The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 589 One wrong step, one wrong step
In the north of Hanyang County, on Ayang City, there are many Xuanqi.

Every five steps above the city wall, a soldier in fur and a black scarf stood on it, vigilantly observing the actions on the official road.

Ma Que pressed the Yanling knife on his waist, with a dignified expression. People in the city have been in panic these days. It is said that the front line was defeated. Died in the battle.

Before that, Ma Que didn't believe it at all, and he didn't take it too seriously, but then, all kinds of news came one after another, and they really lost Anding County, as well as Ma Teng's contact.

Then Han Sui led thousands of cavalry troops past the city of Ayang, and fled in a panic towards the southwest. He didn't care about anything along the way, as if he was avoiding a strong enemy.

At this time, Ma Que was sure that something really happened in Anding County.

The battle of Gao Pingchuan may have been a disastrous defeat as rumored.

But Ma Que did not believe Han Sui's news that Ma Teng was dead, and refused Han Sui's request to enter the city.

Then Ma Que sent several teams of scouts in the direction of Anding County one after another, but the news they got was extremely limited, and the news that the Yellow Turban Army entered Hanyang County was also learned by Ma Que.

Immediately afterwards, the order with Ma Teng's seal was sent to the city, and it was sent by an envoy who claimed to be the Yellow Turban Army.

Although Ma Que took it and confirmed that it was Ma Teng's seal and handwriting, he still did not relax his vigilance. The Eagle Wolf Guard had activities in Hanyang County. Such a letter is not impossible for Eagle Wolf Guard.

Ma Que had already made up his mind, unless the dust settled and the facts were confirmed, he would never hand over Ayang City.

Han Sui occupied the two cities of He Dao and Ping Xiang in the west of Han Yang County. In order to contain Han Sui's offensive, Ma Teng deployed heavy troops in the four cities in the middle of Han Yang County, Ayang, Chengji, Xianqin, and Ji County. , in case Han Sui may launch an attack.

And the defenders of these four cities are all members of the Ma clan without exception, and Ma Que is Ma Teng's younger brother.

"Captain, something is wrong."

Just as Ma Que was thinking, a guard pointed to the outside of the city and shouted in a deep voice.

Ma Que's thoughts were interrupted, and then he looked out of the city along the crenel.

With just one glance, he was already stunned by the scene on the official road.

On the official road, countless yellow flags are flying, and a large number of cavalry are galloping along the official road.

Han Sui's military flag is azure blue, while the military flags under Ma Teng's command are all black and black. Now in the whole world, only the Yellow Turban Army and the Taiping Road use earthy yellow as the background color of the flag. Which side it belongs to is already very clear.

The sudden appearance of the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army outside Ayang City naturally caused panic among the soldiers of Ayang City. The appearance of the Yellow Turban Army outside Ayang City undoubtedly proved that they were indeed defeated in the battle of Gaopingchuan.

Could it be true that, as rumored, their general Ma Teng is dead, or has surrendered...

"quiet!"

Ma Que looked around the noisy city wall and scolded in a cold voice.

"Whoever wants to lead to death can continue to make noise as much as possible."

The hustle and bustle in Ayang City gradually subsided, and the prestige that Ma Que had built up in the past had an effect.

"Rumble rumble——"

The horse quilt looked down at the scene below the city, and the thunderous sound of horseshoes echoed in his ears. The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army ignored Ayang City, but continued to walk southwest from the official road outside Ayang City. .

Their goal was not Ayang City from the beginning.

Ma Que looked at the cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army outside the city, feeling extremely dignified in his heart.

Ma Teng's life and death are unknown, all kinds of rumors must be intensified because of the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to suppress, I am afraid...

The more Ma Que thought about it, the more frightened he became, and at this moment, there was another noise in his ears.

"The major general is outside the city!"

A soldier rushed over and reported loudly.

"Major General..."

Ma Que was startled when he heard this.

……

"Ma Que has surrendered in Kaesong and handed over the seal."

Xu An nodded slightly, and looked away from the walls of Ayang City.

Ayang City is not the end of this trip, this time they are going to Han Sui's headquarters in Hanyang County - Pingxiang!
"Ayang City is one hundred and twenty miles away from Pingxiang..."

Xu An led the horse and watched the cavalry galloping past on the official road.

"enough."

After a whole day of marching against time, they only rested for six hours yesterday, and spent the rest of the time on their way, and finally arrived at Ayang City before noon on December [-]th.

"One hundred and twenty miles..."

The cavalry that followed Xu An all the way to the west were all the elites of the Yellow Turban Army. It is equipped with a new type of harness.

Lu Bu led the Xiaoqi Battalion one step ahead, took over the Xianbei Cavalry and Xiliang Cavalry at Jiequanting, handed over the cavalry left by Zhang Liao to Wang Xin, and then led the Xiaoqi Battalion to follow Xu An to the west.

Han Sui assembled a large army in Pingxiang and went south to capture Ji County. Once Ji County was captured, he could occupy the natural danger of the Wei River, block the offensive of the Yellow Turban Army, isolate Wudu County, and then capture Wudu County in one fell swoop.

At that time, although Han Sui lost Beidi County and Wuwei County in the north, it was irrelevant. With Wudu and Hanyang County south of the Weishui River, he could calmly replenish his troops and restore the rhythm of the battlefield. back to his rhythm.

Xu An hadn't expected this move before, but he finally reacted in time, and immediately sent Zhang Liao to lead Bingzhou Camp to Ji County.

The Battle of Ji County will become the key to the battle of Liangzhou, and may even have a far-reaching impact than the Battle of Gaopingchuan.

The sound of horseshoes was like thunder, and Xu An looked at the official road in front of him.

As expected of Han Sui, Han Sui was able to quickly get out of the haze of defeat, and reacted immediately, choosing to attack Ji County.

A hundred secrets are sparse, and the theory of war on paper will eventually feel shallow. Xu An really did not expect this step.

But Han Sui miscalculated the most critical step.

Wrong step
Both Xu An and Han Sui were fighting for time, moving forward non-stop.

According to Han Sui's deduction, in any case, there is no way for the Yellow Turban Army to arrive one step ahead of him.

But he didn't know how fast the main cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army with three horses and equipped with new harnesses was moving, let alone how firm the will of the Yellow Turban Army's cavalry was.

Time finally stood by Xu An's side.

"The big banner sent the order, go straight to Pingxiang, don't stop, spare no effort!"

Xu An raised the horsewhip in his hand, his gaze was serious.

Han Sui's dangerous move planted the root of disaster for himself, and Hanyang County is bound to become his burial place.
