Chapter 33, Accident

Gongsun Zan disagreed and said, "Xuande, you're trying to destroy your own prestige by taking the ambition of others! I admit that the Yellow Turban Army is very tenacious, but they don't know how to fight at all, and the leader of the bandits doesn't know how to command a large army. They can still command a small army." , but the command of hundreds of thousands of people is not because I look down on them, even I may not be able to command. Why command an army of more than [-], the more they are, the weaker their combat effectiveness will be. However, we can take advantage of the maneuverability of cavalry to form a situation where we can fight more and fight less locally. The thieves are in chaos and become lambs waiting to be slaughtered."

When Liu Bei heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Brother Bogui has a good opinion, but my younger brother is far inferior! It is true that the more troops the better!"

The school captains Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Tian Kai and others on the battlefield all nodded in agreement. Generals like them know that the more troops the better, it depends on how much they can command. Like Xian Yufu, Yan Yufu Rou, Tian Kai can still command a few thousand people like an arm, but when there are tens of thousands of people, it is a bit difficult for them to command, and hundreds of thousands of people can't command at all.

Liu Yu was still a little worried and said: "After all, this is an army of more than [-], it's better to be more cautious! We will defend the city here in Tang County, and wait for Brother Nanrong to lead the Bingzhou Army to come and fight the Yellow Turban Bandits."

Now Liu Yu is also under great pressure. He has been a Jiuqing, so he naturally knows that the court has no money, and even the main force has been dragged to Xiliang. It is very difficult to maintain such an army like them. If you want to quickly break Zhang Niujiao, But he also knew that the imperial court no longer had an army.

If the Youzhou Army is defeated, there will only be 3 Bingzhou Army left. If the Bingzhou Army is also defeated, the entire Central Plains will have no troops. It will spread all over the world again.

He couldn't bear such consequences. Under such circumstances, Liu Yu's pressure can be imagined, so he was naturally more conservative.

But the judge said: "It is also very difficult to defend the city. Zhang Niujiao and the others have crowbars to see through the bricks of the city wall, and powerful trebuchets that can fire stone bullets weighing hundreds of catties from three hundred steps away. Yingtao City and Gaoyi City had more than 2 defenders, but it was because Zhang Niujiao and his catapults were so powerful that they directly broke through the city wall that we were defeated. If we defend the city by ourselves, we must be careful of the thieves' catapults. "

"300 steps!"

"Stone bombs weighing hundreds of catties!"

Gongsun Zan and the others are experienced generals, so they naturally know what such a powerful trebuchet means!
It means that they are only beaten and cannot fight back!

Gongsun Zan immediately said, "My lord, we still need to fight the Yellow Turban Bandit first, to strengthen the Yellow Turban Bandit's spirit."

Liu Bei also said: "If the trebuchet is really powerful, it will be a big trouble for us!"

Xian Yufu then said: "At the very least, we must find a way to destroy the catapults of the thieves, otherwise we will not be able to fight this battle!"

Seeing that all the generals were going to fight, Liu Yu thought for a long time and said, "Okay, let's fight the bandits! Bogui, your cavalry will be stationed outside the city, focusing on the catapults of the Yellow Turban bandits, and trying to destroy them if you seize the opportunity." they."

Five days later, Zhang Niujiao finally led an army of 5 to outside Tang County, and Liu Yu also led an army of 15 out of the city to fight.

Both sides didn't say much, and started fighting directly.

Xian Yufu, Yan Rou, Tian Kai, and Pan Feng led their troops straight to the Yellow Turban Army formation. Gongsun Zan, Liu Bei and others even directed their own cavalry to charge left and right. Relying on the powerful impact of the cavalry, they defeated the Yellow Turban Army one after another. There were several phalanxes of the army, and the infantry followed the cavalry and stepped forward to clear them.

The Yellow Turban Army was beaten and retreated steadily. If it weren't for Zhang Niujiao's large number of people, they had to find someone to respond in advance, and it is unknown how many people the Yellow Turban Army would die.

But even though most of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army fled back, Zhang Niujiao counted the losses, and there were tens of thousands of casualties, and the strong combat effectiveness of the Youzhou Frontier Army was once again displayed.

And Liu Yu and the others were also having headaches. The combat power of the Yellow Turban Army was obviously beyond their imagination. They lost 3000 soldiers in one day. If the fighting continued like this, the Youzhou Army would be wiped out in 10 days.

Even Gongsun Zan began to pay attention to the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army. Although their officers were not good at commanding, the soldiers were brave and fearless, which greatly narrowed the gap in combat effectiveness between the two sides.

So when they returned to the prefect's mansion to discuss matters, everyone's face became heavy, and they couldn't think of any good way to defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

At this time, the judge said: "My lord, let's continue to retreat to Youzhou to lengthen the front of the Yellow Turban Army. The Bingzhou side must be coming to Jizhou soon. If Zhang Niujiao leads the army to continue the pursuit, Lord Fu Bian can lead people to cut off the Yellow Turbans." The thief's way of food, when the time comes, the Yellow Turban thief will collapse without a fight."

At this time, Bingzhou spies came to contact. Fu Bian had led an army of [-] to assemble and was about to leave Fukou Pass and enter Jizhou, so he wanted to contact Liu Yu and the others to encircle and suppress the Yellow Turban bandits together.

Liu Yu and the others were overjoyed, approved the plan of trial and match, and notified Fu Bian, hoping that he could cut off the Yellow Turban thief's food road after they were introduced to Youzhou.

Then Liu Yu's [-] people retreated slowly. Zhang Niujiao thought that Liu Yu and the others could not bear the casualties, and Daxi led the army to pursue, hoping to keep Liu Yu's [-] horsemen in Jizhou, but Liu Yu ordered Gongsun Zan's cavalry to rear, and Gongsun Zan He also led the cavalry all the way to defeat thousands of Yellow Turbans, so that Zhang Niujiao could only lead the army into Youzhou with Gongsun Zan and the others.

At the same time, for the first time, he had the plan to build a cavalry, fighting in northern Xinjiang, no cavalry was too passive.

The Yellow Turban Army and the Youzhou Army, hundreds of thousands of troops galloped on the land of northern Xinjiang in this way, and the army officially entered the border of Youzhou 5 days later.

But when Zhang Niujiao set foot on the vast land of Youzhou, he said with high spirits: "Youzhou will be the territory of our Yellow Turban Army from now on, and we will build this place into the Yellow Sky World!"

But the spies came to report: "The commander-in-chief, Fu Bian of Bingzhou, suddenly appeared in Jizhou, defeated Zhang Bai's cavalry, and has already occupied Zhongshan."

Zhongshan Kingdom is where the Yellow Turban Army's granary is located, and it has now been occupied by the Han army. Not only has the food road been cut off, but even the back road has been cut off, so when Zhang Niujiao heard this, he vomited blood and fell to the ground!

"Marshal, Marshal!" Chu Feiyan and the others were taken aback by this situation, but after Zhang Niujiao woke up, he said, "Immediately retreat and return to aid, we must take back Zhongshan!" Zhang Niujiao fainted again after speaking fall.
