The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 227 Clothes
The new wind blows, and countless banners are rolled up in the wilderness.

The red and black banners fluttered under the fierce north wind.

Zhang Yi had a golden helmet on his head, wearing double armor, holding a Han sword, and stood upright on the high platform. The fiery red banner was blown by the strong wind and flew wantonly.

"The Han army is mighty!!!"

There are deafening shouts coming from all around, the momentum is so loud that it can stop the clouds!
In front of Zhang Yi's eyes, outside the camp, there were all Hun cavalry of the Xiongnu with their left lapels covered in darkness rolling in like huge waves.

But no matter how the Huns shouted, howled, and fought hard, the Han troops who were already ready to go in the camp could repel the enemy's invasion.

The Han army barracks with red flags planted all over stood on the wilderness, like a rock in a torrent, despite thousands of waves and thousands of impacts, it still stood still.

The vigorous sound of war drums resounded over the vast wilderness, and every time the drum sounded, countless Han soldiers lost their lives.

The low sound of the horn echoed outside the strong camp, and every time the sound of the horn sounded, countless Hun cavalry fell to the ground.

"kill!"

The Han army on the camp shouted hoarsely.

A military officer of the Han army was guarding a camp wall with a halberd in his hand.

The blood had soaked through his robe, and seven or eight Huns in furs fell beside him, and there were several scars on his body.

The heavy casualties did not stop the attack of the Huns outside the camp, but aroused their bloody courage even more.

His name is Li En, who was born in the Li family of Yanmen. His father's generation established a foundation in Bingzhou by virtue of military exploits, and it has been prosperous for hundreds of years.

This foundation must not be destroyed by Li En's generation. His wife is still in Jinyang City. If this battle is defeated and Bingzhou does not survive, his wife and his family will definitely not be spared.

Li En had dealt with these Huns all his life, and he knew that those Huns who roamed the grasslands all year round would never show mercy.

In front of the powerful Han army, they will prostrate on the ground, respectful like dolphin dogs.

But as soon as they notice that you are starting to weaken, they will turn into ferocious beasts again, revealing their sharp fangs. When they find the right opportunity, they will pounce on you and kill you with one blow!
The iron halberd swept across, knocking down several Huns outside the camp who wanted to cross the camp wall.

The Huns without armor and Hu Qi without a sharp knife are indeed at a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat.

"Military be careful!"

There was only a shout, and a soldier standing next to Li En rushed towards Li En.

Li En didn't know what happened, so he didn't have time to react. He was caught off guard and threw him to the ground. The soldier blocked Li En's body, and used his body to prop up a safety barrier for Li En. .

"Swoosh, whoosh, whoosh!!"

There was a sharp piercing sound, and countless shrill howls suddenly sounded from the camp of the Han army.

Li En watched, the look in the eyes of the soldier who was protecting him under his body quickly dissipated.

He was only wearing a thin piece of leather armor, which protected his chest and back, how could he block the rain of arrows like locusts.

The rain of arrows from the Huns covered the sky and the sun, and fierce hand-to-hand combat broke out between the two armies above and below the camp.

Although Hou Bugudu sent knights from other tribes to the battle this time, he didn't just want to consume the strength of these tribes, among these Hun cavalry.

He chose a lot of sharpshooters to mix with the army, in order to suppress the Han army's strong bows and crossbows, as well as support the infantry in close combat, and fight with the Han army behind the camp wall.

Facts have proved that this is indeed extremely effective. Most of the Huns are good at archery and have bows and arrows. Although most of them are riding bows and soft bows, their number is far greater than that of the Han army. It is still very effective and effectively suppressed the Han army. .

And the sharpshooter sent by Xubu Gudu Hou, You Ge was not far outside the camp wall, drawing bows and arrows from time to time to help those Huns who climbed the wall, and shot and killed those Han soldiers who were exposed inside the camp wall.

Li En pushed away the Han soldier who was pressing on him and had his eyes closed forever. He held a long halberd and stood up.

The sound of footsteps sounded in front of Li En, and in front of Li En's eyes were countless black Hun cavalry, holding their weapons high, screaming and swarming towards the camp, as if they were endless.

As for the section of the camp wall where Li En was, including his personal guards, no more than seven or eight soldiers could still stand.

"Could it be that I am dying here today?"

Li En firmly held the halberd in his hand.

He is not reconciled, he is really not reconciled, how can the century-old foundation that his ancestors exchanged with blood be overthrown in his generation.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The high-spirited battle drums in the Han army camp did not stop for a moment because of the rain of arrows from the Huns.

Louder footsteps sounded behind Li En, and Li En turned his head hastily.

Behind him are flaming banners.

Beneath the banners were resolute faces, a soldier of the Han army holding a sword and shield.

The red flag fluttered, and a stream of red streams was heading towards the camp wall along the road between the military tents.

During the siege of Baideng in the past, the Shanyu Modun of the Huns commanded the Huns' army and besieged Liu Bang's soldiers and horses on Baideng Mountain.

But the Xiongnu besieged for seven days and seven nights, launched countless attacks, and did not occupy Baideng.

In the end, Liu Bang successfully led the Han army out of the encirclement.

The nascent Han Empire was able to turn the corner.

Their fathers protected their emperor, their country.

They believe that today they will repel the enemy and break out of the encirclement!
……

In Hedong County, Yong'an City, countless khaki-colored banners on the wall of the North City fluttered in the wind.

On the city wall, soldiers wearing yellow scarves stood densely, erected spears and halberds were as lush as dense forests, and crowds of people were as turbulent as waves.

Near the Beicheng tower, there are no longer soldiers wearing yellow scarves.

Instead, there was a yellow angel wearing heavy armor, a khaki battle robe, a yellow tassel on the top helmet, and a tiger-striped battle flag on his back.

On the top floor of the tower, more yellow angels stood on it.

There are also many Tiqi wearing the uniform of the Eagle Wolf Guard, shuttling among them.

Xu An stood behind the railing with his hands behind his back, staring at the wilderness north of Yong'an City.

Behind the horizon, there seemed to be something attracting him.

There was a sound of footsteps climbing the stairs, and a scout of the yellow turban army, who was busy in the world, climbed up the tower under the watchful eyes of the yellow turban army generals beside Xu An.

"The battle between the Southern Xiongnu and Zhang Yi has reached a stalemate. The Southern Xiongnu has detected our army's scouts and observed that the Xiongnu Huqi are gathering. They should want to expel all our army's scouts."

After Xu An pondered for a moment, he issued a military order.

"Collect the scouts, leave a team of Rangers to monitor the Southern Huns, and the rest of the scouts will leave the battlefield first."

"promise!"

The scouts of the Yellow Turban Army who came to report back were ordered to leave.

Xu An pressed his hands on the railing of the city tower. After receiving the secret report from the Eagle Wolf Guard in Jiangyi City, he knew that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty issued an order to send the Xiongnu to the south.

He asked Liu Pi to lead troops south to defend Jiangyi and Yicheng, Zhang Yan guarded the camp on the north bank of Fenshui, He Man guarded Caisangjin, and Guo Tai led the Baibo army to guard Luliang Mountain to guard against the Han army in Puzicheng.

In Yong'an City, Xu An received a report from Yingwei Tiqi and found Zhang Yi's big flag.

After weighing, Xu An still decided to raise troops northward in person.

Xu An never expected that the Southern Huns would launch a rebellion so quickly, because in the original time and space, the Southern Huns had planned for a long time after Yufulo left before taking Qiangqu Chanyu to the ground.

In the end, the troops were divided into two groups, one from Yanmen County and the other from Xihe County. Both groups advanced together, captured Jinyang, and controlled Bingzhou.

According to Xu An's previous plan, he wanted to defeat the main force of the Bingzhou Army led by Zhang Yi in Yong'an City, and then attack from Shangdang and Hedong County to capture Jinyang and Taiyuan County in one fell swoop.

As long as Taiyuan County is captured, Yanmen County and Xihe County are almost at your fingertips, and the Southern Huns will change frequently, and the border areas of the Han army will definitely not be peaceful.

Yanmen County in the north will become an absolute isolated island, with Huns in the west and north, bandits in the east, and mountains.

To the south is Taiyuan County, which was captured by the Yellow Turban Army. At that time, the soldiers and civilians in Yanmen County will be isolated and helpless. Once the Huns put pressure on them and fall into war, the only one they can seek help from is the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An.

Although the court of the Yellow Turban Army said that they were rebellious, the dispute between the sky and the yellow sky, if you talk about it carefully, is just a domestic struggle.

But the war with the Xiongnu was a national war, and it was a battle for clothes.

The hair on the left lapel and the hair on the right lapel have been fighting for thousands of years. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, they often fought and killed the barbarians in the north.

Even if they know that the Yellow Turbans are rebellious, if Yanmen County really loses to the Huns, there is a high probability that they will ask the Yellow Turbans for help.

At that time, Xu An will be able to take over Yanmen County without bloodshed.

As for Xihe County, if the Han army in Puzicheng does not retreat, the guards of Xihe County will be weak, and Xu An can take Xihe calmly.

While the defenders of Xihe County retreated to Xihe County, Xu An could capture Puzi City first, relieve the worries in the northern part of Hedong County, and thus completely control the entire northern part of Hedong County.

And Xihe County will definitely be harassed by the Southern Huns. Xihe County only has a road to the west of Shangjun to communicate with the Han court. As a result, like Yanmen County, it either surrenders or is destroyed by the rebellious Southern Huns.

As for the subsequent threat from the Southern Huns, Xu An is not too afraid. Although the Southern Huns have many cavalry and their troops are brave and good at fighting, their military equipment is weak after all.

As long as they occupy Bingzhou Jiancheng, with the Great Wall and camps, it is still difficult for the Southern Huns to enter the hinterland of Bingzhou.

As for why Xu An did not choose to attack Taiyuan County first, but chose to attack Hedong County, it was because Bingzhou had many cavalry, while the Yellow Turban Army had few cavalry.

Most of Bingzhou's soldiers are elites who have gone through blood and fire in the border counties, and their strength is several times stronger than that of the inland county soldiers.

The most important thing is because of the population. Hedong County has a large population, while in Bingzhou, only Taiyuan County has a population of [-]. Xihe County and Yanmen County have only more than [-] people. The land is vast and sparsely populated.

Most of the border counties such as Yanmen County, Xihe County, and Shang County rely on the financial support of the central government to maintain defense against the county soldiers of the Southern Huns.

Before Zhang Yi expanded his army, he asked for economic support from the central court.

To be honest, Xu An could have made a more decisive and ruthless choice.

Don't think about occupying Taiyuan County, Xihe County, and Yanmen County, but sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Just like in the original time and space, the Southern Huns defeated the Han army left behind in Bingzhou, captured Jinyang, and finally occupied Taiyuan County.

At that time, Xu An only needs to guard the checkpoints to prevent the Southern Huns from going south, and he can also gather the refugees from the North to enrich his own side.

This not only saves the loss caused by attacking Jiancheng, but also does not need to leave too many defensive troops.

But just like this, sit back and watch the lives of the people die, sit back and watch the northern barbarians bloodbath Bingzhou, and then sit back and reap the benefits of the fisherman?
Xu An couldn't do it, as a person who traveled through thousands of years and came to this troubled world struggling to survive, he couldn't do it.

As an ordinary soldier of the Yellow Turban Army, he couldn't do it, and as a great virtuous teacher of the Taiping Dao, he couldn't even do it.

He knew what it was like to be in danger, and he knew the horror of death.

Xu An knew better what the Xiongnu and the Han Empire were fighting for. They were fighting for survival, clothing, and the continuation of the nation!
He knows Wuhuluanhua, he knows that outrageous history.

The former Chinese territory has become someone else's pasture, and it has become someone else's territory.

Two-legged sheep was the name of the Han people at that time.

With no clothes and hats, the left lapel is draped, and he is reduced to livestock.

No matter how hard Cang Tian and Huang Tian fought, it was nothing more than an internal fight. Regardless of victory or defeat, Huaxia's culture, Huaxia's soul still survived.

But those alien races in the north want to break their backs, crush their souls, devour them, and turn the territory their fathers brought down into pastures.

That's why Xu An wanted to seize Taiyuan County and control Bingzhou before the Nanxiong tribe went south.

But what I didn't expect was that the Southern Huns came so fast and so quickly.

The flapping of butterfly wings really turned into a hurricane, changing the original history beyond recognition.

At this time, in the north of Yong'an City, the Southern Huns were fighting fiercely with the Han army commanded by Zhang Yi in the wilderness.

Xu An knew clearly that once Zhang Yi was defeated and the main force of the Han army in Taiyuan County was wiped out, then the entire Taiyuan County would be reduced to a horse ranch for the Huns.

The Yellow Turban Army lacks well-trained crossbowmen and well-trained cavalry, so it is impossible to pose a threat to it in the field.

As long as the Huns defeated Zhang Yi's troops, even if Xu An led troops to go north to collect the fruits of victory at this time.

However, the Southern Xiongnu, which has a large number of cavalry, can easily cut off the fragile supply line of the Yellow Turban Army and force it to return to Hedong and Shangdang counties.

"Raise the drums and gather the yellow angels, soldiers battalion, sharp warrior battalion, and all cavalry, including armored cavalry."

Xu An turned around slowly, staring at the generals of the Yellow Turban Army on the tower.

"promise!"

All the generals of the Yellow Turban Army agreed with a loud bang.
