Chapter 21: The Universe Turns Backwards

The Imperial City of the Han Dynasty was surrounded by 600,000 Yellow Turban Army for a day, the morning sun is shining, the sun is like fire, the sun is shining in the spring, if you are playing and going green, the weather is just right, and Luoyang, the power and political center of the Han Dynasty, is outside the city, a solemn atmosphere.

The Yellow Turban Army was assembled, and Zhang Jiao's army faced the north gate of Luoyang.

Zhang Jiao, who stood tall on the chariot, slowly pulled out a sharp sword from his waist, and the cold light was extremely dazzling under the reflection of the day, only to see Zhang Jiao holding the sword in his hand, cutting through the air and falling, the sword pointed to was the imperial power Yanjing.

"I Taiping Dao obeyed the orders of heaven to overthrow the Han family and help the world, just today, the generals will listen to the order and attack the city!"

With Zhang Jiao's order, the Yellow Turban Army rushed towards Luoyang like a tide.

The rain of arrows came from the head of Luoyang City, and the Yellow Turban Army at the forefront raised their shields to resist the rain of arrows, and the crossbowmen who followed them opened their bows and pulled arrows to fight back, and behind the crossbowmen were the soldiers carrying the flying bridge.

The Yellow Turban Army attacked Luoyang City from all directions at the same time, the shield soldiers resisted, the crossbowmen covered, near noon, the moat outside Luoyang City finally all took the flying bridge to cross the river, in front of the Yellow Turban Army, the soldiers carrying the ladder had been preparing for a long time.

Shouting and killing, howling, beating drums, Zhang Jiao turned a deaf ear, standing upright on the chariot, palms stacked against the end of the sword, everything seemed to be under his control, this battle, the capture of Luoyang, he was bound to win.

The order that should be conveyed by General He Jin, who was standing at the head of Luoyang City and commanding Ruoding, has been ordered, and whether Luoyang can defend it or not is no longer something he can control.

He Jin, who also held his sword in front of him with both hands, closed his eyes and was silent, was like a god of war, the breeze was blowing, the armor was reflective, the cloak was fluttering, and the wisp of white feathers on the helmet was particularly eye-catching.

The glory, disgrace, and wealth of this life are all in this battle!

Victory, leave a name in history, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition!

Defeated, stinking for 10,000 years, and dying in Jiuquan!

Countless cloud ladders took the head of Luoyang City, and the Yellow Turban Army brandished their swords and climbed the cloud ladder, slashing and killing the Han defenders guarding the city, but they were killed again and again, and the cloud ladder was pushed down again and again, and was helped up again and again, until it was cut down and broken by the sword, and fell to the ground and fell to the ground.

Luoyang City has been a mountain of bones, blood flowed like a river, but the Yellow Turban Army is still attacking, all the Yellow Turban generals are lined up in front of the battle, witnessing the situation ahead, as long as the city has a slight defensive flaw, it will increase the troops and attack, all the Yellow Turban generals know that as long as the Yellow Turban Army enters Luoyang City and opens the city gate, there is no suspense about this victory!

Red said that the west sloped, and the Yellow Turban Army's wave after wave of offensives stopped at the head of the city, and it was never able to form a scale to occupy the city, and was wiped out by the defenders again and again when they saw that they were about to succeed.

The ladder of the Yellow Turban Army to attack the city has been exhausted, seeing that the offensive will be extinguished, the Yellow Turban generals all closed their eyes and sighed, regretful, and at the same time faintly complained that General Tiangong did not listen to the advice yesterday, if the ladder is enough today, and then insist on attacking for a period of time, maybe, maybe they will be able to break through the defense of the defenders, but unfortunately, it is a pity......

"General, our army has run out of siege ladders, what should we do now?" Zhang Bao came to Zhang Jiao's side, looking at Zhang Jiao, whose expression was always the same with his eyes closed, his tone was very low, countless corpses of the Yellow Turban Army had been piled up under the city, and the tragedy of the battle was unimaginable, but the Yellow Turban Army failed to capture the city in the end.

The black and white deep and simple eyes slowly opened, Zhang Jiao raised his sword again, waved a finger, and shouted: "Order all units of the whole army to attack the north gate of Luoyang City with all their might!" ”

"This ......" Zhang Bao was at a loss, the sturdiness of Yanjing's city gate can be imagined, if you rush hard, the casualties will be too great, and it may not be effective.

"Zhang Bao, do you dare to delay the military order?" Zhang Jiao's face was cold, his eyes were like knives, and he looked at Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao did not dare to disobey the military order, so he ordered all units of the army to storm the north gate of Luoyang.

After the military order was issued, the yellow turban generals on the other three sides all had expressions of disbelief, but the military order could not be violated, so they ordered the whole army to move to the north gate of Luoyang.

After Zhang Jiao gave a new combat order, he once again held his sword in his hand and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Success or failure, fight here, Yuanyi, don't let me down.

Just as the Yellow Turban Army moved to the north gate of Luoyang, the north gate of Luoyang miraculously opened!

"General, it's not good, the city has long been lurking Taiping Road anti-thieves, with Ma Yuanyi led by three thousand Yellow Turban thieves just suddenly attacked at the North Gate, now the North Gate has been lost, General Chun Yuqiong has rushed over to make up for the defense, Ma Yuanyi and other anti-thieves were killed on the spot, but the Yellow Turban Thieves have entered the North Gate, and now they are in a stalemate with our army at the North Gate, although the defenders in the city are far less damaged than the Yellow Turban Thieves, and now there are less than 40,000 left, but the Yellow Turban Thieves are afraid that there are at least 400,000, what should be done for today's plan, please ask the general to decide." Yuan Shao, who was in a brocade robe and silver armor, stood behind the general He Jin covered in blood.

There are also Cao Ying and Yuan Shu, who are also bloodstained and scarred, and the two of them are side by side with Yuan Shao.

Suddenly opening his eyes, He Jin raised his giant sword and swung it towards the city wall.

Knort

The giant sword was embedded in the stone wall, He Jin turned around and looked at Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Cao Ying, and He Jin, who was expressionless, not angry and arrogant, and said coldly to the three of them: "Mobilize troops to defend the north gate with all your might, if you can't defend it, you have to defend it, if we can't hold it, the Son of Heaven will be in trouble!" At that time, the sky of the Han Dynasty was about to fall! What place do we Hanchen have to stand on? Listen to me, those who retreat, kill! ”

Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, and Cao Ying were full of emotion in their hearts, and they bowed down and hugged their fists to receive their lives.

After the three of them retreated, He Jin turned around and looked out of the city again, the Yellow Turban Army had already purposefully rushed towards the north gate, and the 40,000 defenders faced the 400,000 Yellow Turban Army, was there still suspense?

Looking down at the dense Yellow Turban Army outside the city, He Jin's heart was cold, although his face never changed.

Can this battle be won? I'm afraid I have to hope for a miracle!

The main army of the Yellow Turban is facing the north gate of Luoyang, at this moment Zhang Baoxi is riding on a horse in a beautiful way, and he always has a calm face on the chariot and says: "General, the north gate has been broken, just wait to exhaust the defenders in the city, and the general trend of my Taiping Road has been decided." ”

A slight smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Zhang Jiao opened his eyes to look at the sky, and said lightly: "Pass the order, after attacking Luoyang, the first priority is to take the palace, and not to leak any royal family, especially the emperor, I want him to kneel in front of my Taiping Dao people, and then behead him to correct the way of heaven." Secondly, first control the hundred officials in the city, and kill those who resist. ”

"Yes." Zhang Bao personally patted the horse and rushed to the various ministries to pass the order, and now that the big event has been decided, Zhang Bao is overjoyed, and he can't wait to attack Luoyang immediately, and see the appearance of the mediocre emperor with his own eyes.

Zhang Jiao, who was looking up at the sky, was not carried away at the moment, he knew that this was the first step in the Taiping Road to level the four seas.

Yanjing fell, the Han dynasty overturned, and the world was in chaos.

The road to be walked on Taiping Road is still long, long......

Fengxiao, if you are here at this moment, how good it would be.

Zhang Mancheng, who was looking at the north gate of Luoyang, shouted impatiently at his subordinates: "Rush! Rush to General Ben! Rushed into the imperial city and captured the Han Emperor to General Ben. ”

The Yellow Turban generals all know that at this time the city gate has been opened, and it is only a matter of time before they enter the city, in order to grab the credit, they naturally have to work harder, and after entering the city, whoever can capture the Han Emperor first will get a great credit!

Just as Zhang Mancheng was shouting at the soldiers to speed up their advance, there was an earth-shattering shout from the rear.

"Wujun Sun Jian led the children of Jiangdong to beg for thieves! The traitor will not dismount and die! ”

Zhang Mancheng was not frightened, but was stunned, after pulling the reins, he looked back, a team of thousands of cavalry rushed to kill, the first two horsemen were actually one long and one young, the elder was about thirty years old, dressed in armor, holding an ancient ingot knife, the young was only a ten-year-old child, but he was also wearing armor and wielding a halberd. The two of them were extremely powerful, leading a thousand cavalry into the Yellow Turban Formation, and everywhere they went, blood mist filled the sky, and stumps and broken arms could be seen everywhere.

"Don't be arrogant, Taiping Dao general Zhang Mancheng is here!" Zhang Mancheng turned around and rushed towards Sun Jian.

Sun Jian's cavalry was the nemesis of the Yellow Turban infantry, coupled with the courage and hard to beat, the Yellow Turban Army suffered a large number of casualties in a moment, Sun Jian killed ordinary soldiers like slaughtering pigs and dogs, without any sense of achievement.

Zhang Mancheng and Sun Jian rushed against each other, and at the moment of the confrontation, the weapons collided, and Zhang Mancheng exclaimed in horror in his heart: what a fierce force.

His inner reading has become the last sigh of his life.

Knort

The ancient ingot knife not only cut off the knife in Zhang Mancheng's hand between the lightning and flint, but also took away Zhang Mancheng's life, the blood spring erupted from Zhang Mancheng's neck, and a head fell into the chaos in a wonderful arc in the air.

"Phew, so vulnerable or a general? My sons and grandsons can kill you in three! ”

Zhang Mancheng and Sun Jian were cut off after just taking a face, and the surrounding Yellow Turban Army was suddenly terrified, not to mention that the cavalry led by Sun Jian was extremely brave, and his heart was even more cowardly, and many of the Yellow Turban soldiers on the periphery had already dropped their weapons and fled for their lives.

In front of Luoyang City, it only takes a moment for the overall situation to be decided, but the Yellow Turban Army did not expect that countless armies appeared in all directions to form a situation of entrapment against them.

"Youzhou Assassin Liu Yan led the king to crusade against the thieves!"

"After King Jing of Zhongshan, Liu Bei was edicted to beg for thieves!"

"Yanren Zhang Yide is here!"

"Guan Yu is here, and the thief will be arrested before he can tie his hands!"

……

"Tao Qian led the Danyang soldiers to beg for thieves!"

"Liaoxi Gongsun Zan led the White Horse to kill the thief from the edict!"

……

"Liangzhou Dong Zhuo led the Xiliang Iron Rider to escort the order!"

……

"What's going on? What's going on? Zhang Jiao watched the army suddenly fall into chaos, countless small groups of troops into the Yellow Turban Army, looking away, those troops were less than 1,000 people, more than 10,000 people, only a team that appeared from the northwest direction was afraid that there were about 30,000 cavalry, and the rest of the teams that appeared were not to be afraid, but the Yellow Turban Army was now in a mess, completely losing its command and order.

"Big brother, big brother." Zhang Liang ran to Zhang Jiao covered in blood.

"Say, what's going on?" Zhang Jiao's eyes were cold, and he stared at Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang's pale and colorless face showed a look of horror, and said with a cry: "There are Hanting reinforcements in all directions, and the people who lead them have the courage of ten thousand people, and there are tens of thousands of iron horsemen, we can't stop it, we really can't stop it." Quickly give the order to withdraw the troops. ”

"Report! General Yutiangong, Zhang Mancheng died in battle. The news from the herald made Zhang Jiao's expression change greatly.

But next......

"Report! Peng Tuo died in battle! ”

"Report! Han Zhong died in battle! ”

"Report! Zhao Hong died in battle! ”

"Report! Zhang Niujiao was seriously injured and dying! ”

"Report! Sun Xia died in battle! ”

……

The three Zhang Jiao brothers were shocked by the successive defeats.

burst

A mouthful of blood rushed out of his mouth, Zhang Jiao fell down on his back, Zhang Bao hugged him, and called eagerly: "Big brother, big brother, how are you?" ”

Zhang Jiao looked at the sky with lost eyes, and muttered to himself: "One defeat, one defeat." Feng Xiao, after all, you still said it. ”

I remembered that Xu Shu once said that although the Yellow Turban Army was outnumbered, it was difficult to resist the imperial army. Isn't that the case today? The total number of reinforcements is only 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, and the Yellow Turban Army has at least 400,000 people, but now, it is Taiping Dao who has been defeated.

"God won't help me! God won't help me! Zhang Jiao suddenly roared towards the sky.

Blood was still spilling from his mouth, but Zhang Jiao had lost any desire to do business, if he could have attacked Luoyang City an hour earlier, the current situation on the battlefield would never be like this.

"Big brother, big brother, let's withdraw, and come back later." Zhang Bao anxiously looked down at Zhang Jiao in his arms, very worried.

Zhang Jiao shook his head with a miserable smile and said, "You guys should withdraw quickly, the big brother has reached the limit, and his life is not long." Zhang Bao, Zhang Liang, eldest brother hates, you and my three brothers have been displaced since childhood, tasted all the hardships of the world, saw through the heat and coldness of the world, and were determined to help the world and save the people from fire and water, why did they fall short? Why? How can the emperor of the Han dynasty be able to live in a high hall and be the master of all peoples? Emperor? Emperor? Was this Son of Heaven sent by Heaven to benefit the people, or was he sent by Heaven to torture the people?"

Zhang Jiao's eyes widened suddenly, the blood in the corners of his eyes slipped down his sockets, his eyes gradually dimmed, and at the last moment of his life, Zhang Jiao grabbed Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang's hands, and shouted sadly to the sky: "Fengxiao, I'm unwilling!" ”

Zhang Bao hugged Zhang Jiao's corpse tightly, Zhang Liang threw himself on Zhang Jiao's corpse, the two brothers howled and cried, and the Yellow Turban Army around them also wept.

Zhang Jiao, the founder of Taiping Dao, fell as a great sage and mentor.
