Chapter 52: The Fall of the Yellow Turban (3)
On the second day, after lunch, the Yellow Turban soldiers bragged and talked about things that others did not know, and they were comparing things to see who said something new.
At this time, a voice attracted everyone, and only one soldier was heard to say: "Do you know, in fact, the brothers we escaped are fine, even if the Han army captures us, they will not kill us, but will entertain them well." ”
As soon as these words came out, it immediately set off a storm in the hearts of all the Yellow Turban soldiers, and the Yellow Turban soldiers did not dare to flee on the one hand because they were taken by Zhang Liang, and more importantly, they were afraid that the Han army outside the city would be arrested and executed.
The soldier said slowly, "I tell you, you can't spread the word, or I'll be out of luck." ”
Dozens of Yellow Turban soldiers around shouted that they would never spread the word, and one soldier said impatiently: "I said that if you don't say it, you will sell it." ”
The Yellow Turban soldier looked at the expectant gazes from everyone, and said slowly with satisfaction: "Don't hide it from my brothers, I was caught by the Han army outside the city when I went out that night, but they didn't embarrass me, but asked me if I would like to go back to be an ordinary person or continue to be a yellow turban thief." ”
"Of course I mean to be an ordinary citizen, a man who looks like a general told me that I must not be a thief again, and then he gave me a few meals of good food and drink and then let me go, and I thought that I could not just abandon my brothers here, so I turned back and told them the news, I am leaving tonight." The soldier said half-truthfully.
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the Yellow Turban soldier suddenly became anxious and said: "The general also said that as long as you want to stop being a thief, you will never be embarrassed to go back to be an ordinary person, but if you resist to the death in Guangzong City, you will be beheaded once the city is broken." ”
After the soldier said this, many soldiers believed it.
The same thing happened in several places in the Yellow Turbans, and they conveyed a common message that the Han army outside the city would not kill the Yellow Turban soldiers who escaped from the city.
Although the Yellow Turban soldier repeatedly stressed not to tell anyone else, the incident quickly spread among the Yellow Turbans.
That night, many Yellow Turban soldiers fled again, and some of the Yellow Turban Commanders also saw what happened today, so they naturally tried their best to stop it, and when they saw that they couldn't stop it, they simply fled with the soldiers.
The next day, the number of Yellow Turban troops in the city was counted, and there were more than 2,000 soldiers, including some army commanders, even chiefs, and 100 generals.
Zhang Liang was angry again, Zhang Yan was still lying on the bed now, so he had to behead a few more senior generals to show warning.
Zhang Liang's actions not only did not suppress these Yellow Turban soldiers, but made many Yellow Turban generals feel cold, Zhang Yan, as the general of the Yellow Turban Army, has always been deeply used by Zhang Jiao, but he didn't expect to be beaten by Zhang Liang because of a little thing, and he is still lying in bed; Today, Zhang Liang beheaded several more generals, which made many generals feel distracted.
After Zhang Yan, who was lying on the hospital bed, heard this, she called Zhang Liang confused, and fainted angrily.
As if to prove that the rumors in the Yellow Turban Army yesterday were not false, in the afternoon of the same day, outside Guangzong City, the Yellow Turban soldiers who escaped and were arrested last night shouted to Guangzong City that they were good in the Han army, and the Han army promised to let them go tomorrow, and behind them stood the Han soldiers who were waiting for them.
This stimulated the Yellow Turban soldiers in the city even more, and the Yellow Turban soldiers who were still hesitant last night made up their minds to escape today, rather than trembling all day long in the city and suffering from Zhang Liang's obscenity, it was better to flee directly, and some soldiers saw that they had fled so much, and the city was difficult to hold, so they also fled.
In less than ten days, the Yellow Turban Army fled more than 100,000 times, although Zhang Liang kept killing the generals in the army, but he could not stop the escape of the Yellow Turban Army, and many generals also took the lead in escaping in order not to be killed by Zhang Liang the next day.
For a time, the Yellow Turban Army in the city became the Chu Army in ambush on all sides, and those Yellow Turban soldiers outside the city who said that they were treated very well in the Han Army were like Chu Qu; The Yellow Turban soldiers only thought about how to escape, and the Han army outside the city was also very cooperative, never attacking the city, and took those captured Yellow Turban soldiers to make speeches outside the city every day.
There are only tens of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers left in the city, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rest are Yellow Turban diehards.
Looking at the erosive situation in Guangzong City, Zhang Yan, who was supported by the guards to inspect, could only cry out in vain, thinking that the great sage and good teacher raised his arms and shouted, and the servants gathered, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and the Han army who killed all the way abandoned the armor and dragged the soldiers, but I didn't expect that in just a few months, the Yellow Turban Army had reached the point where it is now.
Zhang Liang counted the number of people every day, and continued his singing and dancing after getting angry, completely ignoring the erosive situation in Guangzong City, and some of the die-hard generals of the Yellow Turban did not dare to dissuade them, because those generals who went to dissuade were all beheaded by Zhang Liang for the crime of rebellion.
On this day, the Han army suddenly launched a fierce attack, and there was a great momentum of not giving up until Guangzong City was captured.
Zhang Liang got the news of the Han army's siege of the city, and immediately asked the guards to send an order for Zhang Yan to lead his troops to defend the city, and Zhang Yan, who got the order, immediately went to defend the city with his wounds.
This time the Han army's attack was very fierce, although the Yellow Turban Army on the city repelled the Han army besieging the city again and again, but the Han army was like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, and launched an attack on Guangzong City again and again.
This siege lasted until noon, and it was still not clear, there was blood everywhere on the city wall, and the corpses of the Han army and the Yellow Turban army were piled up under the city wall, and the city of Guangzong was filled with a strong smell of blood.
At this time, only the sound of war drums sounded among the Han army, and it turned out that Huangfu Song saw that Guangzong City could not be attacked for a long time, so he personally beat the drum to cheer for the Han army.
Seeing that the main general personally beat the drums to help, the Han army stepped on the corpse under his feet, and once again launched a fierce attack on Guangzong City.
Guangzong City was finally torn open by the brave Han army, and the Han army, which had obtained the breakthrough point, attacked even more fiercely.
Seeing the Han army attacking the city, many Yellow Turban soldiers abandoned their armor and fled.
Zhang Yan killed dozens of fleeing soldiers, but he still couldn't stop the Yellow Turban soldiers from fleeing.
More and more Han troops attacked the city wall, and the Han army that killed the city wall guarded the breakthrough point of the city wall, waiting for more robes to come up.
Seeing that Guangzong City was really difficult to keep, Zhang Yan also took care of it so much, and he also shouldered the last life given to him by Zhang Jiao, so he had to escape from the city wall with his cronies, and escaped from Guangzong City with Zhang Ning and his subordinates.
The main generals defending the city fled, and the Yellow Turban soldiers also retreated, some surrendered directly to the Han army, and some fled directly outside the city.
Knowing the news that Guangzong City had been captured by the Han army, Zhang Liang scolded for a while, hurriedly packed up his soft clothes, fled with his cronies, and went to Zhang Bao in Julu.
The city of Guangzong was broken, and the city of Guangzong, which had been besieged for more than half a year, was captured by the Han army.
The Han army attacked the city and lost Zhang Liang, and Huangfu Song personally led the cavalry and pursued outside the city of Guangzong under the leadership of several Yellow Turban soldiers.
How can a two-legged one run more than a four-legged one, Zhang Liang was caught up by Huangfu Song's cavalry not long after leaving the city, and the reason why he was able to find them in so many fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers was inseparable from Zhang Liang's bright clothes.
Zhang Liang looked at the more than 100 cavalry Han soldiers who had caught up, and then looked at the more than 200 soldiers around him, and shouted loudly: "Kill a Han soldier, reward 20 times, and the official will be promoted to one level." At the critical moment, Zhang Liang didn't care about these things outside his body.
When money and power work, hearing Zhang Liang's reward, these yellow turban soldiers rushed towards the Han cavalry with a roar.
At this moment, I saw two horsemen rushing out of the Han army, one of whom was lying on silkworm eyebrows, with a long beard fluttering, holding a long iron long knife; Another leopard with a head and eyes, wearing fine armor and holding a spear, shouted: "Zhang Liang Xiao'er takes his life!" The sound was like thunder, and Zhang Liang's legs were so weak that he almost fell to the ground.
These two people are Guan Yu and Zhang Fei who came with Huangfu Song, and the two generals passed by, and the Yellow Turban soldiers had no enemies.
No matter how rich you are, you have to have your life to spend it, seeing that the Han army was very brave, the Yellow Turban Army, which was quite imposing just now, scattered in a hurry and fled in all directions.
Zhang Liang was captured alive, and although Zhang Liang begged for mercy vigorously, Guan Yu unceremoniously tied him up and threw him on a war horse.
Back in Guangzong City, Huangfu Song counted the losses and captures of the Han army, and then ordered the three armies to carnival to celebrate the victory of the Han army.
At noon the next day, Huang Fu Song gathered the three armies, rows of Han soldiers stood there neatly, quietly waiting for Huang Fu Song's order, some Han soldiers on the edge of the school field escorted those captured Yellow Turban soldiers, holding big knives, the atmosphere was extremely solemn, and there were also the people in the city invited by Huang Fu Song, and the people looked at the captured Yellow Turban soldiers and pointed.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Huangfu Song signaled everyone to be quiet, and then said loudly: "The yellow turban anti-thief, messing with my Han family, today catch the thief Zhang Liang, and behead ......"
The knife and axe hand rose and fell, and Zhang Liang whimpered.
Huangfu Song, also known as the Han army, picked up Zhang Jiao's grave, killed the corpse and sent it to the Beijing division together with Zhang Liang's head, and reported the victory to the Han Emperor.
At this time, Dong Zhuo, who was far away in Hedong County, was angry and kept scolding, the reason was that Zhang Jiao died like this, he had besieged Guangzong for so long, that Zhang Jiao did not braid, and he had just been transferred away by the imperial court because of the disadvantage of the battle, but he died not long after, this great credit was so cheap Huangfu Song, can Dong Zhuo not be angry.
After Jia Rong came to Hedong County with the Xiliang Army, he was only busy training every day, constantly practicing his own camp and cavalry, and the methods of training were also endless, what jungle warfare, mountain warfare, and plain impact warfare were all rehearsed, and now the most lacking soldier is the experience of the battlefield.
