The World of Yellow Sky

The mountain wind blew past, and there was a faint collision of swords and swords, mixed with the sound of swords and swords striking each other.

The face of the yellow turban sentry on the watchtower changed. He knew that there were his own rangers on the official road. At this time, the sound of fighting came, it must be his own scout rangers who were fighting the enemy.

"You continue to be vigilant, I will report to the general."

The sentinel of the Yellow Turban Army hurriedly said to the two sergeants beside him, and then quickly slid down the wooden ladder beside him.

Under the watchtower, there was the sound of the quiver and the sword on the sentry's body shaking, and then the figure of the sentry disappeared between the layers of military tents, while the other two sergeants on the watchtower stayed on it dutifully.

At this time Liu Pi had also woken up. He was sitting at the head of the Chinese army tent, listening to the scout reports from the other three camps.

At this moment there was also a commotion outside, Liu Pi frowned slightly, now that the battle is imminent, there must be no changes in the camp, the Taihang Yellow Turban raid on Shangdang County must not be missed.

Liu Pi stood up, and all the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the military tent also looked out of the tent with serious faces.

At this moment, one of Liu Pi's personal guards hurried into the tent.

"Our army's scouts are engaging the Han army's cavalry near the lower official road of Bachi Mountain, and the main force of the Han army may be behind."

Liu Pi pressed the ring-shou knife on his waist with his left hand, walked down the first seat steadily, and said coldly: "The Han army in Bingzhou can't sit still..."

"Where is the left mustache!"

A general of the yellow scarf army with long mustaches in the tent heard Liu Pi's order and hurried out of the queue.

"Three days ago, our army's scouts discovered that the Han army in Shangdang County was camping twenty miles to the south. Now that the main force of the Han army is coming out of Yangyi, the Han army in Shangdang County will definitely come to attack and harass you. You should prepare early."

"Left school, Guo Daxian!"

The other two generals of the Yellow Turban Army heard Liu Pi's call, and they also bowed their hands to obey the order.

"I will give you two more 200 crossbowmen each. Be sure to stick to the camp and not lose. If not, I will order that you are not allowed to go out of the camp to chase the enemy without authorization!"

Liu Pi looked at Zuo Xiao and Guo Daxian, and ordered.

Now Liu Pi has a heavy responsibility, and he must buy time for Xu An who is attacking Shangdang.

Otherwise, the soldiers from these counties in Bingzhou would go south, the number of Han troops guarding the city of Shangdang County would increase, and the Taihang Yellow Turban would be drawn into a war of attrition, and that would be a lost situation.

So Liu Pi must be cautious and cautious.

Liu Pi turned to look at the generals of the Yellow Turban Army in the tent, and said in a deep voice: "The great virtuous and good masters are besieging Jincheng in the south of Shangdang County, and the defense line in the north of Shangdang must not be lost."

"Anyone in the army who dares to retreat will be punished immediately! The souls of those who died in battle will return to Huang Tian, ​​and those who escape will be subjected to all kinds of punishments in this world!"

Liu Pi pulled out the knife around his waist, and a cold light suddenly appeared in the large tent of the Chinese army. Liu Pi's eyes wandered over the bodies of the generals in the tent, and the bloodthirsty eyes revealed in his pair of tiger eyes. And cruel.

As the former leader of the Yellow Angelists, Liu Pi himself is also a devout Yellow Angelist, and he will carry out Xu An's orders to the letter.

……

A quarter of noon.

On the official road beside Bachi Mountain, the scout cavalry of the Han army is increasing, and the yellow turban cavalry who have been wandering near the official road are retreating.

Most of the elite cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army in the mountains were taken to the south by Xu An, and now these cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army under Liu Pi's command may be more appropriately called infantry on horseback.

At the beginning, they could gain a certain advantage by virtue of their numbers. When the cavalry of the Han army gradually increased, how could they defeat those brave and skilled Bingzhou wolf cavalry.

However, the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army also completed their mission and were called back to the camp by Liu Pi.

Liu Pi climbed to the high platform of Bachi Mountain, and in the distance, he could already see the Han army marching slowly. Group after group of Han troops were gathering in a gentle area about five or six miles north of Bachi Mountain.

The queue like a long dragon undoubtedly made Liu Pi feel the pressure. The responsibility of this battle is heavy, and Liu Pi only feels that there is a huge burden on his body. He must persist until Xu An goes north to conquer Tunliu.

And a more ominous news reached Liu Pi's ears.

The "Lu" embroidered on the flag of the Han general who led the army was not Zhang Yi's "Zhang".

Being qualified to use the Dazhu Banner, and still surnamed Lu, Liu Pi can only think of one person, Lu Zhi!

In the seventh year of Guanghe, when the eight prefectures of the Yellow Turban came together, the emperor Liu Hong worshiped Lu Zhi as the general of Beizhong Lang, and ordered the guard Wuhuan Zhonglang to serve as his deputy. He led the soldiers of the Fifth Northern Army to Jizhou to pacify the Yellow Turban. military.

At that time, Zhang Jiao led the Yellow Turban army in Jizhou to fight and win victories all the way, but after meeting Lu Zhi, he was repeatedly defeated by the Han army led by Lu Zhi, and he was defeated all the way and finally had to retreat to Guangzong City.

Then Lu Zhi led his army to surround Guangzong County, dug trenches, made siege equipment, and prepared to attack the city.

It's just that Zuo Feng, the little Huangmen, went to Lu Zhi's army to inspect the work. Some people persuaded Lu Zhi to bribe Zuo Feng, but Lu Zhi refused.Zuo Feng didn't get any benefit, so he held a grudge.

In June of the same year, after Zuo Feng returned to Luoyang, he slandered Liu Hongjin that Lu Zhi could easily capture Guangzong, but he did not move. Back to Luoyang.

Then the imperial court worshiped Dong Zhuo as the general of Dongzhong Lang, who succeeded Lu Zhi to pacify the Yellow Turban Army in Jizhou, but Dong Zhuo was naturally defeated in the end.

After the Yellow Turban Army got a chance to breathe, they defeated their successor Dong Zhuo and defeated the Han Army again.

It wasn't until Huangfu Song quelled the Yellow Turban Army in Dongjun of Yanzhou that the Han court sent Huangfu Song to Jizhou to quell the rebellion, and then forced Zhang Jiao back to Guangzong again.

Lu Zhi may not be as outstanding in battle as Huangfusong, and his military strategy is not as famous as Huangfusong, but judging from his record against Zhang Jiao, in fact Lu Zhi is not inferior to Huangfusong.

The Bingzhou Han army is led by Lu Zhi, and the chances of winning are undoubtedly a little higher.

Chapter 157 The Battle of Bachi Mountain ([-])

Liu Pi looked solemnly at the main force of the Han army who was camping in the distance, beads of sweat dripped from his back.

The shadow that Lu Zhi brought to him was a bit serious, or the shadow that Lu Zhi brought to the entire Jizhou Yellow Turban Army was very serious.

You must know that the morale of the Yellow Turban army led by Zhang Jiao was at its peak at that time, and it was at the height of the sun.

However, he was hit head-on by the Han army led by Lu Zhi and suffered a major defeat. He was defeated all the way to Guangzong before he stabilized the situation.

The mobilization of the Han army under Lu Zhi's command was orderly. Liu Pi led the yellow angels to defeat the Han army for a while, and was immediately entangled by another Han army to cover the retreat of the defeated Han army.

Under the command of Lu Zhi, the Han army advanced and retreated freely, and attacked and defended in an orderly manner.

No matter how many waves of attacks Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban army launched against him, even Liu Pi and Huang Shao brought the Yellow Angels to press on him.

The Han army under Lu Zhi's command could withstand the offensive and stand in place like a rock.

When the morale and endurance of the Yellow Turban Army continued to decline and they were exhausted, the sharp soldiers of the Northern Army easily defeated the Yellow Turban army led by Zhang Jiao.

If it is said that Zhu Jun used his troops to invade like a fire, and the offensive continued continuously, like a prairie fire; Huangfu Song used his troops as slowly as a forest, step by step, and the majestic formation slowly advanced.

Then when Lu Zhi used his troops to defend, the army formation was tight and immovable like a mountain, and when he attacked, he was like a gust of wind, extremely fast.

If it is really Lu Zhi, then the situation Liu Pi is facing now is several times more severe than what Xu An expected during the Taihang Mountain military meeting.

Liu Pi's brows were tightly furrowed. This matter has exceeded expectations. He needs to contact Xu An as soon as possible to convey the military situation here.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, when the Yellow Turban Army and the Han Army were burying their pots and cooking, several envoys of the Yellow Turban Army quietly disappeared among the mountains and headed for Jincheng in the south.

Under the watchful eyes of Liu Pi, the camp of the Han army slowly took shape, and the rangers of the Han army galloped on the official road.

Even several knights of the Han army dragged the bodies of the dead scouts of the Yellow Turban Army. These knights of the Han Army waved their weapons and showed off their power outside the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

Although the Yellow Turban soldiers in the camp were very angry, even if they left the camp, they could not catch up with the cavalry of the Han army who were coming and going like the wind, not to mention that Liu Pi's general who forbids to take the initiative to attack was in front.

Wuli to the north of Bachi Mountain, Sanmu Mountain, 13:45 at the third moment of the end of time.

The central army of the Han army in Bingzhou was stationed here. Outside the large tent of the Chinese army, the sergeants of the Han army had set up a simple watchtower.

Lu Zhi's fiery red banner stood tall outside the tent, and the banners of the other generals and schools of the Han army were surrounded by the side like stars holding the moon.

The terrain map of mountains and rivers near Bachi Mountain has been hung beside the high platform for Lu Zhi and other generals and schools of the Han Army to view.

Lu Zhi closed his eyes slightly, and looked at the terrain map in front of him with his hands behind his back.

The specific location of the Yellow Turban Army's station has been determined by the scouts of the Han army.

Two miles to the northeast of Bachi Mountain, there is a hill named Qingshiling, and the general of the Yellow Turban Army stationed there is Zuo Xiao.

One and a half miles to the northwest, there is a low mountain named Anshan, and the general of the Yellow Turban Army stationed there is Guo Daxian.

No matter where the Han army attacked, they would expose their flanks to the attack range of the Yellow Turban Army on Bachi Mountain, and they could not attack with all their strength.

Moreover, the roads leading to Bachi Mountain, Qingshiling, and Anshan Peak are quite narrow and cannot accommodate too many soldiers, which means that the Han army is at a disadvantage in terms of strength on the battlefield during a partial offensive.

……

14:15 at five o'clock.

The mountain wind blew past, and Liu Piduan sat on the general platform of Bachi Mountain.

He had a clear view of the entire battlefield situation, and any changes in the Han army could not escape his eyes.

Liu Pi could already hear the drums of the Han army's assembly. In the distance, Sanmu Mountain was full of people's voices, countless red flags were waving, and the red flood surged in the mountains.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The mighty sound of war drums sounded in Sanmu Mountain, and within three quarters, the Bingzhou Han army came out!

Teams of Han army sergeants holding shields and halberds walked forward slowly under the leadership of Han army generals. They lined up a dense army formation and slowly moved towards Qingshiling, and Anshan oppressed them.

The banners were shaking in the Han army formation, and the sound of drums was constantly ringing in the Han army formation. The soldiers of the Han army holding tower shields were moving forward. Their goal was the Zuoxiao military camp in Qingshiling.

"Fire arrows!"

As the Han army entered the range, a large number of feathered arrows also flew out of the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

Although the Han army was protected by tower shields, this wave of arrow rain still made more than a dozen Han troops lose their ability to fight.

However, a few casualties did not affect the morale of the Han army too much. Under the cover of the tower shield, the Han army was even advancing faster.

The distance between the two armies was getting closer and closer, and when the Yellow Turban Army had just passed another wave of arrows, the top of the Han army's shield formation suddenly let go.

In the Han army's formation, the sound of the bowstring vibrating and the sound of the arrow piercing through the air suddenly rang out.

Although the Yellow Turban Army was protected by the wall and had the advantage of the terrain, the quality of the archers of the Bingzhou Han Army could not be compared with these ordinary Yellow Turban Army archers.

The bows held by the bows of the Bingzhou Han army's archers are all the standard bows of the Han army, and the arrows they shoot are also heavy arrows, not the light and soft bows in the hands of the Yellow Turban soldiers in the Zuoxiao camp.

Behind the wall of the Yellow Turban Army, there were bursts of wailing.

The sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army under Zuo Xiao's command were only equipped with thin leather armor, but even with this kind of leather armor, how could they resist the heavy arrows of the Han army.

But soon the Yellow Turban Army's counterattack followed, and the five bed crossbows on the wall were suddenly activated by the Yellow Turban Army's strong men.

The huge spear spear plunged into the Han army formation with unparalleled impact, and the spear spear directly pierced the tall tower shield, taking away the lives of the Han army soldiers behind the shield, and caused a catastrophe in the Han army formation. There was a commotion.

Immediately afterwards, the dense rain of arrows flew out of the camp of the Yellow Turban Army again, and shot into it through the gap made by the spear gun, and the sergeants in the Han army fell one after another.

The flag was waved on the Bachi Mountain, and the Yellow Turban Army stationed in the middle of the mountain heard the order and began to reinforce Qingshiling and Anshan.

The mountainous area is not convenient for cavalry to mobilize. If the cavalry of the Han army attacked from their backs, they would be worthless at all, not as good as infantry.

Cavalry is precious, but it is not so meaninglessly sacrificed.

The Han army inspected the camp of the Yellow Turban Army for many days, but they were not completely unprepared. They built a batch of siege equipment in advance.

Several equipped shields and siege vehicles with animal skins appeared in the crowd. The soldiers of the Han army chanted and pushed the siege vehicles forward.

At the same time, the Yellow Turban Army who supported them had also rushed to the flank of the Han Army.

Under the fiery red banner, the flags were flying, and the Han army's formation began to move towards the flanks.

Chapter 158 The Battle of Bachi Mountain ([-])

On the Bachi Mountain Watchtower, Liu Piduan sat under the khaki Yellow Turban General's banner.

On the mountain road, the sergeants who sent orders walked through it non-stop, and a piece of military information from the front line was sent to the watchtower of Bachi Mountain.

"The Han army is facing the fourth wave of offensive against Qingshiling. Colonel Zuo asks the general to send more crossbowmen to support Qingshiling!"

"The seventh and fifth sergeants of our army have repelled the flanks of the Anshan Han army as planned. The main force of the Han army attacking the Anshan camp is retreating, but the fifth section has suffered a lot of casualties. Please support."

Liu Pi frowned slightly, and asked, "How about the casualties in the fifth song?"

The messenger immediately replied: "The total number of people in the fifth song is 523, with 113 casualties. This is the second attack."

"Order the fifth song to retreat to the mountainside camp to rest, and the third song will take over from the fifth song to help defend the Anshan camp."

"Another 100 crossbowmen will be transferred to the Qingshiling camp, and the sergeants from the first and second part of the second part will also be sent to the Qingshiling flank to help defend."

"promise!"

The two messengers agreed, quickly repeated Liu Pi's general order, took the command flag from Liu Pi's personal guards, and hurried down the watchtower.

Liu Pi looked at the increasingly fierce fighting situation down the mountain, and couldn't help but clenched the ring head knife around his waist.

The defense of Jingxing was handed over to Li Heng by Liu Pi, and now it is handed over to Li Heng, the original head of the Li family in Lutai Mountain.

Liu Pi brought all the sergeants from Jingxing and Jingxing after training. In order to complete the task assigned by Xu An and cut off the roads in Shangdang County and northern Bingzhou, he only left Li Heng's untrained army in Jingxing.

However, there are still more than 3000 people in Jingxing, and Xu An attaches great importance to Jingxing's defense. On the basis of the original defense, the defense force has been strengthened a lot, and it is more than enough to deal with the possible invasion from the direction of Jizhou, so Liu Pi took it with confidence. The sergeants of the two departments rushed to Shangdang.
