Chapter 721 Yellow Turban Siege
Youzhou, Beiping City.
The city wall was crowded with people, and more than 3,000 new Beiping troops that had not been formed were all set up to defend the city. They were all troops recruited by the prefect of Peking Gongsun Zan when he decided to conquer Jizhou in the south. They had never been on the battlefield. The nervousness when he first came to the battle formation made many people's hearts beat faster and their foreheads were cold, and their voices changed their tone.
Tian Kai, the general responsible for the left-behind, looked solemn. The war against Yuan Shao had already made the elite of the Peking Army come out. The new recruits in the city are not worth relying on, but he has no choice now. They must stick to Beiping and wait for the prefect to rescue him. As for leaving the city to fight, the left-behind generals did not naively think that the three thousand new recruits in Peking could support the Yellow Turban Army ten times the point of being alone. The Yellow Turban Army outside the city was tightly dispatched and neatly looked, and they were obviously veterans on the battlefield who fought for a long time. For the Beiping Army, being able to defend the city firmly was a great victory!
The only benefit is that the Yellow Turban Army that besieged the city still did not have decent siege equipment. After the 30,000 troops set up camp outside the city, they sent a large number of soldiers to log and create simple ladders and rushers nearby, just as in the past when the Yellow Turban Army attacked counties.
After Feilong Baby led his troops to occupy Liaodong, he seemed to have been promoted from a wandering bandit to a dominant prince, but the system did not take off the label of "bandits" of the Yellow Turban Army. The essence of the peasant uprising army has not changed. The most direct manifestation is that the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army has never mastered the manufacturing technology of advanced siege equipment! During the Liangzhou War of Resistance, everyone saw the power of advanced siege equipment and could not master those technologies. The Yellow Turban Army suffered a great loss when the large corps siege were siege cities and land. Feilong Baby and Dragon God decided to "surrender" to the court through Yuan Shao's mouth, and to a certain extent, they also considered obtaining corresponding advanced technology.
Peiping has been surrounded by all sides, and it is unrealistic to want someone to break out of the encirclement and deliver letters. The Yellow Turban Army did not symbolically leave a way out for the Beiping army in the city, which completely eliminated the idea of leading the troops to "strategic transfer". He had no way of knowing why the Yellow Turban Army did this. Even if the troops were ten times that of the defenders, in order to reduce unnecessary casualties, they could "surround three and one" in order to reduce unnecessary casualties. It was clear that the defenders were forced to fight to the end. What was even more funny was that the Yellow Turban Army had to rush to make siege equipment after siege the city and could not siege the city.
Although there are not many soldiers in the city of Peking, there are definitely many equipment used to defend the city. The Yellow Turbans will only taste great when they prepare simple siege equipment to attack. In Tian Kai's opinion, it should not be difficult for the Three Thousand New Army to hold on to Peking for three or five days. In less than three days, the main force of the Southern Expedition will be able to strike the Yellow Turban Army, which is taking advantage of the situation. The Yellow Turban Army's current actions are simply ridiculous!
Gongsun Zan poured the troops from Peking to the south, and boldly entrusted the rear to Tian Kai's hands. It can be seen that he is quite confident in Tian Kai's ability and loyalty.\\\\\ The situation of the strong enemy and our weak can only worry him, but it cannot shake his will to stand waiting for help. Tian Kai sneered and said to himself: "When he detoured the Wuhuan Grassland suddenly appeared in the northern part of Youbeiping, he thought that the wise men of the Yellow Turban Army were dispatched in the middle. Now it seems... the peasant army is the peasant army!"
Yellow Turban Camp outside the city.
This time, he agreed to attack Gongsun Zan from the front and back. Feilong Baby did not dare to be careless at all, leaving the Dragon God to command Dahong, and the two generals of Huanglong were in charge of Liaodong, and the other elite soldiers and generals arrived in Youbeiping. Guan Hai, known as the "No. 1 strong general of the Yellow Turban", would naturally not be absent. Du Yuan, Tao Sheng, Zhang Baiqi, Guo Daxian and others all wore their hands in battle. In addition, the Yellow Turban came with the power of Da Zhuyu, and the army was very prosperous.
Feilong Baby and a group of Yellow Turban generals were discussing matters in the tent. All the generals were there, but Guan Hai and Zhang Baiqi were not seen. Feilong Baby sat casually in the middle. A group of historical figures stood under the tent in a regular manner, and no one raised any objections to this, which shows that Feilong Baby's position in the Yellow Turban Army is very stable.
The thin Tao Sheng narrowed his triangle eyes and said, "Chief, we have ordered the soldiers to cut down trees around Peking as required by you, pretending to be making final preparations for the siege. However, judging from the current situation, Tian Chou should not have the ability to go out of the city to seek battlefield. His subordinates thought that we could take the next step."
Feilong Baby nodded with satisfaction and said, "Very good. I just got the news. Gongsun Zan is now on the way back to Beiping. We no longer need to be so laborious. Before Gongsun Zan comes back, we will move as many villagers in Youbeiping as possible to Liaodong while besieging Beiping city. Tao Sheng led 5,000 soldiers to set off immediately and migrate the people!"
"I'm going to receive the order!"
Tao Sheng tried hard to stand up with his thin chest and responded loudly. Although the task of migrating the people was cumbersome, it was better than almost no life. It was definitely a bad thing for Tao Sheng, who had always been timid.
"Guo Daxian is responsible for the siege of the city. Although Tian Chou did not dare to go out of the city to fight, he had to beware of his secrets of seeing through our army's encirclement without attacking the ground. He then sent people out of the city to warn Gongsun Zan. He must not let a soldier leave alive!"
"I'm going to receive the order!"
"The 15,000 elite soldiers led by Guan Hai and Zhang Baiqi should have been almost ready. After dark, Du Yuan followed me and led the remaining 13,000 people to join them."
"Abide by the order!"
Zhang Bai's 15,000 elite soldiers were not troops to fight Fu Yu, but quietly sneaked onto the Beiping army's return road at night from Liaodong on a boat and sailed on the sea route. From the beginning, the Yellow Turban Army did not intend to attack Beiping, but instead targeted Gongsun Zan first. The encirclement of Beiping was just a bait to lure Gongsun Zan back. The gains and losses of one city and one place in Beiping cannot be eliminated once and for all. Only by defeating the more than 30,000 existing main forces under Gongsun Zan can we truly take the initiative and ultimately win the war.
The main force of the Yellow Turbans of 27,000 may not be enough to compete with more than 30,000 Peking Army head-on. There are still more than 30,000 Yellow Turban Army that Liaodong can call. It is not necessary to dispatch large troops from Liaodong to participate in the war, but this is not in line with the combat plan formulated by Dragon God. At this time, it is impossible to conceal the Beiping spies lurking in Liaodong. Before completing the ambush of Gongsun Zan's main force, the Yellow Turban Army must avoid excessive stimulation of Gongsun Zan as much as possible. Only by making Gongsun Zan believe that the Yellow Turban troops in attacking the Youbeiping land are energetic outside the city of Beiping, the Dragon God's plan is more likely to be successful!
The Beiping Army is a powerful soldier in the world. Although the Liaodong Yellow Turban is also an elite force in a hundred battles, the differences in the level of different troops in the game are difficult to overcome. The Yellow Turban Army was far behind the Beiping Army in its infancy. This is also an important factor for Feilong Baby to lead the Liaodong Yellow Turban to "surrender" to the court. To deal with such an enemy, forcibly blocking the Beiping Army's retreat and attacking the Jizhou Army from the front and back, even if it can defeat the Yellow Turban Army, it will inevitably be huge. Feilong Baby will not spend all his capital in order to understand Yuan Shao's danger, besieging the city to attack reinforcements, and half-way ambush is the combat strategy of the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army.
The generals were preparing for the tent, and only the fat dragon baby was sitting alone in the tent, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.
"I'm really nervous about facing Gongsun Zan's white horse Yicong.
North of Yizhou, the border bridge.
The general Yan Gang of Peking watched Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing lead their troops to march northward, feeling worried.
Since I learned that Peking was surrounded by an hour ago, my anxiety has been lingering in Yan Gang's mind. Peking is the foundation of Gongsun Zan. Most of the families of the soldiers under my command are in the city, and Yan Gang's family is no exception. Although Tian Chou, who stayed in Peiping, is also a general who stands alone, the 3,000 new recruits in the city are really useless. The 30,000 elite Yellow Turbans are besieged, and Peking is in danger!
Rescue is like putting out a fire. Gongsun Zan has personally led the White Horse Yicong to run to Peiping. Only this most elite light cavalry can rush back in the shortest time, and only Gongsun Zan can stimulate the White Horse Yicong to the greatest extent. Yan Gang believes that even if the three thousand White Horse Yicong cannot defeat the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army, it will definitely crush the Yellow Turban Army's attempt to siege the city. The question is whether they can arrive before the city is broken!
The troubles are not only the danger of Peking. Yuan Shao's nose is more flexible than a dog. The Beiping army has just begun to retreat. The Jizhou army is moving forward step by step like a ghost that refuses to dissipate. They have never been as brave as they are now. Yan Gang could see that the Yizhou army's advance is still relatively restrained. They are patiently testing the reaction of the Peking army to confirm whether the main force of Peking has really retreated. This state will not last long. After the test is over, Yuan Shao's troops will pounce on them and take advantage of the opportunity that the Beiping army is unwilling to fight and try every means to take advantage of the previous defeat.
Yuan Shao and Liaodong Feilong Baby may have reached some kind of agreement secretly. It seems incredible that the leader of Kanto and the Yellow Turban bandits joined forces, but it is difficult to explain that Feilong Baby would attack Peiping when the Beiping army occupied the Yizhou battlefield! And how could the Jizhou army, which was suppressed in the camp, dare not fight, be pushed out so quickly?
The city occupied by the Beiping army in northern Jizhou was recaptured by the Jizhou army. Since Yuan Shao and Feilong Baby are likely to have joined forces, the most worrying thing is that the Jizhou army is entangled with Gongsun Zan's main force and delayed the speed of the Beiping army's return to the army in order to cooperate with the Liaodong Yellow Turban Army's military operations in Youbeiping.
This situation is not impossible. The Beiping Army's southern expedition has taught Yuan Shao a good lesson. This iron-blooded army will be one of the most terrifying opponents of the Jizhou Army, and the powerful Beiping Army will be a lingering nightmare for the Jizhou Army. Yan Gang believes that if he has the opportunity to break the foundation of the Beiping Army, Yuan Shao will definitely be very happy to gather someone, even if he cannot get too many benefits from it.
Therefore, Gongsun Zan led the cavalry to set out first, and Gongsun Fan and Guan Jing led a large army to follow closely, only the general Yan Gang stayed at the Border Bridge with 5,000 elite soldiers to block the pursuers.
Personal soldiers came to report, "Yan Liang led 10,000 Jizhou troops to approach us quickly!"
"I understand, I will order the entire army to prepare for combat!"
