Chapter 36: The Yellow Turban Uprising
At 10 o'clock in the morning on April 1, Ye Teng entered the game on time, pushed open the door, and saw Cai Hui waiting outside the door, obviously having something important to report.
"Chengye, what's so urgent?"
"My lord, we have been attacked by the Yellow Turban Army for the past three days, and the scale is not very large, and we have all repulsed them. But this morning, we received a request for help from Shilongzhai, and they were besieged by 50,000 Yellow Turban troops, and there were more than 10,000 third-order soldiers. ”
"How long can they hold out in the face of danger?"
"It's okay for a week, but there is a risk of heavy casualties for more than a week."
"Then a week, tell Guo Yong that not only must hold on, but also leave a certain counteroffensive force. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon of April 7, the reinforcements of Qianbizhai will launch an attack on time, and the troops of Shilongzhai will find an opportunity to launch a counteroffensive, strive for the cooperation of the inside and the outside, and eliminate the 50,000 yellow turbans at one time. ”
"Yes, my lord." Cai Hui saluted and turned to leave.
Next, Ye Teng checked the battle situation of the troops in the past few days, and found that Qianbi Village had actually eliminated no less than 10,000 Yellow Turban Army, it seems that the Yellow Turban is really fierce.
The loss of the troops is not large, less than 1,000 people, which is also because the strength of the Yellow Turban Army that came to attack Qianbi Village is low, the third-order soldiers are rare, and the proportion of second-order soldiers is not high, and the overall quality of soldiers is between the junior cottage bandits and the intermediate cottage bandits. The generals are also mainly junior and intermediate-level generals.
As for the Yellow Turban Army attacking Shilongzhai, it is estimated that the main force is already equivalent to the quality of bandits in high-level cottages.
It seems that the form is not optimistic, as far as the overall situation in the mountainous area west of Jingcheng County is concerned, the mastermind should be to turn all the bandits in the game into the Yellow Turban Army. Although Cai Hui led the team to eliminate a lot before, it is conservatively estimated that there are at least one million people.
In the mountainous area west of Jingcheng County, the only one who can pose a threat to them is Ye Teng's troops, and the other players are relatively weak, and it is estimated that they will disappear in less than a month.
At that time, without the containment of the majority of players, as long as the Yellow Turban Army takes out half of its troops to deal with Ye Teng, Qianbi Village may not be able to hold it.
Therefore, it is necessary to seize the time to take the initiative to attack, take advantage of the golden moment when there are still the majority of players to suppress, eliminate the living force of the Yellow Turban Army, and make the Yellow Turban Battle in the western mountains of Jingcheng County enter the stalemate stage as soon as possible.
The next day, Ye Teng still arranged for Cai Hui to stay in Qianbi Village, and told him to strengthen the investigation work, grasp the movements of the Yellow Turban Army in advance, and eliminate the living force of the Yellow Turban Army at the lowest cost.
He personally led the expeditionary group and marched towards Shilongzhai.
According to the normal marching speed, Qianbi Village is three days away from Shilong Village.
At this time, the yellow scarves were everywhere, and along the way, the scouts went first, and Ye Teng took the main army as a unit, taking the battalion as a unit, and marched all the way. By the afternoon of April 6, it was less than 30 miles away from Shilongzhai.
Ye Teng ordered the troops to camp on the spot, and asked scouts and a Han army iron cavalry to cover the battlefield. The rest of the troops began to rest, waiting for tomorrow's decisive battle.
On the morning of the next day, the Shilongzhai defended by Guo Yong was still in a state of being besieged by the Yellow Turban Army and defended by Guo Yong's army. Because when the Yellow Turban Army arrived before the war, Guo Yong had already gathered all the troops in the main village of Shilongzhai and abandoned all the other primary cottages, and the war had been going on around Shilongzhai.
Since then, after Ye Teng occupied Shilongzhai, he built 5 checkpoints on the mountain road between the foot of the mountain and Shilongzhai, and three checkpoints had been broken at this time, and the Yellow Turban Army was attacking the fourth checkpoint.
The defending troops have suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and the attacking troops are even more fearless of death, with more than 30,000 casualties, plus the scattered Yellow Turban Army that has joined one after another, there are still nearly 30,000 attacking troops, so the Yellow Turban Army's offensive enthusiasm is still high.
Guo Yong watched the sun gradually rise into the sky, and noon was approaching, taking advantage of the interval when the enemy changed the attacking troops, he also changed the last group of left-behind troops with all beards and tails to the checkpoint, and asked them to defend to the end.
The remaining troops had just been replaced, and the next wave of attacks from the Yellow Turbans was imminent. Once again, the entire battlefield became a mill of flesh and blood.
At this time, the Yellow Turban Army was divided into two parts, one part was the troops attacking at the foot of the mountain, nearly 10,000 people; The other part consisted of about 20,000 troops, about 20,000 men, who were resting in makeshift camps about 3 miles away from the attacking troops.
Ye Teng also divided his attacking troops into two parts, one part, led by himself, to attack the attacking troops; In the other part, led by Xie Gengxin, Wan Hao, and Hu Feng, the Yellow Turban Army attacked the temporary camp.
Due to the relatively successful concealment of the previous battlefield, Ye Teng kept moving until he was less than two miles away from the Yellow Turban Army before he was discovered.
At this time, the time just reached 1 o'clock in the afternoon, and Ye Teng's troops decisively attacked.
Although the Yefu troops were inferior in number to the Yellow Turban Army, they far surpassed it in quality. As soon as they came into contact, they were devastated, and the Yellow Turban Army couldn't resist it at all.
Fortunately, at this time, the Yellow Turban Army was in a period of religious fanaticism, so it did not form a state of great defeat.
But after all, the Yellow Turban Army is also flesh and blood, although there was no major rout, but it also began to retreat, and even grassroots leaders began to flee.
A full hour after the attack began, the Yellow Turbans still had not recovered from their chaotic state.
At this time, Guo Yong had not participated in the main battalion directly under the war, and launched a counteroffensive from the cottage. The Yellow Turban Army, which was attacking at the foot of the mountain, faced a flank attack from the front and back, and finally could not resist it and began to flee in a big rout.
Then, like a plague, the rout spread throughout the Yellow Turban Army. After several mid- and high-ranking generals were killed, the Yellow Turban Army lost its will to resist and began to rout.
Ye Teng ordered to be chased and killed.
In the end, after a full three hours of fighting, only a few Yellow Turbans managed to escape, and all the others were killed.
During the war, no one in the Yellow Turbans surrendered. Therefore, although the battle went smoothly, Ye Teng's troops still suffered heavy losses.
In this battle, from the time when the Yellow Turban Army besieged Shilongzhai, Yefu eliminated more than 50,000 people of the Yellow Turban Army, Shilongzhai lost a total of about 13,000 troops, and Ye Teng's main force lost more than 1,000 people.
As a reward, Ye Teng handed Guo Yong a primary special class - Qi Jiajun token, 200 Zhonghua Fan Dan.
After the war, Ye Teng's conquest regiment and the main force of Shilongzhai all replenished their losses from the remaining troops in Shilongzhai, and all the third-order peak soldiers with C-level qualifications directly took the intermediate Avatar Pill and turned into a primary special class.
After replenishment, the combat effectiveness of Ye Teng's troops increased instead of decreasing.
Since in the short term, Ye Teng's main goal was to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in the west of Jingcheng County, so Ye Teng's battle group was directly placed in Shilong Village in the short term, forming a trend of watching and helping each other with Qianbi Village. At the same time, the main goal is to exterminate the Yellow Turban Army in the surrounding area.
In the following three months, the troops led by Ye Teng and Cai Hui continued to attack, using tactics such as luring the enemy to ambush, besieging the enemy for reinforcements, focusing on anti-guests, harassing and sneaking attacks, and decapitating and defeating the enemy, carefully controlling our casualties and destroying the enemy's living forces.
By mid-July, after the Yellow Turban Army in the west of Jingcheng County was wiped out by the Ye family army of about 300,000, there were less than 100,000 left, and they were scattered in various cottages to survive, and they had lost the ability to attack Qianbi Village and Shilong Village on a large scale, and the Ye family army also lost 40,000 people.
