The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 655
In the third year of Chuping (192), July [-]th.

The inside and outside of Guangcheng Pass was filled with an extremely unpleasant smell of blood.

At the last moment when the sharp soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army entered Guangcheng Pass, Gai Xun led more than [-] cavalry and finally arrived in a hurry.

More than [-] Han cavalry rushed into the battlefield, and the front of the Yellow Turban Army who entered Guangcheng Pass was stretched too far. They did not dare to risk being encircled and wiped out. Customs.

The arrival of Gai Xun, like a pinning needle, rejuvenated the morale of the low-morale soldiers at Guangcheng Pass, and then thousands of Han infantry in red clothes and black armor stepped in. When Guangcheng Pass was passed, the entire Guangcheng Pass also boiled at this time.

The fiery red banner of the Han army once again appeared on the city wall of Guangcheng Pass. Countless Han troops raised their arms and shouted. Shouts like mountains and tsunami came from inside Guangcheng Pass. The sound of Huangtian's war drum in the Yellow Turban Army was heard.

Gong Du was not reckless this time. He learned a lot when he was teaching martial arts in Jinyang. He is no longer the commander-in-chief of a place where he only knew about rampage and knew nothing about marching and fighting. He is now a Yellow Turban Army The heavy-numbered general in the book ranks first among all the generals.

He knew very well that the current situation of Guangchengguan was no longer easy to capture.

Gai Xun brought more than [-] soldiers this time, plus the original defenders of Guangcheng Pass, the Han army had twice as many infantry as the Yellow Turban Army guarding Guangcheng Pass.

The terrain of Guangchengguan is steep. If it weren't for the counterweight trebuchets that can destroy the city and walls, but relying on primitive siege vehicles such as siege vehicles and rush vehicles, the ants would attack the city. Guangcheng can only be defeated by losing half of it, and this is still facing a group of newly recruited county soldiers.

Although the Central Plains had been at peace for a long time before, Dong Zhuo was in chaos, and Sun Jian went all the way north, conquering the eight passes, and the soldiers entered Luo. The first order after regaining the lost ground was to repair the eight passes and strengthen them again.

The "Thunderbolt Car" in the Yellow Turban Army terrified everyone, not because no one was thinking about how to resist the attack of the "Thunderbolt Car".

The city wall of Guangcheng Pass has been reinforced several times, which is also an important reason why Guangcheng Pass can withstand the indiscriminate bombing of the Yellow Turban Army for so long.

Although the wall of Guangcheng Pass is now broken, Gai Xun has already led the main force of the Han army to arrive.

The Wuxiang Battalion is a cavalry army, so it is naturally impossible for Gong Du to take precious cavalry to attack the pass built on the steep terrain.

The two battalions of the Yellow Turban Army under Gong Du's command have a total of more than [-] people, and now there are only more than [-] people left. The casualties in the attack on Guangcheng Pass are more than those who died in the previous two battles in Luoyang and Yique Pass. .

If another strong attack is launched, it is unknown how many casualties will increase.

The infantry of the Yellow Turban Army, in addition to the Yellow Angels and the trapped camp, the most elite are the soldiers and sharp soldiers.

The warriors and sharp warriors have now been expanded into the fourth battalion respectively.

The "battalion" of military pawns and sharp soldiers is the same as "department". All of them are composed of Wuqu warriors, and the full number is [-] people.

The four battalions of military soldiers and the fourth battalion of elite soldiers have a total of [-] people.

Usually they are under the direct control of Xu An, and the battalion officers of the Eighth Battalion, except for the elite battalion led by Guo Daxian, are all the yellow angels who followed Xu An into Taihang Mountain.

Guo Daxian was also a member of the Yellow Angel. When Xu An defeated Yang Feng in the south, it was Guo Daxian who made peace with the northern Taihang and made the bandits in the northern Taihang choose to join.

Guo Daxian, Zuo Miaozhangba, and Zuo Xiaobei's northern Taihang commanders, the three Yellow Turban Army commanders,
Zuo Xiao and Bai Rao, who was once under the drug camp, are the deputy captains of the camp.

Guo Daxian, now as a battalion officer, is in charge of a sharp soldier in the first battalion.

But Zuo Miaozhangba has already returned to Huang Tian...

After the tentative attack was repulsed by the Han army, Gong Du did not insist on attacking again. Instead, he stood still outside Guangcheng Pass, closed his camp and did not fight, guarding the defenders outside Guangcheng Pass, and then sent an urgent military order to attack Luoyang. Xu An reported.

The horse galloped fast, and in less than a day, the general's situation had already been delivered to Xu An's hands.

Along with the battle report from Guangcheng Pass, there was also the battle report from Xu Huang from Shenyuan Pass.

Xu An looked solemn, and put down the silk book in his hand.

Jia Xu also put down the bamboo slips in his hand at the right time.

"Guangcheng Pass and Zhiyuan Pass have already received reinforcements from the Han army. Suddenly, more than [-] soldiers appeared at Guangcheng Pass, and there were also [-] reinforcements at Zhiyuan Pass. It seems that they were forbidden troops from Chendu, Yuzhou."

Jia Xu frowned slightly and said.

"The main force of the Han army is in Dongjun County. The reinforcements recruited here should not be strong. General Gong and General Xu are both elite, so they should be able to conquer them?"

The ins and outs of the Han army were almost investigated by the Eagle Wolf Guards. Logically speaking, it is impossible to pass Guangcheng and Yuanyuan now, at least Guangcheng should be in his hands.

"Gong Du said in the letter that the Han general who rushed to help Guangcheng Pass seems to be called Gai Xun."

"Gai Xun?"

Jia Xu suddenly raised her head, a flash of light flashed in her eyes, and then a clear expression appeared on her face.

"If it's Gai Xun, then it's normal that Guangcheng Pass has not been captured."

The world commented on the end of the Han Dynasty, and collectively called Huangfusong, Zhu Jun, and Lu Zhi the three generals of the end of the Han Dynasty.

But in fact, apart from the three of them, there is another person who is actually worthy of the list, and this person is Gai Xun.

Although Gai Xun's achievements were not as good as Huangfusong and others, but if it wasn't for Gai Xun, Liangzhou would have already been out of control.

In the seventh year of Guanghe (184), Liangzhou Beigong Boyu, Li Wenhou and others rebelled.

Zuo Chang, the new governor of Liangzhou, took advantage of tens of millions of military expenses during the conscription to fill his private pockets. Gai Xun appealed to prevent Zuo Chang from being exposed. Zuo Chang felt resentful because of this, so he sent Gai Xun to lead the army to garrison Ayang County, Hanyang County, to face the rebels. edge.

Zuo Chang originally thought that Gai Xun would definitely lose the battle, and even if he did not die in battle, he could be executed by military law after returning, but Gai Xun led his trilogy and successfully defended Ayang County.

Tens of thousands of rebels under the command of Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou were defeated in Ayang County. In the end, it was really impossible to break through Ayang County, so they turned to attack Jincheng County.

Chen Yi, the prefect of Jincheng County, did not have the ability to Gai Xun, and Jincheng County was breached in an instant. Then Beigong Boyu and Li Wenhou coerced Bian Zhang and Han Sui into the gang, and they elected Bian Zhang as the leader.

During this period, Gai Xun asked Zuo Chang to send troops to rescue Jincheng County, but Zuo Chang refused.

Then Bian Zhang led his army to surround Ji County, Hanyang County, Liangzhou. Zuo Chang had no way to escape, panicked, and sent someone to Gai Xun for help.

Gai Xun had few soldiers, but he was still ordered to fight.

Gai Xun led the reinforcements to Ji County, and before the battle he reprimanded Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others for betraying the imperial court.

Gai Xun's prestige in Liangzhou was extremely high, and Bian Zhang, Han Sui, Li Wenhou, Bei Gong Boyu and others all respected Gai Xun very much.

When Bian Zhang and Han Sui saw Gai Xun, they couldn't help covering their faces and weeping. They said sadly, "If Mr. Zuo Shi had followed his words and came to me with soldiers, he would be able to correct himself. The crime is too serious now, and he must not be surrendered." .”

Bian Zhang and Han Sui also lifted the siege of Ji County because of Gai Xun, and led the trilogy to withdraw from Hanyang County.

Later, Xia Yu, the captain of the Qiang guard, was surrounded by the Qiang rebels in Youfufeng. The animal officer trusted Liangzhou governor Yang Yong to send Gai Xun to lead his troops to the rescue. Gai Xun led his army to Hupan and encountered heavy forces from the Qiang rebels intercept.

Although Gai Xun was brave, he was helplessly outnumbered, and the soldiers under his command suffered heavy casualties, with only a hundred or so left.

The Liangzhou rebels' persuasion to surrender was also directly rejected by Gai Xun. Gai Xun gathered the remaining more than [-] soldiers and formed a Yuli formation for the final resistance.

Seeing that Gai Xun had not surrendered, the Qiang Jingqi charged again.

Gai Xun was wounded three times, but he still stood still, pointing to a tree beside him and said to the guards beside him, "I will die here."

In the sentence, Dianwu, the leader of the Qiang tribe, has always been treated favorably by Gai Xun. He stopped the Qiang soldiers who wanted to go forward with weapons and said: "Gai Changshi is a wise man. If you kill him, you will definitely be punished by heaven."

Gai Xun raised his head and cursed: "Death is against captives, how do you know? Hurry up and kill me!"

Dianwu dismounted himself, and put Yu Gaixun on the horse.

But Gai Xun refused, and finally had to, the Qiang rebels tied Gai Xun up.

Everyone in the Qiang Rong admired Gai Xun's bravery and did not harm Gai Xun, so they sent someone to send him back to Hanyang County.

Jia Xu narrowed her eyes and looked at Xu An.

"Gai Xun, Huangfusong, Wang Yun and others led the army to flee Chang'an."

"Now that Gai Xun has arrived at Guangcheng Pass, since Nanting conscripted Gai Xun, there is no reason not to conscript Huangfu Song. I am afraid that most of the Southern Army at Zhiyuan Pass is Huangfu Song."

"It's difficult..."

Jia Xu frowned slightly, and things were getting tricky.

Both Huangfusong and Gai Xun were from Liangzhou, he had lived in Liangzhou for a long time, and had seen Huangfusong and Gai Xun before.

Both Huangfusong and Gai Xun are not easy people, one is good at attacking and the other is good at defending.

Gai Xun is still good at defending the city, Guangcheng Pass has Gai Xun, even if there is a counterweight catapult, but Jia Xu knows that Guangcheng Pass is already solid.

At least the two battalions of sharp men led by Gong Du and the cavalry of Wuxiang Battalion had no chance of capturing Guangcheng.

Huangfu Song used his troops as slowly as a forest, like a forest slowly unfolding, seamlessly stitched together, almost without any flaws.

Compared to Gai Xun, Huangfusong is better at attacking.

Huangfu Song attacked with troops, and his offensive was like a tide, one wave after another, almost without a break. The soldiers of the first attack had just retreated, and the soldiers of the second attack rushed up again. The enemy could not win much. time to breathe.

In the next battle of Quyang, although Zhang Bao commanded an army of [-], he was helpless in the face of Huangfusong. In the end, the [-]th army collapsed under Huangfusong's continuous offensive.

The millions of yellow scarves in Jizhou vanished.

Attacking fortifications is easy to destroy, destroying the enemy more than Tang Xue, sweeping the seven states, slaughtering thirty-six directions, the division of the barbarians and yellow scarves.

Xu An's face was also solemn.

After many years, the name Huangfusong reappeared in his ears and in front of his eyes.

Guangzong...

Next Quyang...

Xu An slowly closed his eyes.

……

"Wan Sheng!!!"

There was a hoarse cry.

"kill!!"

There was a terrifying cry of killing.

The darkness in Guangzong City was broken by one torch after another.

A raging fire ignited in the southern area of ​​Guangzong City, and the orange torches shone on the fiery red banners, making them extraordinarily bewitching.

"Follow me!"

Xu An tightly held the Huan Shou Dao in his hand, half of his body was stained red with blood.

However, the owner of the blood did not belong to him, but a Han army holding a spear and trying to kill him.

Xu An didn't have time to look back, and he didn't have the thought of turning back.

There was even more shouting and killing behind them. The southeast, northwest, and four sides seemed to be occupied by the Han army, and the Han army seemed to have surrounded them heavily.

"I can't die...I can't die..."

Xu An gripped the steel knife tightly, his heart was icy cold.

The fear of death almost swallowed him, the endless darkness, the eternal silence, it was really suffocating.

He wanted to live, he really wanted to live, to live.

He eats food that is difficult to swallow, eats food that is not acceptable to ordinary people, eats food that cannot even be eaten...

When Lu Zhi surrounded them in Guangzong, Xu An even ate the bark in his stomach...

On the battlefield, he beheaded one enemy after another, desperately surviving.

But death never left.

The stench of blood filled his nostrils.

……

Blood dripped in front of Xu An's eyes along the brim of the helmet with the yellow scarf tied on.

Looking around, one after another soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who were covered in blood were sitting paralyzed around.

Their eyes all lost their spirit and light...

No matter how difficult it is, no matter how desperate they are, their eyes are shining with light and their desire for life.

But now, everyone's eyes have lost that light.

Xu An knew exactly when the light in their eyes disappeared. That night, the entire city of Guangzong was covered with hemp.

The great and virtuous teacher who led them forward has been crushed by the disease.

Zhang Jiao saved countless lives and healed the wounded throughout his life, but when he was seriously ill, he couldn't save himself.

The sky is dead, and Huang Tian should stand, but it's just a joke.

……

"I can't wait to find a way out."

"It is said that God's grace is mighty, but we kneel down and beg for our lives, but there is no way to survive, why!"

……

"Rescue the great virtuous teacher!"

Facing the rain of arrows like a swarm of locusts, countless soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army followed Xu An forward.

"Wan Sheng!!!"

The rain of arrows from the Han army continued wave after wave, and the Yellow Turban Army fell one after another on the way to charge, but no one stopped, and no one retreated.

"He Yi, the commander of the Taiping Daoqu in Yingchuan, came to ask your Excellency your martial arts."

Facing Sun Jian, He Yi did not hesitate. When everyone was hesitating, he stood up and stood up to die.

……

"Both the inside and the outside, the eight states concurrently, as real as the illusion, confusing and confusing, bustling, but a dream of Huaxu..."

……

Jia Xu, who was sitting by the side, was slightly shocked, and he was sitting less than three steps away from Xu An.

He was very close to Xu An, so close that he could clearly feel the changes in Xu An.

Xu An slowly opened his eyes, his tone was unquestionable, and he did not conceal the fierce killing intent on his body.

"Order the whole army, and the soldiers will enter Shenyuan."

In the military tent, a group of generals of the Yellow Turban Army suddenly agreed.

With the clatter of armor leaves and the sound of drums and horns, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army, which had been silent for less than a few days, became noisy again!

　Gai Xun's position is nothing more than a long history, and he can only look far and harmoniously, and is admired by the world; Bian Zhang has joined the bandit party and avoided it;If the thief Yidi is like this to an admirer of the sage, why bother to indulge in evil in life, and lose his reputation, willing to leave a bad reputation for thousands of years?
