Domination of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 443 The Sadness of the Yellow Turban 1
Millions of Qingzhou Yellow Turban Army, this time it can be said that they came out in full force. Their purpose was to raise food and grass for the winter. The number of Yellow Turban Army had already exceeded the imagination of Guan Hai and other Yellow Turban Army leaders. The food in their hands could not support the army at all. Spend the coming spring plowing.

This is also the reason why the Yellow Turban Army is so powerful this time. They can't survive anymore, so the old and weak, women and children have to come out to find food.Young people fight in the front, and the old and weak follow behind to pick up leftovers to eat. Only in this way can these Yellow Turban soldiers barely survive.

When Gongsun Xu's army gathered in Leling, Guan Hai had sent 5 people to Le'an to intercept them. If the northern army wanted to reach Beihai in the shortest possible time and break the siege of Beihai, they had to go to Le'an .

Moreover, the route chosen by Gongsun Xu is a bit unpredictable. Since crossing the river and entering the Bohai Sea, the Northern Xinjiang Army has been marching along the sea for more than 100 miles. Moreover, sometimes in order to find out the situation on the sea, Gongsun Xu even It will make the army stop and rest.

In this way, Gongsun Xu wasted a lot of time at the seaside. This is also the main reason why the [-] Qingzhou Army was able to intercept the Northern Army before it reached Le'an. Otherwise, according to the assault speed of the Northern Army's cavalry , I'm afraid it's time to hit Beihai City by now.

No one in the Yellow Turban Army knew what Gongsun Xu wanted to do, and no one knew whether Gongsun Xu's behavior was related to this expedition. In other words, they still couldn't figure out whether the Northern Xinjiang Army wanted to attack them. .

So far, the behavior of the northern border army is very inconsistent with the previous combat methods. Guan Hai is now gathering the main forces from various places to fight against the northern border army.

Outsiders don't know what Gongsun Xu wants to do, but several important generals of the Northern Frontier Army do.The reason why my lord wasted such a long time at the beach is simply to find a place in the nearby sea that is most suitable for the navy to land. If possible, perhaps it is most appropriate to build a few piers.

After all, this is the first time that the navy has fought in the Han territory. Although the navy that is mobilized this time does not need to participate in actual combat, it must be able to withstand the toss of the sea anyway. Dependent on naval transport.

In order to make this move well, Gongsun Xu had to deal with it carefully.In addition, he has another purpose, which is to give the Yellow Turbans enough time to gather. This time, he intends to solve the Yellow Turban problem completely in one battle.

If they just defeated the Yellow Turban Army as they did back then, then the Yellow Turban Army would break up into many divisions again. Gongsun Xu has limited troops, and the number of people who can be captured by a million Yellow Turbans is probably only 30 to [-]. The problem is still not resolved.

Obviously, the current actions of the Yellow Turban Army are all carried out according to Gongsun Xu's plan. Guan Hai sent 5 horses to Le'an to intercept, nothing more than trying to buy time for the Yellow Turban Army's large troops to gather.

Gongsun Xu has already built many piers in Zhangwu, Bohai, and Leling. As long as the Yellow Turban Army with the head head migrates along this route, the problem of food and grass along the way can be properly resolved.With the navy to assist in transporting food, the cavalry can free up their hands to do more things.

After the definite news came from the navy, Gongsun Xu's cavalry finally dispatched. At this time, the assembly of [-] Qingzhou in Le'an had just ended. Even if Gongsun Xu gave them enough time to arrange all this, but The food and grass problem of the Yellow Turban Army is flawed, and most of their transportation depends on manpower, so the food and grass problem of the [-] army has not yet been solved.

Guan Hai is continuing his strength, but Gongsun Xu is ready. The Northern Army has not fought against the Yellow Turban Army so far. Most of the Yellow Turban Army have never seen the strength of the Northern Army cavalry, let alone the number one in Northern Xinjiang. The prestige of the army's election front.

When Guan Hai was sending people to transport the food and grass of the [-] Yellow Turban Army, Gongsun Xu had already ordered Tai Shici to be the commander-in-chief, with three lieutenants of the Xuanfeng Army as lieutenants, and the [-] Xuanfeng Army to detour from the rear with one man and two cavalry. Pingyuan, and then headed towards Jinan, and the guide of this cavalry was Wu Anguo, the double-hammer general.

Tai Shici and Wu Anguo are both locals, and they are quite familiar with the local situation. Moreover, Tai Shici was a famous ranger in the local area, and he also did many good deeds. The local people now pass on Tai Shici's prestige.

In recent years, Tai Shici has been flourishing in northern Xinjiang. The people in Donglai are all proud of Tai Shici, and the people around Qingzhou are also the same. After all, it is too difficult to produce such a hero.

Two days after Tai Shici set off here, Gongsun Xu sent Zhao Yun to lead [-] cavalry to coerce the [-] Yellow Turban Army from the side, while Gongsun Xu led the rest of the troops to advance steadily. There is also a bit of momentum, but Gongsun Xu doesn't seem to be worried at all.

Guan Yu led an army of [-] infantry and moved forward with Gongsun Xu's army. When encountering a Yellow Turban army blocking the attack, Gongsun Xu always sent cavalry to detour to the rear of the Yellow Turban army to harass and attack, while Guan Guan led the infantry to face it from the front. The Yellow Turban Army launched a fierce attack.

Every time, when the Yellow Turban Army was preparing to fight to the death with the Northern Xinjiang Army infantry in front, their rear and sides were always in danger. Under such circumstances, it would be a miracle if the Yellow Turban Army could still fight.

After encountering the Yellow Turban Army four times like this, Gongsun Xu defeated the enemy army without exception. However, in these four times, Gongsun Xu didn't really kill many enemies. host.

Moreover, Gongsun Xu didn't seem to care much about capturing the captives. He just sent cavalry to drive away the Yellow Turbans who were about to flee to Guanhai, and drove them all to Le'an. After four times, Le'an finally failed. Soldiers were then sent to intercept the Northern Xinjiang Army. The [-] Yellow Turban Army seemed to want to fight the Northern Xinjiang Army to the death in Le'an.

It's a pity that Gongsun Xu and his counselor Guo Jia had already guessed the opponent's general's mind, otherwise Gongsun Xu would not have sent Tai Shici's cavalry.Tai Shici's task is to cut off the food and grass of the Le'an Yellow Turban Army, and at the same time block the rescue of the Le'an Yellow Turban Army by the main force of the Yellow Turban Army.

And Zhao Yun has also completed his strategic intention at this moment. He has seized favorable terrain in the southwest of Le'an, and the [-] yellow scarf army in Le'an is now faintly besieged by Gongsun Xu's army in Le'an.

This is Gongsun Xu's idea. Le'an is indeed the place he must pass through when marching, but the north of Le'an is close to the sea, and the east is the North Sea. There is Kong Rong's army there. As long as he can defend the remaining two sides in time, plus If the food and grass for the Yellow Turban Army can't be supplied, then the [-] Yellow Turban Army will become the turtle in the urn.

Of course, to accomplish this strategic intention, there is a major premise that the 5 Yellow Turbans must be defeated before the main force of the Yellow Turbans makes a move. , drove them to the sea, forced them to a dead end, and finally forced them to surrender.

Since the cavalry moved much faster than the infantry, Guan Hai realized that he had made a mistake after the cavalry of the Northern Xinjiang Army surrounded the Yellow Turban Army in Le'an. Fortunately, the northern border army did not launch an attack on them, which gave them enough time to prepare for defense.

When Guan Hai wanted to adjust his strategy to support Le'an, bad news came one after another.

First of all, the Le'an Yellow Turban Army was scared by the Northern Xinjiang Army. They no longer dare to divide their forces to block the attack. In order to achieve a blocking effect, the Le'an Yellow Turban Army shrank the defense line, but in this way, the Northern Xinjiang Army hardly took much effort They drove the Le'an Yellow Turban Army together.

Guan Hai already smelled something dangerous from this news, and then there was news about grain roads being attacked by the northern border army one after another. Did Guan Hai finally save the grain and grass to support the Le'an Yellow Turban Army? Even if they were burned, because the opponents were cavalry and they came and went like the wind, the Yellow Turban Army had nothing to do with them. Up to now, Guan Hai no longer dared to send out food transport teams casually.

But in this way, Le'an will soon run out of food and grass. Just after Guan Hai sent 2000 heavy troops to protect the food transport team to deliver a batch of food and grass, there was a news from the rear that a cavalry force of about [-] people appeared In the rear, they have attacked several places where food and grass are hoarded.

The news frightened Guan Hai as soon as the news came. The food and grass in his hands were pitifully small, and it was the result of saving food and money to support him until now, but it was only a few days ago. So much food was lost.

While Guan Hai was worrying about these things, news came from the front that the food transport team protected by [-] heavy soldiers was attacked by [-] cavalry. The personnel did not lose much, but all the food and grass were burned.

Guan Hai was dumbfounded at this moment. He didn't know how the Northern Border Army did all this. From the very beginning, the information showed that Gongsun Xu only led a little over 2 cavalry into battle. Although some infantry and soldiers were mobilized in Zhongshan Citizen husbands, but the total number will not exceed [-].

However, Guan Hai was stunned by the beating now, he had no idea how the other party did all this.

The northern Xinjiang army is the best in the world, and its biggest feature is the cavalry.It's just that in these years, the cavalry of the Northern Border Army rarely dispatched in the interior of the Han Dynasty, and Guan Hai himself rarely confronted such elite cavalry. Of course he didn't understand that Gongsun Xu used his speed to catch him off guard.

Those two thousand who went to attack the rear of the Yellow Turban Army were the Frontier Army led by Tai Shici and Wu Anguo, and after Gongsun Xu successfully forced the Yellow Turban Army back in Le'an, he immediately led the Frontier Army of five thousand and three thousand Tiger Ben The army rushed to intercept the grain and grass transported by Guan Hai.

Before Tai Shici left, he left behind two lieutenants and three thousand cavalrymen to keep a close eye on Guan Hai's side. to the message.

And Gongsun Xu's cavalry directly attacking Guan Hai's grain transport team would only waste half a day at most. This is still here. If it was on the grassland, Gongsun Xu's cavalry could reach the battle location in more than an hour.

Guan Hai was so beaten that he couldn't find his way. He didn't have much food and grass in his hands, so he didn't dare to waste it like this anymore. He was powerless to deal with the Le'an Yellow Turban Army now.
