Chapter Seventy-Two: Dong Zhuo is here
"The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand! The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky! ”
Hundreds of thousands of Yellow Turban soldiers in Guangzong City shouted slogans, and the momentum shook the heavens and the earth. Originally, the Han army had already gained an advantage and gradually expanded its results, but as a result, the Yellow Turban Army fell into a frenzy and its morale soared!
"Lord, it's raining."
After being reminded by Mulan, Chu Tian found that at some point, the black clouds in the sky converged, and it actually rained lightly.
The winter of the first year of the lord's calendar was a cold winter, and the rain was cold, and the entire Han army camp was panicked.
In such bad weather, the arrows were basically unusable, and the city walls were slippery, which was really bad for the besieging side.
Lu Zhi glanced at the hazy sky, the right time, place and people are indispensable, at this time, when the Han army lost the sky, the momentum disappeared, and it was impossible to break the city today: "This is Zhang Jiao's magic technique, temporarily retreat." The heavy infantry responded to the besieging forces to prevent the Yellow Turbans from leaving the city to counterattack. ”
"Zhang Jiao's magic is so terrifying, and it can also make the wind and clouds change color. If we have such talents, wouldn't we be able to thrive again? ”
Liu Bei looked at Guangzong City, if he had a military advisor who could "witch arts", how good would it be.
"This may be a skill or trait exclusive to Zhang Jiao - Wind and Cloud Change."
When Chu Tian saw the strange weather, he knew that it might be caused by Zhang Jiao.
"The Han army has retreated."
Hua Mulan reminded Chutian again.
Bei Zhonglang collected Lu Zhimingjin's troops, and the large siege equipment slowly retreated, and the Han army reserve stepped forward to respond, not giving the Yellow Turban Army a chance to go out of the city to chase and kill.
"If you want to beat Zhang Jiao, it may not be that simple."
Lu Zhi ordered the Han army to retreat, and the Han camp generally realized that the time was not yet ripe to break the city.
Chu Tian was not in a hurry, even Lu Zhi, who had tens of thousands of Han troops and hundreds of thousands of righteous troops, did not dare to attack Zhang Jiao easily, he did not need to be reckless. Training in the Han army's barracks is no different from training in Xia Town, and at the same time, you can also use the system to instruct Xia Liang, who is also a player, to assist in the construction of Xia Town.
Chu Tian learned that Xia Zhen's Loyal and Righteous Shrine had finally been completed, and it would be more difficult for the morale of Xia Zhen's army to drop in the future, and the cost of appeasing the families of the fallen soldiers would also decrease.
Xia Zhen was protected by the Han Dynasty when he entered the war, so Chu Tian didn't have to worry about Xia Zhen being attacked.
Heavy rain fell for one day, and on the seventh day, the Han army did not attack again.
On the eighth day, the Han army still did not attack.
Day 9......
Some lords couldn't hold back, and they stayed in the barracks without military merit.
"What is Lu Zhi thinking? If you don't attack the city yet, do you want to survive Zhang Jiao? ”
"Maybe that's ...... so"
……
"Drive!"
A group of cavalry galloped in the land of Hebei, the horse's hooves left shallow horseshoe prints on the ground, and the Han generals led by the tiger had a bear's waist and white temples, and had been on the battlefield for a long time.
The cavalry behind him were all fierce generals and experienced in combat.
The flag of the general hunting in the north wind is written with the word "Dong" written in a small seal.
The Han general looked out over the towering county town of Guangzong, where the main forces of the Yellow Turban Army gathered.
"It's been the twelfth day, and Lu Zhi still hasn't moved."
Chu Tian waited patiently for seven days, and Lu Zhi only besieged but did not attack, using a strategy similar to the idea proposed by Zhou Yafu.
However, it may not be a good thing for Chutian, and the rankings in the Eastern Han District are gradually occupied by the lords of the battlefields of Yingchuan County and Nanyang County.
The Yingchuan Yellow Turban was defeated by Huangfu Song, the last god of war in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and a group of lords and free players who followed Huangfu Song to hunt down the Yellow Turban won a lot of military exploits.
The Yellow Turban Army of Nanyang County was trapped in Wancheng and was attacked by Sun Jian and players who supported Sun Jian, and the Yellow Turbans of Wancheng were in danger.
However, the progress of Guangzong County is slow, and many lords and players have very opinions about Lu Zhi because of this.
Chu Tian also had opinions about Lu Zhi, but he believed that Lu Zhi's approach was correct, and only when Zhang Jiao died of illness and the morale of the Yellow Turban Army dropped greatly on the side of Guangzong County could it be easy to capture Guangzong County, which was personally guarded by Zhang Jiao.
Zhang Jiao is the spiritual leader of the Yellow Turban Army, and with him, the morale of the Yellow Turban Army will not drop easily.
"Han reinforcements are coming!"
"How many?"
"Five thousand cavalry!"
A lord noticed a troop of cavalry arriving at Lu Zhi's barracks.
Five thousand cavalry is enough to make the early lords crazy!
No lord could recruit five thousand cavalry in the first half of the year. It's just 5,000 war horses, worth 10,000 gold, not counting the monthly expenditure on raising horses, and the cavalry's money!
Five thousand cavalry went straight to the main camp of the Han army. These 5,000 cavalry were high-spirited and well-equipped, and they seemed to be higher than the light cavalry in Xia Zhen in terms of rank and rank.
The Han generals led by him turned over and dismounted, with thick arms, wearing two pairs of quivers, and strode with dozens of personal soldiers to find Lu Zhi.
"Dong Ziqi?"
When Chu Tian saw the banner of the cavalry, he only thought of one possibility - Dong Zhuo is here!
Then most of this group of cavalry is the Xiliang cavalry!
The Western Liang cavalry can also be subdivided into different arms.
The Xiliang light cavalry is a third-order cavalry, and the Xiliang iron cavalry is a heavy cavalry with a higher rank.
The five thousand cavalry that arrived were only the third-order Xiliang light cavalry. Even so, the third-order cavalry had already made countless lords envious. And the combat effectiveness of the Xiliang light cavalry may be stronger than that of the light cavalry of other states.
Zhang Tie, the military commander who was in charge of Chutian's group of players, summoned them and announced the change of the Han army's camp on the battlefield in Guangzong County: "The imperial court believes that Beizhonglang will only besiege Lord Lu Zhi and not attack, and it is not good to crusade against the Yellow Turbans, so it ordered Dongzhonglang to take charge of the Jizhou battlefield and completely pacify the Yellow Turban Army. ”
Many players, including Chu Tian, changed color slightly after confirming that the person who came was really Dong Zhuo.
Dong Zhuo was a fierce general in the late Han Dynasty who fought the Xiongnu and Qiang people, but whether in history or romance, Dong Zhuo did not seem to have achieved results in fighting the Yellow Turban, and was condemned by the imperial court.
The Xiliang light cavalry was very fierce in the plain area and the border fortress, but it was useless in the face of the eight-meter-high city wall of Guangzong County.
"According to Dong Zhuo's character and the urging of the imperial court, he should choose to attack, this time it may be bad."
Chu Tian secretly complained.
Although Lu Zhi's tactics seem to be cowardly, they are steady enough, and they will definitely win if they hold on to the future, especially under the premise that the other two battlefields are victorious.
Now the change of generals has given the Yellow Turban Army an opportunity.
"I didn't expect the imperial court to remove me. Xuande, you have to work your own. ”
Lu Zhi was punished by the imperial court, handed over the military power to Dong Zhuo, and said goodbye to the captains of the Han military academy and Liu Bei.
A cavalry led by Liu Bei was finally recovered by Dong Zhuo, and without Lu Zhi's big backer, he did not have many opportunities to obtain military merits.
There are only three people, Liu Guanzhang, and no matter how much military merit they have obtained with their personal strength, they can't catch up with the lords with soldiers and horses.
Lu Zhi was escorted to Luoyang by a small group of Han soldiers, and now he is guilty of sin.
A team of soldiers and horses waited for Lu Zhi outside the Han army camp and came to bid farewell to Lu Zhi.
Lu Zhi looked at the young man he didn't know: "You should be a leader of the rebel army, right?" ”
"In Chutian, Langya Kingdom, Xiaxuzhou, I was fortunate to meet Lord Lu."
