From this day on, Guan Yu's army slowly advanced among the hills in this way, constantly conquering the garrisoned hills.

Even when they encountered some blocking hills and could not be sure whether there were Yellow Turban troops on the hills, they didn't care about anything else, and directly opened the way with oil cans.

The big fireball fell from the sky, burning the damn first, and after the fire burned, it was natural to be able to judge whether it was a safe hill or an unsafe hill, after all, the flames and screams would not deceive.

The army advanced slowly, and sometimes even had to do some work to control the fire, and even help to extinguish the fire, so there were some wounded.

But overall, the damage is minimal.

Compared with the Yellow Turban Army, the hills were conquered by the Han army one by one, and the living space was constantly compressed by the Han army, the losses paid by the Han army here were quite small, and because of the brilliance of the technical troops, the combat troops seemed to be somewhat useless, and Guan Yu still needed to spend some time to pacify the combat troops.

Don't worry about it, there will be room for you to play later.

Compared with Guan Yu's leisurely stroll, the Yellow Turban Shanyue Coalition Army was a little caught off guard and in a hurry.

From the first day of Guan Yu's offensive, they continued to receive bad news, the defense line around the main base was constantly broken through, and the important hill defense was constantly conquered by the Han army, which could hardly stop the Han army's advance step by step.

According to the front-line battle report, it was said that the Han army used demonic magic to summon a rain of fire, and the rain of fire fell from the sky, and the burning flames could not even be extinguished with water.

The Han army did not attack the hills, and the defensive facilities on the hills did not have a good effect, and the Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army would only engage the Han army when it broke through and engage in some hand-to-hand combat.

However, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is also quite strong, after the confrontation, the Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army will often be defeated, or even unable to break through, and the number of people who can break through alive by being completely annihilated is often less than one-fifth.

The Yellow Turban Shanyue Allied Army suffered huge losses in troops, and the obstacles to the Han army were minimal, and Guan Yu was about to approach the core area of the survival of the Yellow Turban Shanyue Allied Army.

There are not only combatants, but also a much larger number of non-combatants, who are their roots, the families of the soldiers, who follow them all the way here.

If the Han army breaks through here, the situation will be very dangerous.

Originally, the Yellow Turban Shanyue coalition army just didn't want to confront the Han army head-on, so they used layers of obstacles, hoping to drag down the Han army, make their logistics unsustainable, and end the war.

But now not only did it not drag down the Han army, but it also ended up in a situation of complete defeat.

How can this battle continue?

The tactics that were very effective against the ordinary Han army have now been declared bankrupt, and if the tactics are not changed, it is only a matter of time before the entire army is annihilated.

So in desperation, Sima Ju proposed a plan.

Take the initiative.

Continuing to hold on has proven to be a foolish choice, unless it rains heavily or snows heavily, but in the cold of winter, heavy rain is not to be counted on, and heavy snow does not know when it will come.

If you leave everything to God, it is easy to be pitted to death, so the remaining choice is to take the initiative to attack, attack the Han army in the mountains and wilderness, start hand-to-hand combat with the Han army, and try to avoid fighting against the Han army.

The fireball that day must not be some kind of witchcraft, but some kind of long-range attack method of the Han army, if you don't know the specific situation, if you want to avoid this kind of attack, taking the initiative and hand-to-hand combat is the best choice, there is no one.

For this choice, there are different opinions within the Yellow Turban Shanyue Coalition Army, Xu He agrees, but Fei Zhan is not very willing-

Seeing that the Yellow Turban Army was no longer working, Fei Zhan's originally very firm and unshakable will was shaken.

He began to wonder whether he should continue to stand on the united front with the Yellow Turbans.

If you continue to unite with the Yellow Turban Army, you will be beaten by the Han army and killed all together, and there will be nothing left.

If you don't unite with the Yellow Turban Army and leave this place, not to mention whether you will be held accountable by the Han army, at least it is safe for now, and if you flee to a more distant place, the Han army will definitely not be able to catch up.

Of course, there is another option.

Fei Zhan looked at Xu He, and then at Sima Ju.

Are these two heads worth anything?

If you can jump back in the line of fire, provide help to the Han army, turn around and attack the Yellow Turban Army, and exchange the lives of Xu He and Sima Ju for the forgiveness of the Han army, then not only can you continue to be powerful, but you can also get an official position.

As far as he knew, the Han court was relatively lenient to the rebels who surrendered voluntarily, and as long as they took the initiative to surrender, they could basically get a reward, and they could continue to live a good life.

Originally, he felt that it was profitable to help the Yellow Turban Army, because he felt that he could win a higher status and greater power, establish his own position in the Shanyue group, and even influence the Shanyue group in other regions.

Now that you have become the leader of a region, it is difficult not to continue to expand your power.

At least, he can also use the Yellow Turban Army to help him fight against the Yangzhou official army, so that his power can continue to develop and become stronger, but now that it looks like this is not only an opportunity to strengthen his power, but even a fuse for destruction.

He didn't want a fireball to fall from the sky and fall on his head, burning him into a black mass of carbon.

Take 10,000 steps back and say that he has no grudges with the Luoyang court, at most he has some grudges with the Yangzhou local government, the two sides are unhappy with each other, they don't deal with each other, they stumble each other, and there have been confrontations, but for a long time this has been the law of survival in Yangzhou.

The locals, whether they are local tyrants, scholars or the government, have acquiesced to this phenomenon and accepted the situation.

Therefore, Fei Zhan felt that even if he had cooperated with the Yellow Turban Army before, he could be exempted by relying on his local identity, and if he had some merits as an opportunity, even if it was the Luoyang Imperial Court, he would not embarrass himself.

Unless they want to go against the entire Shangoe group.

Therefore, if the official army is really strong and really capable of fighting, then he must think about his own back road, and it is not an impossible choice to jump back in the line of fire and abandon the Yellow Turban Army.

The routine is played deeply, who takes who seriously, this world is like this.

Xu He, Sima Ju, when that time comes, don't blame me.

When Xu He and Sima were worried, Fei Zhan had quietly completed his logical closed loop and decided to adopt a new set of plans to change his dangerous situation.

If everything is really irretrievable, then at least life and future can be saved.

It has to be said that Xu He and Sima Ju still lack experience in struggle, do not fully understand the excellent struggle matching mechanism in Yangzhou Region, and do not feel the sharp and contradictory atmosphere of struggle in Yangzhou Region and the xenophobic mood in Yangzhou as a whole.

In the end, they are outsiders from Xuzhou, some are from Qingzhou, belong to the northerners, in the eyes of Jiangnan, they are not their own people, and if they are abandoned, they will be abandoned, and there is nothing to do.

Anyway, the northerners have never looked down on them southerners, and Fei Zhan, who is dominated by this kind of consciousness, will not feel any guilt towards Xu He and Sima Ju.

He would only calculate how much he could sell them.

This mistake of thinking that they had blended into the local mood was the biggest strategic mistake made by Xu He, Sima Ju and others, and this strategic mistake made them trust the local Shanyue group led by Fei Zhan too much.

But they don't know it themselves.
