In the following days, the development of the war was indeed as calculated by the Huangfu Song Temple.

In order to take revenge, Bocai drew 20,000 troops from the other three major divisions, and borrowed 3,000 cavalry from Pengtuo's department on the left bank, and 2,000 cavalry from his own headquarters, a total of 5,000 cavalry.

Bocai obviously gave up the original strategy of holding on to the wall and supporting step by step, and wanted to fight a battle with the Han army. However, in the face of Bocai's several invitations to fight, the Han army chose to shrink into the camp and could not hold out.

The scorching sun of July scorched the earth, and Bocai's army was blinded by the sun, and Bocai realized that something was wrong and immediately ordered the whole army to retreat.

But Bo Cai didn't know that as soon as he retreated here, he let the Han army in the wall discover the fighter. So the former army commander Zhu Jun ordered Sima Sun Jian of the Left Army, Fu Xie, the captain of the Guard Army, Sima Zhang Chao of the other department, and the knights of the Three Rivers, a total of 10,000 people took advantage of the situation to pursue, and there were four camps in the southeast of Lianke, and they won the battle and cleared the offensive line of Yingyang City in the south.

The next day, July 10, Bocai, who was unwilling to lose the external defense line, came out of the middle wall and fought with Sun Jian. Fortunately, Fu Xie, the captain of the military academy, and Sima Zhang Chao of the other department led the army to gallop to rescue Sun Jianbu.

In this battle, Sun Jian had 1,000 Jianghuai disciples, 200 were killed in the battle, Sun Jian himself was injured in three places, and the Sun clan did not have four people in the battle, which was the largest loss for his department since the war.

But Sun Jian became more and more courageous, and on July 12, the right Zhonglang general Zhu Jun commanded six troops, a total of 20,000 soldiers, poured out the army, and rushed to attack Bocaibi.

Sun Jian led the northern warriors Han Dang and Cheng Pu to climb before and after, from Chen to Wei, breaking its two major bases, and its small bases fled without a fight. After the engraving, the Han Army's Sanhe Knights defeated the 5,000 cavalry organized by the Yellow Turban Army on the flank, and finally blocked the communication line of the Pengtuo Division on the left bank to support the right bank.

On July 13, after a fierce battle, the Han army could not break through the Chinese stronghold and quit the army. At three o'clock in the evening, the Bocai Department abandoned the Chinese military base and withdrew to Yingyang in three ways.

At this point, the four major forts in the northeast of Yingyang, the twenty-eight small forts were all broken, and the Han soldiers went straight to the north gate of Yingyang, stationed to dig trenches, and did a long-term siege.

On 14 July, Huang Fu Song, the general of Zuo Zhonglang, who was supervising the battle on the left bank to contain the main force of Pengtuo's army, learned of a great victory on the right bank, and hurriedly passed Zhu Jun, the general of the right middle lang, to warn him not to go deeper again, to break through Pengtuo's division on the left bank first, and then attack the city together. But it's a pity that Zhu Jun thought that Huang Fusong's move was just because he was worried that he would take the lead, so he ignored it.

But in fact, because Zhu Jun did not come to the front line, he did not know the situation on the front line.

From the start of the battle on 8 July to the exhaustion of the camp group in the northeast of the Yellow Turban Army on 14 July, the Right Han Army Headquarters had been fighting with high intensity for six consecutive days, and was in a state of exhaustion among the division's veterans. At the same time, because Zhu Jun couldn't help but privateize, every time the soldiers of each department were handed over, they were given their own, which was originally Zhu Jun's move to boost morale.

However, because the various ministries fought for the seizure, they tasted the outbreak of fighting. In particular, after the Bocai Department gave up the largest Chinese military base on 13 July, Sun Jian's troops and Fu Xie's troops, which had entered the wall one after another, broke out into a large-scale armed fight because of the struggle for the baggage left by the Bocai Division.

That's one thing. Zhu Jun had a total of six departments, all of which seized a large amount of baggage during the attack on the Bocai Department, and all of them had no desire to fight, and everyone was thinking about how to end the battle quickly and send their share of the capture home. These seizures were not only about money and food, but also about women.

In the past, because of the untimely retreat of the Bocai Department, some of the old battalion personnel were stranded in the Chinese military base, and most of these old battalion personnel were the families of the Yellow Turban Army, including the elderly, the weak, women and children.

When Sun Jianbu and Fu Xiebu rushed into the Chinese military base, they directly captured these thousands of women and children.

One of these women and children is named Huang, who is only 16 years old, and the two brothers in the family are both Taiping Taoists in Runan. In the previous war, both brothers died, leaving only him and his mother and brother. This time, the Bocai Department broke through, and her family was stranded in the camp. When Sun Jianbu rushed over, one of the old brothers Sun Jian, who was from Jianghuai, fell in love with the Huang family directly. Alone pulled the Huang family out of the captive, and wanted to take it back to Jianghuai's hometown to be a daughter-in-law.

At that time, Huang's younger brother and old mother knelt and begged them to let Huang go, but this evil young man from Jianghuai said fiercely:

"You thieves will be slain without mercy, and I will kill you all now, and there will be no more words. You still dare to cry and rap here. ”

But it's a pity that the Jianghuai dialect of the people is like a bird's language in the ears of the old mother and younger brother, and they can't understand it at all, so they are still begging and crying there. In the end, he annoyed this Jianghuai evil boy and killed them one by one. At this time, the eldest daughter-in-law of the old mother ran out of the crowd, and the corpse cried bitterly, and he also made up for it.

There are not a few people who are as hot as this Jianghuai evil boy. These people are already wandering and outlaws in their hometown, and when they arrive at this cruel battlefield, it stimulates their nerves even more. Humans and animals are just one thought. And these soldiers who were crumbled by the war obviously don't plan to be human anymore.

What morality is, it's a matter of a knife! Today I will kill you, and tomorrow he will kill me. Anyway, it won't be long in life, so naturally be happy!

Therefore, after this Jianghuai evil boy killed Huang's old mother, younger brother, and eldest sister-in-law, he was still shameless. Facing the Huang family, who asked for a quick death, he picked her up and laughed while insulting:

"You have to thank me, you can't live without me!"

In the end, Huang was tied up in a baggage cart, and along with dozens of young women who had suffered the same fate as her, he was sent to Sun Jian's camp of the left army, Sima, and they were all sent to Jianghuai to become the wives of the enemies who had killed their entire families.

In this way, the more the front was fought, the more baggage was captured in the rear battalion. These soldiers of the right Zhonglang general's department have made a fortune, and everyone is grateful to this good Zhonglang general who does not have a penny, this is a real soldier like a son. So for a while, the whole army's support for Zhu Jun reached a peak, but the price was the moth thieves of the Yellow Turban Army and the original Han Army's sworn heart to die in the first battle.

So when Zhu Junzhi was full of soldiers at the north gate of Yingyang, he didn't know that these soldiers under his command had no heart to fight.

Accidents always come at the most sudden and critical time.

In fact, at the beginning, Zhu Jun's staff Xin Ping also persuaded himself, the master:

"Lord, now our army is tired after a long battle, and the baggage is piled up in the mountains, and the soldiers have no heart to fight. And only our army attacked Yingyang City alone, the back road was empty, and the Yellow Turban Army on the left bank still held on to the wall of the river. Our army attacked several times, but could not overcome it. If our army is under the city of Yingyang, and the Runan Yellow Turban Army on the west bank goes east, our army will be in danger. It is better to temporarily retreat to the walls, recuperate, and then attack the Yellow Turban Army in Runan to the west, and together with General Zuo Zhonglang, first pull out the thieves outside the city, and have a better chance of winning. ”

Although Xin Jun is arrogant and looks down on a cold family like Sun Jian, theoretically his master Zhu Jun is also a cold man, but now Zhu Jun is already in a high position in the middle of the Han Dynasty, and he has the grace to carry himself, so he is very dedicated to Zhu Jun.

Xin Ping is not a clear stream who only sits on empty talk, but a leader who adheres to the practical spirit of Dr. Yingchuan, these days, he often walks in the battalions, and he knows exactly what the current atmosphere in the army is, so he persuaded Zhu Jun to retreat to the original Taiping Daozha barriers.

However, Zhu Jun was full of ambition at the moment, and he thought very highly of himself, feeling that he was deeply favored by the country and was about to advance bravely. Moreover, in the six-day battle, the thieves' barriers were scattered by the wind, and this series of victories doesn't it just show how weak the Yellow Turban thief is and how good his troops are?

And he has always had a thorn in his heart, that is, Zuo Zhonglang will Huangfu Song.

The country values Huangfu Song, and before going on the expedition, he listened to his military strategy, but what about him Zhu Jun? is dispensable, and he can only be appointed by the ministers of the court.

He also knew that the reason why he could take office was because Huangfu Song was a Kansai person, and most of the elders in the court were Kwantung people, so they instinctively rejected the Kansai system to monopolize military power, so he was promoted.

But whether it is the state or those ministers, which one really values his Zhu Jun's ability? Yes, indeed, Emperor Fu Song is a family of generals, a natural general, and he is a poor family, and he started to fight the most unpopular Nanban, but he Zhu Jun is not convinced, and the prince will Xiangning have a kind of?

And along the way, the emperor Fu Song taught him several times, and almost regarded him as the last of the soldiers. Now it's okay, he finally fought for the upstream, when his side defeated the main force of Bocai on the east bank of Yingshui, on the west bank of that side, the Huangfu Song was still fighting with the Yellow Turban Army of Runan, who knew that the soldiers were not clear at a glance?

】

And now Huangfu Song came to point fingers at him again, saying that he should not go deep alone, and he should be tricked to go to the West Bank to help him break the Yellow Turban in Runan, if he really came out of Zhu Jun's bottom, he would be stupid?

Having said that, Zhu Jun has not fainted in the end, he knows that the worries of Huangfu Song and his staff Xin Ping are right, and he still has to keep soldiers on his back. Now under the city, both the troops and the military resources need to be moved forward, and only the troops stationed in the many barriers of the original Taiping Road can protect the supply line.

Zhu Jun is wise, otherwise he would not have come to this point. He has seen some things before, and some people will always tell you something right, but that doesn't stop them from profiting for themselves. Just like Huangfu Song, he reminded himself that he was right, but if he was really stupid enough to think that his analysis was right, and he listened to his advice to attack the West Bank, he would have fallen into the trap of others.

Now he Zhu Jun has to turn his back to each other, but also continue to attack Yingyang City in the south. Safety and military merits, he Zhu Jun wants.

But in this way, the forces that went south to attack the city were naturally thin. Originally, he had 20,000 soldiers, but in six days of fierce fighting, he lost 3,000. Now if he wants to divide his troops and stay in Tuntun, then he needs to stay another 7,000, and then he will go south with 10,000, which is really not enough.

So at the beginning, Zhu Jun left a letter to the rest of the counties in Yingchuan in the rear, and asked them to come and guard the county. But whether it is Changshe or Yang Zhai, on the one hand, they are complimented on the right Zhonglang generals who are indomitable and invincible, and they are not needed. On the other hand, they refused on the grounds that the county was ruined and in ruins, and that they could not spare extra manpower.

Zhu Jun naturally knew that when he raised military supplies before the time, some of his methods had eviled these powerful tyrants, and now he was in need, and he was busy refusing to see his jokes about Zhu Gongwei.

Okay, then he will use these 10,000 soldiers to destroy this Yingyang City and give the world a shock.

In the sixth year of Guanghe, on July 14, Zhu Jun led the main force of 10,000 Han soldiers, including 2,000 of Sima Sun Jian's division of the expanded left army, 3,000 of Sima Zhang Chao's division of the Chinese army, 3,000 of Sima Fu Xie's division of the right army, and 2,000 Sanhe knights under the command of Zhu Jun himself. Prepare to attack directly in the north of Yingyang City.

Outside the city of Yingyang, Ma Yuanyi, the god of the Taiping Dao, was not idle when the Han army attacked the Bocai Department, and also built a camp outside the city.

So, on the 14th of July, Zhu Junbu entered the north of Yingyang City, and saw a wooden wall that stretched for several miles, interspersed with more than a dozen camps, which were less than 100 steps away from the city wall, and the arrows on the city tower could be supported. The distance was two miles away, but all the barracks were made of these wooden walls to form corridors between them, so that the soldiers of the various camps could support each other.

Zhu Jun went out to watch the army, and when he saw this complex group of barriers outside the city, he couldn't help but gasp. Such civil fortifications were actually made by this group of moth thieves?

It is no wonder that Zhu Jun was surprised, it was not ordinary people who built such fortifications, but a battalion of civil engineers selected by Ma Yuanyi from the congregation, and the whole battalion had experience in participating in large-scale projects of the Han Dynasty, digging canals, building palaces and tombs. So don't say it's a stone road, as long as the stone is enough, it will be made for you.

Zhu Jun knew that this company was not easy to fight, and when he broke the wave and was in the four major villages, when he was twenty-eight small villages, he used cavalry to intersperse and cut reinforcements from other villages, so that he could break through each one. But now, these Yellow Turban troops have obviously learned the lesson of the previous time, and directly use Yongdao as a reinforcement line, so that the cavalry of the Han army can no longer cut them.

What a Yellow Turban Army, what a Yongdao!

But knowing what to do if he doesn't fight well, it has reached this point, and he Zhu Jun can only bite the bullet.

In the art of war, the siege must first break the fortress.

Since the situation is like this, Zhu Jun decisively ordered Sun Jian to attack the left, Fu Xie to attack the right, and Zhang Chao to attack the middle, and the three attacked at the same time, and Zhu Jun prepared the Sanhe Jingcai to respond at any time.

As soon as the three-way Han army attacked, drums sounded at the head of Yingyang City, and then the Yellow Turban Army in the camps under the city began to roll up the armor and began to support the attacked camps on the front line along the Muyong Road.

Therefore, Sun, Fu, and Zhang did not hesitate to die, and from morning to afternoon, they killed countless thieves, but they did not see fewer thieves. They were in the low place, and they didn't know that all morning, there were constantly Taoist envoys from Taiping Dao singing Huangtian hymns, encouraging waves of Yellow Turban Army to enter Yongdao.

Originally, Ma Yuanyi's subordinates were all elites, all of whom he developed in Jingyang, but after being sold by the traitor Tang Zhou in Kyoto, only he escaped with three or five backbones. Now the 20,000 Taiping Dao under his command are all newly assembled, and they generally have no combat experience.

But Ma Yuanyi has a power that other commanders do not have, that is, to help the beggars. After several large-scale supports, now these 20,000 Taiping Taoists are pious, and some of them are fanatical, and this part was selected by Ma Yuanyi as a Yellow Turban Force, supplemented by armor, and trained into an army according to the Han military law.

And now, these Yellow Turban wrestlers, inspired by the Taoist envoys in the sect, dedicated themselves to Huang Tian, and continued to fill the flesh and blood grinding plate in front of them with fearless courage.

The fierce battle lasted until Shenshi, and at this moment the Han army was hungry and thirsty, and the Yellow Turban Army was getting stronger and stronger because they had eaten in the back, and the balance of victory was already visibly tilted towards the Yellow Turban Army.

Sun Jian, who was fighting on the front line, keenly sensed that the situation had changed, fought hard for a while, and hurriedly climbed to the high wall, sending a flag to Cheng Pu outside the barrier, asking him to reinforce.

Cheng Pu had been cruising outside the camp with a hundred cavalry, and when he saw Sun Jian's banner, he knew that his army had reached the most dangerous time, so he did not hesitate to send a hundred cavalry to prepare to enter the camp for reinforcements.

But at this moment, a newly recruited military official, Lu Fan from Xiyang, Runan, persuaded Cheng Pu and said:

"General Qu, let's rush into the camp now, we won't be able to help, there is no shortage of our hundred people on Sima's side. I expect that Sima must want us to cut off the thief reinforcements. Now these reinforcements are constantly entering the front along these wooden wall roads, and if they don't break this road, I'm afraid this battle will be defeated! ”

Lu Fan is the future Sun Wu Da Sima, the old minister who served the two Sun Ce brothers. According to the original plane, after the chaos in Runan, he avoided the Shouchun of Jianghuai, and then formed a relationship with Sun Ce, the general under Yuan Shu's account, and opened the road of his grandson's Huchen.

However, due to the emergence of many factors in this world, history has undergone a great change. Originally, Lu Fan was the county official of Runan Xiyang, and the original Runan Yellow Turban beeped, and Xiyang was soon broken, so he retreated to Shangcai with the county officials, and joined Zhao Qian, the Taishou of Runan, with many soldiers. But who knows, in the battle of Zhaoling, Zhao Qian was defeated, and he Lu Fan was also captured by the Yellow Turban Army, if it wasn't for the cleverness to change into short clothes in advance, he was already beheaded by the Runan Yellow Turban.

Later, he followed the Runan Yellow Turban all the way north to this Yingyang, and before the previous battle, he followed the Runan Yellow Turban to support the Bocai Department on the east bank, and was then captured.

Originally, he had been tied to a tree stump, and he was beheaded as a prisoner of the Yellow Turban Army, and Sun Jian was the prison army. Well, it was the time when Sun Jian slaughtered the 8,000 prisoners.

In the end, Lu Fan had luck and courage, in the most terrifying slaughterhouse in the world, he suddenly struggled to stand up, and shouted to Sun Jian with a red curtain:

"How can a husband die like a pig and a dog, please live me, and I, Lu Fan, will be born and die for my husband."

Sun Jian was very surprised, you must know the scene at that time, not to mention Lu Fan, who was cut off with his neck stretched, even those executioners who cut off their heads have already been killed, and now there are still people who have the courage to stand up and say a lot of words.

Moreover, under the backdrop of a group of Taiping Dao thieves who were scared of feces and urine, this Lu Fan's courage became more and more prominent.

Then Sun Jian let him go, and asked him about his origin, knowing that he was originally a Han army official, and then he was captured, he didn't like it in his heart, and felt that this Lu Fan was a rat who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and the appreciation that was stirred up by Lu Fan's words also disappeared a little.

Lu Fan noticed it and said something again:

"General, I, Lu Fan, was poor when I was young, and I was often looked down upon by the villagers. Later, I admired Liu, the daughter of a wealthy family in the same township, so I came to ask for marriage. But my mother thought my family was poor and didn't allow it. I said at the time: 'I, Lu Fan, the husband of Aung Ang, have I been a subordinate for a long time?' I have high ambitions, so why don't I have some wealth. After that, I married Liu and became a county official. ”

As soon as Sun Jian heard this story, he felt familiar, isn't it similar to him back then, and he was also looked down upon by his wife's family, and he also said loudly, don't bully the young man to be poor, and finally have some progress. Sun Jian, who is kind-hearted, takes a closer look at Lu Fan now, even if his face is full of blood, his high-spirited spirit and beautiful appearance can still be seen, so he has the heart to let him go.

And at this time, I heard Lu Fan say:

"And now, too, General. I am now in this land of and urine, and I have nothing to say, but please believe me once, as long as you save me Lu Fan, I Lu Fan will repay the general's life-saving grace with this body and blood. ”

After speaking, Lu Fan knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily to Sun Jian.

Sun Jian twisted his short beard and groaned for a moment, not only releasing Lu Fan, but also adding him to the cavalry general Cheng Pu as a military official. Later, Lu Fan joined the army, rushed to the front several times, and finally won Cheng Pu's recognition, knowing that he was brave and wise, and was a talent.

And now that Lu Fan admonished again, Cheng Pu also attached importance to it, and directly asked what strategy there was to break this wooden wall.

Lu Fan spit out two words:

"Fire attack."

So, Cheng Pu filled the cart with fire oil and firewood, and together with Lu Fan, he personally rushed to the bottom of the road, set fire to it, and the flames protruded, killing the wooden road in a moment.

The Yellow Turban wrestlers who were supporting in the corridor also smelled the smell of fire oil, and they were still wondering, so the heat wave was scorching, and then suddenly the flames were three feet high, flooding this section of the corridor. And because the road is connected, the wind helps the fire, and the fire burns all the way along the road to the next section of the barrier. Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army at this barrier was wise and quickly demolished the Yongdao in the previous section before the fire stopped in this section.

But the reinforcements are gone, and Qianqi can only fight alone. As Cheng Pu broke the road, the Han soldiers on the middle and right sides also followed suit, and began to push the train to hit the road, and for a while, the fire was soaring and the heat wave was rolling.

It was also in this blaze that the three barriers attacked by the Han army were broken one by one. In this battle, no one in the Yellow Turban Army surrendered, and the battle lasted until the last moment. Naturally, the Han army did not leave any prisoners, and beheaded all the thieves who wore yellow scarves.

In this battle, Zhu Jun, the right middle lang, won a big victory again, but after the battle, he was counted, but he was in tears. In this battle, there were 8,000 Han soldiers who attacked on three routes, and the casualties in the first battle were as high as 2,000.

And this is only to clear the outermost barriers, there are still several weights behind, plus the Yellow Turban Army in the city, this battle seems to have been won, but it was actually lost.

Because if the Yellow Turban military wall is broken one by one according to such a break, Zhu Jun's soldiers will die, and he will not be able to touch the city.

Knowing that something was wrong, Zhu Jun was no longer self-conscious, and as soon as he set fire to the three fortresses he occupied, he led the army to withdraw to the original camp walls of Bocai, gathered the 7,000 soldiers here, repaired them in the barracks, and reorganized the whole army. In particular, those battalion leaders who have been broken up must be reorganized and reorganized at this time, and these battalion leaders will not be able to achieve combat effectiveness without a period of time.

Later, Zhu Jun wrote another letter, sending the first and last letters of the battle to Huangfu Song of the West Bank Army, and asked him if he needed it, and after he repaired, he could cross the river and attack the flank of the Yellow Turban Army in Runan in the west.

It's not for nothing that this Zhu Jun can get up from the end, and his soft figure is at least what Huangfu Song doesn't have, but this is definitely what an excellent commander should have.

But no matter how soft Zhu Jun is, in the big battles before and after, the loss of 5,000 elite troops is real, and his troops can only lick their wounds in the camp now, trying to recover their combat strength.

Just when Zhu Jun's troops were gloomy and miserable outside Yingyang City, there was also an encounter in Changshe, a hundred miles away.

This is a contest between Han Rider and Taishan Rider!
