Chapter 68 Between victory and defeat New

Gaoyang County is a busy construction site during the day. Although construction cannot be started day and night due to the cold weather, it is now driven by money and changes every day.

On the official road outside the city, there were endless refugees from northbound, refugees from Qingzhou and Jizhou. The Yellow Turban exchanged weapons, food and horses for these refugees, so that they would not be defeated in the siege of the Han army.

For the Yellow Turbans, it is getting harder day by day. Huangfu Song is decisive in killing. Dong Zhuo from Hedong and Lu Zhi, commander of the Han army in the southern front, are not easy. If this continues, it is probably difficult for the Yellow Turbans to hold on for a few more months!

The gentry in Qingzhou and Jizhou were very harmful to the Yellow Turbans. It was okay for ordinary civilians, after all, nothing could be lost. Most of them even entrust them to be a hidden family under the gentry. Not to mention wealth, there was no land!

For civilians, being driven north may be a good thing. At least now, the two northern states, namely Youzhou and Liaozhou, are not only divided into land, but also used for farmland such as animals, horses, and cattle, and are exempted from levying for three years.

In addition, there are many places for employment in the north, opening official roads, building cities and forts. Although the money is not given much, it is already very good for the civilians. In this era, no money is paid to the government and the master's family, and they even have to bring their own dry food.

Therefore, civilians have difficulty in survival, because they want to make money and sell their strength, and there is no place to be available.

The Yellow Turbans drove away the people of the two states, which was a huge blow to the gentry in the two states. The civilians had no wealth, but the gentry had powerful people, even the poor families in the local area, which was also a family. At least there were fertile fields and a few good clothes in the family. The Yellow Turbans were the rebel army, but the rebel army in this era was the most basic skill to plunder the wealth.

Of course, the Yellow Turban will not kill you. After all, people are important props for trading with the eldest princess in the north. The eldest princess in the north doesn’t have money, and only people are there. As a result, in just a few months, millions of people from Qing and Jizhou went north to Youyan. They went directly to Liaozhou. If they were in good health, they were arranged in Youzhou. If they were in bad health, they were in northern Jizhou.

This is a huge migration. Fortunately, in this era, the basic qualities of civilians are very good. Even women have the strength to do so. Not to mention the slit tiger and leopard, but carrying dozens of kilograms and walking fifty miles is not a big problem.

There is no shortage of clothing and food along the way. It can be said that in three or five years, the northern border of the Han Dynasty will be stable. If this world is true, the grassland may no longer become a burden, because at least millions of Han people will live in Liaozhou!

Yang Yi predicted that at least three months of peace would be at least three months, and the Hu people in the northern region were no longer in trouble. The tribes of the Donghu were seriously damaged in the desert grasslands and the bleeding might be millions. This would be a must for ten years of cultivation.

The two pillars of the Donghu people, the Xianbei and the Wuhuan, became a feud, and they may continue to bleed. The war between them will not stop, but they will no longer have the courage to invade the Han territory.

The Han Dynasty, the Wuhuan and Xianbei tribes, were successively killed. The Xianbei Mountains had been built by the Han army and were the division line between Liaozhou and the grassland. Liaozhou now has more than one million people, and they are both strong. This is a huge force. In addition to the Hu tribes that they cling to, Liaozhou has even surpassed Liangzhou, Jiaozhou and other places.

Yang Yi predicted that the migration task would take about three months to complete, but it would be only initially completed. If it is to complete it completely, it would not work for three years. The most important tax on land reclamation, restoration of the people, and building official roads will be collected three years later, and it will not be seen before this copy is completed.

Of course, this is an experiment. All the problems exposed in this are useful and can help Yang Yi avoid mistakes. The pros and cons of the mobilization in the feudal era are not understood at all without doing it.

Now only the basic military force is left facing the south, that is, the Yellow Turbans. There are only more than 10,000 regular legion guarding against the Yellow Turbans, but this is enough. With Xu Rong, Gongsun Zan, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Chunyu Qiong, Zhang He, Gao Lan and other generals, how dare the Yellow Turban invade north, and the Yellow Turbans have no strength to go north!

Huangfu Song, Lu Zhi, and Dong Zhuo are not easy people. The Yellow Turbans are still difficult to defend now, so how dare they go north to invade the territory?

Of course, Yang Yi will not always be able to cultivate. It is estimated that in March, at least the army that is now maintaining order along the way can be drawn to the south. After half a year, the internal situation will be completely stable. An army of at least 50,000 can be sent south to make a strategy. By then, if the Yellow Turbans have not been destroyed, it will be a matter of a battle!

Although most of the forces have been transferred to transport the people from the south and the north, caravans from all over the country have been maintained. A simple sea boat was driven south from Liaodong County to Wuyue, and transporting Jianghuai rice and grain to the north. This is a grain road and a more convenient business road than land. It takes about a month to travel between them once.

The merchant fleet would also bring back the news from the southern border. Yang Yi also learned that a group of Yellow Turbans were entrenched in Jingzhou. The rebels were in the southern county of Jingzhou. He heard that they were powerful. He also heard about the news from the land business road. Xixiang Hou and Zhu Jun, the general of the thief, attacked several times, but they were unable to do anything. Instead, the rebels became more and more powerful.

At this time, Yang Yi didn't know that Zhu Jun would suffer a crushing defeat in the government and the country!

Jingzhou, Nanjun, and the bank of the Han River.

The cavalry on the other side could not be transferred at this time. Sun Zhi was very angry, but he was powerless. More than 10,000 cavalry were defeated by thousands of infantry and more than 100 cavalry. If the Han army had not retreated, then these ten thousand cavalry would have been defeated!

I don't know if it's a monster commander or someone else. Although Zhou Cang has some courage, he is also the first general under Sun Xin now, and Sun Xin cannot beat him, but he is still far behind the Han general who rides alone in the formation.

Among the thirty-six brothers of the Sun family and Sun Yong's martial arts lineage, they have been practicing martial arts for a short time. Although their qualifications are very good, they cannot become a powerful general without three to five years of experience.

Just like Sun Yong, he seems to be an unparalleled general, but now he can go through dozens of rounds in Zhou Cang's hands, which has been hard practice for several months. More things are not enough to be desired. Unlike scholars, military generals have achieved success after years of hard work.

Seeing that Zhou Cang could not intercept the Han army's central army, he might have to let the Han army's chief general Zhu Jun go. At this time, Sun Zhi didn't care about explaining to Pei Yuanshao, so he could only quickly bring his subordinates to intercept. In addition, he ordered the cavalry to go north as soon as possible and find an opportunity to cross the river to intercept.

This floating bridge was built by the Han army. At this time, the fire was surging, so it was naturally unusable. However, in the north, there were bridges in the narrow Han River, which could be passed through. The cavalry in Zhoucang detoured there and lurked beside the Han army.

Now, as long as the Han army is not responsible for losses and delaying its way northward, it may stop the Han army. Although the losses in this battle will exceed expectations, as long as the Han army is captured, everything will be worth it.

The archers kept firing arrows, and the infantry attacked the flanks of the Han army to the death. Seeing that this continued, the result was the same as Sun Zhi predicted, but his heart was still beating violently.

Because the Han general who was not expected had not taken action yet. Although the Han army advanced north very quickly and several Han generals were very arrogant, the general who did not show up would not be at ease.

At this time, Sun Zhi could only comfort himself. The Han general might have been injured or seriously injured? He couldn't step on the formation alone, but he was still unharmed, right? Zhou Cang was not that capable, and even if he was ten times stronger than Zhou Cang, it wouldn't work. Sun Zhi estimated that the Han general would not be ten times stronger than Zhou Cang!

At this time, the Han army suddenly parted. Just behind the separated Han army, a blue and white war horse appeared, and a general wearing a red war robe appeared on the horse's back.

The original color of the battle robe was no longer visible, and it was dyed red by blood. He was like a god with a sneer that looked down on everything, holding a strange-shaped spear in one hand. Sun Zhi still didn't recognize it as a spear. This new weapon was not popular with the Han generals, let alone the Yellow Turbans, which were from grassroots.

Huang Zhong controlled the horse under his seat and slowly moved forward. At this time, everything seemed to have disappeared on the entire battlefield. Sun Zhi only had his figure in his vision, a figure with a strong sense of oppression, as if it was about to suffocate.

"Prepare!"

He took a deep breath and said, the man had indeed appeared, but he was ready.

At this time, some shield chariots were introduced into the Yellow Turban Battle Formation. On the front, a famous crossbowman raised a strong crossbow behind the big shield, and the spearmen on both sides held the spears in their hands tightly. Although there was only one enemy in front of them, the pressure brought was greater than the hundreds of Han cavalry running. Although there were many brave people among the hundreds of Han cavalry, none of them put so much pressure on them.

However, the figure suddenly slowed down thirty feet away from them. The green horse dragged Huang Zhong slowly and continued to walk forward slowly, then jogging, and then turned into a wild running. The horse spear in his hand rubbed against the ground at this time, with a strange sound, and even sparks could be seen.

"shoot!"

Sun Zhi shouted without hesitation.

On the outer layer of the wall composed of shields, crossbow arrows suddenly fired out. The crossbow arrows instantly flew over a short distance, and hundreds of powerful crossbows shot. The horse spear in Huang Zhong's hand danced instantly, and the whole person turned into a ball of light and shadow. While the hunting of hundreds of powerful crossbows, he was still approaching quickly.

"Let it go again!"

Sun Zhi yelled immediately.

Hundreds of crossbow arrows emerged from the string in an instant, and flew quickly like shadows. If they were ordinary people, they would basically become hedgehogs in an instant, but at this time the light and shadow turned into Huang Zhong dissipated, but when they looked closely, they could see that there were still several arrows piercing his leg protected by mail.

But this was not a big deal. He was still running. Sun Zhi's cold sweat appeared at this time. This was not a human, this was simply a demon, a god, an immortal, absolutely not a human. It is impossible and should not ignore such harm.

At this moment, the figure suddenly opened his arm, and then Huang Zhong hooked the horse spear on the horse's back, and then the strong bow was picked up and several arrows were held in his hand.

"Quick, stop him."

Seeing this scene, Sun Zhi suddenly let out a heart-wrenching scream. He naturally knew that a person with such force was powerful. An ordinary person could not block this arrow even if his armor was pierced all over his body. However, Sun Zhi could not block this arrow even if he could not achieve martial arts. However, he could dodge.

He snatched a shield and hid behind his personal soldiers. However, with the gravity blow, even with the shield in his hand, he suddenly leaned back and fell off his horse. At the moment he fell, at least five people around him fell down together.

It doesn't matter that Sun Zhi fell down at this time, he was not dead yet, but it had a great impact on the morale of the army. In the cold weapon war, the main general was the root of the morale of the soldiers. Although Sun Zhi was not dead, the people who were close knew that the most close were more than ten people, and when they were far away, they paid attention to the main general's side, but there were thousands of people.

At this time, Huang Zhong shot another arrow, and the target pointed directly at the Yellow Turban banner. As the flag fell, Huang Zhong had abandoned his bow and took off his spear. He had arrived in front of the Yellow Turban formation. The shield chariot blocking the road was broken by him. The crossbowman then swept it casually, killing and injured everywhere.

The next moment, the Yellow Turban had collapsed.

The Yellow Turban soldiers who were in a bloody battle in other places had no idea what was going on there, but they only knew that there was a sudden fall of a group of people, as if they were all killed and injured. There was the place where the chief general was, the root of the morale of the entire army, and then the flag fell down.

Looking at the other Yellow Turbans, the powerful general who was like a demon on the battlefield had already broken into the formation at this time. The main general, the main general, may have been killed.

As the root of morale, if some lords die, the entire army will fight to avenge him to death, and if some lords die, the entire army will immediately collapse. Among the Yellow Turbans, those who can fight to the death of the entire army, Zhang Jiao can do it, Sun Xin can do it, but Sun Zhi can't do it.

Only those who have gained the trust of soldiers and generals and are the pillars in their hearts can do it, and Sun Zhi is naturally not.

So, after seeing him fall to the ground, the Yellow Turban Strike was hit, and the fear of powerful power instantly crushed their already fragile nerves, so collapse became inevitable.

In just an instant, I don’t know who started it. The Yellow Turban soldiers, both infantry and knights, turned around and ran wildly. Behind them, the Han army, with great morale, was naturally chasing and killing each other wildly, which aggravated the Yellow Turban panic, and the galloping began to develop towards the bombing camp.

As soon as he got up, he relied on the death warriors to stop Huang Zhong. Sun Zhi, who had originally wanted to gather the army, completely lost control of the situation under the impact of the chaos. He and his personal army had to be defeated. In fact, even if he gathered the army, there was no meaning to conquer at this time. Failure was already an inevitable end.

And their defeat also means the end of the war.

In this battle, overall, the Han army had a total of 50,000 against the Yellow Turbans, and in the end, the Han army had more than 5,000 infantry, more than 300 cavalry, and more than 8,000 cavalry and more than 10,000 infantry. Overall, the Yellow Turbans seemed to have achieved a real victory.

Or it can be said to be a great victory that has never been seen before.

The total number of casualties in the Han army exceeded 40,000 in this battle, but the number of enemies was wiped out was less than 30,000. In the past few months, the Yellow Turbans have fought countless battles between the two sides since the uprising at the beginning of the year. How could the Yellow Turbans have had such a brilliant victory?

However, for both sides, this was a failure. The Yellow Turbans could win one game and two games, annihilated 10,000 or 20,000 enemies. Even if it was 100,000, the Han soldiers were mobilized, which was more than one million??

In this battle, the Yellow Turban failed to achieve its strategic goal, capturing or killing the Han army's chief general, which was a failure. The Yellow Turban in Nanjun had only more than 100,000 people, but now with such a great injury, there are strong enemies around it. The road to Sichuan and Shu has not been opened yet. This is already a failure. A tactical victory cannot make up for the strategic failure.

If the Han army commander has not died and has not been wiped out, then the Han army will make a comeback, and it will soon!
