Xiang Yu fights the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 31 Turn the tide
It is said that Dong Zhuo is taking over Lu Zhi's position and leading his army to continue fighting with Guangzong's Zhang Jiao army. Before that, Lu Zhi had besieged the main force of the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City, but the number of Yellow Turban Army was huge, relying on Guangzong's city wall, and Forced into a desperate situation, he will definitely fight to the end. Lu Zhi's attack on Guangzong also needs time to prepare enough siege equipment, which is worth the siege, but he was killed by a villain.

Dong Zhuo saw that the stall left by Lu Zhi was not so easy to deal with, so he decided to temporarily abandon the attack on Guangzong, turned around and led the army to Quyang, which is north of Guangzong, but what Dong Zhuo didn't expect was that Quyang's Yellow Turban Army would also It was not easy to deal with. Many of his soldiers had fought many victories with Lu Zhi before. Although the siege of Guangzong was difficult to win, most of the soldiers believed that Lu Zhi's strategic decision was correct.

But now Lu Zhi was suddenly dismissed and taken away, and Dong Zhuo was parachuted over. Dong Zhuo was a Qiang-Han hybrid, and he was very different from the Han people in the Central Plains both in appearance and in speech and behavior. Therefore, these soldiers inevitably felt different. Being dissatisfied and unable to express his dissatisfaction publicly, the gradual spread of this kind of emotion has caused Dong Zhuo's current army to lose more and more depression. Dong Zhuo is an outsider who lacks foundation and prestige, and it is difficult to command his men on the actual battlefield. Therefore, the first battle to attack Quyang was just a [-]-[-] battle with the Yellow Turban Army.

The Yellow Turban Army seemed to feel that Dong Zhuo's soldiers were not very good at fighting, especially their fighting will. They had no morale or momentum on the battlefield, and there were even many deserters. The general scolded, but the effect was still not good. What he didn't expect was that the main force of Zhang Jiao's Yellow Turbans who had been besieged in Guangzong had rushed out of the encirclement at this time, and came directly towards Dong Zhuo from behind. Quyang's Yellow Turbans teamed up to double-team Dong Zhuo.

Dong Zhuo expected that the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City would come out. His initial idea was to take the lead in destroying the Yellow Turban Army in Quyang, and then let the Yellow Turban Army in Guangzong City come out. It's a big discount. At this time, if I lead my army back to fight these Yellow Turbans, I will definitely win.

But Dong Zhuo thought of everything, but he didn't think that he led the army to fight Quyang but stumbled. Instead of defeating Quyang and destroying the Yellow Turbans here before Guangzong's Yellow Turbans came, he exposed his current attitude towards this army Insufficient control made the morale of the Yellow Turban Army high, but the soldiers under him became weaker and weaker. Many soldiers became deserters, and the situation gradually got out of control.

Dong Zhuoxin said that the dog emperor listened to slander and left such a big mess to himself. He really believed what those eunuchs said. Ten lives are not enough to die. Moreover, he came so far to help you suppress the bandits in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Those elite soldiers under his command could not lead them, only the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Although these officers and soldiers themselves were not bad in equipment and combat capabilities, but because Lu Zhi was arrested and he came from other places, he could not take them in a short time. There is no way to regain control of this army, and it is really a pitfall by these guys.

Dong Zhuo didn't say much, he was experienced and knew that the troop under him now had no combat power at all, and had no chance under the attack from both sides of the Yellow Turban Army, so he brought a small group of people who were willing to follow him The soldiers took advantage of the chaos and fled. As for the life and death of the remaining soldiers, he didn't bother to care about them, and he couldn't care about them.

But he said that Zhang Jiao led his troops out of Guangzong City, and they did not receive much resistance along the way. He also felt a little strange, it was obviously the same army, and he was the one who was beaten to the ground before, but now He suddenly became so weak, but the soldiers under him didn't care about the many, how badly they were beaten by these officers and soldiers before, and now they will pay back twice as much.

Those troops left behind by Dong Zhuo were also unwilling to fight. Some fled in all directions, some surrendered to the Yellow Turban Army, and some who were unwilling to flee or surrender to the Yellow Turban Army had to fight to the end. It caused a lot of trouble to the Yellow Turban Army, but the general situation was gone, and they were finally wiped out by the Yellow Turban Army coming from all directions.

However, the Yellow Turban Army saw Dong Zhuo leading a small army trying to escape, so they were not willing to let him escape easily. Zhang Jiao personally led the army to chase after him, and Dong Zhuo was chased to the extreme. He thought he had never in his life After being so useless, I couldn't help but get angry, and there was no way to dispel the anger by venting my anger on the soldiers under him, so I also thought of simply turning around and fighting these Yellow Turban soldiers to the death.

Just when Dong Zhuo was about to despair, his savior appeared. It turned out that Xiang Yu led a thousand soldiers and horses to support Dong Zhuo. He saw many fleeing soldiers along the way. Finally, when Dong Zhuo was about to be overtaken by Zhang Jiao's army, he found Dong Zhuo first.

Looking at Dong Zhuo who was in a state of embarrassment, Xiang Yu felt a little funny, but he didn't show it. When Dong Zhuo saw Xiang Yu arriving, he immediately felt as if he had beaten a dying wild dog and was bloody. recovered.

"Xiang Ji, it's really time for you to come!"

Xiang Yu didn't answer but looked at the approaching Yellow Turban Army from a distance. He didn't ask Dong Zhuo why he was beaten so badly by these Yellow Turban Army. He just rode his gun and led the army towards Zhang Jiao .

Dong Zhuo wiped the blood on his face with his hand, shouted loudly, jumped on his horse, and followed Xiang Yu to the Yellow Turban Army. He was also very powerful when he was young. The Qiang people who ride horses and shoot arrows are all inferior to Dong Zhuo.

They are also from the central government of the Eastern Han Dynasty. These soldiers under the command of Xiang Yu are completely different from those under Dong Zhuo. Xiang Yu's subordinates turned into a group of wolves, with fierce eyes and extraordinary bravery.

Xiang Yu raised his gun and rode his horse to kill at the front, holding a thunder gun, wearing thin scale armor, a red robe behind him, and a red horse under his crotch, which suddenly strung into the yellow scarf army formation like a flame in the setting sun , the cavalry behind him followed closely, like a sharp spear piercing the enemy's heart, Xiang Yu was unstoppable, and came straight to the position of Zhang Jiao, the middle army of the Yellow Turban Army.

That horn was holding a nine-segment staff, and was still waving it in the middle of the army. There were shouts from his mouth that he couldn't understand, which seemed to be some spells. There were some changes, and his subordinates reported that he was about to catch up with Dong Zhuo, but suddenly a very ferocious army came out, and the leader was an unstoppable man who was leading the army straight here.

Zhang Jiao was taken aback for a moment, a look of surprise flashed across his face, but he soon regained his composure. He probably didn't expect that the person who came straight to take his head was the one who touched his knee that day. Xiang Yu, who had a long talk, had just obtained Zhou Zhuo's body at that time, and looked very thin and weak, but at that time, some energy in his eyes caught Zhang Jiao's attention.

At that time, Xiang Yu told Zhang Jue that if he was willing to give up the command of the rebel army and give him full power to command, then he would be willing to help Zhang Jue, but Zhang Jiao hesitated, even though he saw Xiang Yu's extraordinary in his eyes, But after all, the other party is only a slender 16-year-old boy, and asking him to hand over all the command of the army is obviously a bit too high!

And Xiang Yu didn't give Zhang Jiao more time to think about it, so he left Zhang Jiao directly, left Julu, and headed for the distance.

Now Zhang Jiao's rebel army is indeed doing well, but just as Xiang Yu expected at the time, the real combat capabilities of such a peasant rebel army are very limited. Although the number is large, they lack sufficient equipment and weapons and under the command of an excellent general. It is simply difficult to fight against the regular army of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, in order to consolidate the rule of the central government and prevent local forces from becoming bigger and stronger, even the quantity and quality of the local government's troops were very strictly limited, but now the emperor had to end the rebellion of the Yellow Turban Army as soon as possible Decentralization allows local governments and local tyrants to have the right to recruit troops independently.

The Yellow Turban Army could not compare with the local government and local powerful in terms of the composition of soldiers or war materials and equipment. More importantly, the highest guiding ideology of the soldiers of the Yellow Turban Army turned out to be the illusory "Taiping Dao" created by Zhang Jiao.

Relying on some slogans of "the heaven is dead, the yellow sky should stand" can't really defeat the army with better weapons and equipment, better training, military command quality and experience.
