Chapter 195: Battle with Wancheng (I)

The Nanyang Basin is located between the western foot of the Qinling Mountains, Funiu Mountain, Fangcheng Mountain, Tongbai Mountain, Dahong Mountain and the mountains in northwestern Hubei Province. It is formed by the alluvial flow of rivers such as Danjiang, Xichuan, Tanghe, and Baihe River in the Han River tributaries.

The Nanyang Basin is a revolving door between Guanzhong, Hanzhong, Central Plains and Hubei. It can be entered on all sides and attacked on all sides. With the hinterland of the basin as the center, it goes west along the main stream of the Han River to enter the Hanzhong area; entering Wuguan to the northwest can enter Guanzhong; going down from Xiangyang to the Han River to enter the two lake areas; going up from Xichuan River to enter the Yiluo River Valley; there are many mountainous areas on the east side, which can penetrate into the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Huangfu Jian is a soul traveler. He knows the direction of history and understands the general trend.

The Yellow Turban Army Rebellion is just a prelude to the troubled times, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is also destined to perish. The Yellow Turban Rebellion has created the mad growth of local forces, and the Dong Zhuo Rebellion has led to the separatist rule of heroes. They are all just the fuse that fuels the fire in the troubled times, and will eventually perish and are inevitable.

The so-called general trend is irreversible, and the competition for hegemony is the main theme of this troubled times and the highlight of the future!

Huangfu Jian stood at the height of history and saw it clearly and far away than anyone else. While the princes from all sides were still busy making achievements, he had already taken advantage of the Yellow Turban era to seize the lead and began to lay the foundation for the future heroes to compete for hegemony.

Nanyang, a strategic location, is particularly important for Zhenxi Army, which is a corner of Guanzhong. In Huangfu Jian's eyes, it is a piece of extremely delicious fat, which is his springboard for his future march into the Central Plains, and is more important than Luoyang, so he is determined to win Nanyang!

Huangfu Jian wanted to take Nanyang from the Yellow Turban Army with justifiable care when the governments in various places were too busy to take care of themselves, and to firmly control this strategic point and station the troops here.

The Zhenxi Army is changing, the Yellow Turban Army is changing, and history has deviated from the predetermined track!

The Zhenxi Army's lightning strike caught the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom off guard and fell into trouble, and the Zhenxi Army seized the opportunity.

Zhang Jiao, who was known as the Emperor of Heaven, was unwilling to be defeated. If he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to rely on the Yellow Turban Army around Luoyang. As long as Bo Cai, the Eastern Yellow Turban Army led by Peng Tuo, and the Southern Yellow Turban Army led by Zhang Mancheng, could defeat the Han army that confronted them, and then counterattack the Zhenxi Army from the east and south, and the Zhenxi Army would be attacked on three sides.

Zhang Jiao sent troops from Luoyang again, attacking inside and outside, and defeating or even destroying the entire Zhenxi Army is not difficult. In this way, the general trend of the world will stand on the side of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will unify the world with the momentum!

The wars on all sides were taking place around a center, and the Zhenxi Army and Zhang Jiao, the supreme leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom trapped in Luoyang City. For a time, Luoyang, the former eastern capital of the Han Dynasty, became the focus of the dispute between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Han Dynasty.

On June 19th, dozens of generals of the Yellow Turban Army, who were supposed to be trapped in Luoyang City, climbed mountains and waded in the waters. After several hardships, they finally came out of the secret road of Songshan.

In an inconspicuous small valley at the foot of Songshan Mountain, the formerly majestic senior Yellow Turban Army's top leaders were no longer as powerful as they gathered together in dust. After a little discussion, they began to act separately and go their separate ways.

The commander Zhang Mancheng was anxious to return to Wancheng, the base camp of the Yellow Turban Army in the south. Bocai returned to Yingchuan, and Peng Tuo returned to Runan. Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were even more anxious and rushed towards Guangzong and Guangping without stopping.

They rushed to all battlefields with all the expectations of Emperor Zhang Jiao and the dream of becoming the founding father of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Inspired by the great victory of the Minister of the Zhenxi Army, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun, the ministers of the Ministry of the She, were in full swing, and the Han army entered the counterattack stage.

On the same day, Huangfu Song and Zhu Jun led 30,000 troops to force Yingchuan. Cao Cao led four generals in the clan and led 15,000 rebels to the east county to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban Army of Buyi. Liu Bei and Guan Yu brothers also returned to Guangping with 1,500 soldiers.

On this day, the second army of Zhenxi Army, 50,000 people, took a large amount of baggage, walked through Lantian, entered Shangluo, left Wuguan, and arrived at Wancheng, Nanyang County, and stationed at the foot of the mountain ten miles west of Wancheng.

In the Central Plains, wars are everywhere! The Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army are each accumulating their own strength, and several battlefields are preparing for the decisive battle, all wanting to eat each other and achieve unification.

An unprecedented war is about to break out!

On the 20th, after handing over the battle in Luoyang to Jia Xu, Xun You, Xu Huang, Zhang Zu, Ma Teng, Yan Xing, Huang Zhong, Han Sui and others, he led the guard camp, Long, Tiger, and Leopard cavalry, and a total of 20,000 iron cavalry, secretly left Guangcheng Pass and entered the territory of Nanyang County.

Fifty miles north of Wancheng, Funiu Mountain, Fangcheng Mountain, and a large camp appeared in an unmanned valley between the two mountains.

Huangfu Jian's 20,000 iron cavalry were secretly stationed here. In addition to several high-level officials inside the Zhenxi Army, outsiders all thought that Huangfu Jian was in charge of Luoyang, and his blood-colored golden eagle battle flag was still floating above the Western Army camp of Luoyang Town!

On the 21st day, the sun was rising and the east wind was blowing. The beautiful mountains and rivers of Nanyang were immersed in silence, and only the birds in the forest were still chirping and chirping.

Everything is so natural and so beautiful!

Suddenly, the Zhenxi Army camp stationed ten miles west of Wancheng, with cannons running in the sky and fighting drums moving. After a day of rest, the second army of Zhenxi Army finally dispatched and the battle in Wancheng began.

"Boom..."

Amid the sound of cannons, Zhang Liao, the leader of the Canglang Camp, led 10,000 iron cavalry to rush out with a force of ten thousand pounds and rushed towards Wancheng ahead.

After the Iron Cavalry, General Ju Yi and Xu Rong, followed the army's military advisor Yan Zhong, led 20,000 infantrymen in the Tiger Roar Camp, and followed closely with neat steps. Gao Shun, deputy general of the Canglang Camp, led 20,000 infantrymen in the Canglang Camp to stay in the camp.

In the open area five miles from the west gate of Wancheng, 10,000 cavalry of the Zhenxi Army were arranged at both ends to protect the two wings of the army. 20,000 infantry were arranged into three infantry formations, waiting for the formation.

Under the Central Army's name, General Ju Yi was wearing an iron helmet and an armor, his blood-colored battle robe fluttered in the wind, holding an iron-ridge spear and stepping down a yellow horse, which was majestic and murderous.

"Beat the drum! Fight!" Ju Yi waved the spear in his hand and shouted loudly.

"Dongdongdongdongdong..." The war drums pounded, shaking the sky and the earth.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!..." Twenty thousand infantrymen attacked the ground with their weapons, shouting in unison, and the sound moved the sky.

It didn't take long, and it seemed that I didn't want the Zhenxi Army to show my power alone. There was also a loud noise of Liantian cannons in Wancheng, "Room...", which was as good as the sound of the war drums of the Zhenxi Army.

"Cry alas..." The city gate opened and the suspension bridge fell.

A group of people rushed out of the city, and the general led by the leader was eight feet tall, carrying a long sword in his hand, and stepped on a black horse, black helmet and black armor, and a yellow battle robe.

A yellow handsome flag flutters in the wind, and a big word "Zhang" is written on it!
