Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

On the third day, the Yellow Turbans did not come to attack the city.

Xu He ordered Le He to lead a partial division of 5,000 people to station in Linhe to prevent the Licheng army from going to fetch water.

Although the garrison on the hills can block the attack of tens of thousands of Yellow Turban thieves, it also has an inconvenience, that is, it is difficult to get water.

The elevation of the hills is higher than that of the plains. As long as you dig wells hard on the plains, groundwater will be dug out sooner or later, but it will be very difficult in the hills.

Liu Ye looked troubled, and heaved a long sigh.

Now that our army has repelled the Yellow Turban bandits twice, their reputation has been greatly shaken. The morale of the generals in Linzi City must have been boosted. Why don't our army retreat into Linzi City and join forces with Gong Shijun.

The speaker is Yu Jin, he is mature and prudent, it is inspiring to fight against the tens of thousands of Yellow Turbans with a mere 2,000 troops, but generals like him tend to seek stability and advocate stability while seeking victory.

Guan Hai shook his head: Brother, if you trust me, I would like to lead troops across the river to fetch water at night. We can still persist. If we enter the city, we will be alone. We will inevitably be besieged by Xu He. There may be a second Licheng army in Qingzhou to rescue us ?

Now that the water source is cut off, it is absolutely impossible for the Licheng Army to stay here forever, or else the soldiers would all be thirsty within two days, and would die of thirst before the Yellow Turban Bandits sent troops.

However, if you lead your troops to withdraw into Linzi City, you will indeed fall into a situation of isolation and helplessness, but in the end everyone decided to enter Linzi City first.

Come here, please Gong Shijun to send troops to meet us and welcome us into the city.

That night, several riders galloped out, galloped to the foot of Linzi city, and shot a letter at the top of the city. After seeing the letter, the soldiers patrolling the city at night hurriedly passed it on to Emissary Gong.

Liu Yuqing defeated the Yellow Turbans' offensive twice with a weak brigade and killed more than 5,000 people. It is already extremely difficult. We must respond. Faxiong, you lead 3,000 troops out of the city to respond, understand?

After Gong Jing read the letter, he gave instructions to Captain Han Zheng next to him.

Han Zheng said hastily clasped his fists together: The general will understand.

Gong Jing nodded in satisfaction. Although Liu Yuqing failed to kill the Yellow Turban Bandit, it was not easy for him to perform like this. Besides, he felt at ease with such a fierce general entering the city.

Early in the morning, this is the most sleepy time for most people.

There was no one in the army village long ago. After the battle, more than 1,800 soldiers from Licheng ran down the hill quietly and slowly with their horse titles.

All armies must not love to fight. When we arrive at the city of Linzi, someone will meet us. Do you understand?

Here!

Hearing the unanimous voice of all the troops, Liu Ye nodded in satisfaction, then lightly clamped the horse's belly with his legs, and galloped out immediately, followed by more than 1,800 Licheng troops, quickly heading towards Linzi City.

However, despite the precautions, the Yellow Turban Thieves specially set up a camp under the passage of the hills, so the noise made when passing the Yellow Turban Thieves' camp inevitably alarmed the Yellow Turban Thieves.

Soon groups of yellow scarf thieves were awakened. They thought that Liu Ye was coming to attack the camp again, so they immediately put on armor and rushed out in groups, charging towards Liu Ye and his troops.

Let's go quickly, someone will break the queen!

Liu Ye roared angrily, but Guan Hai rushed over when he heard the words, and yelled at Liu Ye: General, hurry up, I will fight to the death.

Liu Ye turned around and said to Jin: Wen Ze, you lead the army to retreat quickly, and you will arrive in a moment!

Yu Jin nodded silently. He is a qualified general, so he accepted Liu Ye's order, commanded the 1,500 Licheng Army infantry to fight and retreat in an orderly manner, and walked slowly towards Linzi City.

On the other hand, Liu Ye and Guan Hai led 300 cavalry like a sharp cone to rush left and right among the yellow turban thieves. Tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves had been frightened by Liu Ye for a long time. Like a double-headed iron spear, a black whirlwind blew up among the yellow turban thieves, and the people who passed by were turned on their backs, and no one could beat them.

Xu He also came to his senses at this time. Seeing more than a thousand people retreating into the city, he probably would not be able to catch them. He immediately ordered more than a dozen generals to lead their subordinates to encircle Liu Ye and Guan Hai with an iron wall. There is less and less room for the three hundred cavalry to move around.

Liu Ye knew in his heart that if he didn't go out, there would be no chance, so he signaled Guan Hai with his eyes, and then he rushed into the gap between the two Yellow Turbans, and the three hundred cavalry behind him roared like clouds, following behind. Behind Liu Ye, he urged the speed of the horse to the extreme, and killed him from the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army in one breath, and then galloped towards Linzi City like flying.

Xu He was furious: Follow them!

Xu He ordered that even if there were thousands of Yellow Turbans riding horses galloping out of the army formation, although these Yellow Turban cavalry could ride horses, they were not good at horse fighting, at best they could be regarded as infantry on horseback.

Although this group of people tried their best to chase after Liu Ye's 300 cavalry, the distance between the two armies was getting wider and wider. In a blink of an eye, Liu Ye had already led his army to the city gate.

Let's enter the city quickly, so-and-so will be the last one to go in.

Liu Ye was the first to reach the city of Linzi, but he stopped his horse and turned around to let the cavalry advance into the city. Seeing this scene, Guan Hai admired this scene, and at the same time stayed by Liu Ye's side, and waited until all the three hundred cavalry entered the city. The two of Liu Ye rode into the city together, and Han Zheng said that he was sweating profusely on the top of the city. When the two entered the city, he hurriedly ordered the defenders of Linzi City to lower and pull the thousand-jin gate, and the heavy city gate was slowly closed.

Seeing this, more than a thousand yellow turban bandit cavalry had no choice but to shake their heads and return in vain. Although Xu He was itching with hatred, since Liu Ye's troops had already entered the city, there was no other choice but to turn around and return to the camp.

And in Linzi City.

Many defenders of Linzi City looked at Liu Ye's back and talked a lot.

Is he Liu Yuqing?

That's right, Team Liu is leading a hero. He defeated the Yellow Turban Bandits of Jinan with two thousand troops, and defeated the Bandit Commander Xu He twice in a row.

Ah? This Captain Liu is just a team leader, but he really has nothing to say to the soldiers under his command. This is the first time I have seen someone who let the soldiers enter the city first, and he is the rear.

The defenders of Linzi City witnessed Liu Ye standing in front of the city of Linzi and killed the 300 cavalry, and there was a lot of discussion in their hearts.

At this time, Han Zheng said that he came up to meet him. After seeing Liu Ye, he smiled and said: Leader Liu, please come with me. Governor Gong praised you very much in his words. It's good to make a certain family envious. .”

Liu Ye cupped his hands and said, It's easy to say, I don't know what the general should be called?

Hearing Liu Ye call him a general, Han Zheng said that his face was slightly calm: A certain family is nothing more than a captain, how can it bear the title of general, a certain family's surname is Han.

Liu Ye didn't seem to hear it: General Han, please lead the way, and someone will follow.
