The World of Yellow Sky

The sharp whistles of the Yellow Turban Army outside Changyuan Duwai were like a signal for death, and the khaki-colored flags were like spiritual flags calling for souls in Jiuyou Hell.

Xu Ankua rode a bay red horse and stopped on the high platform built by the Han army at Changyuan Ferry, watching coldly the collapse of the Han army rushing to cross the river.

Numerous yellow flags galloped past, and the Yellow Turban infantry of the brigade charged forward from under the high platform where Xu An was.

The blood almost penetrated Xu An's robe, and the deafening shouts of fighting when he charged into the battle had not yet dissipated in Xu An's ears.

Turning the clouds to see the sun, the golden sun shone on the plain, Xu An looked up at the sky, clenched the ring head knife in his hand, and also grasped the victory of the battle of Fenshui.

……

On the south bank, Yuan Pang's face was gloomy and terrifying.

At least 3000 Han soldiers stayed forever at Changyuandu on the north bank, and the unnamed river beach also had more than 2000 Han casualties.

After the First World War, nearly 6000 soldiers were lost, which was one-sixth of his soldiers.

A piece of military information was sent to Yuan Pang, and Yuan Pang gradually understood the whole story and the reason for the failure.

First, the Yellow Turban Army attacked like a storm, at no hesitation in terms of strength and casualties, one after another, one after another, attacking the vanguard of the Han army in turn.

But that's all, the vanguard of the Han army can still resist, but in the end it was the sudden cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army and two strange soldiers that crushed the Han army.

According to reports from soldiers of the Han army who fled back from Wuminghetan, there were several brave generals in the Yellow Turban Army, and they respectively led a brigade of Yellow Turban cavalry to cut into the army formation from the flanks.

These brave generals are all extraordinary in martial arts. They led the brave Yellow Turban cavalry to cut into the Han army's formation from the flank.

Then those yellow angels equipped with heavy armor and holding halberds supported the cavalry and rushed out from the rear of the Yellow Turban Army's formation, catching the Han army in front by surprise.

Although the Han army has sharp fighters, it is hard to beat four hands with two fists, and the Han army is still retreating steadily.

Army Sima Zhang Xu was even chopped off by Xu Huang, the chief general of the Yellow Turban cavalry. The chain reaction caused by Zhang Xun's death completely caused the Han army to collapse.

The news from Changyuandu made Yuan Pang's face even more gloomy. The soldiers who had returned from the escape said that there was a Yellow Turban Army general who was holding a long halberd and wearing iron armor with a basin collar, leading the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army. Easily broke the right formation of the Han army.

In the end, what led to the complete defeat of the Han army was because Xu An, a great and virtuous teacher of the Yellow Turban Army, personally led the armored and heavy cavalry to charge into the battle.

More than 6000 soldiers were killed and wounded, including Sima Weiping and Zhang Xu who died in battle, and the casualties among the generals and schools of the Han army at all levels were also quite heavy. All of this was like a mountain on Yuan Pang's shoulders.

Yuan Pang knew about the heavy cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army before launching the offensive. After the Battle of Sunflower City, Zhang Wen had a detailed understanding of the Battle of Sunflower City.

Sun Jian and others also listed the reasons for the defeat in the Battle of Kuicheng, and the generals of the Han army also circulated them. One of them was to describe in detail the armored heavy cavalry compiled and trained by Xu An.

The Sanhe knights brought by Yuan Pang this time included more than [-] knights, who were also heavy cavalry equipped with armored riding gear.

It's just that the Sanhe cavalry is precious, and Yuan Pang didn't put it into the first attack sequence, but sent light cavalry to guard the two wings of the ferry.

But those light cavalry did not play the role of guards. On the contrary, they were easily expelled by the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

Those cavalrymen all said that the generals of the Yellow Turban Army were extremely brave and unmatched.

Yuan Pang frowned slightly. The combat power of the Yellow Turban Army was significantly stronger than that of Kuicheng. It turned out that the shortcomings of the cavalry seemed to have been greatly strengthened.

Those cavalry generals of the Yellow Turban Army who seemed to appear out of nowhere gave Yuan Pang some bad premonitions.

Chapter 212

The Han army retreated at Mingjin, and reorganized the defeated soldiers.

The Battle of Fenshui ended with the defeat of the Han army. The camp of the Han army was filled with suffocating dullness.

In the camp of the Han army on the south bank of Fenshui, in the tent of the Chinese army where Yuan Pang was located, there were no noisy human voices, only the crackling sound of burning charcoal in the charcoal brazier.

Yuan Pang sat at the desk without saying a word, staring blankly at the burning charcoal in the charcoal brazier.

The defeat in the first battle of crossing the river made Yuan Pang feel uneasy. Although there are many places where the river can be crossed on the Fenshui line, and the Yellow Turban army has few soldiers, it is also feasible to divide the troops to cross the river from other places.

But the new victory of the Yellow Turban Army is just like a rainbow at this time, and the strength displayed by the Yellow Turban Army now is far stronger than what Yuan Pang knew before.

It seems to be far more difficult than Yuan Pang imagined to defeat the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An.

Yuan Pang's follow-up actions were indeed calculated by Yan Zhong.

The Han army, which had been hit by the thunder, stopped advancing. Yuan Pang's prestige in the army was also affected because of the loss of troops in the Battle of Fenshui.

The Battle of Fenshui also affected the Hedong Wei family, the army Sima Weiping, and many of the Wei family's children died in Changyuandu.

The Battle of Changyuandu was mostly a trilogy composed of powerful private soldiers from Hedong County, and most of the losses were lost, which naturally made these powerful families in Hedong County feel pained.

Yuan Pang also knew that it would be difficult to command these powerful families any more.

The combat power under his command was first lost by six thousand in the Battle of Fen Shui, but now these powerful families have lost more than three or four thousand.

I am afraid that the county soldiers in Hedong County will be difficult to command.

……

Zhongping four years, March [-]th.

The Han army, which had been silent for a long time, finally took action.

Wang Yi led [-] troops to guard the south bank of the Fenshui River, and Yuan Pang led [-] troops to march northward to Jiangyi City.

Jiangyi City is located to the east of the mainstream of Fenshui River and north of the Huihe River.

The Huihe River is a tributary of the Fenshui River, and its water volume is much smaller than that of the Fenshui River, so there are more places for transition.

Ti Qi of the Eagle Wolf Guard quickly reported the actions of the Han army to Xu An. When Xu An saw the terrain around Changyuandu, he had the idea of ​​building a fortress.

So as early as February this year, he quickly sent a letter to He Man, asking He Man to build a camp.

It has been more than ten days now, and the camp has begun to take shape. After finding out the general size of the Han army on the south bank, Xu An left more than [-] soldiers and handed them over to He Man.

He took the remaining [-] people to the east to intercept the main force of the Han army led by Yuan Pang.

March eighteenth.

Yuan Pang led the Han army to cross the Wei River, and Xu An intercepted the main force of the Han army led by Yuan Pang with Lu Bu and Xu Huang as the vanguard.

But this time the Yellow Turban Army did not win again.

The brave Sanhe knights on the plain and the long water cavalry who were good at shooting firmly protected the two wings of the Han army.

Yuan Pang was already prepared at this time, and the same strategies and plans had no effect on him.

The main force of the Han army was the imperial infantry, and the cavalry of Sanhe and Changshui were the wings, and they won successive battles.

After three days of fierce fighting, although Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Song Xian, Wei Xu and other generals were all brave generals, they were still no match for the hordes of well-trained Sanhe knights and Changshui Huqi who were good at shooting.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army suffered nearly [-] casualties in just three days.

This was just a wandering fight, and no large-scale cavalry confrontation broke out.

Even with Lu Bu and a group of brave cavalry, the Yellow Turban Army still suffered heavy casualties.

The main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An was gradually compressed by the cavalry of the Han Army around Jiangyi City, unable to move.

As time passed slowly, the pressure in Xu An's heart didn't disappear, but instead increased.

On March 25, another encounter broke out outside Jiangyi City.

Lu Bu led the remaining [-] armed heavy cavalry, and under Xu An's order, they went out of the city to attack the forward of the Sanhe cavalry.

When Lu Bu had just achieved some results, Hu Qi from Changshui joined the battlefield. If it weren't for the amazing protection of the iron armor with the basin collar, Lu Bu might have been shot dead by Hu Qi on the spot.

Xu Huang and other generals also brought their cavalry into the battlefield, and the battle intensified.

The forward troops of the Han army and the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army got entangled and fell into a fierce battle.

Until later, the Imperial Army of the Infantry Battalion also joined the battle. Xu An sent the Yellow Angels to charge the formation, but they failed to break through the formation of the Imperial Army of the Infantry Battalion. soldier.

In this battle, An may have clearly realized that although his current power looks strong, it is still far from the powerful Han Empire.

The cavalry of Sanhe, the Hu cavalry of Changshui, and the imperial infantry, the elite combat effectiveness of these Han troops is simply terrifying.

At this time, the Han Empire was caught in the predicament of fighting on multiple fronts. There were still ten servants in the imperial court who were greedy for extravagance and money, and their troops were stretched.

During the time of Guangzong and Xia Quyang, although Xu An also encountered these imperial guards in the center of the Han Empire, he had never really fought at all, regardless of being a member of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield.

Now in Jiangyi City, he fought against the forbidden army of the two schools and the brave Sanhe knight again, but he fell into a disadvantage in an instant.

……

On the city wall of Jiangyi City, countless yellow flags fluttered and fluttered under the blowing of the cold wind.

Xu An stood on the battlements of the city wall, looking at the Han army camp in the distance like a fiery red maple forest.

It was already April [-]rd, and Yingwei's Tiqi also brought some news from Liangzhou that Geng Zhi, the governor of Liangzhou, seemed to be mobilizing an army to attack Han Sui.

Now the entire area of ​​Liangzhou that is still controlled by the Han Empire is in full swing and gathering towards the place where Geng Zhi is located.

Yicheng in the east of Jiangyi City was captured by the Han army led by Yuan Pang as early as seven days ago.

The Han army on the south bank of Fenshui also landed from Jiting and other places under the mobilization of Wang Yi, and then joined forces to surround He Man who was stationed on the north bank of Fenshui.

The balance of Hedong County seems to be tilting towards the Han army.

But at this moment, a travel-worn messenger galloped into Jiangyi City, bringing news from the north.

"Report to the great virtuous teacher."

The messenger's face was full of excitement, and he spoke impassionedly.

"Pingyang City has fallen, and General Zhang Yan is leading troops south!"

Xu An was taken aback for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Pingyang City, which had been stalemate for more than a month, finally fell, and the Yellow Turban Army's troops in the North were completely liberated.

It seems that the Han army is destined to lose troops this time, but it will not gain anything.

Everything north of Fenshui is in its nest!

Xu An turned his head to look to the west, the wheel of history was turning slowly, and the biggest turmoil in Liangzhou was about to happen.

The Han Empire will completely lose control of Liangzhou in this short period of one month.

Chapter 213 Fu Xie

In the fourth year of Zhongping, in early April.

The war in Hedong County has fallen into a stalemate, and the rebellion of the Xiliang Army by Han Sui and others in Liangzhou has not yet subsided.

Another rebellion broke out in Di County in Liangzhou. The Kingdom of Hanyang claimed to be General Hezhong and attacked counties and counties with great momentum.

Afterwards, Han Sui and Wang Guo joined forces, and the rebel army became more powerful, planning to march eastward.

All this naturally reached the ears of Liangzhou Inspector Geng Bi.

Soon after Geng Bi, the governor of Liangzhou, took office, he began to recruit soldiers and horses from the remaining six counties in Liangzhou to prepare for the joint crusade against the rebels in Liangzhou.

Now in the eyes of Geng Bi, he has recruited these county soldiers for a long time, so facing the invasion of Han Sui and the kingdom's coalition forces, what Geng Bi thinks is to take the initiative to lead the army to meet the enemy and repel Han Sui's coalition forces. committed crimes and regained the lost territory of Liangzhou.

The messenger came to Geng Bi's mansion with the news of Liangzhou's rebel invasion, and stepped out of the mansion with the news that Geng Bi had summoned soldiers from the six counties of Liangzhou. Ji County, where it is located, gathered.

The news that Geng Bi was going to send troops swept through the entire Ji County and even the entire Liangzhou like a hurricane.

Fu Xièxiè, the new prefect of Hanyang County, heard that Geng Bi was going to take the initiative to attack Han Sui and the Kingdom's coalition forces, so he left all other official duties and brought only a few personal followers, and anxiously went to meet Geng Bi.

Fu Xie once also led the army. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he was worshiped as the Sima of the Guard, and he went out with Zuo Zhonglang General Huang Fusong.

In the battle at Cangting, East County, Yanzhou, the Yellow Turban Army was defeated, and the Han Army beheaded more than [-] ranks.

Fu Xie's troops captured the Yellow Turban Army Qushuai Busi, Zhang Bo, and Liang Zhongning alive, ranking first.

The Liangzhou rebel forces grew stronger and stronger, and even Huang Fusong failed to defeat the rebels. Situ Cui Lie proposed to abandon Liangzhou at the court meeting, but Fu Xie stood up and said sharply: "Behead Situ, the world will be stable! "

Arguing vigorously above the court, he explained to Liu Hong the importance of Liangzhou as the center of the world and the importance of the national guard, which made Liu Hong finally decide not to give up Liangzhou.

But Fu Xie is upright and has a particularly staunch personality, and his relationship with Shi Changshi is very bad.

It is reasonable to say that Fu Xie's military exploits are enough to be named a marquis, but at that time Zhongchang Shi Zhao Zhong sent someone to show his favor, but he sternly refused.

"Whether you meet or not, you are destined; regardless of merit, it is time. Fu Xie is not seeking private rewards!"

Fu Xie's actions made Shi Changshi and others even more resentful towards him, and finally transferred Fu Xie out of Beijing and moved him to be the prefect of Hanyang County in Liangzhou.

After Fu Xie took office, he was an upright official, good at caring for the people, and his government affairs were clear.

Even many Qiang people who had originally rebelled were moved by him, and they came to Hanyang County to ask for surrender. Fu Xie opened up farmland outside the city and set up more than 40 camps.

Moreover, when Fu Xie took office as the prefect of Hanyang County, he also put part of his mind on the rebels in Liangzhou.

Geng Bi is self-willed, and Cheng Qiu is greedy and treacherous, which is not tolerated by Liangzhou scholars. However, Geng Bi trusts Cheng Qiu and appoints him to be the governor of Liangzhou.
