Chapter 166: The Princes' Coalition vs. the Yellow Turban Army (I)

After entertaining Zhu Biao and Hu Sanniang, Ye Tianlong quickly received a good news from Huang Zhong from the Three Kingdoms World, which made him feel very happy, after all, this is a good start, and then with the name of Liu Bei, a member of the Han family, he will not be unknown when he goes to the Three Kingdoms World to do things. You must know that compared with the Great Song Dynasty, although the Han Dynasty is also weakened now, its people's hearts have not been completely dispersed, so it is still necessary to wear a layer of Han clan skin.

And the Great Song Dynasty, originally because of the faint monarch Zhao Ji Daxing Huashigang and made people angry, and then when the Jin State invaded, he passed the throne to his son Zhao Huan without any responsibility, and finally made a big joke that the two emperors were captured by the Jin people, which was called the shame of Jingkang in history. The Southern Song Dynasty also perished as a result.

Ye Tianlong had already planned that when the Jin State invaded, and after Zhao Ji of Song Huizong lost the hearts of the people with his commotion, he could directly go over and replace the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't need to act in the name of Liu Bei, the Han clan, like the Three Kingdoms World.

In addition to Huang Zhong's good news, Ye Tianlong also learned that the Qinwang army sent by the princes of the Three Kingdoms and the world was about to arrive in Luoyang at this time, and was about to have a fierce battle with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army there.

This time, there are a total of eighteen princes' troops who responded to the imperial court and came to King Qin, which is the same as the number of princes' coalition when Dong Zhuo was defeated in the original plot, but the difference is that Dong Zhuo is actually among the princes' coalition army that responded to the imperial court this time, and also brought more than 50,000 troops, of which about 30,000 are cavalry.

The strength of the other princes is at least more than 10,000 horses, so this time the total strength of the princes' alliance finally reached more than 300,000, although it is still a little worse than the main force of the Yellow Turban Army with more than 800,000 troops, but it is also a lot.

It is worth mentioning that the princes who had cavalry under their command like Dong Zhuo basically created new cavalry equipment such as stirrups, horseshoes and Takahashi saddles under the guidance of those reincarnators, making these cavalry become shock cavalry that can really charge forward many years in advance.

It is precisely because he has such a powerful cavalry force under his command that Dong Zhuo's ambition has swelled earlier than in history, this time he entered King Jingqin, and under the flickering of those self-proclaimed reincarnators, he was not only ready to defeat those Yellow Turban Army, but also wanted to replace the Han Dynasty and become the emperor himself.

As for the other princes, although they didn't have the courage of Dong Zhuo, seeing the crumbling appearance of the Han court in the Yellow Turban Rebellion, most of them also had some ambitions in their hearts, at least they wanted to be a soil emperor who could dominate one side in the future.

It was in this situation that the coalition of these princes gathered together near Luoyang City, after all, the Yellow Turban Army had a large number of troops, although these princes had ambitions, but at least their minds were still sober, knowing that it was difficult to defeat the Yellow Turban Army with the strength of only one of them, and they had to cooperate with other princes to have the possibility of defeating the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, in the first step, the princes quarreled over who should be the leader of the alliance, and they quarreled for three whole days.

In the end, it was because they got information that Luoyang City was almost unable to hold on, and even the outer city was once captured by the Yellow Turban Army.

In order to prevent Luoyang City from really falling into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army, these princes could only compromise in the end and elected Yuan Shao, who seemed to have the greatest strength and power on the surface, as the leader of the alliance.

After becoming the leader of the alliance, Yuan Shao also knew that he could not continue to delay at this time, so he immediately ordered the army to take the initiative to attack the Yellow Turban Army outside Luoyang City.

On the side of the Yellow Turban Army, after discovering the movement of this enemy army, they also immediately began to divide their troops, of which 200,000 troops were left behind to continue to besiege Luoyang City, and 600,000 troops were assembled to prepare to meet the alliance of princes.

Unlike the time in history when the princes of the Eighteenth Route asked for Dong, this time Yuan Shao sent troops, but he brought his two generals, Yan Liang and Wen Chou, with him.

In order to show the powerful force of his army to the other princes, Yuan Shao immediately handed over 20,000 cavalry to Yan Liang and Wen Chou after learning that the Yellow Turban Army was dividing its troops to kill them, and let these two people serve as the vanguard of the princes' alliance to frustrate the enemy's spirit.

Yan Liang and Wen Chou are also full of confidence in this task, mainly because they think that their own force value is strong enough, and they feel that there should be no masters of the same level as them in the rabble of the Yellow Turban Army.

As a result, not long after the two led the cavalry to set off, they met the Yellow Turban wrestler troops sent by Zhang Jiao, these Yellow Turban wrestlers are the real elite of the Yellow Turban Army, and they have been strengthened by Zhang Jiao using various secret techniques.

However, because these Yellow Turban wrestlers are very troublesome to manufacture, there are only about 5,000 in the Yellow Turban Army now.

Because Zhang Jiao knew that the strength of those princes' coalition was not weak, he directly sent three thousand Yellow Turban wrestlers this time.

Then these 3,000 Yellow Turban wrestlers happened to collide with the 20,000 cavalry led by Yan Liang and Wen Chou, and the two sides started a fierce battle without saying a word of nonsense.

After rushing to the front of the enemy army with the cavalry, Yan Liang and Wen Chou found that the Yellow Turban soldiers in front of them were all more than two meters tall, and they were wearing heavy armor, all of them were armed with heavy weapons such as axes and swords, and at first glance they were a heavy infantry unit with extremely strong combat effectiveness.

However, Yan Liang and Wen Chou were full of confidence in the elite cavalry unit under their command, so they took the lead and collided with the heavy infantry of the Yellow Turban Army.

As a result, what Yan Liang and Wen Chou didn't expect was that their cavalry only barely knocked down the soldiers in the first row of the opponent, and was completely blocked, and those enemy soldiers who were knocked down quickly slapped their butts and got up from the ground, and continued to fight like no one else.

"These enemies are weird!" Yan Liang muttered to himself softly, and the glaive knife in his hand slashed out, splitting the armor of an enemy soldier in front of him in half, but his glaive knife was stuck in the opponent's body, and the opponent's body seemed to be as hard as steel, so that a fierce general like him couldn't cut his body with a single sword.

And the Yellow Turban wrestler was cut by Yan Liang with a huge wound on his body, as if he didn't feel the slightest pain, and he still continued to wave the long-handled battle axe in his hand and slashed at Yan Liang.

Seeing this, Yan Liang hurriedly added another force, and finally pulled out his jammed glaive knife from the opponent's body, and then threw it out with a knife, knocking the opponent's tomahawk into the air, and then slashed out with a force, cutting off most of the opponent's neck.

Such a serious injury finally caused some sluggishness in the movements of this yellow turban wrestler, and he was quickly and completely killed by Yan Liang.

It's a pity that not all the soldiers of Yuan Shaojun have the same force value as Yan Liang and Wen Chou, in the face of the counterattack of those Yellow Turban wrestlers, although the cavalry of Yuan Shaojun had an advantage in numbers, but they were defeated and retreated by those Yellow Turban wrestlers and suffered heavy losses.

After Yan Liang and Wen Chou found out about this situation, they didn't dare to continue to entangle, and hurriedly ordered a retreat.

However, in this short contact battle, they lost more than 2,000 cavalry. This made the two fierce generals feel very humiliated.

And even more humiliating was Yuan Shao, who was the leader of the coalition army, who sent his most elite cavalry troops, originally to show the other princes the strong force value of the army under his command, but it turned out to be a big ugly, 20,000 cavalry fought 3,000 infantry, not only failed to win, but also lost more than 2,000 cavalry at once.

Dong Zhuo looked at Yuan Shao, who was so angry that his face was pale, but he felt that he was in a very good mood, you must know that among these princes, the soldiers and horses he brought were second only to Yuan Shao, and as a result, because of the family background of the other party's fourth and third dukes, the position of the alliance leader finally fell into the hands of the other party, and he didn't even get the position of a deputy alliance leader.

Now seeing that the other party is deflated, Dong Zhuo is naturally very happy, after all, this is undoubtedly telling everyone that a good family background does not necessarily have high ability! If you choose the leader of the alliance in the future, you can't just look at your family background.

Because of the setback in the first battle, the morale of the princes' coalition army was somewhat low, and Yuan Shao had no choice but to set up camp first and take a defensive position.

The Yellow Turban Army, on the other hand, took advantage of that great victory to directly press the army in front of the coalition army, and almost every day they would send small forces to provoke the coalition army, wanting to get the coalition army to come out to fight.

Being blocked in the camp by the enemy for a long time naturally hurts the morale of the army, so Yuan Shao naturally wants to change this situation, so he offered a heavy reward, wanting to let the warriors in the army go out to defeat those Yellow Turban wrestlers who show off their might.

And under this heavy reward, there must be brave men, and soon a general named Lu Bu led dozens of cavalry into battle, and then actually killed hundreds of Yellow Turban wrestlers in one go, and he did not lose a single person, and returned with a great victory.

"This is the real number one warrior in the world!" After Yuan Shao saw Lu Bu's extremely brave performance, he immediately fell in love with the other party, compared with the other party, his Yan Liang and Wen Chou have completely become second-rate generals!

In order to win over the other party, Yuan Shao immediately rewarded the other party with a large amount of gold, silver and jewelry after the other party returned to the camp victoriously, and also gave the other party several beauties and an extremely handsome horse.

And Yuan Shao's operation can be said to have hit Lu Fengxian's weakness, making him quickly deviate from his stingy father-in-law Ding Yuan, and get closer and closer to Yuan Shao.

Ding Yuan, the assassin of the state, was naturally very annoyed by Yuan Shao's almost blatant poaching behavior of the alliance leader, and even protested against it many times above the military council.

Ding Yuan's uninteresting behavior made Yuan Shao feel that the other party was provoking the majesty of his alliance leader, so on this day, he directly ordered Ding Yuan to lead 15,000 men and horses under his command to take the initiative to attack the Yellow Turban Army.

For this kind of order to send himself to death, Ding Yuan naturally ignored it completely, and directly began to make a fuss about leading troops back to the state.

Yuan Shao naturally obstructed this, and the battle between the two sides became more and more intense, so he almost tore his face and dried up.

Cao Cao, who was still a hot-blooded young man at this time, saw that his coalition army had not yet defeated the enemy, and he couldn't help but feel a little disheartened, thinking that if he wanted to defeat the Yellow Turban Army with such a group of pig teammates, he would have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!
