Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The battle outside the martial arts city lasted for most of the day, and countless people died in Huangquan during this half of the day, and some lucky people had a lot of gains.
In the end, Huangfu Song had to order a retreat, but the reason was that he was very aggrieved.
In fact, as far as the armies of the two sides are concerned, the court camp led by Huangfu Song still has an advantage, after all, the number of people is much more than the other party, and when the battle is later fought, the court army is waiting for work, which also makes the advantage of the court camp more obvious.
However, due to the super force of the rebel leader Ma Chao, the morale of the army under his command has greatly increased. And because there are almost no enemies on the side of the imperial court camp, there are constantly military generals killed by them, which makes many imperial court troops in a state of leaderlessness, and ten percent of their strength can only exert seven or eight percent. It was a tie with the rebels.
Huangfu Song is also a person with outstanding insight, although the army he led is now at a disadvantage, but he can't be completely blamed, after all, Ma Chao's strength is too strong, and he didn't fully estimate Ma Chao's strength before. But now Huangfu Song knows that if the battle continues like this, there will definitely be only a small number of people on both sides who can survive, so it will be unfavorable to him from the perspective of the entire battle situation.
Although it seems that after both sides were defeated, they went back to the city to recuperate, and it seemed that they were evenly matched, and no one took advantage, but don't forget that now the court camp can no longer send a decent army, but the rebel camp still has Ma Teng and Han Sui's two armies, and the most important thing is that these two armies are not far from Xianyang City, if they march at full speed. At most, it will take five or six days to come to Xianyang City. If there were too many casualties in the army under his command, it would definitely affect the safety of Xianyang City.
In desperation, Huangfu Song had no choice but to order the withdrawal of the army and return to Xianyang City.
For Huangfu Song's withdrawal, Ma Chao did not order to chase, as soon as the imperial army retreated, the formation was not chaotic, even if he led the army to catch up, he would not be able to get much benefit. At the same time, his main task now is to prevent Huangfu Song's army from supporting Meiyang City, as long as the other party cannot cross the Thunder Pond for half a step. Then it has nothing to do with him. As for the battle of Xianyang City in the future, that is a matter of the future, as long as Meiyang City falls, it is not too difficult to gather the strength of several armies to take down a mere Xianyang City.
In the end, Huangfu Song withdrew and returned to Xianyang City with an army of more than 5 million. This battle can be said to make him feel aggrieved. Originally, he had the chance to win, and he ended up playing like this, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to change.
At this time, Huangfu Song began to envy Yang Tianlai. If there are fierce generals like Huang Zhong under his command, today's ending will probably be rewritten!
Huangfu Song didn't know that his defeat really affected the national fortunes of the entire Han Dynasty, although the Xianyang City he was stationed in now was not lost in his hands. But its own strength has been greatly reduced, especially the NPC army led by it, after experiencing this battle, it has lost about half. It can be said that it is a remnant of the army, and it wants to resurrect the soldiers who died in battle. It will take some time, and the most important thing is that Huangfu Song does not have enough points in his hands to support the resurrection of all the soldiers killed in battle.
……
Almost at the same time as the war broke out between Huangfu Song and Ma Chao, the army of court aliens who intercepted the kingdom had also arrived outside Meiyang City, but in the face of nearly 20 million Xiliang rebels, they also did not dare to act rashly. Especially after the war with the kingdom, their army numbered only more than five hundred thousand. With this strength, to fight the Xiliang rebels outside Meiyang City is tantamount to an egg hitting a stone.
After discussion, the leaders of these court factions decided to camp eighty kilometers north of Meiyang City. At the same time, scouts were dispatched to keep a close eye on the shape outside Meiyang City, and if there was any wind and grass, they would immediately deal with it. At the same time, they camped here to wait for other reinforcements to arrive, so as to pose a threat to the Xiliang rebels outside Meiyang City.
In fact, these player leaders now want to contact Yang Tian, in the eyes of many players, Yang Tian is an undefeated myth, and at the same time, if there is a powerful army under Yang Tian to invest in the battlefield of Meiyang City, it will definitely be excellent news for the imperial court camp.
However, they also knew that the army of Baiyun City was now all besieged in Qinchuan City, and it was unknown how many troops there were, but one thing was certain, that is, it was basically impossible to rely on the legions inside the city to break through the siege outside the city. The reason why they made such an inference was very simple, that is, if Yang Tian could break through the encirclement of these people, when he intercepted the kingdom before, Yang Tian would lead his army to break out of the encirclement, and then besiege the kingdom with troops to increase his combat achievements. Instead of rushing over with only a flying legion of about a thousand troops. In the end, the kingdom successfully escaped, joined up with Han Sui and others, and completely lost the opportunity to kill. In some ways, killing one rebel leader is more effective than killing hundreds of thousands of rebels. They couldn't think of any other reason than thinking that Yang Tian was powerless to break out of Qinchuan City.
And not long after they set up camp, someone came with the news that Yang Tian took Guo Jia and Huang Zhong to appear in Luoyang City.
Many people are not surprised by this news, after all, a system announcement was made yesterday to advance the course of history to February 189, and these player leaders naturally know what this means.
Perhaps there were still many Chinese who did not know the history of the Three Kingdoms before, but since the opening of "Tianxia", the Three Kingdoms have become the most familiar history to all people. They all clearly knew that Emperor Han Ling would die next month, the dispute between the Ten Standing Servants and He Jin was about to begin, and the rebellion of Dong Zhuo was about to begin. At this time, there is undoubtedly a greater opportunity in Luoyang City.
In this case, it was even less surprising that Yang Tian appeared in Luoyang City. At this moment, many of them also plan to put aside the war here and go to Luoyang City to explore first. Maybe if you're lucky, you'll be able to get a history talent or two, and even if you don't get anything, it's better than spending it here.
It's just that at this time, they still have the last glimmer of hope in their hearts, that is, they expect Huangfu Song to lead the army to break through Ma Chao's interception, and then support Meiyang City. In the case of the combined attack of the three-way army inside and outside, even if Han Sui and Ma Teng have the ability to reach the sky, they will not be able to escape the fate of defeat. And defeating Han Sui and Ma Teng is undoubtedly a great achievement.
However, on the night of the same day, almost all the leaders of the Imperial Court camp knew the news of Huangfu Song's withdrawal, which undoubtedly gave them a blow in the face. Without the support of Huangfu Song, the imperial court camp fell behind for a while. But after all, Zhang Wen is now defending the city, and if Han Sui and Ma Teng want to take Meiyang City, the price they pay is definitely heavy.
It is conceivable that the armies inside and outside Meiyang City will inevitably fall into a long stalemate, and it is unknown when this balance will be broken. (To be continued)
