The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 703 Dongzhou Soldiers

In the city of Chengdu, it was bleak.

The fire has subsided, and they have been extinguished by the Yizhou Army and Dongzhou Army who entered the city.

The soldiers of Yizhou were exhausted, and the soldiers of Dongzhou were not iron men. They were also mortals. With their blood and courage, they persisted in the daytime, but at night, the fighting during the day made their bodies weak. Exhausted.

According to the normal trend, the Yizhou army should light the torches at this time, and fight at night to wipe out all these Dongzhou soldiers, without giving the Dongzhou soldiers any respite.

But now everything has changed, and the Yizhou Army is no longer the victor on the battlefield.

In the fierce battle at dusk, the Yellow Turban Army took advantage of the unstable foothold of the Yizhou Army and suddenly launched an attack. When the night fell completely, the Yellow Turban Army had already occupied the four walls of Chengdu City and controlled all the city gates.

The left army of the Yizhou army captured the west city. Because of Ren Xian's military order, Zhang Ren led the soldiers to the north city in order to regain the north city, but was beheaded by Lu Bu.

The first north gate captured by Zhang Ren was naturally also captured by the Yellow Turban Army. After Lu Bu captured the two gates of the North City, he did not stop attacking.

After Lu Bu led his troops into the northern city, he did not attack the Dongzhou soldiers in the northern city. He just guarded the city gate to guard against the Dongzhou soldiers in the city, and then quickly sent troops to help the east and west cities.

Wei Yue and Cheng Lian each brought more than [-] people and killed themselves along the city wall toward the east and west.

Wei Yue led the soldiers under his command all the way to the west city. He cut off Zhang Ren's head and let someone pick it up with a long spear.

Soon the news of Zhang Ren's death spread quickly throughout the left army of the Yizhou Army, and the left army of the Yizhou Army inevitably fell into a panic.

Zhang Ren is their chief general, he is quite famous in the army, not much less famous than Gan Ning, but now they have seen Zhang Ren's head with their own eyes, how can their morale not drop?

Under the attack from both sides, the left army of the Yizhou army was defeated for thousands of miles. Zhang Ren's deputy general just issued an order to withdraw the troops in a hurry, and then fled the tower of the East City along the horse road with his personal guards. The left army of the Yizhou army Almost defeated, Yan Liang took control of the entire outer wall of the East City with the help of Wei Yue without expending much energy.

On the other hand, although Ren Xie, the leader of the Right Army of the Yizhou Army, was also personally leading the guards, he was not as brave as Zhang Ren. Although he had repeatedly launched attacks, he still had no way to defeat the Dongzhou soldiers and successfully arrived in Beicheng.

And at this moment, the Yellow Turban Army outside Dongcheng seemed to have received the signal and began to attack Dongcheng.

Ren Xie didn't have time to think about it, and immediately turned back to Dongcheng, commanding the generals under his command to fight back.

Compared with completely losing control of the West City, the situation in the East City is much better.

Under the command of Ren Xie, the attack of the Yellow Turban Army led by Wen Chou was frustrated, and the Dongzhou soldiers who were still resisting on the city wall joined the Yellow Turban Army for some reason.

Under the command of Cheng Lian, they and the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army launched an attack on the east wall, but they only achieved certain results, and the attack of the Yellow Turban Army in the East City suffered setbacks.

But soon, the south wall of Chengdu City was occupied by the Yellow Turban Army, and when the rolling sound of victory reached the ears of Yizhou Army soldiers who were defending on the east wall, they couldn't help but panic .

The commander on the south wall is their chief general, Ren Xian. The south wall is the main force of the Yizhou army, and now the main force is defeated...

Ren Xie was not a famous general, nor was he a brave general, but he followed Ren Xian in repeated battles and served as a lieutenant general for a long time, and he was keenly aware of something wrong.

Ren Xie immediately sent an order to call back all the soldiers in the east city, and then dispatched almost none of his personal guards as a supervisory team. And their families will receive huge bounties.

This move by Ren Xie naturally revived the demoralized soldiers under his command.

Of course, those armored soldiers standing behind them, wearing heavy armor and holding the ring sword in their hands, also made them have no way to retreat. They could only fight to the death.

Under the command of Ren Xie, the right army of the Yizhou Army exploded with amazing willpower.

The horse road in the lower city was blocked by the supervising team, and they could only continue to fight on the city wall.

Died on the battlefield, their family members can still get a happy ending. Ren Xie swore to the heavens that he would support their family members until death, and raise their children to grow up.

And once they deserted, their wives, children, and children would be convicted together, with men as slaves and women as prostitutes, and they would never be able to stand up again.

……

"The Dongcheng attack was frustrated, and our army's successive attacks were repelled by the Yizhou army in the Dongcheng..."

A messenger with a negative feather on his back hurriedly boarded the tower to report.

"Order Wen Chou to stop the attack, go down to the Ming camp, light up torches, and lead the troops to deploy outside the east city. I will send him another battalion of [-] soldiers and [-] cavalry. Be sure to guard the outside of the east city. Don't let him go." After a Yizhou army fled to the south."

Xu An raised his hand and stopped the messenger's words.

Now at night, the difficulty of attacking the city has increased a lot. Night battles are too unfavorable for the attacking party, so Xu An did not ask Wen Chou to continue attacking.

Sun Tzu's Art of War has a saying: Don't stop the army when you return, don't block the army if you surround it, and don't force the poor.

It means not to obstruct the retreating enemy army, to leave a gap for the surrounded enemy army to escape, and not to force the enemy army on the verge of extinction.

Show the way of life, so that you don't have the heart of death, so hit it.

If Dongcheng is captured, it is indeed possible to calmly wipe out the Yizhou army in the city. You only need to defend the four walls, and then use the Dongzhou soldiers in the city to defeat the Yizhou army in the city.

Of course, all four walls were occupied, and it was possible that the Yizhou army in the city would be doomed. Although the Yizhou army in the city would not be able to break through the city wall, the casualties of the Yellow Turban army would definitely be greater.

Although the east city wall has not been captured right now, as long as the east city is left behind, the Yizhou army in the city will not immediately jump over the wall in a hurry.

Right now, the three walls of the North City Wall, West City Wall, and South City Wall have been controlled by the Yellow Turban Army, which is actually enough.

Today's Yizhou army is actually like a turtle in a urn, trapped in the big urn of Chengdu City.

"Let Ma Chao leave two soldiers to guard the road leading south from the east wall, and then bring his personal guards back to the tower in the south city."

Xu An stood up and looked at the brightly lit Chengdu city.

Now the situation in the four cities of Chengdu and the four major urban areas in the southeast, northwest, and north has basically stabilized.

The northern city was still under the control of the Dongzhou soldiers, and Lu Bu occupied the northern city wall. He obeyed the military order and did not attack the Dongzhou soldiers, and the Dongzhou soldiers did not intend to provoke Lu Bu.

Most of the Xicheng District is now basically controlled by Yan Liang. The left army of the Yizhou Army lost its main general and was defeated for thousands of miles. The Yizhou army reacted, and Gan Ning led the troops to defeat the pursuing Yellow Turban army.

Yan Liang and Gan Ning did not confront each other in the end, and both sides maintained restraint. Gan Ning rescued the fleeing generals of the Yizhou Army, while Yan Liang controlled most of the Xicheng District.

Nancheng District and Dongcheng District are still under the control of the Yizhou Army. Roadblocks have been set up in all the streets of Nancheng District, which are tightly guarded and airtight arranged by Ren Xian.

In Dongcheng District, there were not many soldiers of the Yizhou Army. Most of them were transferred back to the East City Wall by Ren Xie to assist in the defense.

If the day is fine, with a telescope, Xu An can clearly see the deployment of the Yizhou Army from the tower, but it is already night.

Although Xu An did not suffer from night blindness, but after all, his sight was obstructed to a certain extent, and he couldn't see as clearly as during the day.

If the Yizhou Army wants to mobilize soldiers, they only need to extinguish the torches and move forward in the dark so that they can avoid the sight of the Yellow Turban Army.

Although there must be more soldiers suffering from night blindness in the Yizhou Army, the generals and schools of the Yizhou Army are basically from powerful families from all over the country. These people will not lack food or nutrition. many.

When they escaped from Xiaquyang, many of the Yellow Angels had night blindness, but Xu An did not have night blindness. During the march, they all held each other, led by Xu An, Gong Du, Liu Pi and other people who did not have night blindness. One step forward in the dark forest towards Jingxing Pass.

If the Yizhou army follows this method, it can also mobilize soldiers from the south city to the east city in the dark.

Jia Xu is not by Xu An's side, and now he is in charge of everything.

Although Jia Xu followed him all the way into Yinping Road, but the mountains were high and the road was far away, Xu An finally asked his personal guards to send Jia Xu back to Yinping.

Ask Jia Xu to lead Yinping's army and Xu Huang's Central Route Army to meet at Qiaotou, then march towards Baishui according to the original plan, and then attack Yizhou from Jianmen and Zitong.

"South City..."

"Ren Xian..."

The city of Chengdu quietly crawled under Xu An's feet, and Xu An leaned on the railing, overlooking the city of Chengdu that was burning with light.

If he hadn't come to this era, this place would later replace Mianzhu as the state government of Yizhou, and become the state government of Xinzhou where Liu Zhang took office as the state shepherd.

Yizhou still has a few years of stability, and then it will be turbulent and besieged on all sides.

In the back, Hanzhong was in turmoil, Liu Bei entered Shu, and the world was divided into three parts...

But now everything has changed. Although the world has been divided into three parts, it is divided into three parts by Taiping Dao and Han Wei.

The State of Wei was not the State of Wei established by the Cao family, but Yuan Shao.

It was not Yuan Shu who proclaimed himself emperor, but Yuan Shao. The Yuan family seemed to have an emperor no matter what.

It's just that how long the emperor can sit on the throne is still unknown.

Tian Feng was previously imprisoned because of the Taishan Yellow Turban incident. Although he has been released now, the position of the other driver has been replaced by trial and appointment. Now Tian Feng has been appointed to work in Youzhou, far away from the political center.

Xu An lightly tapped on the railing in front of him, and he also had a general situation in the city in his mind.

The south city cannot be defended. Now that the west city is occupied and the south city wall is also occupied, if the Yizhou army continues to hold on to the south city, they will encounter attacks from both sides.

Nancheng was the first urban area captured by the Yizhou army, and it was also the urban area where the Dongzhou army counterattacked most fiercely. Most of the buildings here were destroyed, and there was no way to establish a reliable defense.

And Dongcheng is now under the control of the Yizhou Army.

Although the adjacent Beicheng District is under the control of Dongzhou soldiers, Dongzhou soldiers do not have a complete command system. They only defend and rarely attack.

So Ren Xian is definitely dispatching troops and generals now, and wants to take advantage of the cover of night to move his generals from the south city to the east city.

Now that the general situation of the Yizhou Army is over, the victory is obviously on the side of the Yellow Turban Army.

And after going through this battle, Ren Xian definitely discovered the clues, and understood that the Yellow Turban Army that invaded Chengdu is definitely not the Yellow Turban Army from Yizhou, so it is very likely that Ren Xian wanted to evacuate through Dongcheng, not Fight to the death with the Yellow Turban Army in Chengdu.

Xu An looked up at the moon, there was no cloud in the sky, the bright moon was in the sky, and the stars were shining brightly.

The moonlight is bright, and the cool moonlight shines on the city of Chengdu.

Although the moonlight was not as bright as it was on the night when the Xianbei was conquered, the visibility was still not low.

Xu An narrowed his eyes slightly, and already had a plan in mind.

At this moment, several hurried footsteps came from under the tower, Xu An turned his head and looked up the stairs.

Before anyone arrived, a strong smell of blood had already arrived.

A general of the Han army wearing a torn battle robe climbed up the tower surrounded by several yellow angels, and caught Xu An's eyes.

Xu An turned around and looked at the Han army general standing not far in front of him.

The battle robe of the general of the Han army was in tatters, covered with blood, and the armor on his body was covered with knife marks. There were obvious signs of bandaging on his arms, and he looked injured.

"This person is Lei Tong, the current commander of Dongzhou soldiers."

Xu Hong, who brought the general of the Han army, stepped forward a little, and introduced Xu An in a low voice beside Xu An.

The general of the Han army was Lei Tong. He didn't keep up with Wu Yi and the others. He kept up with the large army. He was trapped in the east city.

Together with him, Wu Lan and Wu Ban were also trapped by the Yizhou Army.

After a bloody battle, Lei Tong led the troops to break out of the siege and returned to the North City. Soon Wu Ban also returned to the North City. The two of them integrated the soldiers and horses, and soon the Dongzhou soldiers in the city were also attached to them. .

The prestige of Lei Tong and Wu Ban in the Dongzhou soldiers is not bad, and the Dongzhou soldiers are indeed leaderless at the moment. Knowing that Lei Tong and Wu Ban are still in Beicheng, everyone seems to have found their backbone.

Lei Tong and Wu Ban broke through the siege, but Wu Lan was not as lucky as them. The Yizhou Army paid a price and finally took Wu Lan's head.

Lei Tong and Wu Ban prepared the Dongzhou soldiers in Beicheng, and soon they also discovered that the Yellow Turban Army had entered the city and occupied Beicheng.

Not long after, the flags of the Yellow Turban Army flew up in Nancheng and Xicheng, which also made Lei Tong and Wu Ban understand why the Yizhou Army hadn't attacked them for a long time.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

The Yizhou army is the praying mantis catching cicadas, and the Yellow Turban army is the oriole behind.

When Lei Tong saw Xu An, he remembered the envoy who arrived in their camp not long ago, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

He stood in front of Xu An, hesitant to move.

Xu An was not in a hurry either, he was also looking at Lei Tong in front of him.

In the original time and space, Thunder Copper was considered well-known. When the leader was the deputy general, he was defeated by Huang Zhong twice. However, as a partial division in the Battle of Hanzhong, he repelled Zhang He twice. Unfortunately, he was hit by an ambush in the end. He was cut off by Zhang Yun's array.

The strong wind howled, the flags shook, and the sound of hunting filled Lei Tong's ears.

Lei Tong sighed softly, and finally let go of his last pride.

Mianzhu was broken by the Yellow Turban Army, and all the families of Dongzhou soldiers under his command were in Mianzhu, so he had no choice.

He lowered his head, half knelt down, and saluted Xu An respectfully.

When saluting, it seemed that the wound was affected, causing him to frown involuntarily, but he still maintained the posture of saluting.

"Dongzhou Captain Lei Tong, pay homage to the great virtuous teacher."

　Mianzhu is the base camp of Dongzhou soldiers, and their family members were basically captured by the Yellow Turban Army, so Lei Tong and the others had no choice but to surrender.
