Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

Chapter 57: The Battle of Qingzhou (Part 1)

The sun slowly jumped up from the east, and the sun did not know how many tens of thousands of times it shone on the ancient city of Linzi.

At this time, the gate of Linzi city was opened, and the army came out in formation. More than 4,000 people from the Youzhou army rushed out first. Next to them are the two brothers Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.

The Youzhou army had just left the city, and Liu Ye led the Licheng army out. Since Gong Jing handed over all the elite soldiers in Linzi city to Liu Ye's command yesterday, only a few hundred Han troops and all the young and strong were left in the city, so Liu Ye's troops, although It is a partial division, but there are more than 3,000 people, and the total strength of the two sides is more than 8,000, which is close to 10,000.

After Xu He fought fiercely these days, the Yellow Turbans under his command suffered heavy losses. Before that, there were 60,000 troops. Now, except for some old and weak people staying in the camp, the rest of the troops have come out in full force. There are still nearly 40,000 people. It is a pity for Xu He that the elite soldiers of the old battalion suffered heavy losses after yesterday's battle, with nearly half of the casualties. There are more than 1,600 people left in total. Elite soldiers from the Young and Old Battalion, this is simply digging at Xu He's heart!

It's just that the formation of the yellow turban bandits today is different. Generally speaking, Xu He relies on a large number of troops, so the strength of the three armies is equal, but he only puts the old battalion elite soldiers by his side, but today Xu He has a full 40,000 army. Thirty thousand people gathered in the central army, and only 10,000 partial divisions were left to be commanded by Wei Gong.

Xu He's eyes were red, and he looked like a broken can, and he felt distressed when he saw it.

Xu Shuai, if we do this, I'm afraid there will be a lot of casualties for the brothers. Ten thousand lives were lost in the first battle yesterday. Today, the officers and soldiers are united in one place, with over ten thousand troops. Shall we withdraw?

Le He cautiously comforted Xu He, but Xu He turned his head and gave him a hard look. His red eyes looked like a vicious dog who was so hungry that he had to eat human corpses, which shocked Le He.

Stop talking nonsense! What are miscellaneous soldiers? As long as Linzi City is captured, all parts of Qingzhou will respond, not to mention 60,000, but 100,000. It will be easy for a million troops!

Xu He had decided to have a decisive battle with the government and army today.

Beat the drum, go out!

More than a dozen bandits with yellow scarves wrapped around their heads and their upper bodies stripped naked held two drumsticks and slammed them on the cowhide war drum. The army was divided into two parts, encircling Liu Bei and Zou Jing's central army and Liu Ye's partial division.

Seeing tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves approaching aggressively and clamoring, bursts of yellow dust suddenly rose. The momentum of tens of thousands of troops rushing out in unison is really not much different from the galloping horses. It really has the momentum to change the color of the mountains and rivers.

Chang Tian is dead, Huang Tian shall stand.

The year is Jiazi, and the world will be blessed!

As the yellow turban bandits shouted out their slogans, the faces of tens of thousands of yellow turban bandits suddenly became fanatical. At the beginning, tens of thousands of troops swept across Qingzhou, conquering the city and conquering the territory.

Nearly ten thousand officers and soldiers remained motionless, with no fear on their faces.

The Yellow Turban Thieves were indeed invincible in the past, but what they defeated were the underdogs who only dared to defend the city, but today they faced the strong men who dared to go out of the city to fight.

Liu Bei ordered the guards beside him to wave the flag. After Liu Ye saw it, he ordered the troops under his command to move forward slowly.

The 40,000 yellow turban thieves followed Xu He's previous deployment, only Dele and urged the main force of the yellow turban thieves to drive forward, while Wei Gong led the 10,000 yellow turban thieves to threaten Liu Ye.

Seeing the two armies approaching slowly, the officers and soldiers stopped immediately and issued orders. Each army had its own division of labor. The archers stepped forward hurriedly, drew their bows and set their arrows. Arrows on the string, thousands of arrows weaved an arrow net in the sky, covered the yellow turban thief, and shot the yellow turban thief down.

However, Zhang Jiao's slogan was still very appealing, so the yellow turban thieves behind continued to clamor forward, and the injured yellow turban thieves were left behind in the blink of an eye. The archers of the official army, on the other hand, took their time and put their arrows on the string again. The second and third rounds of volleys shot down more than two thousand yellow scarf thieves.

There were only three shots before the battle, and the distance of dozens of steps in an instant was no longer enough for the archers to show their power. The archers retracted their bows and retreated, while the sword and shield hands and the big oarsmen crossed the front army to reach the front of the formation, and erected their shields on the ground. , to resist the charge of the Yellow Turban Thieves.

After all, the Yellow Turban Bandits are numerous and powerful, and their morale is high, so the officers and soldiers who dare to go out to fight in the city first take a defensive position to consume the energy of the Yellow Turban Bandits, and wait until the Yellow Turban Bandits' energy is exhausted before attacking.

Tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves rushed in like a yellow tide of anger, and slammed into the formation of the officers and soldiers. The big oarsmen in the front row were full of anger, and the blue veins on their arms were exposed, and they firmly resisted the soldiers in the front row. The yellow turban thief, and the spearman behind him stretched out his arms, stretched out his spear, and immediately pierced the yellow turban thief in front of the oar several bloody holes.

The morale of the yellow turban bandits was high, and they came up continuously, and continued to advance one after another. Hot blood splashed on the big oars and shields. After getting wet, the exhausted oarsman couldn't hold on anymore, and a gap suddenly appeared in the formation of the officers and soldiers.

The yellow turban thieves were ecstatic, and immediately rushed towards the gap, but at this moment, a spear more than one foot long came out of the formation, piercing through the three yellow turban thieves in one go.

Hi!

Zhang Fei roared angrily, raised his arms with great strength, and picked up the spear with all his strength, and the three corpses flew out immediately. Although countless yellow turban thieves rushed up, there was a fierce general like Zhang Fei blocking the door, and the yellow turban thieves Unexpectedly, no one could rush in, and a dozen yellow-turban thieves were immediately picked and killed by Zhang Fei, while a big oar hand hurried over, and gave the big oar a heavy blow to the ground, filling the gap. up.

Both Youzhou Army and Licheng Army were attacked by the Yellow Turban Thieves several times their own at this time, but Liu Ye was under much less pressure than Liu Bei. After all, he was only dealing with the partial division of the Yellow Turban Thief, while the Youzhou Army was facing The pressure on the main force of the Yellow Turban Thieves was much greater, and the defense line was always on the verge of collapse. Thanks to Liu Bei's order, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei each led dozens of powerful soldiers to help, and this stabilized the defense line.

However, the landslide and tsunami-like offensive of the Yellow Turban bandits was slowly contained, and the two armies entered a stalemate for a while, unable to stand each other.
