Chapter 122: Continued Fierce Battle
Zhang Yu led his men to attack, and the cavalry pierced through the middle of the yellow scarf, splitting them in two.
The powerful combat power is not comparable to these yellow scarves who have only been training for a few days.
The yellow turban's line of defense was easily torn apart, and the cavalry began to criss-cross the yellow turban's formation.
Then the infantry also arrived, and the already chaotic Yellow Turban was half-surrounded by the infantry and started a massacre.
Originally, these yellow scarves were already exhausted, because they fought with the officers and soldiers for two hours and suffered heavy casualties. Zhang Yu and the others suddenly broke into the battlefield and defeated them.
Zhang Jiao, who had been paying attention to the battle situation on the top of the city, saw this scene, and he knew that the Yellow Turban was over.
However, there are only more than 10,000 Yellow Turbans left on this road, which is not very important to Zhang Jiao.
Of the 100,000 yellow scarves, after two hours of the battle, only about 50,000 remained, and half of them died in the battle.
Zhang Yu and the others ate all the yellow scarves without much effort.
When Zhang Yu was about to eat them all, Zhang Jiao ordered the troops to withdraw.
The Yellow Turbans at the other three city gates retreated at the same time, and the Yellow Turbans attacked by Zhang Yu were surrounded by Zhang Yu and the others at this time, and they couldn't retreat even if they wanted to.
Seeing that the timing was almost the same, Zhang Yu began to make an emergency landing on these yellow turbans, and finally made an emergency landing of more than two thousand yellow turbans, returning victorious.
After the war, after the madness, the battlefield returned to calm.
"Haha, my lord, it's so cool, I wiped out more than 10,000 yellow scarves at once." Dian Wei said happily after killing him happily.
"Brother Zhang, if we pick peaches like this and let the officers and soldiers do the hard work, I'm afraid they will hate you to death." Huang Zhong said with a joke.
Zhang Yu smiled and didn't care.
What he did was indeed picking peaches. He could easily eat more than 10,000 yellow scarves because they had fought hard with the army for a long time.
However, Zhang Yu's relationship with those officers and soldiers was mediocre, and even Huangfusong was on guard against him for other reasons.
Zhang Yu and the others came back with a big victory, but the official army did not have a good time.
In Huangfu Song's big tent, all the generals were called to discuss matters.
"General Huangfu, according to the statistics of each battalion, we lost more than 16,000 horses in this battle, which can be described as a heavy loss." A lieutenant general said to Huangfusong.
Huangfu Song had a gloomy face, he was unprepared for the large-scale battle of the Yellow Turbans this time, and their madness was beyond his expectation.
The 100,000 Yellow Turbans, despite their low combat effectiveness, also dealt them a heavy blow.
Thousands of them were killed by the elite led by Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang.
The Yellow Turbans hid the elite among them, and one of them was suddenly attacked without noticing, and the loss was very great.
After listening to the report, Huangfusong said: "The reason why the Yellow Turbans play so crazy is because they have a large number of people. They consume our elite with ordinary Yellow Turbans. If we let them succeed, we will be very dangerous."
Although the Yellow Turbans lost about 60,000 people, the official army only lost more than 16,000, but this was a disastrous defeat for the official army.
"The battalions must continue to strengthen their camps, defend well, and prepare more arrows. If the Yellow Turbans continue to use this style of attack next time, they can't lose so much, otherwise we will definitely lose in the end." Huangfusong said.
Then Huangfusong made specific arrangements for specific tasks, setting up all the camps.
After some arrangements, if the arrangement is completed, even if the Yellow Turbans send a large army to attack next time, the loss will not be so great.
"General Huangfu, this Zhang Yu went too far. During the battle, he was nowhere to be seen. When the two sides were almost fighting, he came out to pick peaches." A general came out and said without anger.
"General Yuan, no matter what, Zhang Yu wiped out more than 10,000 yellow scarves, which is a credit to the court." Huangfusong said helplessly.
He also knew that Zhang Yu's actions would be annoying, but Huangfusong had to reconcile the two sides in front of the enemy.
Huangfusong knew better that this general surnamed Yuan was called Yuan Zhan, and he was a collateral branch of the Yuan family.
Zhang Yu completely offended Yuan's family in Yecheng, so Yuan Zhan naturally couldn't understand Zhang Yu.
After Yuan Zhan spoke out, several other generals also began to attack Zhang Yu.
"General Huangfu, Zhang Yu should take care of what he did.
"
"That's right, we can't let us fight tough battles, but all the credit goes to him."
"This Zhang Yu must share part of the Yellow Turban just like us, and let them also be stationed outside the city to defend with us."
Several of Huangfusong's subordinates attacked Zhang Yu together, which made Huangfusong a little worried.
Zhang Yu was not under Huangfusong's control, and Huangfusong could not directly order Zhang Yu, so Huangfusong was also in a dilemma.
At this time, all Huangfusong's generals were dissatisfied with Zhang Yu, and Huangfusong was also in a difficult situation.
In the end, Huangfu Song suppressed the matter for the time being.
But Huangfusong was also very worried.
The next day, the Yellow Turbans still fought on a large scale early in the morning.
At this time there were still 100,000 yellow scarves, of which Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang each brought 10,000 elite soldiers.
It's just that this time Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang didn't mix elite soldiers with them, but followed behind with elite soldiers.
The two sides continued to fight.
This time the officers and soldiers changed their strategy, and the Yellow Turbans also changed their approach.
The officers and soldiers defended tightly and attacked with a large number of arrows, causing the Yellow Turbans to suffer a lot.
However, the Yellow Turban still made a desperate impact, using human life to create gaps one by one.
When the Yellow Turban couldn't hold on, or was counterattacked by the officers and soldiers, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang immediately attacked to stabilize the situation.
It was another day of war. After this day's war, the losses of both sides were not as great as the day before.
More than 30,000 Yellow Turbans died in battle, and more than 4,000 officials and soldiers died in battle.
After this battle, Zhang Jiao was quite satisfied with the results.
But Huangfusong was very worried.
The two lost more than 20,000 people. Even if the loss was much smaller today, what they lost was elite soldiers, while what the Yellow Turbans lost was the Yellow Turbans who had just entered.
In two days, the Yellow Turbans lost 70,000 to 80,000 people, and a large area of the city was vacated.
Greatly relieved the pressure in the city.
However, Zhang Jiao still did not intend to stop, and still sent a large army to fight on the third day.
On a low slope, Zhang Yu and his men were watching the battle.
"My lord, we really didn't intend to go to war. What a great opportunity, if we make a surprise attack, we can at least eat another 10,000 people." Dian Wei said.
"Don't worry, Zhicai will be here soon, and we will go out when he arrives and we have enough troops to consume."
Let Zhang Yu use these elite soldiers trained with great difficulty to fight against ordinary yellow scarves, he is still very reluctant.
What's more, the morale of the Yellow Turban is at its peak at this time, and Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang are each bringing 10,000 elite soldiers to prepare. If they go out to battle at this time, they will definitely lose a lot.
On the third day, the situation was the same, the Yellow Turbans still attacked frantically.
Huangfusong was under great pressure. Although the casualties did not increase on the third day, the casualties were not small.
Huangfusong wanted to send a large army to attack and defeat the Yellow Turban in one fell swoop, but Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang behind him would immediately step forward to support them if they saw signs of it.
You can't defeat them, you can only fight with them slowly.
Huangfu Song couldn't afford it.
On the third day, Zhang Yu still didn't make a move.
But on the third day, Xi Zhi arrived with his troops.
"Haha, Zhicai, you are finally here, what good things did you bring this time?" Zhang Yu asked with a smile.
