Chapter 66: Attacking the Yellow Turban Camp

Zhang Liang underestimated the combat effectiveness of Liu Guanzhang and the Han army, and Liu Guanzhang, who was ambushed, rose up to fight back and joined the Han army that arrived!

Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Army gradually collapsed because it was flanked by the Han army, and some Yellow Turban soldiers turned around and fled. Zhang Liang saw that the situation was not good, so he had to retreat.

Even if it is an ambush, it depends on who the ambush is aimed at and whether there are reinforcements.

Chu Tian slashed over a Yellow Turban soldier, blood splattered on his face, and the smell of blood stimulated him, and his breathing was a little short.

He rode a war horse, holding a martial arts knife captured from the Yellow Turban general Zhang Min in his hand, and pursued the Yellow Turban soldiers with Hua Mulan and Xia Zhen light cavalry.

The fleeing Yellow Turbans exposed their backs, and the cavalry could easily pursue them.

Two legs can't run four legs.

The lords with cavalry quickly expanded their gains, and a large number of the Yellow Turbans fell on the way to escape.

The cavalry of Prince Yan, the lord of Youzhou, was faster and won military merits.

Chu Tian finally noticed this lord from Youzhou, and the other party seemed to be a player who made a fortune in a muffled voice. In fact, the lord with more than two hundred cavalry is already the best among all players.

The existence of the military merit system caused many lords to fall into madness, and for the sake of the official positions and rewards of the Han court, they had to take risks and fight bravely to kill the enemy.

The more exploits, the greater the rewards.

The Han army kept chasing Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Army and drove Zhang Liang back to the Yellow Turban military camp.

"Open the gate!"

The Yellow Turban generals guarding the gate of the Yellow Turban Army Camp hurriedly led a group of Yellow Turban soldiers to open the wooden city gate and meet Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked a little embarrassed, Liu Guanzhang and the Sanhe cavalry were stronger than he estimated, obviously ambushing the Han army, but they were chased and killed by the Han army.

Zhang Liang returned to the camp with the Yellow Turban Chief, and immediately shouted: "Close the city gates!" ”

"But the general, and the brothers are ...... outside the city."

"Obey military orders! If you don't close the city gates immediately, once the officers and soldiers come in, everyone will be killed! ”

Zhang Liang was ruthless, and the heavy wooden door of the Yellow Turban military camp began to close, and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had not had time to escape into the camp were blocked outside the wooden door. The Han army cleared the Yellow Turban Army in front of the Yellow Turban Army's camp, but the Yellow Turban Army in the camp was powerless.

"The rebel army is an rebel army after all, and on the premise that the army of the imperial court has not lost its combat effectiveness, it is simply unable to resist the officers and soldiers."

Chu Tian followed the Han army and pursued it until the edge of the range of bows and arrows in the Yellow Turban military camp, and then he stopped the army.

Zhou Yafu's infantry was like hedgehogs, and he also had the aura of allies brought by Mulan, so the losses in this battle were small. Mulan's cavalry was responsible for chasing and killing, bringing a lot of military exploits to Chutian.

Liu Sandao's archers also killed and injured a lot of yellow turbans, and these military exploits were all counted on Chu Tian's head.

"Capture the camp of the Yellow Turbans and exterminate the Yellow Turban thieves!"

The Han army gathered 38,000 people, and took advantage of the declining morale of the Yellow Turban Army to prepare to uproot the Yellow Turban military camp in one fell swoop.

Liu Bei was ambushed by Zhang Liang, although he repelled Zhang Liang with the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the strength of the Sanhe cavalry, Liu Bei was shot in the shoulder, and a Han army doctor helped Liu Bei heal his wounds.

The Han army, which was preparing to storm the Yellow Turban camp, plundered the Yellow Turban Army's improvised ladders and distributed them to some of the lords.

Chu Tian was assigned two ladders.

This was the first time that Xia Zhen attacked a camp defended by wooden walls and arrow towers.

Attacking the city was more difficult than defending the city, and Zhou Yafu resolutely refused to let Chutian participate in the siege.

The battlefield was full of stray arrows, as well as stones, simmers, and oil, and if Chu Tian, as the lord, personally led his troops to attack the city, he was likely to be killed by the defenders.

Therefore, in ancient times, the general monarch would not risk attacking the city by himself, and the first generals who attacked the city were fierce generals, and they really risked their lives to bring the troops up.

In order to boost morale, it was necessary to have a general or junior or middle- and lower-ranking officer personally lead the soldiers to attack the city.

Chutian wanted to choose the officers who would besiege the city.

In this Yellow Turban Rebellion, from defending the city to attacking the city, Chu Tian was accumulating experience.

In the previous village battles, there was no need to even use the ladder, and it would be good for the generals to concentrate on attacking the opponent's village gate with their soldiers. The large-scale battles were different from the skirmishes that Summertown had experienced in the past.

"Lord, let me lead my troops to attack the Yellow Turban military camp."

Mulan took the initiative to ask.

"You prepare with Gongsun Wu."

Chu Tian considered that there were really no qualified candidates, so he could only send Hua Mulan and a silver-level military general to serve as siege officers.

The Han army and various lords were also rapidly preparing siege squads.

More than four thousand soldiers served as the first offensive echelon, and the second was also ready.

"Zhang Fei wants to be the first to board!"

There was a commotion among the players in the Han camp, and Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to lead the Han army to attack the Yellow Turban camp.

A fierce general with a force of perhaps more than 95 personally put on armor, and this time the siege battle was stable.

"You must be careful, even if you can't capture the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, you must save your life and come back alive."

Chu Tian told Hua Mulan and Gongsun Wu.

They would lead a small group of infantry to attack the city, while Liu Sandao led the archers of Xia Zhen to provide cover for the rain of arrows.

Zhou Yafu led the infantry to prevent the Yellow Turban Army in the camp from counterattacking.

The drums of the Han army sounded, and Zhang Fei and the two military marquis led 2,000 Han troops and 2,000 righteous troops to stand by, using more than 100 simple flying ladders.

The change of offensive and defensive situation was too fast, except for the attack on the main city of Guangzong County, the Han army in other camps did not have heavy siege equipment such as ladder vehicles, siege towers, rushing vehicles, and catapults, so they could only use flying ladders.

A group of well-disciplined Han archers stepped forward, well-armed and carrying quivers. Among the archers of the Han army, there were also soldiers of the Fifth School Shooting Battalion of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty.

The middle and lower officers of the Han army personally led the team and led the archers to suppress the Yellow Turban army on the city wall.

Liu Sandao, sent by Xia Zhen, was also suppressing the archers of the Yellow Turban Army.

Arrows rained down from both sides, the wooden walls were filled with arrows, and hundreds of archers were killed.

Zhang Fei changed into an iron armor, and his burly figure made the iron armor tense.

"Follow me to the city wall and kill the thief!"

Zhang Fei shouted, his morale increased greatly, and the Yellow Turban Army was shocked, and their morale dropped greatly!

"This is Zhang Fei's characteristic?"

Chu Tian noticed Zhang Fei's bonus to the army.

Generally speaking, the exclusive characteristics that come with emperor-level generals are not weak.

Now Zhang Fei is still an ally, if he becomes an enemy in the future, it may be very tricky, and Chu Tian also needs to know as much as possible the characteristics, abilities, and character of any historical general.

Zhang Tie, the commander of the Han Army, encouraged everyone in a timely manner: "Those who ascend first will be rewarded with 800 points of military merit and 100 taels of silver!" ”

For a while, everyone was boiling and gearing up, even Liu Bei was a little moved.

The military merits obtained by the cavalry led by Liu Bei did not belong to him completely, it was Lu Zhi's soldiers and horses. He needs more military merit to become the prime minister of the plains.

Liu Bei put his hope on Zhang Fei: "Third brother, try to go first." ”

Zhang Fei patted his chest: "Big brother, don't worry, I must be the first to board this time, and no one here can compete with me!" ”
