Because the Yellow Turbans held the city and fought to the death, Zhu Jun was unable to attack the enemy and was reprimanded by Liu Hong. Zhu Jun asked Sun Jian of Wu Commandery to serve as Sima of the Left Army to reinforce him. Liu Hong agreed and Sun Jian's name of Jiangdong Tiger first spread to the Central Plains.
At the end of June, Lu Zhi's troops in Jizhou besieged Zhangjiao in Guangzong. Because he had been preparing for the war for a long time and had not attacked the city for a long time, he was punished by Liu Hong. Lu Zhi was dismissed from his post of expedition. He Jin promoted Dong Zhuo, the governor of Bingzhou, as Zhonglang general to replace Lu Zhi Yuping. Jizhou Yellow Turban.
In early July, when the news of Lu Zhi's punishment came, Chen Bing's Huangfu Song tribe in the Yingchuan area finally stabilized the garrison strength of the counties near Xuchang in Yingchuan. With this as the center, troops sent out in four directions to launch an encirclement and suppression campaign against the Yellow Turbans in Yuzhou.
The military camp is wide open, soldiers and generals are out, the officers and soldiers are sweeping in many directions, the gates of the villages and forts in counties and counties in Yuzhou are wide open, the six million people in Yuzhou turning from defense to offense, Yuzhou Yellow Turban, chaos!
I don’t know if it was to highlight the so-called peasant uprising in later generations. Various descriptions mostly gave the Yellow Turban Uprising a turbulent and powerful impression.
However, many of the Yellow Turbans had families and dependents. Even if they took some villagers hostage, their small number of people, compared to the population of the Han region, would not be able to grow in force.
Seizing the opportunity, illegally armed, and the people everywhere were restrained by the government, this led to the Yellow Turbans' initial spread of more than a month.
Nowadays, many Han people have private property. They have been harassed by the Yellow Turbans for several months. Their fields are abandoned and their cattle and sheep are difficult to graze. They have long been angry and intolerable.
And when the people of Yuzhou lifted the ban, they faced several times or dozens of times the number of young and strong people. The officers and soldiers were well-equipped to suppress the rebellious serfs, but the Yellow Turbans lacked military literacy, and the Yellow Turbans were expensive and poor in supplies.
Sigh, four to five million versus a hundred thousand, is it necessary to say that much?
After the people were ordered to expel and kill the thieves around their homes, fleeing to dangerous areas in the mountains and defending the city became the few choices and outlets for the Yellow Turbans.
Who on earth stipulated that the people of the Han Dynasty must and must be the hard-pressed party?
Liu Cang, who even dared to challenge a hunter in the country, restrained himself from hunting. How could this be the kind of behavior a hard-working man could have?
Fifty miles east of Xuchang, in the land of Xutian, Liu Cang's generals followed him, and on the route of the cavalry, smoke appeared again.
On the fortress with a wall of more than five meters, on the protective wall, there are baffles, wooden placement, stabbing and grinding, and even the traces of gold juice under the city are clearly visible.
On the outskirts of the heavily fortified Wubao, less than a kilometer apart, three regiments holding corner flags with different surnames surrounded the Wubao.
Arrows fired from the Wubao were missed from time to time, and rockets were even ignited. The Han flag was in the middle, and the corner flags were beside it. Perhaps in order to avoid casualties among the soldiers, the three Han armies did not attack by force even though there were shield soldiers to test during the siege.
"Boom! Boom!" The horses galloped, and carts jolted behind them. The arrival of Liu Cang's cavalry attracted the attention of many on the battlefield.
Although he was the lieutenant general of Huangfu Song's army, Liu Cang could be regarded as being followed by all the generals. Dianwei on the left, Pan Feng on the right, and Bian led the four lucky girls to follow closely. After that, the cavalry each had their own team, and they pulled out a column and ran in order.
The power of the horse.
The military flag was Han Dynasty, and the corner flag depicted Liu. Liu Cang led his troops to find a flag depicting Huangfu's hundred-man military formation and rushed towards it.
The cavalry in front of the formation was divided into two parts, and the rear army pulled a large number of badger chariots and horses straight into the front of the formation.
"See you, general!" When a general in the army formation saw Liu Cang, he cupped his fists and saluted, and Liu Cang nodded in response.
"Fifty meters in front of the fort, a badger sticks out against the wall, protected by shield soldiers."
"Here!" the general received his order, and when he gave the order, nearly a hundred soldiers with standard swords and shields spread out.
Liu Cang whistled, and the flying bear among the badgers rushed in front of the horse. Liu Cang reached out and picked it up while it was running, and pointed at the dock opposite. The flying bear seemed to be familiar with such instructions, and screamed.
The badgers spread out from behind and ran towards Wubao.
The sword and shield soldiers were stunned at first, but they understood Liu Cang's intention in a flash, raised their shields and followed the badgers, shielding the badgers under their shields to prevent the arrows shot from the defensive dock from missing.
Such an offensive made the soldiers feel strange. They saw a dozen meters away from the Wubao. The flying bears roared again, and a group of badgers stirred up dust with their sharp claws. For a moment, the Wubao was about to splash gold juice. When the shield soldiers retreated, there was nothing but a pit on the ground.
There was no badger in the hole.
"Badger Liu! It's Badger Liu! He wants to demolish the wall!" Yellow Turban screamed from the Wubao Wall Guard Tower.
"Surrender! General Liu, we are bound by the Yellow Turban, and we are forced to surrender.
Poof!" A yellow scarf wearing an iron helmet and a armored stomach raised a flag and shouted loudly. Before he finished shouting, a thick iron arrow penetrated the area near his mouth and nose, but he was knocked to the ground on the spot.
Under the Wubao, four to five hundred steps away, Liu Cang was putting away an iron bow made of metal with a thick body.
The Iron Crest Bow can also be called the Iron Tibetan Bow. The powerful bows of the Han Dynasty were used in expeditions. There were very few throwable bows in the army. However, this Iron Tibetan Bow, which can shoot up to 600 meters away, is the standard in the army. It was obtained by Liu Cang from Huangfu Song.
Coming.
"The traitor is cunning! How dare he deceive this general! He doesn't know whether to live or die. When the city is broken, they will be slaughtered!" Liu Cang drew back his bow and shouted, turning his horse's head and returning.
Following Liu Cang's shouts, the cavalry under Liu Cang's command launched the attack. The sound spread, and the three battalions surrounding the city all shouted in unison.
"Destroy the city and slaughter them all!"
"Destroy the city and slaughter them all!"
"Destroy the city and slaughter them all!"
Thousands of shouts and shouts gathered into one voice, suppressing the screams and curses of the Yellow Turbans in the Wubao. When the sound came, the sound of crying could be heard in the Wubao.
"I'll take the credit for breaking the fort, and you can divide the rest." Liu Cang said softly as he rode back to the general.
"Here!" the soldier said in a low voice with joy on his lips.
The Yellow Turbans occupied Wubao and had so many bows and arrows to fight against the siege. Liu Cang didn't believe that they were threatening Liu Cang. Even if they were really being coerced, Liu Cang didn't have the time to investigate and identify them in detail.
The army is greedy for merit and has entered this way of killing. It is superfluous to talk about other things. The military order has been issued. Once you are in the Yellow Turban, whether you surrender or not, it will be military merit. All non-women and children will be killed.
The soldiers were on standby, waiting for the harmful beasts to destroy the walls. The weeping in the fort gradually subsided, and at first there were shouts and curses. After a while, the sad songs of nursery rhymes were heard.
The quiet grassland, the colorful Helans, the abundant cashmere of cattle and sheep, and the return of grandma.
The soldiers outside the fort were silent and waiting for orders. Some were restless in their hearts, some were waiting for the attack indifferently, some had crazy faces, and some were retreating quietly.
The officers and soldiers under Huangfu Song's command had cold faces and a fierce light in their eyes, as if they were calculating their military exploits.
The private soldiers of the other two families were often noisy and had noisy discussions, and often had to be scolded by the leader to silence them.
After waiting for a long time, a badger emerged from the hole in front of Wubao, and a large number of badgers rushed back to Liu Cang's army in panic.
When the badgers jumped and fled, Wubao shot down an arrow and pinned dozens of badgers to the ground, screaming in agony. The screams of those badgers also ignited the order in the army.
"Put up your shield and charge the city!"
Shield soldiers guarded, giant trees collided, the walls of the fort collapsed, and the cry of killing resounded throughout the world.
When the killing began, Liu Cang's cavalry ran far away again. This was the battlefield where the three battalions jointly attacked. Military reports had pointed out various locations where the Yellow Turbans gathered. Liu Cang should look for other places to attack.
Badger Liu, a nickname that was once full of dandy irony, is once again circulating in this land of Yuzhou.
Nowadays, this title is no longer a joke about demolishing people's mansions.
When harmful beasts come out, disaster will spread. If you encounter a badger among the Yellow Turbans, everyone will be afraid.
The officers and soldiers raided more intensively, and prepared many long ladders to accompany the army, but when they encountered Liu Cangduan, their first success was in vain.
His subordinates are brave and brave, and if he ascends the city, people will be afraid of his violence.
