The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 657 Advance!

"Xuyuan Mountain, the mountain road is dangerous and difficult, with twelve twists and turns, and it is about to return, so it is called: Shenyuan.

On the Yuanyuan pass, Huangfusong leaned on the dilapidated pass building overlooking the camp of the Yellow Turban Army outside the pass.

If it was another checkpoint, then Huangfusong wouldn't be able to defend it with half the confidence, but now he was guarding the Shuyuan Pass, and the special terrain of the Shuyuan Pass limited the Yellow Turban Army's advantage to the greatest extent.

The sky is twilight, the rooster crows, and there is a ray of light among the mountains in the distance. The sky will light up soon, and the darkness covering the earth will soon be completely dispelled by the light. You can only hide in the The dark place under the wall.

The sun is high above, and any darkness under its light has nothing to hide and will be assimilated by it.

Huangfusong's face was serious, everything was going according to the plan, but Huangfusong's heart was still extremely heavy.

After ten rounds with one force, the current Yellow Turban Army under the leadership of Xu An is like a fighter in his prime.

There were [-] troops, including more than [-] elite infantry and [-] elite cavalry.

The cavalry army is not very useful in siege warfare, but it is these fifteen thousand cavalry that the Han army can only be restrained and bound tightly in the Yuanguan Pass.

Whether it is going out of the city for a field battle or a night attack, there is no way to succeed, let alone sending troops out of the customs to fight back.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army is the best in the world, whether it is the sudden cavalry of Youzhou, the bow cavalry of Bingzhou, or the iron cavalry of Xiliang, they are all defeated by them.

Huangfusong clearly knew the difference in combat power between the cavalry equipped with new harnesses and the previous cavalry.

Tactics such as going out to counterattack and night attack are impossible.

Currently, there are only two thousand cavalry under Huangfusong's command.

The pawns were the [-] defenders of Yangcheng, Yuzhou, in addition to the more than [-] defenders in Yuyuan Pass.

The [-] city defense troops in Chen Du were all brought out by Huangfusong, of the [-] forbidden troops, only [-] were left, and there were [-] county soldiers recruited from various counties.

The three add up to more than [-] people.

In addition to the [-] people, Huangfusong also recruited [-] county soldiers in Yingchuan County through an edict.

However, these people were said to be county soldiers, but they were actually soldiers, generals, and clan members of various families in Yingchuan County.

After adopting Liu Yan's opinion, Liu Hong, the Ling Emperor of the Han Dynasty, changed the prefectural herdsmen and allowed himself to recruit troops. Later, the Yellow Turbans of the four prefectures merged and the Central Plains was in turmoil.

During the Battle of Jizhou, Lu Zhi controlled nearly [-] troops, many of which were actually part of the village bravery.

The strength of these township warriors may not be as good as the regular trilogy, but they are well fed, warmly dressed, and have strength. Compared with the ordinary Yellow Turban soldiers who rose up, they are much more powerful.

Among the aristocratic families, there are many people who are proficient in the art of war and the art of military training. These village warriors practice military formations and learn the tactics of warfare. In fact, some excellent village warriors are even more rigorous than the training of county soldiers.

In a turbulent world, human life is as poor as worthless, they must have a strong enough armed force to protect their family, so that their family will not become another victim of this troubled world.

In troubled times, winds and clouds are everywhere, and there are soldiers who are the grass head kings.

This principle is not too profound.

In troubled times, only the weapons in hand, the armor on the body, and absolute force can play a decisive role!
article?

No matter how beautiful the article is, it is difficult to defeat weapons in troubled times.

There are more than tens of thousands of splendid articles hidden in the Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty, but those splendid articles, the magnificent epics, can be burned with only one fire.

Outside the Yuanyuan Pass, the camp of the Yellow Turban Army was already busy.

The banners fluttered in the gust of wind, and a large number of cavalry galloped on the left and right wings of the Yellow Turban Army formation to protect the two wings of the infantry.

A line of refusal horses stood in front of the Yellow Turban Army's formation. Although the Yellow Turban Army knew that the Han Army lacked cavalry and had no chance to go out of the city to fight back, they still made the preparations they should do, as meticulously as finely crafted puppets. The program is moving one by one.

"call out----"

The whistle outside the pass is still so piercing.

Huangfusong narrowed his eyes slightly, he really disliked the sharp whistle, the whistle pierced into his ears like a signal for death, making people extremely uncomfortable.

Outside the Yuan Pass, tall catapults were slowly pushed out of the camp one after another.

Those huge monsters were dragged forward by the horses and soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

Huangfusong's breathing became slightly heavy. Those war weapons called "counterweight catapults" among the Yellow Turban Army were simply unimaginable.

The distance of the stone projectile is actually more than a hundred steps, and it can be turned freely, and can be moved at will, without requiring a lot of manpower to operate.

There are also stone catapults on Shenyuan Pass, which are fixed on the wall of the pass. It takes a large number of soldiers to drag and pull the stone catapults with the help of strength, and shoot stone bullets outside the pass. The range is even less than that of the yellow turban soldiers two thirds.

Huangfusong frowned, staring at the "Thunderbolt Chariot" that was driving slowly outside the Yuanguan Pass.

A large number of cavalry surrounded the Thunderbolt convoy, guarding the Thunderbolt vehicle.

If the Han army wants to send elite troops to destroy the thunderbolt chariots in the Yellow Turban Army, they must first break through the encirclement net composed of more than [-] cavalry troops, and then face several heavily armed Yellow Turban Army soldiers. .

"call out------"

Outside the Yuanyuan Pass, a second whistle sounded.

The second whistle is longer and harsher than the first whistle.

"The Yellow Turban Army will launch an attack soon. General, please leave the wall temporarily. Soon the Yellow Turban Army's stone throwing machine will throw stone bullets at the wall."

Liang Yan took a step forward and reminded.

The Guanlou of Shenyuanguan was already dilapidated and destroyed by the artillery bombardment of the Yellow Turban Army.

Huangfusong didn't leave, and Liang Yan's words didn't seem to be heard by him.

Huangfusong stretched out his hand and put it on a broken railing beside him.

His thoughts were a little distracted, and the huge catapult made him tremble with fear.

The new-style harness, and the catapult that can move freely and turn in quickly without much manpower made him feel dangerous.

Cities are useless, passes are useless, and the only thing that is useful is the terrain.

ultimately beneficiary of...

It seems to be the barbarian from the north.

There is no way to control the hometown of Xianbei and the Huns.

On the grassland, it cannot be cultivated, and there are many Hu people, it is difficult to establish counties and counties, and it is difficult to manage.

The barbarians in the North land one crop after another, it seems that they will never perish.

After leaving the Huns, there is still Lou Fan, and after leaving Lou Fan, there is Donghu.

When they all went to decline, Xianbei once again rose from the old places of the Xiongnu, Loufan and other tribes.

Just when Huangfusong was lost in thought, outside the Yuanyuan Pass, the catapult cart of the Yellow Turban Army had stopped, and beside the catapult machine, countless soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army were busy.

"General, please leave the wall immediately."

Liang Yan took another step forward and spoke more emphatically.

Xu An arrived at Zhiyuan Pass yesterday. In today's wave of attacks, the Yellow Turban Army launched more catapults and used a large number of infantry. It was definitely not a bluff.

The Yellow Turban Army's attack this time must be like a stormy sea.

Liang Yan has followed Huangfusong in battle for many years, he can see the spirit of an army, and he can also see the psychological activities of the enemy commander from some subtle changes.

Now the Yellow Turban Army is like a boxer full of anger who has just stepped onto the ring, and the first punch he swings must be the sharpest punch,
Now Xu An is suppressing his anger...

……

Outside the Yuanguan Pass.

Xu An led the horse under his seat forward slowly, and reached the top of a mound.

Shenyuan Pass is one of the Eight Passes in Luoyang. It is located on the Shenyuan Mountain at the junction of Yanshi, Dengfeng and Gongyi. It is the shortcut from Luoyang to Xu and Chen.

The pass is at Eling Ban, between Taishi Mountain and Shaoshi Mountain. The road is dangerous and narrow, with twelve bends and circles.

The terrain of Shenyuanguan is not easy to attack even if the Yellow Turban Army has war weapons such as counterweight catapults.

Since ancient times, the defenders in siege battles can rely on the city walls and favorable terrain. Sophisticated defense equipment has a large number of advantages, so that they can resist the far greater number of troops with inferior troops.

The topography of Shenyuan Pass has been inspected by the Eagle Wolf Guard, and Xu An has already understood the general topography.

Yuanyuanguan simply cannot allow the attacker to launch a large-scale attack.

The mountain path at Shenyuanguan is rugged, only allowing pedestrians to ride scales and stones, and Moji and horses to gallop.

During the period of the Republic of China, migrant workers were recruited from the north of the Yellow River to expand the Elingkou section.

Due to the high mountains and dangerous roads, the construction was difficult, and there were many casualties among migrant workers.After the expansion, the road surface is still rough and rugged due to more rocks and less soil, forming eighteen bends and circling up and down, which was later called "Eighteen Turns".

On the Zhiyuan Pass, the mountain is majestic and dangerous, the rock walls are jagged like swords, and there are twists and turns along the road. Go early and swim in the fog".

The road is steep and narrow, and the green screen is on the top.

High peaks often obstruct the sun, and dense trees do not open the sky.

The wind quickly destroys the leaves, and the clouds are locked in a narrow lock.

Going early depends on the view, misty and white clouds.

As the Yuan Pass was closed, the fiery red flags of the Han army were unfurled in front of Xu An.

Among the fiery red flags, there was one that was extraordinarily tall.

That's Huangfusong's big flag!
The banner that Xu An will never forget, the thing that will never be forgotten.

The color on that big flag is not fiery red, but bright red.

The big flag is a flag stained with blood.

It is Guangzong City, it is Xia Quyang, it is the whole of Jizhou, the whole world, the banners and banners that were infected by the blood of millions of slaughtered Yellow Turban soldiers.

"call out------"

The third whistle sounded from behind Xu An, and Xu Hong blew the bamboo whistle hanging on his chest.

"put!"

At the same moment when the whistle sounded, on the side of the mound where Xu An was standing, the leader of the catapult convoy waved down the blue flag viciously.

Those earth hills are earth platforms built by soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army bit by bit with mud, in order to provide a platform for catapults to attack.

Twenty huge counterweight catapults suddenly let out their roars, and twenty stone bombs pierced the low sky, roaring towards the Yuanguan Pass hidden among the mountains, forests and trees in the distance.

……

The whole morning, the catapults of the Yellow Turban Army were bombarding Yuanguan Pass crazily. The narrow terrain made it impossible for the Yellow Turban Army to invest in more catapults, but twenty catapults were enough.

The catapults of the Yellow Turban Army were replaced in three or four batches, and the soldiers in charge of manipulating the catapults were also replaced in three or five batches.

At this time, the Yuanguan Pass has been shrouded in thick smoke and dust. Regardless of the repetition, the walls of the Yuanguan Pass have begun to disintegrate and collapse. Down to nothing.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The high-pitched sound of Huang Tian's battle drum came from the center of the Yellow Turban Army.

"The first wave of attacks will be mainly attacked by the first military battalion, and the trapped camp will be responsible for responding."

Xu An's face was solemn, he gave the order directly without hesitation.

The messenger in charge of delivering the orders saluted Xu An with his head held high, and then he pulled the reins and walked away.

Soon, there was a loud noise from the formation of the Yellow Turban Army, countless banners were unfurled, and they moved forward slowly.

One after another, tall wells loaded with archers followed the formation of the Yellow Turban Army's military camp and advanced steadily. The wall of the Yuanguan Pass is not long, and the place that can accommodate the passage is terribly narrow, and the siege ladder is not at all There was no way to push forward.

The soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army could only hide their bodies behind the heavy shield chariots, and attack towards Zhiyuan Pass with barbed wooden ladders on their shoulders.

"The catapult raises its head a little bit, don't stop throwing stones, and cover our infantry advancing."

Xu An's face was solemn, he did not stop the catapult convoy from attacking as Xu Huang had commanded before.

"The stones are thrown non-stop, the Han army should not leave anyone on the city wall, and charge up with the stone bullets!"

It was not a matter of Xu Huang attacking Zhiyuan before. Every time he bombarded with catapults, and then sent infantry to attack.

The Han army is used to this rhythm, and the information sent just yesterday also confirmed the movement of the Han army when Xu An watched Xu Huang command the siege.

Every time the Han army threw stone bullets from the catapults of the Yellow Turban Army, they would hide under the inner walls of the city walls and in the caves where soldiers were hidden, and would not leave anyone behind on the wall.

Although allowing the catapult convoy to continue the bombardment may cause the attacking infantry to be accidentally injured, it can surprise a Han army.

Xu An tightly held the binoculars in his hand, looking at Yuanyuan Pass in the distance.

One sharp whistle after another, and the low horn sound after another resounded in Xu An's ears.

Under the lens, hundreds of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army wearing iron armor and holding knives and guns are climbing towards the high Zhiyuan Pass with their heads up and shields in hand.

Stone bullets whizzed past his head, and one of the stone bullets had a terribly short flight path. In the camera, it almost passed over the heads of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

The stone bullet finally slammed into the wall of Yuanyuan Pass, but it was not known whether it was a problem of strength or angle, and the stone bullet was bounced away.

The huge stone bomb fell to the ground and rolled down the mountain under the action of gravity.

The stone bullets rolled down, and the originally neat military formation of the Yellow Turban Army became a little chaotic because of this sudden change.

"Stop shooting!"

Xu An put down the binoculars in his hand, and ordered in a cold voice.

On the mounds on both sides, the twenty catapult vehicles stopped their excitatory movements almost instantly.

After all, the accuracy of the catapult is too poor. The advanced concept of infantry coordination is not suitable for the coordination of the catapult and infantry when the weapon is cold.

No, it is actually enough to win these time.

The No. [-] Soldiers Battalion of the Yellow Turban Army had arrived at a place quite close to the wall of the Yuanguan Pass under the cover of a catapult.

Under the Yuanyuan Pass, a Fu Zhu jumped out of the army formation, he held up the Yanling Saber in his hand, and roared angrily.

"Comrades, for the sake of Huang Tian's world, move forward!!!"
