Chapter 760: Xiliang's army is defeated
"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand!"
The Xiliang Army encountered the Yellow Turban Army for the first time, and it was the Yellow Turban Army at its peak, the Yellow Turban Army at this time, led by the three brothers Zhang Jiao, fought with the Xiliang Army, and the Yellow Turban Army directly entered a state of frenzy, and various attributes improved rapidly!
The fanatical Yellow Turban Army brandished all kinds of weapons and shouted slogans, desperately attacking the Xiliang Army, which usually terrified them.
When the advantages of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry could not be brought into play, the Yellow Turban Army also dared to challenge the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
The Western Liang cavalry rode on a war horse, condescendingly, and stabbed the Yellow Turban Army to death with a spear, and the Yellow Turban Army relied on the number of people, and several Yellow Turban soldiers besieged a Western Liang cavalry.
A Yellow Turban soldier used an iron rake to hook the Xiliang cavalry from the war horse, and the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers swarmed up, killing the Xiliang cavalry who was higher than themselves with low attack power.
"These people are like locusts!"
Pound cut down a few Yellow Turban soldiers, and in the face of the dense Yellow Turban soldiers, his scalp was a little numb.
Except for Yizhou, the Yellow Turban Army has not been active in other states and counties of the Han Empire for a long time, and the army of Liangzhou has not experienced the madness of the Yellow Turban Army for a long time.
However, in the wooden gate road of Qishan, the Xiliang army re-witnessed the horror of the Yellow Turban Army.
As long as the Xiliang cavalry is not allowed to run, then the fanatical Yellow Turban soldiers will be invincible and go forward to fight with the Xiliang army.
"Third brother, you lead the Yellow Turban Lux and the Yellow Turban Chief, and leave the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!"
Zhang Jiao saw that there was a well-equipped heavy cavalry unit in the army, and knew that this was the most elite cavalry of the Xiliang Army. As long as this cavalry is defeated, the Xiliang army will be defeated.
The tall Yellow Turban Warrior wearing iron armor strode closely behind Zhang Liang, who had the highest martial force among the three Zhang Jiao brothers.
This group of Yellow Turban wrestlers is the most elite heavy infantry of the Yellow Turban Army!
The recruitment mechanism of Yellow Turban Lux is also a bit special, and hundreds of first-order Yellow Turban soldiers can give birth to a Yellow Turban Lux Warrior!
The Yellow Turban Lux holds a hammer in his hand, hammers the Xiliang soldiers, and directly kills the low-level Xiliang infantry in seconds!
Even if the war horse of the Xiliang cavalry is hit by a hammer, it will be severely damaged or killed!
Zhang Liang dragged a long knife in his right hand, rushed to kill in the Xiliang cavalry, and led the Yellow Turban wrestlers to shake the Xiliang Iron Cavalry!
Xiliang Iron Cavalry couldn't charge, so he could only ride a war horse, move around the small-scale battlefield, and fight hand-to-hand with the Yellow Turban Warriors!
The spear of the Xiliang Iron Rider pierced the armor of the Yellow Turban Warrior, and the crazy Yellow Turban Warrior killed the war horse of the Xiliang Iron Rider with an iron hammer!
The Yellow Turban Lux went specifically to target the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in Longxi County, while Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led the rebel army at the end of Qin to attack from the flank.
Chen Sheng pulled out his saber and pointed forward: "Release the arrow!" ”
Five thousand peasant troops armed with Qin crossbows and divine arm bows threw a rain of arrows at the Xiliang army, provoking the professional soldiers from Xiliang.
Thousands of crossbow arrows flew out, and hundreds of Xiliang infantry and cavalry were shot and killed, falling to the muddy ground!
"Death to Lao Tzu!"
Li Zicheng put on heavy armor and personally led the army of King Chuang into the soldiers and horses of Hanyang County!
Li Zicheng slashed a few Xiliang soldiers, and shocked Xiliang!
Although the force of King Li Zicheng is not as good as that of a first-class famous general, it is easy to kill ordinary Xiliang soldiers.
The 50,000 Xiliang army was swallowed up by the 150,000 peasant army, and 9,000 people were killed!
Five peasant armies, 15,000 killed!
The proportion of losses between the Xiliang army and the peasant army is not proportional, but the cost of the Xiliang cavalry is not at the same level as the cost of the peasant army.
"If you don't consider the population problem, the cost of recruiting one Xiliang cavalry is enough for me to recruit twenty or thirty Yellow Turban soldiers. Even if it is a yellow turban chief and a yellow turban wrestler, it is worth it to exchange for the seventh-order Xiliang Iron Ride. ”
Zhang Dao saw that the peasant army had suffered more losses and did not care.
Replacing the Xiliang Army with a peasant army is acceptable to Zhang Dao.
Fortunately, the Xiliang Army did not have generals like Yue Fei and Li Xiuning who had greatly restored the morale of the legion, otherwise the outcome would be unpredictable.
Zhang Dao bullied the morale and low physical strength of the Xiliang army, so he launched an attack.
"You guys go quickly, I'll break off with Pound!"
Xu Huang held the mountain axe in his hand and killed a yellow turban wrestler!
The three county taishou had a bloodless face, and their mentality had collapsed, so Xu Huang asked them to retreat, otherwise, the three county taishou would all be killed.
"Zhang Dao, how can his army have such combat effectiveness? The ratio of losses between the peasant army and the regular army is less than two to one! ”
The three aliens were too guarded, they were originally underestimated and could never beat Zhang Dao in Hanzhong, but as soon as Zhang Dao made a move, the goal was to annihilate the 50,000 Xiliang army, almost succeeding!
"Retreat, retreat to Shangtai City, General Xu Huang, the next battlefield will be handed over to you!"
The Taishou of Longxi County led the cavalry and fled.
Treated as an outcast by the three Inhuman Lords, Pound fought bloodily, rushing back and forth among the crazy peasant army, killing hundreds of peasant troops in a row!
"General, our cavalry is getting fewer and fewer, and if this continues, we will all die in battle!"
Pang De commanded the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
Three thousand Xiliang iron horsemen were killed by Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Commander and Yellow Turban Warriors, and almost all the troops were wiped out.
The fanatical Yellow Turban Lux fought for his life and exchanged with the Xiliang Iron Horse.
If the Xiliang Iron Rider wants to kill the Yellow Turban Force, he will be seriously injured or killed!
"The lord ordered us to guard Xiliang, how can we be defeated!"
Pound fought bloodily, drenched in blood, and his vision was obscured by his own blood.
"Whew, Whew......"
Pound gasped for breath, his physical strength was exhausted, and as far as he could see, there were at least a hundred thousand peasant troops, and he alone could not kill more than 100,000 people.
"Deus Ex!"
There are only four hundred Xiliang Iron Riders left around Pang De, and they will fight with a knife!
Pound condescended and killed a Yellow Turban wrestler with one sword!
A galloping black shadow killed, and Zhang Liang's target was directly at Pang De, wanting to kill Pang De.
The two of them almost passed by, and the two long knives slashed out at the same time, and the blades overflowing with cold light collided, making a piercing grinding sound!
Zhang Liang's hands holding the long knife were trembling, Pang De's strength was quite amazing, and Zhang Liang's blade almost came off.
"His physical strength is almost exhausted, why can't I kill him!"
Zhang Liang was originally confident in his own force, but when he fought with Pang De face to face, he could know the gap between them.
If Pound's stamina is sufficient and the two fight, he will be killed by Pound.
"His physical strength is exhausted, you kill him!"
Pound was still breaking through, and Zhang Liang commanded the Yellow Turban soldiers and Yellow Turban wrestlers to besiege Pound.
One by one, the Yellow Turban soldiers swung their knives to attack, but they fell under Pound's big knife, and their flesh and blood were blurred!
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry was not so easy to kill, and the four hundred Xiliang Iron Cavalry were rampaging among the tens of thousands of Yellow Turban Army, and almost every cavalry had several people in their hands, and their armor was shattered!
When Pound ventured to break through, there were only thirty Xiliang Iron Cavalry left by his side!
……
"Lord Taishou, a total of 16,000 Xiliang troops were eliminated in this battle, and 7,000 people were captured."
The battle of Mumendao in which the Hanzhong army besieged the Xiliang army ended half a day later, and the Xiliang army suffered an unprecedented defeat, with nearly half of the 50,000 troops participating in the battle either dead or surrendered, and half fled.
The peasant army that Xiliang Tieqi looked down on taught them a hard lesson.
On the entire battlefield, the number of Longxi war horses killed in the battle exceeded 20,000.
Zhang Dao captured as many as 10,000 Longxi war horses.
"The lord of Longxi is really not short of war horses, there are tens of thousands of horses at every turn, and they are good horses."
Zhang Dao inspects the seized loot.
For Longxi County, war horses are not so rare, and Xu Fengnian left a lot of excellent horse farms in Longxi County.
The seven thousand Xiliang troops fell into the captives of Zhang Dao and were deeply humiliated, but they were the vanquished.
"The Xiliang Army is nothing more than that."
Li Zicheng carried a general of the Xiliang Army and threw it to the ground.
The Xiliang army was defeated, and the morale of the peasant army rose sharply.
The main force of the Western Liang Army, part of which was taken to Luoyang by Lao Qin, and the troops left in Liangzhou lost half of it, and basically lost the ability to continue to fight against the Hanzhong Army.
"Our hole cards have been known by the Xiliang army, but the Xiliang army no longer has the courage to fight us, their morale will not be able to recover for a while and a half, and the strength is not enough. We marched into Shangtai City, occupied Hanyang County, and threatened Guanzhong. ”
It takes time for the Western Liang Army to recruit soldiers, and the newly recruited soldiers, in front of the battle-hardened peasant army, will also be defeated.
Unless Xiliang has other soldiers and horses, he can repel the Guanzhong army.
"Out of Qi Mountain, attack Qi!"
After Zhang Dao's victory, he did not stop, waved his army north, and hundreds of thousands of rebel troops crossed the wooden gate road and attacked Shangqi City.
At Qishan Fort, when the 8,000 defenders saw the peasant army escorting the captured Xiliang soldiers, they hesitated again and again and chose to surrender to Hanzhong.
The defenders of Qishan Fort did not have God's perspective, thinking that the Western Liang army was defeated, and Zhang Dao might take advantage of the situation to take the entire Liangzhou, and it was meaningless for them to defend Qishan Fort.
More than 100,000 peasant troops came out of Qishan and spread all over the mountains.
After the three counties were defeated and retreated, they did not dare to defend Shangqi, so they simply gave up Shangqi and retreated to Longxi.
Zhang Dao occupied Shangtai without spending a single soldier, and the entire Hanyang County and Liangzhou were shocked!
The news reached Guanzhong, who was then alarmed.
Once the Hanzhong army invades Guanzhong, with the population of Guanzhong, the size of the peasant army may reach one million!
Zhang Dao has a special ability, that is, explosive soldiers!
As long as he is given enough population, he can quickly pull out hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of peasant rebels!
Li Si, who stayed in Chang'an City, was alarmed: "Order Xie Ai, who is stationed in Chencang, to immediately recover Shangqi, and can't let Zhang Dao have a chance to strengthen his troops!" ”
Chen Cang, Liangzhou Assassin Shi Xie Ai garrisoned 50,000 troops to defend Hanzhong, which is a new force. However, Zhang Dao did not attack Chen Cang, but chose to go out of Qishan.
"With our strength alone, it is not enough to compete with Zhang Dao's peasant army, and we can only rely on the strength of the Qiang people and the Di people."
Xie Ai sat in a carriage and led the defenders of Chencang to march upward.
Behind Xie Ai's Xiliang cavalry, there were also Huangzhong Yiconghu, Di infantry and cavalry.
In Shangqi, Zhang Dao exerted the ability of all the leaders of the peasant army to forcibly recruit 100,000 young men in the city to become a peasant rebel army, making his own army more than 200,000!
The city is full of golden armor!
"The number of troops is not enough, at least 400,000."
Zhang Dao looked down at the peasant rebel army in the city, and there was no end in sight.
