Imperial Power Of Han Dynasty

After Liu Ye's troops had a short rest in Jun County, they went all the way south. After Jun County was Huai County, they officially entered the Sili Xiaowei Department, the central area ruled by the Han Dynasty.

Since the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Emperor Ling ordered the eight gates around Luoyang to be under martial law, but the inspections on the periphery were far less stringent than those around Luoyang. Liu Ye led his troops southward from Huai County, passed through Guancheng, and went to Xinzheng. He also experienced several battles on the way. , the group of villagers who came in from Jun County were naturally nervous.

However, the Licheng army uses veterans to lead new recruits. The new army has no more than 200 people, while the elite soldiers have more than 800 people. The ratio is only one to four. Under the leadership of the veterans, they quickly integrated into the Licheng army. After all, Hebei people are good at equestrianism, and a little practice is enough. Although they can't compare with the three hundred fine riders for a while, I believe that after a big battle, they can change.

If Liu Ye wants to expand his army, like a Yellow Turban bandit, he will coerce tens of thousands of people at every turn. When the time comes, the army will be defeated like a mountain, and these 800 old soldiers will be scared away.

After passing Xinzheng, Yuzhou is to the south, and the gateway to the north of Yuzhou is Changshe City.

One month ago, Zhonglang's general Huangfusong was at a disadvantage in the battle, so he led his troops back into the city of Changshe and defended the city. One must know that Huangfusong was a famous general in the Han Dynasty, what kind of army could force him into the city?

People, people everywhere.

As a city, Changshe City is no longer the most eye-catching building on this land, because its brilliance has been taken away by another building.

Outside the city of Changshe, the army of Yellow Turban bandits formed a battalion for tens of miles, living in weeds, like a mighty dragon, surrounding the city on three sides, almost swallowing the city of Changshe directly.

The city wall of Changshe has long been battered by war, and there are dark red blood stains in the gaps between the bricks and stones of the city wall. Dozens of arrows were inserted into the body and hands and feet of an officer who fell from the top of the city wall. It can be seen how tragic the fighting situation is.

Above the city tower, more than a dozen shields were clinking together, revealing a piece of armor with bright red tassels fluttering on it.

I didn't expect the Yellow Turban Bandits to be so powerful that they trapped the old man in the city.

The general's hair was gray, his tired facial features were still resolute, his eyes were bloodshot, he had been nailed to the top of the wall for two full days and nights without closing his eyes.

But at this time, there was a change in the Yellow Turban Barracks. From the countless barracks, there were bandits with yellow scarves on their heads. A few people carried a ladder on their shoulders. Thousands of people gathered from all directions immediately.

General Zhonglang, the moth thief is about to attack the city again!

It turned out that this veteran was one of the three generals appointed by the imperial court, Huang Fusong who was ordered to go south to Yingyu.

Hurry up and prepare the rolling log, gold soup, and never let the yellow scarf thieves climb to the top of the city.

The thousands of officers and soldiers guarding the city were originally the elite of the northern army in Luoyang City. They have been familiar with defending the city for many days. , while the archers of the officers and soldiers stood on the top of the city.

There were countless yellow turban thieves coming from all sides, and the city was full of yellow raging waves. The officers, soldiers and archers waited until the yellow turban thieves were within range, and immediately released their bows and arrows condescendingly, shooting the yellow turban thieves to the ground. But the number of yellow turban thieves is really overwhelming. After being shot by bows and arrows, they are like small waves rising from the sea. The remaining people continued to carry the ladder and rushed forward almost unaffected.

The yellow turban thieves under the rain of arrows came under the city of Changshe, and erected the ladder with all their strength. The iron hook above the ladder hung on the tower with a sound, and tens of thousands of yellow turban thieves climbed like ants on the ladder. On the ground, there are so many yellow turban thieves, almost dozens of ladders attack at the same time on each side of the city, as if the city wall has been painted with dozens of yellow lines.

Those grassroots officers and soldiers on the top of the city gave orders one after another.

Let the arrow!

Put rolling logs and throw stones!

Pour gold soup!

The rain of arrows never stopped, and blood sprang up from the body of the yellow scarf who was shot down, but after a while of ups and downs, he raised his head slowly, with two fierce lights in his eyes, he broke the arrows or After pulling it out, he continued to charge forward with the injury, so brave.

Seeing the two rows of teeth of the yellow scarf thieves firmly biting the ring head knife, climbing up the ladder with both hands and feet, seeing that they climbed higher and higher, getting closer and closer to the top of the city, and suddenly a black shadow enveloped the head.

A huge boulder made the officers and soldiers come down, and the yellow turban thief who was hit was bloodied on the spot, and fell to the ground with a scream, and some even grabbed another person and fell down together.

In addition to the stones, there are also rolling logs, each of which is covered with iron bars and sharpened wooden thorns. They were thrown down by two officers and soldiers, and immediately rolled down and smashed into the yellow scarf thief In the body, iron bars and wooden thorns pierced in, and the brave yellow scarf thief couldn't help screaming in pain, and left the ladder with both hands.

Although these rocks and rolling logs are cruel, they are not as good as Jintang.

Gu Ruo Jin Tang refers to a city made of gold and iron, boiling water into a river, while Jin Tang is made of feces mixed with water and boiled to a high temperature, exuding an ugly and unpleasant smell, even the officers and soldiers next to them couldn't help frowning, covering their eyes Hold the nose.

fall!

A few officers and soldiers covered their palms with cloth strips, grabbed the edge and poured it down. The boiling golden soup rushed down, and immediately poured the yellow scarf thieves on the entire ladder to their heads and faces.

The golden soup was originally extremely hot, poured on the human skin, it immediately burned the skin and festered, and there was feces in it. Even if those yellow scarf thieves were not scalded to death on the spot, they would be infected with bacteria after falling And death, after all, with the medical methods of this era, if the golden soup is poured, it is almost certain death.

However, these yellow scarf thieves were extremely brave, even if they were hit by rolling logs and stones, and poured down with golden soup, the comrades behind them were still brave enough to hold onto the ladder with both hands, and continued to climb up.

The defense equipment of the officers and soldiers is also limited, and they cannot be opened up every day. Gradually, some yellow scarf thieves finally climbed to the top of the ladder. Excited, they jumped up, grabbed the first knife in the ring, and cut To the officers and soldiers on the top of the city.

After these pioneers climbed to the top of the city, they were not in a hurry to kill, but went forward with all their strength to create a position for the comrades behind them. Therefore, as soon as they climbed to the top of the city, they were surrounded by officers and soldiers, surrounded by seven or eight soldiers. The spear in the officer's hand stabbed out, stabbing him so cold that his body fell backwards and suddenly fell to the top of the wall.

And the yellow scarf thieves behind him, although sad in their hearts, still rushed up one after another.
