The World of Yellow Sky

As for the organization of the army, in order to make it easier for the generals to know their troops, Xu An did not use those complicated names, but changed them to a number system.

Except for the well-known military pawn battalion, sharp soldier battalion, archers and crossbowmen, the other fourteen sergeants are numbered backwards from 1. The ones brought by Liu Pi from Jingxing Pass are the seventh and eighth divisions. sergeant.

……

"On the Anshan flank, the Bachishan Yellow Turban Army attacked again. Our army's flank was defeated, and the main force is retreating."

"The fourth team has already launched and is marching towards Qingshiling."

Lu Zhi was riding a steed, standing on the mound, looking at the fierce battlefield not far away.

"Unexpectedly, a warrior under Zhang Jiao's command in the past is now a general."

Lu Zhi sneered, swung his whip down suddenly, and shouted sharply: "Order the soldiers of Anshan's fifth formation to attack immediately!"

Boom!Boom!Boom!

The drums of the Han army did not stop for almost a moment.

Guo Daxian stationed himself with a halberd, he half squatted on the ground, panting heavily.

Wave after wave of the Han army in front of them did not give Anshan's Yellow Turban army any chance to breathe.

Fortunately, the Yellow Turban Army came here in advance and established a solid camp first. In addition, the narrow mountain roads prevented the Han army from deploying its full strength, which was why it withstood the continuous offensive of the Han army.

The shouting and killing sounded again, Guo Daxian felt his scalp go numb for a while, and the banner of the Han army appeared outside the wall of the Anshan camp again.

Guo Daxian was in a trance, and some thoughts began to arise in his heart, could such a powerful army really be defeated.

He occupies one side in the Taihang Mountains, but even if it is the most powerful thief in the north, Zhang Baiqi, the sergeants under his command are no more than the elite Han troops in front of him, and the command and dispatch are orderly, and the offensive has hardly stopped.

"call out"

While the red flag was waving, sharp whistles sounded from the southeast of Anshan Camp.

Guo Daxian felt relieved, he knew that it was the sergeant sent by Liu Pi to support him.

Guo Daxian, a sergeant under Liu Pi's command, has seen it a long time ago, and his military morale is several times stronger than those of the yellow scarves under his command.

Not to mention the iron armor on Liu Pi's personal guards, you must know that there are only thirteen sets of iron armor in Guo Daxian's army.

Even Guo Daxian still listened to Liu Pi's words. The great virtuous and good teacher Xu An also had a battalion of soldiers equipped with iron armor. Although it was not the kind of ring-body armor worn by the elite soldiers of the Han army, it was also an extremely terrifying thing.

The sound of the drums of the Han army became more and more urgent. Guo Daxian took the water bag from the personal guard, raised his head and took a few sips, then threw it on the ground.

The Yellow Turban Army on the Zhai Wall has already engaged the Han Army. The Han Army's siege vehicles have opened two gaps before, and now more Han troops are pouring desperately into the camp of the Anshan Yellow Turban Army from the gap.

"Boys, follow me to kill the enemy!"

Guo Daxian waved his long halberd, roared, and rushed forward with countless yellow scarf soldiers with their heads wrapped around him.

As the horn sounded and the drums sounded loudly, more people fell into the fight, and the waves of red and yellow were intertwined with each other on the narrow mountain road.

People died every second, and people were crying. The wilderness that was once full of birds and beasts was full of people's voices.

The tall khaki general flags, Liu Pi's hand holding the knife is already sweating.

The fierce battle at the bottom of the mountain made him feel pressured, Liu Pi turned his head and looked to the south, which was the direction of Zuo Miaozhang Bayingzhai.

In the distance, Liu Pi also saw the waving red military flag.

The Han army attacking from Shangdang County was attacking it, but compared to the fierce battle that broke out at the foot of Bachi Mountain, the intensity of the fighting between the two armies in the south was several times weaker.

Moreover, Liu Pi also transferred more than forty knights under his command to Zuo Miao Zhangba's camp as support.

The first is to ensure safety, and the second is to prevent small groups of Han troops from detouring and attacking the Yellow Turban Barracks near Bachi Mountain.

Although this possibility is unlikely, if the military Sima of Shangdang County is really daring, he sends a light soldier to bypass Zuo Miaozhangba's camp.

It would be fine if the sentry found it in time, but if not, the morale of the Yellow Turban soldiers who suddenly appeared behind the camp would definitely be greatly affected.

What Lu Zhi is good at is to grasp the enemy's fleeting weakness and defeat the enemy with swift and fierce attacks.

Relying on his persistence, he waited for Zhang Jiao to show his flaws before launching a fierce attack, defeating Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turban army one after another, and besieged Guangzong.

Liu Pi led the Yellow Angels to fight Lu Zhi many times. Naturally, he had a good understanding of Lu Zhi's tactics, so Liu Pi tried his best to avoid any problems that might affect the defense of the camp.

Any flaws may become the reason for the defeat of the Yellow Turban Army in the Battle of Bachi Mountain.

Time passed slowly between the fighting between the two armies.

Like the soldiers of the two armies, the Golden Crow in the sky was exhausted, and the original dazzling light dissipated from his body, and it was slowly falling back into the mountains.

"Chenium"

When only half of the Golden Crow was left in the distance, the sound of Ming Jin withdrawing troops finally sounded from the central army of the Han army.

The red torrent slowly slid down the hillside, and the cheers of the soldiers also came from the camps of the Yellow Turban Army on the Bachi Mountain.

Liu Pi didn't cheer, he looked at the fiery red banner slowly disappearing down the mountain with a solemn expression.

This was only the first day, and Liu Pi had to persist for at least another half month for Xu An, and what Liu Pi knew was that the Han army's offensive would be even fiercer tomorrow.

When Lu Zhi was retreating, he took one last look at Bachi Mountain in the distance.

The sergeants of the Han army around were marching silently. During the half-day offensive, Lu Zhi almost mobilized half of the sergeants of the army.

He already had a preliminary understanding of the combat power of the Han troops in Bingzhou.

This half-day offensive was not just a tentative attack, but Lu Zhi was also testing the combat power of his soldiers.

Lu Zhi needs to know the general combat strength of the soldiers under his command, so that he can divide these soldiers, mobilize them better, and better assign the order and focus of the attack.

To know yourself and the enemy, you need to know yourself first, and Lu Zhi judges the general combat power of his own army based on the results of his attacks and his performance.

The second is to observe the defense method of the Yellow Turban Army and the strength of the defense.

Chapter 159 Climb the City!

In the third year of Zhongping, summer, August [-]th, it was already the fifth day of the siege.

"kill!!!"

Under the city of Jincheng, there was another burst of shouting and killing, and countless sergeants of the Yellow Turban Army with their heads wrapped roared and marched slowly.

Looking as far as the eye can see, the khaki-colored flags are as magnificent as the tide.

The Yellow Turban Army's fierce attack on Jincheng from three sides has lasted for two hours, and another new force has joined the battlefield.

Qin Xi, Sima of the Han Army, trembled a little with his knife holding the knife. He only felt that his hand holding the knife was as heavy as if it had been filled with lead.

After fighting for five days, the Yellow Turban Army's offensive was extremely ferocious. If it weren't for the slaves sent by the powerful families in the city, and the soldiers recruited, the city would have been destroyed.

But although the military strength of the Han army has been supplemented, most of them are only newcomers who have not passed the battle formation. After a brief drill of the army formation, they are issued spears and brought them to the city wall.

Therefore, in recent days, as the Yellow Turban Army's offensive has become more violent, the casualties have also increased sharply.

Qin Xi clenched his fist and slammed the blood-stained bricks in front of him. He looked at the north and shouted in a low voice in despair: "It's been a month since the siege, why is it so late for reinforcements to arrive!"

The guards around Qin Xi all lowered their heads, and the visors of their helmets covered their eyes.

Isolation and helplessness bring them deep despair.

For a month, they have not received any news of a support army coming to help.

"call out"

The shrieking sound like a ghost resounded under the city again.

Some of the Han soldiers guarding the city trembled involuntarily when they heard the sound.

They were afraid, they were terrified of the whistle, a shriek that brought nothing but death.

There are even rumors in the city that these are the ghosts summoned by the Taiping Dao talisman, possessing the bodies of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, and the screams are the voices of those ghosts.

The souls of those killed by the Yellow Turban Army will be captured by those ghosts and enslaved by the Yellow Turban Army.

Qin Xi didn't know where these rumors in the city came from, but these rumors were serious and intensified in the city.

By the time the Han army in the city reacted and started arresting the criminals, it was already too late.

Not to mention the strong men who assisted in the defense, the soldiers and slaves sent by the powerful families, even the Han army originally in Jincheng felt timid.

"Kill!"

Accompanied by the deafening shouts of killing, the new force of the Yellow Turban Army rushed up the tall ladder.

"Stabilize the army!"

The generals of the Han army yelled loudly at the surrounding sergeants, and a forest-like array of guns spread out on the city wall.

The ferocious Yellow Turban soldiers rushed straight down from the ladder.

The two sides fought hand-to-hand on the city wall, and the archers on Jinglan aimed at the generals of the Han army and started shooting.

After a few days of fighting, they have become familiar with the tactics of the Han army. As long as they shoot the leader of the Han army to death, those army formations composed of strong men will be vulnerable to a single blow.

Standing under the khaki banner, Xu An observed the Yellow Turban Army's attack on Jincheng.

Xu Huang stepped forward from behind, first saluted Xu An, and then reported: "Information has come from our army's secret operations in Jincheng, and the rumors in the city have taken effect, and people are panicking at this time."

Xu An nodded. People in this era believe in ghosts and gods. As early as when Jincheng was besieged, he sent some eloquent talismans to sneak into Jincheng first.

After the siege, those spies who sneaked into the city began to release all kinds of sensational rumors, pretending to be helpers by ghosts and gods.

Moreover, Xu An asked the cavalry to hold the banners of the Han army captured in the Battle of Kuicheng, which greatly frightened the Han army in the city.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

In the direction of Jincheng, a burst of cheers resounded through the sky suddenly.

Xu An raised his eyes and saw a khaki flag flying on the city wall of Jincheng, which proved that the Yellow Turban Army had occupied that section of the city wall!

The style of the khaki-colored banner is exactly that of the Sima in the Yellow Turban Army.

……

On the city wall of Jincheng, the flag of Sima of the Yellow Turban Army fluttered on it, and the surrounding army formation composed of strong men had already been killed and scattered.

More and more Yellow Turban soldiers are swarming up the ladder hooked to the city wall, and more Yellow Turban soldiers are also rushing from the Jincheng city.

Wang Ren was covered in blood, and thick blood was flowing down the blade of the long knife in his hand.

There were several knife marks on the iron armor on his body, which were the injuries caused to him by the Han army's counterattack.

Fortunately, Wang Ren was wearing iron armor, otherwise he might have become a corpse in the Battle of Jincheng like many soldiers of the Yellow Turbans.

"Hahahahaha!"

The whistle sounded one after another, and Wang Ren looked afraid and did not dare to go forward and laughed loudly.

Just laughing also affected his chest injury, which was caused to Wang Ren by a Han army leader who has now returned to Jiuquan.

The pain caused Wang Ren to grin his teeth for a while, and a guard beside him hurried forward to support Wang Ren.

Wang Ren looked around with a grin and said with a smile: "The achievement of ascending first was finally taken down by Wang Ren!"

"call out"

The whistle sounded again under the city, followed by cheers from the Yellow Turban Army formation on the city wall.

A sergeant shouted loudly: "It's the soldier camp!"

When everyone in the army formation heard the sergeant's shout, they were all cheered up. As long as the soldiers battalion stepped on the city wall, it almost heralded victory.

"kill!"

Qin Xi's eyes were about to burst, and he strode forward holding a long halberd.

He had already noticed the yellow turban soldiers moving rapidly under the city.

Qin Xi knew that if the elite troops were allowed to climb the city wall, everything would be lost.

A large number of Han troops followed Qin Xi and killed the Yellow Turbans who were marching towards the city wall.

Everyone also knew that the situation was not good at this time. If they wanted to defend the city, they had to fight to the death. The Han army on the city wall was also close to madness at this time.

"die!"

A chief of the Yellow Turban Army didn't react at all, Qin Xi's halberd had already pierced his abdomen.

"what!!!"

Qin Xi let out an angry roar, and strode forward with a long halberd.

The long halberd of the Yellow Turban Army was clutching the halberd inserted into his abdomen in pain, and was pushed backward by Qin Xi.
