The World of Yellow Sky

Chapter 706
In the city of Chengdu, the sounds of shouting and killing, howling, and clashes of weapons have already intertwined into one piece.

Streets and alleys, and market places have become battlegrounds. One after another, blood pooled together and slowly flowed to the low sides of the road, converging into a puddle of blood.

Above and below the city, there are soldiers who are fighting bloody battles.

The darkness makes combat particularly difficult, and the appearance and movements of the enemy must be seen clearly with the help of firelight.

Even with a torch and a brazier shining, it is still difficult to spread throughout the audience.

But even if the light was lost, the soldiers on both sides still stabbed fiercely forward with the guns in their hands without hesitation.

The trapped beasts before were Dongzhou soldiers, but now the trapped beasts are Yizhou soldiers. When they had to fight desperately, they and Dongzhou soldiers were already in an endless situation.

And they didn't even know that the Yellow Turban Army came from Guanzhong. They thought it was the Yellow Turban Army from Yizhou. Although they felt wrong in their hearts, what Shangguan told them was the Yellow Turban Army from Yizhou. They could only choose to believe it. .

When they defeated the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, they often chopped off the heads of those moth thieves in exchange for military merits and rewards. The Yizhou Yellow Turban Army said they were allies, but they all knew that they might fall into the hands of the Yizhou Yellow Turban Army The end was not much better than falling into the hands of Dongzhou soldiers.

"call out----"

"call out----"

"call out----"

The strange sharp sound lasted almost a moment, and the sharp sound seemed to be transformed into a real needle, constantly piercing their eardrums, keeping the nerves of the generals of the Yizhou Army in a tense state. The state magnifies the fear in their hearts.

The whistle sounded not only from one side, but from several different directions, suddenly coming from all directions.

"Steady the front line, reinforcements will arrive soon, as long as we hold on for another day, our reinforcements will come from Jiangyuan, and then these moth thieves and Dongzhou dogs will not be a problem!"

A Sima of the Yizhou Army shouted loudly. He rode on a horse and kept running, trying his best to stabilize the front line.

His words also played a role. The soldiers of the Yizhou Army who were originally panicked heard his vowed assurances, and their morale, which was originally low, also picked up a little.

They gathered again, clenched their spears tightly, raised their tower shields, and once again formed a tight formation to resist the enemy troops that kept coming in like a tide.

They stubbornly resisted the enemy's attack in the city, but they were ignorant of what happened at the city gate.

At the east gate of Chengdu, more than [-] cavalrymen filled the entire area of ​​the gate to the brim, making it almost impossible to move.

Ren Xian turned his head and took one last look in the direction of Nancheng.

Above the city tower in Nancheng, the only large khaki flag in the Yellow Turban Army was fluttering in the wind.

"Open the gate."

Ren Xian withdrew his gaze, and his eyes became cold again.

As soon as his words fell, the closed gate of Dongcheng slowly opened in front of everyone's eyes accompanied by dust and unpleasant voices.

Outside the door, it was pitch black.

The city gate is wide open, the gate wall is on the side, but the front is hard to see at all, as if there is a big mouth of an ancient beast that is terrifying.

The inside of the city was full of turmoil, but the outside of the city was silent, not even the sound of birds and beasts could be heard, and the old crow that had been crowing before didn't know where it flew to now.

Ren Xian pulled the rein lightly, looked at Gan Ning, nodded slightly, the horse under him neighed, and shook its head uneasily.

Gan Ning didn't say a word, he retracted his gaze, stared forward, and gently held the horse's belly.

The sound of horseshoes sounded hurriedly, Gan Ning was wearing a Shu brocade battle robe, holding a long halberd and stepped into the corridor of the city gate first.

Then a large number of horseshoes sounded, jumping back and forth between the corridors of the city gate, passing continuously.

Bunch after bunch of torches illuminated the corridor of the city gate, and also illuminated the road ahead of Gan Ning.

"Ugh——"

A low horn sounded.

This time the horn sounded by the Yizhou Army was far less enthusiastic than before.

"Set off."

Ren Xian kicked the horse's belly, took the spear from the guard beside him, and also stepped into the corridor of the East City Gate.

……

"It's just that I miscalculated the strength of the Yizhou Army and the Dongzhou Army."

Xu An put down the binoculars in his hand, and none of Ren Xian's actions could hide from his eyes.

He really just wanted Lei Tong to lead the Dongzhou soldiers to make noise, and then the Yellow Turban Army would attack. Without the defense of the city wall, it was absolutely impossible for the Yizhou Army to block the attack of the Yellow Turban Army.

In Xu An's view, if there is no city wall, the tens of thousands of Yizhou troops are just a few charges.

He watched the Yizhou army attack the city with his own eyes in the woods, and he understood the combat power of the Yizhou army to some extent.

But in this world, the most difficult thing to recognize is people.

Are Dongzhou soldiers weak?Dongzhou's soldiers were weak, how could they defeat the victorious army led by Jia Long and Ren Qi when they outnumbered the enemy by several times?
Dongzhou's soldiers are weak, how can Liu Yan rely on them to suppress a group of powerful families in Yizhou, and he can't breathe.

One general is incompetent, and the three armies will be exhausted, and the general will be courageous.

In fact, Liu Yan had lost his fighting spirit a long time ago. As a coach, he did not have the fighting spirit. Such an atmosphere imperceptibly affected the generals and schools under his command, and also imperceptibly affected the soldiers of Dongzhou soldiers.

If it was the Dongzhou soldiers a few years ago, even if they were smaller than the opponent, how could they dare not go out of the city to fight bloody.

In the battle of Chengdu, Liu Yan was in charge of the Chinese army and commanded the army from beginning to end.

But a few years ago, Dong Zhuo sent Zhao Qian to send troops to the state, and told the school lieutenants Jia Long and Ren Qi to lead troops to attack Liu Yan.

Liu Yan personally led the Dongzhou soldiers, recruited Qingqiang soldiers to fight with them in the field, defeated the Yizhou coalition forces in the first battle, killed Jia Long and Ren Qi, and took a group of rebel generals into custody.

Follow the example above and below, Liu Yan has the heart to dare to die, and Dongzhou soldiers also have the intention to die.

At that time, although Liu Yan was old, he still had vigor. He had just entered Yizhou, and his ambition had not been wiped out by the sensuality of Yizhou, and his great ambition had not been wiped out by the ruthless reality.

Now, Liu Yan is dead, the Yellow Turban Army has taken over Mianzhu, and everything about Dongzhou soldiers is in the hands of the Yellow Turban Army.

Both Lei Tong and Wu Ban took the shot at each other, put on their perseverance, and already had the will to die, and the Dongzhou soldiers they led also regained their sharpness.

Facing the Dongzhou soldiers charging like fierce tigers, the Yizhou Army's front quickly disintegrated.

In Nancheng, the yellow angels led by Yan Liang pierced into the hinterland of Nancheng like a sharp knife. In Nancheng today, those Yizhou soldiers who were left behind have already fallen into collapse. All the parts have been ruthlessly defeated by the yellow angels.

Few of the dead soldiers left by Ren Xian escaped the crossbows in the hands of the Yellow Angels. They only had time to ignite a few buildings before being mercilessly shot to death by the Yellow Angels. The outer guard posts were easily destroyed. Destruction, did not give them much time to set the fire, the fire did not spread at all.

The pawns led by Pound, after helping to attack a small part of the southern city, directly attacked the eastern city where the main force of the Yizhou army was located.

Yizhou has a strong army and excellent military equipment, which is only relatively speaking.

Compared with Dongzhou soldiers, compared with Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, they really need to be better armed, and they really need to have more elite soldiers.

But now their opponent is not Dongzhou soldiers, nor Yizhou Yellow Turban Army, but the Yellow Turban Army soldiers led by Pang De, which is a rare and powerful army in the world today.

The result is obvious. How can these Yizhou Army be the opponents of the Yellow Turban Army's soldiers in the dignified battle?
The defense line built by the Yizhou Army in the south of Dongcheng District was easily disintegrated in this way, and Pound did not encounter much decent resistance at all.

Nowadays, the army that can confront the Yellow Turban soldiers head-on, in addition to the sharp soldiers of the Han army, there are only a few strong troops in the Han court, such as the "Danyang soldiers", and the Yuzhou army that Sun Jian has been following him to fight. Can compete with it.

Among Wei Ting, there are only Wuwei Army and Euphorbia soldiers, and there is also the military pawn camp that can go to the camp first to confront the Yellow Turban Army.

The trap camp and the Yellow Angels in the Yellow Turban Army have already surpassed other armies. Whether it is training speed, physique and discipline, they are well-deserved tops.

The reason why the Battle of Luoyang finally withdrew from Luoyang was that the Yellow Turban Army was actually defeated by only three local garrison troops. The main force of the Yellow Turban Army led by Xu An won the final victory in every confrontation.

But tactically won, but strategically suffered setbacks.

It is true that if the cost is not considered, the Yellow Turban Army can indeed forcibly capture the Luoyang area and firmly hold the eight gates.

But for the sake of Luoyang, it is not worth losing a lot of elites.

So when Jia Xu came up with the strategy of driving the tiger to eat the wolf and the two tigers competing for food, Xu An decisively chose to give up the Luoyang area.

On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly, and no one can guarantee that he will never be defeated.

In the past, Cao Cao's hundreds of thousands of troops marched south, countless elite soldiers, counselors like clouds, and fierce generals like rain, but in the end, he was still defeated in Chibi, who would have thought of that.

Fighting on the battlefield, weather, location, people and other factors all affect the direction of the war and the final victory.

Xu An's current real elite is only [-] to [-] people.

There are [-] people in the camp, [-] yellow angels, [-] military soldiers, and [-] elite soldiers, making a total of [-] people.

The five battalions of Xiaoqi, Wuxiang, Bingzhou, Shanggu, and Xiliang each had [-] men, and the Tengxiang Guards had [-] men, making a total of [-] men.
There are a total of [-] people, which looks like a lot, but in fact, the Ruishi Battalion has [-] new recruits, and many of them don't even have full armor.

Until now, the fifth cavalry battalion of the Yellow Turban Army and the sixth battalion of the Duliao battalion have not fully equipped their armor.

There are many Yellow Turban military workshops and mines, but the productivity of this era determines the difficulty of arming an army.

After all, Taipingdao's family background is too weak. Although it has been developing rapidly in recent years, the number of craftsmen in Taipingdao is still far behind that of Wei Ting and Han Ting.

It seems that Taipingdao's army is powerful, far stronger than Wei Ting and Han Ting.

If it is a battle of battles, neither the main force of Wei Ting nor the main force of Han Ting can defeat the Yellow Turban Army.

But in this world, how can there be so many battles between battles.

The military strategists fight with each other, and they win with the right combination.

Along the way, the Yellow Turban Army has swept Liang and merged the two states with a sweeping momentum, but in fact this was carried out within strict plans and strategies.

In the land of the Central Plains, there are countless cities, and there is no danger to defend.

If he attacked rashly and captured a city, he would have to allocate part of his troops to garrison it, and the local powerful family would not give up lightly.

Facing an enemy several times larger than himself, coupled with the constant division of troops.

The Yellow Turban Army will eventually be overwhelmed and wiped out by the sea of ​​people.

It is also impossible for Taipingdao to forcibly recruit soldiers like Han Ting and Wei Ting did, and deprive the poor farmers of all the food stored in their homes, and squeeze out all their value.

Therefore, although the number of people in Taipingdao's jurisdiction is now seven to eight million, the actual food reserves it has are not many, which is not enough to support the large-scale continuous operations of the Yellow Turban Army.

War has always been complicated.

Therefore, Xu An has always been extremely cautious in making any decisions, and the Taipingdao cannot make too many mistakes.

Obtaining the greatest benefit at the least cost is what the Yellow Turban Army should do at this stage.

The family background of the Yellow Turban Army is not rich, and it is far from enough to squander.

Ma Chao on the south wall and Lu Bu on the north wall led the soldiers, advancing at an astonishing speed.

No one in the Yizhou Army could resist their attack. Although Ma Chao was young, since he joined the Yellow Turban Army, Xu An arranged him and Pang De together with Lu Bu, Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and other generals. Learn martial arts.

Today's Ma Chao and Pound are already more outstanding in martial arts than a few years ago. At this time, in the battle formation, there is no one general in the Yizhou army.

The Yizhou Army on the city wall is crumbling, and it won't be long before the entire east wall will be occupied by the Yellow Turban Army.

Of course, the reason why the Yizhou Army collapsed so quickly is also the reason why they lost their command.

They have not received orders from Ren Xian, they can only fight on their own, with little support.

They didn't know that when they were desperately resisting, their general had already escaped from Chengdu with all the cavalry under his command.

……

Listening to the sound of the wind, Gan Ning looked at the dark road ahead, his face was expressionless, his eyes were cold.

With so many soldiers abandoned in the city, does the Yizhou Army really have a chance to make a comeback?
What Ren Xian said sounds good, it seems that it is unknown to make a comeback.

But in fact, after this defeat, a large number of private soldiers and children of the powerful families in Yizhou were trapped in Chengdu.

Ren Xian, the governor of Yizhou, has actually reached his end. Even if there is a comeback, at that time, it will no longer be Ren Xian who leads the Yizhou army, but someone else will be replaced.

As for the Han Ting, the Han Ting sent [-] soldiers this time, saying it was [-], but there were no more than two to three thousand old soldiers, and the rest were recruited recruits, equipped only with spears and other weapons. There are not many of them, where there is any combat power, the confrontation between Han Ting and Wei Ting has gradually reached a fever pitch, and they are already too busy to take care of themselves, so how can they manage the affairs of Yizhou.

Gan Ning clenched the halberd in his hand, even though he had figured everything out, there was nothing he could do.

The Yellow Turban Army suddenly appeared outside the city of Chengdu like a divine soldier descending from the sky. They were obviously blocked in the north of the mountains, and they should still be in the northern border, but now they appeared in the city of Chengdu like ghosts. outside.

Could it be that there are ghosts and gods helping the Yellow Turban Army?
Gan Ning felt a little cold in his heart, among all the explanations, only this one was the most reasonable.

If the Yellow Turban Army didn't have the help of ghosts and gods, how could they quietly appear outside the city of Chengdu from the northern border thousands of miles away.

A subtle sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded in Gan Ning's ears, Gan Ning's eyes suddenly changed, and he pulled the rein suddenly.

"stop!"

The horse neighed, and Gan Ning issued the military order without hesitation.

A wild goose feather arrow appeared less than a few steps in front of the horse. If Gan Ning hadn't stopped the horse in time, the wild goose feather arrow would have stuck to his body instead of the ground.

The sharp cluster of arrows had penetrated deeply into the soil, but the feathers on the tail were still trembling slightly, which was enough to show its strength, and it might be difficult for ordinary armor to stop it.

Gan Ning withdrew his gaze from the feathered arrow on the ground, and raised his head forward, he knew that the direction of the feathered arrow was right ahead.

The wind was getting stronger, and the sound of the banners and flags fluttering in the wind appeared in everyone's ears.

Gan Ning's face was slightly condensed. The soldiers under his command did not carry too many banners, so it was impossible to make such a loud noise. What's more important, the sound of the banners fluttering was coming from the front. Come.

"Boom——"

A heavy drum sound came from the darkness ahead, and slowly spread throughout the wilderness on the outskirts of Chengdu.

Immediately afterwards, a noisy voice came from the front, as if there were thousands of troops hidden in the darkness.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The sound of the war drums this time was no longer as dull as the first one, but much faster, and the sound was much quieter, but when it stopped in the ears, it felt like countless war drums were being beaten at the same time. Noisy.

Accompanied by the sound of the drums, there were sharp and sharp sounds one after another.

Then the sound of heavy footsteps came from the darkness, as if there were tens of thousands of horses from the former army intercepting them in front of them and forming an array.

Gan Ning pulled the uneasy horses under him, raised the halberd in his hand, and followed Gan Ning's soldiers to forcefully suppress the fear in their hearts, and obeyed Gan Ning's command.

The unknown is always the most frightening.

Gan Ning looked at the darkness ahead, but there was still a chill in his heart.

Fear slowly spread like a poisonous weed, even veterans who have experienced many battles can't help but feel drums in their hearts.

The strong wind blows, and the sound of hunting comes again.

Gan Ning's eyes narrowed slightly, and a light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

The light was very weak at first, but immediately beside the light, a few more lights appeared.

Afterwards, more and more lights came on, allowing Gan Ning to see the scene ahead clearly.

The first thing that catches the eye is a tall banner, which stands like a flock of chickens among the flags. The surrounding fire shines on it, and a layer of golden light is plated on the banner, which is It added a few points of prestige.

The north wind blew, the banners fluttered, and the word "Wen" appeared in front of Gan Ning's eyes.

There is only one general in the Yellow Turban Army whose surname is "Wen", and that person is the brave general of Jizhou who was once famous in Jizhou, famous in Youzhou, and famous for being the bravest of the three armies-Wen Chou!
The sound of sharp wooden whistles, the sound of stepping in order, and the rumble of horseshoes beating on the grass, all came from all directions to Gan Ning's ears.

The dense flames gathered together, eventually converging into a sea of ​​flames.

The fire was full of flames, and more and more torches were lit.

Gan Ning led the horse and looked around, and there were already flames on their two wings.

The mountains and plains are full of fire.

They have already fallen into the encirclement of the Yellow Turban Army.

Surrounded by three ques and one, it seems to be life, but in fact it is death.

Although Gan Ning is a fighting general, he is not incompetent in military affairs.

Although he had expected all this, when the Yellow Turban Army blocked the road, the oppressive feeling brought by it made Gan Ning's hand holding the halberd tremble uncontrollably.

If you want to escape from Chengdu, there is only one way to choose - Deus Ex!
Ren Xian knew it from the very beginning, and so did Gan Ning.

The reason why Ren Xian asked him to lead the army was to use him as an arrow to lead the army out of the encirclement.

The Yellow Turban Army didn't have many cavalry, and they still had [-] cavalry, so it was not difficult to break out of the encirclement.

Gan Ning's face was serious, and he looked at the steps not far ahead under the firelight.

The first general, wearing a purple robe, wearing a yellow scarf around his head, holding a spear in his hand, wearing a bow and arrow at his waist, and wearing gold, silver and red armor, with a horizontal spear immediately under the banner, without thinking too much, he knew that he was Wen Chou.

And behind him, one after another is riding a tall horse, wearing cavalry armor, holding a gun and saber, and wearing a burqa belt, with a murderous look.

With limited vision, Gan Ning did not know how many cavalry the Yellow Turban Army had.

But just this one glance made Gan Ning feel the difference between them.

I'm afraid this battle...

There are more ills than good luck.
