Chapter 66 Attack on the Yellow Turban Camp

Zhang Liang underestimated the fighting power of Liu Guanzhang and the Han army. Liu Guanzhang, who was ambushed, fought back and joined the incoming Han army!

Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Army gradually collapsed due to being attacked by the Han army. Some of the Yellow Turban Army had already turned around and fled. Zhang Liang saw that the situation was not good and had to retreat.

Even if it is an ambush, it still depends on who the target of the ambush is and whether there are reinforcements.

Chu Tian chopped down a yellow scarf soldier, and blood splashed on his face. The smell of blood made him feel irritated and his breathing became a little short.

He was riding a war horse, holding the Wu Zhan Dao captured from the Yellow Turban general Zhang Kai, and together with Hua Mulan and the Xia Town light cavalry, he pursued the Yellow Turban soldiers.

The fleeing Yellow Turban soldiers had their backs exposed, and the cavalry could easily chase them down.

Two legs cannot outrun four legs.

The lords with cavalry quickly expanded their victory, and a large number of Yellow Turban troops fell on the way to escape.

Prince Yan, the lord of Youzhou, had faster cavalry and won military honors.

Chu Tian finally noticed this lord from Youzhou. He seemed to be a player who made a lot of money. In fact, the lord with more than 200 cavalry was already the best among all the players.

The existence of the military merit system drove many lords into madness. In order to obtain official positions and rewards from the Han Dynasty, they had to take risks and bravely kill the enemy.

The more achievements you have in battle, the more rewards you will receive.

The Han army kept chasing Zhang Liang's Yellow Turban Army and drove Zhang Liang back to the Yellow Turban Army camp.

"Open the village gate!"

The Yellow Turban general guarding the gate of the Yellow Turban Army Camp hurriedly led a group of Yellow Turban soldiers to open the wooden city gate and meet Zhang Liang.

Zhang Liang looked a little embarrassed. Liu Guan, Zhang and the Sanhe cavalry were more powerful than he expected. They were clearly ambushing the Han army, but they were chased and killed by the Han army.

Zhang Liang returned to the camp with the yellow scarf leader and immediately shouted: "Close the city gate!"

"But General, there are still brothers outside the city..."

"Obey the military order! If you don't close the city gate immediately, once the officers and soldiers come in, everyone will be killed!"

Zhang Liang calmed down, and the heavy wooden door of the Yellow Turban Army camp began to close, and some of the Yellow Turban soldiers who had no time to escape into the camp were blocked outside the wooden door. The Han army wiped out the Yellow Turban Army in front of the Yellow Turban Army's camp, and the Yellow Turban Army in the camp

But there is nothing we can do.

"The insurrectionary army is an insurrectionary army after all. As long as the imperial army does not lose its combat effectiveness, it is impossible to resist the officers and soldiers."

Chu Tian followed the Han army until they reached the edge of the bow and arrow range of the Yellow Turban camp, and then stopped.

Zhou Yafu's infantry were like hedgehogs, and Hua Mulan brought a halo of friendly forces, so the losses in this battle were very small. Hua Mulan's cavalry was responsible for the pursuit and brought a lot of military exploits to Chu Tian.

Liu Sandao's archers also killed many Yellow Turbans, and all these military achievements were attributed to Chu Tian.

"Capture the Yellow Turban camp and destroy the Yellow Turban thieves!"

The Han Army's Sima gathered 38,000 people and made a concerted effort to take advantage of the declining morale of the Yellow Turban Army and prepare to wipe out the Yellow Turban Army camp in one fell swoop.

Liu Bei was ambushed by Zhang Liang. Although Zhang Liang was repelled by the bravery of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei and the strength of the Sanhe cavalry, Liu Bei was hit by an arrow in the shoulder. Han army doctors helped Liu Bei heal his injuries.

The Han army, who was preparing to storm the Yellow Turban camp, plundered the Yellow Turban army's simple ladders and distributed the simple ladders to some lords.

Chutian was assigned two ladders.

This was the first time Xia Zhen attacked a camp defended by wooden walls and arrow towers.

Attacking a city is more difficult than defending it, so Zhou Yafu was determined not to let Chu Tian participate in the siege.

The battlefield is full of stray arrows, as well as stones, wood, and kerosene. As a lord, if Chu Tian personally led his troops to attack the city, he would probably be killed by the defenders.

Therefore, in ancient times, most monarchs would not take risks to attack a city by themselves. The first generals to attack a city were all fierce generals who would really take the risk of death to bring their troops up.

In order to boost morale, a general or a low- to mid-level officer must personally lead the soldiers to attack the city.

Chu Tian wanted to choose the officers to attack the city.

During this Yellow Turban Rebellion, Chutian was accumulating experience from defending the city to attacking it.

In previous village battles, there was no need to even use ladders. The generals and soldiers could just focus on attacking the opponent's village entrance. Large-scale battles were different from the small-scale battles that Xia Town had experienced in the past.

"My lord, let me lead my troops to attack the Yellow Turban camp."

Hua Mulan volunteered.

"You and Gongsun Wu are ready."

Considering that there were really no qualified candidates, Chu Tian could only send Hua Mulan and a silver-level general as siege officers.

The Han army and various lords are also quickly preparing siege teams.

More than 4,000 soldiers served as the first offensive echelon, and the second offensive echelon was also ready.

"Zhang Fei wants to be the first to ascend!"

There was a commotion among the players in the Han camp, and Liu Bei sent Zhang Fei to lead the Han army to attack the Yellow Turban camp.

A fierce general whose strength may exceed 95 went into battle in person, and the siege was stable this time.

"You must be careful. Even if you cannot capture the Yellow Turban Army's camp, you must save your life and come back alive."

Chu Tian warned Hua Mulan and Gongsun Wu.

They will lead a small group of infantry to attack the city, while Liu Sandao will lead the Xia Town archers to provide cover for the rain of arrows.

Zhou Yafu led the infantry to prevent the Yellow Turban Army from counterattacking in the camp.

The drums of the Han army sounded. Zhang Fei and two military princes led 2,000 Han troops and 2,000 rebels to prepare for the attack, using more than a hundred simple flying ladders.

The change of offensive and defensive positions was too fast. Except for attacking the main city of Guangzong County, the Han army in other camps did not have ladder trucks, siege towers, rams, catapults and other heavy siege equipment, and could only use flying ladders.

Groups of well-disciplined Han archers came forward. They were well-equipped and carried arrow pots on their backs. Among the Han archers were soldiers from the Shesheng Battalion of the Fifth School of the Northern Army of the Han Dynasty.

The middle and lower-ranking officers of the Han army personally led the troops and took archers to suppress the Yellow Turban Army on the city wall.

Liu Sandao sent by Xia Zhen was also suppressing the Yellow Turban Army archers.

Arrows rained down from both sides, the wooden city walls were filled with arrows, and hundreds of archers were killed.

Zhang Fei changed into a suit of iron armor, and his burly figure made the iron armor tighten.

"Follow me to the city wall and kill the thieves!"

Zhang Fei shouted loudly, and his own morale increased greatly, while the Yellow Turban Army was shocked and their morale dropped greatly!

"Is this Zhang Fei's characteristic?"

Chu Tian noticed the bonus Zhang Fei gave to the army.

Generally speaking, the exclusive characteristics of imperial-level generals are not weak.

Zhang Fei is still an ally now, but if he becomes an enemy in the future, it may be very difficult. Chu Tian also wants to know as much as possible the characteristics, abilities, and personality of any historical general.

Zhang Tie, the commander of the Han army, encouraged everyone at the right time: "The first one to climb will be rewarded with 800 points of military merit and 100 taels of silver!"

For a moment, everyone was excited and gearing up, even Liu Bei was a little moved.

The military merit obtained by the cavalry led by Liu Bei does not belong entirely to him, but from Lu Zhi's troops. He needs more military merit to become the Prime Minister of Pingyuan.

Liu Bei placed his hope on Zhang Fei: "Third brother, try your best to board first."
