban Army in this battle were also considerable. However, with captured horses, weapons, and armor, the cavalry of the Yellow Turbans could not only be fully replenished, but perhaps even slightly expanded.

The corpses of hundreds of war horses killed on the battlefield are also a lot of wealth. At the very least, these horse meats can restore the sluggish morale of the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which has just experienced a tragic surprise attack.

As for the Tianping Army under Zhang Madness, compared to the Guanhai Division, which suffered a loss of more than 1,000 people, it can be said that it was unscathed. Not only that, but the prestige of the Zhang Mad Army in the Yellow Turban Army has also been greatly improved because of this battle.

Not to mention anything else, if Zhang Qiang turns against Guan Hai now, at least he doesn't have to worry about his subordinates being lured away by Guan Hai.

The army is such a monster that needs to be commanded by its generals, fed with victory and blood from time to time. Of course, adequate supplies are a must.

The August day in the north is a good day for the Mid-Autumn Festival of the year.

The Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army led by Guan Hai had to rest on the spot for five days after being attacked by Bao Xinqi, the captain of the Han army. However, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, which was on the road again, had to slow down significantly to avoid the surprise attack of the Han army from appearing again.

If Bao Xin's subordinates had been keeping a close eye on the Yellow Turbans of the Guanhai Division, the Yellow Turban Army of the Guanhai Division, hindered by the dangerous Han army and the heavy rains in July, might not have been able to successfully support the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army of "Bu Jishuai" even at the end of August.

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army uprising can be said to have blossomed everywhere in the land of the Han Dynasty.

When Bao Xin fixed his eyes firmly on the Yellow Turban Army of Guanhai and did not relax for a moment, a Yellow Turban Army from nowhere suddenly appeared in the rear of Bao Xin's army and captured Fucheng County, the supply ground of the Yanzhou Prefecture Division.

This unexpected change forced Bao Xin to take the Yanzhou Prefecture Division back to the army to rescue Fucheng County. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Guan Hai hurriedly urged the army to advance. Finally, at the beginning of August, the Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army came to Gucheng County in Dong County, and was only one step away from the Yanzhou Yellow Turban Army led by "Bu Jishuai".

Looking at the city wall of Gucheng County not far away, a sneer of disdain appeared on his arrogant face.

Although due to the continuous months of running, the arrogant figure is obviously a little thin. However, this did not detract from his spirit.

The long-distance march is like a whetstone for the Tianping Army, which has not been established for a long time. Today's Tianping Army, in the hands of arrogance, can already be said to be like an arm. If you compare it with before January, it is clear that there has been a lot of improvement.

Of course, such progress always comes at a cost.

Today's Tianping Army, the number of personnel will only reach 2,000. Of the hundreds of people who have been reduced, some have died, some have been wounded, and some have escaped. However, those who have been able to follow the arrogance to the present can be said to be "Taiping Dao activists" who are "firmly determined by the revolution".

"A bunch of chickens and dogs!"

arrogantly commented on the defenders of Gucheng County. According to the news of Taiping Dao Neiying, this large county town is crowded with tens of thousands of Ding Zhuang and about 2,000 county soldiers. However, the county commander of Gucheng County, which has such a huge force, did not even have the courage to go out of the city to fight when facing the Yellow Turban Army of the Insolent Division, which was only 2,000 people!

"If Bao Xin is the county commander, I'm afraid that our army will have to find a way to bypass this Gucheng County!"

Military advisor Wang Guo replied. The rest of the people agreed. Along the way, the Tianping Army, as the vanguard of the army, has repeatedly engaged in battles with Bao Xin's subordinates, of course, they know how difficult this Bao Xin and Bao Yuncheng are.

Thinking of the repeated contact with Bao Xinbu, Zhang Qiang couldn't help but feel a little big. From the captured Yanzhou Prefecture soldiers, he also heard the long-admired name of "Chen Gong". In the entanglement between the two armies, the Tianping Army can be said to have suffered more losses and taken advantage of less. Many times, insolence is to rely on the fierce generals under his hands to break it with force.

"I still suffered the loss of no strategist!"

In my heart, I have been arrogant more than once.

However, this is also a helpless thing. In the current era, some fierce generals are still from poverty. However, the talents in the strategist area were basically rounded up by the Gaomen clan. After all, the most basic requirement for being a qualified strategist is to be well-read and well-informed.

Because the books at that time were mainly recorded in wooden bamboo slips, the cost was extremely high. Therefore, any family that can make their children know how to read and read must at least be a middle-aged family with a fortune of 100,000 yuan.

This kind of family with thin assets has always been the basic pillar of every imperial court. If you want such a middle-class family to participate in high-risk activities such as rebellion, you usually have to let them go bankrupt first.

Looking through the entire genealogy of the Three Kingdoms, there is no real strategist who was born in extreme poverty. Even if it is a strategist like Guo Jia and Xu Shu, who are counted as being from a poor family, the so-called cold family is only a small landlord who seems to be more downtrod compared with those high-ranking families. If compared with the ordinary households in the Han Dynasty, these "poor scholars" also belong to the existence that is looked up to by the small people of Shengdou.

"Bao Xin alone, that's all. But with the addition of a cunning Chen Palace, maybe it can really stop the advance of our army......"

The person who said these words was the young and vigorous, but quite scheming Zang Ba.

"If it were our army, there would be a ......"
