The World of Yellow Sky

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 the southern capital.

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.

Five miles to the north of Bachi Mountain, Sanmu Mountain, three quarters before the hour (13:45).
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.

……

Five quarters of the hour (14:15).

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 covered with animal skins appeared in the crowd of the Han army. 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.
