The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 161 Changping
Gaodu fell, and the southern gate of Shangdang County was opened by the Yellow Turban Army of Taihang.

The entire Shangdang County was thus exposed to the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army. The original soldiers in Shangdang County and Zhang Yi's newly recruited soldiers were only [-].

The Han army rushing to aid Yangyi went to a county army of [-] soldiers, with [-] soldiers in Gaodu, and the entire counties in Shangdang County only had more than [-] soldiers. How can they stop Xu An's Yellow Turban Army? offensive.

Moreover, most of these county soldiers are newly recruited soldiers, which are far inferior to the original old soldiers.

On August [-]th, the Yellow Turbans captured Gaodu, captured [-] Han soldiers, and drove straight into the middle of Shangdang County.

The scouts of the Han army in the northern part of Gaodu immediately went north to report the fall of Gaodu to Wang Gong, the prefect of Shangdang County, almost immediately after the Yellow Turban Army occupied Gaodu.

When Wang Gong received the news of the fall of Gaodu, his eyes darkened and he almost passed out.

The Han army in Yangyi has been unable to make achievements for a long time, and is still fighting fiercely with the "moth thieves" in Bachishan.

Now there are only more than [-] sergeants left in the entire Shangdang County. How can these troops stop the wolf-like "moth thief" of Taihang.

Wang Gong didn't care about other things at this time, and hurriedly communicated to various ministries that the Han army hoped that Changping would gather, and besieging the city would only prolong the death a little.

The city of Gaodu is solid and solid, but it can't resist the onslaught of the Yellow Turban Army for five days. The military equipment of the other counties and cities is far inferior to Gaodu, so how can they stop the "moth thieves" of Taihang.

The height has been broken, and the last line of defense is Changping, and only in Changping, with the help of Changping's terrain, is it possible to persist until the main force of the Bingzhou Army led by Lu Zhi comes to help.

After Wang Gong received the news of the fall of Gaodu, he immediately notified the powerful families in the county.

The powerful families in Shangdang County also felt the threat of the Yellow Turban Army at this time. You must know that those powerful families who fell into the hands of the Yellow Turban Army never had a good end.

The hundred-year-old family business was completely destroyed by the "moth thief", and the gentleness was swept away, and even his life was in danger.

At this time, from the mouth of the county guard Wang Gong, they learned the news of the fall of Gaodu City, and they all promised to cooperate with Wang Gong's actions.

Wang Gong himself was born in the royal family of Taiyuan, and now the situation is urgent, and he doesn't care about rules and laws.

He hurriedly summoned the surrounding Han troops, and even dispatched some of the Han troops stationed in Huguan to the north of Changping.

The Han army also reluctantly assembled more than a thousand county soldiers in the north of Changping.

Moreover, the Han army stationed in the north of Changping received a lot of assistance, and the counties took out almost all the weapons stored in the arsenal to arm these sergeants.

The slaves and soldiers of the powerful families, as well as a large number of strong men and civilian husbands, were all sent to the north of Changping.

Wait until August [-], when the forward of the Yellow Turban Army arrives in the south of Changping.

At this time, the Han army in the north of Changping patched together, and finally got together more than [-] people, but how much combat power they had, even their commander, Wang Gong, was unknown.

But now, with Wang Gong personally sitting in Changping, plus the slogan of defending the country and the bounty, at least the morale of the Han army at this time is still acceptable.

As for Guo Hua, the army commander in the south of Bachi Mountain, because of Lu Zhi's military order, Guo Hua stayed in the south of Bachi Mountain and continued to harass the camp of the Yellow Turban Army.

However, in the crisis of Shangdang County, Wang Gong still ordered Guo Hua's soldiers to rush to the north of Changping.

The forward scouts of the Yellow Turban Army heard the information that there were a large number of Han troops in Changping, and immediately handed it over to Xu An.

When Xu An just received the scout's report, he couldn't believe it. Liu Pi was now fighting Lu Zhi on Bachi Mountain, and the Han army in the northern part of Bingzhou flew over unless they had wings.

And if it is the county soldiers of Shangdang County, it is impossible, because there are [-] Han troops in Jincheng, and there are about [-] Han troops in Bachi Mountain.

Shangdang County is not a border state, nor is it a wealthy state. How could it be possible to support more than [-] soldiers?

When Xu An came to the south of Changping with the main force of the Yellow Turban Army, he led his personal guards to observe on the mound, and found some clues.

The camps of the Han army seemed quite messy, and not many scouts from the Han army came out to find out. The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army had already controlled most of the area.

According to the reports of the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army, the scouts of the Han army were much weaker than those they encountered before.

This is a bit unusual. First, the scouts of the Han army only had two or three confrontations with the scouts of the Yellow Turban Army, and then handed over control of the entire battlefield to the Yellow Turban Army.

What's more, the camps of the Han army seemed noisy. Many Han troops were still cutting down trees and were just preparing to build the camps.

Most of the built camps are located in unreasonable ways, and the camps are built in a haphazard manner, and some camps are not even equipped with archery towers.

Such a weirdness made Xu An a little puzzled. The Han army was particular about camping, so how could they behave like this.

Such a weird camp made Xu An resonate. When Guanghe was in Jizhou in the seventh year, most of the camps of the Yellow Turban Army were built in this way, but most of the Yellow Turban Army were not familiar with military formations at that time, and they still set up camps.

Generally speaking, the commanders of the Han army basically have such experience, and it is absolutely impossible to do such ridiculous things

Xu An was suspicious, and even felt that there was something wrong with it?
"Gong Ming, Gong Du."

Xu An rode his horse back under the banner and said to the two generals.

"The two of you each led [-] fine cavalry to attack from the left and right sides to find out the reality of the Han army, and harass the Han army that has not yet built their camps. The Han army is acting strangely, so be careful in ambush."

Xu Huang and Gong Du agreed and hurried away with Xu An's command flag.

A moment later, two cavalry troops rushed out of the Yellow Turban Army formation.

Two khaki-colored banners flew out from the left and the right, and the horses were galloping, and the sound of horseshoes was like thunder.

Six hundred cavalrymen of the Yellow Turban Army had crossed the formation of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Yan, He Man and other generals stood beside Xu An, holding their breath and concentrating on observing the Han army in the distance.

Then a stunned scene appeared in the eyes of everyone.

Seeing the arrival of the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, those Han troops fled back one after another, and there seemed to be commotion in the camps that had been built.

Moreover, no cavalry of the Han army came out to expel those cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

The cavalry led by Xu Huang and Gong Du easily caught up with the fleeing Han army, without encountering any effective resistance at all, and the Han army fell under the iron hooves of the Yellow Turban Army.

Zhang Yan frowned, and said in doubt: "Is the Han army defeated?"

Those Han soldiers in the distance, as well as the Han soldiers who were building camps, were fleeing back sparsely.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army was still far away, and the Han troops had already started to flee.

The rest of the camps of the Han army were all closed, and there was no army to help resist the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu Huang and Gong Du felt as if they had entered the land of no one.

Xu An carefully observed the surrounding terrain, but there was no place to place an ambush around.

"He Man." Xu An whipped his whip, "You take the sharp men from the headquarters first, and support Xu Huang and Gong Du to attack the Han army."

"Zhang Yan, why are you leading the front army to suppress the formation, be careful, there may be ambushes from the Han army ahead."

Although he was puzzled, Xu An still chose to march. After all, the Han army in front of him was in a mess, and his vision was fairly wide. Even if the Han army had reinforcements, the Yellow Turban Army had a strong force, and they could stabilize their formation and remain invincible.
