The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 777 Wind and Rain
In the sixth year of Chuping (195), May [-]st, dusk.

Outside Weijun and Fanyang City.

Swords and guns are like forests, halberds are like hemp, red flags are everywhere in the mountains and plains, and countless soldiers of the Han army in burqas are standing outside Fanyang City. They are facing Fanyang City far away, just like a city wall.

Under Fanyang City, the sound of war drums was like thunder, and the sound of horns continued.

Countless Han army soldiers in red and black armor marched unsteadily towards the front amidst the sound of high-spirited drums and horns.

The soldiers of the Han army continued to move forward step by step with the rhythmic sound of the drum, and used the beating of the drum instead of orders to ensure the rhythm of all soldiers when the army marched. This is what the Han army learned from the Yellow Turban Army. of.

The Han army was not so arrogant that it was unwilling to change, nor did it feel ashamed to learn from the Yellow Turban Army.

The victory or defeat on the battlefield is the most important thing. Zhao Wuling Wang Hufu rode and shot, revitalized Zhao State, Shang Yang's reform, strengthened Qin State.

In fact, there has never been any tradition in China that the laws of the ancestors cannot be abolished. The so-called immutable laws of the ancestors are just some excuses for some bewildered rotten scholars who read books and those with vested interests to protect their own interests. .

In the middle army of the Han army, the drums kept beating, and teams of soldiers of the Han army quickly walked out of the army formation under the command of the constant drumming and command flags, and regrouped in one side after another. Hou flag.

Under the leadership of their respective military lords, they will attack Fanyang City.

The city wall in the southern section of Fanyang has been broken, and the camp of the South Village outside the city has also been breached by the Han army.

But the Wei army is still stubbornly resisting, and what they have to do now is to give the Wei army the last blow, completely crush the Wei army, and defeat the Wei army.

Holding a long-handled sword in his hand, Xu Zhu was dressed in a red robe and black armor, and lined up in front of the formation.

When the soldiers in the front line had entered the city for a long time, his task was to take over the soldiers in the front line and continue to attack Fanyang City, not giving any chance to the stubborn Wei army in Fanyang City.

The camp set up by the [-] Han army stretched for more than ten miles, and it was difficult to see the edge at a glance.

The main battle line of the Han army stretched from Fanyang to Yinping. When Fanyang launched an attack, the Han army outside Yinping City also launched an attack on Yinping City.

High walls have already been built around the camp of the Han army, horses have been erected, and archers of the Han army with strong bows in their hands are standing on the high wall and waiting in full force, watching all directions vigilantly, wary of the enemy coming from any direction , without any slack.

In the army formation of the Han army, there were soldiers constantly shuttling back and forth according to orders, but the frequent mobilization was not chaotic, and it was still orderly and orderly.

The flag was shaking, the negative feathers were fluttering, and with the sound of rumbling horseshoes, the cavalry of the brigade whizzed past the outside of the camp,

The horseshoes were churning, and the horseshoes nailed with horseshoes trampled heavily on the grass. The billowing smoke and dust rose with the wind, almost covering the scorching sun in the sky.

In the middle army of the Han army, a fiery red banner stands on an earthen platform.

Under the banner of the big banner, a general wearing black armor and a crimson battle robe was sitting on the earthen platform.

On the battle robe is embroidered with gold thread the beasts of mythology and monsters. When the strong wind blows, the battle robe bulges, and the beasts on the battle robe seem to jump out of the battle robe and into the mortal world. .

Behind him, all the generals and schools of the Han army bowed their heads and waited for orders. Hundreds of soldiers in heavy armor and holding long halberds surrounded the earthen platform almost airtight.

It was indeed Sun Jian who led the Han army across the Yellow River and stationed in Dunqiu, but it is not Sun Jian who is now commanding the army.

At this time Sun Jian was standing behind the general sitting under the flag, respectful like a schoolboy facing his teacher.

Sun Jian is now the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households in the Han court, and his position is only below the Sangong, and among the Sangong, there is only one person who can make Sun Jian so respectful.

Outside Fanyang City, flags waved.

Huangfusong stared blankly at the advancing soldiers, no one could see his joy or anger.

Sun Jian was originally a general under Zhu Jun and then Huangfusong, and Huangfusong can actually be regarded as his old master.

In this battle, Sun Jian was actually only a vanguard, and the person who was really in the middle of commanding was actually Huang Fusong all along.

And the people who made suggestions were Guo Jia, Xun You, Chen Gong, and Cheng Yu.

Guo Jia and Xun You were subordinate officials of Liu Chong's mansion, while Chen Gong and Cheng Yu were celebrities recruited by Sun Jian in Yanzhou to accompany the army as staff.

In fact, strictly speaking, there is a fifth person who advises on this strategy, and that person is Xi Zhicai, who is also an official of the general's mansion.

It's just that there are only Guo Jia and four people accompanying the army now, Xi Zhicai is now in Chendu and has been ill for a long time.

The last East County War had actually exposed Sun Jian's shortcomings.

Sun Jian prefers the military situation, and he is good at using force to overcome ingenuity. He has the same style as Xiang Yu in the Chu and Han Dynasties.

At the beginning of the battle at Taiguguan, Xiang Yu had the same aura as when facing the besieging Zhao's army, and finally won the battle.

Sun Jian still lacked a lot in commanding large-scale legion operations and taking into account the overall situation.

So this Northern Expedition, the host was finally handed over to Huangfusong.

Huangfusong is richer than Sun Jian in terms of experience and commanding before the battle.

The Northern Expedition this time is really too important, the Han court bet all the elite, the outcome of this battle is related to the future fate of the Han court, and it is related to the fate of the great man.

The Yellow Turban Army took the initiative to abandon the Luoyang area, and also abandoned the two passes of Baixing and Fukouxing, which made the Han and Wei courts relax their vigilance, thinking that the Yellow Turban Army really suffered heavy casualties and had no power to fight again.

So the Han and Wei courts refocused their attention on each other and launched a new round of war.

But at this time, the Yellow Turban Army entrenched in the northern border annexed Yizhou in just a few months.

It was only at this time that the Han and Wei courts discovered that the so-called heavy casualties in the Luoyang area were nothing but false news released by the Yellow Turban Army.

The main strength of the Yellow Turban Army has not lost much at all, and they have even become stronger than before.

The reason for this is to drive away the tigers and devour the wolves, and want both of them to lose out in the fight, so that they can reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The severe drought and locust plague broke out in Guanzhong last year. The Yellow Turban Army must have been greatly reduced due to the impact of the drought and locust plague.

Everyone in the Han court knew that this was their last chance, so there was this sudden Northern Expedition.

"kill!!!"

In Fanyang City, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky.

The Han army poured into the city continuously, and most of the southern section of the city wall was under the control of the Han army.

May has passed, and the weather is gradually getting hotter. When June and July are in midsummer, the weather will be the hottest time of the year. At that time, marching and fighting are not easy, and the weather will restrict the march of the army.

At that time, even if the Yellow Turban Army went east out of the pass, they would have to withstand the severe test of the scorching heat, and their combat power would inevitably not be able to maintain their peak.

This is also a step in the strategy of the Han army.

It only needs to persist until July and August at most. The scorching heat and the shortage of food and grass supplies will force the Yellow Turban Army to withdraw from Jizhou.

Huangfusong closed his eyes. He was old, and he was no longer as young as before. He was physically and mentally exhausted from conducting for a long time, so he temporarily handed over the commanding power to Sun Jian.

However, closing his eyes did not stop Huangfusong from thinking.

As soon as he closed his eyes, he remembered the article written by Taipingdao that he had seen before.

"Yan pecks at the emperor's grandson, knowing that Han Zuo is about to end; the empress of Emperor Longmi, knowing the decline of Xia Ting..."

Just as the call to arms said, the current Yellow Turban Army has already achieved great momentum.

I don't know the facts about the Western Regions, but I only know that Xu An sent the Wuxiang Camp to conquer the Western Regions.

But Huangfusong knew very well that Taipingdao's current national power was no less than that of Hanting.

And most importantly, all the important passes were occupied by the Yellow Turban Army. The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army had a great advantage. The Yellow Turban Army completely grasped the initiative of the war, but they could only be beaten passively.

This is the last chance...

"To the commoner in my hometown, because of the chaos in the world, I was pushed by everyone..."

Huangfu Song couldn't help sighing softly.

Xu An made no secret of his origin, and even claimed to be a rural commoner in the proclamation, which also made Huangfusong feel a crisis in his heart.

At the beginning, he used the unique terrain of Zhiyuan Pass to defeat the attack of the Yellow Turban Army, but Huangfusong knew that it was actually the Yellow Turban Army who took the initiative to retreat at the end.

At the end of the day, Huangfusong was ready to kill himself and become a benevolent man. If the Yellow Turban Army's offensive continued for a few more days, the Yuanyuan Pass would surely be broken.

Even though Huangfusong's subordinates are elite soldiers from Henan, Yanjing and Jingzhou, Huangfusong's face still did not relax.

In the past few days, what he paid most attention to was not Fanyang City, but Hanoi County to the west.

The Taihang Yellow Turban Army soldiers left Taihang Xing, and in just eight days they had already occupied the central and western regions of Hanoi County. Baixing, which was originally occupied by the Wei Army after the Battle of Luoyang, was also easily regained by the Yellow Turban Army.

Just one day ago, a letter from Chaoge from the west said that the Taihang Yellow Turban Army led by Yu Du was attacking Chaoge, and they were unable to hold on.

According to the news just received, Chaoge had already been defeated by the Taihang Yellow Turban Army, only more than [-] people escaped from Chaoge, and most of them had already evacuated to Beicheng in the north according to the original plan.

Huangfusong leaned back on the chair, his brows wrinkled involuntarily.

Chaoge City, which was guarded by [-] defenders, could not even hold out for two days under the attack of a partial division of the Yellow Turban Army.

The army guarding Chaoge is the Yanzhou Army, which belongs to the second tier of soldiers in the current camp of the Han Army. They are only weaker than the Yuzhou soldiers and Jingzhou soldiers, but stronger than the original Zhongping County soldiers. It's more than just a star and a half.

But still not able to hold on for two days.

Huangfusong let out a foul breath, opened his eyes, and looked at the thrown car not far away.

Nowadays, the throwing cars in the army are so powerful that sieging a city and breaking a wall is like destroying the dead, but it is too dependent on manpower.

However, the Yellow Turban Army has a machine that can throw boulders without relying on manpower.

There are also fast-moving catapults and ballistas that can be used on the battlefield.

Huangfusong had an illusion, he even felt that his side was the rebel side, while Xu An was the orthodox one.

The equipment of the officers and soldiers has always been better than that of the bandits. When we see that the armed forces of the bandits are far superior to those of the officers and soldiers, even the officers and soldiers need to learn from the bandits.

Huangfusong stood up, the chaotic thoughts in his mind made him unable to rest at all.

The Taihang Yellow Turban Army was in full swing, making Huangfusong even more uneasy. Except for Chaoge, which they originally controlled, there was no news from Hanoi County during this period. Huangfusong only knew that he died on May [-] Zhi Guanxing entered Hanoi County, and there was no confirmed news from Hanoi County after that.

"Gong Yi, You Ping."

Huangfusong stood up and gave the order, with a more serious tone.

On the earthen platform, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai hurried forward, clasping their hands to obey the order.

Not only Liu Bei led Youzhou Qi to Yanzhou, Jiang Qin, Zhou Tai, Ling Cao and others also followed Youzhou Qi to Yanzhou. Of course, Sun Ce still stayed in Qingzhou.

"The next wave of attack, the two of you will lead the Danyang soldiers to attack."

Sun Jian also recruited soldiers in Danyang, and besides the [-] soldiers from Wujun, there were more than [-] Danyang soldiers under his command.

"promise."

Regarding Huangfusong's general order, Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai naturally did not dare to disobey, and immediately accepted the title without thinking too much.

Sun Jian at the side heard Huangfusong's order, and seemed to be a little uneasy.

The Wei army still has the power to resist now. According to common sense, it should wait another day until the deployment of the Wei army in the city has been inspected before sending elite troops into the city to prevent accidents.

Now that the southern section of the city wall and gates have been breached, the defeat of the Wei army is only a matter of time. Even if the Yellow Turban army ran all the way, it would take nearly ten days. Now it is only four days before receiving the news.

Although Chaoge has fallen, Liyangdu and Beicheng are still there, and the west is still safe. They still have three days to win this battle, and then they can leave three days to build a front to resist the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

Right now, the sun is setting and the night will soon enter the night. Even if Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai lead the Danyang soldiers to victory, they cannot expand their advantage. It is really unwise to use troops like this...

"The station."

Huangfusong ignored Sun Jian's suspicious gaze and continued to give orders.

"Tomorrow, you will lead the frontline infantry to attack the city."

"promise."

After Sun Jian made the promise, he frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued.

"Send an order to Yuan Shu to let him pay attention to the news of Beicheng and Liyang. His task is not only to contain the Wei army in the back of Yecheng, so that the Wei army cannot fight with all its strength, but also to serve as a barrier to the west of our army to prevent the cavalry of the Yellow Turban army." The army broke in without any scruples."

"Does the general suspect that Xu An might send cavalry to attack the rear of our army? The Mothie Sixth Cavalry Battalion now only has the Bingzhou and Shanggu Battalions accompanying the army, so it shouldn't be so risky."

"It's not impossible. Consider the worst-case scenario. When an accident happens, there is a good time to react."

Huangfusong sat down again, with a solemn expression, and said in a deep voice.

No matter who he was fighting against, Huangfusong was always calm and composed, but when he was fighting Xu An alone, he was restless.

The strong wind suddenly blew up, and the countless banners of the Han army were blown up by the strong wind in an instant, and there was a slight chill in the sudden strong wind.

Huangfusong felt as if a tiny drop of water fell on the back of his hand.

Looking up at the sky, in the sky not far away, dark clouds are slowly gathering, and the rays of the sun that is gradually slanting west not far away can't completely infect those dark clouds.

　300w words are still a bit difficult, the author is writing hard,

　　The end of the eighth volume, "Flying for Nine Heavens" is this great battle.

　　After the end of the eighth volume, it will be the last volume of this book, "The World of the Yellow Sky".

　　I originally thought that I would write until September of this year, but it seems that I may not be able to write for that long.

　　It took nearly two years to write, because it was the first time to write a novel, so various problems appeared in the middle, fortunately, with the support of all book friends, I persisted.
