The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 701
In the north of Chengdu, a puff of smoke rose slowly.

"It seems that Feng has succeeded first."

The big stone in Xu An's heart settled down, he clenched the rein in his hand, and his frown was finally relaxed.

Behind him, two generals Ma Chao and Pound guarded him, and a group of well-dressed cavalry guards accompanied him on both sides.

"Wan Sheng!"

Seeing the rising smoke, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who followed Xu An could no longer suppress their emotions, they all raised their weapons high and cheered.

Cheers like a mountain roar and a tsunami rolled from various military formations, bursting out from the throats of hundreds of soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army.

It took nearly two months for them to pass the Yinping Road that everyone thought was impossible to march, crossed the mountains, and experienced countless difficulties and obstacles along the way.

After the [-] troops passed through Yinping Road, there were only more than [-] people left, and more than [-] soldiers were left in Yinping Road forever.

Even though the eagle wolf guards have investigated the specific situation of Yinping Road many times, even though Xu An has done a lot of preparations to pass through Yinping.

Wrapped in felt, pushed down, Xu An prepared a lot of felt and ropes in order to climb Motian Ridge, the most difficult and dangerous place in Yinping Road, but even so, many soldiers still fell off the cliff and died.

In the uninhabited land of more than [-] miles, the spring and summer seasons are the time when snakes, insects, rats and ants are most active.

It was Xu An who had arranged measures to guard against snakes, insects, rats and ants in advance, but the bites of mosquitoes and ants and the harassment of snakes and insects were inevitable along the way, and many soldiers were accidentally attacked.

There is no need to worry too much about snakes, insects, rats and ants when camping, but it is difficult to protect them during the march.

There are actually no roads in many places, and the roads are forcibly opened in the valleys and forests entirely by guides and surveying and mapping based on astrology and other aspects.

At this time in the Shu land, many places were sparsely populated, and the Yinping Ancient Road was even rarer. There were not many traces of human existence here. There were many ferocious beasts in the mountains and forests, and wolves, tigers and leopards often appeared.

Many soldiers were wounded and killed by wolves, tigers and leopards, but those wolves, tigers and leopards were quite afraid of the large number of soldiers when they saw such soldiers. one

Except for ferocious beasts such as wolves, tigers and leopards, as well as animals such as snakes, insects, rats and ants, the harsh natural environment of the virgin forest is actually the biggest threat to the Yellow Turban Army.

In the land of Bashu, the primeval forest has not seen the sun for a long time, and countless miasmas have been bred.

Xu An strictly ordered all soldiers to drink and eat cooked, although it was effective.

However, several consecutive heavy rains caused many soldiers to contract the wind and cold, and some even suffered from serious diseases.

Rao Xu An brought a lot of medicinal materials this time, and also brought some outstanding students from the medical school, even Hua Tuo's apprentice Fan A was among them, but there was still no way to treat all of them.

Xu An led [-] people into the Yinping Ancient Road at the beginning, but in the end more than [-] people were lost. Only [-] people followed Xu An out of the Yinping Ancient Road and arrived at Jiangyou.

One tenth of the people were left in the Yinping Ancient Trail forever, and even due to time constraints, they only had time to bury them in a hurry, or cremated them, and then continued on their way. They didn't even leave the tombstones, but only took away the certificates. Wooden plaques bearing their identities.

Paoze's casualties did not demoralize the rest of the Yellow Turban soldiers, but instead aroused their anger and their fighting spirit.

Xu An led the remaining [-] people in Jiangyou to briefly repair it, and then easily captured the unsuspecting Deyang Pavilion east of Jiangyou.

At this time, it was the most intense time for the Battle of Chengdu.

The Yizhou army is on the offensive, and Dongzhou soldiers are already in decline. Liu Yan ordered Pangyi to guard Zitong and Baishui at all costs to weaken the power of the aristocratic families in the northern part of Guanghan County, and led his soldiers and forced recruits to help defend Chengdu.

The defense force in the northern part of Guanghan County was at its emptiest, so Xu An did not hesitate. After a simple repair, he led his trilogy into the Zuozhan Road, all the way south, marching towards Fucheng.

Zuo Zhan Dao originally had [-] defenders in three towns. After all, this is an extremely important arterial road, but due to Pang Yi's reasons, only one town was left with soldiers from the three towns.

And the defenders of this town were already lax because they were in the hinterland. When they saw the Yellow Turban army suddenly appearing in front of them, they put down all their weapons and chose to surrender without even resisting.

The marching ranks of the Yellow Turban Army filled the entire road, and the banner almost covered the sky and the sun, just looking at it made one's heart tremble, there were only more than five hundred of them in total, how could they resist.

In this way, Xu An led the Yellow Turban Army all the way unimpeded, passed Zuozhan Road, and approached Fucheng, the northern gateway of Mianzhu.

The three cities of Fucheng, Mianzhu, and Chengdu are connected in a line, and Mianzhu is sandwiched between Fucheng and Chengdu. If you want to attack Mianzhu, then the two cities of Fucheng and Chengdu cannot be bypassed.

The Yellow Turban Army did not carry any siege equipment. Originally, Xu An heard that there were few soldiers in Fucheng, so he wanted to take the risk of sending an army to station outside Fucheng to guard against the defenders of Fucheng, and led his own army to Chengdu.

But unexpectedly, the guards of Fucheng saw a large number of Yellow Turbans outside the city, thinking that after Pang Xi was transferred to Chengdu by Liu Yan, the Yizhou Yellow Turbans entrenched in Guanghan and Anhan killed the city. The envoy expressed his willingness to sacrifice the city, only to be forgiven and spare his life.

Being able to occupy Fucheng was something Xu An wished for. Along the way, the food and grass they brought was almost exhausted. When passing through Ting Township along the road, Xu An had no choice but to requisition most of the food for military use.

However, Xu An did not plunder like the general army. Considering the situation, Xu An ordered the soldiers to bring some copper coins in advance, and supplied them to the people in Ting Township according to the normal grain price. Signed an IOU.

After all, when the war broke out, the price of rice and other goods would inevitably rise, and the copper money paid according to the normal grain price would definitely not be enough for the common people to buy the same amount of grain again.

The county magistrate of Fucheng offered the city on his own initiative, and the food and grass stored in Fucheng became a timely rain, which solved the food and grass crisis of the Yellow Turban Army.

Fucheng's voluntary surrender also prevented the news from being revealed.

Xu An led his troops to continue marching towards the southwest, and soon arrived at Mianzhu City. At the same time, he also received information that the Yizhou Army had the upper hand in the Battle of Chengdu.

Mianzhu City is the capital of Yizhou and the home base of Dongzhou people.

Although most of the soldiers were conscripted by Liu Yan and brought to Chengdu, there were less than two thousand defenders in Mianzhu City.

However, Mianzhu did not choose to surrender like Fucheng. The Dongzhou soldiers initiated the suppression for several years, and the Dongzhou soldiers guarding the city naturally did not think that the Yellow Turbans would let them go easily.

So while passing the news to Chengdu, they organized the defense intensively.

But this time, Xu An is no longer without any siege equipment. In a mountain arsenal in Fucheng, Liu Yan has prepared a lot of siege equipment. Xu An believes that there is a high probability that these siege equipment will be used It will be used to attack Hanzhong after coming here.

However, these siege equipment did not wait until Liu Yan's Northern Expedition to use, but waited until Xu An's Southern Expedition.

I have to say that it is a bit ironic that the siege equipment built by Liu Yan himself eventually became a tool for burying him.

More than [-] Dongzhou soldiers had no way to defend the multiple walls. In less than a day, the Yellow Turban Army climbed to the top of Mianzhu City.

Mianzhu City was captured, tens of thousands of Dongzhou soldiers' families were all captured by the Yellow Turban Army, and Liu Yan's four sons, Liu Fan, Liu Dan, Liu Mao, and Liu Zhang were also captured.

Liu Fan and Liu Dan died in the turmoil in Guanzhong in the fourth year of Chuping (193) in the original time and space.

But because of the butterfly effect, Dong Zhuo was not killed by Lu Bu, and Li Jue and Guo Si naturally had no chance to attack each other.

Of the entire Dong Zhuo Group, only Xu Rong, Fan Chou, and Duan Yan were the only generals who survived, and the rest of the generals died in battle.

When Xu An attacked Guanzhong, Wang Yun, Gai Xun, and Huangfusong took the opportunity to rescue Liu Bian and led all the officials to go south. Liu Fan and Liu Dan seized the opportunity. They did not follow Huangfusong and others to go south to Wuguan. Withdrew to the hinterland of Nanting, but sneaked all the way into Yizhou.

Once Mianzhu is conquered, there will be no barriers to the road to Chengdu.

And those messengers who were sent to pass on the military information were all intercepted and killed by the Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard without exception.

The Eagle Wolf Guards entered Yizhou for many years and not only sent a large number of military instructors to help the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army train the army, but also recruited a lot of armed forces in various places.

Strictly speaking, these Tiqi of the Eagle Wolf Guard are not real Eagle Wolf Guards, but knights from the six gates of the organization under the Eagle Wolf Guard that manages knights.

These chivalrous warriors are good at martial arts. Although fighting in battle formations is quite inferior, if they fight alone, fighting in complex terrain is their specialty.

After the surrender of Fucheng, Xu An immediately ordered the Eagle Wolf Guards accompanying the army to contact the Six Gates near Mianzhu. After all, Mianzhu is Liu Yan's headquarters, and the surrender of Fucheng was an accident. Reach Chengdu later, so as to buy more time.

As a matter of fact, this operation by the Six Doors was also perfectly completed. The seven couriers who were sent to report the news were all intercepted and killed. Those couriers never expected that someone would come to intercept and kill them.

After capturing Mianzhu, Xu An just let his subordinates repair for a long time before continuing to go south.

The Yizhou Army has the upper hand, Chengdu City may be breached at any time, and the Yellow Turban Army must race against the clock.

All the way in a hurry, Liu Yan and his generals never thought about any problems in the stable rear. Coupled with the rapid offensive of the Yizhou Army, they did not leave any scouts in the north.

This time through the Yinping Road, Xu An barely took more than [-] war horses, of which more than [-] war horses died during the march.

However, both Mianzhu and Fucheng had a large number of war horses. Although these war horses were not as tall and powerful as those in the Northland, they were good at moving between mountains and forests and had strong endurance.

This time Xu An brought a considerable part of the trilogy to be able to ride horses, so Xu An formed a new cavalry team of [-] men as the pioneers, and let the disciples of the six doors join in as scouts.

So all the way, when Xu An led the army to the north of Chengdu City, neither the defenders in Chengdu nor the Yizhou Army received the news of the arrival of the Yellow Turban Army.

Xu An naturally wouldn't give up this advantage if he didn't scare the snake away.

This time, the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army who followed Xu An were all the elites of the Yellow Turban Army. They basically all had experience in fighting in mountainous areas. They have been on the Yinping Road for such a long time, so they are familiar with the road in the forest.

Xu An divided the trilogy under his command into four, let Lu Bu lead the newly formed [-] cavalry army to ambush in the forest outside the northern city, and allocated more than [-] soldiers to his first battalion to support in the rear, waiting for the opportunity to capture Chengdu North City.

Once the Yizhou soldiers invaded the city, a large number of defeated soldiers would definitely escape from the north gate, and this time is the best time to capture the north city.

Let Yan Liang and Wen Chou each lead an army of more than [-] men each, and lay in ambush on both sides of the northeast of Chengdu City, and allocated more than [-] cavalry to each of them.

Xu An personally led the remaining [-] people to fight out from the south, east, and west sides of Chengdu City at the same time.

This time they smuggled into Yinping, apart from felts and ropes, the Yellow Turbans carried the most banners.

Husband war, courage also.

The reason for carrying a large number of military flags is to make the other party think that the Yellow Turban soldiers are many and powerful, so that they will feel fear.

And Xu An's goal was indeed achieved. Whether it was Ren Xian or the others, they thought that the main force of the more than [-] Yellow Turbans in Yizhou had rushed outside the city of Chengdu.

Xu An's purpose is to force Ren Xian into Chengdu.

Now the cavalry army under Xu An's command is less than [-] cavalry in total, even if they defeat the army under Ren Xian's command, it will be difficult to wipe them all out.

When Ma Xiang was defeated, Jia Long and Ren Qi had quite a few cavalry troops, but Zhao Zhi and other yellow scarf soldiers fled into the forest.

The terrain of Yizhou and the lack of cavalry make it easy to defeat the battle in Yizhou, but difficult to wipe it out.

It's just a defeat, Ren Xian can retreat to the three southern counties, and then plot slowly.

When Liu Biao received the news that the main force of the Yellow Turban Army was in Yizhou, he could free up his hands and dispatch some troops from Nanyang County and other counties to support Yizhou. After that, the Han court would definitely not sit still.

Yizhou is extremely important to Taiping Road, and it is also extremely important to Hanting. If Yizhou is occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, then Jingzhou will be in danger, and they will have to allocate more troops to guard against Yizhou.

Xu An has been waiting outside the city for the Yizhou Army and Dongzhou Army to decide.

And on June 193th in the fourth year of Chuping ([-]), the mound was built. Gan Ning led the sharp men to climb the city wall in one fell swoop, beheaded Deng Xian and Leng Bao, and defeated a group of Dongzhou soldiers on the city wall in one fell swoop. The psychological defense line also wiped out the last hope in Liu Yan's heart.

And all of this was clearly seen by Xu An with a binoculars, and Xu An immediately gave the order to march towards Chengdu.

The signal to attack quickly reached the hands of Lu Bu, Yan Liang, and Wen Chou.

As a result, the Yellow Turban Army appeared on all sides of Chengdu City almost at the same time.

Xu An led the horse, and issued military orders frequently as he moved forward.

The Yizhou army invaded Chengdu, but left a large number of siege equipment outside the city, and these siege equipment can be used by them.

When Ren Xian entered the city, the former camp of the Yizhou Army in the south of Chengdu was also on fire at this moment.

Xu An just took a look and then turned his head again. It was the signal he sent to attack the troops to make meritorious deeds. Now his only worry has been resolved, and he can now focus all his energy on the city of Chengdu.

The Yizhou army has become a turtle in a urn, like a fish swimming in a cauldron, gasping for a moment!
　I am working on the territory map, and after the battle of Yizhou is over, I will send it to the easter egg chapter and book review area at the end of the chapter
