The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 213

The Han army retreated at Mingjin, and reorganized the defeated soldiers.

The Battle of Fenshui ended with the defeat of the Han army. The camp of the Han army was filled with suffocating dullness.
In the camp of the Han army on the south bank of Fenshui, in the tent of the Chinese army where Yuan Pang was located, there were no noisy human voices, only the crackling sound of burning charcoal in the charcoal brazier.

Yuan Pang sat at the desk without saying a word, staring blankly at the burning charcoal in the charcoal brazier.

The defeat in the first battle of crossing the river made Yuan Pang feel uneasy. Although there are many places where the river can be crossed on the Fenshui line, and the Yellow Turban army has few soldiers, it is also feasible to divide the troops to cross the river from other places.

But the new victory of the Yellow Turban Army is just like a rainbow at this time, and the strength displayed by the Yellow Turban Army now is far stronger than what Yuan Pang knew before.

It seems to be far more difficult than Yuan Pang imagined to defeat the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An.

Yuan Pang's follow-up actions were indeed calculated by Yan Zhong.

The Han army, which had been hit by the thunder, stopped advancing. Yuan Pang's prestige in the army was also affected because of the loss of troops in the Battle of Fenshui.

The Battle of Fenshui also affected the Hedong Wei family, the army Sima Weiping, and many of the Wei family's children died in Changyuandu.

The Battle of Changyuandu was mostly a trilogy composed of powerful private soldiers from Hedong County, and most of the losses were lost, which naturally made these powerful families in Hedong County feel pained.

Yuan Pang also knew that it would be difficult to command these powerful families any more.

The combat power under his command was first lost by six thousand in the Battle of Fen Shui, but now these powerful families have lost more than three or four thousand.

I am afraid that the county soldiers in Hedong County will be difficult to command.

……

Zhongping four years, March [-]th.

The Han army, which had been silent for a long time, finally took action.

Wang Yi led [-] troops to guard the south bank of the Fenshui River, and Yuan Pang led [-] troops to march northward to Jiangyi City.

Jiangyi City is located to the east of the mainstream of Fenshui River and north of the Huihe River.

The Huihe River is a tributary of the Fenshui River, and its water volume is much smaller than that of the Fenshui River, so there are more places for transition.

Ti Qi of the Eagle Wolf Guard quickly reported the actions of the Han army to Xu An. When Xu An saw the terrain around Changyuandu, he had the idea of ​​building a fortress.

So as early as February this year, he quickly sent a letter to He Man, asking He Man to build a camp.

It has been more than ten days now, and the camp has begun to take shape. After finding out the general size of the Han army on the south bank, Xu An left more than [-] soldiers and handed them over to He Man.

He took the remaining [-] people to the east to intercept the main force of the Han army led by Yuan Pang.

March eighteenth.

Yuan Pang led the Han army to cross the Wei River, and Xu An intercepted the main force of the Han army led by Yuan Pang with Lu Bu and Xu Huang as the vanguard.

But this time the Yellow Turban Army did not win again.

The brave Sanhe knights on the plain and the long water cavalry who were good at shooting firmly protected the two wings of the Han army.

Yuan Pang was already prepared at this time, and the same strategies and plans had no effect on him.

The main force of the Han army was the imperial infantry, and the cavalry of Sanhe and Changshui were the wings, and they won successive battles.

After three days of fierce fighting, although Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Song Xian, Wei Xu and other generals were all brave generals, they were still no match for the hordes of well-trained Sanhe knights and Changshui Huqi who were good at shooting.

The cavalry of the Yellow Turban Army suffered nearly [-] casualties in just three days.

This was just a wandering fight, and no large-scale cavalry confrontation broke out.

Even with Lu Bu and a group of brave cavalry, the Yellow Turban Army still suffered heavy casualties.

The main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An was gradually compressed by the cavalry of the Han Army around Jiangyi City, unable to move.

As time passed slowly, the pressure in Xu An's heart didn't disappear, but instead increased.

On March [-], another encounter broke out outside Jiangyi City.

Lu Bu led the remaining [-] armed heavy cavalry, and under Xu An's order, they went out of the city to attack the forward of the Sanhe cavalry.

When Lu Bu had just achieved some results, Hu Qi from Changshui joined the battlefield. If it weren't for the amazing protection of the iron armor with the basin collar, Lu Bu might have been shot dead by Hu Qi on the spot.

Xu Huang and other generals also brought their cavalry into the battlefield, and the battle intensified.

The forward troops of the Han army and the elite troops of the Yellow Turban Army got entangled and fell into a fierce battle.

Later, the Imperial Guards from the Infantry Battalion also joined the battle. Xu An sent the Yellow Angels to charge the formation, but they failed to break through the formation of the Imperial Guards from the Infantry Battalion. On the contrary, more than [-] Yellow Angels were killed and injured, and more than a hundred Yellow Turbans were also killed. the soldiers.

In this battle, An may have clearly realized that although his current power looks strong, it is still far from the powerful Han Empire.

The cavalry of Sanhe, the Hu cavalry of Changshui, and the imperial infantry, the elite combat effectiveness of these Han troops is simply terrifying.

At this time, the Han Empire was caught in the predicament of fighting on multiple fronts. There were still ten servants in the imperial court who were greedy for extravagance and money, and their troops were stretched.

During the time of Guangzong and Xia Quyang, although Xu An also encountered these imperial guards in the center of the Han Empire, he had never really fought at all, regardless of being a member of thousands of soldiers on the battlefield.

Now in Jiangyi City, he fought against the forbidden army of the two schools and the brave Sanhe knight again, but he fell into a disadvantage in an instant.

……

On the city wall of Jiangyi City, countless yellow flags fluttered and fluttered under the blowing of the cold wind.

Xu An stood on the battlements of the city wall, looking at the Han army camp in the distance like a fiery red maple forest.

It was already April [-]rd, and Yingwei's Tiqi also brought some news from Liangzhou that Geng Zhi, the governor of Liangzhou, seemed to be mobilizing an army to attack Han Sui.

Now the entire area of ​​Liangzhou that is still controlled by the Han Empire is in full swing and gathering towards the place where Geng Zhi is located.

Yicheng in the east of Jiangyi City was captured by the Han army led by Yuan Pang as early as seven days ago.

The Han army on the south bank of Fenshui also landed from Jiting and other places under the mobilization of Wang Yi, and then joined forces to surround He Man who was stationed on the north bank of Fenshui.

The balance of Hedong County seems to be tilting towards the Han army.

But at this moment, a travel-worn messenger galloped into Jiangyi City, bringing news from the north.

"Report to the great virtuous teacher."

The messenger's face was full of excitement, and he spoke impassionedly.

"Pingyang City has fallen, and General Zhang Yan is leading troops south!"

Xu An was taken aback for a moment, then he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Pingyang City, which had been stalemate for more than a month, finally fell, and the Yellow Turban Army's troops in the North were completely liberated.

It seems that the Han army is destined to lose troops this time, but it will not gain anything.

Everything north of Fenshui is in its nest!

Xu An turned his head to look to the west, the wheel of history was turning slowly, and the biggest turmoil in Liangzhou was about to happen.

The Han Empire will completely lose control of Liangzhou in this short period of one month.
