Chapter 28 The Current Situation in Jizhou

The next day, the army was mobilized, and since there was no camp, it was very quickly prepared.

"There is Liyang not far ahead, but I want to rest and then determine where to go next." Xi Zhicai looked at the map, and then gave a suggestion.

In fact, this was also Fang Yun's idea, this place should be less than fifty miles away from Liyang, and one day was enough time to get there. The most important thing is that Liyang can go east to Qinghe Kingdom, and to the north is now Guangping County, where the Han army and the Yellow Turban Army are fighting the most.

The advantage of the former is that there are relatively few places to receive the scourge of the Yellow Turbans, in other words, they can get a lot of supplies; The biggest advantage of the latter is that it can fiercely explode the chrysanthemums of the enemy army, and even let the Yellow Turban Army in front cooperate to attack back and forth. Of course, the disadvantage is not impossible, that is, this way north, I am afraid that the supply will be very scarce......

However, now is indeed not the time to consider this, and there is another purpose for going to Liyang this time, that is, to confirm the degree of trouble of the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou and get first-hand information about the Han Army and the Yellow Turban Army. At the same time, check the situation of Liyang's treasury, if Liyang, which is almost a county town in the border area of Jizhou, has been emptied, then the situation in other places is even less optimistic......

The so-called impermanence of the army and the timely adjustment of tactical arrangements according to the best results are the military qualities that a qualified general should have. Liyang is just a stepping stone for the army.

The army began to move eastward, and along the way there were many pedestrians who were fleeing from the north.

Probably seeing the Yellow Turban Army, these homeless people who had already woken up from their initial blindness, Fang Yun and others avoided them, and some people even saw the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army from a distance and quickly detoured. As for those who came to join, there were almost none.

"Jizhou is the place where the Yellow Turban Army first revolted, and the people here are no longer optimistic about it, so the future of the Yellow Turban Army is already dangerous." Seeing this, Xi Zhicai couldn't help but sigh.

"Military advisors, the people are actually very simple, and they will resist if they can't survive, but as long as they have a bite to eat, who will rebel? In the final analysis, everyone is used to being submissive, and it was just the Taiping Sect that drew a big pie, a very tempting pie, so they blindly gave up their lives. But bidding farewell to the initial blindness, they found that this big pie was just drawn, so they would choose to leave rationally. Especially now that the situation is unfavorable to the Yellow Turban Army, those people are afraid that they are no longer optimistic about the future of the Yellow Turban Army, so they would rather go south to be displaced people than be fools. Fang Yun smiled bitterly.

"My lord, then you said that our uprising can still succeed?" Zhou Cang was also confused at the moment.

"Our uprising has just begun! At least, I don't know how to draw cakes, I only know how to give you a big cake! Fang Yun smiled, took out a large cake in his arms, and threw it to Zhou Cang.

"That's right!" Zhou Cang smiled, took the flatbread and nibbled on it.

These words were louder, so even the Yellow Turban soldiers and generals who were farther away heard them. The heart that was originally a little confused was also relieved. It is true that the uprising of the Yellow Turbans has begun to appear dangerous, but their troops are different!

Fang Yun walked very steadily every step, and it really brought them benefits and let them see the future. Just rushing to this and following Fang Yun is the most correct choice, only in this way can we see hope more clearly......

I don't know why, today's army is moving relatively slowly, perhaps because of the situation in Jizhou, Fang Yun can't even let the military band play the military song to quickly improve morale. The normal morale of the whole army is forcibly promoted by relying on the military skills of Xi Zhicai and Xie Yuan to 'boost morale', but after a few times, the two of them are also exhausted.

In any case, Liyang County appeared on the horizon in the end, but unlike before, Liyang County chose to defend it. No matter how promised, no matter how threatened, they would rather hold on than open the door and surrender.

The reason is very simple, Neihuang County in their north opened the door and surrendered, but it was actually slaughtered by the Yellow Turban Army, and everything was robbed. If the Han army hadn't arrived in time, I was afraid that they would have already been killed in Liyang County.

It's just that they can't figure it out, haven't the Yellow Turban thieves been driven to Guangping County by the Han army? Why did such a large Yellow Turban thief suddenly appear, and they directly killed them under Liyang City?!

This doesn't matter anymore, if you don't want to be slaughtered, it's best to defend it, this is the consensus of Liyang City.

"Set up the catapult and get ready!" Fang Yun had no choice but to break the city.

Within today, this city must be defeated, otherwise the Han army will move south at any time, and then cooperate with the defenders of Liyang City to attack them back and forth. Even if this doesn't happen, the army's ration supply or something, I'm afraid that there will be some problems, Fang Yun doesn't want to experience the kind of life that calculates this grain and grass to live, this kind of restriction on tactics is too great!

The engineering battalion began to erect catapults, and unlike before, with the addition of blacksmiths and carpenters from the Dian Iron Workshop, the efficiency increased several times. These blacksmiths and carpenters, Gain, in the generation of their ancestors a long time ago, also set up catapults on the battlefield! This technique is regarded as a family heirloom, and it has been passed down, whether it is used or not, anyway, their descendants have learned it!

In this way, the catapult, which originally took three quarters of an hour to erect, was successfully erected in only a quarter of an hour, which may not rule out the relationship between the large number of people and the great strength. What's more, these catapults have been further improved, with a certain increase in range, accuracy, and most importantly, a much higher load-bearing capacity.

A large number of stones smashed towards Liyang City, and Liyang had no room to fight back. There may be some bed crossbows or similar garrison equipment in the border area to resist it, but there is no such 'heavy equipment' here, so you can only be beaten passively. In the end, under the cover of the catapult, the rushing car successfully smashed the gate open, and the Annoyance Army almost immediately killed it.

Yes, Fang Yun completely regarded this as a leveling, in fact, this kind of battle to seize the door, there was no benefit if there were too many people. It is more orthodox for a small group of elite troops to raid and open up the situation, and then the cavalry charges, with archers and sword and shield soldiers in street fighting, and finally capture the entire city.

The Trouble-Solving Army did not disappoint Fang Yun at all, and almost without reducing one person, they captured the city gate. In fact, in the midst of this, Fang Yun's talent 'curse' caused the enemy's full attributes to decrease, and at the same time, with the BUFF of Taoism, the increase of the exclusive martial arts skill 'Battle Song', and the military skills of Xi Zhicai's military skills 'Boost Morale', 'Reduce the enemy's defense', 'Reduce the enemy's army speed', and 'Increase our army's attack' After a series of operations, the opponent's soldiers only felt weak, and they felt out of breath when they ran.

The already weak and capable garrison of the city suddenly became a sick army, and if the city could not be successfully taken under such circumstances, it would be really hell.

But the only thing that makes people feel is that these soldiers who defend the city fight to the last man, and they refuse to surrender. In their eyes, Fang Yun saw hatred, hatred for the Yellow Turban Army. This is the most real emotion of the people of Jizhou for the Yellow Turban Army at this moment. (To be continued.) )
