Chapter 34: Entering the City
Outside the city of Quyang, in the part below the city, the recruitment of soldiers and the majority of the people.
Dong Zhuo gave an order, and the battle situation can be imagined.
Faced with the repression for nearly a month. The Yellow Turban Army, this group of miscellaneous armies deduced what it means to be defeated.
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo had expected this, and he had rare patience, so that the big tent retreated with his troops, and he never let the real elite behind him fight. According to the scouts, the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang City did not come out of the nest, and the enemy who came to attack was only Zhang Bao's temptation.
What Dong Zhuo wanted was the heads of brothers such as Zhang Jiao, Zhang Bao, and Zhang Liang, as well as the two important towns of Quyang and Guangzong, not a short-term victory under the city.
Quyang City.
Zhang Bao looked at the banner of the Han army that fell to the ground in the distance, and his face was full of groans.
The Han army was so weak, could it be that it was due to the unfavorable siege of the city and the heavy casualties?
But we also have to guard against fraud!
"Pass the order, coordinate with each other, not too far away, and make the scouts scattered, focusing on the support of the Han army! Don't rush in! ”
Zhang Bao ordered and turned his head to look in the direction of Guangzong.
After the third brother Zhang Liang sent a message to him that day, the two coordinated with the generals, that is, they were discussing the matter of breaking the Han army.
After these few days of observation, he found that the Han army really showed signs of fatigue, and after the Han army's general was mediocre, he dared to agree with his third brother Zhang Liang to carry out today's tentative counterattack together.
If it is proved that the Han army has no ambush, the two of them should fight from the north and south, defeat the Han army with this opportunity, and strengthen the morale of the Yellow Turbans in Yanduo, breaking the sluggish state of the Yellow Turban Army under the leadership of the various commanders in recent months.
At the same time, Zhang Bao also needed to go out of the city and go to Guangzong to meet his brother Zhang Jiao.
Now it seems that the commander of the Han army is really a person who is not worthy of the name, the Han army is so defeated, and I don't know why the emperor of the Han Dynasty chose such a person to command the three armies?
Half an hour passed, and the scouts came with more confident news that most of the Han army retreated and headed south in the direction of Guangzong.
Zhang Liang of Guangzong also sent news that his troops were attacked from out of the city, and the Han army also lost its armor and retreated, and asked Zhang Bao to send most of his men and horses to break the Han army together with him according to the predetermined plan.
Although the war is favorable, but Zhang Bao's heart, for some reason shrouded in a layer of indescribable clouds, seeing the Yellow Turban soldiers, the momentum is high, and he dispelled his doubts, he stood at the head of the city, pulled out his long sword, looked at the generals who looked around and said: "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, the world is auspicious."
Boys!
Can you see what is in front of you?
If the Han army loses its dog, it is the will of heaven to help us wait for the Yellow Turban Army to succeed!
For the sake of peace and prosperity, I, Zhang Bao, in the name of General Digong, call on you to go out of the city to kill the enemy, kill the Han army, enter Luoyang, and kill the Han Emperor! ”
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
……
Inside and outside Quyang City, countless Yellow Turban Army, one after another, rushed out of the city, and the sound shook the heavens and the earth.
More than ten miles away, Dong Zhuo listened to the voice coming from several miles away, and said goodbye to the recruiters who fled not far away, his face was quite ugly.
He was not a fool, and what happened today has a great impact on him.
If it was according to the strategy discussed in the army before, instead of Liu Qi's plan to lure the enemy, when the Han army rushed back and forth, due to the siege of the city, when the Yellow Turban Army came out, it would be the same as today?
If he, Dong Zhuo, is defeated because of this, he is afraid that he will really be reprimanded by the Son of Heaven to return to Xiliang to raise horses.
Dong Zhuo couldn't help but remember the name Liu Qi again.
This son's senses give him something different from ordinary people, he was born poor, and he is both wise and brave, which makes him think of his young self.
It's just that if it weren't for today's battle, under Liu Qi's plan, he would have forgotten about it.
Just as Dong Zhuo was riding on a horse and looking at the rear a little distracted, a letter soldier came on horseback and reported loudly:
"Report! According to Guangzong, most of the Yellow Turban Army has gone out and has abandoned the eastern city and garrisoned the southern city to kill our department.
General Zuo asked, can the army go to war? ”
General Zuo is Dong Zhuo's son-in-law Niu Fu, for this son-in-law, Dong Zhuo attaches great importance to and loves it, otherwise he would not let Niu Fu and his beloved general Hu Zhen, and other brothers of the same clan waited for the fighter plane on the periphery of Guangzong, and chose the opportunity to defeat and behead Zhang Jiao.
Looking at the sky, the late autumn is crisp, and this is also the time to fight back.
"Pass my military order, order General Zuo, rebel general, General Dingnan......
Among them, there is no need to hide, from the northwest, southwest, and northeast, to fight back with all their might, and be sure to take the opportunity to take Guangzong today.
In addition, whoever leads the department and can take the lead in attacking the city, I, Dong Zhuo, will be the first to show merit.
Those who can decapitate the horns and get their heads will be rewarded with a thousand taels! ”
After arranging the battle of Guangzong with the order, Dong Zhuo summoned the ambush troops around Quyang and ordered him to launch a fierce attack on Quyang to get Zhang Bao's head!
The entire Jizhou battlefield, due to the two battles in Guangzong and Quyang, is being mobilized again.
As a large dust in the era, Liu Qi was in the Hu Zhen army, and after receiving the military order, he immediately followed the Hu Zhen army from Guangzong City, twenty-two miles southwest, fully armed, and marched to Guangzong.
Fleeing soldiers could be seen everywhere along the road.
Compared to the death siege of the city, there are no lives in ten deaths, and now there are nine deaths and one life, which is enough to make most people survive the chaos.
During this time, Liu Qi saw too many dead people, and he inevitably sighed again in his heart: Who let life be so worthless in troubled times.
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles.
It's not just a poem to be written down in a textbook, it's something that really happens right in front of you.
Hu Zhenbu is the farthest away from Guangzong City, so when Liu Qi and others returned to Guangzong City at night, three of the city gates on all sides have been taken by other people.
But outside the city, the shouts of killing never stopped.
The Yellow Turban Army was too chaotic, and when it encountered the regular army of the Han Dynasty, it collapsed at the first touch.
Especially in flat ground battles, how can the Yellow Turban Army, which is rare in wooden armor, be the opponent of the well-equipped Han Army?
Liu Qi took the Du Xiang townsmen, and the men and horses led by Wang Shang, who gathered together, followed closely behind Hu Zhen's army, and almost did not encounter casualties, they smoothly entered from Xicheng and broke into the city.
In Guangzong City, there was even more panic.
Everywhere there are resistance of the Yellow Turbans.
The Han army was in the plain outside the city, looking at it, but inside the city, only with flesh and blood, real swords and real spears.
And the general Hu Zhen, because of the slow action, the credit for seizing the city was robbed by other colleagues, and he was very dissatisfied.
After passing down the orders to open the various divisions, search for anti-thieves in the city, and kill them, he led a group of his own soldiers to the official residence in the center of the city.
The famous leader of the Yellow Turban Army, "General Tiangong" Zhang Jiao, is said to be blocked in the city because of the rapid attack of the Han army, and is leading more than 1,000 Yellow Turban soldiers to fight to the death with the help of houses around the official temple!
Watching Hu Zhen ride away, all the villagers gathered around Liu Qi and waited for the arrangement.
Huang San shook his head and sighed: "Pavilion Chief, I'm waiting for the department, I'm afraid there is no merit now!" ”
