The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 1 The Battle of Jinyang ([-])

Jinyang City was originally built by Dong Anyu, and it took three years to complete in the 15th year of Duke Ding (497 BC).

The circumference of the city is 4 miles, the foundation is built with bluestone, and the wall is built with rammed earth. Di, Artemisia, and Chu (plants similar to reeds, weeds, and vitex) are added to the walls to make them strong.The base of the wall is more than Zhang thick and 4 Zhang high.

There is a gate on each side of the city, decorated with bronze dragons.Trenches were dug around the city, like a protective barrier.

But in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Jinyang City expanded several times, but the outer city wall is only three feet high now.

On Jinyang City, bed crossbows and catapults poured spears and boulders down the city non-stop, reaping the lives of the Yellow Turban mobs one after another.

More than 2000 soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city rushed to the front with hundreds of shield chariots and two ladder carts. The Sima of this Yellow Turban Army was Li Heng, the original head of the Li family in Lutai Mountain.

Sergeants from the other two divisions of the Yellow Turban Army followed Li Heng's division not far behind, pressing towards Jinyang's Dongmen Urn City.

There are more and more soldiers under Xu An's command, and the children of the three families who followed all the way from Lutai Mountain are also rising, especially those who are originally Taiping Taoists are in high positions.

Zhao Le, the patriarch of the Zhao family, is a little timid, but he can read and write, and he is quite proficient in arithmetic. Now he follows Xu An's army as a long history.

Wang Ren, the patriarch of the Wang family, is the same as Li Heng, and is directly under Xu An's command as the military commander.

It was the first song of Li Heng's troops who were in charge of the assault. Their morale was still high at this time. The spears on Jinyang City were not accurate enough. They only damaged five shield vehicles. Since they charged ahead, they did not suffer from stone throwing machine attack.

The city wall in front of him was getting closer and closer, and the military marquis of the first song of the Yellow Turban Army clenched his fists and blew the wooden whistle in his mouth.

"call out--"

The rapid and sharp wooden whistle sounded suddenly.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

In the first song, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army shouted in unison and strode forward. Almost at the same moment, countless arrows rained down on the city wall.

"Watch out for concealment!"

A leader of the team hid behind the shield car, holding the ring head knife tightly in his hand, shouting loudly, and the soldiers of the surrounding Yellow Turban Army also buried their bodies behind the shield car as much as possible.

The flying arrows on Jinyang City fell like locusts, with a screaming sound, and shot at the ladders and shield cars, making a "tuk tuk tuk" sound. Although there were ladders and shield cars as shelters, there were still many The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were shot and knocked to the ground.

"Stretch!" "Stretch!"

Two bed crossbows rang out. The penetration of the bed crossbows was terrifying at such a close distance. A yellow scarf army commander hiding behind the shield car and the two sergeants behind him were pierced into gourds.

"Boom!"

There was a muffled sound, and the ladder cart of the Yellow Turban Army was pulled by the wrestlers at the bottom, and the sharp hooks on the top of the ladder were firmly embedded in the edge of the city.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

A Yellow Turban army hiding behind the protective shield of the ladder rushed up the ladder first, and then more soldiers of the Yellow Turban army rushed straight towards the city wall of Jinyang City along the passage of the ladder.

The khaki team flag fluttered above the ladder, which also aroused the morale of the rest of the Yellow Turban Army.

The voice of Wan Sheng was heard one after another under the city, and then another ladder cart was set on the wall of Jinyang City, and the Yellow Turban Army under the city rushed up.

Holding their wooden shields, they rushed straight towards the city wall along the ladder. Naturally, the Han army crossbowmen on both sides would not let them rush directly to the city wall.

The feathered arrows of the Han army flew out from both sides, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army on the ladder immediately fell down, rolling down from the ladder like dumplings.

Although the arrows are dense, there are still soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army jumping down from the ladder, but most of them just hit the ground, and several sharp weapons come oncoming. The first few soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who jumped into the city all After being stabbed, he screamed and fell to the city.

At the same time, the second and third sergeants of Li Heng's troops had also rushed to the city wall, and one ladder car after another was put on the city wall, followed by countless simple long wooden ladders.

"fall!"

The hot golden juice and boiling water were poured down by the Han army guarding the city, and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who climbed the long ladder all fell down with howls and fell heavily to the ground.

A stench came out, and many soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army under the city were so smoked that they vomited.

More and more yellow-turban sergeants climbed up the ladder. They climbed up the city with all their strength, and marched forward with the yellow-turban sergeant carrying the flag on their backs.

"die!"

A leader of the Han army swung a knife and knocked down a Yellow Turban soldier who had just jumped onto the city wall. The Yellow Turban soldier was quite brave, and the two Han soldiers guarding the crenel fell on his knife. Down.

But in the end, he was still inferior in skills, and he fell under the knife led by the Han army.

Just after the team of the Han army killed the yellow turban soldier, a yellow turban sergeant in heavy armor on the ladder rolled over and rolled into the wall.

As soon as the knife flashed, a Han soldier who was near the ladder fell to the ground, with a painful wail in his throat.

His calf had been separated from his body, and blood gushed from his knee.

The team leader of the Han army stared at him, and strode forward with both hands tightly holding the ring sword. The man in front of him is extremely experienced in martial arts, and he must not be allowed to stand still.

Otherwise, the Yellow Turban Army could rely on the gaps opened by this person to climb up the city wall continuously, and the Han Army would have to pay more casualties if they wanted to drive them down again.

"die!"

The leader of the Han army shouted loudly, and slashed at the heavily armored yellow scarf army with their long knives.

There was a loud noise when the two knives collided, and sparks flew out from the knife edge.

At the same time, when the Han army led the battle with the heavily armored Yellow Turban army, two other soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army jumped out from both sides of the ladder holding swords and shields. Those who were killed retreated steadily.

Then a khaki-colored team flag rose slowly from the ladder.

"Dare thieves!"

The Han army led with red eyes, shouted angrily, raised his sword and forced the heavily armored yellow scarf army back in front of him, turned around and caught the two yellow scarf sword and shield hands.

One of them couldn't react in time, his throat was cut with a knife, and he fell to the ground on the spot.

Another person wanted to step forward to help, but the gathered Han halberd soldiers had already recovered and stopped him where he was.

"Oh!"

A loud noise came from below the city. It was the Yellow Turban Army's crash car hitting the gate of the east city.

"call out----"

"Wan Sheng!!!"

Then louder shouts came from below the city,

The leader of the Han army was stunned for a moment, but he forgot the heavily armored yellow scarf army behind him.

A white knife light appeared in his peripheral vision.

At the juncture of life and death, the Han army turned around desperately to escape the fatal blow.

But the blood still flowed out from his abdomen, which was cut open by the Huan Shou Knife of the heavily armored Yellow Turban Army. Fortunately, the heavy armor on his body prevented the Huan Shou Knife from being cut open. broken belly.

"die!"

The heavy-armored yellow turban army let out a loud shout, he heard the whistle of the general attack, and knew that his robes were coming to the city to support him, and he needed to open a passage for them!

The heavily armored Yellow Turban army slammed into the Han army leader who was still standing still, and with a "poof", the ring head knife in his hand pierced the Han army leader's abdomen.

Blood flowed uncontrollably from the mouth of the leader of the Han army, and the Han army knew what had happened. The pain from his abdomen was eroding his consciousness, and his strength was gradually disappearing.

"Han Army!"

The Han army led with all their strength and hugged the heavily armored Yellow Turban army in front of them, and fell to the outside of the city with all their strength.

"mighty!"

The two fell from the top of the city like fallen leaves.

The last scene in front of the Han army led was the surging yellow tide.

Chapter 111 The Battle of Jinyang ([-])

At noon, the scorching sun in the sky became more and more dazzling, but the Yellow Turban Army's offensive on Jinyang City still did not slow down.

"put!"

On Jinyang City, the Marquis of the Han Army shouted angrily, and as he swung his arm down, the archers of the Han Army at the crenel drew their bows and released their arrows in unison, only to hear the loud sound of piercing the sky above the city wall, and countless feathered arrows had been pierced through. The low sky shot fiercely at the heads of the charging Yellow Turban soldiers.

The surging yellow tide was one of the obstacles, and in an instant, there was a continuous wailing sound from the Yellow Turban Army formation outside the city, and countless soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army fell to the ground and fell into a pool of blood .

"kill!!!"

"call out----"

The sharp wooden whistle sounded again, and Li Heng led his bodyguards to the outside of the Wengcheng City in the East City. The defense of Jinyang City did not seem to be as tenacious as imagined. Even on several walls, the Yellow Turban Army had already occupied the city. Stay on your feet.

This matter is unusual and a little unreasonable, because logically speaking, the defense of Jinyang City should not be so bad. The two partial divisions in the north and south only contained more than 1000 Han troops, and there were at least 2000 Han troops defending the east city.

In addition to the temporary recruitment of strong men, as well as the servants of various families, there are no more than 7000. The Yellow Turban Army's troops that were thrown into the siege at this time were no more than [-] at full count.

Moreover, this was only the first wave of tentative attacks. Xu An frowned and looked at the Wengcheng tower of Jinyang City. The drums of war, the soldiers coming and going on the city wall, and the flags flying, did not stop for a moment.

"not good!"

Xu An's complexion changed drastically, and he stood up abruptly. The attack on the East City was too smooth, and the first wave of tentative attacks by the Yellow Turban Army reached the top of the city.

The elite of the Han army is probably not in the east city, and Zhang Yi has other arrangements for it, so the biggest possibility is that Zhang Yi wants to eat a partial division of the Yellow Turban Army in the South City or North City first, and weaken the strength and morale of the Yellow Turban Army as much as possible. .

"Ugh——"

The long horn sounded in Beicheng. Xu An suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of Beicheng. His heart sank in an instant. There must be something wrong in Beicheng.

Xu Huang, who was leading the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army on the outskirts of the East City, also heard the horn of the North City at this time. He turned his head to look at the position of the large banner of the Chinese Army, and a light blue flag was waving in the direction of the North City. with.

Xu Huang didn't dare to stay, so he quickly turned his horse's head, and galloped towards Beicheng with the knights of the Yellow Turban Army behind him.

Zhang Yi was really too bold. The Yellow Turban army outside the city was several times stronger than the Han army in the city. Xu An never expected that Zhang Yi would dare to take the initiative to attack under such circumstances.

"Move the big banner fifty steps forward, put the fourth and fifth parts into the attack sequence, and take the East City for me!!!"

Xu An pulled out the knife around his waist, pulled it forward with all his strength, and shouted in a deep voice.

"The first climber will be promoted to three levels, and will be rewarded with ten thousand coins!"

Since Zhang Yi led his troops out of the city and wanted to break through the North City's partial division first, then the defense of the East City must be much weaker. Xu An immediately gave the order to attack.

"The first climber will be promoted to three levels, and will be rewarded with ten thousand coins!"

"The first climber will be promoted to three levels, and will be rewarded with ten thousand coins!"

"The first climber will be promoted to three levels, and will be rewarded with ten thousand coins!"

The general order of the big banner was passed down level by level, and the whistle and drums of the general attack had already sounded. When everyone saw Xu An's big banner moving forward, the entire Yellow Turban Army under the East City suddenly boiled.

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous!"

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous!"

"The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, the age is in Jiazi, and the world will be prosperous!"

The cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami came again.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The passionate drums sounded at the center of the Yellow Turban Army, and the yellow flag embroidered with tiger patterns followed the fourth and fifth Yellow Turban Army sergeants forward, and the five hundred yellow angels moved almost in unison.

They were all covered in heavy armor, holding a tall tower shield in their left hand, a long halberd on their right shoulder, and a ring-headed knife hanging from their waists. They had already dedicated everything to Huang Tian.

They chanted the scriptures of the Taiping Dao in low voices, and strode forward. The whispers gathered in the battlefield, and everyone heard them, and they only felt like Sanskrit sounds. Morale skyrocketed again.

"The big banner sent an order to attack the city with all its strength!!!"

Xu An raised his saber horizontally, swung it down suddenly, and said loudly.

"There is an order from the big banner, let's attack the city with all our strength!!!"

"There is an order from the big banner, let's attack the city with all our strength!!!"

"There is an order from the big banner, let's attack the city with all our strength!!!"

The military flag was flying, and countless yellow scarves swarmed out, like huge waves in a strong wind.

Li Heng outside the urn city at the east gate saw the movement of the Chinese army's banner, and heard the whistle of the general attack.

In fact, he had already discovered that there was something wrong with the guards of Jinyang City, but he suspected that it might be a trap to lure the enemy, so he didn't attack with all his strength, and he still launched the offensive tentatively according to the order, and fought steadily.

Now that he saw the signal from the Chinese army, Li Heng no longer hesitated. He drew out the sword around his waist and pressed it towards Jinyang City. He shouted sharply, "Attack!"

The next moment, Li Heng held a shield in one hand and a knife in the other, and strode up the ladder.

Dozens of soldiers in full armor have swarmed behind him.

The moment Li Heng's Army Sima Banner appeared on the ladder, the Yellow Turban Army in the entire East City boiled, and their blood was also aroused.

"Wan Sheng!!!"
