The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 400 Counterattack! 4k
The bright red blood dripped down from Xu Huang's armor little by little, and the plain Zheng robe had also been dyed blood red by the blood.

Xu Huang was riding on the Hualiu horse, holding the long-handled battle-axe upside down. The blood was all over the surface of the long-handled battle-axe, and it was slowly flowing downwards. The drops fell into the pool of blood on the ground.

Countless earth-yellow banners passed by Xu Huang's side, the shouts of killing shook the heavens and the earth, the Yellow Turban Army was unstoppable, and the Han Army no longer had the edge they had at the beginning, and they were retreating...

In front of Xu Huang, a Han general wearing the Han army general's school-style armor was slanted to the ground, his left shoulder armor had been cut with a big hole, and blood was seeping from it. come out.

The man opened his eyes wide, with a frightened expression on his face, as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying before he died.

A fiery red banner fell beside him, and the banner covered his lower body. Although the banner was stained with blood, it was still said that the words embroidered on the banner could be vaguely seen.

It was a "Zhao" character, and the Han general who fell on the ground was Zhao Rui (ruì), the chief general of the Han army's right army.

The right army of the Han army has been defeated across the board!

Lu Zhi had indeed left behind in the right army of the Han army. Among the [-] soldiers of the Chinese army guarding Lu Zhi, more than [-] soldiers were actually fake. The Xiyuan Forbidden Army of the barracks was handed over to Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin.

The purpose was to let Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin dispatch the Xiyuan Forbidden Army to break the deadlock when the two armies were anxious, defeat the left army of the Yellow Turban Army in one fell swoop, and then support the Central Army to besiege the Central Army position of the Yellow Turban Army with the Central Army of the Han Army.

But what Lu Zhi never expected was that Xu An and Xu Huang had already discovered these arrangements of his.

According to normal logic and thinking, the distance between the two sides is far away, covered by banners and military formations, it is really difficult to find the phenomenon of shaming.

However, Xu An asked craftsmen to make binoculars. Under the binoculars, Xu An had a panoramic view of the more than a thousand people who went to the barracks. The more than [-] Xiyuan Forbidden Army hidden among them can see clearly.

Xu Huang followed suit, and the two sides sent troops out to fight each other. Xu Huang cooperated with Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin's attack, and slowly dispatched a large number of troops to defend from multiple lines. launched an attack.

After Xu Huang dispatched a reserve team again, taking advantage of the fierce battle between the two armies, Sui Yuanjin suddenly led the infantry of the upper barracks of the Xiyuan Imperial Army to attack suddenly, while Zhao Rui was sitting in the center and commanded by the center. ,

And this happened to fall into the trap set by Xu Huang.

Under the binoculars, Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin's arrangements had already been clearly seen by Xu Huang.

Xu Huang immediately ordered Guo Daxian to lead the center formation, and Yan Rou and Yan Rou each led more than [-] Wuhuan cavalry to press out from the two wings of the main battlefield.

After the Xiyuan Forbidden Army led by Sui Yuanjin broke through several Yellow Turban army formations in succession, they also encountered an ambush by the Yellow Turban Army.

In order to guard against the Xiyuan Forbidden Army, Xu Huang summoned almost the entire crossbowmen and elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army's right army.

The Xiyuan Forbidden Army led by Sui Yuanjin was first hit by the rain of arrows from the Yellow Turban Crossbowmen, and then by the most elite soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army from the four states.

These soldiers are all equipped with iron armor and armed with gun shields. They are the most elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army of the Four States. Although the iron armor on them is not as strong as the Xiyuan Imperial Army, and the range of coverage is not very large, but their combat power But it should not be underestimated.

In a sense, they are the Yellow Angels. They are all devout believers of the Taiping Dao, fearless of life and death, and swore an oath under the altar, willing to fight for the Taiping Dao to the last moment.

It's just that compared with the Yellow Angels in Bingzhou today, they are inferior in terms of training speed and military equipment. They are almost the same as the Yellow Angels in Guanghe's seventh year.

More than a thousand yellow turban soldiers from the four states who were not afraid of death were dying, just like this blocking the Xiyuan Forbidden Army who was rushing forward frantically.

Their almost desperate style of play also caused headaches for the West Garden Guards.

It is true that the imperial guards of the West Garden are all elites, but they are human beings after all, they are real people, they will also feel fear, pain, and fear.

But these devout Taiping Dao believers, like those dead men who were raised from childhood, are not afraid of life and death at all. They shouted forward and fought willingly, as if they were no longer mortals.

If it wasn't for the swords that fell on them, they would howl and die. The soldiers of the Xiyuan Imperial Army would really think that they were evil spirits crawling out of hell.

The souls of those who died in battle will return to the yellow sky, and those who flee and fight will fall into hell forever!
Since the Yellow Angels formed an army, no one has ever flinched in front of a battle. They are strictly selected elites.

They believe in what they believe in, and they are willing to take on the toughest and most dangerous jobs.

The Xiyuan Forbidden Army's assault was stopped, Zhao Rui was a little anxious, because the front of the Yellow Turban Army seemed to be shaky, so he dispatched the reserve team under his command again and put them into the battlefield, hoping to break the front of the Yellow Turban Army's right army in one fell swoop.

But Xu Huang and Yan Rou had been waiting for this moment for a long time. When the reserve team of the Han army left, Xu Huang and Yan Rou no longer concealed it, and no longer fought with the cavalry of the Han army. , The two quickly defeated the Han cavalry who were in charge of covering.

At this time, there are only a small number of county soldiers left in the center of the Han army, and most of the rest are village braves who have no combat effectiveness and are just used to strengthen their momentum.

Zhao Rui felt that there were more than [-] people in the middle of the formation, and even if the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army repelled the cavalry of the Han army covering the flanks, they would never dare to charge into the formation.

But what Zhao Rui never imagined was that the Han army's left army was strong in the middle, and Xu Huang had already observed it clearly with binoculars.

Without hesitation, Xu Huang led the cavalry under his command to attack the Han army's center formation. The brave Wuhuan cavalry are best at attacking the army formation, and they have their own methods.

They carry a large number of throwing weapons and riding bows. They know where to attack, which is the weakest point of the army formation, and know how to attract the attention of the enemy and let them leak their flaws.

Both Xu Huang and Yan Rou are excellent cavalry generals, and Xu Huang is not someone who doesn't know how to improve.

As early as when the Great Wall was opened and Shanggu Wuhuan entered the two counties, Xu Huang began to ask the leader of Shanggu Wuhuan for advice. Now, Xu Huang can even be said to have reached the point of proficiency in the use of cavalry, which is why he dared to The reason for directly attacking the center of the Han army.

The Han army was strong on the outside and strong on the outside, only a small number of county soldiers were on the outside, and the inside were actually full of village warriors. Only Zhao Rui was guarded by a hundred soldiers.

Under the leadership of Xu Huang and Yan Rou, Wuhuan Tuqi easily aroused the panic of the soldiers from the surrounding counties, then broke in from the weak point, and broke through the Han army's central formation in one fell swoop.

Zhao Rui didn't have any ability to resist against Xu Huang at all. He only walked under Xu Huang's hand for a while, and then Xu Huang slashed at the junction of his right shoulder and neck with an axe, and fell off the horse.

Zhao Rui's death also became a fuse, the center line was attacked, Zhao Rui's banner fell down, and the right army of the Han army was completely panicked.

The main general died in the battle, the morale of the right army of the Han army plummeted, and the morale of the Yellow Turban army was greatly boosted. When this ebbed and flowed, the Han army suffered successive defeats, and then developed a rout.

Wuhuan's dashing cavalry drove the broken soldiers in the middle of the Han army towards the front to kill the generals. Sui Yuanjin, who was already caught in a bitter battle, suddenly couldn't hold on any longer.

When Sui Yuanjin, who wanted to lead the imperial army to break out of the encirclement, was shot into a sieve by a powerful crossbow, the morale of the soldiers who went to the barracks of the Xiyuan imperial army also fell to the bottom.

People with two legs can't run with four legs, and the remaining battle formations of the Han army's right army retreated one after another due to changes in the center formation.

Most of the people who made up the right army of the Han army were Xiangyong. The deaths of Zhao Rui and Sui Yuanjin made it worse. The entire right army of the Han army had completely collapsed.

On the plain of Zhangshui, there are all Han soldiers and Xiangyong who fled in panic and fled in embarrassment.

Countless banners fell to the ground, and the soldiers of the Han army threw away their helmets and armor, and fled in the direction of their backs.

"Order Huang Long and Guo Daxian to continue chasing the Han army."

Although he was on the front line of the battlefield, although the Han army still had some strength to resist, Xu Huang didn't care too much. He knew very well that the defeat of the Han army's right army was a foregone conclusion, and there was absolutely no possibility of a comeback.

"Yan Rou."

After Xu Huang finished his orders, he turned his head to look at a man in Wuhuan costume beside him, and ordered.

"Subordinates are here."

This person was Yan Rou, one of the commanders sent by Shanggu Wuhuan, and he was also the commander of the previous Zhangshui scout battle.

Yan Rou was wearing Wuhuan-style armor, and the helmet on his head was decorated with fringe. Although he was a Han Chinese, his appearance and behavior were not much different from those on the grassland.

After all, he lived in the northern grasslands far longer than when he was in Han. Now when he speaks Chinese, it is even a little blunt, with a slight accent, and even Nanlou's official dialect is much better than him. times.

"Stay here and command the troops directly under you to prevent the Han army from counterattacking."

Xu Huang lifted the reins and reined in the horse.

"Ugh——"

The low and desolate sound of the horn sounded slowly, and the scattered Wuhuan cavalry reined in when they heard the sound of the horn, and stopped chasing the fleeing Han army.

That was the sound of the horn representing rallying.

The Wuhuan cavalry sent by Nanlou to assist Xu An in his attack on Jizhou are rare and vulgar, so it is not difficult to obey orders.

After all, it is because of Xu An that the Shanggu Wuhuan tribe can move the old and weak, women and children to the south of the Great Wall.

After weighing the pros and cons, Nanlou had already made a decision. He put the prosperity of the Wuhuan tribe in Shanggu, as well as his own future, on Xu An.

Because of this, the Wuhuan tribe of Shanggu has lost all their money this time.

More and more Wuhuan cavalry gathered under Xu Huang's general flag. Xu Huang pulled the Hualiu horse under him, and scanned the group of Wuhuan cavalry who were ready to go.

Xu Huang raised his long ax horizontally, pointing the tip of the ax forward, pointing to the main battlefield of the Zhangshui Plain, where the Central Army of the Han Army and the Central Army of the Yellow Turban Army fought.

……

Lu Zhi stood on the lookout cart, observing the overall situation, and a series of military orders came from his mouth.

On the lookout cart, flags were flying, one after another troop left the vicinity of the lookout cart, and one reserve team after another was thrown into the battlefield by Lu Zhi.

The situation was deteriorating, and Lu Zhi's face was frosty, extremely gloomy.

The left-wing cavalry of the Han army led by Meng Dai failed to hold out until Jiang Yiqu arrived with the heavy cavalry of the Han army, and was defeated by the right-wing cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army first.

"After all, I still underestimated the combat power of the 'Moth Thief' Xiaoqi Battalion..."

Although Lu Zhi's face was gloomy, he didn't yell at him. There was nothing wrong with Meng Dai's choice. He could see it very clearly from the trolley.

From the beginning of sending cavalry to encircle and kill, to the end of personally leading his entourage to fight with the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army, Meng Dai did nothing wrong.

Now the generals of the Yellow Turban Army are no longer as weak as they were in the seventh year of Guanghe. Lu Zhi sighed. Xu An's elite soldiers and powerful generals emerged in endlessly. The day's decline went down.

In the court of Luoyang, there seemed to be some unknown changes, and the embroidered clothes messenger also changed when he came.

When Lu Zhi received the emperor's edict last time, he felt that something was wrong, but as a courtier, it was really not good for him to directly intervene in the affairs of the inner court.

The political struggle is too cruel and complicated, and Lu Zhi is not willing to touch it, nor does he want to touch it.

It is Lu Zhi's idea and creed to seek his own government in his position and fulfill his duties.

Lu Zhi was loyal to the Han family, loyal to the emperor, and loyal to his own beliefs. He was not greedy for power, nor was he fond of official positions. In prison, Lu Zhi didn't have too many complaints.

Later, because of Huangfusong's efforts, he gave up Jizhou's military exploits in destroying the Yellow Turban, and was named Shangshu. He still did his duty and did not neglect his duties.

"Raise the blue flag and let Jiang Yiqu retreat to the formation."

Lu Zhi leaned his body on the lookout pole car and gave the order, but when the order was given, his expression became obviously haggard.

Hearing the order, the warriors of the Han army on the watch pole raised a blue banner and waved it desperately.

The cavalry army covering the left wing of the Han army was defeated by the Xiaoqi battalion of the Yellow Turban Army, so Jiang Yiqu had no reason to lead the precious heavy cavalry of the Han army to attack the Xiaoqi battalion of the Yellow Turban Army.

The cavalry army led by Xu An followed closely not far from Jiang Yiqu. Without the cooperation of the left-wing cavalry of the Han army, Jiang Yiqu led the heavy cavalry of the Han army to quickly defeat the cavalry of the Xiaoqi battalion.

If the enemy cannot be defeated quickly, then the cavalry led by Xu An will arrive, and the situation will turn into a melee that is beneficial to the Yellow Turban Army. It's different from the fish on the chopping board, which can only be slaughtered by others.
