The World of Yellow Sky

Under the camera, the camp of the Han army was in chaos, with flames everywhere and thick smoke spreading.

Zhao Yun captured Cheng Yu alive, and Tai Shici led his troops into Pengcheng, and at the same time broke through Pengcheng's North Village.

When the signal sounded, all the powerful aristocratic families in Pengcheng who were connected with the Eagle Wolf Guard all rebelled one after another and launched an attack on the surrounding Han army.

Both internally and externally, Cheng Yu was captured, and no one in Pengcheng could stop this chaos.

Even if a group of dragons has no leader, they will be in a mess. The soldiers of the village soldiers in Pengcheng are not really dragons. To say they are shrimp soldiers and crab generals is actually a bit flattering. It is more appropriate to call them mobs.

Zhao Yun guarded the North City, monitoring the situation in the city. His task was very simple, to ensure that Cheng Yu could not escape, and at the same time guard the North City to prevent it from being recaptured by the Han army.

He only needs to persist until those infantry who are marching rapidly from Jiuli Mountain to Pengcheng enter Pengcheng.

The army led by Tai Shici and him into Pengcheng was actually not many, only [-] men, and the sons of the [-] men, the Red Warriors and the Ruishi, each accounted for half.

With such a small amount of troops thrown into the huge Pengcheng, it is difficult to even splash much water in normal times.

Scattered to the four directions, each side can only share more than two thousand people, just enough to defend the four walls.

And what they have to do is not only to guard the four walls, they also need to do more things.

They want to completely disrupt Pengcheng, causing the nearly [-] Han troops inside and outside Pengcheng to fall apart.

It sounds unbelievable. After all, the number of people differs by ten times, and what they can do is extremely limited.

But all these are not false words.

When the two armies are at war, the factors and reasons that affect the outcome are not just the number of people.

At this time, Pengcheng has completely turned into a purgatory on earth amidst the fighting and smoke.

Fortunately, in order to prepare for the battle of Pengcheng and accommodate more soldiers, Liu Xie ordered people to move most of the people in Pengcheng out of the city in advance and moved to the west.

There are wailing sounds in all directions, and all parts of the city are fighting.

Those powerful aristocratic families anyway launched an indiscriminate attack on the other troops who did not put on ocher banners around them, in order to muddy the water in the pool.

Those ordinary Xiangyong in Pengcheng had never seen such a formation, nor did they expect that those comrades who were supposed to be Paoze would draw their swords against them.

Those powerful families who launched the rebellion took the lead, driving the rout troops and continuously attacking the rest of the Han army who were still in chaos and panic, making the water in the city even more turbid and chaotic.

The only thing that still had some order was the east city of Pengcheng. At that time, Cheng Yu ordered his lieutenants to gather the main army in the city, mainly to gather in the direction of the east city to stabilize the situation.

Cheng Yu's generals carried out this order very well, and gathered all the main troops that could be assembled in the east city before the situation deteriorated completely.

The attack and defense of Dongcheng was thus affected. After the Ming army took control of the west, north, and south walls, they encountered tenacious resistance from the Han army in Dongcheng.

However, although the Han army in Dongcheng resisted tenaciously, after they saw the captured Cheng Yu, their morale plummeted in an instant. In the second attack of the Ming army, Dongcheng was also taken into the bag by the Ming army.

The city walls on all sides were completely controlled by Tai Shici in a short period of time.

Xu An put down the binoculars in his hand. Before the yellow flag was raised in Dongcheng, he had already dispatched the Ruishi Battalion and Qingzhou soldiers as the right army to the direction of Pengcheng Dongcheng

The Qingzhou soldiers are all infantry, but the soldiers of the Ruishi Battalion are horse-riding infantry. At first, they lined up under the banner of the Xiaoqi Battalion under the Dongshan Mountain to confuse the Han army.

Among the four camps in Pengcheng, the east city was built against the wall of Pengcheng because it had to face the attack of the Ming army.

After the Ming army occupied Dongcheng, they could even directly commandeer over the city wall and shoot at Pengcheng Dongzhai.

The East Village of Pengcheng was already in chaos, and the right army sent by Xu An easily broke into the camp, completely disintegrating the defense line of the Han Army in the East Village.

Xu An withdrew his gaze from Peng Cheng.

Pengcheng is over.

According to the plan, the pawns in the direction of Jiuli Mountain should be about to enter Pengcheng at this time.

Counting the Qingzhou soldiers and the elite battalion he sent, as well as the soldiers and elite soldiers under Tai Shici's command, the total number of infantry entering Pengcheng will reach [-].

With [-] elite infantry, it is more than enough to take down a Pengcheng.

What's more, what they have to face is just a group of frightened birds.

All the square gates of Pengcheng were also occupied.

The North City Gate and West City Gate were closed tightly, blocking the movement direction of the Han army in Pengcheng. Only the East City Gate and South City Gate were open.

The Han army in Pengcheng wanted to escape only from these two directions. The east gate was the entrance of the Ming army. Naturally, it was impossible for the Han army to meet the Ming army's muzzle, so in fact, the last remaining The escape route is the south gate of Pengcheng.

And Tai Shici also intentionally led the Han troops in Pengcheng to flee in the direction of Nancheng.

Tai Shici led the cavalry composed of soldiers and sharp men to drive the rout in Pengcheng, and headed south.

The four villages of Pengcheng, Beizhai, and Dongzhai have been conquered by the Ming army.

Xizhai also fell into chaos, and the Han army who remained in Xizhai was also the bravest of the townspeople. These fellows who were left behind in Xizhai were also the worst part of the township bravery, and their morale was already extremely low.

After experiencing the initial civil strife, they were already on the verge of collapse. It was the general Zhonglang of the Han army guarding Xizhai who commanded his generals to resist desperately to stabilize the situation.

But even so, the situation did not stabilize for long. As the ocher flags of the Ming army were replaced on the towers of Xicheng, the morale of these village warriors in Xizhai fell to the bottom in an instant.

I don't know who called out the army to attack, and the entire Xizhai collapsed completely. The officers in the Xizhai could no longer suppress the army, and a large number of Xiangyong escaped from the camp and fled towards the west.

And when they fled to the west, they undoubtedly threw themselves into the trap, because at this time Xu Huang had already led the two battalions of Xiaoqi Battalion and Xiliang Battalion with tens of thousands of cavalry to cut off the retreat of the Han army.

When Xu Huang saw the rout of the Han army fleeing westward, he didn't hesitate, and directly dispatched a thousand-man cavalry to drive them away.

Military disasters are worse than banditry disasters, if these rout soldiers are allowed to flee, it may cause poisoning for thousands of miles.

These routs will cause great harm to the land where they pass.

The fleeing soldiers lacked food and clothing, and were always worried about the danger of their lives. Under such circumstances, no courtesy, justice, shame, benevolence, justice or morality were important anymore...

Looking at the car, Xu An threw the binoculars in his hand to Xu Hong who was at the side.

There is no need to look at the battle situation in the distance.

Tai Shici drove Pengcheng's rout troops to break through the chaotic Nanzhai.

The twenty-seven company camps set up by Sun Jing in the southwestern mountainous area are interlocking and linked to each other, making it easy for them to support.

At that time, Xu An ordered Zhang Liao to suspend his attack on Pengcheng's Dongzhai, and instead marched to attack the northern area of ​​the southwestern Han army camp.

The northern part of the camp commanding the Southwest Han Army was Xun Yu. Xun Yu dispatched troops and dispatched most of his troops to the front camp to resist Zhang Liao's attack.

He didn't expect that Pengcheng would get into a mess first, and when he reacted, it was already more than a week and a half late.

Tens of thousands of Han army routs spread all over the mountains and plains, relying on the cover and momentum of the rout soldiers.

Tai Shici broke through three battalions in the north. Two of the three battalions were connected to Pengcheng, and the third camp was a large village, which was mainly used to gather food and transport troops.

Everything Sun Jing designed was based on Peng Cheng's design. He never thought that Peng Cheng would be the first to break through.

The actual company is not twenty-seven, but twenty-nine.

Jiuli Mountain and Pengcheng were also used as camps by Sun Jing, and Pengcheng was the largest military station.

It has to be said that although Sun Jing's military strategy is not as good as Sun Jian's, his use of geographical advantages has reached its peak.

It's a pity, one careless move, and the whole game is lost...

Of the twenty-seven company battalions set up by Sun Jing, seven were captured from the front, three from the north by Tai Shici, and two by Zhang Liao.

Twenty-seven company battalions, nearly half of the camps were conquered, and at the same time, Pengcheng, the largest military depot, was lost.

The chain trend has completely disintegrated, and Xu An has issued a military order for a general attack.

Under the leadership of Yan Liang and Wen Chou, the cavalry of Shanggu Camp and Bingzhou Camp went to the south.

A large net to capture the Han army has been opened, encircling it on all sides, and the Han army without cavalry cannot escape from Pengcheng at all.

The Han army chose to deploy defenses in Pengcheng, and Liu Xie wanted to use himself as a bait to win opportunities for the navy and regain control of the Huai River.

But all of this is nothing but illusion after all. No matter how perfect the plan is, it depends on who is executing it, and it also depends on the right time, place and people.

The Han army only takes advantage of the land, but not the time, let alone the harmony of people.

The military equipment of the Han army is weak, and most of them have shoddy equipment, and those with evil intentions are like carp crossing the river.

However, the Ming army was united, armed and armored more sophisticated and stronger than the Han army, and took advantage of the cavalry, firmly grasping the initiative in the war.

If Huangfusong was the one who commanded the battle of Pengcheng, then Xu An would never come to Pengcheng.

Because it was absolutely impossible for Huangfusong to summon the so-called brave men from the village to help, he knew the difference between the regular army and the mob.

If Huangfu Song or Sun Jian were alone in Pengcheng, Xu An would choose another method to solve the problem.

In fact, there are still some risks in the battle of Pengcheng this time. If the plan does not go well, it is really possible for Hanting to get a breathing space.

In fact, there is a more secure way to win.

Xu An only needs to order Xu Rong to lead the army south to Yanzhou, and at the same time send troops out of Luoyang, order the Yizhou Army and Zhongzhou Army to attack Jingzhou, and send troops from four directions, which completely makes it difficult to care about. In a short time, the Han court will fall into a large area. In this area, the war potential of the Han court will be hit extremely hard, and the morale of the Han army will also plummet.

The reason why Xu An knew that there were tigers in the mountains, so he chose to lead the main force to Pengcheng.

It is precisely because if he orders a large-scale mobilization of troops, this kind of war with hundreds of thousands of thousands of miles in length and width will inevitably make the lives of people miserable and the ground thousands of miles away.

The chaos of war will inevitably affect a large number of people, and there will be no rooster crowing for thousands of miles, and the scene of bones being exposed in the wild may also appear.

The casualties of soldiers are just cold data on paper, but each number represents the eternal regret and loss of life of a family.

And those displaced people will not even be listed on the intelligence, they will be ignored directly.

Why not just decide the outcome in Pengcheng, this is Xu An's most sincere thought.

He used to live on the battlefield as the most ordinary soldier, and he can feel deeply, even though it has been more than ten years, but he still has no way to regard those numbers as just numbers.

"Next, the command of the Chinese army will be troublesome to Mr. Yan."

Xu An turned around and took a slightly worn-out Han sword from the guard.

Yan Gong was startled when he heard the words, his eyes moved from the Han army's camp to Xu An's body, and he said doubtfully.

"Minggong, this is it?"

"Fulfill the old promise."

Xu An raised his eyes forward, as if he was remembering something.

"What promise?"

"The promise I made before Jingxing Pass."

Xu An clenched the Han sword in his hand, and walked slowly towards the car.

Yan Zhong did not continue to ask, he knew that Xu An must have his own ideas.

"Aren't you going with me?"

Yan Zhong turned his head to look at Jia Xu, Xu An had already left the observation car, but Jia Xu was still sitting on the seat and did not move.

"Do you think that Duke Ming really needs me by his side now?"

Jia Xu shook his head with a smile, his words were full of puns

"Too……"

Yan Zhong's eyes narrowed slightly, what Jia Xu said was not wrong in a certain sense.

In many cases, although Xu An's goals and systems have some flaws, they are not fatal. After revision, they all prove to be good policies and policies for governing the country.

On the side of military strategy, Xu An seems to have the demeanor of everyone.

The newly appointed staff officer refreshed his cognition even more. He never thought that wars could be fought in this way, and military strategy could be taught in this way.

In this battle of Pengcheng, everything was almost in the expectation of those staff officers, and the Han army had been controlled by those staff officers all the time.

The world is undergoing earth-shaking changes.

"It is said that when the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden; when the cunning rabbit dies, the lackey cooks..."

Yan Zhong looked at the battle situation again and said.

"However, we don't need to worry about these things..."

Some people can only share adversity, but not wealth.

But he was not worried that Xu An would use such means to treat heroes, he knew Xu An's character.

Moreover, Xu An is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and there is still a lot of time waiting for Xu An to govern the world well.

Xu An is ushering in an era, a brand new era.

only……

He has no way to go forward with Xu An to witness the arrival of a new era...
