Xiliang Iron Cavalry

Liu Bei said: "No, the Jingzhou army and the Yellow Turban will fight against Shangcai. The second brother is struggling to support in Pingyu City. If he gives up, it will mean that the [-] people in Runan will be sent to the Yellow Turban. It is absolutely impossible."

"My lord is kind, but our army's strength is low, and now it is really unwise to guard the two places separately."

Liu Bei's tone was firm, "Even if the entire army is wiped out, Runan must not be given up."

Sun Qian let out a long sigh and said nothing, while Zhang Fei gritted his teeth secretly, hating Cao Cao.

Cai Hao stared at Shangcai City with a gloomy face. The Jingzhou Army lost nearly a thousand people in successive attacks, but Shangcai City was still intact.

The eyes of all the princes of the Central Plains are focused on Yuzhou. Liu Biao of Jingzhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and Guo Da with yellow scarves, even Yuan Shu of Yangzhou, couldn't bear the loneliness. He sent his general Ji Ling to lead 1 troops to Yuzhou, hoping to take advantage of the chaos.

Guo Fei firmly guarded Shangcai, Jingzhou army could not advance an inch, the Yellow Turban Army was slightly weaker than Jingzhou Army, but it had a good location, Cai Mao had difficulty attacking the city wall for a while, and the Yellow Turban Army in the city was also completely mobilized by Guo Fei. The Jingzhou army attacked the city wall several times, but they all returned without success.

Cai Mao is the number one general in Jingzhou, but facing such a fortified city, he still feels a little tricky. Now the army lacks the support of siege equipment. Liu Biao's purpose is to capture Runan by surprise. It is said that the Yellow Turban is at war with the Yuzhou army, so there is no time at all. Taking into account other places, there is a hero like Guo Fei in the Yellow Turban Army.

If you can't do it in the open, you will come in the dark. Anyway, there are only a few thousand Yellow Turban defenders in the city, while the Jingzhou Army has more than 1 horses.

The siege battle was in full swing. Under the cover of chariots, the Jingzhou army began to dig tunnels, intending to attack Shangcai from the bottom of the city and seize the city.

Half a month later, Pingyu, which had been besieged for more than a month, was finally broken by the Yellow Turbans. Guan Yu took advantage of the chaos and led his troops to break out of the encirclement and fled back to Peiguo. Guo Da had a happy smile on his face.

As for Shangcai City where Guo Fei is located, the siege battle has also entered the final stage. The Jingzhou Army once again boarded the city wall and firmly occupied it, creating an opportunity for Pao Ze behind him to ascend the city. The Yellow Turban Army vowed to fight back.

Suddenly, in the city of Shangcai, there was a sound of fighting. It turned out that the Jingzhou army had dug a tunnel and entered the city. The yellow scarf army who was caught off guard was killed by the Jingzhou army. , the Jingzhou army filed in.

Seeing that the situation was over, Guo Fei on the city led his soldiers out of the encirclement with a livid face, and rushed to Guo Da in Pingyu.

Before the arrival of the Jingzhou Army, Pingyu was captured, and the Yellow Turban Army had achieved its strategic goal. Instead of being blamed, Guo Fei was rewarded by Guo Da when he returned.

Jia Rong, who was far away in Chang'an, smiled when he saw the information in his hands, and captured the grassland. The construction of the city is at a critical moment. If the princes of the Central Plains raise troops to invade, it will be extremely detrimental to the development of the Xiliang Army. Jia Rong believes that as long as one year In a short period of time, the three cities on the grassland can begin to see their scale. With cement, these cities can be very strong without being too thick. Soldiers on the grassland are not good at attacking the city. Herdsmen gather together to live, which is convenient for governance.

The Xianlian Pavilion in Yuzhou has long been an empty shell under Jia Rong's order, and its personnel can retreat at any time. It has developed for many years. With the help of Xianlian Pavilion, the intelligence system of the Xiliang Army has already been perfected. , still able to grasp the latest developments in Yuzhou.

A road leading to the grassland is being built, and the material used is cement. The captured Xianbei slaves work day and night, only to ensure that they have enough food and clothing. Behind them are soldiers with long whips. Slack and unrestrained soldiers, although the Xiliang army settled the grassland peacefully, the fate of these captives was tragic, and it also sounded the alarm for all the tribes on the grassland. What's more, the tribes of the grasslands who are now weak.

Yuan Shao of Jizhou and Gongsun Zan of Youzhou confronted each other in Yi County. The two armies fought each other for more than a month, and they both stood still.

There was a short period of tranquility in Yuzhou. Liu Biao in Jingzhou occupied the land of three counties. In Shangcai City, he was in a stalemate with the Yellow Turban. Captured four counties, but did not invade again. The other four counties were all occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

The people in Yuzhou were already in panic. The princes fought endlessly, but it was the people who suffered in the end. The displaced people fled to Jingzhou, Xuzhou and other places that were not affected by the war. Rebel with head on waistband.

Seeing the chaos in Yuzhou, Sun Ce sent troops from Jingzhou and led his elite soldiers to attack Jiangxia. Jiangxia fell.

The Jiangdong army is brave and good at fighting, and the Jingzhou army is also elite. The two armies are in a stalemate in Jiangxia. The one who sent the army this time is Huang Zu, the general of the Jingzhou army. He is quite strategic and skilled in martial arts. Attack the city wall.

Except for Xuzhou, all the princes of the Central Plains fell into war.

In the second year of Xingping, under the leadership of Cao Ren, the Yanzhou Army sent troops to Qiao County.

The flames of war made life difficult for the people in Yuzhou. There was a heavy snowfall in winter, and countless people froze to death and frostbitten. The warehouses were empty. Liu Bei borrowed food and grass from Tao Qian in Xuzhou to barely survive the winter.

Cao Cao's Yanzhou army was indeed extremely elite. Where could the Yuzhou army be an opponent? Cao Ren fought all the way to Qiao County.

The Yanzhou army moved, and all forces in Yuzhou moved.

After occupying the four counties, the Jingzhou Army went to Pingyu City after a short rest, intending to regain the governance rights of Runan.

A Guo Fei even gave Cai Mao a headache, let alone the world-famous Guo Dahu.

Guo Da repeatedly ordered his generals to lead the soldiers to fight the Jingzhou army in turn. Both sides suffered casualties.

Liu Bei can't be happy now. If he had listened to Sun Gan and abandoned Runan County at the beginning, at least he could have 2 troops now, and Guan Yu's troops were all elite soldiers.

The situation turned completely passive, and Liu Bei could only secretly regret it.

At this time, the battle for Jiangxia is also in full swing. Sun Ce's troops are all elite soldiers from Jiangdong, and Liu Biao's Jingzhou army is also a heroic army. Especially Huang Zu, the prefect of Jiangxia appointed by Liu Biao, wants to take back the Jiangxia, after all, the Jiangdong army is a guest army, and the transportation of food and grass is mostly inconvenient, and the water thieves are rampant on the river. Behind the Jingzhou army is the base camp. The Jiangdong army is like a rootless duckweed. After looting, the army left Jiangxia.

Occupying most of Runan County, Guo Da is full of confidence. Cao Ren has sent troops to Qiao County to compete with Liu Bei for the control of Peiguo. right.

In Shangcai City, the offensive and defensive forces are different. The Jingzhou Army, which used to play an offensive role, has become the defender. Thirty thousand Yellow Turbans are stationed outside Shangcai City, attacking day and night. With the supplement of Yuzhou siege equipment, the Yellow Turbans broke out a powerful fighting power.

Going to Yuzhou to fight, there was a shortage of food and grass, Cai Mao was also short of breath, Liu Biao was fighting with the Jiangdong Army at this time, and he was unable to bear the huge consumption, and the situation in Yuzhou had stabilized, so it was difficult to take advantage of it. Order Cai Mao to stick to Shangcai City and not to fight the Yellow Turban.

At this time, there were still more than 1 Jingzhou troops in Shangcai City. Cai Mao was a well-known general in Jingzhou. Facing the attack of the Yellow Turbans, he ordered the soldiers to resist in an orderly manner. The city walls were gradually strengthened, and the Yellow Turbans did not take advantage of it .

Zhang Han led [-] soldiers to help, and the strength of the Yellow Turban Army rose again. Not only that, Zhang Han also brought siege equipment.

The Yellow Turban Army that appeared below the city naturally did not escape Cai Mao's sight. Cai Mao was not at all anxious about this protracted war. The governor of Jiangxia appointed by Liu Biao made Cai Mao a little unhappy. The former governor of Jiangxia was a member of the Cai family. After Sun Ce attacked Jiangxia, the governor died in battle. Huang Zu appointed by Liu Biao was secretly under the command of Kuai Yue. Cai Mao never understood What Liu Biao means is that since Jia Rong’s incident in Jingzhou, Liu Biao has suppressed the Cai family in many ways, and the Cai family’s control in the military has become less and less, and the Jiang Xia incident has made the strength of the Cai family and the Kuai family a little bit. The sons are divided.

The 5000 men led by Zhang Han are Guo Da's capital for many years. Every soldier is strong and desperate to fight, and the martial arts of these soldiers are also selected from nearly 20 yellow scarves. Yes, he was the main force of the attack, and repeatedly attacked the city wall. If the Jingzhou army had not strong soldiers and excellent armor, he might have been driven out of Shangcai City by the Yellow Turban Army.

Guo Da attaches great importance to the elite Yellow Turbans. He is equipped with the best weapons and armor, and even has the best food on weekdays. He also hopes to drive the Jingzhou Army out of Yuzhou and take the opportunity to restore its strength.

The next day, Zhang Han led a thousand Yellow Turban troops to provoke the Jingzhou army, and he also led two hundred cavalry out of the city.

"Report, the Yellow Turban Army is inviting a battle outside the city!" The messenger walked into Cai Mao's big tent and said.

Cai Mao frowned slightly. Although the two sides had experienced field battles many times before, but at this time when the Yellow Turban Army's offensive was in full swing, they led troops to invite them to fight.

"Explore again!" Cai Mao said lightly.

"Send an order to let all the generals in the army come to the big tent of the Chinese army!"

The news that the Yellow Turban was inviting a battle outside the city spread throughout the Jingzhou army camp. He took a deep breath and wanted to regain his face. How could the Jingzhou Army, which has always boasted of being an elite, not be angry.

"The Yellow Turban Army behaved abnormally and even invited to fight. What do you think?"
